Chapter 298 pacifies the north

In the middle of October, it is late autumn in the northern land.

There is a saying that there is a stubble of wind and rain and a stubble of cold, just after an autumn rain, the weather seems to be getting colder and colder.

However, in the Mongolian desert outside the Guanwai, there is laughter and laughter everywhere. Because the Mongol-Han War, which had been going on for centuries, finally came to an end. No one likes to fight, today you kill me, tomorrow I kill you, but it is all the struggle for power and profit between the ruling groups of the two sides, and it is the people at the bottom who suffer.

Deng Haonan knows very well that the war between races will either kill all the other party, or they can only integrate and accept the other party. Deng Haonan now has no ability to destroy the Mongols, so he can only retreat to the next best thing and implement a policy of softness.

Three days ago, Deng Haonan led 100,000 cavalry, together with 320,000 elites from various Mongolian departments, to meet in the Horqin tribe.

After the alliance, the 72 Mongolian provinces were divided into three Mongolian provinces. Among them, Inner Mongolia is the Inner Mongolia of later generations, and there is no change. Central Mongolia is the Outer Mongolia region of later generations, and Outer Mongolia is the Novosibirsk region of Russia in later generations, and the area of the three Mongolian regions is equivalent to more than double the land area of the Ming Dynasty.

In order to control the three vast regions, Deng Haonan set up military region headquarters in the three regions. The Naturalized Military Region was established in Inner Mongolia, the Ulaanbaatar Military Region in Central Mongolia, and the Warspurao Military Region in Outer Mongolia.

At the time of the alliance, the 320,000 Mongolian army was officially reorganized, 16 armies and 32 divisions were established, and the number was awarded, officially joining the battle sequence of the Ming army.

Ten of them were stationed at Fort Vaspur, beware of the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Turks, three were stationed in Ulaanbaatar, and the remaining three were naturalized.

After subjugating the Mongols, Deng Haonan's army strength swelled unprecedentedly. The size of the cavalry alone reached 500,000, and together with the infantry and artillery, the total strength exceeded 750,000. This is beyond Deng Haonan's plan to retain 500,000 standing troops.

However, now that the last battle of the Ming Dynasty against the Manchus had begun, Deng Haonan mobilized the 32nd army to join the final battle against the Manchus.

At this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had less than 20,000 troops left, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and their combat strength was vulnerable. After the death of Huang Taiji, only some civil officials remained in the Manchu court, and the main generals were all killed in the battle of Qihe.

Huang Taiji had only one son, Haoge, and the civil and military officials considered that the country could not be without a king for a day, so Haoge was enthroned as the emperor.

When Hauge ascended to the throne, the power was in the hands of Dorgon.

Dolgon advocated submission to the Ming Dynasty and paid tribute. But Hauge was bent on avenging his father's death and refused to pay tribute.

As Deng Haonan expected, as soon as Huang Taiji died, there would inevitably be internal struggles for power and profit.

Dolgon advocated paying tribute as a vassal, so he had no intention of evacuating Shenyang. And Hauge demanded revenge and refused to surrender, so he decided to abandon Shenyang and return to the mountains of Jianzhou, preparing to make a comeback like Nurhachi.

In this way, the two disagreed, so that the Manchu civil and military officials accounted for two pairs, attacking each other and chattering endlessly.

Originally, Dorgon was convinced that Hauge would not be able to disobey him, but he miscalculated Hauge's determination.

In mid-October, Hauge made a desperate bet and overrode public opinion, announcing that he would abandon Shenyang and withdraw to Jianzhou.

Naturally, Dorgon objected, so the monarch and his ministers were at odds, and the court turned against him. Haug had already set it up, knowing that Dorgon was arrogant, so he ambushed a large number of axemen on the left and right sides of the main hall.

These swordsmen are the elite troops left behind by Huang Taiji, responsible for protecting the security of the palace. Dolgon was arrogant and thought Haug wouldn't dare touch him, and he didn't understand why until his head was cut off.

When Dorgon was killed, Hauge took advantage of this to make a decision to retreat to the state.

On the Dongning front, after Liu Hu, the Minister of War of the Ming Empire, learned of the situation, he decided that Hauge was ready to escape, so he asked for orders to implement Plan M in advance and completely eliminate the Manchu regime.

After the order was issued, Liu Hu quickly ordered the surrounding troops to march to Shenyang.

In order to completely eliminate the Manchus, Deng Haonan mobilized two-thirds of his troops. The black-armored elite cavalry, cavalry artillery, marine division, lancers, Guanning iron cavalry, and Liaoxi horse infantry army were all put into battle.

