From the age of twelve, Duoduo followed Huang Taiji to the Mongolian Dorot Division, and now it has been seventeen years, and he has spent half of his life on horseback, and he has a lot of battlefield experience.

In November of last year, Duoduo set out from Beijing with 30,000 banners, and was expected to take Nanjing by May this year, so that he could retreat to the north before the rainy season in the south. The Eight Banners of Manchuria were all born in the bitter cold of Liaodong, and they were not adapted to the warm and humid climate of the south at all, so a quick victory was the key to this southern expedition.

In order to make full preparations for this southern expedition to Duoduo, the most elite two white flags took 8,000 people, you must know that the entire two white flags were only 24,000 soldiers, except for the 4,000 people taken by Azig, only half of them remained with Dolgon, 12,000 people.

Now that the court was unstable, Dolgon used the prestige of the Battle of the Pass to establish his personal authority in the court and was made regent, but Dordor knew that this authority was based on Dorgon's successive victories. As long as Dodor and Azig can win consistently, then Dorgon will not be in any danger. However, the war was slightly unfavorable, and the opposition led by Daishan and Hauge in Korea and China was bound to make a comeback, posing a great threat to the power of the Dorgon brothers.

You must know that the two red flags of Daishan and the two yellow flags of Hauge are much stronger than the two white flags, but the two factions are also fighting fiercely, which makes Dolgon cheap. But if this southern expedition fails, the two factions will definitely join forces against Dorgon.

Duoduo had a headache when he thought of the bad things in the court, he looked at the generals in the tent, and then said: "You have nothing to do, retreat, this king needs to rest!" ”

Duoduo's health was not very good, coupled with the influence of the climate in Jiangnan, so his body was very uncomfortable, and Bolo and the others also knew what Duoduo's health was, and they bowed down and retired when they heard Duoduo say this.

Dodor pressed his temple lightly with his hand, so that his headache could be relieved a little, and after a long time Dodor said to Goshiha beside him, "Go out and call a pen post!" ”

The pen post style is the transliteration of the Manchu text, the Manchurians are not reading at this time, but there must be a correspondence document, so in the army and the yamen of each ministry have a document specially responsible for copywriting, the Manchu text is called the pen post black, and it becomes the pen post type when called around.

Duoduo's military pen post style is a Han talent, a person with a yellow flag in the Han army, and he is a close confidant of Duoduo. After entering the big tent, he knelt down and asked, "Master, is there anything wrong with calling the slaves?" ”

Unlike his elder brother Azig, Duoduo was very good to the Han people, and came in with a pen post and said, "Mr. Zhang, please get up, let you come because this king wants to write a letter to the regent!" ”

Write? Mr. Zhang asked, "But is it an official document?" ”

Duoduo shook his head and said, "No, it's just an ordinary greeting letter!" ”

The pen surnamed Zhang nodded, took out the pen and paper, and waited for Dodor to dictate.

Duoduo downplayed the war for more than half a year, and focused the main space on the siege of Nanjing. Duoduo said that he thought that the battle of Nanjing would end soon, but he did not expect that there were so many red-coated cannons in Nanjing, and the Han army flag artillery team brought by himself was caught off guard, and was completely wiped out by the Ming army, and the heavy artillery brought by him was also destroyed in the war, so Duoduo estimated that the offensive and defensive battle of Nanjing would be a protracted war.

After reporting the battle, Duoduo said that in order to ensure the smooth progress of the battle in Nanjing, he wanted to ask his brother Dolgon to transfer Azige from Jiujiang to Nanjing and attack the city with Duoduo.

The letter was short, and it said nothing but the war. But Dodor knew that his brother Dorgon would be able to see what he was asking for to hold Azig hostage.

Azig is the eldest of the three brothers, but at the same time the least scheming. Although Azig fought well, he did not have any political acumen, and his title also rose and fell, from the beginning of Baylor was promoted to the king of the county, and later was demoted to Baylor, and now because of the entry into the customs and fought a few victories, so Dolgon promoted this brave and resourceless brother to prince.

In the past, because Dolgon's subordinates were unavailable, he sent his brother out, and according to Dolgon's arrangement last year, as long as Azig eliminated Li Zicheng, he would immediately transfer this troublemaker back to Beijing. But he didn't expect the situation to get out of control, Li Zicheng was a hundred-legged insect that died but did not stiffen, and after escaping from Shaanxi, he went to Huguang, so there was no way for Dolgon to send Azig to chase Li Zicheng south.

This is exactly the case with the development of history, after Azig eliminated the Zuo Liangyu group entrenched in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, Dolgon immediately transferred this brother back to Beijing, and no matter how unfavorable the war was, he did not use this brother to go out in the future.

But now it is different, Nanjing has become a protracted war here, although Duoduo has an army of 240,000 on the surface, but the only one who can be trusted is the 50,000 banners he brought from Shaanxi. There were quite a lot of new annexes, but who knew who they were aiming for when they really fought, so for the sake of safety, Duoduo was ready to transfer Azige to besiege Nanjing together.

