Chapter 155: The Armies Attack Beijing
A.D. 1945.
Autumn.
The eighth day of the ninth month.
this day.
The Manchu side, the Prince of Yu Duoduo, and the Prince of Su Haoge, with the 120,000 soldiers and horses of the Manchu Dynasty, invaded the Central Plains.
In a few days, we arrived at Shanhaiguan.
Most of the military forts outside the pass were in the hands of Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui discovered the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry and did not make a sound at all. Instead, a banquet was prepared, and the Manchu army was waiting there.
Duoduo, Prince Yu, easily went up to the head of Shanhaiguan City, caressing the wall of Xiongguan that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had not beaten down for a long time: "This pass is indeed where the natural danger lies, and it is extremely difficult to break it." β
"General Wu Bing, it is reported that you and He Xuan do not agree, so you will raise troops against He Xuan, Qingjun's side. Today, I am waiting for so many road troops, and I will definitely be able to kill He Xuan's head. However, after all, General Wu committed the taboo of the Central Plains Dynasty by raising troops on the side of the Qing Dynasty, so how about investing in our Manchu Dynasty later? We are quite welcome to such a talent as General Wu Bing. β
Wu Sangui and the Manchu Qing have always hooked up, and even exchanged letters.
However, he never replied in the affirmative.
Now, naturally, I won't give a positive reply either.
"Let's wait until I kill He Xuan, the big demon king, first. β
"It's okay, then let's kill He Xuan, the big demon king, first. "Duoduo stands on the wall of Shanhaiguan, and there is a pride of his own, and this time, he will definitely set the Central Plains.
On September 15, the 120,000 troops of the Manchu Qing Dynasty passed through the Shanhai Pass, and at this time they were discovered by other non-Wu military forts of the Ming army, and immediately sent wolf smoke to notify the other departments.
And Wu Sangui also led 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack Beijing directly.
On September 18, Zuo Liangyu heard the news that both the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Wu Sangui had launched a campaign, and he also brazenly launched an army of 50,000 under his command to directly attack the city of Beijing.
That is, Li Zicheng in the northwest did not launch.
At this moment, it became the 120,000 army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Wu Sangui's army of 50,000.
Zuo Liangyu's army of 50,000.
A total of 220,000 troops rushed to Beijing.
In the Battle of Songshan that year, the Ming army was only 120,000 troops of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was already known as the world's largest war and decided the battle between the Ming and Qing countries.
And now, there are 220,000 troops attacking the Ming Kingdom, which is much more than the army invested in the Battle of Songshan, which can be described as the largest battle in the world.
The banner of the Manchu Qing was: "Kill He Xuan and avenge the emperor." β
Wu Sangui's banner was: "Kill He Xuan and avenge his father." β
Zuo Liangyu's banner was: "Kill He Xuan and avenge my brother." β
The 220,000 troops, soldiers, and slogans all point to He Xuan alone.
The world is shaking!
Since ancient times, in all dynasties, nothing like this has ever happened.
There was not a single person in the cities along the way who stood in the way.
Such a soldier is invincible in the world.
Whoever dares to stop is looking for death.
......
Beijing.
Inside, it's been a mess.
He Xuan himself is quite calm.
I was sitting at home, eating dinner leisurely.
As a result, I heard someone say that Wang Chengen and Wang Governor were here.
Wang Chengen is the big boss of the inner prison and the most trusted person of Emperor Chongzhen, as soon as he saw He Xuan, he immediately said: "God will follow our family, Your Majesty is already anxious." Just wait for the gods to enter the palace. β
"Is Your Majesty in a hurry?" He Xuan smiled: "Okay, I'll follow you into the palace." β
When I entered the palace, I soon saw Emperor Chongzhen, who was so anxious that the fire was burning.
