In the second year of Yongli, from the fifth year of the Shun to the Qing Dynasty, in August 1648, the Qing Dynasty's White Banner Lord Gushan Ezhen Heluohui led the Gushan Ezhen Yechen, Meile'er Zhenzhu Mala and other Eight Banner generals to kill the Ming Dynasty's garrison Tang Wenyao, and after conquering Luling, he went south and continued to attack Ganzhou.

Ganzhou garrison Li Chengdong led tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to defend day and night, and finally defended Ganzhou City. The commander of the Qing army, He Luohui, died at the city of red barbarians, and the Qing army retreated to the Luling area.

At this time, in the capital of Zhaoqing, the Ming Dynasty, Empress Wang gave birth to a prince before giving birth.

In October, Jiao Lian, the general of the Guangdong Fenshui Pass, led the surrendered general Chen Bao, and led tens of thousands of water routes to Fujian, and successfully instigated Zheng Chenggong to cooperate with the army to attack Fuzhou City.

In March of the third year of Yongli, Fuzhou was captured. Chen Jin, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang in the Qing army, and Zhao Guozuo, the governor of Fujian, were captured and killed. The prefectures and counties in Fujian responded to the rebellion of the Qing Dynasty and restoration of the Ming Dynasty. In less than a month, Fujian was liberated.

In the fourth year of Yongli, in early April, Emperor Zhu Youlang of Yongli personally led a 50,000 army to Huguang, defeated the Qing army commander Luke Dehun in Changsha, and joined the king's troops of Sanshun.

At the same time, Wu Sangui, who was stationed in Hubei, was instigated. After some secret discussions, Wu Sangui led his 30,000 troops to return to the Ming Dynasty and was restored in less than a year.

In July of the fourth year of Yongli, Zhu Youlang personally led a 100,000 army from the Yangtze River to Jiangxi, and fought with Tan Tai, the commander of the Eight Banners of the Qing army, in Jiujiang, the commander of the Eight Banners of the Qing army, and the Qing army retreated to Nanzhili. The Jinshenghuan tribe in Nanchang City and Wang Deren tribe in Jiujiang City were successfully rescued.

At the same time, Li Chengdong's troops in Ganzhou City went north to Ganjiang River and joined the army in Nanchang City.

One month later, Zhu Youlang personally led the 250,000 army to fight with the main force of the Qing army's Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners under the Anqing City, Yangtze River, and seized the Anqing City at the cost of 20,000 soldiers' death.

The main force of the Eight Banners of the Qing army also suffered more than 20,000 losses.

Tan Tai was repeatedly defeated and was dismissed by the regent of the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon, and the main force of the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia was withdrawn to the north bank of the Yangtze River. At the same time, he appointed the Governor-General Jiangnan Grand Secretary Hong Chengchou as the commander-in-chief, responsible for guarding Nanzhili.

Hong Chengchou was unable to support himself. With Qian Qianyi's help, he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty again. Zhu Youlang brought an army of 200,000 to Jiao Lian, Fujian, and 50,000 troops from Zheng Chenggong's troops to Nanjing and recover Jinling. At this point, the seven southern provinces were revived.

Zhu Youlang vigorously rectified the official system in the south, opened sea trade, earned tens of millions of military pay, and the national treasury was abundant.

In the seventh year of Yongli, Emperor Yongli appointed Jiao Lian as the general of the capture, Wu Jisi, Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan as the deputy general, leading an army of 300,000 to the Central Plains north.

During the Northern Expedition, the "Edict of the Central Plains" was issued, and the notice proposed the program of "expelling the barbarians, restoring China, establishing a guideline for the Chen Ji, and relieving the people" to inspire the people of the north to rise up against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

The army first took Shandong, removed the barrier of the Qing army, then advanced to Henan, cut off its wings, seized Tongguan, occupied the threshold of the Qing army, and then advanced to Beijing. At this time, the Qing army was alone and the two sides launched a decisive battle in the Central Plains. The Qing army commander Duoduo was killed and the deputy commander Ajige was captured. More than half of the 150,000 Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners Army and the Green Camp were killed and injured, and the rest fled in a panic.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, took the royal family and the remaining tens of thousands of troops to flee north outside the pass. The Ming army successfully recovered Beijing and recovered the northern provinces in less than March.

In August of the tenth year of Yongli, Zhu Youlang once again led the army north to Shanhaiguan, pursued the remaining troops of the Qing Dynasty, and launched a decisive battle in Shenyang, Liaodong. The Qing army was defeated again, Dorgon was captured and killed, most of the Manchu royal family was captured, and the remaining troops fled to the grasslands in the northern desert.

In the 12th year of Yongli, Zhu Youlang ordered Jiao Lian to lead an army of 50,000 to the grasslands in the northern desert to chase the remaining enemies, and took over the Manchu royal family in Fengzhou area, capturing the Manchu chief Emperor Shunzhi and Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang alive.
