Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei have been in the army for more than ten or even decades, and they are also very clear about some of the bad things in the imperial court, it stands to reason that a county commander abandoned the county seat under his rule and abandoned the city and fled, if this kind of thing is changed in the Hongwu and Yongli years, it is not unjust to cut off the head ten times, but after the end of the Ming Dynasty, the atmosphere of officials protecting each other is too strong, as an official, as long as you do not touch the interests of other officials, even if you do the wrong thing, those officials will turn a blind eye to the big things and small things. After the county magistrate who abandoned the city and fled came back, as long as he flipped up and down, as long as he didn't stab Zhu Youzhen, the boss would definitely let him go with his eyes open, this kind of hello, hello, everyone's good thing has always been the specialty of civil officials.

Thinking of this, Yang Guozhu and the others were very helpless, and at the same time shook their heads and stopped making a sound, the water in the imperial court was too deep and muddy, and it was not something that they martial artists could afford.

Hu Dawei was rough and didn't know how to comfort people, so he could only pat Wang Xin on the shoulder and say, "At least you have saved a small life, which is much better than those people who died tragically under the Tartar knife." ”

Wang Xin also smiled bitterly and sighed in a low voice: "Yes, compared to those brothers who died in battle, I am already much luckier than them, what else is there to complain about, as for Qian County's order...... What should I do? ”

After comforting this defensive officer, Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei did not continue to stay, but led their troops to continue to advance towards Liangxiang and Shunyi.

Soon, Yang Guozhu and the others continued on the road with the army, but what made them feel strange was that they encountered very few Qing soldiers along the way, and almost all of them were mostly Qing army outposts, and the team almost never saw them, which also made them feel very puzzled, and they had no choice but to report to Yue Yang behind.

"Huh...... It's really strange, where did all those Tartars go? ”

Yue Yang, who received the information, was also puzzled. There are 100,000 Qing soldiers who entered the customs this time, and 100,000 people are not 100,000 rats, and it is impossible to disappear without a trace, what is going on?

When Yueyang was wondering, there was another news from the front that shocked Yueyang, that is, the Qing soldiers had begun to retreat, and many nights did not receive reports one after another, and the Qing army had withdrawn to Miyun and Huairou one after another, and they also carried a large number of looted people, food, gold and silver property to retreat outside the pass one after another, and in order to speed up the speed, the Qing army even threw away some bulky things.

"What the hell is Dolgon. Is snatching a handful like leaving? It's not like Tartar's style! "The current Yueyang is completely confused by the actions of the Qing army, according to the previous style of the Qing soldiers, they have always been unable to eat enough and will not withdraw the troops, how can he change his temperament this time? Not to mention Yue Yang, who was wondering, even the Qing soldiers who were happily grabbing were a little confused.

In Changping Mansion, the temporary nest of the Qing army, the city was occupied by the Qing army twice in two years, and the people in the city were also looted twice, young adults and women were either slaughtered or robbed, and there were only a few old and weak people left in the city except for the Qing army, and Dolgon's temporary residence was set up in the original prefect's yamen. It's just that this temporary line has been guarded by a group of elite regiments with yellow flags at this time.

In the largest hall, Dolgon sat in the middle of the hall, flanked by a group of Manchu generals. Dolgon's dress was different from the previous dress of Prince Heshuo, and he was wearing a dragon robe at this time. The front of the dragon robe, the back and the two arms are embroidered with a dragon, two dragons on the chest and back, and four dragons; two shawls embroidered with dragons; The sleeves are embroidered with a dragon, and it looks really extraordinary, and at this time, the princes and generals in the hall are arguing about the withdrawal of troops.

"Great Khan. We have just entered the Ming Realm for less than half a month, why did we withdraw our troops in a hurry, and the warriors haven't grabbed enough? "It is the Ao Bai who says this. The guy was looking at Dolgon at this time, looking seven dissatisfied and eight dissatisfied.

