Chapter 402: Moving to Shengjing One Shift
Dolgon led the remnants of the defeated army to defeat more than eighty miles in one breath, and night began to fall, seeing that there were no pursuers behind, Dolgon, who was covered in sweat, ordered the team to stop and rest the people.
But Dorgon saw that his team was too embarrassed, and the generals had lost their armor, covered in blood, and their faces were full of red flowers and frustration, and they were even more embarrassed than beggars.
The most frustrated was of course the regent of the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon, who, after he had stabilized his spirit, hurriedly ordered someone to count the number of people.
When he first left the Beijing Division, counting Wuzhen Chaoha, Dolgon brought out more than 30,000 male soldiers, but now that he looks at it, even those who followed one after another and were wounded counted all the six or seven thousand people left.
However, he felt slightly fortunate that more than 100 red-clothed cannons were never damaged, and Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, the two Han princes of the Qing Dynasty, pulled the cannons before they arrived at the battlefield, and they retreated with defeat.
One day fiasco is like this, this time I left the Beijing division for less than three days, the Manchu Eight Banners were lost, how can I be embarrassed, God will not bless me Daqing!
Dolgon beat his chest suddenly, his heart was dead at that time, and he pulled out his war knife and was about to wipe his neck, but his subordinates were broken, Fan Wencheng, Bolo and Sonny hurriedly snatched the knife down.
It's no wonder that Dolgon wants to find a short-sightedness, it's only been a day, and the 30,000 heroes who carried him, the Queen Mother and the entire Qing Dynasty revival are left with such a little embarrassment, and this time they lost completely, and they lost almost nothing. Let him, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, have no face?
Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, Fan Wenchenghe, Bolo and Sonny hurriedly persuaded that victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Yunyun.
But even they themselves are a little reluctant to say this, because victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, this sentence is not wrong, but only defeat and not victory is not a common thing in soldiers, and now the Qing Dynasty has lost nine out of ten battles, how can this be explained, who can accept it?
But no matter what, he finally persuaded Dolgon, in fact, Dolgon didn't really want to die, the ants are still greedy, and people don't care?
Especially now he is still the regent in power, under one person, above ten thousand, the status is forgiven, life and death are taken, let me ask all living beings in the world, who wants to die in this position?
Isn't it just a defeat? What is that, it's not that you haven't been defeated, isn't it just another defeat in front of Lin Yi? It's not the first time, it's just one more defeat, it's not a big deal!
The worst thing is to continue to live as a nomad like 10 years ago, as long as you don't die, you will always come out!
Thinking of this, Dorgon persuaded himself to be relieved, and his heart suddenly brightened and relaxed.
Then the soldiers and horses were reorganized and returned to Beijing overnight with the remnants of the defeated generals to see the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's mood was even worse to the freezing point, and she now knows that Dolgon suffered defeat again, 200 miles away from the Beijing division is too close, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang of course also paid attention to Dolgon's war, which is the fate of the entire Qing Dynasty.
The mood of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was just a few days away, and it was cloudy again, and her loss of her brother was a trivial matter, and now the fate of the Qing Dynasty is worrying. Go? Bow down to the Ming Dynasty and continue to accept the enslavement of the Han people, as before, is it right to be the ancestors? Especially since her husband Huang Taiji died and the new emperor ascended the throne for only two or three years, Xiao Shunzhi is still a playchild, isn't it equivalent to the Qing Dynasty being lost in the hands of her and Dolgon?
She knelt down in front of the temple of her ancestors, looking at the portraits of Huang Taiji and Nurhachi, tears like pearls with broken threads.
It's Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, who will never show her the way.
In the end, Dolgon and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang discussed that Shengjing could never stay any longer, and the defeated men and horses and the men defending the city together were only more than 13,000 people, including Manchu generals, Mongol generals and some Han soldiers, which was where all the forces of the Qing Dynasty were located.
