After subduing Geng Jingzhong's old army, Zhu Qing recruited 30,000 soldiers to continue to conquer Shengjing, the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause of the assistance of Zhang Han, Wang Meng and other generals, the conquest army avoided many troubles along the way, and the speed of the march increased greatly. At noon the next day, we had arrived in the area of the Liao River.

Just when Zhu Qing was about to lead the army to cross the river and attack the city, Dolgon led a million Qing troops to the city gate of Beijing. But one piece of news came as a surprise to Dolgon.

"Report!" A hurried voice, "Report to the prince, Beijing spies are coming to report that the Ming court has moved south to Nanjing!" ”

"What? Could it be that Beijing is already an empty city?! Dorgon exclaimed.

"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is still in the palace, saying that 'the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies Sheji' It is said that he wants to live and die with the city of Beijing!"

"Humph! The people of the Central Plains will shout slogans! When my Eight Banners Iron Horse steps into the Forbidden City, how do I see him guarding?! Dorgon laughed contemptuously, "Who is the one who moved south?" Dorgon then asked.

"According to the spies, it was the prince, concubine and some ministers of the Ming Court, and it was Chongzhen who personally sent them away!"

"Prince! Let the tiger return to the mountain, I am afraid that there will be trouble! Dodor said.

Dolgon nodded, "It seems that Chongzhen is repaying his determination and pinning his hopes on his sons!" ”

"Prince, if you don't eradicate the roots, there will be endless troubles!" Zu Dashou was well versed in the principle of the change of power in the Central Plains, and urged Dolgon to send troops south.

"Well, on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep peacefully?" Dorgon paced back and forth a few steps before suddenly turning to Dodor, "General Dodor! ”

"The last general!"

"This king ordered you to lead 50,000 elite soldiers to the south to hunt down and kill the remnants of the Ming Court to prevent future troubles!" Dorgon has finally given the order to hunt down!

"The last general obeys!" Duoduo was also murderous, but he suddenly calmed down and glanced at Beijing City, "Prince, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally guarded the city and supervised the battle, I'm afraid it will ......"

Of course, Dorgon knew what Dorgon was trying to say, but he smiled lightly, "Don't worry! Since Chongzhen is ready to move the capital, of course, he also has the psychology of defeat, and retreats without a fight, how can such a king resist my inevitable Eight Banners! The king is scheduled to capture the city of Beijing within three days, and take the emperor and Niangniang into the Central Plains. When the time comes, you will settle the affairs of the south to this king!" ”

Seeing that Dorgon was so ambitious, Dorgon was also full of confidence, and swore an oath, "Please rest assured, the prince will live up to his mission!" ”

"Good! You can set off and pursue the Ming army fleeing south! Dorgon shouted.

"Yes!" Duoduo received the order and quickly transferred 50,000 elite soldiers and several generals among the million Qing soldiers. Although the number of people transferred is not many for a million army, it is the elite of the elite of the Qing army, and Duoduo alone is equivalent to cutting off one of Dorgon's arms! But Dolgon couldn't help it! Once the southward moving Ming army settles down and forms a climate, it may not be so easy to cross the river to fight when the time comes, and he is completely confident that his Eight Banners Iron Cavalry can catch up with those pampered princes, princesses and concubines! Therefore, Dorgon did not interfere with Dordor's selection of generals. He is very confident in himself, and he won't need so many soldiers to attack Beijing City!

Just as Duoduo was leading his troops south, news suddenly came from the northwest fork!

The two armies are fighting in the suburbs of Beijing!

"It's Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui's people who are fighting!" The spies came to report.

"Have you read carefully?!" This can't be said to be bad news for Dolgon, Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng fought, even if Dolgon can't sit back and reap the benefits, it can also alleviate the uncertainty of the northwest road behind him!

