Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1082 Qinghai Fortification
At the end of the third year of co-government, the direct influence of Zhungeer's surprise attack on the Kingdom of Jin lasted until April of the fourth year of co-rule, while the indirect influence may last for decades.

In the short half a year, many major events took place, one of which was the westward migration of the defeated Zhungeer remnants.

Because Hauge's cooperation was not effective, the main force of the Jin army entered Qinghai to stabilize the situation in Qinghai, and intended to drive the Ming army out of Qinghai, but gave up the pursuit of Sengge, making Sengge's nearly [-] cavalry pass through Alxa The Badain Jaran Desert on the plateau escaped Daishan's interception, attacked several tribes who surrendered to the Qing along the way, robbed some cattle, sheep and people, and caught up with the remnants of the Jungar tribe who moved westward.

The old Batur Hun Khan, after suffering a great defeat, died of illness on the way to the west. Sengge had the strongest army and inherited the Khan position of Zhungeer.

At the end of March in the fourth year of Ming Gongzhi, the remnant of Zhungeer rested for half a month on the banks of the Irtysh River. After Seng Ge inherited the throne of Khan, he continued to advance westward.

They broke through the barriers of hundreds of Cossacks near Tyumen, and went to the Volga River to join Turghut, one of the four tribes of Oala nomadic here.

The Zhungeer tribe, which dominates Moxi, can only live a life of being dependent on others.

Taking advantage of the Jin and Qing's attentions in the northwest, the Ming Dynasty in the south carried out many actions.

In the west, the Ming army tried to enter U-Tsang, but the U-Tsang Commander and Xuanwei Division dissuaded them, saying that Ming had never stationed troops in U-Tsang. The troops controlled by several living Buddhas began to gather in Block the Ming army from entering Tibet along the way.

The Ming Dynasty's preparations were not sufficient, it was just a test, and seeing that Wu Sizang's reaction was more intense, Chen Youlong led the troops back.

After failing to enter Uzang, Wang Deren entered the southern part of Qinghai, but went very smoothly.

All the troops of the Kingdom of Jin were transferred to the north to deal with the Zhungeer Mongolia. Qinghai was empty, and the Ming army took advantage of the emptiness to enter, and soon controlled many tribes in the southeast of Qinghai.

Originally, there were only about [-] nomadic tribes in the southeast of Qinghai, but because of the Zhungeer South Expedition, many tribes from the north moved here, which made the Ming army control about [-] tents at once, which was a big deal for nothing.

When He Tengjiao got the news, he immediately wrote a letter, requesting the court to reset Duogan Dusi, asking the court for money and supplies.

The Ming army had very few cavalry. Although Jin Guo had no time to take care of Qinghai and occupied the southern part of Qinghai, Jin Guo might counterattack at any time, and without the support of the city, it would be difficult for the Ming army to defend the vast area of ​​southeast Qinghai.

After Wang Deren arrived here, Li Dingguo, who had recovered from his injuries, led more than 3 civilians to Qinghai, rushing to build the two cities of Gande and Dari to prevent the counterattack of the Jin army.

If these two cities are built, then the Ming army can rely on the city and cooperate with a small number of cavalry to control the southern part of Qinghai, and use this as a foundation to advance northward, and then control the entire Qinghai and encircle the Kingdom of Jin.

However, although the plan is good, it is not easy to implement. Building a city is not a simple matter, especially because the roads are difficult and the transportation of materials is inconvenient. If the Ming Dynasty wants to accomplish this task, it will inevitably cost a lot.

In the imperial court, Wang Yan naturally strongly supported this. This is related to the source of war horses in the Ming Dynasty, and it is worthwhile to spend a lot of money to provide elite cavalry for the Ming Dynasty. However, there are voices of opposition in the imperial court. Few people think that the consumption is too much and it is completely unnecessary. Some ministers even think that the Northern Expedition should not be done at all, and the north-south confrontation like this is good.

Compared with the south, the north is relatively poor. Some people think that the imperial court's northern expedition will firstly increase the taxes on the south, and secondly, after the conquest, the north needs to recover, and the southern provinces must be transfused, and even the population will be relocated to the north.

These southerners were reluctant to see it, and some people settled their accounts and found out that the Northern Expedition might as well turn to Nanyang and attack a few more places like Champa.

Wang Yan is very disgusted with this kind of short-sighted and short-sighted thinking. If there are two big countries left in the north, the Ming Dynasty is now strong, and it may be peaceful for a few years. Once there is a problem within the Ming Dynasty, the two northern countries will inevitably go south to invade .

