The Ming army began from Zhangjiakou and Chengde to provoke the Mongols, and finally fought to the foot of Shengjing City, and there were some diplomatic claims in the middle (that is, the Manchu Qing Dynasty also participated in Mongolia's previous violation of the Ming embargo with the Xuanda traitor merchants, and the Ming Dynasty attacked Jinzhou immediately after conquering Tongliao for this direct reason), and these actions all added up, and it took a total of two or three months.

Nanjing's imperial court, of course, also had plenty of time to react, so since the siege of Jinzhou began, Zhu Shuren himself had already arrived in Beijing and personally sat in charge of the overall situation.

The city of Jinzhou was broken, Guangning and Haizhou were taken one by one, and Shengjing was surrounded before Haizhou was taken, and Zhu Shuren knew every step of the way.

In the western Liaoning corridor, 600-mile expedited messengers travel back and forth every few days to bring the latest advances from the front back to Beijing.

Now, knowing that Haoge actually chose to escape, taking half of the main force of the Qing army, rounding the Liaohe River valley to the east and retreating to Ningguta, Zhu Shuren immediately realized what Haoge was thinking:

"Does this guy want to be Wu Sangui himself and let his younger brother Shunzhi be Chongzhen? Let the 'first emperor' be martyred, and then he will start a new business in Ningguta? You don't have to bear the name of killing the monarch, you can directly ascend the throne as the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty?

He got the highest political interests, and by the way, he also kept a considerable part of the main force of the Qing Dynasty, so he was so calculating. ”

After all, Shengjing was the capital of the country during the Nuer Hachi period, and it was the foundation of the puppet Qing Dynasty and even the Later Jin regime. The Qing court did not have to martyr an emperor if he gave up Beijing, anyway, Beijing was not left to them by the ancestors and ancestors, it was just beaten by himself, and he didn't feel distressed if he couldn't hold it.

But if you surrender and lose Shengjing without a fight, you will definitely be sorry for the ancestors and ancestors, and you will be sorry for Nuer Hachi and Huang Taiji. People all over the world will poke his spine bones and scold him for selling Yetian without feeling distressed.

Martyrdom of one emperor as a sacrifice, others turned grief and anger into strength, inherited the will of the first emperor and continued to resist, so it can be regarded as an explanation.

At this moment, Zhu Shuren even understood a little bit why Chongzhen didn't dare to run away without anyone to help him.

After figuring out Haoge's motives and Shunzhi's situation, Zhu Shuren couldn't help but discuss with his staff and generals around him to discuss how to deal with this situation.

Because the generals and famous generals were sent out to fight, there were not many generals left in Beijing, and Cao Bianjiao was seriously injured and disabled because of the Huang War a few years ago, and now he rarely led the troops in person, so he stayed in the city, and Zhu Shuren recruited him.

After clarifying the situation, Gu Yanwu, a civilian staff member, took the lead in replying: "Lord Wang, since Haoge is selling the king to survive, if we let him escape to Ningguta, and then consume with me for a long time, I am afraid it will be protracted."

This time Shengjing is easy to take, but because the Liao River water leads to the Bohai Sea, and the Bohai Sea sea power is controlled by my Ming Dynasty, it has been many years, although Shengjing can not be said to be close to the Liao River, but the city is not far from the Liao River. Our imperial army marched into Liaodong, and the logistics and supplies could keep up smoothly.

However, if the Qing army retreats to Jilin in the future, the water system of the Song and Nen rivers is not connected to the Yellow River and Bobo, and it will be extremely difficult to supply the grain and grass needed for the pursuit of the army, and the Qing army will hide in Tibet and it will be difficult to search for a long time.

From this point of view, it is better to send an envoy to try to persuade the Shunzhi puppet emperor to surrender, and let him know that the court will not kill him, and there is still use value, and he should be used to break the resistance of Haoge's subordinates. If he is willing to surrender, why worry that the Manchu Qing Dynasty will not be able to completely subdue him, and he will not have to dig into the white mountains and black waters to slowly search and kill. ”

When Zhu Shuren heard this, he was not in a hurry to draw conclusions, but smiled and said nothing, looking at Cao Bianjiao, who was the representative of the generals.

Cao Bianjiao knew the soldiers, but he didn't read much other history books, scratched his head, and said: "King, what Mr. Gu said may be reasonable, but capturing a weak and young puppet emperor with no prestige, he wants to restrain Haoge in the future, and the last general also thinks it is unlikely."

