Chapter 445 Where is the Qing Dynasty?
In the Cining Palace, the smell of blood had not completely dissipated, but Chen Cao couldn't bear the loneliness and rushed in. After entering, he asked Li Xiang to go back first. After all, the woman's family was still hostile.
"Yan'er..."
Chen Cao changed his usual joking and looked seriously at Zhang Yan who was lying on the bed without energy and said: "It's a good sign to see our son born before leaving. I don't know when I will come back, so there are some things You have to prepare first.”
Zhang Yan had a gentle look on her face: "Your Majesty..."
Chen Cao squeezed Zhang Yan's hand: "You should have a good rest and take good care of our son."
As he spoke, Chen Cao looked at Zhang Yan intently and said, "Li Shanggong."
"My slave is here."
"According to my decree, the emperor's sixth son is named Bo Zhong and is established as the King of Chu. He is hereditary and will not be replaced. He will arrange everything in the Ministry of Rites and the clan's mansion."
Zhang Yan almost shed tears, Chen Cao grabbed her hand and said softly: "I can't accompany you anymore. I'm going to see Mrs. Zhou again. I will leave soon. After I leave, you should take good care of your son and Mr. Zhou. clear."
"I understand..."
Chen Cao left the main hall and took Li Shanggong and others to Zhou Yufeng's residence in the west side hall. She knew that Zhang Yan gave birth, but she was still worried about the last assassination of Chen Cao.
There were many nuns in charge. Seeing Chen Cao's arrival, they all squatted and saluted, and then opened the palace door. Chen Cao entered. Mrs. Zhou was sitting in front of the desk in a daze, but she didn't notice that it was Chen Cao who came in. She thought it was Chen Cao. A nanny came in and said, "Sister is giving birth?"
"A big fat boy was born."
When she heard Chen Cao's voice, Zhou was stunned, then turned to see that Chen Cao had walked to the chair behind her and sat down, and remained silent.
Chen Cao waved Li Shanggong and others to exit, but the door of the palace was not closed. Chen Cao sighed, and then said to himself: "The official documents sent by Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Xichang respectively from Beijing confirmed that Zhou Kui was rebellious. The Tatars captured and killed Zhu Cizheng who was hiding in the Chengguo Duke's mansion."
Zhou's back was turned to Chen Cao. He trembled when he heard the news, but he did not move any further. Chen Cao did not raise his head and looked at the top of the hall: "Zhu Cijiong is his grandson. There is reliable information from Jin Yiwei that he has been killed by the Tatars." The son was killed outside Zhengyang Gate."
"impossible..."
Mrs. Zhou was filled with tears and kept shaking her head: "Father is not that kind of person, not..."
Chen Cao did not refute Zhou, but said to himself: "The Tatar puppet Qing regime gave Zhou Kui the title of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites."
Chen Cao sighed and said: "None of you and Chongzhen's children are alive. They killed them all before the Tatars entered the capital. Everything was done by the Tatars to destroy our Ming Dynasty, so they used Zhu Cixiang's In the name of a so-called big policy return, Zhou...Yufeng, you need to wake up..."
"Kill me...wuwuwu..."
Zhou's face burst into tears. Chen Cao stood up and looked at her: "I won't kill you. You and I are already married after all. I can understand what you did to me. You live in Cining Palace. Take good care of your sister, after all she was your former sister-in-law, but now..."
Chen Cao thought for a while: "I have asked the Ministry of Rites to re-issue a document to remove her name and change her to the imperial concubine."
Zhou Yufeng did not express anything and just cried faintly. Chen Cao thought for a while and then said: "This Northern Expedition must be completed in one battle. When I come back, I will definitely give you an explanation."
After saying that, she turned around and left. Mrs. Zhou looked up at the departing figure. She wanted to say something, but she didn't say it. When Chen Cao left the palace, Li Shanggong came up to him and said, "Your Majesty, this servant just left the housekeeper's house. I got news that Queen Zhou...Queen Zhou did not have her period this month."
Chen Cao was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the palace door where Zhou was no longer visible, and then said: "Don't tell the Queen about this for now, you take my gold medal, and take good care of Zhou after I leave. In addition, if necessary, ask Concubine Zhang to protect the Zhou family, do you understand?"
Li Shanggong was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I know how powerful this slave is, your Majesty, don't worry."
Chen Cao nodded and left Cining Palace first.
...
Beijing
In the Qianqing Palace, the Emperor Taiji was sitting on the throne that had been used by previous Ming emperors. At this moment, his brows were furrowed, and he was actually feeling unspeakable anguish in his heart.
The palace was already very noisy at the moment. As the basis of the Eight Banners Leaders' Consensus System, it was a precedent for a group of princes to quarrel in the palace.
"Old Fourteen, what do you think?"
Prince Dorgon, the Fourteenth Prince Rui, was also frowning at this moment. He did not quarrel with the banner princes from the beginning. After the incident between Daishan and Abatai, a large number of his own people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty were reduced. Huang Taiji New people had to be promoted.
As the new flag leader of Zhengbai Banner, he was thinking about where to fight the Ming army.
Faced with Huang Taiji's inquiry, Dorgon raised his head and was silent for a while before saying: "Back to the emperor, I think this battle can be fought."
As soon as Dorgon spoke, the palace immediately fell silent. Amin belonged to the Xianghuang Banner, but he was not the prince who owned the flag. He should have died long ago, but he is still alive and well today for various reasons. The most important reason is because there is no one. Available.
He was about to interrupt, but was overtaken by the loud-voiced Mang Gurtai: "Dorgon, how can we fight? Even Hauge's 600,000 men were defeated, the seventh child is still dead, and the life and death of the second child are unknown. , according to me, it is better to retreat outside the pass first and rely on the vast terrain of Liaodong to fight cavalry battles with the Ming people."
There is a reason why Mang Gurtai is still just Heshuo Baylor. Even Abatai was promoted to a county king, but he is only a Baylor until now. But the only good thing is that after Abatai died, he became Zhenglan. The status of the flag owner and flag owner Baylor allows him to shout loudly in Qianqing Palace.
If the Manchu Qing Dynasty had not reached a critical moment of life and death, Huang Taiji had many ways to kill Mang Gurtai, but not now.
"I have carefully checked around the capital before. After entering the Zijin Pass, it is all plains until the Guangning Gate of the capital. The other three directions are to Hejian Mansion. They are basically plain areas. If you are directly in The city of Beijing is at war with the Ming army, but our army can still fight;"
Dorgon continued: "I actually suggested that Yue Tuo should be ordered to perform meritorious service and be appointed as the general to conquer the south. Starting from Shandong, he would contain the Ming army's march northward. Our army would shrink its troops in various places and fight to the death with the Ming army in the Gyeonggi area. This is also my only chance to clear up the world."
"shit..."
"Mang Gurtai..."
After being scolded by Huang Taiji, Mang Gurtai calmed down. Upon seeing this, Dorgon continued: "This is my analysis. Together with the Eight Banners and Ding, we can now make up 100,000 as the absolute main force. Horqin, The two Mongolian cavalry in Bahrain have 100,000 people, and there are 150,000 Han Banners, and nearly 300,000 green troops. They can set up battlefields around the capital to deal with the Ming army. In addition, the last transaction between our country and the foreign forces was in the year At present, it is estimated that there are 500 Hongyi cannons and about 1,000 artillery pieces of various types. If we really fight, the Qing Dynasty will not lose too much in terms of overall strength."
