The only time the Shi Pavilion Department went to the Central Plains was to mediate the infighting between the two armies of the Southern Ming Dynasty.He reached Suizhou and Xuzhou in the east of Henan.At this time, even the subordinates who came with him looked at the empty Guancheng everywhere, and knew that the opportunity could not be lost, and the time would not come again, and persuaded him to take the opportunity to restore the Central Plains in the north.However, the staff advanced, "Persuade him to cross the river and return to Shandong, but he will not listen; persuaded him to go west to regain Henan, but he did not listen; persuaded him to stay in Xuzhou for Hebei Wang, but he didn't listen. ”Regarding Shi Kefa's disregard for the fall of North China, the people of the time had a poetic saying: "The righteous men of the two rivers are discouraged, and they cry and climb the prince." ”In this way, Shi Kefa lost the best strategic opportunity, and "effectively" cooperated with the Qing army, allowing the Qing army to deal with Li Zicheng with all its might.At the beginning of January 1645, the Battle of Tongguan began, and thirteen days later, Tongguan, the gateway to Xi'an, was lost.In February, Wang Shuo withdrew to the northwest, and the Qing army occupied Xi'an, the capital of Dashun.At that time, some people in the Nanming regime had already seen that "although it is gratifying to be defeated, it is really terrifying." ”It's a pity that they are all humble people, and for these people, Lord Shi of the Cabinet Department is too lazy to pay attention to them.Opportunity is like that, fleeting.If you don't take the opportunity, your opponent won't necessarily let you go.After several battles in the Central Plains, Dolgon had already seen the incompetence of the Nanming regime, which was as good as Chongzhen's court; Compared to Yuan Chonghuan, that Shi Pavilion is not even worthy of lifting shoes for him Since you are so easy to bully, why don't I destroy you Dolgon is not a good person, and he is a discerning and very smart military strategist, he will not be merciful and not grasp the opportunity to leave time for Nanming to turn the book.In April 1645, the Qing army freed up its energy and began to clean up the Southern Ming regime.Soon, Duoduo led a large army into the four towns of Jiangbei and surrounded Yangzhou.In fact, in the game of the Great Shun, the Qing Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Southern Ming regime occupied an absolute advantage in human and material resources, and the national strength was the strongest.It is only said that the area south of the Huai River, which was controlled by the Southern Ming, was a densely populated and economically developed area, and had not suffered the scourge of Li Zicheng's war, and was the richest place.The production of this place alone is higher than the total output of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Dashun so powerful, it stands to reason that defeating the Manchu Qing Dynasty and recovering the Central Plains is very promising.Master Shi's mind can already be seen very clearly, he just wants to passively shrink on the defensive, and he is just a couple in the south of the Yangtze River, and he doesn't have any idea of recovering the Central Plains at all Speaking of this, what kind of courtier Shi Kefa is already very clear.But what's worse is that Shi Kefa is also a literati, and he doesn't know how to govern the army, how to establish his own majesty, and blend the army and the generals together to form a unified force.He commanded the generals with civil servants, and had no means, courage and courage.When there was a contradiction between the four general soldiers, they only tried their best to deal with and mediate in all aspects, and they could neither twist them into a rope nor check and balance each other, but could only maintain superficial harmony.Therefore, Shi Kefa could not command the four general troops at all.In this situation, the Qing army attacked, how to resist Duoduo all the way to the ground, the Ming army looked at the wind and surrendered, there was no decent resistance at all, it was really chilling to think about the face of Duoduo's heavy troops, Shi Kefa was in chaos, and he actually fired three arrows in one day, inconsistent, none of which could be executed.What is even more serious is that he has no authority as a supervisor on weekdays, and his practice of compromising and being weak to the generals of the army has made the local guards have no military discipline and are emboldened.In the face of the Qing army, these guys dared to flee without resistance, and even surrendered directly to the Qing army to help the Qing army attack their own commander.In the first battle of Yangzhou, later the Qing army counted that the surrender of the Southern Ming Dynasty 23 soldiers, 47 deputy generals, and nearly 240,000 horse infantry troops, far exceeding the original number of the Qing army.Since you refuse to surrender and the enemy is attacking the city, you are resisting, but how to resist, this Lord Shi Kube has no idea, he can't fight.The subordinates saw that this can be done if you surrender and not surrender, fight and not fight, don't you look for death, we are going to follow you and die like this, this is also wronged, we have to surrender Listen to the subordinates to surrender, the Cabinet Department replied: "If you want to be rich, please go your own way." ”It's all to this juncture, or there is no majesty at all, this is a matter of life and death, and the rich have a half-dime relationship, who dares to say that surrender and kill anyone is stronger than this scholar, when the country is really mistaken and Shi Kefa guarded Yangzhou City, because of the transfer of troops, surrender and desertion, the personnel are already very few, at most there are 4,000 people, the artillery has not been set up, basically no effective resistance has been organized, it is estimated that it has not resisted for half a day, Yangzhou City was captured.The battle of Yangzhou was not at all as mentioned in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and after ten days of effective resistance, Duoduo was enraged and ordered to slaughter the city for ten days.That's the Manchus making a reason for the slaughter of the city, it's pure nonsense, don't believe it.Before and after the Manchu occupation of Yangzhou, what happened before and after the Japanese devils occupied Nanjing, it was almost exactly the same.The massacre is the embodiment of the aggressor's atrocities and the quality of the soldiers, and has nothing to do with whether it resists or not, and no high-sounding reason can cover up the aggressor's atrocities and crimes.Shi Kefa was killed after being captured, and he was also willing to die with Liu Zhaoji, the general soldier of Yangzhou, and Ren Minyu, the prefect.After Duoduo invaded Yangzhou, he ordered the city to be slaughtered.From May 20 onwards, it was the "10 days of Yangzhou", and some estimates estimated that the number of people slaughtered was "more than 800,000".It's a bit of an exaggeration, but it will never be less than the number of people in the Nanjing Massacre created by the devils, and countless women have been ravaged.On June 16, the Qing army arrived in Nanjing, and Zhu Yousong, the Hongguang Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, fled, and the rest of the people surrendered.Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong once again fully demonstrated his unrivaled escape skills in Henan, decisively abandoned Nanjing, and infiltrated Huang Degong's army.The Son of Heaven guards the country and goes to him, it is enough to have the first emperor Chongzhen as a fool, of course I still have to save my life.The fall of Nanjing, what does it mean that the last bit of hope of the Ming Dynasty is gone, and the Marquis of Jingnan Huang Degong is in despair, so he makes the last fight and sends troops to meet the Qing army, and is shot by the Qing army's secret arrow into the throat and dies.His subordinates were not as loyal and patriotic as Huang Hou Ye, and when they saw Huang Hou Ye die, they immediately hijacked Emperor Hongguang and surrendered to Duoduo.Marquis Huang of Jingnan can be said to be blind at this time, and his enthusiasm for serving the country has been sprinkled all over the land he loves, and the sad Marquis Huang is strong:
