Many people are arranging a retreat, including the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, the surrender of the army, or the surrender of ministers.
However, thanks to Emperor Shaowu's long-standing reputation of hating traitors, many nobles in Nanjing were disgraced and denounced the frontiers, which made many people tremble.
The word "Ming traitor" was shouted by Emperor Shaowu one after another.
The reason why they are not traitors is because there are many Mongols in the Ming army and they cannot be left behind.
In fact, they moved their families very quickly, and then they couldn't wait to deceive the businessmen and buy the land deeds from them. Grab another handful before leaving.
Time passed little by little, and on July 20th, Azige and others from Shanxi and Luck Dehun and others from Henan also led their troops back to Beijing.
They also expressed approval of the policy of preserving vitality.
It is impossible to sacrifice the lives of the Eight Banners for the sake of the place inside the pass. It is not worth it.
Just like the Mongols, wouldn't they still live for hundreds of years after leaving the pass? Lin Dan Khan died just a few years ago.
Dorgon no longer hesitated and scattered a large amount of gold, silver and jewels, and forced 20,000 Chahar Mongols and Khalkha Mongols to go south to protect Beijing.
This is also his balancing act.
After repeated marches south, not only the Manchu Eight Banners suffered heavy losses, but also the Han Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners were shattered, and almost every family wore mourning.
Most of the Manchu Eight Banners incorporated were prisoners and belonged to the Chahar Mongolia. There were only 117 Niulu, with more than 20,000 people.
At that time, Huang Taiji extended the establishment of flags to the entire Mongolian region and divided Mongolia into Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia.
Inner Mongolia is Chahar Mongolia, and Outer Mongolia is Khalkha Mongolia.
However, this kind of flag and alliance is just an administrative organization, not the Eight Banners.
In other words, the Mongolian Eight Banners are actually no longer Mongolians. They are already subordinate to the Eight Banners. They are superior to others. They garrisoned various places and the capital during the Qing Dynasty. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, they also became Manchus.
Considering the balance back outside the customs, Mongolia is the arm of the Qing Dynasty, so it is necessary to let Chahar and Khalkha leave to fill the vacancies and consume their troops so that they will still be obedient in the future.
Dorgon's so-called blocking of the Ming army was not just talk. In fact, he wanted to use the Ming army to consume the strength of the Mongols.
Both the Mongols and the Ming army suffered losses, which was what he was most happy to see.
At this time, the number of Eight Banners soldiers and horses gathered in Beijing, plus Mongolian soldiers, exceeded 80,000.
This is the second time that the Manchu and Qing Dynasties gathered so many soldiers and horses after entering the Pass. For a time, the people and horses gathered together, and there were war horses as far as the eye could see, giving people a feeling of conquering the world.
Dorgon knew that this was an illusion.
Even if he defeated the Ming army with so many soldiers and horses, judging from the experience of the past two years, the Eight Banners disciples must have suffered heavy losses.
And those who benefit are most likely the Mongols.
He glanced sideways at the Mongolians in the camp, and saw that they were big and round, eating meat and wine. Luck Dehun and other Eight Banners nobles were constantly drinking, and it was very lively.
The marriage with Chahar Mongolia has been for many years, and no family has one or two Mongolian concubines.
"We are having fun chatting now, but in the future we may not know how fast we can swing the knife!"
With a sigh in his heart, Dorgon made up his mind to weaken his troops.
On the other side, Chen Yongfu learned that Luck Dehun had abandoned Zhangde Mansion and returned to the north, and he immediately knew that something big had happened.
Soon after, the imperial court sent a military order, ordering him to assemble his troops, go east along the Yellow River, and meet Li Jizu in Shandong.
Once he was able to assemble the army, he would be stronger and it would be much better for him to fight alone in Beizhili.
Secondly, it is easier to prepare food and grass, and the canal is the most convenient and quick way.
In this way, after collecting the ships and traveling, it took about half a month to arrive in Jinan, and at this time, the imperial court's baggage had just arrived.
In this way, plus the 20,000 people in Henan, the number of troops in Jinan exceeded 140,000.
"Brother Chen!"
Li Jizu held Chen Yongfu's hand tightly and said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for many years, how are you?"
"Thanks to His Majesty's blessing, it's not bad."
Chen Yongfu was also filled with emotions.
Since staying in Luoyang, he did not participate in the emperor's battle to conquer Nanjing. When he ascended the throne, he was forced to stay in Henan, not to mention.
It took a year and a half for the two to finally meet.
"You fought well in this battle!"
Chen Yongfu said with emotion that he treated Li Jizu equally and never relied on his seniority.
What about the Henan General Soldier during the Chongzhen period? My current position is higher than yours, and Ming Dynasty is the only ruler in office.
"Oh, it's not my fault, I just followed the steps."
Li Jizu told the truth.
As early as when he was in Tongguan, he had taken refuge with the emperor. Up to now, from a guerrilla general to a commander, his military ability can only be said to be quite satisfactory, and all he relied on was obedience.
It is precisely because of this that he is extremely cautious in fighting, taking every step and never making mistakes, because he understands that he has no ability to turn the tide.
Chen Yongfu glanced at him and said,
Capturing Wu Sangui and surrendering Guan Ning's army, regardless of whether it was poisoning or anything else, these are all achievements, yet he is still so humble.
It's really unusual.
When he saw Wu Sangui, Chen Yongfu suddenly realized and glanced at Li Jizu: There is really nothing wrong with being modest.
He didn't even fight a fierce battle, so he just got the credit.
"This is the commander of Yanzhou Guard Zhang Qi, and this is the commander of Qingzhou Guard Ren Qi——"
"This is Fuhou, Luoyang stays behind, Chen Yongfu——"
Li Jizu opened his mouth to introduce two thick and black men.
"The last general has seen Fuhou——" Zhang Qi Renqi hurriedly bowed his hands in salute.
The titles are all of the highest quality.
"This is Li Yingren, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, after Ning Yuanbo Li Taibao (Li Rusong)."
"I have admired you for a long time!" "I will finally see Fuhou."
This time, Chen Yongfu was a little more proactive.
The Li family in Liaodong can be said to be as famous as thunder.
However, he looks like he is only in his twenties, so why is he the commander-in-chief?
Chen Yongfu felt a little depressed.
He climbed for ten or twenty years and fought many battles before he became the commander-in-chief of Henan.
However, he glanced at Li Jizu and realized that the command was only valuable now, and the general soldier was no more than that.
I met people from the Beijing camp one by one, such as Li Dingguo and Gao Yigong, who were rumored to be favored by the emperor.
At this time, Chen Yongfu was quite helpless: "Why are they all named Li?"
However, when discussing the Northern Expedition, Li Jizu only left Chen Yongfu:
"His Majesty and the Chief of Staff sent a message, asking us to put prudence first and not to rush forward greedily and lose our troops."
"In addition, according to Jin Yiwei's news, as early as two or three months ago, the Manchu Qing Dynasty gradually returned their family members to the north, and only those soldiers and horses are still there."
"It seems that the Manchu Qing is really going to be returned outside the customs."
Chen Yongfu was filled with emotions and was deeply moved for a while.
After recovering a little, he cheered up and said: "In this case, according to His Majesty's wishes, we will go north along the canal, and we will not travel more than thirty miles a day."
