Chapter 55: Wu Sangui

Outside Shanhaiguan, although relying on Zhao Yun's bravery to win part of the battle, but still did not change the fundamental situation, Dolgon firmly grasped the initiative on the battlefield, these days Dolgon constantly urged his soldiers to launch an attack on Shanhaiguan.

Although there were heavy casualties, Dolgon was not at all uncomfortable, after all, most of the dead were the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of the Mongols, and their Jurchen Eight Banners were almost unharmed.

However, now Dolgon has encountered a problem that has caused him a lot of headaches, and this morning he received a message from Shengjing, the content of which shocked Dolgon.

The note read, "The Mongols rebelled, and the Korqin tribe was wiped out." ”

Dolgon couldn't believe that as a general who had conquered the Mongols, Dorgon had the most say in the fighting strength of the Mongol army.

Although the Jurchen Eight Banners defeated the Mongols, it is undeniable that the bravery of the Mongols still left a deep impression on Dolgon, who really could not think of any other force that could be strong enough to destroy the Mongol Horqin.

In Dolgon's opinion, except for the Ming Dynasty, there is no other person who has this strength, but the current situation of the Ming Dynasty Dolgon is also well aware.

With the collapse of Sun Chuanting's group, Chongzhen could hardly organize a military force anymore, otherwise he would not have been bullied so badly by Li Zicheng.

Dorgon, who received the news, did not dare to delay, and immediately called Azig and Dordor.

As a brother, Dolgon naturally won't hide anything from them, although his two brothers don't seem to be very reliable, but after all, they are also experienced in a hundred battles, and the so-called three stinkers can still withstand one Zhuge Liang.

"Brother Fourteen, isn't this good news?" After reading the secret letter, Duoduo also frowned, although Shanhaiguan was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Duoduo believed that as long as he attacked for a few months, he would definitely succeed. Back then, Matsuyama Castle was also known to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, but in the end, it didn't fall into their hands.

"Do you want to withdraw from the army according to Sheng Jing's request?" Although Dorgon did not express his attitude, Dorgon already knew what was going on in his heart.

Dolgon touched the wrench on his hand, in fact, it was not that he wanted to retreat, but the queen mother of the two palaces had issued a death order asking him to withdraw his troops back to Mongolia, and Dolgon had to listen.

After all, the queen mother of the two palaces is from Horqin, and in the face of such a big change in her mother's family, no one can accept it.

"Fuck it, all the troops are in our hands now, what do they do." Azig is a fast talker, and he has always disliked the Huang Taiji family, so he naturally ignored the orders of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces.

"What do you think, Dordor? What am I going to do? Dolgon had no choice but to deal with his brother, who had developed limbs and was simple-minded, and he set his sights on his younger brother.

"Hmm." Dodor pondered for a moment.

"Brother Fourteen, I think we still have to go, now the situation in our Qing Dynasty is very delicate, although Brother Fourteen you have obtained the status of auxiliary government, but Haoge's faction is still not dead, although the two palaces have no real power, but after all, they are the emperor's mother-in-law and biological mother, if the two of them resent Brother Fourteen because of this matter and fell to Haoge, it will be more than worth the loss."

Dorgon nodded, he didn't expect his brother to have progressed so far.

It is true that Dolgon is also inclined to return to Beijing by order, after all, the influence of the empress dowager of the two palaces still needs to be considered.

More importantly, now that Mongolia has rebelled, the 40,000 Mongol soldiers left behind in the camp have become an unstable factor, and if they don't take advantage of this opportunity to retreat first, they won't be able to leave when they want to.

"Your Majesty." In Shanhaiguan, the ministers led by Zhao Yun and Wu Sangui fell to their knees.

Under the escort of Yanyun's eighteen horsemen, Zhu Youzhen had secretly arrived at Shanhaiguan.

"The emperor atones for his sins, and the guilty minister is sentenced to death." As soon as he saw Zhu Youzhen, Wu Sangui came directly and knelt down, he knew that he would definitely not be able to hide the news of the Qing army's entry into the customs, and it was better for him to admit it now generously than to be exposed in the end.

Zhu Youzhen didn't speak, but clapped his hands, and a eunuch flashed out behind him, and behind this eunuch was a woman.

"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan." Seeing the woman's face, Wu Sangui thought he was dazzled, so he quickly rubbed it, and rushed directly after making sure that he was not mistaken.

Wu Sangui dragged Chen Yuanyuan's arm and looked at it carefully, for fear that she would be injured.

"Xianggong, Emperor, Emperor." Being looked at by Wu Sangui like this, Chen Yuanyuan was embarrassed, his face suddenly flushed, and he hurriedly reminded in a whisper.

was reminded by Chen Yuanyuan like this, Wu Sangui realized that he had lost his temper, and quickly knelt down, "The minister is a capital crime, a capital crime." ”

Zhu Youzhen helped Wu Sangui up, "Don't say that you are guilty at every turn, I see that you are not guilty of anything." ”

Zhu Youzhen's words suddenly surprised Wu Sangui, he couldn't believe his ears, and even a little doubtful that he was still standing in front of the suspicious emperor.

"Your Majesty? Won't you cure me of the crime of collusion with the Qing Tartars? Wu Sangui thought left and right, he never believed that the emperor would spare himself like this, it was better to die than to suffer, so he mustered up the courage to ask directly.

"I'll tell you the truth, if it were me, I would do the same, so I don't think there's anything wrong with you, and besides, didn't you immediately refuse to let the Qing soldiers enter the customs after receiving my order? On this point, I felt that you were not only innocent but meritorious, so I decided. ”

"Wu Sangui listened to the seal."

"The minister is here."

"Title you as the general of the expedition to the east, the marquis of Pingxi, and be responsible for cooperating with Zhao Yun, the governor of Liaodong, to recover Liaodong."

Wu Sangui was overjoyed, not only did he not get the punishment he expected, but he was promoted, and he was so excited that he immediately kowtowed and thanked him.

"Your Majesty? What do you think of recovering Liaodong? Wu Sangui didn't say it explicitly, but there was no bottom in his heart.

Even if he is as strong as Yuan Chonghuan, he can't recover Liaodong, let alone him Wu Sangui, and now that the siege of Shanhaiguan has not been solved, how can he talk about recovering Liaodong, of course, Wu Sangui will not be stupid enough to directly say that the emperor is daydreaming.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen saw what Wu Sangui was worried about, and he patted Wu Sangui on the shoulder, "Don't worry, tomorrow morning, all the Qing troops outside Shanhaiguan will withdraw from the siege, and the restoration of Liaodong that I said will definitely not be completed by you immediately, I will give you time." ”

"The minister has thanked Your Majesty, if Your Majesty has nothing to do, the minister will retire." At this time, Wu Sanguixin had already flown to Chen Yuanyuan, where was he willing to waste any more time.