Emperor Chongzhen asked: "Now the Manchu Qing Dynasty has 120,000 troops, Wu Sangui has 50,000 troops, Zuo Liangyu has 50,000 troops, a total of more than 200,000 troops, and they are directly attacking the capital. β
He Xuan did not rush to answer Emperor Chongzhen's question, but asked: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty actually only has more than a million people, 120,000 soldiers and horses. The Ming Dynasty has a population of tens of millions and millions of soldiers. Why can't the Ming Dynasty defeat the Manchus?"
Emperor Chongzhen muttered with his hands in his hands: "But my Ming man is not as brave as the Manchu Dynasty." β
"How is it possible, when the Qi family army was still there, it was not under the command of Qi Jiguang and Qi Marshal, but only under the command of Qi Dashuai's nephew, it could face five or six times the Manchu army, and in terms of individual combat effectiveness and field combat ability, it completely destroyed the Manchu army. β
"If that's not the reason, then there's only one reason. Emperor Chongzhen said: "Rotten bureaucratic system. β
"Yes. He Xuan said: "If the bureaucratic system is not corrupt, with the Ming Dynasty's tens of millions of people and millions of soldiers and horses, how can it not defeat a mere Manchu Qing." From beginning to end, it is not that the Manchu Qing are too strong, but that our Ming is too weak. And the bureaucratic system will give the Ming Dynasty a weak soldier and a huge pot on its back. β
"At the beginning of every dynasty, the bureaucracy was under control and still under control. β
By the end of the dynasty, the bureaucracy had swelled too much and took up too many resources. The bureaucratic class itself, which does not produce, accounts for the largest part of the profits, and what is even more frightening is that they are still expanding frantically to capture more of it. So at the end of the dynasty, the army did not get its due share and had no combat effectiveness. β
The peasants did not get their fair share, could not eat enough, could not survive, and were eventually forced to rebel. β
"At this time, the Ming thought that defeating the Manchu Qing would solve the problem. β
"Hehe, naΓ―ve. β
"Only a complete purge of the bureaucracy can sustain the dynasty's life. β
"However, from ancient times to the present, at the end of the dynasty, no one has ever been able to achieve a great purge, only when the dynasty is broken, a new dynasty is established, and through countless wars, can there be a great purge of the bureaucracy. β
"Except for me. I have endless strength and a ruthless heart. I can do a great purge of the bureaucracy. β
"I told these bureaucrats to pay fines and ignite their anger. β
"Then, I'm going to kill some bureaucrats who have done countless evil things. The bureaucracy of this era has no limits and will do all kinds of unimaginable evils. In doing so, I am putting the bureaucracy in the opposite position. β
"In this way, these bureaucrats are prone to doing radical things. For example, to lead the Manchu Qing into the customs. β
"Now, that's the case. β
"As long as I defeat the Manchus, Wu Sangui, and Zuo Liangyu's joint hands, I can get evidence from them and carry out a purge of officials. β
In this way, the Ming Dynasty, which is already about to come to an end, can radiate a new opportunity. β
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was directly stunned.
He really didn't expect that He Xuan had such a deep meaning in it step by step: "However, now it is the 120,000 male soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui's 50,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry, Zuo Liangyu's 50,000 Huguang Soldiers, a total of 220,000 soldiers and horses are inside, this is the strongest soldiers and horses in the world." There are only 50,000 guards in the capital, can they hold it?"
"I told Changping before that I am invincible in the world. What about their 220,000 men, just waiting for me to defeat them. He Xuan said with a sneer.
Emperor Chongzhen saw He Xuan's self-confidence, and couldn't help but be stunned: "I heard Changping say, you said that you are invincible in the world, so how are you invincible in the world?"
"You can't say anything about it. When the 220,000 soldiers really come, Your Majesty will understand. He Xuan laughed.
The corners of Emperor Chongzhen's mouth couldn't help twitching.
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured. The Manchu Qing, Wu Sangui, and Zuo Liangyu attacked together, and they were falling into my arms. I originally thought that there would be Li Zicheng to play mahjong, but now it seems that Li Zicheng did not participate. He Xuan said confidently: "If you say that the world is invincible, you are invincible in the world." β
