Now he and Chongzhen and the monarchs of the previous dynasties are facing the same problem, that is, whether it is Xiangwai or Xian'an, for his newly established Dazhong Dynasty, it is not at all like the original Ming Dynasty, with a strong foundation for political participation, after so many years of war, the country not only has a sharp decline in population, but also whether it is farming or commerce, have been devastated, this time to support his Northern Expedition, it can be said that they have squeezed out their already not rich foundation, and now there are still Beijing divisions in the north that have not yet been conquered, The Ming Dynasty still exists nominally, and because he is in a hurry to go north, he only controls the route of the Grand Canal, and the northeast of Shandong and the Jiaodong Peninsula are still under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

If he enters Liaodong at this time and seeks to fight to the death with Jiannu, as long as there are some problems in the future and the supply line is cut off, then it will be a catastrophe for his elite soldiers and horses.

Chasing this way here, Xiao Tianjian has been thinking about this problem, and even Lu Xiangsheng, who has always been advocating to destroy Jiannu as soon as possible, also began to think about these issues for Xiao Tianjian at this time, and along the way, he and Li Xin also discussed with Xiao Tianjian many times how to act next.

When he came here, Xiao Tianjian finally made up his mind, for the time being, let Jiannu survive for a while, the most important thing for him at the moment is to deal with the affairs of the Ming Dynasty first, pacify the north as quickly as possible, restore the northern agriculture and commerce that were devastated by the war, and after accumulating more sufficient materials, he can send troops out of the customs again and completely remove the big trouble of Jiannu.

Originally, Xiao Tianjian hated Chongzhen's idea that Xiangwai must first be safe, but now that he wants to take charge of the world, he sadly found that he can't jump out of this strange circle, and even now he really understands Chongzhen's difficulties, no matter who is in charge of this world, I'm afraid he can only make one choice, so he can only give up with regret first, continue to pursue Jiannu, and even Jinzhou, which is only the next step away, can't concentrate on recovering for the time being.

After the generals listened, they understood why Xiao Tianjian chose this time to give up attacking Jinzhou and ordered them to collect their troops and return to Jining City.

The generals think about it, they are killing happily these days, but they don't consider the logistics supply and those complicated things in the customs at all, this time from Yan Chongxi's left army arrived at Shanhaiguan first, to now the army has gathered in the Shanhaiguan area, it has been a month or two, their daily consumption of so many soldiers and horses is very huge, and the grain and straw materials transferred from behind it must not only meet their needs, but also meet the needs of the hundreds of thousands of people who have just fled from outside the customs into the customs in Shanhaiguan. They can not ask these things for the generals, just wait to open their mouths to eat, but Xiao Tianjian, the emperor, can not ignore these things, now they have gone through a series of fierce battles, in fact, the ammunition in the army has been almost consumed, if they want to attack the cities of Jinzhou, without a large-scale replenishment, with their current remaining ammunition base, it is far from meeting their needs to conquer the cities of Jinzhou.

Now they come out of Shanhaiguan, here their supply line has been extended by more than four hundred, if the soldiers reach the city of Jinzhou, then their supply line will reach a distance of five or six hundred miles, such a long distance, although there are thousands of cavalry of Wang Chengping, but Jiannu's cavalry is still far more than the Dazhong army a lot, to cover such a long-distance logistics supply line, for the Dazhong army, but it is a nightmare, now Jiannu is newly defeated, has not been able to spare energy to do this, but once the war in Jinzhou continues, Then Jiannu will definitely use their killer move, let alone conquer Jinzhou City at that time, if they don't get it, they will have to eat and defeat the battle!

So Xiao Tianjian's worries are not unreasonable, now Jiannu is equivalent to returning to their home field to fight, at least they have occupied the geographical advantage and these two, but the large Chinese army is equivalent to fighting in a different place, after all, Jiannu is not a Ming army, can be eaten by them in one bite, this battle is destined to be a protracted war, maintaining such a big war, in the case of not being able to solve part of the grain on the spot, all rely on the transfer of materials in the customs, but it is not a simple matter, after all, this battle is very important, But they can't be defeated, if they are not careful, they may turn into defeat or even like the Ming army, the whole army will be wiped out outside the pass, and then Jiannu may be arrogant again.

"Don't regret it, this battle can be fought to this extent, for us, it has exceeded expectations, originally we went north this time, but also only to hold the Shanhaiguan, the Jiannu army outside the pass, so that it is difficult to retreat, but what we have done now has greatly exceeded our original expectations, not only blocked the entry of the Jiannu army, but also annihilated a large number of Jiannu living forces, this time the blow to Jiannu, I am afraid that Jiannu did not have a few years, can not make up for it at all!

