Chongzhen, who was sleepless in the middle of the night and inadvertently walked to the coal mountain, never imagined that he would see this deformed crooked neck tree again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info that may be the end of his life and the fate of the Ming Dynasty.

This night was so short for Duo Chongzhen and the Ming army, but it was so long for Dolgon and the Qing army. Because a piece of news quickly spread among the Qing army, prolonging the night indefinitely.

"I heard that Jinyiwei raided Shengjing, Shengjing fell, and the emperor and Niangniang and others were captured!"

"Huh? How can it be? Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan, and Jinzhou are all under the control of my Eight Banners Army, where did Jinyiwei come from? ”

"Who knows, it is said that the green dragon is not dead yet. This time it was he who led the team. ”

……

Several Qing soldiers gathered around and discussed, and in the night, a Qing soldier wandered in the Qing army camp, spreading this terrible information.

This person is the gentleman on the beam! Obviously, the Killing Wind sent Jinyi Wei out of the city to infiltrate the Qing army and spread rumors.

When Dolgon heard that some people in the army were spreading rumors and walked out of the military tent in anger, Sai Shiqian and a few Jinyi guards had already secretly left the Qing army camp!

"Say! What were you talking about? "Dolgon's commander Hodor followed Dolgon out of the account to interrogate a few of the soldiers who were talking.

This is a deadly piece of information, and it is nonsense without real evidence, but it is going to be killed! Several Qing soldiers trembled, and no one dared to speak.

Hodo pulled out his sword and pointed angrily at one of them, "Say! If you don't say it, you have to die! ”

If you don't say it, it's better to talk about it. One of them suddenly bowed, "General, I said, I said." ”

"Speak quickly!" Dorgon was also annoyed, and though he had heard of it, he hoped to derive a more truthful answer from the mouths of those who had talked about it.

"Prince, general, it is said that ...... It is said that our capital, Shengjing, was captured by the Jinyi Guards led by Qinglong...... "The more the soldier spoke, the more he trembled, and Huo Duo's sword was still dangling in front of his eyes.

"Go on!" Clearly, Dorgon was holding back his anger.

"This ......" the soldier hesitated, he still knew how to read words, and he had already revealed a murderous anger from the Dolgon beam.

"Speak quickly!" Na Hodo raised the knife and threatened!

"Yes, yes......" The soldier was frightened, so he had to continue, "It is said that even the emperor and ......" the soldier glanced at Dolgon and continued, "He Niangniang and the others have been arrested!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, after all, the rumors just now only spread on a small scale, and now after such a public interrogation by Dolgon, the rumors that Shengjing was captured and the emperor were arrested spread throughout the army!

The soldier shuddered as Dolgon's eyes fixed on him for a long time, and he squeezed a sentence out between his teeth, "According to whom?!" ”

This is a serious problem, rumors can't be unfounded, and Dorgon wants to rescue the perpetrator!

"Yes......" When the soldier heard this, he hurriedly searched around, but the person he had just told them was nowhere to be found, and he was missing, "That person is gone?!" I was still here! Why did you suddenly disappear?! The more the soldier spoke, the more worried he became, he seemed to know what it meant!

Sure enough, Dolgon looked at the soldier in front of him who couldn't tell the rumor, so he snorted coldly, "Spread rumors, slander the Qing Dynasty, disturb the morale of the army, and behead me!" ”

"Don't, don't! Prince, I've heard that too! The soldier went limp, fell to the ground, and begged for mercy!

"The prince spares his life, we also heard from other people's mouths!" The few people who were with the soldier also begged for mercy!

"One piece is chopped!" Dolgon grew angrier and shouted!

Huo Duo raised his war knife, his hand rose and fell, and several lives whimpered on the spot. The crowd was terrified!

"This is a small trick used by the Ming army in order to break the morale of our army, they actually believe it to be true, and use false rumors to disturb the morale of the army, and the crime is unforgivable! If there are any more knowingly and false rumors, this will happen! Dolgon pointed to the soldiers who had fallen to the ground and reprimanded the whole army! As he spoke, he returned to the tent in anger and waited for the dawn!

After Dolgon's killing and setting an example, no one in the Qing army dared to speak lightly about the rumors of Shengjing, and the rumors seemed to be self-defeating, but the Qing army, which was calm on the surface, seemed to have some fear in their hearts, because the 50,000 Ming troops led by Qinglong did not know where to go, and they thought they would return to Shanhaiguan, but when they fought Shanhaiguan, they did not see Zhu Qing's department, where did Qinglong lead the troops?

Dolgon returned to the military tent, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he called Zu Dashou and Huo Duo and other generals to express his worries!

"Two days ago, this king's eyelids jumped very badly, although this king never believed in this kind of evil, but, who can tell me, where did Qinglong go with Ning Yuan's 50,000 Ming army?!" Dorgon asked irritatingly.

The generals look at me and I look at you, no one dares to say a word, thinking that no one knows the exact situation!

"Maybe you don't know. for you have been following this king on his quest. Looking at the general's shaking his head, Dorgon asked himself.

"...... is the prince worried about that rumor?" Zu Dashou said tentatively.

"General Zu!" Huo Duo snorted, he didn't want Zu Dashou to shake the army's heart again, and he didn't want Zu Dashou to affect Dolgon's mood.

But this time, Hodo was stopped by Dolgon's raised hand, he paced back and forth in the military tent for a few steps, stood in the direction of Liaodong for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "Don't hide it from you, this king has been restless for the past two days, but this is not just because the siege is unfavorable, but an inexplicable fear from the bottom of his heart, this king has never had such fear......" Dolgon finally expressed his worries.

