Chapter 714: Manchu Anger and Compromise (5)

"Dolgon" is the biological mother of the current Qing Emperor Fulin, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and Da Yu'er came.

Because she converted to halal in the mosque with Dolgon, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, who was a woman, had to wear halal clothes and cover her face with a veil.

As the biological mother of the Qing Emperor, as the queen mother of the Qing Dynasty, and married Dolgon as the queen mother, Da Yuer's identity is extremely special, and a copy of the news from the Braha grassland was also sent to her.

With the wisdom of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, she easily guessed the reaction of the generals of the Eight Banners, although she did not see the letter sent by the Ming army at the end, but the worry in her heart prompted her to come.

As soon as she arrived, she heard Dolgon's order to prepare an army.

"See the Queen Mother!" Ao Bai and other Manchu generals paid homage to the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang walked to the side, just picked up the letter sent by the Ming army at the end, and after a hurried glance, she was immediately shocked, with her intelligence, she understood the purpose of the Ming Dynasty in an instant, and even thought of why Dolgon ordered the Eight Banners to send troops just now.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang is a woman, and her dignity and honor are not as important as Dolgon and the Manchu generals, and the morale of the Eight Banners and the survival of the Qing Dynasty are even more important in her heart.

"Dolgon" Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was about to say something, however, Dolgon grabbed the hand of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang first.

"Da Yu'er, believe me, I will never do anything that affects the survival of the Qing Dynasty, you are waiting for me to come back in Isfahan." Dolgon said, his eyes only staring at the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang can see sincerity and reason from Dolgon's expression, and in the end, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang did not say the following words, at present, Dolgon is already her last reliance, and it is also the reliance of Fulin, she chose to believe in Dolgon completely, believe that Dolgon is still sensible, and will not really joke about the survival of the Qing Dynasty.

"Let's all go down and get ready!" After Dolgon appeased the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, he said to Ao Bai and other Eight Banner generals.

"Wow!" All the generals of the Eight Banners received their orders together.

Before he withdrew, Jihar was a little speechless, but after he quietly glanced at the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, he gritted his teeth, and finally went to prepare without saying anything.

When the Persian Empire was destroyed, Dolgon dispatched 60,000 and wounded about 14,000 people, and then the Manchu Eight Banners were reduced from 70,000 to 56,000.

"Expedition!" The horses neighed, and in the end, Dolgon left only 6,000 Manchu Eight Banners and 10,000 servant cavalry to stay in Isfahan, and the other 50,000 Manchu Eight Banners and 80,000 servant cavalry all went out, uniting 90,000 Persian banner infantry, a total of 220,000 troops.

Dolgon's purpose is very simple, for the survival of the Qing Dynasty, for the Qing Dynasty to go to glory again, he finally chose to forbear, the reason why he still took the army to the expedition, not only to appease the emotions of the generals of the Eight Banners, but also to maintain the morale of the Eight Banners, for which he chose to fight with the Ming army first, even at the risk of huge losses of the Eight Banners, he had to do so.

Originally, Dorgon only planned to take the cavalry with him, but the Persian Empire had only been defeated for a few months, and he took most of the Persian flags with him for safety.

At the same time that Dolgon rushed to the Braha grassland with the Qing army, in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, under the holy decree of Zhu Cijiao, a regular army transferred from Mongolia also came to Xinjiang, temporarily under the command of Ji Feng, Xinjiang originally had two regular troops stationed, and now with the addition of this one transferred from Mongolia, the border between the Ming and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has gathered three Ming regular troops, nearly 60,000 iron cavalry.

As the time for the Manchurians approached, Ji Feng decided to take all the regular troops of the Ming Dynasty in Xinjiang, a total of 58,000 iron cavalry, into the Bulha grassland again.

In the eighth year of the Ming Dynasty, on November 16, Ji Feng and other Ming army iron cavalry and Dolgon and other Qing troops fought in the Braha grassland.

The battle was fierce, relying on the strength of the three regular armies combined, the Ming army suddenly pressed and beat more than 200,000 Qing troops such as Dolgon.

The fierce battle has been going on for more than an hour, almost all the generals of the Eight Banners have been killed, however, under the continuous blows of rifles and grenades of the Ming army, coupled with the soldiers of the regular army of the Ming army who are also fearless to the death, the losses of the Eight Banners are heavy, and the casualties have exceeded 10,000.

The servant cavalry and the Persian banner infantry were even directly frightened by the strength of the Ming army, and were crisscrossed back and forth by the Ming army's iron cavalry, as if they were in a no-man's land, and they were in confusion and almost collapsed.

Although the Manchu Eight Banners suffered heavy casualties, the servant cavalry and Persian Banner infantry, who were beaten several times more miserably, were still impressed by the Manchu Eight Banners' fearlessness to death, and they more identified with the Manchu people's rule over them from the heart.

