Gaizhou, this place is Gaizhouwei, the former governor of the Liaodong Dusi under the jurisdiction of the Ming Shandong Provincial Administration Office. It controls the island and produces a lot of grain, fish, salt, and coal and iron. It is the largest granary in southern Liaoning.

After Emperor Taizu of the Qing Dynasty, Nurhaci led the Later Jin soldiers to defeat the Ming army and occupy Liaodong, it was convenient for Liaoyang to issue the "Land Enclosure and Practice Land Order". This order was actually to force the land of the Han people in Liaodong, including the land owners, to the land and slaves of the Later Jin soldiers.

This naturally aroused strong resistance from the Han people in Liaodong. Because the resistance was too fierce, Nurhaci ordered the massacre of the Han people in Liaodong.

The massacre wiped out most of the strong Han laborers in Liaodong prefectures. Those who survived by chance also fled from Liaodong, which eventually led to a lack of labor in the Liaodong area and a large amount of farmland was shelved and abandoned.

After Emperor Taiji of Qing Dynasty ascended the throne, he changed his father's practice of killing Han people in the country indiscriminately, appeased Han officials, and actively restored the livelihood of Liaodong.

However, because there were very few Han people in Liaodong, no matter how good the policy was formulated, no one would cultivate the land. In addition, Liaodong was also affected by the extremely cold weather, and natural disasters continued under the rule of the Later Jin Dynasty, which was difficult to maintain.

In order to ease domestic conflicts, Huang Taiji led his troops to the pass to maintain his rule through the plunder of the Ming Dynasty.

During Huang Taiji's reign, he entered the pass many times, and captured millions of strong men and women from the Ming Dynasty, including Beizhi, Jingji, Shanxi, Shandong and other places. "The population was dozens of miles long, and dozens of people ran east on their own. Those who were slightly behind either fought or killed."

In the records of the Ming Dynasty officials at that time, the teams, which were dozens of miles long or several miles long, were forced to leave their hometowns and go to Liaodong under the surveillance of thousands, hundreds, or even dozens of Eight Banners soldiers, and countless deaths were found on the way.

But the Ming army closed the city and dared not save it.

After a large number of people in the pass were captured to Liaodong, they were placed in various parts of Liaodong.

About 100,000 people were placed here in Gaizhou. The Qing army allowed these Han people to unite with women. Gradually, villages of different sizes were formed in Gaizhou. They cultivated fields for their slaves for generations, engaged in other types of production, and provided a steady stream of food and food resources for the Qing court's war.

After Dorgon decided to move the capital from Shengjing to Beijing last year, he sent He Luohui to become the chief manager of Shengjing to assist Prince Zheng Jiergalang in the relocation of the capital.

In August, after Jirgalang and the emperor set out to Beijing, He Luohui did not return to Beijing with him, but instead reorganized the remaining troops in Shengjing under the order of Dorgon.

According to the customization of the He Luohui, the Minister of General of Shengjing was under the left and right wings, each led by a Melezingjing.

Below, each Manchu Banner Association led one member, four members of Zhangjing, one member of Mongolia and one member of Zhangjing, and 800 soldiers stationed in Shengjing, Mongolia and Han garrison; 10 blacksmiths, and 50 soldiers stationed in Xinjing.

In addition, there were sixteen cities and guards in Xiong Yao, Guangning, Xinbin, Jinzhou, Ningyuan, Haizhou, Anshan, Gaizhou, Xincheng, Niuzhuang and other places, and the guards in Manchu and Han Zhangjing. Each city guards had armored Manchu soldiers ranging from 30 to 200 people.

As the civil war in the pass was successively fought, the main force of the Qing army marched westward. In order to protect the capital, Dorgon ordered He Luo to transport the Eight Banners troops into the pass.

The edict said: "Take two Zhangjingshu in each flag of Shengjing, and each Niulu sends two armored soldiers to lead horses. His wife and family members should not be brought, but only armored. If there is a follower Aha, you can bring them. Each flag will leave three Zhangjingshu, and each Niulu will leave three armored soldiers to Shengjing."

As Dorgon's confidant, He Luohui was ordered to handle the matter and dispatched about 3,000 armored soldiers everywhere to transport them to the pass. As a result, the Qing court had only more than 4,000 soldiers outside the pass, including Shengjing.

