After three days of discussion, the Qing court finally made up its mind to mobilize the army to fight to the death with the Ming army.

If you can win, that would be the best.

They took advantage of the power of the victory to gain a foothold in the north, and even took the opportunity to raise troops to go south and retake the south.

If they fail, they will even lose the power to rule the north. They can only relax the ban on martial arts and let each province supervise team training and protect themselves.

If this doesn't work, you can only exit the customs.

In order to complete this plan, they even moved the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners stationed in Liaodong.

After putting down the last capital, the Qing court still felt that it was not enough.

Start recruiting men in Liaodong.

In addition to Jianzhou Jurchens, there are many ethnic minorities in Liaodong.

In the eyes of Jianzhou Jurchens, these people are no different from barbarians.

Heavy corvees and taxes were often assigned to them.

For this decisive battle, they directly recruited all the men from all ethnic groups.

Together with the Zhili Green Camp General, a total of 300,000 troops were formed.

In order to ensure logistics, another 300,000 civilians were forcibly recruited in Zhili, known to the outside world as a 600,000-strong army.

This army was personally commanded by Suksaha and Ebilong and marched towards Jinling, aiming to attack Huanglong and break through the core of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Naturally, such a large-scale military operation cannot be avoided.

When the army was dispatched, the detailed plan had already landed on Han Yu's desk.

"Everyone in the family, please take a look. How do you think we should respond?"

Han Yu distributed the plan to everyone.

Han Yu abolished the kneeling ceremony when going to court and restored the tradition before the Han Dynasty. Civil and military officials each had a seat and a small table.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to personally lead an army to conquer the Qingyao and restore our country, the Ming Dynasty."

Mu Tianbo said quickly.

He never dreamed that in just a few months, he would go from a defeated general to a general with thousands of troops in his hands.

Even half of the country was restored.

And all of this is thanks to the man in front of me.

Now, he believes that as long as he is given another year or two, his homeland can be completely restored.

By then, even if he dies, he will be able to rest in peace.

Therefore, he couldn't wait to stand up and wanted to personally lead the war to restore his homeland.

He also wants to leave his name in history.

Not only Mu Tianbo had this idea, but the other regiment commanders who were present also had the same idea, and they all asked for a fight.

Han Yu was very happy to see everyone's positive attitude.

People’s hearts are available.

"Everyone, please be patient. The war against the Qing Dynasty must be carried out, but not only on one road, but on multiple roads in parallel."

"The specific combat plan is to divide the troops into three groups."

"I will personally command the first route and lead ten legions northward to deal with the main legions of the Qing court."

"The second route, under the command of Mu Jiansheng, led five legions, set off by boat, landed in Liaodong, and went straight to Fengtian. They attacked the lair of the Qingyao one by one. We must not let them escape into the mountains and forests to recuperate. We must eradicate the roots and avoid future troubles forever."

"Yes." Mu Jiansheng stood up and accepted the order.

"The third route, commanded by veteran general Mu Tianbo, led five legions and set off by boat, landing at Dagu. After landing, they went straight to the capital and directly wiped out all the princes and nobles of the Qing Dynasty."

"Yes!" Mu Tianbo also stood up.

His face turned a little flushed with excitement.

When he thought about having the opportunity to kill the leader of Qingyao, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

For many years, they had been passively beaten, and now they had the opportunity to capture the leader of Qingyao, which made him extremely excited.

It's a pity that the old rival Dorgon is dead, otherwise, we would have to compete with him again.

The combat plan was formulated and the six departments began to operate.

The Ministry of Industry stepped up the production of weapons and ammunition, the Ministry of Revenue allocated a lot of money and food needed for the expedition, and the Ministry of War was responsible for allocating troops and distributing tasks.

The whole country started to operate like a huge machine.

In addition to the three armies arranged by Han Yu, the legions originally stationed in Sichuan and Hubei Province also began to march towards the neighboring Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Henan provinces to coordinate the other three armies.

Originally this was just a sheep attack, but in order to cope with the decisive battle of the main force, and the previous southern expedition hosted by Obai, the Qing government had already mobilized all the troops in these areas.

Many counties even have only a hundred or ten military commanders.

The Ming army in these areas felt like they were in uninhabited territory, and they occupied a large area in a few days.

However, at this time, the Qing government was no longer able to care about the war in this area, and could only order county magistrates and gentry from various places to recruit strong men and form regiments to protect the country and the people.

However, before the war began, Han Yu had already dispatched some smart and capable Jinyi guards into the areas controlled by the Qing court.

They have only one mission, and that is to promote Ming Dynasty's policies.

Equal distribution of land, exemption from taxes, exemption from corvee, and free education are all great weapons to win the hearts and minds of the people in any agricultural society.

Han Yu’s four-pronged approach has a conceivable effect.

Although those wealthy landlords and businessmen had a lot of money, they could only recruit a few green men.

The remaining farmers are waiting and watching, waiting for the Ming army to return, defeat the landlords, and divide the fields equally.

Because the preliminary work was done relatively well, the Ming army made rapid progress in Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Henan provinces.

New county towns are captured every day.

Intensified battle reports are flying to the capital like snowflakes every day.

However, the Qing court no longer had the intention to care about them.

Because, their land of Longxing, Liaodong, was captured.

Because they were traveling by boat, Mu Jiansheng's army moved much faster than Han Yu.

We entered Liaodong as early as seven days ago.

The main force of the Eight Banners has already entered the pass, and the remaining main force is all stationed in Shengjing.

As a result, he was also drafted away to fight the Ming army a few days ago.

Even the young men have been mobilized.

This results in Liaodong's defense being even more empty than other provinces.

Mu Jiansheng almost carried out an armed march and easily captured Shengjing along the way.

After learning that his hometown had been captured, Xiaozhuang was so angry that he became ill. He lay on the bed with more air coming out and less air coming in. He was about to die.

The only people in the Qing court who could make the decision were Tuogu veteran Suoni and the eight-year-old Kangxi.

"What should I do?"

Kangxi looked at the battle reports of repeated defeats in various places and didn't know what to do.

His backbone, Xiaozhuang, fell, and all this left him at a loss.

"Why don't we mobilize the army to return, conquer the Longxing land first, and then fight the Ming army decisively?"

Kangxi asked.

"Absolutely not." Suoni quickly stopped him.

"The army must not change its orders overnight. Besides, the army is already about to engage in battle with the enemy. If it is called back at this time, the morale of the army will inevitably be shattered. The only choice is to fight the Ming army decisively first and then plan later."

Suoni said.

Kangxi wanted to say something more, but suddenly a eunuch ran in.

"Urgent news from Dagu!"

"How could there be an urgent report from Dagu?" Suoni frowned.

Suddenly, he thought about the powerful navy of the Ming army. The loss of Liaodong was because the Ming army landed from the sea and rushed into Shengjing from the sea.

"Could it be..."

Suo Ni felt cold all over his body and snatched the battle report.

I saw it read: "The Ming army is powerful, with more than a thousand battleships and thousands of cannons. The Ming army missed the entrance to Dagu, and the Ming army has landed..."
