Dolgon watched with a blank face as the Ming army's iron cavalry departed.

Aobai, Jihar and other generals of the Eight Banners immediately surrounded him and asked.

"Regent, what did Ji Feng Nas say?"

More than a year ago, in order to force the Manchu Qing Dynasty to go to the emperor and claim the title of minister, Ji Feng led the army into the Manchu Qing Dynasty several times to fight with the Manchu Eight Banners, plus the same several battles in the Central Plains, so the people of the Manchu Eight Banners are the most familiar with Ji Feng among all the generals of the Ming Dynasty, and they are really old friends. However, for this old friend, all the people hated it, as can be seen from Ao Bai and others gritting their teeth and directly calling Ji Feng's name.

"The Cossack Khanate has been occupied by the Ming army first, and this is now the territory of the Ming Dynasty." Dolgon gritted his teeth and said with great patience.

"What!" Ao Bai waited for the generals of the Eight Banners to suddenly glared angrily.

"Da Ming deceives people too much! The Cossack cavalry was annihilated by my Qing Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty effortlessly sent troops behind the scenes to occupy the entire territory of the Cossacks, which is a clear insult to my Qing Dynasty! Ao Bai said angrily.

"Hateful! This is a great shame for the Eight Banners! ”

All the generals of the Eight Banners were angry, roaring again and again, and they couldn't wait to fight the Ming army immediately.

Angry, many generals of the Eight Banners looked at Dolgon, as long as Dolgon gave an order, they would not hesitate to rush into the Cossack territory to fight hard.

Dolgon also hated, but he knew better that impulse could only be self-defeating, and the current Qing Dynasty did not have the strength to compete with the Ming Dynasty, so he could only endure it.

"Okay, we can't turn our faces with Da Ming yet, Da Ming's strength is not something that the current Daqing can resist, for the future of Da Qing, everyone can only remember today's shame, one day, this king will take everyone back to wash it back!" Dolgon clenched his fists and said firmly.

This sentence has been said many times by Dorgon, and it has become his slogan to inspire the Eight Banners.

"Yes, Lord Regent!" Aobai, Jihar and other generals of the Eight Banners gritted their teeth, and Dolgon said so, and they could only suppress the anger in their hearts and say.

Since the Cossacks have been annexed by the Ming Dynasty first, entering the Cossack territory again will only cause unnecessary misunderstandings among the Ming Dynasty, so there is no need for Dolgon and other Qing cavalry to continue to stay here, and immediately under the leadership of Dolgon, turn the horse's head and return to the territory of the Manchu Dynasty.

In fact, the Manchus lost not only the Cossack Khanate, but also the rich steppes of the Aral Sea.

This was taken from the Cossacks three years ago, but today they have to watch the Ming occupy it as part of the Cossack territory, but even the Cossacks have been lost, and the steppes around the Aral Sea are nothing.

Dolgon led the Qing army to two major battles with the Ottoman Empire and the Cossack Khan, although they were victorious, but the Qing Dynasty did not get anything, but lost more than 100,000 soldiers in the two wars, and Dolgon was naturally unwilling to stop his army.

With the anger of the Ming army, Dolgon led the Qing cavalry back to the border with the Ottoman Empire in the northwest without stopping.

Two days later, the city of Urumiya, the Qing city closest to the Ottoman Empire, returned from the Cossack border with Dolgon and other Qing cavalry.

"The army will go on an expedition to attack the Ottoman Empire and seize Baghdad and the valley of the two rivers!"

After returning to the city of Urumiya, Dolgon immediately invaded the territory of the Ottoman Empire with 10,000 flintlock pipers of the Dragonbreaker Army, 10,000 Persian banners, and more than 70,000 cavalry, totaling nearly 100,000 troops.

Since the Qing Dynasty did not dare to turn against the Ming Dynasty, and could only be bullied by the Ming Dynasty, then this tone could only be taken back from the Ottoman Empire.

On April 20, the 11th year of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, Dolgon led the Qing army from Urumiyah and went straight to the city of Baghdad in the valley of the two rivers.

The valley of the two rivers around Baghdad was originally part of the Persian Empire, but was seized by the Ottoman Empire nine years ago. The two river basins are arguably the richest granaries in the Middle East, and their strategic position is extremely important, and it is important for Middle East hegemony, and this is where Dolgon's goal is.

The Ottoman Empire may be strong, but it has just been annihilated by 300,000 troops, and it has also been damaged, and Baghdad is only garrisoned by more than 10,000 Ottoman soldiers.

In just two days, the Qing army conquered four small cities in a row, and the mighty army came to the city of Baghdad.

Inside the city of Baghdad, the Ottoman generals defending the city looked terrified.

"Didn't you say that the Qing army would not invade the territory of my Ottoman Empire, why are they here again!" The Ottoman Baghdad guard said angrily.

The news of the defeat of 300,000 elite troops such as Getjevic has already spread into the territory of the Ottoman Empire, and if the Qing army wants to pursue the victory, it should directly enter the territory of the Ottoman Empire when the war is won, but due to the reason that the Cossack Khan took advantage of the fire to rob, Dolgon had to lead the Qing cavalry to meet the Cossack Khan, which lasted for many days, which caused the Ottoman Empire to think that the Qing army would not take the opportunity to attack the Ottoman Empire.

