With such a big noise, the news naturally spread very quickly. The news on Fengyang Mansion and Yingtian Mansion quickly learned the news, and at the same time, the news was urgently delivered to Yangzhou Mansion.

Zhang Mingwei had more information and knew that Li Zicheng's real purpose was actually Sichuan. However, he didn't know whether Li Zicheng would change his mind. In addition, he was also unknown to what was going on in Sichuan.

In short, in this ancient times, due to the backwardness of transportation and communication, Zhang Mingwei, who came from later generations, felt very inconvenient.

After staying in Yangzhou Prefecture for nearly half a month, Zhang Huangyan had already sorted out the matter of the Transportation Commission. At the same time, the troops that marched to Jiangnan for a long distance were also rested.

Therefore, Zhang Mingwei ordered that Jin Zhensun, under the Beijing system, lead two thousand infantry troops to continue to station in Yangzhou Prefecture, nominally defend Yangzhou Prefecture from being attacked by bandits, but in fact, it was to support Zhang Huangyan and shock possible counterattack.

Then, he led the army westward and officially began the battle against Zhang Xianzhong and Ge Zuo Fifth Battalion.

After this period of research, Zhang Mingwei is actually a little troubled.

When Li Zicheng was attacked before, because Li Zicheng had already become a big shot, he had a much stronger force than Luo Rucai's troops. Moreover, Li Zicheng already had great ambitions and began to establish a local regime. For this reason, he wanted to wipe him out, so he fought the Kaifeng Battle.

This kind of war was what Zhang Mingwei hoped most. Therefore, although he won a great victory in the battle, Li Zicheng's troops ran away with the elite, which still gave him a headache.

Now that he has a reputation and his troops are stronger, Zhang Mingwei is even more troubled when dealing with Zhang Xianzhong and Ge Zuo Fifth Battalion who are weaker than Li Zicheng.

What he fears most is what he most, and is the one who fears most is the one who fights movements and fights guerrilla warfare with him.

Zheng Eryang, who was the governor of An, Lu, Chi, and Tai (abian Fu) of the Ming Dynasty at that time, wrote to him to report the situation of the Fifth Camp of the Left, saying, "The cleverness of the Left is no less than the Eight Kings, and there are more than tens of thousands of people who can fight well. The most important thing is that the Fifth Camp of the Left mainly relies on the Dabie Mountains (known in history as Yinghuo Mountain District). The situation in that area is dangerous and occupies an important strategic position.

If the Fifth Camp of the Left of Ge will face east, it will correspond to Tianfu, that is, Nanjing, and in the northeast, it will be able to go straight to Fengyang Imperial Tomb. It will be not far from the bandits of the Eight Kings in the west, and can join forces to resist the imperial army at any time.

In his report to Zhang Mingwei, Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo also introduced the situation of the Fifth Camp of the Left, saying that the Fifth Camp of the Left was very cunning, good at buying local people as spies, and most of the people of Xingbu City were used. Most of the officers and soldiers were trapped, and fewer of them were waiting for the enemy. If the mountains and clear fields were searched, they would stick out of the suburbs and the plains were arranged and they would be in danger. The thieves were the main ones, and the soldiers would become guests, so they would be defeated.

To sum up, it is actually just a sentence. These thieves have fought for so many years and have already achieved great success, which is exactly the same as the famous guerrilla warfare essence in later generations.

If we develop according to the original history, even without the plague in the capital, the Ming Dynasty would most likely not be able to destroy these thieves. And as time goes by, people's hearts will be lost sooner or later.

However, these people in ancient times had no good solutions for guerrilla warfare, but Zhang Mingwei had them.

What is the war in the south? It’s time for the two armies to fight.

………………………………………

At the same time, far away from Liaodong, Jianlu had already gathered troops, including Korean soldiers, and was also recruited and allocated 20,000 musket soldiers.

However, the morale of the North Korean musketeers was too low and their quality was not good. Huang Taiji was worried that if these 20,000 musketeers marched for a long distance, they would probably fall on the way halfway. Therefore, he arranged this part of the troops to defend the city in Jinzhou, Ningyuan.

As for the troops from the eastern Mongolian troops, a total of 30,000 cavalry came. Together with the Eight Mongolian Banners of Jianlu and the cavalry on Jianlu's own side, Huang Taiji really invested in the capital and gathered about 60,000 cavalry.

When expeditioning to Qin, we had to enter the pass from Shaanxi. The journey was too long and the infantry was too time-consuming. Now, taking advantage of the high and fat autumn horses, we would not only save time, but also save a lot of food and grass.

Stimulated by the huge prospect, Huang Taiji's health has improved a lot. Perhaps only by entering the Central Plains can he be brought back from the sadness of losing Hai Lanzhu.

While getting along with Hong Chengchou almost inseparable from it, Huang Taiji almost knew the situation in Shaanxi. He pondered every step of the strategy of Shaanxi and how to capture the world with Shaanxi as the foundation.

In the end, he decided to lead the army to the expedition himself, and as for the Liaodong headquarters, he left Daishan's disciples.

