The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 710 Ding Yi is not dead, you assist Dorgon

No one can answer Dorgon's question.

No one knew that Ding Yi had so many horses.

And they also know that Ding Yi's war horses are better than theirs, and more in line with the standards of war horses.

But it doesn't make sense to think about it now.

They have to decide what to do next?
Everyone couldn't help looking at Huang Taiji at this moment.

Huang Taiji has made wise decisions many times in history. Man Qing was able to enter the customs step by step. Huang Taiji has made great achievements.

Now that the nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty encountered difficulties, they would count on Huang Taiji the first time.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Huang Taiji also knew that it was an extremely important moment.

They won the battle in the west and suffered a disastrous defeat in the east. The morale of the whole Qing Dynasty was devastated. It was necessary to let everyone jump out of the shadow of defeat as soon as possible.

He thought for a while and said slowly: "This time when the Ming army attacked Gaizhou, Haizhou, and Hetuala, they were all surrounded and wiped out. None of our soldiers escaped."

"I really don't know how the Ming army attacked it."

Huang Taiji really wanted to know how the Ming army managed to defeat it, but Ding Yi's troops surrounded and attacked first, and no one escaped. No one knew how the Ming army attacked.

Duo Ze said: "Didn't it be burned with fire?"

Dai Shan reprimanded: "The Ming army only set it on fire when it was defeated."

Daishan definitely believed that the Ming army fought down first, and then burned it with fire.

I've never heard of anyone directly using fire to fight a war, and it hasn't happened since ancient times.

Duo Ze hesitated to speak, I heard that the city walls were burned, after they were brought down, why burn the city walls, as long as the city is burned?
But when Daishan said so, he didn't want to contradict him.

"But no matter how the Ming army defeated it." Huang Taiji continued at this time: "We have to face one thing now. The Ming army Ding Yi has the sharp weapon and ability to attack a fortified city."

"Our Liaoyang and Shengjing are now exposed to his soldiers."

All the civil and military ministers in the main hall looked suspicious.

In the past few years, Ding Yi and their Chuhe-Han boundaries have been very clear, and they have never crossed the Beigou.

This time, they came here suddenly and occupied Gaizhou and Haizhou. Now the Ming army is closer to them than they are to the Ming army's stronghold.

Normally, someone would have yelled to call back, but no one dared to make a sound at this time.

"I've decided." Huang Taiji took a deep breath, as if he had made an extremely important decision.

"Negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty."

"What?" Everyone was dumbfounded.

Many people couldn't believe it. Over the past ten years or so, they had repeatedly won battles with the Ming army. Tens of thousands of Ming troops were defeated by them, and a large number of people were plundered.

The battle of Songjin just now wiped out [-] Ming troops.

Seeing that the Ming Dynasty couldn't resist them, now they are suddenly negotiating peace?
I have to say that Huang Taiji is really smart. After Ding Yi broke through Gaizhou, Haizhou and Hetuala, he saw that Ding Yi's ability to attack is very strong, which gave him a strong sense of crisis.

He worked hard to manage Gaizhou and Haizhou for more than ten years before, and even Huang Taiji himself always believed that it was impossible to win these two cities without more than 20 ants attacking the city.

But Ding Yi broke Gaizhou and Haizhou so easily, Huang Taiji was really scared in his heart.

Now that the distance between the two sides is so close, as long as Ding Yi is willing, he can send troops to fight over at any time.

So Huang Taiji decided to negotiate peace with Daming.

For this reason, he painstakingly explained to all the civil and military: "Ding Yi now is like a thief from the Three Kingdoms, but we are Soochow, and Ming is the Kingdom of Shu."

"The current situation is obvious. Ding Yi is the strongest. If we can't unite with the Kingdom of Shu, we will defeat him and even make a wedding dress for him."

"Right now, we can only seek peace first. With Chongzhen's character, if we have to deal with Ding Yi if we have to spare our hands, that is our best chance."

Some people suspect that our Qing Dynasty just wiped out [-] Ming troops, and Chongzhen is willing to seek peace?
Huang Taiji said, just because we hurt the Ming army, Chongzhen might be afraid and asked for peace.

Originally, Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian had planned to negotiate peace with Chongzhen on his behalf. If Lu Xiangsheng and other courtiers hadn't insisted on refusing, Chongzhen would not be in trouble.

Now that the [-] troops of the Ming army are gone, and the two famous generals Zu Dashou and Hong Chengchou have been captured, I believe that the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty will definitely have different opinions.

So after several days of debate and research in the Qing Dynasty, Bao Chengxian, a Han official from the Ministry of Officials, was sent to Daming to discuss peace with the Ming court.

When the court meeting ended that day, Huang Taiji hurried back to the palace and had just returned to Qingning Palace.

"Puchi" Huang Taiji spat out a mouthful of blood, and his obese body crashed to the ground.

The servants around screamed.

Huang Taiji didn't faint, he said sharply: "Don't say anything, or you will be executed."

"Tell the imperial physician, Hauge."

