Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 1137: Refusing to Surrender Prince Xin to the Throne

"The Lotus Khan of the Kingdom of David, Sultan, wrote to General Doni, who was in charge of Anyuan and Jingkou: The rise and fall of dynasties are determined by fate, and the talents of famous generals are also subject to fate. After several hunting trips, I know the ability of the general very well. I often sigh that hundreds of birds of prey are not as good as one eagle. Such a great general was born in the enemy camp. However, since the uprising, the momentum has been unstoppable, and the Qing emperor has finally been forced to dominate Dadu with hatred. This is the fate of Wei, not the fault of war. I am not a saint, and I am happy to take revenge. I have killed the princes in the capital to vent my hatred for the loss of my daughter. The prince reported it. Now I have promised the general that I will not dwell on the past, nor bear grudges. I will only recruit the virtuous and the capable. If you are willing to come back, you can be granted the title of prince, and all the generals under your command will be given important positions. Going against the trend is not a wise thing to do. The opportunity is too short to miss. I am looking forward to the general's coming in Dadu. We will work together to pacify the world. I am eagerly waiting for the big golden seal. General, do not have any doubts, and make a plan as soon as possible to achieve unparalleled merits. Jiangtian is in sight, and Yanqi is working hard, but I can't express my intention in writing."

In Xuanfu Town, General Anyuan Jingkou and Prince Xin Duoni finished reading the letter of persuasion and passed it to everyone to read. They asked slowly, "What do you think of the pseudo-emperor's letter of persuasion?"

"Your Highness, this is a treacherous plot of the false emperor. If you don't surrender, you still have a chance of survival. If you surrender, you will die," said Tong Yangliang, the governor of Xuanda, who was the first to speak.

"Yes, Your Majesty, our army still has tens of thousands of elite soldiers. In recent days, we have recruited 30,000 new soldiers in Xuanfu and Shanxi. Several provinces in the north are still ours, and half of Jiangnan still obeys the orders of the Qing Dynasty. With strong soldiers and horses, why should we surrender?" Beile Duran continued.

Led by the two, Duke Gao Sai, the generals guarding the country Ye Bushu and Chang Shu, Gushan Ezhen Aljin and Bashan, the first-class guard Jie Yin, the first-class Adahahafan Sangtu, and the deputy general of the Xuan Da Du Biao Zhongying Lin Guoliang all expressed their opposition to surrendering to the guards.

Doni nodded, staring at Sulma who was kneeling on the ground. Sulma was the third son of Aobai's brother Murima, and he was a Jialazhangjing. He was captured after the defeat. In order to gain the trust of the Qing side, Sultan chose this person from the captives as a messenger to persuade them to surrender. "Sulma, how are my family members?"

"In reply to your Highness, all the wives, princes and princesses are safe, but they are being guarded by the guards and it is difficult for them to be free. Lianhua Khan has ordered that if you refuse to surrender, the princes will be executed," said Surma with red eyes. As soon as these words came out, the Qing army generals present cursed the fake emperor for being shameless.

Hearing him mention his family, Donnie's eyes turned red. After a moment of silence, he looked at him and said, "Sulma, can I trust you?"

"Please believe me, Your Highness. Although I was defeated and captured, I will be a Qing citizen in life and a Qing ghost in death!" Sulma said solemnly.

"Well, in your opinion, if I lead my army to surrender, can the lives of myself and my family be guaranteed?" Donny asked slowly.

"In my opinion, the fake emperor is a sinister and cruel person, and he hates us Manchus because of the death of the fake princess. All the Qing royal family members in the capital were executed, except for those family members who were leading troops outside. My status is low, so I can save my life by surrendering to the emperor. But you are a direct descendant of the Aisin-Gioro clan and have made great military achievements, which makes you feared by the fake emperor. If you surrender to the emperor, you will inevitably be doomed," Sulma answered seriously.

"Well, it seems that we can't surrender and can only fight the guards to the death!" Donny sighed, and suddenly laughed, "Come here, get paper and pen. It is rude to come without giving anything in return. I want to write a letter back to the false emperor."

This prince had been educated in Chinese culture since childhood, and a letter was written in a moment: "General Anyuan Jingkou of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Xin Doni, respectfully writes to His Majesty the Lotus Khan of the Davidic Kingdom: In this busy period, I suddenly heard your good intentions. After reading them again and again, I am very upset. When the subjects in the north and south heard the sad news about the late emperor, they all gnashed their teeth and cried before their swords. Although I am not talented, I understand the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period and dare not betray my ancestors and kneel down to my vicious enemies. If Your Majesty has good intentions, please lead the troops back to the north and release the Manchu families. I am grateful for your kindness and hope that the world will be united and passed on forever. If you must destroy our country, the only way is to fight. I am a little foolish and it is difficult to meet your good intentions. I hope Your Majesty will understand it! June 1664, the st year of Shunzhi ()".

