Chapter 289 The Dangerous Situation of the Dashun Dynasty
Guanzhong.

Li Zi's success or failure to return to Xi'an indicated that the Dashun Dynasty had failed to seize the tripod, which caused the morale of the Dashun Dynasty to drop suddenly, and people became a little panicked.

The soldiers of the Shun Army marched eastward full of hope, but in the end they retreated disheartened, like a farce.

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The Dashun Army fell from a high place, coupled with the continuous defeat on the front line, the Dashun Army began to doubt its own ability, and its morale fell to the bottom.

In the city of Xi'an, in the Tianyou Pavilion, the Prime Minister Niu Jinxing and the officials of the six governments sat together with sad faces.

At this time, on the table in front of Niu Jinxing, there were three urgent reports, one from Shanxi, one from northern Shaanxi, and one from Henan.

All the Dashun officials here have read these three military newspapers. The Shanxi military newspaper said that Taiyuan fell, Qihou Guying, and General Youguoyi Ma Chongxi died in battle, and the whole of Shanxi fell into the hands of the Qing army.

This is equivalent to saying that the achievements of the Dashun Army's Eastern Expedition have all come to naught. Not only that, it also cost the lives of several generals and tens of thousands of Shun Army soldiers, and the Eastern Expedition strategy completely failed.

The military newspaper in northern Shaanxi was sent by Li Guo, Marquis of Bo, reporting to King Azige of the Qing Dynasty, Commander Gushan Ezhen Tantai, and King Wu Sangui of Qin (revised), and dispatched rebel generals Jiang Xiang and Tang Tong to detour through Hetao Break the wall and invade northern Shaanxi.

Azige used Jiang Xiang and other rebels to besiege Gao Yi in Yulin. Together with Wu Sangui and other troops, Azige pointed directly at Yan'an and was fighting fiercely with Li Guo.

The other is a report from Henan. It is a report that Li Yan and Bai Wang said that the Qing army was in a hurry to attack Hulao and asked Guanzhong for help.

There have been several urgent reports from Luoyang asking for help. Except for the first one which was handed over to Li Zicheng, the latter one was suppressed by Niu Jinxing.

At the beginning, Li Yan persuaded Li Zicheng to suspend the Eastern Expedition, and Niu Jinxing fought against him. Now it turns out that Li Yan was right and Niu Jinxing was wrong.

Niu Jinxing was very unhappy and worried about falling out of favor, so he ordered a beating report, hoping that Li Yan could die in Henan.

It's just that the Qing army's North Road has already reached Yan'an. Once Yan'an falls, the Qing army can invade the Guanzhong Plain.

If when the Shun army and the Qing army were fighting fiercely in Yan'an, if a Qing army suddenly appeared outside Tongguan, it would be over by the way.

Although Niu Jinxing has a lot of selfishness, but at this time, he has to face up to the current situation and dare not report it.

"Everyone, everyone has read these three urgent reports." Niu Jinxing glanced at everyone and asked, "Do you have any strategies for this?"

Song Xiance is a fortune-telling alchemist, he pretends to be a ghost, and he can make up nursery rhymes. If you ask him how to defend against the enemy, he will embarrass Lao Song.

The other ministers talked a lot, but they didn't come up with any good solution.

Ever since Dashun fought against the Qing army, there have been more than a dozen battles, big and small, but they have never won a single one. Even if they came up with the same tricks, it was useless.

Everyone discussed for a long time, Zhang Lin, Minister of the Military Government, stood up suddenly and said: "Prime Minister, the Qing army is in full swing, and our court is hard to resist. Why don't we send envoys to negotiate peace and drag out the Qing army first? What does the Prime Minister think?"

Niu Jinxing was no idiot either, he shook his head immediately after hearing this, and as the situation worsened, he already understood the Qing army's intentions, "The Qing army entered the customs under the banner of avenging Chongzhen, they wanted to destroy Shun Ding, even if we want to ask for peace, the Qing army may not agree!"

Even if they quit Beijing, the territory controlled by Dashun is still very impressive. After a little rest, it is not that there is no chance to revive.

It's just that Dashun's understanding of the Qing army's entry into the customs is obviously insufficient. They didn't expect that the Qing army would chase them fiercely, with the air of chasing and killing them.

