The entire battle of Liaodong lasted until the end of October, when the first year of combat was completed, in the half-year two-way operation from April to October.

Under the leadership of Luo Li, and with the cooperation of a large number of Mongolian cavalry, the Left Route Army successfully recovered a large area of land west of the Liao River and the Sancha River, and almost slaughtered the Jiannu in this area. carried the head of Jiannu to the Great Chinese Army to serve.

At the end of July, after the Right Route Army broke through the city of Jinzhou, which was known as impregnable by Jiannu, under the leadership of Li Xin and Diao Zheng, it attacked the hinterland of Liaodong from south to north, and pulled the Korean servant army to continuously attack Liaodong from east to west.

Although before the heavy snow closed the road in October, the two roads were not able to attack the Shengjing of Jiannu, but the results of this year's offensive still made Xiao Tianjian quite satisfied, the entire Liaodong Peninsula basically fell back into the hands of the Han people in this half a year, a large number of Jiannu entrenched on the Liaodong Peninsula were either killed, or fled back to the hinterland of Liaodong, so that the control area of Jiannu was greatly reduced, and was compressed into the hinterland of Liaodong, whether by land or sea, they were completely cut off from the opportunity to trade with the outside of the Great Chinese Army, which also makes them completely deprived of the possibility of getting North Korean grain.

In addition to requisitioning tens of thousands of people to assist the Dazhong Army in waging war against Jiannu, the Korean State also mobilized soldiers and horses to serve the Dazhong Army to fight against Jiannu, and even mobilized a large amount of grain and straw materials to support the actions of the Dazhong Army, so that Dazhong and Korea avoided a lot of logistical troubles in the supply of grain and straw for the army on the right route.

Over the years, Jiannu has bullied all the surrounding tribes in Liaodong, and now after the Dazhong Army sings all the way back to Liaodong, the surrounding tribes here have also seen the weakness and predicament of Jiannu.

When Jiannu was strong, with a huge military advantage, these tribes did not dare to resist, but at this time, Jiannu sadly found that they were surrounded by enemies, and many tribes who were originally very obedient to them actually abandoned the identity of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and escaped from their control, and returned to the mountains to watch the limelight.

After a whole year of conquest, Jiannu's pockets were even more deflated, and unlike the previous Jiannu war, this time Jiannu belonged to the outright losing side, they could no longer enjoy any war dividends, and it was no longer possible to obtain slaves for them through war.

In addition to losing a large amount of controlled land, even the land they did not lose was also because of the restlessness of the Han slaves and the large number of flag soldiers who were drawn to fight, so that the grain harvest of Jiannu this year was very poor.

By the time the first heavy snow began to fall in October, news of a sharp rise in food prices came from Shengjing.

Once upon a time, food outside the Guanxi was also very scarce, and Jiannu used troops continuously, firstly, to loot the grain property of the Han people outside the Guanwai, but to buy grain from the interior through the gold and silver property obtained.

Many unscrupulous merchants of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Jin merchants, were tempted by high profits to hoard grain in the Guannei and then transfer it to the Guanwai to sell it to Jiannu.

On the contrary, due to the climate, there were many disasters and famines, and the grain was transported out of the customs in large quantities by traitors and merchants, resulting in a large outbreak of peasant armies in the Guannai, especially in Shaanxi.

But when this year is the fourth year of Tianyuan, if you calculate according to the old trajectory of history, then it is the winter of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, for Jiannu, they can no longer obtain food through this means.

History is so ironic, if according to the historical development process of the old time and space, this year also happened to be the time when Jiannu entered the pass, and the Qing army entered the pass with a large army, and embarked on the process of conquering the entire Central Plains continent.

However, after the appearance of Xiao Tianjian, the historical process has undergone earth-shaking changes, the Ming Dynasty collapsed more than three years ahead of schedule under the urging of the Dazhong Army, and the Qing Army did not be able to seize the land of Yanyun as desired, but was defeated and lost by the Dazhong Army in the Shanhaiguan area, and the turtle retreated back to Liaodong.

After three years passed, the Dazhong Army began the conquest of Jiannu in Liaodong in accordance with Xiao Tianjian's original oath, although it was one year later than the two years that Xiao Tianjian expected, but it finally came.

Jiannu finally tasted the bitterness of the losers, and when the winter of this year came, they began to walk into their desperation.

But what is strange is that Huang Taiji, a guy who has been sick since a few years ago, insisted on this time, and did not suddenly burp in August of this year as in history.

