After Zhao Ming led a large army to defeat Hong Chengchou, the remaining Manchu family members in Chenyang City were unwilling to resist. When the Ming army arrived at the city, almost all those who could run in Chenyang City had fled south. Those who could not run either committed suicide or were captured by the coalition forces.

The Ming soldiers entered the Chenyang City, which was almost unguarded, and wiped out sporadic resistance. In less than an hour, they occupied Chenyang City.

After entering the city, Zhao Ming did not order a massacre of the city, but the coalition forces entering the city carried out an organized massacre of the residents in the city. A large number of Eight Banners' family members were driven into the Liao River, and the drowned bodies almost blocked the river.

When Zhao Ming entered Chenyang City, all the residents in the city had been killed or injured, and only thousands of Baoyi and Banners barely saved their lives.

Chenyang was the old nest of the Qing Dynasty outside the pass. Before the Qing army entered the pass, it invaded the pass six times and robbed a large amount of money.

When the Qing army entered the pass, the Eight Banners soldiers were preparing to enter the pass and loot, but did not bring gold and silver to fight, and a large amount of money was left outside the pass.

After Zhao Ming entered the city, he was not idle. While sending troops to chase the Qing army fleeing south, he blocked the city and confiscated the gold, silver and treasures in the city.

The army found countless gold, silver, treasures, cultural, calligraphy and paintings in the Qing Dynasty palace in Shenyang City and the residences of the Eight Banners nobles in the city.

At this time, although most of the Manchu nobles settled their homes in the pass, there were still people taking care of the mansions outside the pass. Most of the houses of the Manchu royal family, the Eight Banners Banners and generals still had the property they had robbed before.

Zhao Ming asked someone to dig and transport it in the city for several days. Gu Yanwu, who was in charge of the inventory, mobilized a battalion of 3,000 soldiers and loaded more than 100 large trucks. He had not yet loaded the property seized in the city.

Not only silver and gold, but also many utensils, antiques, treasures, calligraphy and paintings, their value is immeasurable and cannot be calculated with money.

In the Qing Dynasty palace in Chenyang City, Zhao Ming stood beside boxes of treasures, his face unable to hide his joy.

Zhao Ming took a rough look and found that the money obtained from the Qing Dynasty palace in Chenyang could already be compensated for the consumption of Donghai Town's expedition in the past year and a half.

With this seizure and the successful development of Shanghai trade, Zhao Ming and Donghai Town are actually not short of money now. What they lack is the channels to spend money and what to do with some money.

"Master, you can transport all your property. What should you do with these palaces?" Gu Yanwu asked with a smile.

Zhao Ming did not answer him, but turned around and asked, "Have the troops pursuing Hong Chengchou returned?"

Xie Qian replied with his fists: "Report to the general, the horse army chased him to Jinzhou and came back."

Zhao Ming frowned slightly, "I'll let Old Hong escape!"

Xie Qian also said discouragedly: "The old thief rode his horse and ran wildly. The cavalry chased hundreds of miles, and the food was approaching. He did not dare to go deep into western Liaoning, so he stopped chasing."

The land outside the pass was sparsely populated and deserted. The Ming army could hardly get supplies and could not fight too far from the main force.

Zhao Ming waved his hand, "Forget it, Hong Zhe lost his way outside the pass. Even if he escapes into the pass, he may not have a good end!"

Zhao Ming paused and suddenly asked again: "Is there any news about Korqin Mongolia?"

Xie Qian replied: "The scout reported that in the upper reaches of the Liao River, Korqin's ranger was found, but the main force of Korqin was not seen."

Zhao Ming pondered for a while when he heard the words, and then said to Gu Yanwu: "Chenyang City is far away from the coast, and there is no population on the Liaohe Plain. Once the Korqin cavalry arrives, we are very likely to be trapped in Shenyang City. Therefore, our general is preparing to withdraw to Liaodong before the heavy snow has not yet been closed. All the things in Chenyang City can be transported away. If you don't have luck, you will burn it with a big fire!"

