At the end of April, the Fu Han army sent troops to Shengjing, more than 40,000 troops set off in the direction of Shengjing, and this battle will be personally commanded by Ning Zuyi, the commander of the Central Group Army.

When Fude received this news, he couldn't help but feel sad, because although the main force of the Qing army had begun to return from Korea, it was still on the way, and it was only impossible to rush back before the Fu Han army arrived in Shengjing.

At this time, Shengjing, there were only less than 10,000 people, and it was not realistic to hold on to the 40,000 troops of the Fu Han army, on the one hand, he went to send an urgent report to Emperor Qianlong, and on the other hand, he asked for help from the Russian envoy Count Savaulla, and at this time, 1,500 people led by Count Savaulla had arrived in Hunchun.

In the previous treaty, Count Sara Gula was stationed outside the Guanxi with the Qing army, and after arriving in Shengjing, he would directly lead the army to Jilin to take over Hunchun, which was also the content of the original treaty.

However, Fude's letter was destined to be of little use, for Count Savaula had already learned through the Governor of Eastern Siberia, Shaylov, that the 10,000 reinforcements sent by the Empress would arrive in Irkutsk and Kyakhta in August and October in two groups after a long journey, along with a letter from the Empress to Count Sarahula.

In this letter, the empress's order to Count Sarahula was very simple, not to save the Tatar state, which was no longer worth saving, but to find a way to occupy the territory from Hunchun to Vladivostok, and even if the Han army wiped out the Tatars, the Russian Empire would not have any losses.

Therefore, after receiving a letter from Fude, the deputy capital of Shengjing, the Count of Sara Gullah simply replied to him that in order to hold on, reinforcements from the Russian Empire would be brought soon, and until the reinforcements arrived in Shengjing, the Qing people could only rely on themselves.

To put it simply, after eating all the benefits, Count Sara Hurra has already begun to plan to repay his debts.

Without the heavy troops of the Qing army along the way, the front of the Fu Han army was almost like a broken bamboo, and by May, it had already taken Zhuangcheng, Haicheng, Anshanyi and Liaoyang Prefecture one after another, and came towards Shengjing.

However, at the time when Shengjing was in danger, the Korean Qing army had just entered Zhenjiang Fort, and even Emperor Qianlong had already seen that he wanted to travel a long way from Zhenjiang Fort to rescue Shengjing, but he was afraid that it would be too late - judging from the distance between the two sides to Shengjing, when the Qing army arrived in Shengjing, he was afraid that Nurhachi's ashes would be raised by the Han army.

In desperation, Emperor Qianlong had no choice but to gather his ministers to discuss the current situation, in fact, he was making a choice question, whether to rescue Shengjing or stay in Korea?

At this point, even Ma Qi and others, who originally used 'filial piety' as the reason, had no way to bite the bullet and say that they would rescue Shengjing, because this was tantamount to a dead end, and the Qing army was too late in time.

Looking at the anxious looks of everyone, Emperor Qianlong also woke up from the ecstasy of conquering Korea, and he sighed: "The loss of Shengjing is unstoppable, but if you stay in Korea, then what should you do?" ”

Zhang Tingyu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Shengjing is the land of the ancestors, and it must not be easily lost, when sending a large number of officers to Shengjing to unify the war situation, at least it can't be lost so quickly, as for the turmoil in the land of Korea, it is difficult to form a help at the moment, it is better to arrange for the army to retreat to Seoul, and then make plans." ”

"Seoul? Do you want to ....... the king of Joseon?" Emperor Qianlong said about Li Yu, who had just succeeded to the throne in Seoul, and he thought about it in his heart, but he had some other ideas.

Zhang Tingyu could naturally see what Qianlong meant, and said directly at the moment: "Your Majesty, the situation is not as good as in the past, and the North Korean people hate me a lot in the Qing Dynasty, if there is no King of North Korea to stabilize the hearts of the people in front of the stage, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty will not be able to transform the hearts of the people of the North Korean people......."

This is already euphemistic enough, you must know that the Qing army in North Korea can be described as crazy looting, but in more than a month it is killing North Korea, if it is not for the army has been pressing, I am afraid that the rebels in all parts of Korea have risen in all directions, and when the Qing army returned to Shengjing, the rebels in all parts of Korea have begun to rise.

Although the Qing army incorporated a large number of Korean troops and shaved their hair into braids, these people were not reliable, and once they really fought, they would turn against each other at any time.