At this time, Ao Bai is not the small Jialazhangjing five years ago, but now he is a capital with a white flag, and he can be regarded as a well-known figure in the Qing Dynasty. It can be said that in addition to the yellow and yellow and blue flags in his hands, only Dai Shan's red flag and red flag in the remaining five flags show their support for him, but the white flag and the inlaid white flag and the blue flag are hugging together to advance and retreat, which makes Dolgon very troubled now.

Seeing that Ao Bai dared to stand up against himself so arrogantly, a trace of murderous intent flashed in Dorgon's eyes, and then he just said lightly, Yesterday the front sentinel sent a message that traces of Xuan's army were found around the capital. Do you have a white flag named Qihara? According to the news from the outpost, he and more than 1,000 people under his command had been wiped out by the Xuan army the day before yesterday, and the news came from Jinggi in the Ming State that Emperor Chongzhen had ordered Yue Yang to personally lead a large army to rescue the capital, do you say that I can not order the withdrawal of the army?

"...... Uproar"

As soon as Dolgon's words fell, everyone around them was in an uproar, and the faces of many Qing generals had changed color in unison. Today's Manchu Qing Dynasty to the emperor's order generals, many people have heard that "Yue" has changed color, as soon as they heard that Yue Yang personally led the army to help, their hearts immediately beat a small drum, and Ao Bai, who had just stood up to question Dolgon's order, also changed color slightly.

Seeing the looks on the faces of the people below, Dolgon sneered in his heart. Since he ascended the throne, he has tried to grasp all the military power in his hands, but he has been opposed by some generals, especially the original generals with yellow, yellow and blue flags.

Looking at Aobai, whose face changed slightly, Dolgon said lightly: "Aobai, I know that you don't have enough things to rob with the white flag, so it's okay, I will allow you to stay in place for another three days with the white flag, and then return to Changping to join the army, what do you think?" ”

"What? Staying where you are for three days? "Ao Bai was stunned for a moment, are you trying to pit my rhythm, if you are surrounded by the Xuan army for another three days, isn't it looking for death?

Ao Bai, who had a rough temperament, was suddenly angry: "Great Khan, all the troops have withdrawn, but let Weichen's soldiers and horses stay, won't this put the soldiers with white flags in danger?" ”

"Bang ......"

Dolgon slapped the table and shouted angrily, "You are the one who is dissatisfied with my will to withdraw the troops, and now I have allowed you to stay for another three days with a white flag, and you are still dissatisfied. How? Is this how you treat my will? Or do you think I really can't kill you? ”

Looking at the trace of murderous intent flashing in Dolgon's eyes, Ao Bai realized that he had fallen for Dolgon's tricks. Just now, he didn't tell everyone that he found out that Xuan Dajun had dug a pit and waited for someone who didn't deal with him, and he jumped into it stupidly, he was really stupid.

Looking at Ao Bai who was stupid on the spot, Dolgon's eyes showed an irrepressible murderous intention, and he shouted in a low voice: "Come on, drag Ao Bai out......"

"Great Khan...... Keep people under the knife! ”

Seeing such a situation, more than a dozen generals and ministers who had been friends with Aobai, such as Abatai, Turge, Sony, Turai, Xihan, and Gong Adai, quickly stood up and knelt down in front of Dolgon.

Sonny hurriedly said: "Great Khan, Ao Bai is just a momentary quick talk." He was not disrespectful to the Great Khan! ”

"Hehe......" Seeing this situation, Duoduo sneered on the side: "Everyone has also seen the matter of suitable talents, no matter what the Great Khan says, he is all against it, if this is not disrespectful, you sue me, what is respect?" ”

Rao Yu Belle Abatai also stood up and said: "Ao Bai is a rough man, he didn't know that the Xuan army had already sent troops beforehand, so he offended the Great Khan, and the so-called ignorant is not to blame." Let the Great Khan go around him. ”

"Huh...... It's not strange for someone who doesn't know. Duoduo continued to fall into the well and said: "Speaking of which, next time anyone offends the Great Khan again, as long as they use a person who doesn't know, they can get away with it?" ”

"This ......" Abbatey didn't know how to speak at this point, but he only knew one thing. That is, no matter what, we must save Aobai's life today, Dolgon was originally in a position of righteousness, their strength is already weaker than Dolgon, and if Aobai is killed again, their situation will be even more worrying.

