Chapter 125: The situation in Jiangnan changed suddenly
Let your Dashun army attack from morning to night, with more than 10,000 casualties, or maintain the majesty of his first pass in the world, although Wu Sangui's Franc machine gun is not much, but it can't stand the fast and flexible maneuverability of others' shooting, or condescending, and after a counterattack, the arrogance of the Dashun army was half discarded.
Li Zicheng stood on the small hillside behind him and looked anxious, originally planning to personally recruit 500,000 people to deal with him 500,000 or 60,000 is not a piece of cake, it should be just a bag of cigarettes! But now this style of play and trend can't be won in half a month! He really regretted not listening to Li Yan at the moment.
Although Li Zicheng has bumped and bumped along the way, he is like a lucky man, in the past, it was said that there were hundreds of battles, but he had never experienced a real hard battle, especially in such a battle of attacking the city and grabbing the land, Beijing City was also sent by people to open the door. In the past, it was also a good time and place to overturn Sun Da Niu, but now suddenly such a big girl is on the bridge for the first time, or Wu Sangui is such a difficult bone to gnaw, he is really at a loss immediately, and even doubts life.
Are you still the invincible king? Why is it that none of the soldiers in Shanhaiguan are afraid of opening the city and begging for surrender by their prestige?
"Your Majesty, Lao Liu, do I want to hurry home and hug the beautiful lady? Those grandsons are afraid of being beaten if they don't make a contribution, let me go! Make sure to take this broken fish before dark, what is the first male pass! After Liu Zongmin finished speaking, he didn't wait for Li Zicheng to agree, so he walked down the mountain with the guards. After a while, the shouts of killing sounded again.
Wu Sangui at the head of the city looked at the corpses all over the ground, and he was also timid, 60,000 horses lost more than 10,000 in one day, and if it went on like this, it would not take three days for the army to scatter. "Dashuai, it's Liu Zongmin, he personally led people to attack the city!" As soon as Wu Sangui heard this name, his tired body was immediately filled with strength again.
He leaned on the wall and took a few closer glances to determine that it was Liu Zongmin's handsome banner, and immediately tore off the clothes towel around his waist, bit his fingers and quickly wrote a few words, and handed them to the guards. "You hurry to the Manchu camp and tell Dolgon that if he doesn't send troops, I, Wu Sangui, will not let him succeed even if he is bloodstained!"
Watching the guards ride their horses into the distance, Wu Sangui also immediately went down to the city to gather all the soldiers to give up guarding the horses and decided to fight to the death, Liu Zongmin's 30,000 siege troops were about to arrive at the city, and suddenly the gate of Shanhaiguan was wide open, and a team of murderous cavalry roared out, Wu Sangui was the first to wave a spear, and he was unstoppable when he saw people.
"Haha! Wu Sangui, the turtle grandson, finally couldn't hold it back, it's good to come, eat your grandfather Liu's arrow! As Liu Zongmin spoke, he took a bow and shot a long shot, and the "whoosh" led three shots in a row, but they were all blocked by Wu Sangui's surrounding guards. Li Zicheng, who was on the hillside, saw Wu Sangui go out of the city to cover the killing, and he also jumped to his feet with joy, and hurriedly commanded the army to swarm up.
50,000 Guan Ning iron cavalry rushed left and right in the 500,000 army, but they did not fall behind at all, and under the inspiration of Wu Sangui's pioneers, there was a faint tendency to impact Liu Zongmin's Daxu. In the distance, Dolgon, Azig and the others put down the clairvoyant mirror in their hands, and then looked at the blood book sent by Wu Sangui.
A bunch of generals couldn't hold back the laughter. "Brother Twelve, it's time for us to go out, the Han people themselves don't want to be good at the rivers and mountains, then let us be full of people to manage them for them!" Azig, Haug and the others clasped their hands and saluted, and they were completely impressed by Dol's talent at the moment, because everything was exactly as he expected.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty 200,000 iron cavalry, although it was mixed with the Han army flag and the Mongolian army flag, but at this moment, their eyes were already full of women and gold and jade that could not be snatched in the hinterland of the Central Plains, what struggle, status. One should be thrown out of the clouds, unprecedented unity, unprecedented confidence.
