Chapter 60: Returning Home
Dolgon didn't die, and seeing that Ning Wanme, Sonny and the others also appeared unharmed, Fulin's heart fell to the bottom again. Today's battle was completely lost.
But his eyes still searched in the direction of Dolgon, but disappointingly, he never found the man's shadow.
"Are you looking for your mother?" Dolgon didn't get out of the car, just snuggled up to the wheels of the car sleepily, turned his head in the direction of Fulin, and asked lightly.
The unruly Blessing nodded suddenly.
Dolgon lifted the curtains, and there were some quilts and other things piled up in the carriage, leaning on a figure on it, the palace clothes on his body were still gorgeous and dazzling, his hands crossed on his lower abdomen, his long eyelashes were closed, and his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was asleep.
"E-niang!" Fu Lin couldn't help but let out a soft voice, and the war horse under his crotch seemed to feel the uneasiness of his master, and kept spinning in place.
Dolgon gently took Da Yu'er's hand, his eyes were full of infinite tenderness, and he didn't say a word, but two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks.
Everyone was speechless, although Da Yu'er's face was still pretty and beautiful, but there was no trace of life.
Nagu muttered to himself: "When the dormitory collapsed, the Queen Mother pushed the regent out, but she was ...... by the falling beams!" The crowd was silent.
"In the end, I realized that you not only have your son and the Qing Dynasty in your heart, but you still have my place!" Dolgon whispered.
Fu Lin's body couldn't help but tremble suddenly, different from the fear just now, at this time he clearly felt a loneliness that he had never felt before, and this loneliness was far stronger than the feeling that death had just brought him.
Is this the feeling of the so-called betrayal of relatives? finally regained the power that should have belonged to him, but there was no trace of joy. The power in his hands flew away in an instant. His subordinates who were loyal to him and his mother who loved him also left him at the same time, only to realize that the so-called revitalization of the Qing Dynasty was just a sweet dream.
Everything is gone with the wind, but it turns out that it is back to the starting point, but things are not people, and only one person is left. This sad feeling filled Fu Lin's heart and limbs, and it also made his hand slowly reach for his sword.
This saber was given to him by Rigon that day. I heard that it was once owned by Emperor Sun Chengzong, and it was also a sword given by Emperor Chongzhen. When Dolgon presented this sword, he once said that he hoped that Fu Lin could learn from the previous dynasty and make great efforts to prosper the Qing Dynasty. But today, this sword is about to put an end to all of Fulin's ambitions.
Just when everyone looked at Dolgon and Da Yu'er in the distance in horror, Fulin quietly slit his throat with the saber in his hand at this moment, and the right hand holding the sword suddenly drooped, and the saber fell into the muddy water. Water splashes. Duoxi only looked back at this time, and at a glance, his soul was gone.
Blood spurted out and hissed in the air, but Fu Lin didn't care, and even a hint of an elusive smile rippled on his face, and his body slowly fell down. Duoxi's thin, short frame could not bear his weight, and the two of them fell to the muddy ground together.
"Brother Huang!" Bo Guoer was still a teenager. Where have I seen such a miserable scene, and immediately a "wow" cry of pain. The cry alarmed everyone, and everyone found out that Emperor Shunzhi had quietly killed himself.
The procession of the two yellow flags suddenly became chaotic, and all the people no longer cared about their dignity and dignity, and fell to their knees in the mud, bowing down to Dolgon. There were also some die-hard loyalists of the imperial party, seeing that the general trend had gone, and the emperor broke himself again, so he drew his sword and followed him. Immediately there was chaos outside the West Gate.
"Kill!" Dodor's face grew more hideous. Fu Lin's suicide did not make him feel much of the pleasure of revenge, but a kind of depression with nowhere to vent. "Kill all these ungrateful dog minions!"
But when he came galloping and came to Dorgon and Dodor, he said in a loud voice that made Dorgon and Dodor fall for a moment.
"The Liaohe Dongchangbao and Guangning lines were lost, He Luohui, Ahanikan and others were all killed, and the Ming army Li Dingguo's department and the Korean Pu Youzhou, Cai Menheng, Yehebu Delgrad, Chahar Abney, Bulni and other Mobei Mongolian coalition forces have been driven straight in, and the remnants of our army have to retreat to the front line of Shanhaiguan!"
The voice of the soldier who came to report the news was not loud, but Duoduo heard it clearly, and his entire body suddenly became cold to the bone, and the spear in his hand was out of control and fell to the ground at once.
"It's over, it's over, He Luohui's soldiers and horses are all wiped out, Li Dingguo will no longer be blocked, plus the tigers and wolves of Korea, Haixi Jurchen, and Chahar, Liaodong will no longer have any more soldiers!"
The surviving Sony, Suke Saha, and Suppilon, including Fan Wencheng, Tong Guolai and others, suddenly cried and wailed one by one. The emperor died, the queen mother died, the last line of defense in Liaodong also collapsed, the Azig army was trapped in Shaanxi, and Zhu Ping'an's soldiers and horses came from all sides.
Duoduo, who was still aggressive and wanted to kill all of them just now, lost his spirit at this time, and sat on his horse in a daze, for a while, then he came to his senses, and hurriedly turned his eyes to his brother Dorgon for help.
