Chapter 455: The Heavens Return to the Yuan II

The smoke dissipated, and in the early hours of the morning, the direction of Dongzhimen was full of people, dogs and horses were staggered, and Huang Taiji and a group of Eight Banner nobles were in the column, and their eyes were full of reluctance.

"Has Hauge returned?"

"Your Majesty, King Su's men and horses will leave after the hour, and now the hour should be on the way back."

"How's going on Dorgon?"

"No news yet."

Huang Taiji looked at the sky and waved his hand: "Let's go..."

The people of the Eight Banners, together with the Manchurian and Mongolian families, the number is not less than 500,000, this is just a simple family member, the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry and the Han Eight Banners have a combined military strength of 150,000 people, which is huge.

Since the early hours of the morning, it is impossible for such a huge noise not to attract the attention of the Ming army, but what puzzles those Eight Banners is that there are tens of thousands of Ming troops waiting in formation less than ten miles not far from Dongzhimen, but these Ming troops are like a farewell team, and they do not take any action at all.

When Chen Cao received the news, he got up from the arms of the two women, and after getting dressed, he and the generals were also watching not far away, standing for nearly half an hour, and then said: "It seems that there are still smart people on the side of Huang Taiji, who is coming?" ”

Zhao Xin said: "Ning finished me and Fan Wencheng." ”

"Both of them were born in the Han people of Liaodong, and they took refuge in Jianzhou Tartar in their early years, and now they heard that they were relied on by Huang Taiji as their right-hand man."

After listening to this, Chen Cao said: "This move, it is estimated that we will be able to complete it before noon tomorrow, and we will be able to enter Beijing without blood;

Renxin, you led the staff headquarters and the Yang Lian brothers to take over the capital tomorrow to stabilize law and order, and I will personally go to Shanhaiguan to solve the old grudge between my Ming Dynasty and Jianzhou. ”

"Your Majesty," came on a fast horse, "to report to Your Majesty, there is news in the city, that the leader of the army that engaged the Shence Army in the west of the city is called Dorgon, and his brother Dordor. ”

"It turned out to be these two brothers, it's a bit interesting, Zhao Xin, take Dai Shan, try to persuade these two people, as well as the people under their command."

"Yes..."

By the time dawn, Huang Taiji's forward horse team had already passed Jizhou, and Huang Taiji pulled the reins of the war horse under the support of a group of Eight Banner nobles: "Where is this?" ”

"Your Majesty, there are fifty miles to reach the territory of Xingzhou Zuotunwei."

Ning Wan rode my horse to Huang Taiji's side and said: "Your Majesty, it is not a problem for the current team of people to arrive in Fengrun County before noon, but the family members of the Eight Banners of the rear team have just arrived in Jizhou now, and there are still many baggage on the way to Jizhou." ”

"Hauge..."

"Father..."

Huang Taiji looked at Haoge and said: "Our Eight Banners disciples must not give up their families, otherwise we will lose the opportunity to make a comeback, and the yellow flag will be divided into 20,000 people, you will quickly return to Jizhou and take your family north to Malanyu Pass and return to the outside of the pass, Mr. Fan..."

Fan Wencheng arched his hand, and Huang Taiji said: "You follow the action of King Su, Haoge, but if you ask on the road, you will ask Mr. Fan." ”

"Commanded..."

Huang Taiji looked back at the endless horse team behind him again and said, "Let's go..."

...

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

After three long live calls, Chen Cao entered Beijing City from Dongzhimen, where he had escaped from Jiannu under the support of elite soldiers and strong generals, and thought that the most recent time in Beijing City was still the seventh year of the Apocalypse, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

At this moment, Chen Cao didn't care about showing off his might in Beijing at all, and the pursuit of Jiannu according to the advance plan was the key, so after leaving Li Yan in a stable place in Beijing according to the plan, he began to march north with his troops.

Aside from the fact that Dorgon and the Dodor brothers were not completely persuaded to surrender, the fighting around Beijing was not over.

"If You Shiwei's men arrive, tell him to go to Shanhaiguan immediately to intercept the Jiannu Tartars, no matter what he does..."

...

Shanhaiguan, the world's first Xiongguan, since Chongzhen hanged himself, the general soldier Zhao Shujiao and the general soldier Zuo Fu of the Daling Striker guarded the pass at the same time, but in the end it was captured by the Tartars, the general soldier Zhao Shujiao committed suicide, and the general soldier Zuo Fu was seriously injured and captured, in order to coerce the guards to surrender.

Since Zuo Fu recovered from his injuries, he has been imprisoned in the prison of Guannai.

The geographical location of Shanhaiguan is dangerous, and after Huang Taiji is in his hands, he ordered his nephew Nikan to guard Shanhaiguan, and configured a group of nobles of the Eight Banners.

Nikan was combing through the palace reports of the Beijing division in the past few days, and deeply felt the crisis of Manchuria's existence and status in the Central Plains in the defeat of the Ming army.

"Master, the big thing is not good, there are a large number of defeated soldiers outside the gate, all of whom fled from Shengjing."

Nikan was shocked, and hurriedly got up and followed Goshha to Beiguan City, and the moment he stood at the head of the city, he saw a steady stream of defeated soldiers coming from the direction of Liaodong.

"Beizi, the situation is unknown, I don't dare to let these people into the city."

Ilden, who had received the news earlier, saw this situation and strictly ordered that no soldier should be put in until the situation was clarified.

