By that time, the Ming Dynasty will enter the fast lane of development, the commodity economy will usher in unprecedented prosperity, and the comprehensive national strength will increase exponentially.

Then it can form a crushing advantage over the entire world.

Of course, this is only Chongzhen's long-term plan.

For this plan to become a reality, it will take at least fifty years!

As for now, let's defeat Jiannu's second march south first and then talk about other things.

With a slight sigh, Chongzhen said: "But all of this must have a prerequisite, that is, the Ming Dynasty must survive this hurdle!"

The expressions of the Zhu Cixi brothers and Kang Xi also became solemn.

Because Jiannu's march south was really a big deal.

…

Let’s talk about establishing slaves.

In the past two months, Jiannu has not been idle.

Let’s talk about Azige first. Before receiving Dorgon’s order, Azige’s army on the west route was confronting the Dashun army led by Gao Yigong and Li Yan in Yulin.

Because the more than one hundred red barbarian cannons carried by the Azige tribe were blocked by the Great Wall and could not reach northern Shaanxi, they were unable to open up the situation. They even sent a partial division to make a detour, but in the end they were hit by a big enemy.

The Shun army ambushed the Mongols and suffered heavy casualties. Thousands of Mongols were killed and wounded.

Later, Azig learned from Huang Taiji and dug trenches around Yulin.

This method is stupid, but it does work. Although Gao Yigong and Li Yan counterattacked many times, they all failed because Jiannu's field battle was indeed better than Dashun's army.

As a result, there was a confrontation in both directions, Yulin and Luoyang.

Then at this time, Dorgon's decree reached Azig and Duduo's armies almost at the same time. Although Azig and Duduo were very reluctant in their hearts, they had no choice but to withdraw their troops.

Duduo withdrew his army to Weihui Mansion in Hebei for temporary rest and reorganization.

Azig was directly recalled to Beijing by Dorgon on the charge of "treating Mongolia as a foreign vassal". The army of more than 100,000 was handed over to Leke Dehui and a few Baylors, and went south to Weihui Mansion to join Duduo.

By the end of February, the army from the West Route successfully arrived at Wei Hui Mansion.

The food and fodder baggage transferred by Dorgon from Beijing arrived at almost the same time.

So at this time, Duduo already had 80,000 Manchu troops under the Eight Banners, more than 20,000 Mongolian troops under the Eight Banners, more than 10,000 Han troops under the Eight Banners, more than 30,000 Mongolian cavalry from the outer vassals, and more than 50,000 Ming troops from Wu Sangui, Jiang Xiang, Tang Tong and others.

In addition to the surrendering army, there are more than 80,000 coated slaves accompanying the army, with a total strength of 270,000!

In order to boost the morale of the army, Duduo captured several bandit leaders, pretended to be the commander-in-chief of the Ming army, and beheaded them in public to sacrifice the flag.

After offering sacrifices to the flag, Duduo lit up an army of 220,000 horse and infantry, and marched southward along with more than 100,000 horses, more than 2,000 sidecars and more than 200 red cannons.

Because the previous more than one hundred red cannons have been lost,

So Dorgon specially transferred more than 100 more schools from Beijing.
