Chapter 316: The haggard Dorgon, the fierce Zheng Zhilong
"Blow me hard!"
Zheng Sen was standing in an artillery position at this time and heard the high shouts of artillery commanders in his ears.
The two armies fought against each other, but this was the last time for their artillery to make achievements.
The shells were sent over the front line to the back of the Qing army, not to mention completely blocking the Tartars' aid route, but at least it also added some trouble to the Tartars. This was the last action of their artillery under Kaifeng City in this battle.
All the artillery fires at full speed. The continuous sound of cannons is accompanied by gunfire, and I wish I could destroy the entire Kaifeng East City.
The Qing army's resistance was either not trying their best, but it was not enough to stop it.
Zu Gui dared to fight, Xu Yong dared to fight, both of them were very good at fighting and killing, and were willing to serve Zu Zerun for the Qing Dynasty. And the team led by them were all reliable.
But Kaifeng City is now garrisoned with tens of thousands of people, but there may be only two reliable teams in the entire city!
When the Iron Man Army, wearing iron armor and holding a big sword in his hand, entered the battlefield, the winning scale quickly tilted towards the Zheng army.
The entire breakthrough was also covered with dead bodies. The bodies of both sides were stacked layer by layer.
Zheng Zhilong looked at the soldiers in front of him with a trace of nostalgia. Perhaps the number of the Iron Man Army was still retained in the Zheng Empire a hundred years later, but the Iron Man Army at that time must be no longer the Iron Man Army today. Like the heavy infantry wearing iron armor in front of him, not to mention a hundred years of time, even now it seems to be behind the times.
They were the first batch of heavy infantry in the Zheng army, but they must be the last batch of heavy infantry.
The glory of cold weapons has declined, and the glory of heavy infantry naturally dissipated.
But he himself will never forget this army, because it was the first army in the true sense of "him".
Zheng Feng and Zheng Qun, who were in charge, were both Zheng Zhilong's confidant guards. The latter was wearing heavy armor in the Battle of Yanzhou, led the Iron Man Army and followed Zheng Sen to charge into the battle. He was not seriously injured, and his troops suffered a considerable loss.
Zheng Zhilong is now sending Zheng Feng camp. These Iron Army soldiers are generally over 1.8 meters tall, and in this era, China can be called a giant camp!
"Run..."
Under the cover of artillery fire, Zheng Feng waved the big knife in his hand and roared.
Thousands of Iron Man soldiers behind him shouted loudly, took big steps, and rushed towards Kaifeng City.
If there were a large number of Eight Banners and Real Tartars in the Qing army in the city, it would be fine. But the problem is that the main force of the Qing army in the city is the green flag, and these green skins are equipped with leather armor, and not even one-third of the cotton armor. Therefore, when Zu Zerun saw the Iron Man Army for the first time, he couldn't help swallowing and spitting, and he knew that the city really couldn't defend.
The gunshots rang out, and Iron Man soldiers rushed into the gap. Once they fought with the Qing soldiers, they were as powerful as they were. Zu Gui and Xu Yong shouted out their throats, but they didn't have any use for birds!
"Be careful, Major General." Xu Ding's mouth torn apart, his thick back slashed his sabre fell to the ground, and the next moment he was knocked down by his personal soldiers. Then he was quickly carried by his personal soldiers and retreated.
But his eyes were staring ahead, watching the man in iron armor, wielding a big sword to kill all the personal soldiers who were protecting him.
As Xu Yong's eldest son, he grew up in the military camp, and his strength was not for nothing. Today he was defeated and had nothing to say.
After the big man waved his sword and killed two Qing troops, several gunshots rang out not far away, and the projectiles ejected from the fire hit the iron armor on the man's chest. With a "bang", the big man looked like he was punched heavily, and his body retreated three or four steps backwards and fell on a pile of ruins.
No matter how brave a person is, he can't stand the fire of guns and bullets. This man is proficient in martial arts and wears thick armor. He is a brave general in the era of cold weapons, but now, killing him only requires a few cheap bullets.
However, Xu Ding's face did not show any smile, because there were many iron-armored soldiers like this big man on the entire battlefield.
