Chapter 42 If You Were King


After all, the few cannot defeat the many, and the weak cannot defeat the strong.

At dawn, the sentry sent an urgent report, and Li Zicheng's soldiers began to gather, preparing to attack the city again.

The sound of attack outside the city never subsided overnight.

33-year-old Wu Sangui was physically and mentally exhausted, reaching the limits of his physical and mental capacity.

……

……

It's almost dawn...

There will be more troops to support Liming's attack.

Before sending out troops, Li Zicheng once swallowed thousands of miles, and uttered a bold statement, "Wu Sangui has three thousand soldiers, and I have 30 soldiers. If 100 people catch one person, he can be kicked down with the tip of a boot!" The spies have already reported this to him. listened.

"When Shanhaiguan is captured, I will return to Beijing and ascend the throne!" Li Zicheng also said these words.

You killed my emperor, destroyed my court, tortured my father, and abused my wife.If you are king, I will stop you with my life.

Presumably, this is probably the most sincere voice of Wu Sangui who was humiliated and helpless at that time.

……

Time is ticking.Can't wait any longer.If you wait any longer, you will lose to Li Zicheng completely.Wu Sangui summoned a hundred men who dared to die overnight and broke out.The sound of artillery fire kept ringing in his ears, and he galloped to Dorgon's tent with his flying horse.He came to call for help. "Invite soldiers to kill Li Zicheng!"

Dorgon is a shrewd person, and he was not dazed when he heard such impulsive words, but asked: "What is your ultimate purpose when you come to find me?" Wu Sangui said frankly: "Don't hurt my people! Don't invade my emperor's mausoleum! Visit the place where the prince and the second prince of the East Palace are located, and set up Nanjing, with the Yellow River as the boundary, connecting the north and the south. According to my words, and vigorously attacking the thieves, I will take Beijing and return it to you!"

"So, if we disagree and insist on your surrender?"

"Wait for death, please fight."

As a result, the alliance between Dorgon and Wu Sangui was formally established.At present, the two parties killed a white horse to sacrifice to the sky, slaughtered a black cow to sacrifice to the ground, cut off their clothes and broke their arrows, made an alliance with blood, and made an oath that they would never betray.After the ceremony was over, Wu Sangui led his entourage and ran all the way to Shanhaiguan, and issued an order:

"The guard listens to the order, the city gates are open—what!"

If there is really no power to destroy a city, then the best way is to wait for the opportunity and let its owner open the city gate for you.Dorgon cast a meaningful glance at the beautiful Central Plains through the wide open door, and then waved to the mighty Qing soldiers behind him.

For a time, King Azig of England led [-] cavalry and entered through the north water gate; Yu king Duoduo led [-] cavalry and entered through the south water gate.Dorgon led the main force of more than [-] cavalry to the rear and entered through the middle gate.

The large army is mighty, with no head or tail.

At this time, Wu Sangui still didn't know what kind of wolfish ambitions the iron cavalry rolling in had.

In fact, I have just made it very clear.The heaviest price he expected was to draw the river with the Qing Dynasty.This is the bottom line, really is the bottom line.

However, from the moment the rolling cavalry flew through the closed door, history seemed to have free will, and all the accidents and misfortunes were programmed by itself.

However, the order to open Shanhaiguan was the culprit of all these misfortunes.

The passing water of time overflowed from this node and rolled forward until people shouted the slogan of "expel the Tartars and restore China" and invited the Manchus out of the pass again. It has been a long 260 years.

In the seven years of 260, every minute and every second was difficult for Wu Sangui.

Opening the closed gate of Shanhaiguan was the starting point of all the crimes and mistakes in his life.For this reason, he was sentenced to 260 seven years of capital punishment, and was condemned by people thousands of times.However, this is still not enough. The uproarious criticism, spurning, and scolding did not stop here, but continued for more than 100 years... until the day I opened the dusty ancient book in the library: So, I Standing by the old wooden bookshelf, he gently opened the book.

His physical body has long been turned into flying smoke under the pressure of time and space.

But his name is still firmly stuck on the title page of the history book, becoming a synonym for the indelible "traitor"...
