This team of Ming troops armed with nine dragon arrows, fire dragon arrows, seven-star arrows, fire crossbow meteor arrows and other fast-firing multi-barreled firearms, with intensive firepower to hit the left army of the Chuang Army: Ma Yuanli, the artillery men of the Chuang Army under his command did not let the thieves have any ability to fight back, in order to achieve the goal of completely repelling the thieves, the Governor of Ming Huguang also ordered the Ming army ambush soldiers to wave their flags and shout, so that the eight kings mistakenly thought that the Ming army had a large number of ambushes to attack? He hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat, and the Ming army in the city was overjoyed, and the Ming army stopped firing after firing a few cannons to force the thieves to retreat.

The frightened Eight Kings did not dare to stop when their helmets fell to the ground when they fled, and they continued to flee three miles away to a forest before stopping to rest, and the panting Eight Kings slowed down and opened the water bag to drink some water, and then saw Feng Shuangli, the military governor of the army, who ran to report in a panic, "Report to the Eight Kings No, it's not good!" ”

Mistakenly thinking that it was the Ming army chasing and killing, the eight kings ran to ride their war horses, only to see the military governor running over after the army and said, "The Ming and Ming armies did not chase and kill?" According to the report of the horse, there was no Ming army chasing behind him. The Eight Kings who got the news realized that they had been tricked by the Ming Army as a monkey once, and the angry Eight Kings regretted not listening to Li Dingguo's advice.

This time he let the general Anxi of the army act as the vanguard, and he led the rest of the army to continue to return to attack, the Ming generals who had just repelled the thieves were still immersed in joy, and they did not react for a while to be caught off guard by the thieves who attacked again, and twenty general cannons bombarded the city tower in turn, and the Ming army defending the city began to retreat when they could not resist, and the general Anxi of the army took the lead in leading the army to attack the city.

The governor of Minghuguang and the general soldiers of Minghuguang, who were still talking and laughing in the city, saw the sound of fighting above the city tower and hurriedly led the army of his cronies to flee from Houcheng to Chenglingji, but was attacked by the general Pingdong of the army: Sun Kewang, and the Ming army forcibly opened the formation to meet the battle, but the general Pingdong of the army did not give the Ming army any opportunity to set up the formation, and directly sent cavalry to disrupt the formation in the withdrawal to bombard the Ming army with artillery fire, resulting in the defeat of the Ming army, leaving only part of the army behind, and the rest of the Ming army covered the retreat of the governor of Minghuguang into Changsha Mansion.

At this time, Wu Junzhen and his entourage also returned to Tongguan Wei, and handed over the medicinal materials to the Ming Tongguan guards to record them in the book, Wu Youke was very happy to learn that the people sent out to collect medicine came back, and specially brought bird's nest soup to see Wu Junzhen in the camp and asked, "Mr. Qian, this time can be described as hard, the old man specially prepared some supplements for Mr. Qian, and asked Mr. Qian's face to taste?" Wu Junzhen was very grateful, picked up the spoon and drank a few sips of bird's nest soup, feeling good, so he asked, "I didn't think that Dr. Wu would make supplements?" Doctor Wu said in a low-key manner, "Where, where, in front of Mr. Qian, the old man is really ugly!" ”

At this moment, a military doctor in the barracks who was holding a decoction and feeding the patient to drink suddenly fell to the ground? The soldiers were a little scared, and when they got closer, they found that the military doctor Lang Zhong was also suffering from the epidemic, and the soldiers who were at a loss hurriedly ran to report Wu Youke, only to see the soldiers hurriedly break into the account and say, "Report, Dr. Wu, there is an old military doctor Lang Zhong unfortunately infected with the epidemic!" I also asked Dr. Wu to go to the doctor as soon as possible. ”

Wu Youke was very anxious and hurriedly lifted the medicine box and put on a towel and left, Wu Junzhen also put on a towel and chased him out and followed him to the area of the seriously ill patient, the scene in front of him almost made Wu Junzhen vomit, only to see rows of corpses lying on the cart that had died of the epidemic, and the facial expressions were very terrifying, all showing the appearance of (bleeding from the seven orifices), Wu Junzhen was so panicked that he quickly turned around and vomited.

