While Zilharang was at a loss in the hall and sighed for a long time, the defective army led by Zu Dashou had crossed the Hunhe River, traveled all the way west, crossed the Dasheng Fort, and was almost at the border with the Mongolian Karaqin Band.

The wind howled, the heavens and the earth were dark, and everywhere in the vast wilderness, as far as the eye could see, was a withered yellow, and endless gloom and slaughter filled the entire heaven and earth.

In this vast wilderness, a force of nearly 5,000 people, flags flying, swords and guns are flashing with cold light, and the soldiers of the whole army are marching westward against the cold wind.

At first glance, it looks like a long black snake winding westward. At this time, Zu Dashou, dressed in armor, personally led the team at the forefront of the team under the protection of a guard.

At this time, he was unprecedentedly energetic. With a smile on his face, his face was wrinkled like a knife, blooming like a blooming chrysanthemum in the cold wind.

"Master Hong, after crossing the boundary river, it is Karaqin Mongolia, you say, will the Qing Dynasty send people to chase us?" Zu Dashou stroked his beard dancing in the wind, and asked softly to Hong Chengchou, who was wearing a thick fur coat and wrapped tightly around his body. Hong Chengchou wiped a handful of dust and sand on his face that was swept up by the wind, and his face was also full of joy and relief, he let out a long breath, and said to Zu Dashou: "General Soldier Zu, in Hong's opinion, the Qing court will not send any more chasing soldiers." First, now that we are almost at the border of the Karaqin Mongols, it is too late for the Qing court to send another pursuer. Second, the Qing court is now busy with infighting, and all the soldiers and horses in the country are busy standing in line to deal with this large-scale civil war next, how can they have spare time to chase after a Han army like ours that fled westward. After our army crossed the boundary river, we had to go all the way west. Hong Chengchou paused and replied: "As long as we restrain military discipline along the way, speed up the march, and do not have a head-on conflict with the Mongolian tribes along the way, such as Karaqin, Naiman, and Dongtumut, then they will definitely embarrass us." In my estimation, in more than half a month at most, our army will be able to arrive at Jintangcheng on Xuanfu North Road, and at that time, we will be able to smoothly surrender to the Dingbei Camp of the Tang Army. Zu Dashou nodded, and said happily: "Okay, this time, we are like a fish in the abyss, a bird in the forest, and the Qing court wants to find us again, but it is impossible." I hope we can get to Xuanfu North Road all the way smoothly and safely.

He stopped, and sighed: "I really didn't expect that my ancestor Dashou was a person who thought highly of himself, but I didn't expect that one day, he would go to his former subordinates to serve and drive, this creation is bizarre, how can it be said!" After Zu Dashou sighed, he took the lead in raising the whip on the horse, and towards the boundary river that was covered with thick ice and had become a crystal jade belt, the horse whipped away, and the smoke and dust rolled.

And behind him, all the sons and nephews were all working hard, and they followed the whole army quickly. As far as the eye can see, the iron flow is rolling, all the way to the west.

After another two days, when Zu Dashou and others, leading the defected army, had just crossed the Liaohe Hetao and were marching rapidly towards the Karaqin Mongol Department and the Naiman Mongol Department, Haoge, who had broken away from the army that day and rushed to Shengjing first, finally took the lead with more than 2,000 cavalry from the headquarters and rushed to the outside of Shengjing City on this cold and windy morning.

Looking at the capital of the Qing Dynasty in front of him, Shengjing City, which was painstakingly operated by his grandfather and slave and his father Huang Taiji for many years, and was known as the first fortified city of the Qing Dynasty, finally appeared in front of him.

Thinking of the beginning, the 100,000 army, personally led by Khan Ama Huang Taiji, from Shengjing to swear to march, how prosperous the situation at that time, how magnificent the army looks, all the soldiers, it is estimated that everyone thinks in their hearts that this expedition should be won without surprise, and this battle will be a one-sided, almost crushing victory.

However, the final outcome of this battle was not expected by anyone. Those Tang troops who were defending with a castle that had not yet been built were so strong and good at fighting that they resisted wave after wave of powerful offences of the Qing army, and finally after nearly a month of hard fighting, they waited for reinforcements to defend the Vladivostok Fort, which was almost completely swallowed by the Qing army.

The Qing army, which had an absolute advantage, paid the price of more than 30,000 deaths, but failed to capture this small Vladivostok Fort, which was really the biggest defeat of the Qing Empire in recent years.

