Great time travel

Chapter 167
At the beginning of February in the seventh year of Chongzhen, there were still more than 20 Niulu left in Huaibei, and the two white banner soldiers and horses under Dorgon's orders.Moreover, most of the Niulu escaped many people. Only the five Niulu led by his uncle Abu Tai are relatively complete, because these people are the direct soldiers of the old Khan Nurhachi. After taking power, he was quite suppressed, so he naturally hated Huang Taiji deeply.

In addition, the miscellaneous Han troops who were originally stranded in the Xuzhou area also responded to the call of Emperor Chongde of the Qing Dynasty, and hundreds of them crossed the south of the Yangtze River to divide the fields. Most of the soldiers of the Eight Banners also went to the south of the Yangtze River to make a fortune!
There is no way, as the saying goes, people die for wealth, and birds die for food.Whether they are Manchus or Han Chinese, who wouldn't want to go to a good place like Jiangnan to enjoy happiness?
Seeing the sharp decline in his strength, Dorgon himself became more and more guilty, and even retreated a bit.

However, Dorgon also knew that he played too much this time, and actually took advantage of Huang Taiji's critical moment to preserve his strength and sit on the mountain to watch the tigers fight!Even if he kneels down in front of Huang Taiji and weeps and repents and pleads guilty, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit for him.

Although Huang Taiji recently sent an imperial decree from Jiangnan, it sounds very good, claiming that as long as Dorgon knows his way back and is willing to come to Jiangnan with two white flags, he will not blame the past. Houses, gold and silver, fields and Jiangnan beauties have everything .However, Dorgon is also a wise king known for his well-developed mind, and he knows that his good starling Huang Taiji will never spare him this time!Thinking of Mang Gurtai whose whole family died tragically, and Amin who was confined to death, Dorgon felt that if he listened to the honeyed words of the starling and foolishly went south rashly, he might end up worse than them.

But the problem is that most of Dorgon's subordinates are generally unwilling to go all the way with him.First of all, of course, it is the great temptation of Jiangnan beauties, farms and treasures. Those colleagues who have benefited from Jiangnan have sent news one after another, saying how luxurious and beautiful the pavilions and pavilions in the homes of Jiangnan rich people are, making them greedy; Dorgon's strength can no longer compete with Huang Taiji, and he will undoubtedly lose if he fights.Therefore, these people all admonished Dorgon one after another, hoping that for the sake of everyone's prosperity and wealth, it would be better for him to go south and admit his mistakes to the emperor.

In the military robbery group of Manchu Eight Banners, as the leader, he had to think about the prosperity and wealth of his subordinates.If you insist on disobeying the will of the people, you will definitely end up betraying your relatives.Compared with the character of going south to gamble on Huang Taiji, the risk of fighting to the end in Huaibei is not small at all!

Therefore, Dorgon discussed with Duoduo and Abu Tai for a long time, but still could not make up his mind, so he had to continue to live, and at the same time hoped that Huang Taiji would be dazzled by Jiangnan's beauties, and his waist would be exhausted, or that Jiangnan's The civil uprising was held back, temporarily ignoring the mess on his side.

Regrettably, this is purely Dorgon's wishful thinking. As a dignified generation of unrivaled heroes, is Huang Taiji the kind of person who will indulge in wine and sex?

On the other hand, it is true that ever since the regretful gentry in the south of the Yangtze River learned that the "Master of the Qing Dynasty" wanted both money and life for them, the prefectures and counties that had not yet been captured by the Qing army, or had already surrendered in name, "competed" Rise up the army as a plan for recovery." Scholars and gentry everywhere organized rebel armies and set off a vigorous anti-Qing movement.Among them, many places were suppressed before they had time to pull up their teams.But there are also people who really succeed in raising troops.

For example, Fushe scholars Chen Zilong, Xia Yunyi and others, after escaping from Huqiu in Suzhou, recruited troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty in Songjiang Prefecture. Within a few days, more than a thousand people were gathered, and the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty swore to revolt, and the military name was "Zhenwu". ", in an attempt to counterattack Suzhou and rescue the local people.However, although there are more than a thousand volunteers gathered by Chen Zilong and Xia Yunyi, they have nothing to do with salary and food, and most of them are refugees and fishermen, without training and discipline, so they are very useless.And the leading scholars didn't know anything about military affairs, and they didn't even organize gang fights in the countryside.As a result, this prestigious "Zhenwu Army" was rushed away by a small group of Eight Banners cavalry before they arrived at the city of Suzhou. There were many casualties, and Chen Zilong and other principals only escaped.

Except for the "Zhenwu Army" of Songjiang Chen Zilong and Xia Yunyi, who were about to collapse at any touch, the volunteer soldiers who emerged from other places in the south of the Yangtze River, because they were all mobs, either flinched, swirled and disappeared, or even froze. Some bombed their camps and collapsed.From Huang Taiji's point of view, this group of waste wood and cowards did not pose any real threat to the Qing cavalry, at most it was just the difference between being strangled one day earlier or one day later.

