Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    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, besides death is death!

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

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

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

    Nushan was not wrong about this. Not long after Bahana died, a cannonball fell near him, and the exploding fragments took away the life of the Qing general.

    Thousands of lives!  The lives of thousands of people were wiped out in the bombardment of artillery fire

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

    The fate of the Qing Dynasty should have ended here

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

    In fact, Haug knew from the beginning of this charge that he would never succeedthe 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!

    Like any other charge before.  Nothing changes except 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 has become less and less, and Shengjing has been submerged in the most terrible disaster.  But at this time, those in the palace in Shengjing are waiting for news of the victory ahead

    But as news came one after another, they lost all hope of victory.

    Bahana is dead, Nushan is dead.  Countless Qing troops died, and now even Prince Su 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?"

    Jierhalang 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.¡±

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

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

    Zhezhe was so frightened that he held back his tears. Bumubutai 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 organize together! Leave us alone,  We will never embarrass the Aixinjueluo family!"

    Jilharang and Azig knew that no matter what they said at this time, it would be 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, remember your identity  !¡±

    "Yes, I know." Shunzhi nodded vigorously

    ?¡­

    The sound of gunfire on the battlefield became somewhat quiet.  Haug looked around blankly, his soldiers?  Where are his men?  Where?  Where have they all gone?

    They were defeated by the Ming army!

    Hauge and the Ming army fought for so many years.  I have never encountered anything like this. The Qing army, which once dominated the world, was defeated by the Ming army.There is no ability to resist at all in front of me!

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

    "Come on, warriors of the Qing Dynasty!" Haug once again issued such a call.

    Those Qing troops 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 by Wuhua Da and became a prisoner of the Ming army.

    This was the first "big shot" 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 Ulanala of Huang Taiji.  Hauge has an extraordinary appearance and extraordinary strength. He has been on the battlefield for many years and has made many military exploits.  According to the rule of "establishing a leader", 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, formerly directly controlled by Huang Taiji, advocated supporting Hauge to inherit the throne.  Turge, Sony, Tu Lai, Xihan, Gong Adai, Ao Bai, Tan Tai, Ta Zhan and other important officials of the imperial court visited Prince Su's residence one after another to express their support for Prince Su as king.

    The highly respected Prince Zheng, Jierhalang, who controls the Xianglan Banner, is also inclined to support Hauge's ascension to the throne.  On strength.  Hauge has the support of the Zhenghuang, Xianghuang and Xianglan flags, plus the support of the Zhenglan flag generals he leads, giving him 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 influenced by the traditional concept of "establishing a leader" of the Han people.  With the support of so many 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 are indistinguishable, and the ambition he has accumulated in his heart because he missed the throne makes him not want to let go of the second opportunity.  Overwhelming Hauge in terms of competitive momentum.

    Dorgon and the officials of the Two White Banners were at odds with each other and firmly opposed the establishment of Hauge as king.  There are also many important ministers who advocate that Dorgon ascend to the throne.  The atmosphere in the East Veranda suddenly became tense, and all the participants held their breath and pondered, looking for 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 solution 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 refusing to give in to each other.  The smell of gunpowder in the palace is very strong, so be careful.  It's possible that the gun went off.  All the princes and important ministers in the court, without exception, were involved in the vortex of the struggle between Dorgon and Hauge for the throne.

    The ministers are all struggling to find a way out, fearing that there will be unrest 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 is acceptable to both Hauge and Dorgon.

    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 food 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 to follow the late emperor underground."  !¡±

    The ministers of the two yellow banners were 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 fighting, 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.  Jirharang was a supporter of Haug and served as the first regent.  Most senior officials in the palace had no objections.  Dorgon's appointment as the 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 he had not yet had time to realize his "ambition".  However, the Ming army had already captured Shengjing, and he 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 out has been completely shattered!

    When it gets brighter, Huben Guards have appeared outside the inner city of Shengjing.

    After Nurhachi entered Shenyang, he did not immediately start construction. Instead, he attacked westward, only within the city.A simple "palace of residence" is built according to the Jurchen architectural model inside the gate of the town.  Later Jin Dynasty rebuilt the Shenyang city wall 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, and 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 one gate.  At that time, the cross street became Ting Tac 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 Nurhachi's residence, it was fortunate to be preserved during the Qing Dynasty and became the "Ninth Gate".  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, which 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 a dozen cannons have been set up, and the Manchus know that more cannons will arrive soon.  At that time, the real destruction of Shengjing begins!

    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.  Maybe in the morning, the Ming army may launch the final attack on the inner city. Where will these Manchus go now?

    "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Prince Su Hauge was 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 and anywhere.

    Bumubutai said in a calm tone: "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!"

    His words immediately attracted a chorus of agreement.

    "Gu Shan'e is really brave. But it's not appropriate for the situation!" At this time, a voice sounded.

    Everyone looked there, and it was Sony who was speaking.  Sony was an important minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. When Nurhaci was here, because Hesheli, Sonny and his sons and the brothers Hesheli and Shuose were all proficient in Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese characters, Hesheli, Shuose and Hesheli were specially appointed.  Xifu worked as an official in the literary library together and was given the title "Bakshi".  Awarded to Hesheli Soni as a first-class bodyguard.

