Some people are happy and some are worried. On Ningyuan City, the sky is filled with snow, and the little eunuch is dancing gracefully. But five hundred miles away, there are people who are worried, looking at the roaring snowstorm outside, their brows are knitted together, it's a bad start!
There is a valley in the mountains ten miles west of Fuxin, and there is a village in the valley. The village is surrounded by mountains, and the mountains are endless. The village is surrounded by tents and flags, and there are groups of mules and horses. The 130,000-strong army assembled by Dorgon marched here, but stopped there when it encountered wind and snow.
This is a temporary camp.
It's been snowing for three days in a row, and the snow on the ground is almost knee-deep. What's terrible is that God has no intention of stopping, and it just keeps falling, falling, falling.
The village has been occupied as a place for generals such as Dorgon to stay. In addition to reading the Mingcheng Pass map and discussing the entry war, every day they drink and watch the snow, waiting for the snow to stop and march. From Fuxin, they go straight to Chaoyang in the southwest, Chengde, and all the way to the capital.
Looking for an opportunity to enter the customs at Miyun in the north, this journey is nearly a thousand miles on mountain roads and is expected to be reached in half a month. As for the food, grass and baggage, they have almost no food, because they are there to rob, and they are grabbing and eating while walking.
In the Songjin Battle two years ago, Dorgon defeated the Ming army and captured Hong Chengchou, Zu Dashou and other Ming generals, encroaching on hundreds of miles of the Ming Dynasty. He became the first person to open up territory since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Not to mention his great military achievements, he was
Regent, Emperor Fulin of the Qing Dynasty was still a little baby at this time, and he controlled all the power of the government.
But now, after two years of recuperation and recuperation, the troops are strong and strong, and they cannot restrain their ambitions. In addition, the situation in the Ming Dynasty is in chaos at this time. It is a time to fish in troubled waters. Dorgon, who has been preparing to enter the customs again six months ago, heard about the thieves a month ago.
When the army marched eastward, they decisively gathered all the armies. At this time, news of the bandit attack on Taiyuan came. Taiyuan is a large city and the west gate of the capital. If it fails, the consequences will be disastrous. The Ming army will definitely gather a large army to fight, and the surrounding area of the capital will definitely be empty.
This was really a good time to enter the Pass, so we immediately sent troops.
But just as they were setting off, another news arrived. The intruders broke down in Taiyuan, turned around and fled to Lu'an Prefecture in the east to cause trouble in the Central Plains. It was obvious that the Qing army's intelligence was somewhat delayed, after all, they were thousands of miles apart.
After Dorgon discussed with the generals, he decided to continue marching. The defeat of the Chuang army was not of much importance to the overall situation. Although he won, the Ming court had difficulty in taking care of the beginning and the end. He also suffered 800 self-inflicted wounds when he defeated the Ming army and was tired of coping.
, and certainly cannot just watch him wreak havoc in the Central Plains, and also go to suppress the bandits.
So Dorgon marched resolutely and invaded on a large scale.
It's just that he didn't look at the almanac when he went out. God's mercy, the wind and snow blocked him in this mountain den for several days. Dorgon was really angry. If he delayed for too long and brought insufficient supplies to the Ming Dynasty border, it would cause a crisis.
Series dilemma.
After the dilemma, it is very likely that he will kill the game with one hit!
This was because sending troops into the country this time was extremely important to Dorgon himself, and he couldn't make any mistakes. This was related to all his wealth and life in the Qing Dynasty.
In later generations, palace fight scenes were mainly made in the Qing palace, but the squalid fights for favor in the harem were nothing compared to the power struggles among the princes and princes of the Qing Dynasty.
Last year, Huang Taiji suddenly died suddenly without leaving any will. The country cannot be without a king for a day. Logically speaking, the eldest son, Brother Hao, should take over the throne. But Dorgon had made great achievements in battle and was powerful, so he wanted to do it too!
So it immediately turned into an uncle-nephew fight for the throne, similar to that of the early Ming Dynasty. The civil and military forces in the court and the Chinese government also took sides. The original Huang Taiji's Zhenghuang Banner and the Xianghuang Banner were added to Hauge's own Zhenglan Banner and the Xiangqi Banner commanded by Prince Zheng Jierharang.
The blue flags all support Hauge's ascension to the throne, but Dorgon's two brothers, Duduo and Azige, who have great military exploits and are powerful, strongly support Dorgon's ascension to the throne.
The two groups almost came to war over the throne, but in the end they negotiated and each took a step back, allowing the six-year-old Fulin to take the throne, while Dorgon and Jierhalang were regents at the same time.
In the end, it looked like they were shaking hands and making peace, but in fact, there was an undercurrent of evil. After all, just Wen Dou had killed several people, such as Daishan's second son Shuo Tuo and grandson Adali.
There is no deep love between father and son before the imperial power. Brothers and sisters will be killed at will. The Han royal family is like this, and the Qing people are like this. Nurhachi killed his eldest son Chu Ying without batting an eyelid.