Before the imperial doctor arrived, Hauge had already rushed over, seeing Huang Taiji seriously ill in bed, his heart felt like a knife was stabbed, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

In addition to caring about his father, Hauge cared more about the country of the Qing Dynasty. The current situation is at the most dangerous time for the Qing Dynasty, and Huang Taiji's condition is getting worse and worse.

Song Jin's victory became meaningless due to Hetuala's fall and Huang Taiji's serious illness.

"Ama" Hauge knelt by the bed, tears streaming down his face.

"You all go out." Huang Taiji waved his hand, and in a blink of an eye, only Hauge was left.

Huang Taiji tightly held Hauge's hand, and then squeezed him several times: "Don't worry, Ama can understand her own body."

"I can't die, I can't die."

"Ama, take care, woo woo, Daqing can't live without you." Hauge cried like a child.

In the past, he didn't pay much attention to family ties. After all, Manqing grew up as a barbaric tribe. There are too many scenes of brothers killing each other, and father and son killing each other. Daishan even wants to kill his son Shuotuo.

But in the past few years, with Huang Taiji's focus on training him and the growing glory of the Qing Dynasty, Hauge also understands that the current Qing Dynasty cannot live without his father.

He has self-knowledge, among the other nobles in the Qing Dynasty, he is not the strongest one, and he is not half as capable as his father.

In history, he was able to agree to Li Fulin as Emperor Shunzhi because he knew that his ability was not as good as Dorgon's, and he was even less willing to have disputes among the Qing Dynasty.

Hauge's ability is not good, but he still has a sense of the overall situation.

Huang Taiji held his hand tightly, and thought carefully: "With people like Ding Yi out of the Han people, it will be very difficult for the Qing Dynasty to rise again."

"Fortunately, Ama can also see that Ding Yi has a lot of ambitions, and his ambition is in the world."

"The Han people are best at infighting. When we are strong, we can take advantage of the infighting and benefit from it. When we are weak, we should unite and endure humiliation."

Hauge nodded desperately, indicating that he understood.

"Your ability is not as good as Dorgon." Huang Taiji said directly at this time.

Hauge was silent and bowed his head in silence.

"If there is no Ding Yi, Ama will pass on to you."

Hauge burst into tears immediately: "Ama is fine, the imperial doctor will come soon—"

Huang Taiji said loudly: "Don't cry, we are full of people, how can we cry and cry like Han'er?"

Hauge immediately fell silent, not daring to cry anymore.

"In the future, you should wait and see what happens between Chongzhen and Ding Yi."

"If there is no Ding Yi, when our Qing Dynasty is rising, if there is Ding Yi—" He took a deep look at Hauge, and said earnestly: "For the sake of the whole family, you should do your best to help Dorgon."

Huang Taiji did not make Hauge the crown prince until his death, let alone make a will, because he knew that Hauge was not capable enough, he was more than successful, and he was not enough to develop.

If he passes on the throne selfishly, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is in Hauge's hands, and there will be no major events for future generations to enter the customs.

Just because Hauge didn't value the Hanchen and Han people, and he didn't want to reuse them, the Manchu Qing would lose half of their combat power.

Historically, the Manchus fought all the way to Guangdong after they entered the customs, and the number of real Manchu soldiers and horses has dropped to less than [-].

Most of them died in battle with various Ming armies and resisting rebels after entering the customs.

In the later period, it was all thanks to the Han army to conquer the world.

Hauge looked down on the Han people, and the people who supported him later were all Manchus, so it was destined not to be a big deal.

Huang Taiji knew what kind of virtue his son was, so he decisively reminded him that for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, if Ding Yi is still there, you have to support Dorgon.

When he said these words, Huang Taiji must have felt very uncomfortable.

In the first half of his life, he desperately wanted to get rid of the Dorgon brothers, but in the later period, he found that there was no successor in the Qing Dynasty, and only Dorgon was barely half as capable as him.

The rest of the nobles of the Manchu nationality are all rude and reckless men who can lead soldiers in war, and their ability to govern the country and political emotional intelligence are in a mess.

After Songjin's victory this time, he wanted to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty. Only Dorgon supported him.

So Huang Taiji knew that only Dorgon would be able to lead the Qing Dynasty to continue in the future.

After Huang Taiji finished speaking that day, he did not die. The imperial doctor came to see him and felt that Huang Taiji was angry.

It's just that Hetuala had a great influence on him this time. Huang Taiji's health became worse and worse, and he only went to court every now and then, and made important decisions many times.

Not long after, Huang Taiji ordered that in order to prevent Ding Yi from attacking again, the Manchu Qing stepped up the defense of Liaoyang and Shengjing, and after repairing the more than 3000 artillery pieces captured in this victory, distributed them in the southeast frontline cities that were facing Ding Yi. .

There are [-] cannons of various types in the important town of Liaoyang alone, and [-] Hongyi cannons.

In the battle of Songjin, Huang Taiji's Lumi blunderbuss shined brilliantly, and Ding Yixue's four-stage strike defeated the Ming army terribly.