In this defeat, the biggest loss of the Qing Empire was that in addition to the loss of troops, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty was seriously injured and demented, which was simply a disastrous result.

There is a saying that blessings are incomparable, but disasters are not one-way, and the defeat of this Eastern Crusade eliminated the supreme ruler of the Qing Empire in an unexpected way, so that the clan magnates who were already fighting for power and profit suddenly lost the restraint and norms of the supreme power, and began to tear their faces in order to seize the supreme power of the Qing Empire, and began to quickly and almost fiercely and brutally fight.

And Dolgon and Hauge, who were the most powerful and powerful of the entire Aisin Jueluo clan, naturally quickly changed from allies to mortal enemies at the end of this war.

Subsequently, like a duck forcibly driven onto the shelves, Haoge took the lead in leaving with his troops and horses under the strong encouragement of his important ministers such as Sonny and Aobai, and quickly rushed back to seize the first major city of the Qing Dynasty, the capital Shengjing.

Thinking of this, Hauge's heart suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness. If it weren't for Khan Amma's sudden dementia, how could he have such a mind to take advantage of the chaos, how is it a normal situation, he just needs to wait for Huang Taiji to hang up naturally, and follow the edict to take over.

The chaotic situation like the present one has never encountered before the simple-minded and short-sighted Hauge, who was simply in a state of understanding, and was forcibly pushed by his ministers onto this road of no return for the supreme power of the Qing Dynasty.

Is everything now fate...... However, Hauge quickly recovered from his sentimental thoughts, and there was an inexplicable relief in his heart.

That is, the thief captures the king first, and the country must seize the capital, seeing Shengjing, the first city of the Qing Dynasty, finally fell into his own hands first, Haoge felt that he could follow the advice of his subordinates in time, and he was the first to rush back to Shengjing from the headquarters, and he still felt very happy.

He knew that if Dolgon was allowed to take the lead and occupy the Shengjing City, then Dolgon, who was dominating the two capitals, would completely gain the upper hand, and it would be basically impossible for him to take advantage of the chaos to seize the throne.

And when Dolgon successfully and completely grasps the supreme power of the Qing Dynasty and controls the entire situation, then what awaits him next will be a bloody ghost knife that cuts off his neck.

Haug took a deep breath and immediately began to give orders as quickly as he had agreed on the road.

"Obey the order!

“

"The minions are here!"

"This king wants you to quickly lead troops into the city, take over the city defense in an all-round way, and then occupy the arsenals, official offices, granaries and other important places in the city, so as to ensure that after the king's soldiers and horses enter the city, everything will be safe and sound. Remember, take the city as soon as possible, in case anything happens, and if you disobey, you will be killed!

“

"Order!

“

"He Luohui and Yang Shan listen to orders!

“

"The minions are here!

“

"After the king entered the city with the two of you, he quickly took over the garrison barracks in the city, and took the lead in controlling the yellow flag, the yellow flag, and the blue flag loyal to the king.

“

"Order!

“

"Sonny listens!"

"The minions are here!

“

"You brought the king's own letter into the city, and took the lead in meeting with the important ministers of the Qing Dynasty such as Dai Shan and Ji'er Harang, so as to stabilize the clan in the city, and at the same time issue an edict to the people in the city, so that they do not need to panic and ensure that the order in the city remains as it is.

“

"Slaves obey orders!" Sonny was about to move forward when Hauge stopped him again. Sonny turned around a little confused, only to see Hauge's face full of sadness and hesitation.

"Prince Su......" Haoge sighed lightly and replied: "Sony, you listen well, you can only say good words to the princes and important ministers of the clans of Daishan and Jierharang, and it is impossible to be rude at will. In addition, you only need to inform them, and when the city is settled, the king will visit them in person when he enters the city. Seeing Hauge looking like this, he wanted to do something big, but hesitated repeatedly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he still responded urgently, and led a group of guards into the city together.

Shengjing City, which was originally peaceful, was quickly enveloped by the sudden atmosphere of slaughter. Ao Bai with a thousand cavalry, the first to break through directly from the east gate of the city, the general who defended the city, is the Yellow Banner general, seeing that it is Ao Bai murderous with soldiers in, although the heart is confused, but do not dare to stop at all, immediately let Ao Bai lead the troops into the city.

Ao Baiyi took control of the east gate of Shengjing, and immediately divided his troops into three routes, and went to the other three gates of Shenyang to take over the defense of the city.

