At this time, Dorgon was visiting the splendid Prince De's Palace in Jinan City, nodding in praise from time to time. He had to admit that to some extent, Prince De's Palace in Shengjing was better than the Qing Palace in Shengjing. Much more luxurious.
Along the way, his men could be seen from time to time, staying up all night, or busy moving valuables, or driving away the people in the palace like eagles catching chickens.
Although the eyes of these people under his command were all red, their expressions were of excitement. Even in the side room, there were the gasps of the beasts under his command, mixed with the suppressed cries of women. Near the road and in the gardens, corpses can be seen from time to time.
Dorgon didn't seem to see any of this, he was just admiring the luxurious Dewang Palace. After walking for a while, we arrived at the main hall of Prince De's Mansion. Here, all the most important figures in Prince De's Mansion were under centralized custody.
A leader in charge of guarding him immediately reported to him: "Master, this is King Zhu Youshu of virtue, and this is General Zhu Enshang of Fengguo..."
Dorgon looked at the frightened and trembling Ming vassal king as if appreciating an object. After listening to the introduction, he suddenly asked a little strangely: "Where is the concubine of Prince De's palace?"
Rising among the white mountains and black waters, across Liaodong, I have seen countless beauties of the Han people. But now that he could see the princess of the Ming Dynasty, Dorgon was somewhat curious and wanted to see her. But he found that among this crowd, there was no woman dressed as a princess. It can even be said that there are few women, which makes him a little strange.
When the leader saw it, a lewd smile appeared on his face, he turned around and pointed to the back hall and said: "Haugebele has come here first and is playing with the princesses in the back hall!"
When Dorgon heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Then he came back to his senses and couldn't help but sneer. Those who can't control their lower body are not worthy of being their opponents at all. They dare to go against themselves overtly and covertly. They are really looking for death!
With this in mind, he ordered the leader: "These people in Prince De's Mansion, including the concubines, are important prisoners this time. They must be escorted to Shengjing under good guard. Do you understand?"
The leader was stunned after hearing this, although in their tradition, it is normal for men and women to have indiscriminate relationships with each other. For example, among the concubines of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, there were other people's wives, and there were also direct aunts, sisters, and sisters who served the same husband, etc. But it seems a bit inappropriate to offer someone who Hauge had done to him, the emperor, right?
But on the surface, there seems to be no problem. This Ming Dynasty vassal prince and princess were captured for the first time by the Qing Dynasty. Such an important prisoner should really be presented to the emperor. After all, it was the one in the back hall who couldn't wait to see the princess of Ming Dynasty.
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to hesitate and agreed immediately.
Dorgon ignored the fat-headed and big-eared King De, and instead went to inspect King De's treasure house. After broadening his horizons, he returned to the military camp outside the city. Here, he saw Fan Yongdou waiting here, and said to him with a smile: "I didn't expect the Ming Dynasty vassal king to be really rich. I want to congratulate you this time!"
"Haha, we are all happy together!" Fan Yongdou couldn't hold back his joy after hearing this. This time, the Qing Dynasty plundered so much wealth that it would be unbelievable to have just one vassal palace. Looking back, if eight families had one share, that would be a lot of money. Thinking about this, he responded to Dorgon and said, "When ordinary people have money, they can buy more things for the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty will become stronger." !”
This is really a virtuous circle, mutually beneficial. The two of us looked at me and I looked at you, and both of us laughed together.
Because the worries caused by Lu Xiangsheng were gone, and he saw the prosperity of Jinan Mansion with his own eyes, Dorgon finally felt relieved and said to Fan Yongdou: "Then I will not send you off, sir. I have been very tired these days. , I’m going to rest.”
Fan Yongdou has finished his work here and has to rush back to Shanxi. Firstly, it is to communicate with others about the situation here; secondly, it is also necessary to prepare more supplies for the Qing Dynasty. After all, the Qing Dynasty has money, and the scale of trade will expand a lot. As a businessman, he naturally wanted to get all the money from the Qing Dynasty.
At this time, he saw Dorgon's tired face and knew that in order to capture Jinan, he had not had a good rest for several days, so he quickly handed over his hands and said: "I don't dare, please take care of yourself, Your Highness, the Qing Dynasty cannot do without Your Highness." .”
After saying goodbye, he left the camp, took his servants with him, and looked at the still smoking Jinan City. Hearing the faint screams that could still be heard from there, he looked outside the city gate and saw groups of soldiers being attacked by Manchu and Qing soldiers. Fan Yongdou expelled the crowd and said with an indifferent expression: "Let's go, don't let anyone see us."
When his servants heard this, they naturally had no objections. Like their master, they were indifferent to the tragic situation in Jinan and just protected their master's return to the north.
Shortly after Fan Yongdou left and Dorgon had just fallen asleep, some personal guards broke into the camp, kneeled down and reported: "Master, fifty miles to the south, the Ming army was found not to be taken in at night. It is suspected that the Ming army was The royal army of the country."
Upon hearing this, Dorgon couldn't help but be startled. They just captured Jinan here, and it would take several days just to plunder the population and materials. How could they discover King Qin's army?
But after he came to his senses, he didn't actually care. Jinan was captured, and the surrounding Ming army must have panicked. They were afraid that if the Ming emperor would blame them, they would definitely rescue them. Even if they knew they were defeated by the Qing army, they would at least make a show of it.
After thinking about it, he said nonchalantly: "Send some more people over to scare them. Just don't disturb Jinan City."
"Cha!" After hearing this, the personal guard immediately accepted the order. When he was about to retreat, he was stopped by Dorgon again. He frowned and thought for a moment, and then said: "Over there in the north, if If you find any trace of Lu Xiangsheng, report it immediately, and for the rest, please don’t disturb my rest!”
Obviously, among the Ming army, he was only worried about Lu Xiangsheng. But with Yue Tuo on Lu Xiangsheng's side, I believe nothing will happen. After all, it would definitely be many days before Lu Xiangsheng could react. By that time, Jinan City will already be in ruins.
However, just in case, he still made such an explanation. In Dorgon's view, he was already quite cautious. After all this was explained, I could finally have a good rest.
Naturally, the personal guard also knew that his master had not had a good rest in the past few days, so he immediately followed the order and left the camp, not daring to disturb his sleep again.
At the same time, Chen Xinjia, the governor of Xuanda, received the order. Although he did not understand why the emperor was so anxious to summon him, he did not dare to neglect and immediately rushed to the capital day and night. Because he knew that the major events that had happened in the south would definitely affect the emperor. If he procrastinates at that time, the emperor will be furious and it will be easy to take his anger out on him.
So, he rushed to the capital as soon as possible. He didn't dare to rest and went straight to the palace. When he passed through the Zhengyang Gate, he saw the head hanging above.