Upon seeing this letter, the Qing officials present were immediately cheered up, as their confidence, which had been weakened by the capture of Beijing and the capture of their family members, was restored to a great extent.

"The late emperor has passed away. Please ascend the throne as soon as possible to correct people's hearts!" Beile Duran suddenly shouted.

"Please, Your Majesty, ascend the throne to correct people's hearts~Please, Your Majesty, ascend the throne to correct people's hearts~" Tong Yangliang, Sangtu, Lin Guoliang and others all shouted, and Gushan Ezhen Aljin and Bashan looked at each other and shouted. Only the Fuguogong Gaosai, the generals Ye Bushu and Chang Shu, and the first-class guard Jie Yin stood there blankly without moving.

Doni looked at the three elder brothers of Emperor Shunzhi meaningfully, sighed and said: "The country is in such a difficult situation, and I am unlucky. We must choose a person of high moral character to be the king." "Your Highness has made many military achievements and is the direct descendant of Emperor Taizu. You are the most respected among all the kings." Duran wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Doni, "Let's discuss this matter later."
-
"Mr. Tong, what does the prince mean?" Du Lan asked Tong Yangliang after returning home.

"I think Your Highness is not unwilling to ascend the throne, but he sees that Gao Sai, Ye Bushu and Chang Shu, three members of the royal family, have not expressed their stance, and he does not know the attitude of the local governors and governors, so he chooses to wait," Tong Yangliang laughed, "I have sent people to various provinces to send letters asking the governors and governors to submit petitions of persuasion. Other provinces are far away, but the petitions of Shangshan Beile, Bai Fuyuan and Li Zongzhen in Shanxi arrived very quickly. As for the three members of the royal family, haha, I hope they'd better behave themselves."

After hearing this, Duran laughed, "Mr. Tong is still far-sighted!"

Coincidentally, seeing that Duoni wanted to become emperor, the three elder brothers of Emperor Shunzhi, Ye Bushu, Gao Sai and Chang Shu, also gathered together to discuss. Although they had lower titles, they were all sons of Huang Taiji and did not want to see the throne fall into the hands of Duoduo's line.

"Sixth brother, that kid Donny relies on the military power in his hands and actually wants to become emperor. We must think of a way quickly!" Ye Bushu spoke.

"Yes, Sixth Brother, if anyone is to ascend the throne, it should be you, not that kid!" Chang Shu also said.

Gao Sai actually had no ambitions. He only liked to study calligraphy, painting and music theory. However, he was very dissatisfied with Donny's desire to become emperor. He solemnly said to Ye Bushu: "Fourth brother, you are the oldest and most opinionated among our three brothers. Please lead us." This was equivalent to saying that he was willing to support Ye Bushu.

Ye Bushu was very satisfied. After thinking for a while, he said, "Today everyone supports Doni, but Jie Yin does not agree. He has some soldiers, and with the personal guards of the three of us, we can give it a try. When the time comes, we can pretend to be celebrating his birthday and invite all the generals to drink. We can control Doni, Duran, Tong Yangliang and others, and then send people to take over the army, and great things can be accomplished."

The two of them heard it and said it was a good idea. They went to consult with the first-class guard Jie Yin at night, and Jie Yin agreed immediately. The four of them discussed some details and decided to hold a banquet in the name of Jie Yin's birthday tomorrow night.
-
It was late at night, and Xuanda Governor Tong Yangliang was about to take a rest when he was informed that the first-class guard Jie Yin wanted to see him.

"Governor, something big has happened. Ye Bushu, Gao Sai, Chang Shu and others are planning to cause chaos..."

"What!" After listening to Jie Yin's report, Tong Yangliang secretly thanked himself for arranging Jie Yin as a spy early on, and it really worked. He calmed himself down and said, "Come on, follow me to see Prince Xin."

After listening to the two's report, Doni was not surprised, but calmly summoned Duran, Aljin, Bashan, Santu, Lin Guoliang and others to the palace to discuss the matter. Everyone agreed to eliminate the internal troubles first.

"Arjin, Bashan, Jieyin, you three lead your troops to capture Ye Bushu, Gao Sai, and Chang Shu respectively, and execute them for treason after they are captured." Seeing that everyone supported him to take the initiative to eliminate the internal troubles, Doni issued a vicious order. With this military order, more than 300 bodies were found in Xuanfu Town that night, which also cleared the obstacles for the great event.

What surprised Doni even more was that two days later, he received a joint letter of persuasion from Beile Shangshan, Shanxi Governor Bai Rumei, Taiyuan Town General Li Haoxian and others. With the support of these local officials, he had the confidence to ascend the throne. A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Doni understood this principle and did not hesitate to order his ascension to the throne and the reign name was Xihe. (End of this chapter)