Say ...... If it is not right, Yingzong was captured by Warat that year, and when he went to the border gate to call the door, he did not see the border generals listen to him. After Yu Shaobao established the new king, he ...... In short, as long as Shunzhi surrenders today, even if he is still alive, Hauge would like to do so, he will definitely stand on his own immediately! ”

Only then did Zhu Shuren comment: "It's right to be lenient to the enemy." Brother Tinglin, you can't easily think about the problem in this regard. ”

Gu Yanwu hurriedly said that he was taught: "It's a lowly and pedantic, and the lowly position is just thinking that Qin Shihuang destroyed Zhao back then, but after breaking Handan, he gave preferential treatment to Zhao Wangqian, in order to prevent Zhao's widows from supporting Zhao Qian's brother Zhao Jia and continuing to resist Qin."

Although Zhao Jia was still embraced later, because Zhao Qian was not dead, Zhao Jia could only be called the acting king and could not be called the king of Zhao.

At the time of Yingzong, the Northern Hunt of Warat did not endanger the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, but it was more because of the fact that the strength of Wara and my Ming Dynasty was far from each other. And now between my Ming Dynasty and Jiannu, it is strong in attack and weak in defense, and the gap in strength is far greater than that of Qin and Dai. The weak coerce the king of the strong country may not be able to turn the tables, but the coercion of the strong country and the king of the weak country are easy to have miraculous effects. ”

After listening to Gu Yanwu's analysis, Cao Bianjiao also shut up for a while, and finally thought of another angle of rebuttal, and couldn't help but say:

"Even if what Mr. Gu said is feasible, it just means that my Ming should be forced to land on the Shunzhi puppet emperor and cannot be killed. But even if you want to make a forced landing, you can still make a forced landing after breaking the city, what is there to send to negotiate?

My Ming Dynasty is now strong and artillery, and the siege of the city is like a bag to get something. As long as you can fight a field battle to annihilate the enemy, it doesn't matter if you have one more wall or one less wall. Therefore, Sun Tzu's saying that 'ten will surround it, and five will attack it' has become invalid, and with a large number of Hongyi heavy artillery, two or three times the strength of the army can attack the fortified city!

Even so, there is no need to worry about 'killing one-third of the soldiers and not being able to go down the city', the soldiers fought to the death for ten years for the imperial court, in order to make the last victory.

Now Shengjing is in front of you, and the city has hoarded the wealth of dogs and tartars that have plagued my Ming Dynasty for decades of looting and extortion! If the city is opened without blood, why don't you seal the knife for three days and snatch back what the Tartars have stolen for decades? Do you want to admit their stolen goods? If you want me to say, let's go into the city, and finally take care not to kill Shunzhi, but to capture the prisoners alive. ”

Zhu Shuren's eyes lit up, and he felt that he was still a reckless person like Cao Bianjiao, and it was rare to be more reliable than a safe person like Gu Yanwu.

Indeed, if Huairou is forced to land in Shunzhi, it doesn't mean that you can't attack the city. There is too much wealth accumulated in Shengjing City, which is different from the past, even richer than the city of Beijing abandoned by the Qing army.

Beijing City was originally an organized retreat of the Qing army, and the materials were all moved, but Shengjing did not have time to rush to transport it this time, nor did it give up in an organized manner, so it was directly besieged.

What else do you have to hesitate about!

Of course, Haoge could not be completely unprepared, and during the truce of farming in the past few years, the high-level Qing court must have also considered the issue of "Shengjing may not be safe in the future", and may have transferred part of the treasury to Ningguta, Jilin in advance.

However, it is impossible to transfer the wealth of the people, especially the "Ten Kings Pavilion" left in Shengjing by the Manchurians, and the private property of so many royal palaces that have been sealed since Nuer Hachi, on a large scale.

If you don't kill Shunzhi, you should also kill the powerful people who live in the Ten Kings Pavilion! Just keep one Shunzhi (not never kill, just stay for a few years, and you can't kill before Hauge dies)

Shunzhi himself is a puppet, he doesn't know the soldiers, and he may not have much blood on his hands, so he can put it aside for the time being.

But those Manchu princes and county kings who lived in the Ten Kings Pavilion, which one was not a general with troops? How much Han blood debt do they have on their hands? It is only natural that these people should be destroyed!

"It's lonely hesitation, then there's nothing to say, let Li Dingguo and Wu Sangui go all out to attack the city! After the city is broken, it is not allowed to kill the puppet emperor, and do not intrude on the inner palace, but other full cities and inner cities can not be sealed for three days!

The outer city where the Han people live is not allowed to kill at will, and it must be sealed off inside and outside when the time comes! It is also necessary to beware of people in the inner city fleeing to the outer city, blending in with the Han people and pretending to escape!

