Chapter 333 Battle between Song and Jin
As soon as these words came out, all the generals who came forward also yelled and cursed.

Yes, our Ming Dynasty just doesn’t do human affairs.

The Nanjing City Wall cost a huge amount of money and food to build.

As a result, our Ming Dynasty didn't use it. When Duduo went south, Nanjing City opened on its own.

Our Qing Dynasty did use it. Both Zheng Chenggong and Sun Kewang were blocked by the Nanjing City Wall.

Historically, Zheng Chenggong fell directly here.

Our Ming Dynasty perished on the walls of Nanjing.

If Zhu Yuanzhang had not built the city wall, he would have learned from Ying Zheng's mind.

In history, after the great victory at Zhenjiang, didn't he directly enter Nanjing? Is there any hope for the revival of the Ming Dynasty?

The Nanjing City Wall is like this, and the Guanning Defense Line is like this.

The Guanning line of defense could not prevent the Manchus from entering and looting, and finally Wu Sangui turned the switch on and let the Manchus in directly.

But now Zhang Sheng and the others are blocked by the Manchu Qing Dynasty using our Ming Dynasty's Guan Ning defense line.

How great is this!
"Damn it, it seems like you can't enter the pass. From Jinzhou to the south, it's a fortress."

"If I beat them one by one, everyone will die!" Zhang Sheng cursed.

"Master, let's just station ourselves in the Yizhou area to prevent the Manchus from leaving the border and taking back Liaodong."

Liang Cheng said: "As long as we stay in Liaodong, the Qing Dynasty will have nowhere to run."

"When the ruler of the country ascends the throne and leads a million-strong army in the Northern Expedition, if the Manchu Tatars like to enter the pass, then let them all die in the pass."

"That's all we can do now. Without the red-coated cannon, the Guanning defense line cannot be penetrated at all."

"Since the Tatars like the pass, let them all stay in the pass and never come back." Zhang Sheng sighed.

That's it, after pulling out a few small forts, Zhang Sheng's gang settled near Jinzhou.

However, for a while, a fleet with flying flags appeared in the western Liaoning area.

"Master, what a happy event! What a happy event! What a happy event!"

Zhang Chengen happily ran into Zhang Sheng's camp.

"What's the happy event?" Zhang Sheng asked casually.

However, Zhang Chengen's next words made him suddenly change his expression.

"Brothers found a large number of ships by the river. It's the king's reinforcements that have arrived!" Zhang Chengen said quickly.

"What!" Zhang Sheng was shocked.

"Quick! Follow me to greet you!"

He was overjoyed and said quickly.

Donghai Fort in western Liaoning.

Ships of supplies were unloaded, and red-coated cannons were disembarked.

"I will finally see you, sir!" Yuan Taoan and Feng Tianyu saluted.

"Haha, the two brothers came at the right time!"

Zhang Sheng looked at the red cannons with eyes shining and said: "With the help of the forward and Huben towns, it will be easy for me to capture Jinzhou!"

Reinforcements were quickly received, and Zhang Sheng's troops, with great morale, began to cross the Daling River and encircle Jinzhou.

The second Songjin Rebellion officially started.

Kurn shrank his troops and defended Jinzhou, Rufeng Mountain, Songshan, Xingshan, Tashan and other places.

Faced with the rolling incoming Zhang Sheng's army, they were on guard and defensive.

At the same time, we sent people 800 miles away to report to Beijing and ask the Qing Dynasty to organize reinforcements to relieve the siege of Jinzhou.

After receiving Kurn's urgent report, the Manchu and Qing court were in a state of panic.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, war has rekindled in Jinzhou." The veteran Ye Bilong said dejectedly.

Not only Songjin, but now Shenyang, Liaoyang, Guangning, and Dalinghe have been captured by Zhang Sheng.

In just two months, our Qing Dynasty lost the territory that our Ming Dynasty took several years to lose.

"The Ai family is very upset right now. You all tell me where the Qing Dynasty should go next?" Xiaozhuang sighed.

