We sincerely ask for your support from readers.) Su Tiancheng and Hong Chengchou arrived at the outskirts of Shenyang at the same time.  Su Tiancheng led 10,000 soldiers, and Hong Chengchou led 60,000 soldiers. The arrival of these 70,000 soldiers was like a shot in the arm. Lu Xiangsheng, who was fighting fiercely with the Houjin Tatars, suddenly felt confident. Of course, Hong Chengchou came, and Lu Xiangsheng  It was still necessary to be modest and suggested that Hong Chengchou should lead the battle against Shenyang, but the emperor did not adopt this opinion and still asked Lu Xiangsheng to continue to command the battle, but Hong Chengchou participated in the decision-making of major matters.  The power of faith is infinite. When the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp learned that the emperor had arrived in Shenyang, they felt like they had been given a shot of blood. The attack became even more frenzied. That is to say, the day after the emperor arrived at the outskirts of Shenyang, the entire outer city of Shenyang was captured.  Unable to resist, the Houjin Tatars were forced to retreat into the inner city.  Discussions on how to attack the inner city have finally begun.  On the outskirts of Shenyang, Jiangningying Military Camp.  All officers from the Jiangning camp guard commander and above were gathered in the Chinese military tent. This discussion was chaired by Hong Chengchou.  Lu Xiangsheng first put forward his opinion, and he was deeply touched.  "Your Majesty, Lord Hong, everyone, I think that to attack the inner city of Shenyang, artillery must still be used. For such a long time, I have directed the battle to attack the outer city of Shenyang. The price paid by the Jiangning Battalion was heavy, with more than 20,000 casualties.  , although it is said that tens of thousands of Houjin Tatars were wiped out and the outer city was occupied, the inner city was even more tightly defended. I initially estimated that there were still more than 50,000 Houjin Tatars stationed in the inner city.  The Tatars are the last force that Hou Jin can rely on. If we adopt the tactics of forceful attack, it will definitely cause greater casualties. " Lu Xiangsheng paused for a moment as he said this.  "The emperor once said that if too many civilians were massacred because of the war, I am afraid that it would trigger a crusade in the history books. However, I believe that the inner city is mainly populated by Manchu nobles, including Huang Taiji and others. There are very few Han people, and because Shenyang is outside  In the battle of the city, the Houjin Tatars strictly cleaned up the inner city, and the Han people were basically driven out. Under such circumstances, the Houjin Tatars would be unable to resist if they used artillery, and the Jiangning Battalion could reduce a lot of casualties.  . . ¡± While Lu Xiangsheng was still stating his reasons, many officers nodded.  Just as Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, Ma Xianglin spoke next.  "Your Majesty, Lord Hong, my subordinates agree with the commander's suggestion. I personally commanded the battle to attack the outer city, which caused heavy casualties to the soldiers. I deeply blame myself. After the battle, I will ask for punishment. If I attack  In the inner city, artillery cannot be used, which will inevitably cause heavy casualties.¡±  .  .  The discussion is ongoing.  Almost everyone favored the use of artillery.  If artillery is really used, the inner city cannot be saved at all. With more than a thousand artillery firing at the inner city, no matter what it is, it will be difficult to preserve, not to mention the Houjin Tatars in the inner city have no place to escape.  Apart from being attacked by artillery, I can't think of any good way to avoid it, including Huang Taiji.  Su Tiancheng does not necessarily disagree with the use of artillery, but he thinks that this kind of bombing method, which is close to massacre, is always inappropriate. After all, the Houjin Tatars have become at the end of their war effort and there is no hope.  Hong Chengchou, who presided over the meeting, also agreed with the use of artillery in his heart, but he would not express his opinion for the time being, but looked at the emperor. Such important matters were ultimately made by the emperor.  Su Tiancheng looked at everyone and finally spoke.  "Master Lu is the commander-in-chief of this battle. Many of you have directly participated in the battle and fighting. Ordinarily, I should agree with your opinions. After all, you commanded the battle and have the real say in how to attack and whether to use artillery.  , Your opinions should prevail, but I still have other opinions. " "I am here to talk about the fighting situation in Haizhou, Fushun and other places. Master Hong led the army to capture Haizhou, Yaozhou, Liaoyang and other places.  , wiped out all the Hou Jin Tatars, Sun Chuanting and He Renlong led an army of 70,000, captured Fushun, wiped out the 20,000 Hou Jin Tatars stationed in Fushun, and killed the commander Sony. More importantly, Hao Hao  Ge committed suicide. The army led by Tan Tai to reinforce Fushun was surrounded by heavy siege and could not escape. Sun Chuanting wrote a memorial. He did not need the reinforcement of the army and was confident that he could completely wipe out the reinforcements led by Tan Tai.  Well, as for Obai who was stationed in Tieling, he only had 5,000 men under his command. He also suffered casualties in the process of reinforcing Fushun. It is almost impossible to persevere. " "The battle on the grassland is basically over.  The largest tribe, the Horqin tribe, has surrendered after suffering a devastating blow., some small groups of tribes that were fleeing in all directions could no longer form an effective force. Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong had already submitted a report and were preparing to set up a government office in the Horqin tribe's residence.  " "Everyone who knows these situations can understand that the Houjin Tatars have completely failed. Once the fighting in Shenyang City ends, the Houjin Tatars will be completely destroyed.  " "It's not easy. Decades have passed. Starting from the Wanli period of the previous dynasty, the Jurchens began to rise. Later, they established the Qing Dynasty, but they were eventually wiped out.  " "My idea is to use artillery, but don't conduct a full-scale bombardment for the time being. Use artillery to shock the Houjin Tatars in the inner city. The next step is to ask the Houjin Tatars to surrender. You can send one person to report the situation in Haizhou, Fushun and other places.  , including the fate of Hauge, Sony, etc., tell Huang Taiji everything and let him make a choice. I can conclude that Huang Taiji will be fatally hit if he learns this, and the combat effectiveness of Houjin Tatar will be greatly weakened.  "Hong Chengchou secretly sighed, the emperor is the emperor, and he sees far-reaching things. Such a cruel battle will take a long time to heal. The heavy casualties of the Jiangning camp soldiers mean that many families are falling into grief. If they continue to fight fiercely, what will happen?  I don¡¯t know how many soldiers will die. The opinions were quickly unified. When Liu Jingting and Yan Yingyuan came to the palace, many Manchu nobles chose to remain silent.  According to the news, the city of Fushun was taken, and all the families of these Manchu nobles were captured. Under such circumstances, they no longer had the courage to be tough. Everyone was afraid of the fate of losing their descendants. Chongzheng Palace.  , many Manchu dignitaries were here. Liu Jingting was not polite and talked eloquently. He told all the situations in Fushun, Haizhou, Liaoyang and other places, including the deaths of Hauge, Sony and others, including those led by Tan Tai.  The sergeants have been heavily surrounded and so on. It is very quiet in Chongzheng Hall. No one speaks, everyone is listening to Liu Jingting's story. Everyone understands that all this is true. In fact, they have already obtained it from rumors.  When a certain amount of information arrived, Huang Taiji's face turned pale and he almost lost the power to speak. Everything he had painstakingly designed was in vain. What Liu Jingting and Yan Yingyuan said was correct. If Jiangning Camp's thousand cannons started,  After bombardment, the inner city of Shenyang will be in ruins, and there is no possibility of defending the inner city. No matter how brave the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners are, even if the Jiangning Battalion adopts a defensive strategy, the inner city will not be able to  The Jin Dynasty had great strength, but the Qing Dynasty was in collapse and could no longer support it. Jierhalang, who had participated in many negotiations, also did not speak out tough words. The situation was already like this.  If we choose to resist, tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 people will eventually die. The Manchus will suffer a heavy blow or even be completely wiped out. But if they want to surrender immediately, no one will agree to this choice.  Yes, after all, there were more than 60,000 soldiers in the inner city. After Liu Jingting and Yan Yingyuan entered the inner city, Lu Xiangsheng ordered the artillery to carry out bombardment within a specified range. Several houses were destroyed in an instant.  Turned into ashes and completely disappeared. The morale of the Manchu Banner and the Han Banner has dropped to freezing point. They all know the situation outside. The outer city is surrounded by 150,000 Jiangning Battalion soldiers, whose strength is almost equal to their three.  times, and had sharp artillery. Under such circumstances, resistance would mean death. The only places occupied by the Qing Dynasty were the inner city of Shenyang, Zhenbeiguan and other places. Once the Jiangning Battalion launched a full-scale attack, these  The place could not be defended, and the stubborn resistance finally brought a more severe blow. Huang Taiji had to make up his mind. Azige, the king of Yingwu County, led some Manchus to assassinate Liu Jingting and Yan Yingyuan.  The whereabouts were exposed, and the sergeants guarding Guanyi had to resist, which led to a fight between the Manchus. In the end, Azig was captured alive and brought to Chongzheng Hall.  Huang Taiji didn't know how to deal with it, but many Manchu nobles expressed great anger at Azig's behavior. They believed that such behavior insulted the dignity of the Manchu people and must be severely punished. The implication is that  It means beheading.  Azig knew that he could not escape this disaster, and finally committed suicide in the prison.  The painful Huang Taiji finally could no longer hold on. If he continued to resist, the losses would be even greater.  Huang Taiji finally agreed to surrender, an unconditional surrender.  Liu Jingting and Yan Yingyuan, on behalf of the Jin Dynasty, promised not to massacre and that all Houjin Tatars who were willing to surrender could save their lives. Some brave soldiers and even?In order to be incorporated into the Jiangning camp.  On the fifth day of July in the fifth year of the Jin Dynasty, Huang Taiji officially announced the surrender of the Qing Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, canceled the Qing Dynasty's national title, and all places under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty were brought under the jurisdiction of the Jin Dynasty.  On the sixth day of July, Huang Taiji, wearing white plain clothes, led all the Manchu dignitaries, opened the gate of the inner city, stood at the gate of the city, and welcomed the Jiangning camp soldiers into the inner city. As for the remaining 60,000 Manchu Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners  All the soldiers left the inner city and gathered at the Jiangning Camp temporary military camp on the outskirts of Shenyang, waiting for reorganization.  (To be continued)
