Chapter 366: A Vision from the Sky
"What? Liaoyang lost? ”
In the Chongzheng Palace, Huang Taiji's face was full of surprise, and he read the battle report again.
The battle of Liaoyang, the Qing army defending the city took the initiative to go out of the city to meet the battle, was frantically killed by the Ming army, after a day of fierce fighting, the Eight Banners Army was defeated, countless casualties, Baiyintu was killed by the Tianwu army, Liaoyang was lost.
Huang Taiji's hand holding the battle report trembled slightly, and he roared: "Bai Yintu, this bastard thing, I ordered him to defend Liaoyang, and he dared to go out of the city to fight!" ”
Huang Taiji was angry in his heart, and he couldn't wait to kill the dog slave with his own hands, if Liaoyang held on for another ten days and half a month, the whole situation would slowly favor the Qing Dynasty, this dog slave had been guarding for more than a month, why couldn't he hold on a little longer!
Huang Taiji shook the battle report in his hand and said: "Pass the decree, deprive Baiyintu of all titles, cut his clan status, remove his position, and exile the whole family to Ningguta!" ”
Ao Bai hurriedly said: "The emperor is angry, the Zhu family is despicable, let the traitor in Babu Hai wear a dragon robe and pretend to be the emperor, and humiliate the soldiers of the Eight Banners under Liaoyang City. ”
The ministers with yellow flags such as Kupilon also knelt down to intercede for the banner owner.
Just when Huang Taiji was irritable, suddenly a strong red band of light appeared in the sky, illuminating the entire heaven and earth.
The Emperor Taiji and the Manchu princes and ministers in the Chongzheng Hall all obviously sensed the vision outside, and hurriedly walked out of the main hall, standing on top of His Majesty Dan and looking at the sky.
I saw a very strong and dazzling and very beautiful red aperture band appear in the sky, and the whole sky was illuminated by a strong red light, fiery red, like the end of the world.
I looked at the emperor Taiji and the princes and ministers who were in a daze, and suddenly shouted: "God bless me Daqing!" ”
This voice woke everyone up, and Huang Taiji asked, "What does Mr. Ning mean by this?" ”
Ning Wan said: "This vision from the sky shows that the national fortunes of the Central Plains Dynasty will be changed, which means that my Qing Dynasty will turn defeat into victory and enter the Central Plains!" ”
Huang Taiji knew that he was proficient in literature and history, and he had a lot of research on celestial phenomena, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing it, and the princes and ministers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty also turned their worries into joys, believing that such a thing, but there are still some people who are not very optimistic, and it is not easy for the Qing Dynasty to turn the tables in front of him.
However, in the next few days, they were completely convinced, and this time the vision of heaven and earth did not appear in an instant, but for a full nine days!
In Liaoyang City, Zhu Cihong and other Ming army generals also looked at the sky with a confused face, and the whole sky was red, just like the end of the science fiction blockbuster, which made people a little scared.
"Someone crossed over again?" Zhu Cihong was a little speechless, there are too many things that are rare in this era for a thousand years.
The vision, which lasted for several days, shocked and frightened the Ming troops in the various parts of Liaodong, and when faced with the true power of heaven, humanity was always vulnerable.
Zhu Cihong knows that from a scientific point of view, this phenomenon should be a super geomagnetic storm phenomenon, which is caused by the strong collision of magnetic fields in the non-polar regions of the earth when the solar storm is particularly strong.
But now people are very superstitious, and he can't always stand up and say that it is caused by solar activity.
Zhu Cihong immediately convened an emergency mobilization meeting of the whole army, interpreted the celestial phenomena, and informed the officers and men of the whole army that the Ming army was still red, and this red celestial phenomenon represented the brilliant military might of the Ming army.
After some agitation, the morale of the various units of the Ming army was greatly boosted for a while, and they were greatly encouraged, especially after Zhu Cihong issued an order to remember his merits, the morale of the Ming army was even higher.
The decree clearly stated that the generals who took the lead in entering Shengjing City would be knighted! The troops who took the lead in planting the military flag in the Daqing Gate of the Manchu Imperial Palace were given an independent number, recorded great merits, and rewarded silver and fields!
After capturing Liaoyang, Zhu Cihong did not go to the rescue of Hong Chengchou, but ordered to kill Shengjing, the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!
The more than 100,000 Qing troops who were digging ditches by the Sancha River and waiting for rabbits were suddenly stunned, and they were tired and tired of digging trenches for more than half a month, but they didn't come at all.
