"It's over, it's over, my Qing Dynasty is going to be gone, it's really going to be gone..."
Emperor Shunzhi's calves softened and he sat down on the floor. He was extremely sad and sad. He couldn't stop his tears and started to cry loudly.
What a great Qing Dynasty!
It only opened a few years ago, so why is it going to be gone?
It doesn't matter if the Qing Dynasty is gone, what will happen to me, the Qing Emperor? It doesn’t matter if I accept Zhu Cihong as my grandma or Princess Jianning as my mother-in-law. This emperor is capable of bending and stretching, and my son-in-law is also an emperor! Now I'm afraid that I won't be worthy of being an emperor, and I'll have to go to Nanjing to be some bullshit Prince Gong. Then I won't even be able to cry. No matter how much salary you get, you are always relying on others. Please come and taste Hedinghong at any time! I'm afraid that I will die young by then, and I won't be able to see the two emperors even if I die!
"Huang Ama, Huang Ama, please open your eyes and take a look! My Qing Dynasty is going to be gone! What should I do..." Shunzhi cried as he thought of Huang Ama Dorgon and Huang Ama. Tai Chi.
"Your Majesty!" The person who spoke was not Emperor Amadorgun or Huang Taiji, but Soniso Zhongtang. "I have a way for you..."
"If you have a way, just tell me!" Shunzhi shouted.
"Your Majesty," Sony said, "if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood!"
Shunzhi looked at Sony and suddenly smiled bitterly: "There is Qingshan... Do I still have Qingshan?"
"Yes!" Sony said, "The emperor also has a Beijing city within the pass. There are still 20,000 guards in Beijing city, and there are no less than 10,000 elite soldiers in Tianjin city. The Manchu and Mongolian troops scattered all over the place together can't handle it. Twenty thousand...and your Majesty also has the title of Great Khan of Mongolia.
In addition, although the emperor's uncle was defeated, his strength still existed. There was still a large area of fertile land outside the pass and millions of people... These were the emperor's green mountains! "
Shunzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The Qing Dynasty is almost gone...what's the use of talking about this?"
"Your Majesty, if the Qing Dynasty is gone, there will still be Mongolia! If the Emperor can't be an emperor, he can still be a Khan... In short, as long as the Emperor can get out of Tianjin Guards and return to Beijing, let alone Zhu Cixiang It’s okay to be a son or a grandson!”
As a grandson?
Then Emperor Zhu would be the same generation as Nurhaci, and Huang Taiji would have to call Zhu Cihong Uncle Zhu...
Shunzhi frowned, but his eyes turned to Zukefa, "What do you mean, the Ming Dynasty's envoy to persuade people to surrender?"
"Your Majesty," Zu Kefa smiled, "of course the Emperor of Heaven wants to invite you to Nanjing to enjoy the blessings, but you have to be a dutiful son to the Emperor of Heaven, patrol the borders and open up borders for the Emperor, and appease Mongolia. The Emperor may also like it. . But this city of Beijing is the old capital of the Emperor. What if you want to occupy it?"
After many years of management by Dorgon and Shunzhi, Beijing has become a fortified city. It will not be easy to conquer it by force.
Through interrogation of the prisoners captured in the Battle of Guanyintang, the Ming army also knew that there were still 20,000 guard camp generals in the city of Beijing. There were also many Hongyi cannons and Fran cannons mounted on top of the city, and there were food reserves in the city. It’s enough to last for several years.
Moreover, Beijing is still more than 200 miles northwest of Tianjin. The canal is currently blocked, and the Weihe (Haihe) water transport is also unable to be opened for the time being because several fortresses near Dagukou are still in the hands of the Qing army. Therefore, the army that besieged Tianjin Wei relied on purchasing food from the war zone to maintain its supply. However, the military food that the Ming army could raise in Beijing and Tianjin was ultimately limited and could not support a long-term war.
Therefore, the important task of taking Beijing "falls" on the shoulders of Emperor Zhu's Royal Highness, Prince Gong Fulin of Ming Dynasty!
But how could Fulin be willing to hand over the city of Beijing?
The city of Beijing is his biggest trump card!
However, he did not dare to reject Zukofa outright, so he had no choice but to cast a look at Soniso for help.
