Chapter 679 Passing the Message

Ajige was in Huainan and captured a large-scale territory, and his prestige rose sharply, and the power of the Dorgon's remaining party rose.

Shunzhi was very vigilant about this, so he wanted to fight a war, boost the momentum of the imperial party, and suppress Ajige's limelight.

Sun Kewang negotiated with the Qing army, which allowed Shunzhi to see this opportunity.

If the Qing army could occupy Sichuan, it would not only change the general trend of the world, but also increase his prestige, make the throne stable, and suppress Ajige and others.

Entering Sichuan is a major event. When Jin destroyed Wu and Yuan destroyed Song, they all took Bashu first and occupied the upper reaches. Once the Qing army entered Sichuan, the Ming Dynasty would definitely take action. Therefore, the battle to enter Sichuan would definitely not be limited to Sichuan, and it would definitely be a world war.

In order to deal with the Qing army's entry into Sichuan and the Ming Dynasty launched a restraining war, Shunzhi had to solve the main hidden dangers before entering Sichuan, and it is very likely that outside the pass was a card that Zhao Zamao would play.

Therefore, Shunzhi decided to remove Zhao Zamao's nails outside the pass before entering Sichuan to prevent the Qing army from falling into two fronts.

Yue Le was shocked after hearing Oboi's words, "The court is ready to attack Bashu!"

Aobai said: "That's right, so the barbarians in Liaodong must be resolved as soon as possible so that the court has no worries."

Yue Le was silent for a moment and nodded, "I understand."

But then asked again: "How many soldiers have you brought this time?"

Aobai said: "Two blue flags have 10,000 people, and two yellow flags have 10,000 people."

Yue Le frowned, "Too few! I'm afraid this is not enough!"

Ebilong said: "Prince, there are also Korqin and Chahar's 100,000 cavalrymen."

Aobai said: "It's August now, and the autumn is high and the horses are fat, which is the time to use troops. The court's intention is to take advantage of Zhao Zamao's unpreparedness and concentrate the army and use thunder to wipe out the enemy in Liaodong."

Liaodong is convenient for shipping. If Zhao Ming heard the news, he would inevitably increase his troops in Liaodong and turn the war into a tug-of-war.

This time, the Qing Dynasty sent troops, and in order to make a surprise attack, they were all cavalry mobilized.

Yue Le narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Xie Qian had just occupied Gaizhou, and the vanguard advanced to Haizhou and Sanchahe. If there were more than 100,000 cavalrymen and they were surprised, they might be able to annihilate Xie Qian's main force in Gaizhou."

At the mouth of the Qinghe River, sea ships were coming and going, sending food, grass, military supplies, and new troops transported from Jiangdong to the shore.

After Zhao Ming proclaimed Wang Jianfan, Yuyi expanded the troops of the vassal state to 300,000. Now there are 230,000 soldiers and horses, and the remaining vacancies are also being recruited in a tense manner.

Now in the south of the Yangtze River, the Qing army and the Ming army are fighting across the river. In addition, there are more than 100,000 Zhu Yihai's army in the north of the Yangtze River. The Wu Yue family did not need to garrison too many soldiers and horses, which allowed Zhao Ming to mobilize many soldiers and horses.

Since Zhao Ming officially called him the vassal and set up the king of kings in Hangzhou, he has continuously sent troops to Liaodong to transport military supplies.

This is to temper the new army, and the second is to seek horses from Mongolia outside the pass.

In the battle of Jiangbei, Zhao Ming lost all his elite troops, and thousands of horses in his hands were wiped out. Now that the army is expanded, he will have to fight the north in the future. It is impossible to succeed without cavalry.

Starting from March, the Wu and Yue army landed in Liaodong one after another. It was precisely because of reinforcements from Jiangdong that Xie Qian drove the Qing army out of Liaodong and occupied Gaizhou, opening the door to Shenyang.

At this time, 30,000 Wu Yue troops had been assembled on the Gaizhou line, more than 10,000 mercenaries in Jiangbei, and another 30,000 Korean troops were also ordered to cross the Yalu River and advance to the Lianshan Pass line, threatening the Liaohe Plain from the east.

