The Ming army started from Zhangjiakou and Chengde to provoke the Mongols, and finally fought all the way to the city of Shengjing. There were also some literary dramas in the middle of the diplomatic declaration (that is, the declaration that the Manchu Qing also participated in Mongolia’s violation of the Ming embargo with Xuanda’s traitor merchants. It was because of this direct reason that Daming attacked Jinzhou immediately after taking Tongliao), all these actions took a total of two to three months.

Of course, the imperial court in Nanjing had enough time to react, so since the siege of Jinzhou began, Zhu Shuren himself had already traveled north to Beijing, where he personally took charge of the overall situation.

The city of Jinzhou was broken, Guangning and Haizhou were taken one by one, and Shengjing was surrounded before Haizhou was taken. Zhu Shuren was aware of every step of this in the first place.

On the Liaoxi Corridor, the urgent courier of [-] miles will travel back and forth every few days to send the latest progress of the front line back to Beijing.

Now, knowing that Hauge actually chose to escape, taking half of the main force of the Qing army, detouring eastward around the Liao River Basin, and retreating to Ninggu Pagoda, Zhu Shuren immediately realized what Hauge was thinking:

"Does this guy want to be Wu Sangui himself and let his younger brother Shunzhi be Chongzhen? Let the 'first emperor' die for the country, and then he can start a new life in Ninggu Pagoda? He can directly ascend the throne and become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty without having to bear the name of regicide?
I got the highest political benefits, and I also kept a considerable part of the main force of the Qing Dynasty by the way, so calculating. "

After all, Shengjing was the capital of the country established during the Nuerhachi period, and it was the foundation of the puppet Qing and even the later Jin regime.The Qing government did not need to sacrifice an emperor to give up Beijing. Anyway, Beijing was not left to them by the ancestors.

But surrendering Shengjing without a fight would definitely be a disservice to the ancestors, Nuerhachi and Huang Taiji.People all over the world will poke him in the back and call him a prick.

An emperor who died for the country was used as a sacrifice, and the others turned their grief and anger into strength, inheriting the legacy of the late emperor and continuing to resist, at least it can be regarded as an explanation.

At this moment, Zhu Shuren even somewhat understood why Chongzhen didn't dare to run away when no one helped him take the blame.

After trying to understand Hauge's motives and Shunzhi's situation, Zhu Shuren couldn't help discussing with the staff and generals around him, discussing how to deal with this situation.

Because all the famous generals have been sent out for actual combat, there are not many generals left in Beijing. Cao Bianjiao stayed in the city because Huang Zhan was seriously injured and disabled a few years ago, and now he seldom leads the army himself. Zhu Shuren just call him.

After clarifying the situation, Gu Yanwu, the civil servant, took the lead to answer: "My lord, since Hauge is selling the king to survive, if we let him escape to Ninggu Tower and continue to consume it with me, it may take a long time.

The fact that Shengjing is easy to get this time is because the Liaohe River connects to the Bohai Sea, and the power of the Bohai Sea has been controlled by my Ming Dynasty for many years. Although Shengjing cannot be said to be close to the Liaohe River, the city is not far from the Liaohe River.Our imperial army marched into Liaodong, and the logistics and supplies were able to keep up smoothly.

However, if the Qing army retreated to Jilin in the future, and the Song and Nen river systems were not connected to the Huang and Bo, it would be extremely difficult to supply food and grass for the army to pursue.

From this point of view, it is better to send an envoy to try to persuade Shunzhi to surrender the puppet emperor, to know the advantages and disadvantages, let him know that the court will not kill him, and it is still valuable to use him to disintegrate the resistance of Hauge's subordinates.If he is willing to surrender, He Chou Manqing can't completely subdue him, and he doesn't have to search and kill him slowly in the white mountains and black waters. "

When Zhu Shuren heard the words, he was not in a hurry to draw conclusions, but smiled without saying a word, and looked at Cao Bianjiao, who was the representative of the general.

Cao Bianjiao knew soldiers, but he didn't read much other history books. He scratched his head and said, "Your Majesty, what Mr. Gu said may be reasonable, but if you capture a frail and young false emperor with no prestige, you want to restrain Haoge in the future." , the general also felt that it was impossible.

To put it bluntly... Inappropriate words, Yingzong was captured by Oala back then, and he went to the border gate to call for the door, but none of the generals at the border gate listened to him.After Yu Shaobao embraced the new king,... In short, as long as Shunzhi surrenders today, even if he is still alive, Hauge would like to do so, he will definitely stand on his own right away! "

Only then did Zhu Shuren comment: "It is right to be lenient in anticipation of the enemy. Brother Ting Lin, you can't easily think about the problem in this regard."

