All the officials in the yard were dumbfounded!
The emperor has descended! How can the emperor surrender? The emperor has surrendered, so how can the people below surrender? There's no way to negotiate this...
The Qing Dynasty is gone too! How could the Qing Dynasty just disappear? The country is gone, so which country do you guys belong to now? People from the Ming Dynasty? If you are a member of the Ming Dynasty, you cannot rebel against the Qing Dynasty, nor can you die for the Qing Dynasty...
While everyone was dumbfounded, Huang Zhisheng had already spoken: "Everyone, I originally wanted to lead troops to the capital with you to serve the king. But now that the emperor has surrendered, the Qing Dynasty is gone. Then we have no king to serve. ..... There are only three paths before us. One is to die for the Qing Dynasty. Although it is a little late, I really can't think of it, and I won't stop it. After all, some of you are still full.
The second is to abandon the official position and leave. Jinan is not far from Dengzhou. I am still the governor of Shandong. I can send Fu Biao to escort you to Dengzhou to live in seclusion. Everyone knows the rules of Dengzhou, so I won’t go into details. If there is a full member who is unwilling to die for his country, I suggest that he leave for Dengzhou immediately.
The third is to stick to their duties and wait for the Ming court to send someone to take over the place. Maybe we will be assigned a smaller official at that time. If not, we will lose our official position and go home! "
Huang Zhisheng made clear arrangements for the people below him, and he also specifically reminded the few members of the staff... to die for the country as early as possible, and to run away as early as possible!
Such a boss is so thoughtful and considerate. What else can the officials below say?
...
The news that the emperor surrendered to the enemy and the Qing Dynasty was gone began to spread like a storm in Zhili, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, Huaibei and other places.
And this is not just some gossip, but a copy of the meter reduction issued in the form of an imperial edict, bilingual in Manchu and Chinese, and using the treasure of the emperor - although this treasure of the Qing emperor seems to be slightly flawed, but The father-in-law and the guard who sent the copy were both correct, and there was no problem with the Manchu text on the copy.
There are also some officials who are more vigilant and follow the father-in-law, the guards, and the accompanying army guards to inquire about things in Beijing.
The things I heard were terrible!
First of all, Beijing must have fallen! Not only did Beijing fall, but also the nearby state capitals such as Tianjin, Yongping, and Zunhua.
Secondly, it is certain that Kangxi was captured! Not only the father-in-law, guards, and attendants who sent the surrender can prove it. There are also many banner slaves who did not go west with Kong Shenggong for various reasons, but fled quickly after the fall of Beijing, or Shanxi merchants who made a living in Beijing. They also saw with their own eyes or heard people talk about their emperor being pretended to be Transported out of Beijing in a cage... As for Kangxi himself, he thought the cage was quite good, so he sat in it. It is unknown whether it was Wang Fuchen, the nine-door admiral, who took Kangxi out of the Forbidden City and put him in a cage.
On March 15th, the second year of the Grand Duke (the 19th year of Kangxi), the three major bad news of the fall of Beijing, the emperor's surrender to the enemy, and the disappearance of the Qing Dynasty were personally delivered to Guihua City by Fan Chengxun, the prefect of Datong, and reported to the people who had just arrived in Guihua City. The Empress Dowager Bu Mu Butai settled down in Guihua City.
"The Empress Dowager, everyone who ran away from Beijing said so. Even a few old slaves in the slave family said they saw the emperor being put into a cage and transported out of Chaoyang Gate... Wow, wow wow , what should we do? The emperor has surrendered, what should we do? "
In the Yinfo Temple in Guihua City, which had been temporarily converted into a palace, an old man was heard crying so hard. Bumbutai was sitting on the kang, leaning forward, not knowing what he was thinking. The old lady's face was full of exhaustion, helplessness, confusion and grief - the good Qing Dynasty was gone. Woolen cloth? And her grandson Xuan Ye is clearly a wise king, maybe a little worse than her men Huang Taiji and Dorgon, but much better than her son Fulinke.
But how could such a wise king bring the good Qing Dynasty to this point?
Moreover, why did he surrender? It was not agreed before that when Chang Ning and the others were far away, he would break out of Beijing and meet up in Guihua City. Then we will decide whether to continue hunting in the West depending on the situation...