Then the soldiers brought up Lang Zhong, an old military doctor who was suffering from the epidemic, and when Dr. Wu saw that his face was blue and trembling, and there was still a lot of white saliva left in his mouth, he shook his head in disappointment and said, "Hey! I didn't save him, this is the middle of the epidemic, pull it down and find a place to bury it! Seeing that Langzhong, a veteran military doctor who followed him to investigate the epidemic in the past, was also infected with the plague, Wu Junzhen was very sad, and he ordered the soldiers to bury Langzhong, a military doctor.

On the 9th day of August, in the northern part of the Ming Empire, outside the Shanhaiwei Pass, in the Shengjing City, the Manchu Dynasty Taizong: Aixin Jueluo Huang Taiji, because of the death of the Manchu Dynasty Concubine: Borzigit Hailanzhu, became increasingly depressed, drank all day long, ignored national politics, and eventually died of illness in the Qingning Palace due to excessive drinking.

As soon as this news spread, there was a struggle for the throne within the Manchu Eight Banners, and the Manchu and Shuorui princes: Aixin Jueluo Dolgon (Later Jin Heavenly Mandate Khan: Aixin Jueluo Nurhachi, the 14th brother of the fourteenth son Huang Taiji), and the Manchu and Shuosu princes: Aixin Jueluo Haoge (Nurhachi's grandson and the eldest son of Huang Taiji) and the Manchu and Shuo Zheng princes: Aixin Jueluo Zilharang, began to fight.

At that time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Prince of Shuorui tried to dominate the power with military strength, and received the support of the three banners of Zhenghong, Zhenglan, and Zhenghuang, and their own Zhengbai and inlaid white flags helped to increase their power greatly, so the Manchu Ying County King: Aixin Jueluo Adali, the Manchu and Shuoli Prince Beizi: Aixin Jueluo Shuozhi, the two persuaded the Manchu Qing and Shuorui Prince to establish themselves as emperors.

On August 14th, the Manchu and Shuoli Princes: Aixin Jueluo Daishan, the Manchu Heshuo Zheng Prince: Aixin Jueluo Zierharang, the Manchu and Shuoyu Princes: Aixin Jueluo Duoduo, the Manchu and Shuorui Princes: Aixin Jueluo Dolgon, and other princes came to the Chongzheng Palace to participate in the meeting on the ownership of the throne, and the Manchu and Shuorui princes said: "Jurchen language: Before the death of my father Khan last time, I had the right to ascend the throne with a jade pendant in my hand, but I was willing to surrender, and this time the king will not give in!" And the Manchu Qing and Shuo Prince Zheng said: "Jurchen language: On the merits of the war, the king also followed the emperor to attack the Monan, Mongolia, Horqin and Bahrain departments, and then went east to the Li dynasty and the south to fight the Ming court, and the king was worthy of the throne with great military achievements. ”

Seeing the two arguing, the Manchu Qing and the prince of Shuosu also stood up and said, "Jurchen language: what are you arguing about? In terms of qualifications, I am the eldest son of the first emperor, and the position of crown prince should be inherited by me, and no one can compare with me. "But the other two kings don't obey him at all! After all, he is still qualified and has no obvious achievements, so no one obeys him.

Due to the controversy, the final contradiction was mainly concentrated in the two yellow flags headed by the Manchu and Shuosu princes, as well as the Manchu and Shuorui princes, the Manchu and Shuoyu princes: Aixin Jueluo Duoduo, the two white flags led by the two sides of the conflict, and no one was willing to back down half a step, especially the Manchu and Shuorui princes because their mother (Manchu Xiaoliewu Empress: Nala Abahai) was given to death by Huang Taiji and the major Baylors and Daishan, so the Manchu and Shuorui princes had long hated Huang Taiji's heirs, and they were ready to meet Haoge soldiers.

