Su Tiancheng and Hong Chengchou arrived on the outskirts of Shenyang at the same time.

There are 10,000 soldiers led by Su Tiancheng, and there are 60,000 soldiers led by Hong Chengchou, the arrival of these 70,000 soldiers is like a shot in the arm, and Lu Xiangsheng, who is fighting with the Houjin Tartars, is suddenly full of confidence, of course, Hong Chengchou is here, Lu Xiangsheng still has to be modest, and it is recommended that Hong Chengchou lead the battle to attack Shenyang, but the emperor did not adopt this opinion, and still asked Lu Xiangsheng to continue to command the battle, but Hong Chengchou participated in the decision-making of major matters.

The strength of confidence is endless, knowing that the emperor came to Shenyang, the Jiangning battalion soldiers, as if beaten chicken blood, the attack is even more crazy, that is, the emperor arrived on the outskirts of Shenyang The next day, the outer city of Shenyang was all taken, and the Houjin Tartars, who could not resist, were forced to retreat into the inner city.

The discussion of how to attack the inner city has finally begun.

On the outskirts of Shenyang, Jiangning Camp Barracks.

The officers above the commander of the Jiangning battalion and the guard were all concentrated in the Chinese military tent, and the discussion was presided over by Hong Chengchou.

Lu Xiangsheng was the first to put forward his views, and he was deeply touched.

"Your Majesty, Lord Hong, everyone, the minister thinks that the attack on the inner city of Shenyang, or to use artillery, for such a long time, the minister commanded the battle to attack the outer city of Shenyang, the price paid by the Jiangning battalion is heavy, the casualties are more than 20,000, although it is said that tens of thousands of Houjin Tartars have been wiped out, and the outer city has been occupied, but the defense of the inner city is more tight, and the minister has a preliminary estimate that there are more than 50,000 Houjin Tartars stationed in the inner city. These Houjin Tartars are the strength that Houjin can rely on the most rear, and if the tactics of strong attack are adopted, they will definitely cause greater casualties. ”

Lu Xiangsheng paused slightly when he said this.

"The emperor once said that if it was because of war. Slaughtering too many civilians may trigger a crusade in the history books, but the minister believes that the inner city is mainly concentrated with Manchu nobles, including Huang Taiji and others, and there are very few Han people, and because of the battle in the outer city of Shenyang, the Houjin Tartars carried out a strict cleanup of the inner city, and the Han people were basically driven out. In such a situation, if the artillery is used to attack, the Houjin Tartars will definitely not be able to resist, and the Jiangning battalion will be able to reduce a lot of casualties......"

Lu Xiangsheng was still in the process of stating his reasons, and many officers nodded.

Lu Xiangsheng had just finished speaking, and Ma Xianglin followed and spoke.

"Your Majesty, Lord Hong, your subordinates agree with the marshal's suggestion. His subordinates personally commanded the battle against the outer city, and suffered heavy casualties among the soldiers. Deeply remorseful, brought to the end of the battle, his subordinates asked for punishment, if they attacked the inner city, they could not use artillery, and they would inevitably cause heavy casualties. ”……

The discussion is ongoing. Almost all of them were in favor of the use of artillery.

If artillery is really used, the inner city will not be able to be protected at all, and more than a thousand artillery guns will fire at the inner city, no matter what it is, it will be difficult to keep it, not to mention that the Houjin Tartars in the inner city have no place to escape at all. Except for being attacked by artillery, I can't think of any good way to dodge, including Huang Taiji.

Su Tiancheng didn't necessarily disagree with the use of artillery, but he thought that this kind of bombing method that was close to slaughtering the city was always inappropriate, after all, the Houjin Tartar had become the end of the crossbow, and there was no hope.

Hong Chengchou, who presided over the meeting, also agreed with the use of artillery in his heart, but he did not express his opinion for the time being, but looked at the emperor, and this kind of important matter was finally decided by the emperor.

Su Tiancheng looked at everyone and finally spoke.

"Lord Lu is the commander of this battle, many of you are directly involved in the battle and fighting, it is said that I should agree with your opinion, after all, you have commanded the battle, you have the real right to speak, how you should attack, whether to use artillery, should be subject to your opinion, but I still have other opinions."

"The battle situation in Haizhou, Fushun and other places, I am here to talk about it, Lord Hong led the army, captured Haizhou, Yaozhou, Liaoyang and other places, exterminated all the Houjin Tartars, Sun Chuanting and He Renlong led an army of 70,000, captured Fushun, exterminated the 20,000 Houjin Tartars stationed in Fushun, and killed the commander Sony, more importantly, Haoge committed suicide, and the army led by Tan Tai to reinforce Fushun has fallen into a heavy encirclement, and it is difficult to escape, Sun Chuanting wrote a song, and there is no need for reinforcements from the army, I am confident that the reinforcements led by Tan Tai will be completely wiped out, as for Aobai, who is stationed in Tieling, there are only 5,000 people under his command, and in the process of reinforcing Fushun, he also suffered casualties, and it is almost impossible to hold on. ”

"The battle on the grassland is basically over, the largest tribe, the Horqin tribe, after suffering a devastating blow, has surrendered, some small tribes scattered and fled, can no longer form an effective force, Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong have played an excerpt, ready to set up a government in the station of the Horqin tribe."

