Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 401 Moving to Shengjing
Dorgon led the remnants of the defeated generals and was defeated for more than [-] miles in one breath, and night began to fall. Seeing that there were no pursuers behind, Dorgon, who was covered in sweat, ordered the team to stop and rest.

But Dorgon saw that his team was too embarrassed. The soldiers were all bloody, their faces were red and green, and their faces were full of frustration. They were even more embarrassed than beggars.

The most frustrating one was of course Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty. After he stabilized his spirit, he quickly ordered someone to check the number of people.

When he first left the capital, counting Wu Zhenchao, Dorgon brought out more than 3 soldiers, but looking at it now, there are still 7000 people left even including those who followed up one after another and were injured.

Fortunately for him, more than 100 cannons in red clothes have never been damaged. Monk Geng Zhongming is gratified that the two Han princes of the Qing Dynasty retreated before they reached the battlefield with the cannons.

Such a disastrous defeat in one day, this time, within three days of leaving the capital, the prestige of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties has been lost, how can I bear it, God bless me!
Dorgon thumped his feet and beat his chest. At that time, he had the desire to die. With his blood surging, he drew out his saber and was about to wipe his neck, but all the generals under his command were destroyed. down.

It's no wonder that Dorgon wanted to commit suicide. In just one day, the [-] army that carried him, the queen mother, and the entire Qing Dynasty's revival was left with such a small number of soldiers. This time, they lost completely, almost losing everything. up.How could he, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, have any face?
Geng Zhongming, it's gratifying, Fan Wenchenghe, Bo Luo, Sony and others hurriedly persuaded them that winning or losing is a common thing for military strategists, and so on.

But even they themselves are a bit reluctant to say this, because victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. ?

But no matter what, Dorgon was finally persuaded. In fact, Dorgon didn't really want to die. Ants are greedy, let alone human?
Especially now that he is still the regent who holds great power, under one person, above ten thousand people, his status is pardoned, life and death can be taken away, let me ask all the living beings in the world, who is willing to die in this position?

Isn't it just a defeat?That's nothing, it's not that he has never been defeated, isn't it just that he suffered another defeat in front of Ji Dong?This is not the first time, it's just one more defeat, it's no big deal!
The worst thing is to continue the nomadic life like 10 years ago, as long as you don't die, you will always come out!

Thinking of Dorgon in this way, he persuaded himself, and he suddenly became enlightened and relaxed a lot.

Then rectify the soldiers and horses and return to the capital overnight with the remnants of the defeated generals to see the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's mood was even worse. She already knew that Dorgon was defeated again. The distance of 200 miles to the capital was too close. Of course, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang also paid attention to Dorgon's war. It is the fate of the entire Qing Dynasty. Once Dorgon is defeated there, there will be scouts here to report the battle to the capital.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's mood has just been a few days, and the clouds are overcast again. It is a trivial matter for her to lose her brother, and now the fate of the Qing Dynasty is worrying.Where do we go from here?To bow down to the Ming Dynasty and continue to accept the enslavement of the Han people, as before, is it right for the ancestors?Especially when her husband Huang Taiji passed away, the new emperor took the throne only two or three years ago, and Xiao Shunzhi was still a playboy. Wouldn't it mean that the Qing Dynasty was ruined by her and Dorgon?
She knelt down in front of the ancestral temple, looking at the portraits of Huang Taiji and Nurhachi, her tears were like broken pearls.

It was Nurhachi and Huang Taiji who would never show her the way.

In the end, Dorgon and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang discussed that Shengjing must not stay any longer. The total number of defeated troops and those defending the city was more than 13,000, including soldiers from the Manchus and Mongols. There are also some Han generals, and this is where all the military power of the Qing Dynasty lies.

How can this strength fight against Daming?Can it hold the huge Shengjing City?Both Dorgon and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang knew what the consequences would be if they persisted in the corner, and the subjugation of the monarch and his subjects was inevitable.

Bow down to Daming and go to peace talks?They didn't dare to think about this step anymore, and if they mentioned it again and again, it would be like adding fuel to the fire, and the Ming army would have to slaughter the city if they broke through.

Therefore, they agreed to call Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and other ministers to hold an imperial meeting, and of course Xiao Shunzhi also attended, and the regent announced the relocation of the capital on behalf of Xiao Shunzhi.

After the imperial meeting was over, all civil and military officials were busy with moving.

Moving house is not a trivial matter. Moving home is equivalent to shedding a layer of skin. This is for individual households, let alone the Qing Dynasty, which is a huge city?
From the imperial palace, to the cabinet, to the courtyards and mansions of ministers and bureaucrats, official seals, gold, silver and jewellery, silk and satin, ancestral temple horses, etc. .

Dorgon even suggested that before leaving, set the capital on fire and burn the capital of the Qing Dynasty. The red bricks and green tiles, pavilions, towers and pavilions, and magnificent palaces and palaces should not be given to Daming cheaply.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang did not agree. This was once the land of Longxing. It was the crystallization of the hard work and wisdom of the ancestors. Their spirits in heaven would not agree. Maybe we may come back.

Dorgon had no choice but to give up. The court ladies and eunuchs, civil and military officials, including the emperor and queen, were all busy, because there was not much time left for them.

Governor Lin Yi led the Ming army to encircle the capital at any time. They were thinking of moving the capital, which is already impossible. Hong Chengchou was captured twice as a living example. They don't want the young Shunzhi to be the second Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen, who saw soldiers approaching the city back then, refused to listen to the advice of his ministers and asked him to move the capital.If he moved the capital to Nanjing, Li Zicheng's Dashun Army would occupy Beijing at most, and it would not be easy to occupy Nanjing. He chose the king to die in Sheji.