On this day, Huang Taiji led the heads of Mongolian tribes and a large group of leaders under him to hold a grand expedition ceremony to worship the Taimiao, seeking blessing from their ancestors and shamans, and then ordered 60,000 cavalrymen to set out to the border in a mighty manner and detoured the Mongolian grassland.

The Jianlu in Shengjing City, regardless of gender, age, all went out to see him off.

Looking at the back of the army heading for war, some people were worried and some were excited.

"This expedition is different from the past. Is it necessary to seize the Qin territory of Ming Dynasty? Can it be done?"

"What can't be done? The master led the army himself. He lost that time?"

"That's right, in the past, we didn't dare to go to the pass. As a result, it seemed that when the two major bells were all opposed, the master was not strongly encouraged to enter the pass! Now, entering the pass is just like playing. Going once will be a big gain!"

"That's right, don't worry, the master will personally fight, there is absolutely no problem!"

"I will tell you, didn't the Battle of Songjin capture Hong Chengchou, the governor of Ji Liao of Ming Dynasty? He used to be the governor of Qin for a long time and knew the truth and reality of Qin best. If he was the leader, what else should he worry about?"

"If our Qing Dynasty really can occupy Qin territory and then gain the world, haha, I will be crazy about being happy!"

"That's not. You can carry a cage and bird to go out to play every day. There are tens of thousands of servants at home serving you. Those Han women will sleep when they see that beautiful one. Wow, I really want to have that day!"

“…”

After talking about it, most of the Jianlu gave up their doubts and no longer worried. Because Huang Taiji had never let them fail, they became stronger day by day under the leadership of Huang Taiji. This is a fact.

Therefore, outside Shengjing City, the crowds that were reluctant to disperse for a long time were basically laughing and dreaming.

Zu Dashou was also among the crowd who saw him off, looking at the backs of the 60,000 cavalrymen and listening to the excited discussions coming from his ears. Although he kept a smile on his face, in fact, he was not in a good mood.

I wonder if Wu Sangui can receive the secret letter I sent before.

In his opinion, with Hong Chengchou helping Huang Taiji, Qin would be really likely to be lost.

As far as he knew, the 60,000 cavalry in Qin should not be able to stop it. The remaining key is whether the people on the Qin side will be won over by Huang Taiji and thus serve Huang Taiji.

If he surrendered to Huang Taiji, then Qin would really have changed hands!

And the Qin land changed its lord, and the Ming Dynasty's world...

Thinking of this, Zu Dashou was a little afraid to think about it.

It was said that the Ming Dynasty would destroy the country. Although it was a chaotic autumn in the past, he never thought that there would be this day. At least in his opinion, he felt that he could not see this day.

However, not only did Hong Chengchou defeat all 130,000 Ming troops in the Battle of Songjin, but he also surrendered to Jianlu, carefully planning for Jianlu, and using the fact that the emptiness of Qin is now confirmed as a breakthrough. Is the Ming Dynasty really going to destroy its country?

Huang Taiji has been dealing with Zu Dashou for a lot, so he knows very well.

As far as people are concerned, Huang Taiji is much more powerful than Nurhaci before. Under the threat of 60,000 cavalry, it seems that it is not difficult to turn the defeated army into the use of building the enemy with Huang Taiji's means.

Thinking of this, Zu Dashou's mood became very bad and he sighed deeply.

I have tried my best, hoping that the secret letter I sent will be in the hands of Wu Sangui. If the court knew about this in advance and was wary of it, I believe that it would not be so easy for Huang Taiji to take Shaanxi!

The mood affected his expression, and the smile on his face disappeared without realizing it. His face was a little heavy.

Dai Shan just turned around and looked over. Seeing Zu Dashou seemed unhappy, he was immediately unhappy and immediately asked Zu Dashou: "What, are you worried about Ming Kingdom?"

Hearing this, everyone around him looked at him and suddenly, a large number of eyes were staring at Zu Dashou.

When Zu Dashou saw it, he was shocked and quickly denied it: "Of course not. Mo Jiang was thinking that before the Tumote tribe invaded the border of Ming State, this matter would inevitably cause the emperor of the founding country to be furious. There will definitely be remedial measures to prevent the Tumote tribe from entering the pass again to rob. This means that the Qin area of ​​Ming State should be prepared. Therefore, Mo Jiang was a little worried, this was a labor force for the expedition..."

This reason is also reasonable. After hearing this, Dai Shan smiled and said, "In front of the 60,000 cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, what if the Ming Dynasty is prepared?"

"Master, wise and powerful, when did you suffer the loss from Mingguo?" The traitor Ning Wan also smiled and agreed, "You are worrying about nothing!"

After hearing this, Zu Dashou quickly reviewed himself and said with a smile: "I am worried about it too much! Master will definitely be able to send good news soon!"

When Dai Shan heard him change his words, he nodded and ignored him. Because Shanhaiguan was no longer guarded by the Zu family, Zu Dashou lost the greatest use, so he was too lazy to pay attention to it.
