(The new book "Iron and Blood Fighting" will be officially uploaded on June [-]st. I sincerely hope that readers will continue to support me. I will definitely do my best. Thank you.)

Lu Xiangsheng led the army across the Liaohe River, and the news that Haizhou was surrounded by the Jiangning camp was like a blockbuster, making the atmosphere in Shenyang more subtle.Although it is said that the Manchus are very united, and the Manchu nobles also want to defend Shenyang to the death, but at this time, they do not have enough confidence.

The Zhenghong Banner and Xianghong Banner led by Daishan were wiped out. Daishan sacrificed his life for the Qing Dynasty. The most valiant banner owner of the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon, Prince Rui, was also trapped in Haizhou, and his life and death were uncertain. People are soberly aware that the battle to defend Shenyang will not have a happy ending.

Hauge wrote twice, requesting to lead sergeants to guard Shenyang, but was severely reprimanded by Huang Taiji, and he was not allowed to return to Shenyang. Focus on deploying defenses in the local area to prevent the attack of the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion. Huang Taiji personally commanded the sergeants in Shenyang City and began to deploy defenses.

Huang Taiji also wanted to deploy troops to reinforce Dorgon in Haizhou, but under the current circumstances, it was impossible to deploy troops. Su Tiancheng's plan was very detailed, which made it impossible for Huang Taiji to deploy troops, but if Haizhou, Anshan and Liaoyang were lost, and Shenyang became an isolated city without any assistance. The Manchu nobles in the Qing Dynasty might be ready to return to the black mountains and white waters.

The Qing Dynasty finally reached the verge of life and death.

Huang Taiji felt that he was really old, and his ambitions were slowly worn away.Facing the Jiangning battalion's attack, he seemed powerless and completely passive.

Jierhalang repeatedly requested that Huang Taiji withdraw from Shenyang.Meeting with Haoge and stationed in the Sarhu area, the implication is very clear. Once Shenyang falls, they will retreat from Zhenbei Pass and return to the place where they used to fight.

Huang Taiji has issued several imperial edicts.Ask Meng Baqi to rush to Shenyang quickly.

It's a pity that Meng Baqi never had the opportunity to come to Shenyang.

The sergeants led by Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong have already set off a storm in the grassland, and the battle on the grassland has been smoother. The Mongolian Eight Banners rely on the charge of cavalry, and there is no city to hold on to. As for firearms, because of the control of Hetao Prefecture and Urumqi Prefecture , they simply don't get it.Therefore, in the battle, it relies on the charge of manpower. In the field battles, the Mongolian Eight Banners suffered heavy losses. It has reached the point where they trembled when they saw the artillery. There are not many big tribes, but the grassland tribes are all clear.This time will not last for a long time, and the Jin court will eventually unify the entire grassland.

Huang Taiji made up his mind.Live and die with Shenyang.

As for the children of the royal family, they began to withdraw from Shenyang in batches and arrived at Hauge's side. The blood of the royal family still had to continue, and they couldn't all stay in Shenyang. Once Shenyang was captured.The blood of Huang Taiji will no longer exist.

This kind of evacuation is very painful. After leaving Shenyang with good conditions, I am afraid that I will continue to return to the black mountains and white waters. Not everyone can bear the difficult environment.

Arrangements for Manchu nobles.Huang Taiji also had a clear opinion.

These children of Manchu nobles can withdraw from Shenyang and follow Hauge, but the rest are not allowed to withdraw from Shenyang, they must fight with the Jiangning camp. If they escape, they will become the scum among the Manchus.

Since mid-June, Manchurians have been evacuated from Shenyang one after another, but this kind of action is carried out secretly. After all, the evacuation with great fanfare will affect the morale of the army.

Jierhalang also knew what Huang Taiji was thinking. Huang Taiji was getting old, and as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he would not leave Shenyang, just like the Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, so he stopped admonishing the emperor and devoted himself to it. Went to the battle with the Jiangning battalion. After all, there are still 10,000+ troops under his command. The Jiangning battalion sergeants who attacked Shenyang did not exceed 10. There is still an advantage in terms of strength. With extraordinary performance, there might be a chance of defeating Jiang Ningying.

After the Jiangning battalion crossed the Liaohe River, they stationed and rested on the spot, and did not launch an attack for the time being. This was Lu Xiangsheng's order, and it was actually the emperor's intention.

The army led by Hong Chengchou went very smoothly in the battle of attacking Yaozhou and Haizhou. Many senior officers knew the news. The emperor set two goals for the attack. Various ways of defeating were adopted to wipe out the viable forces of the Houjin Tartars to the greatest extent. Another reason was to use as many troops as possible to attack Shenyang. After all, the superiority in military strength is also crucial. The capital of the Golden Tatars must be managed with care, and it is necessary to be very cautious when attacking Shenyang.

