Chapter 884: Abandon the capital and flee to the west
In the following time, under the supervision of the Tang army, the Qing Dynasty completed thorough rectification from internal affairs to military affairs.
In the initial stage, due to the strong implementation of the Tang army and the ruling and discooperation of officials from various places, riots occurred in various places. However, the Tang army immediately sent troops to suppress the riots and took a large number of uncooperative Qing officials, which quickly reversed the situation. The riots in various places were quickly quelled and the Qing Dynasty was safe again.
The riots in various places were all suppressed by the Tang army, and all kinds of measures and changes began to take the right path. If you stand on the streets of Shengjing, or other territory, or even in Hetuala, the Longxing land of the Qing court, at first glance, the streets and all walks of life were like the Han system, which was similar to the mainland cities. The locals, whether Manchu, Mongolian and Han, were all in Han costumes. Except that their hair had not yet grown long and were slightly different from the mainland Han people, they were basically the same, and there was no difference.
What is even more ridiculous and lamentable is that even the Qing Dynasty officials in various places were forced to be changed to Han officials by the Tang army, which was exactly the same as the official costumes of the Ming Dynasty.
Such a change was a heart-killing blow for the Qing court.
About ten days after the Tang army's order, Dorgon gathered 100,000 Qing troops, commanded by Prince Ying Ajige, and bid farewell outside the south gate of Shengjing City, preparing to let him be a servant of the Tang army and cooperate with the Tang army to fight against Dashun.
On the day when Ajige's 100,000 Qing troops left, Dorgon and the court officials standing at the southern gate of Shengjing, looked at them and saw that they were all wearing purple and red clothes, all of which were Ming Dynasty official uniforms. In addition to being unable to wear a hairpin, they were almost no different from Han officials.
Dorgon, dressed in the costume of a prince of the Ming Dynasty, and a group of officials in purple and red clothes, silently sent Ajige, who was dressed the same as the Han general, onto the horse.
"Ajige, be sure to take care of yourself when you go this time." Dorgon looked at Ajige who was sitting upright on his horse, and his voice was choked.
He wanted to say two more, but when he saw the cold squint of the civil servant from the Tang Army Supervisor's Office next to him, he had to swallow his whole heart and say his whole heart.
Ajige looked solemn, nodded without saying much, but just bowed his hand and shouted, leading his troops south. Behind them, a large number of Qing troops followed him. On both sides of the Qing army, there were soldiers from the 11th town of the Tang army responsible for supervising the escort. The 100,000 troops were in a huge formation, rolling up smoke and dust in the sky and rolling south.
After witnessing the 100,000 soldiers and horses led by the Tang army, they marched south all the way and finally disappeared, Dorgon and the officials returned sadly and everyone scattered themselves.
After returning to Shengjing Palace, Dorgon couldn't help but sigh to the sky.
This farewell is really a kind of feeling of sending the prince away again, and the grass is full of farewell feelings.
Half an hour later, in the Yanqing Palace in Shengjing, Dorgon, dressed in the robe of the python of the Ming Dynasty prince, and Bumubutai, who had changed to the costume of the empress dowager of the Ming Dynasty, sat opposite each other silently.
Finally, Dorgon sighed and whispered: "Da Yuer, Ajige is leading the troops this time. I have secretly instructed him to cherish his troops and act carefully, and not be foolishly used as cannon fodder for the Tang army. He has made a promise to me and promise..."
"Regent, don't say this anymore." Bumubutai smiled bitterly and said, "Ajige is a rash man, lacking wisdom and strategy. It is not easy to bring this army back in the end. How can I hope for anything else? I just sighed in my heart that although the Qing Dynasty has been spared from the war and can survive, it has been transformed from top to bottom by the Tang army. It is already a country that the Southern Song Dynasty had to be humble and helpless. Whenever I think about this, I am very sad. I am afraid that in the future, the Qing Dynasty will fall and no longer have the possibility of reviving it."
Dorgon was in a state of confusion and pain, but he had to comfort her, "Da Yu'er, don't be so sad. Things have not been so bad, and you can still do something secretly. After all, this change of customs is the skill of water grinding, the rope sawed and wood cut, and the water dripped through stones. After a long time, he saw his achievements. Although Li Xiao used his actions in this way, he suppressed all the people and officials with the violence of the Tang army, but everyone was angry and unbearable, but he had to obey his tyranny for the time being. If the control of the Tang army weakened in the future, or if there was a change in its country, I believe that it would be difficult to let the Qing officials and people return to the old customs."
