Chapter 67 Alive

.The people's energy has turned to the temple of Martyrs and the treacherous monument. The matter about the prince has gradually cooled down. In the past, the prince was able to cause such a big wave in the capital because the emperor went out to war and suddenly there was no news. Whether it is the official or the people, they all need a backbone. If the emperor has something to do, the crown prince will undoubtedly be the best candidate to act as the backbone.

Now that the emperor defeated the Tartars, there is naturally no problem of backbone. No one knows that even if the prince is true, it is impossible to ascend the throne, and the people's attention will naturally fall.

The Jinyiwei Prison has always been imprisoned here. Compared with the Zhao Prison, although the place where the ministers are detained at the same time is not as that of Zhao Prison. Although the Zhao Prison has many doors and strict controls, it is just because the people locked inside are important officials in the court. Many people just temporarily angered the emperor, and maybe there will be a day to recover. Although they have lost their freedom, their treatment is very good. There is even a supply of wine and meat every day. The Jinyiwei Prison is completely different. It is gloomy and dark, and there are various torture instruments. Those who enter are said to have skinned even if they are not dead.

Therefore, the Jinyiwei Prison has always been a place that makes people feel scared. Whether it is officials or civilians, they are afraid of the Jinyiwei Prison. Some time ago, because the emperor went out to war, many cows, snakes, ghosts and gods jumped out in the capital. The Jinyiwei Prison was almost overcrowded, which made many people appreciate the gloomy horror of the Jinyiwei Prison.

After the emperor came back, most of the people who were only verbally happy and were not seriously guilty were released. This was not because the Jinyiwei suddenly became kind, but because these prisons were of other use. After the release of these people, the Jinyiwei prison immediately replaced another group of guests, making the Jinyiwei prison even more crowded. All the original single rooms were cancelled, and at least ten people could be blocked, and twenty people could be blocked. This group of guests was naturally the Qing army prisoners brought back by the emperor on the expedition.

Duoduo's surrender, plus the original prisoners in the battle, totaled nearly 4,000. When Duoduo surrendered, many people had been hungry in the mud for three days, and many were already weak. For these prisoners, whether they surrender or not, the Ming army would not take good care of them, and returned from Huai'an. Nearly a thousand people died one after another, and now the remaining 3,000 people are some strong and have survived.

Compared with the treatment of being locked up by more than 20 other prisoners, Duoduo and Oboi were treated better. Duoduo had only four people in his room, and in addition to Duoduo himself and Oboi, there were Li Rutai and Badali.

Li Rutai was the son of Li Yongfang. Li Yongfang was the first Ming general to surrender to the Manchus, so he was highly valued by Nurhaci. Li Rutai's wife was also a royal family girl. Badali was Korqin Khan and was named Prince Tu Xietu by Manchus. This small cell is complete in Manchu, Mongolian and Han.

Living in such a gloomy cell, Duoduo, Obai and Li Rutai were better. Although Duoduo was one of Nurhaci's favorite sons, he had suffered a lot. When he was born, Nurhaci had already achieved great success in Manzhou, and his troops were under tens of thousands of troops. Four years later, Nurhaci had already resented his troops and rebelled against the Ming Dynasty. He would suffer too much. In fact, he could not. At that time, everything in the Qing Dynasty was in the forefront of the founding stage, and Nurhaci often led troops.

Outside, Liaodong was short of supplies and everything was closely used by the army. Duoduo sometimes even had to hunt with his mother and dig wild vegetables to live. When he was just eleven, Nurhaci suddenly died again and his mother was forced to be buried with him. The three brothers were in a very difficult situation. At a young age, they had to work hard to fight and make contributions. It was common for him to lie on ice and taste snow. It was not until Dorgon became more and more appreciated by Huang Taiji, and Duoduo's situation improved.

Oboi was Fei Yingdong's nephew. Fei Yingdong followed Nurhaci in his early years and was the founding father of the Qing Dynasty. Oboi also joined the army since he was a child, following Huang Taiji to fight against various places. He made great achievements and naturally he suffered no less.

Because Li Rutai's father Li Yongfang was the first person to surrender to the Ming border general, Nurhaci treated him very politely. Not only did Li Yongfang marry Nurhaci's daughter as his wife, but his sons also mostly married royal daughter as his wife. However, Li Rutai was a Han native, and his background was destined to pay more than others to be recognized. At the age of twelve, he was the guard of Nurhaci. At the age of 16, he went to Chahar from Huang Taiji. Later, Li Rutai participated in the campaign of Korea, Jinzhou, Shandong and other places, and led the way many times and charged in the battle, which was greatly appreciated by Huang Taiji.

Among the four, only Badali was born with a golden key in his mouth. As the eldest son of Tushetuhan Obadi, he received countless attention from him as soon as he was born.

