Chapter 848: Where is Duoduo?
In the seventh year of Hongxing in the Ming Dynasty, the eighth day of the first month. The good news of the eastern front has spread like snowflakes to the palace of Yunlong Mountain in Xuzhou, where the Ming Emperor Zhu Cihong is stationed, and the battle between the rivers has been completely won!
Under the unfavorable situation of being attacked by the enemy on the belly and back, the Qing army on the battlefield of Zhuangqiao Village-Guanyintang had to retreat in panic when the battle formation had already been launched and the Ming army, which was equal in number and combat power, had already begun to fight!
There is no retreat like this, and it is a nightmare for the side that needs to escape! In particular, the Ming army that pursued them was very fast, and there were more than 1,000 and hundreds of rather difficult "black spear and mule soldiers" (the musketeers belonging to the two armies of Shi Kefa and Huang Degong combined had more than 1,000 horses) that could be pursued and fought fiercely.
In order to allow more troops to withdraw to Beijing, Wu Keshan and Bai Yintu had to abandon the 2,000 Green Flag infantry troops from Tianjin at the beginning, and took away their cattle (all of which were self-provided), resulting in the 2,000 people collectively surrendering to the pursuing Ming army, and also acted as a leading party, leading a part of the pursuing troops to take a shortcut to intercept the fleeing Qing army.
These people are all natives of Hejian Province, they are very familiar with the terrain, and they have local connections, and they can find food, livestock, and people for the pursuing Ming army - now there are only three or four million people in the entire Beizhili, and the emptiness is terrifying! Therefore, the common people have too much open space to avoid military disasters, and during the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was even a figure around the battlefield and near the road. That is, the head snake of Hejian Mansion can find the people who are hiding to welcome the king.
With the support of the leading party and the people, the pursuit of the Ming army naturally became continuous and powerful. Although the Qing army had a lot of horses available, they couldn't find enough feed to feed them on the way, so these horses couldn't support them for long.
In the ice and snow, there are no horses, maybe no rations, and there are chasing soldiers behind the buttocks, and if three or four thousand of the 20,000 Qing troops can run back to Beijing, then it is really necessary to burn high incense......
When the two armies of Shi Kefa and Huang Degong were comfortably pursuing the Qing army to reap the results, Gao Jie also caught a big fish from the territory of Dong'an and Wuqing counties! The "black spear and mule soldiers" under his command intercepted several imperial guards who sent edicts to Beijing in Wuqing County, and also intercepted a copy of Feng Aixin Jueluo. Fuquan is the holy decree of Prince Yu and in charge of the two yellow flags - Fuquan is the only living son of Shunzhi, and his eldest son "Niu Niu" died after 89 days of life. And Xuan Ye, who became the Kangxi Emperor in history, is still unborn in his mother's womb.
However, even if Xuan Ye is born, it is estimated that he will not have a chance to become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, because the Qing Dynasty now has the imperial uncle Duoduo! Even if Duoduo dies in two days, and Duoduo's sister-in-law Doni can continue to be the emperor's younger brother, there will probably be no Kangxi year name......
Although it is difficult for Shunzhi to pass the throne to his son, the position of the banner master of the two yellow flags can be passed on to his son. So Emperor Shunzhi, who felt that he might be dying, issued a holy decree, made Fuquan the prince, and "handed over" the two yellow flags to him, of course, it was handed over in name, Fuquan was only a few months old, and he couldn't take care of things at all, in fact, it was Bumu Butai and Meng Guqing who were in charge.
It's a pity that this holy decree was not delivered to Beijing, and it fell into the hands of Gao Jie halfway through the road - this can confirm that Emperor Shunzhi is in Tianjin!
So what's so polite? I feel like I'm going to surround him, but I can't let him run!
Therefore, Gao Jie did not wander between Beijing and Tianjin, but the whole army marched eastward, surrounded Emperor Shunzhi firmly in Tianjin, and then sent the intercepted holy decree and Shunzhi's guards to Yunlong Mountain in Xuzhou.
"Ajig, come and see, is this your brother Fulin's handwriting?"
In the palace of Yunlong Mountain, Emperor Zhu is happily waving to Princess Jianning, this little sister is now dressed as a Han girl, with a dark green shirt embroidered with the pattern of Xiangfeng on the upper body, and a green flower yarn python skirt on the lower body. The little girl was still a little timid when she walked into Emperor Zhu's study, it is estimated that she failed the arithmetic exam yesterday, and she was afraid of the next door, right? This girl is stupid, very playful, and doesn't like to read much, and Kim Dong-joo, who is in charge of teaching her, is not a little nerve-wracking.
