The Qing court's loss of Shandong is really disastrous news.

And it was the queen mother who invited Dolgon to Huai'an to preside over the overall situation.

Dolgon, who was lying on the hospital bed, was very glad that he went to Huai'an in time, otherwise the tens of thousands of elites of the Eight Banners in Huaiyang would be waiting for the entire army to be destroyed.

But many people don't think so, and those who have a heart only see that the regent of the Qing Dynasty personally went out and couldn't stop the offensive of the Ming army.

Eagles soar in the sky, knee-high green grass undulating with the hot south wind. The masters of the steppe are declining more and more, and the Immortal Heaven no longer seems to favor their people.

Ezhe rode on a tall black horse, and the cavalry around him formed a line, with no head in front and no tail in the back.

The guards pointed to the distance and shouted: "Great Khan, the messenger who went to the city of naturalization has returned"

The shouting pulled him back from his musings.

Three or four miles away, more than a dozen cavalrymen in gray robes were following the sweat tent cavalry. As soon as Ezhe's legs were forced, the black fierce horse under his crotch hurried forward a few steps.

The leader of the envoys came to the Great Khan Horse, turned over and dismounted and knelt down to pay respects.

Ezhe waved his hand: "What does Geriletu say?" ”

The chubby messenger replied dejectedly: "Gezhiletu said that he did not know where Zuo Ruo was, and that the Ming army had cut off all communication with Mongolia since it left the Hetao.

Ezhe tightened his eyebrows, and the black horse pouted his hooves uneasily.

He turned over and dismounted, and ordered the sweat tent cavalry beside him: "Rest here for a while" The guards chose a simple tent in the shade of a tree. Standing outside the busy crowd, Ezhe suddenly commanded, "Bring Tokbo over."

The cavalry of the brigade walked slowly westward like flowing water, and there was no change in the stay of the Great Khan.

The guards brought the clear spring water, and Ezhe sat in the newly built tent, sipping the spring water one by one, without saying a word, until a man with a dirty leather robe tied around his waist was left in front of him.

"Tokbo," Ezhe pointed to the carpet beside him. He took the dark yellow scoop from his own soldier and poured water over another empty bowl on the table.

Tokbo saluted respectfully, then sat down on his knees, stretched out his right hand and took the bowl full of the spring, and drank it with his head up.

"Khan, don't you drink?" In the days of his captivity, he could only eat hard cakes, and he did not taste mare's milk wine for a long time.

"If you drink too much, you will get confused" Ezhe ordered the guards to fill his empty bowl again, "Tokbo, we are all Mongols"

"The Mongols are all brothers, and since they are brothers, they should not hold grudges. The regent of the Ming Dynasty was once the brother of the Tumuts, and he is also my brother. I'm going to invade the western part of Shaanxi, and the Tumuts will accompany me? ”

Tokbo lowered his head in thought, he took a sip of spring water, and did not answer for a long time.

"Tokbo, you're not holding a grudge against me, are you?" Ezhe seemed to be smiling, and his eyes flashed with disdain.

"How can the villain hold a grudge against the Great Khan," Tokbo raised his head, "It's just that the cavalry in my tribe was taken away by Lord Zuo Ruo 1,500 people, and there are not many people left

"When, the eagle of Tumut has also learned to be afraid," Ezhe stretched his head forward, and the heavy breath in his nostrils brought out the heat, "The Ming Dynasty is going to recover the old rivers and mountains, and the good time for Tumut is coming, Ben Khan is going to attack Shanxi and give Zhai Zhe a big gift, isn't Tumut going to do it?" ”

Amur said: "Shanxi is full of fortresses, and we can't take a strong city, why did the Great Khan take such a move." ”

"In order to make amends to Zhai Zhe," Ezhe flicked his index finger lightly on the rough porcelain bowl, making a boring "poof" sound, "Doesn't Tumut want to invite the former Han Qianhu to return to the grassland?" ”

Tokbo saluted: "The Great Khan of Tumut is the Ombu Khan"

Ezhe was slightly stunned, and then laughed silently, "You go back, if Tumut is willing to go along, Ben Khan will wait for you outside the Victory Fort for three days." ”

Although the Mongols were not good at attacking cities, they could not defend well everywhere by the Qing captives on the more than 1,000-mile road from Hukou to Zhangjiakou. Moreover, the Qing troops in Shanxi are now mainly concentrated in the south of Taiyuan, and the Ming army on the other side of the Yellow River is strictly guarded. Naturally, the defense of the Great Wall could not have been so tight.

July.

The Mongol Great Khan Ezhe led the Chahar army to attack Shanxi from Deshengbao and invaded Datong, accompanied by Tumut cavalry.

After hearing that the Qing captives had lost Shandong, Ezhe adjusted his strategy in time, and he didn't know if it was still timely.

It's the hottest time of the year.

At noon, the avenue that should have been empty was crowded with fleeing people, and the Mongol invasion of Guannai was a disaster for the people of Shanxi. Wherever the Chahar people passed, it was the Han Chinese people who fell. The Jurchens hid in the fortified city and watched as the Mongol cavalry outside the city burned and looted.

In the Cining Palace in Beijing City, Da Yu'er took the emergency military information that had just been delivered.