How could someone else be allowed to snore and sleep on the side of the couch, but fortunately, most people in the court still had a long-term vision, and the plan to build a city in Qinghai was approved by the court.

Although the Kingdom of Jin won the war against Zhungeer, it lost the southeast of Qinghai and lost thousands of herdsmen who surrendered to Jin.

Compared with Jin, Qing also faced attacks from the Ming Dynasty, but the situation was much better.

On the two Huaihe Rivers, the Ming Dynasty sent Dai Zhifan, the governor of the Chinese Army, to Huai'an to sit in the town. The Ming Army assembled 15 people and placed them on the front line of the Huaihe River.

Originally, the Ming Dynasty only suppressed troops, but the governors of the Five Armed Forces Governor's Mansion felt that the opportunity was rare, and they could try to attack Xuzhou to accumulate experience for the future Northern Expedition.

At the end of November last year, after obtaining the imperial court's approval, several governors of the five armies' governor's mansions gathered in Huai'an to help Dai Zhifan make suggestions.

The Ming army dispatched [-] troops, divided into two groups, and rushed towards Xuzhou along both sides of the canal. Huaibei and Shandong were shocked, and all the prefectures and counties along the way fell.

Ma Guanghui, governor of Shandong Province in the Qing court, was so frightened that he quickly took back the [-] troops on the front line of the Huaihe River to Xuzhou City. While holding on, he asked Dorgon for help.

At the same time, Sun Shoufa in Nanyang also began to attack Henan.

Successive defeats before the Manchu Qing Dynasty led to the rise of Han warlords, such as Jiang Xiang in Shanxi, Ma Guanghui in Xuzhou, and Monk Kong Youde guarding Henan. They were all warlords who controlled a large number of troops.

This time the Manchu Qing conquered Zhungeer, they transferred the Zhenghong Banner of the Han Army that belonged to Kong Youde, and the Xianglan Banner of the Han Army that belonged to Shang Kexi. There was a hint of taking the opportunity to consume the strength of the two of them.

After all, the two of them had [-] troops in Henan, and one of them lasted for four or five years. They hadn't moved anywhere, so the Manchu nobles would naturally feel a little suspicious.

The two most elite banners of the Qing army in Henan were transferred away. Kong Youde immediately reported the change to Beijing when he saw that there was a change in the Ming army in Nanyang.

Dorgon could only divide the remaining [-] cavalry into two, sending [-] to Henan and [-] to Xuzhou.

Dai Zhifan led an army of [-] Ming troops to attack along the canal. At first it was very smooth, and they went all the way to the city of Xuzhou. The Ming army who only wanted to try, saw that they had reached Xuzhou so easily. It would be a pity not to fight, so they faked it , Surrounded the attack.

For a while, the city of Xuzhou was full of artillery fire, and the Ming army's sharp weapons only made Xuzhou crumbling. But at this moment, [-] Qing cavalry bypassed Xuzhou, rushed directly to the Ming army's grain road, and burned the Ming army's grain ship. The Ming army, which took the initiative, immediately fell into a passive state.

The Ming army relied on the canal to transport grain, but the distance was hundreds of miles, and the Qing cavalry came and went like the wind, and there were so many people that the Ming army could not keep the grain road smooth.

The 1 Ming army attacking Xuzhou immediately became dangerous. Dai Zhifan could only retreat along the canal. Ma Guanghui in Xuzhou city immediately led the army to chase and kill them. Zhang Mingzhen led the navy, Liu Tichun led 2 people, and they were brought back to the south of the Huaihe River.

The actions of the Ming army in Huaibei ended in failure.

On the North Korean side, Nikan led [-] Qing troops to defend Seoul to the death. The North Korean army that attacked the city was still weak. After two months of siege, Seoul was not defeated.

Not long after, news came that the Qing army had ended the battle in Moxi. Xie Qian was worried that the Qing army would enter the court aggressively, so he withdrew the siege ahead of time.

It is a pity that Seoul was not captured, but the Ming army was not without gains. The institutions and troops of the Puppet North Korea in Wudao West were basically destroyed by the coalition forces.

Although the siege of Seoul was lifted, the influence of the Qing army in North Korea was only left around Seoul.

If the Manchu Qing did not invest some resources in North Korea to strengthen the strength of the Qing army stationed in North Korea, the coalition forces wanted to drive the Qing army out of North Korea, and it would be within a year or two.

The Ming Dynasty's actions to contain the Qing Dynasty were not very successful, and they did not take advantage of it like they did against the Jin Kingdom.

This made the Ming Dynasty begin to summarize the reasons for the failure of the containment operation, and many people immediately pointed out that the Ming Dynasty was too short of cavalry.