Their Han Army Eight Banners were almost all solved by us, and the Mongolian Eight Banners were also beaten by us and fled back to the Mongolian steppe, although this time we failed to get what we wanted, most of the Manchurian Eight Banners of Jiannu were eaten, but it was equivalent to cutting off their left and right arms, think about Jiannu after this defeat, the control in Liaodong will definitely decline significantly, only with their little Jurchen people, want to revive in a short period of time, I'm afraid that there will not be a few years, they will be difficult to attack the south to disturb the pass!

As long as we calm the domestic situation as soon as possible, why will it take several years? At most, as long as I am given another three years, I will lead you out of the customs again, and when the time comes, I will definitely go straight to Jiannu Shengjing and take Liaodong back into the hands of our Han people! Xiao Tianjian saw that the faces of the generals were much better, so he stood up and walked among them, and continued to them loudly, and when he said the end, he waved his hand vigorously to the north, revealing a momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers.

After hearing this, the generals immediately knelt down and shouted: "The last general (Weichen) obeys the holy commandment!" ”

Xiao Tianjian laughed and said, "Get up!" You bastards, when you first came back, you all looked like you had stepped on shit! It's a good posture to ask Master Xing about sin, now why do you obey the holy commandment, do I still have me in your eyes? ”

When the generals heard this, they all hurriedly bowed their heads and shouted: "The last general will not dare!" Please forgive your sins! Liu Yaoben even gritted his teeth and laughed at Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian spun around between them, kicked each of them in the ass, kicked them up, and then turned back and sat down behind the big case.

Luo Li rubbed his buttocks and asked Xiao Tianjian with a sneer: "Since the holy will has been decided, the last general should obey his orders, but now that we have collected our troops, is it possible to give up this Ningyuan City again in vain?" You must know that this Ningyuan City is a thorn in Jiannu's heart outside the gate! The saint won't just give the Jiannu Tartars for nothing! ”

After Xiao Tianjian listened to Luo Li's question, he turned his head and looked at Lu Xiangsheng and Li Xin and laughed, Luo Li, this guy is afraid that he won't be able to fight, and now they are in the pass, dealing with those Ming troops, it can be said that it is like destroying the withering and decaying, and the battle is really not enough, and this fierce battle in Shanhaiguan has made these guys find a feeling, especially Luo Li, who is in full swing, these days' pursuit battles, are leading the way to desperately chase and kill the Jiannu army, if it weren't for Wang Chengping's cavalry having an advantage, This guy alone can wrap up the battle.

So when Luo Li asked about this, Li Xin and Lu Xiangsheng both smiled slightly.

Xiao Tianjian stared at Luo Li and said loudly to Luo Li: "You bastard, when did I say that I would lose Ningyuan City to Jiannu again?" Since you asked about it, then well! I'll leave this Ningyuan City to you and the First Guard Division under your command! You will nail me here, if you lose Ning Yuan again, see if I don't cut off your big head and kick it as a ball! ”

When Luo Li heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and shouted loudly with both feet: "The last general will take the order!" Please rest assured that with my Lao Luo here, I will definitely want that Jiannu from now on, and I will not dare to go to Ningyuan City again! If you lose Ning Yuan, you don't need to do it with the saint, I Luo Li chopped off this big head by myself and gave it to the saint to use as a night pot! ”

After hearing this, the generals in the tent suddenly let out a burst of laughter, Xiao Tianjian shook his head and pointed at Luo Li with a wry smile and scolded: "Your head is definitely not good for making a night pot, you still have to find a way to keep it!" ……”

Huang Taiji was full of strength, opened a posture in the Jinzhou area, and wanted to take advantage of their geographical advantages with the chasing Dazhong Army here, turn the attack to defend and fight with the Dazhong Army in Jinzhou again, but did not think that a day later, he did not wait for the Dazhong Army to attack Tashan City, but got an urgent report from Dolgon, saying that after the Dazhong Army chased to Tashan, it bombarded Tashan City for a long time, and then collected troops and retreated, and returned to Ningyuan City.

Huang Taiji and many slave chiefs breathed a long sigh of relief, and Huang Taiji himself shook even more, and almost fell to the ground.

To tell the truth, these slave chiefs, these days, are afraid of the Dazhong Army, and even when they sleep at night, they can dream of the Dazhong Army's artillery fire like a volcanic eruption, this time although they retreated to the Jinzhou area, ready for a decisive battle, but these slave chiefs are at a loss, I don't know if they can hold here, now their old capital is almost eroded, and the red-clothed cannons that they originally regarded as relying on are now very few, And thinking about the huge number of heavy artillery in the Great Chinese Army, how can they, as people who have suffered big losses, not be afraid? So when they heard the news of the withdrawal of the Great Chinese Army, all Jiannu had a sense of relief.

But Huang Taiji still didn't dare to be completely relieved, for fear that this was another trick of the Dazhong Army, so he specially sent a group of rangers to the area of Ningyuan City to investigate the news, and when the rangers returned, they informed Huang Taiji that indeed the Dazhong Army had collected troops and returned to the Ningyuan area, and was resting in the Ningyuan area.