The iron hooves shook the ground and shook the mountains, the dark clouds behind the mountain slowly covered the heads of the Dashun army, and the wind swept the flying sand and rocks, making people suddenly unable to open their eyes. Li Zicheng got the report of the spies and hurriedly picked up the clairvoyant mirror to watch, but it was too late, the torrential rain was pouring down, and the left and right wings of the army had already fallen into the battle of the Manchu iron cavalry.
The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, Liu Zongmin was pressed by Wu Sangui step by step, and he had no time to take care of the deployment of the army, and 500,000 people instantly became headless flies, turning around in front of the Shanhaiguan Gate, facing the strangulation of 250,000 cavalry, they were helpless, and the army's morale was scattered. Li Zicheng is worthy of being an old fritter, or maybe he escaped from his experience, when he saw that the situation was not good, he spread his feet and ran faster than anyone else.
Liu Zongmin is a bastard, but after all, he is also a battlefield general, and in such a situation, he still commands more than 100,000 troops to break out of the encirclement, but the remaining Dashun army is miserable to grandma's house, with countless casualties, and those who are lucky not to be cut off can only kneel and beg for mercy. Only a little more than 100,000 people survived.
Shanhaiguan was full of blood for a while, and even the air was mixed with a strong smell of blood, and the torrential rain did not wash away this tragic situation in the world for three consecutive days.
After Li Zicheng fled back to Beijing in embarrassment, he hurriedly held an enthronement ceremony in the Wuying Palace, he really didn't die if he didn't die, he only spent 42 days in Beijing drunk and dreamed of death, and the real sense of the emperor was only one day. With a large amount of gold and silver from the robbery, he embarked on the journey back to his old nest in Xi'an.
The Manchu Iron Cavalry and Wu Sangui's Guanning elite advanced all the way, and the former Ming Dynasty's defective Juyong Guan guards Tang Tong and others joined Ben without anyone doing anything. So far, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, with the blessing of Wu Sangui, has easily occupied the entire area north of Beijing in less than three days.
Wu Sangui also tried his best to chase Li Zicheng, beating him with his head and running away, Azig, Alshan and other armies also occupied the entire territory of Shandong non-stop, and approached Henan to confront Li Yan's army head-on.
It was only more than ten days after turning around, and Dolgon welcomed Emperor Shunzhi into the Forbidden City to register as emperor, announced to the world, and issued a holy decree to inform Shen Xing, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and others to be attached, and promised to be a high-ranking official.
At this time, Shen Xing had already been in the palace carefully built by Li Zicheng in Xi'an, cleaning up some restless remnants of the Dashun army. But to his surprise, he worked hard outside to stabilize the good situation, but a raging fire ignited in the backyard of Jiangnan, although he had long expected that Zhu Yousong would be restless, but he never dreamed that he was so bold that he dared to surround the Shen family's compound, in a vain attempt to detain his family as a hostage to coerce himself.
Mei Lan Zhuju and the four girls jumped up and down in a hurry when they received the news, and they almost reached the point of going to the house to uncover the tiles, "Husband, why are you still laughing, the young lady and the old lady didn't take any precautions, in case they ...... Go back! ...... late
Seeing Mei'er packing her luggage in a hurry, Shen Xingcai stood up helplessly to stop her, "Dead girl, don't you know the means of the red lady?" It's not us who are anxious now, and it's not us who should be worried, but the clowns who jump off the beam, in fact, I'm really worried about them now! If I'm okay, at least I can restrain your Red General, but now the whip is out of reach, even if the flying pigeon passes the book, it will be too late, in case her old problem attacks and kills the sky dark, it will really be difficult to clean up in the future! What a wicked worker! Why don't you know that you have a good life? ”
After Shen Xing finished speaking, he simply bent down and squatted on the ground like a dog, Mei Lan Zhuju brain circuit was relatively long, and he was still skeptical of Shen Xing's words for a while, and his eyes were wide and round as he watched the two people draw circles on the ground.
The dog felt bored, and suddenly stood up and lectured to the four ladies. "Madame, are you really stupid or fake stupid, there are nearly 200,000 workers in the back mountain, and 100,000 of them are battlefield veterans carefully selected by the young master, do you know? As for the power of the repeating machine gun invented by Mr. Bi, I don't need to talk about dogs. Where did the bullshit Zhu Yousong's soldiers come from, they are not the Nanjing garrison, think about who trained those soldiers! ”
Lan'er was the first to react, and she beat the imposing dog violently, "Mrs. Lan, what are you doing here?" Talking well and moving again, didn't you forget your identity for a moment of excitement? The dog said aggrievedly and squatted back next to Shen Xing again.
