The Empress Dowager Su Tai was afraid that her son would still have to compete with Houjin, so she further persuaded him: "This Huang Taiji, I think it is much more powerful than Nurhachi, he has now won over all the Mongolian tribes, and even your uncle, uncle, and several brothers have fled to him. Judging by his current situation, he has to unify Mongolia, and we have become the biggest obstacle to his reunification of Mongolia. For what? It's because of the troublesome jade seal in our hands. If we can't get the jade seal, Huang Taiji will not let us go, no matter where we flee, he will chase and kill us with all his might. It is simply impossible for us to bring back the Mongol ministries. Rise like the phoenix? It's a pipe dream, we can't touch an egg against a stone. ”

After saying this, Ezhe was deflated, and the 100,000 army of his father Khan was still completely defeated, and now there are only more than 2,000 households and more than 10,000 people, how can he confront the Jurchen army.

After coming out of the account of the Empress Dowager Sutai, Ezhe gathered several old ministers left by his father Khan together and talked about the Empress Dowager's idea of returning to Jin.

The old minister Odos, the head of the main battle faction, refused when he heard it: "Young master, the words of the queen mother are the words of a woman who has lost her country, and you must not listen to them." I Chahar is the descendant of Genghis Khan, has been hundreds of years, holding the jade seal of the country, Mongolian departments have always taken us as the symbol of Mongolia, Chahar is dead, then Mongolia is dead. Now, some tribes are forced by the power of the post-Jin power to surrender, but they are secretly in contact with us, and they are always hoping that we can regain the glory of the past. The ancestor Genghis Khan rose up in the difficult river, died nine times, there were thirteen wings of defeat, and there were many mountains covered with dust, but the ancestors relied on their indomitable spirit, more and more frustration, and finally founded the Great Yuan Empire.

The same is true of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, who was killed by the overlord of Chu many times and escaped alone, but finally fought in Jiuli Mountain, eliminated the overlord, and established the Western Han Dynasty. Throughout the dynasties, all the masters of the hegemony have gone through hardships, and the so-called great responsibility from heaven is also a person, and they must first suffer their minds and work their muscles and bones. Today, although we are in a predicament, as long as we follow the will of the first Khan, lie down and taste the courage, Lianming refuses money, and deal with Huang Taiji on the grassland, we will definitely rise again! The old minister Totoro also persuaded with tears, but what he moved out was the story of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, whom Ezhe longed for very much.

Ezhe was still young after all, and when he heard these words, he couldn't help but feel angry, nodded and said: "Yes, I am a golden descendant of Genghis Khan, as long as I persist, our Mongolia will definitely rise again." The matter of gold reduction is over! ”

Due to the strong opposition of several old ministers, the matter of reducing the gold was temporarily put on hold, but the rumors that the Empress Dowager Su Tai wanted to return the gold soon spread, causing the military to be unstable.

On this morning, Ezhe was eating in the tent of the Empress Dowager Sutai, and suddenly a guard broke into the big tent in a panic and reported: "The Empress Dowager, the young master, it's not good, the Empress Dowager secretly left with 1,500 households, saying that she was going to cross the Yellow River to join Houjin!" ”

When Ezhe heard this, his face turned white, and he stood up angrily, and said angrily: "Father Khan just died, why did she do this!" ”

The Empress Dowager Sutai was also stunned, and the Chahar, who was the dominant desert in the past, is now less than 3,000 households, but the bag has taken away 1,500 households at once. This bag is too desperate to do things, how is this good, how is it good!

In a hurry, the woman's tears flowed.

Er Zhe was furious, grabbed his helmet, and ordered left and right: "Gather people and horses, follow me to chase them back!" ”

The guards were busy blowing the trumpet to gather people, but the Empress Dowager Su Tai hurriedly dissuaded Ezhe from chasing, she said bitterly: "Forget it, let her go, what if you catch up?" Fighting each other? If we really fight, the outcome is unpredictable, besides, let's just do it, what if we fight out? ”

"Mother, alas!"

Ezhe still insisted on chasing, and he couldn't withstand Su Tai's repeated persuasion, so he had to give up

After Lin Dan Khan crossed the Yellow River and fled to Qinghai, Huang Taiji personally led a large army back to the division, and after learning the news that Lin Dan Khan died of illness and Ezhe succeeded to the throne, he immediately asked Dolgon to lead two white flags and 10,000 Mongol troops to search for the whereabouts of Ezhe and Yuxi. Huang Taiji's eldest son Haoge, Daishan's eldest son Yue Tuo, and third son Sakhalian also served in the army.

