Bahai died, and it was Li Dingguo who killed him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, Wu Sangui's troops are also insufficient, even if he recruits people to arrange suspicious soldiers, the manpower is still slightly insufficient. Since it was Li Dingguo who accompanied Yongli back to Beijing, and the Wu army and the Jin Wangjun joined forces, the task of the final blow to the Bahai Department fell on the King of Jin, and Liu Xuanchu deliberately left this credit to Li Dingguo.
The Jin army was ambushed on the road to Bahai, and an ambush was arranged near Guandao Town, which was more than 70 miles away from the capital.
The so-called official road town, is the Shuntianfu into the north of the official road to Baoding must pass, the Qing army is still one step away from entering the territory of Shuntianfu, at this time the rain stopped, Bahai ordered the soldiers to cut firewood, light a bonfire, ready to roast the fire. As a result, as soon as the bonfire was lit, the cavalry of the King of Jin who was in ambush came out of the darkness.
This time, Bahai failed to run away, and was picked off the horse by Li Dingguo.
At this point, the last main force of the Qing army was almost completely annihilated, only Sabusu, Zhangtai and others fled back to the capital with less than a thousand remnants of the defeated generals, and the rest of the Eight Banners and Green Battalions were all annihilated, and even Leerjin died in the chaos.
Most of the suspicious soldiers arranged by Wu Sangui outside the capital are Minzhuang and auxiliary soldiers, and the number of real soldiers is very small, but it is only a matter of raising hands to stop the remnants of Sabusu, Zhangtai and others, but Sabusu and Zhangtai They still escaped safely into Yanjing City.
In fact, it was Wu Sangui, at the suggestion of Liu Xuanchu, who deliberately let these remnants of the defeated army go to the horse, let them flee back to the capital to report the news, and convey the news that Bahai had been awarded the head to the capital, so as to disturb the morale of the defenders.
Sure enough, as Liu Xuanchu expected, Sabu Su and Zhangtai fled back to Yanjing City with the remnants of the defeated army, and before they entered the Forbidden City, Bahai was defeated, and the news of the annihilation of the elite Eight Banners outside the gate had spread throughout the capital. The capital, which was already panicked, was even more chaotic.
"Your Majesty! Galeries Lafayette! The sky has fallen! Sabu Su and Jangtai cried and stumbled into the Heart Cultivation Temple.
Hearing the news that the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai were all wiped out, the Green Battalion was wiped out, the North Korean Eight Banners were wiped out, the North Korean Green Camp was also wiped out, and Ba Hai, Le Erjin and others were defeated and died, Kangxi was paralyzed on the dragon chair in despair.
"Your Majesty, leave the capital quickly! If you don't leave, it's too late! Wu Rebellion's army is about to arrive in the capital! "All the people are trying to persuade Kangxi to leave the capital.
"It's miserable! I not only lost the Central Plains, but also lost my hometown in Manchuria, so I could only go to Beihai to join the Rakshasas! I am really ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors of the Qing Dynasty! Kangxi cried bitterly, and big tears dripped from his pockmarked face.
Originally, even if Shengjing was lost, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not have no chance of turning the tables. But not long ago, there was bad news from Manchuria: the Jurchen tribes that were originally in the mountains and forests were gone, and the Qing army spies learned from the Rakshasa people that these Jurchen tribes had all taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty, were transferred away, and lived in strong fortresses. This news means that it is no longer possible for the Manchus to obtain any manpower from the Jurchens!
In this way, the Manchus had one last way to go, that is, all the way north, to Beihai to join the Rakshasas.
In fact, the old slaves were not Jurchens, and they were not even the Jurchens that the Ming people said were born, and the old slaves and their group were Tunguska savages from Siberia, but fortunately they were taken in by Li Chengliang, in order to unify the Jurchen tribe, the old slaves recognized their ancestors and claimed to be Jurchens. So Kangxi led people to flee back to Beihai, which can be regarded as returning to his hometown.
The banner people in the capital have already begun to flee one after another, and the flag people packed up their softness, dragged their families with their mouths, and lined up in a long line from the Desheng Gate in the north to leave the capital, and fled all the way to the northwest. First, after a long journey, over the mountains and mountains, arrived at Xuanda, and temporarily entered Shanxi to rest for a period of time.
From the capital to Xuanda, all the way to the past are high mountains and mountains, the road after the spring rain is more and more difficult to travel, the fleeing banner people walk through the official road by the Sanggan River, from time to time someone falls, and even some people slip under their feet, they fall into the Sanggan River, and are immediately swept away by the rolling torrent.
However, although the road is difficult, after all, there are many people who have fled, and there is still a response to each other, and most of the fleeing banner people have arrived in Zhangjiakou safely.
The news of the disastrous defeat of the Qing army reached Zhangjiakou and Datong through the fleeing bannermen.
For a long time in the Zhangjiakou and Datong areas, the various Jin merchants who have been doing business with the Outer Mongolians in Guanwai have of course also known about this. Needless to say, they have been included in Wang Yu's must-kill list, and they only have one way to go, that is, to run away with the Manchu Dynasty. There are also some small Jin merchants, some of whom are afraid that the crimes they have committed will be liquidated by the Ming Dynasty, and they also fled into the vast grassland with the bannermen; There are also Jin merchants who are lucky and plan to stay.
After leaving Datong, enter the vast grassland, go northwest and walk hundreds of miles, there is a city on the grassland, called Guihua City, which is today's Hohhot.
When Huang Taiji was chasing and killing Lin Dan Khan, Guihua City was burned to ruins by the Qing army. Later, the Tumut Mongols restored the city, and it is now inhabited by Prince Burni, the grandson of Lintan Khan.
"The Jurchens have been defeated!" Lama Azali, who was sitting opposite Prince Burni, said slowly, "Lord, in addition, the little monk also learned about one thing, Shengjing was also broken by the Ming Dynasty, and the old prince seems to have fallen into the hands of the Ming army. Listening to the people who came back from outside the gate, the Ming army did not embarrass the old prince. ”
When Prince Burney heard the three words of the old prince, his half-squinted eyes opened suddenly, and a fine light was released: "Living Buddha, you said that the old prince has fallen into the hands of the Ming army?" ”
"Yes!" Azali Lama said, "It's just that the little monk has not yet contacted the Ming army, and they see that the former Great Khan helped the Ming Dynasty resist the Jurchens, so they must not embarrass the old prince!" But my lord, we have to make a decision now! ”
"What decision?" Burney asked hurriedly.
Lama Azari said coldly: "Revenge! Avenge the Great Khan! If it weren't for Huang Taiji back then, the Great Khan would have died so early? Our Mongolian territory was compressed by Houjin, and the old prince was taken hostage again, we can't help but avenge this revenge! ”
Burney hesitated for a moment before saying, "Could it be that we are raising troops against the Qing Dynasty?" But what happens next after we raise our troops? Could it be that we take refuge in the Ming Dynasty? ”
"Today's Ming Dynasty is already in full swing, and the Ming army has excellent firearms, even no less than the Rakshasa people in Mobei!" Lama Azali advised, "The Manchu Qing Dynasty is already in danger, and the future is precarious, we have taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty, and this is the right way!" First, you can avenge the old Khan, and second, you also have a strong backer! ”
Burney frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked: "But we are now short of troops, although the Jurchens are defeated, it will be easy for them to defeat us!" ”
