Dolgon got up slowly, looked around everyone with burning eyes, and said sharply: "I am determined to pour the troops of the Qing Dynasty to fight to the death with Wang Pu, this victory will be the Qing Dynasty will be unification without suspense, if you don't win, you will retreat outside the customs to recuperate, and then map the Central Plains later, what do you think?" ”

Since Dolgon became the regent of Jiannu, he has wantonly rejected dissidents, many dissidents who disobey him have been beaten and oppressed, and many cronies who obey him have been reused.

As Dolgon's voice fell, cronies such as Abatai and Sakhalian rose up to echo him, shouting that they would fight the Ming army to the death.

The reaction of the Eight Banners of Jiannu was expected by Dolgon, who was worried about the attitude of the Mongols.

Dolgon slowly turned his head sideways, and his cold gaze swept over the faces of the Mongol princes of Korqin, Khalkha, and Chahar, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?" ”

Although the Mongolian tribes were nominally conquered by Huang Taiji, in fact, it was not Huang Taiji but Dolgon who really led the troops to conquer the Mongolian steppe, so the Mongols were far more afraid of Dolgon than Huang Taiji, and they did not have much fear of the Huang Taiji Mongols, but for Dolgon, the Mongols were in awe from the bottom of their hearts.

As soon as Dolgon's voice fell, Manzhu Xili, the prince of Darhan Baturu of the Korqin Division, hurriedly responded: "The minions and the Horqin warriors of the Horqin Department swear to follow their masters to the death. ”

Tsahan, Banktu, and Sogar also expressed their support for Dorgon's decision.

The most powerful Korqin Fourth Division had already expressed its position, and Prince Tushetu was not present, and the remaining Khalkhar and Chahar Prince Ezhe could not support it alone, so they had to agree with Dolgon's decision.

"Very well, since everyone has no opinion, then this matter is decided." Dolgon said in a deep voice, "After the sun rises tomorrow, the Eight Banners and the Mongolian tribes will launch an all-out attack on Jining City from four directions. ”

Banktu said proudly: "Please rest assured, the minions will definitely attack the city to the death, and will not retreat." ”

"Well, I believe in your loyalty, but ......"

Dolgon said this, the topic finally cut to the point, and said in a condensed voice, "There is an allusion in the history of the Han people called breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, about a thousand years ago, there was a Chu man named Xiang Yu with a weak Chu army to fight against the powerful Qin army, in order to strengthen the determination of the soldiers under his command, Xiang Yu led the troops to cross the river, scuttled the boat, and smashed the cooking pot, they forced themselves into a desperate situation, not to defeat the Qin army...... Just die! ”

Azig couldn't help but ask, "What happened in the end?" ”

"In the end, Xiang Yu won, and the Qin army was defeated." In order to strengthen the determination of the Eight Banners and the Mongolian tribes to fight to the death, I decided to drive all the horses in the army to Dongpingzhou, if I can't defeat the Ming army in Jining City, I will never go back alive!" ”

"What?"

"What?"

"Drive the war horse to Dongpingzhou?"

"Why is that?"

Several Mongolian princes looked at each other, and Abatai, Sakhalian and other Jiannu nobles were also confused.

Dolgon frowned and said coldly, "Didn't I say it, this is called a ruined boat!" If you win the battle of Jining, you can go back to Dongpingzhou to find the war horse, if you lose the battle of Jining...... Then you just wait to become the prey of the Ming army, if you lose your war horse, whether it is a Jurchen or a Mongol, you can't escape the pursuit of the Ming cavalry! ”

Several Mongolian princes gasped one after another, but the warlike Jiannu nobles showed crazy expressions.

"We have no way back!" Dolgon waved his fist viciously and said sharply, "There is only one way to survive in front of us now, and that is to break Jining and kill all the Nanming barbarians in the city!" Whoever doesn't have the guts to stand up now, I ...... Forgive him for his innocence! ”

Looking at Dolgon's murderous eyes, no one dared to stand up.

Are you kidding, looking at Dorgon's expression as if he can forgive people? Whoever dares to stand up and question his decision will be beheaded immediately!

"Okay." "I'm glad that everyone has the determination to fight the Ming army to the death, Dordor. ”

Duoduo hurriedly stepped forward and responded, "Brother is here." ”

Dolgon said: "You took the 10,000 elite soldiers of the white flag to drive all the horses to Dongping Prefecture overnight, remember, after driving the war horses to Dongpingzhou, they will return to Jining immediately, this battle is related to the fate of the Qing Kingdom and the Manchus, and your 10,000 white flag iron cavalry must not stay out of the matter, do you hear clearly?" ”

Dodor replied, "Wow! ”

With that, Dodor turned and strode away.

