After Wang Yan returned to Luoyang, he first issued a decree in the name of the regent of Chu in the Ming Dynasty to appease the entire territory of Henan, and ordered the officials to continue to deal with the government affairs of various states and counties, restore production, abolish the Manchu system, and restore the clothes of the Han family before the court officials came to hand over.

Then he ordered the cabinet to quickly select officials from Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, and Beizhi, and quickly select cadres to come to Yu to prepare for relief to the victims and restore the Ming Dynasty's rule over the Central Plains.

When the news reached Nanjing, the Manchu Dynasty jubilated, believing that this was the Zhongxing battle of Dingding the Central Plains and recovering Shenjing. The DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China were jubilant, Nanjing's morale and people's hearts were greatly encouraged, and the whole city was as happy as a festival.

Everywhere, officials who learned of the great victory of the Northern Expedition also congratulated and praised the King of Chu, making His Royal Highness the King of Chu the first person in Zhongxing.

At this time, the statistics on the Central Plains Campaign have also come out, from the Ming Army's Northern Expedition to the end of the campaign, on the Heluo battlefield, the Ming Army beheaded a total of more than 60,000 people, captured more than 100,000 enemies, only more than 30,000 Jin Army and Green Battalion fled into Tongguan, and more than 1,000 full soldiers, fled to the north bank of the Yellow River.

Among the floating army, the green camp and the Han banner are the most, accounting for more than sixty percent, more than 60,000 people, followed by the Mongols, with nearly 30,000 people, the Jin army also has more than 5,000 people, the least is the full eight banners, because they stand by the river, so most of them are squeezed into the river, and the Ming army has less than 2,000 prisoners.

In addition to the captives, the largest capture of the Ming army can only be regarded as nearly 100,000 war horses.

Historically, the Central Plains Dynasty, to conquer the grassland, war horses are indispensable, whether it is Zhao Hufu cavalry, or Han attack the Xiongnu, are to ride and ride, the Ming Dynasty obtained so many war horses, for the future to extend the power to the grassland, made the necessary preparations.

The gains in silver money mainly came from the palaces of Shang Kexi and Kong Youde, but the Manchu treasury in Henan was clean and slippery, and the grain copied was less than 1,000 stones, and the silver taels were less than 500 taels, which can be said to be the oil ran out.

The Ming army copied more than 3 million taels of property from Shang Kexi and Kong Youde's mansions, including many calligraphy and paintings, antiques, land properties, and houses that cannot be estimated, and it can be said that the two thieves have been in Henan for ten years, and almost every year they have to be greedy for more than 300,000 taels.

On April 20, Wang Yan ordered that the copied finances be placed in front of the Yamen of Zhensi, so that the people of Luoyang City could have a look.

Of course, it was impossible to return these coins to the people of Henan, but Wang Yan issued a decree announcing that Henan would be exempted from taxation for one year.

The next day, Wang Yan ordered to kill 532 members of Shang Kexi and Kong Youde in Luoyang West City with wartime privileges, among which Shang Kexi and Kong Youde were plucked and filled with grass to warn future generations.

On the day of the execution, tens of thousands of people watched and applauded.

When dealing with Henan's internal affairs, Wang Yan did not stop military deployment, Dai Zhifan was transferred out of Henan, will cross the Yellow River, go north to Zhili, Li Guo from Luoyang westward, troops Lintong Pass line, attack Jinguo, Liu Fangliang and Li Dingguo went north into Shanxi, went to Pujin Pass to threaten Guanzhong, one to Taiyuan, to relieve the siege of Taiyuan.

At this time, the influence of the Central Plains War soon became apparent.

Because of the defeat of the Jin-Qing coalition army, the main force of the Qing army was almost completely annihilated, which shook the northern country, so the Qing army was unable to defend the line of the Yellow River.

In late April, Dai Zhifan set up a pontoon bridge to cross the Yellow River in Rongze, and where the army passed, the prefectures and counties along the way looked at the wind and descended.

