Chapter 437: Dolgon in Trouble
Some people are happy and some are worried, in Ningyuan City, the snow is flying all over the sky, and the little eunuch is almost dancing, but there are people who are five hundred miles away but they are anxious, looking at the roaring storm and snow outside, their brows are twisted, and it is not good to go out of the school!
There is a valley in the mountains of Fuxin to the west ten miles, there is a village in the valley, the village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, the reckless mountains are stacked and do not see the edge, the tents and flags are lined up around the village, the mules and horses are in groups, the 130,000 troops assembled by Dolgon march here, and stop here temporarily camped in case of wind and snow.
It has been snowing for three days in a row, and the snow on the ground is almost knee-long, but the hateful thing is that God has not stopped it, and it has been drifting and fluttering.
The village has been occupied as the place of residence of Dolgon and other generals, every day in addition to seeing the map of the city to discuss the war into the customs, is to drink and watch the snow, waiting for the snow to stop the army, from Fuxin straight to the southwest Chaoyang, Chengde, until the north of the capital Miyun to find an opportunity to enter the customs, this journey of nearly a thousand miles is full of mountain roads, is expected to reach half a month, as for the grain and grass and baggage are almost nothing, because they are going to rob, walking and grabbing, rushing to eat.
Two years ago, in the Battle of Songjin, Dolgon defeated the Ming army in one fell swoop and captured Hong Chengchou, Zu Dashou and other Ming generals, encroached on the land of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of miles, and became the first person to open up the territory since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.
And now after two years of recuperation, the army is strong and strong, and the ambition in the heart can not be suppressed, and the situation in the Ming Dynasty is chaotic at this time, it is the time to fish in troubled waters, from half a year ago began to prepare for the re-entry of Dolgon, when the thief army heard the eastward expedition of the thief army a month ago, decisively assembled the army, at this time the news of the thief army attacking Taiyuan has come, Taiyuan is a big city, the west gate of the capital, if it is lost, the consequences are unbearable, the Ming army will definitely gather a large army to go to the battle, the surrounding area of the capital must be empty, at this time it is really a good time to enter the customs, so immediately send troops.
But just as he was leaving, another news came, the thieves were defeated in Taiyuan, turned around and fled to the east of Lu'an Mansion to make trouble in the Central Plains, it was obvious that the intelligence of the Qing army was a little slow, after all, it was thousands of miles away.
Under the discussion of Dolgon and the generals, he resolutely continued to march, and the defeat of the army was not much important to the overall situation, although he won the Ming court is difficult to care about, he defeated the Ming army also injured himself eight hundred, tired of coping, and must not be able to watch him wreak havoc on the Central Plains, but also to suppress bandits.
So Dorgon marched and invaded.
It's just that it seems that he didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out, God gave his face, and the wind and snow blocked him in this mountain nest for several days, Dolgon is really a nest fire, if it is delayed for too long, the grain and grass brought are not enough to supply to the border of the Ming Dynasty, it will cause a series of difficulties.
After the predicament, it is very likely that it will be a one-hit kill for him!
Because this time the troops are also extremely important to Dolgon himself, and he must not make any mistakes, which is related to all his net worth and life in the Great Qing Kingdom.
In later generations, the palace fighting scenes were mainly Qing palace dramas, but the dirty things in the harem compared to the power struggles of the princes and county kings of the Qing Dynasty are simply trivial, not worth mentioning, and it can even be said that the past dynasties are unparalleled.
Last year, Huang Taiji died suddenly, leaving no will, the country can not be without a king for a day, it stands to reason that the eldest son Brother Hao should take the throne, but Dolgon at this time has great achievements and power, he also wants to do it!
So it immediately became similar uncles and nephews in the early Ming Dynasty to fight for the throne, and the Chinese Wu also stood in line, and the original Huang Taiji's Zhenghuang Banner and Haoge's own Zhenglan Banner and the Blue Banner led by Prince Zheng Zierharang all supported Haoge's accession to the throne, but Dolgon's two battle achievements of the same mother were impressive, and the powerful brothers Duoduo and Azig strongly supported Dolgon's ascendancy.
The two groups nearly fought each other for the throne, but in the end they negotiated to take a step back, with the six-year-old Fulin on the throne and Dolgon and Zilharang as regent at the same time.
In the end, it seemed that he shook hands and made peace, but in fact, the fierce tide was surging, after all, it was just Wendou who had killed several people, such as Daishan's second son Shuo Zhen and grandson Adali.
Where did the imperial power come from, the father-son relationship, brothers and sisters, kill when they say kill, the royal family of the Han people is like this, and the Qing people are also like this, Nurhachi killed the eldest son Chu Ying back then, but he didn't blink his eyelids.
