Chapter 135 Sharpening the knife

Wu Sangui's intensity did not have any unexpected situation in the Yellow River.

Lao Wu, who had just become the first living king of a different surname in the history of the Ming Dynasty, was in an excited state at this time. Even without the emperor's imperial edict, he would have to cross the Yellow River to repay the emperor's grace. His hundreds of thousands of soldiers who had taken down thousands of miles of territory from east Ji, were also in a state of morale, and a Yellow River could not stop them. Then they forced the Yellow River to cross the Yellow River at Liuyuankou, and used mortar cannons and flowering bullets to repel Li Guo's army, and then successfully surrounded Kaifeng. After the five powerful generals were transported across the Yellow River, all Li Guo's efforts were meaningless.

After a volley of artillery fires from the five powerful generals, the Shun army, who was guarding the city, abandoned the city and fled.

"Uh, this is not difficult to fight!"

Yang Feng said speechlessly.

In fact, Li Zicheng had 50,000 Li Guo troops in Henan. Before, Dorgon was from the north of the Yellow River. Yang Feng stabbed him behind Dorgon, so it was impossible to go south. Since this was the case, why did he stay too many troops in Henan? He was willing, but the generals under him were not willing. Henan was so poor that they had snatched countless times. The rats burst into tears. There was a flower world in Jiangnan to snatch. Who would like to stay in such a place? In other words, Li Guo had a special relationship with him and would take into account the overall situation. The remaining generals whose eyes were staring at the south were green. How could they stay in Henan?

After all, Li Zicheng is just an alliance gathered under the banner of the local tyrants. It is still a long distance away from the real regime. In many things, Li Zicheng actually doesn't count. Even if Li Guo's subordinates have less than 10,000 real elites, and the rest are all just a mess of mobs. If such a guy encounters the giant flowering bullet, it would be a miracle if he runs away!

"Your Majesty, will you continue to attack?"

Li Yutian asked.

"Be careful, and send an order to King Guangling to temporarily garrison Kaifeng first. The soldiers are tired of fighting for a long time, so it's time to take a break."

Yang Feng said.

He crossed the Yellow River just told Li Zicheng not to move forward, but to really restore Henan, this is not within his option. At least he doesn't have this idea this year. He must concentrate on dealing with the large-scale chaos that will inevitably occur in the autumn harvest season this year. It will be a mess. He must keep the chaos within an acceptable range. Before this level has passed, he will not continue to expand southward, and dealing with opponents like Li Zicheng cannot be the same as dealing with Dorgon. The rebellious poor people in the former's hands can not be killed or tried not to kill. After all, they are just a group of hungry people struggling to survive. It is completely a sin caused by the court itself.

So it is best to deal with them.

As long as he can handle the land in Hebei, let the people divide the land, and then promote the immortal species, so that the people can see the hope of having enough food and clothing, it can be said that the vast majority of Shun Army soldiers will turn against each other like the green camp. After all, it is never a military issue for guys like Li Zicheng.

"What's the situation with Dorgon?"

He asked immediately afterwards.

"Governor Du's report said that Jiannu soldiers had already begun to surrender. According to their confessions, Dorgon was depressed and no longer cared about the matter. Geng Zhongming committed suicide the day before yesterday, and other Jiannu officers and soldiers committed suicide every day. According to Governor Du, it would be almost the same for another two months."

Li Yutian said.

"Then keep surrounding!"

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

"Where is the other side of Liaoyang?"

He asked immediately.

"Governor Tang in Liaoyang reported that according to the rising balloon reconnaissance, there was not much chaos in the city. There should be enough food storage support. However, this is a matter of time. All the walls on the periphery have been built. If they cannot die this year, they will be the same next year. Anyway, they rely on the city's food storage and food storage. If they can last for two years, they will not be able to survive the third year. There are all our villages around. Not to mention the 50,000 defenders, the number of people rescued from the Tatars and immigrants returning from Shandong has exceeded 300,000, and even the bannermen in the city cannot run out."

Li Yutian said.

Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction.

"We also send people to Xiaoyu and let them know that as long as they are purged, they can surrender to the court. We don't have to kill them all, nor do we leave them a way out."

Then he said.

If Jiannu in Liaoyang City is included, then there will be enough manpower to start construction of the Great Pyramid.

"Uh, your Majesty is kind!"

Shoufu Li said quickly.

"Where is that Hauge?"

Yang Feng asked again immediately.

"Haoge has given up the defense of Tieling and Kaiyuan, and then retreated all the bannermen to the mountainous areas. However, Governor Huang reported that Jiannu and North Korea fought a war in Yizhou. The Koreans wanted to retake Yizhou, but were defeated by Jiannu."

Li Yutian said.

"Uh, there is something like this?"