Bumu Butai didn't reply, but his eyes gradually turned red again. She said softly: "Oh, it's rare for us to live under the tiger's claws. It's useless to talk about anything else. I just feel that although the Tang army lets me wait for a way out now, I'm afraid that the Tang King Li Xiao will not let us go after Li Zicheng in the future. At that time, what can I do to restore the Qing Dynasty?"
When Bumubutai asked this sad voice, it was like a sharp thorn, piercing Dorgon's heart.
Yes, now all over the country, from officials to the people, from government affairs to soldiers and horses, are under the control of the Tang army, and they are like puppets. Although there is nothing wrong with this situation, if the Tang army turns against each other in the future, what else can it do besides surrendering it?
The Qing Dynasty, whether it was royal officials or ordinary people, were all involved in Li Xiao’s thoughts. How could Xin Chu describe such a dangerous situation?
Dorgon sighed softly and comforted him again: "Da Yu'er, don't worry about anything. I see Li Xiao's actions, and he has always been loyal to his faith and will not do such a rogue thing easily. What's more, Li Zicheng's Dashun has been going through years, with many soldiers and a huge territory. I think that although the Tang army is powerful, it is difficult to destroy for a while. We still have enough time to slowly restore the Qing Dynasty to its vitality. And how will the situation change at that time? It's not too late to see."
Speaking of this, he also sighed secretly and said, "If the Tang army is so shameless and forcibly tear down the agreement, then we still have a way to do it. That is, to break the whole into pieces and escape into the mountains and forests in the north, like the story of our ancestors, and fight against the Tang army for a long time. However, at this time, Shengjing and many prefectures and towns will be difficult to protect. However, such a thing is a long-term vision after all, and the Empress Dowager does not have to worry too much, so as not to be in vain and hurt himself."
Bumubutai smiled bitterly, and without saying anything, the two of them fell into silence together.
After the land of Liaodong returned to peace, the Central Plains was filled with wind and clouds.
After Li Xiao reached an agreement with the Qing court, he immediately transferred back to the second town from Liaodong. The troops of the 14th town, the troops of Shang Zhixin's troops totaled more than 130,000, as well as the 100,000 Qing troops of his servants, went to Jinzhou together, preparing to go straight to Shanhaiguan from Jinzhou, so as to give Li Zicheng a black tiger to attack the capital from the north.
In order to ensure that this battle was won with one blow, Li Xiao sent his subordinates to overseas orders to North Korea and Japan to send 50,000 elite troops to each, and must land in Shandong within half a month, and join the Tang army's first town and the sixth town here to attack the capital from the south.
In order to cooperate with the Tang army's plan to attack the capital, Li Xiao ordered the soldiers of the Tang army, the seventh, thirteenth, and thirteenth, which were fighting against the main force of the Dashun Army in the south, to take a more fierce attack posture and feint the Shun army on the opposite side, so that they could not withdraw from the southern battlefield to return.
As for the fourth and twelfth towns on Xuanfu North Road, the troops attacked Shanxi and prevented the Shun army from entering the capital. As a result, Li Zicheng's Beijing city was besieged by the Tang army with all their might, and it became a force to close the door and beat dogs.
An unprecedented great battle is finally about to begin.
The Tang army retreated from Liaodong and was rushing from all directions to the capital. The terrible news that it was about to launch a full-scale attack on Beijing was quickly transmitted to the Dashun Palace. Li Zicheng, who heard the news, was naturally frightened.
He could almost feel it from his intuition that the Tang army would probably have a final battle with himself, and he would definitely win the world with one battle.
Is the end of Dashun coming so soon?
Li Zixing called Niu Jinxing and Song Xiancai, two of his most trusted strategists, to discuss matters in the East Nuan Pavilion together.
At this time, the weather in the East Warehouse was already autumn, and the cool breeze was blowing, and there was a refreshing refreshing feeling that the heat had faded. However, the three kings and ministers in the East Warehouse were all full of sorrow and worried.
Li Zicheng frowned and angrily, and cursed first: "His grandma! I really didn't expect that Li Xiao was so capable that he could suppress the Qing court within a few months, make them pay tribute, and all changed the customs of the Han Dynasty. Such achievements were not accessible to the Ming Dynasty, even in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. Now, the Tang army withdrew troops from Liaodong and threatened 100,000 Qing troops as servants, and the troops from Korea and Japan also came to participate in the war. From south to north, about hundreds of thousands of troops, they rushed to our capital with all their might. The current situation is extremely dangerous, like a tired egg. Don't be foolish, you two, don't be foolish, have any opinions, say as soon as possible, only reasonable, I will try my best to adopt it."
Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance looked at each other, and they all looked embarrassed. However, Li Zicheng asked now, but he couldn't answer.
Niu Jinxing coughed lightly: "Your Majesty, from the perspective of the following, now our Dashun army, the main force in the middle of the country, is basically in the south to resist the attack of the Tang army. The capital is seriously insufficient, and it is difficult to dispatch and gather troops in a short period of time. It is absolutely impossible to defend for a long time. We need to make other plans quickly to make appropriate plans."
"What does it mean? Make another plan? Could it be that you, Niu Dayan, want to persuade me to abandon this Beijing city?" Li Zicheng frowned.
Niu Jinxing stumbled, but did not dare to speak. Song Xiance sighed slightly and interrupted from the side: "Your Majesty, I will say bluntly that there are only more than 30,000 temporary soldiers and horses in the capital. How can I resist the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Tang army and its servants? If I ignore the current situation and have to resist, I will be afraid that I will be destroyed in an instant. I will say bluntly that if the capital is broken, the king will be afraid that he will not escape the hand of the Tang army, but how can I save it from..."
Speaking of this, Song Xiance also looked melancholy, and he couldn't say anything about the following words.
Li Zicheng looked irritated and said angrily: "Is there no other way to think of except leaving the capital? Besides, if we leave the capital, where can we go?"
"Your Majesty, it is difficult for the capital to defend now, so we should not stick to it here. In the opinion of the mere minister, it is better for us to give up on the capital, retreat to Shaanxi and Gansu as soon as possible, and then rely on Tongguan to defend, so that we can have a glimmer of hope." Niu Jinxing replied hurriedly.
"Prime Minister Niu is right. In order to ensure that, in order to ensure that the troops in the capital are protected, not only the troops in the capital, but also the Dashun Army in the Qinling Mountains, it is best to withdraw all the troops from other places to Shaanxi so that they can have enough military advantages to defend Shaanxi and fight against the Tang army. The only way for the current plan is to protect our Dashun foundation by doing this." Song Xiance also quickly interjected.
Li Zicheng still frowned: "Oh, if we give up the capital so easily and give up all parts of the south, can our army really resist the attack of the Tang army by relying on the land of Shaanxi alone? Besides, this method is too much concerned about the present moment, but we have no thoughts about it later. If the Tang army takes over the capital and attacks Shaanxi again, and if Shaanxi cannot defend, where can we escape?"
"Your Majesty, the situation is so urgent, so I can only take care of the moment. How can I think about anything else? Now the Tang army is about to siege the capital with all its might, and I hope the emperor will make a decision quickly. If it is really besieged by the Tang army in the capital, it will be difficult to fly." Song Xiance looked bitter.
When Li Zicheng heard the words of the two strategists, his expression on his face was very complicated, and his flesh was shaking constantly.
His grandmother's! Tang Jun was so nervous that he could hardly breathe, but Dashun didn't even have the power to fight back, so he could only lose his city and lose his territory and flee westward. It was really shameful.
What’s even more hateful is that if you want to save your life, you can only give this beautiful capital that has not yet been completely hot and give it to Li Xiao. This is simply a shame to his face!
Moreover, there are even more things that scare you.
That is, even if you shrink your troops and retreat to Shaanxi with all your might, will the Tang army stop taking over the capital, Central Plains, and even Xuanfu in Shanxi?
They definitely won't.
They will definitely pursue the victory and beat the dogs in the water. They should chase the remaining brave men and women, and they will fight against themselves without hesitation and attack their last stronghold Shaanxi with all their might. So, at this moment, where should they escape?
However, no matter how hard you are to worry about such a problem, what is the use?
After all, it is imminent that the Tang army launched a large-scale attack, and no matter how much they think about it, it is useless.
Thinking of this, Li Zicheng couldn't help but sigh, then pounded his thighs and said with a whisper: "Hmph! Just do it like that, grandma, save Guan Shan first. If the Tang army really attacks again, it will not be too late for us to fight with this guy again. Even if his mother can't beat him, I will never let Li Xiao live a stable life!"
Soon, after the monarch and ministers agreed, Li Zicheng immediately arranged his troops and began to transport large quantities of property from the capital, transporting all the wealth accumulated in the capital to Xi'an as much as possible. Then, under the protection of three thousand elite troops, Li Zicheng secretly escaped from the capital in advance and headed straight for Xi'an.
Chapter completed!