"It's true, we asked Wu Sangui's subordinates, it is said that when Wu Sangui withdrew his troops, he suddenly remembered his concubine Chen Yuanyuan, but Chen Yuanyuan had already gone south with the Ming court, Wu Sangui thought that this was deliberately arranged by Chongzhen, to win people's love, so he ran away and did not return to Beijing! I never thought that I would encounter Li Zicheng in the Beijing suburb store. The two already had old grudges, and there were rumors that Chongzhen let go of Chen Yuanyuan in order to entrap Li Zicheng, and the new anger and old grudges came together, and the two teams of soldiers and horses fought without declaring a war, and they fought in the suburbs of Beijing! The spy was very subtle, but it seemed that what he said was true.

"Great! God help me! When Dolgon heard this, his heart was overjoyed, "What the red face is talking about is such a ridiculous thing for the people of the Central Plains, hahaha!" ”

Zu Dashou listened to it, he couldn't care about being happy, after all, it was his nephew and the bandit leader who did it, although they were all half a catty and half a tael, but the area of the Beijing suburban store was still a familiar territory for Li Zicheng, but it was a bit of a bully for Wu Sangui, who was stationed outside the customs all the year round.

Zu Dashou pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Have you ever seen Jinyiwei?" ”

"This ...... I didn't pay attention to it. "The spies are embarrassed.

"Hey, why should General Zu worry about Jinyiwei? Presumably they are all shrinking to Beijing. Dorgon said disapprerovingly.

Zu Dashou was not, he said to Dolgon, "Prince Yu, this Beijing suburb shop has always been a military fortress of the Ming court, and it has always been garrisoned by Jinyi Guard, and now that the two armies of Wu and Li are fighting here, it is impossible for Jinyi Wei not to know." ”

"What if you get it? Wouldn't it be more lively for the three of them to fight together? Dorgon laughed.

"Definitely. Prince, since Wu Sangui has a grudge against the Ming court, why doesn't the prince add more effort to win him over? Earlier in Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui had already had the intention of returning to the Qing Dynasty, but because of the way of the monarchs and ministers of the Ming court, he did not tear his face, judging from this breakthrough, if it wasn't for Wu Sangui's unwillingness to fight, I'm afraid it would ......" Before Zu Dashou finished speaking, one of the generals around Dolgon shouted angrily, "Do you mean that without Wu Sangui's concession, our Eight Banners Iron Cavalry can't break through Shanhaiguan?!" ”

"That's not what the last general meant, please Prince Mingjian!" Zu Dashou hurriedly expressed his position.

The general tried to provoke, but was stopped by Dolgon, "That's enough." What General Zu said is not unreasonable! ”

Dolgon stopped the full general, paced a few more steps, and said to Zu Dashou, "General Zu, in your opinion, how should we intervene in the battle of Wu Li and win Wu Sangui?" ”

"Prince Yu, Wu Sangui is the nephew of the last general, and now he is cornered, the last general thinks that if the last general goes to surrender, the possibility of success is very great, and the army in Li Zicheng's hands is less than 100,000, if the last general leads 100,000 troops to help Wu Sangui, the Wu army will retreat, and then the prince will have more than 200,000 troops, this gamble can be drawn." Zu Dashou pretended to be mysterious in front of Dolgon.

Dolgon also nodded after hearing this, of course he knew that the best person to recruit Wu Sangui was none other than Zu Dashou, but now that the siege was imminent, Duoduo had just taken away 50,000 elite soldiers, and now Zu Dashou was going to take away 100,000 troops, which made Dolgon hesitate a little.

After thinking about it for a long time, Dolgon said to Zu Dashou, "This king will let you lead troops to help King Zhongxiao, clear Li Zicheng, and recruit Wu Sangui." ”

"Prince Xie." Zu Dashou immediately responded.

"But......" Dolgon said, "the siege of Beijing is imminent, just in case, this king can't let you take so many soldiers, this king ordered you to lead your 50,000 soldiers to conquer the Beijing suburbs, is there a problem?" ”

The strength of the army was discounted by half, which of course made Zu Dashou a little embarrassed, but when he looked at Dolgon's non-negotiable eyes, he could only nod and answer, "No problem!" ”

"Good! When you are triumphant, this king will add you a first-class merit and crown the king of loyalty and filial piety! Never let down your nephew and uncle's loyalty to the Qing Dynasty! "Dolgon is very good at winning people's hearts, and this trick has been tried and tested many times for Zu Dashou!

