After reacting, Kong Youde hurriedly kowtowed and thanked:

"Thank you Lord for your kindness, long live my emperor!"

Duduo thanked him somewhat against his will, but Kong Youde thanked him sincerely. Before that, he thought that Huang Taiji was lucky not to harm his family.

After Duduo and Kong Youde, all the ministers came forward to prostrate themselves and shouted:

"My Holy Emperor!"

Huang Taiji turned around on the dragon throne and waved his hand to the civil and military officials below:

"Your Majesty, you will be spared all courtesy!"

"Thank you Lord for your grace!"

The ministers returned to court without any hesitation.

Huang Taiji looked at the civil and military personnel in Chongde Hall and found that many familiar faces were missing, which still made him feel a little uncomfortable!

Compared with the Manchu Qing Dynasty in history, at this time there were fewer Ajige, Shuotuo, Aobai, Abatai, Yangguli, Ning Wanwo, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, etc.

These people were extremely important to Jiannu. Their death in battle greatly weakened Jiannu's strength. Now facing the Ming army, Huang Taiji was no longer sure of victory.

He sighed secretly and said:

"Flag leaders and military generals, I would like to advise you that fighting a war is not about rushing and fighting. To face a powerful opponent, you must know how to use troops. If you don't understand the art of war, you must read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms carefully. There are thirty chapters in it.

All six strategies are available.

Starting today, I ask each of your generals to read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, especially Duoduo and Kong Youde. Don’t you know that the Thirty-Six Stratagems are the best strategy? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have only two bare men to command the entire army.

Overthrown!"

After Huang Taiji said this, all the civil and military officials in the court, except Prince Li Daishan and Yue Tuo, could not help but laugh.

Duduo and Kong Youde, however, were blushing. Neither of them had been defeated recently. How could they think of the Thirty-Six Stratagems? Besides, the battle on Pi Island was impossible to go away. It was just luck for the two bare guys to come back...

Thinking that the two defeats were due to the Ming army's musketeers, Huang Taiji felt that it was urgent to develop muskets.

Huang Taiji passed the order, and Shang Kexi's eldest son Shang Zhixin and Geng Zhongming's son Geng Jingzhong took over their father's Han army and cooperated with Kong Youde to train musketeers. From now on, the Han army would use muskets as much as possible.

Later, Huang Taiji sent a decree to confer the titles of the Jiannu generals who died in the battle, with Shuotuo as Prince Heshuo'an, and Aobai as Prince Yong...

Before Huang Taiji could take a breath, Du Du, the leader of the Zhenglan Banner, hurriedly entered the Chongde Hall and immediately knelt down and cried loudly:

"Your Majesty, something bad happened. Parts of southern Liaoning were attacked by the Ming army. At least 30,000 soldiers and civilians of the Qing Dynasty were massacred. The whole family of the slaves was killed and no one was left alive!

Ming Gou first conquered Zhenjiang, and the defender Tong Puhan died in battle, and all the Manchus in the city were killed. Then Fenghuang City and Tangbao were captured, Li Shutai and Ciba died in battle, and the Manchus in Fenghuang Castle were massacred.

Almost at the same time that Tangbao and other cities in Zhenjiang were attacked by the Ming army in a sneak attack, Lushun and Jinzhou were also defeated and massacred by another Ming army. The villages outside the cities were also not spared.

Fuzhou and Yongning were successively attacked by sneak attacks. The people in the city were killed, and almost all the Manchus were massacred. Most of the castles that were breached had an obvious feature. Some Ming troops wore Eight Banners armor and pretended to open the city gate..."

"What?"

"How is it possible? How could there be so many Ming troops? It's impossible, absolutely impossible..."

Huang Taiji and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned for a moment. This kind of thing had never happened before Mao Wenlong's death. Whose general was so brave...

After the shock, the entire Chongde Hall was in chaos. Both Han officials and Jiannu felt at a loss.

They thought that after conquering North Korea, everything would be fine in the Qing's rear areas. Unexpectedly, before they got home, the Ming army actually entered the rear areas...

