Shengjing, Qing Imperial Palace
The scene here is already the most panicked day of leaving the temple!
Inside and outside the palace, people were walking in and out in a panic. Outside the Chongzheng Hall, large plumes of black smoke were already rising, and documents and letters began to be burned one after another. The white-armored soldiers standing guard were all dejected, and they could no longer hide the panic on their faces.
Prince Yu Doni, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, stood in front of the corridor and watched the few pen tips around him busy burning the "evidence" - in fact, his crime could not be covered up at all. If it really fell into the hands of the Ming army, it would be A dead end!
However, the northeastern area outside the Pass is now covered in ice and snow, and it is not the season for war and troops at all. Therefore, after driving Doni back to Shenyang, the Ming army did not attack the city. Instead, they stationed their troops in Liaoyang and garrisoned Shaling Dun in one step, ending the eleventh year of Hongxing's war.
By the way, while the main forces of both sides were launching a general battle, Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan, Yizhou, Jinzhou, Heishanpu, Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou, Haizhou and other places had been successively captured by the Ming army.
In the past, the Ming Dynasty's Liaodong General Military Area (Liaodong Dusi Area), only Shenyang, Fushun, Tieling, Liaohai and other places were still under the control of the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, most of the vast Nurgan Capital Territory was still controlled by the Qing army.
However, the Qing Dynasty, which seemed to have a large territory, was actually at the end of its power! Because in the battles in the early winter of the 11th year of Hongxing's reign, Doni, the regent who did not know how to fight, had already wiped out the last capital of the Qing Dynasty. Now there are only more than 20,000 fighting troops left, of which less than 10,000 are real Old Manchus, and the rest are Han, Sauron, and Barhu people...
At this point, Donnie had no choice but to convene a meeting with the generals. They discussed and discussed, but in the end they only came up with two solutions.
One is to run away.
Shenyang cannot be defended...Fushun, Tieling, and Liaohai cannot be defended. We can only retreat to the east of Fushun Pass, relying on the mountainous areas, with Hetuala Castle as the frontier, and the Xingkai Lakeside Jianzhou and Heilongjiang were the rear areas and continued to deal with the Ming army.
Of course, this escape plan can only hide for a while. Because the fighting power of the Ming army was too strong, especially those who landed at the mouth of the Liaohe River, they were simply inhuman! Even if they hide in the mountains, with less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, they can't stop this group of wolves and tigers from the Ming army.
And now that Dhoni is in such a predicament, how many people are willing to follow him? If you follow him again, won't you die?
Therefore, running away will not last long. This is just to buy time for the second plan.
The second option, of course, is to help Princess!
Of course Ge Ge is Dong Ge Ge, and people like Donnie know that Dong Ge is favored, but Ajige is always punished... It seems that he is a doormat, so begging her is useless. All I can do is ask Dongguo Gege for help!
Doni no longer wants Liaodong and Liaoxi. He is even willing to cede one of Jianzhou and Heilongjiang. As long as he can be the Protector of Jianzhou or the Protector of Heilongjiang, he will be satisfied.
One of Doni's confidants ran in from outside, came to Doni and bowed to him: "Your Majesty, Monk General General is here."
Donny said: "Please come quickly!"
It turns out that Azig is here. Doni's uncle is now Nurhachi's only remaining son. During this time, he is busy digging graves - not fighting upside down, but digging the graves of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji... .Their coffins must be dug out and transported to a blessed place near Yunding in Changbai Mountain for reburial.
Not only is this a big project, it also has to be carried out secretly. Otherwise, if the news leaks out, the Ming Dynasty might send people to Yunding to dig the grave!
Now that he was done with the work of digging graves and burying people, Azig finally had time to return to Shenyang. As soon as he entered the city, he was invited into the palace by Doni.
Of course, the purpose of Donnie inviting him to the palace was to ask him to go to North Korea and ask the Queen Regent of North Korea, Dongguo, to intercede with the Emperor Zhu Cixiang.
