In the central army commander's tent, everyone burst into laughter.

Xie Qian said: "Your Highness, now that the Tartars are divided, we should take this opportunity to break Shanhaiguan and recover Beijing!"

Zhang Guangcui and others were excited and agreed, "Yes, regain Beijing!"

Zhang Guangcui was a veteran of the Shun class. When Ajige raided Jiangbei, he was taken to Jiangdong with Li Guo and later reorganized into a former army.

For Shun generals, Beijing was once their most glorious moment and the most shameful moment.

Now that I have been wandering around, I am approaching Beijing again, and I feel all of them feel emotion.

The morale of the generals was high, but Zhang Jiayu, the army joined the army, said: "Thank you, Governor, we only have 30,000 troops, and even if we conquer Shanhaiguan, it will be difficult to recover Beijing."

At that time, the Qing army took advantage of the civil turmoil in the Ming Dynasty and relied on Wu Sangui's surrender and relied on more than 100,000 Eight Banners soldiers to successfully enter the pass.

Zhao Ming has only 30,000 people now, which is obviously worth it. It is unlikely to regain Beijing.

After all, the Wu Yue army had just recovered Liaozhong and western Liaoning. These places were vast and sparsely populated, and could not provide supplies and troops to the Wu Yue army. The front line was too long, so there was no strength to occupy Beijing again.

Zhao Ming nodded slightly, "Zhang Zongjun's words are reasonable! It is too early to say that Beijing is recovered. Ajige and Fulin both need hundreds of thousands of troops, and these 30,000 people alone cannot occupy Beijing."

In fact, Zhao Ming now has an army of 250,000, but most of them are in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions and cannot be mobilized to the north in a short period of time. The navy of Wu and Yue Kingdom did not have the ability to transport hundreds of thousands of people.

Xie Qian couldn't help but say, "Your Highness's intention, can you stop here? The army has not gained any benefits!"

The military was in the early lunar month, and the climate was severely cold. The soldiers of the Wu Yue army worked hard. Although the army broke through Jinzhou and occupied Ningyuan, these places were destroyed by the Qing Dynasty earlier, and there were basically no people and no supplies were reserved. The Wu Yue army had very little gains, which was far from consumption.

According to the previous rules of the Wu Yue Army, the army seized, 70% of them were returned to the vassal treasury, and 30% were used to reward the soldiers.

There are no gains now, and the soldiers naturally cannot get anything other than the rewards they should pay and the rewards they should give to the vassal state.

Zhao Ming smiled and said, "Of course we can't stop here!"

When everyone heard the words, they were immediately excited and looked at Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming said: "In the middle of Liao, western Liaoning needed a large population. The civil strife of the Qing Dynasty was a great opportunity for me to stretch out my hand. In this Hebei area, Tartar manors were everywhere, so I naturally wanted to plunder some of them."

Back then, during the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Tartars invaded six times, and each time they abducted more than 100,000 people, hundreds of thousands of livestock, and countless money and food.

Now that the Qing Dynasty is weak, it's time to change its position.

Xie Qian heard the words: "I am ready to capture Shanhaiguan and enter the pass!"

Zhao Ming waved his hand, "You can't go to Shanhaiguan. If you fight hard, you will attract Ajige's attention. Now, I should let Ajige and Fulin fight to the death with confidence!"

Xie Qian couldn't help but wonder, "Don't you fight Shanhaiguan?"

Zhao Ming nodded and said, "Go to Jiangbei, invite the King of Lu to send troops, and then send orders to Wang Jing, asking the government to mobilize troops and take over Jiangbei to collect Shandong."

As he said that, Zhao Ming glanced at the generals, "Gu and you all entered Hebei by the sea! Gu helped Ajige win, and he should pay Gu some money!"

...

At Shanhaiguan, He Luo led 10,000 Qing troops to the front of the pass.

Tong Tulai, who guarded Shanhaiguan, led many subordinates to greet him.

This turmoil within the Qing Dynasty caused great harm to the Qing Dynasty, and Ajige's proclaimed emperor caused ideological chaos within the Qing Dynasty.

One son of Taizong and the other son of Taizu were both surnamed Aisin Gioro, which made it difficult for ministers loyal to the Qing Dynasty to stand by.

