Chapter 122: Eight Doors Drumming
For the thousands of Mongolian and Haixi Jurchen cavalry captured alive, Zhu Ping'an did not kill them all, but cut off the thumb, middle finger and index finger of each of them on their right hands, so that they could no longer hold their bows and swords, and then put them all back. With the word of mouth of these people, the news that Zhu Ping'an came to Liaodong and was defeated and killed by Badali soon spread to every corner outside the Guan.
The Qing Dynasty Angbang Zhangjing and Hubu Shangshu Ying Erdai, who were stationed in Shengjing, were frightened and sent more than ten messengers one after another, urging He Luohui to return to reinforcements as much as possible. Even Jierharang, who returned to Shengjing to recuperate, had to drag his sick body to write a letter to He Luohui, saying that Liaodong outside the Guanxi was the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, especially Shengjing, which was run by three generations of emperors and the imperial capital, and there must be no mistakes. Jilharang was extremely dissatisfied with He Luo's military and political affairs in Liaodong, and the defeat of Badali and Delgrad was due to his command mistakes, and Jilharang even proposed in private that if He Luo would be difficult to turn the tide of the war, he would release Prince Su Haoge from the Shengjing Zongren Mansion and let him preside over the military affairs in Liaodong.
This made He Luo, who was defending at Lianshan Pass, very angry. Hauge is the old master of the Holo Society, and the downfall of Hauge and a group of henchmen can be said to be the gift of the two of Baidolgon and Ho Luohui. Now that the young lord Fulin has ascended the throne, he is getting older and no longer the child who is at the mercy of the Dorgon brothers. He has an unusual affection for his eldest brother, and it is said that in order to exonerate Hauge, he had several quarrels with the Dorgon brothers in Beijing. Even the Empress Dowager Da Yu'er mediated in it, but it didn't have much effect.
If Hauge comes back, I'm afraid the first thing he will have to deal with is he He Luohui, even if Dolgon is deliberately partial, it is estimated that he He Luohui will not be able to take advantage of anything in front of the emperor.
And Nagu and Huo Wu rushed to Lianshan Pass at this time. After Dolgon led his troops into the customs. Huo Wu and Nagu stayed in Shengjing, cooperating with Leng Seng Ji and others to control the situation inside and outside the Shengjing Palace. After Emperor Shunzhi and the Empress Dowager entered the customs, Huo Wu and Nagu were still monitoring the situation between the government and the opposition in Shengjing. He Luo will know very well that this makes everyone Dolgon's most trusted house slave, and staying in Shengjing is probably more for the purpose of monitoring himself.
Shengjing's situation is already a little uncontrollable. This is the news that Nagu and Huo Wu brought back. They hoped that He Luohui, the minister left behind in Shengjing, could do his best to suppress the situation. A group of veteran relatives of the Eight Banners have expressed their dissatisfaction with He Luohui, and they desperately hope that Hauge, the former great future of the Eight Banners, will turn the tide.
And Dolgon was still far away in Huguang to pursue the remnants of Nanming's defeated generals, and by the time his orders arrived outside the pass, I am afraid that the daylilies would have turned into ice cubes. Therefore, some people have secretly sent letters to Beijing, hoping to change the status quo in Shengjing through Emperor Guò Shunzhi.
He Luohui didn't understand what was at stake. Hauge is the only person in the Qing Dynasty who can compete with the Dolgon brothers. If it weren't for the fact that he had been imprisoned for the reason of rebellion, I am afraid that Dolgon would not have controlled the situation so smoothly. If Emperor Shunzhi's ears are soft. If you want to forgive him, the tiger you let go will not let the Dorgon brothers do what they want. What's more, if Hauge is released, the first person to retaliate against is definitely He Luohui.
"My lord! You're going to have to come up with an idea! Nagu looked at He Luo's hesitant appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious, looked at Huo Wu with anxiety, and immediately asked after getting the signal.
He Luohui was still a little undecided. As the minister who now has the supreme command outside the Kanwai, he is also the upstart of the Eight Banners. The connections and prestige are undoubtedly much worse. Although Haoge was confined in the Zongren Mansion, his old troops in the court and the army were planning to rescue him all the time. And he Ho Luo will. In addition to having the command of more than 100,000 troops, in the circle of the nobles in Shengjing, the influence is still too small, once you want to do something, it is very likely to arouse the disgust of the nobles of the Eight Banners, and even the same hatred.
Huo Wu still hesitated when he saw He Luo. He stood up and organized Nagu's continued exhortation, but walked in front of He Luohui and bowed slightly, "My lord, now the army is approaching Nanzhili and Jiangnan. This backyard can't be messed up in any way. The three princes all mean the same thing, this Haoge can never stay anymore! ”
……
Coming out of Lianshan Pass, Huo Wu and Nagu galloped all the way towards Shengjing.
He Luohui finally made up his mind at the last moment. This plan was all arranged by Huo Wu temporarily. Including the Eight Banners nobles and even Zierharang's move to promote Haoge as the general of Guanwai, it was all carried out at the instigation of Huo Wu's personnel. The situation in the Guannei is not optimistic now, due to Zheng Zhilong's stubbornness and carelessness of the enemy, the Qing army was able to break through the Huguang defense line and quickly approach the south Zhili. At this time, the war outside the customs became particularly important.
