Dashun Yongchang

He Luohui is really determined to fight these people outside to the end, because he betrayed Haoge as Haoge's subordinate, which led to Yangshan, Omoktu, Yi Chengge, the two yellow banner ministers who supported Haoge. Luo Shuo and others were beheaded by Dorgon. Since Hauge killed Dorgon, how could he let him go.

It’s just that Azig’s eyes flickered a little. He couldn’t stop looking at Guarja Wubai next to him. After a long time, he finally made up his mind and asked Wu Bai: “Wu Bai, do you think Hauge will be there? Minister Wang confronted me at the meeting? My personal life is worthless, but everyone’s wives and children are still in the capital, so we can’t let them all become rebels with me, right?”

He Luo looked at Azig in disbelief. He never imagined that Hauge had already killed the regent, and Azig wanted to confront Hauge at the meeting of ministers. Is it too long?He subconsciously gestured to the guards behind him. This was his general's office, and it was impossible for him to be at the mercy of Azig.

Wu Bai took a look at Azige, feeling very contemptuous in his heart, this is the reason why these two white-flag old men look down on Azige, Azige softens every time it is critical, he is not material for big things at all, follow him It's just a dead end.

If it was the ten kings in front of him, of course he would not think about surrendering, but it happened to be this incompetent Azig, it was not worth dying for such a person.After sighing, Wu Bai said, "Hao Ge's Zhenglan Banner has long been dismantled by the Regent, and the two yellow flags are now loyal to the Emperor. Even if Hao Ge assassinates the Regent, he will have nothing to do." It is possible to bypass the meeting of ministers and seize power arbitrarily."

After hearing this, Azige became courageous, straightened his back and stood up and said: "Alright, I will go to the capital to confront Hauge at the meeting of the king's ministers to see what power he has to assassinate the regent. I don't believe in other banners." will support him…”

It’s just that before Azige finished speaking, He Luohui, who had already retreated among his guards, interrupted him and said angrily: “My lord, at this time, you don’t want to lead troops to the capital to avenge the regent, but put down Weapons ran to the capital to confront Hauge? Did you play too much with women and lost your mind?

You ran to the capital with your bare hands, and Hauge still needs to meet you?Just send a few guards over to silence them.It’s okay if you don’t want to live yourself, but don’t drag others to die?I offended Hauge to death for the sake of the regent. Either he died or I died. Do you want me to die?

Come, the Prince of England is confused, take him to the room and lock him up first.Lord Wu Bai, please feel wronged, and sit with the prince in the room for a while. "

Wu Bai gave He Luohui a sympathetic look, before letting out a long breath and saying, "Let's do it."

He Luohui hadn't turned the corner yet, and frowned immediately after hearing this, and said, "Wouldn't it be good for Mr. Wu Bai to go in by himself? Force me to do it... Ah, bastard, Badu, you betrayed me..."

He Luohui held on to Badu, the leader of the guard who was attacking him from behind, and asked loudly why the other party betrayed him, but Badu ignored him, just pulled out the dagger and stabbed it several times, and even turned the dagger to stir up the blood. After a while, He Luohui quickly lost his strength and fell down, and a puddle of black blood soon accumulated on the ground.

The guards around Badu ignored He Luohui who fell on the ground, but just watched Wu Bai.Wu Bai then nodded and said: "Find a wooden box, cut off his head and send it out, saying that He Luo will be killed if he refuses to surrender. We are willing to surrender..."

Seeing the head sent from the general's mansion, Man Dahai and others were relieved, Gong Adai hurriedly said: "Since it is He Luohui's head, then add some quicklime, and then send it to the capital as soon as possible to show Prince Su."

Beizi Tunqi at the side also agreed with Gong Adai's opinion. Everyone knew that He Luohui was one of Prince Su's most hated enemies, probably more than Dorgon.Because of his betrayal, the heads of the two yellow banner ministers who supported Hauge were all beheaded, and Hauge was almost sent to the guillotine.

The reason why Hauge was not put under house arrest when he entered the customs was because the little emperor cared about his brother, which made Dorgon unable to do anything for a while, and gave Hauge a chance to stand up.

Shen Chaoji, governor of Xuanda, had just passed away due to illness at this time. Li Jian, the governor of Xuanfu, was in charge of the governor of Xuanda. Although he knew that there was an internal turmoil among the Manchus, he kept silent and continued to serve Beijing.