"The prince may have had these thoughts only when he was tired from many days of fighting. Besides, even if the 50,000 Ming troops are still alive, the two city fortresses of Ningyuan and Jinzhou are still in the hands of our army, not to mention that Sheng Jing and General Alasuo led 100,000 troops and Geng Jingzhong's troops to jointly defend them, why should the 50,000 Ming troops be concerned? In order to dispel Dorgon's concerns, Hodor analyzed the situation again. After hearing this, the generals were all excited, and they all nodded in agreement with what Hodo said.

Although Dolgon also knew that the Qing army had a way back, he still couldn't rest assured, he turned around, glanced at all the generals in the military tent, and said seriously, "That's Qinglong personally leading the team!" ”

When the generals heard this, they fell silent again, because they all knew how powerful the Jinyi Guard was, and they even knew how powerful the Jinyi Guard under the leadership of Zhu Qing was! In the previous battle between Jinzhou and Ningyuan, Zhu Qingke made them eat a lot of bones!

"As the Prince sees, should we do something about it?!" Zu Dashou, who is still old and spicy, knows how to observe words and emotions the most, figure out people's hearts, and see that Dolgon is puzzled, Zu Dashou asked forward.

Among the generals who reported good news but not bad news, Zu Dashou's question made Dolgon's eyes light up, he looked at Zu Dashou and nodded slightly, "This king, this is exactly what I mean!" Or, he said solemnly, "Generals, this king has decided that whether this rumor is true or not, this king will find out the truth!" ”

Seeing that Dorgon had made up his mind, Hodor took the initiative to ask for help, and replied, "Prince, let the last general go and find out!" ”

Zu Dashou was also unbearable at this time, because he had eaten a lot of bones in Beijing, and the last time he led his troops to chase and kill the defenders of Ningyang, he felt in his heart that maybe it was easier to find the 50,000 Ming troops than to gnaw at the Ming army in Beijing, at least the probability of dying in battle was not so high, it was really not good, so he said that he couldn't find it.

Thinking like this, Zu Dashou also asked for his life, "Prince, the last general has chased and killed the Ming army, and the last general is willing to share the worries for the prince!" ”

Dolgon's eyes wandered back and forth between Hodo and Zu Dashou a few times, and he was weighing in his heart who to send.

After a while, Dolgon said, "Let's go with General Huodo, the situation in Liaodong, General Huo is more familiar, and the situation in Beijing, General Zu is more familiar, this king has to rely on General Zu's help to attack Beijing!" ”

Dolgon has decided, and of course there is nothing to change.

"The last general obeys!" Hodo clenched his fists in response.

When Zu Dashou heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he quickly figured it out, although Beijing is difficult to achieve, but once Beijing is captured, this military merit is much better than finding a big man! What's more, there are so many treasures in this Beijing city, even if you can't make military achievements, it's enough to make money by grabbing a few treasures.

Thinking like this, and as Dolgon stared and waited for an answer, Zu Dashou stepped forward and said, "The last general is grateful!" ”

"Good!" Dolgon said with a smile, "Without further ado, while the sky is not yet dawn and the Ming army has not paid attention, General Huo will immediately go on the road, find out the situation of Qinglong I and Shengjing this morning, and fly pigeons to pass the book to this king at any time, so that this king can be steadfast and concentrate on attacking the city!" ”

"The last general will not fail in his mission! You two, immediately send fifty elite soldiers to follow the general on the road! After thanking Dolgon, Hodo turned to the two guards beside him and ordered!

"General Huo, this time to find someone, you don't have to take the road of Shanhaiguan, because we have 100,000 troops left behind in Shanhaiguan, Qinglong will not take the risk of breaking through, this king wants you to bypass Shanhaiguan, you have few people and good skills, you can take a small road to find it, maybe you will gain something!" Dorgon suddenly suggested.

When Huo Duo heard this, he thought for a moment and nodded, "Thank you Prince for your order, just according to what the prince said, I will take someone to take a detour back!" ”

Huo Duo led fifty Qing soldiers on the road, first, to find out the whereabouts of Zhu Qing and the 50,000 Ming army, so as not to suffer a surprise attack on the Qing army; Second, we must rush back to Shengjing as soon as possible and find out the rumors in Shengjing!

However, they never expected that this was not a rumor! But it's true! The rumors that the Killing Wind Pai Sai Shi Qian and others went out of the city for a walk are well-founded. Because when the Qing army was attacking Beijing, a carrier pigeon flying from the direction of Liaodong brought great news to Beijing.

After Zhu Qing landed from the "Qinglong", he released a red-crowned carrier pigeon! This carrier pigeon carried the news of Jinyiwei's victory in Shengjing, and Zhu Qing asked Beijing to hold on a little longer, because he and the two important hostages of the Qing court were already on their way back to Beijing!

After receiving Zhu Qing's flying pigeon message, the generals such as Kill Feng were extremely excited, and the plan to walk the rumors came into being. Killing Feng and others felt that it was impossible for the rumors to stop the Qing army's attack, but they could greatly affect the Qing army's will to fight, weaken the Qing army's combat effectiveness, and buy more time for delaying the Qing army's breakthrough and waiting for Zhu Qing's arrival. And the best person to carry out this task is the time of the drum flea competition.

When Sai Shi moved back to the city to report to Killwind about Dorgon's killing of chickens and monkeys, Killwind knew that his attack had begun to ferment.

However, he never expected that this rumor forced Dolgon to send elite soldiers to find Zhu Qing's whereabouts, and Zhu Qing, who also chose to take a detour instead of Shanhaiguan, was about to face a huge test, perhaps, all plans and hopes would be in vain on the eve of arriving in Beijing!
