In the autumn of the 19th year of Chongzhen, in the past few months, the north was in chaos.

Zheng Zhilong made Qilu uneasy, and the entire northern coastal area was uneasy. From Denglai to Tianjin, from Tianjin to outside the Pass, there was war of smoke everywhere on the long coastline.

Although the Qing Dynasty had deployed a lot of troops, it was still frustrated by the emergency documents flying like snowflakes. Because the defensive troops they arranged could not stop Zheng Zhilong at all.

With such a long defensive nature, what can the Qing Dynasty do if it is arranged? It is useless to sprinkle sesame and salt.

In Yanjing City, Prince Rui's mansion, the atmosphere was heavy. No one dared to speak loudly inside and outside, just because Dorgon's face was as cold as the cold winter month.

"Prince Li disappointed me so much..."

Zheng Zhilong and his men actually captured Jinzhou. When he saw this news just now, Dorgon thought it was just absurd. It was Jinzhou there!

"Don't calm down..."

Mandahai was very embarrassed. Prince Li was his father. After the smallpox outside the pass rose, Empress Jiergalang also came to Yanjing City with the Empress Dowager and the young emperor. Prince Li Daishan stayed in Shengjing and dominated the situation outside the pass. And there were no one else who was sent by Daishan to station in Jinzhou. It was his eldest nephew, the eldest son of his eldest brother Yuetuo, Aisin Gioro Luoluhun. However, compared with his half-brother's ability, Luoluhun was much less capable. In the eighth year of Chongde, because of his drinking and provocation, Minhuigong and Yuanfei (Huang Taiji's original wife) were deposed and were deposed.

Even if Dorgon wanted to win over Luo Luohun, Yue Tuo's lineage, and seek an excuse to regain his title, it would not take long.

Now, because he is only concerned about running horses, hunting and having fun outside the city, Zheng Zhilong led his army to attack, and the Jinzhou garrison was not only unsuspecting, but also without a leader, and was easily taken down the city. Mandahai really didn't know what to say.

"Stop the anger? How can I calm my anger? Zheng Zhilong is so arrogant, how can I calm my anger?"

Dorgon's face was a little ferocious. If possible, he would rather give up all the land of Denglai to Zheng Zhilong in order to get his temporary calm.

In the years before, the Qing Tartars who had never seen the threat from the sea were now deeply experiencing the bitter taste of being in the sea without any defense.

If the power at sea is not good, the land will be controlled by people and be beaten everywhere. Even if you have 10% of your strength, you can't even exert 10%. This taste is so disgusting.

It's not a question of who is stronger and weaker than me, but the fact that you use a little finger to resist someone else's fist.

The bloody reality made the word "Haid Defense" engraved into the bones of the top leaders of the Tartars.

"I, the Qing Dynasty, was not blessed by God this time." Dorgon sighed to the sky.

It is now a critical moment, but Zheng Zhilong is not "absent" like the previous two encounters. Not only is he not absent, but he seems to be trying his best to find fault and relieve Li Zicheng one or two of the pressure.

What's even more terrifying is that once Zheng Zhilong gets angry, the Qing Dynasty will be in a difficult situation and will be difficult to resist.

The belief in establishing a powerful navy army is so urgent in Dorgon's heart now.

But although Dorgon's suffocation made him upset, fortunately, the general trend of the Qing Dynasty can still be held back. It is much stronger than Li Zicheng, who is far away from the seaside and inland.

The latter was attacked from many sides and was also frustrated, but he didn't have such strong confidence.

The current situation of Li Zicheng is truly critical.

The enemy was attacked from the back and forth, which forced him to split his troops into two groups to deal with it. But as soon as he divided his troops back to help, Duoduo led most of the Eight Banners troops of the Qing army in the south to Heluo. The Ming army in Jingxiang also attacked fiercely at this time, surrounding the main force of the Baiwang army in Xiangyang, while the army crossed the Han River and entered the Nanyang Basin... It was thanks to Zhang Xianzhong's truce with him, otherwise Li Zicheng would have opened up five relatively independent battlefields.

