Chapter 350: Sleepless Nights
Outside the city of Shenyang.
"It was a sleepless night!"
Seeing the darkness turn into a fire, hearing the boiling voice, Zheng Sen couldn't help but sigh, at the same time as the huge noise of Shenyang City came out, the faintly visible firelight expanded rapidly, it is conceivable that Shenyang City will soon become a weishenme appearance.
"After all, we can't save it, I hope more people can escape, let's pray for them!" Zhou Huchen's face was full of helplessness, hoping to become disappointed, and at the same time he was a little excited, he understood what it meant for the Qing army to abandon Shenyang.
Since Dolgon did this, it was equivalent to the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, and it can also be said that Dolgon gave up the hope of zuihou, but it is a pity that those people are innocent, I am afraid that Shenyang City has gathered no less than 200,000 people, how many people can escape from this catastrophe?
The northeast direction of Shenyang is the nearest Tielingwei, and then the northeast is Tamuwei, Yidong Hewei, Muguhewei (now Changchun), before the Qing Dynasty, here belongs to the fiefdom of the former banner of the Mongolian Guoluo Ers.
Tieling Weixi is adjacent to Horqin Left Wing Rear Banner and Tongliao, there are no lofty mountains and mountains along the way, and there are basically no obstacles on the road; The eastern part is the mountainous area, which belongs to the remaining veins of Changbai Mountain, Bingqi Mountain, Chengzi Mountain, Jiguan Mountain, Longshou Mountain, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other, and the trees are towering to the sky, which is the hometown of the Haixi Jurchen.
In addition to worrying about the revenge of the Haixi Jurchens, Dolgon also worried about being trapped by the Ming army in that mountain, after all, it is too close to Shenyang, and the Ming army has enough troops and time to trap itself in the mountains and forests.
Since he wanted to flee, Dorgon had to flee northeast, as far away as possible.
People shouted and neighed, and everyone was galloping to the northeast all night, because it was night, the scene was chaotic and uncontrollable, and I don't know how many people were scattered along the way. Behind him, the cavalry of the Ming army with torches was closely chasing. The winding fire dragon showed that the Ming army had many pursuers, and there was no room for Dolgon to rest.
Very tired, finally before the light of day to throw off the pursuers behind him some distance, very lucky and strange, the fleeing team did not encounter the expected Ming ambush along the way.
"Take a break, the front of the Fan River is Tieling."
Dorgon was even more tired because he had to coordinate the whole team. Looking at the person who ran out, the embarrassed appearance made him can't help but feel sad, how many times have he run away? The powerful Great Qing Kingdom ran away in a blink of an eye. But fortunately, the only remaining important male royal families in the Qing Dynasty are there. The little emperor and the two empresses, those fortunes and children lost a part, but it doesn't matter, this is a man's shijie, as long as the man exists, there is still hope.
It seems that there are only more than 20,000 Jianzhou cavalry, foot soldiers and family members who came out, after all, Zilharang is old, his spirit and physical strength seem to have collapsed, and he staggered to sit on the ground after dismounting with the support of a cavalryman, and Azig is not much better. Although it is stronger than Zilharang, it seems that it is struggling to support it. The most tragic thing is the Han official Hong Chengchou, who was framed down by two cavalrymen, and after being framed, Hong Chengchou could no longer stand at all. He lay straight to the ground.
There was no need to consider how many people to lose, but now it should be considered to continue to flee northeast, and the place where Dolgon was going was near the Wudi Hewei, which was the territory of the Beishan Jurchen (around the Outer Khing'an Mountains). Because along the way, he can also gather a part of the army. In that vast and sparsely populated place, with high mountains and dense forests, it doesn't matter if it's a remnant army. These armies will also belong to the largest liliang. Dolgon's idea was to be in the middle of the mountain, and then to expand further north, where the land, though cold, was wider and had more space to use.
This is a real person who is sleepy and tired, but no matter how hard and tired he is, he can't rest for too long, because there are still pursuers behind him. The cavalry of Jianzhou began to drink their horses in a pond to satisfy their personal hunger and thirst, and at this moment, the scouts in front returned exhausted.
"Qi Qi two regents, a large number of Ming cavalry were found ahead!"
This was the last news he wanted to hear, and Dolgon froze.
"How's the troop?" Still in Zilharang, he sat on the ground and hurriedly asked:
"Back to the prince, it is estimated that it will be no less than 20,000."
"If I can't run away, I said that I went back to Laozhai directly and entered the deep mountains and old forests, where we are most familiar, what can the Ming army do to us? It's okay now" It was Azig who opened his mouth to complain, and the village he said was naturally Hetuala.
", go back to Laozhai and wait for death? The space there is not suitable for us now, and you don't know how barren the old village is? How many people can be raised there? Go back, go back and never turn over! "Zilharan finally revealed his majesty.
"Forget it! When has this been? Twelfth brother, don't complain, Prince Zheng is right, we are waiting to die when we go back to Laozhai, there are not many soldiers there, instead of sighing, it is better to rush over now, as long as I can pass this level, I still have hope in the Qing Dynasty. The northern region is vast and cold, full of deep mountains and old forests, the Ming people can't adapt to it, and it will be our world in the future! Dorgon, recovering from his momentary shock, knew that he could not afford to lose his fighting spirit, and began to increase Azig's confidence.
"The cavalry of the Ming army is too strong, that's 20,000, how can we get there?" Azig had no confidence, because his confidence had long been lost by Zhou Huchen's army, and that army could not be defeated at all.
"I know where to cross the river, send some cavalry to cover!" Turning north and south, Zilharan was familiar with the area, and knew the best place to cross the river.
"Du Erhu is a junior who has always been brave and good at fighting, so let Du Erhu go to cover!" Dorgon looked at Zilharang, and he offered his advice.
"There is no problem with Du Erhu, then without further ado, let Du Erhu come over and discuss!" Zilharang sighed, but did not hesitate, because there were not many generals under him who were good at fighting.
Duerhu was the first son of the late Anping Beledudu, and Dudu was the son of Chu Ying, who was the eldest son of Nurhachi. The eldest son was personally hanged after being imprisoned by Nurhachi for two years. The reason is because of the individual, Chu Ying is brutal and narrow-minded, plus he has great military achievements, and does not take anyone seriously, so Nurhachi's "five founding ministers" Yidu, Fei Yingdong, He Heli, An Feiyangu and Hu Erhan and some brothers are not in harmony with Chu Ying, so he sued in front of Nurhachi, and Nurhachi also found Chu Ying's problems after investigation and relieved him of military power. But Chu Ying didn't want to change his ways, but he overflowed his dissatisfaction, and after being placed under house arrest, when Nurhachi went out with all the princes and ministers, Chu Ying burned incense and cursed the five ministers and brothers who complained, and threatened to execute the five ministers and those brothers after taking power, and was sued again by the secret agents in the palace, which caused a tragedy.
This candidate is very suitable, Zilharang and Dolgon can't go, Azig doesn't seem to have the courage to fight if he goes, and Durhu, who has been idle, has become a victim. This kind of relationship between interests and politics is complicated, Du Erhu is a kind Baylor and a strong general, but due to Chu Ying's reasons, it has been suppressed, and this kind of moment makes Du Erhu a matter of course.
Du Erhu didn't dare to disobey, who said that the royal family has no family affection? As for Du Erhu, he has no possibility of refusing, not for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, but because of his family, he must fight, and he will fight to the death to leave his family with hope of survival.
