No one can save Shengjing's fate!

Bahana is dead, and now Nushan and his troops are almost in charge. He faces a battle that is no different from Bahana.

Death, nothing but death or death!

The lives of those Qing soldiers were worthless here. Under the artillery fire from the Ming army on the opposite side, their lives would disappear without a trace every moment.

There is no hope, and all efforts will be in vain here.

Although Nushan is still fighting, he already knows clearly at this time that everything is over, and he will soon embark on the same path as Bahana...

Nushan's guess was not wrong. Not long after Bahana's death, a cannonball fell near him, and the exploding fragments took away the Qing general's life.

Thousands of lives! Thousands of lives were wiped out in the bombardment of artillery fire...

Hauge stared blankly at what was happening in front of him. At this moment, his heart was dead. He tried to use his life to carve out a bloody path, but now he knew that no matter how many people died, they would not be able to break out.

The fate of the Qing Dynasty should end here...

Haug launched the last charge, with four thousand soldiers beside him, including the most elite three thousand soldiers of the Imperial Guard.

In fact, Haug knew from the beginning of this charge that he would not succeed at all... The enemy's artillery and muskets were the most terrifying nightmare for his soldiers...

But he still has to charge, because this is a responsibility for him!

Just like any charge in the past. There is no change, except death or death. Whether it is Bahana, Nushan, or Haug, the results they face are no different...

Artillery fire ruthlessly took away lives one after another, and gunfire mechanically devoured all enemies... The number of four thousand Qing troops was decreasing horribly...

Hauge's voice became hoarse, and he even felt like blood was coming out of his throat.

The soldiers under his command were trying their best, but no matter how they charged, they would always be swallowed up by death.

The number of people is getting smaller and smaller, and Shengjing is drowned in the most terrible disaster. At this time, those in the palace of Shengjing are waiting for news of victory ahead...

But news came one after another, leaving them with no hope of victory.

Bahana is dead, Nushan is dead. Countless Qing troops are dead, and now even Su Prince Hauge personally directed the charge.

Can he succeed?

"It's hard to succeed..." Bumbutai sighed: "Although I don't know how to fight, I also know that we can no longer break through, right?"

Jilharang didn't know how to answer. After a moment of silence, he said: "Queen Mother, we will protect you and the emperor no matter what."

Bumbutai smiled bitterly. She knew that the other party was trying to comfort her... So many troops could not protect Shengjing, so why did he say that he could protect himself?

Zhezhe burst into tears, and his panicked look made Bumbutai frown. Suddenly he shouted: "Why are you crying?"

Zhezhe was so frightened that he held back his tears, and Bumu Butai raised his voice: "Even if the city is destroyed, we are still the descendants of the Aisin Gioro family. We will never let those Han people look down upon us!"

As she said that, she pointed her finger at Jilharang and Azig: "You, Prince Zheng, do what you should do! You, Prince Ying, organize the people in the palace who can be organized together! Leave us alone,

We will never embarrass the Aixinjueluo family!"

Jirharang and Azig knew that no matter what they said at this time, it was useless. The only thing they could do now was to hope that a miracle would happen.

But where is the miracle?

Bumbutai called Shunzhi to his side: "Your Majesty, our Shengjing is about to be destroyed. I hope you can face all this like the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Don't be afraid, don't be timid, and remember your identity.

!”

"Yes, I know." Shunzhi nodded vigorously...

...

The sound of guns and artillery on the battlefield became somewhat quiet. Haug looked around blankly, his soldiers? Where are his subordinates? Where are they? Where have they gone?

Defeated, they were all defeated by the Ming army!

Hauge has been fighting with the Ming army for so many years. He has never encountered anything like this. The Qing army, which once dominated the world, has no ability to resist at all in front of the Ming army!

There were less than a hundred cavalry left, guarding Hauge in panic. But around them, there were large numbers of Ming soldiers holding terrifying weapons!

"Come on, warriors of the Qing Dynasty!" Haug called again.

Those Qing soldiers used their last courage to rush forward, but what they responded to was gunshots that sounded like thunder...

Haug became a prisoner. Although he was never willing to be a shameful prisoner, he was hit hard by something and then passed out.

When he woke up, he had been tied up with five flowers and became a prisoner of the Ming army.

This was the first "big man" of the Manchu Qing Dynasty captured by the Huben Guards after they attacked Shengjing.

Aixinjueluo Hauge, the eldest son of Huang Taiji, whose mother is the step-concubine of Huang Taiji, Ulanala. Hauge has an extraordinary appearance, great strength, has been on the battlefield for many years, and has made many military exploits. According to the rules of "establishing a chief", he is

It is reasonable and logical for Hauge to inherit the throne.

However, the young Qing court did not have the tradition of "establishing a leader".

The powerful generals of the Two Yellow Banners, who were originally under the direct control of Huang Taiji, advocated supporting Hauge to inherit the throne. Turge, Sony, Tu Lai, Xihan, Gong Adai, Aobai, Tan Tai, Ta Zhan and other important officials of the imperial court successively

Visited King Su's residence to express his support for King Su as king.

The highly respected Prince Zheng Jierhalang, who controls the Bordered Blue Flag, is also inclined to support Hauge to ascend to the throne. In terms of strength, Hauge has the support of the three flags of Zhengyang, Bordered Yellow and Bordered Blue, plus the flags he leads.

The support of Zhenglan Banner generals gave them an absolute military advantage.

