787 Dolgon's blackmail

[I'm late to come back tonight.,This chapter is presented.,Please subscribe!!] 】

November 13, Uiju outside Guanwai.

Dolgon led the remnants of more than 40,000 Qing troops, and after retreating from the cold wind pass, he marched all the way and left the Ming Dynasty non-stop, and finally arrived in Yizhou at this time.

Before Dolgon could reach Uiju, he received a message from Azig that Haug had returned to Shengjing.

After hearing the news, the angry Dolgon almost went insane, drew his knife and danced wildly, frightening the surrounding Qing army generals to avoid him, otherwise he would really kill someone.

Fortunately, then Dorgon calmed down and considered how to check and balance Hauge, and never let Haug inherit the throne.

And it just so happened that Azig sent someone to contact Dolgon, which made Dolgon's eyes light up and he had some thoughts in his head.

"Hauge, don't think that if you return to Shengjing early, you will be able to sit on the throne smoothly, as long as this king is here, you will never be able to sit on the throne. We'll see. ”

Dolgon's eyes were grim and he whispered.

"Prince Rui, Prince Yu, Lord Belle is already waiting for you, please come with the minions."

When Dolgon's army arrived in Yiju, Azig sent someone to contact Dolgon and invite him.

"Okay, this king will go now. Duoduo, you don't have to go, you accompany Prince Zheng to arrange for the soldiers to camp. ”

Dorgon winked at Dorgon and said in a deep voice.

When Duoduo saw Dolgon's eyes, he immediately understood what Dolgon meant, nodded in response, and then turned around and walked towards Prince Zheng Zilharang behind.

Dolgon made it clear that he wanted to let Dodor drag Zilharang and prevent Zilharang from taking the opportunity to lead the Blue Banner away.

Along the way, Zilharang already knew that Huang Taiji had died, and Jierharang was anxious to return to Shengjing, but how could Dolgon let him go.

Just like Du Du on Azig's side at this time, Du Du also wanted to return to Shengjing at this time, but was also stopped by Azig.

Azig and Dolgon were the commanders of the two armies of the Tartars, and without their orders, even if Zilharang and Dudu wanted to lead their troops back to Shengjing, they would not be able to do so.

Soon, Dorgon was taken to Azig's tent by the Tartar soldier, and the two brothers met alone.

It's a pity that the relationship between Dorgon and Azig is far less close than that between Dorgon and Dorg.

"Dolgon, you're here. Starling has died, Hauge has returned to Shengjing, and he is probably planning to inherit the throne, what are your plans? ”

Seeing Dolgon's arrival, Azig smiled lightly, looked at Dolgon, and asked.

"Hmph, as long as this king is here, Hauge can't be the throne, Brother Twelve, are you helping me, or helping Hauge!"

Dolgon said with a cold face and an unsightly complexion.

"What do you say, we are brothers, if I don't help you, I will still wait for you here!"

Azig said with a smile still on his face.

Hearing Azig say this, Dolgon breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's talk about it, what plan do you have, Hauge is the first step ahead at this time, if you don't have a good plan, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop Hauge from inheriting the throne."

Azig's expression then became serious, and he decided to take Dorgon's side and questioned Dolgon.

"Haoge got the news before us, most of it was not arranged by our starling brother, or arranged by the eldest concubine.

Haoge thought that he rushed back to Shengjing in advance and took control of the two yellow flags, and the throne would be secured, but he was still too tender.

Don't forget, our brothers have nearly 100,000 horses in their hands at this time, and we have eight banners in the Qing Dynasty, and five banners are in the hands of our brothers.

There are also Han troops and Mongolian banners, with this strength, we can make the emperors of Haoge fall short. ”

Dolgon's eyes were cold at this time, and he said.

This is also the only way for Dolgon to think about it, and that is to use the soldiers and horses in his hand as a threat to force Hauge to give up the throne.

If Haoge doesn't give up the throne, okay, then let's split up and directly split the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, and Lao Tzu will establish himself as the king.

Of course, Dolgon didn't want to really split the Eight Banners, and he did it just to blackmail Hauge and force Hauge to abdicate the throne.

Dorgon believed that as long as he and Azig joined forces, half of the Qing Dynasty men in their hands at this time would be enough to achieve this goal.

At that time, even if Hauge still wants to be the emperor, those who support him will have to think about it.

As long as the owners of the two yellow flags don't want to see them split the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, even if they support Hauge again, they will have to compromise with Dolgon.

After Azig heard Dolgon's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he sighed in his heart that his fourteenth brother was really bold and ruthless enough.

