Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 868
The news of the defeat of Dorgon's nearly 30 troops outside Shanhaiguan City flew to Shengjing City like snow flakes, and the whole country was shaken.

In the Hall of Qinzheng in Shengjing City, the capital of the Qing Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Emperor Shunzhi were sitting in the middle, the Minister of Political Affairs Ning Wanwo of Hongwenguan, Feng Quan of the University, Gong Adai, Xihan, and Wu Keshan, Prince Zhuoliketu of the Horqin Department , Junwang Manzhu Xili and others knelt down to see him.

"See my emperor, long live, long live, long live." They shouted long live according to the etiquette of the Han people to meet the king.

The 13-year-old little Shunzhi suddenly grew up, and basically has the physique of an adult, but his figure is a little thin. He wears a domed Naolong crown and a majestic dragon robe. Accepting the worship of hundreds of officials once can be regarded as the beginning of his formal pro-government.

"Your servants are free from courtesy." Emperor Shunzhi stood up with a serious expression on his face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After everyone was flattened, Wen Dongwu and Wu Xi laid out the hatchback.

"Dear dear friends, you may all know that in recent years, after Daming Hongguang Zhu Yousong returned to the country, he repeatedly provoked and made troubles against us, the Qing Dynasty. It is unbearable. The emperor's uncle and regent Dorgon personally commanded the army 30 troops were dispatched to Shanhaiguan, but it was not good for the army. The emperor's uncle was injured and sick and retreated to Ningyuan. I and the queen mother have wept to tell our ancestors and ancestors. From now on, I will come to the court to listen to the government. I hope that all my loves will work together with me to help the building. Make every effort to turn the tide and strengthen my Qing Dynasty."

Emperor Shunzhi's slightly immature voice shook the hall.

As soon as Emperor Shunzhi finished speaking, all civil and military officials clattered and knelt down again, shouting in unison: "Your Majesty will become a martial artist, and I will definitely work together and let you be driven by His Majesty. Turn the tide and strengthen our Qing Dynasty!"

Emperor Shunzhi looked at the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang beside him. This beautiful and picturesque woman suddenly seemed to be a few years older, and there seemed to be a few crow's feet on her face. Seeing such a scene, she nodded in satisfaction.

Xiaozhuang also stood up, "Aijia is a female stream. According to the ancestors' precepts, they should not be in the palace to listen to the government. However, my Qing Dynasty has reached a critical moment of life and death. Our ancestors and ancestors are watching us in the sky. Brothers of the Eight Banners, my 4000 million people in the Qing Dynasty should all work together to assist the young master and protect the foundation of the ancestors."

"The ministers will abide by the Queen Mother's order, and will live up to the heavy trust. They will do their best and die, and they will die with all their heart and soul!"

"Thank you, Ai family, thank you all." The Empress Dowager said solemnly, sending her best wishes to all civil and military officials.

It was the first time in the history of the Qing Dynasty that the empress dowager saluted civil and military officials.

The civil and military officials below were warm in their hearts. Feeling this sacred and solemn moment, they all had an urge to sacrifice their lives for the country.

Then Emperor Shunzhi spoke again, "My dear family, I intend to personally conquest, pouring all the power of the Qing Dynasty into a bloody battle with the Ming Dynasty to the end. I have now received a report that the Li Dynasty of the peninsula is in harmony with my Qing Dynasty. Colluded with Daming, they are gathering troops to Baishan, I decided to give them a head-on blow, Minister of the Ministry of War Xihan?"

One of the auxiliary ministers, Xi Han, who is now the minister of the Ministry of War of the Qing Dynasty, hurried out of the shift and knelt down: "The slave is here."

"I order you to lead the elite of the Xiangbai Banner, plus 2 green battalions, to send troops to the Yalu River to resist the enemy."

"The slave leads the order."

"Gong Adai?"

"The slave is here."

"I was crowned the crown prince and Taibao, and together with Feng Quan, the Minister of Rites of Hongwenguan University, sat in the capital together during my personal conquest."

