Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The war has come to an end here.

    There is no longer any force that can stop the Tiger Guards from seizing Shanhaiguan.  This majestic pass will soon return to the hands of the Ming Dynasty again.

    Dorgon knew that it was time for him to face trial, even though he was unwilling to do so.  But what else can he do?

    Dying here might be a good choice for him.

    At this time, Dorgon suddenly had a strange idea in his heart. He wanted to meet Ding Yunyi to see what kind of person his enemy was.

    He didn¡¯t know why he had such an idea.

    The road was finally cleared a little, and now the terrifying musketeers of the Tiger Guard appeared.  Once such a force appears on the battlefield, it means that the countdown to the end of the war has begun.

    The sound of gunfire that frightened and familiarized the Qing soldiers once again appeared in Shanhaiguan.

    This is a weapon that seems impossible to withstand in this era. It is a nightmare weapon for the Qing army.

    Thousands of Qing soldiers fell into a pool of blood under the roar of muskets, and this further accelerated the capture of Shanhaiguan by the Tiger Guards.

    Maybe the only one who can stop the Tiger Guards is the Tiger Guards themselves, right?

    The casualties of the Qing army are constantly increasing This has even reached a terrifying level The Qing army has already surrendered in some places.

    The confidence that Dorgon had built up when he proclaimed himself emperor disappeared without a trace in an instant under the blows of passes and muskets.  What remains is the most desperate struggle.

    The Tiger Guards were like a tide, drowning the enemies in front of them in waves. They opened their bloody mouths and continued to swallow up one life after another.

    Nikan also died, and he died in front of Dorgon.

    In fact, by this time, Dorgon had already become numb. Too many people had died, and if more people died, it would be nothing more than that.

    He saw the Ming war flags fluttering in the wind inside the pass, which was simply a kind of torture for him and the Qing army.

    He looked at the subordinates around him and found that their faces were full of helplessness and despair. He found that these subordinates of his had really completely lost their determination to continue to resist

    He smiled, at this moment he actually smiled.  emperor?  How long has it been since you proclaimed yourself emperor?  Is this simply a farce?  Will he be laughed at by people in the future?

    Will his name be on the pillar of shame?

    Dorgon can no longer control this.

    "Your Majesty, a large number of Ming troops have also appeared on the other side of Guan."

    This report caused huge panic and commotion. What does this mean?  This means that the escape route is completely blocked.

    Dorgon was not afraid at all. Maybe he had expected all this?

    "Command everyone to surrender." Dorgon suddenly said these words slowly.

    The subordinates were stunned: "Your Majesty, we can still fight!"

    Although they know that this time they are bound to lose, they are not willing to stop resisting.

    Because they know what it means to stop resisting!

    They are the last strength of the Qing Dynasty and the last hope of the Qing Dynasty.  If the resistance is stopped, then the Qing Dynasty will really be over. Who else can save the Qing Dynasty's fate?  Who else can reverse all this?

    "Surrender." Dorgon repeated his words again: "Too many people have died. There is no need for more people to die. Surrender is a shame, but it is a relief for them!"

    ¡°By them, he refers to the soldiers who are still fighting

    The Manchu generals lowered their once-high heads.  once Upon a time.  They showed off their power in front of the Ming Dynasty; once upon a time, they entered the country and plundered again and again; once upon a time, they had no doubt about destroying the Ming Dynasty.

    But now everything they knew has been turned upside down.

    It is they who suffer the shame of failure.  Moreover, this failure made it impossible for the Qing Dynasty to turn around.  What is causing this?

    All of their eyes fell on a huge battle flag:

    The brave and loyal tiger guards!

    Maybe this is the reason why they failed

    ?¡­

    On April 23, Dorgon, the former auxiliary king of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the pseudo-"weizheng emperor", ordered the surrender.

    The Battle of Shanhaiguan is over!

    existHuang Taiji falsely claimed to be the emperor, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty experienced a total of three emperors: Huang Taiji, Fulin, and Dorgon.

    Huang Taiji died of illness, but Fulin and Dorgon became prisoners of the Ming Dynasty.