"What a disaster," she gently placed on the table on her right, "what is the Lord Regent going to do?" ”

Zilharang bowed: "The regent will definitely say that when Azig returns to Shanxi, the Chahar people will withdraw, but Zuo Ruo, the governor of Shaanxi of the Ming army, will also follow." He expressed his indignation at Dorgon's rudeness to him in the military tent with a slight sneer, and said calmly: "Yesterday Sukh Saha entered the city, and the ministers talked with him all night, and said something very bad about the regent."

Da Yu'er's white fingers curled up: "What are you worried about?" ”

"The Regent's health is very bad" Zilharang raised his head, looked at the Queen Mother, and repeated: "Very bad"

"Sukh Saha? A first-class guard with a white flag? Da Yu'er muttered to herself, and suddenly ordered: "Spread Suke Saha"

Zilharan stepped aside.

This is the battle between the court, he doesn't feel that he has anything to do with Dorgon, they are all for the Qing Dynasty. In order to maintain the Qing Dynasty, he once stood on Dolgon's side to persecute Hauge, and now he will also stand on the side of the Queen Mother against Dolgon.

"Regent, you are sick and unable to support yourself, let go of what you should let go"

In about a quarter of an hour, four guards escorted Sukh Saha into the imperial city. After the defeat of Huai'an, all the guards of the Forbidden City had been replaced by people with two yellow flags.

Zilharang looked at the direction of the gate of Cining Palace, Suke Saha had broad shoulders and strong body, and his walking posture was like a black bear swaying in the Baishan forest. Who would have thought that such a rude-looking man would also have a seven-pronged heart.

"See the Queen Mother" The man with broad shoulders and strong body was prostrate on the ground.

"Sukh Saha," Da Yu'er's fingertips twitched unconsciously in the chair, "What's wrong with Dolgon?" ”

Suke Saha replied fluently: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, after the regent returned to Beijing from Huai'an, he has run out of oil and lamps, and he issued military orders in a coma and vomiting blood, and it is really difficult to take on the task of commanding a decisive battle with the Ming thief. ”

"Sukh Saha," Da Yu'er scolded, as if she didn't believe that this sentence came from the mouth of Dorgon's most trusted guard.

"Queen Mother, what the slave said is true." Sukh Saha shuddered. The Queen Mother's tone was not good, if his words reached Dorgon's ears, his family's rank would fall on the streets of Beijing.

Da Yu'er didn't want to continue listening, and ordered: "Sukh Saha, you go back to the barracks tomorrow, if there is any change in Dolgon's body, you can send the news to Beijing City"

“”

The guards escorted Suke Saha away, and Zilharang bowed his hand to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, the enemy is now, when it is broken, it will be broken, and when the Ming army attacks the city of Beijing, it will be too late." ”

"Who can be the commander of Dorgon?" Da Yu'er asked coldly, "Can the prince lead the army for Dolgon?" ”

"Abatai, Abatai can" Zilharang launched the person in mind.

Abatai was one of the Eight Great Manchu Warriors and Shuobeiler, a figure of equal status with Dolgon and Azig, and Bolo, who was now in charge of the heavy army in Gyeonggi, was his eldest son. The Eight Banners are the strongest with the two yellow flags and the positive white flags, and they are ordered to be the commanders, so they can win the support of the two blue flags.

"Let the mourners think again"

When Zilharang withdrew from Cining Palace, the stone lion at the door pulled a shadow a foot long to the east.

The samurai in the inner city held their chests and stomachs up, and they were the samurai who were selected to the palace. The Queen Mother can think again, but many people can't help it.

He knew that Sonny had gathered a group of people, and Su Quanquan was also about to move, and the Queen Mother could not remember, but the blood debt owed by Dolgon was something that many people could not forget.

Walking out of the imperial city two or three hundred steps away, his heart moved slightly, and he suddenly looked back at the majestic and magnificent Forbidden City. This place is very good, the Jurchens don't have the ability to build such a gorgeous palace, rob other people's things, and they have to return it after all.

"Let's go to the Hanchen Mansion and have a look."

In the past few months, no matter what happened outside Beijing, Qian Qianyi stayed in the mansion honestly, and endured Liu Ru's tireless walking around the Hanchen mansion that he was familiar with or unfamiliar with in Beijing.

There used to be some rumors that were very disrespectful to him. But the old husband and young wife are matched, and he can't control "Hedongjun", so he can only endure it, and he doesn't really mind in his heart.

"Master, master, the prince is here" The servants at the door ran towards the inner courtyard like a wind.

"Which prince?" Qian Qianyi came out in a panic to greet him.

Seeing Jierharang who got off the sedan chair at the door, Qian Qianyi hurriedly knelt down: "See the prince"

"Get up," said Zilharang, walking inside with his hands behind his back, and after leaving the palace, he went straight to this place.

"Qian Qianyi, the last time you went to Nanjing to negotiate peace, did Zhai Zhe have any intention of negotiating peace?" Jierharang sat on the chair that Qian Qianyi usually sat on, and Qian Qianyi stood with a bow.

"This ......"

Zierharang sighed and said, "If I withdraw from Shanhaiguan in the Qing Dynasty and promise to be a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, can Zhai Zhe be satisfied with such conditions?" ”

“…… You should be satisfied" Qian Qianyi didn't know how to answer, in the past few months, has the situation come to this point?

"This king is going to start playing His Majesty, let you go to see Zhai Zhe again, probe his tone, no matter what conditions he offers, you can talk about peace."

In Dolgon's state, the contradiction between the two yellow flags and the white flag was at stake, and Zilharang had completely lost faith in the war.
