"Your Majesty, the slave chief Aixinjueluo Dorgon has not been discovered yet. No one is alive and no body is found dead!" Sun Yingyuan said with a little shame when he spoke, "In the melee last night, a few captives should have broken through. The general thought that that The slave chief may have escaped."
When he said this, the other generals and supervisors, along with Sun Yingyuan, knelt down on one knee and apologized to Emperor Chongzhen: "This general is incompetent, please punish me!"
The enemy general is a big fish. If you can catch it, it will be perfect. However, the enemy commander is also the focus of protection, so there are very few battles where the enemy commander can be captured, unless the enemy commander himself does not want to escape.
Emperor Chongzhen heard what they said and looked at them kneeling down to plead guilty. He smiled and said, "Get up, everyone. Even if Dorgon escapes, he will not be able to escape far."
Having said this, he nodded again and said: "Where is He Qing?"
"The general is here!" He Renlong responded immediately after hearing this.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and said confidently: "I expected that Dorgon would not be able to escape far. According to the terrain near Tashan, if he breaks out, he will probably rest by the river about five miles away. You take a group of people with you. Thousands of cavalry troops, surround that side and capture him for me!"
In fact, there is no need to say that Emperor Chongzhen is likely at all, but absolute. Because he learned from the Class C eavesdropping seeds on Dorgon that Dorgon did not dare to ride a horse last night under the protection of his personal guards. He luckily escaped from the encirclement under the cover of night and hurriedly hurriedly waited until the riverside. By that time, I was exhausted and was resting there to regain my strength!
He sent He Renlong to lead a thousand cavalry to surround it. Dorgon and his bodyguards, a mere dozen of them, could be captured no matter what. Even if there are no living ones, there are always dead ones.
At this time, although Emperor Chongzhen did not speak in an absolute tone, he still shocked the general soldiers and supervisors. They felt that the emperor was really not surprising and would not stop until he died. Could it be that the slave chief's movements could be predicted by the emperor? This is simply incredible!
To be honest, they were very curious and wanted to know if Dorgon really had to escape to rest by the river as Emperor Chongzhen said.
He Renlong was also very curious. After hearing the emperor's order, he immediately accepted it and turned around, wanting to lead his troops to have a look immediately.
But at this time, Emperor Chongzhen's voice sounded again, and he said with a hint of helplessness: "Hey Qing, wait a moment, do you recognize Dorgon?"
"..." When He Renlong heard this, he was immediately stunned. He didn't recognize it!
Emperor Chongzhen shook his head in his heart, he was still a little too cruel!
With this in mind, he turned around and said to Wu Zhong, the commander of the Jinyiwei who was standing on the side: "Wu Qing, come with us!"
Wu Zhong had been with Jianlu for so long that he even became Huang Taiji's son-in-law. Of course he knew the senior officials of Jianlu, including Dorgon.
The emperor had a decree, so Wu Zhong certainly agreed. Then he and He Renlong quickly walked out of the central military tent. Soon, the sound of horse hooves sounded and they quickly went away.
Emperor Chongzhen naturally would not wait for the arrest result of He Renlong like this. Regarding yesterday's battle, he asked some more details and fully understood the situation.
After that, he first praised the merits of the generals, and then said with a serious face: "I have received news that the puppet emperor of Jianlu, leading the main force of Jianlu, is currently stationed at Zhenjiang Fort on the Yalu River and will soon invade North Korea. Now the Governor of Baoding is helping North Korea in Pyongyang. If the main force of the rebels suddenly invades, it will be in danger. Therefore, I thought, I must rescue him!"
After confirming the battle situation last night, the enemy of Tashan was determined in one battle, and the losses on his side were very small. Then Emperor Chongzhen changed his mind and decided that this time his personal expedition would no longer just be an attack on Tashan.
Hearing what he said, all the commanders and supervisors couldn't help but become serious, waiting for the emperor's next words.
But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves could be clearly heard from the Chinese military tent, coming from far to near. The people in the Chinese military tent knew as soon as they heard that it was He Renlong's return.
Suddenly, their attention couldn't help but focus on He Renlong, wondering in their hearts whether the slave chief Dorgon was really where the emperor said he was, and whether He Renlong had put Dorgon there. Captured or killed?
