Shaanxi, Tongguan.

Since arriving in Tongguan, Li Guoying's mood has never calmed down.

Perhaps the fact of the war in Guanzhong was too tragic and the Qing army lost too thoroughly, which left Li Guoying still still having a psychological shadow.

Moreover, the messenger sent out to Shanxi to ask for help has not returned yet, and Li Guoying is not sure whether he can wait for reinforcements.

If you continue to drag like this, it is very likely that Li Dingguo's army will arrive.

By then, Li Guoying had no confidence to resist the Ming army's Taotao offensive with just the ten thousand people in his hands.

Now, it is impossible to make peace.

He and Li Dingguo have broken up, either you die or I die.

What Li Guoying can do now is to break through as much as possible. No matter whether he goes to Shanxi or anywhere, as long as he can avoid Li Dingguo and avoid the pursuit of the Ming army, it is excellent.

Of course, Li Guoying has another last alternative path, which is to escape to Mobei.

North of Tongguanwei is northern Shaanxi.

Specifically, you can reach Yulin by following Tongguan all the way north.

The Great Wall of the border that leaves Yulinwei is the Mobei Grassland.

The relationship between the Tatars and the Qing Dynasty has always been pretty good. As for the Tumote tribe close to the mountains, Shaanxi has a good attitude.

If Li Guoying is forced to escape into the grassland, he should still be treated preferentially.

Of course this is the last choice. Li Guoying didn't want to escape to the grassland unless it was absolutely necessary.

After all, compared with the Central Plains, the conditions on the grassland are indeed much worse.

Li Guoying, who is used to be eating in the bell and the tripod, suddenly felt a little embarrassed to adapt to this environment.

So he was still waiting. As long as news came from Shanxi to agree to pick him up, Li Guoying would choose to go and join him.

When he was hesitating, his personal soldiers suddenly reported: "General, something is wrong!"

Li Guoying said unhappyly: "How many times have I said this? Don't panic. Tell me slowly if you have anything to do."

"But Governor, the Ming thief is coming."

The personal soldier said helplessly with a sad face.

"What, why didn't you say it earlier!"

Li Guoying was so angry that she jumped straight into her feet, her face pale as paper.

The personal soldiers thought to myself that you wouldn't give me a chance to speak.

"Let's talk about it carefully, how many people have arrived in Ming thief? Why did it come so quickly?"

"It seems that Li Dingguo has transferred all his troops. I guess they are also traveling together to chase the Governor."

The personal soldiers swallowed a mouthful of foam and then continued: "Now the Ming thief has already reached Huayin. If the Governor doesn't leave, it will be too late. Although Tongguan is a powerful pass in the world, there is a saying that a man will be the pass and ten thousand men will not open. However, the soldiers now do not have much morale. If they fight, they may not be able to defend it."

The personal soldiers' analysis was quite reasonable. Li Guoying felt very helpless when he thought about it carefully.

This cannot be kept, and that cannot be kept.

If this continues, I'm afraid it will not last long.

No, he can't sit still like this and wait for death. He must come up with an idea as soon as possible.

He has been waiting for news from Shanxi for a long time. But now it seems that Shanxi reinforcements will not come in a short period of time.

Li Guoying could not wait any longer, but he could not defend it. In the end, he decided to go north to northern Shaanxi and escape from the customs through Yulin to the north of Mobei.

Although the conditions in the north of Mobei are harsh, the vast world can always find a place to stay.

Li Guoying can't take care of so much now, as long as he can survive.

Since Li Guoying has decided, he does not intend to delay any further.

There were still some Qing troops in northern Shaanxi.

He wanted to take advantage of the fact that Li Dingguo had not led his troops to the front to gather this part of the Qing army, and then escape from the pass together.

Zheng Jing's navy set out along Denlai and finally arrived at Tianjin Wei after sailing on the sea for several days.

Compared with Denglai, the coastline of Tianjin Wei is much narrower.

Zheng Jing wanted to land in Tanggu, but as soon as he attacked, he was bombarded by fierce artillery fire from the Qing army.

After all, Tianjin is the gateway to the capital. It is natural for the Qing army to deploy heavy troops here.

Zheng Jing was not prepared enough and touched the dust in his nose.

But he was unwilling to give up and did not order the navy to evacuate, but prepared to launch a second offensive.

As a general who was following Zheng Jing, Gan Hui made suggestions at this time.

The Ming Navy's mission this time was to put pressure on the Qing army, thus forcing the Qing army to mobilize more troops to Tianjin to relieve the pressure on the Ming army's frontal battlefield.

Therefore, as long as Zheng Jing continues to put pressure on Tianjin, he doesn’t have to rush to take over Tianjin Wei.

Zheng Jing thought about it carefully and seemed that this was indeed the truth.

He was too overbearing before.

Pressure can be much less than the pressure of the total attack.

The Ming army had artillery fire, and as long as the firepower suppression was completed, the Qing army could not breathe.

Moreover, under this continuous suppression, the Qing army was also prone to making mistakes.

Once a mistake is made, it is easy for the Ming army to seize the mistake point to land.

Of course, Zheng Jing did not forget the news of walking around, which shows that the main force of the army has entered the capital and will be restored soon.

The influence of public opinion is still very important. As long as you grasp this, the Ming army will advance faster.

As for the Liaodong region, Zheng Jing does not want to be involved for the time being.

This is not because he thinks that Liaodong is not important, but because he thinks that the most urgent task is to take over Jingji.

In this way, even if the Tartars retreated to Liaodong, the ability of the Ming army's navy could cover Liaodong in time.

If the troops are divided to Liaodong at the moment, the capital cannot be taken over for a long time, it will be unfavorable to the entire battle situation.

Zheng Jing knew very well the role he played at this moment.

He is not a terminator, but a cooperator.

Show off when it is time to show off, and don’t steal the show off when it is time to show off.

I just hope that the main force of the Ming army can advance more smoothly on the front battlefield.

The Qing court's open and secret statements made the owners of the Eight Banners all set up their own thoughts.

Anyone with discerning eyes knows that most people cannot defend the Gyeonggi anymore, and it is only a matter of time before they are conquered.

The Empress Dowager intends to move all the main forces of the Eight Banners and the Bannermen outside the Pass. Active cooperation is the ideal way to do this.

Just keeping a blind eye will only end up in a mess.

As the organizers of this matter, Ebilon and Sony knew it was difficult for those old and stubborn people to persuade them to nod.

Therefore, they were not willing to spend more time on their own words, but took themselves as an example and first transferred their family's property outside the pass.

They believe that the bannermen's eyes are sharp.

Seeing that all the important officials in the court began to retreat, the minds of these old men would definitely be relaxed.

As long as the first old man starts to loosen, a second person will follow.

As long as there is a second person, there will be a third person.

If this continues, these stubborn old people will definitely choose to follow the crowd.

By then, the hardest work would be done.

The Qing Dynasty is no longer the Qing Dynasty that has been there for more than ten years, so you must never be able to save face. The primary thing is to preserve your strength and make a comeback.