Therefore, he was even more determined to make more Lumi blunderbusses, and deployed two thousand blunderbuss soldiers in Liaoyang. However, due to the heavy casualties of the craftsmen, Huang Taiji could only take it step by step, strive for peace, and delay the time. Within five years, he had to train Send out [-] musketeers.

Then because of the Songjin victory this time, they got tens of thousands of Han troops to surrender, and Huang Taiji formally formed the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

The earliest Han army banner built by Huang Taiji was Wuzhen Hachao, and Tong Yangxing was Angbang Zhangjing (general manager) at that time.

In the tenth year of Chongzhen, it was divided into two banners. Shi Tingzhu was the left-wing banner Gushan Ezhen (dutong), Ma Guangyuan was the right-wing banner Gushan Ezhen, and there were also the firearms battalion chief (Angbang Zhangjing) Kong Youde and deputy chief Geng Zhongming.

In the 12th year of Chongzhen, it was divided into four banners, Shi Yanzhu, Ma Guangyuan, Wang Shixuan, and Li Suitai were Gushan Ezhen.

This time, the Han army was reorganized and the Eight Banners of the Han army were established.

With Zu Zerun, Liu Zhiyuan, Wu Shoujin, Jin Li, Zhang Dayou, Ma Guangyuan, Bayan, and Li Guohan as Gushan Ezhen, there are 230 assistant leaders and 6000 people.

In addition, Kong Youde, the general manager of the independent firearms battalion, and Geng Zhongming, the deputy general manager, had 6 soldiers in the firearms battalion, and [-] soldiers from the Manchu and Han armies.

In the original history, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Eight Banners of the Han Army had about 5000 people, including the Firearms Battalion, it was estimated to be more than 3. Now because of being defeated by Ding Yi many times, Huang Taiji reused the Han Army and made the Han Army The number of people exceeded [-].

In order to ensure the number of the Han army, another [-] newly surrendered troops of the Han army served as auxiliary soldiers, which could be used for city defense and field transportation.

In this way, Huang Taiji now has [-] Han troops in his hands.

So far, the Han army has an independent banner.

While rectifying the Han army, Huang Taiji sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time persuaded Hong Chengchou to surrender.

At this time, Hong Chengchou refused to surrender, and every time someone went to persuade him to surrender, he was scolded and returned.

Huang Taiji did not give up, and sent Fan Wencheng to persuade him again.

On April [-], Fan Wencheng came to Hong Chengchou's place.

As soon as Hong Chengchou saw Fan Wencheng, he yelled at him. He first greeted Fan Wencheng's [-]th generation ancestors, and scolded him for forgetting his ancestors.

Fan Wencheng was not angry, nor did he mention the matter of surrender. Instead, he talked about the past and the present with him, and talked about Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Wenlong, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chuanting successively.

Fan Wencheng first said how great Mao Wenlong was in Dongjiang Town back then, but Yuan Chonghuan suddenly used Shangfang's sword and beheaded him without warning.

It is also said that Yuan Chonghuan led troops into the Wei capital, but after being called to the capital, he was immediately arrested and Ling Chi.

Lu Xiangsheng was loyal and dedicated to Ming Dynasty, and he was put into the coffin several months after his death. Chongzhen also suspected that he was defeated and fled on the battlefield.

Let alone Sun Chuanting, who defeated the peasant army many times and wanted to resign because of his deafness, Chongzhen sent him directly to prison, and he is still in prison now.

If Sun Chuanting was not still in prison here, we don't know who would win the battle of Songjin.

Hong Chengchou's face remained unchanged, he was still scolding.

At this time, a piece of dust fell from the beam and fell on Hong Chengchou's clothes.While Hong Chengchou spoke, he "wiped it repeatedly".Fan Wencheng said goodbye calmly, and returned to Huang Taiji: "Chengchou is not dead. Chengchou still loves this robe so much, let alone his body?"

He and Zhang Cunren, the Right Counselor of the Procuratorate of Hanchen, suggested that Hong, a man with great face, loves vanity, and thinks he is a person of great ability. Emperor Chongzhen actually didn't give him face much, and he didn't respect him enough.

The sage is a corporal, and if he treats him with sincerity, he will definitely let him surrender.

As expected, Huang Taiji took extra care of Hong Chengchou and gave him Qionglou Yuyu and a big house. At this time, Kong Youde suggested that he should also give a beautiful woman. Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty.

On May [-]th, Huang Taiji visited the Taimiao in person, and Hong Chengchou stood instead of kneeling.Seeing that Hong Chengchou's clothes were thin, Huang Taiji took off his sable fur and put it on Hong Chengchou's body.

Hong Chengchou couldn't bear it anymore, and he was probably tired of pretending to be X. Hao Tao burst into tears and bowed down: "The king treats his ministers like brothers and feet, and the ministers treat him like his heart. Long live the sage, long live, long live."

The emperor was overjoyed and helped him up with his own hands.

The next day, Hong Chengchou led Zu Dashou and other generals to formally hold a surrender ceremony, and bowed their heads in front of Huang Taiji.