Gu Yanwu quickly said he was taught: "It's a pedantic position. The humble position is just thinking that when Qin Shihuang destroyed Zhao and broke through Handan, he gave Zhao Wangqian preferential treatment, in order to prevent Zhao's survivors from supporting Zhao Jia, Zhao Qian's brother, and continuing to resist Qin. .

Although Zhao Jia was still embraced later, because Zhao Qian was not dead, Zhao Jia could only be called Dai Wang and not Zhao Wang. After all, this appeal was not enough, and he was still destroyed by Qin six years later.

During Yingzong's time, Beishou under Oirat's control did not endanger the foundation of Ming Dynasty, but it was more because Oara and our Daming were far apart in strength and weakness.But now, between my Daming and Jiannu, the offense is strong and the defense is weak, and the strength gap is far greater than that of Qin and Dai.The weak may not be able to turn over the king of a strong country, but the king of a weak country is likely to have miraculous results. "

After listening to Gu Yanwu's analysis, Cao Bianjiao also shut up for a while, and finally thought of another point of rebuttal, and couldn't help but say:

"Even if what Mr. Gu said is feasible, it only means that I, Ming Dynasty, should make an forced landing on the Shunzhi puppet emperor, and I cannot kill him. But even if I want to make an forced landing, I can force my landing after breaking the city. What is there to send envoys to negotiate?
My Ming Dynasty now has strong ships and strong guns, and attacking a city is like finding something out of a bag.As long as we can fight in the field to wipe out the enemy, it doesn't matter if there is one more city wall or one less city wall.Therefore, Sun Tzu's saying of "encircling it with ten methods and attacking it with five methods" has no effect. With a large number of red barbarian heavy artillery, two or three times as many troops can storm a fortified city!

That being the case, there is no need to worry about "killing one-third of the soldiers and not leaving the city." The soldiers have fought for the court for ten years in order to achieve the final victory.

Now Shengjing is right in front of you, and the city has hoarded the wealth gained by looting and extorting for decades!If there is no blood to open the city, why not seal the knife for three days and take back what the tartars have robbed for decades?Do you still have to admit their thieves?If you want me to say, let's go to the city, and finally take care not to kill Shunzhi, and capture the prisoners alive instead. "

Zhu Shuren's eyes lit up, and he felt that a reckless person like Cao Bianjiao was more reliable than a stable person like Gu Yanwu.

Indeed, the forced landing of Huairou in Shunzhi does not mean that the city cannot be attacked.There is too much wealth accumulated in Shengjing City, which is different from the past, even richer than Beijing City, which was abandoned by the Qing army.

Beijing City was retreated by the Qing army in an organized way, and all the supplies were moved away. This time, Shengjing didn't have time to rush to transport it, nor did it give up in an organized way, so it was directly surrounded.

What else is there to hesitate about!
Of course, it is impossible for Hauge to be completely unprepared. During the farming truce in the past few years, the high-level officials of the Qing court must have considered the issue of "the possibility that Shengjing may not be safe in the future". ancient tower.

However, the private wealth of the people, especially the "Ten Kings Pavilion" left by the Manchus in Shengjing, and the private properties of so many royal palaces that have been sealed since Nuerhachi, cannot be transferred in advance on a large scale.

If you don't kill Shunzhi, you should kill the dignitaries who live in Shiwangting!Just keep one Shunzhi (not never kill, just keep it for a few years, you can't kill before Hauge dies)

Shunzhi himself is a puppet, and he doesn't know soldiers, and he may not have much blood on his hands, so he can put it aside for the time being.

But who among the Qing princes and county kings who lived in the Shiwang Pavilion were not generals leading troops?How many blood debts of the Han people have been stained on their hands?It is only natural that these people are extinct!
"Gu hesitated, so there is nothing to say, let Li Dingguo and Wu Sangui attack the city with all their strength! After the city is broken, the false emperor is not allowed to be killed, and the inner palace is not allowed to be disturbed, but other cities and inner cities can not be sealed for three days!

The outer city where the Han people live is not allowed to kill at will, and it must be blocked inside and out at that time!Also beware of people who are full of people in the inner city fleeing to the outer city and mixing with Han people to pretend to escape!
Therefore, it is best to break through the outer city first and then the inner city. The time between the two breaks is slightly longer. Even if you have the strength to break through the inner city immediately after breaking the outer city, you are not allowed to break through immediately, and don't give opportunities to fish in troubled waters! "

……

Zhu Shuren's order was sent to the Shengjing army within three or four days.

