Volume 4 Empire Dongsheng Chapter 33 Shengjing
.The Ming Dynasty blockade was a complete blockade. On land, no one dared to act rashly. Even if someone wanted to take risks for money, he would probably be caught by the border army and beheaded directly, not to mention at sea. The Ming Dynasty's navy often swam in the sea, and even a small boat could not reach the land that was full of people.
Manchus could not grow crops. In the past, they mostly relied on fishing and hunting to make a living. After occupying Liaodong, they forced Han people to be slaves and farm for Manchus. They entered the pass. Manchus despised the hardship outside the pass and occupied a large amount of land near the capital. Most of the former coated slaves were transferred into the pass and continued to farm for them. Many of the cultivated land outside the pass gradually became deserted and have now been driven back. No Han people are slaves anymore. Faced with those barren land, many Manchus were stunned and didn't know how to farm. What's more, the hands that were used to holding swords and swords, and asked them to pick up farm tools, everyone was reluctant.
Originally, Manchus had another North Korea to squeeze. If North Korea was in his hands, Manchus might have a little more difficult life, but it would not be impossible to survive. However, the Ming army's attack was just right. When the summer grain was just collected, 20,000 Ming troops drove over, and Manchus's idea of getting food from North Korea suddenly became a terrible.
Without North Korea's food, the crops grown by Manren alone could not support everyone. In desperation, Manren regained his previous life of fishing and hunting. Fortunately, because Manren had few hunting in the past few years, there were many wild animals in the forest, so he would not be hungry.
But hunting can only deal with the temporary situation, and the prey cannot be preserved for a long time. As the war broke out, people's food immediately seemed to be short of money. Although Yin Hongsheng and Sun Kexian's previous attacks did not cause much damage, it further intensified the food shortage of Manchu people. In the south of the Yangtze River, a stone of rice that can be bought for seven cents of silver, some Manchu people's nobles still had a price but no market even if they paid more than ten taels of silver. Even if they were sorghum and black beans and other grains were more expensive than meat.
The weather in September is still bright and refreshing. The north is already cold and the wind is cold. The fields are withered and yellow. A decayed scene is that you can see some harvested crop fields in the middle. However, most of the crop poles are submerged by weeds, leaving only the top one of the lonely poles.
Several hares crawled out of the grass, and suddenly all of them erected their ears and whistled, and then crawled into the dead grass and disappeared.
A shark appeared in the distance, followed by the sound of various cattle, sheep, horses, and the sound of wheels of cars and wheels. The crying of children was mixed in the middle. The dark clouds were getting closer, but there was a huge team. There were mostly women in front of the team and children's clothes. On the head, some people were full of people.
In the middle of the team, a yellow carriage was particularly eye-catching. A large carriage showed the noble identity of the owner. The owner of the carriage was the little emperor Aisin Gioro Fulin, who was over thirteen years old, and the daughter of Wu Keshan, the twelve-year-old Prince Zhuoliketu, the little Borjijit.
Shunzhi had no joy in his wedding, and his face was full of depression. He had just gone through a lot of hardships to escape from the grassland, but before he could stay for several months, he had to embark on the road of escape again.
This time, the Ming army attacked Shenyang from two groups. One of them came out of customs and had already taken Jinzhou. The other group came out of Korea and captured Liaoyang. Facing the two groups of troops in the Ming Dynasty, the Manchus had no victorious determination to face either group. What's more, the Manchus lacked military rations and could not resist at all. After discussing with his ministers, Dorgon made a decision to give up Shengjing. Shunzhi and the Empress Dowager had to take women and children to retreat first. Dorgon led his army to seek opportunities in the rear and waited for an opportunity to fight the Ming army.
This is exactly what Shunzhi is most resentful. As he grows older, Shunzhi becomes more and more unwilling to be a puppet emperor. However, Dorgon firmly holds military power. No matter how angry Shunzhi is, he is helpless. He can only let Dorgon manipulate. Shunzhi hates the queen beside him. There is no other reason. This queen was Dorgon's connection.
After withdrawing from the capital, the relationship between Manchus and Mongolians declined greatly. Many Mongolian tribes were afraid of being attacked by the Ming Dynasty and migrated westward. The Korqin tribe had the closest relationship with Manchus. When Manchus were strong in the past, Korqin was the overlord of Mongolian grasslands. He wanted to get wind and rain. He got many benefits. Now, Manchus, the backer, was about to fall. He was undecided about whether to move westward.