Emperor Chongzhen only needs to look at the news about the eavesdropping seeds to know how well He Renlong's mission was completed? However, he had been busy just now and did not read the news. At this time, he heard the sound of horse hooves and went to read the text returned by the eavesdropping seed. He couldn't help but feel very satisfied and said with a smile: "He Qing must be back. , judging from the time, it should be fruitful."
"..." In this regard, these people in the Chinese military tent are not stupid, so they are a bit speechless. In terms of time, it is possible that they will find nothing, not even a person. How can the emperor be so sure?
Although they had such thoughts in their hearts, the emperor was so calculating that most people just believed it and waited to hear He Renlong's report.
Sure enough, after a while, after He Renlong received the notification, he and Wu Zhong walked in together.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the two of them. Seeing their expressions, they immediately understood that the emperor was right again!
I saw He Renlong and Wu Zhong, both excited and full of admiration. They both replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "The general has captured the slave chief Dorgon alive according to the order."
"Haha, good job!" Emperor Chongzhen heard this, smiled and praised, and then ordered, "Bring him in!"
Dorgon was just outside the Chinese army's tent. With the emperor's order, he was immediately taken into the Chinese army's tent.
When everyone saw it, they were a little surprised. Because in their impression, this Dorgon is less than thirty years old, and he should be a very shrewd person. But what they saw now was a very decadent man who looked like a fat man in his forties. Judging from this appearance, it has nothing to do with being shrewd!
Dorgon didn't resist. He forced him to kneel down, and he knelt down without struggling. His eyes were a little dull, as if he was letting a human being become a human being.
The people in the Chinese army tent couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him. After all, he was a famous figure in the Jianlu army, but he lost so miserably in this battle. It seemed that he was hit hard!
Regarding Dorgon, Emperor Chongzhen can be said to have been famous for a long time, both in his previous life and in this life. Before, he also wanted to see what kind of person Dorgon was, the figure who had influenced Huang Taiji and the regent who had a great influence on the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Now when he saw it, he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. In fact, he was just a fat man. At most, he was a strong man! If you want to be charming and suave, you still have to look at the son of the Han family!
It can be seen that the battle last night was a huge blow to Dorgon.
At this moment, Dorgon suddenly raised his head, and instead of looking at the Ming Emperor, he stared at Wu Zhong, his face became a little ferocious, and he shouted sternly: "Tell me, was it you who tipped off the Ming army?"
Hearing him speak, no one expected that his first words were actually directed at Wu Zhong.
When Wu Zhong heard this, he turned to look at Emperor Chongzhen, not sure whether he should answer or not.
When we went to capture Dorgon just now, it was precisely because Dorgon was stunned when he saw him appearing that he gave the Ming army soldiers the opportunity to capture Dorgon alive.
Emperor Chongzhen understood the look Wu Zhong was looking at him, and he already had a plan in mind, so he said, "Wu Qing is my colleague and commander of the Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty. If you know anything about the military situation, isn't it natural to report it to me?"
Hearing him speak, Dorgon turned around and looked over. Naturally, he knew in his heart that this was the Ming Emperor.
From what Emperor Ming Dynasty meant, it seemed that Wu Zhong really had the message. Suddenly, he became angry.
From last night until now, he was really hit hard by last night's battle. He really couldn't figure it out. On the first night when the Ming army arrived, he sized up the situation and immediately used the method of attacking from the east to the west, and the entire army broke through the encirclement immediately. Logically speaking, it is impossible for the Ming army to stop him from breaking through in any case.
However, what he never expected was that he fell into a trap that had been laid by the Ming army. As a result, he was completely defeated and could not even show the strength of his army. It was a disastrous defeat! If no one had tipped off the Ming army in advance, he would not believe it even if he were killed.
Therefore, he was already a bit possessed by the devil, and he always wanted to know who had tipped him off and harmed him and Tashan's more than 10,000 troops!
At this time, when he suddenly saw the Qing Dynasty's prince-in-law and led troops and people to arrest him, he was greatly shocked. Regardless of whether it was justified or not, he began to suspect that Wu Zhong had betrayed the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, after being deliberately induced by Emperor Chongzhen, he immediately thought without thinking that it was Wu Zhong who had tipped off the news.
