"The regent has shown me great kindness, and I can hardly repay it even if my body is shattered to pieces!"
Hearing that Dorgon still believed in him, Hong Chengchou was so moved that he cried. He kowtowed to Dorgon several times, but he did not follow Dorgon's words and withdraw, not because he could further win Dorgon's trust. Save your head, but really do it for the Qing Dynasty!
"I still have something to say!" Hong Chengchou said with tears, "This prince of the Zhu family is amazing! I did not reveal the prince's plan. He expected that we were going to raid Dagokou, so he set up a plan." Ambush... This person is really the biggest scourge of our Qing Dynasty!"
"Really?" Dorgon said in a calm voice.
Hong Chengchou wiped his tears and said: "Your Majesty, now I am worried about another situation in Datong and Beijing. It seems that I was wrong to advocate letting Zhu Cijiong and Wang Yongji go. The crown prince of the Zhu family probably has arrangements. In addition, there is the city of Beijing. .....”
"Beijing City?" Dorgon snorted coldly, "A group of ministers who have become thieves still dare to resist the Qing heavenly soldiers? Aren't they afraid that the heavenly soldiers will massacre the city?"
"No way..." Hong Chengchou heard Dorgon mention the massacre and quickly stopped him.
"Hong Chengchou, what did you say?" Fan Wencheng shouted loudly, "Whenever the heavenly soldiers arrive, those who resist first and then attack the city will always be massacred as a warning to others!"
Hong Chengchou gritted his teeth and kowtowed to Dorgon: "Your Majesty, Beijing is the most virtuous place in the world. You must not kill people to shock people! In the past, when the bandits broke into the city, they always pretended that they had done nothing wrong. We, the Qing Dynasty, are benevolent and righteous. How can we massacre our masters? Do we still want the hearts of the people in the world? Moreover, if the officials and people of the capital dare to resist the heavenly soldiers, they must have fallen into the trap of the Zhu Thief Prince. It is the Zhu Thief Prince who should be killed, not the officials and people of the capital!"
"Really?" Dorgon's tone was cold, "Do you think the Qing Dynasty needs the hearts of the world?"
"Hong Chengchou!" Fan Wencheng knew that Dorgon had murderous thoughts, and he shouted, "The prince has told you to retreat! Why are you still talking here? Why don't you leave quickly? Aren't you afraid of the prince's wrath?"
Hong Chengchou shuddered, the prince is a Tatar who kills without blinking an eye! Killing you, a fifth-class man, is not like crushing an ant?
Thinking of this, even a loyal slave like Hong Chengchou had no choice but to kowtow to Dorgon again and left in despair.
Dorgon watched Hong Chengchou leave and turned his attention to Fan Wencheng.
"Your Majesty, I think Hong Chengchou thinks too much," Fan Wencheng said, "What can happen to Datong and the capital? Jiang Yu of Datong is a villain who has fallen with the wind. He betrayed the Ming Dynasty once before and was the culprit of the fall of the capital. Now you dare to turn back? As for the group of ministers in the capital city, they have no soldiers and generals, why should they resist the heavenly soldiers?"
Dorgon snorted: "Just watch!"
Duduo said: "Brother Fourteen, we suffered a lot from stuttering in Dagu, we can't let it go like this!"
Dorgon nodded: "It's true that we can't just let it go... Lao Shiwu, hurry up and round up the people who ran back, including Geng Zhongming. Be sure to block the news!
After you have circled it, go and ask in person, and be sure to ask clearly the ins and outs of the matter! We Eight Banners heavenly soldiers are not afraid of losing, but we must lose clearly and know where we lose! "
Duduo nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away."
After Duduo left, Dorgon said to Fan Wencheng: "Go and tell the Ming envoy that Geng Zhongming violated my order and went south to plunder without authorization, which led to a misunderstanding. But I still hope that the two countries will We can get married... I have agreed to the marriage, but Dongguo is young, only 6 years old this year, and cannot get married, so he has to wait for another ten years.
In addition, in the future, the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty should be divided in the same way as the Liao and Song Dynasties in history. The hometown of the sixteen states of Yanyun should be ceded to the Qing Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty also needs to give the Qing Dynasty one million taels of annual coins.
If Ming Dynasty agrees to my king’s conditions, then I will make an alliance with Prince Ming Dynasty in Weihe! "
Fan Wencheng frowned and said, "My lord, is this condition too generous?"
