Chapter 459: Entering the Capital

Prince Li Daishan had several sons among the Qing royal family, and his lineage was the most prosperous, but Dorgon did not hand over the army to his son, but instead handed over to his eldest grandson. This is Dorgon's political maturity.

If it is handed over to Prince Li Daishan's son, it means that the army has left and right, and Dorgon has no actual control at all.

But what if it is handed over to his eldest grandson, the army is nominally under the management of Prince Li Daishan. However, his eldest grandson is not old and some things must be relied on these uncles in the army, and control is not left behind.

At that time, Dorgon could reach in, which was equivalent to killing two birds with one stone.

Speaking of his contributions to the Qing Dynasty, Prince Li Daishan did have a lot of them, but because he was a little confused with Dorgon's mother at the time, he was disliked by Nurhaci.

Otherwise, the throne would not have fallen into other people's homes. It is precisely because of this that his lineage basically has no idea about the throne.

So whether Dorgon is in power or Haoge is in power, it is the same for Prince Li Daishan. It is also quite good to be able to bring out these troops now.

Dorgon also admired this elder brother very much. At least when the Qing Dynasty was on the decline, he was not like other princes, but he used his own practical actions to maintain the Qing Dynasty.

In addition, Dorgon also understood that Prince Li Daishan had always been a centrist before, and he neither offended Dorgon nor Haoge. At the same time, his relationship with Prince Zheng was pretty good.

This means that this guy is a tumbler, but handing over these troops now means that the team is standing on Dorgon's side.

Prince Li also realized at this time that if Haoge was put in power, I am afraid that the entire Qing Dynasty would have nothing to do with, and it would have been destroyed at any time.

Dorgon's talent is pretty good, and Prince Li discovered another thing, that is, Dorgon had some conscience, much stronger than Haoge, and was not that selfish.

When facing the entire Qing Dynasty, it was relatively fair to do things. At this moment, Prince Li's side was also a huge support for Dorgon.

The strategy of the Qing Dynasty will be further modified. According to Dorgon's original idea, the Mongolian cavalry has also come, and Haoge's army can come back in some ways.

Then everyone united and fought the Nanming army near the capital, and they might not be able to defeat them. In addition, the muskets we made may still have a certain chance of winning.

All the people think so, and they also think they still have a chance to win, but now the news has been dispersed, so many people in Haoge cannot come back, don’t think that the people in the capital are fools, and now everyone is panic.

Thinking that Haoge abandoned them, many people know that Haoge's subordinates have good combat power. Now that there are no people under Haoge, how should we defend the capital?

Dorgon also knew that it was impossible to defend the capital city to the death now. Without the army under Haoge, they did have the ability to fight, but if there was a slight mistake, the entire Qing Dynasty would be destroyed here and he had to find a way to retreat.

After the Mongolian army arrived in Qi, Dorgon taunted his words in many places and wanted to fight to the death with the Southern Ming army.

But he was just a landlady. Apart from saying that he would fight to the death, his men were not idle. They were gathering all the troops and various wealth around the capital. They did not see that they were going to fight to the death, but instead saw that they were going to run away.

Tongzhou Daying.

The Qing Dynasty set up a cavalry and infantry army of Gongwei's capital here, but now the camp has long been captured by Hu Qiang.

"Report to the General, we have found out that the several camps that were originally confronting our army were all empty this morning. They should have retreated very much in the middle of the night yesterday. Except for not removing the tent, the inside was already empty."

Li Yunbao, deputy general under Hu Qiang, said.

This man was also from the imperial guards and was considered an old man in the army, but he was far behind Wang Quankun. This guy didn't have much military achievements, so until now, he was just a deputy general, even a combat adviser in the army.

Of course, it also has something to do with the people he is with. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's Northern Expedition, most of Hu Qiang's men have been guarding the four towns in Jiangbei and have not found any opportunity to fight. Now, only trapping the capital is their opportunity.

"Send troops to suppress me immediately, use the forces of three infantry regiments to occupy their barracks, and send scouts at the same time. We must pay attention to the situation around the capital. No matter which road Dorgon takes, we cannot let them leave smoothly. At the same time, we order the entire army to be on guard. As long as Dorgon finds something, we will immediately encircle the capital."

Hu Qiang also issued an order at this moment. Before, he was worried that if he forced too much, Dorgon might burn the capital.

Everyone knows the importance of the capital. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still waiting to ascend the throne here. If he is burned out by Dorgon and others, he will not be able to bear this responsibility.

"The last general takes the order."

With Hu Qiang's order, tens of thousands of troops in the Tongzhou camp also began to operate. Since His Royal Highness's Northern Expedition, until now, no army has been able to compare with Hu Qiang's army. These people just gave the Qing Dynasty a final blow, and all the troops were drawn out were elite troops.

Half an hour later, all the troops were ready for battle. All the Qing army camps near the Tongzhou camp had been occupied. Hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled people had all retreated to the vicinity of the capital.

Hundreds of artillery pieces also began to be placed in established locations, which was also the most powerful artillery unit of this era.

There are 1,200 Armstrong field guns alone.

In addition, there are more than 1,100 crossbows.

Just looking at these artillery soldiers, let alone taking over the capital, if they throw this army into Europe, it would be no problem to sweep the entire Europe.

Dorgon thought that his retreat in the middle of the night would not attract the attention of the Ming army.
