Chapter 457: Dolgon's Struggle and Compromise

readx;

When Dolgon hesitated, Shang Kexi was consumed by power and tried to kill the lord and seize the throne. At the critical juncture www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, Ning Er sacrificed himself to save his brother, and was willing to block the knife for Dolgon, but fortunately Zhu Qing was quick at the city gate, and before Shang Kexi's knife fell, an arrow pierced his heart and took the life of Shang Han's traitor. Since then, except for Wu Sangui, the four traitors in the late Ming Dynasty fled to Yunnan, and the other three soldiers were all killed by Zhu Qing!

However, for Dolgon, who did not die in the catastrophe, although he was grateful and guilty for the sacrifice of the thirteenth sister to save her, Dolgon still would not relent.

Dolgon got up under the support of the generals, looked at Ning'er and Bai Ying who fell to the ground in order to save himself, and just said lightly to his subordinates, "Help them up!" After a pause, he added, "Untie them." ”

After Zhu Qing and the others standing at the city gate saw Dolgon's actions, they all thought that this time they had saved Dolgon's life, and the negotiation would be much better. Unexpectedly, when Zhu Qing asked Dolgon about the peace situation, Dolgon still said coldly, "Hmph, Qinglong, a person like Shang Kexi, even if you don't kill him, this king will have to clean him up sooner or later, he is just a dog raised by this king!" You want to use this as a condition for negotiation to blackmail this king, is it a bit wishful thinking? ”

When the generals of the Ming Dynasty heard this, they all secretly scolded Dolgon for being ungrateful, but Zhu Qing was much calmer, he knew that if Dolgon compromised so easily, then he would not be able to lead troops into the customs to fight Dolgon in the Ming capital!

"I expected you to say that, so let's talk about it, what other cards do you have to play?!" Zhu Qing sneered.

"This king heard that last night's riot in Bei'anmen was just the work of a few Han people, and General Zu Dashou is still missing, so you are not afraid that we will attack back and forth?!" It seems that after Bei'anmen was controlled by the Jinyi Guard, Dolgon's military intelligence was greatly weakened, and even the news of Zu Dashou's beheading was not confirmed!

Before Dolgon's words fell, the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers on the city wall couldn't help laughing.

Dolgon felt bad and shouted, "What are you laughing at?!" ”

"Laugh at you!" Chongzhen couldn't help but get up and answer, and then beckoned to Ouchi beside him, who immediately carried a bundle of cloth.

"Qinglong, show him, can his ancestor still fight him back and forth?!" Chongzhen motioned to Ouchi to hand over the cloth bag wrapped with Zu Dashou's head to Zhu Qing.

Zhu Qing nodded, "Command!" So saying, he took the sack, without looking at it, threw it with all his might, and threw it at Dorgon!

"Look at it, look at your ancestral general!" Zhu Qing sneered at Dolgon.

Dolgon took the cloth bag, opened it, and looked at it, his face shocked, "Huh?! This ...... "Compared to Shang Kexi's betrayal, although Dolgon will not fully trust Zu Dashou, he still has illusions about him, and Zu Dashou is still a good piece of material to fight!" However, when Dolgon saw the head of Zu Dashou, he was hit again, which meant that Bei'anmen was completely defeated, not only the lord would be killed, but even nearly 100,000 troops were also absorbed by Jinyi Weice! The loss of 100,000 troops at once was not an ordinary setback, but a serious disruption of Dorgon's overall plan!

However, even bigger blows soon followed!

When Dolgon was holding the head of Zu Dashoudi in a daze, suddenly there was an urgent report from the end door behind him.

"Report!" A Qing soldier rode into the end gate on a fast horse, looking panicked.

The Qing soldier went straight to Dolgon's side in the noon gate square, "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! There is urgent information to report to the Prince! "The Qing soldiers rushed between the Qing troops, and the Qing troops had to quickly give way to a passage. The Qing soldier rode to Dolgon's side, and one of them turned over and dismounted, and before he had time to catch his breath, he knelt down and said, "Prince! Big things are not good......"

As soon as these words came out, Dolgon and the Qing generals were shocked.

"Say it! What?! Dorgon said eagerly.

"Prince, the spies in front have come to report that a troop suddenly appeared outside the capital, no less than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and equipped with firearms, and now it has entered Zhengyang Gate!" Qing Bing reported.

