Chapter 76:Manchu Invasion

People say that Ruixue is a good year, but it is not a good thing to be early in the snow.

As usual in September, it is the harvest time, but at the end of September, the Great Wall line has already dropped a snowfowl.

At the beginning of October, along the town of thistle in the Daming Empire, snowflakes were swept by the north wind, and the sky was gray.

On the blaze platform along the Great Wall, the old pawns of thistle town wore a worn cotton robe and held a red rifle in their hands, standing in the cold wind, constantly trembling.

Songshan World War I, the elite of the army along the Great Wall, the loss of seven or eight, only some old and weak, and the Ming Dynasty treasures as awash, the treasury is empty, and there is no money to recruit for food, so the defense is extremely weak.

Two soldiers on the fire, a 40-year-old limping old psalm as skinny, the other is only about ten years old, is a half-little child, his face is frozen red, his hands and feet are frozen sores, swollen like a halogen pig's hand.

"Three children, the weather is cold, I will come to look at it, you go down to hide."The old pawn put his hands into his sleeve, hugging the long gun, and trembling, while trembling, while froze the snot beside him.

"Uncle Liu, I'm not cold, I'm here with you."The little crocused, childish face, with a tinge of stubbornness.

The old man waved his hand, "You don't stand up, go down first to rest, and wait for you to change your uncle Liu."

At this time, the little pawn did not move, and his face suddenly showed a panic full of face, pointing to the outside of the gate, and trembling: "Liu ~ Uncle Liu ~ behind ~"

The old pawn smelled the words, turned around, and saw outside the gate, and suddenly there were large stocks of people and horses in the snow, and the sight was a figure of a man and horse.

The old pawn saw a large elongation on the horizon, followed by the overwhelming iron riding, the earth trembled with the earth, and his face was suddenly full of panic, "Three children, you run, the tirritator has no human nature, and he can't go later."

The old pawn said, picked up a firewood from the fire, limped to light the wolf smoke, he saw the pawns stuck, and suddenly shouted, "Drag the slave, you fool, what to do, still don't run, and then give your uncle revenge."

“Uncle Liu, what about you?”The little pawn is a northern straight man, the Qing army fifth entrance, the family was taken away by the Qing army, their own name was broken slaves, threw the border army of thistle town, surnamed Liu's old pawn is Xiong County people, a small family died in Chongxia nine years Qing army into the kowtow, his son was killed by the Qing army, know the army just into the army to do miscellaneous soldiers, will treat him as a son.

In the wilderness outside the Great Wall, the large shares of the Manchu cavalry appeared in the wind and snow, exuding fierce killing.

Under the banner of the big hull, Manchuan General Abate, was heavily armored, riding on a healthy horse, taking out the thousands of mirrors imported from Portugal, glanced at the yellow cliff mouth in front, and saw the smoke of the Great Wall rolling up one by one, the scene was very spectacular, but he was not at all anxious about it, ignoring the Ming Army's alarm.

"The Guanning army nest in the mountain customs dare not go out to fight, the whole Great Wall along the road, who can stop me from riding the Qinghai iron?"Abatai swung a few times on horseback, played haha, and smiled wildly: "Leaving the Uzhen Chaoha, quickly broke the gate, after the entrance of the army, it will be under the city of Jizhou."

The strength of the eight flags at this time can be said to be the leader of the world, under the world, it is difficult to find the enemy, and the last elite Guanning Iron Rider of the Ming Dynasty can only be second.

Outside the wall, tens of thousands of Qing army according to the flags, listed into several squares, before and after the left and right, the formation is clear, the banner is waving, the cold wind, a silence, only the war horse sounded the nose and the wind roll flag of the hunting sound, the people are not moving.

At the command of Abbatai, the cavalry next to him took the horn down from the waist, and the head sounded to the sky, and the low horn punctured the sky.

A large group of blue man soldiers in the horse raised the flag, said the news, and then turned over and dismounted, each armed with weapons, carrying a simple ladder, it was stormy pressure to Guancheng.

These blue armor are Han Chinese, and the armor still maintains many of the characteristics of the Ming army, but these people have become fully loyal to the Manchu and become a member of the Eight Flags Army.

The eight-flag system is a very strange military system, but its essence is only a bandit group bound by interests.

Manqing wants to maintain this system, relying on the grace to give enough benefits, and the entry and looting is undoubtedly the happiest thing for the flag and the best way to obtain benefits.

These cranial soldiers, no matter how many old and weak women and children are in the gate, how many people will die under the butcher knife, in their view, the people in the gate are lambs to be slaughtered.

On the pier of the Great Wall, the wolf smoke was started by the old pawns, and the alarm bells of "Dangdang" were also sounded by the soldiers.

A hundred officials with a broken arm rushed to lead hundreds of old and weak officers to the closed wall, he looked at the outside of the piece of Tatar, the footsteps suddenly slowed down, but still resolutely walked to the edge of the closed wall, with the remaining hand on the cold wall, looking at the tartar for a moment, and finally calmly said to the soldiers behind: "Deveal!"