Korbi was originally powerful in Mongolia. In addition, he received support from Manchus after marrying him. The Korqin tribe was arrogant in the Mongolian grasslands and occupied the best grassland. He produced a large number of cattle, sheep and horses every year. He traded countless luxury goods from the Ming Dynasty and entered the hands of the upper nobles of Korqin. After Obba's death, Badali successfully took over the position of Korqin from his father. From the perspective of enjoyment, even the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were far inferior to him.

The Corbi tribe was strong and powerful. In addition, the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty is now Badali sister. According to Badali's own meaning, he just kept indulging in pleasure every day. He didn't want to come to send troops this time, but he was just as kind as his sister. He barely went to the battle.

Fulin was able to become emperor. Although it was because of the battle between Haoge and Dorgon. However, the support from the mother's Korqin land was also an important reason. Otherwise, everyone could establish Huang Taiji and other princes. The Qing Dynasty had a tradition of relying on the noble land of mothers. Haoge was the eldest son and had great achievements but could not become an emperor. It was not unrelated to the low status of his mother.

Among the many descendants of Huang Taiji, Bomuboguoer, the eleven sons of the land smaller than Fulin, is a strong competitor. Bomuboguoer's mother was once the concubine of Lindan Khan Didoro. She enjoyed a high reputation among the Mongolian tribes in the south of the desert. She herself was the daughter of Ezignoyan, the head of the Borjijit clan of the Abagai tribe. In the end, Fulin became emperor. Naturally, the weight of the Korqin tribe overwhelmed the Mongolian tribes in the south of the desert. For the current Empress Dowager Bumubutai, the greater the power of her mother's tribe, the more her status was consolidated. This time she went south to destroy the Ming Dynasty. It was a good opportunity to gain military merit. Of course, she was unwilling to do countless things. She just stayed in the rear and spent her days and wine. But she knew that this expedition was a complete defeat.

It was okay that he was escorted by Mingjun all the way. Badali was honest. After being locked in the Jinyiwei prison, Badali seemed to have suddenly become crazy. He slapped the prison door from time to time and shouted that he could give up a large amount of money to redeem himself. The other three people could not rest until Oboi could no longer bear it. After teaching Badali a lesson with his fists, Badali became honest and stopped shouting. But he still kept saying that he would let him go out from time to time. Seeing that it was not too noisy, the three people ignored it.

After being locked up for five or six days, no one came to disturb them except for the time of delivering food. Duoduo and the other three had to eat and sleep. Naturally, there would be no good food in the cell. Badali was frowning every time he ate. In the past, he would not even look at such a pig-food meal. After he was hungry, Badali didn't care about picking his meal. Although the second meal was still hard to swallow, he ate it clean.

After deciding to surrender, Duoduo's expectations for the Ming Dynasty became lower and lower. From the beginning, he believed that the Ming Emperor would treat him as polite as the Qing Dynasty to Li Yongfang. After all, where was his identity as Prince Yu? If he surrendered, he would be very shocked to the Qing Dynasty. However, after they were directly disarmed, Duoduo hoped that it was just a temporary distrust of the Ming Dynasty. Now he was imprisoned in prison and was not seen. Duoduo's request only hopes that the Ming Dynasty could finally let him go, even if he was given a free position, his thousands of his subordinates would be retained.

If Ajige had suffered such a failure, he would have committed suicide long ago. Duoduo was a smart man. He knew that only by living could he have hope. At that time, his father was just a slave to Li Chengliang. If he could not bear the humiliation, how could the Qing Dynasty be in the present?

When his mother died suddenly and was suppressed by the four major belles, who would have thought that today, all the power of the Qing Dynasty was almost in the hands of the three brothers. If they had not known to endure it at that time, their corpses would have been cold.

When he is alive, there is hope. If he wants to surrender, there will definitely be many people who oppose it. Sure enough, Tazhan, Yue Erdo and others would rather die than surrender. What surprised Duoduo was that Oboi was willing to follow, which made Duoduo feel more alert.

Oboi usually gives people the feeling of being a reckless man and looks down on the Han people the most. After entering Beijing, Dorgon, in order to make the Manchus feel the benefits of entering the pass, despite the opposition of many Han ministers, issued a land enclosure order, and included many lands that were obviously ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty imperial village. Although others did not take the lives of the Han people seriously and would kill people if they refused, Oboi enjoyed killing people. Anyone included in the land enclosure area of ​​Oboi was basically killed by Oboi.

Such a person was the least likely to follow him and surrender to the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect that he would have hesitated at all. Duoduo immediately realized that the image of Obai before was probably deliberately pretending to confuse others, and this person's forbearance was probably not inferior to him.

Because the three of them were thinking about each other and Abali was only yelling to go out, the four of them were locked up together for five or six days, and they rarely talked. Most of the time, except for Abali's voice, the prison was very quiet.

The prison cell creaked, and a beam of light came through the door. Duofeng, Obai, and Li Lutai all squinted their eyes and looked forward, and they were secretly wondering in their hearts that it was not the time to eat, and no one had ever come here at this time before. Could it be that the Ming Dynasty court's disposal resulted?