No matter how rich Li Zicheng's family is, he can't stand such a fight. The territory in southwest Henan was completely lost in the blink of an eye. The left army general Jin Shenghuan led troops to display Ruzhou and met the Qing army that entered Heluo.

But there was no collision and conflict between the two sides.

By August, the city of Luoyang was completely destroyed by the Qing Dynasty with red barbarian cannons, and Liu Fangliang was forced to retreat to Tongguan. The Qing army that occupied Heluo did not immediately launch an attack on the vital Tongguan, but instead crossed the Yellow River from Mengjin and entered southern Shanxi.

At this time, Datong also declared its loss.

The food in the city was exhausted and almost a place where people ate each other. Ajige sent people to shout that they would like to break the siege and allow the people to escape and find food. Although Luo Hu knew that it was inappropriate, he knew that if he did not open the city gate and let the people leave, the already uneasy military morale in the city would become even more riots. Seeing that there was no way out of life, the people in the city would definitely not be able to close their eyes and die. In desperation, they could only open the city gate and let the people leave. As a result, the soldiers guarding the city also rushed to flee. Luo Hu could not ban it, so Datong was trapped.

Luo Hu led the defeated generals to escape to Hongtao Mountain outside the city, and then fled to Luliang Mountain.

Northern Shanxi was completely taken away by the Qing Dynasty.

But Taiyuan City is still stable. If Li Shunjun stuck Taiyuan City, he could protect most of the Taiyuan Basin, as well as the Linfen Basin and Jiezhou (Yuncheng) Basin to the south.

Jinzhongnan is still a treasure land in Li Zicheng's hands.

The salt pond in Jiezhou is Li Zicheng's money bag. Li Zicheng took it in his hands and bought it by the executive officer, earning millions of stagnants per stone a year. Using salt to exchange for money and grain in the hands of the people can be said to be the largest source of income for the Li Shun regime in the past two years.

Seeing that the "three-year agreement" was over, the Dashun Dynasty's finances were getting more abundant, but at this moment the situation suddenly changed, Li Zicheng wanted to vomit blood.

But isn’t Duoduo’s march into southern Shanxi for money? The salt pond in southern Shanxi is far inland, unlike Changlu Salt Fields, which are all on the beach. They are swept by Zheng Zhilong every year and every month.

That year's output was not only 600,000 dan, but it was difficult to guarantee a half-deal.

But whenever the Qing Dynasty was in financial difficulties, it printed salt turbulences, and the latter did not know how many times the depreciation had been. Taking over the salt turbulence in southern Shanxi was equivalent to revitalizing the salt turbulence. It was of great significance to the Qing Dynasty.

Li Zicheng could not tolerate the loss of southern Jin Dynasty, so he immediately asked Liu Zongmin to lead troops to retake southern Jin Dynasty.

As a result, Liu Zongmin led his troops from Pujin to southern Shanxi, and Ajige led the Eight Banners soldiers to gather the Mongolian troops in the south of the desert. Tens of thousands of Manchu-Mongolian-Han coalition troops rushed to Yulin from the Mongolian grassland.

The latter is a major border town, so it is naturally impossible to have Li Shun's army stationed, but 5,000 soldiers are not enough. There is still a shortage of guarding Yulin City, let alone covering the surrounding border walls.

Yulin City is a strong city in the world. Although there are not many soldiers, it is not easy for the Qing army to step down. Ajige then ordered Kong Youde to lead the Han army to besiege Yulin City, and he led Man and Meng's main force to attack Yansui (An) through Mizhi. In Mizhi, the Qing army was fiercely resisted by Liu Tichun's troops stationed in the local area. The Qing army was besieged for nearly ten days and could not step down.

Liu Tichun's persistence gave Li Zicheng a chance to breathe. He hurriedly ordered the recovery of Liu Zongmin's army, and then asked Zhao Guangyuan and other troops to rush to help Mizhi. Ajige left Wu Keshan to continue besieging Mizhi, and led his main force over Mizhi to fight against Shun Army reinforcements.

