Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Wu Sangui's army broke Tongguan on the ninth day of June.

In order to protect himself, Wang Jinbao assassinated Ebilong, so that Li Guoying jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it, so he had no choice but to fall to Wu Sangui. Knowing that Li Guoying was overjoyed by Wu Sangui, who had been hesitant to move eastward, he no longer hesitated, and immediately sent his second son-in-law, Hu Guozhu, generals Guo Zhuangtu, Ma Bao, and fierce general Wang Pingfan to attack Tongguan with 60,000 soldiers.

Li Guoying concealed the death of Ebilong, and the Qing, Manchu and Mongolian generals stationed in Tongguan were kept in the dark. On the seventh night of the first month of May, Wu Jun's fierce general Wang Pingfan led 400 dead men to climb Jiajinling to dive into Twelve Linked City. After paying more than 60 lives, Wang Pingfan successfully climbed the dangerous pass of Jiajinling. When Wang Jinbao, who was stationed in the Zimucheng of the Twelve Links, saw the signal that Wang Pingfan had successfully sneaked in, he immediately switched on and let Wang Pingfan enter the city.

On the Tongguan side, Li Guoying had already made his trusted generals open the door. In his sleep, the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners were panicked by the Wu army who broke into the closed door. In the darkness, he just thought that the Wu army had killed him in a big way. In addition, the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia have all fled back from Guiyang with Doni and Luo Keduo for thousands of miles, and then fled to Tongguan like a bereaved dog in Xi'an. Therefore, when they heard the shouts of killing outside, most of the Manchu and Mongolian Qing troops chose to abandon the pass and escape. Only Ai Xing A led his troops and Wu Jun to the death, and later died in the chaos of the army.

After the fall of Tongguan, Guo Zhuangtu and Ma Bao led the army to persuade the rest of the Qing army to surrender in the twelve cities. The most unfortunate Qing army was a green flag camp that came from Shanxi. It only took a few days to reach Tongguan, and all the generals and generals became prisoners.

After Wu Jun took Tongguan effortlessly, Wu Sangui immediately ordered his second son-in-law Hu Guozhu and Wang Pingfan to lead 20,000 troops as the vanguard to attack Henan. Jia Hanfu, the governor of Henan, who was stationed in Kaifeng, was shocked by the fall of Yutong Pass, and rushed to Beijing to report urgently.

After Hu Guozhu and Wang Pingfan led the army into Henan, the prefectures and counties in western Henan were almost decided without a fight. The doors were opened wherever Wu Jun went. Anyway, wherever they didn't go, they were eager to move. Some officials and gentlemen even broke their braids early. , ordered people to prepare wine and meat, and as soon as Wu Jun arrived, he would open the door to welcome him, and then help the army of Emperor Yongli of the Ming Dynasty. Within half a month of entering Henan, Hu Guozhu's ministry had expanded to more than 30,000 people. This situation is in stark contrast to the swearing-to-death resistance of the Southern Henan officials to the Loyalty Camp.

The situation in Henan is precarious, and the Central Plains is in danger!

........

In Beijing, Shunzhi has not been to court for three days, and his beloved concubine Dong E's condition is getting worse. The imperial physicians said that the imperial concubine might not survive this month.

After returning to the Qianqing Palace from Dong'e, Shunzhi sat there in a daze, and the eunuchs who served closely did not dare to disturb the emperor. But when the minister of the interior, Sony, led several ministers to the outside of the hall, the **** Zhao Quan, the chief eunuch, cautiously entered and knelt down and recited: "Long live Lord, Lord Sony, Hu Shi'an, the Great Wallace of Wuying Hall, and Yitu, the Minister of War, ask to see you."

Shunzhi looked at Zhao Quan absently, turning a blind eye, as if he hadn't heard.

Zhao Quan didn't dare to stand up, and he didn't dare to raise his head, so he had to report it again, raising his voice slightly.

"Xuan into the hall."

Shunzhi finally waved his hand. Zhao Quan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly led the three ministers in. Sony looked preoccupied, Hu Shian had a dark cloud on his face, only Itu didn't seem to change his normal state, but his slightly trembling fingers showed that he was trying to suppress his inner unease.

