Shunzhi said that Mongolia had no way to retreat, not the Qing Dynasty... these are two concepts!
If he said that the Qing Dynasty had no way to retreat, the few ministers who were in charge of the political affairs must have something to say.
How could the Qing Dynasty have no way to retreat? Isn’t Beijing the only way out? Now they are all impregnable!
Moreover, there is an imperial city in Beijing, which is being renovated recently and will be turned into a bastion. There is also the Meishan Fortress in the Imperial City. There are no plans to rebuild the Forbidden City because when the Ming army successively attacked the Beijing Bastion and the Imperial City Fortress, the Qing warriors who defended it must have suffered heavy losses and were no longer enough to defend the Forbidden City. Therefore, Suk Saha, the nine-door admiral in charge of the defense of Beijing, chose Meishan, located within the imperial city and north of the Forbidden City, as the last refuge of Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty.
Meishan is quite high, 13 to 14 feet long, and its area is not large, so it does not require too many defenders. It is also close to the North Sea, making it easy to get water, so it can last for a long time.
So Suk Saha asked Emperor Shunzhi for approval to start building the Meishan Fortress. This fortress is a multi-story fortress. The bottom floor is between Meishan and Beihai. It has a wall of more than 200 feet long and more than 30 feet high. The northeast and southeast corners of the city wall just sit on the Meishan Mountain, with the North Sea to the west, the Forbidden City to the south, and the north wall of the Imperial City to the north. The three city walls are very thick, about four feet wide, made of rammed earth and covered with bricks, and the outer side is still sloped. To the west of the city wall is the second floor of the Meishan Fortress, which is built on the mountain of Meishan. Above the second floor is the third floor, above the third floor is the fourth floor, and above the fourth floor is the fifth floor. ...There are five layers of city walls in total, which are really impregnable!
Moreover, Suksaha also plans to transport several Hongyi cannons to the fifth floor of Meishan Fortress and fire cannons from a high position!
What a great retreat!
It’s enough to last until Emperor Taishu Duduo’s reinforcements arrive. If you really can’t wait, then...
But Great Mongolia is different!
There is no retreat for the Great Mongolia, and the cause started by Genghis Khan has reached its most dangerous moment!
Shunzhi glanced at his inner minister and commander of Qixue camp, Namu Shengge. He was born with the surname Boer, and he was an authentic descendant of the Golden Family!
"What the Great Khan said is absolutely true!" Of course Namsenge knew what to say, "Our Mongolian country has already lost the city of Beijing once, but we cannot lose it a second time! And those who came south with the Great Khan Tens of thousands of heroes on the grassland are waiting to avenge their ancestors! Now the opportunity has come, and those Southern Barbarian traitors have come to their doorstep. What skills do they have? Aren't they just mule soldiers shooting black guns? Can they compete with us Mongolians? How about riding and shooting? If our heroes on the grassland encounter such traitors who use black guns, they will kill as many as they encounter!"
This is so beautifully said! And it sounds like it relieves my hatred!
But the problem is that the Mongols brought by Emperor Shunzhi seem to be unable to defeat the "black spearmen" of the Ming Shuo Fang Army on the Hetao grassland, and they cannot defeat the "black spearmen" of the Cossacks on the grassland.
Moreover, neither the Shuofang army nor the Cossacks were equipped with flintlock guns, so they relied on matchlocks to defeat the Mongolian cavalry...
Emperor Shunzhi nodded with satisfaction, "Well said... we Mongolians can't ask the Nanmanzi to drive out Beijing for the second time, no, it's the capital city!
Moreover, the trick of the Southern Barbarian mule soldiers can be completely solved by relying on the riding and shooting skills of our grassland heroes. Besides, how many mule soldiers can they have? There can't be more than 10,000 people, right? I have brought 50,000 Mongolian cavalry to the Central Plains. Five of them will hit each other, and I will crush them all! "
"Great Khan," Sony knew of course that the Mongols were unreliable. "We can't just rely on the heroes on the grassland...our own elite soldiers must also go into battle!"
He has already begun to give advice to Shunzhi.
Now that the Brave King, the number one Batulu in Manchuria, the number one Batulu in the Pacific, and several other princes who can fight are not here, he has no choice but to do it.
"Your Majesty," he thought for a moment, "the Confederate Army has made it clear that it wants to send reinforcements to Texas, we can't send them up ourselves! The slave wants us to give him a way to do the same thing, and to do the same to him... Didn’t their mule soldiers come to Hejian Prefecture? We will use the Mongolian cavalry to trap the mule soldiers of the Southern Army, and then use them to lure Shi Kefa’s army north. After Shi Kefa goes north, we will send out the forward battalion, firearms battalion, The elites of Xiaoqi Camp and Qixue Camp went around Shi Kefa's back and cut off his retreat. Just like when the late emperor attacked Hong Chengchou! As long as Shi Kefa's retreat is cut off, he will starve to death!"
