384 Secret History of the Court
"What game?" Zilharang said with some hesitation. Β± Top Novel, www.
Dolgon smiled and said, "Didn't the sixth brother just say that these firecrackers are flashy? It's better to play a little game with these flashy firearms, which can be regarded as adding a little fun to the emperor and the queen mother, I don't know if the sixth brother dares or not? β
This is obviously a radical general, if it is just on weekdays, just endure it or play haha, but in front of so many Manchu nobles, especially in front of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and the Emperor Shunzhi, Zierharang can't lose this face, and he said without concession when he heard the words: "What kind of comparison? β
"It's very simple, the sixth brother is suspicious of these new firearms, so good, let's bet with this firecracker, thirty people from each side, we will give one hundred steps, limited to three miles, as long as one of the six brothers' people escapes from the three miles, even if the sixth brother wins, if one can't escape, then the younger brother wins, how about it?"
After speaking, Dolgon said a little casually: "Cannibalism, we don't want to see it, it is estimated that the queen mother and the emperor do not want to see it, it is better for us to send Baoyi Aha as a representative, I heard that the sixth brother has a team of elite Baoyi Aha who swallowed the spoils of war without authorization and was imprisoned, and embezzling the spoils of war is a big crime of bullying, and the crime should be beheaded, God has the virtue of a good life, it is better for the sixth brother to give them a chance to live, let them be the target of escape, of course, in order to make this game more interesting, we might as well add some more colors." β
The population of the Eight Banners is small, and the lives of each soldier are precious, even Dolgon does not dare to joke with the lives of the soldiers, so it is easy to tell the truth and give people a handle, but to play this dangerous game with Painted Aha so that no one has an opinion, because this kind of Painted Maha wants to be as much as it wants, and it can be recharged at any time, as for the color head, it was Dolgon's temporary idea. While winning enough face, you can enhance your own strength and reduce the strength of your opponent, which is a great thing to kill three birds with one stone.
In the Manchu language, Baoyi means "home", Aha means "slave", the population of the Manchu Eight Banners is not large, although the army is elite, but the population is too small to restrict further expansion, for this reason, from the original four banners to eight banners, in addition to the Han Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners. The composition of each banner is divided into three ranks, there are Manchu banner people, these are the highest status, and then there are soldiers of other ethnic groups who are naturalized, and the lowest status is Aha, that is, slaves, these Aha come from a wide range of sources, there are soldiers and civilians who have rebelled, and there are people who have been sold into slavery. The vast majority were recruited by prisoners of war.
Zilharang's face was cold, not because he was afraid of gambling, but because of what Dorgon said, yes. There is indeed a team of very elite and repeated military exploits under his command, Aha was imprisoned by himself for embezzling spoils, and the trade-off between discipline and talent made Zilharang a little difficult, but he didn't expect such a small thing Dolgon also knew, what does this mean? I can't hide my every move from him. Isn't this a naked display of his abilities?
"Oh, I don't know what color the fourteenth brother wants to add?" Zilharang knew he couldn't back down, once he did. It will be difficult to hold up your head in the future.
Zilharang admits that the new-style firecracker is better than the old-fashioned bird-gun and seven-eyed gun, but he did not reach the feared Cheng DΓΉ, and he broke out of the rain of bullets, and said that his team of criminals Aha was the elite of the Ming Dynasty army, with low status but strong combat effectiveness, rich combat experience, and an advantage of 100 steps, only need to escape, as long as one person escapes, even if he wins, the odds of winning are still quite big.
Gamble on it, in front of so many people, this domineering fourteenth brother will never use intrigues and tricks to get fat.
Dolgon glanced at Zilharang, his eyes flashed, and a subtle smile appeared on his lips, but he pretended to say lightly: "In this way, if none of the sixth brother's people can escape, it will be to lose ten of my bulls; On the contrary, as long as one person escapes from three miles, I also lose six brothers and ten Niu Lu, in order to make the game more intense, every time one more escapes, the younger brother will give one more Niu Lu, that is to say, the sixth brother will lose ten Niu Lu at most, but if he wins, he can have a maximum of thirty-nine Niu Lu, so it's fair, right? β
For the new type of firecracker, Dolgon can be said to be full of letters, for this performance, specially selected a team of superb archery skills from below, these people were originally the Ming army's firecrackers, originally had a foundation, and after hard training and battlefield experience, very elite.
