"Hey, it's a dangerous move!"

Azig has a complicated heart, he is three brothers with Duoduo and Dorgon, all born to Nurhachi's favorite concubine Abahai, he is the eldest, and Duoduo is the youngest.

When Huang Taiji was there, he tried his best to provoke the relationship between the three brothers, Dolgon and Duoduo always showed that they were twisted into a rope, while Azig showed that there was an estrangement between the two, not that he really had an opinion on the two brothers, but to show Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji took Azig's position as the banner lord at that time and gave it to Dolgon, and Azig hated Dolgon to the core, but as soon as Huang Taiji died, Azig immediately worked with Duoduo to persuade Dorgon to become emperor.

It is enough to prove that the three Azig brothers acted in a good show back then, and deceived Huang Taiji, a cunning politician.

Azig showed discord with the two brothers, and Huang Taiji was not worried that the three brothers would be twisted into a rope and would not suppress them too much, while Duoduo and Dolgon showed intimacy, which made Huang Taiji jealous and did not dare to target the two brothers too much.

I have to say that the three brothers Azig, Dolgon and Duoduo are scheming and outstanding among the Manchu princes, and Dolgon can take power precisely because of strategy, not strength, in terms of strength, he is not as good as Haoge, the eldest son of Huang Taiji.

But this time Dorgon made a risky move.

Duoduo was defeated in Yangzhou and lost 30,000 Eight Banners, of which the Han Eight Banners and the Meng Eight Banners were not enough, but the soldiers of the Eight Banners were also more than 5,000, and the impact was too great at this time.

Since Nurhachi raised his army, although he looked at the infinite scenery and looked like he had won a hundred battles, the continuous conquest was really an unbearable burden for this small nation.

After entering the customs, it is now in the mouth of the Eight Banners. There are only 50,000 people in the Eight Banners, and even if you add the coats in the Eight Banners, the total number of people is only 200,000. The so-called 200,000 entered the customs from the dragon.

Of the 50,000 Ding, 5,000 were lost at one time. How could this be endured, the major Baylors, princes, and banner owners in the Eight Banners had reasons to oppose Duoduo.

Azig knew that he and Dorgon were leading the army, which represented Dorgon's strength, and that the more battles they won, the greater Dolgon's power, and the more battles they lost, the greater the pressure on Dorgon.

You must know from the rise of the Eight Banners. Whoever can lead the troops into the customs will grab more things and the more things they will get, the more things they will distribute, and the stronger their power will be.

Therefore, Dolgon was already under great pressure to let his two brothers lead the army, and who knew that Dorgon was defeated, so Dorgon had to make a risky move.

Since Duoduo had lost 30,000 Eight Banner soldiers, it was necessary to achieve a glorious enough victory for so long. In this way, Duoduo's position in the Eight Banners can be retained, and Dorgon's power can be stabilized.

So Dolgon asked Duoduo to mobilize the Ming army and attack Yangzhou again. Cut off the way for the Ming army to return to Nanjing, and then ordered Azig to capture Nanjing from west to east, along the Yangtze River.

Only by capturing the city of Nanjing can it be enough to preserve Duoduo's victory, and the greater the role Duoduo plays in this process, the more power he can have in the aftermath.

However, for Duoduo to intercept the Ming army, he must face a series of huge dangers, such as the possibility of being attacked by the Ming army from the north and south, such as being deeply encircled. For example, they had to fight alone, etc., but the three brothers had no choice at this time.

Therefore, Azig ignored the fatigue of the sergeants. With the war-weariness on the rise, the army was forcibly left in Jiujiang City. If it weren't for Duoduo's first defeat in Yangzhou, Azig's army would have been transferred back to the north to recuperate.

But to keep these soldiers here, the pressure on Azig is also very high, after all, the Eight Banners are not a rope. In the Nurhachi era, the Eight Banners were often based on the flag, whether it was military or political or expedition, they often acted together with their respective banners, and at that time it could be said that the Eight Banners were just eight relatively independent tribes.

In the era of Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji tried his best to build the Eight Banners into a dynasty army, and the eight banners were dispatched together, and then led by a commander, and finally divided the spoils according to the merits, but the power composition of the Eight Banners, Huang Taiji has not been able to change, and the power of the Eight Banners is still in the hands of each flag owner and prince.

Therefore, Azig forced the army to help Dordor consolidate his power, and the opposition from his subordinates was actually very strong, and he had to take a lot of pressure and take a lot of risks.

After everyone saw Duoduo's corpse this time, many commanders and officers found various excuses to avoid the war and hoped to go back to rest, and I have to say that there are also reasons for such a power struggle.

Therefore, Azig thought of the method of begging for the corpse, in order to block the mouth of Ezhen and Baylor in the army, if the Ming army refused to give Prince Yu's body, this kind of shame and shame would be the entire Eight Banners, and they would lose all excuses.

But is it possible for the Ming army to return Duoduo's corpse, Azig will never believe that the Ming army has this kind of belly, how many years have finally killed a prince of the Manchu Dynasty, how can they be willing to return it, they will definitely make a full deal of this.

"Hey, this old man can't be the master, I have to let my family decide! You'll be here in three days. ”

Song Kun would never agree to return Duoduo's body to the Qing army, but he would never let go of the opportunity to delay time, so he told the Qing army envoy below that he would come back in three days.

