I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 381
Chapter 381

Huang Taiji looked at the defeated Manchu troops beside Maiheli with a livid face. Although more than 1000 people were killed and wounded in the shelling outside Chaoyang Gate, because Maiheli retreated too hastily, the Manchu and Qing elites were They collided and trampled on each other, causing hundreds more casualties.

Also, they were running too fast on the road, and many of the horses were exhausted. As a result, less than 7000 people successfully ran in front of Huang Taiji.

Hauge looked angry. What happened? Why did he lose so miserably? He was about to call Mai Heli a waste, but when he heard Mai Heli say Ning Haijun at this time, he shut up first. .

If Maiheli was beaten so badly by his former subordinates, the defeated Ming army, he should be punished severely, otherwise the Qing Dynasty could not afford to lose this person. However, the problem is that he was ambushed by Ning Haijun and was killed by hundreds of Ning Haijun. A cannon blasted fiercely, so this was not considered a mistake, because so far, the Manchu and Qing elites had never won against Ning Haijun. Even if they had a small victory, Ning Haijun would not let them succeed.

Under such circumstances, Maiheli was able to escape with 7000 people, which can be regarded as a proper response. Not only was there no mistake, but it was a great achievement.

Huang Taiji's complexion turned green and white, and his fat body was trembling.He suddenly jumped off the horse, walked over to this place, grabbed Mai Heli and asked tremblingly: "Are you really Ning Haijun?"

This sentence exposed Huang Taiji's heart. In fact, not only Huang Taiji was deeply afraid of Ning Haijun and Cheng Shijie, but also Hauge and all the generals of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were equally afraid.

For the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, Cheng Shijie and Ning Haijun were their nightmare.

Mai Heli shook his head and said: "Your Majesty... I have not seen Ning Haijun. If I had seen Ning Haijun, how could I have fallen into their trap?"

Hauge yelled: "Those damn Han dogs!"

Hauge cursed Wen Tiren, Wang Yingxiong and others in the most vicious words. However, no matter how angry he was, he did not threaten to go to the capital and kill all those people.

Huang Taiji's face became extremely scary, his face was pale, his lips were trembling and he couldn't even speak.

Jierhalang gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Your Majesty, what are we waiting for? Rush forward and kill all these bright dogs to avenge the tragic deaths of the soldiers!"

Meng Qiaofang, the leader of the two Han army flags, the red flag and the red flag, Merle Ezhen (the Chinese name is the deputy capital commander), said impatiently: "Yes, kill all these bright dogs and avenge the tragic deaths of the soldiers!"

This Meng Qiaofang was from Yongping, Zhili (now Lulong, Hebei Province). In 1630 (the fourth year of Tiancong), Huang Taiji captured Yongping Mansion. Meng Qiaofang, together with the magistrate Zhang Yangchu, the military commander Bai Yangcui, deputy general Yang Wenkui, guerrilla Yang Shengyuan, etc. 15 People come out and surrender.Huang Taiji still appointed Meng Qiaofang as deputy general.

Huang Taiji established six ministries and appointed Meng Qiaofang as the official of the Ministry of Punishment and the second-class captain of light vehicles. He is one of the traitors who surrendered to the Manchu traitors and obtained a higher official position so far. His status is even higher than that of Ning Wanwo.

Since Meng Qiaofang had never fought against Ning Haijun, he did not have any fear. He drew his sword and challenged Huang Taiji to fight. Under his guidance, his originally low morale slowly recovered.

Hauge looked at Huang Taiji and roared: "Warriors with yellow flags, follow me! Tear these bright dogs into pieces and let them know the consequences of angering the Eight Banners warriors!"

Jierhalang also shouted: "Eight Banners warriors, pull out your swords and drink blood!"

Huang Taiji's face was distorted, and he pointed at the Qing troops around him. His lips were trembling and he was about to give an order. However, this was not to rush to the capital immediately and fight the Ming army, but to say: "We are setting up camp!"

"what?"

Hauge looked puzzled.

As the saying goes, the butt determines the head, and the head determines the thinking.

Huang Taiji stood taller and could see more clearly. Of course, the most important thing was that he understood politics. The actions of Wen Tiren and those civil servants had left them with no way out, let alone whether Emperor Chongzhen and Lu Xiangsheng could survive. When they come back, even Cheng Shijie will never let them go.

If Cheng Shijie were allowed to enter Beijing, he would definitely sacrifice their flags.

Therefore, in this case, Huang Taiji analyzed that this was either a misunderstanding or there was something wrong with Wen Tiren.