Without him, their situation is actually the same as that of He Luohui, the kind where there is no turning back.At the beginning, they joined forces with Song Quan and Jiang Guan to kill the soldiers of the Shun army stationed in Xuanfu, and their rebellion was so thorough that it was impossible to turn back.

Jiang Guan's rebellion was forced in the final analysis, because Dorgon didn't trust the powerful military leader in Datong at all, so he always wanted to beat him.But for the officials of the Xuanfu, they have always had trade ties with the Manchus, and it can be said that they belonged to the cooperative allies of the Manchus.After the Manchus entered the customs, most of the Xuanfu's soldiers and horses were also withdrawn, so the Manchus were very relieved of these people.

Therefore, the officials and gentry of the Xuan Mansion have never thought of surrendering to the Shun Army except following the Manchus to Hei, because they know that the Shun Army will definitely not let them go.Even if the Manchus are now at the end of their ropes, they can only keep their eyes closed and continue to help the Manchus defend the Xuan Mansion against the attack of the Datong Shun Army.

Haoge and Luo Luohong still knew the importance of the Xuan Mansion, which was the main point of contact between Beijing and the grassland. If this point was occupied by the Shun army, it was uncertain whether the Mongolian ministries on the grassland would continue to be loyal to the Manchus.Therefore, after learning that Azige and Wu Bai had been captured, Hauge immediately pardoned the rest of the Xuanfu, but asked Gong Adai to send Azige and Wu Bai back to Beijing, and the affairs of the Xuanfu were handed over to Man Dahai. , Luck Dehun and Tun Qi are in charge.

The Xuanfu mutiny at least allowed Beijing to solve one side of the trouble, and then it could negotiate with Li Zicheng and concentrate on dealing with Duoduo.Since the launch of the coup, Luo Luohong and Haoge have been busy cleaning up Dorgon's remnants in Beijing, and even the Zhengbai Banner was disbanded and assigned to each banner.Although this action made it impossible for Beijing to respond to Shunjun's actions for the time being, it stabilized Hauge's position in Beijing.

To be honest, without the full support of the two red flags, if there is no loan of 300 million taels, Hauge may not even be able to gather a leader in Beijing, and the support of the two red flags for Hauge is due to Luo Luo As a middleman, Hong is secondly because Hauge spent a lot of silver taels, and thirdly because he has been dissatisfied with other banners for a long time.

Yes, the two red flags are not dissatisfied with the two white flags who now hold power. They are also dissatisfied with the two yellow flags and the two blue flags. As the eldest son of Nurhachi after Chu Ying was convicted and executed, the two red flags should have succeeded Nurhachi. The two yellow flags became the core of the Eight Banners, but the mutual containment of the four Baylor made the two red flags lose this opportunity.

It can be said that since Huang Taiji came to power, the status of the two red flags has been declining, not only for Huang Taiji's sweat, but also for being suppressed by Huang Taiji in the end. Even Yue Tuo, who was loyal to Huang Taiji, died of depression.The rise of the Dorgon brothers also did not bring any benefits to the two red flags, and they were still targets of suppression.

So this time when Luo Luohong ran back, it was just an incitement, and the backbone of the two red flags started to do it half-truthfully, but when Dorgon was really killed, the two red flags knew that it was the same as the two white flags. They had formed a death feud, and at this time they were too lazy to listen to Daishan's orders, and completely obeyed Luo Luohong, the master, and directly wiped out the two white flag forces inside the capital. Although the main goal was to correct the white flag, the actual The upper inlaid white flag and the two yellow flags were also affected, because many generals of the two yellow flags defected to Dorgon.

After such a big cleaning, the two red flags and the two blue flags can be considered to have completely controlled the situation in the capital, the two yellow flags can only keep a place in the palace, the positive white flag has been revoked, and the inlaid white flag has also been monitored. The power to fight against Hauge and Rollohong.

The two Mongolian women Burbutai and her aunt in the palace could only keep the little emperor, and once again bowed their heads to Hauge. The previous attempt to seize the control of the two white flags to restore the emperor's power was in vain.

Of course, Hauge was still worried about the situation outside the capital. Even if Azig was captured by the Xuanfu mutiny, he still asked Luo Luohong frowningly: "Even if we got the Xuanfu, but The strength of Beijing and Xuanfu is still no match for Duoduo or His Majesty Yongchang, should we start moving people back outside the pass?"