Not to mention, although Sony's ranking of Baturu is not very good, he still has some skills, and he quickly prepared a marching strategy for Shunzhi Khan that looked quite reliable.
The question now is whether those Mongolian warriors brought by Shunzhi are willing to do it?
"Great Khan, I have another suggestion." Sun Zhixian, a good servant of the Qing Dynasty, said, "The warriors of the Great Khan need a little encouragement! Although the south of the Yangtze River is good, the warriors may not be able to wait. Why don't they do it in the north? Pluck some grass and grain in the southern part of Zhili."
Shunzhi was a little unhappy when he heard this, "The southern part of Beizhili is the territory of the Qing Dynasty, so I'm still convinced! Let the Mongols rob it?"
"It's just a bit of grass and grain!" Sun Zhixian smiled, "How can it be called robbing? How can it be called robbing when the warriors of the Great Khan plow some grass and paddy?"
Not considered robbing? Shunzhi looked at the ministers under his command.
"It's not a robbery...how can it be called a robbery if the thing happened with Khan?"
"Yes, yes, that's not called robbing!"
"That is the glory of the Han people!"
"That's right, they couldn't even offer it in time!"
"If the Great Khan's warriors hadn't protected them, they would have been enslaved by the South Barbarians!"
...
The cold wind gradually picked up again, sweeping up the snow dust all over the field, making it look foggy from a distance. The sky gradually became gloomier, and dark clouds piled up layer by layer from a distance. The color was dark and very depressing.
Xia Wanchun reined in his horse and sniffed next to Lieutenant General Li Yuanyin: "The weather here in Beizhili is really cold. It's icy and snowy, and the rivers and streams are frozen... It's really a bitter cold place!"
Li Yuanyin was a native of Nanyang Prefecture in Henan Province. He was plundered by Li Chengdong when he was young, and was later adopted as his adopted son. He followed Li Chengdong to fight in the north and south. He visited countless cold and barren places, including Beizhili.
Li Yuanyin laughed after hearing the comments of Xia Wanchun, who came from the wealthy and warm Jiangnan water town: "This is Beizhili, which used to be at the feet of the emperor... It is considered wealthy. Although it is not as good as South Zhili, it is still the best in the world." A good place to wait.”
"What? Is this the first time?" Xia Wanchun looked disdainful, "It's so cold, I didn't see many rivers, and I couldn't even see a few villages... The bitter cold outside the pass is nothing more than this, right? ?”
"Hahaha, you Jiangnan people don't know what bitter cold is!" Li Yuanyin laughed, "Now that you have joined the army, you will go to many bitter and cold places in the future. Then you will know how good it is to be born in Jiangnan. "
Of course Jiangnan is fine! Jiangnan, together with the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong, is a good place to enjoy the dividends of the Age of Discovery!
A considerable part of the silver produced in the Americas went to the south of the Yangtze River and the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong. Moreover, the tax evasion system of scholars in the Ming Dynasty also promoted the great development of domestic trade to a certain extent - there were no tax cards everywhere! Of course the cost of goods circulation is reduced! Therefore, Jiangnan, Fujian and Guangdong, which reaped the dividends of the great voyage, absorbed the money from the mainland.
As for the reason, it is obvious that it is the cost advantage and quality advantage brought by large-scale production-because the overseas market is at a low level and there is a relatively abundant supply of agricultural products (the handicraft industry population needs to eat!), so the scale of the handicraft industry in Jiangnan, Fujian and Guangdong is completely Blast other places in China. Moreover, large-scale production and relatively sufficient competition have also made the quality of handmade products in Jiangnan, Fujian and Guangdong surpass those in other places.
Therefore, handicraft products with high quality, low price and sufficient quantity are used in Jiangnan, Fujian and Guangdong to absorb the world's silver to complete capital accumulation.
The completion of capital accumulation in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty and the series of policies adopted by Zhu Cixiang to promote the development of capitalism are certainly detrimental to the economic development and balance of other parts of China...
Therefore, it is not surprising that Xia Wanchun, who was born in the south of the Yangtze River, felt very depressed and desolate when he saw the most beautiful place in the Ming Dynasty.
Boom! Boom! Bah...
While Li Yuanyin and Xia Wanchun were talking, a burst of gunshots suddenly sounded in the distance!
