Not long after the beginning of spring, Zhu Yicheng, who was in the capital, received news from the northeast and northwest.

In the evening of that day, Zhu Yicheng urgently summoned the Military Affairs Office to the palace to discuss matters. In addition to the Military Affairs Office, even Wang Jingqi, who had just been promoted to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, came here. In addition, Zhang Ran, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and Deng Bing, who was in charge of the General Affairs Office.

Jiang Jin, Ma Gongcheng, Sun Jiagan, Zeng Yishu, He Xianzu, Zhuang Yan, Pan Mengyuan, Wang Jingqi, Zhang Ran, Deng Bing.

These ten people are all important officials in the court, military ministers, or in charge of important departments. Although this is not a court meeting, it can be seen from the participants that this meeting is by no means simple.

"Zhongtang, the emperor is sure what is important to attract him?" When he saw the place, He Xianzu was startled. He originally thought that it was just Zhu Yicheng who summoned several military ministers, but he did not expect that even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Jinyiwei and the Ministry of Public Affairs came. This would definitely not be simple. Relying on his usual closeness to Jiang Jin, He Xianzu couldn't help but ask softly.

Jiang Jin shook his head slightly, and did not occasionally answer He Xianzu's words. In fact, even if he knew something, it would not be convenient to say it at this time.

Seeing this, He Xianzu did not ask questions. He sat down on the chair beside Jiang Jin, looking at his nose and nose like others, and waiting patiently for Zhu Yicheng's arrival.

After a moment, with the sound of Xiao Jiangzi outside, Zhu Yicheng stepped in.

Seeing that Zhu Yicheng was coming, everyone quickly stood up to salute the emperor. Zhu Yicheng waved his hand and let everyone sit, and then went directly to the main seat to sit down.

Taking advantage of the moment of sitting down, He Xianzu secretly glanced at Zhu Yicheng in the main position. Seeing that although Zhu Yicheng looked a little solemn, he didn't see any anger. He Xianzu felt a little relieved about this.

"Summon all the ministers to come, there is something important to discuss!" Zhu Yicheng said, and everyone seemed to listen at the same time, waiting for Zhu Yicheng to speak further.

"Duke of Wei sent a rush to speed up, and there has been changes in Liaodong." Zhu Yicheng continued.

When they heard that there was a change in Liaodong, everyone was shocked at the same time, especially Ma Gongcheng, Zhuang Yan and Pan Mengyuan. These three were all military officials and were most concerned about the frontline affairs.

"Your Majesty, it's just spring now. The Liaodong side shouldn't be the time to start a war? Did the Qing Dynasty actually fail to use troops at this time? I wonder what the war is going on now?"

Zhuang Yan was in charge of the General Staff and was the first to ask. Ma Gongcheng also frowned and asked: "It was quite strange that the Qing Dynasty was moving troops at this time. Could it be that the Duke of Wei was too oppressed and the Qing Dynasty could not stand it?"

Pan Mengyuan asked with concern: "I wonder how Duke Wei is responding now? What is the situation in Liaodong now? Please tell me."

"Haha, the situation is not as you imagined." Zhu Yicheng waved his hand and told them to rest as he was a little restless. Then he said: "The Qing Dynasty was not going to start a war, on the contrary, Duke Wei urgently reported that the Qing Dynasty had abandoned Liaodong..."

"What!"

Everyone was shocked at the same time. Except for Jiang Jin, Zhang Ran and Deng Bing, the others were worried that they would hear it wrong for a while.

The Qing Dynasty abandoned Liao? How is this possible? Everyone knows the significance of Liaodong to the Qing Dynasty. You must know that Liaodong is the old nest of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty rose from Liaodong and then grew stronger step by step and won the world.

After the revival of the Ming Dynasty, after experiencing the Battle of the Central Plains and the Battle of the Southwest, the Qing Dynasty had completely driven out of the Central Plains. After escaping from the Central Plains, the Qing Dynasty was divided into three parts, one was naturally the Qing court in the northwest, and the other was Prince Yi in Liaodong.

In addition to these two parts, it is Ortai's power in Mongolia. Of course, Ortai has officially broken away from the Qing Dynasty and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

The northwest and northeastern areas can be said to be the only two remaining forces of the Qing Dynasty. These two forces are not easy to solve. If it can be decided by a battle, it will not be delayed until now. You should know that the Duke of Wei, Dong Dashan, who led the troops in the northeast, was the first general of the Ming Dynasty. In order to completely pacify Liaodong, everyone is familiar with the tactics that Dong Dashan adopted, and this tactic was also recognized by Zhu Yicheng.

The court was very clear about the strategic deployment of the remnants of the Qing Dynasty, that is, to solve Liaodong first and then solve the northwest. As Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, it is necessary to adopt the current tactics to strangle the Qing Dynasty forces step by step, thereby completely pacifying Liaodong.

But now, as this strategic deployment is about to be successful, the Qing Dynasty's living space in Liaodong is getting smaller and smaller, and it is probably about to be destroyed, the Qing Dynasty actually took the initiative to abandon Liao first? This is really surprising.

"Abandon Liao? Could it be that the fake Prince Yi surrendered to Weiguo Duke?" Sun Jiagan couldn't help asking in surprise.

