Chapter 1089 – Home in Danger
The sudden loss of Shanhai Pass was a huge hit to the face for the Qing Dynasty.
"How did this happen?"
They had just endured the pain and gave up on the territory in the north. Now, they had lost their only way toward their old land.
With the matter developing to such a stage, there were finally officials who raised their doubts, "Giving up cities and not bothering about the lives of a large number of our people only to start up internal problems in the Southern Alliance Army. Was that worth it?"
"Was the price a little too large?"
Shanhai Pass could be called the last line of defense in the hearts of the Manchu people. With Shanhai Pass there, they felt confident that even if they lost in Zhongyuan, they could back off and rise up again.
The moment Shanhai Pass was lost, the Qing Dynasty had no way out.
Hence, the fall of Shanhai Pass had a huge psychological impact on the Qing Dynasty.
