Wu Sangui heard Zhang Shenyan's panicked words and looked at Zuo Liangyu. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In fact, Wu Sangui proposed to withdraw his troops two months ago. At that time, Wu Sangui understood that Xinzhou City could not be captured, so he proposed to Zhang Shenyan to withdraw to Nanzhili. Wu Sangui's idea was that the longer he dragged on under the city of Xinzhou, the more he would anger Li Zhi, and the more severely he would retaliate against Li Zhi. Instead of spending money under the city of Xinzhou, it is better to go back to Nanzhili to train troops, and then train tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to deter Li Zhi, so that Li Zhi does not dare to act rashly.

Zhang Shenyan disagreed at that time, saying that Li Zhi had fallen into the Tartars' plan to clear the wilderness, and he would not be able to come back this winter. Zhang Shenyan wanted to storm Xinzhou City and cooperate with the Manchus to attack Li Zhi.

However, now Li Zhi has returned triumphantly, and Zhang Shenyan's joint attack has become a withdrawal of troops.

Li Zhi's cannon was very sharp, and it made no sense at all to defend on the city wall, it would only increase the number of casualties when the city wall was blown down. Zhang Shenyan's so-called withdrawal of troops was just a panicked Zhang Huang fleeing.

Wu Sangui found that this Zhang Shenyan not only did not understand military affairs at all, but was also an arrogant and cowardly person. With such a commander-in-chief, it is impossible to achieve any victory. The so-called arrogant talk of defeating Li Zhi can only be a dream under this terrible civilian command.

Wu Sangui was a little annoyed by this Zhang Shenyan, and couldn't help but look at Zuo Liangyu.

And Zuo Liangyu also frowned, looking at Wu Sangui.

The two looked at each other for a moment, as if they had reached some kind of agreement.

On October 20, Li Zhi led 3,000 cavalry of the Xuanfeng Division and escorted Dolgon towards the capital.

After the holy decree of the Son of Heaven reached Li Zhi's hand, Li Zhi was very happy. This time, the Son of Heaven allowed himself to recommend administrative officials at will, which was tantamount to handing over all the three provinces of Tianjin, Shandong, and Northeast China to himself. This is what Li Zhi wants most now, after all, there are still civil officials appointed by the imperial court in the territory, and then he has another set of system management, which is always a bit nondescript.

Such a dualistic political system would cause trouble to the common people, and it would not be conducive to the improvement of Li Zhi's authority.

And after the Son of Heaven handed over the appointment of officials to himself, he could manage the territory justifiably. After replacing the former governors, prefects and other civil officials with Li Zhi's own people in the future, Li Zhi will have more authority and space in the development territory.

After taking the three northeastern provinces and getting such a holy decree to completely seize control of the territory, Li Zhi can be said to be complacent.

The Son of Heaven really treats Li Zhi well.

Therefore, after the Son of Heaven asked to see the captured Dolgon, Li Zhi immediately ordered 3,000 cavalry and drove to the capital before the large army.

Li Zhi's soldiers and horses walked to Shanhaiguan and found that the gate of Shanhaiguan was wide open, and red silk cloth hung on the gate. The soldiers of Shanhaiguan all put on the most decent armor and battle jackets, and held weapons on both sides of the road and on the city wall to welcome Li Zhi's triumph.

The Ming army was still red, and most of the Jizhen guards in Shanhaiguan wore red cotton armor or red mandarin duck battle jackets, and they looked blood red from a distance.

Li Zhi led the cavalry to ride past these soldiers, and saw the soldiers in the surrounding Shanhaiguan with serious expressions. They stood straight with their weapons in hand, as if they were waiting for Li Zhi's review. When the soldiers saw the prisoner cart where Dorgon was being held, they became even more excited.

For decades, the Ming people talked about the change of color of the Tartars, and the soldiers of the border army were afraid of the Tartars day and night to break through the barriers, and the Tartars have become a terrible thing like a flood beast. Who would have expected that the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Duke of Jin would be killed, and the entire Tartar would be wiped out in a few months.

