Chapter 233: Beauty Tricks (Part I)
Hai Lanzhu's death coincided with a fierce battle between the Qing army and the Ming army on the Songjin front. Huang Taiji got the news that Hai Lanzhu was seriously ill, left the soldiers in front of him, handed over the command to Dolgon, and rushed back to Shengjing day and night.
It's a pity that his beloved didn't give him a chance, and he died when he just arrived outside Shengjing City. Huang Taiji's grief can be imagined. He dropped out of the dynasty for three days for Hai Lanzhu, locked himself in the Guanju Palace all day long, did not eat or drink, and burst into tears.
Regardless of whether his feelings for Hai Lanzhu are sincere, or just influenced by Lan'er's fox charm, as an emperor, Huang Taiji treats a concubine like this, and such a behavior is embarrassing.
Huang Taiji's series of abnormal actions were naturally criticized by the courtiers. However, I understand what he did. In him, I saw the shadow of my father. There was once such an emperor who used his crazy actions to remember a woman. In their eyes, at this time, he was no longer the emperor, but the husband of this deceased woman.
Under the persuasion of the ministers, Huang Taiji reluctantly began to deal with government affairs. But he could no longer lead the army into battle himself, and he was overwhelmed by grief and years of hard work, and fell ill.
In this way, Dorgon became the absolute commander in chief on the battlefield, and his and Dord's two white flags became the main force on the battlefield. Dolgon's prestige in the army grew, and only Haug, who had the support of the two yellow flags behind him, could compete with him.
The form became more and more favorable to Dorgon, as the Emperor Taiji did not like his eldest son, Hauge, and trusted Dolgon more than Hauge. Dorgon no longer needed my help, and it made me feel very lost.
Hai Lanzhu has been buried, her funeral has come to an end for the time being, and I have finally returned to the palace to wait for Dorgon's triumph. These days, I always see Lan Er's sentimental, eye-catching eyes, and at the same time, there is also that eerie blue.
I couldn't figure out why this blue color appeared when Hailanzhu was buried, and what did it mean? I told Wu Wei my doubts through my mind, but Wu Wei had not experienced it personally, and he could not give me a definite answer. My gut tells me that it has to do with might. But blessing or curse, I can't know. Although I was still angry, I was still worried about him.
In March of the seventh year of Chongde, the Battle of Songjin ended with a complete victory for the Qing army. Since then, the whole of Liaodong has been under the control of the Qing Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has no land to defend outside the Shanhaiguan.
When Dolgon's division returned to the court, he not only brought back countless trophies, but also brought back many prisoners and generals. Among them, the most eye-catching is Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty.
A few years before Hong Chengchou, he was mainly responsible for suppressing thieves in the Ming Dynasty, and served as the governor of the three sides, the governor of Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Huguang, and Sichuan provinces. The army he led, known as the "Hong Army", was not as invincible as the Guanning Iron Cavalry, but it was also disciplined and brave at fighting. The most valuable thing is that Hong Chengchou has been suppressing thieves for many years, and he knows the terrain of the Central Plains well.
So Huang Taiji ordered that he must try his best to win over Hong Chengchou and recruit this person. However, Hong Chengchou came all the way, didn't eat or drink, just bent on death.
Regarding the blue color that appeared when Hai Lanzhu was buried, it will be revealed in the following article! ***
