It turned out that he had been haunted by the unborn child, Su Mo'er's eyes touched slightly, she stood up, bowed to Dolgon, said "thank you", and then turned around and left. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Dolgon's anger burned at once, and his heart became even more irritable, so he took a sip of his teacup, and felt still angry, and got up and walked out of the palace.
In the Yongfu Palace, Concubine Zhuang and Empress Zhezhe both sat on the kang nervously, anxiously waiting for Su Mo'er to bring good news from Prince Rui's mansion, Su Mo'er really lived up to expectations and brought back a reply that made them very satisfied, Dolgon was willing to support the emperor's ninth son, Fulin, as the emperor, but the great power would be temporarily handed over to him.
On September 26, the six-year-old emperor's ninth son, Fu Lin, left the palace to ride to the main hall, and the nurse was afraid of a mistake because of her young age, so she climbed up and rode with him, but Fu Lin turned to angrily reprimand: "This is not the car you should sit in." ”
Born in the family of the emperor, he was always very precocious, and the six-year-old Emperor Shunzhi was already able to understand what it meant to be in a high position, which was the inviolable Ninety-Five Supreme.
Ascended the throne of antlers, announced the ascension to the throne as emperor, and appointed Prince Zheng Zierharang and Prince Rui Dolgon as auxiliary ministers, which was the first time that Emperor Fulin of Shunzhi proudly looked down on his ministers.
In the first month of the second year, in the first year of Shunzhi, Emperor Shunzhi accepted the congratulations of the ministers in the Dazheng Palace, Baidolgon was the general, gave the general the seal, and led the army south to crusade against Li Zicheng's peasant army and the Southern Ming court.
On March 19, Li Zicheng's army broke through the Forbidden City, and the desperate Chongzhen was martyred in the former Dynasty Empress Zhang, Empress Zhou, and Yuan Guifei, and then swung his sword at Princess Changping in Wuying Palace, Princess Changping's left arm was cut off, and then stabbed Princess Zhaoren to death. Then he walked to the coal mountain and hung himself on the crooked neck tree, because he had no face to face the ancestors and ancestors, so he had to wear his hair and scatter it.
After Li Zicheng's peasant army occupied the Forbidden City, he finally couldn't resist the temptation of the luxury of the imperial city, tore off the mask of hypocrisy, exposed his greedy nature, and took everything he could grab as his own, including the palace maids who stayed in the palace, many palace maids preferred to commit suicide in order to keep their innocence, and the Forbidden City was suddenly shrouded in darkness and depression.
In April, the victors who participated in the battle for the throne began to settle accounts after the autumn, first of all, Gushan Ezhen Holuo would denounce Prince Hao Ge of Su for the crime of perverse, and Emperor Shunzhi deposed Hao Ge as a concubine under the instruction of Dolgon, and his henchmen Omoketu and others were all executed, Dolgon had long hated Hao Ge, and at this time he took the opportunity to occupy his fortune and give him the greatest insult and revenge.
After punishing those who opposed his rebellion, he began to reward his supporters and vassals, including the title of Abatai as the king of the Dorora.
Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Liaodong army guarding the Shanhaiguan, was beheaded by Li Zicheng's army, and took away his concubine Chen Yuanyuan, so far, Wu Sangui was completely enraged, and the enemy of the enemy was a friend, so the Qing army, which had always been inseparable from Li Zicheng's army, became Wu Sangui's ally, and he did not hesitate to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and handed over Shanhaiguan.
On the fourth day of the fourth month of April, in the Chongzheng Palace, the scholar Fan Wencheng gave advice to Dolgon.
"Your Majesty, the Ming army has lost the Shanhaiguan, such as Qin lost its deer, Chu and Han chased it, it is not me to fight with the Ming Dynasty, but also to fight with the Liukou, the minister thinks that he should take advantage of the victory to pursue, and immediately send troops to enter the Central Plains."
Dolgon thought for a moment, looked at the soldiers standing under the court, manipulating the imperial power made him taste the sweetness of ten thousand people, expanding the hegemony, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots is the motto he has always held as a creed, if you want to expel the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, you must enter the Central Plains, so he nodded and expressed his approval.