Kneeling in front of the old lady was Fan Chengxun, Fan Chengmo's brother who was executed after being caught by Zhu Heji in Ningbo. He was also Fan Wencheng's son and a very reliable slave. That’s why he was placed in Datong Prefecture, Shanxi Province—that’s where the naturalization protection center is!
As long as Datong and Xuanhua are still firmly controlled by the Qing Dynasty, then the Qing Dynasty, no, it should be the Northern Qing Dynasty, can continue to deal with the new Ming Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, such a reliable loyal slave of the Qing Dynasty would actually send such unreliable news to Bumbutai this time.
Aunt Sumala stood behind Bumbutai, also with a sad look on her face - she watched Kangxi grow up!
Prince Lu, Shenggong, and the political king Kong Yuqi had a chair next to Bumbutai, sitting in a dignified manner with their brows furrowed. Mingzhu, Li Fei, Doo Lide, and Feng Pu were on opposite sides of the south study room, and Prince Zhuang Boguoduo was also sitting on the side, all looking worried and frightened.
Fan Chengxun had finished speaking, and there was silence in the main hall. After an unknown amount of time, Bumu Butai slowly said: "It is impossible for the emperor to surrender! He must have died for his country... Holy Sir, what do you think?"
"Yes, yes, the emperor must have died for his country!" Although Kong Shenggong was a saint who "ruled from the top", he also understood that the emperor's sacrifice for his country and the emperor's surrender were two different things.
If the emperor surrendered, the Qing Dynasty would be gone! No one has anything to play with anymore, and everyone in the world has the surname Zhu.
If Kangxi died for his country, then Kangxi's crown prince Yinreng could ascend the throne and become the new emperor. And he, Kong Shenggong, can continue to be the political king together with Chang Ning, control the government, and do whatever he wants... Don't look at the sharp decline of the Qing Dynasty. It is estimated that south of the Great Wall of Zhili (excluding Xuanhua), Shanxi South of the Great Wall (excluding Datong), Shandong and Henan will all be lost!
However, Shaanxi, Gansu, General Shengjing's jurisdiction, Monan Mongolia, Mobei Mongolia, Dongdao Mongolia, Datong Prefecture and Xuanhua Prefecture should still be able to hold on.
If luck is better, the suzerainty of Snow Region, Western Region, and Desert Mongolia should be able to be maintained.
In fact, Zhou Peigong and others have already analyzed it for Kong Shenggong. The reason why the Qing Dynasty was so miserable was not because it was too weak, but because its enemy, the New Ming Dynasty, was too strong - in terms of military, finance, population, and magic. In many other aspects, it can crush the Qing Dynasty!
And the Qing Dynasty's own national population was too small, and it was unable to mobilize the Han people in the north... This was a fight between hundreds of thousands and tens of millions! And they even lined up to be shot!
However, even if the Qing Dynasty becomes the Northern Qing Dynasty, as long as it can stabilize its position and avoid the new Ming Dynasty, there is still a lot to be done!
"What do you think?" Bumbutai asked several ministers and a prince around him.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...The Emperor has died for his country!"
"Wow...the emperor passed away!"
"emperor......"
The "acting skills" of these people are much better than that of Kong Shenggong. They went straight to the painful scene - and cried!
"The Empress Dowager, since the emperor died for the country, the country must not be without a king for a day!" Kong Shenggong was not in the mood to cry. He was now a powerful warlord, so of course he had to intervene in the "abolition of the establishment" - this is also Zhou Peigong and others taught that they should first support and then depose the emperor, and then they can use the emperor to control the princes. In the end, of course, they will usurp the throne!
Of course Bumubutai would not have thought that the always honest and honest Kong Shenggong would have such thoughts. When she heard what Kong Shenggong mentioned, she could only sigh: "Since the late emperor established a prince, it is natural for him to ascend the throne and become the emperor. Now the prince is in harmony Come with Prince Gong, and when they arrive, the crown prince will be officially enthroned."
Mingzhu reminded at this time: "The Empress Dowager, people everywhere are in panic now, which is extremely detrimental to us. Why not inform the world first and announce that the late emperor died for the country and the prince ascended the throne to calm people's hearts."
Bumbutai nodded and said: "Mingzhu, you are still thoughtful, so hurry up and draft the decree!"
"嗻!"
