Through the Jinyiwei, Ying Yi had an extremely detailed understanding of the Guanning Guards.

Since Zu Dashou surrendered to the Tartars, the strength of the Guanning Army has been greatly damaged, and its control has been transferred to the next generation of the remaining generals in Liaodong. Wu Sangui is the leader.

Moreover, the Ming court's Northeast Defense Line is now built with Shanhaiguan as the core. Most of the core figures such as Wu Sangui are in Shanhaiguan.

If Ying Yi wants to take down Shanhaiguan and even temporarily keep this line of defense, Wu Sangui and others are indispensable.

Because Ying Yi's troops were still too weak in terms of national scope. He personally led 6,000 troops and was confident that it was not a problem to take down Shanhaiguan, but he was unable to use these 6,000 troops to defend the long defense line for hundreds of miles.

Of course, you can give up defense and use offense instead of defense. Just like the southern line strategy that has been launched today.

However, after careful thinking of Ying Yi, the strategy of using attack instead of defense, found that it would be difficult to achieve success in Liaodong.

The enemy on the ground of Liaodong was the Tartars, and the Tartars were mainly cavalry. Moreover, after the Tartars' years of rampage, Liaodong became wide and sparsely populated, with 6,000 soldiers and horses. No matter how elite they were, once they were dispersed to the land of Liaodong, their strength would be quickly divided. Moreover, Ying Yi's troops were mainly infantry, and they had to deal with the Tartars on the empty Liaodong land, and they were not mobility enough.

Of course, you can also completely ignore the Tartars' soldiers and clench your fists and hit the Tartars' lair. However, Ying Yi felt that the time had not come.

The most powerful means to kill the Tartars and destroy all their troops. Otherwise, even if the Tartars' nests are destroyed, it will be a cure for symptoms but not the root cause.

It would be better to focus on the inner world and calm the land of Hebei. The Tartars must have the intention to enter the Central Plains now. Seeing Ying Yi's methods, they would definitely not be able to sit still. When the Tartars came to attack, Ying Yi made all preparations and fought for the full results in one battle, strangled the Tartars' all-out power.

In this way, the old Tartars nests and other things will not be slaughtered without the army?

In the early morning, Ying Yi stood on the low cliff at the Dongliang Haikou, looking at the red sun gradually rising from the sea level, and couldn't help looking north at the capital.

"What would Emperor Chongzhen do?"

...

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had already fallen on his instep and could not sit steadily.

In the half month after Ying Yi led his troops into Denglai, Zhu Bingkun, Zheng Jiu's Western Route Army, Zheng Wu, and Qian Yue's Eastern Route Army were already out of power and were almost about to reach the capital.

Zhu Bingkun crossed the river from Mengjin, broke three cities in one day and seven cities in two days. In just five days, he defeated Weihui Prefecture, Zhangde Prefecture and Huaiqing Prefecture, which were north of the river in Henan.

With the goal of attacking important towns in the prefecture, we went north without any distractions. On the sixth day, we entered Daming Mansion, on the tenth day, defeated Guangping Mansion, Shunde Mansion, and on the twelfth day, we defeated Zhending Mansion, and the troops headed directly to Baoding Mansion!

Behind Baoding Prefecture is Shuntian Prefecture, which is the capital.

Compared with Zhu Bingkun's journey, Zheng Wu's troops were a little slower.

Because the East Road has a smaller number of troops, and the East Road's Solizhou Prefecture is larger.

After Ying Yi defeated Hou Xun, Zheng Wu and others led their troops to Yanzhou Prefecture, defeating Yanzhou Prefecture, Qingzhou Prefecture, Jinan Prefecture, Dongchang Prefecture, and then went straight to Hejian Prefecture.

Compared to Zhu Bingkun, it is only half a step away, and it is not much different.

The troops established by the Ming court on the land of Hebei were long destroyed by Hou Xun. The yamen runners and militia organizations in various prefectures and prefectures could not cause any ripples in the face of Ying Yi's elite soldiers and generals.