At the same time, Azig also had to admit that if he joined forces with Dorgon and used division as a threat, Haug might not be able to become emperor.

"It's a big rebellion to do this!"

Azig said with some concern, in fact, it was just for Dolgon to show him, so that he could bargain with Dolgon.

Don't think that Azig really chose to help Dolgon for the sake of his brother and Dolgon this time.

In fact, Azig is just trying to achieve his own goals by helping Dorgon.

At this point, Dolgon did not know this in his heart, and at this time, as soon as he saw Azig's expression, Dolgon understood, and it was his turn to make an offer.

"Brother Twelve, as long as you help your brother this time, when the matter is completed, I will hand over the white flag to you to command, how about it?"

At this time, in order to gain Azig's support, Dolgon also made a bloody investment.

"Is that true?"

Sure enough, when Azig heard Dolgon's words, his eyes widened, and he took two steps forward and said.

"Of course, speaking for my brother counts." Dorgon nodded affirmatively.

"Haha, okay, with the words of the fourteenth brother, the elder brother will help you, and never let Haoge sit on the throne.

However, if we don't let Hauge be the throne, then who will sit it, fourteenth brother, you won't ......"

Azig looked at Dorgon and asked warily.

Obviously, Azig thought that Dorgon was going to make himself the throne.

A wry smile appeared on Dolgon's face, and he said helplessly: "I thought that my brother's current situation has no chance of inheriting the throne."

The candidate for the new emperor can only be selected from the heirs of our starling, but no matter who is chosen, Hauge cannot be chosen. ”

Originally, Dolgon wanted to be the emperor, and before entering the customs this time, the two white flags of Dolgon and Dordo were also strong, enough to wrestle with Hauge's two yellow flags.

However, this time when he entered the customs, Dorgon suffered a big loss at the hands of the White Dragon Army, and he and Dord's two White Banner men and horses suffered a lot of losses.

In this way, it is impossible for Dorgon to fight for the throne for himself, and now he just wants to prevent Hauge from succeeding to the throne.

"So what do we do next? You've got a plan. ”

After Azig got Dolgon's promise, Azig was excited at this time and asked out loud.

"Next, let's pull people to the Mongolian steppe, and then send Prince Zheng back to Shengjing.

Zilharang is a smart man, he can see our intentions, and he knows what to do for the sake of the Qing Dynasty.

It is most appropriate for Zilharang to come forward and persuade the owners of the two yellow flags.

Let's just wait for news from Zilharang on the grassland. ”

Dorgon said to Azig.

This is also the main reason why Dolgon stopped Zilharan from leading his army away.

Dolgon not only used the centaurs in Zilharang's hands as bargaining chips on his side, but also wanted Zilharang to meet Shengjing and convey his meaning.

Dolgon believed that as long as Zilharang had to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, at this time, he would know what to choose, which would be more beneficial to the United States.

Based on Dorgon's understanding of Zilharang, it is likely that Zilharang will eventually abandon his support for Hauge and seek stability in the Qing Dynasty.

"Okay, since the fourteenth brother already has a way, then let's go and do it."

Azig said with a smile, of course he also hoped that Dolgon would succeed this time, he had always wanted to command the white flag.

"Dolgon, Azig, you are worthy of the emperor and your father for such a rebellion! You're going to ruin our Qing Dynasty! ”

Half a day later, the camp where Dorgon and Azig were staying, the angry roar of Zilharang rang out.

Obviously, Dolgon and Azig had already found Zilharang and told Dolgon what he wanted, which caused Zilharang to be so angry.

"Hmph, this throne didn't belong to Huang Taiji in the first place, if it wasn't for him back then, my father would have passed the throne to this king."

Dolgon's face was cold, and his voice was cold.

"Now this king just doesn't agree, let Haoge inherit the throne, the other starlings' heirs, whoever inherits the throne, this king will not object, this is not enough!"

Dorgon continued to speak coldly.

When Zilharang heard that Dolgon, he took the initiative to give up the struggle for the throne, just to prevent Hauge from ascending the throne and choose other heirs of Huang Taiji to succeed him.

This is something that Zilharang can barely accept.

Eventually, the people were under the eaves and had to bow their heads, and Zilharang was finally let go by Dolgon, and under the protection of a group of guards, he returned to Shengjing City.

This time, Zilharang returned to Shengjing to sit as a lobbyist for Dolgon, preparing to persuade Baylor, the other Tartar princes of Shengjing, as well as the banner masters of the Zhenghuang Banner and the two armies, to give up their support for Hauge's accession to the throne.

After Zilharang left, Dolgon and Azig led the Qing army of nearly 100,000 horses, as well as hundreds of thousands of Shanxi civilians who had attacked them.