The Black Armor Elite Cavalry and the Guanning Iron Cavalry protected Deng Haonan from going to the Horqin Department to join the alliance and prevent the 320,000 Mongolian troops from making any changes. Therefore, the first batch of troops thrown into the Second Liaoshen War did not include them.

However, even without the Black Armor Elite Cavalry and the Guanning Iron Cavalry, Liu Hu was sure enough to capture Shenyang. As long as the enemy is holding the city, then the use of artillery, infantry, and lancers will be enough to destroy them.

The only thing that worried Liu Hu was that if the Qing army gave up defending the city and chose to fight in the field, it would be difficult to eliminate them.

Fortunately, Liu Hu learned that Hauge and Dolgon had turned their faces and fought among themselves, and the Shenyang city army was unstable. So he immediately ordered the siege of the city.

On 19 October, Lieutenant General Li Han, commander-in-chief of the cavalry artillery of the Liaodong Army, ordered a heavy bombardment of the city of Shenyang.

When the order was issued, hundreds of cannons of the Liaodong Army bombarded Shenyang City, and suddenly the cannons thundered, and the bullets rained down, and in an instant the entire Shenyang City turned into a sea of fire, and the smoke of gunpowder rolled out of the sky and covered the sun.

The city of Shenyang was specially fortified during the Huang Taiji period and equipped with many advanced artillery pieces of the Russian Empire, which was not without the power to resist the shelling of the Liaodong Army.

However, the Liaodong Army had an advantage in the number of artillery and artillery skills, and the long-term combat made the cavalry artillery of the Liaodong Army experienced, and the hit rate was much higher than that of the Qing army.

The two sides engaged in a fierce artillery battle, but after 20 minutes, the Qing artillery was dead and fled, and most of the artillery was destroyed, and it was no longer possible to effectively return fire.

On the other hand, the artillery of the Liaodong Army fought more and more fiercely, grenade bombs, and solid bullets greeted at the same time, causing heavy casualties to the Qing army, and soon the artillery was extinguished and lost the ability to return fire.

Half an hour later, the city wall on the west side of the southern city collapsed, and the second and third divisions of the Liaodong Army surged in through the gap. The Qing soldiers under his command turned into birds and fled in all directions.

Before Hauge could escape out of the city, the Liaodong army broke through the city and plunged the whole city into chaos.

The civil and military officials fled home one after another, the gate was closed, and all the gold and silver treasures were piled up in the courtyard, and then the family gathered in the hall honestly, hoping that when the Liaodong army broke in, they would only take the money and not kill people.

Hauge knew that the situation was over, so he killed his wife and children with his own hands with a sword, and then forced Huang Taiji's concubines to kill themselves from room to room in the palace, otherwise he would kill them with his own hands.

However, the city of Shenyang was not large, and the lancers of the Liaodong Army soon rushed to the palace. Haorge didn't have time to supervise the imperial concubines and concubines to commit suicide, so he immediately prepared to escape.

Hauge led two thousand elites to take advantage of the chaos to escape, his two thousand elites were very strong in combat, and soon fought a bloody way to reach outside the northern city.

I thought I could escape with my life, but after escaping less than five miles, I encountered tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry.

Looking at the flag, it was the Horqin Department that came, but it was not the flag of the Mongol Khanate, but the flag of the Sun and Moon Daming.

The reason why these 30,000 Korqin cavalry came so quickly was mainly because Zhai Sang was worried that his second daughter Bumu Butai was in danger, so he ordered his son to speed up when he was marching. I hope that before the Liaodong Army breaks through the city, I will rescue my daughter first.

In this regard, Deng Haonan also nodded in agreement, because Hai Lanzhu once mentioned to him that her sister married Huang Taiji, hoping not to hurt her sister's life at that time, and Deng Haonan also agreed to Hai Lanzhu's request.

At this time, Wukeshan coaxed Taiji to see a Qing cavalry fleeing from the opposite side, and he already knew that the city of Shenyang was broken, and he was immediately anxious. However, Wukeshan Coaxing Taiji saw Haoge and recognized Haoge in yellow robe at a glance.

"It's Hauge on the other side?"

Hauge knew that the Mongols had switched to the Ming Dynasty, and now that the other side had tens of thousands of cavalry, it would definitely be difficult for him to break through. At this time, when he heard the other party shouting, he was overjoyed when he saw that it was Wuke Mountain coaxing Taiji.

