Chapter 24 Your Majesty, let's go!
By the way, Yang Feng got what he wanted now.
He finally brought the Ming army and the Qing army to a point where they were incompatible.
In addition to this battle, the heads of the Qing army were hung on the Ningyuan city wall, and what was even more crazy was that Dorgon's brother was killed alive. The two sides were so bitter about this. Even if the Qing army took the initiative to surrender, not to mention others, Tang Yu, the people of Ningyuan, probably wouldn't have the courage to do so. Everyone understands. Even if Dorgon doesn't care, these more than 5,000 relatives and friends of the Qing army may not be careless. The Eight Banners are a relative's nest, and they are surrendered. Who knows who will die in Ningyuan in the future? If you find an opportunity behind your back, you will stab yourself and let your whole family go to the court?
Wu Sangui and his gang are fine.
But the problem is that Yang Feng and these people who dare not surrender to the Qing army are still blocking Ningyuan!
What should they do in the south?
Captured the emperor and surrendered?
Did the Emperor be killed by the Qing army?
This will be awesome for thousands of years, especially the emperor is so kind to them, he is granted official titles and titles, and promised Wu Sangui to be crowned kings in the future. They are not those bandits who have no culture. They have to consider some issues of reputation. More importantly, the Ming Dynasty was not yet at the time of the country's destruction, and at this time the Ming Dynasty still had most of the country south of the Yellow River. Who knows what will happen in the future? Many of their families are still under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. For example, Wang Yongji is a native of Gaoyou, and no matter how he calculates the regicide, he will kill the nine clans. It can be said that they cannot be done.
It would be okay if the emperor left!
But the problem is that he still has to live and die with the military and civilians!
Oh my God!
You go!
We don't want to live and die with you!
At this time, it is estimated that countless loyal ministers and generals at Shanhai Pass were shouting in their hearts, and even they did the same. From Wang Yongji to the folk gentry, countless subjects who were loyal to the emperor began to submit memorials for the sake of the emperor's safety, tens of thousands of people's books, and tens of thousands of people's books, and the trembling old man worked tirelessly to run to Ningyuan Fuque, or lying under the wall of Weiyuan Gate to kowtow to the emperor to put the country first, and hurry up to get on the boat south and go to Nanjing to take charge of the overall situation!
We will die if we die. This Ming Dynasty cannot be without the emperor!
Or we can't surrender if you don't leave!
Of course, everything is in vain.
The emperor really cherishes the people too much, and he will not abandon them no matter what.
"I am incompetent, so that the world will reach this point, the country is covered with dust, and the ancestral temple is killed. I am ashamed of the people and my ancestors. If I abandon my subjects and flee at this time when the Tartars are in a dilemma, what will I see Taizu in the nine springs? My Ming emperor guards the country's gates and the king dies in the country. At this time, I can only live and die with the people. Even if my blood is sprinkled on the battlefield, I will be ashamed of this life. If anyone who wishes me for helping me with Nanjing will be trapped in unkindness and unrighteousness!"
Yang Feng stood on the Weiyuan Gate Tower and shouted passionately.
The group of civil and military officials and gentry knelt down below were all stunned. However, the soldiers were moved very much, and many of them were filled with tears in their eyes. After all, the emperor could indeed escape easily at this time. Dozens of large warships of Huang Fei were waiting at the sea. Both the Qing army and Li Zicheng did not have the ability to intercept on the water. It took only a few days to set off from here to Dengzhou. The emperor still refused to leave and would rather stay in Ningyuan with them to fight the Qing army. This can be described as great.
"His Majesty!"
Wang Yongji knelt there and cried.
At the same time, he winked at Wu Sangui and others standing beside Yang Feng. It was probably because Wu Sangui took some extraordinary measures and simply forced the emperor to Huang Fei's ship. Anyway, they did this out of loyalty.
Wu Sangui pretended not to see anything.
He thought, but the problem was that he didn't have such ability. With the emperor's combat power, he threw hundreds of kilograms of things weighing dozens of feet. Who could control him?
"His Majesty!"
Seeing that Wu Sangui didn't respond, Wang Yongji was completely desperate and lay on the ground in sorrow and howled again. He knew that this time he could only fight with a bloody battle.
Moreover, it was not only a bloody battle in Ningyuan, but also a bloody battle in Shanhaiguan at the same time, because Li Zicheng's army had already left Beijing at this time. In fact, before that, the former Ming army, the former Ming army under Tang Tong's army, fought a battle with the defenders in Shanhaiguanxi, but the scale was very small, but this meant that the real war was not far away. In other words, the total number of the two places in Ningyu, including the strong men who were attacked and forced to pull, a total of 90,000 Ming troops would have to face no less than 300,000 enemies in two directions.
And it includes the eighty thousand eight banner elites.
Moreover, Li Zicheng has at least 60,000 to 70,000 and 70,000 elite soldiers who are experienced in many battles.
Wang Yongji lay there and couldn't help but burst into tears. He knew that this time he was really going to die, and he couldn't run away by himself, so he would be ruined. Their system is indeed very limited at times, but there are also some things that are taboos, and even death cannot cross the line. This time, all his roads have been blocked, and the rest are the only ones kidnapped by the emperor on this chariot and headed towards destruction.
He took a deep breath.
"I should live and die with the Lord!"
