Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan were worried, but Yao Qisheng and Yu Sideng were overjoyed.

"Meng Gejian, is this true or not?" Yao Qisheng was so excited that he almost jumped up, and asked in a suppressed voice, "Dorgon really died suddenly? Did he really die?"

Although the assassination plan formulated by the three of them fell through.

But Yao Qisheng and Yu Sideng not only did not feel regretful, but were extremely happy.

The reason is very simple. Killing Dorgon with their own hands will certainly give a sense of accomplishment, but the risk is also great. If Meng Xueli cannot control the Juziying in time, and then use the Juziying to deter the white armor soldiers holding the two white flags, then the two of them In all likelihood, they will be chopped into meat by the white-armored soldiers of the two white flags.

It's all right now, don't need them to shoot,
Dorgon actually died suddenly by himself!
"It's really dead." Meng Xueli said with certainty.

"The little emperors are now in charge, and the eight-banner system of governance has been restored."

"This is really an accident." Yu Sideng asked again suddenly, "Isn't it a fake death?"

"What are you thinking?" Meng Xueli scolded angrily, "This is not the Three Kingdoms, so there are so many fake deaths."

"Oh, this is really a surprise." Yao Qisheng rubbed his hands and said, "We don't need to do it ourselves. Dorgon died suddenly by himself. How did he die?"

Yu Sideng whispered, "The assassin sent by the little emperor couldn't have killed him?"

"Dorgon's death shouldn't have anything to do with the little emperor." Meng Xueli shook his head and said, "I heard that it was a concubine who died on a horse when he was lucky. But he died on the belly of a woman, I really don’t know if Lao Nuquan will beat him up if he knows?”

"Did you get the wind when you were lucky to be a concubine?" Yao Qisheng's eyes widened.

"What?" Meng Xueli and Yu Sideng looked over at the same time, "Is there something wrong?"

Yao Qisheng said in a low voice: "The empress dowager left the palace at Sishi today and went to Prince Rui's mansion, and returned later. Then Dorgon died suddenly at the end of the year, so this empress dowager can't be the empress dowager?"

"No." Yu Sideng said, "This time is not right."

"Time?" Yao Qisheng said meaningfully, "If it's really the Queen Mother's doing, it's not a matter of her saying when Dorgon will die suddenly? If it's the end of You, it's the end of You, and she's having sex with the concubine. When you get the wind, you get the wind when you have sex with the concubine."

Yu Sideng's eyes widened, it was really possible.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Meng Xueli said, "You two should quickly think of a way to present the news of Dorgon's death to the Holy Majesty."

Speaking of this, Meng Xueli couldn't help sighing softly.

"Unfortunately, we know the news of Dorgon's death is too late. If we had received the news when Dorgon died suddenly, and had reported to the emperor in time, maybe the city of Beijing would have been taken down."

Yao Qisheng and Yu Sideng also felt it was a pity.

A good opportunity was missed in vain.

……

After Chongzhen received the arrow book that Yao Qisheng shot out of the city, he didn't feel a pity at all.

It's a bit surprising that Dorgon died like this, but in another world, Dorgon didn't have a few months to live. The only difference is that in that world, he fell from a horse and died in this world, but in this world, he died on horseback.

Chongzhen handed the arrow book to Wang Jiayan beside him, and said, "Dorgon is dead."

"Ah?" Wang Jiayan was stunned for a moment, Xu Yingwei, Jiang Tianyi, Zheng Sen, Zhang Huangyan, as well as the sons of King Qin and Guo Zisheng who were present were all stunned. Dorgon died?

"My lord, Dorgon is dead?" Wang Jiayan couldn't believe it.

"Well, he's dead." Chongzhen nodded and said, "When I was facing the empress concubine, I got a sudden wind and died suddenly."

"Ha, it's dead! Dorgon is dead! Haha, Dorgon is dead!" Xu Yingwei, Jiang Tianyi, Zheng Sen, Zhang Huangyan and other scholars hugged each other instantly, their excitement palpable.

The excitement of Wang Jiayan and these scholars is also understandable.

Because from their point of view, Dorgon is not only the true emperor of Jiannu, but also the totem of Jiannu or the spiritual pillar of Jiannu. Now Dorgon's sudden death is equivalent to the collapse of Jiannu's sky .

The sky of Jiannu has collapsed, will there still be any suspense when Ming wins the Northern Expedition?
There is no need for the Ming army to take action, Jiannu may fall into civil strife and kill each other.

However, Chongzhen poured cold water on their pockets and said coldly: "Isn't it just that Dorgon died? What is there to be happy about? If you think that Dorgon died, Jiannu would fall into civil strife, and the Eight Banners They will kill each other, and they will definitely be disappointed in the end. Jiannu will not have civil strife, and the Eight Banners will not kill each other."

"My lord, I'm afraid this matter may not be possible." Wang Jiayan retorted, "Dorgon died suddenly, and the little emperor Fulin was young. The Eight Banners nobles headed by Duoduo will definitely have unreasonable thoughts. A civil strife is probably a Inevitably, just like when Laonu and Huang Taiji died suddenly, Jiannu almost broke out in civil strife twice."

Chongzhen said: "But in the end, didn't civil strife break out?"