Although it is said that Hauge is the main force in the capital, and Jierharang and Luo Luohong are the deputy, in fact, major events are decided after discussions between Hauge and Luo Luohong, and Hauge almost always chooses to listen to Luo Luohong opinion, because he had no idea what to do with the Qing Dynasty after the coup.

Luo Luohong sat on the chair that Dorgon used to make in the Hall of Martial Heroes, looked at the memorial in his hand, and said without raising his head: "It's already May, the spring sowing has already started inside the pass, and the spring sowing outside the pass is also here. Letting all the flags go out of customs at this time is tantamount to missing a season, so what will everyone eat outside the customs this year?"

Hauge, who was walking back and forth in the hall, said very distressed: "But I always feel uneasy staying in Beijing. No matter if the ten kings came with soldiers and horses, or Emperor Yongchang came with soldiers and horses, it is impossible for us to defend Beijing." from the city."

Luo Luohong said nonchalantly: "I think it's better to let the soldiers of Emperor Yongchang come over than the ten kings. After all, you still owe Emperor Yongchang 300 million taels. What's the use of him wanting your life?" ? The ten kings will really kill us when they come up."

Hauge was silent for a while and then asked: "Then what should we do if Emperor Yongchang comes up? You have to tell me the truth, right? I can't bear such a life of fear."

Chapter 616 Manchu's Future

Luo Luohong put down the memorial in his hand, looked at Hauge for a while and asked, "Do you want to be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty?"

Haug was stunned for a moment, but finally shook his head and said: "After killing Dorgon, I don't think it's interesting to be an emperor. Besides, Fulin is still good to me. What's the point of me snatching his emperor? "

Luo Luohong spread his hands and said: "Since you don't want to be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, I don't know what you are worried about. Emperor Yongchang is calling, this is naturally something the emperor should worry about, what do we ministers have to worry about?" Yes? When the Qing Dynasty is in existence, we will be the subjects of the Qing Dynasty for a day. If the Qing Dynasty is really finished, there is nothing wrong with being the subjects of the Dashun."

Hauge couldn't turn the corner, and replied subconsciously: "Didn't you say before that you would make peace with Emperor Yongchang after killing Dorgon, and then go back outside the customs? Why are you going to surrender again?"

Luo Luohong looked at him and said: "If you want to be the emperor, I will accompany you to the outside of the pass. But you don't want to be the emperor, and getting these Eight Banners back outside the pass is an offending job. We Is it worthwhile to offend people for the sake of the little emperor?

They finally moved here from outside the customs, and their wealth was wasted on the road. Now they are asked to move back outside the customs. Is there any ready-made Zhuangzi outside the customs to enclose land for them?Are there any Han slaves to farm for them?There is nothing, how can the Eight Banners not be full of resentment?At that time, the two queen mothers in the palace will use my head to vent their anger on the Eight Banners. Do you think I will give it or not? "

Hauge was stunned, and after a while he said: "No way, we still respect the two empress dowagers, and we have never intruded into the palace. Were they also applauding to get rid of Dorgon?"

Luo Luohong sneered and said: "Except for Dorgon and the others applauding, they also applaud except for me, a traitor who eats everything. The two empress dowagers talked about me in private, and they all said that I was a traitor sent by the Han people." , deliberately provoked you to deal with Dorgon."

Hauge was silent for a long time before he said: "Since the two empress dowagers are discussing in private, why do you know?"

Luo Luohong curled his lips and said: "All the eunuchs and maids from the Ming Dynasty are retained in this palace. They are good players with red tops and whites. Now that we have controlled the capital, haven't a few come to show our favor? ?”

Hauge had no choice but to say: "The two empress dowagers may not have any malicious intentions. You also said that the inside and outside of the capital are under our control. What can they do?"

Luo Luohong nodded and said: "Yes, they can't do much in the capital, but it's not necessarily the case when they go back outside the pass. So, I won't go outside the pass to serve the little emperor."

Hauge really didn't want Luo Luohong to leave him, he knew that without Luo Luohong, the Eight Banners would not be as honest as they are now.Luo Luohong's attack is much darker than him. It is estimated that Dorgon may not be able to match him. People who used to be afraid of the regent are now starting to fear the prince Cheng.

