In Shanhaiguan, a group of generals of the Guanning army gathered in one place, and Wu Sangui summoned them to discuss the surrender.

Of course, he did not say that he would surrender to the Manchus. The generals of the Guanning Army all thought that they were going to surrender to Li Zicheng.

When Zhang Ruoqi came, they all saw it, Li Zicheng was generous, and he treated Wu Sangui with great courtesy, and the conditions given could not be more generous.

But everyone wants to be faced, this Ming is still there, but their elite soldiers, who were supported by the world's financial resources of the Ming Dynasty, turned around and voted for Li Zicheng, the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, which made many people feel ashamed.

However, the Jingshi has changed hands, not to mention that the artifact is surnamed Li, at least in this northern land, Li Zicheng's great shun is like the rising sun in the east, unstoppable.

How to look at the fall of the rule of the Ming Dynasty in the north is a foregone conclusion, Li Zicheng's Dashun Dynasty will replace the Zhu dynasty and become the new master of the north of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, only by relying on this new regime, can they have a way out of the Guanning army.

Otherwise, after the autumn, their Guanning army will run out of food and lose themselves without a fight.

What's more, judging from Li Zicheng's treatment of Wu Sangui, he values them very much to the Guanning Army, and everyone doesn't need to move their belongings anymore, and in the future, the army will be stationed there to guard the east for the new dynasty.

And Wu Sangui has a reward, and they will not be less one by one. For them, the soldiers, isn't this what everyone is pursuing?

As long as they serve the new dynasty, once the pursuit is all in hand, thinking about it will make them feel beautiful in their hearts. In addition, in this way, their future is not to be mentioned, and the life and property of the family are also guaranteed, which is simply the best of both worlds.

No one knew that Wu Sangui had made up his mind to surrender to the Manchus after careful consideration, but he couldn't say it explicitly. Because he was worried about whether his subordinates' thoughts could be in line with him, especially in the current time of fierce political turmoil, people's minds were in turmoil, and he couldn't figure out their true plans. Therefore, he had to test the ideological trends of his subordinates first. He deliberately asked the generals: "The capital is lost, the first emperor will go to Jinmen, and he will go south in a few days, and Shanhaiguan has become an isolated island." Sangui received the favor of the country, and it is advisable to repay the country with death. But where should tens of thousands of soldiers go, and what will happen now? ”

The generals were silent, and no one answered. Otherwise, it will be recorded in history, and it will be too bad a reputation. Although their martial artists do not care about the conclusion of the coffin of Qingshi as much as the literati, no one is willing to take risks.

This is to serve the new dynasty, and you Wu Sangui will take advantage of it even more, and the matter will naturally start with you Wu Sangui. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Wu Sangui asked three times in a row, but no one dared to express his opinion. Immediately, he looked around at the faces of each general with a compelling gaze, and said in a heavy tone: "The new dynasty is powerful, Tang Tong, Jiang Hao, Wang Chengyun and others have all surrendered, and I can't stand on my own alone." Speaking of this, he raised his voice again and asked categorically: "Now the angel of Dashun has arrived, what is it to cut or welcome?" ”

Wu Sangui's aggressive questioning made the generals and officials feel shocked, as if they had just woken up from a dream, and invariably issued a voice: "Today's death and life are the only general's life!" ”

It is to express everything, but Wu Sangui's order is to listen.

Wu Sangui was overjoyed. Only then was the decision announced: the envoys were officially received and the peasant army was to surrender.

To cut off Guan Ningjun's hope of joining Li Zicheng, these words cannot come out of Wu Sangui's mouth, but only from Zhang Ruoqi's mouth. At the same time, he also invited Wang Yongji, the governor of Suncheon, to attend.

The latter did not flee back to Beijing after the loss of Changping, but went directly to Shanhaiguan. This is the same as the fact that Li Jiantai, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, did not run back to the capital after the loss of Taiyuan, but ran straight to Baoding.