How can this strength fight against the Ming Dynasty? Can you keep the huge Shengshangjing? Both Dolgon and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang knew what the consequences would be if they resisted stubbornly, and the death of the monarch was inevitable.
Surrender to Daming and go to peace talks? They didn't dare to think about this step, and they were afraid that mentioning this matter again would be tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and the Ming army had to slaughter the city when it broke through the city.
Therefore, they agreed to call Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan and other ministers to convene a royal meeting, and Xiao Shunzhi of course also participated, and the regent announced the relocation of the capital on behalf of Xiao Shunzhi.
After the imperial meeting was dispersed, the civil and military officials were busy with the matter of moving.
Moving is not a trivial matter, moving home is equivalent to shedding a layer of skin, which is for individual households, not to mention the Qing Dynasty in a city?
From the Imperial Palace, to the Cabinet Chamber, to the courtyards and mansions of ministers and officials, the official seals of the yamen at all levels, gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, Jongmyo horses, and so on, of course, nothing of value can be left behind.
Dolgon even suggested that when he left, he set a fire to Shangjing and burned the Qing Dynasty, which was red bricks and green tiles, pavilions, and splendid palaces, and could not be cheaply given to the Ming Dynasty.
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang did not agree, this was once the land of Longxing, and it was the crystallization of the painstaking efforts and wisdom of the ancestors, and they would not agree to it in the spirit of the sky, maybe we still have the possibility of coming back.
Dolgon had no choice but to give up, and the palace maids and eunuchs, civil and military officials, including the emperor and queen, were all busy, because there was not much time left for them.
Lin Yidu led the Ming army to encircle the Jingshi at any time, that is, they were trying to move the capital, it was already impossible, Hong Chengchou was captured twice is a living example, they don't want the young Xiao Shunzhi to be the second Chongzhen Emperor.
At that time, Emperor Chongzhen, who saw the soldiers approaching the city, did not listen to the advice of the minister, and asked him to move the capital, but he did not move the capital. If he moves the capital to Nanjing, Li Zicheng's Dashun army will occupy Yanjing at most, and it will not be easy to occupy Nanjing, in that case, Emperor Chongzhen may be relieved to clean up this thief, and the history of the Ming Dynasty will be rewritten, but in the end he chose the king to die.
Of course, these historical lessons are well known to the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dolgon, so they are now preparing to move the capital.
Of course, the relocation of a country is an eternal event, and there are three things. You can't move the emperor, the army, and the civil and military officials, and you have to have the common people, otherwise who will rule? The 100,000 households in Shangjing are all obedient people of the Qing Dynasty, of course, they cannot be left behind, and of course Dolgon and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang also know that the Jiangshan Sheji without children cannot be called the Jiangshan Sheji.
Therefore, the ruling class of the Qing Dynasty could not move, and the common people of the lower classes also had to move.
So, while the imperial city of the Qing Dynasty was busy, someone brushed out the notice of the imperial list, and asked the three sects and nine streams, the five elements and eight works inside and outside Shangjing to follow them, and the target was Hetuara City, which was hundreds of miles away.
Hetuala City This is the area of Xinbin County, Fushun City, Liaoning Province in later generations, which is the real land of Longxing. After the Battle of Salhu, they moved the capital from Hetuara to Shengjing, and later became the capital of the Qing Dynasty.
Not to mention, for such a short-lived dynasty as the Qing Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside the capital are really hard to give up.
Of course, this is due to the Sinicization policy and the policy of being close to the people and loving the people put forward by Fan Wencheng Ning and these big traitors in recent years, and then accepted and promoted by Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, and Dolgon, the high-level rulers of the Qing Dynasty, who have also made efforts to improve people's livelihood, enhance national strength, and ease national contradictions and class contradictions, which are accepted by some Han people.
A considerable part of the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people inside and outside Beijing, about 100,000 ordinary people were willing to follow the Qing Dynasty, and after they saw the notice of the emperor's list, they fell to their knees, cried for a long time, and then hurriedly packed up their things and prepared to move.
