Chapter 712 Azig is the Emperor

The Qing Dynasty capital, the Ming Dynasty Beijing City.

When Wu Sangui showed up the Pass and the Eight Banners entered the Pass, Li Zicheng, Guanning and the Qing army, retreated from Beijing in panic after a battle of Shishi.

This incident has only been more than ten years since then. Li Zicheng's escape, the panic of the Dashun regime, is still in the eyes of the people of Beijing, and the Qing regime has repeated this scene.

At this time, the Qing Dynasty regime, which occupied Beijing for thirteen years, reappeared in the panic of Dashun, and Fulin fled from Beijing overnight.

With the Azige army approaching Shanhaiguan again, Fulin was scared.

In order to avoid being trapped in Beijing and being attacked on both sides, at Fulin's insistence, the Qing Dynasty court quietly withdrew from Beijing on the night of the 20th day of the first lunar month, leaving Juyongguan and entering Xuanfu.

Faced with internal and external military pressure, Fulin believed that it was difficult for him to fight against Ajige and Wu Yue's army at the same time, so he chose to avoid the edge.

Of course, compared to Li Zicheng's brainless journey, Fu Lin has a large number of think tanks around him, and he has actually thought about the retreat westward.

In the Shunzhi court, Feng Quan, Hong Chengchou and others had feelings and reflections on the demise of the Chongzhen Dynasty.

One of the important reasons for the demise of the Chongzhen Dynasty was that there was Li Zicheng inside and the Qing Dynasty outside.

The current situation of Shunzhi is similar to that of Chongzhen. In order to avoid falling into the dilemma of the two lines, Fulin insisted, Hong Chengchou and others summarized the experience of the failure of the Chongzhen dynasty and suggested that Fulin move westward.

Although once Beijing is abandoned, the Shunzhi court will inevitably suffer a heavy blow and the orthodox status of the Qing Dynasty is shaken, it is better than being taken away in one fell swoop.

In addition, if Beijing is given up, the pressure from the Wu Yue army must be borne by Ajige. Shunzhi can rebuild the imperial court in Shanxi or Guanzhong, and when Ajige and Wu Yue army are exhausted, they will send troops to retake Beijing.

The plan was settled, and Fulin took his harem's family and left the capital overnight.

At the same time, the order for Mandahai and Luke Dehun to withdraw their troops, and the troops from Zhili Province, Zhending and Shunde to retreat west to Jingxing. The governor of Shanxi also ordered the troops to guard the eight paths of Taihang, preparing to block Ajige's pursuers.

However, although the plan is good, it is not that easy to operate.

First, Mandahai and Luke Dehun were defeated by Ajige and suffered heavy losses. They led the defeated troops and fled from Tianjin to Beijing. Before entering the capital, they walked around the city and chased Fulin into Xuanfu.

The Mongolian cavalry who accompanied him suffered a defeat outside the pass and another defeat inside the pass. When Fulin's court fled from Beijing, his army's morale dispersed immediately, and his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty was greatly reduced.

The frightening power of the Fulin regime and the appearance of fleeing in a panic were seen by the Mongolians, and the deterrence of the Eight Banners soldiers on Mongolia was greatly weakened.

For the sake of Fulin and Bumubutai, Korqin Mongolia escorted Fulin to Taiyuan, but Chahar Mongolia had an affair with the Qing Dynasty. He robbed security guards in Xuanfu, Huailai and Yanqing, looted a large number of property and livestock, and abducted tens of thousands of people to return to the north.

This greatly weakened Fulin's strength in the court.

Manchus and Mongolia were originally combined with interests, but now the Qing Dynasty's control over Mongolia is gradually declining.

After Fulin entered Xuanfu, Mandahai and Luke Dehun immediately led his troops to chase him.

At this time, there were more than 100,000 Qing troops gathered in Xuanfu. Mandahai suggested that Shunzhi send troops to guard Juyongguan, and at the same time, he took Xuanfu as his position to observe the situation in Beijing, and wait for Ajige to fight with Wu Yue army to capture Beijing and restore his foundation.

