Chapter 331: The Tree Falls and Scatters
Luo Jian and Zuo Maodi's chess is still continuing, and the big dragon that Zuo Maodi escaped just now is not out of danger, and is still rushing left and right in the corner.
"Governor, no, your net doesn't seem to be secret, but there is nowhere to escape! By the way, Dadu, you just said that the Manchu Emperor fled to Mongolia, I think it is possible, and his Empress Dowager Bulbutai is a Mongol, and I heard that this Empress Dowager is quite bold, if they know that the Northeast has become a Jedi, it is not impossible to flee to Mongolia. ”
Zuo Maodi put together the chess pieces, indicating that he had admitted defeat, and then raised his head and said to Luo Jian.
Listening to Zuo Maodi talk about the Empress Dowager of Burbutai, Luo Jian remembered the famous "Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang" in history, and the history of later generations praised her very much, but Luo Jian came to this time and space for a few years, but he did not hear any news about her, which made Luo Jian almost forget that there was also this "celebrity" in the same era.
As for the legend of the little emperor of Shunzhi who later became a monk, Luo Jian did not have a good impression of him, although he later fell in love with Concubine Dong E, and many people in later generations wrote a lot of scripts based on this, but these scripts seem to have intentionally or unintentionally ignored one thing, that is, after the death of Concubine Dong E, Emperor Shunzhi let more than a dozen palace maids be martyred for him, which was the last and most tragic funeral event in Chinese history, even if it was only this one thing, it also made Luo Jian have no good impression of this monk emperor.
"Governor Dadu, oh, Xinghua, if Bulbutai flees to Mongolia with the little emperor, with his influence on Mongolia, I am afraid that the Nanjing government will still have some trouble in the future!" Seeing Luo Jian in deep thought, Zuo Maodi thought that he was worried that the events that had brought countless troubles to the Ming Dynasty after the Northern Yuan fled from Beijing in the early years of the Ming Dynasty would be repeated.
"Trouble? Hehe, I thought of something else. Mr. Zuo, you don't have to worry about this. We have prepared a weapon of mass destruction for the Mongols. In the future, these peoples on horseback may never again cause trouble to the Central Plains. Luo Jian said with a smile.
"The Big Killer? Is the Governor going to destroy his people? Zuo Maodi asked in surprise.
"Hehe, Mr. Zuo, you are wrong, it is not the policy of the Nanjing government to kill and stop killing, I also said a few days ago that including the Mongols, they all belong to the same Chinese nation, and of course the Nanjing government will not drive them all out." Luo Jian saw that Zuo Maodi was biased. Only then did the Nanjing government's policy be repeated.
"Then what do you mean by Xinghua's big killing weapon?" Zuo Maodi asked even more surprised.
"Mr. Zuo, did you see the coat I was wearing earlier? This coat is spun from wool, and when I return to Nanjing, I will give Mr. Zuo one. Nanjing's wool spinning machine can now handle wool well, and now Nanjing's wool is in short supply. "The evenings in Beijing in March are still a little cool, and Luo Jian usually wears an overcoat.
"Xinghua, you can make it clear, my brain can't turn around." Zuo Maodi saw Luo Jian talking about irrelevant things, and said a little anxiously.
"Mr. Zuo, do you think it's the Mongols who raise war horses that are difficult to deal with. Or are the sheep raising Mongols difficult to deal with? Luo Jian said with a smile.
"Got it, high! Hing wah. This trick is really high. In this way, even if the little emperor fled to Mongolia, it would not be able to become a climate. Zuo Maodi finally understood and said happily.
"Let's go, Mr. Zuo, let's go see how Xiao Wang and they are ready." Luo Jian stood up and greeted Zuo Maodi, and the two got up and walked towards the command tent of the Seventh Division.
The two walked into the command tent, Wang Qiang was looking at a piece of information, and when he saw Luo Jian and the two coming in, Wang Qiang excitedly raised the paper in his hand and said to Luo Jian: "Chief, good news!" Dorgon is dead! ”
"What? Is Dorgon dead? Luo Jian asked in surprise.
