Chapter Eighty-Nine: Shengjing's Change
At this time, outside the gate, there was a solemn atmosphere everywhere. Since last year, the army of the Ming court has gathered outside the Guan, Hong Chengchou led the governor of Jiliao, and was also in charge of the Xuanda army, and the prime minister fought against the Manchu Qing outside the Guan. Tang Tong, the general soldier of Datong, Ma Ke, the general soldier of Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Ningyuan, Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, Bai Guangen, the chief soldier of Jizhou, Wang Tingchen, the chief soldier of the former court guard, Cao Bianjiao, the chief soldier of Yutian, and Yao Xun, the chief soldier of Miyun, and other eight general army units arrived in Liaodong one after another, and they were menacing, and a big war was coming.
Under these circumstances, the Manchus intensified their efforts to investigate the spies of the Ming Dynasty. For a while, the Han people outside the Guanwai fell into a state of self-endangerment. When Nurhachi killed and slaughtered the Han people outside the Guanwai, dozens of heads once fell to the ground, and the white mountains and black water were actually soaked in bright red.
The situation did not improve until Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he changed Nurhachi's original intention of killing all the Han people and establishing a pure Manchu regime in Liaodong, and instead created the Eight Banners of the Han Army, isolated the Han people into the banner, and allowed the Han people to enter the court as officials, which gradually ended the tragedy of the massacre of the Han people outside the Guan. It's just that I didn't expect that because of Hong Chengchou's large-scale exit from the customs, the Han people outside the customs fell into the fate of being purged.
There is a great drought inside the Guan, and natural disasters have been going on for many years, and it is not much better outside the Guan. Since he got the news last year, Huang Taiji ordered the Eight Banners Banner Owners to gather people and horses to practice, but the supply of grain and grass has been quite unsmooth. If it weren't for the efforts of He Youling and others in the court to maintain it, and Zhangjiakou is located in the middle of nowhere, I am afraid that the Jinyi guards of the Ming court would have come to visit Fan and other Shanyou businessmen a long time ago.
Because of this, the Manchus intensified their raids on Koreans and Han people outside the Guanwai. Military materials such as grain, grass, and pig iron were requisitioned on a large scale to prepare for war. The whole of Liaodong seems to have become a powder keg, and there is a great tendency to trigger a trigger.
But at this time, Huang Taiji was quite absent-minded, and planned to take the opportunity to send troops as an opportunity to relieve a group of Eight Banner magnates from the military power and replace them with their own manpower, but they were recognized by the Eight Banner Banners headed by Dai Shan and Dolgon, and went to recruit and adjust the training of soldiers and horses, and put on a posture of fighting to the death for the country, and actually took the opportunity to throw Huang Taiji's orders aside. This also made Huang Taiji helpless.
And at this time. Guan Ju Palace's concubine Hai Lanzhu's condition is becoming more and more serious. Huang Taiji invited famous doctors. Even the eight families on the right side of the mountain invited a few Qihuang holy hands from the Guannei, but they were all helpless, just saying that according to today's condition, it is already a miracle that Concubine Chen can survive until the beginning of spring next year.
Huang Taiji couldn't help but feel like he was dying. The whole person became sluggish. What Eight Banners and the Great War of Liaodong have been left behind. All the state affairs were entrusted to Daishan and Dolgon, and he hid in the deep palace to accompany Hai Lanzhu every step of the way.
Some time ago, Dolgon led two white flag armies to tentatively attack Ningyuan. The Ming army was caught off guard, and the acting general Jin Guofeng and his two sons died on the battlefield, and the Qing army achieved a preliminary victory, and then retreated backwards, and did not attack Ningyuan with all his might, thus finding out the reality of the Ming army.
After this battle, Huang Taiji summoned Dolgon, and in desperation, entrusted him with the power of the commander of the Qing army, which made the three brothers Dolgon, Dordor, and Azig overjoyed.
Duoduo's face was full of smiles, but his eyes radiated a fierce light that was unique to a beast. "Because of a woman, the fourth child has become like this, how can the Great Qing Kingdom dominate Liaodong in his hands. Where is the courage to take back the military power of the Eight Banners earlier, when it is really time to fight with his life, who else can he rely on except our brothers? ”
In comparison, Azig, who was the king of Wuying County at the time, was very calm, without any expression on his face, but put down the mare's milk in his hand and looked at Dolgon, who had never spoken, "As long as we win this battle, many of the wall grasses in the Eight Banners will lean over, do we want to ......!" Azig made a gesture of hugging in his arms.
Dolgon shook the hem of his robe, stood up and walked around the hall twice, still shaking his head, "Those people tend to be inflammatory, and it is useless to attract subordinates, it is enough to build a good relationship on weekdays, and it is enough not to delay at critical moments, there is no need to attract the vigilance of that person at this juncture." The news in the palace will naturally come out, although the one who stays in the Guanju Palace all day, is not blind or deaf. During his reign, he cultivated a force that cannot be underestimated. ”
After returning to Guanwai after the Battle of Hebei, Dolgon's whole person became much more restrained and modest, and the character of the original pioneer Mang Bilu suddenly seemed to be covered with a scabbard, and even the wind in the Eight Banners was much better.