The most prestigious person at that time was Huang Taiji's second brother, Prince Li, Daishan. He believed that Hauge was "the eldest son of the emperor and should inherit the throne." It can be seen that the main reason for supporting Hauge may be due to the traditional concept of "establishing a leader" of the Han people.

It was caused by the influence. With the support of so many important ministers, Hauge felt that he had a chance to win, and he believed that the dragon chair in Chongzheng Palace belonged to him.

In the battle for the throne, Dorgon and Hauge were indistinguishable, and the ambition he had accumulated in his heart because he had missed the throne made him not want to let go of the second opportunity. He was overwhelmed by the momentum of competition.

Haug.

Dorgon and the officials of the Two White Banners had a cold eyebrow and firmly opposed the establishment of Hauge as king. There were also many important officials who advocated Dorgon ascending to the throne. The atmosphere in the East Veranda Hall suddenly became tense, and all the participants held their breath and pondered.

Find solutions.

Dorgon understood that forcing his way to the throne was definitely not the best choice, and Hauge was by no means an easy person. Hauge also knew that it was absolutely impossible to negotiate a settlement with the rebellious Dorgon, and there was no absolute certainty of a solution by force.

Since the battle for the throne began, the two sides have been unwilling to give in. The smell of gunpowder in the palace is very strong, and if you are not careful, you may accidentally misfire. All the princes and important ministers in the court, without exception, were involved in the conflict between Dorgon and Hauge.

In the vortex of the struggle to seize the throne.

The ministers are all struggling to find a way out, fearing that unrest will occur and harm the national destiny. In the stalemate between Hauge and Dorgon, the powerful group must come up with a third plan that is acceptable to everyone in the palace.

Especially a plan that both Hauge and Dorgon can accept.

After many days of repeated consultations, the ministers of the two yellow flags went to the palace with swords and said: "We eat the late emperor's clothes and wear the late emperor's clothes. The late emperor's kindness to us is huge. If the late emperor's son is not established, we would rather die and follow the late emperor underground."

!”

The ministers of the two yellow banners were both important ministers of the imperial court and representatives of the armed forces personally controlled by the late emperor. At the critical juncture when Dorgon and Hauge were fighting inextricably and refusing to give in to each other, they proposed a new plan for the prince to inherit the throne.

plan.

After more than ten days of competition, the Supreme Council made the final decision: six-year-old Fulin succeeded to the throne, and Prince Zheng Jierhalang and Prince Rui Dorgon were regents. Jierhalang was a supporter of Hauge and served as the second emperor.

First regent. Most senior officials in the palace had no objections. Dorgon's appointment as second regent stabilized the Dorgon brothers' group and their supporters.

Hauge was not convinced. He originally wanted to make a difference and regain the throne that should have belonged to him, but before he could realize his "ambition", the Ming army had already defeated Shengjing, and he,

He also became a prisoner.

Now, the emperor's position and rights have become nothing to him.

The capture of the so-called "Prince Su" of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is certainly something to be happy about, but generals like Cai Jiuzhou were not too excited because they knew that as the war progressed, these senior Manchu and Qing officials captured would become more and more

many.

Now, the Manchu and Qing Dynasty's hope of breaking through has been completely shattered!

When it got daylight, the Tiger Guards had already appeared outside the inner city of Shengjing.

After Nurhaci entered Shenyang, he did not immediately start construction. Instead, he attacked westward and built a simple "living palace" in the city according to the Jurchen architectural model near the town gate. The later Jin Dynasty rebuilt the Shenyang city wall in

After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, from the first year of Tiancong to the fifth year of Tiancong, a new city was built on the basis of the original city wall. The city wall was thickened, heightened and reinforced; the four gates of the Ming Dynasty were changed to eight gates, and the Eight Banners Army each guarded the city.

One gate, the city thoroughfare changed from a cross street in the Ming Dynasty to a tic-tac-toe street. The North Gate, which was originally the strongest in the Ming Dynasty, was least damaged in the war, and because it was close to Nurhaci’s residence, it was fortunate to be preserved in the Qing Dynasty and became the first "North Gate" in the Qing Dynasty.

"Nine Gates". At this time, in addition to the Forbidden City, there were also the Khan's Palace, eleven royal palaces, six government offices, temples, etc. in the old Shenyang City.

Now, this place that the Manchus thought was impossible to attack was forced to face the most direct attack from the Ming army!

Standing on the tower of the inner city, you can see the soldiers of the Ming army busy preparing to attack the city.

More than ten cannons have been set up, and the Manchus know that more cannons will arrive soon. At that time, the real destruction of Shengjing will begin!

With the defense of the inner city, it is absolutely impossible to withstand the Ming army's artillery attack.

In the Chongzheng Hall, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties held perhaps their last court meeting.

The situation is already very critical. Maybe in the afternoon or maybe in the morning, the Ming army may launch the final attack on the inner city. Where will these Manchus go now?

"The Emperor, the Queen Mother, and Prince Su Hauge were captured by the Ming army."

When this news reached the ears of the Manchu ministers, it rarely caused any commotion. Such a thing might happen anytime, anywhere.

Bumbutai said calmly: "My dear friends, do you have anything else to say now?"

"Resist to the end!" Turge said loudly: "We in the Qing Dynasty have nothing but heroes who are willing to fight to the death for the emperor. When the emperor gives an order, I am willing to be the first to die!"
To be continued...