In the history of another time and space, Dolgon would not fall off his horse until the end of this year and fall to his death, and there are many speculations about the cause of Dorgon's death in later generations.
Some say that he was framed to death on the grounds that Dorgon had broken his leg and died within two days of taking the pills, which is obviously unconscionable.
It is also said that Dolgon was covered in injuries due to his youth, and his body was full of old diseases, and he died of a recurrence of old injuries caused by a fall.
Luo Jian prefers the latter statement, because Dorgon, as the regent of the emperor's uncle who has been in power for a while, has no less defensive measures than the emperor, and even if the imperial doctor wants to drug him, I am afraid it will be difficult to pass the examination.
But hearing the news of Dolgon's death today, Luo Jian was a little surprised.
After receiving the information from Wang Qiang, Luo Jian looked at it carefully, the information did not explain the cause of Dolgon's death in detail, and Neiying himself did not have any exact news about Dolgon, but only heard some news from the mouths of the people in the palace of Dolgon, so he was sure that Dolgon was dead.
According to the intelligence, the little emperor of Shunzhi has fled the capital, because the little emperor has not been to the court for several days, and the ministers are not allowed to visit the palace, which is obviously unreasonable.
Now the city of Beijing is full of Duoduo alone giving orders, but all of Duoduo's energy is focused on the defense of the city, and the court is now no longer in charge, and the ministers are no longer in the court.
Another regent, Zilharang, was surrounded by a large number of soldiers in front of his palace, and it seemed that the regent had been placed under house arrest.
The latter two pieces of news seem to have become corroboration of the first two news, and Luo Jian estimated that most of the intelligence analysis was correct.
"Xiao Wang, what are you going to do?" Luo Jian asked Wang Qiang.
"Of course, I want to make good use of these two news, I'm going to make them fall apart! Chief, do you have any instructions? Wang Qiang said with a smile.
"I said I don't care about you, you just go and arrange it." Luo Jian also said with a smile.
After receiving this information, the Seventh Division was about to start its offensive against Zhangjiawan and stopped, and the troops began to dig trenches at the front to confront the Qing soldiers, and soon several large iron horns stretched out from the trenches and shouted at the Qing soldiers' defensive positions.
It seems that Wang Qiang wants to learn the practice of not being outside Cangzhou City, and he wants to use this news to completely disintegrate the fighting spirit of the Qing soldiers.
"Dolgon is dead, the little Tartar emperor has run away, brothers of the Han army, don't die for them anymore! Surrender! The Wehrmacht treats prisoners preferentially! ”
A few gunshots began to answer the Wehrmacht's shouts, but the bullets did not know where they had flown and did not hit the tin horn.
The horn shouted for a long time. However, not a single Qing soldier has escaped. It seems that the Qing soldiers in Beijing are still a little different from the Qing soldiers outside Cangzhou.
Shouting for an afternoon had no effect. Wang Qiang was a little impatient, and was about to order the troops to start attacking early the next morning, but was persuaded by Ma Qianjun, the deputy division commander.
"Division commander, we have been shouting outside Cangzhou City for so long before it has taken effect, and you want the Qing soldiers to surrender in just one afternoon?" Ma Qianjun said with a smile.
Wang Qiang also calmed down, waved his hand and said, "Continue to shout tomorrow!" ”
In fact, not long after the Seventh Division shouted, the news was reported to Kong Youde, who was stationed in Tongzhou.
Let Kong Youde hold the gate of the Manchu retreat to the north in Tongzhou, which was arranged by Dolgon's full trust in Kong Youde. Of course, Kong Youde also knew this, so he grasped the defense in Tongzhou very tightly, and all kinds of fortifications were also extremely complete.
The deputy commander reported the content of the Seventh Division's shouting to Kong Youde, Kong Youde was taken aback, but his face did not change at all, and he said to the deputy commander: "This is a common trick of the National Defense Force, you go to restrain the troops, don't let the troops be deceived!" ”
The deputy commander responded, but Kong Youde's heart was turbulent.
