Shenyang City.After the Battle of Guanwai, when Zhao Ming evacuated Shenyang, he burned the city and palace.Today, the city of Shenyang is still in ruins, but Donghai Town occupies Liaodong and controls Korea, so that the Manchus have to pay attention to Guanwai.In the past two years, the Qing court has relocated many banner people, and some banner slaves have returned to the Liaozhong region to build fortresses and reclaim wasteland in order to fight against Donghai Town and strengthen the defense outside the Guan.After the peace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Shunzhi ordered the relocation of more than 500,000 clothed banner slaves and established a banner village in the Liaohe Plain, which has now achieved initial results.This kind of serf-like manor has developed rapidly in Liaozhong, and has been able to provide some supplies for the Qing army outside the Guanxi and reduce the logistical pressure of the Qing army.Now, with the arrival of a large number of people in Liaozhong, the Qing army rebuilt two imperial tombs and stationed heavy troops in Shenyang, most of the ruins of the city were cleared, the returning bannermen built houses, and the city of Shenyang, which was destroyed by Donghai Town, was also restored to a certain extent.Shenyang City, Prince An's Mansion.A group of cavalry was surrounded, and a general wearing armor and a white coat, with a sturdy figure and a pair of slender eyes shining with a terrifying cold light, came to the gate of the mansion.When the palace guards saw this, they immediately stepped forward, grabbed the reins of the horse, and said happily: "The master is back." ”The general was none other than Yue Le, Prince An of the Qing court, one of the five great kings of the Manchu Dynasty.After Dolgon's death, after a brief period of turmoil within the Qing court, power was redistributed and Shunzhi was pro-government, and Zilharang, Azig, Mandahai, Lekedehun, and Yue Le were named the five kings of governance.Now Jierharang sits in Beijing to assist Shunzhi in handling political affairs, Luck Dehun sits in Xi'an, monitors Wu Sangui, and resists Sun Kewangchuchuan, Azig sits in Xuzhou and defends the Huaibei line, Mandahai guards Luoyang and supports in the center, while Yue Le guards Shengjing and guards the Manchu lair.After the Ming and Qing dynasties negotiated peace, the Qing court gradually completed the deployment of the whole country, re-stabilized its position, and began to reduce external threats.Yue Le turned over and dismounted, handed the whip to the guards, and strode towards the palace, and the guards who greeted him led the way and said, "Master, the emperor's envoys and generals have been waiting for a long time. ”Yue Le had just returned from inspecting the Qizhuang around Shenyang, and walked straight to the palace hall, where there were several people sitting inside, whispering and discussing what this matter was."
The prince has arrived!"
The guards on duty at the door shouted loudly.At this time, Yue Le strode in, and several people inside immediately stood up, knelt on the ground and saluted, "Slave greets the prince!"
”Yue Le waved his hand, walked to the throne and sat upright, his eyes glanced at everyone, and landed on a Han official wearing a black official robe and a bowl hat on his head, "Fan Shilang came here, what news did he bring?"
”It was Fan Chengyin, the eldest son of Fan Wencheng, a scholar of the Manchu Inner Academy, who had a good name, and was ready to eat the imperial grain of the Great Qing Dynasty and enjoy the glory and wealth when he was born.Fan Chengyin hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Back to the prince, the slave department has indeed brought an important news, as well as an order from the imperial court!"
”"Oh?"
When Yue Le heard this, he couldn't help asking, "What news?"
”Fan Chengyin said with a smile on his face: "According to the news from the imperial court agents, after Zhao Zamao's defeat in Jiangbei, he seems to be disheartened and no longer keen on opposing my Qing Dynasty.Now Zhao Zamao did not increase his troops in Liaodong, but led the fleet to the south to fight Hongmaoyi on the sea. ”Yue Le became interested, "What about Zhao Zamao's southern expedition?"
”Fan Chengyin raised his head, "Yes, Lord Wang."
