Chapter 4: Forced to move the capital (Sixth)

"Prince Rui was scared by Guanning Iron Cavalry?" Turg said.

"I am talking about the matter, Lord Turge, don't be rude!" Dorgon said angrily.

"Prince Rui, you..." Turge is Huang Taiji's confidant general. Even the old Daishan was polite to him, but Dorgon didn't take him seriously.

"Okay, Turg, the most important thing at the moment is how to retreat to the enemy and protect the capital of our Qing Dynasty!" Huang Taiji reached out to stop the battle of intent.

"Emperor, although the Ming army is coming in full force, it only occupies a small area of ​​Ximen. With Prince Zheng here, with the bravery of the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, I believe that the Ximen will be able to be recaptured soon." The old man said kindly.

"Prince Li said that Prince Zheng is brave and intelligent, and he will definitely be able to defeat the enemy and drive the enemy out of the capital in the future!" Ganglin echoed.

"Emperor, the Liaodong Military Region of the Ming court was headed by Yuan Chonghuan. Everyone knows that Yuan Chonghuan is good at defending, but they don't know that he is good at attacking. Emperor Ming fought in the south, and although the limelight was taken away by Emperor Ming, he was just a hand-off manager. His basic battle commands were all from this General Yuan. Man Gui came to attack. So where is Yuan Chonghuan and is he in charge of western Liaoning?" Dorgon asked calmly.

Yuan Chonghuan's terribleness was defending the city. Everyone knew that the generals of the Qing Dynasty had died indirectly in his hands. All the descendants of the Aisin Gioro family wanted to peel their skin, slash their bones, and eat their flesh. Now I suddenly heard that Yuan Chonghuan was not only good at defending but also attacking, but was an all-round intelligent commander. Everyone's hearts were covered with a shadow, which was definitely not good news.

"Li Chengliang did not do it at that time, and Yuan Chonghuan could not do it." Haoge said disdainfully.

"Prince Su's words make sense. There are eight or ninety thousand elite soldiers of our Eight Banners in Shengjing City, and only 50,000 Mangui's army has only been siege three times and ten times. Even if the Liaodong army gives all its shares, it is only three times that of our defenders!" Xi Fuwen said in a sensation.

"The Ming people's use of troops this time is beyond the reach of the real trend. Judging from the current phenomenon of Man Gui's fierce attack on Ximen and feinting the two gates in the north and south, it seems that it is necessary to take down my Shengjing in one fell swoop. But what the old minister is worried about is that if the Ming army did not aim for Shengjing, but the capture of Ximen was just caused by our army's negligence in defense and defense, the Ming army's purpose is extremely likely to be Liaoyang City. Prince Cheng's new official took office, and he may not be able to integrate the three armies. With the sharpness of the Ming army's artillery, Liaoyang City is in danger!" Fan Wencheng said worriedly.

"When the Ming army has captured Liaoyang, why did they divide their troops to attack Shengjing? There are tens of thousands of soldiers of the Eight Banners in Liaoyang City, and even artillery cannons to help. It is not easy for the Ming army to conquer Liaoyang." Dai Shan retorted.

"If the Ming army also learned from Man Gui, and accidentally captured a city gate, the army could enter the city continuously. Wouldn't Liaoyang City be taken down quickly?" Fan Wencheng said.

"Is there any news about Liaoyang?" Huang Taiji also felt a slight bad premonition and asked in a deep voice.

"No."

"Immediately send someone out from the east gate and go to Liaoyang to investigate the situation. If the Ming army has not arrived, please remind Yue Tuo by the way and let him be careful of the dike!" Huang Taiji said.

The messenger sent by Haoge was caught by a patrol team under Wu Sangui as soon as he left the east gate. The messenger couldn't help but beat him and confessed in a few seconds.

"It seems that the Qing dynasty was calm, which also shows that Man Gui's attack at Ximen was not going well!" Wu Sangui frowned slightly and said to himself after reading the messenger's confession.