Zhao Guangyuan and other troops seemed to have many banners, but there were not many soldiers. They lined up to fight on the mountain. Ajige first invited the battle with cavalry, and then attacked with Tan Tai's side and back. Shun's army failed in the initial battle and had to retreat to Yansui, so the Qing army then pursued a large number of people.

At this time, Li Zicheng had already assembled a large army in Chang'an and decisively gave up southern Jin. He first sent an order to Li Guo from Taiyuan, asking him to retreat, and asked Yuan Zongdi from Linfen to lead his troops to take over the Taiyuan Shun Army from western Jin and take Longmen Ferry. After defeating Jiezhou, he retreated to the Zezhou Prefecture in southeast Jin, and Liu Rukui's troops moved to Guanzhong.

Li Zicheng obviously wanted to strictly guard the Tongguan line and then concentrate his troops to compete with the Manchu and Mongolian army on the northern line. Although there is news and legend, because Gushi Khan's army surrounded Lanzhou, all the western prefectures that had lost contact with the east had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Milayin, Ding Guodong and other generals had already led their troops to the east to reinforce Gushi Khan.

Li Zicheng had no time to take care of it.

For the current Dashun Dynasty, the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces in northern Shaanxi are the most deadly threats.

...

Li Shun of the Qing Dynasty was fighting, so the news could not be hidden from the world. Because it is a war period, military information is crucial.

Although Emperor Chongzhen did not openly restore the factory guards, Luo Yangxing was obviously active.

Even if the news of the Tartars gathering troops in various Mongolian units was not that the news was not smooth between the pass and the Mongolian grasslands. As long as the news of the Mongolian units in southern desert were transmitted to the pass first, Li Zicheng was afraid that he would not strengthen the troops on the front line of Yulin.

But the Qing Dynasty used the news inside and outside the pass to isolate the troops in the south of the desert and secretly recruited troops in the south of the desert, so that Yulin City was besieged. The Manchu and Mongolian army passed through the weak side wall and penetrated straight in, catching Li Zicheng off guard.

But things have come to this point and cannot be changed. Li Zicheng is surrounded by enemies, and the situation is already extremely unfavorable to him.

However, in Qilu, with a large number of Eight Banners soldiers being taken out of the Central Plains, Prince Su Haoge, who was in charge of Qilu, wanted to curse himself. Duoduo took the main force very cleanly, so he was in trouble.

Although the Qing Dynasty was so powerful in the inland, the situation was not very beneficial to the Qing court when it was just the words in Qi and Lu. Although the green flag soldiers of Qi and Lu have been expanding repeatedly recently, Fang Dayou, the governor of Qi and Lu, claimed that Qi and Lu had a "100,000" soldiers, but fools knew that there were not so many.

If there were so many second Tartars in Qilu, wouldn’t some small local anti-Qing armed forces in several western prefectures be over long ago?

However, according to some plausible news from the Black Ice Platform, Zu Kefa, the new Qilu Green Camp Admiral, not only arranged a large number of landlord armed forces in several western prefectures, but also asked some people from Yanjing. It was roughly the Baoyi, the followers, the early Ming army that surrendered, or the small number of more capable Han Eight Banners soldiers. In general, the paper power lost due to Li Shutai's defeat, the Qilu Green Banner soldiers must have recovered.

"When the Tartars move, we move too. Don't think that we can only shrink in winter. The main force in the Tartars pass is either guarding Yanjing City or in Guanzhong, in western Jin and Central Plains, and in Qi and Lu?"

Zheng Zhilong did not take the green flag soldiers of Qilu seriously, nor did he take the Haoge, who was in charge of Qingzhou seriously.

Just like Emperor Chongzhen in Jinling City, he acted like he wanted to do something big.

"My servants, the main force of the Tartars has been trapped in Shanxi and Shaanxi. Although Li thieves are poor, they still have a group of stubborn people under their command. They can be told that the Tartars cannot succeed for the time being. In this way, the Central Plains are empty and the Northern Zhili is empty. This is the time when our dynasty rises."