Except for more than a thousand garrisons in Shengjing, the rest were scattered at 16 garrison sites.

He Luohui, who had completed the task, returned to Beijing to report the order at the end of last year, and Dorgon ordered the third brother and the third-class general Abai to stay in Shengjing.

When the Huai Army Governor Lu Si decided to cross the sea with more than 20,000 soldiers from the Seventh Town to conquer Liao, he once said something to Qi Bao, the captain of the personal soldiers beside him. Qi Bao always remembered this sentence, the general idea was that Aisin Gioro had never read Ma Han's "Theory of the Sea Power", otherwise he would not have been arrogant and thought that thousands of people could defend millions of square kilometers of land.

The consequences of being too confident appeared in the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty.

When Li Huajing, the seventh town leader of the Huai Army, led his more than 20,000 subordinates of the Green Forest heroes to set foot on the land of Liaodong again, he was surprised to find that they seemed to be invincible in the world!

Because the enemy is too weak.

In the first battle in Jinzhou City, more than 200 armored Aha and more than 40 real Manchu soldiers stationed at the Huai Army that was landing on the sea continuously. Not to mention that they dared to attack from the city, even those who stood on the city were frightened.

However, these Manchu soldiers and armored Aha showed the courage of the Qing soldiers, and fought with the Huai army with the walls of the Jinzhou Guards of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Huajing didn't take these Qing troops seriously at first, but after the two groups of troops sent to attack the city failed one after another, he quickly asked someone to transport the red cannons that the Huai Army headquarters reinforced him.

In the end, the Jinzhou Acropolis was blown up by the Red Barbarian cannons of the Huai Army. Thousands of Huai Army were rushed into the city and killed when they saw anyone. They were not sealed until the next day.

In addition to more than 200 Qing troops killed, more than 3,000 people were killed.

The annihilation of the Jinzhou garrison indicated that the Huai army had no enemies in Jinzhou to Fuzhou. Therefore, in accordance with the instructions of the Huai army governor Lu Si to burn and destroy as much as possible, Li Huajing instructed his troops to go out and take away all the food and grass that could be found, and burn all the food and grass that could not be taken away. All the post offices, sheds, and forts set up by the Qing Dynasty were demolished, and those that could be taken away by mules, horses and livestock could be taken away, and those that could not be taken away were killed and eaten. No supplies such as salt and iron were left at all.

Because Jinzhou was near the sea, Shen Tingyang, who was responsible for the maritime transportation task, could not bear the fact that the Han people had no livelihood under the Qing army, so he organized the Han people to migrate to Dongjiang and Shandong.

Although Li Huajing repeatedly conveyed to his subordinates the instructions that the governor of the Huai Army that "those with braids are not necessarily enemies, and those without braids are not necessarily good people", the seventh town consisting of men from the green forest, even robbers, bandits, and local bandits, military discipline is outrageous.

Some people came to join the Huai Army in name to kill the Tartars, but in fact they wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob.

Even when Li Huajing led more than 10,000 people from the core of the seventh town to advance to Fuzhou, the rest of the soldiers and horses in Denglai did not obey the orders and acted alone, completely roaming in the face of bandits, which made Li Huajing angry and unrestrained, so he simply let these people do whatever he wanted.

On the 17th day of the first lunar month, Li Huajing captured Fuzhou City, which had only 60 Manchurian soldiers, and then launched a large-scale attack on Gaizhou.

Hashtun, Gaizhou City Wei, was a man from the Inlaid White Banner. Since he became the guard of Gaizhou City, the most he has done is to collect taxes.

Gaizhou is located in a key transportation area between the south and the south of Liao, with extremely developed trade routes. A large number of merchants come to trade every year, so although the guards of Gaizhou City are not a good seat in the Eight Banners, the oil and water are good.

No need to work hard, only count money to drink every day. This good day makes Hashtun happy, but on the 21st day of the first lunar month, Hashtun regrets that he should not spend money to manage the position of He Luohui as the chief guard of Gaizhou City.

On the 21st, the Huai Army attacked the city and fired three cannons. The guardian of Manchu City, Hashtun, surrendered without fighting. From then on, the seventh town opened the gate to Liaoyang and Shengjing.

At this time, there were less than 4,000 Qing troops outside the pass.
