On the third day of February, Shengjing City.
Since the wild boar Pinurhaci moved the capital from Liaoyang to Shenyang Zhongwei in the tenth year of Destiny (1625) and started building the imperial palace in Shenyang, Shenyang has experienced a historic turning point, from a military garrison to the imperial city of Shengjing. Later, in the eighth year of Tiancong (1634), Huang Taiji respected Shenyang as the "Shengjing".
At that time, Nurhachi built the Dazheng Hall and the Pavilion of Ten Kings in Shengjing City, where political affairs were discussed. He also built a "living palace" based on the Jurchen architectural model on the north side of the central axis, which is the Han Palace.
From the first year of Hou Tiancong to the fifth year of Tiancong, Huang Taiji ordered the continued construction of Daqing Gate, Chongzheng Palace, Phoenix Tower, Qingning Palace, Linzhi Palace, Guanju Palace, Yanqing Palace, Yongfu Palace, etc. The Great Inner Palace.
At the same time, Huang Taiji also ordered the construction of eight gates in Shengjing, with the Eight Banners Army each guarding one gate. The city's thoroughfares changed from cross streets during the Ming Wei Dynasty to tic-tac-toe streets. At this time, in addition to the royal palace, Shengjing City also had the Khan's Palace, eleven royal palaces, six government offices, temples, etc.
Four roads surrounded the Manchu Palace in the middle, and corresponding to the four roads were eight gates entering and leaving the city, that is, "eight gates to eight streets".
At this time, outside the Huaiyuan Gate to the west of Shengjing, nearly 70,000 troops led by Dorgon, Duduo, and Daishan led by the Manchu Two White Banner and Zhenghong Banner, as well as the Mongolian Two Red Banner and Two White Banner, arrived at the city. The old and weak people left behind in the city Although the soldiers did not see Huang Taiji's command, nor did they see Huang Taiji's edict, they still obediently opened the city gate in the face of Dorgon's military power.
Tens of thousands of troops entered the city immediately. Dorgon ordered Duduo to immediately take control of the city's defense. Shengjing began to impose martial law immediately, and Duduo followed.
That is, he led Manchuria's two white flag soldiers and horses to guard various city gates and important places.
Dorgon and Daishan, Zhenghongqi Gushan'e Zhenengitu, Xianghongqi Gushan'e Zhenbuyandai, Zhengbaiqi Gushan'e Zhenyibai, Xiangbaiqi Gushan'e Zhensuna immediately led their troops to Da Nei , a large number of soldiers and horses were stationed outside the palace. Dorgon, Daishan, and Mongolia's two red flags and two white flags, Gushan Ezhen, led hundreds of armored soldiers into the palace and immediately blocked the Chongzheng Hall.
"Summon all civil and military officials to discuss matters here immediately!"
Dorgon suppressed the joy and excitement in his heart, and then said: "Bring Concubine Zhuang and Fulin also!"
Dayu'er's real name was Borjijitbumubudai, a member of the Horqin tribe in Mongolia, and the famous Empress Xiaozhuangwen in history.
At this time, Shi Shan couldn't help but change his color slightly when he heard the words. He wanted to say something, but he still sighed and sent someone on an errand.
Not long after, Zhuang Fei Da Yuer and Fulin arrived at Chongzheng Hall first. Looking at Dorgon and Daishan with their faces full of vicissitudes of life, they saw soldiers and horses of Zhenghong Banner and Zhengbai Banner along the way, but Huang Taiji and Hao were not seen. When he saw the figure of Ge and others, he had already understood eight or nine points in his heart, and sadness and fear suddenly surged in his heart.
Upon seeing this, Dorgon just ordered someone to fetch a soft pier, asked Dayu'er and Xiao Fulin to sit down, and continued to wait for the ministers.
Not long after, Lausa, the Minister of State Council, Jin Li, the first-class counselor of the Han Army with a red flag, Ta Zhan, the Minister of the Interior, Suohai, the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Ying Erdai, the Minister of State Council, Zhang Cunren, the Prime Minister of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Gao Hongzhong, the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. , Minister of Internal Affairs Turge, Prime Minister of the Ministry of War Ye Keshu, third-level Angbang Zhangjing Tulai and others arrived one after another. These people were already all the main ministers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty staying in Shengjing.