Come to think of it. Abatai gritted his teeth and knelt down and sobbed: "Great Khan, the ministers are willing to guarantee Aobai, you will go around him!" ”

"Great Khan...... You've gone around this experience. Abatai knelt down. Turk, Sony, Turai, Xihan, Gong Adai and others also knelt down one after another, and for a time there was a large number of kneeling in the lobby.

Dolgon looked coldly at the people kneeling in a row below, but a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he stood up and said to everyone: "Okay, all Aiqing should be flat." I was just in a hurry, how could I really kill Aobai. But well...... Ao Bai is indeed disrespectful to me in the first place, and it is impossible to say that he is not dealt with, so let's do it, I will now remove the position of Ao Bai with the white flag to make an example, but allow him to make meritorious service for his crimes, and if he makes another meritorious service in the future, let him be reinstated, what do you think? ”

As soon as Dolgon's words came out, everyone in the hall gasped, this move was too powerful. first dug a pit for Ao Bai to jump in, and then pretended to punish Ao Bai severely, he knew that his party would not wait to see Ao Bai executed, and then immediately changed his tone to remove Ao Bai from the position of commander of the white flag, this move is too powerful. It's just that what else can they say now, and the crowd had to kneel on the ground and helplessly say in unison: "The ministers obey the order!" ”

In this way, Dolgon just simply brushed his wrist and removed the position of leader of Aobai, which was the first time that Dolgon had exerted his authority since he ascended the throne, which also made people see that Dolgon was not inferior to the wisdom and skill of Huang Taiji, and Daishan, Du Du and others, who had been silent on the sidelines, also felt Dolgon's ruthlessness for the first time.

After dealing with Aobai, no one dared to question Dolgon's order to withdraw the army, and as the voice of doubt disappeared, 100,000 had already prepared for the Qing army to withdraw outside the pass in batches, which happened in just a few days, so that Yueyang, who hurried to Changping, was also a little unprepared.

"We're all underestimating Dolgon, this guy is going to grab a handful and leave!"

Looking at the empty Changping City, Yue Yang could only helplessly sigh at Dolgon's cunning, this time Yue Yang sent a total of 70,000 troops, of which the materials consumed were even more sea, but only achieved the result of destroying less than 2,000 enemies, which also made Yue Yang feel disappointed.

"Young Master, what should we do now? Do you want to keep chasing? Shunbao on the side also asked unwillingly, now in the entire Xuan army, he is the only one who dares to call Yue Yang like that. In Shunbao's opinion, the title of "young master" is the testimony that he has followed Yue Yang since he was a child, and not everyone can call Yue Yan that.

Yue Yang sighed lightly and shook his head: "No, this time we are not ready to go out of the customs to fight, if we go out of the customs without authorization, it will inevitably cause a shortage of materials, which is definitely not a good thing for us." We're still ......."

Before Yue Yang's words were finished, he heard someone from behind him report that a team of people had come from the capital, and it was said that they had come to announce the decree.

"What the hell does this emperor want to do? Even the holy decree does not stop, and let no one live! Shunbao on the side muttered a little dissatisfied, but was glared back by Yue Yang.

When Yue Yang saw the comer, he was taken aback. It turned out that it was Chongzhen's personal eunuch Wang Chengen who came to announce the decree this time. Although this Wang Chengen is no longer in the position of the chief eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, no one has ever dared to underestimate him because of this, because if you talk about the person who is the most loyal to Chongzhen and the most trusted by Chongzhen, it is estimated that there is no second person in the entire Ming Dynasty except him.

"Princess, I haven't seen you since I said goodbye to the capital a few years ago, and it looks like you're still in style! It's just that what's the big deal with your personal rice paper? Seeing Wang Chengen, who was supported by more than a dozen brocade guards, Yue Yang strode over and greeted him with a smile.