"Alright." Dolgon waved his hand and said loudly, "Let's all go back to our accounts and get ready to go." ”

The crowd retreated, but Dodor suddenly went and returned.

Seeing Duoduo open the tent and enter, Dolgon's face suddenly showed a smile of relief, whether it is courage, strategy or resourcefulness, Duoduo can be called a masterpiece among the Jurchens, Dolgon has never seen such an outstanding Juroid as Duoduo, even if it is his father and brother Nuer Hachi and Huang Taiji, at Duoduo's age, he is far less outstanding than Duoduo.

Leave the future of the Great Qing Kingdom to Duoduo, and Dolgon can rest assured.

"Fifteenth brother, I knew that you would definitely go and return." Dolgon smiled slightly and said, "Ask, while the sky is not yet dawn, while there is still time, if you have any questions, just ask, if you miss tonight, you and my brother will only have no chance to talk to each other, alas......"

By the end, there was a hint of sadness in Dolgon's tone.

Duoduo even heard the resolute meaning from Dorgon's tone, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Brother Fourteen, what are you talking about? ”

Waving his hand, Dolgon said in a heavy tone: "Fifteenth brother, time is really running out, I will make a long story short, let me tell you the truth, the Ming army sent by Wang Pu has already captured Gugu, and the soldiers are directed at Yanjing, I only left two thousand Eight Banner soldiers in Yanjing, and I can't hold it no matter what, so ...... We're dead. ”

"This little brother knows." Duoduo said in a condensed voice, "The little brother already guessed it just now. ”

Dorgon nodded, and continued, "But there's something you must not have guessed. ”

"What's the matter?" ”

"Horse plague!" Dolgon said in a deep voice, "There has been an outbreak of horse plague in the barracks!" In less than three days, this horse plague will sweep through the entire military camp, and no war horse will be spared, fifteenth brother, do you know what this means? Once this news is leaked, the morale of the Eight Banners Army and the Mongol Army will immediately collapse, and the army of more than 100,000 will collapse without a fight......"

"What? Horse plague!? Hearing this, Duoduo gasped and hissed, "How can this be? Why is this happening? ”

"Although I have executed all those who know the truth, even Prince Tushetu has been secretly executed by me......," Dolgon continued, "but in a few days, the soldiers of the Eight Banners and the Mongols will eventually know the truth, and the war horses were driven to Dongpingzhou just to buy time, so ...... My time is running out! ”

Duoduo took a deep breath and said in a condensed voice: "So the fourteenth brother wants to storm Jining before the Eight Banners army and the Mongol army are disheartened, and do the final desperate game?" If you can get lucky enough to take Jining, there is still a lot to do, if you can't beat it, the result will not be worse than now, right? ”

"No, it's not just for that." Dolgon waved his hand, a trace of inexplicable cruelty flashed in his eyes, and then said, "I am determined to attack Jining, but also to bury all the hundreds of thousands of Mongols under the city of Jining!" ”

Duoduo was taken aback when he heard this, and said in a lost voice: "What? ”

Although Duoduo is talented, he is still young after all, and he is not as old and spicy as Dolgon in politics, or not as vicious as Dolgon, so he didn't expect to go up to this level, but as soon as Dolgon finished speaking, Duoduo was already overwhelmed, and then Dolgon's words said: "Brother Fourteen is saying that after the Battle of Jining, the Mongols will betray the Qing Dynasty?" ”

Dolgon stretched out his hand to caress Duoduo's shoulder, and said gloomily: "Fifteenth brother, recognize the reality, our Qing Dynasty has suffered a heavy blow, it is a matter of time before the Mongols betray the Qing Dynasty, and more seriously, Wang Pu and Daming will never let us Jurchens go, since the first Khan raised his army, we Jurchens have killed too many Han people, and the hatred between the two ethnic groups is too deep and too deep...... In the future, Wang Pu may let go of the Mongols, but he will never let go of any Jurchen, old and young, women and children! ”

Duoduo said in a condensed voice: "Fourteenth brother, we Jurchens will not be restrained. ”

"Of course." Dolgon said in a deep voice, "So I want to bury these hundreds of thousands of Mongols under the city of Jining, only in this way will the Mongols on the grassland lose their vitality, and one day in the future, when our Jurchens can't stand in Liaodong, you can also take your people deep into the desert, the Han people may occupy the entire Liaodong, but it is impossible to occupy the entire desert, and the desert will be the last place for our Jurchens." ”

Duoduo said miserably: "Fourteenth brother, in terms of prestige and ability, the younger brother is far inferior to you, it is better for you to withdraw to Liaodong with 10,000 elite soldiers of the white flag, and the battle of Jining will be handed over to the younger brother, the younger brother dare not say anything else, but he will never disgrace his ancestors, and he will definitely fight with the barbarians of Nanming until the last moment......"