Emperor Qianlong pursed his lips, and finally gave up the idea of being an emperor in Korea, so he had to say in a muffled voice: "Then who is better to send to Shengjing?" ”

This time, everyone's expressions were a little exciting, according to reason, Ma Qi, as the governor of Shengjing, would definitely go, Marseille was the governor of Shengjing, and Zhang Tingyu, as the Yin of Fengtianfu, was also to blame.

But if all three of them returned to Shengjing, Emperor Qianlong would not agree, because then he could only listen to the words of Xu Yuanmeng and Prince Zhuang, so the people to be sent to Shengjing could not only be people from Shengjing, but also people from Beijing.

The two sides began to argue, and after the ruling of Emperor Qianlong, the final result was that Ma Qi, the governor of Shengjing, and Yunlu, the prince of Zhuang, returned to Shengjing to lead the overall situation.

Ma Qi was naturally reluctant in his heart, and now he went back to designate a dead end, while Prince Zhuang Yunlu was worried about the safety of the Empress Dowager Concubine who was still in Shengjing, so he agreed, and the two led five hundred cavalry in the direction of Shengjing.

As for the others, they surrounded Emperor Qianlong and rushed back to the direction of Hancheng, and the big guys didn't have much rest along the way, for fear that they would be caught by the Fu Han army if they walked slowly........

.........

On the ninth day of the fifth month, the 40,000 troops led by Ning Zuyi, the commander of the Central Group Army, rushed to Shengjing, while Ma Qi and Prince Zhuang had killed more than 100 horses two days before, and finally rushed back to Shengjing.

Shengjing garrison deputy commander Fude saw the hundreds of cavalry behind Ma Qi, and couldn't help but feel half cold, he originally thought that it was the main force of the army, but he didn't expect to come back with such a few people, but at the moment he looked extremely desperate.

"Lord Ma Qi, what about the emperor?"

"The emperor has returned to Seoul, oh, no, it should be renamed Manseong now."

"Huh? The emperor has returned to the city, so what should we do? ”

Prince Zhuang was a little impatient when he heard this, and said loudly: "What should I do?" Cold! We can keep it for as many days as we can, and the gold and silver treasures that were shipped from North Korea before, hurry up and ship it to Xingjing - if it is intercepted by Chu Yi, it will be a big fortune! ”

Indeed, due to the Qing army's desperate looting from North Korea, in the past month or so, a large number of gold and silver property, antique calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and jade, and even a large number of large quantities of grain have been transported back to Shengjing from North Korea.

However, as soon as the Fu Han army came, these gold and silver treasures turned into a drag, and the Qing army was immediately blinded, and the big guys could only hurry up and transport their property to Xingjing, maybe they would have to transport it back to North Korea after a while, and a series of carts began to toss to Xingjing under the escort of the Qing cavalry.

In addition to a large amount of gold and silver treasures, there are more than 30,000 people captured from North Korea, they are basically young and strong men and women, originally distributed to the Eight Banners Lord's house to farm, and the food grown in the future will also be good to feed the Eight Banners Lord, but I didn't expect the Fu Han Army to fight so quickly, and these slaves could not farm the land, but were pushed to the wall of Shengjing City to defend the city.

Fude complained a little in his heart, don't you know what these people are? Let's not talk about whether it is reliable or unreliable, just this batch of tofu scum-like soldiers, what can they do if they get it to the city wall?

"My lord, the Korean soldiers are really unbearable, and the last general is worried that they will be directly defeated by the Fu Han army when the time comes......."

Ma Qi raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "Now there is a shortage of soldiers everywhere, and the young people of the Eight Banners have basically joined the army, and there is no way to transfer more people to you at the moment, so let's make do with them, and after we all arrive in Xingjing, it doesn't matter if Shengjing guards it or not......."

Hearing this, Fude also understood in his heart, and the big guys have become outcasts! Then this Shengjing is nothing more than to delay time, but what should I do when the time comes?

As soon as he thought of this, Fude was a little panicked, he hurriedly gathered the co-leaders under his command, and quietly ordered again, but if he couldn't beat it, he quickly led people to get rid of these words, and the co-leaders told the leaders under his command in the same way, but this time it made everyone in the Qing army want to fight........

In mid-May, when the morale of the Qing army was getting lower and lower, the Fu Han army was getting higher and higher, and thousands of soldiers of the Fu Han army set up a formation under Shengjing City, and more than 200 artillery pieces also opened up a formation and launched an attack on Shengjing City.

