Chapter 446 Asking the World, What Is Love?
Qianqing Palace.
Dorgon was still drinking tea.
Not only did they drink tea, but they even put fruits and snacks in front of them, but the wine and food were gone, the chefs in the imperial dining room were all gone, and even the palace maids and eunuchs were left......
It would be a fool not to run at this time.
It is said that the palace maids and eunuchs in this palace have been tested for a long time, and the palace has changed its owner for the third time, so they have a lot of experience in dealing with it, which is no different from Chongzhen back then, in this case, it is natural to run away quickly. In fact, there are not many palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and some of them followed Chongzhen to the south, and there are many who took advantage of the chaos to escape, especially those palace maids were divided a lot by the old bandits, and then Li Zicheng took Zhu Cihong south and took some of them away, and Dolgon did not add anything after he became the master......
He's not good at it!
(I, Tamar, must have that power, too!) The regent roared angrily. )
In short, there are currently at most two or three thousand palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and the original Chongzhen time actually added up to only 10,000 people.
What Ming 100,000 eunuchs?
The congestion of this palace is comparable to that of the West Railway Station during the Spring Festival.
In short, in the empty Qianqing Palace, the regent of the Qing Dynasty sat on the throne where he could watch the stars, drinking tea calmly, and occasionally took an osmanthus cake to taste. The two of them looked at the eunuchs or palace maids who ran in front of the door from time to time, listening to the explosions outside, the sound of gunfire, and of course, the shouts of killing that were getting closer and closer......
They could also see the fire at Chengtianmen.
In fact, the fire was not just burning at the Chengtian Gate.
The night sky of the entire northern capital is fiery red.
Just as Gao Yigong feared, the large-scale use of flowering bombs has ignited many buildings in the palace, and the raging flames are expanding the scope of destruction. Originally, when Li Zicheng was evacuating from Beijing, he set a fire in the palace, and when Dolgon entered the palace, like Hongguang, he had to meet the minister in the Wuying Palace, which belonged to the side hall.
It's just that Hongguang is in disrepair.
And he burned down the palace because of Li Zicheng.
And this time, Li Zicheng has finally completed his historical mission.
Moreover, the explosion in Xishiku also caused a fire, which was constantly approaching the three seas under the impetus of the northwest wind, because they were all easy to burn in themselves. The vast majority of the banner people who fled into the imperial city were concentrated in the area of Xi'an Gate, and the fire turned countless people into charcoal, and the living were desperately scattering and fleeing. Although the fire also temporarily blocked the Shun army attacking from Xi'an Gate, the Shun army attacking from Chengtianmen was not affected, and their route was the empty square around the three major halls, and the Shun army that broke through Chengtianmen was moving forward along the straight line of Duanmen and Wumen.
The organized resistance of the Qing army in this direction was de facto over.
There were only 2,000 Ba Ya Lama soldiers in total.
And the circumference of the imperial city is more than 20 miles, even if there are thousands of cannon fodder-style bannermen, it is meaningless to put them on such a circle of city walls.
And what about their enemies?
There are so many!
The standing army of the Guangshun Army and the elites of those Jiedu envoys add up to more than 70,000, not to mention the volunteers who almost flooded the entire city, who doesn't know that the palace has the most oil and water? Those righteous and brave desire to enter the palace are no worse than Li Zicheng! At this time, on the city walls around the imperial city, ladders were lined up extremely spectacularly, and countless excited volunteers were rushing over the city walls to rush into the imperial city, looting those banner people who fled in.
Li Zicheng's generals also bought.
These fellows have long been familiar with this kind of business, and more than half of the slaves and maids in the south are sold from them.
"Do you regret it?"
Dorgon said to me suddenly.
"Regent, the slave has never regretted it, he just didn't go south at the beginning, without the grain of the Jin merchants, without the harvest of entering the customs and looting, we may not be able to survive today!"
Ning Wan said.
This is true.
They went south because of the military adventure in the north that was on the verge of despair, but they didn't expect it to be so easy, but if there was no original military adventure, under the double blockade of Li Zicheng and Yang Qing, they would have been trapped and killed in Liaodong. The harvest of Korea could not feed them, and the Ming army had already entered Korea at that time, if they had not entered the pass and transferred the battlefield to the pass, the Ming army would definitely have to continue to attack north from Korea. With the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, without the original military adventure, perhaps the Ming army would have come to Shenyang a long time ago, and it was because of the threat to the Yellow River line that it was tied up with the northern gentry that won the Qing Dynasty for these seven years.
"I'm not talking about this, I'm saying that you voted for us, do you regret it?"
Dorgon said.
"Minions don't regret it!"
Ning Wan said with great righteousness: "The slave is just a grass man in Liaoyang, if it is not for the appreciation of the regent of Taizu Taizong in my Great Qing Dynasty, how can he be a great minister?" ”
"To be honest, what are you afraid of at this time?"
Dorgon said angrily.