In fact, Huang Taiji's analysis was very correct. This was just the last move done by the Red Lady and others to disgust Wen Tiren and the others. Not to mention that it was done by Cheng Shijie's people. Even if it was a private act by the generals of the Beijing camp, Huang Taiji would not take it into account. Compare.

He believed that Wen Tiren would give him a reasonable explanation.

In Zunhua City, more than 400 miles away, Ning Haijun arrived at Zunhua City from Yongping Mansion. Before Ning Haijun's artillery could be launched, the Qing army slowly retreated directly from Zunhua City.

Cheng Shijie looked at the Qing army moving farther and farther in the distance. His face was as gloomy as water, and he whispered: "The army of slaves... I am afraid that they have already attacked the capital and are approaching the city."

Wu Sheng, Zhou Ning, Zhang Yu, Li Xin and other generals looked livid and their eyes were bloodshot.

Especially Zhang Yu howled: "How could this happen? Bastard!"

Cheng Shijie looked bitter and sighed: "From the moment His Majesty decided to appoint Zhu Chunchen to lead an overwhelming army in the Northern Expedition, everything was doomed. The Ming Dynasty... is over!"

If Lu Xiang was appointed to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies, or even if Hong Chengchou was appointed, the outcome of the Ming Dynasty might not have ended like this. Knowing the battle situation after the Northern Expedition through Wang Chengen, it can be said that since entering the Monan Grassland, Huang Taiji has been luring the enemy deeper. This trick is not new. For more than 2000 years, nomads have used this method to deal with the Central Plains dynasties.

It can be said that even in a field situation, even if Guan Ning's army defected before the battle, as long as it fought steadily, the Northern Expedition army would not be in despair.

Cheng Shijie's eyes were full of sadness and worry.He no longer has much nostalgia for this dynasty that is rotten to the core and has broken the hearts of him and all the Ming soldiers who are still willing to fight bloody battles for it.It doesn't matter if he dies or dies, he can establish a new king, break the ancestral system, start over, and establish a stronger and more prosperous dynasty. However, his soldiers who are still loyal to the country in Gyeonggi, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Ningxia, they all how's it going?There are tens of millions of people, can they survive this catastrophe?
At this moment, Cheng Shijie accidentally saw the secret joy in Li Xin's eyes, as well as Zhou Ning, Zhang Yu and other generals. As the saying goes, kindness does not govern troops, and righteousness does not manage finances.

Regardless of their positions and perspectives, Chang Yu and Zhou Ning would all believe that they are to blame for this upcoming catastrophe.

However, Cheng Shijie didn't think so. The common people are the most innocent. Throughout the ages, the common people have been chamber pots. When they are useful, they use them. When not in use, they can throw them away at any time.

No matter how rotten the country is, or how much dirt the city has accumulated in the past 300 years, those millions of ordinary people will always be honest.

If Cheng Shijie really wants to borrow a knife to kill people, it is really difficult to borrow this knife. If Huang Guji enters Beijing, he will definitely buy people's hearts. As the saying goes, it doesn't hurt if you sell your land, they get this world for free. , Huang Taiji could even make hundreds or thousands of people king at will and let them fight against Cheng Shijie.

Cheng Shijie looked at Zhou Ning and others and said: "You are thinking too simply. If Huang Taiji enters the capital, how can he easily show his butcher knife? Even if he is asked to kill people, he will only kill ordinary people!"

"why?"

"The common people have no power!"

Cheng Shijie said calmly: "There is a saying that those who are aggressive are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of losing their lives. This principle works in the world, and it also works in politics. I don't bother to kill people with a borrowed knife. From now on, Don’t stop for a moment, attack the capital, no matter who it is or who stands in front of us, we will kill them!”

"My lord..."

"Stop trying to persuade me!"

Cheng Shijie said: "They are guilty. I will try them again in the future and let them die happily. It will be too easy for them. I will arrest them and enjoy the punishment of Lingchi one by one!"

Zhou Ning hurriedly wanted to persuade Cheng Shijie again, but Li Xin gave Zhou Ning a wink, telling him not to persuade him anymore. Li Xin had actually figured it out. If Emperor Chongzhen was still in the capital last year, Huang Taiji was actually also Knowing that it is impossible for him to win the country, he will follow the principle of grabbing and leaving and kill everyone in Gyeonggi, but now, he probably won't do that.

The capable troops in Beizhili have been exhausted, but there are still tens of thousands of troops in the Beijing, Tianjin, and Tang Dynasties. Even if their combat effectiveness is poor, they can resist for a while by defending the city, buying some time for King Qin's army.

But no!Except for Zunhua City and Guan Ning's army, which resulted in a bloody battle, there was no resistance at all in other towns. Once the Qing army arrived and surrendered, they did so happily!

