387 The lonely lamp does not shine on the soul-returning person (7)
The city of Beijing is bleak, especially the Manchus in the inner city, who are in a panic all day long. It is just because of the strong adaptability of barbaric humans to environmental changes that they have not exploded. Although some families have packed up their things, bought food and coated them, and are preparing to return to farm outside the customs, the good days in Beijing are more than one day. Anyway, the ice and snow in the northeast must have not yet disappeared during this season, and it is not time to farm.
To take a step back, the Manchus are fishing and hunting nations, and are not as sensitive to the climate and solar terms as agricultural civilization. Even if they miss the spring plowing, they are not a big deal. At most, the harvest is worse and they will starve to death.
The real reason for the panic is that there is not much food in Beijing. Not only Beijing, but also after the canal was cut off, the food in the Fuzhou County of the Jifu Prefecture was already in a hurry. The military rations that the army went to fight last time had already begun to be collected from the people, causing the people of the Qing court to fall to freezing point. Many people took risks and became "rebels". It should be noted that these people watched coldly as Dashun replaced the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty replaced the traditional good people!
Originally, the residence of the Xin Palace, later the residence of the Eastern Palace, and the present Prince Rui Palace, the candlelight is bright at this moment. Dorgon, Suksaha, Tan Tai, Wu Bai, Aixinga and others sat around a table. There was wine and meat on the table, but it was still the way for Manchus to eat, but it was a bit more refined, which was a manifestation of the great fusion of the nation.
"Shaanxi has already settled down, and now we have to let the army enter Sichuan as soon as possible." Dorgon ate his mouth full of oil and said: "After entering Sichuan, collect grain on the spot, then conquer Huguang and send troops to Nanjing, we will completely cut off the Ming army's retreat!"
Suksaha and others did not answer, but felt that the master was thinking a little too much. If there were no Ming army entrenched in Shandong, Jiangnan might not be able to fight. However, now Shandong cannot be chewed here. Wouldn't it be that the army rashly advanced south? Isn't it that he was attacked on the enemy on both sides? He was just thinking about attacking the enemy on both sides, or even on three sides, and on all sides?
If you enter Sichuan but cannot completely eliminate Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, that is three sides; if you enter Huguang but do not attack Guangdong and Guangxi, it is four sides.
The Ming Dynasty is so big!
I don’t know if it was because of the heat of alcohol or because of the deficiency of both qi and blood, Dorgon’s face showed a sick flush. He ignored the coldness and worries of his important officials, and he still drew a blueprint to sweep the Ming Dynasty. Suksah and Wu Bai were Dorgon’s most trusted officials, and they were also two people who inherited Dorgon’s political and military heritage from the original historical time and space. At this moment, he could only smile bitterly in his heart.
As for the newcomers like Tan Tai and Ai Xinga who defected to him, they have lost confidence in Dorgon. Although most Manchus are still prone to being deceived by empty talk and big talk, when they reach the height of these two people, they pay more attention to actual interests.
——Don’t ask me what I can do for you, first of all, ask how much benefits you can give me!
This is the voice of Tan Tai and Ai Xing'a.
"Master Ai Xing, someone asked for a visit in front of you." A Goshha walked carefully behind Ai Xinga and said, "He is the Minister of War and the Banner of the Office of the Internal Affairs, Song Hongye."
Ai Xing'a hadn't spoken yet. Dorgon had already spoken and said, "Song Hongye ran here to find you at this time. Could it be that there is something important? Come in."
Nagoshiha breathed a sigh of relief. Since the master inside was going to summon the Han army bannerman, he had taken the door bag of fifty taels of silver and it would not be too hot.
Fifty taels!
If we include the division between the main gate and the second gate, the minister would give him 100 taels of 100 taels of 100 taels of 100 taels of 100 taels of 100 taels of 100 taels of 100 taels of 100 taels of 1000 taels of 1000 taels of 1000 taels of 1000 taels of
Suddenly, Song Hongye was invited into the flower hall where Dorgon hosted important officials. A series of eagle-like gazes hit him, making him hang his head involuntarily and look like a slave.
"What's the urgent matter?" Dorgon asked.
Song Hongye quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Master, the slave can only talk to the master in private."
"Nonsense! A real man must talk to others!" Dorgon slapped the table, his thin eyes narrowed into slits: "Is it something shameful?"
Song Hongye lowered his head, and the sweat beads on his forehead dripped on the ground, and soon the heat under the floor tiles evaporated and disappeared.
"Master. It's a secret matter." Song Hongye said: "It's not that I can't trust the few masters, but this matter is more important, and the fewer people know, the better."
Dorgon was not angry, and stood up and said, "Follow me."
Song Hongye settled down, stood up and looked at Ai Xing. He followed Dorgon to the side wing behind. Ai Xing Ai was a little regretful. He guessed that Song Hongye must have obtained an important secret. He wanted to tell him first, but Dorgon directly robbed him.
After Dorgon entered the side wing, he stepped back and said to Song Hongye: "Tell me."
"Master!" Song Hongye knelt on the ground: "Slave discovered a big event!"
Dorgon couldn't help but twitch his eyelids, and he tried to calm himself down, saying, "Say."
"There was a wave of traitors in the capital who conspired to assassinate the nobles of Manchus and assassinate important officials in the court, called the tyrants and righteous brave men." Song Hongye said.