    As soon as he spoke at this time, everyone stopped talking and listened to Sony say:

    "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, ministers, what do we need most now? Time! Time to wait for Prince Rui to return to rescue us! If Prince Rui doesn't come, do you really think that we can defend this place with our current strength?  ? So many troops have failed, and even Prince Su¡¯s eight thousand elite soldiers are dead. What can we do to defend this place? "

    "Master Suo, what do you mean?" Turg said dissatisfied.

    "Gushan Ezhen, listen to Master Suo." Bumbutai said solemnly.

    Turge glared at Sony angrily, stepped aside and stopped talking. Sony said without being affected at all: "Time, time is everything to us! As long as we can delay the Ming army for three days, no. Maybe as long as we delay  The situation may change if they stay for a day! Therefore, I think we might as well negotiate with the Ming army!¡±

    As soon as the word "peace talks" came out, the court suddenly became chaotic!

    Turg was the first to stand up and object loudly: "How can there be any reason for peace talks between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming army? This is a loss of the prestige of the Qing Dynasty!"

    "Gushan Ezhen, when the late emperor was about to take such a huge advantage, he still chose to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty. Do you think the late emperor also fell into the prestige of our Qing Dynasty?" Sony pushed Turge back with one sentence, and then  Another sigh: "What's more, how can our Qing Dynasty still have any prestige at all? The enemy is just outside the city!"

    All of a sudden.  The court became extremely quiet again.

    Yes, the enemy is outside the city now!

    "We have to wait until Prince Rui comes back!" Sony suddenly raised his voice: "For the fate of the Qing Dynasty, what kind of things can we not tolerate?"

    Before I could finish a word, Ning Wanwo said loudly: "No!"

    He stood up and said: "The Ming army launched a surprise attack this time. The plan is so thorough and the preparations are so complete, just to destroy us in one fell swoop. When the Qing Dynasty comes, they will definitely refuse to negotiate. I expect that I will be humiliated if I go here!"

    "Master Ning, what are you talking about?" Seeing that a Han actually came to oppose him, Sony's face darkened: "Are you happy to let everyone die here? Do you still want to go to the Han to get it?"  Do we want credit for our brains?¡±

      ¡°You¡ª¡ª¡± Ning Wan and I were so angry that I couldn¡¯t speak.

    ¡° Han Chinese like me were always ostracized in front of the Manchus. No matter how loyal we were, we could never gain their true trust.

    "Stop arguing, Mr. Ning is also doing it for the sake of the Qing Dynasty!" Bumbutai stopped the two of them a little irritably, and then said: "What do you think of Prince Zheng?"

    Jierhalang was silent for a moment: "I'm afraid that the only way to delay peace talks is to delay the time. We just need to send an experienced person there."

    "Then let Wei Chen go." Sony stepped forward and said, "The idea came from me. If I don't go, I'm afraid no one will be convinced."

    "Sir Suo is loyal to the country, thank you for your hard work." Bumbutai nodded: "There is no harm in making concessions in front of the people of the Ming Dynasty. Just like what Master Suo said, time is the most important now."

    "I know!" Sony said respectfully.

    Bu Mu Butai suddenly stood up and said: "My dear friends, our Qing Dynasty will not be destroyed! Have you all forgotten the seven hatreds of Emperor Gao?" My grandfather has not harmed even an inch of land beside the Ming Dynasty.  I hate the fact that I have provoked the border and harmed my grandfather I have been defending the territory separately for many years, and the people of the territory have cultivated the fields and cultivated the valley. I clearly do not allow the harvest to be retained, and I have sent troops to drive them away. I hate the five  .Ye He outside the border was convicted by Heaven, but Ming believed his words, sent a special envoy to criticize his words in a suicide note, and committed humiliation. This is hateful. In the past, Hada helped Ye He invade the second time. I will repay it myself. Heaven has  The man who gave me Hada, Ming, blocked him and threatened me to return his country. I had many people who had Hada, and they were invaded and plundered by Ye He. All the countries were conquering each other. Those who obeyed the will of heaven prevailed and survived, and those who went against the will of heaven were defeated and perished.  , How can we resurrect those who died in the war, and how can we repay those who have won their lives? The king of the great country established by heaven is the common master of the world, why should he only blame our country for his help, resist the will of heaven, and turn right and wrong?  , It¡¯s arrogant to judge, this is the seven hatreds! Have you forgotten the seven great hatreds one day?¡±

    "I don't dare!" All the Manchu and Qing ministers said together.

    Bu Mu Butai's voice became trembling: "Now, the Seven Great Hatreds have not yet snowed, but there is another big hatred! Our Qing capital, Shengjingdu, has been broken by the enemy! Remember today, remember today's shame.  ! How can we face our ancestors when we are underground? The Qing Dynasty has to rely on us!"

    But, can the fate of the Qing Dynasty be saved?  I'm afraid the world of Qing Dynasty will never change again!
