Chapter 725: The Regent of the End (Part II)
The Qing cavalry went away in turn.
Until he saw the banner of the word "Ming" outside the city, which was more brilliant than the scorching sun, Meng Kang looked up to the sky and roared.
Shi Lang raised his arms and shouted: "The Ming Dynasty is mighty, the regent is mighty" Many people, intentionally or unintentionally, have forgotten that there is still a Longwu Emperor in the palace of Nanjing City.
The golden flag, the red flag and the cyan flag obscure the scorching sun. The dust in the sky, the neat and heavy footsteps, the heralds roaring back and forth, and the muzzles of cannons that seemed to contain devouring power, some of their leather boots were worn out, and some of them had unclean blood on their battle armor, like the spears and guns of birds
This is the real king
The people of Jinan have never seen such a Ming army, never.
"Master Wang is back" Zhang Tiaofu lay on the wall, tears flying. He was not excited, but suddenly remembered his brother who had died in battle.
In the sixth year of Longwu, in July, the regent of the Ming Dynasty led a northern expedition to recover Jinan and restore the entire territory of Shandong.
The thief Dolgon led his army away.
The gate of Jinan was opened, Zhai Zhe jumped into the city gate, and Meng Kang and Shi Lang greeted the generals of the righteous army.
The Ming army did not continue north, but assembled outside the city of Jinan to rest. One after another Ming troops gathered outside the city of Jinan, and the banners of the generals and general soldiers were dazzling.
Next year there will be more infantry and more firearms, and the army will need a lot of supplies. Every day, wooden boats carrying supplies travel back and forth through the canal waterways.
Liu Suifeng, the secretary of the military department, Zongmao, the secretary of the household department, and Yao Qisheng, the governor of Nanzhili, did their best to allocate supplies. The army regained its territory along the way, not only did it not get much capture, but also had to transport food from Jiangnan to relieve the victims in various places. During the Northern Expedition of the Imperial Court, it had been announced to the world that all parts of Jiangbei would be exempted from taxes for three years, and at least in these three years, it was necessary to use the taxes of Jiangnan to carry the burden of Jiangbei, and the pressure on the household increased sharply.
Every bit of change in Jinan was translated into a secret report sent to Dolgon's desk.
Dolgon returned to Beijing on his sickbed, and the Qing cavalry stood guard on the plains north of Jinan, ready to fight the Ming army to the death in Gyeonggi.
After a few days of recuperation, Dorgon's face was slightly bloodied. But he knew his own affairs, and in the quiet night when no one knew, he thought about the situation of internal and external troubles in the Qing Dynasty, and vomited blood several times.
Except for a few cronies such as Mu Zilun and Sukh Saha, no one knew that the body of the regent of the Great Qing Dynasty had not yet recovered.
The Qing troops in Henan were being ordered to retreat across the Yellow River, and after the loss of Shandong, they lost the protection of their flanks, and it was pointless to hold on to cities such as Kaifeng and Luoyang. He wanted to gather a large army and wait for Zhai Zhe to lead the army north from Jinan.
Outside Beijing, Tongzhou and Guide and other places set up Qing military camps, and the empress dowager and the emperor issued several decrees, but Dolgon insisted on not entering the city. He was physically weak, but it was impossible for him to let go of state affairs at such a time.
In this way, seven days passed, and at the beginning of the hour, the yang energy began to rise.
Dolgon sat in a large tent dressed in thin white clothes, having just finished drinking a bowl of gruel.
The curtain of the big tent shook, and Sukh Saha walked in lightly: "Lord, Zilharang came to pay a visit"
"Let Him In"
After a while, footsteps were heard outside. Zilharan stood at the door of the tent, and by the light of the curtain opened, he carefully examined Dolgon's piece for a moment before stepping in.
"Meet the prince" Since he returned to Beijing with the army, he was deprived of the command of the soldiers and horses and rushed back to Beijing.
"You came just in time, the Queen Mother and the Holy Messenger came over with several wills, ordering me to enter the city for an audience, but now the military situation is urgent, and the troops and horses are being assembled, you go back and tell the Queen Mother to convey my intentions, just say that after I defeat the Ming thieves in Gyeonggi, I will enter the city for an audience."
Dorgon said a lot in one breath, his chest heaving slightly, and his wheezing was heavy.
"The Lord Regent's illness is not yet cured," Zilharan wondered to himself, "but the doctors who treated him said that he was just in a hurry, and why he hadn't recovered all these days." ”
He didn't come today to beg for Dorgon and the Queen Mother, but with a mission.
"Lord" Zilharang knew that what he was going to say next would be a great irritation to Dolgon, and said in a low voice: "The meaning of the saint, we can't hold it in the pass
This sentence was like a needle pricked into Dorgon's heart. The bottomless pain made his chest churn again.
"Zilharang"
“…… Zilharang!" Dolgon's face turned pale, "Is this what the Queen Mother means?" ”
Zilharang bent over: "This is the meaning of His Majesty"
"Zilharang, you hear clearly, I, love Xinjue Luo o Dolgon, I will not exit the Shanhaiguan Pass even if I die" The sentence was cut into words and spat out from between Dolgon's lips.
"But ......"
Dolgon blocked Zilharang's words: "Is this king still the regent of the Qing Dynasty?" ”
"Of course it is"
"Stand down"
Zilharan did not dare to stay any longer. Dorgon looked at his back, his hands on the table, leaning sideways in his chair.
"If I had killed you in the grassland, I wouldn't have been in today's predicament," was his last thought in a vague state. He never thought it was his fault to give the order to shave.
"Lord, lord" The curtain of the big tent was lifted, and two figures rushed over quickly, shouting in panic.
When Dorgon woke up again, there were two men standing in front of his bed, Muzilun in green clothes and Sukh Saha in white clothes, who were his favorite generals in the white flag.
"Sukh Saha ......"
"The prince has woken up!" Two people surprised.
"Sukh Saha," Dolgon beckoned, "you enter the city of Beijing for me, and ask the Queen Mother and the Holy Lord for sin, saying that I am not feeling well, and the military situation is urgent, so I cannot enter the city for an audience." ”
The samurai dressed in white bent over.
"Zilharang, that person is stupid and insidious, you say to the Queen Mother, don't be blindfolded by that person's words"
Suke Saha bent down and said: "The prince is good at recuperating and recuperating, and the queen mother is wise and will know the heart of the villain." ”
Dolgon said to himself: "Hmph, I'm really blind, if I wasn't feeling unwell, I wouldn't have let Zilharang go to Huai'an to be the commander, even the dead Ao Bai is a hundred times stronger than him." ”
The lesion he had suppressed for a long time was provoked by that stupid person under the city of Jinan.
Suke Saha's heart moved slightly: "It turns out that the prince's health has long been bad"
The commanders of the Eight Banners knew that Dolgon was hiding in the regent's palace in the capital all the year round, and rarely went out, and there were rumors in the capital that the regent of the Qing Dynasty was in poor health, which was not confirmed until today.
Seeing that Dorgon had no other orders, Sukh Saha said, "Lord, I'm going," and turned around and walked out of the tent.
Dolgon said: "Mu Jilun, the herald ordered Chahan to lead the cavalry to the border of Jinan to intercept and kill the Ming army scouts, the Modong people took our armor, and it is time to help us."
The 4,000 cavalry of Modong entered the pass without a battle, and they were all members of the Queen Mother's clansmen.
