1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 574 Make a fortune!
On September 1646, 9, when the first rays of light shone on Shengjing City in the morning, the chaotic scene of last night did not stop.

The many Baoyi and Han slaves who were used as slaves in the past have become potential threats in the eyes of all the bannermen. Perhaps when the Ming army invaded Shengjing City, these once humble and flattering slaves would become In the back of my banner man, I stabbed a knife fiercely.

Therefore, from some unknown place in the city, some bannerman masters began to frantically kill those who were considered unreliable Baoyi and Hannu, causing the chaos in the city to become even more uncontrollable.

Xihan, the commander of the Eight Banners Army in Shengjing City, was stunned at first after receiving these chaotic news, then he sighed, closed his eyes, and sat quietly on his horse, waiting for the Ming army to enter the city.

Almost all the banner men, old, weak and strong women were armed. Under the organization of more than [-] Eight Banners armored soldiers, they were ready to hold the barricades in the city and fight to the death with the Ming army who was about to enter the city.

"Shenyang is the former capital of Jianshou, and there are many dignitaries in the Eight Banners, so the resistance in the city will intensify." Outside the city, in the camp of the Ming and Qi allied forces, Niu Hu and many leading troops are arranging matters for entering the city. Those who guard the strongholds of slaves do not need to spend the lives of soldiers to attack them one by one. At that time, our Qi grenadiers will either throw bombs to eliminate them, or set fire to them to destroy the enemy. In short, in Shenyang City, all ministries must use all This kind of thunderous method must wipe out all the resistance of the slaves in the shortest possible time."

"Do you want to accept the surrender?" a lieutenant general in Denglai Town asked aloud.

"Will Jiannu...will surrender?" Niu Hu asked contemptuously.

Li Ben next to him heard the words deeply and immediately understood.These generals of the Qi State were decisive in killing and attacking all the way, and they rarely made big mistakes, and when it was time to be fierce, they did not hesitate to kill them.Now that they want to capture Shenyang City, the coalition forces will inevitably encounter fierce resistance from the soldiers and civilians of the Eight Banners in the city.Then only use more violent means to attack Jiannu's will to resist.

As everyone knows, the staff system implemented by the army of Qi State a few years ago, from the moment the army formulated its combat strategy, relevant intelligence staff and combat staff participated in it. Based on the obtained enemy intelligence, several sets of corresponding combat plans were formulated. The chief combat officer chooses the combat strategy that best suits the battlefield situation.As a result, not only the combat efficiency of Qi's army was greatly improved, but also to a certain extent, it was possible to prevent the chief combat officer from making huge mistakes, which would lead to blind command.

After the coalition forces invaded the city of Shenyang, they were met with fierce counterattacks from the soldiers and civilians of the Eight Banners.Jiannu hid on roofs, in houses, and on street corners, and kept firing cold arrows at the coalition soldiers.Although the coalition soldiers who entered the city first were all wearing heavy armor, they still suffered heavy casualties under Jiannu's precise bow and arrow shooting.

Before it was too late, the coalition soldiers became angry and set fire to the city, trying to force out all the slaves who were hiding in the houses.All of a sudden, fires broke out everywhere in Shenyang City, and thick smoke billowed like a doomsday scene.

The coalition forces gathered sword soldiers, spearmen, and musketeers together, shot long-range muskets, and stabbed with knives and spears at close range, killing countless Jiannu.By evening, the coalition forces had gradually controlled nearly half of Shenyang City, and approached the palace where the former slave chiefs lived.In addition, Jiannu died in the fire in the city and was attacked and killed by Hannu.

At night, some Jiannu who were unwilling to die avoided the city gate and the area where the Ming and Qi allied forces were stationed, sneaked into the vicinity of the city wall, hung them outside the city with ropes, and escaped from Shenyang City.However, only a few lucky ones escaped a blockade line arranged by the coalition forces, and fled to the four fields under the cover of night.

At dawn the next day, the momentum of Jianshou resistance in Shenyang City was somewhat weaker than yesterday, but the remaining soldiers of the Eight Banners retreated into the palace, trying to resist stubbornly with the help of the thick palace walls.

The coalition forces directly pushed the artillery from outside the city to the front of the palace, and only four rounds of shelling broke the gate of the palace. Under the cover of the firearms of the Qi Marine Corps, the Ming army swarmed into the palace and slaughtered the last recalcitrant Eight Banners armored soldiers.

The leading generals of the Ming army rushed into the harem excitedly, but saw that many concubines, young elder brothers, and Gege of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji had all committed suicide or were hanged in the palace. .

The resistance in Shenyang City gradually subsided, and then, a large-scale organized looting activity began.Although, in order to break down Jiannu's resistance, the coalition forces almost set fire to half of Shenyang City.However, in the ensuing search process, the coalition forces still reaped a huge harvest.

In just three days, more than 6000 taels of gold, more than 260 million taels of silver, thousands of pieces of precious furs, more than [-] bolts of silk and cotton cloth, and countless other antiques, jade, and precious calligraphy and paintings were seized and confiscated.

As for food, fur, copper, iron, lead and other materials, there are also huge quantities.You must know that in order to evacuate Shenyang as soon as possible, the Ming army carried out the looting activities in a very rough manner. They only broke open the palace and the residences of the Eight Banners princes and nobles in the city, and picked up a large amount of goods.As for the houses of ordinary Eight Banners generals and bannermen in the city, there is no time to take care of them at all.

Looking at the countless gold and silver materials piled up in the former Eight Banners barracks in Shenyang City, the coalition army felt an unprecedented excitement and satisfaction.But then he faced a happy trouble, how to safely withdraw these huge amounts of gold and silver materials to the seaside of Gaizhou, which is more than [-] miles away.