However, Fulin was less than 20 years old after all. He was born in the deep palace and grew up as a woman. He did not accept the tempering of war like his parents and brothers, and his will was not very firm.

Fulin did not follow Mandahai's advice, and believed that Xuanfu was too close to Beijing and had no sense of security, so he insisted on going to Taiyuan.

The Taiyuan Basin is surrounded by mountains, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and relatively wealthy, Fulin insists on going, but as soon as he leaves, Chahar Mongolia loots Xuanfu and returns north, unwilling to continue to follow Fulin.

...

In the early morning, the vanguard of the Xuzhou Corps advanced through the wilderness in the southern suburbs of Beijing.

Azig rode a tall horse and led the elite of two white flags, and appeared in the southern suburbs of Beijing as a victorious person.

At this time, Ajige had already received a report from the scout, and the remaining Dorgon party in Beijing also sent him news that Fulin's son had fled Beijing, making Beijing an empty city.

This disappointed Ajige. Fulin's child should have burned himself to death or disappeared like Jianwen, but this beast was afraid of death and fled from Beijing without any backbone.

Ajige didn't know that most of the emperors in the Qing Dynasty were like this, and it was common for the later emperors to go to Chengde to escape the summer heat.

When Fulin escaped, he would inevitably rebuild the imperial court in Shanxi, causing trouble for Ajige. However, Ajige had occupied Beijing, and Fulin fled in panic. He was successful in his rebellion.

After Fulin withdrew from Beijing, the Manchu nobles who had originally joined Dorgon opened the city gate and welcomed Ajige outside Yongding Gate.

Since Mandahai and others made a coup, assassination of Dorgon and seizing power, Dorgon's followers in Beijing have been suppressed by Fulin. Many of them have been dismissed from office and idle, and some have been thrown into prison for some trivial matters.

Now that Ajig has entered Beijing, these people have undoubtedly turned over and sang again.

Two white flag nobles in Beijing welcomed Ajige. Dozens of people surrounded Ajige and cried about the suffering they suffered in the past two years, asking Ajige to liquidate the Fulin Group.

"Prince, the Regent did not die after falling off a horse, but was actually stabbed by Mandahai. The Prince wants to avenge the Regent!" The old man with two white flags cried bitterly.

"Prince, since the Regent was stabbed, two yellow flags, two red flags, and two blue people, they have snatched our flag fields and injured our family. Please let the prince decide for us!"

When Ajige heard these people telling each other, he was very angry. However, Dorgon was dead after all, and these people were bullied for more than a day or two, so he was not in a hurry to take revenge.

Now, Azig has more important things to do and wants to do.

That is to ascend the throne to become emperor, which is Azige's always ambition.

Now that he finally entered Beijing, he couldn't wait.

At that moment, Ajige comforted him impatiently: "Don't worry, I will avenge the regent, and I will deal with your grievances one by one. However, now that Fulin's son has abandoned his ancestors' foundation, the court cannot be without a master for a day. The first priority at the moment is to choose one person to be the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty!"

Ajige said so clearly that everyone immediately reacted and said, "Prince Ying is the son of Taizu. He is brave and good at fighting. He has made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty and has a higher prestige than many royal families. He should be the lord of slaves and others and be promoted to the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty!"

Ajige is not like others. He is a bitch and has a archway. He doesn't give in and laughs immediately, "Haha, I will follow the wishes of all the ministers."

At this moment, Ajige comforted these people with kind words, and then surrounded by his subordinates, he went straight through Zhengyang Gate and entered the inner city.

The next day, Azige ascended the throne in the Forbidden City with the support of more than 20 Manchu nobles including Holohui, Suksah, Ramb, Doni, Hedu, and Fuleh, and ascended the throne and changed the lunar name to Chongwu.

After Ajig ascended the throne and became emperor, he immediately sent messengers to impose decrees on northern provinces, requiring all regions to submit to Chongwu court.

At the same time, in order to vent the hatred in his heart, Ajige cleaned up the Shunzhi system in Beijing that had time to withdraw.
