Bumbutai, the Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty, finally breathed a sigh of relief after the regent Dorgon went to the front line, and then started to take small actions.
The last time at the Chongzheng Palace, she was very happy after seeing the little emperor's status among the Qing subjects. Although Obai was transferred to the front line, she still quietly promoted some people who supported the little emperor.
Bumbutai has a plan. The number does not need to be large, and the promoted position does not need to be high. As long as more and more people are loyal to the emperor, when her son grows up and needs to be in charge, he will be a force that Dorgon cannot ignore.
Originally, she was planning to continue making small moves while Dorgon was not in Haizhou. But unexpectedly, bad news came one after another.
First, the Japanese envoy from Korea went to Liaodong to ask for help. The first stop was Haizhou, which shocked Bumubutai.
But that's okay, she doesn't care much about the affairs of Japan.
However, what followed was a great defeat in the grassland. She immediately became worried about her parents' family.
The royal family of Jianlu was different from that of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty had regulations starting from Emperor Taizu Hongwu: the queen must be selected from a commoner family, or a small family, and not from a large and wealthy family, to prevent the influence of the powerful relatives on the government.
Because the Jianlu were weak, they needed to unite vertically and horizontally. Huang Taiji alone married one Horqin tribe and married one after another. In order to appease the Mongols, he even married Lin Dan Khan's wife after defeating him.
.
Therefore, the woman who builds the Imperial Palace must definitely depend on her mother's family's strength.
If the natal family is not powerful, it will be easy for them to be ostracized or even killed by other women, thus giving rise to a series of palace fights.
After the defeat in the grassland, Bumbutai's first thought was that the Horqin tribe was also wiped out. Will her son's throne be affected?
Just when she was anxious and at a loss, Jinzhou's troops fled to Haizhou. Those with horses and those not on the front line were the fastest to escape.
As soon as Bumbutai heard about Jinzhou's defeat, he immediately fled to Liaoyang with the little emperor Fulin without saying a word. After only staying for a day, he felt that it was still not safe in Liaoyang, so he immediately ran away again, taking the little emperor Fulin with him.
Escape back to your old nest, which is Shengjing.
On the Shengjing side, Daishan is in charge.
And Daishan's attitude is also that of supporting the little emperor Fulin.
For this reason, Bumbutai immediately approached Daishan and hurriedly asked how to deal with the current situation.
When encountering a real military and national event, she was completely helpless!
But if we really wanted to say that she was panicked, Daishan was actually more panicked than she was.
After the defeat in the Battle of the Grassland, Bumbutai only thought about the destruction of the Horqin tribe and the loss of support for his natal family; but Daishan thought that after the Ming army swept across the eastern Mongolian grassland, it would inevitably attack the Qing Dynasty. At that time, then,
The long connecting line with the grassland, I don’t know how to defend it?
In other words, the invasion of the Qing Dynasty by the Ming cavalry is a foregone conclusion!
Also, the Jinzhou War was unexpectedly defeated. This was a battle for the fate of the Qing Dynasty. If this battle was defeated, no matter what the loss, it would be a very serious blow to the Qing Dynasty, and it would have a very heavy impact on the morale of the military!
The Ming army in the Western Liaoning Corridor will soon reach Haizhou, and then they will definitely attack Anshan Post, Liaoyang, and Shengjing.
At this time, no matter what we do, one thing is doomed: the Qing Dynasty is on the verge of life and death, and the capital city of Shengjing will definitely not be saved.
At this time, Dai Shan remembered Hong Chengchou's proposal at the beginning: the Qing Dynasty would withdraw northward, lengthen the length of the Ming army's logistics supply line, increase the difficulty of the Ming army's logistics supply, and then look for fighters.
However, after the Battle of Jinzhou, no one knows how many troops the Qing Dynasty still has available!
Therefore, the most critical thing Daishan faced was to organize the existing troops and organize the orderly withdrawal of troops and civilians to the north before the Ming army reached the hinterland of Liaodong.
If there is panic, it will easily lead to collapse. If that happens, the Qing Dynasty will cease to exist.
The old Daishan did not expect that he would encounter such a thing before he died. His hair turned gray overnight.
At this time, the slow Bumubutai finally came to her senses. The successive defeats of the Qing Dynasty would not only affect her family, but also threaten the life and death of the Qing Dynasty. She suddenly became even more panicked and wanted to continue.
Run away and leave Shengjing, which feels unsafe.
When Daishan heard the report, he immediately rushed to stop Bumubutai, who was about to run away with the little emperor Fulin, and said to her: "Don't panic, you are the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty, the biological mother of the emperor, and you are the mother of the Qing Dynasty."
Jiangshan strategy must stabilize the military morale and the morale of the Qing Dynasty!"
"Being the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty is not that easy. Since you are bound to win the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, now is the time when the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty needs to take responsibility. If you dare to escape, I will immediately support the regent as the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty!"
Daishan obviously knew what Bumubutai cared about. After saying this, Bumubutai hesitated. Seeing this, Daishan softened his tone and began to comfort Bumubutai: "Actually, the situation is still good.