Prince Rui Dorgon was the first to react. He grabbed Du Du by the collar and asked:

"Are the battle reports reliable? Who is the commander-in-chief of the Ming army?"

Du Du was pinched by Dorgon and was a little breathless. He hurriedly patted Dorgon's big hand and said:

"Prince Rui, let go now, or you will choke to death..."

When Dorgon heard this, he quickly let go:

"Tell me, what's going on?"

After Dorgon's reminder, the Chongde Hall became quiet. The slaves immediately focused their attention on Du Du's face. Even Huang Taiji looked at Du Du nervously. They all hoped that Du Du had made a mistake...

…

In the past, when Mao Wenlong was here, he often robbed, harassed, and attacked the Manchus in southern Liaoning. He was very difficult to prevent when he hit and ran away, and once even went as far as Almaty, the den of slaves.

Neither Nurhachi nor Huang Taiji could do anything about it. Later, Yuan Chonghuan helped kill Mao Wenlong, which caused chaos in Pidao, and the Qing Dynasty's rear was finally stabilized, but this time...,

Du Du coughed twice and detailed the battle report he had received...

Before Du Du finished speaking, Huang Taiji suddenly opened his mouth and spat out two mouthfuls of blood...

It turned out that Huang Degong, Sun Yingyuan and Cao Bianjiao led their Ming troops, wearing Jiannu armor, to open the city gates of Zhenjiang and Lushun in succession, and after entering the city, they immediately started killing the Jiannu slaves in the city.

Jinzhou and Fuzhou are very simple. The Ming army built city walls to resist the invasion of the Jian Nu. After the Jian Nu invaded, they demolished the city walls to prevent the Ming army from recapturing the city again.

As a result, the Ming army got an advantage this time, and they entered Fuzhou effortlessly. Jiannu, who had only a small number of troops stationed there, were almost killed without any preparation.

Then the three Ming armies quickly evacuated with their money, food, horses, cattle and sheep. The total strength of the three armies was only more than 6,000 men. Their purpose this time was to rob and kill, not to capture the city.

When Huang Taiji's army arrived, the city was already empty, and the Ming army had basically boarded the ship. Only Huang Degong's troops walked a little slower, and were overtaken by Dorgon on the beach.

Huang Degong gave the order, and the soldiers immediately formed a formation on the seaside, preparing to let Jiannu Zhengbai Banner have a taste of the guns of the Huben Army.

But Zheng Sen did not give Huang Degong a chance. The two warships quickly turned around and more than ninety artillery pieces bombarded the Zhengbai flag led by Dorgon.

Although the Zhengbai Banner was the most elite army of Jiannu, they had never seen a salvo of hundreds of cannons, leaving more than 300 corpses. Dorgon led the Zhengbai Banner to retreat quickly and strictly implemented the Thirty-six Strategies of Huang Taiji.

The strategy on...

The three-pronged army re-established the slaves and returned with a full load, and obtained more than 20,000 cattle, sheep and horses, more than 100,000 taels of gold and silver, and 50,000 dan of grain...

When they returned to the waters of Phi Island, the soldiers were shocked to find that there were boats and rafts everywhere on the coast of Phi Island.

After inquiring, I found out that Shen Shikui actually led tens of thousands of people from Pi Island and the Ming army to salvage the artillery pieces from the sunken ship.

When the warships and merchant ships docked, they saw piles of artillery on the shore. The total number of various artillery pieces was at least a thousand. Huang Degong cursed at that time:

"Shen Shikui, this madman..."

Shen Shikui, who had never expected to be rushed over, heard this and laughed loudly:

"You can't defend Pi Island without being a lunatic. Tieshan is too close to Pi Island. I'm going to use 500 artillery pieces to seal this place. As long as Jiannu dares to come, I guarantee that they will be crushed to pieces, haha..."

Huang Degong also laughed:

"What a madman. Can artillery be used as food? Quickly mobilize manpower to transport food to the other side of the sea. Dorgon was blasted away by Guo Xingye's artillery. He should be safe..."
