Chapter 373: Fighting in the Nest

Qingdu, Shengjing.

Shengjing, formerly known as Shenyang, was built in the 21st year of Hongwu by Min Zhong, the commander of Liaodong. After completion, the circumference of the city wall is nine miles, two zhang and five feet high, and it was once a military important place for the Ming army to resist the Mongols and Jurchens in Liaodong, and Shenyang Zhongwei was set up here. During the Jiajing period, in order to resist the expansion of the Jurchens, the city of Shenyang was expanded.

In 1621, Nurhachi captured Shenyang, moved the capital from Xingjing Xinbin to Liaoyang, Tokyo, four years later, in 1625, moved the capital to Shenyang, in 1634, Huangtaiji respected Shenyang as Shengjing, two years later Huangtaiji changed the Yuan to the emperor, the founding of the country called the Qing Dynasty, since then Shengjing has become the political and military center of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

At this time, Shengjing was more solid and majestic than the previous time, and the entire Shengjing City was expanded to show a tic-tac-toe pattern. The four avenues in the city formed a tic-tac-toe, enclosing the Manchu palace in the middle, and the four roads corresponded to the eight city gates of Shengjing, and the Eight Banners Army each guarded one door.

Before Huang Taiji set out for Jinzhou, he had agreed with the Sixth Ministry on the expansion of Shengjing, intending to build Waiguo City on the outskirts of Shengjing. The planned outer city wall is seven feet five high, with a circumference of thirty-two li, which is circular and has eight city gates. After completion, the whole Shengjing will be a double city with an outer circle and an inner square.

On the golden hall of the imperial palace, Tai Yu'er, who had just been honored as the Queen Mother, and her aunt, the Empress Dowager Zhezhe, sat behind the curtain, and in front of her, on the dragon chair of the Golden Palace, sat her three-year-old son Fulin, now the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

At the foot of the son's imperial stairs, there stood a row of important ministers.

Da Yu'er looked from behind the curtain, and there were many familiar faces missing. Especially among Hanchen, the three major bachelors headed by Fan Wencheng have disappeared, and now standing at the head of Hanchen is Ning Wanme, who had been demoted earlier, and now he has just taken over from Fan Wencheng's position as a scholar of the Inner Courtyard and has become the new head of Hanchen and Wenchen.

In Da Yu'er's eyes, the crown on his son's head. It was undoubtedly a bit too heavy for him.

Although this crown was improvised by Shengjing's top craftsmen, it still didn't fit well on the head of the three-year-old emperor.

This crown is made according to the crown of the first emperor, and the whole body is made of hollow tired silk technique in metalworking, and it is crowned with a pigeon-egg-like superb large eastern pearl. The lower layer is divided into three layers, and a slightly larger east pearl is intersected between the layers, and each layer bears four golden dragons. The golden dragon of the hemispherical base layer faces downward, and the golden dragon of the upper two layers opens its mouth upward, and each dragon is decorated with an east pearl.

The crown of the golden dragon on the top of the crown is three inches and seven high, there is a golden Buddha in the center of the front of the crown, and there is a sherin in the center of the crown back.

This crown is extremely dazzling, and it perfectly matches the distinguished status of the person who wears it.

But for Fu Lin, who was only three years old, this golden dragon crown was still too heavy.

The golden crown, the golden Buddha, and the golden shelin on this crown are all exquisite, gorgeous and precious, only the top of the East Pearl. It's worth a lot of money. It's just that this crown is four inches and two inches high, which is extremely heavy.

Da Yu'er saw that his son was sitting on the dragon chair and kept shaking his head, he would tilt to the left, then to the right, then to the back, and then to the front, as if this would make him more comfortable.

He's just a three-year-old, and he doesn't even understand the meaning of the crown. He was just before he sat on that dragon chair and put on the crown. Obey his mother's promise, obediently put on the crown and sit on the dragon chair to listen to the ministers' meeting and discussion. When you're done, you can go see the peacocks.

Da Yuer's real name is Bumu Butai, which means a noble person from heaven. She is the second daughter of Bel Zhaisang, Korqin of Mongolia, and is of the Borzigit clan. This Borzigit clan is actually a mistaken memory of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming people mistakenly recorded it as the surname of the Yuan Dynasty royal family when they wrote the Yuan officials, but in fact, the ancient Mongolians had a name and no surname, and the Ming people mistakenly recorded it as the surname of the Yuan Dynasty. Borzigit is a misremember.

Bumu Butai is a Mongolian and a descendant of the Mongolian Golden Family. In the Huangtaiji era, the harem was ruled by the women of the Mongolian tribe.

Bumu Butai's nickname is Da Yu'er, and he married Huang Taiji at the age of thirteen and entered the Qing Palace. Before her. Her aunt Zhezhe had married Hwang Tae-gil and became Hwang Tae-gil's empress. Ten years after she married Huang Taiji, her sister Hai Lanzhu also married into the Qing Dynasty and has since become Huang Taiji's favorite concubine. Later, Lin Dan Khan's Dafujin also married Huang Taiji, the first and fourth concubines with the highest status in Huang Taiji's harem, all of whom were Mongolian women, all of whom were Bolzigit.

The proceedings began.

The secretary of the military department, the acting flag master of the Yellow Banner and Prince Azig of Heshuoying, stepped forward, "The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the auxiliary king Dolgon and Dai Shangang sent back the news that they have successfully recovered Haizhou, and are currently leading their troops north, and they are about to recover Tokyo Liaoyang." ”

Azig stood in the golden palace with an arrogant attitude, and did not take the queen mother and the emperor of the two palaces in the slightest, and even Haoge, who was respected as one of the four auxiliary kings, did not take it seriously.

