The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 709 Who wants to lead the army and fight Ding Yi to the death?
Huang Taiji became furious and ordered to dig three feet into the ground to find the buried treasure, as if he would not give up if he failed to achieve his goal.Unexpectedly, just as the soldiers were about to dig, the situation changed suddenly, and the clear and cloudless sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds.At the same time, a thick puff of smoke gushed out of King Khan's well.After the smoke passed, a shadow resembling Abahai emerged from the well, scaring Huang Taiji out of his wits.

At this time, only a voice was heard angrily reprimanding Huang Taiji for being ungrateful and not enterprising, and told him: "This batch of treasures is the fortune of the Qing Dynasty, and it will protect the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, and the country will last forever." The panicked Huang Taiji immediately knelt down, bowed to the well, and swore to heaven that he would never seek the whereabouts of these treasures again.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky cleared and everything returned to normal.What is even more surprising is that the former wellhead passage and the secret passage of the Internal Affairs Court disappeared without a trace the moment the dark clouds dissipated.From then on, no one knew the exact location of the treasure, and the whereabouts of the treasure became more confusing.

Later, the rulers of each generation of the Qing Dynasty only knew that the Qing Dynasty buried a batch of treasures outside the pass, but no one knew where the treasures were hidden.

This story is miraculous. Ding Yi's previous life was of course read as a novel, but this time when Shen Shikui led troops to fight Hetuala, he gave Shen Shikui an order to find Jiannu's dragon veins and treasures.

Shen Shikui waited for another day, and the temperature in the whole city dropped a lot, and then he took the Qing soldiers captured in Niu Mao Village and entered Hetuala.

Under their guidance, they found the former location of King Khan's Well.

After coming in, I found that Khan King’s Well is actually very easy to find. It is located in the center of "Hetuala" and is the only well in the city. It is said that since its existence, it has been used as water for life and agriculture by the people in the city. It has not been seen for hundreds of years. It dries up, so it has the reputation of "thousands of troops and horses will not drink dry".

At this time, all the city was reduced to ashes, only King Khan's well still had water.

Huang Taiji didn't dare to dismantle it at the beginning, he only dared to find the secret way, because it was the life water of their Houjin clan.

Shen Shikui didn't care, and immediately organized the prisoners to demolish the well.

During this period of time, his army was stationed outside, plundering everywhere, one was to harvest the food and grass of the Qing soldiers, and the other was to plunder the surrounding people.

In a few days, more than 400 people were arrested, and all of them came here to demolish the well.

It took two days to dig around the Khan King Well, and dug a drain ditch, and a large amount of water was drained outside.

After the wall of the well was dug, a secret passage loomed inside, but it was so narrow that only one person could climb in.

Shen Shikui found a thin man and tied a rope around his waist to let him in.

As a result, after climbing 20 meters in, it was said that the inside was blocked by a wall, and they could not get in, and had to be dug or exploded.

At this time, if you want to dig in again, it will inevitably consume a lot of time and material resources.

And it has been seven or eight days since they captured Hetuala, Shen Shikui did not dare to stay for a long time in order to prevent the Manchu reinforcements from coming.

According to Ding Yi's plan, he immediately ordered to pierce the remaining [-] large gasoline bombs, pour all the gasoline from the well wall, and then pour a wave of gunpowder.

After pouring, a fire was lit.

After a while, there was a loud bang on the ground, flames burst out, and a large area collapsed at King Khan's Well.

The fire burned again.

"Let's go." Shen Shikui laughed loudly and led the whole army back.

Whether there is treasure inside is not important to them, even if Huang Taiji comes to dig it, it will be in their hands sooner or later.

Ding Yi's instructions to him were to dig if he could, and to blow up if he couldn't.

When the army returned, Shen Shikui took away the soldiers and horses from Niu Mao Village, and did not intend to defend here.

Although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack here, it is of no use to them now.

Qing soldiers dare to occupy again, they can attack again at any time.

Shen Shikui's troops returned directly to Phi Island. When they returned to Phi Island, the Battle of Songjin was over and the Ming army was defeated.

崇祯15年（1642年)2月21日，皇太极破松山，3月10日，祖大寿降。

The Battle of Songjin ended, and the Qing army won a big victory. In this battle, nearly 3 Ming troops were wiped out, nearly 1 were beheaded, and more than [-] were captured. win all.

In addition, they got [-] artillery pieces of various types, [-] horses, and [-] pieces of armor, almost as much as they were built in the ten years of the Qing Dynasty.

At that time, Huang Taiji felt that what Yuan Tian said was reasonable, he should do his best to research and build the Lumi blunderbuss, as for the artillery and armor, the Ming army would build and send them to us.

But now their artisans have suffered heavy losses, and they can only rely on Daming to transport them in the future.

But Huang Taiji couldn't be happy about such a big victory.

Because he received news from Shengjing Kuaima in November that the Ming army Ding Yi attacked Haizhou and Hetuala.

When he learned that Gaizhou had been lost, Huang Taiji was shocked and angry, but he couldn't believe it.

The shameless Ding Mouse came to take advantage of the fire again to rob.

Every time he led the army to fight against Ming Dynasty, Ding Yi came over.

But anger turned to anger, Huang Taiji was unable to separate himself at that time.

Because he has seen the hope of forcing Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou to come down.

If the troops retreat at this time, Gaizhou has been lost, and the distance to go back is far away. Even if Haizhou is saved, it is too late to save Hetuala.

If Haizhou is exchanged for Zu Dashou and Hong Chengchou, it is hard to say who is more cost-effective.