Under Hauge's suggestion, the meeting of ministers of the king decided that Luo Luohong should be restored to the title, not Yue Tuo's Keqin County King at the time of his death, but Yue Tuo's Prince Cheng.The backbone of the two red flags all support this decision, which means that the two red flags have reached an agreement that Luo Luohong can replace Prince Li Daishan as the master of the two red flags.

Facing the aggressive momentum of the two red flags, who will block Luo Luohong on this issue.So Luo Luohong also officially became the spokesperson of the two red flags, and Dai Shan has completely retired.Hauge also knew that even if he got the Zhenglan flag back, he would not be able to get the two yellow flags now, because all his supporters in the two yellow flags were cut off by Dorgon.

Therefore, Hauge, who seems to have replaced Dorgon, actually only holds a Zhenglan flag of average strength in his hands. Without Luo Luohong carrying two red flags to support him, even Jierhalang will insist on supporting him. He is unknown.So Hauge couldn't help but persuaded: "Emperor Yongchang may not tolerate you. You were alone in the past. Now you have two red flags in your hand. Emperor Yongchang will not be afraid of you."

Faced with Hauge's persuasion, Luo Luohong shook his head and said: "It seems that you don't understand Emperor Yongchang's temper. In fact, Emperor Yongchang is not worried about whether his subjects have power, he only cares about whether they are worth using. .

If it is worth using, Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Dynasty and King Daxi of Sichuan can tolerate it.If there is no use value, he will abandon you.The two red flags in my hands will not become a threat to Dashun, because His Majesty knows very well that my ability is not on the battlefield.

What's more, I don't intend to hold on to the two red flags for a long time.If I become a subject of Dashun, the land from the inner circle of the pass will definitely be returned, and the Han servants in Zhuangzi will also be released. How can I support people with two red flags?Therefore, it still has to be handed over to the imperial court in the end, so why would His Majesty be afraid of me? "

Hauge couldn't believe it for a while, so he said: "I can understand that the land is returned, but whether the Han servants should be released or not, this must be screened, right? Of course those captured in the customs must be released, and those who have stayed in the mansion for a long time Years of servants, if they don’t leave, will they still use whips to drive them away?”

Luo Luohong looked at him and said: "As long as you stay, you have to let go. Don't try to challenge His Majesty's majesty. He is not the kind of emperor who grew up in a deep palace. He will discuss principles with us. Letting the servants go It is quite cost-effective to pursue the hatred in the past. If it were us, it would not be a simple matter of letting people go."

Hauge thought for a while and said: "If you are really worried about the two queen mothers, we can find a place to live after we leave the customs. It is not necessary to continue to live with the two yellow flags. It is better to go outside the customs and live freely than to live under the fence. ?”

Luo Luohong stretched out his hand and tugged at his sleeve, and then said: "Look at the clothes we are wearing, they are all made of silk from the south. And look at everything in this temple, those are not made by Chinese craftsmen. Produced. Free and easy? A place without any enjoyment is not called free and easy, it is called exile.

Besides, where do you think we can retreat outside the customs?Shengjing?Hetuala?Or the deep mountains and old forests further north?This retreat is unlikely to have any comfort waiting for us, only worse and worse.We are not Destiny Khan, and we can fight again from the deep mountains and old forests.His Majesty Yongchang is not Emperor Chongzhen, he will not give us a chance to recuperate.

Therefore, if you admit defeat honestly, you can still get preferential treatment. If you continue to fight against the Han people, I am afraid that even the Mongols will oppose us. "

Luo Luohong sees it too clearly, and because he sees it so clearly, he is not at all interested in living a life like living a life of self-destruction. If he is not forced to a dead end, who would want to be a savage and taste his courage?What's more, being a savage may not make a comeback, but it is possible to truly become a savage.Thinking of such a result, he would rather continue to serve Li Zicheng, even if he is a researcher who compiles the historical records of Houjin, it is better than being a savage.

Hauge was still in a state of confusion, and after avenging Dorgon, he lost his goal.To be honest, being constantly suppressed by Dorgon before has made him afraid of the struggle for the throne or the world, because if this kind of struggle fails, he will lose everything. Those who have lost once are especially afraid of losing again, so he That's why he told Luo Luohong that he didn't want to be an emperor anymore.

It's just that he didn't expect that now the Manchus could not stay inside the pass, and they might not even be able to go back outside the pass. For a moment, he felt that the road ahead was uncertain and he didn't know what to do.

