Chapter 459: Liaoyang Crisis
Originally, Dolgon proposed to establish Ye Bushu as the emperor, after all, Ye Bushu's mother's strength is too weak, compared to the many Mongolian concubines all over the harem, it is not a little bit worse, for example, the Zhuang concubine of Yongfu Palace has the support of the queen and her mother's Mongolian Horqin Department. At the critical moment, it is possible to make a big effort, and besides, those magnates of the two yellow flags have basically reached a consensus under the instruction of the queen and fully support Fulin to seize the emperor's throne.
Dolgon proposed Ye Bushu as a candidate for the throne, but instead let his mother concubine Yan Zha be bullied in the palace, and even more, the generals of the two yellow flags directly proposed to bypass Dolgon and directly let Fulin ascend the throne, making it an instant fact, and whoever opposes it at that time will be a rebellion.
However, Concubine Zhuang in the Yongfu Palace, Bumu Butai is not such a reckless person, and knows that if he cannot obtain Dorgon's understanding, he will not be able to prove that he is smooth and secure the position of emperor. But fortunately, there are two yellow flags in the eight banners, and there are the Eastern Mongolian tribes behind him as backers. Even if Dolgon wants to be strong, he has to consider the consequences, but now the two sides are in a stalemate, don't look at the more than 10,000 troops in his hands, he has an advantage in Shengjing, and in the end, it is the will of a few powerful people who determines the ownership of the throne.
So, what we have to do now is to try our best to gather those royal figures who are free from the two sides, such as the Prince of Li, who has always had an ambiguous attitude, Dai Shan, according to Dai Shan's previous temperament, he will never come to fight for the throne, but because of this, whoever he supports, who can almost safely ascend to the throne. After careful consideration, Bumu Butai decided to send his henchmen to talk to him in detail, and he must win him over.
Dolgon had always been with Daizen, and he must have reached some kind of agreement with him beforehand, and if he wanted to break the agreement between them, he would have to make more concessions and compromises. However, compared to the throne, this is not a problem, as long as Fu Lin can ascend to the throne smoothly, even if the Daishan family is crowned king, it is not impossible.
In the end, this heavy responsibility fell on Sony, who was not a member of the imperial family, but he was attached to the Imperial Taiji Center and wholeheartedly supported Fu Lin's accession to the throne as emperor. When Concubine Zhuang secretly found him and explained this task, she agreed almost without hesitation.
However, the situation is changing rapidly, and Concubine Zhuang Bumu Butai plans to make a false deal with Dolgon first to delay time. Unexpectedly, at such a critical moment, there was an urgent military report from Liaoyang. The Ming army had actually broken into the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty, and Concubine Zhuang Bumubutai was really not a simple woman, and she quickly regained her calm under the shock of the shock, and he was keenly aware that Dolgon would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble. Sure enough, Dolgon's attitude hardened again, and the lion opened his mouth and made a request that she would not have been able to agree to.
Concubine Zhuang wanted to ignore it, but she obviously underestimated the unfavorable situation of the situation, many powerful people in Beijing are in Liaoyang area of land Zhuangzi, there are countless men and slaves, it can be said that the property is huge, if you ignore it, the loss can be imagined.
So these magnates took the lead and couldn't sit still, and asked the court to administer justice for them. Concubine Zhuang summoned the magnates of the two yellow flags at a critical moment to appease, and at the same time expressed her attitude to let them relax, and the court would do its best to send troops to quell the chaos.
But everyone in Beijing knows that the Qing Dynasty has been winning more and losing less than the Ming Dynasty for many years, so that the upper and lower levels have developed the habit of extremely contemptuous of the Ming Dynasty. And in this Shanhaiguan offensive and defensive battle, almost all the armor soldiers of the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners were dispatched, and Shengjing really had no soldiers to send now. You can't send out the thousands of soldiers who defend the city, so who will guard Shengjing?
It was also because of this that the Ming army took advantage of this big loophole.
So all the princes and generals in Beijing held a meeting to decide who would send troops to meet the Ming army, and finally Dolgon was expected to return. However, Dolgon said that he was not sick at this time, and more than 10,000 elite armor soldiers with white flags were camped outside Shengjing City, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry about this matter.
However, the shape shì did not wait for anyone, Liaoyang's military newspaper flew to Shengjing like snowflakes, and the surrounding fortresses were captured one after another, all the Manchus were killed, and the Han people all cut off the thumb of their right hand.
Concubine Zhuang Bumubutai finally couldn't sit still, so she made a bold decision, she was going to go out of the city to meet Dolgon herself, and ask him to send troops to deal with those Southern Dynasty Bright Imps. If the Eight Banners Armor Soldier had one banner here to obey the dispatch, why would she be so overstretched now. However, if you use a pawn, you will be beaten passively everywhere if you miss a move, not to mention that it is not a move and a half.
