"Kill the Queen Mother, save the Emperor, protect the Qing Dynasty..."
A louder shout reached the Deshengmen area in the southwest of Shenyang City, and reached the ears of Empress Dowager Taisong, who was sitting on a small pony in the city gate, breathing heavily.
The Queen Mother was wearing a tailor-made suit of silver-white plate armor that combined Chinese and Western styles. She was holding a piece of bread in one hand and a wine gourd in the other. There were beads of sweat on her charming face, and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat. There is still a spot of blood on it, which should be splashed with someone else's blood. Her helmet had been taken off, and her long wet hair was hanging loosely on her shoulders.
Beside her, there was a group of soldiers wearing cotton armor. Everyone was sitting on the ground, eating and drinking.
Judging from their appearance, it was obvious that they had just come down from the killing field. The Empress Dowager Taisong has liked to compete with her elder sister Wu Liangha since she was a child, so she has been strengthening the battle formation skills in recent years and asked Daishan to teach her on behalf of Amma.
Dai Amma has followed Nurhachi to kill people and set fires since he was a child. Of course he is good at martial arts, and he has also taught a large number of sons who can fight, so he should be a good teacher. Therefore, under his guidance, Taisong, who was already able to go to the battlefield, has greatly improved his martial arts. Now he can wear plate armor and lead his men to fight with Hauge and Amin.
While his martial arts improved by leaps and bounds, Taisong did not forget to strictly train the Mongolian cavalry and flag and drum coats who were loyal to him. Under her supervision, her 5,000 Mongolian cavalry and 2,000 flag and drum coats were already quite elite infantry and cavalry. Even against the white-armored and red-armored soldiers of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, they are still capable of fighting.
But the power of this battle is almost used now!
Ever since she was attacked by Hauge's troops outside Shenyang City, she had been fighting with various enemies for almost two hours with her men, and finally captured a small piece of territory in the area of Deshengmen in the southwest of Shenyang—— This site includes the solid triangular fort outside Deshengmen, the Tiande hollow fort between Deshengmen and Tianyoumen, and the Mongolian barracks inside Deshengmen.
Taisong's main formation is located in the city gate cave of Deshengmen. Her Zhenghuang Banner, the main flag of Mongolia (an eagle flag with a yellow background), is flying on the tower of Deshengmen City Gate - the purpose of Taisong's people to fly the flag is to tell the supporters in Shenyang City that she is The Queen Mother was still in Shenyang and asked them to come and gather as soon as possible.
When the flag was just raised, 1,000 Mongolian cavalry (the Mongolian cavalry placed at Huaiyuan Gate) and three to four thousand Han troops, Korean troops, and Baoyi troops came to join them one after another, and some family members of the Baoyi troops also ran away. Come to join us (of course the Mongols do not live in the city, they have to graze, and ordinary Han and Korean troops live in the countryside), but no bannermen from Zhenghuang Banner Manchuria came!
What made Tai Song even more annoyed was that the slogans in the city of "Kill the Queen Mother, Save the Emperor, Protect the Qing Dynasty" became louder and louder... and they were all shouted in Manchurian!
Needless to say, Zhenghuang Banner Manchuria has now betrayed the Queen Mother Taisong and participated in the chaos in Shenyang City.
However, the Empress Dowager Taisong, who had gathered less than 4,000 Mongolian soldiers, more than 1,000 coated soldiers, and about 3,000 Han and Korean troops, with a total of 8,000 soldiers, refused to withdraw from Shenyang.
She didn't want to take back the castle, which had already fallen to seven or eight tenths, but she wanted to rescue her sons Fu Ning and Fu An (born with Dai Shan), and then escape together. Although she knew that Funing had long been resentful of her as a mother-in-law, she also had good intentions!
If Funing and Fu'an want to spend their lives peacefully, they must become ordained and become monks...and it is not a bad thing to become monks. They can cultivate the afterlife and achieve bliss (Tai Song is a Mongolian way of thinking, so they don't think it is a bad thing). The monk is miserable), what’s wrong with that?
If Funing still wants to establish a separate country in Liaodong and become emperor, he will have to be killed soon... Taisong, a mother-in-law, certainly doesn't want to see her son die a violent death!
After finishing the pancakes, Taisong put away the wine gourd, stood up, and shouted: "Prepare your horses!"
"嗻!"