Dolgon, as the regent, controls the government as if he is too emperor, in fact, he also knows very well in his heart, at this time, like a flat boat in a storm, it will be overturned.
Although he has several brothers who have made great achievements, there are many who oppose him, not to mention Zierharang and Daishan, and the sons and nephews are led by Hauge, which is a force to be reckoned with.
Because these nephews, such as Hauge, Nikan, Bolo, and Yue Zhen, are now the backbone of the Qing army, all of them are brave and good at fighting, and their military achievements are extremely influential in the army.
Interestingly, although these nephews are a generation younger than Dolgon, most of them are the same age as him, or even older than him, such as the second eldest of the Daishan family, Yue Xue is thirteen years older than Dolgon.
There is no way, Nurhachi has many wives and sons, a total of sixteen princes, the eldest Chu Ying is forty years older than the old Fei Yang Guo, and the second generation of good is nearly thirty years older than the old fourteenth Dolgon!
In ancient times, early marriage and early pregnancy, it was not uncommon to be a father at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and it was even more common for grandchildren of large families to be older than their sons.
All in all, in the face of such a huge potential threat, Dolgon must consolidate his position with a victory, of course, he also knows that if the division is unfavorable, he can be found to settle accounts from Shenyang to Changbai Mountain.
Outside the Qing army barracks, four Ming army envoys were surrounded by the Qing army, and then they were slammed to the ground, and then one of them found a secret letter from his body and hurriedly ran to the camp.
After half a cup of tea, all the generals of the camp received the word regent's dictation, and the big tent was discussed!
The Qing army invaded this time, with the regent Dolgon as the general to lead the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han Eight Banner Army, and there were also two devils, a total of more than 100,000 Korean soldiers, all of whom were famous generals with outstanding military achievements, in addition to the Manchurian and Mongolian generals, Duoduo, Abatai, Azig, Haoge, Nikan, Yue Xuan, etc., there are also Sanshun Wang, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde, etc., it can be said that in addition to Zierharang and Daishan in Shenyang to supervise abroad, almost all the fierce generals of the Great Qing Dynasty were dispatched, and their ambitions can be seen.
Of course, there is another reason for bringing so many generals out, Dolgon is not at ease!
If you want to go together, you want to die together, I am especially out to fight the world, and when I come back in the blink of an eye, you secretly ascended the throne, isn't it unreasonable.
In the handsome tent, the generals have gathered and are circulating the beggar letter sent by Wu Sangui.
The thief in the Central Plains blade can not be stopped, the momentum is like a wind all the way north to Baoding Mansion, the capital is in danger, the Shanhaiguan general Gao Di took the opportunity to support the army to make a rebellion, Wu Sangui, who wanted to enter the Jingqin King, had to come to beg for help, and asked the Qing army to send troops to help.
There was an uproar in the tent, and for a while the spit was frothing and noisy, and the matter was gradually divided into two factions, one may be fraud, and the other is very likely to be the truth, but most of them are biased towards the Ming Court at this time, and it is very likely that they are in danger at this time!
The basis is very simple, the thief army was divided into two ways when the army went east, and the main force of the thieves had asked the Ming court to mobilize all the troops to Taiyuan to deal with it, but the Central Plains was empty, but Liu Fangliang was unstoppable in all directions, and after the thieves were defeated, they went straight to the Central Plains to join the division, and the blade was sharper, and the Ming court could not deal with it and was beaten by them to Baoding Mansion, the south gate of the capital, and it was very likely that it was not surprising at all.
As for Gaodi's rebellion, although it was unexpected, it was not unexpected at all, at this time there were thieves everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong in the south, Li Zicheng in the northwest, and Baiwang in the south of the Yangtze River.
As for those who think there is fraud, they are suspicious, the Qing army has besieged Beijing several times, but they have not been defeated, why are those mud legs, and at this time, they are still in Baoding and have not besieged the city, Wu Sangui is in a hurry!
But if you must say that it is a fraud, who can not say a practical reason, after all, throughout the ages, there has been turmoil in the country, and the suppression of foreign troops abounds, at this time the Ming court is powerless to deal with the thieves, Wu Sangui outside the gate is the only adjustable man, but he was blocked by Gao Di outside, at this time, it is not impossible to ask the Qing army for help!
If this matter is true, there will definitely be huge profits to be made, and the worst can also let the Ming court cede Ning Yuan and expand the territory of the Qing Dynasty to Shanhaiguan, as soon as he thought of this, Dolgon couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body, and expanded his territory, the first person in the Qing Dynasty! At that time, who dared to disobey them, and dared to break my wrists!
