Hearing Feng Ruoshu say the three words of a stone lightly, Zhu Hongsan knew that although history has changed, the general direction has not changed, and what should come is still coming.

The Battle of One Stone was the last resistance of the Han nation before the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and there was no face-to-face confrontation with the Manchu elite in the following decades.

After Li Zicheng occupied Beijing, he was busy beating the ministers to make them pay money, and at the same time sent envoys to recruit Wu Sangui from Shanhaiguan.

History said that Wu Sangui was angry at the crown, and Zhu Hongsan felt that he was farting at all.

With Wu Sangui's capricious villain character, he can take a woman to heart, and later his father Wu Xiang was beheaded by Li Zicheng and didn't see Wu Sangui angry at the crown, the reason is very simple.

The conditions given by Li Zicheng were not enough, and the envoys who surrendered at that time traveled back and forth between Shanhaiguan and Beijing three times. Every time Wu Sangui promised to do well, he changed his hexagram as soon as the messenger left, and then took the opportunity to ask for it at the rising point.

Under Wu Sangui's repeated unreasonable demands, Li Zicheng decided to solve this scoundrel militarily.

As for the people and horses led by Li Zicheng, there are many sayings in history, some say 200,000, 100,000, and 80,000. Zhu Hongsan believes that there are always 100,000 people.

Among Li Zicheng's 100,000 people, 60,000 are veteran troops, all of whom are veterans who have fought many battles, and their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the elite Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty.

Wu Sangui's side is the main force of 30,000 Guanning iron cavalry, plus some messy cannon fodder troops, the number is about 50,000.

Finally, on the one hand of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen's sixteenth year of eloquent Huang Taiji died, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still a tribal chieftain system at this time, and the brothers almost didn't use the knife when the boss died.

At this time, Empress Xiaozhuang of Da Yuer and her little uncle Dolgon supported Fulin to become the emperor. But Dolgon only temporarily suppressed the internal contradictions.

In order to deflect internal contradictions, Dolgon proposed a plan to occupy the Ming Dynasty. With this big pie let all the Manchu nobles get on his chariot.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was in the ascendant period of a dynasty, and everything went smoothly, and it was at this time that the news came that Li Zicheng had captured Beijing and Chongzhen had hanged himself.

Dolgon, who was more eloquent than Huang Taiji, keenly felt that this was an opportunity, and on the ninth day of April, Dolgon gathered more than 100,000 Manchurian and Han armies to leave Shenyang and go south. Among these 100,000 people, there are 60,000, known as the invincible Eight Banners Force.

On April 13, Wu Sangui learned that Li Zicheng's 100,000 horses were attacking him, and he was frightened and immediately wrote to Dolgon, asking them for help.

But Dolgon is so easy to fool there, write to Wu Sangui, if you want to help, you can shave your head, and listen to the seal.

Wu Sangui still has to play that rogue temper, thinking if he can get more benefits. But on the 21st, Li Zicheng came to Shanhaiguan, and Wu Sangui couldn't lead the team out to fight.

Li Zicheng's old battalion is really powerful, and he is not weaker than them at all against Shangguan Ning Tieqi. But it is said that Wu Sangui is pressing.

At this time, Li Zicheng had already discovered that the Manchu Eight Banners had arrived outside the Shanhai Pass, and because he had never fought with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he had no understanding of the battle of the Eight Banners.

Li Zicheng sent his surrender general Tang Tong with 20,000 surrendered Ming troops to bypass Shanhaiguan to attack the Manchu Eight Banners.

Tang Tong was the opponent of the Manchu Eight Banners, and was easily repelled at a stone.

At this time, Wu Sangui in the pass couldn't hold on, and couldn't lead a few guards to the Manchu camp of a stone to kneel to see Dolgon, and Dolgon put forward conditions such as shaving his head, changing clothes, and marrying Huang Taiji's daughter Princess Jianning to Wu Sangui's eldest son Wu Yingxiong.

Now that Li Zicheng is about to hit the door, Wu Sangui can't fully agree to Dolgon's conditions.

After seeing Wu Sangui agree, Dolgon ordered his two brothers, Duoduo and Azig, who were the most capable of fighting, to lead all the main forces of the 60,000 Eight Banners into Shanhaiguan.

This is probably also the most dispatched by the main force of the Eight Banners, and no 60,000 pure Eight Banners elite soldiers have been sent in the previous wars since then.

Li Zicheng's 60,000 old battalion troops in the pass did not know that the Manchu Qing had entered the pass, and thought that they would be victorious after destroying the Ming army on the opposite side.

At this time, a gust of wind and sand suddenly blew on the battlefield, and when the wind and sand receded, Li Zicheng's troops found that there was a group of fierce and vicious guys on the opposite side.

The Eight Banners did not give Li Zicheng time to prepare, and immediately launched a charge after the wind and sand stopped, and it was the guards of the banner owners who started with it, the white-armored soldiers, also known as Bayala.

