Chapter 55: Daqing, I'm Coming!
Shanhaiguan General Military Office.
"He's lying!"
Adori said viciously.
"The regent has an army of 80,000, that is 80,000 of my Qing Dynasty iron cavalry, how can he be defeated by them? You know very well what the 80,000 Great Qing Iron Cavalry means, even if all the horses of Li Zicheng in Shanhaiguan at this time and all the Southern Army of Ninghai City are together, in front of the 80,000 Great Qing Iron Cavalry, it is tantamount to being a mantis arm, how can they be defeated by just one partial division?
He's lying.
He's just lying to us about infighting! ”
He went on to say.
"Then why haven't reinforcements arrived yet? Shenyang is only a cavalry journey of ten days at most, and you say that the forward can be at Shanhaiguan in eight days at most, so why has not a single soldier arrived in more than 20 days? Not only did reinforcements not arrive, but even Tunqi, who was originally harassing outside, was gone! And how did that worship fall into his hands? Ao Bai is your yellow flag Baya Lama Zhangjing, equivalent to your emperor's personal army captain, every battle must be the first to overcome difficulties in the vanguard, if it is not for the defeat of Dolgon, how can he be captured by a Baya Lama Zhangjing who is on the three banners? Then Yang Qingyong is unstoppable, Li Guo's department is the most elite cavalry under Li Zicheng, what is so strange about Dolgon's defeat, do you really think that your Eight Banners are invincible? If you are truly invincible, how can you let Azig be torn apart by five horses? ”
Leng Yundeng, the deputy general of Shanhaiguan, said disdainfully.
"What do you mean by that? Didn't the King of England die fighting to save Shanhaiguan? ”
The Qing army rose up in the city of Melekinvi.
"That is, we traveled thousands of miles to help, the king of England died in battle, followed you to defend the lonely city, and thousands of brothers died in battle, is this in exchange? To be a man is to speak of conscience, and it is not so fast to unload the mill and kill the donkey. ”
Another Melesun said.
They have indeed suffered a lot of losses these days, in fact, the main thing is that they are defending the city, especially after the Shun army collapsed the city wall with artillery last time, it was all because of the desperate and bloody battle of the Qing army to block the breakthrough. On the contrary, many of the Guanning army watched from the wall, especially the original Shanhaiguan defenders and those who plotted to surrender the city, and they also relied on the suppression of the Qing army to make no major incidents, it can be said that they broke their hearts and shed all their blood in order to defend Shanhaiguan, and now it is inevitable that they are a little aggrieved, if they had slashed Leng Yundeng in the past, but now they don't have the confidence after the loss is too great.
Leng Yundeng sneered and did not answer.
"The two generals are angry, your army is thousands of miles to help, the British king died on the battlefield, these contemptible troops are also nostalgic, but at this time it is useless to talk about this, it is estimated that the generals themselves understand that your hope for reinforcements is slim, and the most important thing for us at this time is how to break through and make another plan."
Wu Sangui's general Guo Yunlong said.
Everyone couldn't help but be gloomy for a while, even those Qing army generals.
They also knew that Dolgon had been defeated eight times out of ten.
Ao Bai has been captured!
If it weren't for the defeat of Dolgon's army, or even a crushing defeat, how could a general of this level be captured!
"Dashuai,"
At this time, an officer ran in and said to Wu Sangui, who had never spoken: "Sir, outside the city, like at the beginning, a large number of heads of the Eight Banners have been pulled in a carriage and have begun to pile up in Beijing, and the number will not be less than last time!" ”
Adori slammed his fist on the table in hatred.
"Guys, do you need to hesitate now?"
Guo Yunlong said.
There really is no need to hesitate.
If Ao Bai was captured, it can only be said that there is a failure in seven or eight out of ten, plus a few thousand heads, then it can be said that it is completely certain, it is not a fiasco and withdraws from the battlefield, how can the enemy cut off so many heads, the victor will not let the enemy cut off the heads of his own dead and leave, thousands of heads represent more than 10,000 casualties, and more than 10,000 casualties are difficult for an army of 80,000 to bear.
They didn't know that there were a lot of old and weak people out there.
It is said that the head of a Jiannu person is one hundred taels, and those bastards under Yang Qing cut a lot when they washed Jinzhou and Niuzhuang in blood, because they were worried that they would rot and dry them on the branches of the trees on Juehua Island, which made this small island full of ghosts, Princess Kunxing and Yuanyuan were too scared to go out, and this time they all brought back one hundred taels and sold them to Li Zicheng.
Adori and his subordinate soldiers, who didn't know this, only knew that Dorgon's army must have been defeated, their reinforcements were gone, they held the Shanhai Pass for more than 20 days, and the final result was still a failure, this was not their defeat, but the defeat of the Qing Dynasty, the defeat of the Qing Dynasty's national fortunes, and the result of losing this war was that the Qing Dynasty lost the hope of entering the Central Plains, and they could only continue to stay in the cold Liaodong for generations, struggling with hunger and cold for generations......
Of course, that's for later.
What is more important to them is that Li Zicheng's army will attack again, and this time it is absolutely impossible for them to hold it anymore, the food in the city is about to run out, and if they continue to defend it, they will have to eat people, but the vast majority of the people in the city are the families of the Guanning army, and the result of eating these people can only be infighting, and then this Shanhaiguan will still be breached.
And then they have to die.
