Chapter 945 Split the Manchus
After the Gan army occupied Lushun, the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty was threatened, which would inevitably shake the hearts of the Qing court.
This bandit group with multiple forces combined can closely unite when they have interests, but once they cannot gain benefits and even face a crisis of destruction, there will definitely be internal differences.
Among the Eight Banners that maintained the Qing Dynasty's rule, the vast majority of Han and Mongols would not die for the Qing Dynasty. Even the true ruler of the Qing court, Manchus, would have different voices in order to continue the ethnic group.
This gave Gao Huan the opportunity to weaken them from the inside and create chaotic thoughts.
Maybe, in the face of the huge pressure on Ganchao and the economic, military and cultural advantages, a Su Shunzong of the Qing Dynasty would appear, dismantle himself and destroy the Qing Dynasty.
Now Gao Huan's first goal is to take advantage of Zhang Xianzhong's great energy and complete the ambition of the five-year unification pass. In the case of the Qing Dynasty, Gao Huan, in addition to sending troops to harass him, he tried to create different sounds within the Qing Dynasty and cause chaos within the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, Hou Zongze persuaded Mandahai to surrender, and Gao Huan happened to use them to split the Qing Dynasty, and even began to form a military army to fight with the Qing Dynasty.
Gao Huan discussed with Hou Zongze for a while and agreed to ensure the safety of Mandahai and the surrendered Qing army and ensure that the prisoners were not killed. Hou Zongze hurried back to the Great Wilderness Mountain.
At this time, Mandahai sat on the rocks on the top of the mountain with a miserable expression, and buried gunpowder around him. If Gao Huan did not agree to surrender or was unwilling to let him go, he would have to be forced to be heroic.
"Prince, Hou Zongze is back!" Suddenly someone on the mountain exclaimed.
When Mandahai heard the words, he quickly stood up, "Where is the person?"
At this time, the soldiers split a road. When Mandahai saw Hou Zongze coming back, he hurried forward, grabbed his hand and asked, "What's the situation? What's going on?"
Hou Zongze gasped for a while and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Mandahai quickly waved his hand, "Get the water!"
At this time, Hou Zongze took the kettle and took a sip of water before wiping his mouth. His eyes swept across his faces with expectations and said loudly: "Prince, my colleagues, after I went down the mountain, I saw Emperor Ganchao, and my mouth was worn out. Finally, I persuaded Ganchao to allow us to surrender and promise not to kill prisoners or abuse us."
When Mandahai and many Qing soldiers heard the words, they immediately became happy, but they were a little disbelief, "Really? Gao Huan promised not to kill prisoners or abuse prisoners?"
Hou Zongze took out a letter from his chest, "Prince, this is a letter from the Emperor Ganchao!"
"There are actually letters!" Man Dahai was shocked and hurriedly took them to watch. A group of Qing generals surrounded him.
In the letter, Gao Huan first praised Mandahai for being a famous general in the Qing Dynasty, and at the same time praised him for his good construction of Lushun. Then he said that the failure of the Qing Dynasty was inevitable, and he talked about the civilization and advanced nature of the Gan Dynasty, pointing out that the establishment of the Qing Dynasty was a regression of history and civilization. Finally, Gao Huan said that he would ensure his life safety and was very pleased that Mandahai could abandon the darkness and turn to the light and do something meaningful for the world.
When Mandahai received Gao Huan's handwritten letter, he was extremely surprised. At the same time, he was very moved that Gao Huan would give him a chance.
"Repaying grievances with kindness, the Heavenly Kingdom is benevolence and righteousness!" Mandahai shed tears of shame and was impressed by Gao Huan's mind.
At this time, he finished reading the letter and handed it to his guards beside him, "Please hold the letter, I will frame it in the future and pass it on to my descendants."
When his subordinates put away the letter, Mandahai looked around the generals and immediately said, "The soldiers' hearts have dispersed and they are powerless to turn the world back. We were originally only dead, but fortunately, the Emperor Ganchao was kind and gave us a way of life. Now that things have come to this point, I decided to surrender Ganchao, serve Dakan, and fight for a way of life for me Manchu. Do you have any objections?"
