First of all, Xiluo City was besieged by the Shun army under the leadership of Dashun Ruhou, and all the Ming troops of the Qianhu Imperial Palace, which had few troops, were trapped in the city, and the most important thing is that the city gate has not been closed!

This made the Ming army have to send soldiers to plug this loophole, so the army set fire to the cannon and threw it into the city with stone throwers and things containing wine cans, and the wine canisters smashed into the city fell on the city and the streets of the city everywhere, making the anxious Ming army rush around in a panic to defend against the rogues, and accidentally fell to the ground.

Careless soldiers naturally didn't dare to get up so much and continue to run to defend against the enemy, only a few careful soldiers realized that something was wrong?

Is the water on the ground wine? You must know that the spirit alcohol in the Ming Dynasty had a very high degree of 40 degrees, which could completely cause a raging fire, so the soldiers began to panic when they saw this!

Ming Guangning, who commanded the battle above the city tower, prepared the front of the imperial thousand households, and commanded with a knife: "Resist!" Give Ben a resist! ”

And Dashun Ruhou, who was on horseback outside the city, smiled and waved his hand and ordered the artillerymen and archers to fire, solid cannonballs and rocket artillery, flying into the city (dong, dong, dong) and exploding, some shell fragments splashed into the wine, and quickly burned.

The fire continued to spread, and the Ming soldiers in the burning were walking around in pain, some rolling on the spot and shouting, and it was very unpleasant to see that the Ming Guangning Zhongqian Yu Qianhu above the city tower was very uncomfortable, he raised his head and looked at the sky and thought; God, am I destined to die here today?

After speaking, he drew his sword and led the soldiers to slash the rogues who landed in the city, and the Ming army at the gate of the city gradually decreased, and they were hacked to death one by one!

On the other side, outside the city of Dongluo, the commander of the Ming Guangning Qiantun Guard, led the cavalry and the pursuit of Da Shun Mianhou, launched the shooting plug of the field cavalry chase, this move the Ming army had a slight upper hand, because the Ming army of the Guangning Qiantun Wei also belonged to the cavalry outside the Guan, and then there were Ming infantry around the slashing and killing of the Liukou, so the Shun army could not gain the upper hand.

In addition, it was a mobile battle, so that the Shun artillery battalion had no way to set up artillery to meet the enemy, and even the Shun army's musketeers and archers could only run on the spot and release a few arrows, and they were slaughtered by the Ming cavalry who were roundabout left and right.

In order to be able to hold off the Shun army so that the cavalry could strike at the Liukou easily, the commander of the Ming Guangning Qiantun guard decided to send the Ming army with a team of musketeers and pikemen to arrange a separate formation, and use the cavalry cover to let them quickly reload so as to have enough time to suppress the fire.

Then the artillery battalion set up an artillery formation and began to load and prepare, and the general cannon with the muzzle of the large and small guns, the Frankie cannon of the Baizi Grip, the Qianzi Thunder Cannon, the Attack Cannon, the Exterminating Cannon and other artillery guns fired the scorching shells together, and the power was amazing! The recoil is particularly high.

Basically, after the ignition of the loaded shells, the Ming soldiers covered their ears and squatted down a few steps back to avoid the sound of the cannon and the vibration, because the muzzle of the cannon often happened, which was similar to the explosion of the barrel with a firearm! All of them are caused by the immaturity of the iron industry.

The bombed rogue cavalry began to gradually appear in a state of confusion, and the Ming army, which was wandering and shooting, took advantage of the gradual fire to kill the rogue cavalry, and the lead bullets with white gunpowder smoke continued to shoot at the rogue cavalry, and some of the rogue cavalry were almost killed by three or four bullets.

The Liukou cavalry was forced to use a chariot with nails similar to the "Iron Floating Slaughter Chariot" to defeat the Ming cavalry of the Ming army.

Due to the temporary use of the time and no actual combat operation, it is just a chariot made of the captured Daming (partial box car) and rotating rolling nails, and the lethality is not as powerful as the historical Jin Army Iron Floating Tu chariot, but it is also amazingly powerful!

