    When Zhao Han expanded his military system, Huang Taiji was doing the same thing.

    July.

    After Wu Sangui surrendered at Songshan Fort, Huang Taiji personally led the army to bypass Jinzhou.  Facing the heavy encirclement, the deputy general of Xingshan Castle surrendered to the enemy secretly, and cooperated inside and outside to help the Manchus occupy the castle.

    At the same time, Hauge and Duduo led 5,000 cavalry to cut off the passage between Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan.

    Although there are more than 10,000 garrison troops in Ningyuan, most of them belong to the village brave regiment.  There are troops recruited by Liaodong military officers, and there are also troops recruited by landlords and wealthy businessmen. The ranks are diverse and the orders are different.

    Both Jin Guofeng and Wu Xiang are the commander-in-chief of the Ningyuan Regiment.

    Wu Sangui brought his family members to persuade him to surrender, and Wu Xiang was ready to move immediately.

    Jin Guofeng is from Shanxi, and he was quite excluded in Liaodong.  Although Ning Yuan took him as the main general, he could only command dozens of family cavalry.

    Seeing that the situation is not good, Jin Guofeng flees with his family, and is surrounded by cavalry led by Duoduo.

    Jin Guofeng would rather die than surrender, and rushed towards more than 2,000 Manchu cavalry with only a few dozen family members.  The entire family was wiped out, and Jin Guofeng, father and son died heroically.

    Once Jin Guofeng died, Wu Xiang surrendered, and Ningyuan was taken by the Qing Dynasty.

    Tashan Fort, sandwiched between Jinzhou and Ningyuan, also chose to surrender.

    The news came out that from Ningyuan to Shanhaiguan, all the forts along the way either surrendered or fled collectively to Shanhaiguan.

    Jinzhou.

    Zu Dashou has held on for almost a year, the outer city was lost, and the food in the inner city was exhausted.

    Many buildings in the city were chopped into firewood and burned, and countless people in the city starved to death.

    The personal guard rushed over with a letter, Zu Dashou opened it up for a closer look, and then let out a sigh of relief.

    In the entire east of Shanhaiguan, only his ancestor Dashou is still defending the city, including his relatives and nephews, who have surrendered.

    "Surrender, follow me out of the city." Zu Dashou had no other choice.

    The entire Liaodong fell!

    Due to the large number of Liaodong soldiers who surrendered, the combat effectiveness was uneven, and the command structure was extremely chaotic, Huang Taiji began to reorganize.

    Select 10,000 Liaodong soldiers, plus the Han army who surrendered before, and compile them into the Han army flag.

    The rest of the Liaodong soldiers were thrown away to farm.

    In this reorganization, the Eight Banners system has been improved. Under the Eight Banners, there are Manchurian Banner, Mongolian Banner, and Hanjun Banner.

    Throughout the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners Army was about 100,000 people, and the number was not very large.  And they usually have to farm, unlike Zhao Han's regular army, which is completely out of production.

    The structure of each flag is as follows¡ª¡ª

    ? XX Banner - Manchuria Banner (Mongolian Banner, Han Army Banner) - Jiala - Niulu.

    Those pure Manchurian banners, like Zhao Han's troops, have about 7,500 troops in each banner, and the eight Manchurian banners add up to only about 60,000.

    The banners are not directly divided by ethnicity. The Mongolian nobles entered the Manchurian Banner, and the Mongols and Manchurians with Han surnames were compiled into the Han Army Banner.

    It is estimated that within half a year, Huang Taiji will not fight again. He must digest the newly occupied territory, and at the same time step up control of the reorganized Han army.

    The Ming court has become numb to this.

    Now there are three governors, Hong Chengchou is in charge of guarding Liaodong, Sun Chuanting is in charge of guarding Shanxi, and Chen Xinjia is in charge of guarding Henan.

    Chongzhen's real actual control sites are only Beizhili and Shandong.