The three knelt down and bowed. Shunzhi asked them all to get up. Seeing Sony's ugly face, he couldn't help but ask him, "What's the urgency? You have to enter the palace so late?"

Sony glanced at Hu Shi'an and Itu, stepped forward and said, "My lord, the governor of Henan, Jia Hanfu, made an urgent delivery, Tongguan is lost!"

"what!"

There was a shriek in Shunzhi's ear, and his face suddenly lost its blood. In order to hide the panic in his heart, he slammed his palm on the table with a "snap", and asked the Sony three in a stern voice: "Didn't Ebilong go to Tongguan! Malji came back and said that Wu Sangui didn't want to go east, why? It was lost in a blink of an eye! What the **** is going on!"

Sonny murmured, "According to the remarks on the relics of Jiahan, Ebilong was defeated and killed, and the defenders of Tongguan only fled back to more than 6,000 people..."

"Abillon is dead?"

Shunzhi shook his head, unable to believe his ears.

Hu Shian caught the emperor's eyes and was too frightened to speak. Itu tried his best to calm himself down and said: "Your Majesty, Tongguan has been lost, and now Wu Sangui's army has entered Henan, Jia Hanfu has only more than 10,000 green flag battalions, and the fore-consort Huashan has only 4,000 Han troops. Counting the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers who retired from Tongguan, Henan's army is only 20,000, but Wu's army has tens of thousands, and there are big bandits such as Li Laiheng, Hao Yaoqi, etc., the rest of the thieves in southern Henan. What Jia Hanfu can do now is only We are trapped in Kaifeng. If Kaifeng is lost again, the whole province of Henan will be lost. Henan is a dangerous place in the Central Plains, and it must not fall into the hands of Wu Sangui. Please make a decision early!"

Shunzhi was stunned for a while, and said hoarsely, "Send the Eight Banners Power Team~www.readwn.com~ to reinforce Kaifeng!"

Hearing this, Sony was stunned for a moment, and said, "Master, the Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade have just been reorganized, and now it is urgent to mobilize them, I am afraid that the whip will be too long. Furthermore, if the Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade are relocated to the south, there will be no troops and horses to defend."

Sony's worry is precisely the biggest problem facing the Qing Dynasty now, that is, there are no soldiers to send. Prince Jian Jidu was in Guangdong, Roto in Guangxi, Guan Zhongzhong in Zhenjiang, Yuele in Nanjing, Shunzhi in Yangzhou, and Duny in Mopanshan in Yunnan. After these major battles, the losses of the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia were staggering. Now in the city of Beijing, even the Eight Banners of Shengjing from outside Shangguan are full, and the Eight Banners of Manzhou are only more than 30,000.

Although after raising the flag, there are still more than 10,000 Han troops and more than 4,000 green battalions incorporated into the Eight Banners of Manchuria, but these people have not yet been brought to Manchuria for a short time, and they have not yet gotten used to it. They hurriedly transferred south to Henan to resist Wu Sangui. Too reluctant.

According to Sony's original intention, the flag-raising is still in progress. After half a year, the number of Han troops and green flag battalions planned to be carried into Manchuria is 50,000. In this way, adding the real Manchu and Mongolian flags, the Qing Dynasty will be counted. There is a mobile group of 100,000 people available, although it still cannot change the current disadvantage, but at least whether it is against the thief Xiucai or Wu Sangui, they have the power to fight back. However, the premise for the success of this matter is not only that Manchuria does not reject the Han people into the flag, but also that the thief Xiucai and Wu Sangui can give the Qing time to complete this major event.

On the side of the thief Xiucai, the negotiation has been completed, although the negotiation will be more beneficial to the thief Xiucai in the long run, because the other party has occupied the important land of money and grain in the southeast, and he needs more time to digest the fat in his mouth than the Qing Dynasty. The first-class thief scholars digested the southeast, and they must go north in large numbers. At that time, facing the thieves who lacked money and food, the troubles of the Qing Dynasty were even greater. But Qing had to swallow this poison, because the situation did not allow Qing to have another choice.
