On the second day of May, the Qing army entered the capital under the banner of revenge for Emperor Chongzhen.
Prior to this, Wu Sangui's tribe, as a vanguard, had released news during the march, saying that they had discovered the former Ming Prince Zhu Cixiang, but later disappeared.
Rumors about Zhu Cixiang were flying all over the capital. Some former Ming surrender ministers who stayed in the capital thought it was Wu Sangui who led the bandits to drive away Li Zicheng and escorted the Ming prince back to the capital.
As a result, some people specially set up the memorial tablet of Emperor Chongzhen at the Meridian Gate, wore sackcloth and mourning and cried loudly. Some people arranged the prince's car and knelt at Chaoyang Gate to wait for the prince to return to court.
A middle-aged man in a yellow robe, surrounded by Qing troops, sat on the luan chariot placed at the door. The ministers who were kneeling on the ground with their heads lowered were in tears, saying in their hearts that the Ming Dynasty would be saved, and they would wait to raise their heads.
At first glance, it was not Zhu Cihong who got on board, but a Manchu with a money rattail hanging on the back of his head.
It was such a big mistake that the whole world would laugh at him if word spread about it. Everyone just ignored the mistake and it didn't matter who was in charge. There was no problem in claiming support. The world changed hands again and again, and everyone was used to it.
Dorgon, who sat on the imperial carriage, was in the limelight for a moment. He was not the emperor, but the emperor, with power in both the government and the public.
If Aisin Gioro Fulin, who is now the Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, is more powerful than ten thousand people, then it is enough for me, Dorgon, to be more powerful than Fulin.
The troops were divided into two groups to pursue Li Zicheng's Duduo, Azige and Wu Sangui tribes, running thousands of miles until Dashun's army retreated into Guguan before returning to the capital.
At this point, the Shanhaiguan War officially came to an end. The Qing army originally expected to win the pass with all their strength, so they tried to recruit all the men in the clan, but in the end, they easily captured the capital.
At the same time, news of the defeat of the Shun army gradually spread to various places. The forces of the former Ming Dynasty took the opportunity to launch a counterattack. For example, Xie Bi, a student leader, led an army in Dezhou, Shandong, to hunt down officials of the Shun Dynasty. The former Ming guerrilla general Gao Gui et al.
Ling Ma, the head of the Fang Division, raised troops and went directly to Linqing.
Suddenly, rebellions broke out all over Hebei and Shandong.
To the south, Fengyang Governor Ma Shiying, who held military power, joined forces with the generals of the three towns, namely Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Huang Degong and the eunuch Lu Jiude to decide to support Zhu Yousong of the Fu clan, and led troops to escort Zhu Yousong to Pukou to force Shi Kefa to compromise.
.
Finally, after a series of party strife and internal strife, Fu Fan, backed by military generals, ascended the throne in Yingtian Mansion and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Hongguang, which was later called Nanming. The military generals headed by Ma Shiying achieved "the merit of deciding the policy", and the civil and military status of Hongguang Dynasty was reversed.
, offense and defense change shape.
If we include Zhang Xianzhong who will establish the Western Dynasty in Shu in the near future, and Zhu Youjian, the Chongzhen Emperor in Datong, the Qing Dynasty in the capital, the Nanming across the river, and Dashun in Shaanxi, look at the state
There are actually five political powers on the earth at the same time, as if history has gone backwards.
However, military advisor Song Xiance, seeing Li Zicheng's defeat, was worried that he would be implicated in what he said earlier, so he stole a horse and fled alone to save his life.
He expected that Li Zicheng would definitely return to the capital first, so he chose the old path taken by Chongzhen and fled to Datong. The reason why he kept "Gu Ying" as a back-up in Datong was because of his current situation.
Once you have taken the money, and there are military commanders accompanying you, where in the world can you go?
Song Xiance, who was complacent about his foresight, rushed all the way to the gate of Datong Mansion. When he saw that the city gate was closed, he couldn't help but became furious and shouted at the defenders on the city to let him in.
Wang Jinchao looked at the beggar with disheveled hair riding a skinny horse under the city in amusement.
"I am Song Xiance, the founding military advisor of the People's Republic of China. Please open the door quickly!"
After hearing this, the guards on the city asked Wang Jinchao curiously: "The founding military advisor? General, have you ever heard of him?"
Wang Jinchao did not answer him, but said with a smile: "Ha, I didn't expect that my blind cat met a dead mouse today, Wang Jinchao. Let him in, tie him up and send him to your majesty."
After Song Xiance reported his name, he saw the suspension bridge slowly lowered, the door gently opened, and he pinched his beard proudly.
He was so embarrassed when he escaped that he didn't even bother to take his favorite feather fan. If he could get such a fan in this situation, wouldn't it be like Zhuge Wolong in the Empty City Plan?
Seeing several guards walking toward him from the city gate, Song Xiance straightened his messy hair, put on an official look, and said, "Why don't you come over quickly and lead the horse for me?"