Azig has no wisdom, if Dolgon has no will, Azig will definitely not listen to Dordor's orders when he comes to Nanjing, so Dordor has to write a letter to Dorgon, hoping that Dolgon will give such an order and let Azig obey him. Electronic Chinese Network

Duoduo wrote as he said the pen and the letter, and soon a Manchurian letter was written. Duoduo was illiterate, and after listening to the retelling of the pen, he picked up the pen and drew a charge, and then sent someone to send it to Beijing in an expedited manner of 800 li.

The letter arrived in Beijing seven days later, and soon appeared in Dolgon's hands, who frowned at the letter from his brother.

The change in Dolgon's demeanor made Zuo Maodi in the house find out, Zuo Maodi surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty a month ago through the matter of his daughter, Dolgon was very happy to get the news, and immediately sealed Zuo Mao's official position as the first ceremonial attendant.

The Zuo family was a prominent family in Shandong, and Zuo Maodi's defection made the Manchu Qing Dynasty less resistant in Shandong, and recovered most of Shandong within a month. Today, Dolgon came to Zuo Maodi and was preparing to commend him, and he knew that such a letter had been sent from the Jiangnan front.

Zuo Maodi saw the change in Dorgon's demeanor, bowed down and asked, "Regent, but what has changed in the war in Jiangnan?" ”

Dolgon's brows tightened when he heard Zuo Maodi say this, and asked, "Mr. Zuo is very well-informed, and it seems that he cares a lot about the war!" ”

After more than a month of getting along, Zuo Maodi found that this Dolgon was very shrewd, and now he must be suspicious of himself when he says this, but Zuo Maodi has been mixed with officialdom for half his life, and this ability to adapt to changes is still there.

Zuo Maodi smiled: "Hehe, now the general trend of the world is very favorable to our dynasty, Shaanxi has been pacified, except for the Jiang Yang attitude of Datong in the northern provinces, Shandong, Henan, and Jiangbei have been pocketed by the regent, and the only thing that can make the regent worry is the war in Yingtian, right?" ”

Dolgon sighed when he heard Zuo Maodi say this, and said: "Mr. Zuo is really talented, it is Ying Tian who has a problem, Mr. Zuo take a look!" After Dorgon finished speaking, he handed Dodor's letter to Zuo Maodi, but Dolgon forgot that Zuo Maodi did not recognize Manchu.

Zuo Maodi glanced at the letters that were all tadpoles, and said with a wry smile: "Regent, the minister doesn't recognize Manchu!" ”

Only then did Dorgon say, "Yes, I forgot that Mr. Manchu doesn't recognize Manchu!" Dorgon took back the letter, and explained the meaning of it in Chinese, even about Dordor's concern about Azig's unruliness.

Hearing that Dorgon was so honest, and did not shy away from the matter between their brothers, Zuo Maodi was very moved. While listening to Dolgon's retelling, Zuo Maodi thought to himself that this captive chief was really eloquent, and his personal charm was dozens of streets stronger than that Zhu Yousong.

At this time, Dolgon repeated the contents of the letter, and then asked: "Lord Zuo, you have been an official in the south all the year round, what do you say you should do?" ”

Zuo Maodi had heard of Azig and Duoduo for a long time, but he had never seen it, and now that he heard Dolgon say this, Zuo Maodi thought for a while and said: "Regent, the minister thinks that he should agree to Prince Yu and transfer Prince Ying back to the Northern Capital at the same time!" ”

Dorgon also agreed with Dord, but he didn't want Azig to be transferred back, after all, Azig was a tiger general, and keeping him in Jiangnan would also help Dord.

"Why did Mr. Zuo transfer back to Azig? Although my starling doesn't have many brains, he is very good at fighting, and staying in the army of Duoduo will definitely help! ”

Zuo Maodi received Ma Cheng's order to separate the three brothers, and now that he has this opportunity, where can he let it go?

"Regent, the minister heard that Prince Ying had many complaints in Jiujiang, called Banzai his son, and called himself uncle many times. Prince Ying led the army outside, and many ministers in the court and China paid attention, if this remark reached Prince Li and Prince Su, it would be very detrimental to the regent! The minister knows that the regent loves Prince Ying very much, so he should transfer Prince Ying back, so as to prevent Prince Ying from talking nonsense and being used by people with intentions! ”

Although Zuo Maodi is an upright person, after all, he has been trained in the big dye vat of officialdom for more than ten years, although he is not black-hearted and rotten, but he still holds a handle to play language games and frame one or two princes.

Azig originally had no brains, and he began to get carried away after some military exploits in Huguang, and talked nonsense in the army many times, what Zuo Maodi said had saved face for Dolgon, in fact, Azig said that he should be the emperor after the death of Huang Taiji, because his own merits and abilities are greater than Dolgon, why is it that now his younger brother has become the regent, and his brother is an ordinary prince?

Of course, Azig's words reached Dorgon's ears, and now that Zuo Maodi mentioned this, Dolgon immediately remembered who his brother was. Now the DPRK and China have a strong opposition to themselves, and if this Azig breaks into some kind of basket for himself outside, it will delay his own major affairs.

Dolgon thought for a while and said, "What Mr. Zuo said is very true, this king will issue a holy decree to let Azig return to Beijing on the same day!" ”