Swept a row of past Ming cavalry either killed or wounded, some fell off their horses directly and were stabbed to death by rolling nails, some were hit and slashed by the rogue cavalry, suppressed the Ming cavalry, and then divided the archery team and infantry to deal with the Ming artillery battalion, resulting in the Ming army guarding the artillery had to let the pikemen fight.

On the main battlefield here, the Guanning Iron Cavalry is still fighting with the Shun army, the two sides are evenly matched, and all the troops to which Dashun belongs; The fire guncorps, the hammer soldiers, the sword players, the heavy armor soldiers, the light and heavy cavalry, the artillery battalions, the archery teams, and the pro-guard troops, all went out to meet the enemy and completely surrounded the Ming army of the Ming Ning Yuanwei General Army, leaving only a small road behind them as a route to retreat from the Shahe Station.

For the regent of the Manchu emperor, the battle between Ming and Shun was exactly what he wanted to see, so after he arrived at a stone area, he set up camp on the spot and remained in a state of immobility, because he was always suspicious of the "borrowed soldiers" of the three Wu brothers.

The herald of the Ming army, who escaped from the battlefield and was about to report the news, was shot off his horse by the Manchu Qing Dynasty soldiers with bows and arrows, captured him, and stopped him with a knife on his neck and asked: "Jurchen language: Stop!" Who are you? ”

The Ming soldiers who sorted out the big caps clenched their fists and said, "Spare your life!" The small, small one is that the general soldier of Fengning Yuanwei came to give an order to let the Dongyu, oh it wasn't the Qing army that sent troops to fight. ”

The Manchu Qing Zheng White Flag soldier who couldn't understand the official language of the Ming Jianghuai had to escort him to meet the two Manchu princes.

When he was escorted to the hillside, he saw two men in silver-white cotton armor, wearing a bowl with a gourd and red tasseled helmet on their heads, and two white feathers stuck on the top, riding two armored war horses in front of the eastern captarians.

I saw the Dongyu soldiers salute and kneel down and ask for instructions: "Jurchen language: Qiqi, two princes, I will catch one of the escaped Ming soldiers, please send it down." ”

The bloodthirsty two Manchu princes waved their hands to kill without thinking about it, but the general around him said, "Jurchen language: Lord Wang, I don't think he is a deserter?" Why don't you ask him first about the whereabouts of the three brothers of the Wu family? ”

After the two Manchu princes who felt that there was some truth in this, they asked the general to ask, and after the reasonable general interrogated the matter in fluent Jianghuai official dialect, they immediately told the two Manchu princes that they learned that the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the rest of the Ming army were so strong in combat! is worthy of being the border army of the Ming Empire, which makes them ashamed!

couldn't help but sigh, "Jurchen language: This Guan Ning Iron Horse really deserves its name!" With more than 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Wu family alone, they were able to resist the 250,000 people of the Dashun army for so long! It seems that they still have some ability, so after the war, the king has to remind the royal father regent, the three brothers of the Wu family and the Guanning Iron Cavalry must not stay, they must be cut down and eradicated! ”

At the same time, in the Nanzhili area, he repelled the Liukou army to defend the south of the Yangtze River, and returned to the Nanzhili Yingtianfu Nanjing City, and announced to the ministers the death of the current Ming Emperor in the Huagai Palace! When the ministers learned the news, they burst into tears and wept, but after calming down, everyone thought that the country could not be without a king for a day, and a new emperor should be established as soon as possible.

But there is a debate about the ownership of the throne?

Because from the pedigree alone, it is explained that Emperor Guangzong Taichangzhen: Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the emperor Ming Xizong Tianqizhe Emperor: Zhu Youxiao, the fifth son of the emperor Ming Yizong Chongzhen Lie, Zhu Youzhen, the second son of the second son of the second son of the emperor Ming Jianhuai: Zhu Youji, the third son of the emperor Ming Qisi Prince: Zhu Youji, the fourth son of the emperor Ming Huaihui Prince: Zhu Youmo, the sixth son of the emperor Ming Xianghuai Prince: Zhu Youxu, the seventh son of the emperor Ming Huizhao Prince: Zhu Youhu, have all died!

