Chapter 598: Pressure on three sides, falling apart

About 100 miles away from Shengjing, a group of soldiers and horses mixed with the Manchu Eight Banners, the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of the Mongols were moving rapidly, and the one at the head was the regent Dorgon.

After giving the order to withdraw from the pass, Dolgon was a little lucky, because at that time, many people in the army no longer had any intention of staying there, and they were like arrows, which is the most appropriate description.

On the way, Dorgon heard many unexpected news.

First of all, there was a sudden change in Seoul, North Korea, and for various reasons, the Joseon Renzu Li Liang, who was originally attached to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, announced that the Korean Eight Provinces would secede from the Manchu Qing Dynasty and serve the court of the Lu Prison State in the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu in the south of the Yangtze River, issued another edict to make Li Liang the king of Joseon, and stationed more than 10,000 troops in Seoul to protect Korea from the Qing captivity.

In addition, Tumut, which dominates the grasslands, has now completely annexed Kolling.

In addition, the Tumut Khan Vulmatun announced that he would pay tribute to the court of the Lu Jian State in Nanjing, in exchange for the support of cattle, sheep and silver grain from the Qi army.

At this time, Tumut, who had received a large number of cattle, sheep and silver grain, had already united with the rest of the Mongol tribes and invaded the northern five tribes that were subject to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

In response to the order of the king of Qi, when Tumut Khan personally conquered the five northern departments, he also left a Mongolian cavalry of tens of thousands of people in the area of Liaoyang, so that Dolgon's measures to transfer Liaoyang troops and horses into Shengjing were stranded before they were proposed, and they could cooperate with the Qi army to go south at any time.

The fact that the two sides of the south and the north betrayed the Manchus at the same time must have some kind of connection between them.

If it was before, Dolgon would have thought of Wang Zheng, but he would not have been directly sure, but now the situation has come back with Li Zicheng's withdrawal from Beijing and the news of Wang Zheng's entry into the Central Plains, which is already very clear.

All of this was secretly manipulated by the King of Qi, and Dolgon, who understood all this, secretly gasped, I have to say that he had never really regarded Wang Zheng as his opponent before, which was really a bit of a miscalculation.

This person is plain and low-key, although he has gradually become rampant recently, but he does things like a drip, and he has thought about everything completely.

Dolgon would not know the role of Wang Zheng's staff, and there were some things that he didn't need to think about at all.

The Qi army and the Korean army guarding Seoul, as well as the tens of thousands of Tumut cavalry staying in the Liaoyang area, no matter which side they are, are a problem that cannot be ignored for the Manchu Qing who are now pouring out their nests.

If there is a problem in one direction, Dolgon can still mobilize enough troops to suppress it, but now the pressure from the two directions and the Shanhaiguan side is really a bit stretched.

Not to mention that there is a bigger problem, that is, the elite of the Qi army that landed in Liaodong more than a month ago, Liaodong is so big, and wanting to know the exact location of this army is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

When he returned to Shengjing all the way, Dolgon kept thinking that Prince Zheng Zierharang went to the area of Sarawei to capture the wild Jurchens and took away part of his troops.

There is also the red flag county king Lekhun with a few Baylor in the Liaoyang area to guard, Tumut suddenly rose, dominating the grassland, within a few months swept away the various departments that submitted to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in addition to Wang Zheng's support behind the back, the combat effectiveness should not be low.

Tens of thousands of Mongol cavalry, the number may be 30,000 or 50,000, in order to guard against the possibility of a large southward movement of the Tumut iron cavalry, Dolgon understood that the forces guarding Liaoyang could not act rashly.

When Dai Shan was in the Chongde year, he was the Prince of Li, and he was the most virtuous and respected figure in the Eight Banners, and even the Emperor Taiji had to be treated politely, so every time he went on a big expedition, Dai Shan would basically stay in Shengjing with the red flag.

Although the troops are weak, they have never caused any trouble, and this time it should be similar.

As soon as he thought of this, he rode from the east from afar, with a few red flags on his body, and Hauge and the others beside Dolgon were all surprised when they saw it, this person obviously came from Shengjing to report the news.

Seeing the Red Banner cavalry hurrying in, Dolgon's eagerness filled his heart with a little anger, wondering what was going on.

