When the first yellow leaves fell, more than 10,000 Korean musketeers rushed outside Shengjing.
Looking at the depressed scene of this Manchu and Qing capital, Jin Zidian felt particularly depressed.
"Compared with Xia, the Qing Dynasty has shown signs of decline. We still need to find another way out."
The deputy general disagreed with his statement.
"Even if we are willing, Lord Guanghai doesn't have the capacity to tolerate others."
This statement made Jin Zidian look even more depressed.
"The ministers of this country have been summoned by His Majesty, and they are leading the available troops to obey orders."
In the palace, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty gathered together, and Jin Zidian also appeared on behalf of North Korea.
"I am very pleased that the leader of North Korea is loyal. This time I went south, but I have gained something, 30% of which can be owned by North Korea."
Kim Zidian and other North Koreans finally smiled when they heard that they could follow him to drink soup.
After appeasing the Korean soldiers and horses, Huang Taiji looked at the gathering of Manchu and Qing civil and military officials and cheered himself up.
"Water from outside can soothe the internal fire. Whether we can survive this winter well depends on you all."
In the main hall, everyone knelt down one after another, and the sound of the clanging armor leaves was quite spectacular.
"I will fight to the death with all my strength and return with a full load."
The previous war in Korea and the severe drought in the summer had severely damaged the Qing Dynasty's vitality.
Seeing the lack of harvest in the fields, everyone understood that the coming winter would be a test of life and death for the Manchus.
At a critical moment, even if it were not Huang Taiji, there would be only one way to alleviate the crisis if it were another person.
That is to go south to knock the pass and plunder the Ming Dynasty.
Who said that the Ming Dynasty was the richest but also the weakest?
"Prince Rui, you are the ordered general, leading the left-wing army; Prince Su, you are the general Yangwu, commanding the right-wing army."
Huang Taiji's deployment was not much different from the original history, except that Hauge replaced the dead Yue Tuo.
In the past two years of war, Hauge's performance was very impressive.
The happiest person is Huang Taiji.
After all, he is his eldest son. He has made many military exploits and has made obvious progress, which shows that he has a successor.
This time going south to plunder the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji decided to give Hauge another chance to accumulate military exploits.
In addition to the 50,000 Manchu troops on the left and right sides, he also asked North Korea to send 10,000 musketeers.
In addition, various Mongolian tribes also sent 40,000 cavalry to participate in the battle.
In the Korean War, the Mongolian ministries also suffered considerable losses, so complaints abounded.
Huang Taiji was keenly aware of the dissatisfaction of the Mongols.
This time he went south to plunder the Ming Dynasty and make up for his losses, so he brought the Mongols with him.
As long as the Mongolian ministries can grab a lot of money, they will naturally still be obedient to the Manchus.
"Your Majesty, the Loop is occupied by unknown Han people. I would like to ask for your instructions on how to deal with it."
Wu Keshan, on behalf of various Mongolian ministries, talked about the abnormal situation.
Huang Taiji is very confident about this.
"The Han people cannot stand on the grassland. If they don't leave after this winter, I will help you take them back."
With his promise, the Mongolian ministries finally felt a lot more at ease.
After learning that the Hetao area was occupied by Han armed forces and that the Chahar tribe had been wiped out, all Mongolian tribes were in turmoil and were extremely nervous.
However, with the help of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, recovering the Loop seems to be no big problem.
The most urgent task is to follow the Qing army southward and grab enough supplies for the winter.
On August 23, Dorgon and Hauge respectively led two armies to set off from Shengjing.
Taking advantage of the cool weather, they bypassed the Ming Dynasty's Liaoxi defense line and suddenly appeared outside the Great Wall border.
Over the years, the Ming Dynasty's Great Wall defense line was repeatedly ravaged by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It was riddled with holes and could not provide any protective effect.
On September 22, with the cooperation of the traitor, Haug suddenly launched an attack. The Ming army was not given any preparation time at all, and it only took one and a half hours to break through Qiangzi Ridge in Miyun.
Ming's army was now divided into two parts.
One of the groups confronted the Manchu Qing in the Shanhaiguan and Liaoxi areas.
Another group was originally in the Central Plains area to suppress rogue bandits, but now it was transferred to the surrounding areas of Xia Kingdom to plot evil.
Although the capital was the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the surrounding areas were extremely weak.
After Hauge broke through the level, he encountered no obstacles at all.
The Qing army was like a flood that had opened its gates and spread rapidly across the country.
Wu Aheng, the governor of Jiliao who was stationed in Jizhou, only had time to send an urgent document to the capital before the Qing army captured the city and he himself died under the knife of the Qing army.
The Ming court was painstakingly planning how to deal with the Xia Kingdom. Suddenly they heard that the Qing army had broken through the pass, and everyone was dumbfounded.
"Your Majesty, the Donglu are coming with great force and their plans are very big. Even Shanhaiguan has been attacked. The capital is the capital of the country, and there is no room for loss. Please immediately issue an order to send troops from all over the country to protect the king."
Yang Sichang was very worried.
At this moment, he no longer cares about dealing with Xia Guo.
The Qing army, which was wreaking havoc on the capital and conquering cities and territories, was the current enemy.
Chongzhen sat on the throne, filled with anger that almost turned into blood and spurted out of his mouth.
He really wanted to ask the sky above his head, why did he treat his son like this?
After finally suppressing the rogue bandits, as long as they work harder and eliminate the Xia Kingdom, peace can be restored to the Central Plains. At that time, after the border troubles are resolved, the Ming Dynasty and ZTE can be expected to revive.
Fortunately now, although the rogue bandits have died down, the threat from the Xia Kingdom still lingers in their throats. However, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties suddenly called, destroying the court's well-arranged arrangements.
"Immediately send an order to Lu Xiangsheng to lead the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi. King Qin. Gao Qiqian will lead the soldiers and horses of Liaodong to block the retreat of the Eastern captives."
After hearing his arrangement, Yang Sichang felt that it was quite inappropriate.
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of a humble minister, I will order Hong Bingxian to lead his troops and horses to the north immediately. With such an attack from three sides, it may be possible to defeat the Donglu."
Although the soldiers and horses of Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian were considered elite, the three armies led by Hong Chengchou were stationed in Daming Mansion and Guide Mansion.
As long as they go north, not only will they be able to destroy the Qing army, but at least they will be able to protect various places from the Qing army's poison.
Unexpectedly, this perfect strategy was heard by Chongzhen, but it did not cause any disturbance.
"Hong Chengchou's troops and horses are not moving for the time being."
Just when Yang Sichang was confused and wanted to give advice, Chongzhen finally expressed his concerns.
"I'm just afraid that the Xia thieves will take advantage of the situation. If that happens, the world will really fall apart and everything will turn upside down."
His statement made Yang Sichang not sure how to respond.
Yang Sichang always felt that Xia State would not take the opportunity to send troops.
After all, when the Qing army invaded several times before, Xia State did not take advantage of others' danger, and even accepted many people who became refugees.
But he could only keep this thought in his heart and did not dare to speak it out.
The king in front of him was the most jealous in history.
If he suspects that he is not loyal enough, his head will be moved.
In any case, with the entry of the Qing army, the entire situation began to change rapidly.
The confrontation between Ming and Xia, which could have gone off at any time, quickly evolved into a defensive operation for the Ming Dynasty.