Of course, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dorgon knew these historical lessons clearly, so they are now intensively preparing to move the capital.

Of course, the relocation of a country is an ancient event with many threads.You can't move the emperor, the army, and civil and military officials, but you have to have the common people, otherwise who will you rule?The [-] households in the capital are obedient citizens of the Qing Dynasty. Of course they cannot be left behind. Dorgon and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang also know that a country without people cannot be called a country.

Therefore, the ruling class of the Qing Dynasty cannot move, and the common people of the lower class have to move too.

So, while the imperial city of the Qing Dynasty was busy, someone posted the notice on the imperial list, and asked all the three religions, nine streams, five elements and eight works inside and outside the capital to follow them, and the goal was the city of Hetuala hundreds of miles away.

Hetuala City is the area of ​​Xinbin County, Fushun City, Liaoning Province for later generations. This is the real place of Longxing. Nurhachi made his fortune here and established Houjin.After the Battle of Sarhu, they moved the capital from Hetuala to Shengjing, which later became the capital of the Qing Dynasty.

Needless to say, for such a short-lived dynasty as the Qing Dynasty, the hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside the capital really lingered.

This is of course attributable to the sinicization policy and the policy of caring for the people proposed by Fan Wencheng Ning Wan, a big traitor like me in recent years, which was then accepted and promoted by the high-level rulers of the Qing Dynasty, such as Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, and Dorgon. Efforts have also been made to ease ethnic and class conflicts while enhancing national power, and are accepted by some Han people.

Among the hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside the capital, about 10,000+ people are willing to follow the Qing Dynasty. After seeing the notice of the emperor, they knelt down on the ground, crying, and then hurriedly packed their things and prepared to move.

After two days and two nights of busy work in the Qing Dynasty, everything was finally ready. On the evening of the third day, the four gates of Shengjing City were opened, and more than 3 Qing soldiers protected the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang of Shunzhi and Dorgon. Followed by 1+ ordinary people, there are Manchus and Han people, those who push carts and carry loads, drag their families with their families, and most of them ride animals. Ala city to go.

Hundreds of years ago, it was too difficult to walk. Unlike later generations of high-speed trains, airplanes, trains, ships, and buses, it was possible to travel from north to south to east to west in China. At that time, walking was measured by two legs or four legs by animals. , Hundreds of miles away, there are rugged mountains and plains everywhere, so it is as difficult as walking on such a road.

These high-level wealthy households in the Qing Dynasty are okay. They have horses, carts, and livestock. It is these ordinary people who suffer.

Therefore, within a day, the team decreased sharply, and on the second day, it decreased a lot. When they arrived at Hetuala City on the fifth day, in addition to more than 2 troops protecting the emperor and the families of these high-ranking civil and military officials, there were also thousands of people. , There were only more than 1 clansmen and people who came with them, and most of the others were left behind. Some survived in other places, and some even died halfway.

Some wealthy households and some government officials could not bear the fatigue of the journey, and after a long journey, they would not know where to end after falling behind.

But when they arrived in Hetuala City, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Dorgon and others finally breathed a sigh of relief. What they were worried about finally did not happen. He retreated completely.

In addition to civil and military officials, the army only has more than 1 people, and the tribe and people only have more than 5 people. In addition to the original tribe in Hetuala City, there are still 10,000+ people.

The banner of the Qing Dynasty still does not fall. Although there are fewer people, they can find a way. The more than 1 Eight Banners troops are their capital. In addition, they feel fortunate that there are still more than 100 red cannons that have never been lost. That is to say, Huaishun Wang and Zhishun Wang, the two Han princes of the Qing Dynasty, followed them all the time.They once established a powerful Wuzhen Chaoha team, and now there are only these two or 3000 people left.

It shows that God is not too cruel, and he left seeds for them, so that it may be possible for them to make a comeback.

This is where Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dorgon felt comforted.

On the third day after Dorgon and Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang left Shengjing, Lin Yi, the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, led 3+ Ming troops, including the Mongolian and Korean allies, and nearly 10,000 troops marched into Shengjing. Beijing.

At this time, Shengjing City was not an empty city, but the ruling class of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties left with their army, as well as the ethnic groups who supported them and some Han people.But there are still many people who stay inside and outside the city of Shengjing. Of course, these people have feelings for the Ming Dynasty, because Shengjing was originally the territory of Ming Dynasty, and now they finally look forward to the day when they return to the embrace of the motherland.

Therefore, when Lin Yi's team entered Shengjing, the people inside and outside the city welcomed them warmly in various ways.

There were guards leading the way in front, followed by the women's battalion behind, and then the mighty army of Daming. Lin Yi sat on his horse and waved frequently to the welcoming crowd on both sides.

Shengjing, the capital of the Qing Dynasty, was taken down without bloodshed. Seeing the enthusiasm of the people here, Lin Yi felt a sense of accomplishment, and his heart was ups and downs.

Immediately after Lin Yi moved to Shengjing, he went out to calm the people, strictly enforced military discipline, and no one was allowed to disturb the people.Then, people announced the good news to the civil and military officials in the Beijing City Cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, and soon this incident caused a sensation across the country.

From high-ranking officials down to the common people, there was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys, and some people even found it incredible.Could it be that the vigorous Qing Dynasty existed in name only?

Lin Yi saw that the scale of Shengjing City was no less than that of Beijing City...