"The prince is wise! Now that things have come to this, I can only surrender!"
"Yes, surrendering now is better than being exterminated in the future!"
The Qing army generals expressed their support for surrender.
Now it seems that the Qing Dynasty was no match for the Cong Dynasty at all. If the confrontation continues, the Cong Dynasty will sooner or later be destroyed.
At that time, what should the Manchus do? Will they be killed and exterminated?
This is a matter that must be considered for Manchus today.
Seeing that no one objected, Mandahai immediately sorted out his clothes and led the Qing army down the mountain to surrender.
With the strength of the Gan Army, it is easy to defeat them, so Mandahai and others were not worried about fraud. After getting off the mountain, they abandoned their weapons and surrendered to the Gan Army at the foot of the mountain.
The Qing Dynasty fought for so long, and the Ming Dynasty fought for almost half a century.
For such a long time, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou and other Han people surrendered to the Qing court one after another, but few Manchus surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and Gan Dynasty.
As the first Qing Dynasty prince to voluntarily surrender to Ganchao, Mandahai can be said to have a huge impact and represents a complete reversal of the situation, which is of great significance.
After Gao Huan learned that Mandahai was going down the mountain to surrender, he immediately came forward to accept the surrender. In front of Mandahai and the surrendered troops of the Qing army, he promised to treat him well and never kill him.
"Your Majesty is kind! I am grateful to Your Majesty for not killing you!" Mandahai led thousands of disarmed Qing troops to kneel down and kowtow.
Gao Huan laughed, helped him up, and asked about the truth of the Qing court. Mandahai reported it to the truth.
At that moment, Gao Huan ordered Gao Jie to place surrendered troops, and then led Mandahai into the tent to have a conversation with him.
"Sit down!" Gao Huan sat down in the tent and asked someone to bring a horse stool to Mandahai.
When Gao Huan saw Mandahai and several surrendered generals, he was a little nervous and very restrained. He sat in a twist and smiled slightly, "Do you know why I accept your surrender?"
Mandahai hurriedly said, "It's because of your mercy!"
The surrendered generals agreed, "Yes, your Majesty is kind!"
Gao Huan smiled slightly, "I probably have made you realize the battle of Lushun. The Qing Dynasty is definitely not a big opponent, but stubborn enemies such as Haoge and Hong Chengchou are still unwilling to accept the facts and have to resist stubbornly. What consequences will this lead to?"
Gao Huan glanced at everyone, and without waiting for their answer, he continued: "This will lead to the destruction of the Qing Dynasty and the entire Manchus. God has the virtue of being alive, and I don't want to kill them all, but Haoge and Hong Chengchou want to lead Manchus to continue on the wrong path, so the final result will be that Manchus will disappear completely!"
When Mandahai and others heard the words, they were shocked and sweaty on their foreheads.
Gao Huan looked at Mandahai and said in a deep voice: "I believe that you don't want to see it. The whole clan is destroyed!"
Mandahai didn't know how to answer for a while, and he didn't understand what Gao Huan meant yet.
"You can tell me the true thoughts in your heart. I forgive you for not guilty!" Gao Huan waved his hand domineeringly.
Mandahai hurriedly stood up and kowtowed, "Report to Your Majesty, the criminals really don't want to see the destruction of the Manchus, and don't want the destruction of the tribes!"
Gao Huan nodded and raised his voice and said, "I allow you to surrender, which is to give you a chance to save your tribe! Haoge and others are going to lead the Manchus to the road to destruction. What should you do if you want to save your tribe?"
Mandahai was slightly stunned, then reacted and kowtowed to Gao Huan, "Your Majesty is a kind sage master. The criminals understand that we must help the big fight, defeat Haoge, and eliminate those who attempt to resist the big fight and bring their tribe into a dead end!"
Gao Huan nodded with satisfaction when he heard the words, "Very good. It seems that I did not misunderstand you, and you did not waste this opportunity!"
