Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 897
It took only two hours for it to be wiped out. The two reinforcements from the Qing army outside Shengjing City totaled 6 horses.One way was beaten into pieces and disappeared, and the other way was completely wiped out, and no one slipped through the net.

Zhu Yousong invested a total of less than 5000 troops, and this battle can only be fought so beautifully.

After the fourth watch that night, the two battlefields outside the city gradually returned to calm. Only the Qing army in the city was still desperately rushing to break through. They dreamed that the two support troops outside could relieve their pressure. Even if one of them rushed in, they still had hope. However, they always only have extravagant hopes and disappointments.

Fighting until dawn, the reinforcements outside the city never rushed over.The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang knew that she had failed again this time, so she had to withdraw her troops and return to the city.

This time, the Ming army still did not pursue and kill, nor did they attack the city.

Back in the city to check the number of people, more than 2 soldiers were lost in this battle. The bravest generals Zu Zerun and Yeluqing were all killed in this battle.

It wasn't until the moment the two of them died that the two new princes realized that they would never be able to break out of this joint camp with their abilities. There can only be one explanation for the success of the two camp breakouts. The Ming army deliberately let them go in and out.

Checking the number of people, the Qing army in the city is now less than 5 people capable of fighting.

Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and others were helpless.

"Your Majesty, why didn't you attack the city? Now we can take Shengjing easily?" Xiao Liu asked in confusion.

Zhu Yousong said with a smile: "If we attacked by force, I would have taken this city down long ago. Why should I be trapped until now? The Tartars are cruel, and they will jump over the wall if they are in a hurry. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the city, most of them are Han people, I have to think about them."

"At this time, I still care about the people. Your Majesty is really the king of Yao and Shun. However, they have long been obedient citizens of the Qing Dynasty. Why do you pity them? If they were killed by the Tartars, they deserved what happened."

"The common people are innocent. They lived on this land. Those Tartars who plundered and enslaved them deserve to die. The Qing Dynasty is about to fall. What's the difference?"

"Then how long are we going to be stuck?"

"Hurry up, the food and grass in their city can't last long now. Ammunition and food are exhausted, Xiaozhuang has only one way to go by offering the city to surrender."

A few days later, the good news came.Huang Degong's men and horses have been in full swing all the way, and have already occupied the entire Mobei Mongolia.

Coincidentally.Due to the withdrawal of Xihan, the army of the Joseon Lee Dynasty crossed the Yalu River and fought all the way to the vicinity of Shengjing. Now there is only one isolated city left in the Qing Dynasty.

The tens of thousands of Korean troops camped outside Shengjing City. The supreme ruler of North Korea, King Li Hao, sent an envoy to come and pay homage to Zhu Yousong.

Zhu Yousong knew that the Lee Dynasty in North Korea had always pursued the doctrine of great things. Historically, they had always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. When Japan invaded North Korea, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to clean up Japan. Later Jin sent troops to North Korea, and Ming Dynasty sent troops to fight against Dajin. .North Korea is Daming's younger brother, and they have always regarded Daming as the "boss" for hundreds of years.

It was only later that the Qing Dynasty enslaved North Korea, destroyed the Ming Dynasty, and established a unified dynasty regime. The Lee Dynasty of North Korea had to submit to the Qing Dynasty.

However, the Li Dynasty has always been dissatisfied with the Hu people, and their temporary submission can only be superficial. They believed in the rule of the Han people of the Ming Dynasty.

Now Zhu Yousong’s crossing revitalized Daming. After the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, the Lee Dynasty of North Korea secretly recruited troops and expanded its army to prepare for war. Definitely send troops to help.

Of course Zhu Yousong will not forget these things, and he also highly praises them for not forgetting his close friend Daming.

Now the new emperor Li Hao, who has just succeeded to the throne, is adhering to his father's behest, intending to maintain a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty, paying tribute every year, and becoming a minister every year.Zhu Yousong certainly welcomes this policy towards North Korea.

But for Li Hao's pilgrimage, Zhu Yousong plans to make it more grand, which can be regarded as a kind of attention and courtesy to King Li Hao, and more importantly, Zhu Yousong plans to show Xiaozhuang and others in the city.

Therefore, Zhu Yousong stepped up his propaganda efforts. He put up huge propaganda banners on the surrounding high places outside Shengjing City, and asked archers to shoot letter arrows into the city. The news of worshiping Zhu Yousong.

What's more, Zhu Yousong wrote a letter to the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang in his own handwriting. In the letter, Zhu Yousong told her very politely that the Ming army had occupied Mobei Mongolia, and Moxi Mongolia had surrendered to Ming Dynasty. North Korea also wanted to reconcile with the Ming Dynasty. The new king, Li Hao, was coming to pay homage recently, and she was invited to watch the grand ceremony at the top of the city.Fearing that the queen mother would not see it, Zhu Yousong copied several copies of the letter and ordered people to shoot it into the city.

After receiving Zhu Yousong's will, tens of thousands of military camps in North Korea also boiled. They also formed a military band, beat gongs and drums all day long, and circled their barracks. This method they used was to let the Qing army in the city I know, besides, they are now sincerely congratulating the victory, congratulating them on becoming a vassal state of Ming Dynasty and breaking away from the enslavement of the Manchu Tartars.

It is impossible for the Qing army in the city not to know that the Ming army outside the city and the Korean army joined hands to make such a toss, and now they are even more panicked.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang stabbed and tore Zhu Yousong's autographed letter to pieces, but after tearing up one letter, someone sent several similar letters soon.

In the letter, Zhu Yousong told her clearly that the Qing Dynasty had come to an end, and there was only one lonely city left—Shengjing.Ammunition and food are running out, right in front of her eyes, where to go, this is a serious problem before her.

The woman fell ill again after the rant.

Now the food in the city can't last for a few days, and the people in the city are hungry everywhere. If this continues, even if the Ming army doesn't attack the city, it will inevitably cause a mutiny by the Qing army in the city. This shows that the Qing Dynasty is really coming to an end. Quan, Ganglin, Wu Keshan, Manzhu Xili, etc. also have the word surrender in their hearts, but they dare not say it in front of Xiaozhuang.

After another 3 days, Li Hao, the new king of North Korea who had just succeeded for one year, really came to the North Korean military camp outside Shengjing City.

It was a very lively day. First, tens of thousands of Korean soldiers greeted the king, and then King Li Hao brought the senior generals of the Korean army to Mingying.

The pilgrimage ceremony was held in an open space outside the south gate of Shengjing City.

In the camp of the Ming army, flags and banners were unfurled, lanterns and festoons were decorated, gong and drummers beat gongs and drums, and some of their arms were swollen.

The scene of the ceremony was crowded with people.The flowers and carpets are particularly conspicuous, and the audience is of course all soldiers of the Ming Army Expeditionary Army and Korean generals.

The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Yiwei had already set up the stage. When it was near noon, Zhu Yousong, dressed in a rolling dragon robe and wearing a dragon crown with eight treasures and pearls, sat on the dragon chair in the middle.The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty worshiped first, and the hatchback was followed by Shanhu Longsui.

At this time, Li Hao, the king of North Korea, was wearing a brand-new king's uniform, and walked up to Zhu Yousong to bow down respectfully to Zhu Yousong.

This is not far away. Over the city of Shengjing, tens of thousands of eyes are also staring at this grand scene, among them is the sickly Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

The ministers around Feng Quan, Gang Lin, Wu Keshan, Manzhu Xili and others didn't intend to recognize the Queen Mother and go to the city to watch, but the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang insisted on doing so, and they had no choice.