But the key point is that in the Battle of Songjin this time, he gathered an army of [-] to besiege the Ming army with less than [-] members of Ding Yi, but he failed to defeat it.

In the past ten years or so, the whole Qing Dynasty scolded Ding Mouse every day for only defending the city and not daring to fight in the field. Now it is extremely difficult to win in the field.

If we go back now, we can't beat Ding Yi's army, and both sides fail.

At that time, the Qing Dynasty will really fall into the danger of subjugation.

Ding Yi had been dormant in Liaodong for several years, and when he suddenly sent troops, Huang Taiji was sure that if he was unprepared at this moment, he would never have a decisive battle with Ding Yi.

Even if there is a decisive battle, we have to wait for Song Jin to win a big victory before rectifying the troops.

At the same time, he still had a fluke mentality in his heart, maybe Ding Shuo was bluffing, only Gaizhou was the main force, and all other ways were fake, in order to force him to retreat.

After thinking about it again and again, Huang Taiji decided to hold down the secret message and not notify anyone else, and focused on destroying the Ming army in front of him first.

So they waited until March, when Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou were finally forced to surrender, and then Huang Taiji withdrew his troops.

In April, Qing soldiers returned to Shengjing.

Constrained by Huang Taiji's steadfast strategy, there were no traces of the Qing soldiers near Hetuala. Only after the Ming army retreated did the people nearby dare to watch, and only then did they know that Hetuala was broken.

When it was reported to Shengjing, Dang Lu Mingjun had already returned to Phi Island.

At this time, the whole Qing Dynasty knew that at the same time as they won the Songjin victory, the Ming army Ding Yi first broke through Gaizhou and then Haizhou, and the front of the soldiers had already reached the vicinity of Liaoyang.

Hetuala, the old village, was burned to ashes by the Ming army, and King Khan's well was demolished and bombed.

The land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, the nobles of the Eight Banners wept bitterly, and the whole city mourned. The city of Shengjing was dead, as if the country had perished.

The Han people dare not go to the streets, for fear of being killed by the Manchus.

When Huang Taiji got the news that day, his body trembled with anger, and the fat all over his body trembled.

Huang Taiji was a fat man with a fat face. He didn't know until he returned to Shengjing that Hetuala had been breached.

The news came from the people near Hetuala who walked all the way and walked for half a month to Shengjing to report.

The common people said that they first saw the fire in Hetuala from a distance, but the Ming army surrounded them, and they dared not approach.

After the Ming army retreated, they stepped forward cautiously, only to find that Hetuala was broken and turned into ruins.

Afterwards, the Manchu Qing sent troops in to take over the inspection, and there were nearly [-] charred bones alone. It can be believed that almost the entire city was destroyed.

Listening to the report, Huang Taiji trembled uncontrollably.

Only for a while.

Suddenly his eyes darkened, and his mouth was slightly salty.

He touched his nose subconsciously, and the nose bleeds again.

The blood stopped flowing down.

In normal times, all the ministers shouted: Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body or something.

But now no one cares about Huang Taiji's health.

The courtiers cursed, and many nobles shouted to gather soldiers and horses from all over the country to fight Ding Yi to the death.

He vowed to avenge the destruction of Hetuala.

You must know that Hetuala is not only the place where the dragons flourished in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but King Khan’s Well was also a holy place for their clan, and the elders and grandparents of the clan all lived there.

Now that Ding Mouse has taken it all at once, the hatred and hatred can hardly be described in words.

Only by mobilizing the soldiers of the whole country can we take blood revenge.

All the ministers quarreled, Huang Taiji took out a handkerchief and wiped his nosebleed, looking at the chaotic ministers in the hall, he felt even more angry.

"Okay, you want to fight Ding Yi, who wants to lead the army?" Huang Taiji slapped the table fiercely and roared.

His voice suddenly covered the scene.

The scene gradually quieted down, and no one said anything to the nobles.

This time, in Songjin, he lost first and then won. He lost two games in a row before, and finally defeated the Ming army only by shooting far from the Hongyi cannon.

Then they met Ding Yi's troops again, and they were defeated again.

If it weren't for Ding Yi's small number of soldiers and his determination to retreat, it would be hard to say whether they won the Songjin Battle.

It's so hard to beat Ding Yi's army, how dare you fight most of Ding Yi's army?

Seeing the silence around, Huang Taiji said slowly: "Ding Yi sent troops this time, how many soldiers and horses are there in total, can you count them?"

Dai Shan, who was stationed in Shengjing, looked extremely embarrassed: "Ding Yi sent troops three ways, attacking Gaizhou all the way, clearing the fort all the way, and then assembled in Haizhou, and went straight to Hetuala all the way."

"Every road is more than ten thousand people, and everyone has a horse."

Hiss, the audience gasped.

Back then, Ding Yi fled to Lushun with a few hundred remnants of soldiers. It has only been about ten years, and he has grown to tens of thousands of troops, and everyone has horses.

It doesn't matter if he has so many soldiers, but how come he has so many war horses?
"Where did he come with so many horses?" Dorgon also had a look of disbelief.

In the early stage of the Songjin War, the Ming army defeated Dorgon because there were not enough cavalry to pursue them, which allowed Dorgon to stabilize his position.

And Ding Yi is now everyone with a horse?
Think about the Songjin battle launched by the Ming army with the power of the whole country, 13 soldiers and horses, only more than 5 horse mules (more than 4 in the early stage, and more than 1 in the later stage).

Excluding those who use artillery, food, grass and supplies, the real cavalry is estimated to be around [-].

Even the powerful Ming Dynasty could not have horses for everyone, but Ding Yi did it.