Although Cheng Shijie didn't see it with his own eyes, just looking at the dense cloth sent back by the messenger made him have the urge to vomit blood.The situation these years has been that a group of tigers are guarding a group of fat pigs, blocking the wolves that are ten times more numerous than themselves. Not only are the fat pigs ungrateful, but they are also trying every possible means to bite the tigers who are guarding them, hoping to kill them. quick.

They don't think that these tigers are protecting them!No wonder Ning Haijun was tired. People's hearts are made of flesh. If they are injured too seriously, they will die. They have given up!

Maybe Li Xin is right, no one can support a building whose foundation has been hollowed out. The result of doing something knowing that it cannot be done can only be crushed to pieces by the collapse of the building.

Perhaps, this empire has really reached the point where it has to clean up its system and start over.I hope that the slaughter of Yicheng can really awaken a country. The shame of the fall of the imperial capital can awaken the bloody spirit of the Han people that has been suppressed since the Song Dynasty and has been suppressed for more than 700 years!Only by rediscovering this bloody spirit, and rediscovering the wildness and pride of being a lion, can they avoid greater humiliation and more terrifying crises!

Wang Yingxiong wasted no time. He walked for more than 30 miles for four hours, averaging five miles per hour. Of course, he couldn't blame Mr. Wuge. He came in a carriage and had just left the city for less than ten miles. His carriage was robbed by the defeated Qing army.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wangge was a coward and was so scared that the defeated Qing soldiers did not kill him. So Mr. Wangge waited for his servants to send him his clothes, then took a bath, and finally arrived four hours later. Arrive at the Qing army camp.

Huang Taiji warmly summoned Wang Yingxiong with a very good attitude.

Of course, when Wangge Lao told Huang Taiji about the accident in the capital, it was just an accident and they were responsible for their negligence. There were Cheng Shijie's followers in the capital. They used rocket launchers to launch artillery attacks on the Qing army, but they had left Cheng Shijie behind. All the hundreds of elites in the capital were captured to ensure that no more accidents would occur.

On the morning of September [-], the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji and Wang Yingxiong led the army towards Yangmen. It was only more than thirty miles. For the cavalry, it could arrive in half an hour at most. However, Huang Taiji walked very quickly. cautious.

Moreover, Guan Ningjun's ancestors Dashou, Zu Dacheng, Wu Xiang, and Wu Sangui were ordered to go at the front. Even if there was an accident, Guan Ning's army would be forced to go through the thunder.

Outside Chaoyang Gate, the vanguard of Guan Ning's army arrived, and the Qing army's troops formed a long snake formation, stretching for more than ten miles to prevent being surrounded.

As Guan Ning's army took over the defense of Chaoyang Gate, the Qing army's cavalry had already rushed to the city gate. They all reined in their horses and moved out of the way.Rows of soldiers holding long soldiers continued to pour over, stood behind the cavalry, and then separated to the left and right to make way for a road. Everything was in order, and everyone's hair stood on end.

I don’t know how many layers of soldiers had gathered. Finally, the surging torrent subsided. The leading cavalry general wearing heavy armor looked towards Chaoyang Gate, with a flash of light in his eyes. He suddenly pulled out his saber and shouted wildly: "Long live !Long live!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers, wearing cold armor, rode casually and shouted in unison: "Long live! Long live!"

The sound was like a thunderbolt, which almost dispersed the dark clouds in the sky. It even shocked the Jin gentleman, civil servants and generals who were waiting ten miles away from Chaoyang Gate. Their minds went blank. Their faces were earth-colored. The two waves were fighting. I don’t know who took the lead. Gudong. Gudong!

Countless former unruly scholar-bureaucrats bowed their knees and fell on their knees in the mud, including Zhang Pu and other rising stars who thought highly of themselves!

There was a roar outside Chaoyang Gate, like an ebbing tide. Thousands of officials, gentry, and scholars knelt down on the ground. Tens of thousands of people they had organized also knelt down at their signals.The rainwater flowed down the black gauze hats and official uniforms of the civil servants, glowing with blood.

In the cold rain outside the Chaoyang Gate, the civil servants and officials were kneeling all over the ground. They were the first batch of princes and ministers in thousands of years who knelt down in front of foreigners before their country was destroyed. They were even known as weaklings. Not even the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty!
This scene seems a bit familiar: "14 people all disarmed, and not one of them was a man!"

PS: Today is 918. Don’t forget the national humiliation. I saw that bastard from Douyin Oriental Screening was still there, haha. I cursed in the comment, but it was actually deleted with a warning. I’m so stupid.