Like many military officers, Lu Xiangsheng put forward his opinion, suggesting that the emperor should not cross the Liaohe River when he was stationed in Guangning. Followed across the Liaohe River, many soldiers were always concerned. If the Hou Jin Tartars noticed this and launched a heavy attack, it is estimated that Lu Xiangsheng's first consideration was not to attack the Hou Jin Tartars, but to protect the safety of the emperor.

Su Tiancheng didn't insist, followed everyone's advice, and stayed in Guangning. He really wanted to be the first to enter Shenyang City, how comfortable it would be, but he couldn't make fun of the lives of many soldiers, the so-called emperor The Royal Conquest actually represents a kind of symbolic meaning. It can stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers at the beginning of the battle, but after a long time, it will become a burden for the soldiers. If the emperor still insists on his own opinion at this time, it is very likely to destroy the dominant situation.

When Lu Xiangsheng led the army to leave, he made a promise to Su Tiancheng that once the army broke through the defensive strongholds on the outskirts of Shenyang and surrounded Shenyang, he would ask the emperor to cross the Liao River and watch the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion rush into Shenyang. It also indicates that the fate of the post-Gold Tartars has entered a countdown moment.

Staying in Guangning, Su Tiancheng was not idle, and wrote a letter to Hong Chengchou, telling Hong Chengchou that once Haizhou was captured, the army must move quickly and not stay, and sent [-] soldiers to attack Anshan and Liaoyang. After passing through the two cities, they went straight to Sarhu and other places, cutting off Shenyang's retreat.

After receiving the emperor's letter, Hong Chengchou was directing the battle to attack Haizhou.

The battle has come to an end. He really did not expect that after two days, most of the Haizhou city has been occupied by the soldiers of the Jiangning camp, and the Jin Tartars have been compressed into a small area. In half a day, the Jiangning Battalion was able to wipe out all the Houjin Tatars stationed in Haizhou. What made Hong Chengchou even more excited was that Dorgon, the most valiant banner leader of the Houjin, was surrounded in Haizhou and could not evacuate. The generals, the ultimate fate has been doomed.

After reading the emperor's letter, Hong Chengchou thought carefully and began to adjust the deployment without hesitation. He understood the emperor's arrangement. As the battle progressed, the emperor considered completely destroying the Houjin regime.

In fact, the battle is divided into two settlements. The emperor once gave a time schedule. The first stage is mainly to destroy the vital forces of the Houjin Tartars, and the second stage is to completely destroy the political foundation of the Houjin. But I did not expect Yes, the campaign progressed so fast that the first and second phases couldn't be completely separated.

Nearly 30 years have passed since Nurhaci published the Seven Great Hatreds and began to rebel. During such a long period of time, through the efforts of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, the Houjin regime has been greatly stabilized and has penetrated into almost every country in Liaodong. In the corner, it is difficult to destroy the power of the Houjin Tartars, but it is even more difficult to completely destroy the regime and influence of the Houjin.

Su Tiancheng never concealed his point of view, thinking that Nurhachi and Huang Taiji were both great people, and even revealed in his words that no one in the Ming court could compete with these two people.

Following Su Tiancheng for a long time, Hong Chengchou also has his own understanding. Nurhachi and Huang Taiji are indeed talents, but compared with Su Tiancheng, there is still a gap. Su Tiancheng was able to establish a strong Jin Dynasty in just over ten years. Dynasty, if there is no extraordinary ability, absolutely can not do it.

Therefore, after thinking about the arrangement of Su Tiancheng's letter, Hong Chengchou implemented it without compromise.

He ordered Sun Chuanting to lead an army of [-] troops, bypass Anshan and Liaoyang, and go straight to Fushun, Tieling, and Sarhu. Between Fushun and Tieling, there are post-gold Tartars led by Hauge. Sun Chuanting must do whatever it takes. Suppress this group of post-gold tartars, and at the same time completely block Shenyang's retreat. If possible, after destroying the post-gold tartars led by Hauge, attack in the direction of Shenyang, and the army led by Lu Xiangsheng, Attack Shenyang together.

As for Hong Chengchou himself, after taking Haizhou, he led the army to take Tieling and Liaoyang in one go. If there is time, he will go straight to Shenyang and participate in the team's attack.

Although the battle in Haizhou City is still going on, the order was quickly executed. Sun Chuanting, He Renlong and others led an army of [-], left Haizhou, and began to make great strides in the direction of Fushun. Their mission is very important. Make it clear, get rid of all interference, don't love to fight along the way, use three days to reach Fushun Pass, and quickly launch an attack.

No one would have thought that such an arrangement would become the most crucial and most exciting stroke of the Golden Tatars after the conquest. It was precisely because of this arrangement that the Golden Tartars, who were caught off guard, fell into the fate of complete destruction. up. (To be continued..)
