Why did these Ming troops retreat? Moreover, how could these 100,000 people retreat in such an embarrassing state?
For a time, Dorgon began to doubt life!
He led his army in pursuit. The team of 100,000 miners and civilians was so scattered that most of them knelt down and surrendered.
The 30,000 miners were very hot-tempered. If the slaves caught up with them, they would attack them. However, they did not follow martial ethics at all. They would retreat if they could not fight.
There is a certain truth in the saying that you should not pursue the enemy when you are poor. Just like now, these miners want to withdraw, and no matter how hard the slaves pursue, they can only catch a small number of them.
In Liaoyang City, Dorgon listened to the reports from his soldiers, his face turned livid with anger.
"Prince Regent, we have been fooled. These 100,000 people are not soldiers at all. They were all temporarily formed by ordinary people and miners. When they saw us, they started to withdraw their troops!"
"Also, the tens of thousands of elites have all withdrawn from Guangning City. Now we are left with Liaoyang. There is not much food and grass here. I am afraid that we will not be able to last for three days!"
The soldiers reported.
At this time, each of them had a look of panic on their faces. If they could not solve the problem of food and grass quickly, they would starve to death in Liaoyang City.
"Where are Gaiping, Fuzhou and Ninghai?"
Dorgon asked.
"Back to the regent, the generals in these three places have all betrayed me. When Liaoyang City was besieged, I asked them to come to support me. Not only did they not support me, they also secretly communicated with Lin Fan and took away Lin Fan's benefits!
"
Duduo said in a deep voice.
"What! You actually accepted Lin Fan's benefits. These Ming Dynasty people are really unreliable. They are all garbage with a blind eye to money. We gave them benefits and they followed us. Now that Ming Dynasty is rich, they will follow Ming Dynasty again.
!”
Dorgon gritted his teeth angrily.
Hauge said coldly: "Huh! If you hadn't refused to save me, we wouldn't have ended up in this situation."
"Hauge! What do you mean?
Do you think I delayed my flight?"
Dorgon said coldly.
"Is not it?
If you hadn't kept delaying until now, we could have at least captured all the Ming troops besieging Liaoyang City!"
Hauge said coldly.
"Haha! If I had come earlier, Shengjing would have been captured long ago, not to mention the Ming army here, they would have withdrawn!"
Dorgon said coldly.
Hauge stared at Dorgon indifferently, and the two of them were at war with each other. Duduo on the side wanted to give some advice, but seeing the two people's unwillingness to give in, he wisely stepped aside.
In Shengjing City, Lin Fan looked at Emperor Shunzhi Fulin, who was in prison, and at Shunzhi's mother, Queen Xiaozhuang. He had to say that Xiaozhuang's appearance was really good.
"Tsk tsk! What a pity! Your father Zhai Sang left too fast, otherwise, he would have been captured alive."
Lin Fan sighed.
Empress Xiaozhuang looked at Lin Fan indifferently and said: "You must be that Emperor Wuhou Lin Fan. As the saying goes, if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. You are so arrogant and want Emperor Chongzhen to confer you the title of Emperor Wuhou. How can you do that?"
I know, you are looking for death!"
"You are now so powerful that you will conquer the Qing Dynasty, and you will die soon. Why don't you surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and we will ensure that you become the regent!"
Empress Xiaozhuang still wanted to instigate rebellion against Lin Fan at this time. This kind of brainless idea may only be thought of by someone like her.
Lin Fan sneered and said, "Do you think I'm a fool?
Surrendering to you group of Buddhist slaves means surrendering one's status, so why don't I just stand on my own?"
"Haha! Do you have this ability?
If you rebel now, everyone in the world will despise you, but my son is the Lord of Destiny and the True Dragon Emperor!"
"There are many of us from the Hou Jin Dynasty, and my father is the king of the Mongolian grassland. Only by surrendering to me, the Qing Dynasty, can you truly seek hegemony!"
"Don't worry. If you surrender now, I will grant you immunity from death. You will be the regent. Dorgon will do whatever you want. You can marry my Qing Dynasty woman!"
"In the future, your child will be the queen, and your grandson will be the emperor. This throne will eventually fall into your family!"
Queen Xiaozhuang said one after another, describing the future very well.
Lin Fan grinned and said with a chuckle: "That's not necessary. I am not interested in the throne of you slaves at all, and I don't dare to be interested in the women of you slaves."
"However, in order to make Dorgon surrender, I can only wrong you!"
"Come here! Lock all these women together and tell Dorgon that as long as he doesn't surrender for one day, I will kill one person every day and hang them on the city gate!"
"Kill all the way to the little emperor's head!"
After Lin Fan finished speaking, all the concubines that Huang Taiji had married beside Empress Xiaozhuang screamed in fright, and Dorgon's wife also shrank back in fright.
Lin Fan directly ordered the killing of three people, including Dai Shan, whose heads were hung on the city gate of Shengjing. When Dorgon found out about this, he was extremely angry.
"Ah! Damn it! This Lin Fan is so cruel. He kills one person a day. Daishan! He is actually dead!"
Dorgon roared angrily.
Hauge was also anxious. No matter what, Fulin was his younger brother, and he would be better as emperor than Dorgon!
If he died, who else could stop Dorgon from becoming the emperor of the Qing Dynasty?
"Dorgon, Zhaisang should have returned to Mongolia, right?
He has hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry there, and they are all elites. If he can come, we can still save the defeat!"
Hauge said coldly.
"That's right! Fortunately, I asked Zhai Sang to go back in advance. Otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to turn around this time. I will send people to Mongolia now to ask Zhai Sang to send troops back to the source!"
Dorgon said coldly.
This was also a helpless move. Zhai Sang was Fulin's grandfather, and now his troops were greatly damaged. Zhai Sang came with his troops and defeated the Ming army. This was the end of his role as regent.
Hauge naturally took this into consideration. As the saying goes, it is better to be a piece of jade than to be a piece of brick. If he cannot be the emperor, Dorgon will not want to be the regent.
The two were still secretly competing at this time, and Lin Fan had been observing the movements in Liaoyang City. At this time, the situation here had undergone very subtle changes.
Dorgon was a powerful force in Liaoyang City, but because there was not much food and grass, he was very restless.
The generals of Fuzhou, Ninghai, and Gaiping have formed an alliance. Once the Qing troops attack, they will work together to resist the Qing troops.
Lin Fan, on the other hand, has always formed a line of defense with Guangning City, leaving very little space for Liaoyang City. As a result, even if they have money, it will be difficult for them to obtain food.
"Sir, we are still at a stalemate, and Dorgon has not sent troops to attack Shanhaiguan!"
Zhu Cijiong waited for two days and saw no movement from Dorgon, so he couldn't help but ask.
