Time has come to the first month of the second year of Hongguang.
Emperor Hongguang settled in Hezhou, and then he couldn't wait to go to Taiping Mansion.
At the same time, Huang Degong officially abandoned the city of Nanjing and eagerly left the city by boat and came to Hezhou.
Here, he learned the news about Emperor Hongguang, so he couldn't wait to run, and finally intercepted Hongguang in Taiping Mansion.
"Your Majesty——" Huang Degong looked at the huge back of Emperor Hongguang, his expression was filled with excitement.
Emperor Hongguang was a little embarrassed about this, but he was an emperor after all, so he was thick-skinned. He helped Huang Degong, who was half-kneeling:
"Why are the Qing family here?"
"Your Majesty, since you are not in the city, the general has simply left the city."
Huang Degong said with a serious face: "Those people in the city all have their hearts set on the Qing Dynasty and want to make great achievements. In the end, they will have no choice but to leave the city..."
As he spoke, he revealed the ugly appearance of the ministers and said without hesitation: "After learning about your escape, they even planned to welcome the false prince..."
"By the way, Your Majesty, where is Ma Shouxu?"
Huang Degong looked around and was surprised when he didn't find Ma Shiying.
"Ma Shoufu went to the east!"
Hongguang sighed and said softly: "There are still soldiers and horses from the imperial court near Hangzhou, so he is planning to attract the attention of the Qing Dynasty first."
"Then, Your Majesty, where are you going?"
Huang Degong asked curiously.
Hearing this, Hongguang took a deep breath: "Everything is difficult now, I don't know, but after all, we need to stay away from Nanjing. The further away, the better."
Huang Degong was convinced, with sincere eyes: "According to the general's wishes, the Huguang area is the most stable. Where the King of Yu is stationed, the Manchus and Qing Dynasties do not dare to march easily."
"this……"
Thinking of King Yu's past domineering behavior, Emperor Hongguang suddenly felt that he had gone there and really turned into a puppet, and he felt bored for a moment.
"Then go to Jiangxi!"
Huang Degong saw his expression and hurriedly continued: "Jiangxi is a vast territory. I believe that the Manchus and Qing Dynasties are mostly cavalry. It must be difficult to travel in the south of the Yangtze River, especially in Jiangxi, with thousands of lakes and ditches..."
"Go to Jiangxi!"
Emperor Hongguang couldn't wait to shout: "Let's go to Jiangxi to recruit troops."
"But, Your Majesty, Jiujiang is now in the hands of King Yu. If we want to go to Jiangxi, we must get their approval."
Huang Degong spread his hands and said helplessly.
Zhu Yousong was even more furious and his fat body was trembling wildly.
Now that things have happened, I can't get rid of King Yu no matter what.
"Can't you just stay away from King Yu?"
Emperor Hongguang gritted his teeth, his eyes full of helplessness.
"There is no other way!"
Huang Degong sighed and said: "The stupidest way is to stay in Luzhou Mansion and wait until King Qin's army gathers before making other plans."
"Then go to Luzhou!"
Hong Guang took a breath and said seriously.
In this way, Huang Degong could only obey his orders.
At this time of life and death, we can only focus on one thing.
However, after running Luzhou for a year, he had some experience and could barely cope with it.
…
At this time, the British Prince Azig led the Qing army into Nanjing in a mighty manner.
Civil servants headed by Qian Qianyi and Wang Duo, as well as military officers such as Zhao Zhilong, couldn't wait to welcome him.
In the meantime, there was an episode. Han Zanzhou, the Nanjing garrison eunuch who was one of the three pillars of Nanjing, hanged himself.
Compared to the other people who knelt down to greet him, it was full of irony.
However, for the sake of glory and wealth, no one mentioned this matter.
From a practical point of view, the reason why Nanjing surrendered smoothly is because the Manchus learned the lessons of the intruder Li Zicheng, and the surrender policy was extremely loose.
For example, as long as a civil servant surrenders, he will not only be appointed at the same level, but may also be promoted to a higher rank.
Warriors would often be transferred to their subordinates to join the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and garrison in places, such as Jiang Xiang in Datong.
Therefore, if the official position remains unchanged and there are even rewards, why don't all the officials surrender?
The martial heroes were eager to integrate into the new court, obtain titles, or retain wealth.
Therefore, due to the original appointment of officials, Duduo returned to the north in history, and with the emergence of the hair-cutting order, the south of the Yangtze River was boiling, and there were countless rebellions and uprisings.
It was also at this time that in order to suppress civil unrest, a large number of massacres were prevalent, just to suppress the bloody nature of the Han people.
Azige naturally understood the purpose of the imperial court. As soon as he entered the city, he instructed Zhao Zhilong: "According to the imperial court's wishes, you will definitely be given a worldly position."
Zhao Zhilong was so old that he couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty, I will serve the Qing Dynasty with all my heart, and die..."
Azig didn't care about this. The huge city of Nanjing was already dazzling him.
In particular, the palace, which was not inferior to Beijing, surprised him even more.
Therefore, despite everyone's advice, he even moved directly into the palace, sat on the dragon throne, and was reluctant to get down.
Looking at the empty palace, the feeling of condescension made him unforgettable:
"Is this what an emperor feels like? Much better than any other woman."
For a moment, a fire ignited in my chest, and the ambition that had been buried resurrected:
"Dorgon can be named regent. I captured Nanjing and Jiangnan for the imperial court. My younger brother is the regent. Now that I am the elder brother, if the regent doesn't want to, an uncle can always do it, right?"
To put it bluntly, he wanted to be like Dorgon, gain a position above all kings, show his status, and even coveted Dorgon's regent.
Historically, Azig not only thought this way, but also wrote a request to the court, but was rejected.
After Dorgon's death, he still didn't know whether to live or die, and wanted to replace Dorgon as regent. As a result, he was deprived of his title by Shunzhi and imprisoned to death.
Irritable, complacent, and lacking in resourcefulness, this is a true portrayal of Azig.
Thinking in his heart, Azig really took advantage of the great victory and wrote to the court, asking for the title of Uncle King.
Dorgon's desk was full of information about Azig's transgressions in Nanjing. When he saw Azig's letter, he was furious:
"Azig is indeed a greedy fool. He just took over Nanjing and he dared to threaten the imperial court!!"
There was another burst of curses in Manchu, and Dorgon was still angry.
How great would it be if it was Duduo who went south?
The restrained and wise Duduo is much better than the reckless and ambitious Azig.
"Feng Shuan, what do you think?"
Dorgon turned his gaze to the scholar aside and asked directly.
Compared with Fan Wencheng, a veteran of the former Huang Taiji, newly attached civil servants like Feng Shuan are more trustworthy.
"Reporting to the Prince Regent, the Prince of England now has half of the troops of the imperial court, and more than 100,000 surrendered troops. It can be said that he is very powerful and attracts trouble."
Feng Shuan cupped his hands and said: "At this time, it is not appropriate to provoke him. Let's calm him down and appease him. When he returns to Beijing and leaves the army, it will not be too late to deal with it."
"yes!"
Dorgon nodded and said gloomily: "With so many soldiers and horses, no wonder he has thoughts that he shouldn't have."
When Feng Shuan heard this, he immediately knew that the outcome of Prince Ying's return would not be good.
