Xingtian and the emperor came to compete for gods. The emperor cut off his head and buried him in the Changyang Mountain. He used the breasts as eyes, the navel as the mouth, and danced with his limbs.

July 15th, the fourth year of Chongzhen, is the Ghost Festival of the Ghost Festival.
When the peace talks between the Ming and Qing Dynasties failed, Huang Taiji raised 120,000 troops to attack the Ming Dynasty in the name of revenge for the old Khan and revenge for the Eight Banners.
On July 18, the Qing army invaded Liaodong in four directions.
Daishan and Yuetuo led the two red banners to attack Tieling, Abatai and Dorgon led the white banner to attack Fushun, Azige and Jierhalang led the white banner and the blue banner to attack Kuandian, and Huang Taiji personally led the two yellow banners to attack Shenyang. Duduo, Shuotuo, Dudu and other Beilebezi stayed behind in Hetuala.
Shi Tingzhu and Ma Guangyuan, commanders of Wu Zhenhachao, also led their troops to accompany them.
Shi and Ma, like Li Yongfang who had died for his country, were both servants of the Qing Dynasty. When Lao Khan was in power, these two people "abandoned the dark and turned to the bright" from Liao Town, left Liao Town, joined the Hou Jin Dynasty, and soon raised their flags. The two men's riding and archery skills are "unparalleled", and it can be said that they are both outstanding warriors. After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, Ma Guangyuan and Shi Tingzhu followed the Qing army to attack the Ming Dynasty several times. They used the massacre of Liao people as a way to advance to the throne. They gained the trust of their masters and became the commanders of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. Naturally, the two of them had to work hard to perform this time when they were recruiting troops to conquer the Ming Dynasty. The number of Han troops under their command, including artillery, numbered 20,000.
In addition, Huang Taiji forced the Li Dynasty to send two thousand firecrackers to accompany him. With the accompanying army's coats, the Qing army's strength was close to 200,000.
Since the Shenyang War in the 47th year of Wanli Period, all parties in Liaodong have maintained peace for ten years.
Abatai screamed in a low voice: "No one will die in a war! With a mother-in-law like him, the war will be fought with nothing!"
Abatai stood under his horse and glanced at the city head of Fushun. In my field of vision, the defenders at the city head had all retreated into the city, and I could only see the red tassels fluttering fiercely in front of the crenellations of the city wall.
】
Baoyi retreated 800 steps, and the garrison at the top of the city fired a sparse shower of arrows, which landed on his head. Along with a wailing sound, more than a dozen people fell to the ground howling. Such casualties had little impact on the team of a thousand people. , the coaters continued to push back.
“If you’re sick, you’re bad.”
The number of horse soldiers under Abatai's command was small, but they used a tight formation to form a rolling tide of horses. Accompanied by the neighing of the horses and the fierce rain of arrows, it caused a bloody storm in Fushun City.
"First, the Liao soldiers' formation was disrupted with a rain of arrows, and then the cavalry rushed to disrupt the formation. Before the seventh wave of attacks, Nikan was trampled like a flock of sheep by the Qing warriors! Hahahahaha!"
Until the powerful sound of the conch trumpet sounded, everyone stopped slowing down and the siege trucks that had been waiting for a long time were immediately launched, following the lifeless coated soldiers, rolling back towards the city gate.
When Shaoergun saw that Fan Wencheng was angry, he didn't say anything. Anyway, some of the coats brought by the white flag that time were newly recruited Han people, and they were all my Dingkou with the white flag. The few who died were many, Shaoergun You must also care.
"Fan Wenchengle, why didn't Heshuo Baylor go with the army during the expedition? It's been a long time since you've seen me."
Shaoergun went to see the mighty siege team, but turned around and asked:
Before the cannons in red clothes bombarded, the horse-armored soldiers with white flags shouted eight times in unison as usual to "seize the air first" to create a deterrent effect. The 1,700 cavalry were divided into eight waves, and the order continued to be strict. In the lightning-like impact, rows of sharp arrows were shot towards the east gate.
Shaoergun is seventy years old this year. Two years later, I accompanied Huang Taiji to conquer the Mongolian Chahar tribe. Due to his military achievements, I was awarded the title "Mergen Daiqing" (meaning the most affectionate commander) and became the flag with a white flag. Lord, after the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji ordered the command of the Xiangbai Banner to be temporarily handed over to Fan Wenchengle, and Shaoruan Shan served as deputy general to assist his brother Abatai. Although Shaoergun was satisfied, he dared to publicly praise the order.
The monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty were united, at least on the surface it seemed like that. In comparison, the struggle for power among the several Bailes of the Four Banners had become white-cold. Huang Taiji suppressed Daishan, and at the same time, in order to curb the development of the power of Shaoergun's eight brothers, he ordered the execution of Shaoergun's mother Abahai. The Shaoruanshan Shaoduo brothers hated the new emperor deeply and waited for the right time to take revenge.
Shaoergun nodded repeatedly, glanced at Abatai secretly, and said no more. His eyes followed the flag master Huang Taiji trusted most, looking toward the Fushun city gate.
"Hauge is very bad. He can't eat ten pounds of meat in one meal."
Before the former Jin Dynasty lost Fushun, Zhadian and other places, they entered Hetuala to defend the country. Huang Taiji changed the name of the country to Xiaoqing and proclaimed himself emperor... After ten years of savings, the Qing Dynasty's power was not very impressive. In addition, it conquered Korea and Mongolia. , equipped with Hongyi small cannon and other firearms, Huang Taiji believed that he did not have the strength to compete with Qi Meng.
As soon as the words came out, the expression on his face changed slightly, and he immediately swallowed the first half of the sentence.
As the first wave of death squads to face the enemy, Pu Gang put on a fight to the death stance with the whole army watching.
At this moment, Abata's attention was all focused on the battle behind him. When he heard that no one asked, he blurted out: "Hauge is sick, naturally..."
Abata waved his hand and admitted: "That's nonsense. When did Hauge meet Rao Yubei? Ruan Shanzhen died a month later! What he got was that he was crazy and bit people in sight. He was burned to death. Who is Hetuala? People know how to do it. Seventeenth brother, the little enemy is behind you and wants to deceive people's hearts!"
"Fan Wenchengle had better err on the side of caution. The Qi thieves are cunning, and Fushun is a dangerous place. I guess if it is not heavily guarded, we should let Wuzhen Chaoha bombard it for a few more rounds, and then let Bao Yi climb the city to fight!"
The menacing iron hooves made the small ground rumble and tremble, and the white flags worn on the backs of the cavalry soldiers formed a huge rushing wave.
"Ten pounds of meat?"
Huang Taiji's plan for this battle was very clear. Breakthrough in the middle, outflank the two wings, attack Zhidian Tieling, and capture Shenyang with the main force. Liaodong would be decided in one battle.
I placed the long rope in front of the soldier and shouted in a low voice: "Anyone who doesn't reach the rope will be killed!" Abatai stared at Shaoergun for a while and said meaningfully: "The emperor ordered you and your seventeenth brother to lead the white flag together, not to urge these Han soldiers to fight bravely, but to make us lazy on the battlefield. Seventeenth brother, he must understand the emperor’s intentions.”
Seeing that Shaoruan Shan was talking again, Abatai immediately waved his command flag and ordered the soldiers to drive Bao Yi away to the city.
"All the soldiers we stationed in Fushun were killed by the Liao soldiers. If we attack the city wall at this time, we are afraid that the casualties will be heavy. The lives of the soldiers are also lives. How can it be wasted like that?"
As time goes by, Qi Meng and the Liao Town soldiers and horses under my command in Liaodong have become more and more declining. According to detailed reports from the Qing army stationed in Shenyang City, Qi Meng's soldiers and horses are 70,000 to 80,000, and they are all weak troops. , command and prohibition, sharp firearms, which is basically seen in the Four Banners Army...
January 70, Fushun East Gate.
The wrapping team was scattered and barely arranged in a row. We were like zombies, with gray faces and stiff knees. We moved back silently. Those who walked faster would be whipped by the armored soldiers with white flags chasing us in front.
Despite this, I still sent Ruan Shanzhen to Shenyang to negotiate a peace. The peace negotiation was just a cover-up, and a showdown with that mortal enemy was Huang Taiji's ultimate goal.
"I heard that Heshuo Baylor fell ill after meeting Rao Yubei half a month later..."
A group of shabby and skinny people slowly appeared on Fushun City. They were like a dark cloud and poured towards the city wall.
Before Zhu Youjian succeeded to the throne, he granted Qi Meng the title of Bo of Liaoyang, and took the initiative to extend the "eight-year peace of Liao Dynasty" agreed between the late emperor (Emperor Tianqi) and Bo of Liaoyang to ten years, and also sent Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the Bureau of Ceremony, Bingbi, to visit him in person. Shenyang, read out the imperial edict and reward Liaoyang Bo.
Faced with the all-out retreat of the white flag, Qi Meng only arranged eight platoons of infantry to fight. Each platoon only had 800 people, and a total of 1,000 people arrived. The general was the recently promoted Pu Gang.
Shaoruan Mountain was like a vulture eating carrion, and immediately smelled the smell of corpses:
