Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 361. 361. The British Duke Arrived in Liaodong, Prince Zheng Was Angry

Dongchang Fort.

This is a fortress that has long been abandoned, with overgrown weeds and a dilapidated scene.

Nothing infested here except rats and bugs.

A mighty Ming army arrived here and set up camp on the flat ground outside Dongchang Fort.

This Ming army was quite capable, and the camp was formed extremely quickly. At the same time, a large number of ranger sentries were released to guard around.

This is the main force of the Ming army led by British Duke and Li Guozhen.

Dozens of cavalry surrounded Ying Gong and Li Guozhen and entered Dongchang Fort.

The British prince looked left and right, with a calm expression, but the excitement in his heart could be vaguely seen.

"Uncle Xiangcheng, this is the first camp to the east of the Liaohe River. Once you arrive here, you have truly entered Liaodong!"

Listening to the words of British Duke, not only Li Guozhen, but everyone present became excited.

Over the past few years, although the Ming Dynasty must claim to counterattack Liaodong, in fact, the real wars were carried out in the Liaoxi Corridor controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

People from Daming haven't set foot on the land of Liaodong for many years!
Li Guozhen said with a smile: "With the help of His Royal Highness, we not only regained the whole of Liaoxi, but also counterattacked Liaodong. It is very fortunate!"

In the past half a month or so, the British Duke and Li Guozhen led the Ming army to advance all the way, regaining the entire Liaoxi Corridor and all the boundaries of Liaoxi including Ningyuan and Jinzhou in one fell swoop.

Today, the battle line has been pushed directly to the real core area of ​​the Manchu and Qing Dynasties - the Liaodong Peninsula!
The British Duke laughed loudly and said: "Nurhachi captured Shenyang back then, and the Ming Dynasty was completely defeated in Liaodong. In the following decades, none of the Ming soldiers were able to enter this place."

"Today, I'm waiting to lead the soldiers here, and I'm proud of those ancestors who worked so hard to build Dongchang Fort. Come here, bring me some joss sticks and wine!"

A while later, in the middle of the school grounds of Dongchangbao, Ying Gong and Li Guozhen lit candles and placed a few glasses of wine and some freshly prepared cooked meat.

The British Duke raised his wine glass and spoke very seriously.

"Seniors, I waited for the younger generation of Ming Dynasty to counterattack to this point today, and soon we will perish and build slaves. I also ask the seniors to know under the Nine Springs, bless us, and bless Daming!"

After finishing speaking, the Duke of England poured all the wine in the wine glass to the ground.

The smoke from incense sticks curls up, straight up to the sky, and stands out against the blue sky.

After the sacrifice, Ying Gong and Li Guozhen returned to the camp and started a new discussion around a map.

Li Guozhen's expression was a little dignified, and he said: "British Lord, we have attacked all the way to this point. Although we have regained the entire western Liaoning, we are also suspected of advancing alone."

"If Dorgon suddenly returns to Ningyuan and Jinzhou and reoccupies these two cities, then our army's retreat will be cut off."

"At that time, our army will be very passive. So my opinion is to slow down the next offensive and send more troops to consolidate the back road in western Liaoning is the best policy."

Listening to Li Guozhen's words, the British Duke also nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Actually, Uncle Xiangcheng's opinion is quite good, but there is one thing, I think I still want to remind Uncle Xiangcheng."

Li Guozhen wondered: "I don't know what the Duke is talking about?"

The British Duke stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the northern top of the map, and said with a serious expression: "We are not attacking alone this time. On this Monan grassland, His Royal Highness is still buying us time!"

"Along the way, the reason why our army's war is so smooth is that the powerful Hongyi cannon has its credit, but the most important thing is that His Royal Highness firmly restrained the main force of Jiannu Dorgon in the prairie superior."

"Now if we suddenly slow down our attack speed, then it will be a waste of the opportunity His Royal Highness the Crown Prince created for us, understand?"

"Of course the old man knows that we are advancing alone now, but we have no other choice now."

"We must use this resolute attitude to attack and move forward. We must shock and fear the high-level officials on the side of Jiannu Shenyang, so that we can help His Royal Highness to open up the situation, and then we can achieve a response from the north and the south, and finally win the victory." result!"

Listening to the British Duke's firm words, Li Guozhen was silent for a while and nodded slowly.

"Since this is the case, then General has nothing to say, only one request."

"I don't know what request Xiangcheng Bo has?"

"If we can really attack Shenyang City, please give me a chance to go to the Hongyi Cannon and shoot it with your own hands!"

The British prince was stunned for a few seconds and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Okay, the old man will be with you when the time comes, and hit him hard!"

In front of the two of them, the setting sun was gradually setting.

In the newly built barracks, there was laughter.

"Down with Shenyang and destroy the slave dogs!"

In the night, the slogan was loud.

Shenyang, or Shengjing as it was called in the Qing Dynasty.

Although night had fallen, the palace of the Qing Dynasty was brightly lit.

All the ministers who were still in the city gathered together, and the expressions on everyone's faces were very ugly.

Dorgon was not there, so of course the person who presided over this meeting became Ji Erhalang.

Ji Erhalang knocked on the table in front of him, and said extremely dissatisfied: "This Duoduo, obviously still has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, but he knows how to retreat every day!"

"He has already returned to Liaodong from Shanhaiguan, but I want to know if he wants to retreat to Shenyang, to Changbai Mountain!"

"If he can't fight, then stand back and let someone who can fight fight!"

Jierhalang's voice was very loud and echoed in the hall, but there were very few people who responded.

This made Jierharang obviously embarrassing, his jaw kept shaking and he roared.

"The Ming army is about to hit Shengjing soon. At that time, I want to see if you can still sit on the Diaoyutai like this!"

Jierharang's words finally had an effect, and someone spoke slowly.

"I don't know what advice Prince Zheng has? Replacing Prince Yu requires orders from His Majesty and the Queen Mother, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

Jierhalang said coldly: "Since you don't agree to replace Doduo, then transfer all the savages from Ninggu Tower, and hand over all the troops in Shengjing City to the old man's command."

"Otherwise, if one day the city of Shengjing falls, this old man will not be held responsible!"

"Also, hurry up and call that guy Dorgon back, Shengjing City will be surrounded by the Ming army, and he's still playing hide-and-seek with that Zhu Cihong every day in the grassland!"

"If you don't agree, then you can find a way on your own, and don't come to the old man, the assistant king!"

After a long silence, many ministers who discussed the state affairs began to express their views accordingly.

"I agree."

"I think it's okay."

"Just do it!"

Hearing the voices of approval, Ji Erhalang also showed a joyful expression on his face.

These days, you can have nothing, but you absolutely can't live without military power!
