I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 325 Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Yongzheng ran away, but he also paid a heavy price.

The 15-strong army went south, and now, less than a third of it remains.

All the Han military flags were folded on the banks of the Yellow River, and the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners also lost a lot.

Zhang Tingyu said: "Your Majesty, with the current situation, we should return to Beijing immediately to bring order to the chaos. We in the Qing Dynasty still have Zhili, Guanwai, and Monan tribes, so it is not completely impossible."

Jiang Tingxi also said: "I think so. We must immediately defeat the puppet Ming army on the other side of the river. It should be too late to return to Beijing at this time!"

Zhang Wenhuan didn't say anything. As a military general, he understood better than these civilian officials that with just a few troops, he could defeat the Ming army across the river.

With this delay, can I still fight back to Beijing after returning to Beijing?

Even if it is captured and the Ming army in the south does not pursue it, the Manchu Qing's future is already worrying.

"..."

Yongzheng was silent for a moment and said: "Pass my order and the army will march westward immediately!"

Going west?Not crossing the river?

"emperor……"

Yong Zheng waved his hand and said: "I can't go back to Beijing. Even if I go back, the puppet emperor of Nanming will not let go of this opportunity to pursue and fight fiercely. Is it possible that I have to retreat outside the country?"

"Emperor calm down!"

Both civil and military officials knelt down.

Yongzheng said: "I am not going my own way and giving up on myself. Now that we are marching westward to Shaanxi, our Qing Dynasty has strong troops in the northwest and Sichuan is rich in wealth. It may be possible to repeat what the First Emperor did in the past!"

"Emperor Shengming!"

Wenwu Mountain calls.

Regardless of the true saint or the false saint, the westward strategy was finalized by Yongzheng against all opinions.

The army took warships and sailed up the Yellow River.

Yang Gong, who was surrounded along the river bank, jumped into the air.

The Qing army retreated westward along the Yellow River. Although the Yellow River was turbulent, the turbulence also meant that the Ming army was unable to pursue it immediately.

Fully [-] Manchu troops from the northwest were able to escape safely to Henan (Luoyang).

At this time, there was no news of the Qing army's defeat in Henan. Yongzheng quickly searched for supplies and fled westward by boat.

Pass through Shaanzhou (Sanmenxia), pass Fenglingdu, and arrive at Tongguanting (Tongguan).

Then he fled along the Wei River to Xi'an.

……

As Yongzheng fled across the river, the Ming army's follow-up troops arrived in Kaifeng.

Tian Wenjing, the governor of Henan, ran away with Yongzheng. Sun Lanfen, the prefect of Kaifeng, saw the Ming army arriving and immediately defected.

The remaining counties in Kaifeng Prefecture, Lanyang (Lankao), Tongxu, Weishi, and Zhengzhou, all sent messages one after another to decide.

As the news of the Qing army's defeat spread further, the prefectures of Chenzhou (Huaiyang), Guangzhou (Huangchuan), Xuzhou (Xuchang), and Runing (Runan) all surrendered.

In most areas south of the Yellow River, everyone is shouting for long live the Ming Emperor.

It is only a matter of time before the remaining state capitals surrender.

To the north of the Yellow River, after Yang Gong received the military order delivered by the emperor across the river, he also began to prepare to recover Huaiqing (Qinyang), Weihui (Jixian), Zhangde (Anyang), and Daming Prefecture in Zhili.

"Your Majesty, there is a message from the Puppet Qing Dynasty in Beijing!"

Zhu Yijiong took the letter and read it carefully, her expression suddenly became subtle.

"Xuan Tong?"

The Manchu Qing Dynasty actually split?
And it is believed that the newspaper said that it was still a father-son situation, and Yongzheng's son, the future Qianlong, actually killed his father.

Moreover, the year he gave himself was still Xuantong, which... was too unlucky.

After reading it several times, according to the detailed explanations sent, it seems that the person who is really in power is not the pseudo-Qing emperor Xuantong, but the current regent Yinhu, one of the "eight virtuous kings" of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty who once had hopes of ascending to the throne.

It has to be said that Yinhu's move is indeed powerful. Instead of proclaiming himself emperor, he is leaving room to fight for political justice.