After Fan Wencheng saw that he agreed, he continued: "The battle must be won, the attack must be taken, the thief is not as good as me; Obey the will of the people and recruit the people, I am not as good as a thief. ”
"I heard that the thief army burned and looted in the Forbidden City, and the people's hearts were lost, and the loyal general Wu Sangui will turn against the mountain customs, what Master Fan said is extremely true, we can't repeat the mistakes of the past, according to you, what should be the most appropriate?" Dorgon asked.
"It is strictly forbidden to have soldiers, there is no crime in autumn, the city must be defended, and the hearts of the people must be gathered."
So Emperor Shunzhi appointed Dolgon as a general and rewarded Dolgon and his kings, Belle, and Beizi.
On April 13, Li Zicheng led the army to Shanhaiguan to crusade against Wu Sangui, he intended to surrender Wu Sangui, but at this time Wu Sangui had already sent an envoy to the Qing Dynasty to ask for reinforcements, Dolgon knew the internal contradictions between Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng, but he saw another result from it, that is, to force Wu Sangui to surrender to the Qing Dynasty on his own.
So he deliberately delayed the speed of the Qing army's advance, and only when Li Zicheng was about to capture the city of Dongxiluo and the northern wing of the city, and Wu Sangui fought hard to fight his way out of the siege for help, Dolgon sent troops into Shanhaiguan.
After entering the customs, he did not actively advance, but waited for Wu Sangui's army to take the lead, and when he and Li Zicheng's peasant army were exhausted, he ordered the Eight Banners Army to attack and clean up the mess, and the result was naturally that the peasant army was defeated and retreated to Beijing.
The general trend has gone, and Li Zicheng knows very well in his heart that he will not come back to this country in this life, but the emperor's dream is still there, and he has to pass the emperor's addiction.
So, on April 29, Li Zicheng ascended the throne in the Wuying Palace, and sat on the coveted dragon chair, a month ago, this was the place where Chongzhen slashed and killed Princess Changping, but today it has become the land under the feet of thieves.
After accepting the admiration and kneeling of 10,000 people, he was extremely reluctant to step down from the throne, looking at the position he didn't have time to enjoy, his heart was very unwilling, "The imperial palace is magnificent, and it is better to abandon others than to burn it to make the story of Xianyang." ”
Furious, he threw down a fire with a wave of his long sleeves, and firecrackers were set off outside the palace, and in the dark and silent night, only the fire of the Forbidden City was blazing, illuminating half of the sky.
Dawn is up, Li Zicheng rode his black barge horse, rushed out of Qihua Gate, May 2, the Qing army entered the city of Beijing, the Qing army entered the customs, unstoppable, the Forbidden City became an empty city in the ashes, at this time, Dolgon suggested to the Shunzhi Emperor that the capital be moved to the Forbidden City in Beijing, and the ancestral foundation of the Ming Dynasty was owned by the Qing Dynasty.
His suggestion was approved by the majority, and on August 20, the whole country began to move the capital, and after a long journey of more than a month, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and her entourage finally arrived at the Forbidden City in Beijing in September.
Emperor Shunzhi ascended the throne in the Taihe Palace, named Dolgon as the regent of his uncle, gave him a sable python court clothes, ordered the Ministry of Rites to build a monument for Dolgon, and gave Dolgon a treasure, a black fox crown decorated with thirteen eastern pearls, a black fox fur, gold and silver, horses and camels, etc.
In the first month of the second year of Shunzhi, Turai led the cavalry to break Li Zicheng's infantry garrison in Tongguan, the rest of Li Zicheng's army fled to Xi'an, and fled to Shangzhou after being pursued by Duoduo, Azig chased all the way to Jiujiang, perseverance, and finally Prime Minister Niu Jinxing descended to the Qing Dynasty, Liu Zongmin and Song Xiance were captured alive, and Wu Sangui, who was carried away by hatred, threatened to kill Liu Zongmin alive, and was forcibly stopped by Azig.
Li Zicheng's remnants of the army only had more than ten horsemen left, and continued to follow Li Zicheng to flee to Tongshan County, Hubei, and finally left him alone, fleeing to Jiugong Mountain, on the second day of the fifth month of the second year of Shunzhi, his head was finally cut off by a shovel.