"Is there any news from the people sent to the imperial capital Istanbul to ask His Majesty for reinforcements?" The Ottoman Baghdad guard asked.

The two Ottoman generals next to him glanced at each other, and one of them stood up and replied, "General Hui, there is no news yet!" ”

In fact, the people sent to ask for help only walked for two days, and in such a short time, it was impossible to even arrive in Istanbul, how could there be news coming, and the Baghdad defenders were too urgent to ignore this.

"Boom, boom, boom" The city of Baghdad suddenly shook, and a large number of shells exploded inside the city.

The city's buildings were constantly bombed into ruins, and the entire city of Baghdad seemed to be shrouded in flames.

"Not good! It's the Qing army that has begun to attack the city! The Baghdad guard shouted in horror.

Indeed, the Qing army has already begun to attack Baghdad.

The walls of the citadel in Baghdad were undoubtedly the most heavily bombarded, with most of the cannons aimed directly at the walls of the citadel, with only a small number of cannons aimed at the city, further demoralizing the Ottoman defenders in the city.

Although the Qing army did not carry any siege vehicles and ladders to climb the city wall, it had more than 260 Shenwu cannons, and the siege power was no less than 800 red-coated cannons.

Apparently Dorgon was planning to collapse a section of the wall and then enter it with a large army.

"Bless your people, God of God!" The power of 800 red-coated cannons is comparable to that of such a fierce artillery fire, the Ottoman defenders in Baghdad have never even heard of it, and they are all frightened to death, they really don't know how to hold Baghdad under such fierce artillery fire.

The walls of the castle in Baghdad were not thick, and it was only half an hour before it was blown down.

"Kill!" Dorgon drew his saber and pointed forward!

"Boom" The Qing cavalry immediately rushed towards the collapsed gap.

Soon, the Qing cavalry was the first to enter the city, followed by the Persian infantry to clear the city of Ottoman defenders.

Because of the fierce artillery fire of the Qing army and the news that the 300,000 elite troops of Getyivich were annihilated by the Qing army a few days ago, the Ottoman defenders in Baghdad were already frightened, and they were unable to make any effective resistance in the face of the Qing troops who had rushed into the city.

Qing cavalry crossed every road, killing all Ottoman soldiers they came across.

Especially the soldiers of the Eight Banners, because they felt the deepest humiliation on Daming, they were all holding back their anger, and they couldn't understand the Ottoman language at all, even if there were Ottoman soldiers kneeling on the ground and surrendering, they would inevitably be slaughtered by them.

Of course, it was impossible for the defenders of the city of only more than 10,000 to resist the nearly 100,000 Qing army.

In less than an hour, the Ottoman soldiers in the city of Baghdad were swept away, and even the Ottoman guards were cut off by Aobai, and the Qing army completely controlled the city of Baghdad.

After capturing the city of Baghdad, the Qing army did not stop attacking, but continued to divide its forces to attack the surrounding small cities until they completely controlled the entire valley of the two rivers.

When the news reached Istanbul and the Ottoman Emperor reacted, the entire valley of the two rivers was controlled by the Qing army, and if the Ottoman Empire wanted to take it back, it could only mobilize heavy troops to attack again.

The Ottoman Emperor was furious, he had planned to do so, but was stopped by his ministers and lords.

The Ottoman Empire has lost 300,000 elite troops, although the huge empire is not enough to mobilize enough troops, but they still have to guard against European countries and the Tsarist Russian Empire, and the 300,000 elite troops of the Manchus who can defeat Getyivich also make them jealous, and they are not sure whether they will be able to defeat the Manchus if they send troops again.

After a hesitation, coupled with the resumption of conflict with the Tsarist Empire in the north, the Ottoman Empire's energy was suddenly drawn away, and in the end the Manchus could only occupy the two river valleys around Baghdad.

After several major battles in a row, although the Manchu Qing were one step behind the Ming Dynasty, they were taken by the Ming Dynasty, picked up the cheap, and failed to annex the Cossack Khanate. However, it captured the extremely rich valley of the two rivers in Baghdad, in terms of value, the valley of the two rivers was definitely above the Cossack Khanate, and the strength of the Manchus was not only not weakened by several major wars, but increased a lot, and in just one month, the Manchus organized more than 100,000 Persian banner infantry, as well as 30,000 or 40,000 servant cavalry.

After ruling the valley of the two rivers, the Manchus also carried out their shaving and obedience orders there.

Now the whole of Persia has accepted the so-called true God's will of the Manchus, giving up the previous halal clothes and changing into the clothes prescribed by the Manchus.

It is also because the two river basins originally belonged to the original Persian Empire, and when they were captured by the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman Empire had killed a group of people who dared to resist in order to stabilize its rule, so when it was the turn of the Manchus, the people of the two river basins were used to not resisting, so gradually, under the bloody high pressure of the Manchus, the people of the two river basins had to give in, and finally gave up their halal clothes and put on the clothes prescribed by the Manchus.

After conquering the two river valleys, the Manchus did not further expand their territory, but entered a period of recovery and digested the newly conquered two river valleys.
