After the Ming army won the Baliqiao Victory, the road to Yanjing had been opened, and the Qing army was no longer able to stop the Ming army's offensive.

However, Zhao Peng's new Ming army slowed down its attack five miles away from the capital, but instead set up camp five miles outside Chaoyang Gate east of the capital, stopping its pace towards the capital.

The Ming army camp was built very strongly, with many open whistles inside and outside the barracks, roaming whistles and secret whistles to ensure the safety of the camp. Zhao Peng sat in the central army's tent, with confidant generals such as Gong Xiaoda, Chen Xinyuan, and Wang Quan sitting on both sides.

"Our army is too small to besiege the capital, and we can't even surround the three and ones. What we have to do now is to drive the Qing Dynasty to the Western Regions. If we attack the capital rashly, our army will not be able to block the road from the Qing Dynasty to the northeast. Once Fulin's son escapes back to the northeast, our plan will fail more than half." Zhao Peng looked around and said.

"Lord, we can send light cavalry to patrol the northeast of the capital. Once we find that Fulin's child wants to escape back to the northeast, our light cavalry can intercept them." Wang Quan said.

Zhao Peng nodded slightly: "The light cavalry must be sent, but there are several roads to escape from Yanjing. Fulin can run out of Juyongguan and then escape from Zhangjiakou to the grassland; or escape to Jizhou and escape from Jizhou to the grassland. Once they are allowed to escape to the grassland, we can't catch them anymore and can only let them escape back to the northeast. So the most important thing is to negotiate with Fulin, let the Qing Dynasty surrender, and then negotiate terms with them, so that they can only go west, not east."

"Lord, why are you hesitating?" Gong Xiaoda shouted anxiously, "Let's just send someone to negotiate."

Zhao Peng smiled and said, "How can we send someone to negotiate? Wouldn't that become our request for peace? We should wait for the little Tartar emperor to send someone to negotiate with us."

"But will they send someone to talk to us?" Wang Quan expressed his doubts.

"I have sent a partial army to land from the mouth of Liaohe River. Once this partial army captures Shenyang, then Fulin has no way out. I can only send someone to negotiate with us honestly." Zhao Peng said with a smile.

There are not many people in the knowledge of this partial army sent by Zhao Peng. Except for Zhao Peng, Zhu Cixuan and the Princess, no one knows it. Even the soldiers in his army only know it today.

Three days ago, a new Ming army with only 5,000 people quietly landed from the mouth of Liaohe River. At this time, outside the pass, the new Ming army with a vast land and sparse population was sparsely landed. After the new Ming army with more than 5,000 people landed on ashore, it immediately became divided into more than 20 small troops, each of which was between 200 and 300 people, disguised as Qing soldiers and marched towards Shenyang.

There were not many Qing troops outside the pass. Apart from Ningguta, Liaoyang and Shengjing, there were almost no Qing soldiers on the vast Northeast Plain.

The side troops passed by along the way, and they met abandoned villages on the way, and there were almost no people. Those abandoned villages were originally villages where bannermen lived. Before the Qing army entered the pass, bannermen lived in these villages. Under each bannermen, there was Baoyi Aha working for them and farming the land here.

However, after the Qing army entered the pass, most of the flag guards brought Baoyi Aha into the pass. After entering the pass, most of the flag guards lived in the city, and the status of those Baoyi Aha who were originally slaves also rose with the flow. They upgraded from slaves like cattle and sheep to loyal dogs who were masters. They completely bid farewell to physical labor and became slaves who looked down on others and bullied men and women everywhere.

As the flag director brought his clothes into the pass, the fertile black soil outside the pass was abandoned and turned into a wasteland overgrown with weeds, which is indeed a pity.

It was precisely because the Qing army regarded the outside of the pass as their long-lasting place after entering the pass and prohibited the Han people from going out to open up land and farming. Therefore, during most of the Qing Dynasty, the outside of the pass was deserted, and even the Shengjing and Liaoyang areas were sparsely populated, not to mention Jilin and Heilongjiang, not to mention the areas east of the Ussuri River and north of Heilongjiang.

In the area east of the Ussuri River and north of Heilongjiang, except for a few Jurchens living in it, there were almost no Eight Banners Army, let alone Han people, with a very sparse population. Because of this, in the original time and space, after the signing of the Treaty of Nebuchu, the so-called border division between the Qing Dynasty and the Rakshasa Kingdom was just a text on paper.

