311 Qing court coup
But said that at this time in the Manchu Shengjing court, Dolgon had just arrived in Shengjing, and he did not expect that he would come back again, and in the eighth year of Tiancong (1634), Emperor Taiji respected Shenyang as "Shengjing". In the first year of Shunzhi (1644), after the Qing Dynasty moved its capital to Beijing, Shenyang was the capital of Shenyang, no one thought that they would be beaten back to their hometown, at this time in the northeast, because of the heavy snow for several days, although the sky has been cleared, but the snow that has just melted, has not yet penetrated into the mud, and the road is still muddy.
"Ahem... Ahem..."
A cold wind blew, Dolgon couldn't help coughing a few times, he was thin, he was suffering from wind disease, after entering the pass, he became seriously ill, often dizzy, it is said that it was due to the battle of Songshan outside the pass, he personally put on the root of the disease, and worked hard to plant the root of the disease. Even though he was sick after entering the customs, Dolgon still took care of every opportunity and was always conscientious, resulting in no improvement, and Dorgon's own brother Dordo died of depression, and the two siblings insisted on dying together; Then the two sisters-in-law died of smallpox, which was a heavy psychological burden for the frail Dorgon, who always felt that disaster was coming. Soon after, his concubine Borzigit died of smallpox, and his relatives died one after another, like a huge shadow, hanging over Dolgon's heart, and he was depressed all day long, and his illness worsened. This time the defeat was lost, the elite of the Eight Banners lost nearly half, and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were almost completely lost, and the green battalion soldiers on the road fled innumerable, and the civil and military officials who followed them back to the Guannai were only half of those when they were in the Beijing Imperial Court, and the soldiers and horses were only 80,000 people, which was a serious blow to Dolgon, making him lie on the carriage all the way, and it was difficult to get up.
"Regent, Bolo, Tunai two generals attacked repeatedly, has captured the Mongolian Sunit Department Tengjisi, Tengjite and other rebels, it turns out that my Qing army is still strong, the slave thought that this defeat is actually our despise of the Ming Empire for hundreds of years, now is the moment of shame and bravery, my Qing Dynasty is also still there, there is still a turnaround, but the outside still needs to be inside, for this slave also asked the regent to make a decision early!"
In the face of Ganglin's words, Dolgon's face was a little uncertain, as a powerful minister of a country, many years of political career have polished him, Dolgon can naturally guess the implication of Ganglin's words.
"Yes, the regent, since the customs exit, there have been many forbidden words in the court, as well as in the army, Prince Zheng even publicly shouted, this defeat, the responsibility should be borne by the regent, you should resign, and apologize to the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty is the ......" Qi Chongge, the senior bachelor next to him, also bowed down and whispered, both of them are Dolgon's henchmen, and only they dare to say these words in front of Dolgon.
Dolgon also understands that at this time the Qing Dynasty is by no means a monolith, it can be said that each has a ghost, many people are eyeing him behind his back, compared to the Ming Dynasty, he is more unguarded, the reason why Dolgon has been able to maintain a stable situation over the years, is because of the power in his hands, over the years, the cronies he promoted have been waving the army for the Qing Dynasty to fight in the south and the north, and for the Qing Dynasty to set the Central Plains, it can be said that the merit is very great! So that Dolgon can firmly control the authority, the power is strong, and the power is unpredictable, which is why everyone is so afraid of Dolgon.
It is precisely these factors that make his status of Dolgon rise day by day, from auxiliary king to regent, and then the regent of his uncle Houshi, the regent of his uncle of the emperor, and at the time of the Central Plains War, he further became the regent of the imperial father, and now he fled in such a hurry, and the huge consequences brought by it were that even Dolgon himself had to admit it.
And what Ganglin and Qi Chongge said is also a fact in the Qing Dynasty today, the most obvious fact in front of us! But after enjoying power, how could Dolgon be so willing to give it up, his thirst for power was like a hungry wolf, that is, endless greed!
And at this moment, a guard outside the gate of the mansion hurriedly came to report.
"Regent, the big thing is not good, Prince Su has surrounded the palace with a detachment of men."
"What?!" Hearing this, Dolgon's originally pale face at this time suddenly turned extremely white, and at this moment, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and then there was "poof! But a mouthful of black blood spurted out of his mouth in an instant.
"Regent, he is here to force the palace, and he asks the regent to immediately transfer troops and horses to suppress it." Ganglin also helped Dolgon to sit down and asked Dolgon for his life.
Dolgon waved his hand weakly, and said with a wry smile: "Troop transfer, do you think Hauge will let you out, even a fly can't fly out now, and if Hauge is not prepared, how dare he act like this." ”
There was no need for Ganglin and Qi Chongge to say anything, Haoge had already walked in in armor, and he was accompanied by Prince Zheng Zierharang, Prince Ying Azig, Prince Jingjin Nikan, Prince Li Mandahai, Jun Wang Shuosai, as well as Wu Dahai, Darcha, Duerhu, Sabi, Feyata, and a large number of court ministers, such as Sony, Sukh Saha, Tulai, Kubilong, and so on.
Seeing so many people coming, Dolgon did not show the slightest panic, but stood up with a calm face, stared at everyone coldly, and said, "Hauge, is there something wrong with you bringing so many people to my mansion?" ”
"Don't you know, Dolgon, what are we here for?" Others are afraid of Dolgon, but Hauge really doesn't have half a fear, now that feng shui is turning, Dolgon can be described as majestic, if Hauge doesn't take this opportunity to stand up, then he is too stupid.
"I really don't know what you're here for, tell me what's interesting, get out of here immediately, or don't blame me for being rude."
When Hauge heard this, he also laughed, looked at Dolgon with some ridicule, and said: "I want to know why you are not polite, let me tell you the truth, the 30,000 troops around Gyeonggi have all been controlled by me, I can't think of it, I can't think of it, you have soldiers and horses, yes, but don't forget, we also have it, and we also have foreign aid, Ao Bai and Wu Sangui brought back 20,000 troops from Hanzhong, and they have arrived in Jinzhou, Dolgon, you have the power to monopolize it, and you are powerful, As a result, the city and land that my Qing soldiers exchanged for blood were all lost, what face do you have and what kind of imperial father regent is the name, if the first emperor has knowledge, he will not forgive you, a wolf with ambition, I have discussed with several clan and ministers in the court, and I and Prince Zheng and Prince Ying will take over the government of the court and restore the old system of the Council of Ministers of the King of Parliament, and you can decide on state affairs alone, and the Qing Kingdom is not your Dolgon alone. ”
"Good! Good! Good! Dorgon shouted three good words in a row.
"I know that Prince Rui is sick, so from now on, close the palace, I will send five hundred elite soldiers to guard day and night, so that Prince Rui can concentrate on recuperating your body, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the court, you are a meritorious man, but you have also had it, the court will give you a fair ruling, you can rest assured!"
"Then I'll thank you so much!" Dolgon also sneered, said no more, brushed his sleeves away, and when he walked to the back hall, he finally couldn't support it, and fell to the ground unconscious.
Dolgon was seriously ill and bedridden, and he had to hand over the power in his hands, and the Shunzhi Emperor announced at will that the Council of Ministers of the Council of Ministers would be restored, led by the emperor, and the prince, the prince of the county, Baylor, Beizi and other nobles participated in the discussion, with Hauge, Zilharang, and Azig as the mainstay, and the rest of the county kings and Baylor were supplemented to preside over the government. At the same time, Shunzhi issued a decree to revoke the name of Dolgon's father as regent, restore his title of Prince Rui, and confine him to recuperate in the palace and not participate in court politics.