This is an arrogant person, Da Yu'er said secretly. Da Yu'er knew very well that the first emperor died suddenly, and now the three Dolgon brothers are the strongest in the court, although their son succeeded to the throne, they are just a puppet. Originally, when her husband first succeeded to the throne, he was the weakest in his hands, and he was able to stabilize his strength by winning over Dai Shan, and later by changing flags with the Dorgon brothers, the strength of their three brothers was greatly weakened.

She knew that there had always been rumors that Taizu intended to pass the throne to Dolgon, but Da Yu'er didn't believe it at all, Dolgon was just a child back then, she married into the Qing Palace at the age of thirteen, and knew Dolgon very well. However, forcing Dolgon's mother to be martyred, and then changing the flag, did make the three Dolgon brothers resentful of Huang Taiji.

What Da Yu'er didn't understand was why Dolgon didn't go back to Shengjing to preside over the overall situation in person at this time, but instead let Azig come back to preside over the overall situation on his behalf.

Azig is a man who is not as brave as Duoduo, and he is not wise enough to be Dorgon, and he acts recklessly and arrogantly. It has only been a few days since he returned to Shengjing, but he has already done a lot of arrogant things, such as hearing that Azig broke into the house of the late university scholar Fan Wencheng yesterday, forcibly seized Fan Wencheng's wife, and also seized the property of the Fan family's mansion.

It's like a robber, and it's hard to believe that its methods are simple and crude. Fan Wencheng, as the head of the Manchu Dynasty and the head of the Han Dynasty, has always been loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and even died for His Majesty in the Liaohe River, but Azig actually treated his wife like this, which will make many people feel cold.

Especially in this current situation.

"That's good, I hope the second king can recover Tokyo as soon as possible, return to Shengjing, and expel the Ming army." The queen mother Empress Dowager Zhezhe said slowly behind the curtain that the empress dowager was not keen on military affairs, and even in the harem during the reign of Huang Taiji, she had always been just an indisputable gesture.

If it weren't for the fact that the eighth prince born to Hai Lanzhu died before he was less than a year old, it would definitely not be the ninth son born to Da Yu'er who is sitting on the throne now.

Fu Lin sat on the dragon chair, not understanding anything about what they were talking about, just watching from side to side.

Fu Lin didn't know that just outside Shengjing, the Ming army had already come to the city. If it weren't for the quick return of the kings, I am afraid that Liu Jiye would have launched an attack a long time ago.

Now the army of the kings has come back to help, but that Liu Junye is still stationed outside the city, and there is no sign of retreat. Da Yu'er has heard a lot about this Liu Jiye during this time, and knows that he is only in his twenties, but he is like a god with soldiers, and since he led the army, he has been invincible. In particular, he has extremely powerful artillery in his hands, which can blast open no matter how strong the city.

Da Yu'er heard that Azig had sent a lot of soldiers and horses out of the city, so she asked worriedly, "Prince Ying, I heard that you sent an army out of the city, I don't know how the battle is going?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, everything is going well." Azig replied.

Hauge snorted coldly on the side, and this snort was not soft, and many people heard it. Azig turned his head to glare at Haug, who sneered, "All the best? Prince Ying is only afraid that what he said is not true, as far as this king knows, yesterday you transferred 20,000 people out of the city, divided into seven routes, to sweep the black flag rebels in the north of the city, as a result, not only did not make any progress, but also lost a lot of troops in Puhe City, I heard that thousands of people died! ”

"It's just the loss of more than a thousand coated minions." Azig said with some annoyance, in fact, he was also taken aback when he received the battle report from Puhe City. After careful investigation, I learned that although there were not many soldiers in Puhe City, only five or six hundred, there were guns and cannons, and the 3,000 men and horses who attacked the city were too light on the enemy, and as a result, thousands of corpses were lost under the city, and finally had to be withdrawn.

"Baoyi Aha is also precious, although we have won the victory of Songjin in the past year, we have also lost a lot of soldiers and horses. Not to mention that tens of thousands of Black Flag troops have now become rebels and defected to the Southern Dynasty. Even our Eight Banners armor warriors have lost as much as seven or eight thousand before and after, every warrior of our Eight Banners is precious, and now even Baoyi Aha is also precious, but he can't withstand such damage. Haoge took the opportunity to say, and then he sneered again, "Or is it that the people who died under Puhe City are all the Baoyi Aha of the Zhenghuang Banner, so you, the acting flag master, are not distressed at all?" ”

"You dare!" Azig shouted angrily.

Haoge also shouted, "Presumptuous, dare to be rude to the auxiliary king, dare to roar in front of the queen mother of the two palaces and the emperor!" ”

"The two princes are angry, they are all family, don't hurt the harmony." The Eastern Empress Dowager Zhezhe hurriedly persuaded.

Because there are now two queen mothers, one is honored as the queen mother, and the other is honored as the queen mother, and the other is called the queen mother, which is a little confusing, and the people below simply call Zhezhe the queen mother of the East Palace, and Da Yuer is the queen mother of the West Palace.

When has it been, still fighting in the nest like this, Da Yu'er sighed in her heart.

"Isn't it just a small Puhe City, this king will personally take him down later!" Azig said coldly at Hauge.

"You have to do it until you get it done, this king is waiting for your good news in Jingshi!" Not to be outdone, Hauge responded.

"We'll see!" (To be continued.) )
