As the Ming army approached Shanhaiguan day by day, the big newspapers and tabloids of the Ming Dynasty were happily talking about it in the past two days, since it is the will of heaven in the dark, will it be "providential" to the end, and there will be another "Wu Sangui" in the 20th century?

In particular, some tabloids, while introducing in detail the detailed information of the Qing army guards in Shanhaiguan - name, age, place of origin, height, weight, blood type, genus, constellation, resume, wife and children, and three generations of ancestors, while solemnly yy, predicting that this person's concubine will be occupied by a certain evil young man in Beijing, *** take the opportunity to occupy it, and then the guard will be angry and angry, open Shanhaiguan for the Ming army, and enter Beijing without blood, and reproduce the scene three hundred years ago......

In the past few days, the topic of 1644 has become a hot topic in the media. The newspaper published relevant background information, historical data, and expert interviews at length, and on the edition, some such as "The Flower of the Emperor", "The Legend of the Crying Blood of the Old Beijing", "The Strange Story of Nandu", "Wu Sangui and Chen Yuanyuan", "The Secret History of Changping", "The Romance of the King of Yanping", "The Legend of the Heroes of Jiangnan", "The National Teacher Chen Jinnan", "Ah, Tai-Wan! 》…… A series of such businesses began to be serialized and were widely sought after.

Taking advantage of this craze of chasing Empress Changping, Zheng Chenggong, and Chen Jinnan, the current helmsman of the Tiandi Society, Qiu Laohu, was also very proud, and accepted interviews from several newspapers, and said a lot of bold words with a big mouth:

"There is always some prejudice against us, thinking that we are a triad...... In fact, we are not an underworld, we are a patriotic society...... I am proud to be the chief helmsman of a 300-year-old patriotic society. Our Heaven and Earth Society is for the country and the people, and every chief helmsman must use practical actions to love the country...... For example, I gave birth to a good daughter and found a good son-in-law...... Hehe, if it weren't for my good daughter, my son-in-law's talent, would he be able to be shown by the country? Haha, this is called patriotism with practical actions......"

……

But in the high command, a group of Ming army generals are not as romantic as newspapers. However, they appear to be more optimistic.

On the evening of 8 July, Tang Yunsheng, chief of the general staff of the Sixth Army, sat in the broadcast studio of the Jinling Broadcasting Company and was interviewed by the Jinling Broadcasting Company to express his views on the current war situation.

In the past few days, Shanhaiguan has become a hot topic of discussion. Everyone is discussing whether the Qing army will also produce a 'Wu Sangui'. Hehe, I can understand everyone's feelings. But here I want to give you a reassurance, that is, the way of war in 1937, not the way of war in 1644. Shanhaiguan is not Hangu Pass or Juyong Pass.

"Anyone with military knowledge knows that in the era of cold weapons, the level that can be opened by one man and ten thousand people will be greatly discounted in the era of hot weapons. And we know that whether it is the Yangtze River defense line operated by the Ming Dynasty or the three major checkpoints operated by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they all belong to the permanent defense line. According to the division of support, there are three main types of permanent defense lines: plain defense lines, mountain defense lines, river defense lines, and coastal defense lines.

I want to tell you that among these types of defense lines, the easiest to break through is the plain defense line. It is well understood that the plain defense line did not have any antennas to rely on, and it was all artificially built fortifications. Even stronger is the river defense line. Even stronger, the coastal defenses. The strongest of them is the mountain defenses. Relying on the lofty mountains and mountains, it is very difficult to destroy the permanent fortifications if they are well built and the garrison troops have the will to fight.

"Among the three major checkpoints of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Hangu Pass and Juyong Pass can be regarded as mountain defense lines. Shanhaiguan, on the other hand, can only be regarded as a combination of the plain defense line and the coastal defense line. In 1644, Shanhaiguan was indeed insurmountable for the Qing army. Because the control of the sea at that time was completely in the hands of the Ming army, the Qing army could not bypass the old dragon head and ascend from the Guannei 6. At that time, it was the era of cold weapons, and even if a high wall was built on the plain, it would be difficult for the army to break through. As we all know, Wu Sangui, the defender at that time, surrendered to the Qing army, otherwise the Qing army would not have been able to enter the pass.

"But today is different. It was the Ming army that wanted to enter the customs, and the sea was still in the hands of the Ming army. There is a ready-made port Qinhuangdao more than ten kilometers southwest of Shanhaiguan, and the coastal defense of Qinhuangdao is weaker than that of Tianjin. We can choose to bypass Shanhaiguan from the sea and capture Shanhaiguan from behind, or we can choose to bombard the plain fortifications of Shanhaiguan with 16-inch naval guns. In short, there will never be the situation in 1644 - the success of the entry depends entirely on the body of Wu Sangui.

"Of course, if the Qing army also produces a Wu Sangui, of course it will be better, and we will welcome it more. This will ultimately allow us to sacrifice fewer people and waste less ammunition. We will also reward Wu Sangui in the same way that the Manchu Qing Dynasty rewarded Wu Sangui in that year, and reward this 'Wu Sangui' of the Qing army. Hehe, but let's talk about it first, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty gave Wu Sangui the title of king, today we will not give the Shanhaiguan guard the title of king. As I said, the success of our entry does not depend on the Shanhaiguan guards. If he submits to us, we can give him a reward of 5o million oceans according to the standard of an army. However, if he decides to be buried with the Manchu regime, then we respect his choice. ”

……

The Qing army's Shanhaiguan guard was named Kushan and was a lieutenant general. Of course, the Ming army did not expect Kushan to really surrender Kaicheng like Wu Sangui. As the last natural danger barrier of the Ming army, Emperor Guangwu put a lot of effort into Shanhaiguan. First, he had transferred all the Han army units stationed in the army and replaced them with the Eight Banners Division. Then, he "received" the whole family of Kushan from Zhili to Beijing, and gave them a mansion compound, which was called "Now Kushan is the pillar of the Qing Dynasty, shouldering the heavy responsibility of resisting the Ming army, and I can't treat his family badly, so that he can't concentrate on fighting on the front line." In fact, everyone knows it, and Kushan himself knows that the emperor is taking his family as hostages.

Also, in addition to taking his family members hostage and removing the Han army, Guangwu also arranged a large number of sticky pole spies in the Shanhaiguan garrison, as eyes and ears, supervising them to fight well. Also, Guangwu raised the treatment of the Shanhaiguan garrison to the highest in the 6th Army. Even the big-headed soldiers, who can usually only nibble on pancakes and eat pickles, are now canned food.

In Shanhaiguan, there are now all full of officers and soldiers. In order to boost morale, loudspeakers in the fortifications and barracks played uplifting songs throughout the day, inspiring their national pride:

"On the top of Changbai Mountain, stepping on the white snowflakes, I saw the eagle god Hai Dongqing flying between the vast heaven and earth. Walk through the deep woods and draw the heavenly bow. Brother who draws a hard bow, run proudly.

"Changbai Mountain is the root of our Manchurians, and Heilongjiang, it is the root of our Manchurians. Haiqing flies, proudly looks at the white earth, fights the wind and waves, is proud and fearless, Brother runs, looking for colorful light, brave, strong, forbearing, firm, and casting loyalty.

"The east where the sun rises, the mountains and rivers, have nurtured industrious and brave people, and their careers are as brilliant as the sun, and I proudly call him: Manchuria......"

Manchu soldiers in the bunkers and tunnels played poker, ate canned food, or looked into the distance with gun mirrors. One by one, their expressions were numb, unmoved by the singing.