At the time of the army, the Manchu Qing and the Prince Shuorui considered that the two yellow, two red and two blue six banners did not support their situation, began to give up the conditions for self-establishment as the emperor, most of the resistance came from the two yellow banners of the former emperor Taiji's cronies and ministers, forcing the Manchu and Shuorui princes had to give up the idea of being the emperor, and finally the Manchu Qing and Shuoli princes agreed to support the ninth son of the emperor Taiji, only 6-year-old Aixin Jueluo Fulin, that is, the emperor, after all, he is the son of Da Yuer, and Da Yuer is Dorgon's favorite woman, so he decided to reluctantly support him.

Shen Shi in the Shengjing City Grand Hall of the Manchu Dynasty Xiaozhuang Empress Dowager Wen: Borzigit Bumu Butai, wearing a bright yellow (court robe) twelve chapters with Fu Lin slowly walked up to the palace and sat on the throne of the dragon, and then the Manchu Qing and Shuoli princes came to the palace with the holy decree to announce the kings of Beile and other ministers, and jointly swore an oath to heaven and earth to declare Fu Lin as the emperor.

At the same time, it was announced that the ministers would be the regent of the Manchu and Shuorui princes, and the Manchu and Shuozheng princes would be the auxiliary uncles of Xinyi, and they would assist the Manchu emperor in managing the state affairs, and the Manchu Xiaozhuang Empress Dowager Wen was responsible for listening to the government, but the Manchu uncle regent: Aixin Jueluo Dolgon, there was also a limit to his concessions? Every time he went to court, he would talk to the Empress Dowager Wen of the Manchu Dynasty under the pretext of national politics.

On August 24th, the eight kings led the army all the way south into the territory of Changsha Prefecture, and the army was unstoppable. The Chuang army came down all the way and took Changsha Mansion with almost no resistance.

At this time, the Prince of Minghuizhuang, who lived in Changsha Mansion: Zhu Changrun, Prince Mingjiyin: Zhu Cixuan, the two Ming feudal kings fled with their family plans and were pressed by Minghu Guangxun: Liu Xizuo, sent someone to escort them to Hengzhou Mansion for refuge, and this Hengzhou Mansion is the Prince of Ming Guiduan: Zhu Changying, the fief of the Ming Huguang Governor is now stationed here, so that Prince Ming Guiduan, Prince Ming Jiyin, Prince Ming Huizhuang, these three feudal kings are not at ease and afraid that the thieves will fight along the official road, Therefore, the three kings took their families to take refuge in Yongzhou Mansion by boat by the water.

After seeing the evacuation of the three vassal kings, the Minghu Guang Patrol also immediately rushed to Yongzhou Mansion to arrange defense affairs, leaving only the Minghu Guang Governor to lead the army to garrison the Hengzhou Mansion fortification, but the general Anxi of the Chuang army had already seen through this person's lack of military talent, so he suggested that the Eight Kings send a group of Chuang troops to pretend to be homeless people to blend into the city to beg for the protection of the Ming army, and then take the opportunity to send troops to attack so that the soldiers in the city can cooperate with each other.

After listening to his suggestion, the eight kings thought that they had not seen the wrong person, so they said, "You are really Lao Tzu's Zhuge Liang?" The four generals in front of the tent listened to the order, and the widow wanted to accept you as a righteous son" General Anxi of the Chuang Army: Li Dingguo, I was very happy to hear it and hurriedly bowed and bowed, and the rest of the General Funan of the Chuang Army: Liu Wenxiu, General Dingbei of the Chuang Army: Ai Nengqi, the two of them also hurriedly kowtowed to thank them, only General Pingdong of the Chuang Army: Sun Kewang, hesitated (probably because I couldn't get used to Li Dingguo?) ）。

At this moment, the Eight Kings saw that General Pingdong had not kowtowed, so he asked, "Is General Pingdong unwilling to be the widow's son?" General Pingdong hurriedly squatted down and saluted, "The last general doesn't dare, everything is arranged by his father-in-law." "Received four righteous sons at once, and now the army is booming, the eight kings decided to immediately send troops to pursue the victory, with the general Anxi as the main force to attack the Hengzhou Mansion, and the remaining three ways to break the army as an assistant to cooperate with Li Dingguo to besiege the Ming army.
