The Qing army was defeated at Yandang Mountain, and more than 400,000 Ming troops pursued and killed, and the destruction of the red flag was only one of the results, and the losses of the Qing army were certainly more than that.

A mausoleum valley north of Yandang Mountain.

Thousands of Ying Long troops of the First Army and thousands of soldiers of the Seventh Army jointly blocked the Manchurian Blue Flag in the valley.

After a fierce battle, more than 3,000 people in the Zhenglan Banner were undoubtedly killed, and the Zhenglan Banner was wiped out like the Red Flag!

In addition to the red flag and the blue flag that were destroyed, the other flags were also more or less heavily damaged, the worst was the yellow flag, there were only a few hundred people left, and the best was the two white flags, because of the relationship with the surrendered army, the injury was the lowest, and it was the union of the two flags, there was not much suspense in breaking out of the encirclement, and the casualties were less than half.

Hundreds of thousands of Han Banner Army was not as lucky as the Eight Banners, because there was no relationship between war horses, although the Han Banner Army was not the first target of the Ming army, but about eighty percent were either annihilated or captured.

There is also a dragon-breaking army composed of people full of old and young, because it was attacked by the Ying Dragon army on three sides, the 40,000-strong dragon-breaking army only broke through less than a thousand people.

In the end, the Qing army that was able to break through from the Yandangshan battlefield was only more than 20,000 Manchu Eight Banners, more than 30,000 Mongolian cavalry, less than 1,000 Dragon Breaking Army, and 80,000 Han Banner Army, with a total of 920,000 troops defeated and nearly 800,000 lost.

Beijing City, the regent's palace.

Dolgon, unconscious, moved his fingers and slowly woke up.

"The Lord Regent is awake!"

"The Lord Regent is done!"

As soon as Dorgon woke up, he remembered what had happened, and his eyes were full of despair.

How could he not despair, the battle of Yan Dangshan buried all the elites of the Qing Dynasty, and after this battle, the Qing Dynasty no longer had the capital to resist the attack of the Ming army.

"Regent, you have finally woken up, the minions and others are worried about the regent!" Most of the people gathered here were generals with two white flags, or generals loyal to Dorgon.

"What was the result of the battle of Yan Dangshan?" Although the result was already obvious, the Qing Dynasty was defeated, but Dolgon still had this question, and he wanted to know more in detail.

"Back to the regent, the first battle of Yandangshan, the Qing Dynasty" A general of the Zhengbai Banner told Dolgon in detail the results of the battle of Yandangshan, especially the annihilation of the Red Flag and the Zhengbai Banner, as well as the escape of the Qing Army.

After hearing this, Dolgon's mouth was full of bitterness, and despair filled his heart, sure enough, the Qing Dynasty suffered such heavy losses, and he had no strength to fight against the Ming Dynasty again.

"Regent, although the Qing Dynasty was defeated, there are still nearly 30,000 iron horsemen of the Eight Banners, it is not without the strength of a battle, please cheer up the Regent, the Qing Dynasty is inseparable from the Regent!" The general of the two white flags saw the despair in Dorgon's eyes, and persuaded worriedly.

Dolgon waved his hand weakly, he knew that the generals of the two white flags were just to comfort him, the Qing Dynasty was only less than 30,000 banners, the Mongols and the Han banner army, hehe, at this time, there was no need to think about those people at all.

The Mongols were originally an iron-blooded alliance formed by marriage, and when the Qing Dynasty still had strength, they were the most determined allies of the Qing Dynasty, and now the strength of the Qing Dynasty is not there, and it is obviously no match for the Ming Dynasty, even if the Mongols have not yet given birth to dissent, they will definitely not continue to follow them to the death, as for the Han Banner Army, Dolgon has never believed in the Han people, so the current Qing Dynasty can only rely on less than 30,000 banners.

With such strength, the Eight Banners could no longer fight against the Ming army no matter what.

Dorgon knows this very well, but he hasn't fallen yet, and he still has one last hope, and that is to negotiate peace with the Ming!

Yes, it is a peace negotiation, although according to Zhu Cijiao's temperament, the possibility is extremely low, but for the sake of hundreds of thousands of clansmen, he must give it a try.