Sony frowned and was obviously thinking about this matter. Seeing Fulin's eyes, he had no choice but to say to Zukefa: "It's getting late. Your envoy might as well go to the hotel to rest first. Let's discuss it slowly tomorrow... ...There’s plenty of time anyway, right?”
Zukfa yawned and said with a smile: "I'm really sleepy... I'll take my leave now and come back to visit tomorrow."
Sony smiled: "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you."
With a smile on his face, he invited Zu Kefa away from Emperor Shunzhi's study. When he came back, he also brought Gong Adai, who was in charge of Tianjin's defense, and Gang Atai, another great scholar who followed Shunzhi on the expedition. , and Wu Weihua, commander of the Tianjin Guard Infantry Army, came together.
Let the monarchs and ministers get together and continue to discuss the funeral affairs of the Qing Dynasty!
The Qing Dynasty is definitely gone, but there are still a lot of legacy of the Qing Dynasty, and Emperor Zhu in the south cannot swallow them all in one gulp.
Qingyuan County, the capital of Baoding.
The empty city ushered in a "Qing Heavenly Soldier" who looked a little embarrassed no matter how they looked. The cavalry was walking in front. The white armor was covered with dirt and tattered. At least one-third of the soldiers didn't even have their tattered cotton armor. They just wore their own clothes and rode dejectedly on their horses. There were not many long-handled weapons in the marching team. Most of the soldiers only had a few short weapons and bows and arrows for one-handed use. The muskets and cannons almost disappeared. Following the cavalry were almost empty-handed troops. Most of them had no armor to protect their bodies. Their clothes were in tatters and they were exhausted. They were not in a team. From a distance, they looked more like refugees than an army.
As for the baggage vehicles, they have completely disappeared! The infantry and cavalry who were marching hard all carried a package on their backs, which contained some random food that they could eat, which was their rations along the way.
The master of this refugee army was Duduo, the great uncle of the Qing Emperor who was arrogant not long ago. He was also wearing white plate armor and riding on a tall foreign horse. He was surrounded by more than a thousand Bajala regiments wearing chainmail guards. He walked at the end of the team and finally maintained the majesty of the emperor's uncle.
Seeing his army entering the city in the afterglow of dusk, Duduo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qingyuan County is where the capital of Baoding is located, and it is always possible to collect some things and people... and the Ming army did not catch up. It seems that Nikan has led them to Tianjin Guards.
At this time, two or three knights galloped from the front and arrived in front of Duduo. The first one was Yue Le. Yue Le reined in his horse and was about to dismount and salute Duduo, but Duduo waved his hand to stop him: "They are all our own people." , No need to be too polite. Tell me quickly, how many troops are left?"
"Reporting to the Emperor's uncle, I have made a rough calculation. Although the losses of each department are heavy, except for the infantry and field Wu Zhenchaoha (artillery), their vitality is still alive. Not counting the more than 7,000 people taken away by Nikan. , our vanguard and Xiaoqi armies still have about 8,000 people in total, the Emperor Taishu's Baya La soldiers still have about 1,000 people, and the Shiya Infantry Army still has more than 5,000 people, for a total of 14,000 soldiers.
In addition, there are 14,000 coated slaves who just raised the flag... There are about 30,000 people following the emperor's uncle now. If Nikan's troops can escape, then we still have Thirty-six thousand people. "
More than half the loss...
Duduo feels so sad! The forward battalion he brought out had 8,000 people, the Xiaoqi battalion counted 14,000 people from Jierhalang and Chang Adai, and there were 2,000 Baya La soldiers.
Most of these 24,000 are from the Eight Banners! Now there are only sixteen thousand left, and Nikan has to be able to escape! The eight thousand people are definitely gone!
In addition, there are also many old Manchu and old Han troops in the field Wu Zhenchaoha and the infantry musketry Niulu. The two groups together number nearly 5,000... They should have been completely lost by now!
In other words, Duduo lost 12,000 to 3,000 core armed forces of the Qing Dynasty in this victory in the battle of Dian.
Even if we deduct the losses of Jierharang and Chang Adai's troops, there are almost ten thousand people... How many strong Manchu men are there in total outside the customs? It would be nice to have 30,000 yuan after a full fight, but now one-third is gone in one go!
In addition, Duduo's infantry also lost 20,000 soldiers... This is no small matter! Behind these 20,000 people are 20,000 banner farms, involving at least millions of acres of land!