Korqin did not want to move westward. It was mainly because he was concerned that the Mongolian tribes in the land they had bullied before would bully them in turn. As the saying goes, in thirty years, Hedong and in thirty years, Hexi. In the past, it was said that when Erqin had Manchus as a backer, he bullied the rest of the tribes too many times. Manchus sent troops to conquer the Mongolian grasslands several times. They were all Korqin cavalry to attack the vanguard and moved to the west farther west. Without Manchus as a backer, it is hard to say that the other tribes would not take the opportunity to attack and divide the cattle and sheep in the land of Korqin. The population was large;
I am reluctant to take over the grassland. In recent years, Korqin has occupied grasslands. Every year, cattle and sheep are growing in herds. The tribes are becoming more and more prosperous. If they move westward, everything will start over. Korqin will naturally hesitate.
Although Korqin was not a match for the Ming Dynasty, it was a good place for Manchus to help him more. Dorgon couldn't wait to choose the queen for Shunzhi. Although Shunzhi was reluctant, he had to accept Dorgon's mercy. Under this relationship, the relationship between husband and wife can be imagined.
Although the two of them were riding in the same car, they seemed to be strangers. Not only were they very open, but their lips were tightly closed and quiet. Fortunately, the carriage was wide enough and was separated by a good curtain outside. Outsiders could not see the scene inside, so there was no need to worry about someone seeing the disagreement between the emperor and the queen.
The entire queue was more than ten miles long, many of them, like Shunzhi, had just withdrawn from the Ming Dynasty for several months and moved again, but this time they lost their Shengjing. Except for the crying of children, everyone's face was gloomy.
"Stop!" Shunzhi's voice came out, and the groom in front of him who was responsible for driving "wave." Then the carriage walked forward for a short period and stopped slowly.
Seeing that the carriage stopped, Xiaodi lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. The queen opened her mouth and was about to ask the emperor why he wanted to stop. Thinking of Shunzhi's coldness towards him, Xiao Borjigit finally swallowed the words and got off the car.
Seeing the emperor's car stop, the whole army slowly stopped. Shunzhi stood on the ground and looked at Shengjing from afar. This place was dozens of miles away from Shengjing, and the shadow of Shengjing could be seen in a vague way.
Suddenly, he bent his legs and knelt on the ground. The guards on both sides were startled and shouted in panic: "Master..." He also knelt down quickly.
Although compared with the Ming Dynasty capital, Shengjing was far inferior to that of both high and wide, in Manren's heart, Shengjing was the place where the Qing Dynasty was lost. Although Manren was depressed, he had Shengjing to rely on. At worst, they could go back to their past days. It was this belief that many Manren walked thousands of miles while the snow was flying. Now even Shengjing was forced to give up, and the last belief in their hearts was broken. Even the most optimistic people were confused about the future. When Shunzhi knelt down, many people also knelt down.
A whimper came first, and then the whimper became louder and louder, and finally turned into a cry of horn Tao. Tens of thousands of people were crying together, and the sound was mixed in the autumn wind and sent to the distance.
At the top of Shengjing City, Dorgon and a group of Manchu ministers stood on the wall and looked into the distance. Suksaha suddenly raised his ears and said to Dorgon: "Prince, listen, there is a crying sound."
The other ministers also vaguely heard the sound. Looking from the north, they couldn't help but show a hint of sadness on their faces.
"Hmph, when will Manren only cry? Tianming Khan started his business with thirteen armors, expanding thousands of miles over decades and governing millions of people. Although Manren is weak, he is still far superior to Tianming Khan. Although the Ming people are strong, they cannot last long. It is only temporary to give up Shengjing. As long as they persist, the Qing Dynasty will always have a time to occupy Shengjing again. Why should they cry?" Dorgon said dissatisfied.
"What the prince said," Suksaha responded quickly, and the other ministers also put away the tragedy on their faces. In the past six months, in order to consolidate their power, Dorgon executed several Manchu ministers who opposed him in succession, which made Dorgon more powerful.
"I am passing on the order that all the people will withdraw from Shengjing tomorrow, destroy all the materials that cannot be taken away, and leave an empty city for the Ming army. So what if the Ming army gets Shengjing."
"As the commands of the emperor's father, the regent."
In the distance, Shunzhi bowed several times on the ground and boarded the carriage without saying a word. The whole team started to move forward again. The crying sounds gradually diminished and finally stopped. After this crying, the people recognized Shunzhi. Although the emperor was young, his feelings for Shengjing were revealed.
Three days later, a red army of thousands of people appeared under Shengjing City. It was the vanguard of the Ming army. When the Ming army came to Shengjing City this time, they thought that the Qing army would come to drive it away, but they knew that until they approached the city, the entire Shengjing was still in a quiet situation.
Seeing this situation, the Ming army generals were a little surprised and had to send a team of ten people to investigate under the city gate. When the ten people pushed open the gate of Shengjing, not only the ten people were shocked, but even the Ming army behind them were stunned.