After two days and two nights of busyness in the Qing Dynasty, finally all ready, on the evening of the third day, Sheng Shangjing four gates were opened, more than 10,000 Qing soldiers protected the Shunzhi Xiaozhuang Empress Dowager and Dolgon, these civil and military officials, followed by more than 100,000 ordinary people have Manchu and Han people, carts to bear, drag families with mouths, most of them are riding livestock, out of Beijing, feeling the dark and holding torches deep and shallow feet, and driving towards Hetuara City.
Hundreds of years ago, it was too difficult to walk, unlike the later generations of high-speed railways, airplanes, trains, ships, buses, from the north and south of China to the east and west can achieve morning and evening, at that time walking all relied on two legs or four legs of livestock, hundreds of miles, everywhere the mountains and fields were rugged, so it was difficult to walk such a road.
These high-level wealthy families in the Qing Dynasty are okay, they have horses, carts and livestock, and it is these ordinary people who suffer.
Therefore, after not going out of the day, the team decreased sharply, and on the second day, it decreased a lot, and when they arrived at Hetuara City on the fifth day, in addition to more than 10,000 troops protecting the emperor and the families of these high-ranking civil and military officials, there were also thousands of people, and there were only more than 50,000 people who came with them, and most of the others were left behind, some survived in other places, and some even died halfway through.
Some wealthy families and some officials can't bear the fatigue of the journey, the long journey, and they don't know what to do after they fall behind.
However, when they arrived in Hetuara City, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dolgon and others finally breathed a sigh of relief, what they were worried about finally did not happen, the Ming army did not trap them, and the second did not chase them halfway, which can be regarded as a whole body retreat.
In addition to the civil and military officials, there are only more than 10,000 people in the army, more than 50,000 people and ordinary people, plus the original people in Hetuara City, there are also more than 100,000 people.
The banner of the Qing Dynasty is still not falling, although there are fewer people can find a way to do it, more than 10,000 Eight Banner troops are their capital, and they are fortunate that there are more than 100 red-clothed cannons that have never been lost, that is to say, King Huaishun and King Zhishun, the two Han princes of the Qing Dynasty have always followed them. They once built a powerful Wuzhen Chaoha army, and now there are only two or three thousand people left.
It shows that God is not too cruel, and he has left them the seed that may be possible for them to turn over the land and start over.
This is where the Empress Dowager Hyojong and Dolgon find comfort.
On the third day after Dolgon and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang left Shengjing, Lin Yi, the Ming Supervisor, led more than 100,000 Ming troops, including the Mongol and Korean allied forces, and nearly 200,000 troops marched into Shengjing.
At this time, Shengshangjing was not an empty city, but the Manchu ruling class left, taking their army, as well as the people who supported them and some Han people. But there are still many people who stay inside and outside Shengshangjing, of course, these are all feelings for the Ming Dynasty, because Shengjing was originally the land of the Ming Dynasty, and now they are finally looking forward to the day when they return to the embrace of the motherland.
Therefore, when Lin Yi's team entered Shengjing, the people inside and outside the city gave a warm welcome in various ways, and the form was also very grand, with a sea of people and empty alleys.
There were guards in front to open the way, and there was a women's battalion behind them, and then the army of the Ming Dynasty was mighty, and Lin Yi sat on his horse and waved frequently to the welcoming crowds on both sides.
Seeing that the people here were so enthusiastic, Lin Yi felt a sense of accomplishment and his heart fluctuated.
After Lin Yi moved to Shengjing, he immediately set an example to calm the people, strictly enforce military discipline, and no one was allowed to disturb the people. Then, people reported the good news to the civil and military officials of the Ming Jingshi who went north to Beijing, and soon this incident caused a sensation in the north and south of the country.
From high-ranking officials to ordinary people, there are many discussions on the streets and alleys, and some people even find it incredible. Could it be that the vigorous Qing Dynasty existed in name only?
Lin Yi saw that the scale of Sheng Shangjing was no less than that of Beishangjing......