"Exactly! Uncle Ukshan Cousin, you want to save me! ”

Haoge's mother is Wukeshan's aunt, and Wukeshan's sister Bumu Butai is Huang Taiji's concubine, this relationship is really messy, but in any case, Haoge is still related to Wukeshan.

"You're going to run out on your own? What about my aunt and sister? How are they? ”

"They are still in the palace, and I have no choice but to do so! Help me! I don't want to die! ”

Wu Keshan was about to answer, when a henchman and a thousand commanders whispered: "Your Royal Highness the County King, don't be rash!" The army of the King of Liao is behind and will arrive soon, even if you let him go, he will not be able to escape! Why bother to upset the King of Liao? ”

Ukeshan coaxed Taiji and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

The commander secretly made a killing gesture, and Wu Keshan suddenly understood and nodded secretly.

The commander understood and ordered the army to separate and make way for Hauge.

Hauge rushed to the doctor, and he didn't seem to have any suspicion of Ukshan, and hurriedly stepped forward to thank him.

However, at the same time as he shouted the word of thanks, the scimitar of Ukshan had already sliced Hauge's neck.

As Hauge's corpse fell, Ukeshan shouted "Kill!" ”

said that it was too late and that was fast, and at the sound of an order, the Mongolian archers quickly bent their bows and arrows, and killed Haoge's subordinates by surprise, and their corpses fell off their horses one after another.

Shenyang City has fallen into a sea of fire, and there are shouts of killing everywhere, and there is chaos.

Wukeshan coaxed Taiji to be anxious, leaving the army to clear out Haoge's subordinates and the remnants of the Qing army, and committed suicide alone to lead two thousand troops to rush to Shenyang City.

When Wukeshan coaxed Taiji to arrive at the Shenyang Imperial Palace, the Liaodong Army's Mabu Army had already occupied it.

When Ukshan reported his name, the officers in charge of guarding the palace did not understand. Fortunately, at this time, the commander of the Marine Division, Lieutenant General Xie Yi, entered the city, and he knew the special identity of Wukeshan.

"General Wukeshan is really loyal to the prince, and he rushed to the battlefield to help the battle so soon!"

Wukeshan was a little embarrassed and said, "General Xie praised it falsely!" I came so fast, in fact, to find someone! ”

Xie Yi frowned, he didn't know who Wukeshan was looking for, but the person who came to the puppet palace to find it must be very important.

"The people in this pseudo-palace are all going to commit crimes, the prince has an order, the remnants of the Manchu royal family can't live or die, they have to see people and corpses, and there can't be one missing!"

Ukshan nodded and said, "I understand this!" I have already consulted with the prince, and I will only come to the palace to find my aunt and my sister, they are just women, and they will not leave a threat to the court! ”

Xie Yi suddenly realized, and then said with relief: "So that's the case!" Come on, immediately take General Ukeshan to find someone, there must be no mistake! ”

The soldiers received the order and quickly took Wukeshan into the palace to find someone.

After Wukeshan left, Liu Jian happened to come over and see it, and Xie Yi told him again.

Liu Jian said: "It turns out that he is the son of Zhaisang!" Before that, it was rumored that Zhaisang was the most shrewd of the Mongols! ”

"It's just a mutual benefit!"

Xie Yi smiled and said, "Speculation on both sides of Zhaisang has to ensure that Horqin I is rich and peaceful!" But the biggest winner is the prince, not to mention the beauty of the hug, the most important thing is to get the surrender of the seventy-two parts of Mongolia, looking at the ancient and modern, who has such good luck as the prince! ”

Liu Jian nodded, his face was full of envy, and he suddenly asked: "It seems that the fifth princess also gave the prince the jade seal of the country, why didn't you see the prince public?" ”

Xie Yi didn't know very well, but guessed: "I'm afraid it's not yet time to make it public!" So much? The prince is destined to return, and now I only think that my name is in the list of founding heroes! ”

Liu Jian nodded, and said with a wistful face: "I'm also a little impatient, these once-in-a-hundred years founding ceremony has actually allowed us to catch up!" I'm looking forward to it! ”

While the two were talking, the palace had been charged, and Ukeshan had found his sister, but his aunt had hanged herself.

Most of the concubines chose to hang themselves, because they knew that the Han people hated them, and that life was worse than death.

"Report! The entire palace has been blocked! After the personnel count was completed, except for Hauge's absence, twenty-nine people died, and the remaining thirty-one people were all there, except for the Zhuang Concubine Korqin Borzigit who was taken away by General Wukeshan. ”

Xie Yi nodded and looked at Liu Jian, who understood and ordered: "Execute according to the original plan!" ”

"Yes!"

