The experience of the past two months has been like sailing on a river with undulating waters, up and down, and even the intelligence of Dolgon's ability cannot help but be a little dizzy.

After learning that the throne was away from him, Dorgon's loss was inevitable. But the form is stronger than the human, and Dolgon is finally a self-aware person, and it is definitely not a wise move to seize it regardless of the general situation before grasping the general situation.

Recalling the words that Da Yu'er said in her ear, the loss in Dorgon's heart was much more indifferent. "Now that the Eight Banners have made a resolution, you don't have to be too obsessed. What is the difference between my son's accession to the throne and your accession? At the moment, there are still the constraints of the Eight Banners, I can't let you and me do what I want, one day, I will make you the emperor who is not the emperor! ”

It is precisely because of this sentence and Da Yu'er's watery tenderness that Dolgon made up his mind and firmly supported Fulin to inherit the throne.

The dust has settled on the candidate for the throne, and there are always people happy and some worried. Dolgon and Zilharang became the regent of the Manchu Qing and Prince Heshuo, and Hauge became the Prince of Heshuo in charge of the clan, and the three of them restrained each other and became the central body of the new generation of the Manchu Dynasty. The courtiers were rewarded and promoted, and in general, they were all happy.

On the sixth day of the ninth month, the five-year-old Fulin ascended the throne as the emperor under the support of the Eight Banners, and the year name was Shunzhi. Concubine Zhuang Da Yuer became the Queen Mother and was in charge of the harem affairs.

Next, it is necessary to plan for entering the customs and going south. During the battle between the two kings, Dolgon did not let go of his concern for the Central Plains. In August, the Mongolian Ordos Department sent the news that the Dashun army was approaching the Beijing division, and Dolgon immediately sent people to the Guannai to contact the Dashun army, according to Dolgon's idea, with the Manchu Qing troops, even if they could not enter the pass and go south, they could get a piece of the pie when the old and new dynasties alternated. But helplessly, Dashun did not give any reply, and this contemptuous attitude made Dolgon a little annoyed.

Therefore, the rapid support of Fulin also had the element of Dorgon's eagerness to go south.

Fortunately, soon after, Daming Ping Xibo Wu Sangui sent someone to contact, although it was the attitude of the first rat at both ends, but let Dolgon see hope, on the ninth day of the ninth month, Wu Sangui's letter for help came to Dolgon's hands, which made Dolgon like a treasure.

Although the dust has settled on the throne, Dorgon desperately needs military exploits to expand his influence and power in the Eight Banners. Therefore, with the support of Dolgon, the Eight Banners quickly mobilized nearly 100,000 soldiers from all over the country and couldn't wait to go south to Shanhaiguan. The commander of Zhengnan also deservedly fell on Dolgon's head.

Under Concubine Zhuang's advice, Dolgon discarded his opinion of Hong Chengchou and appointed him as a senator of the army to conquer the south, accompanying him at his side for reference. It was under the construction of Hong Chengchou that the Manchu army traveled under the stars and nights, and it only took more than ten days to rush to the vicinity of Shanhaiguan.

Autumn is high and horses are fat, it is a good time to send troops, and the eight banners are also very excited because of this. Just now, Wu Sangui had sent his deputy general Yang Kun to contact him, asking the Qing army to enter the pass as soon as possible, and seeing that the Xiongguan, which had been in front of the Manchu Qing for decades, was about to be broken without attacking, everyone's hearts were burning with fire.

The people around shouted and neighed, but it did not affect Dolgon's thoughts, he looked at the surrounding generals quietly, but he gave an order lightly, after defeating the He Renlong's department, all the armies returned to the camp and stood still for the time being.

In this way, the generals of the Eight Banners, including Dai Shan and others, were a little surprised. How can such a great opportunity not be exploited?

Dolgon didn't bother to explain to them, but just gestured to Hong Chengchou beside him with his eyes to answer on his behalf.

Hong Chengchou said expressionlessly: "Princes and generals, Wu Sangui guarded Liaodong in this era, and his people were cunning and fickle, and they had promised to return to Dashun before, but there was a temporary change. Now the news is hard to distinguish between true and false, my army poured out, how can I take a light risk, so I might as well take a look at the situation again, and when he is exhausted, he will be able to help, and he will be able to hold it firmly in the palm of his hand in the future. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, but they were all a little hesitant.

After a while, the soldiers came to report that as soon as the Dashun army attacked the northern wing of the city, Dongluo City also had a Wu army surrendered to the Shun army, and the Xiluo City guarded by Wu Sangui's main force was crumbling, and once it fell, the Dashun army would face the city defense of Shanhaiguan head-on.

The Eight Banners generals suddenly made a noise, thinking that Dorgon would be able to give the order to attack, but he didn't expect him to smile indifferently and simply close his eyes.

Half an hour later, Qi Chongge walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, with a hint of tremor in his tone: "Qiqi Regent, Wu Sangui, he came to meet him in person!" ”

The big tent suddenly boiled.

……

September 23 of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Shanhaiguan Dongluo City and North Wing City were successively captured by the Dashun army, the Dashun army was like a rainbow, although the Qing army was about to enter the war, but in the eyes of a group of Dashun army generals and Li Zicheng, there was nothing that could stop the soldiers and horses of the Dashun army.