Some of the soldiers of Jizhen who were originally Liao people were already in tears, they thought that they would never be able to return to their homeland in Liaodong in their lives, but who knew that today they would be able to witness the triumph of the Duke of Jinguo who recovered Liaodong. Since then, Liaodong has returned to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and they, the Liao people, may be able to return to their hometown to live.

Some Liao soldiers couldn't help their emotions, and they cried out loud, with tears and snot on their faces.

Li Zhi smiled on his horse, and suddenly raised his arms and shouted:

"Tiger!"

The Ming soldiers of Shanhaiguan suddenly boiled, they raised their weapons in their hands, and shouted in unison:

"Tiger!"

"Tiger!"

"Tiger!"

Li Zhi laughed, and suddenly with a clip of the imperial gift "stepping on the clouds", he quickly passed through the red Shanhaiguan with three thousand cavalry.

Until Li Zhi walked away, the soldiers of Jizhen in Shanhaiguan were still shouting: "Tiger! "Tiger!"

Li Zhi escorted Dolgon's prisoner car into the Guannai and drove all the way west to the capital.

The news of Alchuka's victory had already reached Guannai, and the Tianjin Daily published the news of the great victory ten days after the war, and even made a special issue. Now the news has been spreading in Gyeonggi for a month from Tianjin. This is big news, and it has a lot of spreading power, so most of the people in Gyeonggi know about it.

So when Li Zhi's 3,000 cavalry entered the suburbs of Beijing under the honor guard of the Jinguo Gong, they saw the people kneeling on both sides of the road.

These farmers in the suburbs of Beijing really worship Li Zhi! Who doesn't worship the hero who killed Hulu? Who doesn't worship the great generals who have opened up their territories? They knew that the Tartars were beasts that slaughtered the people of the Ming Dynasty, but Li Zhi led the army to destroy the Tartars.

Li Zhi's cavalry team rushed to a long distance and did not ride fast. However, the news of the triumphant return of the Duke of Jin spread quickly, and the people of the suburbs of Beijing poured into both sides of the official road from village to village. They knelt on both sides of the road, respectfully, and expressed their worship for the Duke of Jin and the Tiger Benjun in their own way.

Although there were many people on both sides of the road, none of them stopped Li Zhi's way, and the people all knelt in the fields on both sides of the road, and did not pity even if some crops were crushed.

Walking further, ten miles away from the capital, Li Zhi saw the new army of the Son of Heaven.

About half of the new army stood on either side of the official road, lining up to welcome the triumphant Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Before Li Zhi could walk up to the new army, he heard a long horn sound in the new army's formation. Tens of thousands of new soldiers wearing mandarin duck battle jackets held Lu Mi guns in their hands, pushed the golden mountain and poured jade pillars, and knelt on one knee on both sides of the road.

Li Zhi smiled and walked over with the gorgeous guard of honor of the National Prince.

Dolgon sat in the cramped prisoner car, looking at the new recruits with firearms, with tired eyes, not knowing what to think.

When the soldiers of the new army in Beijing saw Dolgon's prisoner car, they were even more excited. When the prisoner carriage passed in front of a high-ranking general, the general, who was kneeling on one knee, suddenly raised the Lu Mi Gong in his hand and shouted: "Jin Guogong! Mighty! ”

Tens of thousands of new troops suddenly shouted in unison:

"Jin Guogong! Mighty! ”

"Jin Guogong! Mighty! ”

"Jin Guogong! Mighty! ”

Seeing the new army of the Son of Heaven kneeling on one knee towards him and shouting slogans, the cavalry of the Duke of Jin was indescribably proud. One by one, they stood up straight on their horses, trying to make themselves look taller.

Li Zhi looked at this new army of the Son of Heaven curiously, carefully looking at the Lu Mi Gong in their hands, thoughtful.

After walking a mile forward, Li Zhi saw several large flags. Kneeling on one knee under the banner were Cao Bianjiao and Yang Guozhu.

Li Zhi rode up and hugged his fists and shouted: "Cao Taibao, Yang Shaobao, don't come to harm!" ”

Cao Bianjiao looked at Li Zhi with a smile and did not speak.

Yang Guozhu laughed, arched his hand and said: "Jin Guogong enter the city quickly, the people in the city are eager to see the demeanor of Guogong and take a look at the appearance of the puppet emperor of Tartar!" ”
