Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

Chapter 256: Southern Ming Northern Expedition

History has changed dramatically, and the struggle between the Qing court and the Southern Ming regime has been decided. Various forces are surging, but it is difficult to change the fate of the Qing Dynasty.

The sky of the Qing Dynasty seemed to be shrouded in a haze. The loss of 300,000 elite troops plunged the entire court into deep panic.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother. The Ming army is powerful, with no less than 70 elite troops. Let's withdraw outside the Great Wall." Aobai said.

"Is there really no room for maneuver?" asked the Queen Mother.

The other ministers were also devastated, unable to reverse the decline of the Qing Dynasty. Some of the more active ones were already preparing to defect to the Ming Dynasty.

"The Empress swept through the two main forces of the Qing army and annihilated more than 30 enemies. The Northern Expedition is promising!" An elegant man who had been waiting for the royal army for a long time said excitedly.

The news spread like wildfire, and people were in panic. The ministers were talking about it, not knowing what the future would hold.

"What should we do?" The leaders of the eight imperial merchants gathered together, like ants on a hot pan.

Fearing retribution from the Ming empress, they each separated from their families, some hid their identities, and some fled to Liaodong.

......

In the Southern Ming court, the atmosphere was quite different. Suo Chao, the highly respected imperial preceptor, gazed determinedly at the empress, his heart filled with a desire for a northern expedition.

Suo Chao knew very well that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he didn't take advantage of it to launch a northern expedition and recover the lost territory, when would he take the opportunity?

"Your Majesty, we should use our remaining courage to pursue the enemy instead of sitting back and watching the opportunity to launch a northern expedition." Suo Chao stood up and reported back. His voice was steady and powerful, full of determination.

Suo Chao stood up from his seat, straightened his back slightly, clasped his hands together, and his eyes revealed his firm belief in victory.

The empress sat on the dragon throne, looking troubled. Although she longed to launch a northern expedition and recover the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty, she was worried about whether the country's strength could support such a massive undertaking.

"Imperial Master, I also want to launch a Northern Expedition as soon as possible to recover the beautiful territory of the Ming Dynasty. I wonder if the current national strength can still support the Northern Expedition?" There was a hint of worry in the empress's voice. She frowned slightly and stared at Suo Chao closely.

Suo Chao answered without hesitation:

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The 350,000 troops under my command do not need food and supplies from the court. I will sneak into the enemy city in advance, and then work together with the generals to easily capture the Qing city." There was a confident light in his eyes, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

Suo Chao knew very well that the key to the Northern Expedition was to take the enemy by surprise and quickly capture the enemy cities, and his plan was to use his special abilities to create favorable conditions for the Northern Expedition army.

The Empress felt a little relieved after hearing Suo Chao's words. She turned to Qin Liangyu and the others and asked:

"Generals, what do you think?"

Qin Liangyu stood up, wearing armor and looking heroic.

"I also strongly advocate the Northern Expedition. General Zheng's navy will arrive in Liaodong soon. We can advance both by land and sea to completely recover the lost territory!" Qin Liangyu's voice was firm and decisive, and her eyes were full of desire for victory.

As a famous general of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Qin Liangyu was well aware of the importance of the Northern Expedition. She was eager to recover lost territories for the country and restore the glory of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the arrears of taxes in the southern provinces will be gradually paid, allowing them to fully support the Northern Expedition. I will arrest all those who refuse to change," General Zhang Mingzhen said. His face was serious, and his eyes revealed his loyalty to the country.

The Northern Expedition required sufficient financial support, and taxes from the southern provinces were an important source of income. He was determined to take decisive measures to ensure the smooth collection of taxes and provide a solid economic guarantee for the Northern Expedition.

After listening to the generals' words, the empress was filled with confidence.

"Okay! The Northern Expedition depends on you generals." The empress's voice was firm and powerful, and her eyes were full of expectations for the future.

Suo Chao acted decisively, knowing full well that time was of the essence and that he had to act quickly. He activated his supernatural speed ability and quickly rushed to the Qing city, hiding a large number of troops along the way.

He was like a ghost, shuttling between the enemy lines and clearing the way for the Northern Expedition Army. After doing all this, he immediately rushed to Liaodong to join forces with Zheng Chenggong's navy.

Qin Liangyu led an army of 80,000 and marched north to recapture Kaifeng Prefecture. She led the army and marched towards Kaifeng Prefecture in a mighty manner.

Along the way, morale was high and the soldiers were eager to fight and regain lost territory for their country.

Qin Liangyu rode on a white warhorse, looking ahead with a firm gaze, her heart full of desire for victory.

Zhang Xianzhong led an army of 80,000 to the north to recapture Xi'an. His army rushed towards Xi'an like a raging torrent.

Zhang Xianzhong was brave and fearless. He led his soldiers to fight bravely and was determined to recover this important lost land for the country.

Yan Xiang led 80,000 troops north to Daming Prefecture. Her troops were well-organized and their morale was high.

As a female general, Yan Xiang showed extraordinary courage and wisdom. She knew the importance of Daming Prefecture and was determined to lead her soldiers to capture the city.

Shi Kefa led an army of 80,000 north to recapture the capital, his heart filled with loyalty to his country and a desire for victory.

Shi Kefa knew that the capital was the symbol of the country and must be recovered as soon as possible. He led his soldiers forward bravely, fearless of difficulties and dangers.

Zhang Mingzhen led an army of 30,000 to the east to recapture the territory of Shandong. His army moved swiftly, like a sharp sword piercing the heart of the enemy.

Zhang Mingzhen also knew the importance of Shandong. He was determined to lead his soldiers to recover the lost land and add strength to the Northern Expedition.

The elite troops of the Southern Ming Dynasty were all out in a Northern Expedition that would determine the fate of the nation. The entire Southern Ming Dynasty was immersed in a tense and exciting atmosphere, with people looking forward to the victorious return of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Suo Chao activated his True Eye ability, searching for the remaining Qing forces on his way north and engaging them in a decisive battle. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, able to see through everything.

Wherever he went, he won every battle and the Qing army was defeated. Suo Chao's heroic performance inspired the morale of the Northern Expedition Army, and the soldiers fought more bravely and fought for the honor of the country.

Suo Chao fought his way to Shengjing, where he cooperated with Zheng Chenggong's navy to overthrow the Qing court.

In this battle, Suo Chao captured 200,000 Qing troops, 3 million Qing civilians, and various Manchu princes. His victory brought great glory to the Southern Ming and laid a solid foundation for the unification of the country.

"Are you Dayuer?" Suo Chao asked.

"General, you are invincible in the world. Can you let my child go?" Dayuer said.

"Yes, but we need to change places." Suo Chao said.

Suo Chao sent 20 Qing soldiers and 300 million Qing civilians into the D-dimensional world. He was not a person who ignored life, and treated people of all nationalities equally.

The Southern Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition achieved great victory and laid a solid foundation for the country's unity and prosperity.

The heroic deeds of General Suo Chao and others will be forever remembered in the long river of history.

However, victory was only temporary. With Japan to the east and the Russian Empire to the north, and Europe and North America also experiencing rapid development, Suo Chao was filled with concerns about the Ming Dynasty's subsequent strategy.
