The Manchu and Qing cavalry were like sandbags, knocked down by shotguns one after another and fell to the ground.
The remaining cavalry are still awake. The three misfired cannons just now greatly stimulated their luck mentality. If the weakness of the Tiger and Ben army can be discovered, this war can be won outside Shenyang City, and there is no need to destroy everything and flee to the north.
Go. The Tatar officers shouted loudly and directed the cavalry to charge into the formation with their heads down.
However, none of the soldiers of the Huben Army in front were vegetarians.
The crackling gunfire sounded, and more than 800 rounds of bullets were like a storm, sweeping towards the charging Manchu and Qing cavalry. The Tatars seemed to have been hammered hard, and a large piece fell in an instant
The cavalrymen in the rear row bypassed the corpses of the cavalrymen in the front row and only ran forward ten meters before they were fired upon by another round.
The cavalry were like fruits blown by the strong wind, plopping to the ground, piece after piece.
The cavalrymen in Jilhalang were immediately stunned. How could this be a "panic" recruit? This was definitely a well-trained force.
Just within a few seconds of their hesitation, the third salvo struck again.
Another large piece of the Tatar vanguard fell.
When the Tatars were probing around the Tiger and Ben army, the damage caused by solid cannon rounds was limited. But now they were tricked by Li Zhi into charging towards the back of the formation, and the losses were heavy. Five thousand people only charged.
After more than twenty seconds, nearly two thousand corpses were dropped in front of the formation.
Of the five thousand charging Tatars, only three thousand were left in an instant. The morale of this unit collapsed. How could the Tatars still alive dare to charge forward? They turned around and ran away without hesitation, riding towards the northeast.
Escape.
The flight of these 3,000 men immediately led to the other cavalry. More than 40,000 Manchu and Qing cavalry did not dare to test Li Zhi's strength anymore. They fled north one by one and quickly left the battlefield.
Shengjing of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was completely abandoned and exposed nakedly in front of the Huben Army.
Li Zhi waved his hand and shouted: "Enter Shenyang!"
####
Shenyang fell to the Hou Jin Dynasty in March of the first year of Tianqi. At that time, Nurhachi took advantage of the power of the victory over Sarhu and went south to capture Fengji Fort, Shenyang and Liaoyang. Shenyang has since been called the city of the Hou Jin Dynasty.
It has been twenty-four years now.
Twenty-four years is already a generation.
In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Nurhaci moved the capital to Shenyang and designated Shenyang as the center of Jurchen rule outside the customs.
Faced with Li Zhi's conquest this time, Dorgon knew he was outmatched, so he fortified the wall and fled northward. Li Zhi regained Shenyang, and there was no Jurchen power south of Shenyang. The Liaodong Town of the Ming Dynasty was mainly Liaoning Province in later generations.
The southern coastal areas have now all recovered.
What the Qi and Zhen dynasties had dreamed of, was easily accomplished by Li Zhi. The land that had been lost for thirty years was all recaptured in one fell swoop.
The Jurchens who fled north in embarrassment returned to the white mountains and black waters where they started.
Li Zhi led his military generals, 40,000 expeditionary troops and 40,000 Liao civilians into the city, and walked in the capital of the Jurchens with great interest.
The first thing that caught the eyes of Li Zhi and others was the blacksmith shop in the south of the city. The Tatars attached great importance to armaments. Although they massacred Liao people in recent years and turned Liaodong with more than one million people into a no-man's land, they did not kill skilled blacksmiths.
The Liao blacksmiths and the blacksmiths plundered from the customs became slaves of the Jurchens, making armor and weapons for the Jurchens day and night.
Almost all the steel obtained from Shanxi merchants or Koreans was turned into weapons and equipment for the Manchu soldiers and horses. There were one after another blacksmith shops in the south of the city, stretching from the outside to the inside of the city wall. There were at least thousands of them.
At this time, the blacksmiths had been kidnapped by Dorgon and headed north. The blacksmith shop was in a mess. There were charcoal and firewood everywhere on the ground, and the stove for burning iron was also destroyed. The floor was covered with broken bricks, probably because Li Zhi's blacksmith was not allowed to work. Repair weapons.
Li Zhi snorted coldly: "Despicable barbarian!"
Going further north is the commercial district of the city. All the food supplies in the city have been transported away by the Tatars, and there is nothing in the shops on both sides of the road. Even the furniture and door panels have been removed by the Jurchens and taken away. Except for those in the city The buildings were not burned down, and the Jurchens did not leave any supplies for Li Zhi.
Going further north is the Manchu and Qing Imperial Palace in Shenyang.
Compared with the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial palace of the Qing Dynasty was much shabby. Han Jinxin took out a piece of paper from his arms and walked beside Li Zhi to act as a tour guide.
"My lord, this is the Great Qing Gate, the main entrance of the entire palace."
Zhong Feng looked at the gate and couldn't help but said: "The gate of the Tartar palace is really not as impressive as the gate of the Duke's Palace."
Li Zhi nodded and followed Han Jinxin into the palace.
"This is the Chongzheng Hall! It is the place where the slave chief Dorgon held court meetings and entertained foreign envoys."
"This is the Phoenix Tower. The Tatars don't know much about architecture and have never seen tall buildings, so they built such a three-story building in the palace and thought it was majestic and majestic. In fact, I feel that this small building is neither fish nor fowl."
"This is the Qingning Palace, the lair where the slave chief Dorgon lives!"
The palace was not big, and the building specifications were not high. The Jurchens did not use verandah roofs to build roofs at all, but used the hard gable roofs of Ming and Ming Dynasty buildings. After looking around, Li Zhi smiled and said: "Unexpectedly They arrived in Shenyang so quickly, but the palace built by the Tatars was very crude! From now on, this palace will be called 'Beidi Palace', and it will serve as my residence in Shenyang."
After turning around, Li Zhi walked out of the Tatar palace.
Outside the palace gate, 40,000 people from Liaodong were already kneeling on the ground, crying with tears streaming down their faces.
As soon as Li Zhi came out, the Liao people on the ground kowtowed to Li Zhi desperately.
Li Zhi smiled, walked to a middle-aged Liao citizen and helped him up.
"Why is everyone kneeling down?"
Although the middle-aged man was still strong, his hair was completely white. Seeing Li Zhi helping him up, he wiped his tears excitedly and said, "Your Excellency, we and other common people were originally from Jinzhou, Liaodong Town. We are a military household of Wei. Twenty years ago, the Tatars occupied Liaodong and massacred the Han people. We tried our best to escape to western Liaoning. We were so panic-stricken during the escape that we were almost killed by the Tatars who caught up with us."
"My younger brother Du Youdi died when he encountered the Tatar pursuers on the road."
As he talked, the Liao citizen started crying again, wiping his tears and said:
"The common people never thought, never thought, never thought that they would be able to return to Liaodong in their lifetime. Now that the Duke of Guo has regained Liaodong, we can return to this homeland again. We can cultivate the fields and have children on the homeland of our ancestors. ! The Duke is the great hero of our Han family, we must kowtow to him!"
Before Li Zhi could help him up, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Li Zhi again.
The people around him burst into tears and kowtowed to Li Zhi desperately.
"The Duke is the great hero of our Han family!"
"The Duke of Guo is even more amazing than Saint Yue! Saint Guan!"