    Although the provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan are still under the rule of Ming Dynasty, they have already lost contact with each other, and the money, food and taxes can no longer be transported to the capital.

    All the eunuchs in the various armies were recalled by Chongzhen, and eunuchs were not allowed to intervene in the military.

    However, the supervising army still had to be dispatched, so civilian officials were selected as the supervising army.

    Historically, Zhang Ruoqi, the key figure who led to the fall of Liaodong, had no chance to harm Liaodong and Hong Chengchou this time.

    Well, he harmed Sun Chuanting.

    Zhang Ruoqi's official position is as a doctor in the Ministry of War.

    It looks like a small official, but he is a powerful figure!

    The assessment of rewards and punishments for military exploits, the distribution of military rations, the reorganization of the army, the training of soldiers, the conquest of towns and garrisons are all under the direct jurisdiction of this guy!

    Today, he is also sent to supervise Sun Chuanting's army.

    It only took half a month for Zhang Ruoqi to take Sun Chuanting off the ground, and generals like Yang Guozhu and Wang Pu had to listen to him.

    ?This guy started his career by party struggle, and by ingratiating himself with Yang Sichang, he doesn't understand military affairs at all.

    As soon as he arrived at the front line, he emptied the coach, and then eager to make contributions, ordered all departments to take the initiative.

    ? Yang Guozhu's grain road was cut off, so he surrendered directly to Li Zicheng.

    Li Fuming's lone army went deep into the siege, died in a fierce battle, and the whole army was wiped out.The pressure was too great, so he said: "Go and tell the head of the country that ten thousand taels is too little, why donate twenty thousand taels."

    The eunuch went to pass on the message again. Seeing that Zhou Kui couldn't be fooled, he hurried into the palace to find his daughter.

    Empress Zhou persuaded: "Father, the Ming Dynasty is in dire straits. How can we train troops and suppress thieves without money? As the head of the country, my father should understand the righteousness and set an example for the rich and powerful in the city. The daughter still has some money for himself.  Take them all, at least you have to collect 20,000 taels of silver."

    Queen Zhou gave his father five thousand taels, and Zhou Kui would make up another five thousand taels.

    Back home, Zhou Kui thought about it, but was still reluctant to donate 20,000 yuan.  The five thousand taels given by his daughter, he directly picked out two thousand taels, and took 13,000 taels of silver to donate.

    Inside and out, I only paid 8,000 taels, which is a good deal no matter how you think about it.

    After the father-in-law set an example, the honorable ministers should follow suit, so they took out silver donations one after another, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of taels per person.

    After donating, I felt that I donated too much, and it spread like a corrupt official, so I posted a note on the door of my house: This house is for sale.

    After a farce, Chongzhen had hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

    Then, he didn't know what to do.

    Shanxi, Henan, and Liaodong are full of bandits on three sides.

    ?That bastard Zuo Liangyu was entrenched in Shandong, and he said all day long that he was hunting Cao Cao thieves, but he didn't listen to the court's transfer at all.

    Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are just lingering.

    Chongzhen summoned Wang Tiaoding, and asked in a flat tone: "Will Zhao Han still take in the descendants of the royal family?"

    Wang Diaoding didn't bother to pretend anymore, so he changed his name directly: "Captain Zhao said that the royal family fell into the hands of thieves, not only the Zhu family's face was lost, but he also felt shameful."

    Chongzhen backed away from the left and right, and said in a low voice: "You take the prince and princess out of Beijing, and go out at night, don't make a fuss. I will give you another imperial decree, canonize Zhao Han as king, and after you leave Beijing, this imperial decree will also let you go.  The cabinet and the six ministries are aware."

    Chongzhen thought about it carefully, and said: "Bring a few officials from the clan's mansion to the south, and I will marry my daughter to Zhao Han and let him be the son-in-law of Ming Dynasty. None of the nobles and relatives in Beijing are worthy of trust. I hope that Zhao Han can keep his promise.  Be kind to my children!"

    (Two updates today.)
