"The criminal Li Jian knocks to see Your Majesty!"
In front of Yang Feng's rhinoceros, a middle-aged man wearing a prison uniform with shackles and pigtails kowtowed to the ground and said.
And behind him, there are a large number of officials dressed in the same costume, these guys are all officials of Xuanhua, and the one in front is the former governor of Xuanhua, Li Jian, the governor of the Manchu Xuanda, Yang Feng After taking Jizhou, he did not directly play the king and returned to Beijing, but led the Jinyi Guard and 10,000 cavalry, plus the first and second brigades of Dangkou who rode in a four-wheeled carriage, and went directly to Xuanhua from Yongguan, after these guys got the news, they immediately put on prison uniforms and shackles to meet the holy driver.
"Do you know what crime you have committed?"
Yang Feng shouted with a majestic face.
"The ministers are disloyal to the ministers, betray their favors, listen to rumors, and resist the king's teacher, which is really a crime that deserves death, and I ask Your Majesty to deal with it."
Li Jian said tremblingly.
"You're one of my first jinshi, aren't you?"
Yang Feng asked.
"Your Majesty, the guilty minister is a jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen, and the guilty minister has the grace of the saint."
Li Jian hurriedly said.
"Seventeen years, fifteen years to be precise, you are Zhu Zhifeng's predecessor, fifteen years from a jinshi to the governor, I ask myself to treat you as a favor, I don't ask you to be like Zhu Zhifeng for my death, but you can at least be worthy of your conscience, my fifteen years of grace in exchange for you first descended to Li Zicheng and then to Dolgon, and when I came back, I armed tens of thousands of troops to Jiannu as a tiger, where have you read the sage books in your life? Does the book of sages teach you unfaithfulness and unrighteousness at the end? You also shaved your hair, and you even lost your filial piety? People are in ruins, what face do you have to see me? ”
Yang Feng said.
"The sinner deserves death!"
Li Jian lay there crying.
"You are indeed guilty of ten thousand deaths, you are all guilty of ten thousand deaths, take them down, and they will all be dealt with according to the rules!"
Yang Feng said viciously.
Behind the Jinyiwei immediately shook the iron chain and stepped forward, locked up in the cry of those officials, waiting to be escorted back to Beijing's Jinyiwei edict prison, and then checked the bill to see who owed the emperor money, anyway, how much they gave Li Zicheng, they had to give the emperor how much, pardon the family members, I threw Taiwan to dig sulfur, and gave the endless nine clans to the house to go to the court, in short, they will know what life is better than death, it is said that the edict of Jinyiwei has not been destroyed, it is estimated that those small toys inside, Will let them know about Tianwei first.
In other words, the old rules of the Ming Dynasty should be re-established in the future, such as this Jinyi Guard's edict, such as this Dongchang ......
Well, the East Factory still forgets it.
and Jinyiwei's functions overlap, and Yang Feng is not ready to recruit new eunuchs in the future, Daming's eunuch system will gradually die out from him, anyway, it's not right to cut off people's little brothers, just recruit more palace maids in the palace, watching young and beautiful little girls serve themselves, it's much more comfortable than watching a group of noisy eunuchs serving themselves, and Daming's internal guard responsibilities are all handed over to Jinyiwei, it's nothing more than a reform of this institution, In short, the rule of the Ming spies must continue, otherwise those officials will not work without a rope around their necks.
Yang Feng was slightly relieved, looking at those wolf-like brocade guards, as if he had seen the era of riding out.
Then he urged the rhinoceros out of the Great Wall.
His next stop was Xuanhua.
He had gone to wait for Dorgon.
Yang Feng bet that Dolgon did not return to the Northeast, because Hauge in the Northeast would not allow him, and the relationship between him and Hauge could be said to be like fire and water, and at this time Hauge had already proclaimed himself emperor in Hetuala, and the banner people outside the Guanwai had pushed the main reason for the loss of Shenyang to Dolgon, if it weren't for his lack of greed and almost all the elites to go south, and finally being blocked in the pass, the Ming army would not have been able to recapture Shenyang so easily, so Dolgon would not have had any good results when he went back, and Hauge would not let go of this opportunity for revenge.
Dorgon must have understood that, too.
So Yang Feng bet that he would not go back to the northeast to be humiliated by Haoge, but from Chengde to Duolun, but he would not go to Chahar Ministry, the leader of Chahar Ministry, Abunai and them are not good, and Dorgon's final destination is likely to be Shanxi, to live with Jiang Jiu. Even with his current strength, it will not be too difficult to annex Jiang Huang's territory, anyway, as long as the gentry in Shanxi have someone to ensure their safety, it makes no difference whether it is Jiang Huang or Dolgon, Dolgon and them are also old friends.
They are old friends indeed.
So Yang Feng's choice is to go to Xuanhua and wait.
