Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 293

Dorgon did not expect Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang to be assassinated in this way, which made his plan come to naught.

He still didn't give up, and sent someone to contact Li Dingguo, who was in charge, but Li Dingguo's attitude towards them was much colder.

From the very beginning, Li Dingguo was opposed to having anything to do with the Qing court. Now that Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang died because of this incident, he naturally hated the Qing court even more.

If it weren't for the fact that many people under his command clamored to avenge the Eight Great Kings, Li Dingguo would have liked to lead his army northward and fight all the way to the capital to complete the unfinished business of the Eight Great Kings.

As for some people who clamored for revenge emotionally, he naturally would not agree. At this time, if he started a full-scale war with the new army, wouldn't he become another Li Zicheng?

Although both of them were surnamed Li, Li Dingguo didn't want to become Li Zicheng's second.

So for the next time, he will not go anywhere. On the one hand, he will calm people's hearts, on the other hand, he will strengthen military training, and promote the development of Sichuan, and let the wind and rain outside.

At this time, Tangning personally wrote a letter to Dorgon, to the effect that the matter had come to an end, and the Manchu captives in his hands outside the pass were of no use to him.

The area outside the Guan is sparsely populated, and it's not a place where Tangning will stay for a long time, so...

The threat in the letter was obvious. Tangning's patience was reaching its limit. At any moment, the place where the Manchurians lived for generations outside the pass would be turned into a wasteland.

He, Dorgon, can take revenge. Aren't you wearing a pair of pants with Emperor Hongguang now?He believed that Jiangbei was returned to the Hongguang court, and he had already formed an ally with the Hongguang court.

Since you're an ally, if Tangning is playing tricks outside the customs, you won't take out your anger on the innocent people in Jiangbei, you might as well go to Jiangnan.

Dorgon suddenly felt that he was clever but was mistaken by his cleverness, and he lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot.

However, Dorgon also knew that since Tangning had written him this letter, it meant that there was still something to talk about, otherwise he would take immediate action.

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Dorgon took the initiative to lower his posture and seek contact with the new army.

Naturally, Tang Ning also knew that killing people would not solve the problem, even though it was said that because Dorgon had disclosed his connection with Emperor Hongguang, it was morally inappropriate to attack the people in Jiangbei.

However, once they are cornered, who can care so much?
Anyone who is a little smarter knows that Emperor Hongguang is just a puppet supported by the Qing court. As a puppet, he can naturally be discarded and sold at any time.

However, since Dorgon's cleverness failed, he naturally had to pay a certain price. The price was that Tang Ning asked him to publicly execute Emperor Hongguang and the princes with Zhu surnames in the capital.

Tangning's request made Dorgon slap himself in the face.

Just a few days after he helped Emperor Hongguang up, he had done enough, and in the end he was executed on trumped-up charges. Wouldn't this let the whole world see Dorgon's face clearly and make people laugh?

However, if you fail, you will fail, and if you fail, you will have to pay a price, and Tangning's request is not too much.

Therefore, on the first day of June, Dorgon beheaded more than [-] people, including Emperor Hongguang, Zhu Changhao, King Lu, Zhu Cixiang, King Jing, and Zhu Youfen, King Heng, all at Caishikou on the grounds of treason.

So far, the Hongguang puppet regime, which had just been restored for less than a month, has been destroyed in this way, without any chance of rebirth.

When the news spread, the whole world was in an uproar. The civil and military officials of the Hongguang Dynasty were shocked, and everyone was in danger. The entire capital was in a terrifying and bleak atmosphere for a while, which was more ferocious than the assassination of the New Army Action Team.

They didn't know if the Qing government would suddenly arrest them all and slaughter them all.

Their lives are in the hands of the Tartars, and it is much easier for the Tartars to kill them than the new army.

The complete annihilation of the Hongguang regime also relieved the worries of the Yingtianfu regime. The people in the north also became more loyal to the regime in the south, and they completely saw the face of the Qing court.

Tangning's goal has been achieved, and the two sides continue to contact each other.

At the request of Tianfu, the Qing army retreated outside the pass unconditionally, and they were not allowed to plunder the property of the people inside the pass, nor could they take away a single person, nor could they take away the Han Eight Banners who had surrendered after entering the pass.

In return, the new army would return the occupied Shengjing, retreat to Shanhaiguan, and release all the prisoners of the Eight Banners.

Such an exchange condition can be described as very fair, and the Qing court could not find many reasons to reject such a condition.

So after arguing about some details online, the two parties basically reached an agreement, but they didn't trust each other in the handover.

But in the end, Tangning took the initiative to make some concessions, saying that all of her side could retreat into Shanhaiguan first. The Guanningjin area was used as a buffer zone for both sides, and no troops were allowed to be stationed. The prisoners outside the pass would also be released first.

However, in order to prevent the Qing army from breaching the contract, the new army will take away all the weapons and war horses in Shengjing City.

In this case, if the Qing government defaults on the contract, the new army still has the strength and time to take Shengjing down again.

In the end, the Qing court also agreed to this condition, because no better way could be found.

The Qing government sent people to monitor the withdrawal of the new army from outside the pass, and confirmed that all the troops under Tangning's troops had withdrawn to Shanhaiguan.

The personnel organized by the Qing court began to withdraw from the pass one after another, preparing to enter Liaodong via a route planned by the Chahar Ministry.

The Qing troops under Duduo, Mandahai, and Jierhalang were the first to retreat, because they were the farthest away.

They first retreated to the capital, and then united with all the Manchu Eight Banners gathered in the capital, as well as the Mongolian Eight Banners who were still loyal to them, and the Han Eight Banners who were loyal to them before entering the customs and were willing to leave with them.

In addition to the regular soldiers, there were also some family members, totaling about 16. They left the capital full of sadness, and then headed towards Liaodong through the planned route.

Compared with the nearly 20 elite soldiers when they entered the customs, in just two years, the Manchu Qing elite lost nearly half, and most of them were lost in the hands of the new army.

But it's useless to say more now, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to come in after leaving the pass I finally entered.

But there is no way not to retreat. The result of persevering is that the entire Manchurians will perish, and the price will be too high.

After more than ten days of marching, the Qing government personnel who lived and slept all the way finally saw their capital, Shengjing, but at this time, Shengjing was riddled with holes, and there were traces of the war everywhere.

Seeing Shengjing City like this with their own eyes, many people were filled with grief and indignation, and there was a burst of silent pain that had no place to express it.

However, Dorgon and other leaders did not have time to think about these things. Although the two sides basically fulfilled their respective commitments according to the conditions, no one knows what will happen tomorrow.

Therefore, they have a lot of things to do, to appease the people as soon as possible, rebuild Shengjing City, and strengthen the defense...

In the pass, after learning that the Tartars, who had ravaged the Central Plains, had finally withdrawn, the whole country was excited, which also heralded the official recovery of Ming Dynasty.

Tang Jianguo, who lived in Yingtian Mansion, and the elders of the Ming Dynasty from the Chongzhen and Hongguang dynasties were all excited and full of joy.

The Great Ming Dynasty has finally been recovered in their hands, and they can be regarded as worthy of the late Emperor Chongzhen.

Tang Jianguo immediately organized and held a grand memorial ceremony to comfort the late emperor, the ancestors, and the countless people who died...

Next, is the matter of moving the capital to the capital.
