Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 304 Disposal
It was precisely because of several battles inside and outside the city of Yingtianfu that Daming basically stabilized the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, preventing the Qing army from crossing the Yangtze River again, which is equivalent to relieving Ming's worries about the future.

It was precisely because of this that Tangning had the energy and courage to mobilize elite troops to make an unexpected expedition to Liaodong, and immediately took the initiative strategically, forcing the Qing court to dispatch a small number of troops to the north for rescue.

However, due to lack of preparation and laborious expedition, the Qing court failed again, making matters worse, and there were no more soldiers to send to Liaodong for rescue.

This time, it was another major victory that changed the situation of the war, and even played a decisive role in some aspects.

It was this battle that forced the Qing court to consider retreating outside the pass.

After all efforts were fruitless, the Qing court could only admit its failure, and then let Tang Ning lead the army back to Shanhaiguan through an exchange of interests, while the Qing court led all forces to retreat outside the pass.

So far, Ming has returned to the territory of Chongzhen, and the situation has changed greatly, because internally, there is no threat from Li Zicheng, and externally, the Qing court has been severely damaged, and it will definitely not be able to pose a threat to Daming in a short time.

So after moving the capital back to the capital, the hearts of the whole country have settled down a lot.

For most civil servants and military generals, they are already very satisfied. They even felt that there might not be any war with the Qing court. King Guangming will turn to the inside and take over the last internal trouble, the Daxi regime left by Zhang Xianzhong. drop or die.

But obviously, Guangming Wang Tangning thought differently from many people. He didn't think that expelling the Qing court outside the pass was a victory or an end.

For him, only when the other party really perishes can it be considered the end.

Therefore, it was unexpected for many people that Tang Ning suddenly sent an army of 60 to [-] troops to attack Liaodong less than two months after reaching a settlement with the Qing court.

Some people even said in private that Tangning was aggressive, because in their minds, the Eight Banners were dominated by cavalry, and the white mountains and black waters in the northeast were their main battlefield, so they could better display their combat power.

On the contrary, most of the Ming army were infantry, and the few cavalry were not as many as the Eight Banners, and their average combat quality was not as good as that of the opponent.

Under such circumstances, it is a bit fanciful to want to destroy the Qing court.

If it fails to destroy the Qing court in the end, but completely angers the other party, it is likely to be like the era of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji.

Taking advantage of the cavalry, they constantly harassed and harassed Daming, robbed property, and plundered people, making Daming, who had finally recovered its territory, exhausted.

However, this situation did not happen after all. The new army occupied a large area of ​​Liaodong with almost force, forcing the Qing court to send several troops to deal with it, but it still failed to stop the new army from advancing.

It was not until Duoduo was defeated and died that the Qing court no longer had any hope of defending Shengjing, so it decided to abandon the city and retreat to the north.

Obviously, it was already a bit late at this time, and the new army did not hesitate to gather a small number of cavalry to chase after it, dragging it down through constant harassment until it was surrounded.

And the timely appearance of King Guangming also eliminated the Qing court's desire to make a final struggle.

Just like many civil servants and generals in Ming Dynasty had a psychological shadow on the Qing army, instinctive fear, many people in the Qing court also had a psychological shadow on King Guangming and the new army.

As the saying goes, one thing falls one thing, and the final winner is Tangning, the invincible king of light.

If he failed to conquer the Liao Dynasty, he would definitely bear a lot of infamy, but now, he came back with a big victory, and wiped out Daming's confidant, Man Qing, that is an inexhaustible feat.

In the face of such feats, even though there were still many people who had objections to Tangning in their hearts, they had to put aside their thoughts, and thus respected Tangning even more.

Outside the city, Zhu Yujian held a grand welcome ceremony, and the faces of the soldiers of the new army couldn't help showing joy, and the fatigue of the long-distance travel disappeared a lot.

On the other hand, the Qing court who came back with the army looked blank, and some couldn't help but mourn.

This is indeed a torment for them.

Winners are celebrating, losers are secretly licking their wounds.

When the mighty team entered the city, they were cheered by the people of the whole city.

"King of Light, King of Light..."

However, Tangning didn't show up in public, but sat in one of the carriages. He would not be as ostentatious as Zhang Xianzhong in such a mixed occasion.

After all, in the long war, some of the German weapons of the new army were also lost.

Although it can be confirmed that there are very few stray bullets, it is far from enough to train a superior sniper.

But we have to be on the safe side in everything, what if an unscrupulous person meets a natural marksman?Or even if you are not a sharpshooter, just shoot casually, what if you get caught in a daze?

He, Tangning, didn't want to be killed so vaguely, it would be too embarrassing.

Although it was a pity not to see King Guangming in person, it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the people. It seemed that the people of the whole city were mobilized. The avenue leading to the palace, both sides of the street were occupied by the people, and they kept sending the team into the palace.

After returning to the palace, Zhu Yujian sent someone to prepare a dinner, obviously he was also very happy.

After a few days of excitement, the excitement has subsided a bit, and the next step is how to deal with the civil and military officials of the Qing court.

After discussion, a policy was basically set, that is, for those high-level Manchurians who had a relatively large influence in the Qing court, such as Dorgon, Daishan, Jierhalang, etc., they would be given idle jobs to stay in Beijing.

In fact, it is a disguised form of house arrest to prevent them from having real power, and it is also to prevent them from having second thoughts. Although most of them have good abilities, they cannot be reused for the time being.

In the Qing court, apart from the Manchurian officials, the most influential ones were the Han officials who surrendered. Among them, there were quite a few important figures in the Qing court, who contributed to the successful entry of the Qing court, as well as the guidelines and policies after the entry. Played a great role.

These people have made great contributions to the Qing court and are also very capable. Many of them are rare talents.

For example, Fan Wenchen, Hong Chengchou, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and so on.

However, the greater their contribution to the Qing court, the greater the harm they did to Ming Dynasty.

As Han Chinese, their behavior is traitorous and unforgivable.

In order to serve as an example to others, these people must be dealt with severely.

In the end, some important civil servants and military generals composed of some Han Chinese in the Qing court, headed by Hong Chengchou, Fan Wenchen, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming, were all beheaded at Caishikou.

Most of the other Hanchens with lower influence were exiled or imprisoned.

Since the Han officials were dealt with first, such a heavy punishment made the civil servants and generals of Manchuria who had just surrendered panic for a while, fearing that Tangning would not keep his promise and would deal with them more severely in the future.

But obviously, this worry is unnecessary.

After Emperor Fulin of Shunzhi abdicated, he was conferred the title of Prince of Manzhou, Hauge was conferred the title of Prince of Shun, others such as Dorgon’s Prince Rui and Daishan’s Prince Li remained unchanged and still enjoyed the title of prince, but only were given some slack.

The reason for this was because Tangning knew that although these people surrendered with the fall of the Qing court, they might not be convinced in their hearts.

If they were given important positions from the beginning, there is no guarantee that they will not do something.

Give them some free time to stay in the capital, on the one hand, they can sharpen their temperament, and on the other hand, they can take a good look at them.
