  Chapter 577 574 [Manchu Qing moved the capital? 】

  Shenyang, Political Conference.

  Owners of the Eight Banners, only Daishan, Dorgon, and Mandahai remained, plus a little emperor, Shunzhi.

  The nobles of the Eight Banners also suffered heavy casualties.

  Even the ministers of state affairs were nearly half dead. At the Manchu Qing Dynasty meeting at this moment, the scene was full of new faces, and many young people were temporarily promoted.

  The little emperor sits on the throne, and the big jade is behind the curtain.

  Da Yuer's voice came out slowly: "Continuous battles, repeated defeats, Liaodong and Liaoxi, lost cities and lands. Whose fault is this?"

Nurhachi's nephew, Xihan, came out and glared at Dorgon, saying, "Haoge urged us to send troops to fight, and Dorgon agreed immediately. The two of them, regardless of our objections, insisted on drawing a large army to enter the customs. If the Eight Banners warriors are not drawn Let's go, how can southern Liaoning be lost? If the warriors of the Eight Banners are not taken away, how can the battle of Yaozhou be defeated? Emperor Taizu said, let him come a few ways, and I will go all the way. Dorgon and Haoge, but want to Divide the army into two groups, and send the Eight Banners Army to garrison each city. Isn’t this a violation of Taizu’s teachings? Haoge is dead, but Dorgon is still alive, so Dorgon should be punished for his crime!”

  Dorgon has no expression on his face. He has been under house arrest for more than a month, and he knows that it is time to announce the result of the disposal today.

Minister of State Sukesaha came out and said: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I want to impeach Dorgon. The first crime is falsely calling the emperor's father the regent, and directly calling your majesty the little emperor; the second crime is that when he was still in Beijing, Whenever the army went out, he forced the civil and military ministers to kneel down to send them off; the third crime was that Dorgon got out of the sedan chair after passing the Meridian Gate when he was in court in Beijing; All according to the rules of the Son of Heaven..."

"Shut up!"

  Dorgon was furious, and shouted at Sukesaha: "Even if I did these things, you shouldn't report them!"

  Sukesaha held his head high and held his chest high: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone can punish them. I am just doing my duty as a minister."

  The court hall was silent, only these two people were arguing.

  Sukesaha is Dorgon's confidant and was promoted by Dorgon. Now it was him who gave Dorgon a fatal blow.

  Da Yuer asked Dai Shan: "Prince Li, there are so many crimes, how should we deal with them?"

  Daishan bowed his head and said: "But it's up to the Queen Mother to decide."

  Da Yuer asked again: "What suggestions do you ministers have?"

  Leng Sengji came out and said: "You should take away your title, demote you to common people, and confiscate your family property and cattle records."

   This person came from the Yehenala clan, and had been the head of the Shunzhi Emperor's bodyguard, and was promoted by Dayuer to be a minister and earl. What he said represented Dayuer's wishes.

  As soon as Leng Sengji's voice fell, court civil and military officials all echoed.

   In this regard, Dorgon was demoted to a commoner, and all his property and cattle records were confiscated.

  After dealing with Dorgon, Daishan said: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, the most urgent task is to reorganize the Eight Banners, and quickly build armor and weapons."

   "Prince Li is right." Da Yuer expressed his appreciation.

  Now, only Zhenghongqi of Daishan has not suffered much loss. Although Man Dahai is alive, there are not many soldiers left in the red flag. The father and son can be regarded as a major force second only to the imperial power.

  Dorgon brought back many rout soldiers and bannermen. Since they were confiscated, of course they should be ruled by the emperor.

  Daishan was ordered to preside over the reorganization of the Eight Banners. After reorganization and reorganization, he barely compiled 23,000 troops, which was probably the strength of the previous three banners. But there are only half of the soldiers with complete armor and perfect weapons, and the food is almost gone.

  Liaoyang City is still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, but the villages and towns outside the city are all controlled by peasant rebels.

  Thousands of Tartars were trapped in the city and dared not go out at all. Once they go out of the town to suppress the peasant army, the Datong army will show up at any time, and Liaoyang City will be captured in minutes.

  The villages and towns around Shenyang also began to have peasant uprisings.

  …

  Liaoyang.

  Just after the rainy season, Li Zheng led troops here, and a large number of peasant soldiers spontaneously helped to become civilian husbands.

  Liaoyang city guard general, Husai, the youngest son of Daishan, was only 18 years old, and started fighting with the army at the age of 15. He has now been named the Duke of Zhen.

  Although Husai was flustered, he arranged the city defense in an orderly manner.

   It's just that the military rations are too small, and they can eat for another two months by looting the people in the city. If after two months, they still cannot get supplementary military rations, then they will have to eat people.

  There is a lot of grain outside the city. The wheat has begun to ear, and it will flower and pollinate in a few days.

  The wheat originally belonged to the Manchu and Han landlords, but now it has become the spoils of war of the Datong army. The Datong Army has sent people to reorganize the peasant army, and all of them have been organized into peasant soldiers. At the same time, they are also forming peasant associations in the countryside to distribute land to peasants.

  After the wheat in the field is harvested, 40% will be handed over to the Datong Army, and 60% will be distributed to the farmers by the Datong Army.

  The moat outside the city was finally gradually filled.

  A part of the city wall, Zhuoli Ketu said: "Father, we have to find a way to dedicate the city. I heard that all our tribes were captured by the Han army. The Jurchen didn't even have food, so how did they win?"

   "I'm ready, you sneak out of the city tonight." Shanba said.

  Shanba is the leader of the remnant tribe of Wuliangha Mongols. He was attached to Houjin more than ten years ago and was named the Duke of Zhen Guo ten years ago. Their tribal territory was in Fuxin City hundreds of years later, and the cavalry battle between Wang Tingchen and Haoge also broke out near there.