Shanhaiguan was full of lights, and the General Soldier's Mansion was full of joy, and the middle door was opened to welcome Zhang Ruoqi, who went out for a walk and came back.

Then Zhang Ruoqi, the master known to many Liaodong generals, opened his mouth and released a big bomb in the hall.

In general, it is just some fictitious things that Zhang Guan Li Daizi has. Li Zicheng is still a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, but he did not torture and recover stolen goods, wantonly copied and inspected the people, and robbed Jianyin.

Zhang Ruoqi's words can be changed to the rogue version of Li Zicheng, or the historical version of Li Zicheng. But it can't be used to talk about the current Li Zicheng.

The Guanning generals in the hall were all stunned, what was going on?

Is Zhang Ruoqi feverish and burnt? Or does Wu Sangui not vote for Li Zicheng?

Who doesn't know that Zhang Ruoqi has a close relationship with Wu Sangui, and he has lived in the General Military Mansion for many days before. Then what he said now and what he expressed could only be Wu Sangui's proposition.

The latter didn't say a word, and only glanced at Wang Yongji, who was sitting on the side.

The latter appeared on the stage and also released a big bomb - borrowing the help of the teacher.

Whose 'teacher' are you borrowing? Naturally, it was the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

"If you invite the northern soldiers (that is, the Qing soldiers) to enter the customs and annihilate the 'Li thief' together, you will be rewarded for success."

The news quickly swept through Shanhaiguan, Zhang Leshu's mouth was wide open, if Wu Sangui surrendered to Li Zicheng, he would still be able to understand. But this birdman actually wants to surrender to the Manchu Tartars?

also borrowed the help of the teacher, and said it nicely, isn't it just a fig leaf for himself.

In Chinese history, there have indeed been cases in which one of the parties in the civil war introduced foreign vassal forces and finally reversed the outcome of the war, such as the Tang Dynasty borrowed the Hui forces to quell the Anshi Rebellion and recover Luoyang, Chang'an; Shi Jingjiao led the Khitan forces to help in the war and defeated the Later Tang Dynasty. But who are the masterminds of both? That's not Wu Sangui, who is just a side general.

Without the will of the imperial court, why did Wu Sangui borrow his teacher to help suppress it?

But Zhang Leshu's indignation couldn't stop the general trend at all, and even he hurriedly asked people to pack their luggage and board a boat to go to the sea and run towards Juehua Island.

Wu Sangui also released a true scripture, saying that Wu Sangui's dignified husband, how could he be willing to descend to this traitor and be scolded by all generations?

……

Shengjing, Dolgon entered the palace happily after getting Wu Sangui's letter of surrender.

The Yongfu Palace is plain, and Bumu Butai is still serving Huangtaiji during the filial piety period, so there are naturally no flowers in the palace.

Knowing that Dorgon had come to the palace, he was waited by the maids of the court, dressed up, and had his simple clothes smoked with the finest spices, and there was not much gold and silver jewelry on his head, except for a few large pearls, which were all made of white silk flowers. But if you want to be filial piety, this dress will only be more tempting in the eyes of Dolgon, who is full of flowers in the back house. The big eyes did not have the sad look that ordinary young widows often have, but they were always shining with a bright aura.

After Dorgon had made a brief pilgrimage, Bumubutai ordered him to sit down on a chair across from him, and first asked:

"The Nine Kings urgently entered the palace, but what are the important state affairs?"

Dolgon's expression was relaxed, and there was no awe on his face, and he said, "The minister is here to report the good news to the Queen Mother." ”

Annunciation? That's a good thing. "Where does this joy come from?" Bumu Butai showed a hint of excitement, what was Dolgon busy these days, although she didn't know very well, but she had heard about it.

If there is good news in this matter, it will be a great joy.

Thinking of this, she waved her hand to the left and right. The four palace maids standing beside her did not dare to hesitate, and immediately withdrew from the room with a light body. Only one Su Mo'er was left around.