The population outside the pass is sparse, and the population on the Liaohe Plain is almost empty. If the coalition forces stationed in Chenyang, they will need to send supplies to Chenyang. Not only will the consumption be huge, they will also face harassment from Mongolian cavalry.

Now that the coalition forces occupy the Liaodong area, there is no population to develop military farms for a while, Donghai Town does not need to maintain a garrison in Shenyang and travel hundreds of miles to transport supplies.

Therefore, Zhao Ming did not plan to occupy Chenyang for a long time now. This is not cost-effective, and the second is that the Qing court will not settle with him.

The Ming army has been going on for a year and a half in this battle outside the pass, and Zhao Ming and Donghai Town both need time to rest.

After hearing Zhao Ming's words, Gu Yanwu nodded and saluted, "I understand the humble position!"

In the next few days, the Ming army was busy transporting property. While the Liao River had not yet frozen, they loaded the property, went downstream, transported it to the mouth of the Liaohe River, and then transferred it to Lushun, North Korea and Jiangnan.

In late October, heavy snow fell in Chenyang City, and at this moment, the scout came to report and claimed that Prince Korqin Wu Keshan led tens of thousands of cavalry into the Liaohe Plain.

Wu Keshan was afraid of the coalition forces' momentum and did not dare to approach Chenyang. The Mongolian cavalry did not fight head-on with the coalition forces, but instead raided the supplies of various coalition forces and cut off the food routes. When the coalition forces at the strongholds retreated, they launched another raid, ordering the Korean troops guarding Tieling, Pinglu Fort, Jinglu Fort and other places to suffer great losses.

In view of this, and with the huge consumption of food and grass by more than 100,000 coalition forces and insufficient food in the army, Zhao Ming immediately decided to give up Chenyang and retreat to Liaodong with the captured population.

On October 28, a huge fire lit up in Chenyang City, and more than 100,000 coalition forces retreated to Liaodong under the thick smoke behind them, stepping on the white snow.

The news of the Ming army's retreat was soon discovered by the Korqin cavalry, and Wu Keshan then plucked up his courage to march towards Chenyang.

Along the way, the Mongolian cavalry did not encounter any coalition forces' blockade and advanced to the northern suburbs of Chenyang City on the 30th.

At this time, the fire was still burning in Chenyang City. The Mongolian cavalry saw the black smoke rolling in Chenyang City from a distance, and then another cavalry reported that the tombs of Nurhaci and Huang Taiji outside Chenyang City were destroyed.

Wu Keshan was the elder brother of the Qing Dynasty Empress Dowager Bumubutai and the father of Shunzhi Empress Borjijit Mengguqing. When he learned that his brother-in-law Huang Taiji's mausoleum had been destroyed, Wu Keshan hurried to Beiling with the nobles of Korqin.

At this time, the Beiling was in a mess. The palace was burned and the stone statues were blackened, pushed down and destroyed. Huang Taiji's tomb was dug up and the underground palace was exposed, with very rude methods.

Wu Keshan rushed to Beiling and saw the scene in front of him, especially Huang Taiji's remains, who were actually stormed in broad daylight. He couldn't help but be furious.

In Wu Keshan's mind, Huang Taiji was a very capable and talented monarch. It was during the Huang Taiji period that the Qing Dynasty laid the foundation for the battle for hegemony.

As a slave of the Ming Dynasty, Nurhaci rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and killed countless Liao people. It was no exaggeration to scatter the corpses. However, Huang Taiji was already the second generation and could only be considered a different position, that is, the success and the king would succeed and the defeat of the enemy. Wu Keshan thought that the Ming army was actually treating his brother-in-law like this, so he was a little over.

At this moment, the angry Wu Keshan urgently ordered his subordinates to chase and kill the coalition forces to avenge Huang Taiji.
