Hong Chengchou looked at Dorgon's surrender conditions and booed for a while.
"The Tatars rampaged across Liaodong and western Liaoning, and invaded and plundered countless times. The expression of our Ming border army changed. I didn't expect that now I am as vulnerable as a sick cat under the hands of the Duke of the country. I can only kneel down and beg for mercy."
Hong Chengchou bowed to Li Zhi and said: "The Duke is a true hero. If he accepts Dongnu as a vassal, he will not lose a world-class martial arts performance."
Zu Dashou pondered and said: "Soldiers are on dangerous roads. If we only leave a hundred miles around Alchuka to Dorgon, we will save a fight..."
Li Zhi snorted coldly and said: "How many people have the Tatars killed in the past few decades? After occupying Liaodong, they killed all the Han people and their blood flowed everywhere. They entered the fortress several times and massacred the city whenever they encountered resistance. They died tragically in the Tatars
There are millions of Han people under the sword. Now I have led an army to attack and have reached Alchuka. Dorgon wants to surrender so easily, but it is not that easy."
"Tell Dorgon that you can surrender if you want. But the conditions are not what he said. Jurchen men, including Nurhaci's descendants and nephews, will all be made slaves and will cultivate farmland for our Han'er farmers in Liaodong. They will not be allowed to have offspring.
All women were made slaves and could have children, but they could only have children with Han men, and they could not enjoy the treatment of wives and concubines, nor could they own any property."
After everyone heard Li Zhi's words, everyone was startled.
Hong Chengchou took a breath and said: "The Duke of the State is going to destroy the Jurchen clan. If this policy is implemented for thirty years, there will be no Jurchen clan in the world." After thinking about it, Hong Chengchou said again: "I'm afraid Dorgon will kill him no matter what.
I won’t agree.”
Li Zhi said calmly: "What I want is that he doesn't agree. After beating him down on the battlefield, I will give the Tatars even more cruelty. I will thoroughly investigate these Jurchens with bloody hands. Anyone who has participated in the entry
Jurchen Tatars who have looted or massacred Han people in Liaodong will all be shot."
Hong Chengchou was stunned and said: "Tatar men can join the army as long as they have a steel knife. I am afraid that there are five out of ten Tatars who have killed Han people. In total, I am afraid there are hundreds of thousands of people...
"
"Could it be that the Duke wants to kill all these hundreds of thousands of people?"
Li Zhi said calmly: "Killing these hundreds of thousands of people is an explanation for the compatriots who died tragically at the hands of the Tatars."
When the generals heard Li Zhi's murderous words, all of them were stunned. Everyone secretly said that the Duke of Guo was really cruel to the enemy and was really tough when he avenged the Han people. They couldn't help but bowed to Li Zhi and bowed.

After receiving Li Zhi's reply, Dorgon felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Ji'erharang glanced at Li Zhi's letter and burst into tears: "I thought of the Jurchens who founded the state and conquered the north and south for decades. At one time, the territory was thousands of miles away and even seemed to take over the Central Plains. In the end, it ended up like this.
"
Jierhalang suddenly remembered something, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, maybe we can continue to flee north. Let's flee to the north of the Black Water!"
Dorgon did not answer Jierhalang's words, but sighed helplessly.
Du Du, the king of Anping County, burst into tears, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, not only are the Baoyi slaves fleeing seriously, but even Ye Hebu and other Jurchens are very dissatisfied with us. If we retreat to the north without fighting, not only the Eight Banners Manchuria will be
If it completely collapses, I am afraid that our Aixinjueluo clan will be jointly attacked by other Jurchen tribes, and we may not even be able to find a foothold."
The so-called "trees fall and the hozens scatter" refers to the current Manchu Qing Dynasty.
The Aixinjueluo family's rule over the Jurchens in recent years was also very cruel.
In Liaodong, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was dominated by the Aisin Gioro nobles. Except for a very small number of Jurchen tribes conquered by the Hou Jin Dynasty, the nobles could intermarry with the Aisin Gioro family, and the rest were reduced to the lowest level.
On the battlefield, Aixinjueluo often forced warriors from other Jurchen tribes to charge as "death warriors". These warriors wore heavy clothes and went into battle first, doing a life of narrow escape. If the warriors were afraid, fled or retreated, the Manchus and even
The entire tribe of these dead warriors will be slaughtered as revenge.
In the era before Li Zhi, the Jurchens at the lowest level could still follow Huang Taiji into the customs to rob. The Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers were afraid of Hou Jin or the Qing army and did not dare to fight, so the Jurchens could grab a lot of money. However, since Li Zhi
After the rise of Zhi, the robbery business was no longer possible, and the Jurchens of other tribes became increasingly dissatisfied with the Aixinjueluo family.
If Dorgon fails to win a victory in Alchuka and continues to flee north, I am afraid that not only the Han people will flee, but even other Jurchen tribes will bite the Aixinjueluo family back.
The last line of defense of the Qing Dynasty is in Alchuka, and it can only be in Alchuka. If they retreat further to the north, the wall will collapse and everyone will push against it. If things get to that point, Aixinjue
Luo Shi will fall into an irreversible fate. It may be even worse than accepting Li Zhi's surrender conditions, and the men will be slaves and the women will be maids.
Dorgon sat on a big chair wrapped in tiger skin, holding the armrests tightly with both hands, his face pale.
Prince Li Daishan is the second son of Nurhaci, and he is already sixty-two years old. Over the years, he has gradually stopped taking charge, but at this critical moment of life and death for the Aixinjueluo family, he returned to the decision-making level, working with Dorgon and others
People discuss things together.
But he is old after all.
Hearing Du Du's words, Dai Shan seemed to have been hammered in his heart, and felt a little desolate. His whole body went limp, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, and in his old voice, he knelt down towards the door of the house:
"Father Khan! Father Khan, please don't leave. Father Khan, you can't leave us alone."
Sixty-two-year-old Daishan was completely overcome by fear, and actually called Nurhaci to the door of the empty house, as if only Nurhachi's spirit could save Aixinjueluo.
When the kings and Baylor in the room saw this scene, they stared at the empty door of the room, their faces expressionless, as if Nurhachi was really standing there.
Dorgon closed his eyes and opened them after a long time.
"At this moment, there is no other way."
"When Li Zhi's soldiers and horses left the camp, we rushed Li Zhi's central army with 60,000 warriors who had followed our father Khan in Sarhu. We united as one and defeated Li Zhi's central army in one go. As long as the formation killed Li Zhi,
Zhi, Li Zhi's 40,000 troops and horses will collapse without a fight."

On the fifth day of September, Zheng Kaicheng's 10,000 Polu Division soldiers arrived on the battlefield.
Worried about being attacked from both sides, the Manchu Qing's 120,000 troops withdrew from the siege of Li Zhi's camp and formed an array to the north of Li Zhi's camp.
The 120,000-strong army faced off against Li Zhi's 44,000 Northern Expeditionary Army. Tens of thousands of large and small flags fluttered on the battlefield line several miles long, like a boiling ocean.
Li Zhi prepared to attack Dorgon's army and commanded 40,000 riflemen to form a zigzag formation.
In the center of the formation, Li Laosi looked at the Tatar formation, raised his hands to Li Zhi and said: "My boss, I think the Tatar formation is to attack our front and to attack our central army.