To find someone in the desert, it is simply looking for a needle in a haystack, Dolgon led the troops to search in the desert for more than 20 days, and still did not find the whereabouts of Ezhe, in this regard, he was really a little at a loss, so he summoned Yue Tuo, Sakhalian, Haoge and others to discuss: "So far Ezhe has not moved at all, the army can't run around like this aimless, how can you find Ezhe, how can you talk about it?" ”

These were all young generals of the Dajin Kingdom, and although Dolgon was an uncle, he was younger than them. Dolgon was thirteen years old, Sakhalian was eight years old, and Haug was three years old. Among them, Yue Tuo had already received the red flag as early as the Mandate of Heaven, experienced a hundred battles, and was one of the most powerful young generals in Huang Taiji. But Yue Tuo really didn't have any good ideas for such a thing as finding someone, but when the boss asked, he couldn't help but speak, so he said: "Yes, we are looking for it so ramblingly, when do we have to find it?" ”

Hauge proposed, "If you can't do it, you can go and find it separately?" ”

Dolgon shook his head and said, "No, we only have more than 20,000 horses, if we act separately, each team will become a thousand, and no one knows what kind of attitude Ezhe has now." As King Khan said, they are trapped beasts, mourners, in case they meet, they will move, and they must not divide their troops for fear of suffering. ”

Yue Tuo also thought that he could not divide the troops, so he said: "Then send some more sentries and go to the place where the water and grass are abundant." Where there is water and grass, there must be nomadic Mongols, and from them, you may be able to get some news. ”

The idea was good, and Dolgon immediately said, "Just do as Yue Tuo says." He ordered his personal guard Sunahai: "You immediately give an order, and then send another five hundred soldiers, each of whom is organized into a group of five, and look for them separately, and our army will follow closely behind." ”

Yue Tuo nodded and said: "In this case, it is a hundred groups, open the big net and push it forward horizontally, even if it is a mallet, it can't escape our eyes." ”

Sakhalian smiled and said, "For now, we can only hope that Ezhe is a good mallet." ”

After another month of searching, the army marched to the western Rajurg, and the sentinel brought back the exciting news that Lin Dan Khan's wife, the Empress Dowager Nangnan, led a crowd of more than 1,500 households slowly coming from west to east.

Hearing this news, Dolgon let out a long breath and said happily: "Finally, there is some news, well, fifteen hundred households, at most five or six thousand people, but the number of soldiers will not exceed two thousand, let's eat this bag first." ”

Yueto, Hauge and Sakhalian also agreed.

Dolgon immediately ordered: "Yuetuo, Hauge, each of you will lead 3,000 men and horses to outflank from both sides, and I and Sakhalian will lead 4,000 men and horses to meet them head-on. ”

The arrangement stopped, and the army marched westward separately, and after walking less than ten miles, he saw a large group of men and horses in front of him, wriggling in this direction. Dorgon ordered the advance to be halted and ordered the flanks to complete the outflanking first. At this time, he saw more than ten horsemen coming out of the team of the Empress Dowager, and went straight to Dolgon's Chinese army, and shouted loudly: "We are ordered by the Empress Dowager to come to submit." ”

Dolgon hurriedly rolled his saddle and dismounted, and came to them, and said with great joy: "I have found you, and the king of Khan has already learned that you are coming to submit to you, and he is afraid that you will be cut off from food and grass, so he has ordered us to come to meet you." Is the Queen Mother good? ”

The leader of the general glanced at Dolgon and asked cautiously, "I don't know who the general is?" ”

Dolgon Ha Lang smiled: "This general Dolgon." ”

When the visitor heard this, he was shocked and hurriedly knelt down: "The last general will see General Dolgon." A dozen people fell to their knees.

Dolgon said, "No need to be polite, please get up quickly." ”

"General, please look, the Queen Mother is here."

Dolgon looked west, and saw the Empress Dowager in front of him, and a Chahar soldier on the left and right, holding a thick book, was slowly walking towards him. Dorgon strode forward to meet him. The Empress Dowager Nang led the soldiers to kneel on the ground: "The mourning family has heard the name of the Khan of the Dajin Kingdom for a long time, and now he has led 1,500 households to return to obedience. ”

Dolgon also knelt down: "The Queen Mother, please get up, this can not be done, absolutely not." After a round of greetings between the two sides, Dolgon was so happy that he shouted: "Set up camp, set up a banquet, and welcome the Queen Mother." ”

As a Dolgon, there is no need to bow down to the bag, but after the Dajin established by Wanyan Aguta was destroyed by Genghis Khan, the Jurchens became a tribe of Yuan. In the eyes of the Jurchens, Genghis Khan was a supreme god, and the descendants of Genghis Khan were also very noble in their eyes. In the Later Jin Kingdom, Zhu Beldo married a Mongolian woman, on the one hand, because Huang Taiji implemented the policy of uniting Mongolia, and on the other hand, because of the noble identity and bloodline of Mongolian women, they were all proud to be able to marry a woman of Mongolian golden blood. Therefore, Dorgon bowed down to a woman who had come down.