In fact, from Sakhalin Island to the east of the Ussuri River, large areas of land such as Vladivostok and Outer Khingan Mountains were deserted. Before the signing of the Beijing Tianhe in the late Qing Dynasty, Manchu had lost control over these places in the early morning, resulting in these places actually falling into the hands of the Rakshasa people. However, the Rakshasa people were unable to fully control Sakhalin Island, and the southern part of Sakhalin Island was controlled by the Japanese.

After the Russo-Japanese War, Japan took the opportunity to occupy the entire Sakhalin Island. After the end of World War II, the Soviet army recaptured Sakhalin Island and also took the opportunity to occupy the four northern islands.

But in this time and space, these things would not happen, because the Ming army had already built a solid fortress in Vladivostok, and many fortresses were built along the coastlines of the Ussuri River and the Ussuri River.

The abandoned villages in Liaodong also saved the trouble of the Ming army's partial divisions, which made the Ming army march thousands of miles away, but there was no trace of the Qing army discovering the Ming new army.

On the way, there were occasionally a few small villages inhabited by only a few dozen people. The Ming army did not approach them, but just passed by.

The Ming army's side division passed by Liaoyang and entered the city without any effort with the skin of the Eight Banners Army.

There were almost no residents in Liaoyang City, and only a few Eight Banners troops left behind were stationed outside the pass. The bitter and cold place outside the pass was extremely cold in winter. After the Qing army entered the pass, most of the bannermen and a few Han merchants who made a living outside the pass followed. The winter in the northeast was extremely cold, who would like to live in this bitter and cold place?

The Ming army entering the city occupied Liaoyang almost without bloodshed, and stationed in a Niulu in Liaoyang. Most of the more than 300 Eight Banners Army became prisoners of the Ming army before they could react. Only a few of them resisted were cut off by the Ming army's heads.

Through interrogation of the prisoners, it was learned that at this time that only three Niulu Eight Banners soldiers were stationed there, which could be said to be almost an unguarded empty city.

After capturing Liaoyang, the Ming army did not make things difficult for these prisoners and the residents in the city, but destroyed the beacon tower and then sent a thousand advance troops to rush towards Shengjing on the captured war horses. The remaining four thousand Ming troops stayed in Liaoyang for one day, left Liaoyang early the next morning and rushed to Shengjing.

It only took a day for the advance troops to send one thousand light cavalry, and he rushed outside Shengjing City at night.

The city gate was wide open, and there were only two Eight Banners soldiers standing lazily at the door smoking. When they saw a cavalry approaching, they had no doubt that it was an attack by the Ming army.

The Ming army's light cavalry rushed past the two Eight Banners soldiers with the help of horses. A sword flashed and the heads of the two Eight Banners soldiers landed on the ground. The cavalry from behind rushed into the city with a whistle.

The light cavalry rushed around the city, and the Qing army could not organize effective resistance at all, and was defeated by the Ming army's light cavalry. Then these light cavalry rushed directly into the Forbidden City of Shengjing, killed a few Qing army guards, and controlled the Forbidden City.

Seeing that the number of Ming soldiers was not large, the Qing army stationed in Shengjing launched an attack on the Forbidden City, attempting to retake the Forbidden City. However, the Ming army not only did not defend the city, but instead formed an array to fight back.

These Ming cavalry were originally a group of infantry trained by horses, and after dismounting, they became musketeers. The Ming army lined up and killed them from the city. Accompanied by the roar of muskets, the Qing soldiers coming towards them were knocked down in a pool of blood.

Even the archers of the Eight Banners were useless. The Qing army's light arrows could not penetrate the Ming army wearing cotton armor; the direct heavy arrows were only fifty steps in the range, and the flintlock rifle in the Ming army's hands had an effective range of seventy steps. Before the Qing army's archers could shoot close enough, they were knocked down by the Ming army's flintlock rifle in rows, and they could not launch an effective counterattack.

The Ming army quickly annihilated most of the Qing army, leaving only a few Qing army to flee Shengjing on horseback. However, the Ming army did not chase them, but deliberately let them go and let them flee back to Yanjing to report the news.