"That's because there are Huang Taiji and Dorgon." Wang Jiayan said, "The nobles of the Eight Banners who built slaves are more reckless, but Huang Taiji and Dorgon are rare wise men among the slaves. It is precisely because they know how to tolerate, Only then did Jiannu avoid civil strife, but at this time, there are probably no wise figures like Huang Taiji and Dorgon in Jiannu."

"Not necessarily." Chongzhen said in his heart. Bumbutai's wisdom may not be inferior to that of Huang Taiji and Dorgon, especially in terms of political skills. If there is no accident, the overall situation in Beijing has been settled. The little emperor Fulin is afraid that he has already been in charge of the government, and has truly grasped the imperial power.

"It's a pity." Wang Jiayan sighed the same as Meng Xueli.

"If we could have learned of Dorgon's death in the first place, we might have taken Beijing."

Chongzhen didn't take it seriously, shaking his head and said: "Taking Beijing has never been a problem. If we had really determined to attack at any cost, Beijing would have taken it down long ago."

"Our problem is to get it all together."

"Otherwise, even if the city of Beijing is taken down, there are hundreds of thousands of elite slaves stationed in Yanzhou Mansion, Shanhaiguan, and Tianjin Wei respectively. Then the situation will be more complicated."

"Hundreds of thousands of Jiannu turned into thieves overnight, and it's troublesome."

After a pause, Chongzhen said again: "So this is not a missed opportunity at all."

Wang Jiayan, Xu Yingwei and other scholars thought about it again, what the Holy Majesty said was also reasonable. Today, what Daming wants is not only to recover Beijing, but to complete his achievements in one battle.

While talking, a Guo Zisheng hurried in.

"Your Majesty." Guo Zisheng paid a military salute to Chongzhen, and reported, "I found another arrow book outside Chaoyang Gate."

Gao Qiqian immediately stepped forward to take the arrow book from Guo Zisheng's hand, without sealing wax or even an envelope, he just rolled the letter paper into a tube and threaded it on an arrow.

After confirming that there is no trap in the arrow book, Gao Qiqian took down the letter and handed it to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen was overjoyed after reading the letter, and said with a smile: "Interesting, Fan Wencheng and Ningwan and I are going to dedicate the city at midnight tonight. Let us get ready and enter the city from Dongzhimen as soon as the hour passes."

They were bemoaning a missed opportunity just now, and then the opportunity came.

"Dedicating the city?" Scholars such as Xu Yingwei, Zheng Sen and Jiang Tianyi were astonished when they heard this.

But Wang Jiayan said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan cannot be trusted."

"Wang Qing, didn't you just say that Jiannu might fall into civil strife because of Dorgon's death?" Chongzhen raised the letter in his hand and said, "In this case, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan and I sacrificed the city to survive. Not surprising."

"Your Majesty, even though you say that, you still need to be careful." Wang Jiayan said, "So as not to fall into the tricks of the two."

Chongzhen said: "Wang Qing is saying that Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan are just pretending to surrender? Are they trying to lure my troops into the valley?"

"It's hard to say." Wang Jiayan said, "In any case, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan, and I were both confidantes and advisers of Jiannu in Huangtai and Dorgon's times. They made great contributions to Jiannu, and they knew their sins. It's serious, so it won't be easy, anyway, this sudden shooting of the book and saying that he wants to sacrifice the city is very suspicious, so we must guard against it."

"Alright." Chongzhen said with a smile, "Then ignore them."

Chongzhen also felt that Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo were pretending to surrender, because it violated human nature.

Military generals like Jiang Yu and Wu Sangui may still turn against the water, but traitorous literati like Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo, and Hong Chengchou are absolutely impossible to turn against the water.

If it goes against the water, it must be a false surrender.

Xu Yingwei said: "Your Majesty, can you follow the plan?"

"Just do what you can?" Chongzhen asked, "Why do you just do what you can?"

Xu Yingwei said: "It is to pretend to promise Fan Wencheng and the others to attract Jiannu's attention to Dongzhimen, and then gather heavy troops to launch a fierce attack from the gap in Chaoyangmen, or they can succeed in a surprise attack."

"Then won't Beijing be brought down?" Chongzhen shook his head like a rattle.

"This won't work. I still say the same thing. I'm not in a hurry to take down Beijing now."

Dorgon is dead, and Fulin is already in charge, but has resumed the Eight Banners.

With the stinky virtues of those Eight Banners nobles, it would be very difficult for Jiannu to be a coward again.

So why not wait a few more days?Wait until Fulin transfers Shanhaiguan, Yanzhou Mansion, and Hong Chengchou's army from Tianjin back to Beijing before the final battle.

With Dorgon's sudden death, a decisive battle has become a high probability event.

Although Chongzhen had absolute confidence in the Ming army, in order to ensure that no accidents occurred, it was still necessary to continue to increase troops to Beijing, and the strength of the four towns was still a little weak.

Although after Hong Chengchou's army withdrew, the second town could follow, but the five towns were still a little weak.

At that moment, Chongzhen asked the transportation department again, and Zhu Shunshui said: "Chuyu, before you leave, are the weapons and equipment in the 7th and 8th towns in place?"

"My lord, everything is in place."

"Okay, let the navy immediately bring the seventh and eighth towns to Beijing."