On the other hand, Man Gui was also very anxious. The attack was not smooth. The enemy's resistance was very tenacious and there were great casualties. Moreover, even if Cao Xiong and others kept shooting and killing the opponent's officers, it could only play a limited role. After all, the Shengjing family has been in operation for more than ten years and is their capital.

"How many grenades do we have?" Man Gui asked a staff officer beside him.

"There are still a hundred boxes. Since we are marching urgently, we brought fewer grenades in order to bring more artillery." The staff officer said.

Man Gui lowered his head and pondered for a moment, clenched his fists and said, "Give me all the money to Tang Tong, let him blow me up, and I will blow it out hard. I don't believe it anymore. After fighting for so long, I pushed 500 meters into the city, and there were so many casualties, so I can't get through it!" Man Gui said viciously, these cavalry were chosen by him, and he felt very distressed for every death. What's more, more than 300 people died and more than 500 people were injured in this battle in less than an hour?

Tang Tong was the major general who attacked Ximen this time, and was also a powerful general. At this time, he almost had a red eye. If his subordinates had not been desperately dragged him down, he would have personally led his people to rush forward.

"What, throw all the grenades in?" Tang Tong was ecstatic and had thought of this thing for a long time, but he didn't bring much. He still understood the principle that good steel should be used on the blade. Therefore, even if the battle was so fierce, he did not mention Man Gui. Now, the boss took the initiative to use all the treasures in the box. Isn't this battle easy to fight?

"Take it for me, throw it to places with a lot of people, cough, cough, boy, save some money, this is the treasure of Vice President, there are only so many, there is still a battle to fight below!"

Although the power of the grenade is not as powerful as that of the cannon, its lethality is amazing, especially in the densely crowded urban street battles, the brave Eight Banners soldiers suffered huge casualties and suffered huge losses and retreated step by step, forming a collapse!

"The king's army has entered Shenyang!" The inside lines that had been ambushing in Shenyang City, shouted slogans and led the Ming army to quickly clear out the remaining soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty in the area controlled by Xicheng.

"Report that the Ming army has captured Xicheng District and has begun to continuously advance into the city!"

"Report, Gushan Ezhen Boluo was killed!"

"Report, Xiangmin Beizi Duodahai died in battle in Ximen!"

"Report that most of the Ming army has entered the city!"

"Report, Duke Sui Guo Darkha was seriously injured!"

"Reported, the Duke of Zhenguo was blown away by a grenade in his eyes!"

"Report,..."

The bad news was sent to Qingning Palace one by one, and the calmness of the monarchs and ministers of the Qing Dynasty could no longer be maintained.

Huang Taiji's face was as deep as water, as if he was ten years old, and he was far from ascending the throne and becoming emperor.

Dai Shanfeng Zhu's dying years old has long been in a state of vain, and his face is pale, no different from a hanged ghost.

Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly turned sharply, and it was less than an hour. I just swore that I could not worry about defending Shengjing City. Maybe it would be a heavy blow to the Ming Dynasty, but now it is about to be in danger of the city being destroyed and people being killed. When the officials living in the west of the city heard that the west of the city had been occupied by the Ming army, many of them immediately fainted in Chongzheng Hall. The imperial physicians were in a hurry and had no time to rescue them. Some of them really couldn't wake up.

"Your Majesty, Shengjing can't be defended anymore. Keep the green mountains and there is no fear of no firewood. Move the capital!" Fan Wencheng had no choice. Even if he had the wisdom of heaven at this time, he could not save Shengjing's defeat. Unless there was a way to restrain the Ming army's grenades, he could find out what way to restrain the grenades in a hurry, especially in urban street battles, where grenades were simply invincible.

"What, moving the capital, Grand Secretary Fan, do you know the consequences of moving the capital?" Haoge said glaringly.