In just a few months, Beijing's danger has been temporarily lifted.

But our Qing Dynasty lost our hometown outside the customs.

It’s not just my hometown outside the customs, and it’s not just the imperial mausoleum of Taizu Taizong.

Even the hearts of the world and the Qing Dynasty have been lost!

"The Empress Dowager, for the present plan, we can only do our best to regain Liaodong."

"If we hesitate any longer, I am afraid that our Qing Dynasty will not even have a way out. Once the Sun traitors send their troops from the south to the north, our Qing Dynasty will perish in Beijing!" Fan Wencheng, an old minister, said.

"Yes, Liaodong is the land of Longxing in our Qing Dynasty. If we cannot recover it, the consequences will be disastrous." Ning Wanwo also spoke.

Now our Qing Dynasty is in turmoil.

Not only the veterans and generals were killed and injured, but even the great achievements of the auxiliary government were withered.

It turns out that there are four people available in the court: Aobai, Suksaha, Sony, and Ebilong.

But now, when Sony went to Guangxi to canonize Sun Kewang, he was shot to death by Sun Kewang in the name of hunting.

Ao Bai was resisting Wu Sangui in Shaanxi and Gansu.

Suksaha led troops to support.

In such a large court, only one person, Yi Bilong, was left to support the crisis.

Xiaozhuang had no choice but to pull out two old guys, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo, to use them.

Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan are both over sixty now, and they were already retired at home.

But we, the Qing Dynasty, have no choice.

As long as the person is not dead, let's use it first.

Otherwise there would really be no one available.

"Do you all agree to counterattack Liaodong?" Xiaozhuang looked at the courtiers and asked.

"The Empress Dowager, Liaodong is the hometown of our Manchus. If our hometown is lost, why not take it back?" the fifteen-year-old Prince Kang Jieshu said.

Xiaozhuang looked at the old and young in front of him, feeling sad.

Fan Wencheng is sixty-three and Jieshu is ten and five.

Our Qing Dynasty has so many old people and so many young people now that we can only let people like Fan Wencheng and Jieshu hold on to the situation.

Can the Qing Dynasty be saved?
"You all say you want to counterattack Liaodong, but how will the Qing Dynasty counterattack Liaodong now?"

Xiaozhuang sighed and said: "Now Wu Sangui is swallowing Shaanxi and Gansu, Sun Ke is expected to occupy the southern provinces, and Zhang Sheng is showing off his evil outside the pass. He has occupied the Longxing land of the Qing Dynasty and has come to Jinzhou."

"There is also Li Laiheng dormant in Jingxiang, eyeing Henan."

"The soldiers and horses of our Qing Dynasty are everywhere to meet the enemy, and the elites of Dunbai and the Eight Banners outside the Pass have been destroyed in Liaodong."

"We, the Qing Dynasty, are counterattacking Liaodong, but where are the troops and horses coming from!"

As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers lowered their heads.

Now our Qing Dynasty has even used the coated army, but even so, the number of troops is still seriously insufficient.

The troops and horses in the pass are not enough to protect themselves. How can there be extra troops and horses to counterattack Liaodong?

"The Empress Dowager, having said that, if I, the Qing Dynasty, cannot take back Liaodong."

"When Sun Ke is expected to raise his troops for the Northern Expedition, then we, the Qing Dynasty, will have no way to retreat in the pass." Fan Wencheng said seriously.

As soon as this statement came out, all the Manchu nobles changed their expressions.

Yes, Sun Kewang's main force in the south has been silent for several months.

In the current situation, Sun Kewang's main force has not yet taken action, and the Qing Dynasty is a little unable to withstand it.

If he, a Western thief, raises his troops for the Northern Expedition, what will the Qing Dynasty do? "The Empress Dowager, although we, the Qing Dynasty, have tried our best, we, the Qing Dynasty, can no longer stand in the pass."

"For the current plan, we must cut off the tail to survive and gather the strength of the whole country to regain Liaodong."

"Then the population will be relocated, the soldiers and armor will be reorganized, and they will recuperate outside the customs."

