Chapter 336: Yanjing City

"The slave respectfully invites the Queen Mother to drive the North Hunt!" The Forbidden City once again resounded with the voice of the Northern Hunt, and it was no longer from the mouths of those Southern Mongolian nobles from the Kunning Palace, but in the Fengtian Palace, in the unison chanting of a considerable number of princes, nobles, civil and military ministers.

Zheng Zhilong's army is not terrible to smash Yanjing.

It is also appropriate for Dolgon to divide his troops to hold Tongzhou and Yanjing, and as far as Tongzhou City is concerned, the small 100,000 soldiers cannot be spread. Because the defense of Tongzhou City depends on the city, canals and official roads. It was built on the foundations of those fortified bastions.

This means that there is no need to place too many troops in this place.

Dolgon asked Haoge to lead half of the people to garrison Tongzhou, and the fundamental reason was that he hoped that in the case that Zheng Jun could not take Tongzhou City, he would rely on the number of soldiers and horses in his hands to maintain a strong counterattack, so that Zheng Zhilong could not divide his troops in Yanjing.

Zheng Zhilong also has 50,000 soldiers, how many people can he leave in Tongzhou? If there is less left, it can't stop Haoge who has heavy troops, and if he stays more, what else is he fighting in Yanjing City?

Dorgon was very calculating.

It's a pity that he never calculated the impregnable Tongzhou, and he was defeated in just a few days!

When the news came, the city of Tongzhou fell, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were annihilated, and only a few people fled to the city of Yanjing, and the Dolgon people passed out.

There are 20,000 Eight Banners there, and this loss is enough to make the Manchu Qing hurt their muscles and bones.

The news spread, and in Yanjing City, white flags were hung in the east, west, north and south, and I don't know how many Tartars were crying.

However, crying will not solve the problem. The world doesn't believe in tears. The Tartars entered the south many times, burned, killed and looted, and how many lives were wasted? How many tears did the Han people in Guannai shed? Tears and weeping are of no use.

So how to solve the current dilemma of the Manchus?

It is naturally necessary to stick to Yanjing, but can Yanjing City hold it? Let's not talk about this, let's just say that the current Bumu Butai and the little emperor of Shunzhi are necessary to go north?

A scene in this hall today is the answer.

Shunzhi moved his ass uneasily, although he was still a little kid, it didn't mean that he didn't know how to do it. The Qing Dynasty has entered the fortress many times, and the Zhu Ming clan that has been caught is not one or two, but now? Which one is still alive?

Thinking that he might also be caught by Zheng Zhilong, the sworn enemy of the Qing Dynasty, he was afraid! Very scared, very scared.

With Zheng Zhilong's ferocity towards the banner people, if he, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, was caught by Zheng Jun, would he be cut by a thousand knives? Or is it like the second emperor of Huiqin after Jingkang, who was humiliated in thousands of ways, ruined in all kinds of ways, and finally had to die well?

As soon as he thought of this, Shunzhi was full of hesitation, and his heart was beating like thunder. So he is very willing to leave Yanjing City now. But he also knew that this matter was not up to him to decide, and everything depended on his wife, or Dolgon, to be exact.

Bu Mu Butai was also quite flustered in her heart, she didn't know the layout of Tongzhou very well, but she also knew that it was impregnable in Dolgon's mouth, but this impregnable Tongzhou City fell into the hands of Zheng Zhilong, can Yanjing City still be good?

On the same day, Wu Keshan and others asked for Bei Hunting, and sternly refused for her, but she did not hesitate at all, and really felt that Zheng Jun was not a threat. However, now, according to Bumu Butai's own thoughts, there is really the idea of three points of northern hunting. However, Dolgon resolutely disagreed, and Bumu Butai also knew that the influence of the Northern Hunt on the Manchus at this time was too significant and too bad.

"Dumb. Yanjing City is the land of the master, the place where the hearts of the people belong, how can they leave without permission? I won't talk about the war outside, just talk about the current situation, there are still so many Eight Banners in this city, the emperor went to the north, and Yanjing City should not be guarded? If Yanjing City is not guarded, where should so many Eight Banners families flee? It was all copied by Zheng Jun, is the Eight Banners still the Eight Banners? Without the Eight Banners, is this Qing Dynasty still the Qing Dynasty? ”

"And Yanjing City is going to be defended, why did the emperor go to the north to hunt?"

Bumu Butai shouted angrily.

This is the case, and it is impossible for the Manchus to give up Yanjing at all. Not because of the political significance of Yanjing City, but because of the banner families in Yanjing City, except for the families of the two red flags in Manchu, the rest of the six banners, the main body has moved to Yanjing.

If all the families and family members of the six banners were thrown to the Zheng family, the Manchu Eight Banners would not exist, and without the Manchu Qing of the Eight Banners, it would not be the Manchu Qing of the Manchus.

Dorgon stood aside and didn't speak, and he didn't need to. Because he knows the importance of Yanjing better than anyone else.

There are so many Eight Banners families in the city, and this Yanjing City is the lifeblood of the Qing Dynasty.

Think about the end of the Qing Dynasty in history, as long as the European powers seize Yanjing City, will they be able to seize the Tartar Eryuer?

Why? Because this is the lifeblood of the Tartars.

The same is true now.

The Manchus concentrated most of their population here, and Yanjing was where they could not be lost.

Dolgon knew very well that there would be people in the court today who would ask for orders to hunt for the north, and there would be people who would say that he would stay in Yanjing and organize troops to resist the Zheng army, so as to buy time for the retreat of Bumu Butai's mother and son and the family of the Eight Banners.

But it's all fart.

With so many people migrating, it is impossible for the gods to play like this at this time.

At the same time, Dolgon also sighed very emotionally in his heart, this is really changing rapidly.

It's only been a few days? The voice inside the Eight Banners has changed from mixing one north and south, and the horse stepping on the south of the Yangtze River has become too biting in the Guannei, and it will still be outside the Guan.

All his thoughts were now drawn to the upcoming battle. This scene in the court, it was really not seen by Dolgon at all.

According to the news from Tongzhou, Zheng Zhilong used a flowering bomb that could emit an extremely pungent smell, and it was because of this that they easily broke through the three lines of defense outside Tongzhou City.

This strange trick is unguardable, and the mouth, nose and eyes are all victims. You can cover your mouth and nose with a watery towel, but you can't cover your eyes with a damp cloth, right?

This made Dolgon have to worry about the defense line outside Yanjing City. No matter how many soldiers and horses are arranged, it's useless, isn't it?

Fortunately, there is another one, which is the human flesh bomb. But it's the best trick.

The destructive power of the flesh and blood is too great.

It is definitely an extraordinary weapon, and one must have the courage to die in order to maximize its power.

Haoge once used dead soldiers as carriers, and fought poison with Zheng Zhilong, but to a certain extent, it also inhibited the rout of the army and the progress of Zheng's army.

Unfortunately, by the time Hauge realized the problem, he had few dead soldiers left......

However, Dolgon, who had received this trick, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The fight between Haoge and Tongzhou is still effective.

Human bombs, what a powerful means. Some of the Eight Banners are athletes who dare to die!

With this trick alone, Dorgon was able to keep Zheng Jun out of the city.

If they can break through the city gate, they can break it, it's useless, as long as he can organize the dead soldiers, how many people can Zheng Zhilong take to send them to death?