In only ten days, by the beginning of May, more than ten prefectures and counties, including Yanjin, Xinxiang, Fengqiu, Yangwu, Weihui, Hongxian, and Neihuang, all surrendered to Dai Zhifan, and the Ming army entered the south of Beizhili.

The Daimyofu, an important town in Hebei, with less than 2,000 defenders, surrendered directly to the Ming army in order to resist, so that the Ming army opened the passage to Beijing.

However, because of the rapid progress of the Ming army, between March, the land of Shandong and Henan was recovered, and the logistics of the Ming army could not keep up, so the food of Dai Zhifan's army was not enough, and the army temporarily stopped at the Daimyo's mansion.

When Dai Zhifan marched into Hebei, there was also a small incident, the people of Fengqiu found a simple coffin on the edge of the Yellow River and sent it to the local government.

Although the corpse was already swollen, the demoted official of Fengqiu, judging by his clothing, was the Manchu regent Dorgon. At the moment, the officials did not dare to slack off, and while letting people pickle the corpses, they quickly reported to Dai Zhifan, who was in Hebei, and Dai Zhifan reported to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan got the news, and immediately sent someone to deal with it, he wanted to whip the corpse of Dolgon after the recovery of Beijing, and pay tribute to Emperor Anzong, who was ordered by him to be chopped alive.

Li Guo led the army to the west, and the action was also smooth, and the army almost did not spend any effort, and successively recovered Mianchi, Hongnongwei, Lingbao, Zhuyangguan and other places, and the troops pointed directly at Tongguan.

At this time, the Jin army that fled all the way into the pass has been relieved, because the strategic location of Tongguan is extremely important, once Tongguan is lost, the gate of Guanzhong is wide open, and Chang'an, the capital of Jin, is under the Ming army.

Meng Qiaofang knew the importance of Tongguan, so on the one hand, he ordered Tang Tong, the defender of Tongguan, to strengthen the defense, and on the other hand, he sent the defeated troops to Lintong to rest and recuperate, and transferred 10,000 elite soldiers to Tongguan to assist in the defense, so that the number of troops guarding the pass reached 30,000.

Li Guo tried to attack Tongguan twice, but was repelled by the Jin army, and the westward advance of the Ming army was contained by the Jin army, and the Jin State temporarily stabilized its position.

On the other side, Liu Fangliang and Li Dingguo entered the southern part of Jin, and the people of the Three Jin Dynasty who had just been massacred by the Qing army were simply eating pot pulp to welcome the king.

After Jiang Xiang rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, the gentry of southern Jin quickly launched an uprising in response to Jiang Xiang's uprising because they were not full of Qing tyranny.

The rebel army that revolted in Jinnan was large and small, with dozens of teams. These horses mainly obeyed the command of Jiang Xiang's general Gao Ding, and successively blocked the Qing army's advance to Taiyuan in Jincheng, Gaoping, and Lu'an.

Because the Qing army had a strong army in southern Jin, the cities defended by the righteous army were broken by the Qing army one after another, Kong Youde slaughtered several cities, and after the general of the righteous army Wei Shijun was killed, Lu'an was broken, and the soldiers and civilians were killed 100,000 people, so that the righteous army in southern Jin was either forced to surrender or turned into the mountains and forests guerrillas.

For a time, many of the rebels, who originally claimed to be tens of thousands of people, were either exterminated or hid in the mountains without news.

When the situation in southern Jin deteriorated, there were righteous troops in southern Jin who asked for help from the Ming Dynasty and wrote a letter to Wang Yan, saying, "Millions of Jin people are all playing the Ming banner, and I hope that the king will cross the Yellow River as soon as possible and recover the three Jin Dynasty." ”

During the Central Plains War, the main force of the Qing army went south to Henan, and the righteous army came out of the mountains and forests to deal with the Qing army, but because of the slaughter of the Qing army in Shanxi, the people did not dare to support the righteous army, so their situation was still very difficult.

