Chapter 40: The Butcher's Death

The Chu army suddenly entered Luoyang, and Li Jiyu was caught off guard, and he didn't even know who the enemy was, so he started to fight in a daze.

He desperately mobilized troops to resist, but the army in the city was in turmoil, not the opponent of the Chu army at all, was killed and retreated, when the sky was dark, most of Luoyang fell into the hands of the Ming army, seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers and horses around him, Li Jiyu did not dare to fight, and fled out of the east gate with hundreds of personal soldiers.

That night, the entire city of Luoyang was occupied by the Chu army.

Fleeing to a military fortress outside the city, Li Jiyu temporarily got rid of the danger, sent people to contact various fortresses, gathered the remnants of the defeated generals everywhere, and wanted to recapture Luoyang. But the scouts soon sent news that it was Li Laiheng and Zhang Nai, who captured Luoyang, and this Ming army was originally the soldiers and horses of the Dashun army, and now it is the camp of the Southern Ming and Chu army, not ordinary rogue soldiers.

The old enemy is here!

When Li Jiyu heard this amazing news, he was stunned for a long time and ordered to retreat overnight.

Can't afford to mess with it!

He fought with Li Zicheng back then, and suffered a big loss under the hands of the Dashun army, relying on the fact that he was the head snake of the land, so he was not eaten by the other party. Since then, he has never fought against the Dashun army, and privately helped Li Zicheng deal with the officials and soldiers of the imperial court...... Since the Dashun army came to Luoyang (no matter how they came), they couldn't afford to provoke it, so they had to hide.

Considering that the Ming army was a fast-moving cavalry, Li Jiyu did not dare to wait until dawn, and fled to Dengfeng with the remnants of the defeated army overnight. Dengfeng is his lair, and there are 10,000 horses stationed there, dozens of fortresses are connected, and it should be no problem to protect himself.

Li Jiyu's soldiers and horses were very familiar with the terrain in this area. Although he hurried overnight, the speed was very fast, and he fled in a hurry all the way to the southeast. At dawn, he arrived in Dengfeng, and the one who fled here with him was Song Tianjue, the prefect of Luoyang.

"How's that for good? How is it good? If we lose the city and lose the land, the court will definitely be able to escape death! Song Tianjue's face was like ashes, and he spun in circles, making Li Jiyu dizzy.

"Afraid of what? Afraid of what? Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, what is so strange about losing a battle! Li Ji was very inward-looking. was scolding Song Tianjue on his lips, and his heart was also messed up, very anxious.

It makes sense of common sense. His troops belonged to the field army, and unlike the prefect of Luoyang, who was "responsible for defending the territory", he did not have much responsibility for losing Luoyang, but he still felt very worried.

For two years. From Hanzhong He Zhen to Jiangxi Jin Shenghuan. and then to Datong Jiang Xuan, there are more and more generals of the former Ming Dynasty who rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, even the Yuyuan Army that rebelled in Luxi and Yudong also has a great relationship with Liu Zeqing, and the Qing court has more and more distrust of the former Ming generals...... Li Jiyu's life was not easy, he always felt that the Qing court was going to attack him, and now he lost Luoyang inexplicably, if he was more seriously held responsible. Losing your head is light, and if you don't do it, it will affect your family.

Song Tianjue was drunk by him. Finally calmed down, picked up the teacup and drank it all, then took off the top wear, pounced his head back and forth, frowned and thought about countermeasures.

"The current plan is to ask Li Shuai to do his best to recover Luoyang, and then go to the DPRK to find some way, as long as a lot of silver is sprinkled out, there may be a chance to turn around."

First of all, we must regain the lost territory, so that we can redeem the merits, and then use silver bullets to open the way, and turn big things into small things.