"If you know these situations, you can understand that the Houjin Tartars have completely failed, and once the battle in Shenyang City is over, the Houjin Tartars will be completely destroyed."

"It's not easy, decades have passed, starting from the Wanli period of the previous dynasty, the Jurchens began to rise, and then established the Great Qing State, but in the end it was exterminated."

"My idea, you can use artillery, but don't bombard it all for the time being, use artillery to deter the Houjin Tartars in the inner city, and the next thing is to ask the Houjin Tartars to surrender, you can send someone to tell Huang Taiji about the situation in Haizhou, Fushun and other places, including the fate of Haoge and Sony, and let him make a choice, I can conclude that Huang Taiji will definitely suffer a fatal blow when he learns about this, and the combat effectiveness of Houjin Tartar will be greatly weakened."

Hong Chengchou secretly sighed, the emperor is the emperor, he sees it far-reaching, such a cruel battle, it takes a long time to heal, and the heavy casualties of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion mean that many families fall into grief.

Opinions were quickly unified, and it was Liu Jingting and Yan Yingyuan who undertook the messenger task.

When Liu Jingting and Yan Yingyuan came to the palace, many Manchu nobles chose to remain silent.

There has been a lot of news in the inner city, Fushun City has been taken, these noble family members, all have been captured, in this case, they no longer have the courage to be tough, facing the fate of cutting off their children and grandchildren, everyone is afraid.

Chongzheng Palace, many Manchu nobles are here.

Liu Jingting was not polite, he talked eloquently, and told all the situations in Fushun, Haizhou, Liaoyang and other places, including the deaths of Haoge, Sony and others, including the sergeants led by Tan Tai have been heavily surrounded, etc., the Chongzheng Hall is very quiet, no one speaks, they are all listening to Liu Jingting's story, everyone understands that all this is true, in fact, they have already obtained certain information from the rumors.

Huang Taiji's face was pale, he almost lost the strength to speak, everything he painstakingly designed was all in vain, Liu Jingting and Yan Yingyuan were right, if the Jiangning battalion's thousand cannons began to bombard, the inner city of Shenyang would become a ruin, and there was no possibility of holding the inner city, no matter how brave the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners were, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the Jiangning battalion adopts a defensive strategy, the inner city cannot last too long, the Great Jin Dynasty has strong strength, But the Great Qing Kingdom was already in collapse and could not support it.

Zilharang, who participated in many negotiations, also did not utter strong words.

The situation is already like this, if you choose to resist, it will be tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 people who will die in the end, and the Manchurians will suffer a heavy blow, or even be completely exterminated.

But if you want to surrender immediately, no one will agree to such a choice, after all, there are still more than 60,000 soldiers in the inner city.

After Liu Jingting and Yan Yingyuan entered the inner city, according to the arrangement, Lu Xiangsheng ordered the artillery to carry out a bombardment of the specified range.

The shells hit the houses accurately, and several houses were reduced to ashes in an instant, completely non-existent.

The morale of the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty has dropped to the freezing point, the situation outside, they all know the way, the outer city is surrounded by 150,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, the strength is almost equal to three times of them, and there are sharp artillery, in this case, resistance means death, the place occupied by the Qing Dynasty, only the inner city of Shenyang, as well as Zhenbeiguan and other places, once the Jiangning battalion launches a full-scale attack, these places can not be held, and the stubborn resistance will eventually bring a more severe blow.

A sudden incident made Huang Taiji have to make up his mind.

Azig, the king of Yingwu County, led some Manchus to assassinate Liu Jingting and Yan Yingyuan, but his whereabouts were exposed, and the sergeants guarding the official post had to resist, which led to a fight between the Manchus, and finally Azig was captured alive and brought to the Chongzheng Palace.

Huang Taiji didn't know how to deal with it, but many Manchu nobles expressed great anger at Azig's behavior, believing that such acts insulted the dignity of the Manchu people and must be severely punished, which meant that he would be beheaded.

Azig knew that he could not escape this catastrophe, and finally committed suicide in prison.

The painful Huang Taiji finally couldn't support it, and if he continued to resist stubbornly, the losses caused would be even greater.

Huang Taiji finally agreed to surrender, an unconditional surrender.

Liu Jingting and Yan Yingyuan, on behalf of the Great Jin court, promised not to be slaughtered, and all Houjin Tartars who were willing to surrender could save their lives, and some brave soldiers could even be incorporated into the Jiangning camp.

On the fifth day of the seventh month of the fifth year of the Great Jin Dynasty, Huang Taiji officially announced the surrender of the Great Qing State to the Great Jin Dynasty, canceled the name of the Great Qing State, and all the places under the jurisdiction of the Great Qing Kingdom were all under the Great Jin Dynasty.

On the sixth day of the seventh month, Huang Taiji wore white plain clothes, led all the Manchu nobles, opened the gate of the inner city, stood at the gate of the city, and welcomed the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion into the inner city. (To be continued......)
