At the beginning of Haishi, Duoduo's big tent was opened.
Shang Kexi, dressed in military uniform, was kneeling on the ground with blood on his face, his body shaking constantly.
However, his pair of triangular eyes still glanced ahead at Dodo, who was holding a riding crop and an angry look on his face.
It turned out that after Shang Kexi met Dorgon, he dispatched soldiers according to his instructions to prepare for the voyage.
He was busy for several hours before settling the matter, and then hurried to report to Dorgon.
After Dorgon nodded, he dared to return to the camp. When he was about to take a rest, Nikan and Mandahai suddenly came to visit, saying that they had something to discuss with him.
Shang Ke was happy to know that the two of them were Duduo's confidants, and it would be bad to come to him now. He was looking for an opportunity to escape, but he didn't expect that the two of them would force him to come.
Although Shang Kexi struggled hard and even attracted his personal guards, because Nikan and Mandahai were the grandsons of Nurhachi, and the people accompanying them had already controlled the surrounding camps, his men did not dare to take action. In the end, he had to He followed the two of them resignedly.
When he was taken to Duduo's tent, Duduo didn't say anything, just picked up the riding crop on the table and beat him severely.
Later, Nikan and Mandahai were afraid that they would beat him to death and would not be able to explain to Dorgon, so they pulled Duduo aside to persuade him, and Shang Kexi finally came back to his senses.
"Snapped!"
Just when Shang Kexi took a peek, Duduo whipped him again and cursed angrily: "You dog slave, how dare you look at me, but you don't accept it?"
After he said that, he rushed forward to beat Shang Kexi again, but Nikan stopped him and advised him: "Prince Yu, calm down, why bother venting your anger with a slave? It's not worth it to ruin your health!"
Duduo snorted coldly and said: "This bitch has done nothing good himself, but he puts all the blame on me, causing me to be laughed at. I have to beat him to death today!"
As Duduo said, he raised his whip again to whip Shang Kexi.
Seeing this, Shang Ke shrank slightly and shouted: "Prince Yu, you are wronged, my servant has never put the responsibility on you!"
Hearing this, Duduo shouted angrily: "You didn't shirk your responsibility, so why was the food and grass burned, and I was deprived of the title of prince, but you just received a scolding. Do you think I am a fool?"
A look of surprise flashed across Shang Kexi's face, and then he said with some confusion: "Prince Yu, this...don't you know this?"
Although Duduo has a bad temper, he is also somewhat intelligent. Seeing that there was something in Shang Kexi's words, he still yelled angrily: "You little slave, you still want to trick me with your sweet words, until I beat you to death!"
"My servant did not lie to you. This matter was discussed between the Prince Regent and the Queen Mother!"
Shang Ke was happy to see that Duduo was going to beat him again, and immediately shouted loudly.
Duduo was stunned when he heard this, and said with some surprise: "What are you talking about? This is what Brother Fourteen and that woman have agreed upon?"
Shang Kexi shrank slightly and glanced at Nikan and Mandahai again, but did not speak.
When Nikan saw this, he was about to pull Mandahai out of the tent, but he heard Duduo yell angrily: "You little slave, don't act mystical here, you know what I know, how can my general not know!"
"You tell me well today. If I find out that you are lying, I will beat you to death!"
After Duduo said this, he raised the riding whip in his hand and stared at Shang Kexi fiercely.
Shang Kexi shrank back again, then looked at Duduo with a horrified look on his face and said, "Prince Yu, in fact, the grain and grass burned are all fake!" Z.br>
Duduo frowned and said, "Do you think I'm a fool, you bitch? I've checked all the grain and fodder you transported, how could it be fake?"
"It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't tell the truth."
As he said this, he stepped forward to beat Shang Kexi again.
Shang Ke was pleased to see this and hurriedly explained: "Prince Yu, the grain and grass you saw are real, but after you left, the grain and grass were transported to Datong by Horqin."
