While Zhu Cixuan was busy in the capital, Shanhai Pass was not peaceful.
Qi Jiguang led the 100,000 Yulin Royal Guards to the west of Shanhai Pass, in front of Xiluo City Gate.
Shanhai Pass was known as the world's strongest pass during the Qing Dynasty.
It covered an area of 192 square kilometers.
In this square city, there were seven castles connected to each other, forming the situation of "Five Tigers Suppressing the East".
Shanhai Pass had a special geographical location, so it was naturally heavily guarded.
However, this strict security was relative.
The eastern side facing the enemy, the side facing the Tartars, was the main point of defense.
At the west gate of Xiluo, there were only 2000 elite soldiers guarding it.
The arrival of the 100,000 soldiers shocked the defenders of the pass.
"Oh no, could it be the Tartars?”
"That shouldn't be. How did the Tartars in the east bypass Shanhaiguan and attack from the west?”
" Someone, hurry up and inform the commander…"
The guards on the city tower were already panicking.
However, they were the Guanlin Cavalry that had guarded the border for many years, so they would not be in a panic.
When the 100,000 cavalrymen were 500 meters below the city gate tower, Qi Jiguang commanded the army to stop.
As the thick smoke dispersed, the guards on the city tower immediately shouted,""Who is under the city? Report your name!"
"I am the Dingyuan General appointed by the Emperor of Xindu. This time, I will lead the army to take over the defense of Shanhai Pass. Quickly open the city gates and let me in!”
As he said that, Qi Jiguang raised the transfer order and commander's seal in his hand high and let the soldiers beside him send it up for inspection.
After a while, the results came out.
This was indeed the transfer order personally written by the Emperor of Xindu, who had just ascended the throne. It was even stamped with the imperial seal!
" Switch, release…"
The commandant of the defending army immediately gave the order.
After all, the world was still in a state of chaos!
The other party had the emperor's order. How could a small commandant like him dare to stop them?
Although he was Wu Sangui's trusted subordinate, he did not dare to hesitate at this moment when the army was pressing down on him.
There were only 2000 guards at Xiluo's city gates, while the other side had 100,000!
If he dared to refuse, the 100,000-strong army would break through in an instant, and he would be charged with disobeying the imperial edict.
The commandant was a smart man and quickly made his decision.
The gates of Xiluo opened with a rumble.
The 100,000 Yulin Royal Guards entered Shanhai Pass valiantly.
At this moment, he was patrolling the military situation at the "First Pass in the World" tower of the Shanhaiguan main city building. When he received the news from the rear, 100,000 Yulin Royal Guards had already entered the city.
"This Emperor of Xindu is so swift and decisive?”
"Men, hurry up and prepare the carriage. I want to return to the residence!”
Wu Sangui panicked!
Yesterday, Dorgon had sent him a letter to persuade him to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
In his hesitation, he forgot to destroy the letter…
What should he do?
If Wan Youyi was discovered by the general who had entered the city, he wouldn't be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River!
It was still fine if the other party did not enter the pass. He could still rely on the natural barrier of Shanhai Pass to keep the other party out.
But now, the other party had actually entered the city…
"Chen Zhan has harmed me quite a bit. Why didn't he delay it for a while?”
Right now, Wu Sangui wanted nothing more than to hack Xiluo City's garrison commandant Chen Zhan into a thousand pieces!
By the time he rushed back to his residence, the entire residence had already been surrounded by the Yulin Royal Guards.
"By the will of the heavens, the Emperor has issued an edict: Liaodong General, pacifying the Western Earl Wu Sangui, has committed treason. Shanhaiguan defense was handed over to Dingyuan General Qi Jiguang! Respect this!"
After Qi Jiguang finished reading the imperial edict, he looked at Wu Sangui with a mocking expression and continued,"Ping Xibo, receive the decree!"
While Qi Jiguang was speaking, the hundreds of Yulin Royal Guards behind him had already gripped their weapons tightly. They looked as if they would immediately attack and suppress him if there was any disagreement.
This imperial edict was obviously prepared long ago. Where was the conclusive evidence?
Wu Sangui was a traitor in history.
He led the Qing army into the pass and cooperated with the Tartars to suppress the Nanming regime. Later, he supported the army in the southwest and became one of the three vassals, giving Kangxi a headache.
Surrendering to the Qing army had not only caused him to lose his national integrity, but it had also caused the Han family to fall into an abyss of suffering. The Three Massacres of Jiading, the Ten Days Massacre of Yangzhou…
Such a traitor, why would they need conclusive evidence to kill him?
Therefore, Zhu Cixuan had already drafted an imperial edict and even asked Qi Jiguang to be prepared to forcefully break through!
Zhu Cixuan would not be at ease if this traitor did not die.
If he were to be recruited, perhaps one day, this kind of rebellious person would stab him in the back.
Wu Sangui was born in a military family and was good at riding and shooting. He was a martial arts juren in Chongzhen years.
He is the son of Wu Xiang, the commander of Jinzhou, and his grandfather is the nephew of Wu Dashou.
During the late Ming Dynasty, he was one of the top generals! He had military talent, but he didn't do what humans did!
If he had not refused to send troops at Shanhaiguan when Li Zicheng entered the capital, Li Zicheng might not have been able to take the capital.
Eat the king's salary, not loyal to the king's work.
This was the first crime!
The Great Shun Dynasty established by Li Zicheng had once issued an edict to recruit him. He did not join forces with the Han to counterattack the Qing army, but instead became a lackey of the Qing army.
This was heartless!
Although it was said in history that he did not submit to Li Zicheng because Li Zicheng had kidnapped his father, Wu Xiang, to threaten him, he hated Li Zicheng because Li Zicheng had kidnapped his concubine, Chen Yuanyuan, and refused to ally with him.
Because of a woman, he did not care about his father's safety and refused to accept amnesty.
For the sake of a concubine, she disregarded her father's safety…
"Rage for a beauty" sounded nice, but in fact, it was unfilial!
Such a disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust traitor deserved to die!
There was no need for evidence to kill him!
