"Is the Qing Dynasty invincible?"

"Perhaps that's really the case."

During the Song Dynasty, many emperors agreed with this statement.

Although they did not know the Qing Dynasty, they knew the Liao people, the Jin people, and even the Mongol Yuan Dynasty.

In their view, the Qing Dynasty was perhaps just like these people.

On the main battlefield, if a winner and loser were to be determined, winning would indeed be extremely difficult.

It was for this reason that, after several setbacks, they turned to seeking peace.

Whether we win or lose, or whether the fight is close or not.

All the civil and military officials in the court were thinking about nothing but negotiating peace.

After all, in their minds, the Song Dynasty was at its strongest in terms of military power, but Emperor Taizong still lost the battle against the Liao people.

If they were no match for us back then, they would only become more and more invincible in the future.

Even if you can gain some advantage at the beginning, you will still lose in the end.

This is the bloody lesson that Emperor Taizong left them.

"Therefore, Your Majesty, our decision to negotiate peace with the Jurchens is the most correct one!"

"It reduced the casualties of the soldiers and won peace for the people for so many years!"

"We have all rendered meritorious service to the nation, and His Majesty will be remembered for eternity!"

This scene was almost always playing out in the Song Dynasty court throughout various eras.

They were praising their own emperor and the words Qianlong had just spoken.

Since the start of the challenge, while Emperor Qianlong has been criticizing all the dynasties in the sky, only the Song Dynasty has remained the most silent.

"Yes, is that so?"

"That's what I think too."

"However, my only concern is that the ancestral precepts established by Emperor Taizu stipulated that the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun must be recovered."

"Isn't your behavior somewhat incongruous with mine?"

Will he be angry?

Every Song emperor who supported peace talks harbored the same concerns.

The officials below all harbored resentment.

Will you get angry?

This shouldn't really be considered a question, since Zhao Kuangyin had been cursing for quite a while on the sky.

The insults were quite vulgar.

He not only criticized Emperor Qianlong, but also dragged in the criticisms of later emperors who negotiated peace and submitted to him.

Fortunately, they were able to console themselves.

"His Majesty the Great Ancestor will surely understand us, after all, we are only negotiating peace with the Liao people."

"Yes, we are doing this for the people; it's just a trivial matter of making peace."

"And then there were others who submitted to the Liao people."

"Later on, there were still people who recognized Jin as their parents."

"That's right. If His Majesty the Great Ancestor could have foreseen the future, he certainly wouldn't have blamed us."

"After all, we have done everything we can to preserve the dignity of the Song Dynasty!"

Little did they know that their self-comforting images also occupied a small part of the sky at that moment.

The canopy is like a source of amusement; wherever there is fun, it will be fully displayed.

Zhao Kuangyin was just cursing Qianlong and those spineless sycophants.

He soon saw that the emperors of his Song Dynasty in later generations were all spineless cowards, just like he had described.

And while they are spineless, they can also find some high-sounding excuses for themselves.

If he could be locked up with these emperors from later generations at this moment, he would surely smash their heads one by one with his dragon-patterned staff!

"You had better pray that the immortals' inventory doesn't end in a chaotic war, otherwise I will make you understand what it means to pacify the internal before resisting external aggression!"

"And you, Zhao Kuangyi, I know that killing you will not change the existence of your dynasty."

"But you must remember this: the weakness of the Song Dynasty began with you. Given the chance, I will grind you to dust!"

These scenes made Zhao Kuangyin grit his teeth, wishing he could cross the sky.

Otherwise, he would definitely smash their heads one by one in front of countless people from all dynasties!

"Stop using the so-called invincibility of the Qing Dynasty to beautify the fact that you are spineless. Open your eyes and look at the sky."

"Everything that is happening now proves that the so-called invincible Qing Dynasty is nothing but a joke."

Old Zhu suddenly spoke up at this moment.

Then everyone refocused their attention on the canopy itself.

In the scene, Liu Bang's original supporting role has become the main attacker.

Although he did not possess Xiang Yu's bravery, he had the same courage.

He lacked the ability to capture enemy generals and seize their flags, yet he could inspire his soldiers to fight to the death for him.

"Dorgon, you were able to annihilate your Qing army once before, and you can annihilate it a second time!"

"Don't think you're someone important just because you defeated Li Zicheng. In my eyes, you're nothing!"

Liu Bang charged ahead, and more than ten of his personal guards couldn't catch up.

When Dorgon saw that familiar face on the front lines, he was momentarily intimidated.

He recognized it.

When the Qing army first entered the pass, this man led one of the two groups of soldiers who raided the camp!

Although they were not as brave as the other army, they were all like reckless brutes who didn't care about their lives.

These people caught up with us so quickly!

If they truly hated the Manchus, shouldn't they have turned their attention to the area beyond the Great Wall after cleaning up the battlefield?

Why are you so persistent in pursuing him?

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's those soldiers!"

"Do you think that person came too?"

"Why don't we retreat? We have plenty of food and supplies, and our troops are strong and well-equipped. We can hold our own wherever we go!"

"Yes, as long as we don't encounter that monster, Your Highness, we'll go wherever you point!"

Not only was Dorgon panicked, but his elite Qing troops were even more panicked.

Dorgon only caught a glimpse of Xiang Yu's valiant figure from afar.

Some of them were deeply moved by what they saw up close.

The figure who shattered the shield with a single halberd made them feel that no matter what they held, they would be doomed to die if they faced him.

war?

After that battle, that option was no longer on their minds.

You either flee or surrender.

With their current strong and well-equipped forces, surrender is naturally not an option for them.

But if they were to escape, how and where to escape would be a decision for Dorgon to make.

Hearing the people around him admitting defeat one after another, Dorgon was actually a little scared.

He led over 100,000 elite Qing troops, yet they nearly failed to escape from those people.

Even though he has gathered a lot of Li Zicheng's surrendered soldiers, he still only has about 60,000 to 70,000 troops who are truly capable of fighting.

Most of them were still Li Zicheng's ragtag Shun army.

With such an army, can we really fight a battle?

He was reluctant to back out.

The Forbidden City is right in front of us. If we can go in and loot it, then all the previous losses can be ignored!

He knew exactly how wealthy the people in the Forbidden City were!

"Do you think it's possible that the monster isn't in the army?"

"If that monster isn't here, and I, the king, am scared away with you all, not only will we make a fool of ourselves, but we'll also miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"This Forbidden City contains countless treasures, and an innumerable number of women and slaves!"

"As long as you can enter the city, even a royal woman, I will still bestow upon you as a reward!"
