Otherwise, Dorgon died at the right time.

Now that the Little Ice Age has not ended, the entire Northeast entered winter in September, followed by a long cold winter that lasted until February of next year.

Therefore, even if the Ming army learned that there were changes in the north, it would not be able to change the situation at all, and it would even be difficult to move.

Relying on the two yellow flags, Emperor Shunzhi successfully captured Azig and trapped him directly in the mansion, making it difficult to move.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to take charge.

As soon as they came into contact with court affairs, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty impeached Hauge one after another.

In words, he abandoned thousands of Han Banners to stay in Shengjing, so that the Han Army and Eight Banners suffered heavy losses and were forced to become prisoners.

When Hauge heard this, he wanted to argue, but he was powerless. He couldn't get rid of this stain.

Only the Zhenglan Banner supported him. The two white flags belonged to Dorgon's forces. They looked down upon Hauge the most and immediately supported the emperor.

Therefore, Shunzhi took advantage of the situation and removed Hauge from his post, demoted him from prince to Baylor, and imprisoned him in the mansion.

As a result, the most threatening Haug and Azig were all imprisoned. Except for the veteran Jierhalang, Shunzhi could be said to have monopolized power and completely secured his position.

At this time, in the northwest region, Gao Yigong was also good at taking advantage of the weather, preparing to attack Hami City with tens of thousands of light cavalry.

Unexpectedly, the Hami people were also of Mongolian origin, with scouts everywhere and countless herdsmen, so the sneak attack leaked the news.

We had no choice but to attack the city.

Outside the city of Hami, camps were everywhere in a short period of time, which was frightening.

The clouds in the sky were extremely low, so low that one worried that they would fall onto the attic roofs of Hami City.

The small snowflakes in the sky were blown away by the wind, like catkins in late spring or paper money at a funeral, which added a bit of sadness.

Battle climbed onto the tower and quickly returned to the hall, his face extremely ugly.

He is a descendant of the King of Hami. Although the Yarkand people occupied the city of Hami, they were still Mongols. They had a city but it was difficult to manage it and they could only rely on tribes.

That's why Bat'er was able to take control of Hami and guard the easternmost territory of Yarkant.

"Down!"

As soon as they returned to the meeting hall, all the nobles started shouting.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You didn't even fight, so why did you surrender?"

Battelle cursed angrily: "The Khanate still has tens of thousands of troops in Turpan. If we surrender, what will we do in the future?"

"City Lord? Can we defeat the Ming army?"

"We have to fight!" Battle shook his head: "In this world of ice and snow, let's see how he attacks the city."

In this way, Hami City continued to choose to defend.

Gao Yigong sneered and looked at the low Hami city wall: "My infantry is here, what does the small Hami city mean?"

"Siege the city——"

"Bang!" The wooden ladder suddenly pressed against the wooden piles on the wall. A Hami sergeant hurriedly went up to lift it. Unexpectedly, an arrow missed his face with a "swish" sound. The soldier went to lift the ladder with his center of gravity in front. , as soon as his body became soft, he fell down from the wall.

At this time, a row of Hami army soldiers stepped forward with their bows in hand and heard the cry of "let go".

"Crackling..." The Ming army gathered under the wall suddenly screamed, but they still climbed the cold ladder.

At the city gate, a huge shield car came slowly, covering the collision of the car and the city gate.

"Boom——"

One blow, two blows, three blows, and more than ten blows later, the decaying city gate was smashed open.

When had the Mongols seen such a formation?

They were not good at defending the city either. How could they have expected that the city gate they had lowered would be breached? How many years had it been since the Western Regions had seen this kind of siege style?

This Han-style siege method once again became popular in the Western Regions.

After the city gate was opened, a row of musketeers came forward in response to military orders. They picked up their firearms and fired at the dark city gate again, causing smoke to rise.

The arrows flying around the head were scattered, hitting the helmets and shoulder pads with a clanging sound. Occasionally, some people were injured.

At this moment, the entire Hami city had been lost.

The shield bearers who followed behind immediately explored the way forward and quickly captured the entire street to cover the cavalry attack.

"Escape-" Battelle had no choice but to lead the remaining several thousand troops to flee.

Unfortunately, he forgot that tens of thousands of Qingqi outside the city had been eyeing this for a long time.

As soon as he left the city, he was immediately surrounded and his entire army was almost wiped out. He had no choice but to surrender.

With the victory of Hami City, the income of the entire Hami region has greatly improved. The moment they obtained their household registration, everyone was happy.

Gao Yigong laughed loudly: "It is indeed Hami City. With a population of 100,000, there is almost one mansion."

"Hami Mansion has been established today."

The small snowflakes in the sky were blown away by the wind, like catkins in late spring or paper money at a funeral, adding a bit of sadness.

Battle climbed onto the tower and quickly returned to the hall, his face extremely ugly.

"One Sword Dominates"

At this time, a row of Hami army soldiers stepped forward with their bows in hand and heard the cry of "let go".

"Crackling..." The Ming army gathered under the wall suddenly screamed, but they still climbed the cold ladder.
