Although it is said that Hauge hanged himself and died, and more than 10,000 of the Eight Banners were all wiped out, the number of dead and seriously wounded of the imperial army was close to 10,000.

The battle of Fengzhen, as well as this battle, made many people realize that the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners Army is indeed strong, if all the Eight Banners Army is concentrated in Shenyang and does their best to defend it, when the imperial army captures Shenyang, I am afraid that it will have to pay a huge price, and its own casualties will be unbearable.

Zhou Yanru, Yang Tingshu, Xiong Wencan and others successively put forward suggestions, that is, to adopt the tactics of besieging Shenyang.

The imperial army has occupied Gaizhou, Yaozhou, Haizhou, Anshan, as well as Zhenbeiguan, Anlezhou and Tieling, etc., the Liaohe River in the west and southern Liaoning in the north are all actually controlled by the imperial army, and the places occupied by the Qing Dynasty are only left in Shenyang, Liaoyang, Fushun and some places around Salhu, it can be said that today's Eight Banners Army has been firmly besieged by the imperial army.

It is only a matter of time to take Liaoyang, Fushun and Sarhu, after the imperial army takes these places, it will firmly block the surrounding areas of Shenyang from all directions, completely block the city of Shenyang, adopt siege tactics, and wait for the supply of the Eight Banners Army to have problems.

The pros and cons of such a deployment are also very clear, the advantage is that it can avoid the casualties of the imperial army to the greatest extent, and the disadvantage is that the consumption is huge, and the siege of Shenyang will take at least half a year to really see results, and it may take a longer time for the supply of grain and grass in Shenyang to really have problems.

However, no one is worried about the supply of the imperial army, relying on the power of the imperial court. It was enough to ensure all the expenses of the army besieging Shenyang, and the emperor had been on the throne for five years, and he did not take the decision to attack the Qing State immediately, but chose to blockade and besiege it, prohibiting any mutual market with the Qing State, resulting in the situation of internal and external difficulties in the Qing Dynasty. The imperial army took advantage of this time to attack, and as a result, in just over two months, it recovered most of the places occupied by the Great Qing State.

In March, spring flowers bloom.

Zhou Yanru and others were in a very good mood, and the good news came to Liaoyang one after another.

After Haoge and his Zhenglan Banner were completely wiped out, the Eight Banners Army stationed in Liaoyang quickly withdrew, leaving an empty Liaoyang city, after the proposal of Zhou Yanru and others, and the emperor's consent. The headquarters of the imperial army was set up in Liaoyang, which became the general headquarters and the emperor's camp, and soon became lively.

Dai Shan, who was stationed in Fushun and Salhu, also quickly evacuated Fushun and Salhu after learning the news that Haoge and his Zhenglan Banner were wiped out by the Ming army, and quickly arrived in Shenyang. According to the emperor's request, Zheng Jinhong set up his headquarters in Fushun.

Nearly 250,000 imperial court troops. The branch is located in the vicinity of Shenyang, and Shenyang has completely formed a situation of encirclement.

All this indicates that the time of the existence of the Great Qing Kingdom can already be calculated in days.

Regarding the matter of whether to directly attack the city of Shenyang, the emperor has not expressed his position, and the current army adopts the tactical arrangement of siege. The reason why the emperor did not express his position was also because the surrounding areas of Shenyang had not completely stabilized.

By the end of March, all but Shenyang was occupied by the imperial army.

The encirclement has been narrowed, forming a point with Liaoyang as a point. The left and right radiated to Fushun, Salhu, Liaohe, and Taizihe, forming an oval defensive formation with a radius of about two hundred miles.

Just when Zhou Yanru and others thought that the next task was to firmly besiege Shenyang, and when the food and grass of the Eight Banners Army stationed in Shenyang could not be supplied, the imperial army launched an attack, took Shenyang in one fell swoop, and completely destroyed the Qing Dynasty, but the emperor's attitude suddenly changed, and the emperor decided to start attacking the city of Shenyang.

Stationed in Shenyang are the Yellow Flag, the Yellow Flag, the Blue Flag, the White Flag, the White Flag, the Red Flag and the Red Flag, except for the Blue Flag, which has been completely wiped out, all the rest have been gathered in Shenyang.

In terms of troops, there are nearly 80,000 people in the Eight Banners Army, basically all of whom are elite sergeants, and there are still a lot of Manchurians in Shenyang, and these people can directly participate in the battle when they are organized, that is to say, when the fight really begins, the number of the Eight Banners Army guarding Shenyang may exceed 100,000.

This is a very large number, and Zhou Yanru and the others can imagine that the combat effectiveness of these 100,000 people is terrifying.

The imperial army stationed around Shenyang has a total number of about 240,000 people, and it should be said that it has an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, but this does not mean that the imperial army can take Shenyang in one fell swoop and completely wipe out the Eight Banners Army.