Dorgon said coldly: "Let's take it one step at a time. If we can capture half of the northern half, I will certainly disdain the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture. If we can unify the world, I will not stop in the north. But now I don't know how big the world will be." What's going on over there in Gukou? What if the prince of the Zhu family can really fight? In addition, there might be twists and turns over there in Datong... so don't think too much!"
Fan Wencheng bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Of course the prince is wise, and he also has a very effective crow's mouth. Prince Zhu is really good at fighting, and there are real twists and turns in Datong!
On the same day as the Battle of Dagukou, a full-scale martial arts fight took place in Datong City. Jiang Yu, the Datong general of the Dashun Dynasty, suddenly launched an attack and led his servants to fight in Datong City with Zhang Tianlin and Ke Tianxiang's troops who were left by Li Zicheng to monitor Jiang Yu.
Contrary to the expectations of Zhang Tianlin, Ke Tianxiang and others, the combat effectiveness of the former Datong Zhenming Army under Jiang Yu was quite powerful! In the historical Datong Wuzi Incident, the Datong soldiers and civilians who rebelled persisted from December of the fifth year of Shunzhi to October of the sixth year of Shunzhi before they were extinguished by the Qing army due to food shortages and internal rebellion. If they could resist Li Zicheng with all their strength during the Wuzi Revolution, Li Zicheng would not be able to reach Beijing at all...
But it happened that General Jiang Da from Datong Town was a man with strange ideas. He had the strength to resist Li Zicheng, but he wanted to surrender. After surrendering, he regretted it because Li Zicheng frightened him (pretending to kill him, a traitor), and always wanted to go back to the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, after the news of Li Zicheng's defeat in Beijing and the arrival of Luo Xiu Shen in Datong with the decree of the Prince of Fujun, Jiang Quan felt that the time was ripe and launched a mutiny. Zhang Tianlin and Ke Tianxiang were caught off guard and both were killed.
After a bloody battle, Datong Fucheng once again became the territory of the Ming Dynasty!
"Commander Luo, I thought the bandits were so powerful, but they turned out to be nothing more than that. If I had known that they were only capable of this, they would have stopped being rebellious!"
In the lobby of the General Military Office of Datong Town, a man in his forties, with a big beard and a ferocious look was sitting behind the desk with his sword in hand, pointing at two bloody bullets placed on the desk. head, while talking to Luo Xiushen who was sitting next to him.
These two are the heads of Zhang Tianlin and Ke Tianxiang who Li Zicheng stayed in Datong Mansion to monitor Jiang Yu! Among them, Zhang Tianlin was also Jiang Quan's savior. He was the one who interceded for mercy when Li Zicheng pretended to kill Jiang Quan.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu could turn his face faster than flipping through a book...
Luo Xiushen looked at Zhang Tianlin's head and felt a little chill down his spine. He took a breath of the blood-smelling air and forced a smile: "Chief Rong, Qiantose Master also has an order for me to hand it over to you after you succeed. Here you go."
"Really?" Jiang Yan smiled, "Then take it out quickly."
The order is given, shouldn't it be received respectfully? Just take it out like this?
Luo Xiushen glanced at his bloody head, but still took out another decree that Zhu Cihong had given him before leaving Beijing. Then he stood up, walked to Jiang Yu, and handed the decree over with both hands.
Jiang Yan took the order, opened it and looked at it, then frowned.
"Master Chitose expected that the Manchu Tatars would seek to seize Beizhili and Shanxi?" Jiang Quan said, "Didn't they already borrow the help of teachers to suppress them?"
Luo Xiu Shen smiled bitterly: "You have to ask the fallen official about this from the main town. I haven't seen Master Qiantose for some days... This order was given to Master Qiantose before he left Beijing on March 20th." A subordinate."
"At that time, Master Qiantui expected that the Manchu Tatars would come to seize Datong Mansion?"
"It's essential to be on guard against others." Luo Xiu said, "It's always good for Master Chitose to ask us to prepare early... The Tatars have strong soldiers. Although Datong is a powerful city, it can't withstand the siege for many years. , so it is still necessary to establish a base in the Taihang Mountains."
Jiang Quan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Commander Luo is bad, besieging the city is not that easy... Datong City is so big, it can't be surrounded without tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers are eaten by horses. The amount of food and grass consumed is quite staggering! I currently have 6 months of food stored in Datong City. If I collect some more and gather enough food for a year, I don’t believe that the Tatars can besiege the city for a year!"