"Come on, bring pen and ink, this king wants to write a letter to Emperor Ming to ask for peace!" Dorgon was straight to his point.

Sue for peace? The generals of the Eight Banners were shocked.

"The Regent"

"Needless to say, apart from seeking peace, can the Qing Dynasty have any other way?" Speaking of this, Dolgon smiled bitterly and muttered: "Besides, even if you ask for peace, the Ming Emperor may not be able to accept it." ”

Although the generals of the Eight Banners were extremely unwilling, they also knew that Dolgon was right, not to mention the temperament of the Ming Emperor Zhu Cijiao, according to the hatred formed by the Qing Dynasty's continuous attack on the Ming Dynasty for decades, the Ming Dynasty in such a dominant situation, it may be true that it is true to accept the peace But now, the Qing Dynasty's nearly two million troops have been defeated in eight battles, and the elite has been lost, and there are less than 30,000 Eight Banners left, what can they do if they don't seek peace?

Everyone stopped talking, and Dorgon began to write a letter of peace.

Yan Dangshan, it has been several hours since the end of the war, and the army is cleaning the battlefield and burying the corpses.

"Your Majesty, this is the Qing Army's imitation Shenwu field cannon, a total of ninety-three!" Ji Feng, the commander of the First Army, said to Zhu Ci.

In the first battle of Yandangshan, the Qing army invested a total of more than 300 imitation Shenwu field artillery, and most of them were destroyed by the artillery of the Ming army in the artillery battle, only ninety-three were left, and Zhu Ci ordered all of them to be put away.

"Put it all away, it might be useful later!" Zhu Ci said lightly.

Although the Shenwu field cannon imitated by the Qing army is not as good as the genuine Shenwu field cannon of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not as good as the latest 90 mm caliber new cannon of the Ming Dynasty, it is still one of the most advanced cannons in the world, and it is still somewhat useful.

"Your Majesty, the results of the Battle of Yandang Mountain have been counted!" Li Yan came to Zhu Ci and said.

"Read!"

"In the first battle of Yandangshan, the first army of the Yinglong army suffered 1,230 casualties, of which 327 were killed and 903 were wounded, and the second army" When Li Yan finished reading, Zhu Ci nodded lightly.

More than 5,000 people were killed and wounded in the Ying Long army, more than 50,000 people were killed and wounded in the surrendered army, and more than 20,000 people were killed and wounded in other armies, with a total of nearly 60,000 casualties.

Zhu Ci believes that after the battle of Yandangshan, the elite of the Qing army was lost, and there was no capital to threaten the Northern Expedition army.

The next battle was to attack the city of Beijing and recover the old capital of the Ming Dynasty, which had been lost for several years.

"Newspaper" a scout fast malay newspaper.

"Your Majesty, the Manchurians sent a messenger to send a letter asking for peace, wanting to see the emperor!" The scout reported.

The scout was cruising ten miles away, and immediately encountered a messenger sent by the Manchurians, and the matter was very important, and the scout immediately came to report to Zhu Ci.

"Summation?" Zhu Ci sneered, now that the Ming Dynasty has the advantage, there is no doubt that he will win, how can he still accept the Manchurian people's request for peace, don't even think about it!

The so-called peace is just a piece of waste paper, the Ming and the Manchus have been at war for decades, during which they have not signed any peace treaties, but the Manchus are not attacking the Ming every year, and now they are seeking peace for a while, but it is just to alleviate the losses, once they recover, with the strength to fight with the Ming again, they will still jump out like a beast and bite a piece of flesh and blood on the Ming body, this kind of stupid thing to raise a tiger, Zhu Ci will not do, so he even owes the idea of seeing the messenger of the Manchurians.

"Beat up the Manchu envoys, throw them out of the camp, and let them go back and tell Dolgon that I do not agree to sue for peace, and that there is only one way for the Manchus to lay down their arms and surrender to the Ming unconditionally!" Zhu Ci said with a sneer.

Not only did he refuse the Manchurians' request for peace, but Zhu Cicheng also ordered that after resting for half a day, the army rushed straight to Beijing to completely end the Northern Expedition!
