Chapter 87: Rare
It should be said that although at this time, the main force has been completely encircled by Li Xiangqian and others, and there are a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled left, but these participating Eight Banner nobles still have some executive power, they are all old drivers, and they know how to deal with it.
In the large plains of Liaodong in Liaoxi, especially in the basic absence of a separate small village, the entire Liaodong was killed into a blank land, basically there were no free people, only slaves and clothing, so the strategy was also very simple, around the lines of communication and drinking water to fight, the Ming army (if it was the Ming army) exhausted, busy coping, lengthening the supply line, consuming physical energy, and finally exposed flaws and suffered defeat.
Although they had already heard about the big iron house flying in the sky, under the command of Zierharang, according to their guesses, Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng colluded to introduce Dolgon into the Shanhaiguan Pass City, block the mouth, and then I don't know why, those tiger warriors were finished.
Although they still didn't believe what Kong Youde said, these people who stayed in Shengjing basically intersected with the small soldiers who ran back from the front line, whether it was the Goryeo sticks who ran over to fight for the tiger, or the Mongolian horse thieves who ran to rob with their relatives, they all claimed in unison that they did see the thing flying in the sky.
After a busy half a day, Kong Youde, a hardcore traitor, has made up his mind, so he is still fast enough, and all the craftsmen outside the city have been driven to their residences without knowing anything, of course, a better description may be a shack.
Among them, there must be blood and tears, looting, those beast soldiers under Kong Youde, they were already frightened, and the result of fleeing for a few days, the dark side of their hearts has accumulated to the highest because of the sleepless days in the past few days, they dare not make a move on the strong in their eyes, so they attack the weaker, during which they naturally caused a lot of blood and tears, many killings, and any resistance is directly bulldozed, after all, as a time bomb, these craftsmen are focused on guarding, so that the later generations of Yan said in a certain year, "I am the rise of the Qing Dynasty", It is inseparable from the low standard of life of these craftsmen.
When Kong Youde, who was covered in blood and sweat, cleaned everything up, and looked at Aobai, who had been staring at him with bad intentions, he suddenly said: "Lord Aobai, we have been in chaos here for so long, presumably the noise is going to spread to the palace, and this place has been born in peace, I am ready to let the brothers go back to the camp to rest, you might as well take these brothers to the queen mother and the emperor, report safety, let the queen mother and the emperor feel at ease, and let the queen mother and the emperor know that our brothers are loyal to the emperor." ”
After speaking, the hand he was still holding the knife before wiped a few tears on his face: "When I think that when I have nowhere to go, it is because my heart is dead, thanks to the invitation of the first emperor, I can survive to this day, I dare not speak, and I also asked Lord Ao to meet the emperor and tell me what I mean by serving the emperor." ”
Ao Bai didn't understand what it meant at first, but later, after listening to it, he really understood that people who can survive in the sea of swords and fires are not fools, and naturally know that Kong Youde is losing his sincerity to the little emperor of Shunzhi, it is difficult for Shunzhi to be only six years old, what can he know, what is really important, or Kong Youde puts the queen mother in front of the emperor every time, which of course means that he should ask the queen mother.
Ao worship, but serious royalists, last year Huang Taiji just died, Dolgon is in power, his heart is hot, four in tandem to make a wish, as long as you support me Dolgon as the emperor, I will give you benefits.
The three Dolgon brothers are the most powerful, and the most are in the prime of life, and the strength of the others is actually not small, but there are more soy sauce among them, and at this time, the guards led by Ao Bai stood behind Hauge, becoming one of the core figures in this battle for the throne, Ao Bai swore in the early morning of the same day with the ministers of the two yellow flags in the Qing Gate, resolutely supported the son of Huang Taiji, and ordered the elite guards to be fully armed with the Chongzheng Palace, ready to meet each other at any cost, Under the threat of force against Dolgon from coveting the throne with a group of generals loyal to Huang Taiji, Dolgon had to make concessions and propose to support Huang Taiji's son Shunzhi, who had just learned to walk, as emperor.
Of course, as a condition for compromise, Ao Bai naturally has to stand aside, this expedition to Shanhaiguan, naturally there is no part of him, Kong Youde said this, but it caused Ao Bai to nod again and again, loyal to the first emperor, for Ao Bai, but can no longer be politically correct, it is something that must be done.
Kong Youde saw that Aobai began to be pleasant, as a traitor, he was naturally good at observing words and feelings, or the life of many years of exile, so he had to do this, "Lord Aobai, the Queen Mother has to work hard, and now I am in the Qing Dynasty is encountering a big hurdle, at this time, the Horqin tribe from which the Queen Mother was born is an object to rely on, and the meaning of the Queen Mother is very important." ”
Ao Bai, speaking of which, is a reckless man, maybe the trap of swords and swords can be avoided, but there is no long-term view, he immediately has an opinion, and said anxiously: "What do you mean, you want to get involved in the affairs of the palace?" ”
Kong Youde scolded secretly and said: "Lord Aobai, now our situation is in danger, don't you know, people and horses are now taken to Shanhaiguan by the regent, flying in the sky, but the one who comes is not good, until now, how many days, there is no response at all, even if a scout is sent back, it can be seen that the people over there, but they can eat the power of the 100,000 army at one time, I also know, you must scold me, I refused to go to rescue the regent at that time, but I don't dare, the regent's men are all cavalry, it is not good to see it, Originally, he could have walked directly, who could stop him? But just like that, they didn't run out, my brothers didn't even have horses, you say, isn't that a death, when the time comes, even such a few people will not be able to protect Shengjing, you should understand my hard work. ”
Speaking of words, Kong Youde is also full of emotion, but this is not bad, Kong Youde has been displaced all his life, first followed Mao Wenlong, and later after Mao Wenlong was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, he was struggling in Phi Island, and then he went to Shandong, followed Sun Yuanhua, the great benefactor, and then sold this Sun Yuanhua and set off a big mess in the Dengzhou Rebellion.
It can be said that after a lifetime of hard work, Kong Youde only has a daughter who is just nine years old, and he really loves him very much, and besides, the only sustenance in life is here, and he really dare not lose it.