When Fulin evacuated Beijing, he ordered the Shanhaiguan defenders to follow him to retreat west into Shanxi, let Zhao Ming enter the pass and deal with Ajige, but Tong Tulai hesitated.

Shanhaiguan is the gateway to Hebei. The Qing Dynasty was able to occupy the Central Plains because it controlled Shanhaiguan.

If Shanhaiguan was given to Wu Yue army, it would undoubtedly lead the wolf into the house, and he would be despised by the Qing nobles.

After the Qing army entered the pass, they occupied land. More than 90% of the land in Hebei were all manors and flag fields of the bannermen. The Tong family also had a large number of manors, so how dare he let Zhao Ming enter the pass?

Furthermore, if Zhao Ming was released into the pass, Ajige was unprepared and suffered a great defeat, the loss would be the strength of the Qing Dynasty.

The Tong family was known as the Tong Ban Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, and the family was bound to the fate of the Qing Dynasty.

Tong Tulai and some traitors actually didn't want to see them, and Fulin and Ajige killed each other.

I even complained that you Aisin Gioro's family can fight for you, don't destroy the Qing Dynasty, we don't want to be together.

Furthermore, Fulin left urgently, Shanhaiguan was in northeastern Beijing. He received news that Ajige had arrived in Beijing and it was too late to withdraw.

Therefore, Tong Tulai did not accept Fulin's will, but stayed at Shanhaiguan.

"Tong Gushan!" He Luo came forward with a smile on his face.

When Tong Tulai saw He Luohui, he breathed a sigh of relief, "I will breathe a sigh of relief when reinforcements arrive!"

He Luohui asked: "Don't worry, Tong Gushan, Emperor Zhao Zamao is defeated, the emperor sent me here, he will rest and step over Shanhaiguan."

Tong Tulai nodded, "I'll feel relieved."

He Luohui asked: "Have Zhao Zamao worked hard recently?"

Tong Tulai shook his head, "It's just stationed outside the military gate and has never attacked!"

He Luohui nodded, then smiled and said, "Hmph, Zhao Zamao is quite self-aware. He has only 30,000 people and he dare not come to die!"

After the two talked for a while, Tong Tulai led He Luohui to pass the pass. At this moment, a team of horses outside the pass returned from outside the city.

There were heavy artillery at Shanhai Pass. The Wu Yue army set up camp five miles away from the city of Guancheng, but did not block the gate. Tong Tulai often sent cavalry out of the city to spy on it.

"The barbarian retreats! The barbarian retreats!" As soon as the scout entered the door, he yelled.

There was a commotion in the city of Guan, and the Qing soldiers rushed to the walls of Weng and looked down.

He Luohui and Tong Tu Lai Gang climbed to Guancheng. He couldn't help but look at each other when he heard the sound, and were surprised! Where is Zhao Zamao?

Logically speaking, with Zhao Zamao's character, he learned that the Great Qing Dynasty was empty and civil strife would have to take advantage of your illness to kill you. How could he suddenly evacuate?

"Then who, come up!" Tong Tulai walked to the edge of Weng City and shouted loudly.

The cavalry who entered the pass looked up and found Tong Tulai. After entering the pass, they hurriedly turned over and got off the horse, and then trotted from the steps to climb the pass.

"Gushan!" The scout knelt on the ground to pay his respects.

"Where do you think Zhao Zamao's feelings?" Tong Tulai asked in a hurry.

"Report to Gushan, it is indeed withdrawn! The slave led his troops out of the city to investigate, and the barbarian camp was empty!" The scout replied excitedly.

Tong Tulai was still a little unbelievable, but He Luohui smiled and said, "Haha... it must be Zhao Zamao who came here, and he realized that he couldn't get a good deal, so he retreated."

Tong Tulai worried, "Is this a trick to lure the enemy?"

He Luo would laugh and shake his head, "I will not leave the custody yet, Zhao Zamao lures a chicken? If Tong Gushan is not at ease, he can send someone to check it out."

At this moment, Tong Tulai sent cavalry out of the pass to investigate. At noon, the scout rushed back and found that there was no trace of the Wu Yue army.