Nikan frowned: "Open the door, let some people enter the city and ask for details..."

After a short time, two generals dressed as Niu Lu with white flags were brought to the head of the city, and knelt in front of Nikan, and one of the generals kowtowed in Manchu and cried out: "My lord, disaster is wrong, disaster is wrong, Shengjing is lost..."

A Goshha slapped the Niu Lu and scolded: "In front of you is the Shanhaiguan General Bei Zi Nikan in person, what nonsense are you talking about?" How could Sheng Jing be lost? ”

Ilden spoke to the other Niu Lu and asked, "You say, where are General Sheng Jing and Shuotu now?" ”

"Ahh

Another Niu Lu cried: "Beizi, the Ming army landed from Lushun, swept along the way to our various strongholds, and when the news reached Shengjing, the forward troops of the Ming army had arrived twenty miles away from Shengjing, the forward of the Ming army was not the Ming people, one by one said what we didn't understand, those people were short in stature, but they fought harder than us, and General Shuotu heard the news with three thousand Shengjing cavalry left behind to go out of the city to meet the enemy, and the distant cavalry was suppressed by the Ming army's firearms, and after those foot soldiers rushed up, it was a one-sided massacre...”

This general is talking about the Yingzhou Army that has been requisitioned, and the deputy commander is Hirata Zhaoyi, whose Han name is Zhao Jiadi, and their military political commissar is also the actual commander, who is the imperial history of the year.

The Manchurian cavalry, which has always boasted of being the first in cavalry warfare, was suppressed by muskets, and the Yingzhou army rushed up to be a fierce blow and kill, that is, when Zhejiang resisted the Japanese, it was necessary for ten people to form a mandarin duck formation to kill the enemy, but the Manchurians with the same short stature were not the opponents of the Japanese people.

Only after the first round, it was pressed and beaten by the Yingzhou army, General Shengjing and Shuotu were killed on the spot, and the two group armies under the joint command of Weng Linzhi and Cao Bianjiao took only two days to defeat Shengjing, and then changed its name to Guangning City again.

According to Chen Cao's request that year, Liu Xingzuo, who assisted in the landing, continued to go deep into Shenyang with only one division of his headquarters, and his purpose was to go to Hetuala to dig Nurhachi's ancestral grave as arranged by Chen Cao that year.

Of course, these Huang Taiji, who were thousands of miles away, didn't know.

Then it was a one-sided battle, after the Qing army entered the customs, in addition to Shengjing and Shenyang each left a battalion of 3,000 men and horses, in the past, the Ming army owned each town, fort, the maximum number of people was only 100 people, the few were only 10 people, some big cities did not even have an army stationed, only relied on the surrender of the Han army flag to assist in management.

So much so that when the Yingzhou army was like a bamboo, the entire Liaodong did not even go to Shanhaiguan to report the news.

After listening to the speech, Nikan was shocked, since Manchuria entered the customs, he really had not experienced a major war, and when he plundered in Shandong, he also fought a good battle, without the slightest resistance.

Seeing the silent Nikan, Yilden arched his hand and said: "Beizi, the Qiantun guard of Guangning is only fifty miles away from Shanhaiguan, if the Ming army comes at the earliest, it will be tonight at the earliest, and the depth defense of the wall is enough, so that we have enough time to pass the news to the Beijing division before evening, Shanhaiguan will hold on for more than a month, and it will be more than enough for reinforcements to arrive." ”

Nikan nodded for a long time, and then said: "It makes sense, immediately collect the defeated troops, send a messenger to the Beijing division to ask for help, Yilden, you take the Han army flag and the green battalion soldiers to the city to assist in the defense, the left wing battalion divided two teams of men to go to the city immediately, and the sentinel horse team immediately went out to investigate the reality of the Ming army, and acted..."

"Tsk..."

...

"Where is this?"

"Your Majesty, not far ahead is Funingwei, and there are still sixty miles away from Shanhaiguan."

"The whole army speeded up the horses and tried to enter the customs before dark."

"Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, there is a messenger arriving at Shanhaiguan."

The dusty helpers met the horse team of the forward battalion in the middle of the road, and thought that the people who were far away in Beijing had already known the news of the arrival of the Ming army outside the pass, so after seeing Huang Taiji, they dismounted and asked for peace: "Long live my emperor, Your Majesty knows the news?" So the royal car is here? ”

Huang Taiji didn't know what to do, Ning Wan I heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly scolded and asked: "Bold, Your Majesty has just evacuated from the capital division, what is the news?" ”

The herald raised his head and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, the soldiers who have retreated from the defeat of Shengjing have come one after another outside the pass around Chenshi, the Ming army landed from Lushun and captured Shengjing, Shengjing stayed behind and Shuotu died in battle, according to the report of the defeated soldiers, the forward troops of the Ming army have arrived at the Qiantunwei of Guangning, less than sixty miles away from Shanhaiguan. ”

Huang Taiji stared at Ning Wan for a while, and suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, and as soon as it was dark in front of him, he fell off the horse.

Ning Wan I hurriedly ordered the Goshha Guards to protect Huang Taiji to enter the city first, and then commanded the follow-up generals to go to the Great Wall Pass such as Jielingkou respectively, preparing to protect the place of exit in many ways, so as not to be dumplings by the Ming army, and at this moment, Ning Wan I looked at the troops who began to be a little flustered, and I felt lonely for a while, and I carefully planned the three-way back road, which was all broken by the Ming army at this moment.