"Sit back and watch Sun Kewang, Wu Sangui, Li Laiheng, Zheng Chenggong and others fighting in the pass."

"This way we can have hope for the Qing Dynasty." Ning Wanwo also spoke, already thinking of retreating.

"A few months ago, the opinions of veterans like you were to let me keep the Qing Dynasty in the pass."

"But now, is it possible that our Qing Dynasty really can't hold on in the pass?" Xiaozhuang said with red eyes.

By now, all the veterans have changed their attitudes.

Since the fall of Liaodong, everyone in the Qing Dynasty finally unanimously thought of the benefits of Liaodong.

This damn thing doesn’t even exist in my hometown. If I don’t run away, I won’t have a chance to run away!
"The Empress Dowager, a few months ago, our Qing Dynasty still had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the northern provinces."

"In this case, we can naturally gain a foothold within the customs."

"But now, Zhang Sheng's robbery in Beizhi has seriously damaged my Qing Dynasty energy."

"Now he has swept across the grassland and occupied Liaodong."

"If we don't take advantage of the fact that the thieves have a weak foothold in Liaodong, I'm afraid that the land outside the pass will never be owned by the Qing Dynasty!" Fan Wencheng said solemnly.

Originally, after the autumn harvest last year, our Qing Dynasty had the ambition to train another 100,000 new troops.

Collect 300,000 armored men and plan another large-scale operation in the pass.

But with Zhang Sheng's Northern Expedition, all this came to nothing.

The four provinces of Shanhe and Shanhe were destroyed by Zhang Sheng, and the training of 100,000 recruits was out of the question.

Only Ao Bai tried his best in Shaanxi and Gansu to recruit more than 20,000 soldiers.

In addition, more than 10,000 new troops were gathered in Shanxi, Xuanfu, and Datong.

In such a situation, facing Sun Kewang's upcoming Northern Expedition, our Qing Dynasty will have no chance.

So now Fan Wencheng and others can only face reality and abandon all illusions.

We are preparing to recover Liaodong and let the Qing Dynasty survive.

"I want to go back to Liaodong, but Liaodong no longer belongs to the Qing Dynasty."

"If we, the Qing Dynasty, raise our troops to counterattack and regain the land of Longxing, how should we deploy our troops and generals?" Xiaozhuang spoke again, asking all his ministers.

"This..." All the ministers were speechless.

Given the current situation in the Qing Dynasty, how can we assemble a force capable of restoring Liaodong?
"The Empress Dowager, there are still 15,000 new soldiers in Shanxi and other places, and they are barely available now."

"If we deploy this army and horses, we will attach five thousand elite soldiers from the Green Camp and two thousand elite soldiers from the Eight Banners."

"It can organize an army of more than 20,000 people."

"After this army and Kurn's 20,000 soldiers and horses join forces in Songjin, the total strength of the entire army will reach more than 40,000. It should be possible to defeat Zhang Sheng and recapture Liaodong." E Bilong calculated.

Our Qing Dynasty's 100,000 new troops have been trained since last autumn.

Except for the more than 20,000 people that Ao Bai expanded in Shaanxi and Gansu, there are only a few people left.

"Now Zhang Sheng is besieging Jinzhou, and his men are all Mongolian soldiers and servants coated with wolfish ambitions."

"Facing his 100,000 rabble, Dunbai's thousands of elite troops were completely lost in one battle."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for a mere 40,000 soldiers and horses to regain the Longxing land of our Qing Dynasty." Xiaozhuang said again.

I don’t know when this thief Zhang Sheng became a serious problem for our Qing Dynasty.

This bandit first penetrated Shandong, and then killed Jidu in the Beizhi Formation.

Although under the command of Yue Le, one hundred thousand Qing troops formed a stronghold and fought in vain.

Successfully destroyed Sun Kewang's Longxiang Town in the first battle in Texas.

However, Zhang Sheng refused to admit defeat and went to the grassland to burn, kill, loot and coerce and bribe.