The first emperor Emperor Ming Xizong Tianqizhe was childless, and now the great emperor is martyred, even the crown prince and the third prince of the Ming Dynasty, Prince Dingai: Zhu Cijiong, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, Prince Yongmourning: Zhu Cijiong, the fifth prince of the Ming Dynasty, Prince Mourning: Zhu Cihuan, are all missing!

Therefore, the ministers proposed that they should choose one of the sons of His Majesty Emperor Wanli Xian of Mingshenzong and the younger brothers of Emperor Taichangzhen of Mingguangzong.

First of all, the ministers chose Prince Mingfugong, the third son of Mingshenzong: Zhu Changxun, Yimai as the heir to the throne! After all, Mingshenzong has always wanted to establish Prince Ming Fugong as the crown prince during his lifetime, so he was involved in the "national capital dispute" opposed by the Donglin Party, and now it can be regarded as returning to the original owner!

Moreover, the new Prince Mingfu: Zhu Yousong, now lives in Shangyuan County, outside Nanjing, and can be enthroned in the palace at any time, so as long as the first emperor prince and the three princes can not reach the south of the palace to succeed to the throne of Tianfu Nanjing City, Prince Mingfu is the first successor, in order to ensure the legitimacy of the throne, everyone decided to first support the prison state, and then elect the throne as the emperor.

However, the Donglin Party held the opposite opinion, with the leader of the Donglin Party, the Ming Rite Department, the Qing official Shi Langzhong: Qian Qianyi, headed by the "Lixian in the name" to advocate the establishment of the Ming Shenzong's nephew Prince Ming Lu Min: Zhu Changshu, as the new Ming Emperor (Jian Guo), even the Ming Nan Zhili Military Department Shangshu who was present also agreed with this law, and also claimed that His Royal Highness Prince Fu (in the domain is disloyal and unfilial, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the world to be a major event!). ）

But Prince Minglu Min is of remote bloodline and lacks a reason to ascend the throne! However, his reputation won him the sympathy and support of many people, and even if the emperor could not handle government affairs, the responsible courtiers could still maintain the normal functioning of the political institutions.

Judging from the situation, what the ministers of Liudu need now is only a formal spiritual leader (emperor) and not necessarily a virtuous monarch with great talents, so the Shangshu of the military department of the Ming Southern Zhili immediately pointed out the seven reasons why Prince Mingfu cannot be established, "greed, lewdness, alcoholism, unfilial piety, abuse, not studying, interfering with the division" are all taboos!

Moreover, it is impossible for the ministers to ask for a nationwide screening, because there are too many vassal kings, and there are always a large number of careerists who take the opportunity to take advantage of the support to fight for merit, and then the situation of the Ming Dynasty is bound to fall apart and become out of control.

Although Prince Mingfu has all kinds of shortcomings! But after all, in terms of relationship, he is the cousin of the first emperor, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that it must be more appropriate to support him on the throne.

However, the Donglin Party insisted on opposing it, but tried its best to support Prince Minglu Min, which was not as verbally said that Prince Minglu Min was virtuous, but because Prince Mingfu's imperial grandmother, Ming Zheng Huang Guifei, she was the most favored concubine of Mingshenzong, and had been instigating Mingshenzong to establish his son Prince Mingfugong: Zhu Changxun, as the crown prince.

Of course, Mingshenzong has always wanted Prince Mingfugong to be his successor, but the ministers of the court and the central government unanimously advocated supporting the emperor's eldest son: Zhu Changluo, as the prince, because according to the principle of "having a grandson and establishing a long-term heir", Zhu Changluo is the best candidate for the crown prince.

This battle for the throne lasted for many years, until 1601 AD, the twenty-ninth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Changluo was set up as the crown prince.

After that, the sensational cases such as the "Demon Book Case", the "Attack Case", and the "Palace Removal Case" were all related to the Ming Zheng Emperor's concubine, and there are indications that the mastermind behind it is the Ming Zheng Emperor's concubine herself?

In all these major cases, the Donglin Party of the imperial court did not hesitate to stand on the side of the imperial dynasty, that is, on the side of the Ming crown prince: Zhu Changluo, this side resolutely attacked the interests of the Ming Zheng Imperial Concubine and the Ming Fugong Prince, and also deeply offended them.
