Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 301
Tangning's sudden appearance undoubtedly made the escape route even more uncertain. The entire Qing court seemed to have suddenly become dead silent.

The factions that were still arguing before suddenly lost interest in arguing again, as if they all knew that if they couldn't work together at this time, none of the methods of the three factions would work.

What they are thinking now is to stop and take a good rest before fighting the new army.

Or continue to speed up and flee north, and then be caught up by the new army and fight to the death.

In the end, they stopped at a slightly favorable location, and then began to rest, and the few remaining supplies began to be distributed, so that everyone had a rare full meal.

Most people seem to realize that this should be the last supper.

I was already hungry, so what I ate should be delicious, but it tasted quite bitter.

"Rumbling..." The new army and the Mongolian army from the Ming Anda Ritual Department gathered in three directions towards the Qing army.

Following Tangning's order, Wu Sangui drew more than [-] troops to the west side of the Qing army's camp. The other groups also adjusted their positions slightly and surrounded the Qing army from four directions.

However, none of them rushed to attack.

After more than half an hour, another team appeared with a rumbling sound. Everyone knew that Tang Ning had arrived.

The new army was excited from top to bottom, while the Qing army was agitated to varying degrees.

They even felt a little regretful that they didn't listen to Dorgon's advice just now, and took the initiative to launch an attack before Tangning arrived, so they might still have a certain advantage.

But it's too late to say anything now.

They instinctively regarded themselves as the weaker side, chose to take the initiative to defend, and also wanted to take the opportunity to replenish some energy so that they could perform better in the next battle.

But now, with Tangning's appearance, the pressure she brought was immeasurable. It couldn't be made up for in less than an hour's rest.

Tang Ning's team came from the south, but after checking the wind direction, Tang Ning went straight to the east.

Seeing the actions of Tangning's troops, the Qing army instinctively strengthened the defense to the east.

However, Tangning did not immediately order an attack, but only sent more than two hundred horses forward.

What is strange is that besides the sitting cavalry on the backs of the two hundred horses, there is also a basket on each side behind the cavalry.

There seemed to be something still in the basket, but it was a little far away, so I couldn't see what was there.

These two hundred or so riders rushed out of the formation of the new army and began to slowly approach the Qing army camp.

Although there were only more than two hundred riders, its strange shape made the Qing army a little confused for a while, but instead became vigilant.

Because Tangning would often come up with some outlandish tricks, who knew what new tricks the two hundred or so riders who came out of nowhere would play.

When the two hundred or so riders approached about a hundred feet away from the Qing army, they took the initiative to put up a few white flags to show that they had no malicious intentions, and then continued to approach.

But the Qing army did not dare to relax in the slightest, and continued to watch closely until the two hundred or so new troops stopped at a distance of about [-] feet, and then started a new trick they thought Tangning had come up with: throwing paper.

This is why Tangning observed the wind direction. The wind is blowing from the west, so he led his team to the east.

More than two hundred riders stood in a row with a distance between each other, and then grabbed the papers from the basket behind them, and threw them directly into the air, like throwing paper money to the dead.

Of course, these are not paper money, but sheets of square paper with densely packed characters written on them.

Sheets of paper were scattered in the sky, scattered immediately, and then drifted and danced with the wind, flying towards the Qing army camp.

Finally, some paper fluttered into the Qing army camp, and someone reached out and grabbed it unconsciously.

Someone immediately sent some collected papers to Dorgon, Daishan, Jierhalang, Xiaozhuang and others.

There were indeed words on the paper, and it was still written in Manchu. They checked and found that the content written on the collected paper was the same.

So they began to study it carefully, and then they understood.

In fact, this is a letter of surrender. This method of surrender is quite unique. It is not to write a letter to the general to recruit the general, but to spread the letter of surrender widely. It seems that everyone should see it, including common people.

The surrender letter shows from several aspects that the Qing court has no way out, and only surrender is the only way out.

The tone of the letter of surrender mainly came from two people, one was Hauge, and the other, of course, was Tangning.

Hauge said that through his direct contact with Tang Ning, he knew that the King of Light was not a bloodthirsty person. Since the King of Light raised his troops, he had never heard of any massacres by the King of Light.

And Li Zicheng's Chuangjun, Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Army, and even the Qing Dynasty's Eight Banners Army, which one has no record of large-scale massacres?Whether it is for the army or civilians, a lot of innocent blood has been stained on their hands.

In a cruel war, this is inevitable, but the new army has no record of massacres. From this, it can be seen that the new army led by King Guangming is indeed an army of benevolence and righteousness.

Only such a teacher of benevolence and righteousness can return to the heart of the world, and it is also worthy of the Eight Banners Army's surrender.

Hauge also said that Tang Ning, the King of Light, had promised that after the Manchurians surrendered, as long as they sincerely served Daming, they would not only get the right to live in the pass, but also get land.

Those who make meritorious deeds will also receive rewards and enter the Great Ming Dynasty Hall...

Haug talked a lot about the benefits of surrender, and at the same time said that if he did not surrender, the entire Manchurians would probably be exterminated, which is undoubtedly a betrayal of their ancestors.

After all, if one could have chosen to survive, but in the end chose to let the entire race perish, that would be the sinner of the entire race.

Behind the letter of surrender was Tangning's tone. He first affirmed what Hauge said, and then emphasized that if the Qing government persisted in refusing to surrender, then he could only order the extermination of the Manchurians.

Because, on the land of Ming Dynasty, a race that resists to the end is not allowed to exist, so it can only cut grass and roots.

Of course, if some were willing to surrender, Tangning would also welcome them.As for other diehards, they will be punished by the Nine Clans.

Apparently, Hauge and Tang Ning each played a role, one playing the bad face and the other playing the bad face, to let the top officials of the Qing court and all the soldiers and civilians understand the benefits of surrender and the serious consequences of not surrendering.

Because the letter of surrender was widely distributed, not only the high-level officials of the Qing court knew about it, but also the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army and the common people who accompanied the army knew about it through word of mouth, and there was no way to block the news.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion, which was uncontrollable, because even the Eight Banners Army, which was in charge of controlling order, began to discuss.

It seems that the appearance of this surrender letter had a huge impact on the Qing court.

Sure enough, if Tangning didn't make a move, it would be effective once she made a move. This new trick, which appeared for the first time, succeeded again.
