Chapter 193: Three Brothers
In September, Hong Chengchou detected that the Qing army had increased its troops in Yizhou, so he immediately made arrangements and transferred Wu Sangui and Zu Dale to set off from Ningyuan and immediately rushed to the aid of Songshan. After that, he sent Liu Zhaoji to rush over and join Wu Sangui and others to guard Songshan together. Then he sent Zhang Tianlu, the deputy general who was responsible for transporting grain from Tashan, to help Xingshan and join forces with Zuo Guangxian.
Almost at the same time, Zilharang came to Yizhou with the army of the Eight Banners from Liaoyang to replace Dolgon. The Qing court had already realized that the capture of Jinzhou was a long-term process and could not be achieved overnight, so they set a three-month rotation strategy, so that the soldiers of the Eight Banners could have time to rest and recuperate, and would not be exhausted after a long battle.
Uiju City.
The Qing soldiers went to hand over their own flags, and what took place in the city was the direct handover between Dolgon and Zilharang. The two handed over once in June, so the handover was completed quickly. After eating the reception banquet, all the steps have been completed.
At night, in Azig's room, the three brothers, Dolgon, Azig, and Dordor, had a secret meeting together. In fact, it was Dolgon who asked Azig to call Dordor, otherwise, he would not have called his own brother at all.
As soon as Duoduo entered the study, he saw Dolgon who was already waiting, so he smiled and said, "Dorgon, are you there too?" ”
The corners of Dolgon's mouth twitched, and he said, "Yes, our brothers will get together too." ”
Azig frowned and said to Duoduo, "Okay, it's all my own brothers, sit down and talk well." ”
"Okay, then let's get together." The Dordor sat down with a smile and said, "You don't have much time left anyway. If you go back this time, even if you don't die, you will be locked up for a while. ”
There was no smile on Dorgon's face now, and he looked at Dorgon with a dark face.
"Don't worry," Azig said comfortingly, after all, "Although the emperor is angry, at most he will cut his title and fine some silver taels." No matter more, it is a fine of a few cows. If he really dares to kill you, our two white flags are not paper paste. ”
Although he and Dorgon's younger brother are not inclose, they can't let the three brothers be like enemies, isn't that a joke for others to see?
Dodor gloated, "Well, yes. Last time, you fined me fifteen cows, and they all cheapened you. Now it's just right to return my cow record. ”
Dolgon stood up and said with some excitement, "You're so happy?!" What if the Niu Lu of this penalty is no longer given to us to turn between the two white flags?! The two white flags that Amma left us are about to decline! ”
"Cut!" Duoduo said disdainfully: "Amma left two yellow flags!" The flag has been snatched away by your shameless emperor brother! ”
"You!" Pointing at Dodor, he scolded, "You're a fool! Amma spoiled you back then, and now that Azig is protecting you, you think you can do anything?! If it weren't for me, I would have followed the emperor's service before and after the saddle, do you really think that the fifteen Niu Lu who punished you last time would still be in circles in the hands of our brothers?! He had already dismantled our two white flags! ”
"You're a dog!" Duoduo shouted: "Mrs. Hong gave you a little bone, and you followed him, completely forgetting the great enmity of Eniang!" ”
Azig persuaded: "Be quiet, let outsiders hear, and we will all be punished." ”
"I'm not afraid of him!" Duoduo said stubbornly: "Amma is watching from the spirit of heaven, if he dares to touch me, will he be able to sleep at night?!" Although he was still swearing, his voice was much quieter. Don't look at him acting recklessly, always contradicting Huang Taiji, but every time he just adds some bets to Huang Taiji in small things, which makes Huang Taiji angry, but he can't be charged with much crime.
"Can you sleep?" Dolgon sneered, "Mang Gurtai, how did the Derg class die? Amin is still in prison. And Dai Shan, how much reprimands have you received in the past few years, you think it's just fun?! Even if Dai Shan is a big Baylor, he is now a big disappointment! If he is as fragile as you say, can he still be this emperor?! This is what the Han people call the 'imperial mind', do you understand?! ”
"The Han people don't have a good thing." Duoduo darkened his face and whispered.
Azig asked, "What do you want us to do?" ”
Dolgon said, "Give me a hand, and launch an attack on the Ming army before I leave." It doesn't take much to get results, as long as the emperor can know that I am not completely passive and avoid war, and I will not be condemned too much. And you, too, can have some military exploits, so that the title of prince can be restored as soon as possible. ”
"Why?" Duoduo asked nonchalantly, "The two of us carry a sedan chair for you?" But what did you do when the two of us were demoted? ”
"Do I have the power to help you when you make mistakes? I only have fifteen cows, not even the flag master. You've been presumptuous all day long, and you've never taken my words seriously. If even I are disgusted by the emperor, then our two white flags will really disperse! At that time, not only will you not have a good life, but you won't even be able to keep the property left by Amma, and E-Niang will cry in the sky! Dorgon said excitedly.
Duoduo stood up and roared angrily: "You are not qualified to raise your mother!" Then he left in a rage.
Neither Azig nor Dorgon pursued him, and the youngest of them, Amma and E-Niang, was the youngest Dordor who loved him the most. When Huang Taiji forced their mother to commit suicide and be buried, Duoduo was still a fourteen-year-old boy. That incident hit Duoduo too hard, so he developed his current perverse character.
Azig said: "We can help you, but you have to remember what you said today, we brothers will keep the two white flags together." ”
"As long as I have the ability, I will definitely not let the two white flags change hands." Dorgon assured.
The next day, the 8th day of the ninth month, Azig suggested to Zilharang that an attack be launched against the Ming army. Due to Dolgon's summer policy and retreat to recuperate, the generals of the original Eight Banners all remember Dolgon well. And they are all the same as Dorgon, afraid of being condemned when they go back, and they all want to take advantage of the fact that they haven't gone back yet, and have a victory, which will be less culpable.
So on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, Dolgon took his soldiers of the Eight Banners and rushed straight to Songshan. Wu Sangui and others went out of Songshan and Xingshan respectively to meet the enemy. The two sides faced each other in the five realms. However, both sides came prepared, and both were more cautious, and neither had any major results.
And Duoduo led a cavalry to attack the West Sanggar Fortress in Jinzhou at night. and attacked the grain transport team of the Ming army, taking away more than 130 cattle and donkeys, which was the only big victory in this battle.
After this large-scale raid, Dolgon returned to Liaoyang with his troops in a state of anxiety, waiting for Huang Taiji's verdict on him.