"Okay, deal." Zilharang replied loudly.
The odds are high, and with such favorable conditions, a fool won't do it.
"Okay, it's still the sixth brother who is refreshing, let's go and ask the queen mother and the emperor to make a holy judgment." Dolgon replied without hesitation.
Although he covered the sky with one hand, the front-line war continued to be victorious, and Dolgon's prestige became higher and stronger, and his strength became stronger and stronger, that is, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Shunzhi had to be polite when they saw him, and even there was a hint of flattery in their tones, and many things were his words, but in front of such a person, he also needed to be pretentious.
Dolgon and Zilharang reported to the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang and Shunzhi, Shunzhi was too young, the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang only hesitated for a moment, and soon said softly: "I don't understand these things, but there are games to entertain the atmosphere, and I will listen to the meaning of the fourteenth imperial uncle, no matter which side of the two imperial uncles wins, the palace will have another reward." β
After speaking, he smiled slightly at Dolgon below.
The Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang came from the Borzigit clan, named Bumu Butai, also known as Benbutai (meaning "noble man from heaven"), the second daughter of Beile Zhaisang of the Mongolian Horqin Department (in present-day Tongliao), the niece of Empress Xiaoduanwen, the sister of Min Huigong and the Yuan Concubine, married to the eighth son of Nurhachi Emperor Taiji for the side of the Fujin, the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang was born beautiful, and the feminine softness is also sandwiched with the unique tenacity of the Mongolian people, known as the most beautiful flowers on the grassland, although married to a woman, But after being moisturized by men, it also adds a bit of femininity, and it looks more glamorous.
If women are like wine, then the Queen Mother of Xiaozhuang is a jar of wine that is more and more mellow, the wine is intoxicating, the beauty is sultry, the Emperor Xiaozhuang smiled slightly, like a peony blooming in the wind, so noble, so beautiful, so charming, Rao is reading countless people Dolgon also lost his mind for a moment, thinking of the madness and lingering of the two together, Dolgon's heart couldn't help but swing.
In fact, when the Emperor Taiji accepted the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang, Dolgon was attracted by this beauty with grassland style, and has been secretly observing and appreciating, but he did not expect that the heavens would interfere with the talent, the wise and martial Emperor Taiji suddenly died, and did not designate an heir before his death, so that many people peeped at this throne, Shunzhi is the ninth son of Taiji, the biological mother is still the side of Fujin, young, no military merits and no fame, but it can stand out, it can not be said to be a miracle, and the creator of this miracle is the beauty from the grassland.
In order to get Dolgon's support, this beautiful, noble, fairy-like beauty, committed to Dolgon, who had long been coveted, in exchange for his support, so that his son sat on the throne of the emperor, and recently discussed the matter of marriage, Dolgon's heart couldn't help but feel a fire at the thought that he could dominate this beautiful sister-in-law.
The Manchus were a warlike nation, casualties could not be avoided, a bit like the Mongolian practice, there was a tradition of brother dying and brother inheriting, that is, when the elder brother died, his wife and concubine let the younger brother take over, just like a field, the elder brother finished plowing, and the younger brother continued to plant, so that the population of the Manchus could be maintained, and the combination of the two was not excessive, but one was the queen and the other was the emperor's uncle, and it was a bit controversial to spread out, but fortunately, Dolgon's strength and domineering made those who disputed shut up.
It is said that there is nothing more delicious than dumplings, and nothing more fun than his sister-in-law, and Dolgon feels that he is deeply trapped in it.
Coming to his senses, Dorgon hurriedly saluted, and then went to prepare separately with a complacent Zilharang.
Dolgon distributed the new-style firecrackers brought back by Fan Yongdou to the thirty firecrackers, and said with a straight face: "Aim at the point for a while, and don't let any of them go, kill a beautiful woman with a reward of one hundred taels of silver, and if you run one, everyone will be killed." β
"Remember, let me run separately, that is, three miles, as long as you escape from these three miles, the original crimes will be pardoned, and each person will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and if you want to die or live, you will weigh it." At the same time as Dorgon was mobilizing, Zilharan also made a loud promise.
A game of life and dignity is on the verge of breaking out. (To be continued......) R527