Dolgon arranged the elite of the Eight Banners in the area of Gyeonggi Zhili, and attacked Jiangnan with the green camp, which was undoubtedly a clever move. Now, only by opening a breakthrough outside the pass can we attract the main force of the Eight Banners of the Qing Army inside the pass to come back and create an opportunity for a counterattack.
Therefore, Shengjing must be in chaos. According to Huo Wu's understanding of the Qing court, he was very clear about the relationship between the Shunzhi Emperor, Zierharang, the old and new nobles of the Eight Banners, and Dolgon. Therefore, Huo Wucai decided to take a risk, but he didn't expect this to coincide with Zhu Ping'an.
Zhou Chang, a special envoy specially sent by Zhu Ping'an, conveyed his meaning, and one request was to use Haoge's life to provoke the outbreak of conflict between Dolgon and Emperor Shunzhi.
Zhou Chang is not very old, but Huo Wu does not dare to slack off, Zhou Chang is a useful person around Zhu Ping'an, and being able to send him here shows that Zhu Ping'an attaches great importance to this matter, so after getting the support and approval of He Luohui, everyone rushed back to Shengjing at a hurry.
But as soon as he arrived at the security gate, he heard the rumbling drums, and Nagu's face immediately changed.
"Fifth brother, it's not good, this is Bamen Drumming!" Nagu's voice trembled a little.
Huo Wu and Zhou Chang were a little confused, but after Na Guyi's explanation, it was clear. It turned out that the eight gates beat the drum, which meant that Shengjing had something important to announce, and it was necessary to summon the officials of the eight banners of the whole city to go to the Dazheng Hall to listen to the instructions.
The main hall was built by Nurhachi, and after the emperor Taiji ascended the throne, the main hall was vacant, but he once issued an edict: where there is an urgent matter, the eight gates will beat the drum at the same time, which means to summon officials to go to the main hall to face the king. Over the years that Huang Taiji ascended the throne, only when he conquered Jinzhou and Guan Ju Palace Concubine Chen gave birth to a prince, he used such an honor, which means that the whole world celebrates. But now it's plain eight door drumming, and it's clear that something big is going to happen.
Moreover, this time the Bamen drumming happened when He Luohui, the highest power in Shengjing, was not in Shengjing, and the meaning of this is self-evident.
Dolgon also has a lot of eyes and ears in Shengjing, Nagu and Huo Wuyi entered the security gate, and someone sent the news over on the side. This time, something big is about to happen.
The drumming of the Eight Gates was arranged by Emperor Shunzhi, and someone sent the will to Shengjing early in the morning and handed it over to Jierharang. Immediately after that, there will be a messenger to Shengjing to convey the will of the Shunzhi Emperor, the specific content of the edict is not clear, only know that the two people who come to pass the decree are the two people who are most valued by the Shunzhi Emperor now, one is the steward of the Internal Affairs Office, and the other is the young son of the late Dora Rao Yu County King Abatai, who has been promoted to Dorobelle and is currently listening to Yue Le before driving.
These two celebrities around Emperor Shunzhi worked tirelessly at this time, all the way to Shengjing day and night, what was it for? What is the purpose of using the old example of eight doors to beat the drum? With so much information, I'm afraid that many discerning people have seen it very thoroughly.
"What else could it be for?" Huo Wu thought about it for a while, and then understood the strangeness. "The Emperor is going to pardon Hauge! Such a big battle is nothing more than to make it clear to Prince Rui that Hauge is his person, and now he is going to reactivate it, and he is reusing Hauge, which is also an expression of dissatisfaction with Dolgon's control of the government, or a catharsis! ”
"So what are we going to do?" Nagu fought a cold war.
"What else can be done? Before Duo Xuan and Yue Le enter the city, we will rush ahead of them and kill Haoge! Zhou Chang said first.
Huo Wu nodded approvingly.
"But now, seeing that Qin Cha is about to enter the city, and the officials of Shengjing are all heading to the Dazheng Palace, is it too conspicuous to do it at this time. Clear-eyed people know at a glance that we did it, so will it ......? Nagu hesitated.
A fierce light flashed in Huo Wu's eyes, "What if you know, who doesn't know that King Rui and King Su have long been immortal!" The emperor behaved like this, Hauge died, and it was also a warning to him! ”
Nagu could only reluctantly agree, but he secretly complained in his heart. Huo Wu also saw his uneasiness and timidity, after all, he was talking about the murder of the prince of the imperial court now, no wonder he would look like this. Therefore, Huo Wu simply ordered his confidants to take him back and take care of him carefully to prevent leakage of news.
Haoge was imprisoned in the north lane of the Shenhe River in the south corner of the city, and the Zongren Mansion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was established in accordance with the regulations of the Ming Dynasty. Except for the direct descendants of Nurhachi's father, Takshi, who are called Yellow Belt, the rest are collectively called Red Belt.
The current Zongren Mansion is only a general framework, and it has not even appeared in the yamen sequence of the imperial court, the Shunzhi Emperor has just moved the capital to Beijing, and the Zongren Mansion is also going to move over, so the current affairs are still in the hands of Shengjing's infantry yamen, and the leader of the infantry army yamen is Dolgon's subordinate Leng Seng Ji.