Early in the morning, the horns sounded in unison in Xiluo City and Shanhaiguan City, and Wu Jun slowly came out from behind the high wall and set up a formation on the Pingchuan River outside the city. The black-clothed and black-armored Guanning Iron Cavalry was also among them

The reaction of the Dashun army was also extremely fast, and Wu Sangui was able to pour out of the fortified city, which means that the final decisive battle has come. Li Zicheng immediately mobilized Liu Zongmin's troops, including his most elite Lao Sixth Battalion, to set up a formation opposite the Wu army.

Under the umbrella of Huang Luo, the golden dragon horse hunting and dancing, which made Li Yan's brows tight, in the golden autumn season, the wind and sand in the north can often be seen, but the weather of the original sunny sky is blowing such a strong wind for no reason, and the Dashun army is standing against the wind, which will inevitably have a certain impact on the upcoming war.

"Where are the Eastern Soldiers?" Li Zicheng was still confident and majestic, and asked Song Xiance loudly.

"The eastern soldiers are camped in Weiyuan Fort, ten miles north of Shanhaiguan, and they have not yet moved their troops!" Song Xiance replied.

"Are Tian Jianxiu and He Renlong in place?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the two armies are already ready on the left and right flanks of my main force, ready to deal with the attack of the eastern army at any time!"

Li Zicheng nodded with satisfaction, but he was still not at ease, and deliberately added another sentence, "Sue Sù He Renlong, I won't take yesterday's defeat to heart, but he, Lu Guogong, must also show some skills, otherwise how can he convince the public?" ”

"Majesty!" Song Xiance has not yet promised, but Li Yan has opened his mouth, "He Renlong's troops are all former Ming troops, although they were all the elite of the border army, but they have never won a battle with the eastern soldiers, and under the anxiety of the war, they often retreat timidly, and the ministers are only afraid of ......." It is better to replace the He Renlong Department with more than 10,000 people in the rear camp of the minister! ”

"That's it!" Li Zicheng was a little impatient, "Lin Quan, you are the commander of the rear battalion, you should be in charge of the rear army, but when the war is unfavorable, in order to support the Chinese army, there are 50,000 soldiers and horses on both wings, is it not enough to resist the eastern army?" ”

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and could only bow helplessly and say that he obeyed the order. The Qing army that raided He Renlong yesterday was later found out to be indeed soldiers and horses with two white flags, and the commander of the army was Azig, with less than 20,000 people. In his opinion, even if the Qing army reinforces Wu Sangui, it will never raise a national army to fight to the death with the Dashun army that has just unified the north and is in full morale, and he believes that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not a fool, and will definitely not do this kind of loss-making business of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of itself.

Li Zicheng took a deep look at the fluttering "Three Armies Division" in the army opposite, took a deep breath, raised his arm and waved down violently, the generals behind him immediately waved the order flag, the golden drum in the army was loud, and the huge Dashun army camp began to slowly move in the direction of Shanhaiguan.

The distance between the two armies was slowly compressed, and at three hundred paces, some of the small trebuchets in Wu's army began to be activated. The stones flew like locusts towards the formation of the Great Shun Army, but they were thrown into the ocean like stones, and did not provoke much reaction. The formation of the Dashun army is still steady and calmly approaching forward.

A bang sounded, and ten thousand arrows rained down, turning into a black cloud and rushing towards the Dashun army. The vanguard of the Dashun army put up their shields to block without panic, and their footsteps still did not stop.

But what is surprising is that after a round of arrow rain, the Wu army decisively gave up holding on, and the dense horn sounded, and the front of the Guanning army could not wait to launch an attack on the Dashun army.

In this way, it surprised Li Zicheng and the generals, they didn't expect Wu Sangui to give up the formation he was holding on to and take the initiative to attack his side.

20,000 Guanning troops poured out, most of them were cavalry, which was the descendants of the Wu Sangui family who had been piled up and trained with silver and painstaking efforts, and it was also the capital for them to dominate Liaodong. Among them, the 5,000 heavily armored cavalry are all Wu Sangui's soldiers, and they are even more brave and good at fighting. Many of the generals were children of the Wu clan, and although the weather was cold, most of them took off their clothes and armor, and were naked, howling and urging the war horses under them to gallop wildly.

In the face of the Wu army's sacrificial attack regardless of a qiē, he did not panic, and the dense shields immediately formed a barrier, and the spears were erected as a repellent horse. The cavalry units of the Chinese army set out from both flanks and outflanked the Guanning army.

Behind the Guan Ning army, tens of thousands of Wu troops immediately began to accumulate forward after the cavalry was dispatched.

After the shield and gun array of the Dashun army, two thousand archers opened their bows and arrows, and the feather arrows were overwhelmingly shot at the reunited Wu army. There were not many firearms used in the Dashun Army, and this point was still the experience summed up by Li Zicheng and other generals in actual combat. The elite six battalions of the Dashun army still retain a certain amount of firearms, but most of the rest are mainly spears, swords and shields, the Shun army is mainly homeless, and the combat power is sparse, only by holding swords and guns, forming a close formation can make the soldiers maintain a certain sense of security, and will not collapse at the touch of a button, to this day, the Dashun army still maintains such a method of warfare.