The casualties caused by such a strong attack must have been very large.

No one knows Zheng Xunrui's inner feelings, he crossed, for the history of the Ming Dynasty fell a scene is unforgettable, the Ming Dynasty fell for many reasons, through these years, Zheng Xunrui gradually corrected or abandoned the Ming Dynasty The demise of many root causes, such as natural disasters and man-made disasters, such as the party struggle in the court that has become a chronic disease, such as the collusion between officials and businessmen and so on, but he believes that there is one biggest root problem, that is, the rise of the Qing Dynasty.

Zheng Xunrui has always wanted to destroy the Great Qing Kingdom in a dignified manner, and it should be said that over the years, he has gradually approached this goal, and so far, the Great Qing Kingdom has been on the verge of extinction.

But to do this, Zheng Xunrui is not satisfied, or the knot in his heart has not been completely eliminated, he always thinks of the situation of the army attacking Shenyang, and thinks of the scene of entering Shenyang in person.

Zheng Xunrui also has stubborn times, when the court thought that the Great Qing Kingdom should be destroyed in one fell swoop, he insisted alone, and he must take measures to weaken the strength of the Great Qing Kingdom first, such persistence in exchange for the best situation today, but once the army began to attack, Zheng Xunrui was unwilling to continue to delay time, he wanted to fight quickly.

The situation is extremely favorable to the imperial army, the fighting spirit of the Eight Banners Army has dropped to a low point, although it has not yet dropped to the lowest, maybe wait for a few months or even half a year, the Eight Banners Army will have no fighting spirit, Shenyang will also become a veritable dead city, and the imperial army will be able to easily take Shenyang at that time.

But such an ending is not in line with Zheng Xunrui's thoughts.

Zheng Xunrui still has a lot of things to do, after exterminating the Eight Banners Army and destroying the Qing Dynasty, he also has to completely solve the problem of the grassland tribes, and also solve the places controlled by the former Haixi Jurchens and the former Beishan Jurchens in the north.

There is also the problem of sea-mountain trade, with the gradual prosperity of trade, many new problems will arise, the imperial court must invest a lot of time and energy, maintain the trade at sea, and there are many workshops of different sizes and sizes in various parts of the south, the future development of these workshops, Zheng Xunrui is also clear, that is the gradual germination of capitalism.

The Ming Dynasty is still the most prosperous and wealthy dynasty in the world, and this dynasty has too many responsibilities.

There are some things that Zheng Xunrui can guarantee to do well, but some things are not necessarily, he is not an immortal, he cannot control all the situations, and it is impossible to do everything well.

More importantly, with the passage of time, the current personnel of the Daming cabinet will not be able to adapt to the development of the situation, and in the near future, there will certainly be a major change of blood among the Chinese and military ministers of the DPRK.

The school education is Zheng Xunrui's painstaking efforts to promote, and what he wants to promote is not only the education of history and geography, but also the education of mathematics, which is not as simple as words.

It is also because of the crossing that Zheng Xunrui cannot ignore many important things, and he wants to create a strong system in his lifetime, at least to ensure that in the next few decades or even a hundred years, the Ming Dynasty will still be at the top of the world.

Liaoyang, the emperor's camp.

Including Zheng Jinhong, Yang He, Hong Xintao, Liu Zeqing and others, all rushed here.

Everyone already knew that the emperor had decided to launch a strategic deployment to attack Shenyang.

And all the faces were solemn.

When the emperor came out, everyone was ready to salute.

"No need to be polite, I summoned you to come today, just to conquer Shenyang, after this period of thinking, I made up my mind to attack Shenyang, the army of my Ming Dynasty, to defeat the Eight Banners Army in a dignified manner, even if the Eight Banners Army is brave, even if the army will pay the price of heavy casualties, I have decided."

"The 240,000 troops deployed around Shenyang are stationed in Fushun and Sarhu with 20,000 people, and Liaoyang with 20,000 people, and the remaining 200,000 troops are all engaged in the battle to attack Shenyang.

"All the arrangements and deployments will be completed within April, and the general attack on Shenyang will be launched in May, and the army must take the city of Shenyang, completely exterminate the Eight Banners Army, and destroy the Qing Dynasty." ……

It has been nearly three months since the dispatch of 250,000 troops, and the operational deployment has been completely implemented, and in less than three months, the Eight Banners Army was besieged around Shenyang, which no one expected, and the emperor adopted the tactics of closing the door and beating the dogs, cutting off all the retreat routes of the Eight Banners Army, and completely extinguishing any hope of the Qing Dynasty.

The moment of the final decisive battle is coming soon, everyone must be excited, to be able to participate in such a battle that will forever be recorded in history, it is the luck of everyone, the rise of the Houjin for decades, finally to be completely swept away by the Ming Dynasty. (To be continued.) )
