Chapter 106 The Ming army attacked Shengjing, and Shunzhi wanted to move the capital
After the war, the Qing army confronted Geldan for more than ten days, and the news that Shengjing was besieged by the Ming army came, and Dai Shan immediately ordered the army to return east immediately to relieve the danger of Shengjing.
How do you know that in Wanquan and the north of Beigukou, the Ming army was blocked by firearms, and after hard killing, it lost another 50,000 or 60,000 people, plus the 210,000 horses lost in a previous battle with Geerdan, this time the Qing army was extremely wounded.
Li Dingguo, who led 150,000 horses to attack Shengjing, did not attack the city, but concentrated more than 30 rocket artillery pieces and bombarded Shengjing for several days.
Although the Qing army still had 70,000 or 80,000 horses in Shengjing, Li Dingguo relied on the advantage of firearms to make them dare not engage in battle, and he already had six armored vehicles in his hands, and he killed a few people in and out of the Qing army's formation, treating the Qing army as if it were nothing.
Although the soldiers of the Qing army are good at arching and horses, they are powerless in the face of this steel giant.
After two more days of wreak havoc under Shengjing City, before the return of the Daishan army, Li Dingguo withdrew to Guangningwei.
Dai Shan led the army to follow the Ming army to kill, wanting to take revenge on the Ming army, but Li Dingguo relied on the advantage of weapons and fortified the city, killing the Qing army without temper, and finally Shunzhi's order was issued, and Dai Shancai reluctantly led the troops back to Shengjing.
At this time, Shengjing was full of devastation, Li Dingguo's seven days of indiscriminate bombing, Sanshengjing lost more than 50% of the buildings, and even the imperial palace had 30% of the buildings destroyed.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are all incompetent, and the capital was almost destroyed, which frightened the emperor and the queen mother."
"It's none of your business, it's really the weapons of the Ming army are too powerful, especially the monster covered in iron armor and spitting black smoke, it is almost invulnerable, even if our artillery hits it, it just leaves a black mark, we must find ways to figure out the mechanism of that thing, and before that, strictly order the border generals not to provoke disputes with the Ming army."
"Wow!"
"In addition, Shengjing is too close to the Ming army, and the Ming army can almost arrive at dawn and evening, so I plan to move the capital after a while."
"Your Majesty, the capital is the place of a country's luck, how can it be said that it is easy to move, and moving the capital is also a large expense, and it is not easy for us to achieve it at present."
"You can rest assured about this, I have thought about it, we refer to the old affairs of the Ming army, set up two capitals, I and the main departments moved north, and the other institutions took their time, and it took two to three years to complete all the relocation of the capital, and before that, we sent a prince and nobles to stay in Shengjing, so that we could be horns for each other."
Seeing that the emperor's intention to move the capital was very firm, Dai Shan sighed and said, "Does the Queen Mother know about this matter?"
"I have persuaded the Queen Mother, so I am waiting for you to come back, and I will go with the four ministers of Sony, Aobai, Kubilong, and Suke Saha to choose the address of the new capital."
Dai Shan nodded helplessly.
This time our army and Geldan war Sony has already told you, hard work, although we have suffered heavy losses, but Geerdan is not far behind, in the future we will have to strictly guard against the Ming army, and now the Ming army is the strongest. Qilharang's sacrifice is very heroic, I am going to give him a knighthood and be buried with the ceremony of the prince of the county, what do you think? ”
"The emperor's arrangement is very proper, the minister has no opinion, it's just about moving the capital, I don't know if the emperor and the queen mother have a favorite?"
"Well, there is one, that is, Harbin, which is known as the ice city, which is not close to Tsarist Russia or the Ming Dynasty, it is our hinterland, and it is rich in vegetation, abundant water and grass, it is an ideal pasture, and it can also accommodate a large number of people."
Dai Shan nodded.
Shunzhi continued: "Of course, this is the initial idea of me and the Queen Mother, and we still need to discuss it with the ministers before finalizing it."
"Wow!"
"Okay, you go back and rest, take care of your health, I have already explained the relief and reconstruction of the refugees in the city to Kupilon, you can rest at home for two more days, and when everything is stable, I hope you and the ministers can come up with preliminary opinions."
Dai Shan nodded, gave a salute, and left the palace hobbling, looking a lot older all of a sudden.
Dai Shan walked on the street, looking at the dilapidated scene on both sides of the street, sad from his heart, at this time he was a little suspicious of whether it was right or wrong to support Shunzhi at first, if he didn't help Shunzhi in the first place, Haoge and Dolgon would not have died, the two of them were also rare generals in the army, and they didn't want to die on the battlefield, but they died on internal friction, which is a pity.
After Shunzhi came to power, although he has always been at fault, it is a fact that the national strength is weakening day by day, although the responsibility is not all in him, but he has an unshirkable responsibility for causing this situation.
"Woo! - Whew! - Son! - You're dead, how can I live? An old woman's wail interrupted Dai Shan's thoughts, and he stopped to look at the old woman, but did not come forward to comfort her, because the streets were full of such situations, how could he be comforted, and besides, he did not know what the situation was at home. From the fact that only the butler came to pick him up when he returned to the city, he knew that the family was afraid that the situation was not much better.
"Alas! ——" With a light sigh, Dai Shan gently pinched the belly of the war horse under his crotch, and the tired war horse carried him slowly towards the palace.
