Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 367

The news of the defeat of Prince Azig of England and Prince Duoduo of Yu spread to Beijing, the capital of the Qing Dynasty.

The first time was when Nikan and Boluo were defeated and killed a few months ago. Ten thousand Tartars and hundreds of thousands of traitor troops were completely annihilated. Seeing that the hands were so cheap that they could not be cheaper, Jiujiang, Wuhan, Yichang and other places still did not Belonging to the Qing Dynasty, it was like a piece of fat that was about to be eaten but was thrown away by Zhu Yousong. When the news spread to Beijing, the Qing Dynasty shook the court and the public.

But this time the earthquake was even more severe than the last time. The 20 troops of the Qing army were wiped out, and they lost all their money. What is the concept?This is equal to half of the military power of the Qing Dynasty!
When the Eight Banners of Manchuria entered the customs, there were only 10,000+ troops in total. Later, the capital of the Qing Dynasty moved from Shengjing (now Shenyang, Liaoning) to Beijing. The soldiers of the Qing army and the Dashun army were reorganized into the Qing army. Counting these miscellaneous troops, the Qing army had a total of only 40 horses.

In other words, the Qing army was very limited.In this regard, any human race is incomparable to us Han people, not to mention the regular army of the imperial court, there are tens of thousands of rogues in any place, and hundreds of thousands or even millions in a small scale, such as Li Zicheng's troops, Zhang Xianzhong's troops, etc. Teams, wait, the big Han people have nothing but people, so you can't accept it!
The Central Plains is extensive and profound, and there are limited captives outside the pass.This time, 20 troops were lost, which was exactly half of the entire Qing army.

If victory or defeat is commonplace for military strategists, the Aixinjueluo family, which is indomitable and gets stronger with each battle, regards victory and defeat as commonplace. A family should have such a mind and tolerance, but even so, the regent can't calm down now.

Because the result of this battle was really unexpected, this battle was actually planned by him and Fan Wencheng, who was the number one strategist in Hanchen.One east, one west two roads used troops, the Ming Dynasty survived in name only, only half of the country remained, the emperor was forced to commit suicide, and King Xiaofu was pushed to the throne of the king.What kind of emperor is this Zhu Yousong?It is said that wine and women are his biggest hobbies. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, the imperial court is party-fighting, and the warlords are self-respecting.It should be reasonable to beat Jiangnan with a force of destruction?

However, Duduo, Azig, Oboi, and Man Dahai are all invincible elites of the Eight Banners. They are the pride of their Manchurian soldiers.

The loss was too heavy, let alone the annihilation of the 20 army, Prince Ying, Prince Yu, King Zhishun, King Huaishun, King Gongshun, not counting the king of Pingxi, five kings were lost in this battle. Counting Nikan and Boluo, the seven kings were all killed by the false emperor Zhu Yousong. How can he, the actual helm of the Qing Dynasty, calm down?

What makes Dorgon even more unbearable is that Prince Azig of England and Prince Yu Duoduo, and Dorgon are close brothers who crawled out of a mother's belly. The sudden death of his elder brother, Huang Taiji, did not deal such a big blow to him.

So Dorgon fainted several times when he heard the bad news.After being rescued by the imperial physician, Dorgon couldn't care about anything else. He knelt in front of two empty memorial tablets, crying loudly. His head touched the ground, crying so much that the emperor Xiao Shunzhi, Prince Baylor and other officials were also moved by it, all the eunuchs and court ladies were in tears, even the grass and trees were sad for it.

Dorgon is really sad. It is one aspect of their brotherly love. There are such records in history. When Doduo was seriously ill, Dorgon, who was fighting abroad, immediately returned to the court. Before he arrived in the court, Doduo died of illness , Dorgon changed into plain clothes, and ran to the capital crying all the way.

It can be seen from this that it was just the death of a younger brother, and now even the older brother and the younger brother are dead. It is conceivable that Dole Gun is distraught.

And this time Dorgon lost not only his elder brother and brothers, but politically, he lost his arm. Last year, when he competed with Prince Su Hauge, he relied on their three brothers to fight against Hauge. Can sit on the throne of God, but as the "uncle king" regent, the seven-year-old Shunzhi is just a puppet, and he is the actual helm of the Qing Dynasty.That's why they competed for the position. He was the final winner, and he was able to win, of course, the two brothers contributed a lot.

Now that the two of them are gone, it is like taking away two pillars at once. Fortunately, the turmoil of the position struggle is over now, otherwise the building will inevitably collapse.But if there is another royal battle in the future, who will Dorgon rely on?
Therefore, Dorgon cried not only about his brotherhood, but also about his political future, so he was distraught and moved.

After crying, he pulled Xiao Shunzhi to kneel in front of the ancestor's spirit, and made a blood oath: "The ancestors are above all, I, Dorgon, and I, Fulin, must avenge this, otherwise I will be shameless, and I will definitely let Zhu Yousong die." At ten times and a hundred times the price, blood debt and blood taste!"

After that, Dorgon immediately brought Shunzhi to hold a meeting of the imperial ministers to discuss the matter of the Southern Expedition. Erhalang, Prince Li Daishan, Prince Su Hauge, auxiliary ministers Sony, Tan Tai, Tulai, Gong Adai, Xihan, Hanchen Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo, Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui, etc., these humerus important ministers also They all wear heavy filial piety and worship upwards.

Shunzhi sat there like a puppet, and the regent Dorgon spoke.

"Everyone, since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, I have never experienced such a defeat. Thinking about how brave and invincible the Taizu and Shizu were. Wherever the soldiers came, they all bowed their heads, entered the Central Plains, moved the capital to the south, and conquered the thieves and subdued the Han. It’s more like the autumn wind sweeping leaves. The defeat of the five kings has shamed my Qing Dynasty. This king and the emperor have sworn a blood alliance to the ancestors of the ancestors. .From now on, we will use the power of the Qing Dynasty to defeat the false emperor Zhu Yousong. If there is Qing, there will be no Ming, and if there is Ming, there will be no Qing. Everyone must work together to defeat Ming and serve the court!"

After finishing speaking, Dorgon said that he would conquer Daming personally this time, and let everyone discuss the dispatch of troops from Nanming.

All the ministers of the Qing court expressed their opinions. Prince Su Hauge, Uncle Jierhalang, Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui, who had not yet cleared themselves and were still Dai Zhishou, etc., all volunteered one after another, willing to follow Dorgon's lead, even the elderly Daishan, the Prince of Li, will also go out with Dorgon to crusade against Zhu Yousong, the false emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

The current Qing court is not monolithic. Dorgon and Hauge are still the two major political factions. However, when external conflicts strike, internal conflicts will be reconciled. This is the law of survival of the Qing Dynasty, and the magic weapon for conquering the world and unifying the Central Plains. .

Dorgon was very satisfied, but he found that there was only one Hanchen who was indifferent and silent at this time, Dorgon couldn't help asking angrily for details.