Dorgon, as the regent, controlled the government as if he were the emperor, but in fact he also knew very well that at this time, he was like a small boat in the storm, which could capsize at any time.
Although he has the support of several brothers who have made great achievements in war, there are also many who oppose him. His contemporaries include Jierhalang and Daishan, not to mention his nephews and nephews, headed by Hauge, who are not to be underestimated.
strength.
Because these nephews, such as Hauge, Nikan, Boluo, and Yue Tuo, are now the backbone of the Qing army. They are all brave and good at fighting, and have great influence in the army with their outstanding military achievements.
What's interesting is that although these nephews are a generation younger than Dorgon, most of them are about the same age as him, or even older than him. For example, Yue Tuan, the second eldest son of the Daishan family, is thirteen years older than Dorgon.
No way, Nurhaci had many wives and sons. There were sixteen princes in total. The eldest Chu Ying was forty years older than the old boy Fei Yangguo, and the second boy Daishan was nearly thirty years older than the fourteenth boy Dorgon.
age!
In ancient times, it was not unusual for people to get married and get pregnant early, and to become a father at the age of fifteen or sixteen. It was common for the grandsons of wealthy families to be older than their sons.
All in all, in the face of such a huge potential threat, Dorgon must consolidate his position with a victory. Of course, he also knows that if the attack fails, those who seek to settle his scores will line up from Shenyang to Changbai Mountain.
Outside the Qing army camp, four Ming army envoys were surrounded by the Qing army, and then they were severely beaten to the ground. Then one of them found a secret letter from their bodies and hurriedly ran to the camp.
After half a cup of tea, all the generals in the camp received the regent's oral instructions to discuss matters in the camp!
During this invasion of the Qing army, the Manchu, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners Army was commanded by the regent Dorgon as the general. There were also two Japs and Korean soldiers totaling more than 100,000. They were all generals with outstanding military exploits. In addition to the Manchu and Mongolian generals, many
In addition to Duo, Abatai, Azig, Hauge, Nikan, Yue Tuo, etc., there were also three kings of Shun, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde, etc. It can be said that except for Jierhalang and Daishan who were in prison in Shenyang, the Qing Dynasty
Almost all the heroes were dispatched, and their ambition was evident.
Of course, there is another reason for bringing so many generals out, and Dorgon is worried!
We want to go together, we want to die together, I'm going out to conquer the world, and when I came back in the blink of an eye, you secretly ascended the throne, isn't it unreasonable?
In the commander's tent, all the generals have gathered and are circulating the letter begging for teachers sent by Wu Sangui.
The intruders were unstoppable in the Central Plains. They marched all the way north to Baoding Prefecture like a strong wind. The capital was in danger. Gao Di, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan Pass, took the opportunity to support his troops and cause chaos. Wu Sangui, who wanted to enter the Pass and become King Qin of Beijing, was not allowed to come to beg for help and asked the Qing army to send troops for help.
.
There was a lot of noise in the tent, and for a while there was a lot of spitting and quarrels. They gradually divided into two groups to discuss the matter. One might be a fraud, the other might be the truth, but most of them favored the Ming court, which was very likely to be in danger at this time!
The basis is very simple. During the Eastern Expedition, the bandit army was already divided into two groups. The main force of the bandits had asked the Ming court to mobilize all its forces to Taiyuan to deal with it. As a result, the Central Plains was empty. Instead, Liu Fangliang was left to kill everyone without stopping, while the bandits were left unstoppable.
After the defeat, they went straight to the Central Plains to join forces. Their swords were sharper. It was probably not surprising that the Ming Dynasty was unable to cope with it and was beaten to Baoding Mansion, the south gate of the capital.
As for Gao Di's rebellion, although it is unexpected, it is not unexpected at all. At this time, thieves were everywhere in the Ming Dynasty. There were Zhang Xianzhong in the south, Li Zicheng in the northwest, and Bai Wang in the south. Seeing that the Ming court wanted money and food, and the warlords ceded territory and supported their troops, it was not
Following orders is nothing new, so it is not surprising that Gaudi rebelled.
As for those who thought it was a fraud, they were just suspicious. The Qing army entered the Pass and besieged the city of Beijing several times, but failed to capture it. Why should those idiots do it? Moreover, they were only in Baoding at this time and had not yet laid siege to the city. Wu Sangui was very worried!
But if you must say it's a fraud, no one can give you a practical reason. After all, throughout the ages, there have been rebellions in the country and they have been suppressed by foreign troops. At this time, the Ming court was powerless to deal with the intruders. Wu Sangui outside the customs was the only one who could
He mobilized men and horses, but was blocked by Gao Di. At this time, it was not impossible to ask the Qing army for help!
If this matter is true, there will definitely be huge profits to be made. At the worst, the Ming Dynasty can cede Ningyuan and expand the Qing Dynasty's territory to Shanhaiguan. Thinking of this, Dorgon couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body and open up the border.
Expanding the territory, the first person in the Qing Dynasty! At that time, who dared to disobey me, and dared to give me a fight! (To be continued)