In this battle, Huang Taiji also took away a large number of civil and military officials to assist him in handling military affairs. However, after the defeat, Dorgon abandoned all these ministers among the rebellious army, leaving these Huang Taiji The confidants died, the captured were captured, and the ministers in the DPRK were all in vain.
At this time, everyone had already guessed a thing or two from the two white flags and red flags that could be seen everywhere in the city to warn soldiers and horses. Now they saw that only Dorgon, Daishan and a few Gushan Ezhen from various Mongolian banners were present, and the emperor was not seen. Tai Chi, I feel even more uneasy.
When Dorgon saw that everyone had arrived, he ordered the Chongzheng Hall to be sealed off, saying, "I have led an army to suddenly return to Shengjing. You must be surprised and worried about what is going on at the front."
Dorgon glanced at Dayu'er, with a hint of warmth in his eyes, and then continued: "Your Majesty led the army to fight decisively with more than 100,000 elite soldiers of Liu Yan's tribe in Changping Prefecture and Yanqing Prefecture. However, due to your Majesty's command failure, we were killed in the 30s of the Qing Dynasty. The remaining ten thousand soldiers were defeated in one battle. Except for the troops and horses that I, Prince Yu, Prince Li, and Mongolian Gushan Ezhen snatched away, the main force of the army was completely destroyed. His Majesty, Prince Su, Prince Zheng and other banner lords and princes All ministers died in battle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was silence in the main hall. Suddenly, Dayu'er screamed and fell to the ground. Fulin beside him also started to cry at a loss.
At this time, Ying Erdai, the minister of political affairs, said angrily: "Impossible! Our Qing Dynasty has mobilized more than 300,000 soldiers to defeat the country. Even if it is defeated, it will never be so tragic. I ask the government and the opposition to have a big discussion and punish the soldiers who have withdrawn. Question!”
Dorgon said coldly: "Question? Who do you want to question? This king
, or Prince Li, or the warriors of all banners who fought bloody battles and walked thousands of miles back! "
After being angered by Dorgon, Ying Erdai calmed down immediately, and then thought of a question: Why were the soldiers and horses seen in the city all Manchuria's two white flags, red flags, two yellow flags and two Where are the soldiers and horses with blue flags and red flags? Even if they are defeated, there won't be a single soldier left!
Everyone else also thought about this question. In an instant, an incredible thought appeared in everyone's mind: Was this defeat caused by Dorgon?
But now Shengjing is under Dorgon's control, and no one dares to say anything more at this time.
Seeing that everyone was very cooperative, Dorgon said: "Our Qing Dynasty is suddenly in disaster. Liu Yan's army may come out to kill at any time. The Qing Dynasty has reached a critical moment of life and death. It must establish a new king and rebuild as soon as possible. Eight Banners Warriors!”
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
At this moment, Duduo strode into Chongzheng Hall wearing armor, followed by a large number of Manchurian soldiers with white flags.
Duduo pulled out his sword and said angrily to the ministers: "Prince Rui has outstanding military exploits. When hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated, he rescued several warriors and blocked the pursuing troops led by Liu Yan. Qing has left a trace of vitality. I hereby propose that Prince Rui be enthroned as emperor. Do you have any objections?"
At this time, Zhang Cunren, the Prime Minister of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, stood up and said: "Prince Yu's proposal is inappropriate. Although the late emperor has died in the battle, there is still a prince who is here. We, the Qing Dynasty, will never implement the strategy of killing brothers after brothers. This is what we have done." The law of chaos!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Duduo slashed Zhang Cunren to death. Until the moment he fell, Zhang Cunren's eyes widened and he couldn't believe that Duduo would kill him in front of the ministers.
Duduo wiped the blood on his sword with his arm guard and said coldly: "A Han dog slave dares to arbitrarily discuss the throne of the Qing Dynasty. Damn it!"
With Zhang Cunren's "sacrifice", the rest of the people did not dare to object and accepted the order one after another.
