Chapter Ninety-Six: Regent, Don't Go!
"What is this for?"
In front of the Tianan Gate of Zijin City, Hu Biao, an agent of the Jinyi Wei Intelligence Department, asked an old man beside him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In fact, whether it is Beijing or Shanhaiguan, there are a large number of secret spy activities on both sides, after all, this is not an enemy country that looks like a different language, neither Yang Feng nor Dolgon has the ability to really block the infiltration of spies.
At this time, in the huge square in front of Hu Biao, an extremely spectacular scene was being staged, tens of thousands of officials and gentry faced the palace, kneeling on the top of a tablet, looking like a colorful frog, the tablet was not the name of their ancestors, but the wild boar skin and Huangtai Jiye. At the front, there was a large group of white-haired old men holding the Book of the People, holding the book of the people, holding it above their heads with a solemn face, and a few of them couldn't even hold it anymore, so they had to be held up by their own children and grandchildren next to them, and what was even more exaggerated was that there were a large number of monks and nuns kneeling inside, looking very swaggering.
"What else can I do, the regent wants to go back to save Shenyang, and all the officials and the people will stay in charge!"
The old man said disdainfully.
"Uh, shameless!"
Hu Biao said something subconsciously, then reacted, and looked at the old man with vigilant eyes.
"What do you want to face?"
The old man spat and said: "The emperor called back that their officials are gone, the money is gone, and the land is gone, as long as the Tartars can keep this for them, what do they want to do?" These people have knelt down for three masters a year, what kind of face do they want! Then Sun Zhiqi even shaved his head, and his ancestors don't want it, so he's afraid of being shameless? Look, isn't that the big squire Sun coming? ā
The old man gestured into the distance.
Hu Biao hurriedly looked up, and saw Sun Da Lang, who was flicking the tail of the rat, with a family member, and he didn't know what he was carrying, so he hurriedly ran to the front and knelt down.
At this moment, countless cries suddenly sounded in the crowd, and everyone raised their heads and looked at the figure that appeared on the city tower, just like the people who looked up to their sun during the celebration of a certain country, all those officials and gentry raised their hands towards him with tears in their eyes, and even some people knelt on the ground and lay forward, and a few people who were too old and had weak legs, because of the slow speed and were pressed under the people behind, and they didn't know if the bones of the body could hold up.
"Regent, you can't go!"
"Regent, the Qing Dynasty can't abandon the people!"
"Lord Regent, you can't abandon the world!"
ā¦ā¦
Countless voices converge into waves.
The officials and gentry of the Qing Dynasty, in this spectacular way, expressed their loyalty to their regent.
The corners of Dorgon's eyes moistened on the castle tower.
"What a good people!"
He wiped away the tears that didn't exist.
"Lord Regent, the people are longing! The will of heaven cannot be violated, once the imperial army leaves Beijing, the demonic rebel army will inevitably take advantage of the weakness to poison Beijing, and it will be difficult to fight back at that time, you can't abandon the world, the minister implores the regent to take back his order, the king can't go, and the people in the gate can't live without you! If the regent insists on returning to the north, the ministers will jump from this tower, and they will never be able to see the evil poisoning Beijing! ā
Feng Quan said as he lay at his feet.
Then Wang Aoyong and Chen Mingxia, plus a large group of senior officials behind, all knelt on the ground.
"Everyone, Aiqing, please get up, this king doesn't want to abandon such a good people, but the demon is approaching Shengjing, Shengjing's defense is empty, Taizu Taizong's mausoleum is in danger, the emperor and the queen mother are in danger, and this king has no choice, no matter how important this pass is, it is not as important as the two palaces and the tombs, if this king does not go back, once Shengjing is lost, what face will he have to see Taizu Taizong?"
Dolgon picked up Feng Quan and said.
"Regent, we can attack the east of Jidong and force that demon to come back."
Chen Mingxia said.
"Hundreds of thousands of troops from the Wu Rebellion Department in eastern Hebei have gathered, even if they can sweep it, it will take time, and Shengjing is already in danger, and he can't wait that long."
Dorgon said bitterly.
Wu Sangui had a total of 70,000 horses in seven towns, and he actually let him blow hundreds of thousands.
"Lord Wang, with the royal division of the imperial court, and then gather all the green camps from all over the country, in addition to the army of the king of Pingxi, the righteous divisions of various Mongolian departments, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers out of eastern Hebei, they will definitely be able to quell the demons in one go."
Chen Mingxia said.
"This, this is still too risky!"
Dorgon said.
"Regent!"
At this moment, there was a sudden shout from under the city walls.
Dorgon turned his head hurriedly.
Then I saw that on the Jinshui Bridge, Sun Zhiqiang, the right attendant of the military department, was standing there, and he was still kneeling at his feet to give the military department to Guang Shiheng, and Guang Shiheng had taken off the official hat on his head, and the original bun was untied and was grabbed by Sun Zhizhi in his hand, and Sun Zhizhi was holding a sharp razor in his other hand.
Sun Shilang looked at Dolgon on the city wall with a look of righteousness and shouted: "Regent, the people in the Guannan are loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and they are no different from the foreigners in the Guan, why does Your Highness favor one over the other, and abandon the people in the Guanguan for the people outside the Guan?" Don't you know that once Wang Shi leaves, this Beijing city will definitely fall into the hands of that demon? The minister thinks that there is nothing more than this on the inside and outside of the gate, and the minister will let His Highness see the courage and loyalty of my subjects in the gate today! ā
After finishing speaking, he raised the knife in his hand, and with extremely skillful movements, he shaved off the hair in front of Guang Shiheng in a few clicks.