After listening to what the dog said, Mei'er's little face blossomed, and she put out all the things she had packed one by one, and beckoned Zhu'er Ju'er to prepare lunch like a nobody.
In the Nanjing garrison yamen, Zhu Yousong was sitting in the lobby and listening carefully to the reports of various personnel below, Lu Jiude, the former eunuch of the Fengyang overseer of Anwei, did not know when he led the remnants of 50,000 troops to make trouble in Nanjing, and immediately became a capable general who supported Zhu Yousong after hearing the news of Chongzhen's death.
The strategy of the army to besiege the Shen family's mansion was also his plan, and at this moment he was talking eloquently. "Lord Wang, the Jingshi fell into the hands of the enemy, the first emperor died righteously, the Ming Dynasty has never encountered such a catastrophe in more than two hundred years, at this time when the Great Xia is about to fall, you should take on the heavy responsibility and ascend to the throne as the royal heir?"
Zhu Yousong didn't know how beautiful it was after hearing this, but on the surface, he still shook his head and said nothing, Han Zanzhou was a eunuch and a group naturally stood on Lu Jiude's side, with the support of such two people with heavy troops, Zhu Yousong's ascension to the throne should have been nine out of ten.
But at this time, the Donglin Party led by Qian Qianyi stood up again, and also took out the dispute over the national capital during the Jiajing Emperor period of the previous dynasty to talk about things, and it was necessary to support Zhu Changshu, the son of Zhu Yiyi, the younger brother of Shenzong, in the name of Lixian, to inherit the unification, and Shi Kefa, who was gradually emerging, advocated that both the virtuous and the relatives should be established, and Zhu Changying, the seventh son of Shenzong, was established as the emperor.
The three-way people are like this, you earn and I are noisy. Although the Donglin Party is strong and powerful, there is no military horse in his hand, and no one cares about the kung fu on the lips, Shi Kefa is based in Yangzhou with the help of Shen Xing, and he also has a large army in his hands, but his heart is not strong, swaying from side to side, but he is eager to restore the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty and reorganize the rivers and mountains to fight back to Beijing.
In this way, Zhu Yousong immediately changed the situation after receiving the support of the great Confucian Ma Shiying, because Ma Daniu, the former head of the Nanjing household department, was not an ordinary master, and he had a smooth push in dealing with Donglin's gang.
Because in the Jiajing Dynasty's "Great Rites Discussion" and the Wanli Dynasty's "Fight for the Country" incident, the Donglin courtiers were fighting for bloodline relatives and eldest descendants, the so-called Lun Xuan Gangchang, according to their set of theories, Fu Wang Zhu Yousong is the natural choice.
First of all, the father of the Fu King Zhu Yousong, the old Fu King Zhu Changxun, is older than the Hui King Zhu Changrun and the Gui King Zhu Changying, and Zhu Yousong is his eldest son, and Chongzhen is the same generation, but Chongzhen's cousin, so whether it is in terms of the eldest or the younger or the precedent of the "brother and brother" succeeded by Jiajing, he is obviously better than the two kings of Hui and Gui.
As for King Lu Zhu Changshu, not only is the blood relationship separated by a layer, but even the generation is the same as Chongzhen's generation, so no matter how you look at it, it is unlikely that he will be his turn.
However, at this time, a considerable number of Donglin Party members kept their mouths shut about Jiajing's "Great Discussion Ceremony" and Wanli's "Fighting for the Country", and their set of Ethics Outline, which was enshrined as the "Law of the World", became commonplace, but they began to talk about "Lixian".
So after Ma Da Niu's discussion, the Donglin Party simply lifted a stone and smashed themselves in the foot, and died down in an instant. Qian Qianyi, who had just been suspended as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, was also dismissed.
In mid-May, Zhu Yousong, with the help of Ma Shiying, won the support of Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing and others, so he took charge of Nanjing, changed the Yuan Hongguang, and officially opened his Nanming regime and ordered the Quartet.
