Chapter 456: Dolgon's Soul Falls to the Prince River (1)
It was Dolgon who pursued the Jinzhou army.
The pain of losing a child made Hong Tai's condition worse, not only did the nosebleed that had stopped flow out again, but he also fell into a coma many times like Hai Lanzhu, this sudden situation left Abatai and Azig at a loss, and they didn't know whether Lu Dao should stay in Shenyang or pursue the retreating Ming army. They have become accustomed to Hong Tai giving orders, and now that Hong Tai has fallen, they have no idea, and they are panicking, but they really respond to the old saying that the dragons have no leader.
Dolgon proposed that a small number of men and horses should be left to guard Hong Tai, and the rest of the men and horses should immediately go south to catch up with the Ming army, his reason was that the Ming army was not good at field warfare, and if the Ming army was allowed to withdraw safely into Liaoyang City, it would be difficult to keep them. Moreover, Shenyang was captured by the Ming army, if the Ming army could not be intercepted, then what would Dajin rely on to make up for its vitality in the coming year. What's more, the Eight Banners now urgently need a victory to prove to the world that they are still stronger than the Ming army, otherwise, what would those naturalized Mongols and Koreans think? Once they felt that the Eight Banners were no longer invincible, the consequences would be much more serious than the fall of Shenyang.
Dolgon's proposal is correct, all along, the reason why the Eight Banners can dominate the Mongols and Koreans is that they are invincible to the Ming army, once the myth of the invincibility of the Eight Banners is broken by the Ming army, the Mongols and Koreans on the wall will definitely have different hearts, and those Han people will also be ready to move.
The only thing that could save the adverse impact of Shenyang being captured by the Ming army was a big victory over the Ming army, and only by showing the muscles of the Eight Banners that they were still mighty, those people did not dare to move lightly.
How many people are left in Baqier, how many are the Mongols, how many Koreans, and how many are the Han army?
Abatai and Azig are not fools, of course, they know the impact of the loss of Shenyang on the Eight Banners, and they also want to send troops to catch up with the Ming army, but due to Hong Tai's prestige in recent years, without Hong Tai's clear orders, the two still dare not send troops without permission, they are afraid that they will end up with Amin and Mang Gurtai.
The bodies of Daishan, Amin and Mang Gultai have been found, and looking at these three Baylor brothers who were surprised in Dajin in the past, Abatai and they really have ten thousand words, but they have no words.
In terms of the identity of the Eight Banners, Abatai and Azig are both Rao Yu Baylor, which is one level lower than Dolgon's and Shuo Belle, but both of them are Dolgon's brothers, and the two dare not send troops, and Dolgon does not dare to force them, and only one of the three thousand cavalry in Shenyang is his white flag, and the other two thousand are the two yellow flag soldiers and horses led by Hong Tai himself, without the unanimous consent of the Baylors, he Dolgon cannot command the people of the two yellow flags. Somehow, Dolgon now longed for Doren to come with his white-flaged cavalry right away, and with Doren's support, he seemed to be able to do something instead of being helpless here.
Things were so frozen, Hong Tai woke up twice, but each time the time she woke up was very short, and her body was so weak that she could hardly speak. Lang Zhong was busy for a long time, and it took a lot of effort to finally stop Hong Tai's nosebleed, but that's all. Azig privately asked Lang Zhong how serious Hongtai's condition was, Lang Zhong didn't know if Lu Dao had been warned by someone or if he really didn't know Lu Dao, and he didn't ask for a result after asking for a long time.
When Hong Tai woke up again, it was already dark, and when he saw the ministers of Baylor around him, Hong Tai said two things with difficulty, one was to send someone to order Haoge, who was still in Changshan to Shenyang, to rush to the sweat tent immediately, and the other thing was to order his most trusted warrior Ao Bai to store the jade seal of the country and his own Great Seal of the Mandate of Heaven that he had snatched from the Mongols.
These two orders gave Abatai and them a very bad premonition, as if Hong Tai was arranging the aftermath, and Hong Tai was very afraid of their brothers.
After saying these two things, Hong Tai fell into a coma again, and the atmosphere inside and outside the tent was tense, and a sad atmosphere began to appear in the Jin army.
The people with the two yellow flags have all moved, and the guards around the sweat tent are obviously much stricter than before, and the people with the two white flags are also faintly wary. In this regard, Abatai has no idea, if Hong Tai really can't pass on the throne to Hauge, he has no opinion as a brother, anyway, it is impossible to pass the throne to him. Azig complained, but not because of Hongtai's desire to pass on the throne to Hauge, but because he was angry that the people of the two yellow flags were wary of him. Dolgon, however, was moody, and did not seem to feel anything that was happening, and seemed to be very faithful except for sleeping, except for sleeping.
While waiting for Hauge to arrive, Hong Tai's condition did not worsen or improve, and the person was still in a coma at every turn as before, and the Lang Zhong had used up the ginseng carried by the army, but the effect was not too good, and these thousand-year-old ginseng did not make Hong Tai's condition better. However, for the people of the two yellow flags, it is the best news that there is no aggravation.
The reason why the two yellow flags have been able to press on the heads of the other six flags in recent years is not because they are personally led by Mrs. Hong, if Mrs. Hong is not there, and the new successor Khan is not a candidate for the support of the two yellow flags, then the two yellow flags will no longer have today's privileges. In order to keep their privileges, the two yellow flags must ensure that the inheritance of the khanate must come from the Hongtai branch anyway. This is no secret, and the people inside the two yellow flags are not shy about saying that Hong Tai is likely to fail.
The roof leak happened to be raining continuously, and the people who had gone to Fuling to check on it finally returned, and they brought back a piece of news that Abatai, Azig, and Dolgon did not want to hear—the Ming army had dug up their ancestral graves.
The Ming army not only dug up the tomb and robbed all the burial goods in the tomb, but also divided the corpses of Nurhachi and his great blessing Yehenara, and left filthy yellow and white things in the underground palace in the tomb, in addition, they burned all the buildings on the ground of the tomb.
Digging people's ancestral graves, this is a great shame for the descendants of people, Azig and Abatai hugged their heads and cried, everything that happened these days made them feel like the sky of Dajin was about to fall.
Dorgon was also weeping, how could a son not feel hopeless and angry that his father would be dismembered after his death.
No one dared to stop the cries of the Baylors.
Finally, I don't know if it was Hong Tai who woke up by himself, or if he was awakened by crying, forcing Ao Bai, who didn't dare to tell the truth, to tell the bad news about the destruction of Fuling, and immediately fainted.
Hong Tai never woke up from this coma, at least when Dolgon led his 1,000 cavalry of the White Banner out of the camp, Hong Tai was still unconscious.