On the other hand, the old pawn looked at the approaching Tatar and said to the pawn: "Uncle's leg, it is not far from being chased by the Tatar, you don't care about your uncle, live well, future avenge your uncle, leave a thought to your uncle, we can't die a light."

Li broke the slave of sadness can not be himself, the heart of grief stuck in the throat, instantly tears, he stepped back a lot, until hit the side wall, only suddenly turned around to escape the fire.

“Kill the Tartars!”

Li broke the slave ran down to Guancheng, behind the old pawn desperate roar, he left tears and more than a dozen pawns, together to flee to the south.

Not often, there was cheering on the head of the city, and Li Dulsen's eyes turned his head red to see, and the figure of the blue armored soldiers appeared in the city.

Several old pawns who had just fled the city were shot down by these blue-armed soldiers, and the door was pushed away by the Qing army, and a large number of Qing army cavalry poured out from the door.

Li Bongnu looked back at a clear flag, the Qing army that was hit by the gated party dropped the wall, hit the ground heavily, and his red eyes endured sadness, so that several companions could continue to run south.

Chongchen 15 years, in October, under the leadership of Belle Abatai, Manchu, Mongolian, Han army a total of 12 flags, about 60,000 Qing army, plus tens of thousands of foreign Mongolian soldiers, the total strength of nearly 100,000 people, from the Huang cliff mouth into the customs, in Ji County rendezvous, defeated the Ji County General Army Bai Teng, Ji County fell.

The Qing army immediately divided the army into two ways, all the way to Tongzhou, all the way to kill Tianjin, swept north straight, the official army did not dare to fight.

Beijing City has only martial law, and Daming Xunchen guards nine gates, trapped in Beijing City, waiting for soldiers and horses to support.

For a time, on the plains of North China, a team of Manchuria eight flag cavalry ran across and raised the smoke in the sky.

The villages and cities in the north were trampled by the eight flags, the city was slaughtered, the villages were broken, and the people were only slaughtered and captured in two fates, except for fleeing.

Beijing, in the Bauhinia City Palace, the emperor in his early thirties, was angry and threw the play on the ground, and his chest was violently undulating.

"In one day, sixteen cities will fall, and the soldiers of the great Ming will fall."What about Sun Court?He has not yet gone out, waiting for the establishment of slaves to break Beijing?"The eyes are red and furious.

The emperor of Daming was 16 years old and reigned at the age of sixteen, hard-working for more than ten years, dedicated to his work, and he had to do his duty.

He wants to do some merit more than anyone, but sometimes, by the limitations of his own ability, do more is more wrong.

The situation in the Ming Dynasty was still good, but he worked hard for more than ten years, and the situation became more and more rotten, but he did not know what to say.

There are many external factors, such as natural disasters, but climate change is global in nature, and the same period of time, the same period of the Ottomans, Spain, France also faced the same problem, they did not collapse, then the collapse of the empire, the main reason is its own internal problems.

In addition to the shortcomings of the empire, the emperor ascended to the throne at a young age and did not accept the good imperial learning, which is also one of the reasons.

The ten-year-old should not have borne these responsibilities, but since he was in the position of the emperor and was keen to personally grasp the military and political affairs, he would have taken direct responsibility for the rise and fall of the Great Ming Dynasty.

Of course, letting a person who is not capable of ascending to the throne of God and mastering and exercising the supreme right is itself a defect in the system, and it is also one of the realizations that Dr. Mingsho cried out, "Since Qin, the emperor is a thief."

The hereafter gave the king too much other emotion, watching him work hard, diligently and frugal, and finally martyred, so in order to restore the political position, there is no excessive harshness, but peel away these additional things, Chongchen himself doubt, do not bear responsibility, there are indeed many problems.

In the hall, several officials did not dare to speak with their heads down, and Wu Cai, a university professor, said: "Your Majesty, the court is passing through the gate, and at this time I am afraid that I will not be able to work with the king."

When Sun Chuanqing was released from prison, he made the same mistake as Yuan Chonghuan, literati like to brag about bluffing, and ordinary people know that it would not be too true, but the emperor of Chongchao was different, he hated others to deceive him, so he said to Sun Chuanting that five thousand elite soldiers were enough to sweep away the flow of thieves, believing it was true.

Now he saw Sun Chuanting after coming to Shaanxi, he was slow to send troops to thugs, and from time to time he complained about his sufferings, asking for money, food, and soldiers, so that Chongchen was doubtful.

"Well, I have given him the soldiers and horses, and he has delayed until now, and the army has sent orders to destroy the thief as soon as possible, and then go north to the king."At this time, there was no other way, the Qing army had entered the customs, he could not allow the Qing army to rage in the gate, and he must drive the Qing army out.

Chongchen waved his sleeve and added: "Wasn't Huang's success defeated Zhang Thieves, and the military department immediately ordered him to be transferred too?"
