Chapter 273 Reactions

Zhu Youjian issued an edict to abdicate the destruction of the Ming Dynasty. Ying Yi pacified Hebei and defeated the Eastern Escapists and invaded the invaders. Duanju was appointed as the Forbidden City to advance to the King of Xia. This was like thunder, shaking the world.

However, no matter how shocked the shock, both the Man Tartars in Liaodong and the former ministers of Yingtian's previous dynasty were silent at this time.

He was not willing to speak out. The former ministers of the former dynasty in Jiangnan were unable to speak out at this time. Except for using the verbal verbal of scholars in public opinion, they criticized Ying Yi as a rioter in the rebellious country and were willing to speak out, nothing else was done.

It’s not that they don’t want to do anything, but that they have no ability. The Ming court of the previous dynasty had no military force in Jiangnan. Zhou Li besieged Fengyang, Fengyang Governor Ma Shiying, and the army supervisor Lu Jiude summoned troops from all directions to rescue him. For example, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing and other generals, and even Shi Kefa, the governor of the grain transport, came to rescue him, but they were all eaten by Zhou Li under Fengyang City.

Such shock made Yingtian’s former ministers frightened!

Zhou Li only had 12,000 troops in the lieutenant, but in less than a month, Li ate nearly 100,000 Ming court troops under Fengyang City. This kind of victory was more than less, and there was no conspiracy at all, and they were all real and head-on. How could such a strong army not be shocked?!

Originally, the Governor's Office of the Five Army in Nanjing planned to dispatch the remaining troops in Nanjing to attack Zhou Li, but after the generals of the troops were defeated, they never dared to mention it again.

The old soldiers in Nanjing were powerless, and Emperor Chongzhen abdicated and declared the destruction of the Ming Dynasty. Both in terms of law and in fact, the old ministers in Nanjing were powerless.

Not only did they not have the strength to attack Zhou Li, but they had to be tremblingly prepared for Zhou Li to move south.

Therefore, no matter how earth-shaking sounds came from the north, they did not move at all. It was like a turtle or an ostrich, and at most it would be done with a few cannons in their mouths.

Compared with the powerlessness of the old ministers in Nanjing, the Manchus and Eastern Tartars were heartbroken.

Abatai was killed in battle, and 20,000 elite soldiers were all beaten to the heads of Zhujingguan. Turge lost a lot. For the Donglu, this was not only a kind of contempt, but also stabbed the Donglu twice in the heart.

Huang Taiji, who was already in poor health, just started to get angry. He was not dead, but not far from death. A few mouthfuls of old blood were sprayed out, and he was in a coma for half a month before he could barely wake up.

Why did the Tartars desperately promote the so-called invincible? It is not because the Tartars are really that powerful, but because there are fewer people in the Tartars. The organization of a number of ten thousand people is as important as the two arms of a human being.

Originally, I rushed in excitedly and just waited to return with a full load, but forty or fifty thousand heads and two mountain-like Jingguans directly cut off the two arms of the Tartars, causing them to hurt.

He entered the pass four times and returned with a full load. The fifth time he was stunned. In Shengjing City, every family was crying and every household was wearing mourning.

Since the rise of the Eastern Barbarians, they have never suffered such a loss in so many years. In the years of war with the Ming court, the total number has not been killed.

What made the Tartars even more frightened was that they didn't even know what was going on inside the pass. They didn't know who the enemy was!

It was not until Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to abdicate, declared the destruction of the Ming Dynasty, and Ying Yi promoted the King of Xia, and became the Forbidden City, that the Donglu realized that their enemy was Ying Yi.

It's ridiculous to think about it. Huang Taiji sent someone to contact Ying Yi, intending to use it as a helping hand to overthrow the Ming court and thus get a bargain.

However, when he turned around, the "Southern Dynasty thief" who was not taken seriously by Huang Taiji, gave him a knife with his backhand, killing him to death.

Under such circumstances, neither Huang Taiji nor Dorgon dared to raise revenge rashly.

Because they didn't know what kind of person this King Xia was, how strong his army was, and how Abatai was wiped out.

The unknown is frightening.

Shengjing, the Qing Dynasty imperial palace.

Huang Taiji lying on the dragon chaise with a waxy face, wrapped tightly and airtightly. Under the hall, important figures of the Eight Banners were all listed.

The atmosphere is solid.

Dorgon, Haoge, Ajige, Daishan, Dodo, Jirgalang and others were all there.

After a long time, Huang Taiji said weakly: "What kind of person is this Ying Yi?"

Haoge said: "No matter what bullshit he is, Ama, I ask you to send troops. I am willing to lead the troops myself to chop off other people's heads!"

A trace of disdain flashed in Dorgon's eyes, and he said seriously: "No. Brother, Abatai has experienced a long battle formation. What has he experienced and was completely wiped out? No one knows now. We don't know what kind of person Ying Yi is, how strong his army is, and how many people are. If you attack rashly, you may..."

The Qing Dynasty did not know the truth, one was that Abatai was destroyed, and the other was that the escaped shaman had not returned, and he did not know where to hide or delayed it. If Huang Taiji and others were allowed to know the specific process of the war, they would probably be even more afraid.

Duoduo also said: "Yes, my brother. We only have 100,000 elite soldiers, but Abatai lost 20,000 in one battle. I have to be careful."

During this period, the Manchus themselves had only 311 Niulu. Huang Taiji and his eldest son Haoge had 117 Niulus, Dorgon, Dodo and Ajige had 98 Niulus, Daishan and Jirhalang had 96 Niulus.

There are 300 people in one Niulu, and the total number is still a little short of 100,000.

Of course, there were only 10,000 Manchu Tartar elite soldiers who lost in Abatai's battle, and the remaining 10,000 were from the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Banners. However, Turge was defeated outside Shanhaiguan, and his ten thousand elite soldiers were all Manchu Tartars. This ten thousand was reduced by nearly 8,000, and he fled back only 2,000.

In other words, the Eight Banners alone lost nearly 20,000 people in this battle, accounting for one-fifth of the entire Eight Banners' elite soldiers.

Such heavy losses are that such a reckless person like Haoge will only think about revenge, and the rest will not ignore it.

Huang Taiji looked at Haoge, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes, and when he looked at Dorgon, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Then he said lightly: "Prince Rui's words are reasonable." He waved his hand to stop Haoge, who was still trying to argue, and said: "The most urgent task is to find out the details of this person. The Shanxi merchants make more contact and let them explore the bottom line."

Dorgon and others all said that it was.

Huang Taiji said again: "In addition, Wu Sangui must be careful of repeated repetitions. Let Zu Dashou go to Ningyuan personally to persuade him to surrender. If Wu Sangui can be subdued, this time it will not be a complete defeat."

This is pretty good.

Although tens of thousands of elite soldiers were lost, if they could subdue Wu Sangui, it could be considered a supplement.

"Another."

Huang Taiji took a breath, coughed, and his face showed abnormal flushing. After a while, he said: "Horqin should be stable. They also lost a lot."

Dorgon and others heard the meaning of this.

Although the Eight Banners of Meng were subdued, they did not really follow their advice. People seek benefits and avoid harm. If the war shakes the sense of belonging of the Eight Banners of Meng, things will become serious.

Dorgon and others also realized this and hurriedly answered.