Seeing how hard their master fought, the Mongolian warriors and armored soldiers who followed Taisong had no choice but to respond, then put away the gourds, picked up the weapons, and prepared to follow Taisong to fight again.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves, and a Mongolian cavalry galloped from the direction of the Mongolian military camp. When he arrived in front of Taisong, he loudly reported: "Queen Mother, there are tens of thousands of cavalry coming from the direction of the palace..." And flying the emperor’s golden dragon flag!”
Taisong gritted his teeth, clenched the mace in his hand, and said loudly: "Let's go! Follow me to save the emperor!"
...
Funing did come to Taisong, but he didn't need Taisong to save him because he was now the powerful emperor.
Because Tan Tai and some of the Zhenghuang Banner's white-armored soldiers defected, Funing had the power to leave the palace to grab more sword handles, so he quickly took the Zhenghuang Banner's Xiaoqi Battalion into his hands!
There are currently 250 white-armored soldiers in Shenyang City, and 1,000 red-armored knights. Don't underestimate these 1,250 people. They are all elites who can put on three layers of armor and fight on horseback.
It is the essence of the entire Manchuria Zhenghuang Banner!
With the allegiance of these people, Manchuria Zhenghuang Banner was firmly controlled by Funing.
After Funing obtained more than 1,200 Zhenghuang Banner elite soldiers who were loyal to him, Hauge and Amin, who launched the Shenyang Gate Seizing Rebellion, also led their troops outside the palace gate.
To be honest, these two people were a little embarrassed by the fighting power of Queen Mother Taisong. They originally wanted to capture Taisong in one fell swoop, and then go to the palace to capture Funing... The "kill the Queen Mother, save the Emperor, and protect the Qing Dynasty" was just a slogan and couldn't really be done.
The Empress Dowager Taisong was the best at catching the ones alive and tied them up and sent them to Zhu Youjian. Of course Funing can't be saved, so it's best to pack it up with his mother and give it to Zhu Youjian. And the Qing Dynasty cannot be saved...it will die!
But Queen Mother Taisong is not easy to catch!
Although this woman was a bit silly, she was quite capable of fighting. She personally led her 500 Mongolian armored cavalry with the yellow flag into battle, killing many white and red armored soldiers with yellow and blue flags!
Moreover, the cannon soldiers covered with flags and drums were also very powerful. They dared to fire at close range and once beat the soldiers with yellow and blue flags on their backs.
However, the bannermen of Zhenghuang Banner in Shenyang City were incited by the slogan of "Kill the Queen Mother, Save the Emperor, and Protect the Qing Dynasty", and they joined the rebel troops with yellow and blue flags to attack Taisong together.
At this time, Taisong's army couldn't hold it anymore and was compressed to the area around the Triangular Fort outside Deshengmen, Deshengmen, Tiande Hollow Fort and the Mongolian barracks.
However, Hauge and Amin were unable to capture the territory controlled by Taisong, so the two of them decided to capture Funing first.
But what the two of them didn't expect was that Funing couldn't be caught either!
Because Funing took advantage of the conflict between the two of them and Taisong's army and took control of the Zhenghuang Banner's guard army and Xiaoqi camp, with more than 1,200 soldiers.
To make matters worse, the Manchu soldiers and civilians with the Yellow Flag in Shenyang City, as well as the troops with the Yellow Flag and the Blue Flag brought by Hauge and Amin, were all incited by the slogan "Kill the Queen Mother, save the Emperor, and protect the Qing Dynasty" Get up... They saw that the little emperor had been rescued, and he was also accompanied by an army of soldiers and knights under the Yellow Flag, riding a tall horse, looking like a young hero. They all seemed to see the hope of the Qing Dynasty. The mountain began to shout long live.
Now Hauge and Amin did not dare to attack Funing anymore, so they had to dismount their horses and pay homage to Funing, and they no longer dared to regard themselves as Emperor Ama.
When Funing first came into power and became full of enthusiasm, he immediately announced that he was going to capture the "Demon Queen Taisong" who was corrupting the Qing Dynasty.
So he led a large group of troops to the Mongolian military camp, and as he marched towards the Mongolian military camp, people continued to join him. When they arrived at the school field outside the Mongolian camp, they faced the soldiers and horses of Queen Mother Taisong. , the number of people was almost 20,000, it was really a huge area, not only crowded with half of the school grounds, but also filled several surrounding streets!
