Emperor Ming Dynasty

Zhu Yixi is well aware of the suddenness of the war, and there is a reason to be prepared to fight unprepared.

Therefore, in early April, he sent envoys to secretly leave Shanhaiguan to send a signal for peace talks to the Qing Dynasty.

"Talk, I want to see what Ming Ting wants to talk about."

Panting heavily, Dorgon agreed.

The envoy was also unambiguous, pointing to five conditions:
First, remove the title of emperor, confer the title of king of Manchuria, and meet the emperor of Ming Dynasty with courtesies.

Second, give up the Liaoxi Corridor west of Jinzhou, and hand over all the castle land.

Third, hand over the rebels who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty since Chongzhen...

Fourth, the Chahar tribe is recognized as a vassal of the Ming Dynasty and must not be bullied.

Fifth, thousands of war horses and thousands of furs are paid as tribute every year...

As soon as these conditions came out, the whole dynasty exploded.

A large number of Hanchens cried bitterly and went to the Prince Regent's Mansion, demanding that the peace talks be stopped and that the Qing Dynasty would never be a slave.

The nobles of the Eight Banners also have different opinions, and there is no decision on this.

If it was in the past, this kind of condition would be ignored.

It's a pity that now, in the battle of Chahar, around the city of Chahanhot, the Manchu Qing could not attack for a long time, half a month wasted in vain.

This made the Eight Banners realize that it is impossible to restore the combat power to the level before entering the customs just by supplementing the number of people.

The Ming army is also very different from before, with amazing will and tenacious combat effectiveness, which is completely different.

"Absurd, ridiculous—"

The 14 years old Emperor Shunzhi, when he heard these conditions, was out of breath and furious:

"Such conditions are shameful and ridiculous. Could it be that we are not as good as that weak Song Dynasty? I don't believe that the Ming court will remain indifferent once the flag moves."

After venting his emotions, Shunzhi calmed down, and ordered: "Preach the fact that I lost my temper just now."

"Yes!" The eunuch hurriedly responded.

Now, the nobles of the Eight Banners immediately united and rejected all the terms of the peace negotiation.

Dorgon couldn't resist the anger of the public, so he could only send out the envoy to calm people's hearts.

It's just that once this move was made, people could see the truth instead.

……

North Korea, outside Uiju City, by the Yalu River.

"Today the weather is clear and cloudless, crossing the river—"

Riding on the horse, Wu Sangui held his head high.

The Yalu River in front of him is as magnificent as the Yellow River, and even in his opinion, its turbulent waves are comparable to the Yangtze River.

The Yalu River, which is hundreds of steps wide, is lonely on both sides at this time, and the endless forests tell the story of the desolation of this place.

After the Manchu Qing went south to Korea twice, all the Koreans who were eager to go north were taken into slavery, and the Jurchens who were fishing and hunting were also forced to join the army.

And behind Wu Sangui, tens of thousands of army flags covered the sky, the horses neighed, and the soldiers exclaimed, looking strong and strong.

This is the [-] Beijing Battalion, the Ming Dynasty Allied Forces with [-] Korean soldiers.

"Chief soldier, there is no bridge on this river, when will the navy arrive?"

Li Chengdong rubbed his arms, the wind in the river was cold.Blowing for a long time makes people shiver.

"Not urgent--"

Wu Sangui said in a deep voice: "The sea is unstable. At this time, we have to wait."

As soon as the words fell, a sail was seen from a distance, and then countless ships came in an endless stream, cutting through the water and heading towards this place.

Two hours later, a large number of boats put together a dozen or so wooden bridges on the river. Although they shook a little, they were generally safe.

"Crossing the bridge—"

Wu Sangui shouted loudly, and the whole army was shocked.

The soldiers are valiant and high-spirited, from North Korea's Uiju, across the Yalu River, and came to Zhongjiang City.

The castle guarded by hundreds of people collapsed at the first touch, and fell directly after a while.

"Along the Chongjiang River, there are Zhenjiang Fort, Tangzhan, and then our habitat, Phoenix City."

Wu Sangui originally wanted to find some maps, but this small fortress didn't have them. He had to find some slave soldiers to inquire about the situation, and then he knew the general idea.

He pointed to Phoenix City and said: "The city here is high and the pool is deep. It used to be the right guard of Dingliao. After taking it, you can put the luggage here and let the North Korean soldiers guard it."

"What about you?"

Li Yingren was in a hurry. Well, when I came to Liaodong, I had to lead the North Korean soldiers to defend the city. The military achievements were not sticky at all.

"Judging from the old map of the imperial court, we will march westward and gather with the army in Liaoyang to conquer Liaodong Town together."

Wu Sangui said in a deep voice: "The North Korean army is not just defending the city. If the battle ahead goes well, you should also take defense along the way and fight with me."

"it is good--"

……

On the other side, after handling the matter of crossing the river, the Beihai Navy became busy again, moving the Beijing camp in Tianjin into the mouth of the Liaohe River.

Due to the large number of people in the Beijing camp, the Beihai Navy can only recruit local merchant ships, and a total of two trips can be fully operated.

But at this moment, the gates of Shanhaiguan were wide open.

Li Jizu led [-] disciples of the Beijing camp and [-] soldiers of Guan Ning, and headed for the city of Zhongqian not far away, holding the banner in a mighty manner.

During the Tianqi period in western Liaoning, around Guangning and Jinzhou, a large number of castles were built, totaling as many as 120.

With so many castles, the garrison strength is not more than one hundred thousand, which is completely impossible to guarantee.

Later, during the reign of Chongzhen, the reason why it fell was because troops were transferred into the pass to suppress the bandits, so that the Manchu Qing could take advantage of it and swept the Liaoxi Corridor.

"Boom for me—"

Li Jizu stood on horseback, looked at the fortified Zhongqian city in the distance, and said dismissively.

Soon, more than a dozen cannons in red, roaring continuously, covered the small Zhongqian city completely,
The sound of the cannon directly silenced the entire western Liaoning.

In less than half a day, the small city of Zhongqian was lost.

Gaoling Station, Qiantun Weicheng, Liangshuihe Station, Pingchuan Yingbao, and Zhonghousuo City fell one by one.

It is only two hundred miles away from the famous Ningyuan City, and there are only a dozen camps in between.

E Mengge, the guard of Ningyuan City, was taken aback, and urgently recruited Eight Banners to guard the city, waiting for reinforcements.

Soon, under the flames of war, the news reached Shengjing.

"Pseudo-Ming Er dare—"

The cabinet, Fan Wencheng and other bachelors were taken aback. Is this going to war?
Due to the retreat and the punishment of Shanxi merchants, Man Qing had nothing to say about the news inside the pass, so naturally he was not aware of the months-long war preparations.

Several people did not dare to be negligent, and directly reported it to the regent.

Although Dorgon was lingering and sick for a long time, his prestige was too high after all, and he still kept his word in the court.

The meeting of kings and ministers to discuss politics is also held in due course.

But at this moment, Bai Chuka, the guardian of Phoenix City, urgently sent out a military report, saying that Ming people had invaded.

Now, the meeting of the king and ministers discussing politics was completely noisy.

Even Hauge and Azier's unscrupulous characters survived and obeyed Dorgon's command.

Lying halfway on the couch, Dorgon's round face was a little pointed at this time, and his face was pale. From a distance, his beard was a little gray.

"Falsely revealing the wolf's ambition, it has been premeditated for a long time. The so-called peace talks are just a cover-up."
