"Are you here to say goodbye?"
In the palace tent, Dorgon already knew the intention of Wang Yongji and Gao Di. It turned out that the two of them came to say goodbye, and at the same time, they also wanted to test Dorgon's tone.
The order Zhu Cihong gave them said that they should march to Xuanfu and Datong immediately. Try to capture these two important towns before the Qing troops do. He also told them that he had sent people to recruit the traitorous Datong general Jiang Yu, and that he would probably succeed anyway. If it is difficult for Gao Di to enter the Xuanfu, he should go to Datong with Wang Yongji.
After receiving the order, the two discussed it and felt that Yongping was not a place to stay for a long time, so they had to leave as soon as possible. Even if you can't enter Datong, you can still find opportunities to go south. It's better than staying in Yongping and being annexed by the Tatars.
"Your Majesty," Wang Yongji said with a flattering smile, "Xiaoguan and Gao Zongrong have been ordered to protect the acting king of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the original Prince Ding will go to Datong to establish a vassal state tomorrow. So today, I came to pay homage to Your Majesty. Farewell."
"Isn't Datong in the hands of thieves?" Dorgon asked.
"Datong fell into the hands of the bandits because the former chief military officer Jiang Quan rebelled," Wang Yongji said. "Now that the bandits are gone, Jiang Quan will most likely take the opportunity to change things, so I ordered the minister and General Gao to go Take a chance.”
"Oh." Dorgon nodded, waved his hand and said, "Then you go try your luck."
After listening to his words, Wang Yongji and Gao Di were relieved. They already knew that Dorgon had taken action against Wu Sangui's troops in Shanhaiguan. Although they did not use force, ordering them to return to their homes outside the pass was equivalent to turning part of the Ming army into Qing soldiers. military......
The two of them are not as strong as Wu Sangui, but don't let the Manchus swallow them up. Then they will have to shave their heads and become traitors.
But how can one be as happy as a traitor as an independent warlord? Now that there is an opportunity to become a warlord, who would be interested in becoming a traitor?
"My lord, are you really going to let them go like this?"
Seeing Wang Yongji and Gao Di leave, Fan Wencheng came up to talk, "Shanxi's terrain is high and towering. Once occupied by the Ming army, I am afraid it will not be conducive to the Qing Dynasty occupying the land in Northern Zhili. It is better to send an elite army to intercept them in the middle." kill!"
Dorgon turned his head and looked at Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou thought for a while and said: "Both Wang Yongji and Gao Di have been officials in the Beizhili area for many years and are familiar with the terrain. As long as they are on guard, it will be difficult for the Manchu warriors to successfully intercept them. It is better to send envoys with the ministers. I wrote a personal letter to persuade Jiang Quan to surrender. Since Jiang Quan is willing to join the bandits, there is no reason to reject the Qing Dynasty!"
"That's right!" Dorgon nodded, "Wang Yongji and Gao Di will stay still for the time being, so as not to alert the enemy."
Hong Chengchou said again: "What the prince said is absolutely true, the Dagokou side is the most important!"
Dorgon nodded slightly and suddenly said loudly: "Doron!"
Outside the palace tent, a thunderous voice immediately responded: "The slave is here!"
As soon as the voice fell, I saw a man in his twenties, tall and handsome, with slightly sunken eye sockets and a cold light in his eyes. He opened the curtain and walked in. When he arrived in front of Dorgon, he bowed and said: "There are so many slaves." Long, send your regards to the prince."
This man is Baya Lazhangjing of Zhengbai Banner under Dorgon, who is also the commander of Dorgon's army. His surname is Niuhulu and his given name is Duolong. He was a bodyguard of Dorgon. Because of his strong martial arts skills and particularly bravery in battle, he was called the best warrior in Manchuria by Dorgon, and he was promoted to the high position of Baya Lazhangjing. Although he has a high official position now, he still often serves Dorgon in front of and behind the saddle. Today, he is on duty outside Dorgon's palace tent to guard the gate.
"Doron," Dorgon said with a smile, "I have an errand to entrust to you. If you do it well, it will be a great achievement!"
"Please give me your Majesty's instructions. Even if I am broken into pieces, I will still finish the job for you!"
Dorgon laughed and said: "As the best warrior in Manchuria, I always feel at ease when doing things, because you are not only brave, but also clever! But this time the opponent you have to deal with is no small matter, it is the Ming Dynasty." The emperor and the prince...Dolong, do you dare to go?"