Niu Jinxing also waited until the Qing army invaded Shanxi and attacked Shun from the north and the south, before he realized that the Qing army was not looting, but destroying Shun to seize the tripod.

This time the Qing army entered the customs to provoke a war. If there is no enmity between the Qing army and Dashun, the Shun army can be recruited or negotiated, but in fact, as long as the Dashun army falls into the hands of the Qing army, they will often die awful.

Thousands of Shun troops who surrendered were massacred by the Qing army.

In history, Wushan Bo Ma Shiyao, who surrendered in Tongguan, and his [-] followers were slaughtered by Duduo in the name of hunting and feasting.

In addition, Zehou Tian Jianxiu, Yihou Zhang Nai, Taiping Bo Wu Ruyi and others surrendered, and more than [-] members of their tribe were also massacred by the Qing army.

Although the Qing Dynasty had no enmity with the Shun army, they were merciless in the process of destroying Dashun, and their methods were much more ruthless than that of the Ming Dynasty.

One of the reasons why the Qing court was like this was to buy the hearts of the northern gentry.

Li Zicheng's policy of subsidizing wages in the north offended almost all the northern officials and gentry, and these officials and gentry became the main targets of the Qing court's absorption and wooing.

As soon as Dorgon entered Beijing, he followed Hong Chengchou's suggestion and issued an order, announcing that all the land seized by the invading army would be "returned to the original owner" and that the payment of three payments would be stopped, which immediately attracted many gentry and landlords.

These people became officials in the Qing court, which would naturally affect the Qing court's attitude towards the Shun army.

Of course, this is not the main reason, the key point is the second.

The Qing court very cunningly determined that after Li Zicheng captured Beijing, the Ming Dynasty had perished, and refused to recognize the legitimacy of the southern Ming Dynasty.

In the logic of the Qing court, Li Zicheng destroyed the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng was the emperor, and if the Qing Dynasty destroyed Li Zicheng, the Qing Dynasty would be taken from Li Zicheng, not the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, you old ministers of the Ming Dynasty will not be able to hate me, but you have to thank me for avenging the Ming Dynasty.

This was originally a set of self-consistent logic, but there was something wrong in the middle. The Prince Chongzhen, who was declared dead by the Dashun Army, arrived in Nanjing, and the Prince was the legal heir of the Ming Dynasty, which made the Qing Dynasty a little embarrassed.

However, for the Qing court, if the logic makes sense, it will be explained, and if it does not make sense, it will beat you to the ground.

At present, the Qing court's eyes have not yet turned to Nanjing, but they are concentrating on dealing with Li Zicheng.

After Li Zicheng withdrew from Beijing, he didn't realize that after the Qing army entered the customs this time, they didn't plan to go out. It was not to plunder, but to compete with him for the world.

Because of a mistake in judgment, he did not stay in Shanxi to command the army to defend against the enemy, but returned to Guanzhong and took away the main force of the Dashun army.

This made Shanxi's Shun army empty-handed. After Li Zicheng left, there were rebellions everywhere, and the Qing army took advantage of the momentum to attack Shanxi.

In addition, the Qing court also sent two armies from the north and the south, one led by Azig, who took a detour from northern Shaanxi to enter the pass, and the other led by Duoduo, went to Henan to attack Tongguan.

Faced with the Qing army's attack, the people of the Dashun court were terrified, and many officials had slipped away quietly.

After listening to Niu Jinxing's words, several people in the hall were a little flustered, and Zhang Lin suddenly couldn't help but said impatiently: "It's impossible to make peace, and it's too big to fight, what should we do?"

"It's hard to deal with the Qing army that just entered northern Shaanxi. If the Duoduo army is attacking Tongguan, I'm afraid~"

Niu Jinxing originally wanted to find a few people to discuss countermeasures, but after listening to a few people's words, it made him feel even more uncertain, and his face sank.

This made him a little annoyed, he came here to discuss how to deal with it, not for you to scare me!
However, at this moment, Niu Quan, the son of Niu Jinxing, ran in with an excited expression on his face. He lost his composure and said, "Father, Henan Gao Yihuan, we have good news!"