He was well aware of all the tactics of the Wehrmacht, and he also knew very well about the Wehrmacht's practice of disintegrating the Qing troops outside Cangzhou. He knew that the Wehrmacht's propaganda offensive was very powerful. It often turns out that the Qing soldiers, especially the Han army, have no fighting spirit.
But he also knew that the Wehrmacht's propaganda was usually based on facts, and had not fabricated rumors, let alone fabricated the news of Dorgon's death, if it was a rumor, as long as the regent came to inspect the troops, it would be self-defeating, and it would appear that the Wehrmacht was stingy.
In other words, most of the Wehrmacht's shouts are true? Thinking of this, Kong Youde felt agitated in his heart, if it was true that the little emperor had fled, and Dolgon had died, then what was he still guarding in Tongzhou?
Kong Youde beckoned to a pro-soldier and muttered in his ear for a while, and the pro-soldier quickly rode out of Tongzhou City and ran towards the capital. Tongzhou is only more than 30 miles away from the capital, and there is no problem in running back and forth in a day.
Although Luo Jian did not interfere with Wang Qiang's command, he still had this information sent to the other divisions, and at the same time informed them of Wang Qiang's actions.
Several divisions that were about to prepare for the siege slowed down, and shouting to several walls began.
Soon the news spread in the capital, and even Turai, who was guarding the Guangqu Gate, heard it, and this news made Turai, who was a Manchurian, also muttered in his heart.
Dordor rode on horseback and carried more than 200 guards along the city walls to check the guards.
Dordo was in a very bad mood, the queen mother fled to Mongolia with the little emperor He knew, the queen mother and Dolgon, Sonny discussed the night, Dolgon asked to escort the little emperor out of the city with 20,000 cavalry, but he refused, Dolgon had no choice but to let Azig lead the army.
Duoduo thought very well at the time, he thought that the empress dowager and the little emperor were gone, and he and his eldest brother were no longer hindered in the capital, but they could defend the city with peace of mind, once they held the city of Beijing and repelled the national defense army, he could no longer pay attention to the little emperor who fled and help his eldest brother ascend to the throne.
Thinking of his eldest brother, the regent Dorgon, Dodor felt another pain in his heart.
Duoduo thought that he had not liked Emperor Taiji since he was a child, and he had done a lot of rebellious things, and he did not work against his eldest brother Dorgon. But Dolgon loved his little brother very much, not only did he not care, but after entering the customs, he gave him a heavy responsibility, and let him lead a large army to conquer the south.
At that time, although Duoduo was high-spirited and domineering outside, he always thought that there was a big backer in the court for him to rely on, but now that the backer is gone, everything can only rely on himself.
Hearing the imperial doctor say that the eldest brother was tired to death, Duoduo began to hate in his heart, he hated the national defense army, hated the Grand Governor, if it were not for them, the Qing Dynasty would have ruled the world long ago, and the eldest brother would certainly not die of exhaustion.
When he thought of this, Dodor was only interested in going out of the city to defeat the Wehrmacht, and it was best to catch the Grand Governor and pay his respects before the spirit of his eldest brother. Filled with hatred, Dorgon had already thrown Dorgon's deathbed words out of the clouds.
The first few soldiers whispered together, but they didn't see Duoduo coming, but Duoduo heard the word "regent" from their words, and his anger suddenly burst out uncontrollably.
"Bring a few of them here!" Duoduo commanded the guards coldly.
"What are you talking about the regent?" Dodor shouted at a few of the soldiers kneeling in front of their horses.
"Lord Qiqi, the little one doesn't dare to say it!" Several of the soldiers bowed their heads, and one replied.
"Say!" Duoduo's voice was shivering.
"The Wehrmacht outside the city is shouting that the Lord Regent has—" the soldier said cautiously, bowing his head.
"Bold! The regent is just in poor health, and he is just recuperating in the palace, and it is really an unforgivable sin for you to dare to make such a rebellious statement! Whoever comes, they're all cut down! Dodor said coldly. (To be continued.) )