    Cheers spread throughout Shanhaiguan inside and outside!

    Victory, this time is a real victory.  When Shanhaiguan was captured, it meant that they finally took the final step to victory.

    ¡°Perhaps the Manchus will still resist, but this is irrelevant.  It was just a little commotion.

    Looking at the cheering Tiger Guard soldiers, the generals were also excited. They did not expect that victory would come so early, or even that victory would come so easily.

    In the afternoon, Ding Yunyi, the mighty king of the Ming Dynasty, entered Shanhaiguan!

    The cheers sounded again!

    This is the most glorious day of Ming Dynasty.  This is the proudest day of Ming Dynasty!  No one can forget this day, and the glory of this day will be deeply engraved in everyone's heart.

    Long live the Ming Dynasty!

    But it was obvious that Ding Yunyi did not have much energy to accept such cheers. Although the Manqing was defeated, there were still too many things waiting for him to do.

    The generals of the Huben Guards were summoned immediately.

    "I know that everyone is excited about defeating the Manchu Qing this timebut I think now is not the time to be excited" Ding Yunyi said straight to the point: "The Qing Dynasty fell. Li Zicheng died, but the rogue bandit Zhang Xianzhong returned.  Now, I decided to pursue the victory and continue the crusade against Zhang Xianzhong."

    Speaking of this, he glanced at Li Dingguo.  He originally wanted Li Dingguo to kill Zhang Xianzhong, but after thinking about it, Li Dingguo was once Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son, so doing so would be a bit too unkind.  After thinking for a moment he said:

    "Huangfu Yunjie, Houlu, Ahu!"

    "Here you are!" Three people responded and walked up.

    "The three of you each lead an army, divide the troops into three groups, and attack the rebel Zhang Xianzhong!" Ding Yunyi said slowly: "I will give you whatever you want, artillery, muskets, I will give you the most comprehensive support for one year!  We must destroy Zhang Xianzhong!"

    "yes!"

    Ding Yunyi listened to the three people's high-spirited answers and nodded with satisfaction: "Time is urgent. Set off immediately."

    Watching the three people leave, Ding Yunyi pondered for a moment: "I have decided to leave Shanhaiguan and return to the capital tomorrow. The late emperor regards me as the general marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, Ding Yuanzhao, Minister of the Ministry of War!"

    "Here!" Although his son called him by his first name, Ding Yuanzhao didn't feel there was anything wrong.

    "In my name as the Generalissimo and the Ministry of War, let the Ming troops in various places stay put and wait for orders."

    "yes!"

    After giving instructions one by one, Ding Yunyi breathed out softly: "Bring Dorgon up to me."

    Dorgon was brought up.

    This is the first time Ding Yunyi has seen Dorgon so close.  This person who once destroyed the Ming Dynasty in his own memory has now become his prisoner.

    Ding Yunyi smiled: "Have you thought about today?"

    "No." It was also the first time that Dorgon saw Ding Yunyi at such a close distance: "I always thought that I would be able to destroy the Ming Dynasty sooner or later, but now I have failed. Ding Yunyi. Please find me a stool."

    Ding Yunyi magnanimously asked someone to find a stool for him. After Dorgon sat down, Ding Yunyi said: "Actually, I thought of it a long time ago. But what I didn't expect was that you didn't commit suicide, but chose to surrender.  ¡±

    "I want to see you." Dorgon did not hide his inner thoughts at all: "I almost succeeded. If I can work harder when we are in a piece of stone, and the soldiers can be braver, then the winner will be  Maybe it¡¯s me.¡±

    Ding Yunyi shook his head: "Not necessarily. Suppose I died on a piece of stone that day, Shengjing will definitely be captured. And if you lose Shengjing, you will be like a bereaved dog. The only one you can rely on is Shanhaiguan. Without my Huben  Wei may fall into chaos for a short time, but someone will definitely come forward, and I have already made arrangements"

    In front of Dorgon, he is a winner, so he doesn¡¯t mind saying what¡¯s on his mind:

    "I can completely accept that my death can lead to the victory of the entire war, so you will fail sooner or later. I think you have seen the weapons of the Tiger Guards with your own eyes, and you think you will be given another chance. We have hundreds of thousands of troops.  Line up on the battlefield, face to face in a decisive battle, do you have a chance of victory? "

    Dorgon thought for a moment, then shook his head honestly.  He simply couldn't deny it.

