Chapter 66 The mighty Eight Banners Celestial Soldiers
The Qing court agreed to Wu Sangui to split the soil into the king, named him the King of Pingxi, and organized his Guanning Army into the Han army flag, forming 150 Niulu, each Niulu, which means that Wu Sangui could command nearly 50,000 Han Eight Banners. In fact, after Dorgon sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, Wu Sangui had no more people, only about 20,000 people under him. Later, after the Qing army entered the pass, Wu Sangui chased the Shun Army and the Daxi Army, and accommodated a group of green camp soldiers. Only when he arrived in Yunnan had 30,000 troops.
In this time and space, because of Zhao Peng's flapping butterfly wings, Wu Sangui's troops were even less than 15,000 left. However, Zhao Peng, a newbie in history, never dreamed that when he finally counterattacked the Central Plains, Wu Sangui, a slave from the three surnames, surrendered to him, but that happened a long time later.
Dorgon received the imperial edict and immediately looked at Tong Kuixing and Leng Yundeng: "You two, you can go back and report to Wu Changbo immediately, and say that I, the Qing Dynasty, agreed to make him king. If Changbo is willing to surrender, come and report quickly, I will send troops to rescue him immediately."
"Thank you for your help from the Regent!" Tong Kuixing thanked Dorgon, and then returned to Shanhaiguan five miles away with Leng Yundeng and reported to Wu Sangui.
When Wang Yongji learned that our Qing Dynasty had taken the initiative to rescue him without hesitation, he was overjoyed: "Last Emperor, your revenge can finally be avenged! When the army borrowed from the Qing Dynasty recovered the capital, I will chase and kill the thieves! When the day the thieves were awarded the title of the head, you can also rest in peace!"
Wu Sangui was ecstatic to learn that after he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing court would grant him the king. But Fang Guangchen vaguely felt that things were not that simple: "Master, the students thought there were many inappropriate things in this matter. If you surrender to Jiannu and become the King of Pingxi, wouldn't that be an act of unfaithfulness or justice?"
"Mr. Fang, you have been worried too much. Our army surrendered to the Qing Dynasty was not intended by our original intention. We were deceiving surrender. When we restored the capital and avenged Your Majesty, our army can return to our Ming Dynasty. If the King of Pingxi of the Tartars is not allowed, it is better if we don't want it." Wu Sangui laughed.
"I'm afraid it's easy to invite God to send him away! If Jiannu betrays his faith and resigns to the host, occupy the magpie's nest, occupy the Ming Dynasty, and then take the opportunity to go south to destroy the Ming Dynasty, we will all become the Ming Dynasty sinners!" Fang Guangchen said worriedly.
After following Wu Sangui to the Qing Dynasty, Fang Guangchen continued to work with Liu Xuanchu to secretly remind Wu Sangui to rebel against the Qing Dynasty. Later, after Kang Mazi helped Wu Sangui kill Oboi, who Wu Sangui was most afraid of, Fang Guangchen and Liu Xuanchu urged Wu Sangui to rebel against the Qing Dynasty. The two planned to kill Zhu Guozhi and avenge the gentry who died unjustly in the three major cases in Jiangnan.
Wu Sangui said disapprovingly: "Even if Jiannu steals the world and there is a king who is named by the Tartars for our army, we can recruit soldiers and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. How can we say a sinner in the Ming Dynasty?"
In fact, Wu Sangui had no bargaining capital at this time. In addition to conferring Wu Sangui as king, the Qing court also made a request to ced the north of the Jianghuai River to the Qing Dynasty. Wu Sangui had no choice but to agree. But no one thought how big the Qing Dynasty had, and actually wanted to annex the Ming Dynasty with a small tribe outside the pass with a population of 200,000.
Seeing that Wu Sangui could not persuade him, Fang Guangchen could only sigh helplessly and gave up.
Dorgon's memorial was sent back to Shengjing, and Fulin's imperial edict went back to Huanxiling. It took two days to go back and forth. After Tong Kuixing and Leng Yundeng returned to report to Wu Sangui, it took another half a day to come. In the past two and a half days, Wu Sangui's Guanning army should have been almost exhausted, right? Only when Wu Sangui's strength was greatly damaged, Dorgon was relieved to let Wu Sangui split the soil and become king. After Wu Sangui's strength was greatly damaged, Dorgon could take the opportunity to arrange a group of Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners to work under Wu Sangui. In fact, it was just mixed with sand, so that Wu Sangui could be controlled.
