Chapter 21: The Battle of a Stone

Wu Sangui said: "Lord Regent, now the situation of our army is extremely critical, only your Eight Banners Army can carry out rescue, please don't wait and see, what do you want, as long as you can help me defeat these rogues, recover my Ming Imperial Capital, and so on to save the Son of Heaven, I can ask the Son of Heaven to beg him to give the land of Liaodong to your country, in order to repay your army for receiving troops and helping to suppress it." ”

When Dolgon heard this, although he was not very satisfied, he could accept it a little, and said, "That's it? ”

Wu Sangui also knows that just by virtue of this, it is impossible to impress these jackals, only a person like him who has been fighting against these jackals on the front line all the year round can understand that although these alien Tartars do not know poetry and books, they are absolutely insidious and cunning to the extreme, especially these who are fighting hard at the top, there is absolutely no faith, morality, morality, these nonsense things, but now, Wu Sangui has been cornered, only to make this decision, and seek skin with the tiger, he is not those ministers in the cabinet, he can have countless resources, he now, To the west is the occupied former imperial capital region, and to the east is the Tartar region, which has been at war for many years, so to speak, isolated, what can he do?

Just drink to quench your thirst.

Wu Sangui said: "Then what else do you want." ”

Dolgon has lived in various conspiracies and tricks all year round, especially the eight emperors and traitors in Shanxi, who have long been familiar with it, and naturally it can be seen that Wu Sangui is really psychologically broken, and he is willing to accept any conditions proposed by his side.

At that moment, before Dolgon came together, he and Hong Chengchou, Ning finished the strategy that the traitors came up with, and made the following requirements: the Ming borrowed troops from the Qing Dynasty to exterminate Li Zicheng's rogue together, and afterwards, the Qing Dynasty asked to be a brotherly country with the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty as a brother, and the Ming Dynasty as a brother, and when everything is completed, the Ming Dynasty will pay the Eight Banners soldiers a "reward" of how many silver taels.

Fortunately, Dolgon did not say the word "year coin", otherwise, Wu Sangui did not dare to accept, now he can only wait, if he can return to the imperial capital, and then find a way to save a prince and make him the emperor, and then he can rightfully clean up the old mountains and rivers, for Wu Sangui, assisting the new monarch is also a good way to invest, but his wishful thinking, naturally as early as Dolgon's calculations, is it, Dolgon will talk about credit?

At this time, Dolgon's words can be said to have rewritten the whole of China, and even the world map, since then China has moved towards an anti-science, ****** road to death, until 1949, can be regarded as the arrival of chaos.

At that time, he said: "You are willing to avenge the old master, and the righteousness is commendable." Give the leader the best of the best. The current affairs of the first emperor do not need to be said today, and they cannot bear to say it. But in the past it was an enemy country, but now it is a family. When our soldiers enter the customs, if they move a single grass or a grain, they will be executed by military law. Thou shalt tell the inhabitants not to be alarmed. Then he instructed Wu Sangui: "Erhui, you can order Erbing to tie your shoulders with white cloth as a number." Otherwise, what can be distinguished by the same Han people? Fear of manslaughter. After speaking, let Wu Sangui immediately return to the customs to prepare to respond, and the Qing army officially entered the customs.

So, after waiting for a while, the gate was wide open, and Dolgon ordered, and his younger brother Azig led his main force of the white flag, more than 10,000 cavalry, to enter the Shanhaiguan from the north gate and outflank the Shun army, while another half-brother Duoduo, led the main force with the white flag, entered from the south gate, and he himself took other troops to enter from the main gate, and those coats, old camps and the like, stayed on the Huanxi Ridge, which was very close, and in this operation, the Han infantry of King Sanshun and Shen Zhixiang basically followed behind, transporting artillery, They are not needed yet.

Of course, the red flag and the red flag belong to Dai Shan and Yue Tuo father and son, Dai Shan is old, and the combat power is not strong for a long time, so he stayed in Shengjing (Shenyang), what the world rarely knows is that the so-called Eight Banners, in fact, the number of internal armies is also different, that is, Niu Lu is different.

Because of Nurhachi in his later years, he favored his three young sons, that is, he had just led the troops into Shanhaiguan, Dolgon, Azig, and Duoduo, Azig was the owner of the yellow flag, and Duoduo led the yellow flag, and in the future, after his death, the pro-army commanded by himself was all given to Duoduo, but another flag was given to Dolgon, that is to say, the soldiers and horses led by these three brothers were the three largest banners, and the total strength (Niu Lu) exceeded the other flags of the Eight Banners.

This is why, Dolgon can now be the regent, because the old slave died early, it is very likely that he also died at the hands of his own son Huang Taiji, this kind of preference for the younger son, it is clear that he wants to pass on the position of the Great Khan to Dolgon, but it is a pity...... When he died, Dorgon was only a big man, and he was no match for his adult brothers.

But now, Dolgon survived his brother through fate, and he can finally become the regent with the strength in his hands, so he can naturally be high-spirited, and the goal is Li Zicheng.

……

Li Zicheng naturally doesn't know all this, at this time, he is also very happy in the face of victory, after all, he now has the manpower and material support of the entire North China region, although he can not effectively control all the state capitals, and the power is down to the county seat, but after all, there are thousands of years of tradition, there are always landlords and gentry who are willing to take the initiative to lead the party, or the businessmen who are not high in status and need a protective umbrella to burn the cold stove, provide gunpowder, grain, send pigs and sheep into the barracks as rewards, and people are people who have entered the imperial capital, The businessmen in the surrounding area know that if they have a little brain, they should stammer, and the benefits can be eaten for a lifetime.

This kind of speculator's material support is naturally impossible to compare with a big empire, but compared to Wu Sangui, a small force like Wu Sangui who only has a few counties left, the food and salary are cut off, the emperor is dead, the country is broken and there is no way out, basically he can be crushed to death, fortunately, Li Zicheng has fought with the officials and troops over the years, although it has begun to change recently, and it is quite gentle to the common people, but it is still fierce enough to attack those stubborn officers and soldiers, so these people can still muster up courage and fight hard.

However, after they fought for a whole day, they had lost their original sharpness, Li Zicheng's 60,000 old battalion really did not blow, how many tens of thousands of people eliminated the weak and left the strong, whether it was physical strength, force, intelligence, or even luck, it was not comparable to the ordinary army, they just used those massive gunpowder, siege equipment, etc., to crush the hope and resistance of the Wu army.

Li Zi set up his old camp on a hill west of Shihe, and the soldiers on the lookout in front reported that the Wu soldiers in Shanhaiguan were all exhausted and had no physical strength, and they all lay on the ground.

Song Xiance, who had been following Li Zicheng and had been giving advice, immediately congratulated: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, now, Shanhaiguan can go down in one go, congratulations to Your Majesty, unify the north, and the world will be unified in the future, just around the corner." ”