"Recovering Luoyang? Just kidding, you, it's harder than having a child......" Li Jiyu gritted his teeth and said: "Li Laiheng and Zhang Nai, both Li Chuang's remnants, are very fierce in the fight, my soldiers and horses are not the same at all, unless they leave Luoyang by themselves, don't want to fight back." ”

"Maybe, they will really leave Luoyang on their own." Song Tianjue rolled his eyes and said: "Li Chuangyu is all from a rogue, and he won't stay in one place for a long time, why don't I repair a book, send gold beads and grain, and ask them to leave as much as possible?" ”

Well? That's a solution!

Li Jiyu's eyes lit up, and the more he pondered it, the more reliable he felt, and suddenly slapped the table and said, "Okay, this matter will be done according to the wishes of Lord Fuzun......"

The two discussed carefully and wrote a letter to Li Laiheng, and Li Jiyu issued an order to collect the fortress garrisons around Luoyang and make way for the Ming army to leave. Song Tianjue was responsible for solving the problems on the side of the civil officials and avoiding the spread of the news of the loss of Luoyang, and the two of them scraped together a sum of money and sent someone to the capital to find some way.

Song Tianjue was a former Ming civil official who surrendered and had certain connections in the imperial court, so he quickly made a list of bribes and handed them to Li Jiyu very confidently.

Li Jiyu took it and glanced at it, and threw it aside.

"The people you're looking for are useless, and the portions aren't enough. This town and His Royal Highness Prince Yu have an old relationship, as long as Prince Yu is willing to help us say a word, it doesn't matter if it's a big deal. ”

Prince Yu is Duoduo, when Li Jiyu surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he once served as a pawn for Duoduo to lead the way, and he was his biggest backer.

Song Tianjue repeatedly said that Duoduo was Dorgon's right-hand man, and if he was willing to help, of course, it would be the best result. The only thing that worries people is whether or not Dodor is willing to take care of this trouble.

With apprehension, the two selected their henchmen to rush to Beijing with a sum of gold, silver and jewelry.

From Henan to Beijing all the way is a flat avenue, the envoy eats and sleeps, two days later rushed to Baoding, seeing the city of Beijing in the distance, but unexpectedly heard the news of Duoduo's death......

Duoduo, one of the most capable of fighting among the founding kings of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, made great achievements in his life, and was one of the eight iron hat kings.

He was deeply favored by Nurhachi since he was a child, and at the age of six he was made the owner of the Yellow Banner Beyler, and he was a brother born to his own mother with Azig and Dolgon. In 1626, Nurhachi suddenly hung up, and Huang Taiji became the lord of the Houjin Kingdom, but he felt that the three Dolgon brothers were too threatening, and their biological mother, the eldest concubine Ulanala, was especially a powerful character, so he forced the Ulanachi clan to be martyred for Nurhachi, and since then he has formed a mortal enmity with the three Dolgon brothers.

The Ulanala clan is not a fool, she is worried that after her death, Huang Taiji will be unfavorable to the three Dolgon brothers, and before committing suicide, she forced Huang Taiji to promise to "support" them in public. In order to achieve his goal, Huang Taiji agreed to her request. So the three Dorgon brothers were still able to be reused.

At the age of twelve, he lost his parents overnight, and his mother was forced to die by his half-brother. Duoduo was stimulated so much that he became a psychologically twisted pervert. Twenty years later, in the face of hundreds of thousands of people in Yangzhou, he raised the butcher knife without hesitation and killed it for ten days in a row......

Throughout his life, Duoduo acted wildly and uninhibitedly, and was a well-known absurd prince, known for his lust. He first likes mature women from good families. robbed the wife of Fan Wencheng, the head of the dynasty, and secondly, he liked prostitutes, and he brought prostitutes with him in the army when he was fighting. In the official history, he died of smallpox, but in the wild history, there is another theory, that he actually died of flower willow disease.

Duoduo often fought against Huang Taiji, but he was indeed very capable of fighting. He participated in the battles before and after the founding of the Manchu Dynasty. Although Huang Taiji demoted him to the title several times, he insisted on climbing to a high position step by step by virtue of his military exploits. In addition to this, Dorgon has always been loyal to Dolgon, and is his right-hand man, because Dorgon has never had an heir, and he has succeeded his son Dorgon as his son.