Later, under the leadership of Duduo and Daishan, Dorgon accepted the obeisance of the ministers in the Chongzheng Hall. Dayu'er on the side looked at all this, with endless hatred in his heart. He just looked at Fulin beside him, not daring to say a word at this time, for fear of attracting Dorgon's murderous intention.
Then Dorgon said: "Everyone will perform your duties for the time being. After the stability inside and outside Shengjing, I will hold the enthronement hall again, and then discuss with all ministers how to revitalize the Qing Dynasty."
"This slave accepts the order!"
With Zhang Cunren's life, he temporarily suppressed the ministers. Dorgon and Duoduo felt a lot more at ease for the time being, and then they looked at Dayu'er and Fulin in the hall.
The marriage customs of the Manchus are the same as those of other Hu people, and women are regarded as property. After the father dies, the son can accept all the women of his father except his biological mother. If the elder brother dies, the younger brother can also divide all the women of the elder brother.
At this time, although the Qing Dynasty, with the efforts of Huang Taiji, had largely abandoned all the previous bad habits and had a certain degree of etiquette, justice and shame, the things deep inside could not be easily eradicated.
Both Dorgon and Duduo coveted Dayu'er at this time.
Daishan on the side felt very uncomfortable when he saw this, so he pulled Dorgon aside and whispered: "Your Majesty,
Now that the power is in hand, we should focus on government and military affairs. It is better for this big jade to be buried by the late emperor. "
Dorgon glared at Daishan and said, "No!"
Dai Shan sighed slightly, and then said: "I won't say much about how to deal with this Da Yu'er. I just ask your Majesty to bypass Fulin and other princes. After all, they are all the blood of the late emperor. They are still young and do not pose a threat. "
Dorgon was silent for a while, then said with a smile: "This is natural, I agreed!"
Then Dorgon ordered Daishan to lead people to clear out Yongfu Palace as the residence of several princes of Huang Taiji.
"When Fulin and other princes are brought together in the palace to support them, I will also ask the master to teach them. Only in this way can I feel at ease."
Daishan immediately accepted the order, as if he was worried that Dorgon would regret it, so he hurriedly went on errands.
At this time, Dorgon looked at Dayu'er with very complicated eyes. Although Duduo on the side also felt sad, he stepped back very wisely at this time and took Fulin with him.
Only Dorgon and Dayu'er were left in the hall, and the other two white flag soldiers also left with Duoduo.
"How are you?"
Da Yuer did not answer, but asked with tears in his eyes: "Can your Majesty let Fulin go?"
From then until midnight, Dorgon and Dayu'er were in Chongzheng Hall. Outsiders had no idea what they were talking about or doing.
At the same time, Daishan had already cleaned out Yongfu Palace and settled Fulin and other princes here before leaving the palace with a sigh of relief.
Today's Shengjing city is in chaos, and Daishan still has a lot to do. At this time, a...
No mistakes can be made.
In the middle of the night, a fire suddenly broke out in Yongfu Palace. When Dorgon got the news, he rushed out of Chongzheng Palace with a few buttons of his mandarin jacket unbuttoned.
Immediately afterwards, Dayu'er screamed and rushed out. Looking in the direction of Yongfu Palace, he saw that there was already a fire over there, and he could even hear many guards and palace maids shouting in surprise.
Suddenly, Dayu'er pointed at Dorgon and shouted angrily: "You lied to me, you killed them!"
Dorgon's eyes flickered, then he glanced at Dayu'er, turned around and left without saying a word.
That night, Fulin and other princes who were placed in Yongfu Palace were all killed. None of the guards and maids in Yongfu Palace escaped. It is said that the first one to lead troops to put out the fire was Prince Yu Duduo.
In the early morning of the next day, Dayu'er was so distraught that he hanged himself in Chongzheng Hall alone.
After Dorgon heard the news, he was so distressed that he ordered Dayu'er to be buried lavishly. Then he began to clean up the court. In just six days, Dorgon killed all Huang Taiji's two yellow flag officials in the court, regardless of their official position. Death, along with their family members, hundreds of people were killed within six days, and for a time there was a tremor inside and outside Shengjing.