Now, the Ming army has entered Shanxi, and as soon as the righteous army from all over the country gets the news, they are all grateful and cry with joy.

The Ming army had just arrived in Jincheng, and almost all the prefectures and counties in Shanxi that had been pacified by the Qing army rebelled, and the rebels attacked the state capital everywhere, and before the Ming army arrived, they knocked down the city.

After the Qing army pacified Shanxi, many local officials were reappointed, and not long after they arrived, there was a great defeat in the Central Plains in the south, and many people directly abandoned their officials and fled, and most of them were intercepted and killed by the righteous army as soon as they left the city.

The Jin army, which besieged Jiang Xiang under the city of Taiyuan, soon got the results of the Central Plains Campaign, and Haoge withdrew his camp from Taiyuan overnight.

He did not dare to go south to Pujin Pass, but went west to cross the river with the Wubao army, and fled into Suide, Shaanxi in a hurry.

At the end of April, after Lou Qin fled back to Beijing, Beijing was full of mourners, and pessimism spread in the city.

After getting the news in Xuanda, Nikan immediately led 30,000 horses to retreat to Juyong Pass, preparing to return to Beijing in a hurry, but 20,000 Mongols, after figuring out the situation, actually rebelled halfway, killed more than 1,000 Qing troops, seized the grain, grass, baggage, and silver money and iron tools that Nikan had robbed, and directly left the Qing army and returned to the grassland.

The Manchus and the Mongols were not completely subordinate to each other, and to a certain extent, they actually belonged to a cooperative alliance.

Although the Manchus defeated the Mongols, judging from the close marriage between the Manchus and Mongolians, the Manchus did not rely entirely on force to deter the Mongols, but more to win them over with interests.

This kind of relationship, when the Qing Dynasty was thriving, the two sides were naturally harmonious, but in recent years, the Qing Dynasty could not give much benefit to Mongolia, and even the bannermen often owed money, and the rewards for the Mongolian princes became less and less, which made Mongolia begin to be a little dissatisfied.

There was a rift between Manchu and Mongolia, but fortunately there was still Dolgon in the Qing Dynasty, and the remnants of the Qing army's sweep of Lin Dan Khan were still there, and Daishan defeated Dzungar and compensated the surrendering Mongol tribes with a lot of things, so the relationship was maintained.

However, the results of the Central Plains battle came, the majesty of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was lost, and seeing that the country was about to die, the Mongols naturally had no deterrent power, and the Central Plains were lost, Hebei was not guaranteed, and the Mongols could not get any benefits from the Manchus, but they had to beware of the liquidation of the Ming Dynasty, and the foundation of the Manchu and Mongolian families was no longer there.

Now that the Manchus were a broken ship that could capsize at any time, the Mongols could be said to have jumped ashore without hesitation, wanting to dissociate themselves from the Manchus and decide to retreat to the steppe.

At the beginning of May, Nikan led less than 10,000 men back to Beijing, and by this point, in addition to the two or three thousand men in addition to the Guan, all the forces of the Manchu Qing were concentrated in the city of Beijing.

There were only 35,000 soldiers and horses in the city, of which less than 20,000 were full, and the rest were Han troops and a very small part of the Mongolian Eight Banners.

At this time, Duoduo, the prince of Yu, who had been ill for a long time, finally ended his sinful life under the double blow after learning that Dorgon and Doni had died in the defeated army.

The generation of the old slaves of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the generation of Huang Taiji, finally all died, and the Shunzhi Emperor, who was just sixteen, took over the power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty under such circumstances.

This moment is the moment when Fu Lin thinks about the tomb, but he doesn't want to complete the pro-government in this situation.

What he didn't expect was that the first political discussion after he became pro-government was to discuss his abdication and peace and withdrawal from Beijing.

This is a great irony for Fulin······