"Thank you, Lord Long En, this servant has taken the order." The two quickly fell to their knees.

Like Xihan, Gong Adai is also one of the auxiliary ministers.On the first day that Emperor Shunzhi was in charge, he granted them official positions and entrusted them with heavy responsibilities. They were all Dorgon's confidantes, and they felt that they were going to be replaced by new masters. The two were flattered.

Feng Quan is a Han Chinese. Like Hong Chengchou, he was once an important minister before Chongzhen, but he was dismissed because of corruption and bribery.After Dorgon brought Emperor Shunzhi into the Central Plains for the first time, he was reactivated. Now, like Hong Chengchou, he has also become a second minister, a scholar of the Hongwen Museum of the Qing Dynasty and a minister of the Ministry of Rites.

After Emperor Shunzhi and Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang arranged all this, they mobilized another 10 troops. A few days later, their mother and son led the army and left Shengjing for Ningyuan.

The accompanying civil and military ministers mainly included Ning Wanwo, Ganglin, Bahana, Leng Sengji, and Bai Yintu.

Under the operation of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Horqin, Abagai, Zalut, Ordos, Guoerluosi, Tumed, Sunit, Ongniud, Harqin, Aohan, Naihan and other Mongolian villages The Ministry assisted the Qing army in combat this time.

When the army left Shengjing, less than a hundred miles away, Emperor Shunzhi suddenly received a report that Ningyuan City had been breached by Zhang Xianzhong, Dorgon fled, and Hong Chengchou was arrested.Moreover, there was another Ming army led by Li Zicheng, bypassing Ningyuan and rushing towards Jinzhou.

When Emperor Shunzhi and Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang got such news, it was like adding insult to injury.The mother and son immediately decided to drive to Jinzhou, where they would fight the Ming army to the death.Jinzhou is the gateway to the capital and must not be lost.

They mobilized their soldiers and horses day and night to speed up their advance. The next day, Emperor Shunzhi came to Jinzhou City.Jinzhou City originally had 2 defenders, and the main defender of the city was Li Tiansheng, a Han minister.

Now Li Tiansheng is sitting on pins and needles, Dorgon is in defeat, and Ningyuan City is taken by the Ming army like lightning. The general is also panicked, and hastily wrote a memorial to the capital overnight. The memorial has not yet been sent out, Shunzhi The emperor and the empress dowager Xiaozhuang arrived with 10 soldiers and horses.The soldiers in Jinzhou suddenly had a backbone.

General Li Tiansheng welcomed Emperor Shunzhi and Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang into the city, and gave a detailed report on Jinzhou's defense. Now Li Zicheng's troops have arrived near Xiaoling River.After crossing the Xiaoling River, there is the Nur River, and after crossing the Nv River is Jinzhou. The situation is extremely critical.

After discussing with the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Emperor Shunzhi immediately decided to increase troops to Xiaolinghe and Nuerhe. At the same time, several strategic strongholds such as Heishan, Xingshan, Tashan, Songshan, and Dalinghe were strengthened and built fortifications overnight. Deep ditches and huge ditches connect these strategic strongholds into a line of defense, Dobu cannons, bows and arrows, rolling logs, and stone defenses.

Emperor Shunzhi and Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, together with Ning Wan and I, inspected the deployment and defense of the troops at these strongholds.

After escaping from Ningyuan, the stragglers had already fled to Jinzhou. The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang ordered Emperor Shunzhi to pardon them all for their capital crimes and give them a chance to make up for their mistakes.

These people are grateful for the kindness of the emperor and the empress dowager, and the number of soldiers running back will increase. In just two or three days, there will be tens of thousands of Qing soldiers running back from Ningyuan.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang also suggested to Emperor Shunzhi that all your soldiers participating in the war, regardless of Mongols, Manchus and Hans, should be paid an additional month of food and salaries to boost morale.

In Jinzhou, including various strongholds outside the city, the total strength of the Qing army has reached 17, and morale is also unprecedentedly high.