On the other hand, Dolgon's heart was dripping blood, and sure enough, the Ming army was even stronger than it was back then, not to mention the entire Ming Dynasty, even if there were less than 60,000 Ming troops today, he was not sure to defeat.

At this moment, Dorgon felt powerless.

In the end, Dolgon compromised at this time, sent people to strike the war against the Ming army, promised that the Qing Dynasty would go to the emperor, call the Ming Dynasty, and send envoys to pay tribute to the Ming every year in the future.

"Hmph, there are all people today!" Ji Feng sneered and sneered.

"Woo" The horn of the retreating soldiers blows.

"Woo" The Ming army also blew the horn to the retreating troops.

The soldiers on both sides began to stop fighting and withdrew from the battlefield.

"Regent, why is this" Ao Bai, Lungu and other generals of the Eight Banners seemed to have guessed something.

"Yes, for the survival of the Qing Dynasty, this king has promised the generals of the Ming army that the Qing Dynasty will go to the emperor's name, call the Ming Dynasty, and pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year!" Dorgon said it almost through gritted teeth.

"Regent, the Eight Banners have not been defeated, the Eight Banners can still fight, how can they compromise with the Ming Dynasty, where is the dignity of the Qing Dynasty and the honor of the Eight Banners!" Some of the Manchurian generals cried.

"Is dignity and honor important or the survival of the Qing Dynasty, and the survival of the clansmen important! This king wants you to remember today's shame, and one day, this king will bring you back, and the Qing Dynasty is invincible! Dolgon shouted angrily.

The main purpose of fighting this battle was to preserve the morale and blood of the Eight Banners, and also to let the Eight Banners deeply remember today's shame, and Dolgon took great pains.

"It's the incompetence of the minions, and the Qing Dynasty is invincible!"

"The Qing Dynasty is invincible!"

The Eight Banners shouted up and down, and in an instant, the Eight Banners, which were already extremely united, became even more united, and at the same time, they were still holding back a breath in their hearts, which invisibly greatly improved their morale and combat effectiveness in the future.

In the distance, Ji Feng and the others heard the shouts of the Manchurians on the way to withdraw their troops.

The struggle of the Manchurians did not make Ji Feng's heart fluctuate in the slightest, and Ji Feng sneered: "Hmph, the Qing Dynasty is invincible? Manren really has the face to shout out. If it weren't for the emperor's decree, if it weren't for the limited supplies he carried, he would have been able to destroy all the Eight Banners today and capture Dolgon alive! ”

Ji Feng is not joking, the three regular army iron cavalry of the Ming Dynasty are almost invincible in the field, Ji Feng did not expect that Dolgon would dare to fight them in the Braha grassland, the reason why the Ming Dynasty is not good to destroy the current Manchu Qing Dynasty, the premise is that the Manchus do not fight head-on with the Ming army, and the Ming Dynasty needs to attack step by step, which undoubtedly requires a lot of material support, and it takes a lot of material support to transport enough materials from the interior of the Central Plains to the border across thousands of miles to destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty. However, if the Manchus fought a decisive battle with the Ming in the field as they did today, it would be easy for the Ming to destroy the Manchus, and even now, keeping the Manchus was just a strategic need for Zhu Cijiao.

In a big battle, the Ming army subdued the Qing army, which can be described as a great victory, on the other hand, the Qing army, not only lost tens of thousands of soldiers, but also got an incomparable humiliation, and the whole Eight Banners were overwhelmed by this shame.

Instead of returning to Isfahan with a large army, Dorgon turned southeast and headed for the Mughal Empire.

On November 19, Dolgon, with 100,000 iron cavalry and nearly 80,000 Persian infantry, once again invaded the territory of the Mughal Empire and slaughtered the people of the Mughal Empire after more than three months.

Dolgon apparently passed on the humiliation brought upon them by the Ming army to the Mughal Empire, whose suffering had only just begun.

On November 25, the Manchu Qing announced in Isfahan that they would go to the emperor's title, changing the name from the empire to the kingdom, Fulin was called the king of the Qing Kingdom, and Dolgon was changed to the regent of the royal father, and at the same time, Dolgon sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty to formally pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and negotiated with the Ming to exchange 200,000 Manchu prisoners.

After the Ming Dynasty accepted the Manchu Dynasty's vassals, the Ministry of Industry specially made a Ming Dynasty and the Qing Kingdom Seal for the Manchu envoys to bring back to Isfahan, and at the same time, Zhu Ci agreed that the Manchus would exchange 100 million taels of silver for more than 200,000 prisoners in the Ming Dynasty.

In December, more than 200,000 Manchu captives on both sides of the Yellow River in Shaanxi Province began to travel to the border between the Ming and Manchu Qing dynasties in Xinjiang.

At the end of December, 100 million taels of silver were transported to Nanjing, and the people of the Ming Dynasty cheered.