These guys are good at riding and shooting since they were children, and then they are selected and trained, and everyone is a military aristocrat of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who does not produce and has been killing people all their lives. They were put into service only in the most important battles. Obviously, Dorgon wanted to fight a war to solve Li Zicheng's army.

Each of these white-armored soldiers wore three layers of heavy armor, with chain mail inside, cotton armor in the middle, and heavy iron armor outside. When they appeared in front of Li Zicheng's troops, Li Zicheng recognized the gang as the Manchu Eight Banners.

But by this time it was too late, and the 80,000 Eight Banners launched a charge under the leadership of 3,000 white-armored soldiers.

Under the impact of the Jurchen heavy cavalry, the Dashun army, which was dominated by infantry, was unable to resist at all, and its physical strength had been overdrawn before.

Originally, the narrow battlefield in front of Shanhaiguan was crowded with people, and it was rushed by the Manchu cavalry, and the battlefield was suddenly empty, and the corpses were piled up like a mountain, and a large number of men and horses were washed into the sea and drowned. Since then, Li Zicheng's old camp of 60,000 troops has been wiped out.

Seeing that the defeat was decided, Li Zicheng ordered a rapid retreat. Dolgon ordered Wu Sangui to lead his army in pursuit, and then he slowly followed (the traditional practice of the Jurchens, cannon fodder on top).

When he arrived at Fanjiadian in Yongping Mansion, Li Zicheng decided to behead Wu Xiang. On the 26th, he returned to Beijing and killed 34 members of Wu Sangui's family.

On April 29, Li Zicheng proclaimed himself emperor in Beijing, and the next day, Li Zicheng left Beijing and retreated to Xi'an. Only forty-two days before and after.

Li Zicheng was beaten out of phobia by the Manchu Qing in this battle, and basically ran away when he saw those who did not have hair. In this way, he ran until Huguang Jiugong Mountain and was killed by the landlord's armed forces.

The defeat of the Dashun army left no longer a single formed force north of the Yellow River capable of resisting the Qing attack. The Qing army occupied a large part of the northern territory as if it were leveling the ground.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan sighed and said, "Uncle, aren't you worried that the Manchus will occupy the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Feng Ruoshu was stunned for a moment and said, "Can't you, they are only tens of thousands of people?" I think I can just get out of the pass after a lot of looting like I did in previous years. ”

Zhu Hongsan asked, "What if the Manchus occupy Beijing and let the Han people in the whole world shave their heads and change their clothes?" ”

Feng Ruoshu stood up and said angrily: "How is this possible, if this is the case, I believe that hundreds of millions of Han people in the world will resist to the death." ”

Zhu Hongsan thought: "It's resistance, but they've all been killed." Those who were left were obedient people with braids. ”

Zhu Hongsan didn't say anything, after all, it was still early to say this, Zhu Hongsan diverted the topic and said, "Uncle and uncle listen to what they say?" ”

Feng Ruoshu said: "In addition to Ma Shiying, I went to see Ruan Dacheng again, this guy still has prejudices against me, and he doesn't speak yin or yang." However, I heard that Shi Kefa was going to Yangzhou to supervise the division, and Ruan Dacheng was very likely to take over as the secretary of the military department. ”

Zhu Hongsan asked, "What does the Donglin Party say?" ”

Feng Ruoshu said: "They are a group of ambitious and talented guys, you say that they are stirring sticks, which is really very vivid. They don't have any action now, Jiang Yueguang, Gao Hongtu, and Qian Qianyi have all got good positions. But I don't think they can give up, so I'm leaving this fire pit. ”

Zhu Hongsan said, "How is the preparation of my uncle?" ”

Feng Ruoshu said: "Aren't you happy to go and fight for power with them? Ma Shiying had a grand plan, and they all promised me to be the governor of Liangguang. ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "This is not enough, if you want too little, we can get a few more prefects, so that our territory will be large, and we will have a few military positions." ”

Feng Ruoshu said: "If you want too much, it doesn't look good, at most there are three prefects and one general soldier." ”

Zhu Hongsan scolded: "When the hell is it, do you still care if you don't look good?" ”

He thought for a while and said: "Strive for the four prefects, the four prefects of Guangzhou, Nanxiong, Chaozhou, and Huizhou. You, the governor, had better make the governor of the two cantons. ”

The Governor is a little bigger than the Governor, and the Governor is only in charge of the military, and the civil affairs are the affairs of the Governor. The superintendent can be in charge of both the military and the people.

Feng Ruoshu scolded with a smile: "Bastard, Liangguang is not a war zone, what kind of superintendent?" ”

Zhu Hongsan said in his heart: "It's not a war zone, it's almost there." ”

Feng Ruoshu said: "Okay, I'll try my best to fight for it, but I can't speak to Ruan Dacheng, it's best for you people from the Ma family to try." ”
