Ming Zuo

Chapter 862 Chongzhen's life-saving straw

Huangtai Ji Jianyuan proclaimed himself emperor and sat facing the south.All the ministers kowtowed and Siyi bowed down.

The tiger under his command marched south to the Ming Dynasty, destroying the city and pulling out the stronghold, without any disadvantages.

The Daqing River and Mountains looked prosperous and prosperous.

It stands to reason that he should be satisfied and happy.

However, it is not.

Huang Taiji was in a bad mood.

There is only one reason.

Sahalian is dead.

At the beginning of the year, Sahalian was ill, but no one cared about it at the time, thinking it was just a minor illness.

Who would have expected that Sahalian's condition became worse and worse day by day, and he gradually became exhausted.

When Huang Taiji ascended the throne, Sahalian was sick and tried his best to preside over it, exhausting his vitality for the last time.

Just after Azig and Haoge led the army, Sahalian came to the end of his life.

Huang Taiji only had time to see him for the last time, and without saying a few words, he sent away his most trusted confidant.

Sakhalian's death dealt a big blow to Huang Taiji.

Although they are Daishan's sons, Sahalian and Yuetuo are Huang Taiji's confidantes.

There were rumors within the Qing Dynasty: Manchen Sahalian, Hanchen Fan Wencheng.

These two people can be said to be Huang Taiji's right-hand men, and they have made great contributions to him.Coupled with Yue Tuo, who is capable of writing and martial arts, Huang Taiji is in power, and his authority is growing day by day.

But now looking at his side again, Huang Taiji couldn't help feeling sad.

Fan Wencheng died in Zunhua in the second year of Chongzhen, and now Sahalian is also dead.

Yue Tuo has been ill since he was seriously injured last time. He has been bedridden for more than half of the year and can only deal with some civil affairs.

As for leading the army to go out, it is simply impossible.

Even so, Huang Taiji recruited well-known doctors from all over Manchuria, Han and Mongolia to diagnose and treat Yuetuo, but the conclusions were all very bad.

All the doctors said that Yue Tuo had at most two or three years to live.

Losing three confidant ministers one after another made Huang Taiji's ascension to the throne and proclaiming emperor look bleak.

At this time, Azig's memorial to attack the capital was delivered to him, which immediately angered him.

"Azige is stupid, the vitality of the Ming Dynasty is still there, and there are still many good soldiers and good generals. If you attack the capital at this time, wouldn't you fall into an ambush from all sides and seek your own death?"

He saw Hauge's signature under the memorial, and wanted to curse again.

Before he could make a sound, the attendant ran in and presented the memorial again.

"Your Majesty, Prince Su urgently reports."

Huang Taiji was quite surprised, held back his anger, took the memorial and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but turn his anger into joy.

"Unexpectedly, Hauge has grown up. Come on, reply to King Wuying and Prince Su. Tell them not to act rashly, and they should return to the court as teachers. If there is any delay, they will be dealt with by military law."

The people below quickly drafted an order and sent it out on the same day.

What was also passed on was Huang Taiji's praise of Hauge.

The emperor's every move is bound to be looked at by everyone, and Hauge's leadership of the army has been praised outside, and the meaning of it is unavoidable to be thought-provoking.

Dorgon learned of what had happened a little later, and couldn't help but grieve.

"Azige is impulsive and reckless, how can he make his own decisions? After this incident, he will definitely be hated by His Majesty."

Dodo didn't feel much.

Anyway, he and Azig are not close, this brother is not unlucky, so he doesn't care.

He cares more about other things.

"Haoge is so stupid. I didn't expect to be so transparent this time. Could it be that this person has really changed his sex?"

Dorgon's face was covered with haze, and he shook his head slowly.

"The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. I can't figure out what happened to this matter. I need to be careful in the future, and I can't let it fall into Hauge's hands."

Huang Taiji's strict order was quickly delivered to the front line, Azige was disgraced, but Hauge was praised.

The stark contrast between the two coaches left a deep mark on the hearts of the soldiers of the Eight Banners.

Azig did not dare to disobey Huang Taiji's anger, so he ordered the withdrawal of the army that day.

Anyway, they have been out for long enough. Within four months, they swept through more than [-] cities in the north and west of the capital, looting more than [-] people, [-] livestock, and hundreds of thousands of treasures.

With the results of this battle, Hou Jin was able to breathe a sigh of relief.It can not only survive the next severe winter, but also provide support for the conquest of North Korea.

Faced with the actions of the Qing army, all the Ming troops remained indifferent.

Firstly, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to fight against the Qing army; secondly, they didn't get the general order to send troops, so they were at a loss and didn't know what to do.

Why didn't you get an order?
Because Zhang Fengyi and Liang Tingdong finally died.

They also knew that they had committed a serious crime this time, and they would definitely be severely punished by Chongzhen afterwards.

In order to avoid being ransacked and exterminated, he simply swallowed rhubarb day and night and committed suicide.

Having lost the two coaches, the various Ming armies did not know what to do, so they could only stop and watch.

Only Gao Qiqian led Zu Dashou to follow the Qing army in fear, but he didn't dare to make a move, like a bodyguard escorting him.

It was learned that Lu Xiangsheng had arrived at the Xuan Mansion to take over as the governor of Xuan Da, and he had made strict arrangements.After discussing with Haoge, Azig did not return by the same route, but left the fortress through Qingshui Pass.

The wind is sunny and sunny, but it cannot cover the cries of thousands of captives.

The mountains are towering and the majestic pass is in power, but it doesn't work just in case.

Hauge sat on the horse and looked back, only to see that the Ming army was several miles away, and the appearance of spying here was worse than that of a mouse.

He smiled contemptuously, pointed to the gate in front of him and asked: "Amin was beheaded here for Zuo Menggeng?"

Hearing him mention Zuo Menggeng's name, Fan Ji gritted his teeth, his eyes turned red.

"It's this beast. It hurt the famous general of the Qing Dynasty, and even killed the whole family of this servant. Master, if this thief falls into your hands in the future, please hand it over to this servant, so that this servant can avenge his deep hatred."

Hauge laughed wildly.

"Wait patiently, this day will not be too long."

Because of the timidity of the Ming army, the retreat of the Qing army was very smooth.

The arrogant Qing army looked down on the Ming army more and more, so they simply put on the beautiful clothes they had snatched, and played music all the way, just like playing.

Azig was last.

Before leaving the customs, someone cut a piece of wood and wrote the words "All officials are free of delivery", like a sharp dagger stuck in the heart of Daming, who was dying.

On this day, Chongzhen hid in the harem without seeing anyone.

Wang Chengen found him and told him cautiously.

"My lord, Zhang Sima of the Ministry of War and Xuan Daliang Bingxian have passed away, and Donglu has also left."

A catastrophe passed, but Chongzhen did not see any joy.

His eyes wandered, not knowing where to look.The resolute look proved that he had obviously made a decision.

"Where is Yang Sichang?"

Wang Chengen had some thoughts that did not keep up with him.

"Master Yang is now in his hometown, Ding You."

Chongzhen spat out a few words between clenched teeth.

"Pass the decree, seize the love, let him come back quickly."