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Zu Dashou was already desperate, and immediately buckled his head to thank him.

"Without further ado! Let's go! Dorgon ordered.

Zu Dashou led his 50,000 soldiers and horses through the northwest suburbs of the road and rushed to the Beijing suburbs!

As soon as Zu Dashou left, the generals around Duo Ergu were already eyeing Beijing City, and the soldiers of all departments were eager to try, and they all wanted to be the first to enter the Forbidden City and seize the merits!

However, after suddenly pulling out the two generals and 100,000 soldiers and horses, Duoduo and Zu Dashou, Dolgon still hesitated, "Wait! ”

Wait for another day!

However, this day was not good news for Dolgon!

Originally, Wu Sangui's more than 200,000 yuan did not suffer a loss to Li Zicheng's 100,000 people, and his brother-in-law Zu Dashou personally came to help, so it can be said that he had the chance to win, but he never expected it!

Halfway through, he made a trip to bite the gold! This Cheng Biting Jin is none other than Jinyiwei!

The red-eyed Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui's nephew forgot for a while that this was the territory of Jinyiwei, although they did not find Jinyiwei when they arrived, but when the two sides fell into a stalemate, an army of Jinyiwei surrounded them from the west!

It turned out that the Jinyi Wei of the Beijing suburb store saw that the battle situation was too big and felt bad, so he returned to Kaifeng to ask for help! When Liangshan, the defender of Kaifeng, and the old general of the former Chuang Army heard that Li Zicheng was trapped in Yedian on the outskirts of Beijing, how could the army that was already wandering near Yedian sit idly by?

Under the leadership of Liangshan, the army of 30,000 Jinyi guards carried firearms, machetes on their backs, and roared on war horses!

For Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou and others, who had just finished the battle of Shanhaiguan, the Jinyi Wei army waiting for an opportunity at the border could be described as waiting for work, plus the equipment was victorious, and the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers was one as ten, and soon Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou were caught off guard with a sudden rise of the army!

Liangshan's Jinyi Wei army instantly scattered Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou, plus Li Zicheng relieved his anger, he was by no means a caged bird, and his murderous aura was even stronger, chasing Zu Dashou and fleeing! Liangshan led the fire team to pursue Wu Sangui's more than 80,000 people all the way south, and the rest of Wu Sangui's subordinates surrendered in the suburbs of Beijing. Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui's nephew and uncle went north and south one and fled!

Zu Dashou was hit by a stray arrow when he was about to turn into the northwest suburbs road, and Li Zichengcai ordered to stop the pursuit! Zu Dashou was carried back to the Dorgon camp on the outskirts of Beijing by his subordinates for treatment and picked up a life. But for Zu Dashou, who did not complete the mission but lost his troops, Dolgon did not tolerate this time, and he coldly left a sentence, "Attack the city tomorrow!" As he spoke, he walked to the Beijing city defense map.

And Wu Sangui, who fled south, was relatively not as embarrassed as Zu Dashou, although he was forced by the power of Jinyiwei's firearm and did not dare to turn back, but after all, there were many people, and it was a huge momentum to escape, and Liangshan did not dare to underestimate the enemy carelessly, he fought and walked, and did not dare to rush in easily.

Liangshan led 20,000 cavalry to chase Wu Sangui all the way to the border of Henan, then stopped and collected his troops back to the city.

But Wu Sangui lost more than 100,000 people at once, and he was like a frightened bird, and he didn't dare to stop, all the way south, through the two lakes, through Guizhou, and directly to Yunnan, so he dared to stop and breathe a sigh of relief. Wu Sangui, a generation of heroes who once commanded the Shanhaiguan, actually ran all the way across most of China, and when he really fled for his life, people's potential was huge. Wu Sangui entered the remote corner of Yunnan to recuperate, laying the foundation for his comeback in the future! This escape seems to be embarrassing, but it can't be said that Wu Sangui is reborn again. Of course, that's another story.

And when Wu Sangui was wading through mountains and rivers to escape for his life, the battle of the Forbidden City had already begun!