Duolong was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and loudly replied: "How dare you not!"
...
On the second day of May in the 17th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, it was a good time to travel far and get married. The God of Fortune was in the west and the God of Joy was in the east.
On this day, Li Zicheng was traveling far away, and Zhu Cihong wanted to take a concubine.
The sound of crackling firecrackers rang out near the Haisha Island Palace, and crowds of people surged around. Some prominent figures from Haisha Island and nearby Dagukou City all came to the palace. The adults went in to have a drink, while the long-term followers crowded at the gate and looked in beamingly. They can't see the new daughter-in-law, but the prince will definitely give her gifts of food and wine today, so they can feel a little happy.
There are also some children crawling around in the rain of firecrackers, stepping on the muddy land on the island, laughing loudly - these children are not the children of the fishermen and farmers here in Dagukou, all of them are N generations of honors and officials. , such a large group of young princes, young marquises and young uncles, if father or grandfather only had a hereditary commander, they would be embarrassed to say it.
But now they are all in trouble, and they don't know if there are any officials or titles they can get, and they no longer have the pampering treatment they had in the past. They are just like the little brats among the people, rolling and playing in the mud.
The officers and soldiers of the newly formed Central Division of the New Army to overcome difficulties all put on brand-new clothes, and they were also beaming and maintaining order there.
They are not wearing mandarin duck war coats now, but red cloth robes - it is too late to make mandarin duck war coats, so they can only make do with it. These red cloth robes were sent by the governor Su Guansheng and the commander-in-chief Li Ruolian who had arrived in Dengzhou. Song Quan, the governor of Dagukou appointed by Zhu Cixiang, organized the women in the city (all official women) to work hard and distributed them to Ke It is difficult for the officers and soldiers of the new army.
In fact, it is not necessary for the prince to choose the attendants. The attendants are just concubines, not the official wives like the crown princess. However, Zhu Cihong still ordered Huang Dabao, Huang Jiang and Su Sheng to handle it well. Compared with a wandering court, the scene was not too small.
A colorfully painted shed, musicians playing percussion instruments, baskets filled with candies, red dates and peanuts, and red carpet strips spread on the ground, everything was there. I don’t know where Huang Dabao, Huang Jiang and Su Sheng came from. Where did you get it?
There are three selected servants that Prince Zhu wants to accept this time, namely Ning Xiangyu, Fei Zhen'e, and Wu Sanmei. They are all selected servants. By proposing to Dongguo Gege, Zhu Cixiang just overpowered the Ning family. level, from a concubine to a chosen attendant, but she was ranked first among the three chosen attendants.
The second among the three selected attendants is Fei Zhen'e, a little vixen. It was Wu Sanmei who helped her fight for this position. Originally, Zhu Cixiang wanted her to continue to be a palace maid for a while, but Wu Sanmei got along well with her. She took the initiative to mention it to Zhu Cixiang and let Fei Zhen'e also be a selected attendant. In addition, Fei Zhen'e was ranked according to the time and age of entering the palace. Taking the second place, Wu Sanmei became the little one herself.
However, this ranking has nothing to do with being promoted to a concubine in the future. Whoever can become a crown princess after Zhu Cihong and Dongguo Gege's marriage is ruined will have to see whether they can live up to their expectations.
Mother is more valuable than son!
Of course, it all depends on Zhu Cixiang whether he is given a chance... Prince Zhu had already agreed with Wu Sanmei that the eldest son must come out of her belly. After the eldest son came out, Wu Sanmei was promoted to a concubine and a queen, and the son she gave birth to was the prince's grandson.
So Ning Xiangyu and Fei Zhen'e had to wait for a while before they could get in touch with Prince Zhu's rain and dew.
Zhu Cixiang was staying in his Fujun Grand Marshal's Mansion at this time. The etiquette of taking a concubine was different from that of marrying a wife. Prince Zhu did not have to pay homage to the three chosen attendants, he only had to wait for them to come to the door.
So Zhu Cihong used this time to talk to Li Ruolian who came from Dengzhou. Li Ruolian was the division commander of the left division of the new army in overcoming difficulties, and now he also served as the commander-in-chief of Denglai. This time, we came to Dagokou with the ship to report to Zhu Cihong the situation in Dengzhou.
