On September 28, Gubeikou Admiral Zhao Guohua, Malan Town Commander-in-Chief Jiang Yi, Taining Town Commander-in-Chief Hu Wei, and Xuanhua Town Commander-in-Chief Du Zifei were trapped and killed in Beijing.

Zunhua Co-operation and Zijingguan No. 1 were dismantled and reorganized into the third mixed division of Guan Ning Army. The division was led by Ma Long, with four regiments and 12,000 soldiers.【】

On September 29, Zhou Baoliang, the commander-in-chief of Tianjin Town, Fei Dagang, the commander-in-chief of Daming Town, and Hua Yunguo, the commander-in-chief of Tongyong Town, were killed in Baoding. The three generals were under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Battalion of Zhenbiao, Hejian, and Dagu No.2

The Xie, Guguan Yingbing, Kaizhou First Xie, Damingcheng garrison, and Shanyong Second Xie were reorganized into the fourth mixed division of the Guanning Army. The division was under the direct jurisdiction of the governor Qi Zhuang and had 11,000 troops.

.The 7,000-strong green battalion of Jin Guozheng, the former admiral of Zhili, was reorganized into the garrison of various prefectures and counties of Zhili and placed under the direct control of local prefectures and counties.

On September 30th, Kangxi returned to Shanhaiguan from Shengjing via Jinzhou and met up with Yue Le's troops, totaling 50,000 soldiers. On the same day, 10,000 troops from Prince Kang's Jie Du command forcibly attacked the pass, leaving 3,000 corpses.

The two sides were in a stalemate. The Qing army attacked with force, and Guan Ning's army also wanted to leave the pass for a decisive battle. They only sent a notice to the pass, saying that Emperor Xuantong had ascended the throne and that Kangxi had died in Shengjing. They refused.

Do not acknowledge the fact that Kangxi is still alive.

On the second day of October, 25,000 green battalions and newly recruited soldiers from the neighboring prefectures and counties of the capital marched to Shanhaiguan and were organized into the fifth mixed division of Guan Ning Army, with the division commander Wu Fengqiu. At this point, the Guan Ning Army gathered in Shanhaiguan

The military strength overwhelmed the Qing army.

On the fifth day of October, Nan Huairen supervised the construction of 36 cannons and shipped them to Shanhaiguan.

On the seventh day of October, Kangxi heard that Shengjing had been attacked by Guan Ning of the Qing Dynasty, and that Galdan had defeated Horqin and crossed the Black Mountains to attack Jinzhou. Fearing that his retreat would be retreated and he would become a turtle in a urn, he ordered the army to attack Shanhaiguan again, regardless of the loss of the exhausted troops.

.After a day of fierce fighting, more than ten thousand corpses were abandoned, and they were still not allowed to enter the pass.

On the eighth day of October, Guan Ning's army sent secret envoys to have secret discussions with Prince Yabu and Prince Fu Shou of the Qing Dynasty. They used the condition of killing Kangxi as the king outside Guan, so as to induce Yabu and Fu Shou to make a rebellion. Unexpectedly, the matter was revealed, and Kangxi struck first.

In order to be strong, in the name of convening a meeting of the royal camp, he secretly ambushed the guards and killed Yabu and Fu Shou with swords. He also killed more than thirty generals under the two kings and took over the troops and horses under their names.

On the ninth day of October, unable to capture the enemy for a long time and in danger of running out of food, Kangxi led more than 30,000 remaining troops and fled to Shengjing overnight, followed by Zhao Qiang with 50,000 troops and horses.

On October 14, Guan Ning's army completed the siege of Shengjing and occupied western Liaoning and other places, thus ending Kangxi's intention of escaping to Guan by sea.

On October 16, Galdan led the troops of Geer and Guan Ning to join forces at the foot of Shengjing City. Both sides agreed that whoever entered Shengjing first would own the city.

On October 28, Shengjing General Laita led his troops to break through the encirclement, but due to lack of support, he was defeated and returned to the city.

On the third day of November, Galdan sent his troops to attack the city but failed. He stopped attacking the city by force and left 10,000 troops in Shengjing. He returned to Monan with his main force to eliminate the remaining tribes in Monan.

On the sixth day of November, Zhao Qiang sent an envoy to ask Kangxi to surrender, which would guarantee the lives of the bannermen in the city. Kangxi refused and killed the envoy. Zhao Qiang was angry, excavated Fuling and Zhaoling, dug up the corpses of Nurhaci and Huang Taiji, and tied them with white cloth.

, hanging on the gate of the military camp. When the Qing army heard about it, the whole city howled.

On the eighth day of the eleventh month, the city ran out of food. On the fourteenth day, soldiers and horses were killed to satisfy hunger. On the twenty-fourth day, people were killed for food.

On the ninth day of February in the second year of Xuantong, Kangxi felt that he had the power to return to heaven and committed suicide by taking poison. Prince Kang Jie led the officials of Shengjing to surrender in Kaicheng.

On February 11th, under the order to massacre the city, only one person in Shengjing City survived.

On February 28, Guan Ning's army went south and killed all the bannermen wherever they went, spreading the word to the world that those who killed the bannermen should be Han people.