Haoge, who desperately besieged Xiping Fort, was even more panicked, seeing that Xiping Fort was about to be razed to the ground, he could only hate to collect his troops and lead the army to aid Shengjing.
Previously, Huang Taiji had arranged all the Eight Banner Army, but now the entire Shengjing is empty, and there are only more than 10,000 old banners who eat and drink all day long, so that they can defend the city to the death, and it is estimated that they will not be able to hold it for even a day.
Huang Taiji publicized this vision to the greatest extent, saying that it was the auspicious fortune of the Qing Dynasty and the disaster of the Ming Dynasty, and forcibly cheered up the children of the Eight Banners who defended the city.
Except for the Qing army in Jinzhou and Fuzhou on the eastern front, all the Eight Banner armies of all other roads rushed to the aid of Shengjing, rushed to the Hunhe River in front of the Ming army, and defended Shengjing.
Dolgon, who was in Yiju, was not as anxious as Hauge, and among the reinforcements from all walks of life, he was the only one who was not in a hurry and walked slowly to Shengjing.
Dolgon originally wanted to take the opportunity to take Jinzhou, but the forward team lost one after another, and one of the forward teams of Zhengbai Banner was blocked by 17 Ming troops at the pier platform of Caijialou.
Caijia Loutai is an important pier platform in the north of Jinzhou to pass the beacon fire, and it has always been a thorn in the eye of the Eight Banners Army, and it will be eliminated quickly.
The Eight Banners Army, which had an absolute superiority in strength, faced a small pier, and with the assistance of artillery, it took a whole day to capture the Ming army's pier at a great cost.
Seeing that Jinzhou was difficult to bite, Dolgon sent thousands of cavalry to bypass Jinzhou and raid Songshan, the heavy grain and grass of the Ming army, but was unexpectedly blocked by Wang Tingchen, the general of Liaodong, and Jiang Zhu, the deputy general.
Wang Tingchen accurately judged the combat intentions of the Eight Banners Army by not receiving reconnaissance information at night, and set up an ambush early, and for a time the ambush soldiers were everywhere, bows and arrows and cannons were fired together, and the Eight Banners Army suffered heavy casualties.
After this defeat, Dolgon was also honest and had to lead the Eight Banners Army to retreat and make a detour from the west of Yiju to aid Shengjing.
Dolgon looked at the red glow in the sky, and his mind raced, and a smile appeared on his face that he had not seen in a long time.
Such a terrifying vision not only appeared in Liaodong, but also appeared in the Ming Dynasty and even in Shaanxi, and the entire northern country was shrouded in a red glow.
The people of Jingshi were frightened, and even there was a large-scale commotion in the Ming army, at this time, people were still very superstitious, believing that the anomaly in the sky meant that the dynasty would be changed.
However, at this moment, an accident happened, Li Guorui, the Marquis of Wuqing, died in the edict prison, and the other imperial relatives and nobles were in danger for a while, some people were afraid, and some people were unwilling to wait for death, secretly thinking about countermeasures.
Soon after, the relatives suddenly became the same enemy, and openly wrote to accuse Emperor Chongzhen of ignoring family affection and righteousness and abusing relatives, which was really cold-blooded, and even the heavens were angry and sent down a vision.
Then the nobles were even more connected to resist the court's subsidy, and the momentum was extremely huge for a while.
The halfway battle of the relatives and nobles made the officials see hope, and when they faced the eunuchs who were forced to borrow, their attitudes also took a 180-degree turn and hardened.
Facing the reproaches of relatives, nobles and courtiers, coupled with the vision from the sky, Chongzhen was also a little panicked in his heart, and hurriedly found Xue Guoguan, the first assistant of the cabinet.
Xue Guoguan believes that the country is in great difficulty, and the treasury is exhausted, but the princes and ministers, the emperor's relatives and relatives are all worth hundreds of millions, the mansions are even clouds, the golden horse and the jade hall, and some are silver, and the family property copied from Li Guorui's house has been hammered.
The war in Liaodong had reached a critical period and could not fall short, so Xue Guoguan insisted on the suggestion and continued to let the princes and nobles help pay until the war was over.
When Chongzhen heard this, he also felt that it made sense, if the war was lost, the loss would not only be one hundred thousand taels of silver, maybe it would really change the dynasty, and no matter what, it would be necessary to ensure the smooth completion of the war in Liaodong.
So the two agreed that Xue Guoguan was responsible for borrowing money from the ministers of civil and military affairs, and Chongzhen was responsible for continuing to borrow money from the emperor's relatives and nobles.

This vision at the end of the Ming Dynasty was real, not fabricated......