The marbles can penetrate thick armor, but there are very few Qing soldiers who have the opportunity to shoot guns. Most Qing soldiers have no choice but to do anything to the thick armor on the Iron Man Army.
To deal with such heavy infantry, blunt armor-breaking weapons must be used, such as axes, hammers, big sticks and iron whips. However, where did the Qing army in Kaifeng have them?
The cruel hand-to-hand combat quickly decided the outcome!
The elite forces under Zu Gui and Xu Yong quickly decreased, and the Qing soldiers who held their breath to resist the first two attacks of Zheng's army were crushed by the Iron Man Army with absolute combat power.
Helplessly, Zu Zerun gathered his team and turned around and fled to the west of the city. He asked him to lead people up to block the hole? That was really not a member of the Zu family.
Zu Zerun fled, Luo Jinxiu fled, and Zu Gui and Xu Yong naturally fled. Kaifeng City, which was defended by the Qing army on the surface, was taken down, and Zheng Zhi Longguang captured more than 10,000 people. Unfortunately, there were not many of them among them.
Duoduo led the Eight Banners Tatars to squat tightly in Heluo. Even when Kaifeng was in a hurry, he didn't see him take a step away from Heluo. Instead, he kept putting pressure on Li Shunjun in Tongguan.
Obviously, the Qing Dynasty was not ready to give Li Zicheng the possibility of entering the Central Plains east.
The Qing tyrants in Yanjing City were also dissatisfied with Kaifeng's fall. They were all focused on the outside of the pass. Zheng Hongkui had already led his troops to Liaoyang. The previous Yaozhou, Haizhou, Niuzhuang, Anshan and other places could not stop him at all.
The two red flags left behind outside the pass were all present. Daishan had sent some troops into the pass, leaving only tens of thousands of main forces to guard the huge pass. Logically speaking, this was a very powerful military force, cooperating with the Han soldiers and Baoyi Aha, and even the young people conquered by the Qing Dynasty, which was enough to maintain the order they established outside the pass.
Just like the Qing Dynasty in history, all the main forces of the Eight Banners entered the pass, and there was not even half of the current people left in the old nest. The vanguard troops who wanted to deal with the Russians had to dispatch troops to Korea, but even so, they safely suppressed the vast land outside the pass.
But now it’s different. Zheng Hongkui has 30,000 troops under his command, which is a force that the Tartars can’t resist at all.
Not to mention that the two red flags were scattered outside the entire pass, even if thousands of people were concentrated in Liaoyang by Daishan, it would be useless.
After Zheng Hongkui led the army to capture Shanhaiguan, he then beat Wu Sangui's troops in the western Liaoning Corridor, shocking the entire pass. After the news reached Shengjing, Dai Shan sent a letter of help to Yanjing without thinking.
Zheng Zhilong's army entered the pass without thinking, and he could know that they would definitely enter Liaodong. He could not resist the troops in Dai Shan's hands.
At this time, don’t you ask for help quickly, and after the Zheng army soldiers arrived in Shengjing and destroyed the imperial tomb that Huangtaijina was still under construction, will you go to ask for help?
But no one expected that Guanning Army would not fight.
Mandahai only lasted for one day at Shanhaiguan, and Wu Sanfu only lasted for one day in Ningyuan City.
The Zheng army, who had no scruples, only raised the Wu army, who was bombarded with artillery, and then the catapults were sent off from the ship, with flowering bullets one by one, and the incendiary bombs were told that Wu Sanfu could only escape in panic.
As a result, Wu Sanfu escaped, but the family members of Guanning Army in Ningyuan City failed to escape. At least 30,000 young and old were arrested on Juehua Island and imprisoned into labor camps. It is said that Wu Sanfu returned to the empty Ningyuan City and cried in public at the ruins of a city with no figure.
Then just as Ajige led his troops north, Zheng Hongkui had already led his troops into the Liaohe River.
In Prince Rui's mansion, Dorgon couldn't sleep all night these days, with dark circles and white skin, and he was so haggard that he didn't look like the Regent.
He is so uncomfortable now.
Because he could not think of a way to solve the current dilemma, all the big and small figures in the Qing Dynasty were at a loss.
