Wu Sangui's army broke through Tongguan on the ninth day of June.
Wang Jinbao killed Bilong in order to protect himself, so that Li Guoying jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away, so he had no choice but to fall to Wu Sangui.
Knowing that Li Guoying was anyway, Wu Sangui, who had always been hesitant to advance eastward, was overjoyed, and immediately sent his second son-in-law Hu Guozhu, generals Guo Zhuangtu, Ma Bao and the fierce general Wang Pingfan to lead 60,000 elite soldiers to attack Tongguan.
Li Guoying concealed the death of Kubilong, and the generals of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia stationed in Tongguan were actually kept in the dark.
On the seventh night of the first month of May, Wang Pingfan, a fierce general of the Wu army, led 400 dead soldiers to climb Jiajinling and sneak to the Twelve Liancheng, and after paying more than 60 lives, Wang Pingfan successfully climbed the dangerous pass of Jiajinling.
Wang Jinbao, who was stationed in the mother city of the Twelve Liancheng, saw the signal that Wang Pingfan had successfully infiltrated, and immediately opened and closed Wang Pingfan to enter the city, and then pretended to be a Qing army, took Li Guoying's warrant to deceive the forbidden ditch, and sneaked to Tongguan at night.
On the side of Tongguan, Li Guoying had already asked his cronies and generals to open the gate, and the eight banners of Manmeng in his sleep were disturbed by the Wu army who broke into the gate, and it was in the dark.
In addition, these Manmeng Eight Banners all fled back from Guiyang with Doni and Luo Keduo, and fled to Tongguan in Xi'an like lost dogs, and the Manmeng pride in their bones has long been gone, and they have only become frightened birds.
Therefore, when they heard the shouts and killings outside, most of the Manchu and Mongolian Qing troops chose to abandon the pass and escape.
Only Ai Xing'a led the troops and the Wu army to fight to the death, and later died in the chaos.
After the loss of Tongguan, Guo Zhuangtu and Ma Bao led the army to persuade the rest of the Qing army in the twelve cities, and seeing that the general trend had gone, the Qing army surrendered one after another, and more than 7,000 troops were surrendered.
The most unfortunate Qing army was a green flag battalion from Shanxi, which arrived at Tongguan for only a few days, and all the generals and ordinary soldiers became prisoners.
After Wu's army captured Tongguan without much effort, Wu Sangui immediately ordered his second son-in-law Hu Guozhu and Wang Pingfan to lead 20,000 troops as the vanguard to attack Henan.
Jia Hanfu, the governor of Henan stationed in Kaifeng, was shocked by the loss of Tongguan, and at the same time hurried to Beijing to report urgently, and at the same time ordered the various units that resisted the loyal battalion in southern Henan to rush back to Kaifeng to ensure that the provincial capital was not lost.
After Hu Guozhu and Wang Pingfan led the army into Henan, the counties of western Henan were almost without a fight, and all the Wu army went to open the door anyway, and the place where they did not arrive was also ready to move, and some official gentry secretly wrenched their braids early, and ordered people to prepare wine and meat, just waiting for the Wu army to arrive, they opened the door to greet them, and sent people to help the army of the Yongli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Within half a month of entering Henan, Hu Guozhu's department expanded to more than 30,000 people.
This situation is in stark contrast to the sworn resistance of the southern Henan gentry to the loyal camp.
The situation in Henan is precarious, and the Central Plains is critical In Beijing, Shunzhi has not been to the court for three days, and the condition of his beloved concubine Dong E is getting more and more serious.
The imperial doctors said that I am afraid that the imperial concubine will not be able to survive this month.
After returning to the Qianqing Palace from Dong E, Shunzhi sat there in a daze, and the eunuchs did not dare to come forward to disturb the emperor.
But when the Minister of the Interior, Sony, led a few ministers to the outside of the hall, the chief eunuch Zhao Quan still cautiously entered the hall and knelt down to play: "Long live the lord, Lord Sony, the great Huashi of the Wuying Palace, Hu Shi'an, and the secretary of the military department, Itu, ask to see." ” Shunzhi looked at Zhao Quan absentmindedly, ignoring it, as if he hadn't heard.
Zhao Quan didn't see the Long Live Lord's instructions, he didn't dare to get up, and he didn't dare to raise his head, so he had to bow again and raise his voice slightly.
