"Did Dorgon agree?"
"Your Majesty, that Dorgon agreed to come and see Your Majesty, but he didn't agree to come to Ningyuan City. He suggested that we meet somewhere between Lianshan and Ningyuan City, such as at the foot of Dragonback Mountain. Then, both sides can bring a thousand soldiers there.”
Old Wang said.
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!”
Feng Yuanyang said.
Then, he said.
He was firmly opposed to borrowing troops. It was obvious that he understood what it meant to let the Qing army enter the pass. However, the Emperor was too deeply bewitched by Wang Yongji and the others. In addition, he was blinded by hatred, so he persisted. He had been working hard for the past two days, but he still did not change the Emperor's mind. And this time, Dorgon was probably up to no good. The two of them each brought 1,000 soldiers. How could the 1,000 Ming soldiers fight against the 1,000 Qing soldiers? If Dorgon suddenly seized the Emperor and threatened him, what other choice would he have other than to use the Ningyu Road to enter the pass? If he was allowed to pass through Ningyuan, with the tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers near Shanhaiguan, how could the Shanhaiguan garrison resist Li Zicheng's threat? If they borrowed troops and forced the Qing army to go to Miyun or Zunhua Road, there was still a little hope, but if the Qing army entered Shanhaiguan, then the Ming Dynasty was really finished!
Even if it was the Southern Song Dynasty at best.
"I will treat him with sincerity, and he will not let me down!”
Then, the Emperor's hand suddenly appeared on the back of his head. The newly appointed Minister of Justice, Feng Cifu, fainted without hesitation. Then, Li Daoxuan waved his hand. Lao Wang quickly brought a few soldiers to carry him away. Cao Youyi and Huang Fei looked at this scene in a daze. They looked at Li Yutian and the others who did not take it seriously at all. It was obvious that they still did not understand such a simple trap. Why did these people have a relaxed expression and did not have any intention of dissuading the Emperor?
"Your Majesty, it's not a big deal to bring a thousand soldiers with you, but we still have to be careful of Dorgon's ambush at Dragonback Mountain.”
Li Yutian said.
Li Daoxuan said righteously,""Regardless of whether Dorgon has other intentions, this is our only chance to borrow troops. I'm afraid that the rebels have already begun to move north. The bloody battle at Shanhaiguan is already ongoing. For the sake of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, it's worth it even if I have to take the risk. However, Feng Qing's worries are not without reason. Those Tartar bandits have wild ambitions no different from Qin beasts. We can't expect them to keep their word. I'm afraid our Ning Yuan will also have a bloody battle!”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Tartars didn't take down Ningyuan before, so we won't let them succeed.”
Li Yutian said.
Huang Fei finally couldn't help but say carefully.
In his opinion, a thousand Ming soldiers could not even be considered as food for a thousand Qing soldiers. According to his past experience, even ten thousand against a thousand was very dangerous. Even the Emperor, these people were purely child's play. If the Emperor brought a thousand people, it would be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.
"Brother Huang, you're worrying too much. It's just a thousand Tartars, and our Emperor alone could kill a thousand Tartars, let alone this time with a thousand soldiers.”
Tang Yu said with a smile.
Then, everyone, including Li Daoxuan, burst into laughter. Li Yutian seemed to be in deep thought when he laughed, but it was only for a moment.
Then, the rest would be easy to handle.
In fact, they had been a little suspicious of the Emperor before. After all, he had dealt with the Qing army too harshly. It seemed that they could not live under the same sky. Although it was necessary to seize Ning Yuan, it was a little too much to hang his head on the city wall and pierce him with a flagpole. However, now that they thought about it, they had worried too much. It was normal for the Emperor to be angry again when he suddenly suffered such a disaster. Although Beijing was broken through by Li Zicheng, everyone understood that if it was not for the Qing army causing trouble outside the pass, How could Li Zicheng have such a day?
In short, now that their doubts had been dispelled, not to mention the Shanhaiguan officials, even the landowners and old men were very happy.
There was still no movement. They were having a good time beating up the local tycoons. From top to bottom, they were in a state of ecstasy. Originally, it took him a month to reach Shanhaiguan. Although it was because of Wu Sangui's bluff, he was also very slow. After all, when these poor bastards took over Beijing, the city was filled with gold, silver, jewelry, and beautiful women. Even if he had this awareness, he still couldn't bring himself to do so! Even if Li Zicheng wanted to send troops, those generals and soldiers who were hugging their fair and tender wives would not do so. With fish, meat, wine, delicacies, and beautiful women in their arms, who the f * ck was so bored that they would risk their lives on the battlefield?