Speaking of this, Azig couldn't help but interject: "The day before yesterday, my Fujin entered the palace, but Yu'er came out with a news, and I haven't had time to tell you yet." It is said that in the night not long ago, the Guanju Palace was suddenly in chaos, and several imperial doctors were edicted to enter the palace late at night ......! “
Duoduo waved his hand in boredom, "What happened to Concubine Xu is Concubine Chen, right?" These days, where has it stopped! “
Azig glared at him, "In that case, what am I talking about?" It's just that this time is very different from the past, Yu'er once sent someone to investigate, but found that this time there were hundreds of mouths in the Guan Ju Palace, which was obviously hiding something. Later, I spent some money to buy off a cutting student in the Tai Hospital (a small official or apprentice in charge of drug preparation, slicing, and concoction in the Tai Hospital), and found out some of the circumstances. ”
Dolgon motioned for the two of them to be silent, walked to the door and looked out, and then walked back quickly, "Thirteenth brother, please speak!" ”
"Listening to what Na Che Zaosheng said, after the imperial doctors came back from the palace this time, it was unusual, and all the selection and preparation of medicinal materials were not faked, but were completed in person, and then hurriedly sent to Guanju Palace. Even the residue left over from boiling medicine was cleanly disposed of. However, Na Che Zaosheng is a person with a heart, and Tong Guò carefully checked the reduction of drugs in the hospital, and found that the imperial doctors used a few medicinal herbs to treat heart diseases! ”
Duoduo suddenly became excited, "That's not ......!" ”
Dolgon covered his mouth and said coldly: "This matter can only be known to our three brothers and Yu'er, Thirteenth Brother, you will send a confidant to solve the problem of cutting and creating life, and you must not leave a trace!" ”
Azig knew that the matter was serious, so he no longer hesitated at the moment, and hurriedly got up to leave.
Duoduo was still excited, and suddenly jumped off the kang and came to Dorgon's side, "Brother, this is a godsend. The fourth child's body has deteriorated over the years, and the matter of Concubine Chen, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen, we have to be prepared, lest the opportunity comes, but we ......! ”
Dolgon waved his hand, "It's still the same sentence, now it's chaotic, don't care what others think and do, our top priority is to fight the battle in front of us first and then talk about anything else." ”
Duoduo closed his mouth in disbelief.
Dorgon continued, "How's it going to get you done? ”
Duoduo was a little depressed, "This guy doesn't eat hard and soft, and we can't be heavy-handed, I can't help it!" ”
A hint of anger flashed in Dorgon's eyes in an instant, "No, we must take down this person, this person is quite prestigious in the Two Yellow Flags, and Hauge obeys his words, only by taking him down can we infiltrate the circle of the Two Yellow Flags!" ”
"Is Nagu back?" Dorgon asked.
Before the words fell, someone outside reported that it was Ning Wan and Nagu asking to meet. With a wave of his hand, Dorgon ordered the two to come and see them.
Rather than Nagu and I came in and saluted Dorgon and Dordor one by one. Dorgon took a sip of the hot mare's milk and told them to get up. Now that Dolgon is temporarily in charge of the military, the mobilization and training of the Eight Banners are all under his command, and I have to be temporarily dispatched by him.
"Lord Ning is in charge of the spy business, and it has been really hard to search for Nanren spies outside the customs these days. Didn't Nagu come back from the south and hand over the three Han people he brought back to you? How's it going? ”
As soon as he heard this, Duoduo became angry, "Rather finish me, you slave, take chicken feathers as arrows." In order to save Nagu, the three Han people named Huo Wu also broke an arm, and if they still check something, the master will guarantee them! ”
Dolgon smiled, "Don't talk nonsense, the big war is imminent, Lord Ning is instructed by the emperor to investigate the southerners spy is the right thing, where can we open up because of our minions?" You say yes, Lord Ning? ”
Ning Wan and I knelt down with a plop, "The minions are offended, and I hope the two masters will be magnanimous." Now that it has been found out, the three of Nahuo Wu and the others were indeed Li Jiucheng's personal henchmen back then, and Kong Kun, the leader of Master Kong Youde's personal army, was his guarantor, and he was a slave! ”
Dorgon wanted to get up and give me a kick, but when Dorgon shook his head, he scolded a few words of resentment.
"Okay, Lao Ning, we didn't know each other on the first day, we all know that you are loyal to the king, so I won't mention it. Now that the weather is getting colder, grain and grass are becoming increasingly scarce, and the Fan family in Guannai can't count on it, so they have to get more grain from North Korea. You immediately contact the North Korean side, and order the other side to prepare another 30,000 stone of grain for the army, and after two months, it must be delivered to the camp of the army outside Jinzhou. ”
After Ning finished my mouth full of promise, I got up in a cold sweat and left.
Dolgon then commanded: "Nagu, you help the fifteenth master to do his best to take down that man, the army is about to be used, this king does not have so much patience to wait all the time, whether the matter is completed or not within this month." Remember, this king doesn't want his head, as long as he is willing to vote, understand? ”
Nagu peeked at Duoduo and suddenly grimaced. "Master, the fifteenth master can't go out, what can the slave do?"
Duoduo laughed happily, and Dolgon rewarded Nagu angrily, "After this mission, this king has a heavy reward, didn't you bring three Han people from Guannai?" The southerners are treacherous, maybe they have some good ideas. If it fails, the four of you don't have to come back to see me, just go to Ningguta and be enslaved by the armored people!