"Fifteenth brother, don't be stupid." Dolgon shook his head lightly and said, "It is precisely because of my prestige and seniority that I am able to suppress the soldiers of the Eight Banners and the Mongols who are about to move. ”

Duoduo hurriedly said: "But ......"

"Don't." Dolgon said abruptly, "Fifteenth brother, hurry up, don't forget to bring all the Eight Banners soldiers who stayed in Dongpingzhou and Liaocheng, if Yanjing City has not fallen, bring the two thousand athletes in Yanjing City with you, don't hesitate and don't have any luck, immediately go back to Liaodong through Shanhaiguan......

Duoduo said miserably: "Fourteenth brother ......"

"And ......," Dolgon thought for a while, and then said, "After driving the hundreds of thousands of war horses in the army to Dongpingzhou, they will all be killed, and remember that they must all be killed, and then rush to Liaocheng on foot, I have left more than 6,000 war horses in Liaocheng, and every two soldiers can almost get a mount, and it should not be a problem to get rid of the pursuit of the Ming army." ”

Duoduo fell to his knees and wept silently: "Brother Fourteen ......"

Dolgon helped Duoduo up with a solemn expression, and said solemnly: "Old fifteen, the future of the Jurchens depends on you. ”

■■■

Jining, Governor Xingyuan.

A Mongolian with a big tie was escorted into the lobby, and when he saw Wang Pu sitting in the hall, the Mongolian suddenly struggled violently, and said a big call in Mongolian, Wang Pu couldn't help frowning, and turned his gaze to the scarface next to him, Scarface and the bearded horse thief who had been working on the grassland for a long time before joining the army, and could understand Mongolian.

Scarface hurriedly said: "Master Hou, this guy said that he came to see you on the order of the Mongolian Great Khan, hehe." ”

Wang Pu waved his hand and said, "Untie him." ”

Two officers and soldiers of the Central Army had already stepped forward to untie the Mongolian man.

Wang Pu asked, "What's your name?" ”

Scarface hurriedly translated it in Mongolian, and when the Mongolian man finished speaking, Scarface translated back: "This guy said that his name is Kuluwen, and he is the captain of the squire of the birdman Ezhe." ”

The Mongol said a few more words.

Scarface's face immediately changed when he heard this, and then said: "Master Hou, this guy said that Jiannu will attack the city after dawn." ”

"What, Jiannu is going to attack the city?" Wang Pu was a little incredulous, "What is Dolgon crazy about?" If you don't run for your life, you still want to be trapped and fighting? ”

Scarface exchanged a few words with Kuluwen in Mongolian, and said to Wang Pu: "Master Hou, this guy also said that Dolgon has sent his younger brother Duoduo to lead troops to drive all the hundreds of thousands of war horses in the army to Dongping Prefecture, and he also said that he wants to learn what Xiang Yu to break and sink what boat, and to fight to the death with my Ming Central Army." ”

"That's kind of interesting." Liu Ru on the side suddenly said, "It seems that the horse plague has broken out, and Dolgon should want to hide the truth by driving the hundreds of thousands of war horses in the army to Dongpingzhou, because once the news of the outbreak of horse plague spreads, even if Jiannu can be in shock, the Mongols will definitely collapse, so Dolgon has to rush to attack the city, because no matter how much you hide it, this news will eventually spread, and there is not much time left for Dolgon." ”

Wang Pu nodded, and suddenly asked Scarface, "You just said that Dolgon sent his younger brother Duoduo to lead troops to drive more than 100,000 war horses to Dongpingzhou?" ”

Scarface asked Hu Luwen a few more words, and nodded affirmatively: "That's right, it's Duoduo, and he also brought more than 10,000 iron horsemen with white flags." ”

"And took away more than 10,000 iron horsemen with white flags?" Wang Pu's brows furrowed for a moment, and he said in a condensed voice, "If Dolgon really wants to break through the cauldron and fight a decisive battle with our Central Army, he should go all out, how can he let the most elite 10,000 White Flag Iron Cavalry leave?" Does Dorgon want to retain his strength? But his army of the Eight Banners has been wiped out, what is the use of leaving such a few cavalry? ”

Liu Ru on the side suddenly said: "Master Hou, the slave family has an intuition that Dolgon is probably arranging the aftermath by doing this. ”

"What did you say?" Wang Pu said, "Arrange the aftermath!?" ”