There were also millions of taels of silver and hundreds of thousands of stone grain materials, which did not return to Shengjing, but went directly north into the steppe and temporarily settled down on the territory of the Mongols.

By the time Li Zixiao received the news from Leng Feng from outside the gate, more than a week had passed.

In a new army camp outside Kaifeng City, Li Zixiao sat in the camp, watching the news from Leng Feng.

"Hehe, Dolgon and Hauge turned their faces, and now the Tartars are themselves consumed, okay!"

Li Zixiao tore up the note and said with a smile.

Li Zixiao can't wait for it, it's best to let Dolgon lead the army and Hauge to fight, when the time comes, after the two sides fight, the Qing Dynasty will inevitably lose its troops, and it will no longer threaten the Ming Dynasty for a period of time in the future.

It's a pity that the outside of the gate is too far away from Kaifeng, and Li Zixiao can't do it even if he wants to meddle in the battle for the throne of Tartar.

He then sent a message back to Leng Feng, asking Leng Feng to pay attention to the situation of Tartar outside the gate, and send the competition between Dolgon and Hauge back to Kaifeng as soon as possible.

Immediately, Li Zixiao, who was in a good mood, walked out of the camp, and looked at the camp at this time, Wei Hong and others were reviewing batches of homeless people who were queuing up to sign up, and smiled.

At this time, according to Li Zixiao's order, Wei Hong and others were also preparing to recruit 60,000 recruits from Henan to expand the White Dragon Army and the city defense army.

The notice of the White Dragon Army's recruitment of new soldiers had just been posted inside and outside Kaifeng City, and it caused a response from the people in the city and the displaced people outside the city.

Immediately, many young people in Kaifeng City, as well as those homeless people outside the city, rushed to sign up.

"Master Hou, we still need to recruit soldiers from other states and counties in Henan, just Kaifeng City and these displaced people outside the city.

Coupled with one surrounding county, it is enough for us to pull up 100,000 horses. ”

Seeing Li Zixiao coming over, Du Tengfei ran over to greet him and said to Li Zixiao with a smile.

"Yes, how good the people are, then let Wei Hong collect more, and then slowly screen, and finally only 60,000 people will be left to select strong soldiers."

Li Zixiao replied with a smile.

When he said this, Li Zixiao and Du Tengfei had already come to Wei Hong's side, just in time for Wei Hong to hear it.

Wei Hong made a bitter face and said, "Master Hou, what you said is light, with the recruitment of so many recruits, you plan to exhaust your subordinates!" ”

"Haha, don't worry, you choose this batch of recruits slowly, train slowly, and Benhou won't need them to go to the battlefield in a short time.

As long as you can recruit 60,000 recruits in half a month and give you three months of training, that's enough! ”

"Well, three and a half months is enough." Wei Hong nodded and said.

"Master Hou walks slowly."

Li Zixiao saw that everything was going well for Wei Hong's recruitment, so he left and walked towards the other side of the barracks.

When Li Zixiao arrived at the other side of the barracks, he saw a group of 5,000 white dragon soldiers assembling, and four-wheeled carriages were parked there.

"Luo Chao, Zilong, how are you preparing?"

Li Zixiao came to Luo Chao and Zhao Zilong and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the Hou Ye, the five thousand men and horses have been assembled, and the dry food and ammunition that should be brought have also been sent by the logistics department.

In addition, there are also the fifteen wagons of food, which have just been delivered by the logistics office, and we are ready to leave tonight. ”

Luo Chao smiled, and even said excitedly.

After Li Zixiao heard this, he nodded slightly, and whispered to Luo Chao and Zhao Zilong, "This time, you are passing through Qingzhou in the name of transporting grain to Dengzhou.

When you arrive in Qingzhou, you will inevitably be interrogated by King De's men, so you must be more careful and strive to take away the 'goods' and bring them to Dengzhou smoothly. ”

"Master Hou, don't worry, we will definitely complete the task."

The batch of 'goods' that Li Zixiao mentioned was actually the more than 2 million taels of silver that Zhang Fugui and they temporarily hid in Qingzhou and stole from King De.

Li Zixiao knew that King De had blocked the roads out of Qingzhou, and it would be difficult for them to take away the silver without leaving any clues.

At this time, Li Zixiao could only use his army to carry out this task in order to have a long night and dreams.

If in the process, it is really discovered by King De, even if he tears his face with King De in the end, Li Zixiao will let Luo Chao protect him by force and transport away the batch of silver.

Compared with Li Zixiao's demand for this silver at this time, he no longer cares about offending a mere Ming prince.