Before the city of Beijing was broken, the attitude of preventing Chongzhen from moving the capital to Nanjing was the most intense, and then Li Zicheng surrendered the fastest when he arrived, and he knelt there with the same righteous face, looking solemnly at the city tower, and let Sun Zhiqi scrape and scrape on his scalp, and soon most of his hair was shaved, revealing a piece of Aomorisen's scalp, and then Sun Zhiqi grabbed the remaining handful and began to braid there skillfully.
Everyone watched this scene dumbfounded, and even Feng Quan and his gang were stupid.
Although after Sun Zhiqi took the lead, there were indeed many speculative and shameless people who learned to shave their hair and make it easy to obey him in order to be lucky, but the gentry still despised this, and even the flag people did not want to see them.
"The minister is also willing to shave his will!"
Then Li Ruolin, the priest of the country, walked out of the crowd with great righteousness, knelt down beside Guang Shiheng and kowtowed to the ground and said.
"The minister is also willing to shave his will!"
"I would like to shave my will!"
ā¦ā¦
Then more and more officials and gentry stepped forward and knelt on the Jinshui Bridge.
At this time, Sun Zhiqi had already finished braiding the braid on Guang Shiheng's head, dragging it on his bare head like a slender rat's tail, and Guang Daren subconsciously shook it, and his expression was like extremely proud and honored. And then Sun Zhiqi walked to Li Ruolin's side and began to shave the hair of the Guozi Priest Wine, at this time the Jinshui Bridge was already kneeling with people, Sun Zhiqi waved to the side, and the person who came with him hurriedly stepped forward with a razor.
Feng Quan, who was on the city tower, glanced at Dolgon deeply, and then knelt down on the ground without hesitation and said: "The old minister is willing to shave his will, and the minister asks the regent to decree that all the subjects of the Qing Dynasty should shave their hair and be easy to wear, so as to show that there is no difference between inside and outside, and work together to eliminate evil and recreate my prosperous Qing Dynasty." ā
"Haha, Feng Qing said it well, work together to eliminate demons and recreate my prosperous Qing Dynasty!"
Dorgon lifted him up and said happily.
"What about Master Wang?"
Feng Quan hurriedly asked.
"Don't go, there are such subjects, how dare this king abandon it, immediately mobilize the green camps from all over the country, and then send a decree to the king of Pingxi, transfer the Mongolian army that followed him to the west, and ask him to send at least 20,000 horses over, this king doesn't believe it, let's work together, the 400,000 army can't beat down the Shanhaiguan, and then let's kill the Shanhaiguan to see where the demon can stay!"
Dolgon said heroically.
"Also, send a decree to Yan Shenggong to see what he thinks about this matter of shaving his hair and making it easy to wear, what Qing said is right, after all, it looks different from inside and outside without shaving his hair!"
Then he added.
"Uh, Your Honor!"
Feng Quan hurriedly said.
Of course, he knew that this play on the Jinshui Bridge was arranged by Dolgon, and Sun Zhiqi was like a dog, wagging his tail at Dolgon's feet every day, and now it was strange that such a play was not arranged by Dolgon! To put it bluntly, Dolgon, this is coercion, either shave your hair and make it easy to obey, let's work together to use the whole green camp as cannon fodder and knock down the Shanhaiguan to kick the dog emperor out of everyone's sight, or he will pick and quit and take the Eight Banners back to Liaodong to save his hometown, in short, this is a showdown.
Since that's it, just shave.
Isn't it just a few hairs! Scholar Feng, who knelt down to Wei Zhongxian back then, didn't have any burden in his heart, still cared about this?
As for the green battalion as cannon fodder......
It's about him, and it's not that he is going to be cannon fodder, those green battalions are nothing more than some old guard soldiers, and there are also regimental exercises originally organized by the gentry in various places, although these soldiers died as cannon fodder on the battlefield, which will make the Han superintendent who actually controls the place in a weak position in front of the banner people, but this is not a big deal, and then recruit after death, they are nothing more than poor people who can't eat, as long as such people have money and food, how much do they want.
In short, as long as Dorgon doesn't leave, everything else is fine.
If he leaves, then the emperor will come, and the sky will really fall.
I really want to stop the emperor......
You still have to rely on the tartars!
Master Feng sighed secretly in his heart.
"Your Majesty, it's not that the minister is disloyal to the Ming Dynasty, it's that you abandoned the minister yourself, why do you say you're so stubborn? Why can't you be a holy lord like you used to? If you had been magnanimous, we wouldn't have come so far. Although your wife and children are dead, it can be said that the family is ruined, which is indeed a bit miserable, but it is not our harm, if you want to find it, you have to find Li Zicheng, and find the miscellaneous pieces of the Donglin Party that caused chaos in the world! It's really unreasonable for you to keep holding on to us, and we're not the Donglin Party, uh, Chen Mingxia is, you can kill him!
In fact, we also want to be loyal and righteous soldiers!
We don't look like traitors and lackeys!
You forced us! ā
Master Feng shouted silently in his heart.