During this time, Li Dingguo and Wu Sangui were mainly preparing for the firepower of the outer city. By the time I believed it, several parts of the outer city wall had actually been blown to pieces.

After confirming the prince's request, Li Dingguo quickly came to his senses and understood the prince's true deep-seated thoughts, so he resolutely implemented it.

After five or six days of bloody fighting and killing thousands of Qing soldiers, the Ming army broke through the south gate of Shengjing Outer City on the evening of the ninth day of November.

The army of Daming poured into the outer city, searched and killed alleys. Because the sky was too dark, they could not take advantage of the situation to attack the inner city continuously, leaving the Qing army in the middle of the night to escape and shrink.

At dawn the next day, the remnants of the Qing army in the outer city had naturally been searched and killed by the Ming army.The Ming army then took the time to demolish some residential areas, brought in siege artillery, re-established positions inside the outer city and outside the inner walls, and dug pits and ditches in order to bombard them.

At this point in the battle, Shunzhi was already so guilty that he tried to send envoys to negotiate with the Ming army.

But the outer city was destroyed, and there was only one inner city left. How could the Ming army talk to him?Li Dingguo has already ordered to go down, watch the night carefully, and shoot when he sees the Tartars, and don't think about capturing the prisoners alive.

Therefore, none of the two groups of people sent by Shunzhi got the chance to speak up.

Together with his brother-in-law Tong Guogang, they also sneaked out of the inner city under the protection of the guards, and wanted to approach Li Dingguo to negotiate with Li Dingguo near the Ming army camp with a white flag, but they were shot dead by Ming army sentries on the way.

Even if Tong Guogang has Kan Ze's eloquence, what a fool if he can't even see Cao Cao's face?
On the fourth day after the outer city was breached, the inner city of Shengjing was also breached.

One hundred thousand warriors of the Ming army swarmed in like wolves and tigers. The number of soldiers of the Ming army was larger than the population of the Manchus in the inner city, and they were simply crushed.

As soon as the civilians in the city saw that the Ming army was red-eyed, they also picked up hatchets, hunting knives and bows to resist.

Manchus generally have the living customs of fishing, hunting and woodcutters, so they will not always have farm tools at home, but hunting tools. When mobilizing civilians to resist and participate in the war, the combat effectiveness is indeed stronger than that of the Han civilians in the Central Plains.

Han civilians were forced to resist, and most of them could only use hoes.At least they can fight the cuirassiers with hunting bows.

Seeing this, the Ming army also switched to shotguns one after another, because the Manchurian temporary resisters on the opposite side were all unarmored, and it would be too wasteful to use slugs with a low hit rate and great lethality. Increased by ten times, just gave up the armor-piercing ability, just right to kill unarmored soldiers.

Some officers in the army who had followed Zhu Shuren for more than ten years couldn't help but feel a little lost when they saw this scene, and recalled the past - only when Zhu Shuren was just leading the army, he would be able to deal with the weak troops of the Gezuo Fifth Battalion. Use shotguns to bully the opponent without armor.Later, facing Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, after the enemy's old battalion came up with armor, the shotgun was restricted.

Unexpectedly, after more than ten years of fighting, the final battle of the official was back to basics, and the Manchus who took up weapons temporarily were also without armor.

But no matter whether you are armored or not, male or female, old or young, as long as you pick up a weapon, you are the enemy of Daming.

After two days of brutal street fighting, more than half of the tens of thousands of people in the inner city of Shengjing were killed.

Li Dingguo personally led troops into the Chongzheng Palace, sealed the pseudo-imperial palace, killed all the eunuchs, and captured Shunzhi and his party.

Several places in the Chongzheng Palace were piled up with firewood. It seemed that Shunzhi had thought of setting himself on fire before breaking down the city, but in the end he was afraid of death and did not dare to do it. Until Li Dingguo came to kill him, he personally held a torch and stood on the firewood pile. inside.

Li Dingguo held a sword, surrounded by soldiers, and told them to abandon their weapons. He also said that as long as he surrendered to Daming, he would be spared and his concubines and children would not die. If he dared to commit suicide, his wife, children and other relatives would be killed. Kill them all together.

Shunzhi originally thought that if the envoys sent by Tong Guogang and others to negotiate were dead and failed to bring back the terms of negotiation, if it fell into the hands of the Ming army, his death would be a hundred times worse than burning to death.