    For the Qing armyexplain.  Those firearms were so terrifying that they were simply not something the Eight Banners cavalry could withstand.

    Dorgon asked his doubts: "Ding Yunyi, I remember that you were just a small patrol officer eleven years ago. Why did you rise to where you are today in such a short time? How could you have such a powerful firearms unit?"  How was it established?¡±

    Ding Yunyi was silent for a moment: "There is an element of luck, but I think more of it depends on what I knowDorgon, the age of firearms, or the age of hot weapons, has arrived, and it cannot be obtained with swords and spears alone.  Victory in the war is where I am better than you, so I started to form my own firearms unit a long time ago. Another thing you may not believe is that I was preparing to fight with you ten years ago.  A decisive battle, of course it was just an idea at that time.¡±

    Dorgon shivered.

    If the truth is really what Ding Yunyi said, it would be terrible.  Were you preparing for the decisive battle with the Qing Dynasty ten years ago?  No, there was no Qing Dynasty at that time, there was only Houjin.  But, why does this person hate Hou Jin so much?  And what kind of force drove him to do this?

    Ding Yunyi smiled: "You know I won't let you go. Do you have any wishes that you haven't fulfilled?"

    "Yes!" Dorgon replied without hesitation: "You and I are enemies. No one can hold grudges against whoever wins, but I hate two people!"

    "Is Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming?" Ding Yunyi said with a slight smile.

    Seeing Dorgon nodding, Ding Yunyi slightly raised his voice: "Bring Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming in."

    When Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming came in.  Somewhat afraid, they looked at Ding Yunyi, then at Dorgon, and then lowered their heads.

    It was they who betrayed Dorgon

    "It's gratifying, Geng Zhongming, you have done a great job. I once promised you a big official position, and now I have decided to fulfill my promise." Ding Yunyi said with a smile.

    "Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty." Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming said overjoyed.

    Ding Yunyi's eyes were fixed on them: "But the officers of my Huben Guard are all full, and I promised to give you officers. What should I do? After much deliberation, I can only send you to a place where there is someone or  I will do it for you."

    Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming looked at each other and asked boldly: "I wonder where the prince wants to send us?"

    "Where is Lord Yama!"

    As soon as these words came out, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming were shocked and fell to their knees on the ground with a plop: "My lord, you promised not to kill us!"

    ¡°I regretted it!¡±

    In the midst of laughter, Ding Yunyi's face suddenly darkened: "You are an official of our Ming Dynasty, betray the Ming Dynasty first, and then betray the Manchus. I really can't imagine how people like you can still have the honor to live in the world! Come on,  kill!"

    Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming were dragged down.  Their miserable cries continued to be heard.

    "Ding Yunyi, thank you." Dorgon let out a long breath: "You helped me avenge my revenge. I owe you a favor, but I'm afraid I won't be able to repay it in this life. You can take action now."

    Ding Yunyi nodded and asked Dorgon to be taken away.

    This former auxiliary king of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has completed the last stage of his life.

    His death was not unjust, and his defeat at the hands of Ding Yunyi was not a shame

    Just after Dorgon was executed, Cai Jiuzhou and Ye Dahai came back.

    This is the hero of Ming Dynasty!

    Ding Yunyi personally greeted them and learned from their mouths.  Zhang Xianxuan is continuing to pursue the Manchus, but according to the current progress, he will be able to return in triumph in about half a year.

    And those who came to Shanhaiguan with Cai Jiuzhou and Ye Dahai were also the captured Manchu ministers and Bumu Butai, Zhezhe, and Fulin!

    The majority of the Manchu core is here!