After all, the legal system of Emperor Qianlong... Emperor Xuantong was legal. Not only did he have the support of the princes of the Eight Banners, but Yongzheng also left an edict to establish the crown prince.And the reasons given are also very sufficient. Yongzheng was defeated again and again. How could such a "foolish emperor" lead the Qing Dynasty?

Did you take the script of Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

"Reward this meticulous work generously and let him continue to collect information from the Puppet Qing Dynasty!"

……

Shandong.

Jueluo Manbao is already in a difficult position. Just a few days ago, he received an edict from the new emperor in Beijing, which named him Crown Prince, Taibao and General Manager of Shandong.

Strictly speaking, Jueluo Manbao was considered a member of Yongzheng.

After all, Kangxi demoted Jueluo Manbao to a commoner, but it was Yongzheng who revived him after he ascended the throne and continued to increase his official position.

But the problem is that now the new emperor in Beijing has also given him promotions, and they keep adding them to the top.

How does this make him choose?
No matter what he chooses, Fan Yongzheng knows that even if he doesn't die, he will be completely marginalized.

What's more, Yongzheng has long since disappeared, but there are a lot of rumors saying that the Qing army in Henan was defeated, and even the emperor died on the battlefield, and the Qing army was completely annihilated.

Jueluo Manbao will definitely not believe everything, but after a little screening, he can also conclude that the war situation in Henan is really not good.

Those who received the imperial edict were not only Jueluo Manbao, the actual commander of the army, but also Chen Shiguan, the governor of Shandong, and Li Wei, the governor of Zhili, also received the imperial edict.

Li Wei hadn't responded yet, and Chen Shiguan was already panicking.

Chen Shiguan and the former Chen Yuanlong were uncle-nephew. Historically, they both became bachelors of Wenyuan Pavilion, and they were both widely said to be Qianlong's Han biological father, Haining Chen Ge.

"Boom boom boom!"

The Ming army's artillery continuously bombarded the city wall of Tai'an Mansion, and the tall city wall shook violently under the artillery bombardment.

Although the defenders on the top of the city did not immediately disperse, they were basically non-existent. They all huddled behind the parapet and did not dare to show their heads.

Occasionally, there would be one or two unlucky people who were accidentally hit by the Ming army's heavy artillery shells on the parapet wall, and were killed on the spot.

The Ming army that attacked the city actually numbered only 8000, which was Yu Kecheng's only remaining force.He also transferred [-] reinforcements to Henan, led by a deputy general to support the First Army.

Now these 8000 soldiers are still drawn from Yanzhou and Jining. The total number of Ming army guards in the two places is only more than 2000, which can be said to be extremely empty.

Even so, the Qing army in Tai'an Prefecture did not dare to go out of the city to fight.

Jueluo Manbao of Jinan Prefecture has [-] troops and has no intention of going south to support him.

After only three days of continuous bombardment, the defenders of Tai'an Prefecture could no longer hold on, and the people of Tai'an Prefecture, led by the gentry, revolted and seized the gate.

The Ming army didn't even use city-breaking artillery, so they were forced to cooperate internally and externally and captured Tai'an Fucheng.

While Tai'an Prefecture was easily and completely captured by Yu Kecheng, Zhou Haizhong also led the Fifth Army to the east and successively captured the three prefectures of Qingzhou (Yidu), Laizhou (Yexian), and Dengzhou (Penglai).

These three mansions are located in the Shandong Plain, with a vast plain and no danger to defend.

As soon as the Ming army arrived, they immediately watched the wind and descended.

So far, all the southern part of Shandong has been lost, and only a corner of Jinan, Dongchang, Wuding and Linqing is still in the hands of the Manchus.

But this corner of the country is also in danger.

Yu Kecheng and Zhou Haizhong immediately joined forces and advanced towards Jinan.

Although the Ming army won a complete victory in this battle, they did not even fight with the Qing army, and the losses were minimal.

However, the erosion in Shandong and Henan provinces is so severe that most of the farmland has been abandoned for a long time, refugees are everywhere, and the mountains are full of bandits and bandits.

The Ming army must end the war as soon as possible and capture the entire territory of Henan and Shandong.

Moreover, the Ming army did not have enough food, so Zhu Yijiong could only organize households and people on the spot.

The two high-ranking officials have been corrupted during their tenure, and now nine out of ten houses are empty.

Just in time to recuperate with the people.

When there is almost enough food, we can immigrate to the north and enrich the population.