   After cleaning up Haoge, Wang Tingchen smoothly pacified the Mongolian tribe there.

  Shanba and his son followed Dorgon to defeat in Yaozhou. At this time, they not only lost their horses, but even their soldiers were only about 200 people left. There was a shortage of food in the city, and their hometown was taken away. How could they have the heart to help the Tartars defend the city?

  At night, Shanba quietly took out the rope and let his followers watch the wind, tied his son by the waist and hung him down to the city.

   "What are you doing?" Suddenly someone scolded.

   But the chief general, Husai, was always worried about the Mongols, and asked his cronies to monitor the city walls garrisoned by the Mongols at any time.

  Shanba was shocked when he heard the words, drew his sword and shouted: "Don't worry about it anymore, the warriors of Lejin in Mongolia have captured Liaoyang and dedicated it to the Han army. When the time comes, I will take you home!"

   Zhuoli Ketu, who was hanged from the city wall, quickly untied the rope and ran towards the moat. He was going to the Datong Army to ask for reinforcements.

  Shanba led more than two hundred Mongols and fought towards the city tower with all his strength, wanting to go down and open the city wall.

   "Mongolian Lejin rebelled!" Manchurian soldiers shouted warning.

  Ombu Chuhuer, who was stationed at the other end of the city wall, was terrified when he heard the shout. This guy is the great-grandson of Dayan Khan, and Zu Dashou was captured for the first time, which was his great contribution. His tribe is located next door to Shamba, that is, Beipiao City hundreds of years later.

   Moreover, the tribes of the two people are both regarded as Mongolian Lejin people.

  Ombu Chuhuer's tribe was also wiped out by Wang Tingchen. But before that, it was robbed by Hauge's troops to collect food, weapons and armor.

  Ombu Chuhuer and his soldiers didn't want to stick to Liaoyang for a long time. They were looking forward to going home early to see what was going on there. The Manchurian soldiers yelled "Mongolia Lejin", and finally strengthened Ombu Chuhuer's determination to rebel, and immediately led his troops to kill the nearby Qing army.

  The shouts of killing on the two city walls shook the sky, and a group of Han army banner soldiers in the north of the city simply started to rebel.

   "The Southern Manzi has entered the city! The Southern Manzi has entered the city!"

  Someone suddenly shouted in the city, but it was Datong's secret agent lurking here, and finally found a chance to create even greater chaos.

  Husai led his own soldiers to kill Shanba, shouting along the way: "Don't panic, don't panic, each guards the city wall!"

  However, the defenders in the city have long been frightened, and they all know that the army rations are running out.

  To the east of the city, there was actually a group of Eight Banners Army, who opened the city gate and fled directly. Their hometown is in the mountains outside the Great Wall of Liao, and now they just want to go back to their hometown to fish and hunt, and they don't want to fight to the death with the Datong army.

   "Bang bang bang bang!"

  This is the firearms unit compiled and trained by Daishan, led by Husai to defend Liaoyang City, firing guns at the rebellious Mongols at this moment.

  Sanba, who took the lead in the incident, was shot to death by random shots because he charged ahead.

  After quelling the Shanba rebellion, Husai went to suppress Ombu Chuhuer again. But the latter was very clever, and instead of continuing to attack the Qing army, he led his troops into the streets and alleys of the city, calling for the Nanmanzi to enter the city along the way, wanting to completely disrupt the city.

   "My lord, the gates of the East City are all open, and many Eight Banners warriors are fleeing!"

  Husai was stunned when he heard the words, looked at the mess of the city defense, and said angrily: "This place can't be defended, follow me back to Shengjing!"

  The defender of the city, Husai, even left the city wall, and fled with his own soldiers to abandon the city.

  Datong Barracks.

   Zhuoli Ketu knelt on the ground and cried: "General, please send troops quickly, or my father will die if it is later!"

  Li Zheng was already dispatching troops, and when the Datong army left the camp, Liaoyang City had long been in chaos. The dragoons rushed out of the city quickly, only to see a large number of Qing troops abandoning the city and fleeing. In this case, there was no need to attack the city, and they just rode horses to chase and kill the defeated soldiers.

  Manchu Qing only had more than 20,000 troops left in total, Liaoyang City accounted for a quarter, and weapons and armor accounted for half.

  Who would have expected that it would collapse without a single battle.

  About two thousand Tatars managed to escape, but they did not flee to Shenyang, but fled directly back to their respective hometowns.

"Father!"

   Zhuoli Ketu found his father's body and lay there crying.

  Li Zheng pouted, thinking he deserved it.

  These Mongolian Lejin people had taken refuge in Houjin very early on, and every time they entered the customs and plundered, they had their share. I don’t know how many Han people’s blood was on their hands.

  …

Shenyang.

  Daishan looked at the youngest son who had fled back, trembling all over: "You, you... thousands of troops guarding the city, why did you lose Liaoyang so quickly?"

Hu Sai is a person who has learned Chinese culture, and he can use idioms: "Father, the soldiers are already frightened. Whenever there is trouble, they will not dare to fight, and they will open the city gates and flee. If Liaoyang is like this, I am afraid that Shengjing is similar. .Shengjing can’t be defended, let’s move the capital back to Hetuala.”

   Move the capital?

  Daishan actually thought about this issue carefully. The loss of Liaoyang City brought him a great shock.

  Because the loss was so inexplicable, it was obvious that the soldiers had no heart to fight. If the Datong army attacked Shenyang, would they also fall in a daze?

  The next day, Dai Shan had an audience with Dayuer: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, please move the capital!"