Anyway, even if the judgment is wrong, it's not a big deal, it's nothing more than Dolgon fleeing back to the northeast, but it is impossible for them to recapture Shenyang, and in the end they are surviving in the old forest, and after a period of time to stabilize in the pass, just slap to death, in other words, the current Dolgon is also very desolate, just like a stray wild dog can only run desperately, in order to be able to live longer, of course, his current situation is a very happy thing for His Majesty the Emperor.
Yang Feng guessed right.
Just as he was leading his army to Xuanhua, the army led by Dolgon appeared in a beautiful grassland, where the endless green undulations stretched, small lakes dotted with small lakes, and from time to time you could see herds of cattle and sheep, as well as herdsmen who were gathering in terror.
"What a beautiful place!"
Looking at the beautiful scenery, Dorgon muttered to himself.
Perhaps he remembered the beautiful figure on the Korqin steppe, he did not know that at this time, the steppe under his feet would have been turned into a hunting ground for their family in history, and that Fulin's son would lead the army here to victory in a great battle, defeating a man named Galdan and ending the last effort of the Mongols to rise.
Well, this is the Magnolia paddock.
"Regent, we don't have much to eat."
Shang Kexi said.
Dorgon waved his hand expressionlessly.
"Kill!"
Shang Kexi pulled out his knife and shouted.
Immediately after the torrent of the most elite veterans of the 35,000 Eight Banners, like a cloud, swept over the green grassland, and in a blink of an eye, the grassland became blood-colored, and this unknown small tribe can be said to have been slaughtered in an instant, whether people or livestock, all fell under the butcher's knife of the Qing army, and then their corpses, whether people or livestock, were all put on the barbecue shelf, because there was not much to eat in the mountains, and the Qing army, which had been starving for five days, soon began to feast.
In the campfire of the grassland, Dorgon silently looked up at the starry sky.
Now they're wanderers.
Now they are the same as the Liukou, they don't have everything, only the knife in their hands, they want to survive, they can only learn to live like the Liukou, he didn't choose to go north and return to his hometown, to a large extent, because he knows that he can't go back, and not to mention the encirclement and interception of the army, even the food supply is difficult to ensure that he can go back, he can indeed get supplies by sacking the Mongolian departments, but the counterattack of the Mongolian departments will also be like wild wolves around the sheep, constantly consuming his soldiers.
What's more, after the Horqin Department was slaughtered by the Dog Emperor once, there were not many herdsmen on the Horqin grassland.
So he could only choose to go to Shanxi.
Jiang Jiu will not refuse him, and the gentry of Shanxi will also welcome him, as long as he can escape to Shanxi, then at least he will be safe until the dog emperor solves Li Zicheng.
Even so, he was further away from his hometown.
Suddenly, I don't know which soldier sang in a low voice, and then a low cry sounded, and the empty grassland seemed to be full of ghosts.
Dorgon sighed.
"Regent, let's go to the territory of the Mongols next, or go directly to the south, take the Dushikou south to Xuanhua?"
Shang Kexi asked.
At this time, the main commander of their team is Dolgon, Shang Kexi, Kong Youde, Abatai's son Bolo, after he died in the battle of Abatai, because of Dolgon's capture of Beijing and was named the king of Duanzhong County, before Duoduo was burned to death by the dog emperor demon fire in Beijing, Nikan was smashed off his horse with a dead body and broke his neck, and the rest were some low-level generals, the four of them, who were also the core of this team, were all by Dolgon's side at this time, waiting for the regent to make a decision.
"To the south, to the monolith, we must get into the mountains as fast as possible before Abneh gathers his men, or we will have to fight him first."
Dorgon said.
They were on the territory of the Chahar tribe at this time, and they had just slaughtered the herdsmen of the Chahar tribe, although the head of the Chahar tribe, Abunai, had married the daughter of Huang Taiji......
Well, in fact, it was his brother who married, and then he inherited after his brother's death, but he did not get Huang Taiji's approval before, and then although he acquiesced, the relationship between the two sides has always been a little tense, although he also entered the customs before, but after the Horqin Department dispersed, Abnai also led the army to withdraw directly despite Dolgon's objections, and it can be said that the two sides have parted ways. At this time, Dolgon slaughtered his people, then he must not be able to tolerate it, but he still needs time to gather an army, if Dolgon goes to the grasslands on the outskirts of the mountains, then he will definitely have to fight him.
Although Dorgon is not afraid of him, but now with these 35,000 Eight Banners, he can still hide!
And going south to Dushikou, you can enter the mountains in the shortest possible time, and then go south to Xuanhua, no matter whether the Ming army occupies Xuanhua at this time or not, he has the confidence that he can quickly cross Xuanhua and go straight to Datong, Datong must be under the control of the Jiang family. In fact, he didn't think that the Ming army would control Xuanhua, compared with sweeping the pass, Xuanhua is not important, as long as it controls Badaling and Juyong Pass, Xuanhua is nothing more than a small city outside the fortress, at this time how many places the Ming army wants to occupy, how can there be kung fu there.
What he didn't know was that at this time, the Ming army was not only marching towards Xuanhua, but also led by the Dog Emperor himself.