Hearing Emperor Zhu's words, Princess Jianning breathed a sigh of relief, and then was a little disappointed...... In the end, I had to give Zhu Cihong a salute, moved the lotus step lightly, and went to Emperor Zhu, took a scroll of holy decrees, unfolded it, there were two kinds of Manchu and Chinese characters on it, the Manchu script was written neatly, and the Chinese characters were a bit of a dog crawling, and it was the imperial pen of Emperor Shunzhi at a glance.
Princess Jianning nodded and said, "It's the emperor's brother's handwriting...... Is he going to be the prince of Lifuquan? Could it be that there was something wrong with the imperial uncle? β
"Hehe," Zhu Cihong smiled, "Duoduo is fine!" Fulin is arranging the aftermath! β
Princess Jianning was surprised: "Huh? The emperor's brother has an incurable disease? β
"No, he was besieged by Gao Jie in Tianjin!"
"What should I do then?" Princess Jianning looked a little worried.
Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "Ajige, hurry up and write a letter of persuasion to Fulin...... For your sake, I won't embarrass him. As long as he is willing to surrender, I can make him Prince Gong, and I can also give him two salaries, no, three shares, to keep him prosperous and rich for the rest of his life. β
Princess Jianning hurriedly gave Emperor Zhu another blessing gift, "The slave and maid thank the emperor for his kindness." β
"It's all a family!" Zhu Cihong smiled and waved his hand, "Write quickly, just write here...... Will it be written? Would you like to call Dongzhu to help you? β
Ajig said, "Slaves can write." β
"Okay, let's write it quickly."
Princess Jianning answered again, pulled a chair and sat down at Emperor Zhu's desk, then picked up the pen and paper that had been prepared long ago and began to write letters.
I really know how to write, the hairpin is neatly written, and the sentences are smooth and smooth, and there is not a single typo.
This Princess Jianning seems to be partial to liberal arts, but she can't do it.
"Well written!" Zhu Cihong smiled, "Ajige, you go back first...... I'm done with it, and I'll come back to you and Dongzhu. β
Of course, I came to them for academic purposes......
After putting away the handwritten letter written by Ajige, Emperor Zhu asked Li Yan and Prince Kong Dai to be invited into his study.
The two saluted, and as soon as they sat down, Zhu Cihong went straight to the point and said: "It's Fulin's handwriting...... He was in the Tianjin Acropolis and was trapped by Gao Jie! β
"Your Majesty," CondΓ© asked, "if you take this Mongol Khan, does it mean that the war has been won?" β
"No," Zhu Cihong shook his head, "There are now two power centers in the Qing Kingdom, and the power of the imperial uncle Duoduo is even greater, if the blessing falls into our hands, Duoduo will become the co-master."
Strategist, can there be news of Duoduo? β
"Not much," Li Yan shook his head, "Now that the Liaohai Sea is frozen and southern Liaoning is under martial law, it is difficult for us to get information outside the Guan...... One thing is certain, though, that Dordor had begun to gather troops a year earlier. β
"He's in the customs?" Zhu Cihong asked.
"I don't know." Li Yan still shook his head, "Our cavalry is just a little bit, and we can't dismantle it too much, so we can't search the northeast of Beizhili." In addition, all parts of Beizhili are still covered with ice and snow, the merchants are in Maodong, the villages everywhere are closed, and there are many Mongol cavalry wandering, and it is difficult for us to move. β
Duoduo was also not a fuel-efficient lamp, and after entering the Shanhai Pass, he released his cavalry to sweep around the army and cover his own movements. Moreover, he deliberately avoided the battlefield in the area of Tianjin Wei and marched along the southern foot of Yanshan, so Yunlongshan did not know that he had led the army into the customs.
Zhu Cihong thought for a while, "I still have to let Shi Kefa be careful...... Your Royal Highness, if it is convenient for you, can you go to Governor Scofa's army and serve as his advisor? β
"No problem," asked Prince CondΓ©, "Your Majesty, do you need me to take the Tianjin Wei?" β
"This ......" Zhu Cihong thought for a while, "It depends on the situation!" See if we can defeat the army of Dodor? β