Therefore, it is best to break through the outer city first, and then break the inner city, and the two breaking time is slightly widened, even if you have the strength to break the inner city immediately after breaking the outer city, you are not allowed to break it immediately, and you don't give a chance to fish in troubled waters! ”

……

Zhu Shuren's order was soon sent to the Shengjing army within three or four days.

Li Dingguo and Wu Sangui were mainly preparing for the outer city during this time, and when they waited for the letter, the outer city wall had actually been smashed in several places.

After confirming the prince's request, Li Dingguo also quickly came back to his senses and understood the true and deep thoughts of the prince, so he resolutely implemented it.

After five or six days of bloody fighting, killing thousands of Qing soldiers, the Ming army broke through the south gate of Shengjing on the evening of the ninth day of November.

The army of the Ming Dynasty poured into the outer city, searching and killing alley by alley, because the sky was too dark, it was impossible to take advantage of the situation to attack the inner city continuously, leaving the Qing army in the middle of the night to flee and shrink.

At dawn the next day, the remnants of the Qing army in the outer city had naturally been searched and killed by the Ming army. Subsequently, the Ming army took a good time to demolish some residential areas, pulled siege artillery in, re-set up positions inside the outer city and outside the inner walls, and dug pits and ditches in an attempt to bombard.

The battle came to this point, in fact, Shunzhi was already too weak to do anything, and tried to send envoys to negotiate with the Ming army.

But the outer city is broken, and there is only one inner city left, how can the Ming army talk to him? Li Dingguo had already ordered to go down, be careful at night, shoot when you see a Tartar, and don't think about capturing the prisoner alive.

So of the two groups of people sent by Shunzhi, none of them got a chance to open their mouths.

Together with his brother-in-law Tong Guogang, he also sneaked out of the inner city under the protection of the guards, trying to negotiate with Li Dingguo near the Ming army camp under a white flag, but was shot dead by the Ming army sentry on the way.

Even if Tong Guogang has Kan Ze's eloquence, he can't even see Cao Cao's face, and he's still a fart?

On the fourth day after the outer city was breached, the inner city of Shengjing was also breached.

100,000 wolf-like warriors of the Ming army swarmed in, and the number of Ming soldiers was more than the number of people in the inner city, which was simply overwhelming.

The civilians in the city were red-eyed when they saw the killing of the Ming army, and they also picked up firewood knives, hunting knives and hunting bows to resist.

The Manchu people generally have the living customs of fishing, hunting, and picking, so the common tools at home will not be farming tools, but hunting tools, and when the civilian resistance is mobilized to participate in the war, the combat effectiveness is indeed stronger than that of the Han civilians in the Central Plains.

Han civilians were forced to resist, and most of them had to take hoes. They were able to fight the cuirassiers with hunting bows.

Seeing this, the Ming army also replaced them with shotguns, because the Manchurian temporary resistors on the opposite side all had no armor, and it was too wasteful to use single-headed bullets with low hit rate and huge lethality, it was better to use shotguns, the number of projectiles could be increased tenfold, but they gave up the ability to break armor, and it was just right to kill unarmored soldiers.

Some officers in the army who have followed Zhu Shuren for more than ten years couldn't help but lose their minds when they saw the scene in front of them, and recalled the past - only when Zhu Shuren had just led the troops, he would use all shotguns to bully the other party without armor when dealing with the fish belly troops of the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo. Later, in the face of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, after the enemy's old battalion came up with armor, the shotgun was restricted.

Unexpectedly, after more than ten years of fighting, the final battle returned to its roots, and the Manchurians who temporarily took up arms were also unarmored.

But no matter whether there is armor or not, whether it is male or female, old or young, as long as you take up arms, you are the enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

After two days of tragic street fighting, most of the tens of thousands of people in the inner city of Shengjing were killed.

Li Dingguo personally led his troops into the Chongzheng Palace, sealed the puppet palace, killed all the eunuchs, and then captured Shunzhi and his party.

Several places in the Chongzheng Hall were full of firewood and grass, it seemed that Shunzhi had the idea of setting fire to himself before breaking the city, but in the end he was afraid of death and did not dare to start, until Li Dingguo killed in front of him, he still personally pinched a torch and stood in the pyre.

Li Dingguo took the sword, let the soldiers surround him, shouted to the other party to abandon the weapon, and said that as long as he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he could spare him from dying, and he could also let his concubines and children not die, if he dared to commit suicide, then even his wife and children and other relatives would be killed.

Shunzhi thought that if it fell into the hands of the Ming army, he would die a hundred times worse than burning.