On the Ming army's side, everything had sped up because of Li Daoxuan's appearance, including the time when Dorgon received the news that Li Zicheng had captured Beijing.
Therefore, Yuan Shun's army has not yet left Beijing.
In fact, the battle of Shanhaiguan in the original history was very inexplicable. Considering the intensity of the Manchu Literature Prison and the official history that was written like a novel, it was likely that none of the later versions of what happened in Shanhaiguan in 1644 were true. At least so far, there was no sign of Li Zicheng attacking Shanhaiguan. During this period of time, the Shun army did not even have a bumper harvest. Therefore, Li Daoxuan could rest assured and solve the problem of the Qing army first.
On the ninth day of April, Li Daoxuan left Ningyuan.
"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty steps on this bridge, I will die for you!”
Feng Yuan Yang, who had not given up, had somehow managed to get past the soldiers and was now leaning against the wall of the Weiyuan Gate.
"Wait for me to come back before you jump!"
Li Daoxuan shouted at him speechlessly.
"Uh, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Then, Lord Feng was dragged away by the soldiers.
Of course, Li Daoxuan wasn't completely unprepared. Before this, the Ming army's scouts had already been sent out to carry out a strict reconnaissance around Dragonback Mountain. This was originally an agreement with Dorgon. Both sides had released their mutual reconnaissance in this area to show mutual trust, and the results of the reconnaissance showed that there were indeed no ambushes. In addition, just in case, before Li Daoxuan led a thousand cavalrymen out of the city, Tang Yu's five thousand infantrymen had left the city and lined up on Shou Mountain. Huang Fei led the army and the Dragon Martial Battalion from Shanhaiguan to the north. A total of five thousand navy troops were on warships to reinforce them at any time. Li Daoxuan and Dorgon would meet in the wilderness to the west of Dragonback Mountain. As long as they sent out the alarm with a rocket, both Tang Yu on Shoushan and Huang Fei on Lianshan Bay would be able to see them.
Basically, this could ensure that there was no danger.
Li Daoxuan didn't care about the 1,000 Qing troops. He had to be wary of the Qing troops in Lianshan. The latter were all cavalrymen. They could reach the meeting point in 20 minutes at most.
"Let's go!"
Li Daoxuan urged his horse.
He, Li Yutian, Old Wang, Deputy General Chen, and a thousand cavalrymen immediately crossed the suspension bridge over the moat.
At this time, he was wearing a brand new large dragon robe. Inside was cotton armor and a layer of chain mail. The pair of iconic spiked clubs were carried by two Jinyiwei for him, and another Jinyiwei carried the giant bow removed from the bed crossbow for him. Now that the emperor went out to carry weapons for him, there were a lot of people. He even found someone to order a pair of beloved Huntie Zhua for him. In addition, he also had a steel horse pole. He was focused on developing according to Li Cunxiao, but it was not finished yet.
The group left the city and headed north, soon arriving at Tang Yu's infantry formation.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live my Emperor!”
The 5,000 infantrymen knelt down and shouted.
Li Daoxuan was obviously very satisfied with the mental state of these 5,000 infantrymen. Many of them had participated in the great battle outside Ningyuan City, and their admiration for the Emperor came from the bottom of their hearts. No matter what they were like before, as a group of professional soldiers, they also worshipped heroes. The Emperor who had single-handedly defeated the Qing army and used a miraculous force to lead them to an incredible victory was undoubtedly their absolute hero and their most trustworthy commander.
Not to mention that this commander could summon food and immortal medicine out of thin air.
It could be said that these 5,000 soldiers were no weaker than the Eight Banners Army in terms of morale. They were only lacking in terms of physical fitness, but they could guarantee victory against the same number of Eight Banners Han soldiers.
"Get up!"
Li Daoxuan said.
"It's fine if my trip goes smoothly, but if the Tartars have wild ambitions, you will be my steel wall. I want you to let them know that the land of Hua Xia and the mountains and rivers of the Han people are not something that the Hu can covet.”
Then, he said.
"Honorable decree!"
Five thousand voices shouted at the same time.
"If my Great Ming's soldiers were all like this, how could they cause the capital to fall?”
Li Yutian couldn't help but sigh as he felt the imposing manner of these 5,000 soldiers.
"If the capital hadn't fallen, how would Zhen know that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to kill all the civil and military officials in the court! I would like to thank this intruder. Without him, I would still be in a dream!”
Li Daoxuan sneered.
Then, he urged his horse forward!