"Regent, what is the use of a minion even if he regrets it? Could it be that Li Zicheng didn't cut off the heads of his minions? Besides, if you don't vote for the Qing Dynasty, the minions are afraid that they will have already become dry bones, and when our Qing Dynasty swept Liaodong, weren't the results of those who didn't vote for the Qing Dynasty become dry bones on the banks of the Liao River? The minions surrendered to the Qing Dynasty to live to this day, and if they don't surrender, they died early in the morning, so why regret it? ”
Ning Wan said with a wry smile.
"Haha, you're finally telling the truth!"
Dorgon said with a happy smile.
"Why can these people fight to the death?"
He asked suddenly.
"He is an official of the imperial court, he eats the king's fortune, is loyal to the king, and it is his duty to guard the land!"
Ning Wan said with some embarrassment.
"But you are also a student, and you also have 80 acres of tax-free land, and you are also exempt from servitude, so you can count it as a food king, right?"
Dorgon said.
"Huh?!"
I'm speechless.
"Actually, you're just soft-boned!"
Dorgon said with a smile.
"You are all soft-boned, but if it weren't for your soft bones, I wouldn't have been able to get out of the deep mountains and old forests in the Qing Dynasty, nor would I have swept through Liaodong, let alone breaking through the Great Wall and entering the customs to occupy the palace, you are the heroes who have achieved my Qing Dynasty, and I respect my heroes of the Qing Dynasty."
He then said, picking up his teacup.
I didn't care much about Ning Wan, he didn't need to be afraid of Dolgon at this time, anyway, it wouldn't be long before we went to Huangquan, and he looked through the big hole in the roof with a touch of sadness at the night sky outside that was red by firelight.
I guess I'm reminiscing about the past!
But then there was a chaotic burst of gunfire outside, and then Azig's son Fu Lehe ran in with a dozen guards from the Qianqing gate outside, and the next few hurriedly closed the two heavy doors. Then they ran towards this side together, but before they could run into the main hall, the fire at the gate of the palace flickered, and with the sound of explosions, it was reduced to pieces, and a reflection of steel appeared in the smoke......
"What's the panic?"
Dorgon shouted as he looked at Flech.
The latter looked at him bewilderedly, and it was clear that the Regent's style of painting was very strange.
"Regent, the thieves have come in!"
Fu Lehe said in confusion.
"I'm not blind yet, of course I saw them coming in, and it's all at this point, do you still think you can escape? How can my Eight Banners athletes be so greedy for life and afraid of death, your father died on the battlefield back then, then don't embarrass him! ”
Dorgon said angrily.
Fu Lehe turned his head to look at the surging Shun heavy infantry, looked at each other with the guards, and finally gritted his teeth and roared, and rushed out of the main hall with his sword. Behind him, Dolgon drank all the tea in the cup, then pulled out his knife, took out an embroidered handkerchief and wiped it slowly, and couldn't help but see the figure of Da Yu'er in front of him again. It's been seven years, they've been separated for seven years, and I don't know how the two of them are, I'm afraid it won't be long before the Ming army will come to Shenyang, maybe soon they can reunite underground......
"What is love in the world? Straight religion promises life and death. The south and the north are double flying swallows, and the old wings are cold and hot several times. Joy and fun, parting bitter ......"
The Lord Regent sang softly.
Outside, Fu Lehe had already engaged Sun Shoufa, and the desperate Baya Laqi soldiers were fighting frantically to block the advance of the Shun army.
As for Ning Wan, I also began to make preparations before hanging myself, and the regent sang in a low voice while wiping his knife amid the constant screams outside. Soon, as Fu Lehe was whipped by Sun Shoufa, Dolgon's song was finished. He raised his head and looked at Sun Shoufa, who was walking into the door, and put the knife on his neck with a blank face, and at the same time as Ning finished hanging himself, his knife suddenly pulled down......
Suddenly, there was a whistling.
Immediately after that, Dorgon felt something hit his wrist, and the knife in his weak hand suddenly fell.
He was stunned for a moment.
Sun Shoufa and his subordinates rushed forward.
Without hesitation, Dorgon lowered his head and grabbed the knife with his left hand and put it back on his neck, pulling it down again, and then the whistling sound sounded again, and his left hand was also hit by something, and in his suddenly weak left hand, the knife fell again. He let out a cry of grief and raised his hands in disbelief, one scar on each wrist, his hands still numb, and he trembled and tried, and found that it was impossible for him to pick up the knife. He stood up like crazy, kicked the table and crashed into Shunjun in front of him, then lowered his head and slammed into the pillar next to him, but suddenly a leg appeared at his feet.
The Lord Regent exclaimed.
He instantly fell and fell on a.
"Dolgon, King Qin is still waiting to see you, but he has been thinking about you, and he has come all the way to find you to catch up, so why can't you think about it so much? If I can't see you, King Qin will be very sad. ”
Sun Shoufa lifted him up by the neck, tore off the sticky beard on Dolgon's mouth, and then leaned over the old face and smiled at Dolgon at close range.