He said with a solemn look on his face.
Since this is the case, there is nothing to say. Huang Fei's sailors and warships escorted Song Quan and Feng Yuanyang to the south to pass the imperial edict. Both of them were from aristocratic families. Feng Yuanyang's younger brother Feng Yuanbiao was a core figure in the Donglin Party, former Minister of War and Shi Kefa's friendship. Not to mention Song Quan, they were both aristocratic families, one north and one south, and they were famous scholars. They went south with imperial edicts and had enough ability to ensure that the ministers of various ministries in Nanjing accepted this result. Chongzhen's sons were all in the hands of Li Zicheng. He himself was preparing to fight bloodyly in Ningyuan, so he had to choose one from the royal family to succeed him.
Although the selection of Longwu was not very consistent, after all, his seniority was two generations higher than Chongzhen, at this time, he was the only one among the royal family in the Ming Dynasty who could barely meet Yang Feng's requirements.
As for those ministers...
They don’t care who is the emperor. As long as the government is in charge or their control, who is the emperor is the same for them. With Yang Feng’s imperial edict and Song Quan and Feng Yuanyang’s connections, it is estimated that the problem of pushing Longwu to the position of governor will not be too great. As for the rest, it depends on Longwu’s own ability. Anyway, Yang Feng is ready. Even if he fails to escape in Ningyuanshanhaiguan, he will not go to Nanjing to get involved with those bastards. It’s so comfortable for him to run alone to pull an armed force alone. How much does it take to play tricks with a group of loyal ministers and generals like now, and then he will push them into the fire pit!
Seeing the warships that Feng Yuanyang and others were riding disappeared into the waves of the Bohai Sea, Yang Feng also sighed slightly.
"Wang Qing, should I contact Na Chuang Ni?"
Then he said.
Wang Yongji, who was looking at the warships reluctantly, was stunned, then woke up and looked at Yang Feng with incredible eyes, and then whispered: "Your Majesty is wise, you might as well be silly with them at this time."
"This matter is left to you!"
Yang Feng said.
"Respect the order!"
Wang Yongji said.
If the Qing army is going to start a large war next, then the relationship between them and Li Zicheng will be very delicate. Shanhaiguan is just a small trouble for Li Zicheng in the hands of the Ming army, but it is really deadly in the hands of the Qing army. He cannot make a wedding dress for Dorgon. It is a pleasure to see Yang Feng and Dorgon both suffer losses. At that time, he might be able to kill these two guys who have to be considered enemies together.
Of course it's not that simple either.
Because Li Zicheng had another option, which was to control himself, that is, at the same time that the Qing army attacked Ningyuan, he captured Shanhaiguan as quickly as possible, and then watched the fun at Shanhaiguan comfortably, but he would never be stupid enough to attack Ningyuan with the Qing army. This can be said to be absolute, that is, both sides still have to fight, and they have to fight a real bloody battle. Maybe Li Zicheng will suppress all the troops he can mobilize.
but……
Not lasting.
Li Zicheng would not be stupid enough to fight to the death with the Ming army at Shanhaiguan, because he had more important things. How much territory he had to wait to accept and how many rich people were waiting to plunder? How could he fight to the death in Shanhaiguan, which could not get a tael of silver? He would like his generals and soldiers to stop doing it! So his attack would indeed be very fierce, but it is probably just a wave of offensives. Once the losses were too great under Shanhaiguan, he would quickly retreat and watch Dorgon and Yang Feng fight to the death.
But no matter what, fighting must be fought, and all the premise is to fight a bloody battle that makes the enemy afraid.
"Your Majesty, it's not just about breaking the brink, but also the same thing for the Tartars."
Wang Yongji said carefully.
"Wang Qing's words are reasonable!"
Yang Feng said with a smile.
Indeed, Dorgon was the same.
His situation is the same as Li Zicheng in this game.
If Dorgon suffered heavy losses at Ningyuan City, and even the casualties exceeded his psychological endurance, then Dorgon would not fight with him. After all, there was Li Zicheng behind Yang Feng. If Dorgon fought with him and both sides were injured, then Li Zicheng would never mind killing Dorgon.
So from this point of view, Shanhaiguan may not be a desperate situation.
Although he has to face two enemies, as long as he shows the ability to break any of the legs, the two enemies will not fight him to the end. They actually have no time to play with him. Li Zicheng wants to fight southwards and expand his territory. Although Yang Feng's situation is special, it is a joke to say that he can counterattack Beijing. If he has that ability, he will not be driven out of Beijing. And Dorgon wants to go south to take the opportunity to grab the country. If he is not blocking the road, who has the time to waste his time with him here, but this is not the only way to go south, but this is just this one, and his strength is not enough to threaten anyone's safety. Even if the Qing army doesn't care about him, it's no big deal. What's wrong with him?
"It doesn't seem like this is a dead game!"
Yang Feng smiled and said.
"Your Majesty is wise, but you still have to fight this."
Wang Yongji also said with a smile.
"I am guarding Ningyuan, and you are guarding Shanhaiguan. Our king and his ministers work together to overcome difficulties."
Yang Feng said.
"Then we transport troops from the south and attacked north and south to regain Beijing!"
Wang Yongji said.
"You are the same as going to Yuntai Pavilion!"
Yang Feng said.
Chapter completed!
