Chapter 458: Fighting for the Imperial Throne
Who knew that before Lu Jiu could take the opportunity to say the words to persuade Heisenberg, Heisenberg's face turned cold again, and after thinking about it for a while, he said categorically: "No, the general handed over these thousands of brothers to me, and I have the obligation to bring them back safely, it is too risky to do so, I can't agree." Oh my God, how could I have such a presumptuous idea just now! ā
Lu Jiu was almost angry and vomited blood, he thought that this guy had been persuaded by himself, but who knew that in the end, he would fall short. But he still didn't give up, and was determined to continue to persuade this red-haired ghost who had never communicated much.
"The Qing court is empty, and the only one who has combat effectiveness is Dolgon's more than 10,000 cavalry, and Dolgon is going back to fight for the throne, where will he have the heart to fight with us? The unstable heart of this army is a taboo for soldiers, although we are alone in the depths, but the victory is in the suddenness of the army, when the time comes, who will die......"
"Oh, my dear General Lu, I think I was persuaded by you, so let you and I join forces to send those barbarians to God. No, it's hell! ā
Heisenberg's attitude seemed to change again in an instant, which made Lu Jiu wonder, what was going on with the red-haired ghost, what did he think after a while of wind and rain. Lu Jiu is concerned about chaos, but Tong Jiamo, who is a bystander, understands that the words of the red-haired ghost are just to cover people's eyes, in fact, he was tempted as early as the beginning, and then there was a burst of joy in his heart, originally thought that this guy was a stubborn who ate the ancients, and he was so cunning after making trouble for a long time, it seems that he is temporarily safe in the hands of these two people.
However, Tong Jiamo then became worried again, and confronted Dolgon, either his head was kicked by the donkey, or this person was arrogant to the extreme, and he was definitely not sure of winning. But what Lu Jiu said also has some truth, Dolgon's return to the division is to compete with his people for the throne, so the army of the Ming Dynasty can take advantage of this contradiction to profit from it, and when the time comes, it is absolutely not necessary to take advantage of it, if it can take advantage of the situation, it may not be impossible to take advantage of it.
Seeing that Heisenberg and Lu Jiu are not easy to match, they should be able to listen to persuasion. Tong Jiamo was moving his own careful thoughts on the side, but Heisenberg did what he said, and immediately ordered someone to send an order to collect all the gunpowder, grain and grass in the city, and go north early tomorrow morning, pointing at Shengjing.
After receiving the military order to point at Shengjing, the entire army was suddenly thunderous and excited, and the entire small city of Haizhou seemed to be boiling. This scene made Tong Jiamo secretly smack his tongue, when did the Ming army become so imposing? If the Ming army is like this, Liaodong may not be lost!
ā¦ā¦
Zilharang's face was as pale as dirt, and he looked at Azig in a different place, and he did not have a trace of the joy of victory, but felt a deep fear and fear. Previously, Azig had gathered a group of people in Zhuangzi outside the city to prepare for Dolgon's return to Beijing. Both the Yongfu Palace and Zilharang in the city felt a deep crisis, and in the face of the imminent threat, both sides actually abandoned their previous suspicions and decided to kill this Azig first.
So Zilharang accepted Mi Yan's Jian yƬ and entrapped, but he didn't expect to be hit with one blow and really captured Azig alive. In the end, in order to cut through the chaos quickly, Yongfu Palace came forward to discuss with Zilharang and behead Azig for treason, so as to deter the chaos outside the city.
When the matter came, it was like an arrow on the string and had to be sent, and Zilharang obviously didn't want to kill Azig, but he had to bite the bullet and personally behead Azig.
The chaotic situation outside the city was indeed calmed down by shock, and at this time, Zilharang once again put pressure on Yongfu Palace, demanding that the successor to the throne be decided. However, the hundreds of royals in the city raised a problem that Zilharang could not bypass, that is, the throne was best chosen only among the sons of the former Great Khan, Emperor Taiji.
Then as Nurhachi's nephew, Zilharang was naturally excluded, Zilharang was unwilling, wanted to be the enemy of the entire royal family, but he couldn't make up his mind, seeing that Yongfu Palace was about to win in this section, the bad news came again.
Dolgon returned with two elite cavalry with white flags, and the soldiers came to Shengjing City, and the momentum was like a rainbow for a while. Zilharang's heart was terrified, he killed the brother of Dolgon's mother's compatriots, if he let him gain power, how could he let himself go. Coupled with Dorgon's return to Beijing, his hope of competing for the throne is even slimmer, and for now, whether he wants to or not, he can only stand on the side of Yongfu Palace.
As a result, Zilharang, who had a high demand for the throne, became a loyal supporter of the little prince who was only two years old in Yongfu Palace.