Now I heard that he could not die, a sixteen-year-old young man, he had no backbone, let alone blood, and he was captured after a hesitation.

After all this, Li Dingguo was relieved, and let the treasures of the Chongzheng Palace be sealed, and when the time came, they had to be transported back to Beijing and handed over to the prince of E.

In contrast, Wu Sangui's errand is worse than Li Dingguo's, but it is more affordable.

The main reason is that Wu Sangui has let the Qing soldiers enter the customs after all, and this stain will always exist, so the final assault on Sheng Jing may not allow him to enter the palace and capture the puppet emperor. Before the battle, Zhu Shuren had ordered moderation, and Wu Sangui knew it in his heart.

Therefore, after Wu Sangui entered the inner city, he just went to the Ten Kings Pavilion and other places, slaughtered the Manchu princes, the county kings themselves and the family scrolls who remained in Shengjing, and looted all the treasures of the Ten Kings Pavilion.

This part of the stuff can be taken a little bit of the labor army, or you can share some privately, but the big head still has to be taken out, and the upper and lower ones are a little filial piety, and they can't be swallowed alone.

Because this battle is a battle that must be won, give you the opportunity to fight, and assign it to the fat difference, which is the trust of the leadership, and you need to repay the favor.

Zhu Shuren asked the henchman who sent the military order to bring him a password, which was not a text, to the effect that Wu Sangui must kill before Shunzhi surrendered, so that even if "the other party led troops to resist and was killed during the war", he was killed in battle, not after surrendering.

It's not that Da Ming doesn't want to give these sinners a fair trial, a canonical punishment, a sentence of Ling Chi or a beheading or something, and calm the anger of the people in the world.

However, since he still wants to use the signboard of Shunzhi to fight against Haoge who fled to the Songnen Plain and other places to fight guerrillas, he will try to solve the problem of trial and surrender first, and kill on the battlefield, then no one has anything to say.

Wu Sangui knew very well the strategy explained by the prince of E, and also knew that it would be difficult for these people to survive until the battle subsided, so he was happy to do this kind of work, anyway, he could grab a handful by the way, and these gold, silver and jewelry were all regarded as labor expenses.

Two Manchu princes, three or four county kings, and a bunch of family members of the prince who was not in Shengjing, were all packed and fell under Wu Sangui's butcher's knife.

If Shunzhi asked afterwards, it was Wu Sangui who killed him on the battlefield, and the Ming Dynasty treated the prisoners preferentially, so he could surrender with confidence.

——

ps: It's finally written to break through Shengjing, and the Manchu Qing is almost finished, so let's leave it at that.

Take a day off tomorrow. Need to entertain several relatives -

These old 6 are also well-behaved, knowing that Hangzhou is very congested on May Day, they actually chose the root unit to apply for May Day duty not to join in the fun, and then staggered the holiday with the mainstream holiday crowd, and came to Hangzhou after May Day......

In addition, some book friends have been asking about the new book recently, and I can only say that the new book is currently set to go back to write the Three Kingdoms, but the specific outline and beginning have not yet been reviewed, and I will submit it for review this week and then take a look (last month, I submitted several outlines and beginnings of other era backgrounds, but they were all rejected.) ）

I hope you understand,The main thing I signed with the website is a long-term contract with a basic recommendation position (some gods have a guaranteed long contract.,My one doesn't contain a guarantee.,There's no money if you write poor.。 The meaning of my long-term contract is just to ensure that the small recommended spots below three rivers in the new book period can be on so three or four rounds. The treatment is about worse than the guaranteed length, and the restrictions are less than the guaranteed length, but you still have to obey the command of the website.

If it's a temporary contract signed by a book.,It's only guaranteed to be a test of the water.,The follow-up has to look at the number of followers.,And other books in the same period PK.,If the number of people chasing is small.,It's possible that last week's "popular serial/classified new book" push will be killed forever.,There is no day to turn over and be exposed)

Because after I signed a long-term contract, I wrote two books, but I didn't make it into the high-quality work, and I also got involved with the editor who recommended me to sign a long-term contract, so I have to listen to the command now. (When I first finished writing Fooling Liu Bei, I had a lot of right to speak, mainly to fool Liu Bei's masterpieces, so the next book can be freely selected)

Therefore, I sincerely apologize to those readers who leave messages asking me to write about unpopular dynasties: those who have been around for a long time need to prove that they still have the value of being used by the website before they are qualified to choose unpopular things on their own. If a person like me wants to write about an unpopular dynasty, he must first prove himself, otherwise I can only go back to the most stable old road.

Being a person cannot affect others, and cannot affect the guarantor.