The Qing army had only more than 30,000 troops outside the pass, and the Wu Yue Kingdom's troops outside the pass had exceeded Yue Le.

At the mouth of the river, Xie Qian, wearing a new military uniform, stood on the shore on horseback, watching the artillery and military funds transported from the ship.

Xie Qian asked: "This governor's army gathered in Gaizhou. Did the Qing army in Haizhou do anything?"

General Chen Youlong said: "Some days ago, the Qing army in Haizhou sent scouts to peek at us, but there was no movement in recent days."

Xie Qian Wenyu couldn't help but frown, turned his head to look at Chen Youlong, and said in confusion: "No movement, it shouldn't be!"

Chen Youlong also said: "The governor occupied Gaizhou. If he used the navy to seize Jinzhou and Ningyuan Fort, Yue Le's army would be isolated outside the pass. The Qing army should indeed take action."

Xie Qian pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Is there any news about the detailed work of Liaozhong?"

Chen Youlong said: "The Military Intelligence Department has no news."

Xie Qian felt a little uneasy and said seriously: "The land of Liaodong is too far from Jiangdong and too close to Beijing. Release the scouts to investigate the news of the Qing army."

"No! I'm not going to accept the order!" Chen Youlong immediately clasped his fists.

South of Shenyang, Liaoyang City.

At this time, a large number of Qing troops had already gathered in the city. The 20,000 Qing troops who came from the pass came. Not long after arriving in the city, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry came from the north, which could be said to be a gathering of large armies.

In the Shanxi barracks, Jiang Xiang's younger brother Jiang Youguang looked at the man in front of him and felt a sense of panic.

As early as a few years ago, Zhao Ming sent a detailed work to contact Jiang Xiang, the general of Datong, and persuaded Jiang Xiang to do whatever he wanted at the right time.

At that time, Duoduo and Dorgon died one after another. The Ming army captured Wuchang and forced Kong Youde to death. Zhao Ming and Zhu Yihai launched a large-scale northern expedition and recovered Nanjing. The situation of anti-Qing was very good.

After Jiang Xiang joined the Qing Dynasty, he was already suspicious of the Qing court and was not valued, so he naturally hit it off with Zhao Ming. However, what he did not expect was that just when the anti-Qing situation was in great prosperity, Zhao Ming failed to attack Jiangbei, while the Longwu Dynasty suddenly argued with the Qing Dynasty, and the Anti-Qing War came to an abrupt end.

In this way, Jiang Xiang was left aside. At this time, after the Ming and Qing Dynasties peace talks, the Qing court began to rectify the Green Camp Army. Jiang Xiang did not dare to resist at all, so he handed over the command of his troops. More than 30,000 Datong Army was split by the Qing Dynasty and sent to various places for service.

Jiang Youguang and the Three Thousand Datong Army were transferred outside the pass, obeying Yue Le's orders and focusing on serving the Qing Dynasty.

Originally, after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Datong Army had already decided to do anything. Jiang Xiang and Jiang Youguang had never contacted the Ming army again, but after Jiang Youguang was sent outside the pass, he was defeated in the battle, captured by the Wu Yue army, and then released, and was targeted by the people of the Military Information Department again.

In the room, Jiang Youguang's throat was a little dry, and he said to the Military Information Department, who was changing the Qing army equipment in front of him: "I have found out clearly. There are two blue flags, two yellow flags, a total of 20,000 people. In addition, Korqin and Chahar each sent 50,000 cavalry. Now the Korqin cavalry has arrived, and when the Chahar cavalry arrives, Yue Le will immediately wave his troops south and blitz into Liaodong. If you dare to go back quickly, it will be over if it is late. If you are defeated, don't sell me or force me. My family is in Beijing. What I can do for you is to provide some information."

The Military Information Department carefully wrote Gao Ding and smiled and said, "Don't worry, Deputy General Jiang, Wu Yue's army will definitely not fail, and even if I am arrested, I will never betray you, because Deputy General Jiang still has a role in us."