Previously, the imperial court placed in Jiangdong Xizuo, and the news came back that recently, the envoy of Hongmaoyi came to Beijing again to ask for reinforcements from the Qing Dynasty.Therefore, Zhao Zamao is indeed a southern expedition, and this matter is true!
”"Lord Wang, Zhao Zamao's southern expedition is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us!"
On the side, the rebuilt Han army is red flag Gushan Gang Atai couldn't help but say excitedly.Yue Le's gaze quickly turned, and then he stared at Fan Chengyin and said, "Does the imperial court mean to let this king step up his attack on Liaodong?"
”After the Ming and Qing dynasties negotiated peace, the pressure on the southern front of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was greatly reduced, and forces could be transferred to Guanwai to fight against Donghai Town.However, after all, the armistice was only more than a year, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty had suffered too much loss before that, and ceded Huainan to the Southern Dynasty, and for a time it was also ready to recapture Liaodong.Therefore, after Yue Le arrived in Shengjing, although he gradually increased the front-line troops with the increase of support in Guannei, and fought with Donghai Town in Liaodong, he did not think about driving Donghai Town out of Liaodong in a short time.Now, Zhao Ming's southern expedition means that Donghai Town in Liaodong will not get many reinforcements from Jiangdong, and for Yue Le, the opportunity to seize Liaodong will appear.Fan Chengyin said with a flattering smile: "The prince is wise, the imperial court means that while the Southern Dynasty has not changed its mind, take this opportunity to seize Liaodong, and then annex Korea." ”When the Ming and Qing dynasties negotiated peace, in addition to the written treaty, the two sides also secretly reached a consensus that if the Qing army attacked Liaodong, the Longwu court would not care.Now the Longwu court is eager to weaken the feudal towns and strengthen the centralization of power, so this secret agreement has been reached, and once the Longwu court has consolidated the authority of the central government, it may change its mind.After all, the strategic location of Liaodong is extremely important, and the Longwu Imperial Court will definitely learn the lesson of Mao Wenlong's killing and the Ming Dynasty's self-abandonment of martial arts.Therefore, once the contradiction is transformed and the internal contradiction is no longer sharp, the contradiction between the north and the south becomes the main contradiction again, and the Longwu court is very likely to regret it, after all, as long as the Ming Dynasty controls Liaodong, the Qing court will be in a two-line attack, and it is impossible to invade the Ming Dynasty in the south again.Yue Le pondered for a moment, suddenly stood up, took two steps in the main hall, and then said in a deep voice: "If Zhao Zamao marches south, the troops and materials of Donghai Town will inevitably tend to be dispatched to the south, and Liaodong will not get any reinforcements, which is indeed an excellent opportunity for this king to attack Liaodong." ”Fan Chengyin said: "The prince is wise.In addition, the imperial court thought that Hongmaoyi was in the south and threatened Zhao Zamao, which was beneficial to our dynasty.If Zhao Zamao defeats Hongmaoyi, he will have no worries, and his eyes may be set to the north again.Therefore, the imperial court thought that the prince should launch a general attack as soon as possible, one was to take advantage of the opportunity of Zhao Zamao's southern expedition to recover Liaodong and solve North Korea, and the other was to contain Donghai Town and help Hongmaoyi, making it difficult for Zhao Zamao to defeat Hongmaoyi and fall into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts. ”If the Manchus were able to recover Liaodong, annex Korea, and resolve the threat in the north, they would be able to concentrate their forces and spy on the Southern Ming.Now that the Southern Ming Dynasty is cutting down the feudal domain, if it is slightly provoked and causes a civil war, then the opportunity for the Manchu Qing to go south will come again.Therefore, after the Manchu court received Hongmaoyi's request for help, it was very concerned about this matter.Yue Le nodded, and the Yin Owl's eyes exuded a murderous aura, "Okay, then the king will gather his troops and horses, launch a general attack, and annihilate the enemy soldiers in Liaodong."
This is to encircle Wei to save Zhao and help Hongmaoyi, and the second is to seize Liaodong and completely solve the hidden dangers in the northern part of the Qing Dynasty!