However, in October, Huang Taiji finally finished his brilliant and tragic life, and died in the Qing Palace in Shengjing on the evening of the tenth day of October.

In the past six months, in the face of the attack of the Great Chinese Army, Dolgon and Huang Taiji have temporarily given up the internal struggle for power, and concentrated their forces to prevent the Great Chinese Army from attacking their Jiannu.

But in the face of successive defeats, when entering October, Huang Taiji still felt that he could no longer hold on, because Haoge was defeated and disappeared after entering the customs in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, and it was impossible to succeed to the throne, so before he died, he issued a decree to pass on the throne to his eldest son, that is, his fourth son Aixinjue Luo Yebushu, so that he could inherit the throne and continue to rule his so-called Great Qing Kingdom.

History has completely changed the trajectory, because of various great changes, the Shunzhi Emperor has not been able to inherit the throne, and the emperor Shunzhi will no longer appear in history.

After the death of Huang Taiji's fourth son, Ye Bushu, succeeded to the throne in Shengjing and became the emperor, and changed the yuan to Shunde on the same day, becoming the second emperor of Jiannu, known as the Shunde Emperor in history.

Dolgon fled back to Liaoyang because of the successive defeats, and did not dare to enter Shengjing to face the saint, so he did not dare to participate in the struggle for the throne, but as soon as Huang Taiji died, he still united with Jiannu among the forces inclined to him, and entered Beijing in the name of Huang Taiji's funeral and meeting the new emperor, forcing the Shunde Emperor who had just succeeded to the throne to recognize his position in Jiannu and grant him the regent, to unify the dispatch of troops and horses to resist the "invasion" of the Dazhong army.

But no matter how they tossed, this winter was destined to be a difficult winter for Jiannu, and the serious food shortage of Jiannu led to a large number of Jiannu and their slaves starving to death after the winter.

In order to survive, a large number of Jiannu enslaved slaves had to rebel or find a way to escape, forcing Dolgon to send troops everywhere all day to suppress this rebellion.

Because of the lack of food, it also led to the stagnation of Jiannu's mining, and a large number of miners either rebelled and grabbed grain, or were starved to death, or fled into the deep mountains and old forests, and the craftsmen could not start work, which made Jiannu's life even more difficult.

They could have relied on craftsmen in Shengjing and Liaoyang to build weapons for them to replenish their military needs, but by this time, they could no longer sustain themselves.

Although after the winter, the large and medium armies stopped their offensive actions and turned to shrink their forces and move into local defense, but their actions had broken the backbone of Jiannu, and the rest was to rely on the severe cold of Liaodong to carry out the final blow to Jiannu.

Although it is also very difficult for the Dazhong Dynasty to maintain this year's Liaodong Expedition, after all, the Dazhong Dynasty has now pacified the southern provinces and obtained more resources to support this protracted war, and there are hundreds of large ships in terms of materials to continuously provide supplies to the Liaodong armies, so their situation is better than that of Jiannu I don't know how many times, at least after the Liaodong armies enter the winter, there is no problem to have a full stomach.

Before the arrival of the severe cold, the household department and the military department united, mobilized coastal military and civilian ships, and transported a large amount of grain to Liaodong, which was transferred to various places and hoarded for the use of the army for wintering, and the northern expedition also used the northern generals as much as possible, and after the winter, a large number of soldiers who were not very suitable for the cold climate in the north were withdrawn to the Shandong area to rest and recuperate, so a winter basically did not cause too much frostbite and frostbite, and the non-war attrition was not as serious as initially expected.

Especially during the early war, the Dazhong army obtained a huge amount of backlog of skins from the construction of slaves, and after the winter on, the armies used these skins to cut a large number of leather clothes to supply the soldiers from the cold, and at the same time built thick barracks on the spot for the soldiers of the Dazhong army to keep out the cold, and drove the prisoners to chop firewood for the Dazhong army to accumulate salaries, and supply the soldiers for heating.

Therefore, under the full preparation for the war, this winter allowed the large and medium army to spend relatively easily, and it did not affect the combat effectiveness of the large and medium army.

Especially after the announcement of the ban on the opening of the sea, the fishery in the coastal area has developed very rapidly in the past two years, and the coastal people in various places have built their own fishing boats to go out to sea to fish, and also provided a large number of seafood for the military, these catches were pickled and transported to Liaodong in large quantities for the soldiers and men of the army to eat, reducing the consumption of livestock meat, and at the same time providing valuable protein and fat intake for the soldiers and generals of the military, ensuring the wintering of the military.
