After Li Zicheng was defeated in Jizhou and returned to Beijing, he did not stay in Beijing, but quickly retreated westward.

This is because after the Dashun army occupied Beijing, what they did was unpopular, and they were afraid that they would become a turtle in the urn.

The second is because of the habits of the Dashun army, they can't beat and run, which is their habit.

The third is that in Li Zicheng's heart, he does not have a sense of responsibility for the world, and he does not realize the harm to the world caused by Hu Lu's entry into the customs and stealing the Central Plains.

With these three reasons, Li Zicheng can flee west without a little self-blame.

After Li Zicheng withdrew, the Qing army joined forces with Wu Sangui in Jizhou, and after a very short discussion, Wu Sangui was named the king of Yan, and the Manchu and Han armies were nearly 200,000, so they marched to Beijing.

There is another change here, it turns out that Wu Sangui is just a king of Pingxi, but this time he was named the king of one word, and his status is more than that of Sanshun King, who has been a dog for many years.

There is such a change, mainly because there was no battle of stones, Wu Sangui did not lose both with Li Zicheng, but Dolgon fought with Li Zicheng, so that the Qing soldiers were killed and wounded.

In addition, Wu Sangui's Guanning army is different from King Sanshun, and King Sanshun's men and horses have been digested by the Eight Banners system and have lost their independence, while Wu Sangui's Guanning army retains its independence, and it is separated from the Qing army.

It is precisely because of these changes that Dolgon has to spend a lot of money to recruit Wu Sangui.

This is also a method used by the Qing court, first using high-ranking officials to attract people, and then waiting until the overall situation is settled, and then turning their faces and denying people, and casually finding excuses to kill them, which can be said to be quite cunning.

This is true for Zheng Zhilong, and the same is true for Sun Kewang.

Zheng Zhilong didn't need to say much, he was deceived by the lies of the Qing court and lost decades of accumulation, not to mention, and even caused Emperor Longwu to be killed by the Qing court.

Sun Kewang was named the righteous king of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing court sent Prince Ji Du of Heshuo Jian, and Yue Le, the prince of Heshuo'an, to lead a large number of high-ranking officials out of the city to welcome, the scene was quite grand, Shunzhi personally met Sun Kewang in the Taihe Palace, within ten days, the banquet reached three times, and the silver was given twice a total of 12,000 taels, and the mansion was given to the house, the robe, the court clothes, satin, etc., Sun Kewang became a smash hit figure in the Qing court, but after Sun Kewang betrayed the military situation in the southwest, the southwest anti-Qing forces gradually lost, Sun Kewang also rabbit dead dog cooking, don't say anything about the righteous king, It's not clear how he died in the end.

Many people only see the hypocritical side of these two faces of the Qing court, and they don't know that they are a rogue and robber regime with no reputation, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, I don't know how many people were deceived.

This time, Wu Sangui obtained a much larger title than before, mainly because he had 50,000 male soldiers in his hands, accounting for almost a quarter of the Qing army's strength.

If you can get the help of Guan Ningjun and sit in the world, what is the king of one word?

In order to tie Wu Sangui to the chariot of the Manchu Qing, Doer rolled a little clever and gave it to a Yan king.

The Qing army and the Guanning army, after a brief run-in in Jizhou, began to spread rumors, claiming that Wu Sangui borrowed troops as Chongzhen's remuneration to deceive the gentry and people of Beizhi and reduce Beizhi's anti-Qing will.

The Qing army entered the customs several times before, slaughtered the people, and had already formed a blood feud with the gentry and people in Beizhi.

If the Qing army directly raised the banner of fighting for the world, it would inevitably cause fierce resistance and non-cooperation from the gentry, so that it would be difficult for the Qing army to gain a firm foothold.

Under the banner of avenging Chongzhen and helping the Ming Dynasty pacify the thieves, the situation is different, and the mood of the gentry and the common people is complicated.

Most of the officials and gentry in Beijing were tortured by Li Zicheng, for them, the Qing army was hateful, but Li Zicheng took them to prison and robbed them of their silver, which obviously made people even more angry.

When they heard the news that Wu Sangui had borrowed troops to quell the thieves, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and spontaneously went outside the city to greet them, but what they didn't want to come was the Manchu regent Dol Luo, and entered Beijing as a conqueror.

Some people felt that the situation was not quite right and quietly slipped away, while the other part of the people were wrong, welcoming Dol into the Wuying Hall and bowing down at the feet of Dol Roll.

After all, the Manchus are a small clan, and they are very frightened in their hearts.

After Dol rolled into Beijing, he was still cautious and honest at first, listening to the opinions of Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng in everything.

In order to obtain the refuge of the Han gentry, he did not dare to make a statement to seize the world, but advertised to avenge Emperor Ming, and pretended to order that the gentry in Beijing should mourn for Emperor Chongzhen for three days.

At the same time, it was ordered that all officials should be hired in their original positions regardless of party affiliation.

In the early years of Shunzhi, the Ministry of Qing officials reported that there was an official Zhou Boda, who only served in the Guanxi Province of Shaanxi Province in the Ming Dynasty, but served as the envoy of Gansu Jiedu in the Dashun regime, and the official Liu Dayuan, who was only Linfen Zhixian in the Ming Dynasty, but was appointed as a patrol in the Dashun Dynasty.

Dole ordered that all of them be hired according to the highest official position conferred.

I have to admit that compared with the Southern Ming court, which kept a large number of northern officials out of the gate, Dolgon and the Qing court made a clever move and recruited a large number of talents for the Qing court.

After the Qing army entered Beijing, it also changed the barbaric image of the Qing army entering the Kou Pass, only knowing about slaughter and plunder, and successfully deceived and confused a large number of Han civil and military personnel, so that the Manchu Qing gradually gained a firm foothold in Gyeonggi.

At the same time as the Qing court made a breakthrough in internal affairs, it began to launch a campaign to capture Shandong and Shanxi militarily.

In these two places, the Shun army has just occupied less than three months, and Dashun has no foundation here.

For Shandong, the Qing army still spread to various places in the name of Wu Sangui, and the gentry in Shandong heard that Li Zicheng was defeated, so they launched rebellions one after another to overthrow the Dashun regime.

The Qing army took advantage of the situation to collect Linqing, Jinan, Tai'an, Qingzhou and other places, and unlike history, the Shandong Ming army, which retreated to Jining Prefecture, also received Yanzhou, Yizhou, Caozhou and other places at the request of Gao Mingheng.

Shandong's Shun army, after the main force withdrew westward, was already isolated and helpless, and had no foundation in Shandong, so it quickly collapsed.

At this time, because of the lack of troops, the Qing army did not dare to start a war with the Southern Ming, and after meeting the Ming army in Shandong, they immediately withdrew the spearhead and went all out to deal with Li Zicheng, trying to quickly settle the north, and then attack the Southern Ming.

In this case, the Qing army was divided into three routes, the middle road was Ye Chen, Shi Tingzhu, Ah Shan and other departments, chasing Li Zicheng from Guguan to attack Shanxi, seize Taiyuan, and collect the land east of the river.

On the northern route, Azig and Wu Sangui were responsible for attacking Datong, and then went around to the Hetao and entered Guanzhong from northern Shaanxi.

The south road was led by Duoduo, first collecting Weihui, Huaiqing, and Zhangde, and then crossing the Yellow River, capturing Luoyang, and then arriving at Tongguan and attacking Guanzhong.