In the roar of artillery, the past Eight Banners Iron Cavalry disappeared, and now the Eight Banners New Army seems to be gone, as if the battle of Bali Bridge that day exhausted the last trace of blood and courage of the Eight Banners, what they can find in front of the North Korean army is only the last vanity, and in front of the Fu Han Army, it has completely returned to reality.

The explosion of artillery took away pieces of corpses, the Qing army was unable to organize any effective counterattack, the soldiers on the city were constantly torn apart, blood gradually flowed on the ground, mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, constituting a tragic scene, and under the city, a large number of soldiers of the Fu Han army began to attack the city.

Shi Dewei, the commander of the third company of the third battalion of the second regiment of the Praetorian Guard Division, brandished a six-shot handcuff in his left hand and a command knife in his right hand, and began to charge in the sound of drums, while behind him were hundreds of soldiers of the Fu Han Army, holding muskets and bayonets, with a bit of bloodlust on their faces, with the attitude of a victor, launched an attack on Shengjing.

"Kill!"

The sound of artillery and gunfire were intertwined, forming an unforgettable scene, but for Ning Zuyi behind the battle, it had reached the critical point of the attack, he waved his hand violently, and then four battalions of soldiers of the Fu Han Army rushed towards the direction of Shengjing City.

Fighting, explosions, blood mist, after a day of fighting, the Qing soldiers could no longer hold on, and retreated in advance, and Shengjing City also ushered in a more brutal street battle, a large number of soldiers of the Fu Han Army began to clean up the streets in an organized manner, and more and more Qing soldiers began to kneel on the ground and chose to surrender.

Prince Gong had already retreated in the direction of Xingjing with the ladies of the clan before the war, and there was also a horse team with yellow flags and eight banners, as well as dozens of carts full of treasures, but when they retreated to Salhu, it was the cavalry of the Fu Han army that intercepted them directly.

This cavalry of the Fu Han Army belongs to the third cavalry squadron under the command of the first regiment of cuirassiers of the Praetorian Division, and hundreds of cavalry were originally just to intercept the fleeing army of the Qing army, but they didn't expect to catch such a big fish in advance, but it made the squadron leader Xu Dingran excited.

Xu Dingran held a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, looked at the Qing army horse team coming from the direction of Shengjing, and laughed loudly to the left and right: "Don't take care of you in the future, as long as you nibble on this big fish today, you can eat fragrant and drink spicy!" ”

Although the rest of the cavalry of the Fu Han Army were in discipline and did not cheer, their hands had already firmly grasped the cavalry spears, and their faces were even more excited.

Prince Gong's face was a little ugly, there were only more than 800 cavalry under his command now, and although there were only more than 500 on the opposite side, it was obvious that the Qing army's numerical advantage could not erase the gap in combat power at all.

"And Lin De, hurry up and take someone to entangle this Chu rebel cavalry, this king is waiting for you in Xingjing!"

"Chir, don't worry, as long as you and Linde are still alive, you will definitely keep the prince peaceful!"

A tall Qing army leader said loudly, he looked at the Eight Banners and Yellow Flag Horse Team behind him, pulled out the saber on his waist, and said loudly: "Brothers, follow me!" ”

More than 800 horses with yellow flags, which already belonged to the last cavalry force in Shengjing City, all of them had solemn faces, clenched their spears in both hands, and under the leadership of He Linde, they launched an attack on the cavalry of the Fu Han Army in the distance.

Salhu, the last key decisive battle between the Ming and Qing dynasties broke out here, and finally laid the imperial cause of the Qing Dynasty. Today, however, Salhu has become the place where the remnants of the Qing court have fled.

The Qing army's yellow flag horse team launched a sworn attack, but in front of the cavalry of the Fu Han army, it became a joke, only to see the cavalry of the Fu Han army holding the reins, holding the muskets with both hands, and after a burst of gunfire, the Qing army horse team fell a large number of people, about seventy or eighty people.

The rest of the Yellow Flag Horse Team did not stop, and continued to attack towards the Fu Han cavalry, and at this time, the Fu Han Army cavalry pulled out the two handcuffs on the saddle, and after a crackling gunshot, the Qing Army Horse Team fell more than 200 people one after another - this time the distance between the two sides was extremely close, so the Qing Army Horse Team that rushed to the front was almost all spared.

With the heavy casualties of the Yellow Flag horse team, Xu Dingran pulled out the saber hanging on the horse and slashed it down, but he saw hundreds of cavalry of the Han Army holding sabers in their hands, like a wall advancing, but the Qing army's horse team was cut to pieces, and the Qing army's horse team could no longer hold on, and directly broke up on the spot, and He Linde was also killed.