Of course, the envoy of the Qing army will definitely not be fooled: "Tomorrow, do more tomorrow!" ”

After saying that, he patted the horse and left, and he no longer refused to bargain with Song Kun here, the envoy was naturally Azig's henchman, knowing that the master wanted to attack the city immediately.

Song Kun knew that his delaying tactic had failed, but he was a little unwilling, if there were three days, Yangzhou would be able to come back with more reinforcements, and if Yangzhou could transfer back 50,000 people, who would be afraid of these Tartars.

So Song Kun sent someone back to deliver the news to Yang Chao, and he told Yang Chao that the Tartars begged for the corpse and would attack the city tomorrow.

Song Kun meant that he could only delay until tomorrow, but after Yang Chao heard it, he immediately said yes, why not give it.

Duoduo's corpse is just that, Yang Chao doesn't care too much, although it can be used to make a fuss, but he has also done what should be done.

The officials saw it, the nobles saw it, and the people saw it, and it was useless to keep this corpse in their hands.

But return it to the Qing army. Let the Qing army see the death of their prince, Yang Chao does not believe that this will not hit the morale of the Qing army.

Early the next morning. The envoy of the Qing army came.

"The Ming army in the city, quickly return the body of my Prince Yu of the Great Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, the army will attack the city immediately! ”

The messenger looked menacing.

Song Kun looked dissatisfied: "Listen to the Tartars under the city, my family is kind-hearted, and Duoduo's corpse is returned to you, take it!" ”

With that, the body of Duoduo was thrown from the city.

Song Kun really didn't want to return this corpse, what a symbol this is, a Eight Banner Banner Lord, a prince. It's not easy to kill, how can you return it.

The envoy under the city was stunned, he didn't expect the Ming army to be willing to return Duoduo's body, he came to negotiate just a formality, it was for other Ezhen and Baylor to see, but the Ming army actually handed it over, which made him not know what to do.

But he couldn't ignore it, so he carefully put Duoduo's corpse on his horse and slowly humped it back.

There was silence among the Qing troops.

"Since the Ming army is trustworthy, I am willing to return the body of my Prince Yu of the Qing Dynasty. I, the Qing soldiers, should also keep their promises. ”

There are officers who have such an opinion.

At least half of the officers agreed.

Azig was embarrassed, but he didn't expect the Ming army to give him such a big problem and want to return his brother's body. He also felt relieved, seeing his brother's death, he felt sad again, the sting in his heart was not something that ordinary people could understand, at this time let him give up avenging his brother, ordinary people really couldn't do it, but Azig was a commander, a politician, not an ordinary person.

He ordered the best coffin to be found and Dordor to be buried. Intended to be brought back to Beijing in cremation.

Then he began to discuss frequently with the senior generals, and he himself hated to personally lead his troops to Nanjing. But there are too many people who oppose it below, whether he uses the excuse of avenging the prince of the Qing Dynasty. still used the capture of Nanjing and let everyone loot for ten days as bait, and the people below refused to agree to live or die one by one.

It shows that the army returned Duoduo's body in faith, and the Qing Dynasty should also keep its word and give up attacking the city.

It is said that after the army entered the customs, it has been fighting hard, from Beijing to Shanxi, from Shanxi to Shaanxi, from Shaanxi to Henan, from Henan to Huguang, from Huguang to Jiujiang, from Jiujiang to Nanjing, all the way to hundreds of battles, soldiers and soldiers were wounded and killed in more than 10,000 battles, and they were already sleepy, and even the horses were already thin and weak, and they could not be driven.

Azig sighed in his heart: "Yang Chao is really my confidant in the Qing Dynasty, not only brave but also strategic. If the emperor of the Ming Kingdom had used him earlier, why would he have died. But if this person is not removed, he will become a big trouble for my Daqing henchmen, but it is ridiculous that this group of Ezhen and Baylor will be captured by Yang Chao in the future! ”

Unexpectedly, Yang Chao actually returned Duoduo's corpse, which made Azig's last effort to mobilize the army's spirit come to naught, and also made Azig believe that this person was brave and strategic, and really attached importance to such a character.

"That's it! The king was also deeply tired, and immediately asked for his order to return to Beijing to recuperate. Ladies and gentlemen, Baelor is waiting for a moment. ”

Azig finally made this difficult decision.

Those Ezhen and Baylor showed sadness on their faces, but they laughed in their hearts.

The three Dolgon brothers, this time they went south to control the power, but so what, Duoduo was not only defeated, but also killed in battle, and these three brothers will definitely fail when they go back this time, and their arrogance will be severely suppressed in the future.

For Dolgon's desire to emulate Huang Taiji and continue to weaken the rights of the banner owners, there are more people in the Eight Banners who are dissatisfied with the three brothers, not only in the Hauge family, but all over the Eight Banners.

"However, our army can not attack, but Nanjing must not be attacked!"

Azig agreed to the rest of the Eight Banners, but still insisted on fighting Nanjing.

These Ezhen and Baylor did not object this time, because they believed that as long as their elite troops did not move, there would be no chance to take the city of Nanjing with the surrendered troops collected by Azig, and if they could not defeat the city of Nanjing, the Dorgon brothers and others would definitely not be as arrogant as before.

"Since everyone Ezhen and Baylor agree, then order the water camp to attack Nanjing!"

When Ezhen and Baylor heard this, they were a little surprised, but they didn't expect Azig to send a navy. (To be continued)
