Chapter 461: Back to Light (I)
After Dolgon's death, Hauge and Duoyi, who had led the army south, disagreed over whether to continue the pursuit of the Ming army. Duo Yi insisted that he continue to pursue the Ming army south to avenge his brother, but Hauge said that he did not want to go south again, and he wanted to return to Shenyang.
The news of the Shenyang camp is being transmitted every day, and the news that comes is not optimistic, in the words of Lang Zhong, the Heavenly Destiny Khan is terminally ill, and it cannot be saved by the medicine stone, and there is a possibility of death at any time.
Hauge led the army south because he was afraid that Dolgon would really defeat the Ming army and win the throne with his military exploits, so he also had to go south and use the same great military exploits to tell his countrymen that his abilities were no worse than those of his uncles, nor worse than that of his seriously ill father Khan. Only in this way did those people with bad intentions dare not jump out and make irresponsible remarks and accuse themselves of not being qualified to succeed to the throne.
No one thought that Dolgon would die in the Taizi River, and when the battle report came, Hauge's first reaction was impossible, but he quickly confirmed that his fourteenth uncle who wanted to seize the throne was really dead - the Ming army did not take Dolgon's head, but piled up a snowman by the Taizi River, in addition to the top Dolgon head, there were also many bones on the snowman's body, which were put together one after another, as if the snowman really had bones in his body.
None of the 1,000 white bannermen who had traveled south with Dolgon fled, and their headless corpses were laid out two miles along the banks of the Prince River. All the corpses were frozen hard, and they kept chopping with knives. Many of the bodies were visibly mutilated, as if they had been mutilated after death.
The battle-ready Heshuo Belle Dolgon died, and the men of the two yellow flags breathed a sigh of relief in shock. Hauge is the same, no matter how the fourteenth uncle died and how miserable it was after his death, he had to consider one thing - whether he would go south.
If he continued to go south, even Dolgon was defeated by the Ming army, and Hauge had no confidence in whether he could defeat the Ming army, after all, he only brought 2,000 soldiers and horses. But if you withdraw your troops, you can't explain it to the people.
Hauge didn't want to be said that he was afraid of the Ming army, and he didn't want to bear a bad reputation for not wanting to avenge his uncle, although this uncle wanted to rob his nephew's things, but he was still an uncle after all.
The attitude of the fifteenth uncle, who was younger than himself, was there, and in the face of this white flag master, Haoge could not help but consider the other party's opinion. If Duoyi refuses to support his succession because he refuses to go south, it will also be a tricky trouble.
In the end, the two Yellow Banner ministers who went south with the army gave Hauge the best reason to withdraw his troops, believing that once Dorgon died, Hauge would have no reason to lead his army south, and all he had to do now was to stay by his arm's side and wait for Amma to breathe before succeeding to the throne.
If the eldest son of the Mandate of Heaven Khan was not by his side before his death, then no one could guarantee that the new Great Khan would be Hauge, and no one could guarantee that Abatai and Azig, who stayed in the camp, would not pretend to appoint another person as Khan.
Compared with the Khan's position, it was obviously much lighter to continue to pursue the Ming army and avenge Dorgon.
Amid the cursing of many interpretations, Haug retreated with the cavalry of the two yellow flags to the road from which he came.
As soon as the soldiers and horses of the two yellow flags left, Duoyi wanted to avenge Dorgon, and he couldn't help but face the reality that he only had 1,000 cavalry.
In the end, the helpless Duoyi could only return to Shenyang with Dolgon's remains
After Haoge rushed back to the camp in Shenyang, the two Yellow Banner generals loyal to Hongtai, such as Namutai, the Minister of the Yellow Banner, Turge, the Minister of the Yellow Banner, Shi Xifu of Zhangwenguan University, Jiala'e Zhen Wugena, Darhan, Wakda, and Ahsan, all rushed back. Seeing Haoge, the ministers of the two yellow flags hurriedly surrounded him, and Han officials such as Fan Wencheng and Bao Chengxian were also in the crowd.
Seeing that everyone's faces were different, Haoge knew that the road was not good, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and went straight to Hongtai's tent.
In the tent, Zhezhe, Bumu Butai, and Toya, three of Hongtai's favorite women, were gathered around the bed.
Zilharang, Abatai, Azig, Yueto, Sakhalian and other beyles were also in the tent, and when they saw Haorg enter the tent, all the people had different faces. Zilharan was still the same as before, and there was no expression on his face; The brothers, Yue Tuo and Sakhalian, seemed to have a ghost in their hearts, and their eyes drifted a little; Abatai and Azig's gazes were clearly hostile.
Azig wanted to ask how the war was going south, and why Dolgon and Duoyi didn't come back, but when he saw Hauge going to Hong Tai's bed, he didn't speak.
Hong Tai on the bed was pale, her breath was weak, and she was still unconscious. The condition began to recur in the past two days, and the nosebleeds that had been stopped began to flow again. Just now, Lang Zhong finally used red medicine to stop the bleeding, and when the breathing of Heavenly Destiny Khan gradually increased, Lang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
Haoge looked at his father Khan sadly for a while, dragged a man and asked, "How is it, has my father's Khan disease improved?" ”
Na Langzhong said: "King Khan is seriously injured, and the servants have exhausted all means, so they can only temporarily stabilize their condition, but there is no way to completely cure it." ”
As soon as he heard that there was no cure, Haoge was anxious and asked Lang Zhong: "You can't think of ideas!" ”
Na Langzhong was a little afraid of Haoge, and said cautiously: "It's not that the slave doesn't want to cure the Great Khan, but the Great Khan's disease is caused by the Mongolian fight, and it is not difficult to cure it if it is conditioned for a period of time, but the Great Khan has traveled thousands of miles, and he has suffered from the cold breath, and he has been stimulated, and the disease has entered the bones and cannot be cured." ”
Haoge knew that what Lang Lang said was the truth, and he reluctantly let go of his hand and sighed. Na Lang Zhong was like Meng Dahe, and hurriedly withdrew from the account with the other two Lang Zhong.
After the Lang Zhong left, Haute greeted Zhezhe and the others, and several of the women cried so hard that their eyes were red. Hauge didn't know how to comfort them, and stood there speechless for a while.
Azig got up and asked Haug, "What about Dolgon, why did you come back?" The voice was a little unkind, and Zilharang frowned slightly when he heard this, while Yueto and Sakhalian were overjoyed.
Unfriendly to Azig, Haoge snorted slightly in his heart and said, "Uncle Fourteen died in battle. ”
"Dolgon is dead?!"
The people in the tent were stunned by the news, and Zilharang stepped forward to grab Hauge's shoulder and asked anxiously, "How did Dorgon die?" ”
Hauge didn't dare to hide it, and immediately told the story of Dolgon's death by the Prince River. Everyone gasped when they heard this, in addition to being shocked by Dorgon's death, they were even more surprised that the Ming army was so able to fight. Since the fight against Lao Khan, there has never been a death in battle with Shuobeile, let alone the annihilation of the whole army, and it has not happened together until now.
Shenyang was burned down by the Ming army, Fuling was called by the Ming army again, tens of thousands of women and children of the Eight Banners were killed by the Ming army, Dolgon died in battle, Hong Tai was seriously ill and about to die, is God going to abandon our big gold?
