Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 462

In May, the entire northern situation fell into a state of anxiety.

First of all, in Shanxi, Jiang Yu raised troops in Datong. Although the famous kings of the Qing army such as Azig, Haoge, and Nikan continued to persuade and besiege them, the effect was not great.

Especially in the Taiyuan area, after the Ming army occupied the province, they immediately sent troops to Yanmen to guard the gate.

Afterwards, the Ming army continued to mobilize materials from the entire Jin province to support Datong. Although it was difficult to match in the field, the Ming army did not lose momentum in terms of momentum.

In other words, except for a few cities, Shanxi Province has all fallen.

The situation in Henan is also uneasy.

Luck Dehun went south immediately and stopped the Ming army's offensive at Zhangde Mansion, but the three Henan prefectures could only keep Zhangde Mansion, and the other two prefectures were helpless.

After all, Luke Dehun only has thousands of soldiers and horses.

In this way, Wu Sangui will not be afraid. Although Shandong is facing [-] soldiers, it can really fight less than half of them.

What chilled him the most was that in the face of Shandong's plight, the Manchu and Qing courts were still mobilizing food and materials from Shandong, and had no intention of sending reinforcements at all.

He has become a gambit.

"The Ming army is as timid as a mouse and can only attack at night. You guys kill the enemy well, and I will reward you—"

Wu Sangui stood at the top of the city, looking at the densely packed flames that could not be seen beyond the edge, his heart trembled.

It is Jining City again.

This unlucky boundary has been gained and lost several times, and I don't know if I can hold it this time.

Feeling puzzled in his heart, Wu Sangui didn't show it.

This time, Fang Yichen, who hurried over while arranging his clothes, showed a solemn expression: "It seems that the Ming army is going to march north."

"Yeah, I never thought so fast before."

Wu Sangui said in a deep voice: "It took two months to come back, it's really too fast."

"The use of troops by Emperor Shaowu was unexpected."

Fang Yichen showed a deep smile.

"You said, at this time, is it too late for me to surrender?"

Wu Sangui suddenly whispered.

Fang Yichen was stunned: "Your Majesty is a minister of Ming Dynasty, he had no choice but to lure the Qing army into the pass in order to avenge the emperor, and no one picked a mistake when he returned to the Ming army."

"It's just that the son is in Beijing and will be engaged to Princess Heshuo. I'm afraid..."

"I'm joking."

Wu Sangui shook his head suddenly, and said seriously: "Don't mention this to others."

Peaceful night.

By daybreak, the camps of the Ming army had been fully set up, and a large number of Ming troops were resting, densely packed, completely enclosing Jining City.

Li Jizu looked at Jining City, then looked at the two barracks, and said contemptuously: "This city is only two feet high, and it only takes three to five days to capture it."

Famous generals including Li Chengdong and Qin Dapeng nodded their heads one after another.

Zhang Qi and Ren Qi on the side felt that they were listening to bragging, and their faces were full of disbelief.

Li Jizu smiled slightly and said: "Not only Jiannu has red cannons, but we also have them."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and five huge red-clothed cannons appeared in front of everyone.

The huge body and the dark hole all showed its huge power.

"Now, let Jiannu have a taste of this."

But at the top of the city, Wu Sangui was shocked when he saw the cannon in red, feeling bad.

"Let the cavalry seize the opportunity and destroy the Ming army's artillery as much as possible."

Fang Yichen showed a helpless smile, this decision is better than nothing!
The moment the red-clothed cannon appeared, he had already expected that with the flat terrain of Shandong, he would lose as fast as he gained.

After bombarding the artillery for two days, the Guan Ning army couldn't help but attack and directly attacked the weak Yulin army, causing considerable losses.

But it can only stop there.

The Ming army used a conservative defensive formation and cooperated with the red artillery, which made Wu Sangui miserable.

As a last resort, we can only abandon Jining City and give up Yanzhou.

Shandong has made a major breakthrough.

In this way, Shanxi and Henan have fallen into a stalemate, and Shandong's breakthrough is expected to be a happy event.

And at this time, in the city of Nanjing, the emperor reaped his third son, who was also the eldest son.

Empress Sun Xueniang lived up to everyone's expectations and finally gave birth to a son-in-law for the court. It can be said that the city was full of joy.

Since Emperor Zhengde, for nearly 150 years in the Ming Dynasty, there was no eldest son to succeed to the throne, which caused a lot of turmoil.

It's fun to say, Renzong, Xuanzong, Yingzong, and Xianzong are all the eldest sons succeeding to the throne. Except for Wuzong, none of them succeeded the eldest son.

The throne reserve in the last years of Jiajing, the crown prince dispute in Wanli, and finally waited for the Chongzhen Emperor to give birth to the eldest son, and the country was destroyed. There is no news so far.

It can be said that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked forward to the eldest son as they hoped for the rain.

Zhu Yixi was also very happy about this, and he was even happier than after he held the palace examination not long ago.

The position of the prince is stable.

However, Zhu Yixi didn't just wait for the crown prince directly, and had to wait for him to grow up. The death rate in ancient times was too high.

"Your Majesty, have you chosen a name?"

Sun Xueniang's fair face was even more white at this time. She looked at her son who had been cleaned and wrinkled beside her, and showed a relaxed smile.

"According to the seniority established by Taizu and his old man, he is a descendant, but the name is not in a hurry, let's get a baby name first!"

In his mind, Zhu Yixi thought about Goudan, Gousheng, and Heidan, but finally gave up.

Zhu Yixi looked at the little man and smiled from the bottom of his heart: "I only hope that Ming Dynasty will prosper and the world will be peaceful, so I will call you Brother Ning!"

"Brother Ning, what a name!"

Sun Xueniang showed a knowing smile.

"elder sister!"

At this time, Sun Damianang also walked over with her stomach full, and was instantly relieved to see that her sister was safe and sound.

Then, seeing the villain on the bed, he couldn't help saying happily: "Sure enough, a prince was born!"

"You still have the mind to worry about your sister, so take care of yourself!"

Looking at the six-month-old damselfly, Zhu Yixi felt distressed.

I saw that the baby's fat little face was now much thinner, and the slapped face looked haggard.

She had no appetite during pregnancy, she vomited more when she ate less, and she had the most severe morning sickness reaction.

As for Mu Han'er, who was also pregnant, the two of them were noisy on weekdays, and she also suffered from morning sickness when she was pregnant, but it was slightly better than Sun Damiana.

"fine!"

Sitting down carefully, Sun Damiana looked at the little guy lovingly, with the radiance of maternal love on her face.

"Damnie, I'm fine, you go back quickly!"

Sun Xueniang also felt sorry for her younger sister, and hurriedly said: "You have to take good care of your body."

"Got it~"

With a long drawl, Sun Damianang left slowly.

After comforting the queen again, Zhu Yixi was ready to deal with government affairs:
"How long will it take to occupy the entire territory of Shandong?"

"Li Jizu didn't say anything, he just said that after Jining City was broken, Wu Sangui's troops didn't lose too much."