The sudden death of Dorgon was a devastating blow to Dorgon.

In the past year, Dolgon has killed Zhang Xianzhong. Kill Hauge and occupy most of China. Climbed to the top of a life's work. At the end of 1648, Nurhachi's second son, Prince Li, died of illness in Beijing at the age of 66, and no one in the court could suppress Dolgon, so on December 21, when the winter solstice ceremony was held at the Temple of Heaven, Dolgon was crowned regent of his father, becoming the rightful emperor of the Manchu Empire.

(Dolgon's original title was the regent of the emperor's uncle, Manchu Haniccikeamawang, literally translated as the uncle of the Great Khan, and now it has become the regent of the imperial father, Manchu Haniamawang, this word is easy to understand, han is the Great Khan, ama is Amma, wang is the king, and the literal translation is the father of the Great Khan, and the Chinese is called the regent of the imperial father.) )

After being crowned regent of the emperor's father, Dolgon's identity far surpassed that of Emperor Shunzhi's other uncles, such as Zilharang, who still held a certain amount of power, theoretically speaking, he had pinched the power of life and death of the little emperor of Shunzhi in the palm of his hand, and was ready to usurp the throne.

Shunzhi and Xiaozhuang are very afraid, but they are helpless, since Dolgon is the regent of the imperial father, it is very simple to abolish Emperor Shunzhi, they can only be slaughtered, but they have no ability to resist. The only thing that made them feel a little at ease was that Dolgon had never had a son, and if he directly abolished Shunzhi and became the emperor, it would be too ugly to eat, so Emperor Shunzhi was still safe for the time being, and a miracle might happen if he waited.

Waiting slowly, boiling slowly, Hyozhuang prayed silently in the harem every night, praying that Dorgon's plan to create a man tonight would not succeed.

Dolgon's side was also prepared, and succeeded Dolbo as his son, in addition to bringing Dordor closer, this was also done to keep a successor. Of course, this is only a precautionary measure, and it will not be used until it is forced to happen, and Dolgon, who is in his prime, believes that he will be able to have a son sooner or later, and will not abolish Shunzhi now and let Dolbo be the emperor.

……

Let's introduce Zilharang, which is related to the following plot, the next boss that will appear.

Zilharang was an old fox, tumbler, wall-riding faction, and a master of mud during the founding of the Manchu Dynasty.

After Dolgon killed Hauge, he also cleaned up Zilharang and demoted him from prince to county king, but after a few months he was reinstated as prince but not auxiliary prince, and pushed him out of the center of power. After Dolgon's death, Shunzhi reused Zilharang to fight against the remnants of Dolgon, and then threw him aside like a rag.

Although this does not mean that Zilharang is a straw bag, and on the contrary, Zilharang is actually a very good character, not only has a set of wars, but is especially good at political struggles. He is Nurhachi's nephew, and he was not qualified to be on the stage of the highest government, but he has served as the auxiliary prince for a long time, the owner of the blue flag, and plays a major role with a lot of weight, which fully illustrates his ability.

A man like Zilharang, when faced with a high mountain, he bows his head and is willing to be a gentle and supple scenery at the foot of the mountain, and in the face of the dirt bags that are weaker than him, he will roar and set off huge waves to smash the mud bags that cause trouble.

In the end, I couldn't help but complain about Duoduo.

Duoduo's uninhibited behavior may be the reason why he is easy to get out of the picture, and some film and television works and novels of pigtail dramas have a strong description of Duoduo, and there are many beautifications, shaping him into a sunny boy who dares to love and hate, and has a personality...... You're fucking sex! Beautify Kangxi, beautify Qianlong, even beautify Shunzhi and Huang Taiji, even the executioner of the Yangzhou Ten Days Massacre must be beautified, is there a basic bottom line!

I digress, not much more. (To be continued......)