Therefore, after the capture of Suzhou, even though there were many Hanchens admonishing, I hope that the Qing army will not turn around and go north, but continue to sweep Songjiang, Huzhou and Jiaxing, so as to take all of Jiangnan.In addition, Turge, the general of Xiangbai Banner, failed to attack Jiangyin County with his three Niulu, so he had to cry bitterly and ask Huang Taiji for help.However, Huang Taiji still insisted on resolving the internal contradictions of the Eight Banners first, and he was determined to subdue Dorgon!

On the third day of February in the seventh year of Chongzhen, after regrouping all the Qing troops who had participated in the Suzhou massacre, and after healed up of the arrow wound on his right shoulder, Huang Taiji left Fushui Mountain Villa, set out on a journey, and ordered the entire army to return Zhenjiang, ready to cross the river north again.At the same time, Huang Taiji issued another ultimatum to Dorgon, asking him to quickly cross the south of the Yangtze River and kneel in front of his horse's hooves to plead guilty. The brothers fought each other based on their abilities, and from then on, they each had their own destiny in life and death!

When the news reached Huaibei, the two white flags that were still stranded there were immediately shocked.Although no one has dared to do anything directly to Dorgon for the time being, many people have already begun to collude secretly.Prepare to abandon the dark and turn to the bright as soon as you see the emperor's driving.And Dorgon also had to face a dreadful multiple-choice question: should he be caught without a fight and give his life to others from now on; or should he fight a desperate battle that is sure to lose?

But not long after, Dorgon was very pleasantly surprised to find that he didn't seem to need to do multiple choice questions for the time being.

Because, Huang Taiji's royal driver will never appear in front of him again.

To be exact, Emperor Chongde of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji, died suddenly before he set off to cross the river from Zhenjiang Mansion to the north!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

——Late at night on the fifth day of February in the seventh year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongde of the Qing Dynasty Huang Taiji died suddenly while sitting upright in the tent of the imperial camp in Zhenjiang at the age of 43.It is said that the cause of death was cerebral hemorrhage or myocardial infarction: Huang Taiji was obese since he was a child, had an unhealthy diet, suffered from severe high blood pressure, and often suffered from nosebleeds. The first-class is several bowls, so that Huang Taiji, who has been fighting all the year round, had to use bowls while on the horse. Receive the blood, while continuing to command and fight...

Over the past year or so, the Qing Empire first went from dormancy to the peak, then fell from the peak to the abyss, and then climbed out of the abyss with difficulty. The ups and downs of its national fortune were as thrilling as a roller coaster.Huang Taiji, who was already in poor health, couldn't help being physically and mentally exhausted, especially in the Nanjing War where the national fortune was bet, he almost collapsed, and he barely survived with a lot of energy.Therefore, before Huang Taiji didn't realize it, he had already burned out his vitality, and just a small inducement could make him die forever.

In short, no matter what, the Emperor Chongde of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji, died violently in the Zhenjiang barracks without warning on the eve of preparing to cross the river to the north.

All of a sudden, the people of the Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River were in great turmoil, and they were no longer able to go north to fight, and who would inherit the throne became a big problem.

At this time, Huang Taiji had three sons still alive, the eldest son Hauge was 26 years old, the second son Ye Keshu was eight years old, and the youngest son Shuosai was seven years old. As for Fulin, another Shunzhi emperor in the history of time and space, he had not yet had time to be born.Among them, the two youngest sons, Ye Keshu and Shuosai, are not only young, but also their birth mothers are relatively humble. According to the traditional rules of the Jurchens, they have no inheritance rights.Based on this calculation, it seems to be a matter of course for the eldest son Hauge to inherit the throne.But the problem is that the relationship between Hauge and Huang Taiji's father and son is not very good, so Huang Taiji has never considered handing over the throne to him, and naturally he will not pave the way for him.And Hauge himself has a rough temper and limited talents, so he can't subdue the dignitaries of all banners.

On the other hand, if you rank according to brother and brother, then it seems that the throne should be handed over to Dorgon!After all, everyone still remembers that when Nurhachi died of illness, he wanted Dorgon to take the throne, but Huang Taiji lifted the table and cut off his beard.

What's more terrible is that the several Mongolian concubines who really controlled Huang Taiji's court: Queen Zhezhe, Hai Lanzhu, Dayuer, etc., did not give birth to sons, and had a bad relationship with Hauge.On the contrary, there seems to be some faint feelings between Dayuer and Dorgon, the uncle... So who will these women left behind by Huang Taiji turn towards in this battle for the throne? Hard to say.

What's more, after the Qing Empire completely lost its homeland of Liaodong, the Han people who joined this system also began to have more and more voices.

As forces from all sides were stirred into this huge vortex one after another, the future and destiny of the Qing Empire became increasingly cloudy and unpredictable.

As a result, the Qing Empire, which had just been forced to stop its decline by Huang Taiji by virtue of the military miracle of conquering the south of the Yangtze River and the rich harvest of looting the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, once again became unpredictable and precarious, and fell into a complicated and unspeakable undercurrent. middle.

On the other hand, just a few days after Emperor Chongde of the Qing Dynasty Huang Taiji Dragon Yu passed away, the old opponent who became the Ninth Five-Year Master almost at the same time also entered his life in a miserable and decadent atmosphere. the last moments of...

——On the ninth day of February, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Youjian passed away in Chizhou Mansion in Nanzhili at the age of 24.