In other words, although the seizures in Liaoyang, Anshan, Haizhou and other places have not yet been counted, there are quite a lot of them.I don't know whether the Zheng family's fleet can reach the beach in time to meet the retreat of the coalition forces.

In order to transport the property away, the coalition forces confiscated thousands of Han slaves and all the mules and horses in the city, loaded all the obtained materials into the vehicles, and began to prepare to evacuate Shenyang.

Forts, city walls, treasuries, granaries, imperial palaces, government halls, and even high-ranking households were all damaged to varying degrees by the coalition forces when they evacuated. .

The convoy transporting supplies stretched for more than ten miles. Whether it was the soldiers of the coalition army or the former Han slaves who drove the carts, they were all in high spirits, and they never felt so happy in their hearts.The officials took the lead in plundering the capital city of Jianshou, but each soldier and rescued Han slaves also hid some gold, silver and small valuables in their backpacks or under their waists and abdomens.If they can return to Denglai safely, everyone can at least become a wealthy family.

Get rich!Everyone touched their swollen bags from time to time, their faces were full of joy, and they kept repeating in their hearts.

"The officers and soldiers of Denglai Town brought all the corpses of the slave chiefs, concubines and children with them." Li Fade said with disgust: "Even those generals who died in the battle were beheaded by them. Isn't it a mess to go back all the way?" It stinks!"

"They probably want to bring these testimonies to their emperor in order to claim credit and receive a reward." Niu Hu shook his head and said, "Perhaps, the Yongchu court will make some fuss about these corpses and human heads. Think about it, now in Daming In the territory, whether it is the Ming army in Jiangnan and Huguang, or the Shun army and Xi army in Chongqing and Jingzhou, they have little success in the face of Jiannu. But at this time, the Yongchu court in Denglai was able to defeat Liaodong and capture Its former capital captured slave chieftains, concubines and many elder brothers and princesses. How exciting this is!... More importantly, they also established the prestige of the Yongchu court in the Ming Dynasty."

"The Jiannu in Beijing heard that Liaodong was attacked and Shenyang was occupied. How would they react?"

"Maybe he will go crazy." Niu Hu said: "Maybe, Jian Nu will readjust his attack target and gather a large army to attack Denglai."

"Hehe..., then we have stabbed a hornet's nest." Li Fade said with a smile: "If an army of 10,000+ slaves comes over, can we help the Yongchu court defend Denglai?"

"It is estimated that the areas west of Ye County, Laiyang, and Rushan will all be abandoned or lost. With the advantage of our Qi State Navy, we should be able to barely hold the important places along the coast of Denglai." Niu Hu pondered for a moment, and said: "If Jiannu really comes 10,000+ The army can only fight quickly. Otherwise, how can Shandong and Denglai support the food and grass supply of such a large army? Therefore, we only need to delay for a few months and form a stalemate with Jiannu, and they will inevitably withdraw. So, more or less It can give the other forces of Ming Dynasty a little time to breathe a sigh of relief."

----------

September 9th, Beijing.

Satisfied, Dorgon sat on the imperial steps, listened to the reports of officials from various ministries one by one, and issued the latest edicts from time to time, and gradually conveyed them to every corner of the new dynasty through the ministers of various ministries.

In the southwest region, Wu Sangui continued to urge the rear for payment and food, but he did not make a decisive breakthrough in the progress of the Great Western Army's war.Officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs suggested that Wu Sangui be asked to raise the salary on the spot, so as to avoid the time-consuming and labor-intensive transfer from Hanzhong and Shaanxi.

But Dorgon vetoed it, saying that although Wu Sangui had not won a decisive victory against the Daxi Army in Chongqing for the time being, considering the local terrain and environment, it was really not easy.In addition, Sichuan is dilapidated, if Wu Sangui is to be asked to raise wages on the spot, it may arouse local resistance, which will not help Wu Sangui to concentrate on dealing with Chongqing.Immediately, he instructed He Luo, who stayed in Shaanxi, to fully meet Wu Sangui's food and salary requirements.

Boluo from the Jiangxi-Fujian area reported that Zheng Zhilong from Fujian was still hesitant to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and did not give any positive response.In addition, Hong Chengchou, who recruited the southern governor of the Military Affairs University, suggested that Zheng Zhilong's forces were formed by integrating many pirates in the past. If he cannot be recruited in a short time, he should not transfer the target to other forces in Fujian. On the governor's side, he may have achieved unexpected results by dividing and dismantling Zheng Zhilong's forces.

Dorgon thought so, and ordered Boluo and Hong Chengchou to work together to deal with the Fujian and Guangdong affairs.

Hetu, the commander of the Mongolian Eight Banners stationed in Tianjin, came to report that the Ming army, who had been wandering around the seaside of Tianjin for several days, was afraid of our cavalry of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. They did not dare to land and left by boat.

Dorgon couldn't stop laughing at this, and the small court of Yongchu in Denglai saw that it could not divide the Qing's army with the help of the navy, so it had no choice but to leave, which only added laughter.

Many Manchu and Han ministers of His Highness found that the regent is in a better mood today. Even when they heard of the resistance to the hair-shaving order in several prefectures and counties in Henan, Shanxi, and Nanzhili, they did not get angry. riot.

At noon, the discussion process in the hall was about to end, but I saw the first-class Lazhangjing Tanbu (Tan Tai's younger brother) hurried to Dorgon's side, looking quite flustered, whispering something to the regent.

"Huh la la!" After Dorgon heard this, he angrily smashed a vase by his side to the steps below.

"Denglai..." Dorgon stood tall and roared loudly, "I vow to slaughter Denglai!"