After a while he remembered something and said: "Since you think His Majesty Yongchang won't let us go back outside the pass, then why should we talk to His Majesty Yongchang? Or do you think there is still a possibility of peace between us and Dashun?" ?”

Luo Luohong was silent for a moment and then said: "That depends on how the Shun Army and the Ten Kings fight. If the Ten Kings win or the two sides are tied, then we still have the possibility of peace with Dashun. If the Shun Army has the upper hand , then there is nothing to talk about..."

Inside Dongzhimen, Zhengbai Banner's garrison area, at this time every family hung up white cloths, because of Luo Luohong's mass cleansing, almost every family in Zhengbai Banner was obedient to filial piety.Of course, this is also because of the extensive marriages within Zhengbaiqi, so the death of one person can contact several families, and eventually every family will have to wear mourning.

Of course, compared with other families in Zhengbai Banner, the Dong E family is better, and they were not implicated in the Prince Regent's case. Shuo is back.

Dong E. E Shuo has not seen his family for more than four years since he entered the customs. This time he was assigned to Haoge's guard. Although he knew that it was Dorgon who was going to attack, E Shuo was powerless. , because he was not assigned to the decision-making level of the team, Luo Luohong never trusted him, and kept him at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, letting him guard Daishan.

The experience in the south in the past few years also made E Shuo lose his will to fight hard, so after being left in Xiangshan, he did not try to run to the capital to warn Dorgon. Anyway, Dorgon had already declared his death. Don't owe Dorgon anything.

After Dorgon's death, E Shuo was also recalled to the capital. This time, Luo Luohong felt relieved of him a lot and asked him to manage the Zhengbai Banners and place them in each banner.Because of this power, E Shuo kept his family and most of his relatives.

When E Shuo was playing with his little daughter at home and telling her about the customs of the South, his elder brother Luo Shuo walked in angrily. Seeing this, E Shuo sent his daughter to play by himself, and then asked his elder brother, "Ah?" Brother, what's the matter?"

Luo Shuo said angrily: "Those people with the two red flags fell in love with my Zhuangzi outside the city and said they wanted to trade with me. But what they traded with me were all rotten lands. Isn't this clearly bullying people? Are we really going to lose the white flag?"

E Shuo glanced at his elder brother and said, "Give it to them, they will be proud soon."

Chapter 617 Surrender

Luo Shuo looked at his younger brother in bewilderment, and after a while he said, "Give Zhuangzi to them, what will we eat in the future?"

E Shuo looked at his brother with a wry smile and said, "How long do you think we can stay in the customs? Unless the ten kings can defeat Li Zicheng and return to the capital, we will have to leave the customs and return to our hometown."

Luo Shuo was silent for a long time before he said uncertainly: "The ten kings should not be able to win?"

E Shuo sighed and said: "Of course I can't win, people's hearts are lost, how can I win?"

Luo Shuo got up and sat down again. It seemed that after intense thinking, he said to his younger brother: "Then we should send the old and the weak back to Shengjing. How to go?"

E Shuo shook his head and said: "We have to go, but we can't go now. If anyone starts this first, he will disturb the morale of the army. Prince Su and Prince Cheng will definitely make an example. We can only leave when the decision is made by the higher authorities." .”

At this time, Luo Shuo was not worried about Zhuangzi outside the city, but began to have a headache about the relocation of the family. He said to his younger brother: "When will the decision be made? Even if it is decided, when will it be our turn to go?" ? We were dismissed from Zhengbaiqi, they won't leave us at the end, will they?"

E Shuo remained silent, because he felt that this was probably a certain result. Since Dorgon was able to distribute all the good land to the two white flags, now that the two white flags have lost power, it is impossible not to suffer.Regardless of the situation, the two red flags first came to find Zhengbaiqi to exchange for Zhuangzi. It can be seen that these people have little guts. Can they still be expected to take care of them and leave first?

Of course, when the time comes, E Shuo feels that there is actually another way, but there is no need to tell his brother now, after all, until the last moment, everyone may not accept this way.

When the two brothers were sitting silently, Luo Luohong's guards brought an order to summon E Shuo, so E Shuo and his brother hurriedly said goodbye and went to the Hall of Martial Arts.In the guard room of the Hall of Martial Heroes, Hauge sat at the head, and Luo Luohong stood aside. He didn't say much when he saw E Shuo coming in, and said to him straightforwardly: "At present, the capital and the Xuanfu are both settled down. There is no news from the Wang side, but we also need to talk to His Majesty Yongchang about the peace talks. I hope you pack up and lead the team to Baoding Mansion to negotiate peace talks with the Shun Army..."