Of course, Wu Zhong was not in the city. Logically speaking, he should not know about his battle plan and there was no way to inform him. However, he thought on his own and thought that one of his men had been bribed by Wu Zhong, and then notified Wu Zhong outside the city through a method unknown to him.
Therefore, at this moment, he thought he had found the culprit, and he was so angry that he struggled and wanted to pounce on Wu Zhong to kill Wu Zhong.
When the two captains of the imperial guards escorting him saw him, they immediately grabbed his shoulders firmly and pressed him tightly, preventing him from getting up.
"Is it necessary to be so angry?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but sneered when he saw it, and then said, "When the two armies are fighting, they will do whatever they can. It's your own incompetence, so why blame others? If you lose, you lose!"
Hearing this, the struggling Dorgon was quiet for a moment, and then suddenly looked up and stared at Wu Zhong, his face full of anger, and said loudly: "You have killed so many Qing warriors, you will not die well!"
After shouting like this, he turned to look at Emperor Chongzhen and said sternly: "My dear emperor, you may not have expected that this Wu Zhong is my consort of the Qing Dynasty. He married the third princess of the Qing Dynasty as his wife. The princess who invaded your King De's wife, this kind of person, is greedy for life and afraid of death, and will be a disaster sooner or later..."
When they heard what he said, the commander-in-chief and supervisors in the Chinese military tent were immediately shocked and looked at Wu Zhong one after another. They really didn't expect that Wu Zhong would have such a thing. Not only was he Jianlu's "consort" , and also invaded and occupied Princess Dewang. If this is true, the emperor will probably not let him go, right?
They are not fools. Although they know that Wu Zhong will probably deny it, the slave chief Dorgon should not make up such a thing, it is probably true.
Wu Zhong also didn't expect that Dorgon would say it on such an occasion, and he was stunned. Then, he quickly explained: "In order to take advantage of me, you wanted to return me to the Ming Dynasty to work for you, so you set up a fairy trap to frame me, and then you wanted to use that stinky woman to bribe me..."
"Lies!" Dorgon roared and shouted sternly, "You want to marry me, the third princess of the Qing Dynasty, but you proposed it yourself!"
When Wu Zhong heard this, he also sneered and said: "Not only did that stinky bitch look tall and thick, but she also killed my Han people like chickens and dogs. She had no humanity at all. She even sent people to chase me and wanted to kill me. She was killed. I had no choice but to propose to marry her, so that I could have the opportunity to retaliate against her severely and teach her how to behave, haha, I have never even touched a woman like this!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have used foul language in front of the emperor, so he bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty clearly knows that everything the general said is true."
As for Dorgon, he was dumbfounded. If Wu Zhong had never touched the third princess, how could the third princess be pregnant?
Thinking of this, he immediately remembered that, judging from the time, there was indeed something wrong with the princess's big belly!
While he was thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen also spoke and said to him: "Wu Qing was sent by me to lurk in Liaodong. Shanxi merchants colluded with Jianlu. It was Wu Qing who saw that Shanxi merchants were fighting against so many people in Jianlu's army." Ergun met and sent the news, and the battle of Tianjin was also due to Wu Qing. Wu Qing was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and I also knew it. I had also received news about what happened in Liaodong a long time ago, and it was indeed like Wu Qing What you said. It is precisely because of Wu Qing’s merits that he was promoted from the commander of the Jinyiwei to the commander of the Jinyiwei. So, are you satisfied?"
Dorgon was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know these things in advance. Thinking of his first defeat after leading the army, and the impact of the destruction of Shanxi merchants on the Qing Dynasty, he couldn't help but hate Wu Zhong. When he was about to speak, Emperor Chongzhen spoke to him again: "You captives are vulgar and barbaric. You are murderous and inhumane. As long as possible, who will sincerely surrender to you? Most of the three thousand Han military flags in the east of the city surrendered on the spot, and they did not sacrifice their lives for you at all. There are others, The Jurchens who were not found in Jianzhou were actually forced by you and had no choice. Now that I’m here, just watch it. There will be more people, people you can’t imagine, who will rebel against you one after another. No. , is to abandon darkness and turn to light!"
