Chapter 681: Houjin's Discord Scheme
With the help of Zilharan, the Dorgon brothers easily framed others and covered up this humiliating affair.
It wasn't until a year later that Huang Taiji found out, and Huang Taiji was really angry with this group of bastards at that time.
Huang Taiji's attitude towards Dolgon has always been changeable, and in the early days of Huang Taiji's succession, because he could not arouse the disgust of other Baylors, he did not dare to suppress Dolgon, the orthodox heir of Nurhachi, too much.
A few years later, after Huang Taiji slowly set up Gushan Ezhen inside the Eight Banners, divided the power of the banner owners, and initially established his prestige, he immediately began to clean up the three Dolgon brothers.
Not only did he divide the three brothers, but he also seized Dorgon's own bull and changed the color of Dolgon's and Dordor's flags.
And after Huang Taiji completely grasped all the power of Houjin, became the real emperor, and changed the Yuan, he began to think about the favor of the law again, and began to think about Dorgon, the younger brother who had been suppressed by him before, and was ready to use him as a model to show Huang Taiji's generosity.
However, that incident was indeed the root of hurting Houjin, so even if Huang Taiji wanted to pretend to be a good person, it would not work, this was a big thing that would make Houjin's middle and lower classes deviate from morality, so he finally dealt with the people involved seriously.
At that time, a total of more than 70 officials above the level of Jiala Ezhen were punished, of which more than 10 were Gushan Ezhen alone, and the officials involved included the three Eight Banner Banners, Gushan Ezhen, the commander of the Protector Army, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and the Chengzheng of the Criminal Department.
With such a large number of officials and the participation of so many high-level personnel, it can definitely be called a major earthquake in the post-Jin political arena, and since then, Dorgon, who has gradually begun to rise, has been re-suppressed and cannot raise his head.
Chen Xin recalled the original history and kept thinking about how Dolgon's level was blown into a famous general!
There is also the Duoduo who presided over the Yangzhou Ten-Day Massacre, and his performance in the original history was even more lackluster, but in terms of his performance that even Dolgon could not compare, he was later called a generation of famous generals.
Chen Xin was contemplating, the average level of those so-called famous generals in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties was suddenly lowered by a big cut!
If the two brothers were to say that they were engaged in conspiracy, if they were stronger, then their level of fighting would be a lot worse than that of their own brother Azig.
You must know that Azig's command level also belongs to the latter among the Eight Banner Masters. One can imagine the difference in the ability of the Dorgon brothers to fight.
···················
Just as Chen Xin was waiting for the investigation reports from all sides, and was bored thinking about things, Dolgon was also busy in the Houjin camp opposite him.
Dolgon asked his cronies, "What happened to the Ming army in Dongjiang Town and Fuzhou?" ”
"A few days ago, the Ming army of Dongjiang Town, Shang Kexi, once again attacked a fort on the beach to defend Dongjiang Town, and the total number of troops sent was about 2,000.
In addition, Mao Chengzuo and other troops including Guanglu Island also crossed Phoenix Mountain and harassed the villages and forts along the way.
A group of Huaxia troops also appeared near Fuzhou, and they attacked our army's grain supply units everywhere, and yesterday alone, our army burned more than 50 cattle carts.
12 soldiers of the grain team we were responsible for escorting the robbery, 49 Yu Ding, and more than 100 Aha soldiers. ”
Dolgon asked intently, "Have you found out, where did the Huaxia army that attacked the grain convoy come from?"
The cronies nodded and replied: "Lord Qiqi, it has been found out, it should be the Huaxia army ashore on the coastline between Jinzhou and Fuzhou on a sea ship."
According to the reports of the escaped soldiers in the attacked food caravan, the rifles used by these people were slightly shorter than those of our army, and each of them also had a short gun in their hands, and some of the Chinese soldiers even carried bows and arrows on their backs.
Well, another point, it is said that although those people are wearing the weird vests of the Huaxia Army, they do not seem to have the large pieces of iron armor specially made by the Huaxia Army. ”
Dolgon frowned and said: "There is no iron armor, which means that these people have been prepared for a long time, and they have removed all the weight on their bodies in order to escape."
The land between Jinzhou and Fuzhou is full of rolling mountains and hills, and it is really not easy to catch them in that place. ”
Dolgon paused a little here, thought for a while, and then said again: "This matter should not spread outward for the time being, so as not to disturb the morale of the army, the most important thing now is to speed up the withdrawal of the army, and not to give the Huaxia army more opportunities." ”
At this time, the sound of a military horn sounded again on the Jiguan Mountain, and the Huaxia army that had gone out to the western slope withdrew to the top of the mountain according to the order, and then was strengthened to the northern slope area.
They were to join up with the Huaxia army, which had been stationed on the northern slope, to contain the right flank of the Houjin and prevent them from reinforcing other places.
The Houjin army on the other side of the Dragon River could only continue to stay where it was, unable to move, because the engineering units of the Huaxia Army were still building pontoon bridges under the guard of the coast guard.
Therefore, if these Houjin troops want to return to the battlefield, they need to go around to the ferry in their camp, which is the defender's internal line advantage.
Hanchen Gao Hongzhong, who had been following Dolgon all the time, looked at the situation here, and felt that the dispatch of the Huaxia army was very worthy of praise, and the combat of the Huaxia army was also extremely brave, which made him admire it in his heart.
Although the Houjin Army was also very brave in battle, it felt inferior to the Huaxia Army, and the biggest difference between the two was the kind of orderly discipline, which made Gao Hongzhong admire it at the same time, but also very worried in his heart.
After all, the Huaxia Army on the opposite side is the enemy of the Dajin Kingdom, and there are irreconcilable contradictions between the two.
After Gao Hongzhong thought for a moment, he turned to Dolgon and said, "Lord Wang, the minister made a statement to the prince earlier, saying that he wanted to find a way to provoke the Ming Kingdom's evil feelings towards Na Huaxia and cut off Na Dongjiang Town's assistance to the Huaxia Army.
That plan even opened up the disgusting transactions between Huaxia and the general soldiers of the Ming Kingdom, and made Huaxia the biggest enemy in the eyes of Ming Chongzhen.
The plan is now being implemented, but if we want to implement the divisive method, our army must temporarily stop in Jinzhou City, and then Jinzhou City still needs to be defended for a while, and our army must not withdraw all the way to Fuzhou City. ”
Saying this, Gao Hongzhong stopped again.