His question made some people feel that this might be possible. If this is the case, the Qing Dynasty did give up resistance and surrender directly. So, the Liaodong war had already quelled? Could the Ming Dynasty have completely recovered Liaodong?

Who would have thought that just when everyone was about to be happy, Zhu Yicheng gave a negative answer and told everyone the news that Dong Dashan sent urgently.

It turned out that just not long ago, Dong Dashan suddenly discovered that the Qing Dynasty in the north had some abnormal movements. At first, he thought that the Qing Dynasty was forced to the limit due to the Ming army's step-by-step strangle tactics. Now the Qing Dynasty not only lacks food, but also has extremely low morale. He is afraid that he would have to take advantage of the situation that it has not yet completely collapsed.

To this end, Dong Dashan quickly mobilized his army to prevent the Qing Dynasty's military operations to attack south. At the same time, he made plans to take advantage of the situation to go north after repelling the opponent's attack, and completely annihilate the opponent's main force in one fell swoop to end the battle situation in Liaodong.

But who would have thought that after Dong Dashan's troops were mobilized, he did not find that the Qing Dynasty was going south to attack. He was confused and hurriedly sent people to figure out what the Qing Dynasty in the north was going to do. When the news finally came, Dong Dashan then understood Prince Yi's real purpose. He was shocked and rushed to send the information to the capital.

It turned out that the Qing Dynasty in the north actually abandoned Liao and left, and this result was simply surprising.

More importantly, Prince Yi was also cruel enough. He did not take all his military and civilians away, but only took away his main force and some of the other Eight Banners troops, with a total of about 60,000 people. As for the other hundreds of thousands of military and civilians, they were all abandoned in Liaodong and ignored them.

Now, the Qing soldiers and civilians who were abandoned in Liaodong have sent people to surrender directly to Dong Dashan, and Prince Yi, who had his tail cut off to survive, took this opportunity to lead his troops directly to the west and penetrated into the Mongolian territory.

According to Dong Dashan's judgment, Prince Yi's move was also a helpless move. He used this method not only to allow hundreds of thousands of Qing military and civilians to restrain Dong Dashan's troops in Liaodong, but also directly fought a time difference to escape. If Dong Dashan's judgment was correct, Prince Yi's main force would join forces with the Korqin troops in Mongolia, and then plan for other things.

It is of great importance, Dong Dashan could only ask the court for help and inform Zhu Yicheng of the news as soon as possible. This is also the reason why Zhu Yicheng summoned them and other important officials immediately after receiving the news.

"What a ruthless move! What a prince Yi!"

Ma Gongcheng couldn't help but shout, as a general who led the army, of course he knew the reason why Ci was not in charge of the army, but he never expected that Prince Yi could do this.

He directly discarded hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Liaodong like garbage, and ignored their lives and deaths. He took his main force and food to Mongolia. Prince Yi not to mention the ability to fight wars. This alone is not something that ordinary people can do.

Not only Ma Gongcheng, but the other people present also had the same idea. Moreover, Prince Yi’s song now has brought uncertain changes to the situation that was originally under control, which surprised the Ming Dynasty.

"There was a strange movement in Korqin before. Yue Zhongqi had already passed the air with Ortai to let him pay attention to the Korqin tribe and had plans to send troops. Now the main force of the Qing Dynasty entered Mongolia and agreed to join Korqin. How did Yue Zhongqi and Mongolia react like that?" Pan Mengyuan considered the problem more comprehensively and immediately asked.

Zhuang Yan was more clear about this matter and immediately explained: "The plan for Korqin's military dispatch was originally planned to be carried out in two or three months. The current preparations have not been perfected. In addition, I didn't expect such a thing to happen at that time. Now that the pseudo-Prince Yi has led his troops into Mongolia, the plan before the two armies merge will have to be adjusted, and it may take some time."

"Just adjust it. Since the Qing Dynasty has abandoned Liao, then the troops from Duke of Wei can be withdrawn, and Liaodong will turn around and attack Mongolia directly." Wang Jingqi interrupted.

"Mr. Wang is thinking too simple." Zeng Yishu, who had not spoken, shook his head and said, "Although the Qing Dynasty abandoned Liao, don't forget that there are hundreds of thousands of Qing soldiers and civilians who surrendered to Duke Wei in Liaodong. In addition, the Wild Jurchen tribe in northern Liaodong, Duke Wei cannot escape at all. Once he turns to attack Mongolia, will he let these Manchus ignore it? If this happens, then the Manchus in the north will riot, and the situation in Liaodong will be difficult to deal with."

"This is not difficult, just suppressing it." He Xianzu downplayed: "These mankind are abandoned, so how can they do anything else? If you really have a different intention, it will be very easy to solve it completely."

He Xianzu's words made many people frown slightly. His subtle intention was very clear, that was to force pressure, and even massacre when necessary.

In He Xianzu's opinion, if these abandoned sons are tactful, that's fine. If you really want to make trouble, just chop your head. If one head is not enough, two, and two are not enough, four. So what if you kill all these hundreds of thousands of people? Can you only have to enter the pass and kill the Han people, and then the Han people can't slaughter the Manchus now?