Now I heard that you can live without death. A 16-year-old boy has no backbone, and he has never seen blood, so he was captured as soon as he hesitated.

Li Dingguo was relieved after all this was done, and he had someone seal up the treasures of the Chongzheng Palace, and they had to be transported back to Beijing and handed over to Prince E for disposal.

In comparison, the errands Wu Sangui got were less famous than Li Dingguo's, but more affordable.

The main reason is that Wu Sangui let the Qing soldiers enter the customs after all. This stain will always exist, so the final strong attack on Shengjing may not allow him to enter the palace and capture the false emperor.Before the battle, Zhu Shuren ordered restraint, and Wu Sangui knew it well.

Therefore, after Wu Sangui entered the inner city, he just went to Shiwang Pavilion and other places, slaughtered the Manchu princes, county kings and their families who stayed in Shengjing, and looted all the treasures of Shiwang Pavilion.

This part of things can be used as a labor force, or it can be divided privately, but the big head still has to be taken out, and the top and bottom are filial, and they cannot be monopolized.

Because this battle is a battle that must be won, and giving you the opportunity to fight and assigning it to the poor man is the trust of the leader, and you need to reciprocate.

Zhu Shuren asked his confidant who sent the military order to bring him a password, which was not written in words. It was nothing more than asking Wu Sangui to kill people before Shunzhi surrendered. Those who died in battle, not after Da Ming surrendered.

It's not that Ming Dynasty didn't want to give these sinners a fair trial, Ming Zheng's punishment, sentencing them to death or cutting them in half, so as to appease the anger of the people all over the world.

But since we still want to use the signboard of Shunzhi to attack Hauge who fled to the Songnen Plain and other places to fight guerrillas, we should try our best to downplay the issue of trial and surrender, and kill them on the battlefield, so no one has anything to say.

Wu Sangui was very clear about the strategy given by Lord E, and also knew that it would be difficult for these people to live until the battle subsided, so he was happy to do this kind of work, anyway, he could grab a piece of it by himself, and the gold, silver and jewels were considered labor costs.

Two Manchu princes, three or four county princes, and a bunch of family members of princes who were not in Shengjing, all fell under Wu Sangui's butcher's knife.

If Shunzhi asked afterwards, it was Wu Sangui who killed him on the battlefield. Daming treated the prisoners preferentially, and he could surrender with confidence.

PS: Anyway, I have written about breaking Shengjing, and the Manchu Qing section is almost finished, so let’s leave it at that.

I will take a day off tomorrow.Need to entertain a few relatives——

These old 6 have also learned how to behave. Knowing that May Day is very congested in Hangzhou, they actually chose the root unit to apply for May Day duty instead of joining in the fun, and then staggered the holidays with the mainstream holiday crowd, and came to Hangzhou after May Day...

In addition, some book friends are asking about the new book recently. I can only say that the new book is currently scheduled to go back to write the Three Kingdoms, but the specific outline and beginning have not yet been reviewed. Outlines and openings for several other eras, but all rejected.)
I hope everyone understands that the main thing I signed with the website is a long-term contract with basic recommended positions (some great masters have a guaranteed long-term contract, but mine does not include a guarantee, and I have no money if I write poorly. The meaning of my long-term contract is to ensure new books Small recommended positions below Sanjiang can go to three or four rounds. The treatment is worse than the guaranteed long-term contract, and the constraints are less than the guaranteed long-term contract, but they still have to obey the website's instructions.

If it’s a temporary contract with one book and one signing, it’s only guaranteed to be a trial push, and the follow-up will depend on the number of followers, and compete with other books in the same period. If you push it, you will be killed forever, and there will be no day to stand up and be exposed)
Because after I signed the long-term contract, I wrote two bad books, none of which were selected as high-quality works, and I also got involved with the editor who recommended me to sign the long-term contract, so now I have to listen to the instructions. (When I just finished writing Fudge Liu Bei, I had a lot of power to speak. The main reason is that Fudge Liu Bei is a masterpiece, so I can freely choose the topic of the next book)

Therefore, I sincerely apologize to those readers who leave messages everywhere asking me to write about unpopular dynasties: those who are in a long-term contract need to prove that they still have the value of being used by the website before they are eligible to choose unpopular topics by themselves.If someone like me wants to write about unpopular dynasties, he must first prove himself with a high-quality work, otherwise I can only go back to the most stable old path.

As a person, you can't implicate others, and you can't implicate the guarantor of the contract.