In Shengjing City, as night fell, a small sedan chair quietly left the palace under the escort of dozens of Baturu, and went all the way out of the city, heading straight to the Dolgon camp.
Dolgon's army was really rigorous, because Concubine Zhuang's arrival was not known in advance, and there was almost a misunderstanding, until the sentry scouts of the two white flags learned that it was Concubine Zhuang's arrival, and it was clear that it was a false alarm. Dolgon really gave face, and despite being sick in bed, he still met Concubine Zhuang in person.
Despite the sweltering heat of the summer nights, Dolgon's tent was tightly covered with not a hint of wind. As soon as Bumu Butai entered the door, she felt a burst of medicinal smell mixed with the heat, of course she didn't think that Dolgon was really sick, but she still admired Dolgon's acting skills, and it was not easy to suffer from this stuffy heat.
Seeing Dolgon lying on the sickbed again, Bumubutai came close with a gait and said goodbye, and sat on the edge of Dolgon's bed without hesitation.
"How did Dorgon become so sick? It is better to go into the city to have a good life, after all, the conditions in the city are much better than this military camp, and the imperial medicine is also much more convenient. ”
The butter wax in the tent was fluttering, and Dolgon's face was covered with beads of sweat, but it was the first time that he had been in such close contact with his imperial sister-in-law, although the air was filled with the smell of medicine, he still faintly smelled a trace of the smell of the woman in front of him, and even reached out to hold the hand of Bu Mu Butai that was stacked on the side of the bed.
Bumu Butai suddenly felt something different, and struggled lightly but was grabbed tighter, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on her blown-up face, and she stopped struggling. As for Dolgon, where is there still a shadow of half a patient?
This night was destined to be unpeaceful, and the news of Liaoyang's emergency once again reached Shengjing, and the queen of the palace personally sent her henchmen eunuchs to find Dolgon's military camp to find Concubine Zhuang back. The dispatch of troops is imminent, but the selection of candidates is undecided.
Bumu Butai returned in vain, so he had to organize the powerful domestic slaves in the city to retreat from the enemy, and the Ming army had always been weak, so that he could bypass Dorgon's blackmail and solve the current crisis. And the benefits are obvious, if they can solve this crisis smoothly, Dolgon's ugly face will be exposed, and the people who originally turned to Dolgon will probably turn back to him because of the damage to their own property and slaves.
As a result, the temporary organization of each family slave gathered five or six thousand people, and Du Du, the son of Chu Ying and the nephew of Huang Taiji, personally led this group of house slaves south to Liaoyang. Du Du is not easy to deal with, he was Yue Tuo's deputy marshal when he entered the Ming Dynasty last year, and his handling after Yue Tuo's death was also extremely appropriate.
As the saying goes, the prime minister's men are six officials, and the masters of these domestic slaves are all the top figures in the Qing Dynasty.
Du Du led such a group of arrogant and domineering house slaves as a royal prince, and his identity was enough to deter them, and for a time there was a strong alliance, and this time the troops should be returned triumphantly in everyone's eyes.
……
Liaoyang City is south of Shengjing, and Heisenberg led thousands of troops to besiege the city with great fanfare, but in fact it was a feint, and the only thing was to attract Shengjing's attention, as long as they could profit from it. Sure enough, Shengjing sent a team of 5,000 people a month, and it is said that it was composed of domestic slaves of the powerful in the city.
Lu Jiu was most worried that Dolgon did not come, which made him greatly relieved, as long as this person did not come, he would say it easily, not to mention that only five thousand people came. Heisenberg immediately convened a meeting of all the main generals, and after some study, everyone agreed that with the current strength, they could fight.
When Du Du led the army of domestic slaves to Liaoyang, he was stunned to find that there were Ming troops in front of him that stretched for several miles.
"Anping Baylor, it's too much to wait, let's rush forward, break up these Nanban in one round, and catch some slaves by the way......"
Du Du looked at the Ming army lined up in front of him, thoughtful, but saw that the army of domestic slaves under his command was high-spirited, and resolutely ordered to charge, and took the lead.
Behind the cavalry, yellow dust rolled up in the sky, and the army rolled like a sea of tides, roaring away, as if it was about to swallow up all the Ming soldiers.
Heisenberg was at the forefront of the battle formation, and he had seen countless such cavalry charges, and he had long been undaunted by them, and had given the order to open fire. As the shells were fired, the artillery battalion began to move forward, and after selecting a more suitable gun position, it began to reload the projectiles. Immediately after that, the artillery battalion opened fire again, and the dense scattered bullets were like plow rakes, plowing along the army of house slaves under Du Du, and suddenly a group of people turned on their backs.
But Du Du, who took the lead, had no fear on his face, the cavalry was extremely fast, no matter how powerful the Ming army's artillery was, how many shots could he fire? What's more, in order to prevent the cannon from shaking the sky and causing the horse to panic, these war horses have long blocked the horse's ears with rags.
"Kill!"