Dolgon was still clutching Da Yu'er's cold palm, unaware of the burns on his face.
"Brother!" Duoduo said in a trembling voice: "You are so sober, now that it is time for life and death, you are the backbone of everyone, but don't be sad and overly ......!" ”
After a long time, Dorgon sighed faintly. "It's over!"
When everyone heard this, their hearts were even more sad. After Dai Shan's death, the two red flags were in the hands of his son Shuotuo and grandson Adali, they are all Dolgon's henchmen, at this time have brought troops to reinforcements, seeing Dolgon's depressed appearance, he couldn't help but admonish: "Regent, now that the Qing Dynasty has no owner, you are needed to preside over the overall situation, the world is so big, where can we go to the children of the Eight Banners, as long as we fight out of the encirclement, to the grassland, even if the Ming Dynasty is strong and strong, what can I do?" ”
"I've also heard of Yue Le's strategy!" Dorgon said slowly, "His method is indeed the only way out for the Qing Dynasty right now. It's just that now, the north and south barriers have fallen. If our army advances again, the risk will increase a lot, and it is very likely that it will be attacked by the Ming army from the north and south! ”
Shuoto and Adali still had to argue, but Dolgon turned around, "Staying in Beijing is a dead end, but there is still a chance of life in the north." The two of you will send someone to summon my Eight Banners people, and if you are willing to return to the grassland or Liaodong with me, you will assemble outside the Xibian Gate this evening, and we will set off together at midnight! ”
Shuoto and Adali were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly went to contact them. But Dolgon stopped them, "This march is expensive, tell everyone, the old and weak, women and children will stay in Beijing, the Han people have always flaunted themselves as benevolent soldiers." It is expected that it will not be difficult for women and children. What this king needs here is a man who can fight, all conscripted into the army from the age of fifteen to fifty-five, bring their own dry food, blades, and war horses, and assemble all of them outside the Xibian Gate at midnight. ”
"Whoever dares not to come, my two red flags will definitely wipe out his entire clan!" Shuotuo and the two respectfully hit a thousand. Murderously turned away.
The city gate of Xibian Gate was wide open, and Bamburshan and Luo Mudai followed the soldiers and horses of the two red flags into the city to recruit the Eight Banners. Summoned the children of the Eight Banners to enlist in the army, and the Jingshi, who had finally stopped, made a noise again. The clans and ministers present all looked at each other, but now, even a resourceful person like Fan Wencheng had no choice but to return to the city to say goodbye to his family, pack his luggage and take his bannermen to the city honestly to gather outside the city and wait for the opening.
The two Yellow Banners' pro-army suffered heavy casualties. In addition to the upstarts who were promoted by Fulin, there are still more than 1,000 people left, and all of them have been received by the two white flags. Among them, only Boguoer, the king of Xiangjun, was temporarily left by Dolgon's side.
After explaining the matter, Dorgon returned to the carriage again, and ignored the princes and nobles who had come to greet him. just held Da Yu'er's hand in a daze.
Duoduo hesitated for a long time, but still jumped off the horse and walked to the carriage, "Brother, it's all my fault, if I hadn't withdrawn my troops rashly, the situation wouldn't have changed so ......badly!" ”
Dorgon shook his head, "You and my brother, I know exactly what you're thinking. Don't say any more of these things. It's all my fault when it gets to this point. Huo Wu, Nagu and others repeatedly advised in advance, but I didn't listen to it at all, so that today's catastrophe led to today's catastrophe, and Yu'er was ...... because of it. ”
Dolgon gently wiped away the tears that came out of the corners of his eyes, "You are for my sake, this is why you led the troops into Beijing, if you don't come, I may not be able to get out so easily, God's will is like this, what else can you and I say?" ”
"The ...... the twelve?"
Dolgon's heart is also a sour, the situation in Shanxi has been irreparable, the Han army has surrendered and rebelled, Yang Tinglin's army poured out, Azig has no way out, now only hope that he can break out of the encirclement, if he can fight a bloody way, maybe he can enter the vast Hetao area through Yulinwei, maybe the brothers will have a goodbye day. But now, the three brothers can only ask for their own blessings.
Dolgon turned to look at Da Yu'er's body, and the last image suddenly appeared in his mind.
Dolgon was crazy and moved away from the beams and pillars that were pressing on Da Yu'er, but Da Yu'er in front of him was already spitting blood from her mouth and couldn't hold on.
"Yu'er, Yu'er!" Dorgon hugged her cold body tightly, but could only cry out helplessly.
"I've been fighting, I've been fighting for so many years, what are you doing!" The big jade in her arms was like a whisper in a dream, and the voice in her mouth was low and clear. "In the end, my own son has betrayed me, Dolgon, tell me, is it worth it for all I have done?"
"It's worth it, it's all worth it!" Dorgon hurriedly replied, "You've always been by my side, as long as you let me do it, it's all worth it." I promise you, I don't want the throne anymore, I don't want any royal father regent anymore, as long as you stay by my side, I promise you anything! ”
Da Yu'er smiled lightly, but her eyes gradually closed, and her voice became softer and softer, "Send me back to the Horqin Grassland!" Although the Central Plains is good, it is my home! (To be continued......)