    That year, Zhezhe was forty-four years old and Bumubutai was thirty-one.  To be honest, Bumubutai, the Manchu empress dowager, still has some flavor.  Especially at the age of thirty, she exudes the mature demeanor of a young woman.

    Queen Mother Xiaozhuang?  Ding Yunyi suddenly thought of Bumbutai's title and couldn't help but smile.

    His eyes fell on Fulin. This so-called "Shunzhi Emperor" by the Manchus was just a child.  What ability does he have to govern a country?

    Jierhalang committed suicide on the way here unprepared.  This saved a lot of pain.

    Ding Yunyi¡¯s eyes fell on the two people standing behind Bumbutai. Cai Jiuzhou was standing there.The person beside him whispered: "That's Fan Wencheng, that's Lu Yanhan."

    Fan Wencheng?  Lu Yanhan?

    Fan Wencheng is a well-known traitor. There is nothing more to say about this. Lu Yanhan is the person Ding Yunyi designated to arrest. He wants to know what kind of relationship there is between this man and brother Deng Lianyu.

    Fan Wencheng was called up. There was no particular fear on his face. Ding Yunyi asked slowly: "Fan Wencheng, do you regret it?"

    "Regret? Why should I regret it?" Fan Wencheng sneered: "The only thing I regret is that I couldn't do my best to save the Qing Dynasty from danger."

    Ding Yunyi shook his head, there is no way to save such a person.

    Fan Wencheng suddenly raised his voice: "Ding Yunyi, although Shengjing has been destroyed, there are still loyal ministers like me in the Qing Dynasty! Kill me!"

    "Are you a Manchu or a Han?" Ding Yunyi was not angry at all. On the contrary, he was very curious and said: "Let's say you are a Manchu, but you are a Han. Let's say you are a Han, but you are so Manchu.  Be loyal."

    "Although I am a Han Chinese, I am appreciated by the late emperor. I will be a Qing citizen all my life and death!" Fan Wencheng said proudly.

    "Really?" Ding Yunyi smiled: "You are willing to be loyal to the Manchus, but the Manchus may not regard you as one of their own. I heard that your wife was almost snatched away by Duduo?"

    Fan Wencheng's face changed as soon as he heard this.

    After the death of Huang Taiji, Fulin was promoted as the new king, which was a temporary compromise among the fierce fighting among the various factions within the Eight Banners aristocracy.  After Fulin succeeded to the throne, this struggle continued.  On August 16, the princes Adali and Beizishuo asked Prince Zheng Jierharang, Prince Li Daishan, and Prince Rui Dorgon to lobby for the appointment of Dorgon as king. Daishan and Dorgon informed the princes.  Wang Beile then had Adali and Shuotuo executed for treason, and their families were expropriated.  Fan Wencheng was originally a subordinate of Hongqi Shuotuo, but was transferred to Xianghuangqi at this time.

    Fan Wencheng had just avoided the unexpected disaster caused by his master's rebellion against the country, and soon encountered new troubles.  Prince Duduo of Henan Province, Prince Regent Dorgon's younger brother, deceived him into being a lackey of the Manchus and wanted to snatch Fan Wencheng's wife. After some twists and turns, the solution was resolved. After careful review, King Baylor decided to fine Duduo a silver  One thousand taels and fifteen niulu were taken away.  Although Fan Wencheng saved the day and did not suffer the disaster of his wife being bullied, he was still worried.  Duduo is the lord of a banner, he is a prince, a county king, and he is the half-brother of the regent Dorgon. Will he ignore this in the future?  If he recalls his past grudges, Fan Wencheng may inevitably be wiped out.

    This was the last thing Fan Wencheng wanted to mention, but at this moment Ding Yunyi brought it up again.  Fan Wencheng gritted his teeth, but didn't know what to do.

    In fact, he has been telling himself deep down in his heart that in the hearts of many Manchus, no matter how loyal he is, he is still just a dog!  Nothing can change this.

    This is also the most painful and helpless thing for him.

    Ding Yunyi suddenly smiled and said: "You want to die, but I won't let you die!"
