Henan, Kaifeng Province.

After Duoduo's army chased to Yuncheng, seeing that Gao Yihuan had been prepared, the army could only reluctantly return north to Zhengzhou.

Because of Gao Yihuan's strategy of clearing the wilderness, the Qing army's food was unsustainable, and it really couldn't afford to raise tens of thousands of Qing troops, so Duoduo could only leave Kong Youde to lead 7,000 Han troops to garrison Zhengzhou and other places, while the main force returned to Beizhili, preparing to raise grain and grass, and then come to the south.

After the withdrawal of Duoduo's main force, Kong Youde's troops were limited, and he was alone in the south of the Yellow River, and he was deterred by Gao Yihuan's killing of Abatai, so he was only stationed in the city and did not dare to attack south.

Li Yan and Bai Wang, who were on the Tiger Prison Pass, saw that the Qing army was retreating, and they hurriedly sent scouts out of the pass to investigate, and happened to meet Gao Yihuan who sent people to report the victory.

The two learned from the envoy that after Gao Yihuan killed the Tartar Belle Abatai, Bei Zibo and Tuo, and the Mongolian Belle Dong Daiqing, and killed more than 4,000 Tartars, they were secretly speechless, but they didn't expect Gao Yihuan to do such a big thing.

Both of them couldn't help but sigh, if Gao Yihuan didn't turn the tide, Henan would be over.

When Bai Wang heard about Gao Yihuan's results, his heart was a little sour, but he still praised Gao Yihuan's ability to fight.

In Beijing, on the fifth watch, the city was silent, and only the occasional banging sound of the street was beating.

In the past, on the fourth watch, the city of Beijing began to be lively, the Beijing officials were ready to go to court, and the shops were ready to open, but now on the fifth watch, the city is still very quiet.

In the year of Jiashen, the city of Beijing can be described as turbulent, and Wang Qi has changed greatly.

First of all, King Li Chuang entered the Beijing Division and sat as the emperor, and then Ping Xibo borrowed troops to drive away King Li Chuang, but before the people could react, Ping Xibo became the King of Qin in the Qing court, and the Jingshi Tunnel became a world full of people.

During the Ming Dynasty, there were more than 30,000 civil and military officials in Beijing, plus Xun Qi. These people, including their families and servants, as well as the merchants and people who served them, built a prosperous city of Beijing.

It's just that when Dashun came, a group of officials and gentry in the city were washed out, and after the Qing army came, another group of people went south, and the people in Beijing went to empty houses, so it was not as prosperous as in the past.

However, Dolgon believes that this situation will soon be alleviated, because Daishan has already protected Fulin, as well as Manchurian dependents, starting from Shengjing, and waiting for more than 100,000 dependents to arrive, they will be able to support the prosperity of Beijing.

At this time, the city was very quiet, the dynasty changed, and it was a foreign race entering the capital, everyone in the city was panicked, and there was no movement on the fifth watch.

At this time, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the city, and a team of white-armored cavalry each prepared two war horses galloped wildly, and arrived at the city of Guo outside Beijing in a moment, and shouted in Manchu for the leader of the Tartars: "Open the city gate, the king of Yu also has an urgent military situation, and wants to report to the regent." ”

The Tartars on the head of the city verified the identity of the white-armored soldiers, who were men and horses with white flags, and slowly opened the city gate, and the Tartar cavalry galloped towards the city, and after a while, they entered the inner city from the Zhengyang Gate.

The sound of horses' hooves, knocking on the streets, woke up the residents of the city one after another, so that many people turned on the lights, but they were soon blown out again, and after the horses' hooves, the city returned to quiet.

The Tartar cavalry rushed to the regent's palace in one breath and shouted to the guards at the door: "Urgent military situation, report to the regent immediately." ”

The Qing army entered the pass and wanted to seize the Han artifact, but the Manchus were like small snakes swallowing elephants.

At this time, the rulers of the Qing court did not have much confidence in seizing the world, and they were also covered with thin ice.

On the fifth watch, Dorgon had already gotten up and sat down in his study, taking care of all kinds of things.

Now although the Qing Dynasty has entered the customs, Li Chuang has not been destroyed, and the Southern Ming Court has set up a new emperor, so that Dolgon has to raise his spirit.

Early in the morning, he was dealing with government affairs, how to deal with the relationship between the Ming and Qing dynasties, how to deal with the Ming prince's accession to the throne in Nanjing, and how to consolidate the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, when a guard suddenly knocked on the door and whispered, "Regent, regent!" ”

Dorgon looked up and set a fold aside. It was written by a Han man named Sun Zhiqi, who proposed to implement the fold of full clothing and customs and unify the clothes and crowns of the new dynasty.

Dorgon admired this minion very much, he knew his own mind very well, but not long ago the Qing Dynasty had just issued a shaving order, but it was met with fierce opposition, but the time was not yet ripe, and it was obviously not yet time to implement it.

This order to shave hair and be easy to obey has to wait for the Qing Dynasty to determine the world, destroy the Ming Dynasty, and then implement it after the overall situation has been decided.

"What's the matter?" Dorgon folded the folds and set them aside.

"Regent, Prince Yu has a military report arriving."

I heard that it was a military report sent by Duoduo, and Dolgon was in good spirits for a while, could it be that the Southern Route Army had already taken Luoyang?

Dolgon's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked, "What about Dorgon's beating?" ”

If the Qing Dynasty can defeat Li Zicheng, it will at least be able to occupy the north, and with the combat power of the Qing army, coupled with the manpower and material resources of the north, it will not be a problem to destroy Nanjing.

Seeing that he had taken another big step to dominate the Central Plains and dominate the world, Dolgon was very happy in his heart, so he stood up and walked out of the study, "Quickly bring the general's newspaper to this king to see!" ”

After a while, one of the guards walked in and knelt down to present a fold, and Dolgon reached out and took it, and unfolded it, only to be surprised that Dolgon's hands were loosened, and the fold fell to the ground.

The expectant smile on Dolgon's face instantly froze, and the whole person suddenly stayed in the middle like five thunderbolts.

Suddenly, he hurriedly picked up the fold again, looked at it again, and suddenly became so angry that his ears and nose smoked, and his eyes were red.

"Kill me angrily!" Dolgon roared and slammed the fold to the ground.

"Lord Wang!" The guards exclaimed.

Abatai was killed, and more than 4,500 warriors of the Qing Dynasty were killed, of which nearly 2,000 were lost in the Zhengbai Banner, which really cost Dolgon's life.

"Abatai, what a waste! Gao Yihuan is hateful! Dolgon was so angry that he paced back and forth in the room, scolding incessantly, so frightened that the guards knelt down and bowed their heads, and did not dare to come out.

After a long while, Dolgon calmed down, and suddenly commanded angrily: "Has this beating report been sent to the military headquarters?"

"Return to the prince, the messenger will come directly to the palace." The guard saluted back

Dolgon groaned for a while, and immediately gritted his teeth and ordered: "No one is allowed to spread the news of the beating." Then order the messenger to return immediately, not to leak any news, and order Duoduo to garrison Wei Hui and Huaiqing, and the personnel are not allowed to return to Beijing! ”

The guards were confused in their minds, but they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the order out.

As soon as the guards left, Dolgon's face showed a hideous look, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Gao Yihuan, it's Gao Yihuan again, when this king captures you, he will definitely kill you alive." ”

Thousands of miles away in Yuncheng, Gao Yihuan suddenly sneezed, he touched his nose, disagreed, and continued to flip through the papers.