"Hold your mother!"
How could a few soldiers bear to be tied up again after entering the city? They immediately jumped forward, pulled Song Xiance to the ground, tied him up, and kicked Song Xiance several times.
"Ah, what are you going to do? How dare you kick me? You... don't want your life?"
"Give him a pair of kicks. I've never seen anyone so in need."
Several soldiers punched and kicked Song Xiance, causing dust to fly.
"Ouch, stop fighting. Ouch, I want to see Tianxing! I want to see Zhang Tianlin!"
In Datong Prefecture, on the road along the city wall, soldiers were running panting, holding stones or carrying logs.
After several days of intensive physical training, 70 people gave up and quit midway. Chongzhen eliminated some of the sneaky people, and to this day only 2,000 people are still training, including Yang Boxian's group training camp.
"One, one, one two one."
"one two three four!"
"Why should a soldier be ashamed of being a general?
June is full of green and covered with leopard fur,
If you don't know the cold and heat, your head will be cut off.
Xionger Lantian seeks revenge,
Behead Xie Bingzhou in the middle of the night."
Yang Boxian and Jiang Xuan took the lead. One shouted slogans, and the other sang Jin Dynasty folk songs and state songs. Behind them, a long line of soldiers lined up in rows of five followed the chants and sang in response. Their morale was high.
These were obviously written by Chongzhen. Although he had little knowledge of military training, he was confident that he could summarize the military training minutes suitable for the current situation by slowly deducing them based on his later experience and the military books in his hands.
Chongzhen had his own understanding of why he didn't practice battle formations and practiced physical fitness alone.
A battle of ten thousand people requires a soldier to train hard for several years. There is not enough time left for him at the moment. So if he wants to improve his combat power in a short time, he must train the soldier's physical fitness and will.
In order to defeat the strong with the weak, one must be surprised, and for this surprise, Chongzhen planned to rely on the marching speed of the soldiers.
Jiang Xiang was not very interested in this matter. He came to watch it on the first day and never came again. Long Live Lord was willing to spend his own money to make trouble. He had nothing to say, but he was busy with military affairs and would not accompany him. In his heart, Chongzhen was not
Maybe he's someone who knows how to fight.
Jiang Xuan was the first to arrive every day and watched with great interest.
Especially after His Majesty’s ingenious arrangements, everyone gradually got used to shouting slogans and singing folk songs and running circles side by side. The momentum exuded by the concerted efforts made him eager to try out since he was a child. Today, he specially changed his bunt and joined in.
.
Yang Boxian has been hunting in the mountains since he was a child. Running in the mountains is a common thing. Needless to say, he has physical strength. He ran continuously for half an hour and still showed no signs of fatigue.
Chongzhen stood aside and watched. When he saw someone behind him gradually falling behind, he ordered his soldiers to ride to the front to notify Yang Boxian.
Uncle Yang received the notice first, nodded, and stopped. The soldiers behind him also stopped. Some people's legs became weak from exhaustion and they sat down on the ground.
"Mother, Your Majesty said no one is allowed to sit down, everyone should get up!"
Yang Boxian and Jiang Xuan each took the whittled wooden sticks and walked back along the queue. If they found any soldiers sitting down to rest, they would be whipped.
There were residents nearby who were watching the fun. They watched it for several days. They felt that it was hard to be a soldier, so I wanted to give them some water to drink.
However, no one dared to accept it. They were all like hiding from the plague, waving their hands and saying no.
Someone took it two days ago, and his butt was beaten to pieces. Now he is still lying in the camp unable to get out of bed. Long live the Lord said that soldiers are not allowed to take anything from the common people, including water.
After almost a quarter of an hour, Yang Boxian signaled everyone to sit down and rest, but they were not allowed to lie down.
It took Chongzhen a lot of effort to make these soldiers so obedient. As the number of additional training personnel decreased, Chongzhen's budget for raising soldiers increased accordingly.
Soldiers who go through extra training every day are given enough food, and the extra meal must include meat. They don't usually get such treatment. It's worth the sweat for the soldiers.
Furthermore, Chongzhen personally supervises the payment of pay in the army. Regardless of whether the military households in the guardhouse or the soldiers are in the camp, they will be paid at the standard of one to two and five cents per month, and all the money will be paid to the soldiers. Those who train more every day will receive an additional five points.
The reward of silver is twenty taels in total.
Moreover, Chongzhen would visit the army every day, and would even sacrifice himself to greet the soldiers.
As soon as these actions came out, Chongzhen's reputation in the hearts of the soldiers greatly increased. Jiang Xiang was unhappy about this. He gradually felt that the army was getting out of his control.
But it's still the same truth. Lord Long live used his own money to help him raise his troops and didn't ask Jiang Xiang to pay a penny. Even if he was unhappy, he had nothing to say.
"Report! I humbled myself outside the city and captured one of the leaders of the bandit army."
"Oh? Take me to have a look." This chapter has been completed!