"Xuan into the temple."
Shunzhi finally waved his hand.
Zhao Quan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly led the three ministers in.
Sonny looked preoccupied, Hu Shi'an had a dark cloud, only Itu didn't seem to change his normal, but his slightly trembling fingers showed that he was trying to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.
The three of them finished kneeling.
Shunzhi asked them all to get up, and when he saw Sony's ugly face, he couldn't help but ask him: "What's the urgency, you have to enter the palace so late" Sonny glanced at Hu Shi'an and Itu, and stepped forward and said: "Master, Henan Governor Jia Hanfu is in a hurry, and Tongguan is lost."
"What" There was a scream in Shunzhi's ears, and his face suddenly lost his blood.
In order to hide the panic in his heart, he "snapped", slammed his palm on the table, and asked the three of them in a loud voice: "Didn't Curb Bilong go to Tongguan, Ma Leji came back and said that Wu Sangui didn't have the heart to go east, why did Tongguan lose it in a blink of an eye, what the hell is going on?"
Sonny snorted: "According to Jahan's excerpt, the army was defeated and killed, and the defenders of Tongguan only fled back to more than 6,000 people."
"Suppilon is dead" Shunzhi's body shook and he couldn't believe his ears.
Hu Shi'an touched the emperor's gaze and was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore.
Itu tried to calm himself down, and said: "Your Majesty, Tongguan has been lost, and now Wu Sangui's army has invaded Henan, Jia Hanfu only has more than 10,000 green flag battalions in his hands, and there are only 4,000 Han troops under Shi Huashan, even counting the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers who retreated from Tongguan, Henan's military strength is only 20,000, but the Wu army has tens of thousands, and there are more robbers in southern Henan, such as Li Laiheng and Hao Shaoqi.
All Jia Hanfu can do now is to trap Kaifeng, if Kaifeng is lost again, the whole province of Henan will be lost.
Henan is a dangerous place in the Central Plains, and it must not fall into the hands of Wu Sangui, please make a decision as soon as possible."
Shunzhi was stunned for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice: "Send the Eight Banners to reinforce Kaifeng."
Hearing this, Sonny was stunned and said, "Master, the Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade have just been reorganized, and now they are urgently transferred, but I am afraid that the whip will not be able to reach them."
In addition, if the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners are forbidden to move south, and the important land of Qi Fu, there will be no soldiers and horses to defend. ” Sony's concern is precisely the biggest problem facing the Qing Dynasty now, that is, there are no soldiers to send.
Prince Jian Jidu in Guangdong, Luo Tuo in Guangxi, Guan Allegiance in Zhenjiang, Yue Le in Nanjing, Shunzhi in Yangzhou, and Doni in Yunnan's Mopan Mountain, these several big battles, the loss of the Eight Banners of Manmeng is amazing, now in the city of Beijing, even the Eight Banners of Shengjing from outside Shangguan, the Eight Banners of Manchu are only more than 30,000.
Although there are more than 10,000 Han troops and more than 4,000 green battalions in the Eight Banners of Manchuria, these people have not yet been able to adapt to the time they have been carrying into Manzhou, and they have not yet adapted to it, so they hurriedly transferred south to Henan to resist Wu Sangui, but they are afraid that they will be too reluctant.
According to Sony's original intention, the matter of raising the flag is still going on, and after half a year, the number of Han troops and green flag battalions planned to be carried into Manchuria is 50,000, so with the real Manchurian and Mongolian army flags, the Qing Dynasty can only have a mobile group of 100,000 people available, although it still can't change the current disadvantage, but at least whether it is to resist the thief Xiucai or Wu Sangui, there is the power to fight back.
But the premise of the success of this matter is not only that Manchu does not reject the Han people in the banner, but also that the thief Xiucai and Wu Sangui can give the Qing Dynasty a breathing time to complete this important event.
On the thief Xiucai's side, the peace negotiation has been completed, although the matter of negotiating peace will be more beneficial to the thief Xiucai in the long run, because the other party occupies the southeast money and grain land, and he needs more time to digest the fat in his mouth than the Qing Dynasty.
The first-class thief Xiucai digested the southeast, and it was bound to go north, and at that time, in the face of the thief Xiucai, who was not short of money and food, the trouble of the Qing Dynasty was even greater.