Zheng Zhilong is a very strong man. He now waved two powerful fists to attack the Qing Dynasty. However, the same strong Qing Dynasty, even the Manchus, which was even stronger than the Zheng army, was pressing Li Zicheng with one hand. Dorgon could only use one hand to resist the Zheng army's offensive. How could he resist it?
Although he easily beat Zhu Ming's 200,000 to 300,000 troops with only two fingers, Zheng Zhilong was not Zhu Youjian, and Zheng's army was not Ming's army.
Now the Qing Dynasty is in a state of trouble and has been beaten to a bruised face.
And if it's just like this, that's fine. The problem is that Zheng Zhilong is still unwilling to give in and looks like he wants to kill the Qing Dynasty.
They hit the head of Man Qing and the little brother of Man Qing. This is really deadly.
If the punch on the head is not resisted, Zheng Zhilong will be beaten with blood. It will be dizzy and they will probably have to recover after a while.
If the little brother does not resist this punch, it will not be able to kill Man Qing, but it will definitely cause Man Qing to suffer from pain, so that he will suffer from paralysis within a few years.
It should be clear that outside the pass is the real old nest of the Tartars and the buried place for their two generations of first lords. How could they really let the Zheng army rage and sit idly by?
Not to mention how serious this would hurt the majesty of the Qing Dynasty, even in terms of etiquette and law, it is possible that the foundation of the Qing Dynasty would shake.
The Qing Dynasty inherited the Ming system, and after entering the pass, the Tatars after entering the pass better win over the gentry class in the north and share their interests with them, and then formed a broad community of interests.
Therefore, Dorgon slapped his hand and the Tartars began to speak loudly on "Govern the world with filial piety."
This slogan is not rare, and filial piety has been praised throughout China. This is because such slogans are very confusing, and filial piety is the first priority for all virtues. Second, such slogans can make the court better win over local gentry and tribes.
Because as long as you implement filial piety, you cannot do without the clan and family system, and there is a close and inseparable relationship between clan and gentry.
The development of family law in this clan power is an inevitable product of filial piety.
However, the Qing Dynasty linked filial piety with clan power and shouted loudly: The clan was harmonious with the clan. For the first time, it was publicly supported by the clan power and family law in the form of national laws.
The clan’s moral integrity means that the clan is based on human ethics. Before the moral integrity is clear, there is still something filial and brotherly inseparable.
In other words, it is said that "only everyone is filial and brotherly, so that the clan can be harmonious." If the family is harmonious, everything will be prosperous, then the clan members must respect filial piety and brotherly elders.
The clan leader and clan elders of the clan are all elders.
On the surface, this is an attempt to reconcile class and social contradictions with blood ties. In fact, it is even giving power to local gentry clans, calling the "class power and family law" a "ethical principle" used by clan elders to restrain, manage, and even rule the clans.
The Qing court’s open legal support would have greatly increased the power of the clan leader and clan elders in local clans?
In this way, how could the local gentry clans oppose the Qing Dynasty's rule?
Now that the Tatar flags have been set up, they themselves have to sit down and watch the Zheng army rush around outside the pass, colliding with Huang Taiji's imperial tomb, and even the old slave's imperial tomb in Alahtu. That is a slap in the face.
Whether from the rituals or the dignity and majesty of the Tartars - they have only been in the pass for two years, or from the personal authority of Dorgon, they are absolutely not allowed.
Therefore, Dorgon must block the punch Zheng Zhilong hit the little brother of the Tartars.
This involves another serious problem. If you want to block the Zheng army outside the pass, can you achieve it with only the 20,000 Eight Banners of Ajige?
Whether to continue to mobilize troops from Guanzhong is an imminent choice. Besides, what will happen if Ajige leaves and has already taken down Zheng Zhilong, who has already taken down Kaifeng?
Now it seems that the Qing Dynasty has the only way to withdraw troops from Guanzhong.
However, the Qing Dynasty was about to withdraw its troops from Guanzhong, and the good situation of the front line was about to burn to Chang'an City, but it was gone and never returned. Li Zicheng lived?