——Finally! Finally! The Han people can’t help but rebel!
Dorgon's heart was beating, and he laughed twice to calm down and said, "Since you know, why don't you take action to get rid of it!"
"Master, the slave had originally ambushed two eyes and ears among this group of thieves, but unexpectedly, they were noticed by this group of thieves. Just an hour ago, someone found their bodies in Tonghuihe." Song Hongye said with regret.
Dorgon said coldly: "I have to teach you how to do this! I would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go! All neighbors check on strangers, and those who dare to shelter them will sit on the five neighbors on both sides!"
Song Hongye lowered his head and said, "Master, I can't kill them. Many of them are natives in Beijing. How can they catch people and kill people without evidence?"
There is no such thing as "strangers" in Beijing. If they don't show their daggers, who knows they are traitors? If they kill people without evidence, they will kill people indiscriminately. If they are really traitors, they will not catch them. Good people who were not traitors may also rebel.
Dorgon really wanted to yell loudly: Kill them all!
However, after all, he was not his father, Nuer Haci, nor his cousin Amin, nor his younger brother Duoduo... He ordered the massacre of the city, especially Beijing, which was the capital, which was a little difficult for him. What's more, Beijing is now a Manchu Beijing, and Emperor Shunzhi lived in the Forbidden City. The massacre finally made the Qing court lose face.
The last time the "grain collection" was promoted by the "Huangming Notice" and the world was well known. There were different voices within the Qing Dynasty, which forced Dorgon to come forward and explain: "The Han people are like sons, and my Emperor of the Qing Dynasty is like a father! My son is ignorant, and the father teaches a lesson. If the father says that his son will harm his son, is there such a reason in the world?" (Note 1)
Unfortunately, even the Manchus themselves think this explanation is unreliable. At least they never think that the Han people are sons. If they are sons, they have to give food, clothing and marriage. Are those Nikans worthy? Nikans are just Aha, a talking animal.
However, no matter what, from the violent incident on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Dorgon also felt the pressure of "public opinion" and did not intend to take the risk of losing the hearts of the whole world and carry out another cleanup.
"You have a solution!" Dorgon asked Song Hongye with a cold face.
Song Hongye said: "The slave wants to ask the master to be more vigilant, and at the same time ask the infantry commander to strengthen the vigilance of the capital."
Dorgon was about to speak when he suddenly heard a sound of explosion, like a muffled thunder, but the earth shook.
"Earthquake?!" Dorgon shouted out.
Song Hongye was mixed with all kinds of feelings and said to himself: Finally here.
The Zheng Palace on the south side of the Forbidden City is close to the palace and can also be regarded as an annex to the palace. In history, it was Dorgon's palace and now it is Jirgalang's mansion. It can be seen that being able to live here means that its owner has authority that is only inferior to the emperor.
At this moment, a ball of orange-red fire gushed out from the ground, and immediately swallowed up the main building on the surface. The heat waves rose, carrying the dust and rolled up high, forming a Ganoderma lucidum cloud that was darker than the night.
All old Beijingers still remember that such strange things happened in the capital during the Tianqi period and the early Chongzhen period - the big explosion between Wang Gong Factory and the new factory.
Dorgon soon ran to the yard, but found that the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and there were a few silk-like clouds floating in the sky. If it weren't for the noise gradually, everything would have been extremely ordinary.
"What the hell is it!" Dorgon yelled.
Soon after, the family members who were inquiring about the news came back and knelt down to report: "Master! It was the thief in Prince Zheng's mansion that was blown up!"
"It's exploded?" Dorgon was quite shocked.
"Yes, master, the entire bedroom was blown away." The servant blew sweat on his head, not sure whether he was anxious or frightened.
"Song Hongye!" Dorgon roared.
Song Hongye had already rolled and crawled out, kneeling behind Dorgon to wait for his death.
Dorgon said angrily: "Okay! OK! The thief's claws touched the edge of the palace. You actually knew that there was such a group of people! You did a good deed!"
"Master, please calm down! I'll go check now!" Song Hongye kowtowed repeatedly.
"Check? I think it's useless to keep you! Come on! I'll take it down and behead you! My wife and daughter are sent to Xinzheku as slaves!" Dorgon roared.
What Song Hongye was most worried about was that Dorgon was angry and killed himself without saying anything. So in the original plan, he first looked for Ai Xing, and then asked Ai Xing to talk about this with Dorgon. As the time is calculated, when the Zheng Palace explodes, Ai Xing will be responsible for Dorgon's anger, and he will be safe.
——But...how is it moving towards the worst direction?
"Master, please be kind to me! May I ask my servant to make meritorious contributions! I am loyal to the Qing Dynasty! May I ask my servant to be kind to me!" Song Hongye was dragged out by two strong Goshhas and shouted loudly.
Ai Xinga and others had already arrived after hearing the sound. Seeing that Dorgon was going to execute Song Hongye, they also felt something was wrong. After all, Song Hongye was a local snake, and even a strong dragon would not suppress him. If Song Hongye was killed at this time, there would definitely be another abnormal movement among the Han officials. And if someone changed his hand, he could find out the thief who exploded the royal palace? (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
ps: Note 1: This passage was originally said by Dorgon after the "Datong Massacre". Because there will be no "Datong Massacre" now, I moved here.