When Dolgon heard this, his face was shocked again, and he looked at the generals around him, and then asked, "Can you see where it came from?" ”

Qing Bing shook his head, "Although I haven't confirmed my identity, it's definitely not my Eight Banners, it's a native of the Central Plains, I don't know if it's an enemy or a friend!" ”

"Central Plains?" Dorgon pondered.

"Prince, could it be a local force in the Central Plains, wanting to have a praying mantis catching cicada and yellow finch behind?" A general spoke.

Dolgon nodded, "It is very likely that the main force of the Ming army is almost all in this Forbidden City, and even the Kaifeng army has come, and it is impossible for the Ming army to have other reinforcements!" Dolgon said, turning his head and pointing at the Qing soldier and shouting, "Probe! ”

After the soldiers left, the Manchu generals began to talk about it, some were worried, and some were eager to try, threatening to lead troops to stop it! Dolgon pondered for a moment, then raised his hand to stop, "No, we are negotiating with the Ming army now, and we can't easily mobilize our troops. Even if there are some stragglers, they are just princes who are not in the climate. The order went down and asked the soldiers of Duanmen to take more precautions, hide it for this king first, and let's also sing an empty city plan to the Central Plains people, and then kill him by surprise! ”

Dorgon spoke with confidence, and even the surrounding generals could not help but praise, "The prince is very strategic! ”

"Hmph, do you want the praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches? This king will let him have no return! Since the person who came is not the reinforcement of the Ming Dynasty, let's have another plan! It is said that my Eight Banners reinforcements have arrived, and I use my power to bluff the unsuspecting Ming army! Dorgon quickly thought of another note. He felt that the combination of these two strategies would be another bargaining chip in negotiations with the Ming army! To this end, Dorgon sent another minister out of the city, ready to negotiate with the incoming army.

However, this time, Dolgon miscalculated again, because it was not the local princes, but the 50,000 sect members led by Xu Hongfei personally went north to save the second master White Shadow. And it was not the Ming army that caught the white shadow, but Dolgon! That's why they're destined to come to Dorgon!

Just when Dolgon was busy dealing with the White Lotus Sect behind him, a brocade-clothed spy guard suddenly ran up to the city gate, this time, he was much smarter than before, he did not shout in front of the public, but ran straight to Zhu Qing's side and whispered in Zhu Qing's ear for a while. Even Chongzhen and Killing Feng and others don't know!

After Zhu Qing heard this, he was startled at first, then nodded, and when the spy finished speaking, Zhu Qing also gave a few words in his ear, and then let the spy leave!

After the spies left, Chongzhen asked, "What happened again?" ”

"Xu Hongfei has entered Zhengyang Gate with 50,000 soldiers and horses!" Zhu Qing said to Chongzhen and the generals.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, although they had already learned the news that Xu Hongfei had gone north, but when they heard that 50,000 people had entered the imperial city with firearms, they were still a little worried, especially Chongzhen!

"I just saw that there was an urgent report of war horses in the Qing army, so it must be this matter." Killing Wind guessed.

Zhu Qing nodded, "I'm worried that Xu Hongfei will fall for Dolgon's tricks, so I have ordered Jinyi Wei to go to answer it, the Duanmen area has now been controlled by the Qing army, Heisha, you go in person, you must make it clear to Sect Master Xu, it's really difficult, just plan it, control Duanmen first!" ”

After hearing this, Hei Sha nodded, "Understood, Qinglong, you must save my aunt and the White Shadow Hero, otherwise, you should know the consequences!" ”

Zhu Qing nodded, of course he knew the consequences, Ning'er was the woman he wanted to protect, and he must be saved, and Bai Ying was the second leader of the White Lotus Sect, if something happened to Bai Ying, then the fifty thousand well-equipped White Lotus Sect members outside the city would be able to settle accounts with the Ming Court, and when the time came, it would really force his friend to become an enemy. Zhu Qing can't do this kind of business, so he naturally won't do it!

After a while, there was a movement of the army marching outside the city gate, presumably Xu Hongfei had already led people to rush into the end gate!

When Dolgon heard this, he smiled proudly and smiled at Zhu Qing, "Qinglong, do you hear that?" My Eight Banners reinforcements have arrived! Those who know each other quickly let me go of the Qing Emperor and the Queen Mother, and I will release your woman and this White Lotus Sect! Otherwise, when the reinforcements arrive, it will be difficult to talk about it! ”

In the face of Dolgon's intimidation, Zhu Qing had a bottom in his heart and was naturally unmoved.