"Wu Sangui sent a letter of surrender, to 'borrow the teacher to help suppress', I can enter the customs and go south without a single soldier, isn't this a great joy."

Bu Mu Butai didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment. Her genuine husband has been working hard outside the customs for more than ten years, and has entered the fortress several times, but he has never dared to give birth to the idea of seizing Yanjing, that is, he knows that the Ming Dynasty still has capital.

Who would have imagined that less than a year before Huang Taiji's death, a great opportunity was placed in front of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. My son is indeed a real dragon! If not, can An have such great luck?

"This palace also wants to congratulate the Nine Kings." What the latter was thinking about, Bumu Butai knew very well.

"Hahaha......" Dorgon laughed. The Qing Dynasty is about to enter the customs, and if he can really gain a firm foothold in Yanjing in one fell swoop, then his reputation as Dolgon will completely suppress Huang Taiji's legacy.

Dolgon, who was in high spirits, grabbed Bumu Butai's little hand, pulled him into his arms, and then picked it up and went to the apse. Su Mo'er lowered her head and her face turned red, but she didn't dare to say a word. Only firmly guarded outside......

After the clouds dissipated, Bumu Butai spread his green silk on Dolgon's chest, "It's a pity that the money in Yanjing City, the army was defeated by the thieves in a battle, and those money are cheap for them." ”

In the Manchu Qing Dynasty earlier, when Huang Taiji was still alive, someone invited troops to enter the customs and go straight to Yanjing City. But was rejected by Huang Taiji.

In the past year, the situation in Zhu Ming's northern land has suddenly deteriorated, and in February, someone proposed that Li Zicheng should enter Yanjing one step ahead of him, and then defeat Li Zicheng in one fell swoop, thus occupying the Central Plains. This is the same idea as asking Huang Taiji to enter the customs at the beginning.

Dolgon, however, vetoed the proposal. Because he thinks it's better to let the thieves capture Yanjing City first, and then go and defeat the thieves and take Yanjing City from the hands of the thieves.

Some reasons also directly persuaded Bumu Butai, it was not a pajama, it was really convinced.

The wealth in Yanjing City was obtained by Li Zicheng, which of course would be distressing, but as long as the Qing Dynasty could seize the country, Yanjing City was the place where the Manchu Qing Dynasty built the capital in the Guannei, so why not lose the wealth and goods from all over the country to Yanjing?

And Li Zicheng claimed to have personally led 500,000 elite soldiers to attack the Beijing division, and there was still a large army behind. According to Fan Wencheng's judgment, this is an exaggeration, the actual strength of the thieves will not be very large, but if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, right? What's more, the entire northern land has been occupied by Li Zicheng, and the roads are all unblocked, who dares to say that Li Zicheng can't really send troops to reinforce him? What's more, even if there are 200,000 horses, this force should not be underestimated.

You can't be negligent with an army of 200,000, you must see the opportunity and kill with one blow.

At the same time, Li Zicheng's army fought successively, and his vigor was flourishing, and he was determined to win the Beijing division, and if the two armies met in the capital, it would be very unwise to meet the enemy with 100,000 eight banner soldiers to meet the 200,000 sharp and powerful enemy. Not to mention that their entry into the customs is an invasion, which will definitely arouse the strong dissatisfaction of the Han people, and Li Zicheng's march into Beijing is the internal replacement of the Han people, and the help is far less than that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, it is not a good strategy to go hundreds of miles deep into the Han land to fight a strong enemy. It is still necessary to be cautious and fully prepared, and strive to defeat the enemy in one stop.

Taking a step back, that is, we cannot defeat the enemy in one battle, and we must also ensure our own safety.

"Wu Sangui wants to borrow the help of the division to suppress, this news has spread to Yanjing, it will definitely make Li Thief angry, if Li Thief personally raises a large army to attack and kill, then the opportunity to break the enemy and win is just around the corner!"