Wang Chengen smiled faintly at Yue Yang, and said softly: "Marquis Yue, I don't know if I can find a secluded place, our family has something to discuss with you." ”

"Absolutely!" Yue Yang was slightly stunned in his heart, and then nodded. Soon found a secluded room and sat down.

As soon as the two entered the room, Wang Chengen took out a letter from his sleeve and held it high and said solemnly: "Loyal and brave Marquis Yueyang listens to the order!" ”

"Here we go again!" Yue Yang sighed secretly in his heart, he still had to kneel down when he saw this thing before he officially turned against Chongzhen, and he had to kneel down two steps forward. But he was stopped by Wang Chengen.

"Marquis Yue, the emperor said that this will is the middle will, so you don't have to kneel down to listen to the will!"

"Purpose?" Yue Yang was a little stunned.

There is a Ming dynasty. The emphasis is on the coexistence of imperial power and vassal power in the world by monarchs and ministers, and the emperor's will must be stamped by the cabinet to be considered an official form, if the emperor does not go through the Zhongshu Province or the cabinet to issue the will. That is not a formal decree, which is also called a middle decree. Suizhou Chronicles. The Biography of Yuan Keli once said, "Keli said: 'The murderer dies, and the court law is also, that is, the courtier Gu Ke is out of it?' 'Already, if you get forgiveness from the will, you can stand up and not move. ”

"Princess, what the hell is going on, why did the emperor suddenly make a decree?" Yue Yang immediately felt that something was wrong.

"You'll know when you hear it!" Wang Chengen said helplessly: "Except for the emperor and several ministers in the cabinet, no one knows about this decree in the entire Ming Dynasty now, you can see for yourself." After speaking, Wang Chengen handed the decree to Yue Yang.

Yue Yang took the decree and unfolded it, and the first sentence on it read: The state has traitors, leading the Qing soldiers into the customs, so that the lives are ruined......

When he saw the first sentence, Yue Yang was taken aback. He then looked at it again, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and finally he thought that he was very bold and was frightened by the will of the Holy Decree, which was a fucking pit...... And it's a sinkhole dedicated to burying people!

After finally reading the decree, Yue Yang raised the holy decree in his hand and asked with an unkind face: "Prince, are you sure that this is the holy decree written by the emperor himself?" ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly said: "This can still be fake, this is indeed written by the emperor himself." ”

"But how did Ben Hou see all the things that hurt people." Yue Yang raised the will in his hand slightly angrily and shouted: "Let Benhou lead his troops to take over the Liaodong defense line, do you know how many people will die here?" Ben Hou can use this thing to cut you first and then play! ”

Yue Yang has brought soldiers for so many years, and there are more than 100,000 people killed by his hands, when the killing intent in his heart emerges, if the person with weak willpower will easily collapse, although Wang Chengen is not so unbearable, but he is also scared.

Wang Chengen was so frightened that he waved his hands like wheels: "Lord Yue, you can't wronged the slave maid, the slave maid even has the courage to fake the holy decree!" This is indeed written by the emperor himself! Long live the Lord said, the Liaodong Army colluded with the Tartars to privately release the Qing soldiers into the customs, and its crime should be punished, and the crime is unforgivable, if the Hou Ye doesn't believe it, he can ask the emperor in person! ”

Looking at Wang Chengen, whose face turned blue, Yue Yang also knew that this holy decree was true. Yue Yang was also very puzzled about the fact that the Qing soldiers suddenly broke through the pass and rushed into the pass, because he had lurked in Shengjing in advance and did not receive any news, which was really abnormal, and after seeing Chongzhen's will to him, the doubts in his heart were relieved, and the feeling was that the Liaodong army had secretly released Tartars into the customs!

It's just that Chongzhen asked him to take over the border defense of the Liaodong Army in his will, and this matter has both advantages and disadvantages, if it is not good, it will cause an uncontrollable situation. (To be continued......)