Two large armies defeated the prefecture in half a month and exceeded the number of pairs of palms. There were twenty or thirty counties along the way. The militias were often defeated at once and could not afford any decent resistance.

However, if this were the case, Emperor Chongzhen would not be so panicked. After all, there were nearly 200,000 troops on the front line of Xuanda and Guanning. According to the usual approach, Xuanda and Guanning troops were divided into different ways, and then issued an edict to serve the king. In the mind of Emperor Chongzhen, he might not be able to rely on the city walls of the capital to support him.

What really made Chongzhen so anxious was the manifesto of destroying the Ming Dynasty.

The manifesto of destroying the Ming Dynasty directly rejected the Ming court's rule over the land of China, believing that its orthodox status had been lost, which was the biggest disaster.

Emperor Chongzhen knew what the situation in the Ming court over the years. It was precisely because he knew that the cruelty of this manifesto was clear at a glance.

Since the people have lost their hearts, if even the orthodox reputation is rejected, is there any possibility of the Ming Dynasty still exist?

"It is said that Tian Hong will come to see me quickly when he meets me!"

Chongzhen's face was dark, his whole body was trembling, and his voice became a little hoarse.

Wang Chengen bowed silently and retreated. Soon after, Tian Hong met him.

Emperor Chongzhen grabbed a jade seal and smashed it over. Tian Hongyu instinctively avoided it, which made Emperor Chongzhen even more angry and shouted: "Dog Cai, you dare to avoid it!"

Tian Hongyu looked pale and knelt down with a thud: "Your Majesty, you can spare me!"

Wang Chengen quickly bowed and walked over and whispered: "Your Majesty, don't be upset, now is the time to borrow the Jinyiwei..."

Emperor Chongzhen held his anger when he heard this, took a deep breath, grabbed a proclamation and threw it in front of Tian Hongyu: "Dog, don't say you don't know!"

Tian Hongyu was lying on the ground, glanced at the crooked manifesto, and secretly took a breath in his heart. He knocked his head and cried, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! My little master knows. When the Jinyiwei received the news the day before yesterday, he had already sent out a cavalry to guard against the people's chaos. My little master has not slept in the past few days..."

Emperor Chongzhen saw that the eyes were blue and black, and he couldn't help but feel soft and said, "Then how did you place your dog?! He actually made evil words fill the capital?"

Tian Hongyu knelt down and said, "I dare not report to Your Majesty!"

Chongzhen was stunned and suddenly became silent. Tian Hongyu did not report the matter in time, which made him know only today. However, is there only one civil and military officer in the court?

Even the auxiliary minister of the cabinet never talked about this in front of him.

For a moment, Chongzhen couldn't help but feel cold.

He waved his hand powerlessly: "Get down, you can clear this matter within five days. If it fails, come and see you."

Tian Hong kowtowed hard and slowly withdrew.

After Tian Hong retreated, a small eunuch quickly wiped the blood. Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen at this time: "See you, are I wrong at the beginning?"

Wang Chengen was stunned and couldn't help but raise his head.

Then he heard Emperor Chongzhen say, "I have first ascended the great treasure. With the help of the ministers, I punished Wei Zhongxian, even the Jinyiwei and the East Factory...if... I would not be so passive today."

Wang Chengen was silent when he heard this and said for a long time: "Wei Zhongxian deceived the emperor and suppressed the people. Your Majesty punished him to follow the heavens and respond to others. How could he get the wrong?"

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help laughing and laughing, saying, "Forget it, you will comfort people."

Then he cheered up and said, "Where has the thief gone now?"

The Jinyiwei was not as decent as possible, and only the Dongchang was restored in recent years under the leadership of Wang Chengen. In many cases, Emperor Chongzhen could not rely on the Jinyiwei and could only rely on the Dongchang's suspicion.

Wang Chengen pursed his lips and said, "I have arrived in Baoding all the way and reached Hejian all the way."

"It's so fast." Chongzhen sighed and sneered: "I'm sure to be the leader of the Xia tribe with the great righteousness of my ancestors. Hey, what a great courage. No wonder I didn't accept the general of Huguang. It turned out that it was a wolfish ambition."
