Chapter 125 (7) Mass immigration of 500,000 people

Even calling the Zhongqian Institute, Zhonghou Institute, and Qiantunwei three cities made Wu Sangui a small boat in the vast ocean. The more Dorgon thought about it, the more fun it became, and he was so excited that he even woke up from sleep with a smile. Just laughing happily, a spy came to report: Report, Wu Sangui commanded 500,000 soldiers and civilians, went on the road starry night, abandoned Ningyuan City, and all emigrated. Nonsense, Dorgon said angrily: How many people did we die just to capture Ningyuan City?Wu Sangui is also a granite head, stubborn, how could he give up Ningyuan City.

Yet it is true. The report of the price of running water will come up, Wu Sangui really gave up Ningyuan, and moved to Shanhaiguan with 500,000 soldiers and civilians. Why? Dorgon was puzzled. No reason, because Li Zicheng is heading for Beijing. Daming is in a hurry. Li Zicheng destroyed the city and the village all the way, and made great strides towards the city of Beijing.Emperor Chongzhen convened countless imperial meetings, and finally decided to confer Wu Sangui as Ping Xibo. Pinsib? Wu Sangui is in Ningyuan, in Liaodong, he should be named Ping Liaobo, Pingbeibo, how can he be named Pingxibo?

Because to the west is Li Zicheng. The great eunuch Xie Wenju galloped into Ningyuan in the starry night without stopping, and Wu Sangui received the order. Under the imperial decree, give up Ningyuan, don't want it anymore, and take it away if the Qing soldiers want it. Wu Sangui immediately returned to the army to face Li Zicheng. no.Wu Sangui flatly refused. Why not? Because my home is in Ningyuan, and the homes of all my soldiers are in Ningyuan.Wu Sangui replied: Over the years, we have fought bloody battles with the Qing soldiers countless times. Although it is said that the soldiers are on the battlefield, it is actually all the people in Ningyuan City who participated in the battle against the Qing soldiers. The blood feud between Ningyuan City and the Qing soldiers is already irresolvable.If I leave them behind, not only my soldiers will not agree, even if we agree, it means that we will watch our family members and our brothers and sisters being massacred by the Qing soldiers.

Emperor Chongzhen was also aware of this matter.So the minister Xingye was sent to urge all the people in Ningyuan to move. At this time, Wu Sangui had 30,000 elite soldiers, 70,000 Liao people who were good at fighting, and thousands of cavalry who had experienced battles. impossible. All of a sudden, in Ningyuan City, chickens and dogs are flying, and half a million people are rushing to tell each other: thunder, rain, clothes, who's diapers, put them away quickly... A broken house is worth ten thousand yuan, and when you talk about moving, There were so many things that they were reluctant to leave behind. The family packed up countless large and small bags, and it took them ten days to pack up before leaving the city in such a mighty way.

Ningyuan City, the Liaodong outpost that Daming had painstakingly managed for two hundred years, was just abandoned. Along the way, the people, women howling, babies crying, old people choking, children screaming, the roads are crowded with people, and they can’t walk. They hurried away for a day, and then they just left. Fifty miles. Maybe he should be like Yuan Chonghuan, leaving the people behind and galloping to the capital. In fact, the Qing soldiers didn't chase after him, and let the half a million people cry and walk forward slowly.If at this time Wu Sangui left the people behind and rushed to the capital... If the Qing soldiers suddenly came out, who would protect the soldiers' parents, wives and children for Wu Sangui?

At this time, if Ningyuan soldiers abandon the people to rescue the capital, there will only be one result. When he arrived in the capital, Wu Sangui must have been alone.Even if someone wants to let the soldiers leave their parents, wives and children in terrible danger, the soldiers will not agree to you. Rescuing soldiers is like fighting a fire. If there is a fire to save on your side, the danger here is also the same, so you can only walk slowly. From Ningyuan to Shanhaiguan, the cavalry rushed wildly, and they could reach it in a day and a night. But it took five days for 500,000 women and children to walk. This speed is already very astonishing.

When we arrived at Shanhaiguan, we resettled the family first, but it was still a chaotic mess. At this time, Li Zicheng's vanguard had already entered Changping.