E Shuo also knew that this was the best path that Daqing could take right now, so he naturally didn't talk too much, and went down to prepare after receiving the order.It's just that the changes in the situation outside the capital are obviously beyond the estimates of Hauge and Luo Luohong.

After three days of confrontation between Duduo and the Shun Army, facing the fast-approaching Shun Army from all walks of life, at the request of his subordinates, he finally proposed to Li Zicheng to surrender.

Nikan’s first mission to peace talks did not get a response from Li Zicheng. Instead, he learned that Dashun was behind the Beijing coup. This news shocked the Manchus in the Duduo army, because it meant Hauge and their Tongshun army are not a three-legged confrontation, but Hauge and the Shun army are fighting against them together. Then it will be impossible for them to unite with other people in the capital to oppose Hauge's regaining control of the capital.

Before, everyone thought that this was just a political struggle between Hauge and Dorgon, and the conflict between the two white flags and other banners had not yet reached the point of swordsmanship.But the news that Nikan brought back told them that this was no longer a power struggle between Hauge and Dorgon, but a struggle within the Eight Banners about war and ideas.

Since Hauge killed Dorgon in the capital, it means that the peace faction in the capital has the upper hand. At this time, it is impossible to unite the anti-Hauge forces in the capital to launch a mutiny to regain power.Because even if Hauge could be assassinated by them, the main peace faction would not be able to change his mind. At most, he would just change his head and continue to clean up the main war faction.

In fact, when the Duduo army learned that Hauge and Luo Luohong had reached a tacit understanding of peace with the Shun army, many people thought that peace might be the way out for the Qing Dynasty, and continued to fight against the Han people. Obviously hopeless.Of course, these people's views were not there from the beginning, but after experiencing the previous defeat in the Southern Expedition and the defeat in this battle, they turned to the peace faction.

On the day when Nikan returned to the Taoist army, bad news came from various places. One was that Wu Sangui's army had occupied Hejian Mansion, cutting off their passage to Tianjin; In the end, Kong Youde chose to set himself on fire, locked himself in a house in the city and lit a fire.

As a result, the Duduo army has fallen into a predicament surrounded by the Shun army. The Qing army in the outer counties is constantly handing over weapons to the approaching Shun army, and the Duduo headquarters in Liaocheng can't defeat the Shun army. The camp, that is to say, at least the Shun army can really hold back their Qing army.If the Shun army, like the Ming army, collapsed in a field battle, then this is no encirclement, and the Qing army can at least run away.

But right now, the Duoduo army has no confidence in being able to resist the pursuit of the Shun army in the field, and retreating in front of the Shun army would be suicide.So there were two roads left in front of Duoduo, leading the cavalry to break through or surrendering at Li Zicheng's request.

But at this time, the important ministers of the Two White Banners, Han Dai, Alzin, Naqib, Belhetu, Laita, Azignikan, etc. all came to see Duduo, and they had only one opinion, even if they talked with Li Zicheng Conditional surrender cannot abandon the army and run away.

Laita said it most bluntly, "Leave the army and run away, but take away [-] to [-] vests. It is useless for the [-] vests to go to Beijing. Without food and guns, what do we use to attack Beijing? Then the army It will inevitably be incorporated by Hauge. With Hauge's resentment towards the two white flags, aren't we going to die by ourselves?

If Li Zicheng surrendered, this guy would arrange for me to wait for the strength of our army.Wouldn't it be the safest way to rescue the family members in Beijing with the help of the Shun Army at that time? "

Even Duoduo can no longer suppress the fear and anger of the two white flags towards Hauge. After all, according to the news from the capital, Hauge is now completely targeting the two white flags. The posture of dismantling.Hauge's style suddenly reminded these two white flags of the fear of being dominated by Huang Taiji back then. At that time, the two white flags relied on internal unity to resist Huang Taiji's suppression.

However, the preservation of the two white flags was not supported by internal unity, but Huang Taiji's timely death.If Huang Taiji hadn't died in time, the two white flags would have been put on the cutting board by Huang Taiji and ready to be chopped into pieces.With Huang Taiji's method against Zhenglan Qi and Xianghong Qi, the two white flags have almost no room to resist.