Azig, who had been entrusted by Doni, did not dare to delay. He took a few novice monks out of Shenyang the next day. Despite the heavy snow and the mountain closures, he detoured through the Hetuala Mountains and went straight to Yiju, North Korea. Finally, he arrived on Hongxing 11 At the end of the year, together with Bahana who ran away from Jinzhou Black Mountain Fort (Bahana ran to the Yalu River, and then crossed the river into Yiju, North Korea, where he met Azige) and arrived in Wangjing, North Korea. Hanyang.
"Gege...Doni really suffered a heavy defeat this time. He lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Liaodong and western Liaoning were also completely lost. Now there are only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses left. The territory has been restored." There are quite a few, but the population is extremely short, and there is an even greater shortage of strong men. It is really a big loss! Look, what should we do now? Can the Chinese government spare us?"
In the Seonjeongjeon of Changdeokgung Palace, the great monk Azig was sighing and talking softly to the Korean regent Queen Donggu who was sitting on her knees.
Dongguo Gege listened expressionlessly, as if he was listening to something that had nothing to do with him. After Azig finished speaking, she was silent for a while, and then she said calmly: "Uncle Twelve, did you mention that among us, Donnie is the culprit?"
"What?" Azig frowned, "Doni can't be spared?"
Dongguo giggled: "Uncle Twelve, you yourself said that things are getting serious... If this battle ends, hundreds of thousands of people will die, right?"
Azig nodded: "I'm afraid there is... Even if there is not now, there will be famine later! Alas, so many strong men died, what a sin! Amitabha!"
"Shouldn't there be a culprit?" Dongguo asked.
"That's what it should be..." Azig said, "But this culprit is still in power. If the heaven doesn't let him go, I'm afraid people will still die!"
"Will the emperor care?" Dongguo asked.
"Of course I don't care, but can the emperor not care about the land of Heilongjiang?" Azig said, "The Rakshasa Kingdom has been coveting this place for a long time, and it relies on Manchuria's elite troops to defend it. If Manchuria is destroyed, who will guard the land of Heilongjiang for the emperor?" "
Dong Ge nodded: "That's a reason... But Doni still can't stay! Otherwise, how will the emperor's face be saved? Later, people didn't know how to learn the lesson, and waited twenty or thirty years to regain their strength. , maybe there will be chaos again!”
"This..." Azig shook his head, "Apart from Donnie, who can replace him? Yue Le?"
Dong Go shook his head and said: "Do you still want the people of the Aixinjueluo family to control the two vassals?"
"Then... let Ao Bai serve as the guardian?" Azig asked again.
Dongguo snorted: "Is the emperor raising troops for the Guarjia clan?"
"This..." Azig couldn't think of it anymore, "Then who can take charge of the two vassals?"
"Of course she is of the Tian family's blood!" Dongguo giggled, "Ajige is already pregnant..."
"What?" Azige was stunned, "Gege, you mean... the emperor wants to establish two vassals in Anton and Heilongjiang?"
Dongguo smiled: "Uncle Twelve, how do you think I became the regent of North Korea?"
That’s right!
Azige finally understood, how could Dongguo Gege be so powerful? Zhu Cixiang must be causing trouble behind the scenes!
Didn't Zhu Cixiang allow Dongguo Gege to be the regent of North Korea to pave the way for his son to become the King of North Korea? Dongguo's son can be the king of Korea, so what's wrong with Ajige's son being the lord of a feudal town?
Dongguo Gege then said: "Uncle Twelve, now that the emperor has many heirs, he must have a place to arrange it! He wants to learn from Emperor Taizu in setting up a palace to protect the royal family... So Anton and Heilongjiang There is always a way out for the feudal generals, but the only one with no way out is Dorney!
As for Uncle Twelve, are you afraid that you don’t have a country-protecting mage who can do it? If the Ming Dynasty does not have a protector of the country, we in North Korea can also have a protector of the country, and the descendants of the twelfth uncle can be hereditary! "
"But..." Azig hesitated, "But it's not easy to get rid of him!"
Dongguo said: "Isn't it easy? Uncle Twelve... Ajige has deposited 500,000 taels of silver in Jiabusi's Jiale City Bank, and he can give it to Uncle Twelve for sports. As long as Doni Is one door enough?"
A smile appeared on Azig's face, obviously satisfied, "It's just Dhoni, I can give it a try..."