The order was issued, and the officers and soldiers on the mission waved their knives to kill the people on the list. At the same time, the rest of the men and eunuchs in the puppet palace were also slaughtered, and the women were taken as property, and when the war was over, they were rewarded as officers and soldiers or sold as slaves.

The war is so cruel, Deng Haonan once tried to stop it, but the whole world is like this, only Deng Haonan alone can't stop it. By now, Deng Haonan no longer asks about these things, and he knows that only when the whole world starts talking about human rights, can this situation be reduced and eliminated.

The city of Shenyang fell, and the Manchu Qing perished.

Although the War Department did not order the slaughter of the city, the Liaodong Army went on a killing spree when it broke the city, because this was the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and two-thirds of the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army had an indissoluble hatred with them.

This hatred had to be vented, so the War Department turned a blind eye and acquiesced in the actions of the officers and soldiers.

After the incident, the city of Shenyang was full of blood, tens of thousands of Manchu soldiers and civilians were slaughtered, and many Han people were also affected.

Fortunately, after Deng Haonan joined the alliance, he rushed to Shenyang and stopped the Liaodong Army from continuing the massacre. However, after this battle, the population of the Manchu Qing Dynasty withered to less than 10,000 people, and in the next few hundred years, they will become one of the extremely ethnic minorities in China.

In the next month, the Liaodong Army pursued the victory, successively conquered Fushun and Jianzhou, swept across the land of Kwantung, went east to the Whale Sea, and went north to join the Nuergan Military Region, and arrived at the Far North Military Horse Farm.

In the second Liaoshen War, within a month and a half, the Ming Dynasty completely pulled out the Manchu enemies who had been plagued for half a century, completely quelled the war in the north, and expanded the territory far beyond the territory of the Ming Dynasty when it was founded.

After a month and a half of fighting, the Ming army carried out a large-scale hunt and killing operation against the Jurchens and Han Chinese in the Kwantung region. Some of the Jurchens and traitors who had a lot of blood debts were executed, and Han army leaders such as Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi, as well as hundreds of Manchu civil and military officials, were directly executed to death, and no one was pardoned.

The reason why it is so ruthless is mainly to deter the Chinese people. Deng Haonan hated the traitors, and he wanted to change this national inferiority, so he went on a killing spree, and since then he has made a law that those who surrender to foreign invasions of the motherland will be sentenced to death, and there is no possibility of pardon.

Kwantung land, the Ming army confiscated all the land of the Jurchens, and then distributed it evenly according to the population. For the massacre, Deng Haonan needs to make amends. Therefore, after the end of the war, the Jurchens, who had no ability to resist, were still granted Ming nationality. At the same time, the Kanto region is vast and sparsely populated, and there is land in it, and in practice, most of the Jurchen people have not had their land confiscated, but only for some former Manchu nobles, and their land and property have been confiscated.

The Kwantung region was pacified, the news was transmitted back to China, the whole country celebrated, the middle palace issued a decree to reward the great achievements of Deng Haonan, the king of Liao, and the queen mother Zhang Yan tried her best to render Deng Haonan is the spine of the country, and directly called him Yao Shunyu Tang alive.

The reason why she praised Deng Haonan like this is that Zhang Yan has a purpose, she is helping Deng Haonan to establish a national pictogram and clear the obstacles for the future Zen position.

In this regard, Deng Haonan just smiled faintly, he never thought that other people's usurpation of the throne was a lot of hardship, and even like Wang Mang, he was ruined, but he didn't have to do it himself, from the emperor to the officials, they all wanted him to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Supreme as soon as possible.

After quelling the Manchu plague, Deng Haonan divided the Kwantung region into three provinces. They are the three provinces of Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang.

It's just that the territory of these three provinces is much larger than that of later generations. Liaoning occupies the territory of Liaoning and Jilin provinces in the later generations, and Jilin occupies the territory of Heilongjiang and Primorsky Prefecture in Russia, while Heilongjiang is still the largest, occupying the entire Nuergan region and the Trans-Khingan Mountains, as far as half of the East Siberian region of the Arctic Ocean, extending to the Bering Strait in the east, and Alaska on the opposite side. The territory has expanded more than sixfold.

At this point, the territory of the Ming Empire tripled, and it controlled two-thirds of Siberia. It stretches from the Arctic Ocean in the north, the Bering Strait in the east to the Hawaiian Islands in the east, Hainan Island in the south, and the Waspur Fort in the west to the shores of the Aral Sea, with a total area of 21.3 million square kilometers and a total population of 68 million people, including the population of Korea, the Ryukyus and other colonies.