This time Hauge's turnaround and the revocation of the Zhengbai Banner once again brought back the fearful memory of Huang Taiji to the generals of the two white flags. They really could not accept Hauge's style.After all, under the leadership of Dorgon, the enmity between Liangbaiqi and Haoge is deep.In contrast, Liangbaiqi and Li Zicheng had no hatred at all. The one who had hatred was the Qing Dynasty against Dashun, so at least there was no need to worry about being retaliated against personally if he surrendered to Li Zicheng.

Dodo's control over the army mainly lies in the support of these two white flag generals. He can rely on his prestige to force them to fight a war that has no chance of winning, but he cannot force these people to destroy the group he exists.

To put it simply, even if they die in battle with Duoduo, as long as the two white flags are still there, their families can at least have a guarantee.But the current situation is that the two white flags are about to be destroyed, so why do they still support Duoduo?This means that their past struggles and their family's future will be wiped out with the disappearance of the two white flags. How can this be endured.

Duoduo finally succumbed to his subordinates, after all, he is not without selfishness.At least he felt that if he died like this, Dorgon and his descendants probably would not end well. Surrendering to Li Zicheng might not be a way out, at least it could maintain the blood of the two families.

Of course, Duoduo also knew that this was a gamble. If he was Li Zicheng, he might not let him continue to live.After all, if he was chopped off, the two white flags would have no leader, and it would be easier for Li Zicheng to control them.

But at this time, Li Zicheng actually didn't want to fight anymore. He needed to end the Northern War as soon as possible, so as to better deal with the integration of Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Army and Dashun, and another thing was to quell the chaos in the Northwest.Duduo's surrender can not only end the Northern War ahead of schedule, but also put the countdown to the demise of the Qing Dynasty on the table. Naturally, he has no intention of playing any tricks with Duduo.

On May [-], the Shun Army set up a surrender platform in Shen County, where Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Zongmin and other generals of the Shun Army accepted the surrender of hundreds of Manchu and Han generals including Duoduo.

Betrayed by his son-in-law and son-in-law, he was drunk and sent to Hanzhong during a sacrifice outside the city. Although Zhang Xianzhong wanted to escape after waking up, the guards were extremely strict and he never succeeded.After the convoy passed Hanzhong, he stopped thinking of running away, because this was already under the jurisdiction of the Shun Army, and even if he escaped from the convoy, he could not escape from the jurisdiction of the Shun Army.

When passing through Xi'an, Tian Jianxiu came to visit him and told him to go to see Li Zicheng with peace of mind, and there would be nothing unbearable, so Zhang Xianzhong had no choice but to accept the other party's arrangement.Speaking of it, since he let go of his heart, Zhang Xianzhong's temper is much better than in Chengdu, and he no longer feels that someone is going to hurt him.

After meeting Li Zicheng in Zhengzhou, Li Zicheng didn't make any trouble for him, and let him serve as the deputy speaker of the military council.Although this was just a false job, it was a clear enough signal to Zhang Xianzhong that Li Zicheng didn't intend to kill him, but just wanted to raise him.

Because of this, Zhang Xianzhong's mind became a little active, but soon this kind of mind returned to silence.The reason is that Wu Sangui rebelled again, and the Qing army seemed to be dying, which meant that the world would be unified. Even if he fled back to Chengdu at this time, he would not be able to compete with Li Zicheng for anything. Good mascot.

Although he thought so, Zhang Xianzhong also began to feel honored when he stood beside Li Zicheng and watched the Manchu generals file in from the gate of the camp and kowtow three times and bow nine times to the surrender platform.

Chapter 618

Standing on the surrender platform, Zhang Xianzhong looked at the Manchu generals below, and couldn't help but suggested to Li Zicheng beside him: "It's a disaster for these Manchus to keep them. It's better to get rid of them once and for all, and cut off their roots."

Although Liu Zongmin on the side didn't speak, he nodded slightly. Although he was unhappy that Zhang Xianzhong was in front of him, he felt that Zhang Xianzhong's suggestion was very appetizing.It's just that the news of killing surrender is not good after all. He is now a successful and famous Duke and Marshal. Now he cares more about his reputation, and he will no longer shout for killing like before.

Li Zicheng didn't turn his head when he heard this, but just replied softly, "In fact, some people suggested to me a few days ago that it would be troublesome to keep King Daxi. The dragons have no leader. Tell me, is this a good idea?"