At present, the only option is to break through, break through to the north, even if the Mingshun coalition army on the northern front defeats Dolgon, it will lose a lot, and their whole army may be able to open a way to escape to Jinzhou to the north, as for Wu Sangui's subordinates......
Follow us and mess around!
What's the big deal, our Daqing has tried to recruit him before, but at that time, Wu Sangui didn't look down on our Daqing, but now he has no other choice, as a rebel, even if he surrenders, he will die, and it is still a good future to defect to our Daqing, saying that Jin Weicheng's father is just a thousand presidents of Kaiyuan back then, and now Jin Weicheng is still equivalent to the deputy general Melle Zhangjing?
"Brother Wu, what do you say?"
Gao Di, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, looked at Wu Sangui and said.
"General Wu."
Adori also looked at Wu Sangui.
The latter sat on the Taishi's chair, looking at the top of his head with a blank face, completely speechless with grief and indignation that his ambition had not been rewarded.
"What about the Emperor?"
Hu Shouliang, another general of his department, said suddenly.
"Of course, Your Majesty is entourage, the Metropolitan Governor, at this time the Metropolitan Governor is indeed the escort of His Majesty to break through, such as today's three points, the Ming and Qing Dynasties, although the Ming and Qing dynasties were enemies of each other in the past, but after this battle, they have become brothers' states, and the Central Plains are broken and stolen from the Central Plains, the Ming Dynasty controls the south of the Huai River, and the Qing Dynasty establishes the country of Liaodong, and its momentum is just like the Song Liaojin, and the Metropolitan Governor guards His Majesty to break through the siege to the north, and return to the south of the Yangtze River by means of the Liaodong Sea Road, and in the future, the Ming and Qing dynasties can be attacked from the north and south to eliminate the rebellion!"
Shoufu Wang Yongji, who had not spoken, said suddenly.
Wu Sangui frowned.
"Wang Shoufu is right, we are protecting the Holy Driver to break through!"
Several generals of the Guanning Army immediately chimed in.
Obviously, this is the perfect solution to their shame.
"Ma, we have said so righteously and awe-inspiringly, Lao Wang is worthy of being a well-educated man."
Yang Qing, who was watching the play on the roof, sneered.
It is not difficult for him to sneak into Shanhaiguan, in fact, at this time, the hearts of the people in the Guanhai are scattered, and those Guanning soldiers no longer care about any defense, especially at this time, most of them are attracted to the south of the city to see the Shunjundui second Jingguan there, that is, there are still some Qing troops patrolling responsibly. However, the Qing army has only more than 4,000 left, excluding those who remained in the city to be responsible for suppression, and only 2,000 were actually left on the city wall, mainly concentrated in the north and south gates of the main attack of the Shun army, as well as defending against Liu Zongmin in Dongluo City. Because the west gate was blocked by the unfinished Xiluo City in front, it was not the direction of the Shun army's attack, so it was all the Guanning army on the defensive, Yang Qing easily climbed the city wall and entered the city almost unimpeded, and then touched the roof of the General Soldier's Mansion.
The news that Wu Sangui was going to escape still made him happier.
This means that the war is coming to an end, and that it is still ending with his victory.
Indeed, it can be said that it is his victory, and this victory can be said to be the result of his efforts to jump up and down.
As for Lao Wang's statement......
Well, that's just a beautiful picture.
They actually want to vote for our Daqing, but they don't think it sounds good, so they just find a way to put gold on their faces, they just use Chongzhen as a gift, and take Chongzhen to Shenyang together, as for how our Daqing deals with their, as long as they go to our Daqing's territory, they will become the Eight Banners Han Army, and Wu Sangui still has a bunch of relatives over there to demonstrate!
But what Lao Wang said also has some truth.
After Dolgon gets Chongzhen, he can detain Chongzhen in Shenyang, and then send Lao Wang and the like to the south to hook up with the new monarch in the south, anyway, the two sides will not be next to each other in the future, so why don't we cooperate to engage Li Zicheng? For example, sell me grain and steel from the south, maintain the future maritime trade, and avoid our Qing Dynasty from starving to death, if the new monarch in the south does not agree, then I will send Chongzhen back to you to see what you do, just like when Jin Guo detained Song Qinzong to scare Zhao Jiumei. In this way, no matter who is the emperor in the south, they have to follow their wishes, just like Zhao Jiumei was a slave to Jin Guo back then, Lao Wang estimated that he might be able to mix with Qin Huidang, he should have planned it this way, this guy is really cunning and cunning.
And this cooperation itself is not a bad thing for the imperial court in Jiangnan.
After all, the stronger Dolgon is, the more he can hold Li Zicheng back, and then the safer Jiangnan will be.
Before, the Jiangnan gentry were indeed afraid that Dolgon would enter the Central Plains and destroy Li Zicheng and go south to wash the Jiangnan bloodbath, but now the situation is different, Li Zicheng got Shanhaiguan to determine the rule of the Central Plains, on the contrary, Dolgon's strength was greatly damaged, so you have to worry that Li Zicheng will lose control and then go south to fight the local tyrants.
This is a reasonable way to play Three Kingdoms.
In the final analysis, it was in the best interest of the Jiangnan gentry to maintain a clean and smooth balance of power.
But Yang Qing would definitely not let this happen.
He quietly left the roof, and then touched the back house of the General Soldier's Mansion, he didn't see the resolute expression on the faces of the local generals of Shanhaiguan such as Gao Di Leng Yunden and Gao Gao Xuan, who walked out of it immediately after he left.