In the end, Dolgon sent Duoduo, the prince of Yu, to enter the city to pay tribute to the first Great Khan on his behalf, and at the same time proposed to decide who would succeed to the throne. However, when Dordor learned that Azig had been killed, he lost his mind and tried desperately to find Zilharan, but was unable to succeed when the old man of the royal family stopped him. However, the old men of the royal family in the city also expressed a unanimous opinion on the succession to the throne, that is, to be selected from among the sons of Huang Taiji.
After Dolgon got the news that night, he did not base his position, but the next morning he put forward with a clear attitude that the order of succession to the throne should be based on the principle of establishing a successor, and at present, the first Khan Emperor Taiji has no son-in-law, and the eldest son Haoge has become a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty, so according to the order of eldest and youngest, Ye Bushu from the concubine Yan Zha should inherit the throne.
As soon as Dolgon's construction was proposed, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves. The concubines in the palace are basically Borzigit, whether it is the concubine of Yongfu Palace or the queen, they are all Mongolians, and even the Empress Dowager, the widow of Lin Dan Khan, who was later accepted by Huang Taiji, is also a Borzigit. Among these Mongolian concubines, Fulin, the son of Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace, has the highest call for enthronement. And what is even more rare is that the two yellow flags held by Huang Taiji during his lifetime also wholeheartedly supported Fulin to inherit the throne.
When he learned that the vast majority of the royal family in Beijing did not support the passing of the throne to Huang Taiji's brothers, he resolutely decided to find another way to get the support of as many royal families as possible.
In contrast, Zilharang, who had been dominant and important, was marginalized, especially when he personally beheaded Azig, and many people began to avoid being too close to him and incurring the envy of Dolgon.
This makes Zilharang even more psychologically attached to Yongfu Palace, hoping to prevent Dorgon from succeeding and protecting himself. But it didn't come true, and after Dolgon proposed to set up Ye Bushu as the emperor, Ye Bushu, who was originally only born to a lowly side concubine, became the focus of attention in Shengjing City. Because once Dolgon has achieved absolute superiority, this man will be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and who would dare to underestimate this eleven-year-old child.
Moreover, there is another point that Ye Bushu's advantage is much higher than that of Fulin, Ye Bushu is already eleven years old and is now an adult, while Fulin is only two years old, and he can't even speak, and he may die at any time at this age, so some of the old people of the royal family in Shengjing who are not close to Yongfu Palace naturally prefer the older Ye Bushu.
Dolgon fell into deep thought in the military tent outside the city, and finally made him think that it was his brother Daishan, who was far away outside the Shanhai Pass, who had changed his mind about taking the throne himself. He had already entrusted Shuo Tuo Shao with a letter to himself, and told him that this letter could only be handed over to him after arriving in Sheng Jingcheng.
After Dolgon unfolded the letter, he had only read a few words, and his heart was already half cold. Dai Shan actually did not agree to the selection of the heir to the throne by Huang Taiji's brothers, and was no different from the old people of the royal family in Shengjing, and agreed with the choice of Huang Taiji's descendants.
Although he scolded Dai Shan for being cunning in his heart, he had nothing to do, if he didn't follow Dai Shan's principles, he would not get the greatest help from his Dai Shan brother, and he would be alone in the battle for the throne. Therefore, after some trade-offs, Ye Bushu, who was relatively weak in his mother's family, was chosen to stand in front of the stage to fight for the throne for him, and it was a big deal to wait for Ye Bushu to get the throne.
And Shuoto's appearance made Dolgon also alert, and Ping Suri looked at this Shuoto as if he was straight and didn't have much idea, but he still underestimated him. Shuotuo obviously colluded with Dai Shan a long time ago, ostensibly to help him seize the throne, but in fact it was an eyeliner that Dai Shan buried beside him. However, Dorgon was soon relieved, no matter what, Shuoto was the person by his side, and as long as he used it properly, he could use the power of Prince Li's power as his help.
However, after one night's work, Yebushu's call to inherit the throne became louder and louder, and Yongfu Palace and the two yellow flags, especially Zilharang, were helpless although they were anxious. It is rumored that some people have even begun to prepare for Yebushu to inherit the throne.
Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, the accident happened again, and suddenly there was news that Anshan Yi Cannon Factory was raided by the Ming army, Liaoyang was raided by the Ming army, and the camps and forts along the way were raided by the Ming army. For a while, it seemed that the Ming army had been overwhelmed.
The atmosphere in Shengjing City suddenly became tense, who will inherit the emperor's throne, who will defeat the invading Ming army, these have become urgent questions, but at this critical moment, who can leave Shengjing lightly?
However, in Dorgon's view, this was undoubtedly a timely rain for him, a timely rain that could help him. Ye Bushu's succession to the throne was still a few variables, but with the help of the Ming army, the overall situation was decided.
Dorgon looked up and shouted, "God help me!" ā
