Chapter Ninety-Seven: Dodor's Doubts

It turned out that day the Manchu Qing Yujun Wang Duoduo led 5,000 cavalry to Liaoyang, and when he arrived, he found that the city gate was wide open, and there was no trace of people in the city.

Duoduo was even more suspicious, and sent another thousand men into the city to search carefully, but after a careful search, he still reported that no enemy troops were found, so he relented and hurried into the city.

After entering the city, he first rushed into the county office, but he didn't find the whereabouts of the princess at all. Then he went to explore the granary of the treasury, and found that all the granaries and treasury had become empty, and there was not a grain of rice or a tael of silver left.

The reason why Duoduo killed these people was not just because he was angry and looking for someone to vent, but because these people kept muttering to themselves that they had met the devil, and all the money in the treasury was gone, which angered Duoduo even more, so he was angry with them.

After ordering people to search the whole city carefully, they didn't find the whereabouts of the princess at all, and there were no dead or dead people, but only the corpses of more than a dozen white-armored soldiers who guarded the princess.

After examining the corpses, Duoduo's face became even more gloomy, as he could see that several of the corpses had apparently been killed by the cannon's iron shells.

From this point it can be judged that the enemy has artillery in his hands. However, according to Duoduo's knowledge, except for the Ming Dynasty and their Qing Dynasty, none of the surrounding forces had cannons.

Could it be the Ming Army? But Duoduo quickly denied this conjecture, the Ming army could only survive these years to hold Datong, which was already a big difficulty, where did the courage and strength come from to attack Liaoyang, and also brought cannons?

From the cannonballs found in the hall of the county office, Duoduo determined the source of these cannons.

Because according to the regulations, every firebolt, every cannon, and even every cannonball has the name of the craftsman on it, which is also convenient to trace the source to find the responsible person if there is a quality problem in the future.

From these cannonballs, Duoduo found the marks of their Great Qing Firearms Bureau, which meant that these cannons were the red-coated cannons they had cast in the Great Qing Dynasty.

And who is the head of the Firearms Bureau? It is the Tong Yang who has died on the battlefield.

And what did Huang Taiji's princess do when she came to Liaoyang this time, in fact, because Huang Taiji wanted to marry her daughter to Tong Yang's eldest son as his wife, and her daughter wanted to come to see her future husband's character, so she begged Huang Taiji to come to Liaoyang.

Now that the princess is missing, and there are shells from the red-clothed cannon produced by Tong Yangxing, if there is no connection between these things, Duoduo will not believe it at all.

Moreover, Duoduo, like his brother Dorgon, was not pleasing to Tong Yang, because this person was only loyal to Huang Taiji and refused to be wooed by them many times, which made the three Dolgon brothers have long held a grudge against him.

"Hmph, surnamed Tong, I see how you explain this time!" Duoduo sneered in his heart, and soon realized that this was a good opportunity to get rid of the thorn in Tong Yang's side.

He was well aware of his brother Dorgon's ambitions, so he naturally would not let go of this good opportunity.

It's just that he didn't know that Tong Yangxing, who he wanted to get rid of, had already moved his head at the moment, and his corpse was about to stink.

The people sent by Dodor soon came to report the news from the city, and when all the news was gathered in front of Dodor, Dodor was suddenly at a loss.

According to the common people, it was a young general named Jiang Chuan who led the people to capture Liaoyang, and many people have seen his face.

According to these descriptions, Duoduo could not associate him with any of the Ming border generals he remembered.

What's more, according to the description of the people, the armor style and weapon style of the people and horses brought by Jiangchuan are far from those of the Ming army. And more importantly, those soldiers and horses are all cavalry, and the horses are all tall horses, which are taller than the war horses of the Eight Banners cavalry.

Moreover, this surnamed Jiang also opened a porridge shed in the city to reward the people, and made some standing wood as a letter, abducting a large number of people.

And when I left, I didn't see any carts carrying grain.

When all this information came together, Duoduo was really at a loss, this person was completely alien to him, and he had no clue. And this person's style made him even more incomprehensible, what kind of standing wood for faith, and also took away a group of untouchables who had to take care of food and drink, and did not take away the gold and silver of the treasury and the grain of the granary, so where did the hundreds of thousands of stone grain and so much treasury silver go?

Why did this man take away the people? Since Liaoyang City was conquered, why didn't you occupy it, but just took away a group of people?

Who the hell is he? What are you going to do? Dodor thought about it for a long time, completely unable to figure it out.

But one thing is for sure, someone has seen the princess taken away by that guy with their own eyes.

Dodor was momentarily clueless. He is still good at letting him lead troops to fight, but letting him analyze these seemingly illogical things is not his forte.

If only his brother Dorgon were here, he would have a way. Dodor thought.

Suddenly, a soldier came to report that Prince Rui's army had left his division from Datong City, and the advance had reached twenty miles away.

Duoduo was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the men out of the city on horseback to prepare to meet them.

After Duoduo and his party left the city, they soon saw smoke and dust billowing from the south, obscuring the sky and the sun, and rumbling sounds were rushing towards this place from far and near, which was obviously the appearance of a large number of cavalry rushing quickly.

The waves of cavalry were getting closer and closer, and the first one was a white horse, and the knight was tall on the horse, with a helmet fluttering on his helmet, and a big red cloak fluttering in the wind behind him.

"Big brother, I didn't expect you to come back so quickly." Dodor rode quickly and shouted.

That man was none other than Dorgon, Prince Rui, the commander of the attack on Datong.

Dolgon was also happy to see his younger brother, and waved his hand behind him, and the thousands of cavalry behind him immediately slowed down, and soon stopped their horses and stopped there.

With only 200 of his own soldiers, Geshha, rode along with his brother Dordor into the city.

"Brother, what's going on in the city now?" Dorgon asked in a deep voice.

Dorgon recounted what had been found in the city, and Dorgon pondered for a moment before saying, "Let's talk about the city first." If I'm not mistaken, we've come across a new enemy this time, and it seems to be a lot of courage and strength. But it looks much more interesting than the gang of cowards in the Ming Kingdom. “

At the end, Dorgon couldn't help but laugh out loud, and that kind of confidence and heroism made Dordor also feel relieved, and laughed along.