Yang Feng's eyes lit up immediately.

In fact, this is not surprising. The Li family was beaten twice by Huang Taiji. It can be said that the hatred was deep and the sea was like the sea. Before, the Qing Dynasty was not able to resist and could only be a minister. However, at this time, the early Qing Dynasty was no longer the same as before. It would be abnormal for the Li family to take the opportunity to take revenge. Although the Qing army withdrew from North Korea, it had always controlled Yizhou, the bridgehead of the Yalu River. Of course, the Li family wanted to resist and regained Yizhou first. As for being defeated in a crushing defeat...

Well, it would be a miracle if they didn’t lose a crushing defeat!

Although Haoge's tiger falls into Pingyang, it is not something that they can bully. Needless to say, Haoge's men can piece together 10,000 soldiers. If there are 10,000 Eight Banners, they will probably be able to defeat the Korean army, even if they fight to Seoul, if they do that, then...

"The order was sent to Tang Yu. Since the situation in Liaoyang has stabilized, there is no need to continue to maintain the 50,000 army. Transfer two towns to withdraw them into the pass!"

Yang Feng said.

"The minister respects the order."

Shou Sui said hurriedly.

He knew very well that the emperor had another target of the disaster. The withdrawal of 20,000 in the Ming army would not have any impact on the siege of Liaoyang. In fact, the main force of the siege of Liaoyang was the people around who were originally Baoyi and slaves. They could all take up weapons to join the war. Moreover, the walls around Liaoyang were built, and the cannons were all facing the city gate. The bannermen in Liaoyang City were old, weak, sick and disabled, who were unable to break through, but if only 30,000 Ming troops were left, they would also not be able to attack Hetuala again. This was actually relaxing the oppression of Haoge and allowing him to focus on dealing with the Li family.

Although I don’t know why the emperor wants to cheat the Li family, since he likes it, just cheat.

By the way, the Li family has not come to pay tribute to this day.

"By the way, why haven't the Li family come to pay tribute yet?"

Yang Feng said.

It was obvious that he also discovered this problem. According to the principle, the Li family had automatically escaped from the clutches of the Qing army, so there would be no problem for them to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty again, but it would be a bit strange that the Li family had not come yet.

"Do you want Lin Qingye to urge him?"

Li Yutian said.

"No, it depends on them!"

Yang Feng said.

Since this is the case, Shoufu Li won’t say much.

"How is the situation in Mongolian tribes?"

Then the emperor asked again.

"Abnay, the leader of the Chahar tribe, requested to surrender to the court and was willing to bring a cavalry to participate in the siege of Dorgon. Previously, in order to obtain supplies, Dorgon slaughtered two tribes under his jurisdiction and killed thousands of them. At present, the Chahar tribe hates Dorgon's righteous teeth, and many other Mongolian tribes have requested surrender."

Li Yutian said.

"They are all smart people."

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

The choice of Mongolian tribes is normal. They were all beaten down by the Qing Dynasty. Now the Qing Dynasty was beaten down by Yang Feng, and there were examples of Yang Feng slaughtering the Korqin tribe before. At this time, they chose to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, it was nothing more than changing a tablet to worship it on their heads. At least in the short term, there would be no one to compete with the grassland outside the border.

"Since this is the case, then they will meet their requirements. Change their names and re-give them according to the titles that Jiannu had previously granted them. If you are dissatisfied, you can ask me. I can also give them a few more. However, they must strictly abide by the system of demarcating pastoral areas and not allow cross-border troubles. In addition, the courtesy of mainland merchants to come to them must be guaranteed. In addition, I respect Buddhism. In the future, every Mongolian ministries must build their own temples, and every household must have someone to worship Buddha. Of course, if more people are willing, I will also be very encouraged. In the future, if more people worship Buddha, I will also be rewarded. In fact, half of the men in each family worship Buddha, which should be the best way for them to express their piety."

Yang Feng said.

Shoufu Li nodded in a muffled manner.

He found that the emperor's nonsense skills were getting stronger and stronger, and he respected Buddhism. He didn't know who had just started a massacre at the monks on the battlefield.

To deal with Mongolian tribes, we need to learn from the Jiannu, and some of their experiences are still very desirable. After all, these experiences have been tested by practice. In addition, if there are more small creatures that are invisible to the naked eye in the future, this problem will be basically solved. Anyway, the people in the short term have no need to immigrate to the grassland, so let's talk about it like this first. Besides, even if the Han people want to open up living space, there is no need to go to the grassland. Overseas colonization is the king. As for the Mongolian grassland, try to make it desolate. Otherwise, Yang Feng would not want to eat sand from Inner Mongolia in Beijing every year. In fact, at this time, Beijing had already begun to endure the baptism of sandstorms.
