On June 17th, both sides of the road outside Shengjing City were filled with kneeling people. wwㄟw..
On the road, the Manchu men were slowly walking south with complicated ceremonial guards. Behind the ceremonial guards were the civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty, and behind them were the Qing Dynasty's Baylors riding on large horses.
Dorgon was also in the long line of honor guards. However, he had been a little depressed recently and had been unable to lift his spirits.
The impact of the battle at Green Mountain Pass on Dorgon had not subsided. In the past, when Dorgon encountered enemies, he could often defeat them with strength. If his strength was not enough, he could use strategy to disintegrate them and take a roundabout approach. From his first expedition at the age of 16 until now, Dorgon had never suffered a single defeat before the battle at Qingshan Pass.
However, at the entrance of Green Mountain, Dorgon lost miserably to Lin Feng's absolute power. In front of Li Zhi's strength, Dorgon's strength seemed so small, and his so-called strategy seemed so pale. Lin Feng was like a huge rock rolling down a steep mountain. Nothing could stop him, and he smashed into Dorgon.
After returning to Shengjing, Dorgon had been a little quiet and depressed for the past few months. It wasn't because of the Emperor's scolding, nor was it because Huang Taiji had demoted his Prince to a Regional King. It was because Duo Ergun had been beaten senseless by Lin Feng, and his past arrogance had vanished into thin air.
Every time he thought of the 70,000 soldiers charging at the small stronghold, the corpses of the Qing Dynasty warriors in front of the stronghold, and the bloody battlefield, Dorgon felt a chill run down his spine. Lin Feng's upright and impeccable strength made Dorgon feel like his willpower was about to collapse.
At that time, he was in a hurry to come out of seclusion on the battlefield, so he didn't feel anything. After leaving the battlefield and thinking for a while, Dorgon felt a sense of powerlessness. If he met Lin Feng again on the battlefield, the only thing he could do was run away.
With such a powerful general in the Ming Country, how could the Qing Dynasty conquer the Central Plains? The best outcome would be to defend Liaodong with all their might, right? The more Dorgon thought about it, the more disheartened he became. His every move was weak, and he was no longer the heroic " Mergen Daiqing " of the past.
Behind Dorgon was a tall golden umbrella. Huang Taiji's six carriages were under the umbrella. Huang Taiji looked at the depressed Dorgon and shook his head.
This Dorgon was too conceited and couldn't take setbacks. After the battle at Green Mountain Pass, Dorgon had become demoralized and lost his former vigor. Although Huang Taiji had always been wary of this resourceful 14th brother, worried that he would threaten the arrangement of Hauge's eldest son to ascend the throne, Huang Taiji also cherished talent and did not want to see Dorgon so depressed.
However, no one could help Dorgon recover.
Beside Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji's eldest son, Hauge, followed on horseback. Although Hauge had encouraged Dorgon to attack the stronghold several times at the mouth of the Green Mountain, Huang Taiji did not deal with Hauge after he returned. Huang Taiji used the reason that Hauge was only a deputy general to push all the responsibility to Dorgon, who was the general. Although the Baylors were a little dissatisfied with this arrangement, no one did it.
Huang Taiji had no other choice. He wanted to let Hauge take the throne behind him, so he could only do this.
Because Haug wasn't punished, he was still full of ambition these days. He wasn't discouraged or disappointed by the defeat at Green Mountain Pass.
At this moment, he looked at the gorgeous ceremonial guards in front and behind him and could not help but ask,"Your Majesty, regarding the inspection of the new recruits of the Han army, just call the new recruits to the palace city to inspect them. Why send so many Baylors to the Han army flag?”
Huang Taiji looked at his son and said,"Hao Ge, do you know the current situation of the Qing Dynasty?”
"After plundering the capital area of the Ming Kingdom, the Eight Banners Manchurians lost more than ten thousand soldiers. At present, there are only more than 50,000 soldiers left in the Manchurian flag of the Eight Banners, and their power has been damaged.”
Huang Taiji nodded and asked,"How can our Qing Dynasty succeed?"
Haug was stunned. He thought for a moment and said,""Using riding and archery to achieve success!"
Huang Taiji shook his head and said,"Riding and archery is the end. You only see the power of riding and archery, just like the depressed Dorgon."”
After a pause, Huang Taiji said,"The reason why our Qing Dynasty could rise up and stand between the white mountains and black waters is because of the power to control." Because we were able to control the troops and deal with everything properly, we were able to make the troops work together against the outside world. That was why we became strong and unified the Jurchen tribes. Because we can control the Jurchen tribes, we can conquer Mongolia and North Korea.”
"Without me, Dajin, before the Qing Dynasty, the Jurchen were still fishermen and hunters who could be bullied by anyone. If it wasn't for our Great Jin and Great Qing's ability to control, would the Jurchen have today's prestige?”
"Now that the Qing Dynasty has lost more than ten thousand soldiers, many Baylors feel that they are unable to fight anymore. This is the conclusion they came up with after neglecting the essentials. As long as our Qing Dynasty still has the ability to control them, even if more than ten thousand soldiers die, we are still the Qing Dynasty.”
"With this power, we can control the Han people?" asked Hao Ge after some thought. Seize the world of the Han people?"
Huang Taiji looked at Haug with satisfaction and nodded."That's right. All these years, I have painstakingly recruited Ming generals, plundered the population of the Ming country, and imitated the Ming system to set up hundreds of officials. This is to spread the ability of my Qing Dynasty to the Ming people. In the future, even if our Qing Dynasty no longer uses riding and archery and uses Han to rule Han, we can still make the Ming army tremble in fear and make the Ming people bring their families over!”
Haug thought for a moment and didn't speak.
Huang Taiji continued,"This time, we robbed more than 200,000 Han people. This is an opportunity." I will organize the Han army into two new Han army flags and properly manage them. As long as we control them properly, these Han people will be our helpers in the future.”
"Riding and archery is just the appearance. The ability to control is the foundation of our Qing Dynasty. To personally inspect the training of these Han soldiers shows the importance our Qing Dynasty places on those who surrender, and also the means to control them.”
Hearing his father's abstract and detailed teachings, Haug nodded his head in understanding.
The large group of honor guards slowly advanced, passing through the endless blacksmith shop outside Shengjing City, and arrived at the Yamen of the Han Army with two yellow flags.
The 200,000 or so Han people that they plundered were incorporated into the Han army flag by Huang Taiji. Therefore, the Han army's flag expanded once again, from two flags to four flags. Now, there were two yellow, two white, two red, and two blue flags. Most of the captured Han were put into two yellow flags and two red flags.
The two yellow banners of the Han army, Gushan Ezhen Ma Guangyuan, and the two red banners, Gushan Ezhen Wang Shixuan, led the Han generals to kneel on both sides of the road for a long time, waiting for Huang Taiji to arrive.
Huang Taiji's six carriages stopped beside the two kneeling Han officials. The two Han officials led hundreds of Han generals to kowtow to the ground and shouted,"This servant greets the emperor!"
"Long live the emperor!”
