The Huaxia navy was still receiving orders to reorganize, and the northern Qing army took the first step.On February [-], Yanu, the governor of Shandong, personally went to Huangxian County to enlist the people of Denglai to set up beacon towers along the coast; on February [-], Beihe Nuo, the governor of Zhili, wrote to the prefects of Tianjin, Cangzhou and other places, ordering the construction of beacon towers; The early warning mechanism of the Qing court surrounding the entire Bohai Bay began to be established.

On February 42, the 26nd year of Kangxi, the Qingdengzhou Navy successfully landed on the north and south Changshan Islands with 200 fishing boats and more than [-] navy officers and soldiers, and then successfully recovered the adjacent temple from the nonexistent Xia Army. A series of islands such as Daheishan Island and Daheishan Island have preliminarily controlled the Miaodao waterway and Changshan waterway.

On the seventh day of March, the Shandong Qing army, which initially established beacon towers and stationed troops on Changshan Island in the north and south, continued to go north to seize the island.As a result, after paying a "significant" price, they successfully recaptured the deserted Tuoji Island and some of its subsidiary islands, and basically established an early warning for the South Tuoji Waterway, the Alpine Waterway, and the North Tuoji Waterway.

On March [-]th, when the two Xia Jun Xinbao ships sailed into the Bohai Strait on a routine cruise, they were surprised to find that, starting from Beichenghuang Island, the islands at the mouth of the Bohai Sea lit up beacon fires successively, and the beacon fires started with Xia Jun's jaw-dropping voice. The speed spread all the way to Liaodong and Shandong Peninsula, reaching the distance beyond the eyesight of the officers and soldiers of the Xia Army Navy.

"What the hell is the Qing army doing?" The two commanders of the Xia army notification ship chatted with the signal flag for a while, but they still didn't understand. "Go, go back and report to the superior, the Qing army may have made a big move."

The Qing army has indeed made a big move. On the tenth day of March, the [-] Firearms Battalion, the [-] Banner New Army, and the [-] New Battalion Green Battalion brought ten Wucheng Yonggu Cannons and thirty light Shenwei General Cannons from the Beijing-Tianjin area They set off and traveled eastward all the way, and it took only seven days to pass through the most dangerous Liaoxi Corridor in their eyes to reach Shengjing.

Later, the Qing army rested for three days and crossed the Yalu River into North Korea on March 25.

At this time, North Korea only kept the extremely barren areas of Hamgyong, Pyongan Province, Hwanghae Province, and Gangwon Province, with a household registration of less than 30 and a military force of less than [-]. Only relying on the South Korean side to face the complete demise of North Korea would force the Qing government to make a big move The fear of intervention and the realistic deterrence of the [-] Qing troops stationed in Pyongyang to the South Korean army barely survived.Fortunately, South Korea, which has four provinces, a household registration of one million, and an army of [-], also has hidden worries. Out of fear that China will force North Korea to fulfill its agreement and transfer the Korean throne, South Korea is actually unwilling to unify North Korea immediately. , thus making a wedding dress for Huaxia.

While the pro-Xia faction and anti-Xia forces in South Korea were still repeating the usual party struggles in the past, the Qing army had already kicked off the counterattack.On March [-]th, the left wing of the Eight Banners new army who led the army into the DPRK was unified and waited for Gong Poerpen to command the new and old Eight Banners and the Green Battalion [-] troops to swear an oath in Pyongyang, then crossed the Datong River, passed through Huangzhou, and went straight to Qilin Road .At the same time, in order to confuse the Xia army in Nanpu, the Qing army also pretended to trade with each other. As a result, the Xia army defender was still considering building a warehouse for dozens of carts of Liaodong giant trees, and the Qing army's forward cavalry captured the Qilin Road.

The Qing army immediately abandoned Haizhou and did not attack. They first seized Jinchuan County City on the banks of the Licheng River, and then went straight to the important town of Kaesong.