After the cavalry dismounted, he climbed a few steps forward, "Regent, it's not good, Shengjing has been breached, and after the Qi army enters the city, they will kill people when they see them, and the banner people have suffered heavy losses!" ”

"What did you say!?" Haoge couldn't believe it, jumped down from his horse and directly grabbed the Red Banner cavalry who reported the news, "The walls of Shengjing City are tall, and my father and emperor have been repairing them every year, how can they be breached?" ”

"Prince Su, what the slave said is the truth!" The Red Banner cavalry kept kowtowing and said with a crying voice:

"It was those Han Army Banner Ahabs who opened the door, and the Eight Banner warriors of my Great Qing Dynasty were all sold by them, and when they reacted, the Qi army had already attacked the inner gate......

Dolgon's eyes were glazed, this news was similar to Li Zicheng's attack on Beijing, the Dashun army entered Beijing without much effort, and the Qi army ignored the tall city walls and directly entered Shengjing.

Hearing this, Hauge shouted even more angrily:

"Look, what do I say, the Han dogs should be killed, you stay, what is the ending in the end, Shengjing is broken, Shengjing is gone!"

Shouting, Hauge suddenly turned around, drew his knife and shouted:

"Warriors, listen, follow me Hauge to slaughter the dogs!"

Suddenly, the grief-stricken Qing soldiers drew their swords and guns one after another, and saw that they were about to fight with Geng Zhongming and other Han army banners who were following behind, at this time, Dolgon shouted:

"Okay, when is it, it's not big enough!?"

"Mess?" Hauge didn't flinch this time, sneered again and again, and squinted at Dolgon, "I said Regent, you have only been an assistant for a year, it turns out how strong I am in the Qing Dynasty, and look at the current situation, how far has it become." ”

"The Han people are massacring our banner people in Shengjing City, what about you, Dolgon, do you still have to protect these Han people!?"

"You've let us down too!"

Haoge's words were recognized by a large number of Manchu nobles, among whom not only the princes and ministers of the two yellow banners who were originally loyal to Haoge, but even some of the two white flags Beile Zhangjing silently pulled out their knives and looked at Geng Zhongming's generals of the Han army banner, their faces full of hatred.

"Yes, Prince Su is right!" Ao Bai jumped out, drew his knife and was the first to stab the Han civil official who followed him to death, raising his head, "Kill all these Han dogs!" ”

Ao Bai was regarded as a hornet's nest at this time, and the original neat Eight Banners army began to fight, and most of the Eight Banners soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were in the extreme pain of losing their families and their homes, and chose to blame the Han people around them for their faults.

They indiscriminately slaughtered all Han people, whether it was the civilian officials who accompanied the army or the banner generals of the Han army who had been obedient for a long time, and a melee was immediately staged.

"My God......"

Hong Chengchou had long known that the current situation was unfavorable to the Han people, so when he could keep a low profile, he would never say a word, and even the army followed on the very side.

But he didn't expect that even Dolgon could no longer restrain these Eight Banner soldiers, no matter how the few White Flag Baylors shouted, the Qing soldiers of the rest of the banners were frantically rushing towards the Han Army Banner.

Speaking of some lucky ingredients, there happened to be no Eight Banners soldiers paying attention to the place where Hong Chengchou was staying, and looked at Dolgon, who was no longer in control of the situation, Hong Chengchou suddenly slapped his horse and ran.

The Han Army's Banner was scattered in a hurry, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi also died in the chaos, and the Eight Banners pursued the rest of the Han Army, but soon, they noticed the large number of troops on the other side.

The Mongolian cavalry that accompanied the expedition did not know what was happening in their hometown, and many people were still happily watching the drama of the Eight Banners chasing and killing the Han army, but they did not expect that this nameless fire would soon burn on their faces.

Haoge, Ao Bai and others rushed straight to the Mongolian cavalry with the angry Eight Banners cavalry, although the Mongols were not as good as the Manchurian soldiers, but they were much stronger than the Han army like cannon fodder.

It was not long before the Mongol commander Tumut, who had long been dissatisfied with the Manchus, killed the Korling chieftain loyal to the Manchus with a sword, and led the Tumut cavalry and various cavalry to rush over.

No one thought that the Manchu army, which originally seemed indestructible, would fall apart after hearing a piece of news, and fought fiercely with the Mongol and Han soldiers and horses hundreds of miles away from Shengjing.