Seeing this group of Qing troops with a dignified and murderous spirit entering the city, they immediately galloped across the city, as if entering a no-man's land, the people in the city were horrified, everyone cried and shouted for their mothers to flee in all directions, and the order in the whole city was suddenly chaotic.

Among the other three city defense offices, the west gate, which was garrisoned by the soldiers and horses of the blue flag, and the south gate, which was garrisoned by the soldiers and horses of the yellow flag, were all smoothly handed over to the city defense, and only the north gate, which was garrisoned by the soldiers and horses of the white flag, encountered contradictions and obstacles.

There are more than 100 soldiers and horses inlaid with white flags here, led by a Niu Lu Ezhen Shaer Huda, and at this time, seeing the sudden chaos in the city, Shar Huda is shocked.

Soon, there were soldiers under his command to report, saying that it was the general of the Yellow Banner Aobai, with a large number of soldiers and horses into the city, and was picking up the city guards everywhere, hearing the news, Sha Erhuda was even more shocked in his heart, but then, he began to regret it quickly.

It turned out that on the same day, Shaerhuda heard the news that the emperor was seriously injured and could not serve during the eastward expedition to Vladivostok Fort, and he also thought that maybe there would be a bloody civil war for power and profit in the Qing Dynasty that would begin.

These days, in Shengjing City, except for the soldiers and horses with the Yellow Flag, the Yellow Flag, and the Blue Flag, all of which continue to be near Shengjing, the rest of the Manchurian soldiers and horses of the Five Banners, including most of the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Army and the Eight Banners of the Han Army, have quietly gone to Liaoyang to seek refuge in Dolgon's eldest brother Azig.

And the reason why Sha Erhuda did not sneak away from Shengjing and go to Liaoyang, Tokyo like the two white flag soldiers and horses, was because he couldn't bear it in his heart and refused to abandon it, so he stayed all the time.

It turned out that this Shaerhuda, the old surname Guerjia, its ancestor was the Haixi Jurchen Su Wanbu, living in the Huerha area, in the era of the old slave, his father Gui Lehe took the whole tribe to vote, and was awarded the position of Niu Lu Ezhen by the old slave.

In the Huang Taiji era, his father died in battle, and the young Sha Erhuda began to join the army, and the first battle was from the Varkha Department, and he made meritorious contributions and was awarded the title of Prepare for the Emperor.

In the summer of this year, Sha'er Huda and another general, Balanqi, marched against the Jurchen tribe in the north, capturing a lot of people and animals, so they were added to half of the future, and Huang Taiji in order to show his favor, specially ordered him to take his father's position Niu Lu Ezhen, and temporarily served as the city defense at the north gate, and also told him that after the return of this crusade, he would be appointed again.

Therefore, Sha Erhuda was very grateful to Huang Taiji, and he was full of wonderful fantasies about his future, but he didn't expect that he was infatuated, and in the end he only waited for the news that the emperor was seriously injured and could not be a director.

When he heard the news, Sha Erhuda suddenly looked like a deflated ball. He lamented in his heart, how could he be so unlucky, and hang up before the emperor made the next step for himself, and then made the next step of promotion, which was too unlucky.

However, Sha Erhuda did not give up, because, up to now, the news he had heard was only rumors, and there was no real news about the fate of the emperor.

Therefore, Sha Erhuda thinks that if he quietly retreats to Liaoyang like the other two white flag soldiers and horses, in case the emperor really returns, it is estimated that his future will be completely ruined.

So, under this subtle and bizarre psychological effect, Sha Erhuda has been delayed until now, and has not made a final decision, and even delayed the order of his superior Gushan Ezhen Ba Lata urging him to withdraw his troops to Liaoyang as soon as possible, but he did not expect that in the end, he did not wait for the emperor to return, but only waited for the fierce and brutal Ao Bai and the two yellow flag soldiers and horses under his command.

In Sha'er Huda's heart, how can he say how much regret he regrets. He sighed secretly, he knew that this was the end, and it was really stupid not to retreat to Liaoyang with the other two white flag soldiers and horses.

It's just that until now, Shaerhuda still wants to gamble. He wanted to rely on his neutral attitude to get a good chance for himself to escape.

Soon, a general with a yellow flag came over and ordered him to hand over the city defenses, and all the troops with white flags defending the city should also accept Hauge's adaptation.

"I am ordered by the emperor to defend the city here, and what a heavy responsibility. If you want me to hand over the city defense and reorganize the troops, I can only be ordered by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty or the soldiers and horses of the five cities. Shar Huda replied calmly and clearly.