"I know that once the capital is announced, the emperor's prestige will be greatly damaged, and the prestige of our Qing Dynasty will plummet. Many people will betray our Qing Dynasty and throw themselves into the arms of others." Fan Wencheng said calmly.

"Since you know everything, why do you suggest me to move the capital? What are your intentions?" Haoge asked.

"The problem is that if the capital is not moved now, you, me, the emperor and the foundation of the Qing Dynasty will be handed over to others. Although Shengjing is now the capital of my Qing Dynasty, it does not mean that they will be there in the future." Fan Wencheng said.

"We can also ask for help from Liaoyang and Fushun!" Turge was no longer as arrogant as before.

"It's too late. With the current speed of the Ming army, we can quickly reach the palace." Dorgon said coldly.

"Your Majesty, if you want to break it, you will break it. If you withdraw now, our vitality will still be there, and it is unknown if it will be a comeback in the future. If it is too late and Man Gui's infantry reinforcements arrive, it will probably be too late to leave." Xifu also stood on Fan Wencheng's side this time.

Lao Daishan nodded frequently to express his agreement.

"I really want to move the capital?" Huang Taiji faced a very painful choice. The significance of losing Shengjing was not only to ruin his prestige and his reputation was greatly affected. The most important thing was that he was unable to defend the foundation laid by his father Nurhaci. This was a great blow to Huang Taiji. He suddenly became ambition to turn flat.

The sound of shouting and the explosion of the grenades was slowly approaching. At this time, the palace was already in chaos. The Empress of Qingning Palace, the concubines and concubines of the other four palaces were all waiting for Huang Taiji's decision in fear.

"Brig Commander, look, a large number of people fleeing from the east gate. It seems that they are not Chinese, but Manchus with whips. Do you think we are?" The major staff officer who was observing the intelligence ran to Wu Sangui excitedly and reported.

"Let them go!" Wu Sangui waved his hand lightly.

"What, let's go, brigade commander, these are all Manchus, not us Han people!" The staff officer said in a very puzzled manner.

"If these little fish are released, we are waiting for a big fish. That is the target of our Royal Special Operations Brigade." Wu Sangui smiled.

"Yes, brigade commander, I understand." When the staff officer heard this, he immediately smiled happily and went down to pass the orders, releasing the group of Manchu nobles who escaped from the east gate.

Huang Taiji finally made up his mind to move the capital out of Shengjing. After this decision, the Manchu nobles all breathed a sigh of relief, and the city of Shengjing became even more chaotic. There were smoke everywhere, and the panicked crowd pushed me and cried and screamed.

Dorgon hurried back to the royal palace under the escort of his guards, conveyed to Leng Yan that Huang Taiji had moved the capital and withdrew from Shengjing, and arranged for the Fujin Wuyun Shandan and the royal palace to retreat.

Huang Taiji wanted to escape, this was a huge piece of information. Leng Yan immediately spread the important information through his intelligence system. He himself protected Dorgon's family and fled from the east gate. Dorgon had another task. He needed to lead an army out of the south gate to attract and drag the Guanning Iron Cavalry, cover Huang Taiji and his ministers in the court to retreat from the east gate. The same was true for Haoge at the north gate. Each of them transferred 10,000 troops to stop the Ming army's pursuit and wait for an opportunity to break through!

Man Gui was very strange. Why did the Qing people just move, and someone soon passed the news to him. Although he knew that the Military Information Department was operating, it was really hard to imagine that the Military Information Department could actually insert people to Huang Taiji. No wonder the emperor said "inside and outside". It turned out that Shengjing's city defense was useless. Where did this detailed Shengjing defense map come from? There was almost no error, it was too amazing.

It should be noted that anyone can touch such a detailed defense map. At least the senior generals among the Qing people had the opportunity to see it, and they could not even peek at the full picture. Such a detailed defense map may be qualified to see all of the princes among the Qing people in the Qing people in the future, but they are all brothers and nephews of Huang Taiji. Even if there are any conflicts, they will not betray this. It is really puzzling!