In the past two and a half days, the Shun Army vigorously attacked Shanhaiguan, and both sides suffered heavy losses. However, the Shun Army used the attack to attack the city as the original name of the surrendered soldiers and the refugee cannon fodder collected halfway. The Shun Army's own old camp cavalry did not suffer any losses. In history, the cavalry of the Shun Army's old camp was trapped and horse-drawn did not happen.
Zhao Peng, a historical novice, naturally did not know how effective the flapping butterfly wings had, but Dorgon did not have the ability to predict the future. Of course, it was impossible for something to happen in time and space. He just relied on the information obtained by the Qing spies, which showed that the Shun Army and the Guanning Army had fought fiercely for many days, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
After receiving the spy's report, Dorgon was overjoyed: "Breakthroughs and Guanning Army were both injured, which is a great opportunity for our powerful heavenly soldiers of the Qing Dynasty to enter the pass! Under my order, we will set up camps and set up camps, and the three armies will advance together to target Shanhaiguan!"
"Master, wait!" Hong Chengchou, who is familiar with the terrain of Shanhaiguan, stood up. "Master, I think that our army should avoid Xiluo City where the two armies confront each other, enter the pass from the Jiumenkou in the north, and kill Xiluo City from behind, so that one of the trespasses could be killed by surprise!"
"Actually by the Nine Gate?" Dorgon frowned slightly, "According to the spies' reward, there was a stone outside the Nine Gate, and there was an army of nearly 100,000 thieves."
Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "Master, the army of trespasses outside the Jiumen are Jiang Xiang, and Tang Tong surrenders are vulnerable! If my powerful heavenly soldiers of the Qing Dynasty suddenly appear outside the Jiumen, a stone trespass will definitely flee."
After hearing Hong Chengchou's proposal, Dorgon nodded knowingly and thought to himself: Hong Chengchou, a dog slave, is really a good slave in our Qing Dynasty! He is indeed despicable and shameless.
Dorgon then issued an order, and he personally led the generals such as Ajige, Dodo, Lekdehun, Haoge, and Oboi, and led 20,000 heavy cavalry of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, 30,000 Mongolian light cavalry, 30,000 Manchuria Eight Banners of Gabush Xianchaoha and Bayala, and 20,000 heavy infantry of the Han army flag Wuzhenchaoha led by King Sanshun, attacked 100,000 troops and opened towards the Jiumenkou.
At this time, Jiang Xiang and Tang Tong's troops were gathering in a stone outside the Jiumenkou Pass. Guangxian, Guan Fumin, Liang Fu, Zhou Fengwu and other generals led their troops to a stone one after another, and brought red barbarian cannons from the capital and launched a fierce shelling at Jiumenkou Pass.
The Guanning Army stationed at Jiumenkou Pass struggled to support it, but the solid Guancheng still could not resist the violent bombardment of the Red Barbarian cannons. Many cracks appeared on the city wall, which was already in danger.
Just as the Shun Army attacked Jiumenkou Pass fiercely, Zhao Peng received a report from a spy: "Jiannu has left Huanxi Ridge and is heading towards Shanhaiguan! Jiannu has more than 100,000 troops, including 50,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry! From their marching route, it can be judged that it may enter the pass from Beishui Pass, Junmenkou or Jiumenkou in the north!"
What is coming is finally here! Zhao Peng said in his heart, and he immediately rode on his horse and headed straight for the Shun Army Central Army tent in Hongwadian.
When Zhao Peng saw Li Zicheng, he immediately reported to Li Zicheng important news that he had discovered that the Qing army was preparing to enter the pass.
"Bei Shui Pass, Junmen Pass or Jiumen Pass? Where will Jiannu enter the pass?" Li Zicheng could not tell which pass the Qing army would enter the pass for a while.
A piece of stone! Zhao Peng suddenly remembered this name in his mind, so he hurriedly said: "King, a piece of stone! Jiannu may come out of a piece of stone!"
"A piece of stone?" Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, and then said disapprovingly: "A piece of stone has my 100,000 army attacking the Nine Gate! If Jiannu came out of a piece of stone, would he really think my 100,000 army no longer exist?"