It’s not that bad!”
After hearing this, Bumbutai immediately looked at Daishan with expectation, wanting to hear him say that there was no reason why the situation was so bad! She felt that as a woman, she would definitely not be able to see as well as a battle-hardened prince like Daishan.
clear.
"Jinzhou is a big defeat. If the remaining defeated soldiers are gathered together, they can still have two to three hundred thousand people." Daishan said to her, "Now the regent has fled to Liaoyang and is presiding over military affairs in Liaoyang. Before you came back, you were at Anshan Station
The layout of the fort is very good, and it is heavily guarded. I believe that after the regent recovers, he will also increase his support for the natural danger of Anshan Posthouse. It will definitely not be a problem to hold off the Ming army for ten and a half days!"
When Bumbutai heard Daishan's praise for her, she didn't know why, but she felt confident in her heart and began to calm down.
Daishan, on the other hand, continued to analyze for her: "With the regent guarding Liaoyang, it will be impossible for the Ming army to attack Shengjing, at least in the short term. On the contrary, they may run out of food, and then
We will face winter and have to withdraw our troops!"
When Bumbutai heard this, he became even more happy. It seemed that the Qing Dynasty was in danger, but at least there was no danger this year.
But who knows, Daishan changed the subject and continued to say to her: "But after the Ming cavalry swept across the grassland, they would definitely invade the Qing Dynasty, and their target would definitely be Shengjing. For this reason, in
At this time, it is necessary for the Qing Dynasty to move the capital. However, there must be no panic or chaos. The capital must be moved in an orderly manner!"
However, as soon as Bumubutai heard that the Ming Kingdom's prairie cavalry would attack Shengjing and that Shengjing was empty, even she, a woman, knew it, she immediately panicked again and asked quickly: "Then move the capital quickly.
, but where should the capital of the Qing Dynasty be located?”
"Ning Guta!" Daishan had obviously thought about it and immediately gave an answer.
"Ah? Where?" Bumbutai couldn't believe his ears when he heard it, and quickly confirmed, "Ninggu Pagoda? Isn't that too remote?"
You must know that in the original history, Ninggu Pagoda was used by prisoners of war to exile prisoners, and it was one of the most desolate areas ruled by the Qing Dynasty.
By moving the capital to Ninggu Pagoda, doesn't it mean that he has been exiled entirely?
Daishan nodded solemnly and replied: "Yes, Ninggu Pagoda! It is suitable to be the capital of the Qing Dynasty. Not only is it far enough away from the grassland, it is not easy for the Ming army to attack, but there is also the Qing Dynasty in the north of Ning Gu Pagoda.
There is no need to worry about living in the grain fields."
"But...but..." When thinking of Ninggu Pagoda, it is still a desolate place, otherwise, Hauge who might cause trouble would not be thrown there, Bumubutai still felt that
A little scared.
However, she also knew that since it was Daishan who proposed it, that place was probably a suitable place. She wanted to find a reason to refuse or find a new place, but there was nothing she could say, so she stuttered.
Daishan saw it and knew what she was thinking. At the same time, he also knew that many people in the Qing Dynasty were probably afraid of Ning Guta like Bumbutai and did not want to go there.
However, besides Ninggu Pagoda, he really couldn't think of any place more suitable for moving the capital than Ninggu Pagoda.
The entire Qing Dynasty, that is, the central areas of Liaodong such as Shengjing and Liaoyang, were relatively prosperous, while other places were very desolate.
After living a good life, many people will be unhappy if they want to move to a harsh place.
However, now that the Ming army is at its peak, Dai Shan is still worried that the new capital is not remote enough and the roads are not rugged enough. If that happens, the Ming army will definitely follow and pursue it.
With this in mind, he began to do Bu Mu Butai's ideological work again, letting the Queen Mother and the young emperor take the lead in moving the capital calmly, so as to reduce the chaos of the Qing Dynasty and the resulting losses.
Fortunately, Bumubutai still knew some sense of propriety. After Daishan's earnest persuasion, she finally agreed to Daishan's plan, and she was willing to cooperate for the sake of her son.
Daishan persuaded Bumbutai, and immediately sent reconnaissance cavalry to the grassland to prevent the Ming cavalry from raiding, and then began to make arrangements to move the capital.
When the news spread, it was really thanks to the Queen Mother and the young emperor who took the lead that Jianlu would not be in chaos.
However, what they never expected was that at this moment, Kuai Ma Express delivered bad news to Shengjing.
"What?" When Dai Shan heard this, he stood up on the spot in shock and confirmed with an incredulous expression, "Anshan Posthouse was captured by the Ming army in just one day, and now the troops have reached Liaoyang?"
Dai Shan personally inquired about the defense situation, troop distribution, etc. of Anshan Posthouse, and felt that no matter how powerful the Ming army was, it would definitely be no problem to defend it for ten days and a half.
Unexpectedly, he was captured by the Ming army in one day, which made him a little unbelievable!
The capture of Anshan Posthouse by the Ming Army meant that the Ming Army opened the door to Liaoyang and Shengjing!