"And most of the food and grass delivered by the slaves are fake. They were deliberately burned by the Ming soldiers in order to give the illusion of food shortage."
Dodo
After thinking for a while, he said: "That's nonsense. If you just want to create the illusion of food shortage, then why is there no food in Datong..."
He stopped again as he spoke and asked in a deep voice, "Is this really a matter of discussion between the Prince Regent and that woman?"
Shang Ke happily nodded and said, "How could I dare to act like this without the order from the Regent? If Prince Yu doesn't believe it, just ask the Regent and you will know!"
Duduo glared at him, threw down the riding crop angrily, and was about to move forward when Nikan held him back and whispered: "Prince Yu, if this matter is really planned by the Prince Regent and the Queen Mother, it is not appropriate for you to ask the Regent at this moment. King!"
Duduo was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, if Brother Fourteen hadn't interceded for me, I would have been deprived of my title due to Fan Wencheng's incident. He shouldn't have harmed me!"
Nikan shook his head and said: "Prince Yu, please don't forget that although you did not seize the title, you have changed from the flag owner of the Zhengbai Banner to being in charge of the Xiangbai Banner together with King Wuying (Ajige). This is no better than seizing the title. The punishment is light!"
When Duduo heard this, his heart trembled, and he remembered what happened before.
It turns out that after the Eight Banners were established in Nurhachi, each banner was stipulated to have 25 niulu, totaling 7,500 people.
But this system has never been implemented from the beginning, so the number of Niu Lu of the flag owner has become a symbol of strength.
When Nurhaci was alive, the Zhenghuang Banner he was in charge of had forty-five Niulu, making it the strongest of the Eight Banners.
Because Nurhaci loved Duduo very much, he once awarded Duduo the fifteen Niulu in the Zhenghuang Banner, and made it clear that Duduo would be in charge of the Zhenghuang Banner a hundred years later.
It's just that Duduo was young at the time. After Nurhachi's death, Huang Taiji used his power to exchange yellow and white. Duduo only got the thirty-five Niulu of Zhengbai Banner, while the thirty Niulu of Xiangbai Banner were given by Azig. Co-managed with Dorgon.
Although Duduo did not get the Zhenghuangqi, his number of records at that time was second only to Huang Taiji.
Because of this strength, after the death of Huang Taiji, when Dorgon was retreating in order to advance, Duduo once stood up and said that he would compete for the throne.
But with his strength, after snatching Fan Wencheng's wife, Dorgon took away fifteen Niulu. Later, he and King Wuying (Ajige) held the white flag together, but Dorgon became The flag owner of Zhengbai Banner.
While Duduo was deep in thought, Nikan had someone take Shang Kexi out and whispered: "Prince Yu, I have been holding something in my heart for a long time. I don't know whether I should say it..." "
He said and looked at Dodo again.
Duduo said with an irritated look: "When did you become such a mother-in-law? If you have anything to say, just say it!"
A flash of embarrassment flashed across Nikan's face, and then he bowed and said, "Prince Yu, you have been talking about what will happen after breaking through Shanhaiguan."
"Have you ever thought that the Xiangbai Banner first attacked the city and was damaged, and then returned to aid Shengjing? Even if you win this victory, it is the credit of the Zhengbai Banner. What does it have to do with your Xiangbai Banner?"
Duduo was stunned when he heard this, and then shouted angrily: "Nikan, what do you mean by this?"
Seeing the angry look on Duduo's face, Nikan hurriedly knelt down and apologized: "Prince Yu, I will know that these words may lead to death, but I will be sincere to you, so please understand!"
At this time, Mandahai on the side also echoed: "Prince Yu, I think Nikan's words are reasonable. Please think again!"
Duduo was originally resentful because Nikan brought up the matter of changing the flag, but now that he saw both of them speaking in the same way, he couldn't help but feel hesitant.
For a moment, there was silence in the big tent.