On April 21, Guan Ning's army captured Yangzhou and more than 3,000 bannermen in the city were killed.

On the ninth day of May, Guan Ning's army crossed the river and captured Nanjing. Maleji, the governor of Liangjiang in the Qing Dynasty, committed suicide, and 30,000 bannermen in the city were killed. After that, Guan Ning's army quickly occupied various places in the south of the Yangtze River.

On May 19, after learning that Nanjing had been captured, Zhao Qiang killed Emperor Xuantong and established his own country. The country was named "Hua Empire" and the reign was Weiwei.

In the tenth month of June, General Gui Guo of Hangzhou of the Qing Dynasty went crazy and massacred 130,000 Han people in Hangzhou. The tragedy occurred, and Guan Ning's army was furious. He mobilized an army of 300,000 to besiege Hangzhou. After 16 days of siege, he finally conquered and divided Hangzhou General Gui Guo.

Corpses were chopped down all over the city by bannermen, and the water of the West Lake turned red with blood.

On July 18, Guan Ning's army gathered heavy troops to besiege Fuzhou City. In early August, Guan Ning's army bombarded the city with heavy artillery, fired thousands of crossbows, and swarmed the city. The Qing troops defending the city were repulsed. Guan Ning's army sent people to persuade them to surrender.

The defenders replied: "If you surrender, you will die. If you don't surrender, you will die. It's better to fight desperately!" On August 20, the city of Fuzhou ran out of food, and Guan Ning's army used artillery to blast through the city gate before they could enter the city. The Qing troops inside the city

If they escape, the old, weak, women and children will not survive.

Guan Ning's army is famous throughout history for its ferocity and cruelty. When they encounter resistance, after breaking the city and gaining territory, they will massacre the defenders and bannermen. Regardless of whether they participated in the resistance or not, they will slaughter or plunder them all into slaves. Since the first year of Weiwu, troops have been sent south.

, that is, they massacred the Manchus and even other ethnic groups, and staged scenes of brutal massacres. Wu Fengqiu's troops of the South Marching Corps bloodbathed Jiangnan, and the bannermen and ethnic minorities from all over Lingnan went south for eleven months, killing the bannermen and young people from all over the country.

There are more than 700,000 clan members.

The three daughters-in-law of Shi Lang, the admiral of the Fujian Navy in the Qing Dynasty, were quartered because they refused to succumb to Guan Ning's army. Hundreds of thousands of such women's families of upright officials died. In Nanchang, Guan Ning's army distributed the plundered women of the bannermen to each other.

Camp, gang rapes were carried out day and night. "Each regiment divided them among themselves, and those who were in the same camp stayed together day and night." These women "excluding those who were killed, died by water, died by water, and died by themselves, there were more than 100,000 people in the camp."

Before Guan Ning's army fell into the city, some bannermen who came out to surrender also suffered the fate of "the men were killed and the women were kept."

According to the records of some local historical records in later generations, Guan Ning's army not only massacred the rebels, but even the Han officials and officials who had surrendered were not spared. Their wives and mothers were taken away as sex slaves and then sold in the market!

After Guan Ning's army captured Shanxi, due to the stubborn resistance of the Han people and the bannermen in Datong City, they carried out the Datong Massacre. After the massacre, there were only eight Han people left in the city, and they were all prisoners in prison. Datong sent by the empire

The prefect said that since there were no more victims, these eight people could be released. This memorial has been kept in the First Historical Archives of the Empire!

Italian missionary Wei Kuangguo described the massacre of Manchus by Guan Ning's army in Guangzhou this way: The massacre lasted from November 24 to December 5. They killed all men, women, old and children cruelly, and they did not say anything

Otherwise, just say: Kill! Kill these despicable Manchu bastards. The Dutch envoy John Neuhofjnneff also recorded in his "The East India Company in the United Provinces Departs from the Court of the Great Emperor of the Chinese Empire": "The Imperial Army Entered the City

After that, the whole city suddenly became a miserable scene, and every soldier began to destroy and snatch away everything they could get; the cries of women, children and the elderly were loud; from November 26 to December 15, people everywhere in the streets could hear

All the people heard were the sounds of Manchus being tortured and killed; the whole city was filled with wailing, massacres, and looting."

Zhao Erlu, who witnessed the massacre with his own eyes, described the pile of heads as high as hills and pagodas! Li Fugui of the Guan Ning Army also admitted that the firstborn of the deceased was taken prisoner, and those who had heads were still with the first ones. The red face was covered with blood and scorched earth, and the orphan child

Shang Tan Niang is pregnant.

The process of the Guan Ning Army's occupation of various parts of the country was an elegy of blood and tears. These brutal massacres against the Manchus had basically the same pattern: cruel mass killings based on the massacre order issued by the leader of the Guan Ning Army, and shameful

Collective gang rape. After the massacre, not only were the heads piled up to form a "Jingguan", but the sensitive parts of women were even cut off as evidence of rewards based on merit!

Qiu Fu".

According to imperial historical archives and mighty records, even Emperor Zhao Qiang himself was a participant in this kind of massacre. He once brutally beheaded six Manchu ladies who were sent back from Sichuan in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The reason was just that

They didn't smile when they saw him.