Then he went south to Liaodong and annihilated the elite Eight Banners outside the Pass in Dunbai.

They dug up the imperial tombs of the Qing Dynasty and occupied the Longxing land of the Qing Dynasty.

Seeing Zhang Sheng's performance, he sent a mere 40,000 troops to meet the enemy.

Xiaozhuang is really worried!
"What the Empress Dowager said is absolutely true. Zhang Sheng's troops are all elite cavalry, and now he is assisted by a large number of Mongolian cavalry."

"We, the Qing Dynasty, want to defeat the enemy in the field, except for an elite cavalry capable of suppressing him."

"Otherwise, there will be disaster!" Fan Wencheng spoke slowly and hit the nail on the head.

What was the reason why Zhang Sheng was able to be so ruthless in Beizhi, on the grasslands, and in Liaodong?
Aren't you the elite knights under your command?
If the Qing Dynasty could suppress his cavalry, why would the situation be like this!

Now if you want to defeat the enemy in the field and recapture Liaodong, you must have cavalry!
As soon as these words came out, all the Manchu nobles fell into deep thought.

Once upon a time, our Qing cavalry was so powerful that it far surpassed that of the Han people.

It is a pity that since Sun Kewang raised his troops, the Manchu cavalry, which once numbered more than 100,000, has withered away.

Just in the southwest, our Qing Dynasty's tens of thousands of cavalry were destroyed.

Only less than ten thousand people can return.

Then in Zhenjiang, Nanjing, Wuchang and other places, our Qing Dynasty suffered repeated defeats.

In Zhenjiang alone, there were four thousand cavalry.

In Wuchang, thousands of cavalrymen were trapped alive by Western bandits.

Wu Sangui rebelled, and the noble Green Camp responded.

The nearly 20,000 cavalrymen who originally belonged to the Qing Dynasty all gathered under Wu Sangui.

After Zhang Sheng's Northern Expedition, Jidu sent a wave of valuable Qing cavalry directly to the north.

Now, Dunbai's 4,000 cavalry outside the pass and the Horqin tribe's 6,000 Mongolian casual cavalry have all been lost outside the pass.

All this, after a series of losses.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty now has no cavalry left in its hands!

Just like under the leadership of Huang Taiji, the Manchu artillery overtook the Ming Dynasty.

Under the leadership of Sun Kewang, the Han cavalry has surpassed that of the Qing Dynasty!

After carefully calculating the current strength of the Qing Dynasty, Fan Wencheng gritted his teeth and said: "The Queen Mother wants to suppress Zhang Sheng in terms of cavalry strength, and then defeat the enemy in the field and recapture Liaodong."

"We can only mobilize Ao Shaobao's Shaanxi-Gansu Army Corps to go north!"

"There are still many cavalry in the army under Ao Shaobao. If this army can be put into the Liaodong battlefield."

"Then defeating Zhang Sheng is as easy as flipping a blow!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiaozhuang and others' expressions immediately changed.

"Have we really reached the point where we have to abandon Shaanxi and Gansu and transfer Aobai to Liaodong?" Xiaozhuang gritted his teeth.

The Shaanxi-Gansu Army Corps under Ao Bai cannot be taken lightly.

If it is adjusted, it will make it clear that the Qing Dynasty will give up Shaanxi and Gansu and then give up the world.

As a result, the Han people in the Shaanxi-Gansu Army must rise up and stir up rebellion against the Qing Dynasty!

I'm afraid that once Ao Bai is sent north, his troops will be dispersed along the way.

By the time we got to Beijing, there were not many Han Chinese left!

"The Queen Mother, without cavalry, there is no way to defeat the thieves."

"No matter what, we must withdraw at least 10,000 elite cavalry from Guanzhong so that we, the Qing Dynasty, can defeat the enemy in the field, defeat Zhang Sheng, and recapture Liaodong!" Fan Wencheng said firmly.

"Ten thousand fine knights!" Xiaozhuang took a breath.

If this power is mobilized, can Obai still survive in Shaanxi and Gansu?