"How do you know that the troops outside the city belong to your Qing army? Why can't it be my Ming Army's? Zhu Qing said intentionally.

"Hmph, do you see? The Minister of Our Army has gone to answer it! Dolgon thought that Zhu Qing didn't know yet, so he continued to insist.

Just then, someone came to report to Dorgon!

"Prince, the person who came said that it was the old department of General Zu Dashou, they were originally in the suburbs of Beijing to block the Jinyi Guard, and later were subdued by the Jinyi Guard, and were arranged to Kaifeng to defend the city, they heard that General Zu was ready to establish a meritorious career in the capital, so they were killed from Kaifeng, it turned out that the Jinyi Guard made a large number of firearms in Kaifeng, and they were equipped with nearly 10,000 firearms this time. The councillor has already negotiated with them, but they have heard that we have captured a man named White Shadow, and they are bent on wanting White Shadow to cooperate with us! "The spies probably reported to Dolgon what the Qing army's ministers meant.

Dolgon was very satisfied after hearing this, he had also heard about Zu Dashou's shop in the suburbs of Beijing earlier, and it was more reliable to think about it, but why did the other party want Baiying? This made Dolgon a little puzzled, "They know White Shadow?" ”

The spy nodded, "The incident in the suburbs of Beijing, it is this white shadow who is making trouble, they want to avenge the past!" ”

"Didn't mention Ning'er Gege?" Dorgon asked.

"I didn't mention it, the minister said it, but they don't seem to care about Ning Ergege's life or death, they must not know each other."

Dolgon nodded, "Good! Immediately send the White Shadow to the Minister of Deliberation, negotiate the matter as soon as possible, and enter the city to support our army! ”

"Yes!"

The white shadow was taken out, but Dolgon never expected that he would let go of a crucial hostage like this, if the white shadow was still in Dolgon's hands, he would still have the qualifications to negotiate with Xu Hongfei, and now, he is gone!

Seeing that the white shadow was taken away, Zhu Qing on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, his plan had begun to work, and one person was out of danger. Now, only his woman Ning'er is still trapped in the enemy camp.

"Dolgon, I promise you, you let my woman go, and I let go of your woman! How is it? Zhu Qing asked Dolgon.

Dolgon, too, thought his plan had worked, and smirked, "Good! However, you have to release the Queen Mother and my Qing Emperor at the same time! ”

"Two for one, it seems that I can't make it, right?" Zhu Qing responded.

Dolgon thought about it, looked at the thirteenth sister Ning'er who had just saved his life, and nodded ruthlessly, "It's okay, let's exchange one for one first!" ”

"Good!" Zhu Qing responded, and said to Ning'er, "Ning'er, come here, I'll let Suzaku go down to pick you up." ”

Saying that, Zhu Qing pushed Da Yu'er down the city gate, but Da Yu'er refused to leave Fu alone, crying and shouting to let Fu Lin go first!

But whether it is Chongzhen or Zhu Qing, they all feel that Fulin must stay! Da Yu'er had no choice but to walk to Dorgon with tears in her eyes.

Suzaku picked up Ning'er under the city gate, and Da Yu'er also walked in front of Dolgon.

Just when a few people wanted to have some emotion when they met, there was a sudden sound of killing outside the end door! Immediately afterwards, a Qing soldier hurriedly came to report.

"Oh no! Hit the trick! Zu Dashou's subordinates have come in! ”

"Ahh What's going on?! "Dolgon was shocked!

"Hahaha, Dolgon, it seems that you are really smart, and how can you easily trust a well-armed army of fifty thousand men? Do you think the reinforcements behind you are really Zu Dashou's old department? Definitely! They are members of the White Lotus Sect! It's the reinforcements that General Ben personally mobilized! was supposed to save their second-in-command White Shadow, but you sent it out for nothing! I can't thank you enough! Hahaha! This time, Zhu Qing laughed out loud after a long absence, because all the hostages on the ground in Dolgon's hands had been rescued, and Xu Hongfei's firearms troops had also arrived, and Dolgon had just lost Shang Kexi and many other generals, which can be described as a loss of chips and morale!

"Hit the mark!" Listening to Zhu Qing's words, watching the Qing army retreat into the city in embarrassment, Dolgon sat down in the Taishi's chair and sighed in disgrace!