After learning the whereabouts of Ezhe from the Empress Dowager Nang, and knowing that the jade seal of the Dao Dao was on him, Dolgon couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and he said to the Empress Dowager: "I will lead the army tomorrow, and ask the Empress Dowager to write a letter to the Empress Dowager Sutai, explaining your current situation and persuading her to return quickly, how about it?" ”

"The mourning family should serve themselves, but there are a few old ministers around Ezhe, who are very stubborn, and would rather die than submit, and Ezhe is almost helpless against them." The bag is bent on investing in gold, and there is no psychological burden at all for selling his nominal son Ezhe.

"Then thank you Queen Mother, I can't personally send the Queen Mother to Shengjing, please forgive me, today's wine is not only a wine to catch the wind, but also a wine to eat, even if you don't pass it now, let's see you in Shengjing."

Dolgon was worried that the night would be long and dreamy, and he was afraid that Ezhe would be bewitched by a few old ministers and flow to the north of the desert, so he marched day and night, marching more than 200 miles in one day, and at sunset on the fifth day, the army arrived at Toritu. Dolgon raised the account again: "After a lot of hardship, we finally found Ezhe, and the jade seal is in his hands. In the Tori map, there are only more than 1,000 households, and there are only 1,500 soldiers who can fight, and the art of war talks about ten rules to surround it, take advantage of this fog, quietly surround it, and never let a single person escape from the city. ”

Haoge was troublesome, he shouted: "Uncle Fourteen, I don't think I'll stop doing anything, rush in, kill him by surprise, and take the jade seal." ”

Dolgon smiled and said: "It's too risky to do this, I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, if we really come to ruin the seal, we will become sinners in the Dajin Kingdom." The king of Khan has explained that unless it is absolutely necessary, he cannot use the army to add up and go to the army to fight, or let them take the initiative to hand it over through peace talks. ”

Haoge said with some unease: "The problem is that those bastard ministers are in control of the situation, can they negotiate?" If you don't do it, you will be startled. ”

Dolgon smiled with full confidence: "Have you forgotten the battle of the Great Ling River?" How about He Kegang? Wasn't it killed by the people and soldiers of the city? The little Toritu has no city or fort, not even a fence, no more, and it will be self-defeating if it is encircled for ten days or eight days. ”

Yue Tuo interjected: "Fourteenth Uncle, while we are surrounding, we can send people to persuade them to surrender and urge them to divide and disintegrate. ”

Dorgon glanced approvingly, "What I said is exactly what I mean. Nan Chu, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Su Tai, is in our army, and tomorrow, I will meet Su Tai with him. ”

The three of them asked in surprise, "Sutai's younger brother?" Uncle Fourteen, when did you get such a baby into the army? ”

Dolgon smiled: "Before the expedition, I ordered Darhan and Angkun Du to count all the lists of those who are related to the Empress Dowager Sutai and Ezhe, and the first one on the list is: Nan Chu, the brother of the Empress Dowager Sutai. This person is a baby bump, and he will definitely be able to use it when negotiating. ”

Sakhalian lost no time in patting his ass and said, "Uncle Fourteen has taken precautions, and the chances of victory are already in advance." ”

Yue Tuo said: "Uncle Fourteen is the commander in the army, how can a commander go to the enemy camp to persuade him to surrender, in case there is a mistake, we can't afford it." ”

Dolgon said: "Ezhe is the son of Lin Dan Khan, and the Empress Dowager Sutai is among them, so I will show respect by myself." As for the danger, maybe a little bit, but I'm heavily armoured, and it's not so easy to take advantage of me, and besides, there is Nan Chu, I'll take Suna with me. I think they won't and won't dare to do it unless they have to. Even if there is a real change, I and a few guards with me will be able to resist for a while, and you are close at hand, so you can respond immediately. "Dolgon is a master of art and boldness, and he wants to be in the limelight because he has no soldiers and horses in the Ezhe Division.

Yue Tuo was still not at ease, he persuaded: "It's better for me to go, if you let the fourteenth uncle go, the king of Khan won't scold us to death if he knows it." ”

"Don't fight, it's more conducive for me to return the jade seal to gold."

Dolgon made the final decision, and the three of Yue Tuo saw that Dolgon had made up his mind, so they had to acquiesce.
