Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 283

After killing the last batch of Tartars captive in the East, Qi Jiguang immediately issued an order:

"The Qi family army, the national defense army, and the Longteng army split up and quickly searched for the little emperor and Dorgon and others. We must not let them escape."

"Yes"

After everyone received the order, they immediately began to divide into three groups, looking for Dorgon and others in the palace, and the Longteng army rushed directly to the harem.

Many court ladies and eunuchs in the harem, when they saw the Ming army coming in, all prostrated themselves on the ground and did not dare to move.

Yue Fei looked at these poor people, he didn't make things difficult for them, he led the soldiers directly into the harem, and began to search for Da Yuer and the little emperor in the harem of the Eastern Captives.

"Captain, there is no one else in the harem except the maids and eunuchs."

After half a stick of incense, the entire harem was turned upside down, and the little emperor and Dorgon were not found.

Yue Fei frowned:
"Everyone, look carefully to see if there is any tunnel. If you can't find it, you must hide in the tunnel or escape along the tunnel."

"Yes"

Huang Degong immediately led the Longteng Army and began to search for the entrance of the tunnel in the Eastern Harem.

Yue Fei sent another order to gather all the maids and eunuchs in Dongyao Palace. These slaves were frightened long ago, no one resisted, and they all gathered obediently in the main hall.

Yue Fei's icy gaze swept over everyone's faces, making these servants tremble all over, feeling that a catastrophe was imminent.

Almost all of them have seen how the Dongbang people brutally dealt with the Han people, and the Han people would definitely not let them go.

"Now the governor will ask you a question. If anyone knows, I hope you can answer it honestly. We will not embarrass you. If someone does not report the knowledge, the governor will make you die ugly. Your little emperor and queen mother and Dole Where did Gon go?"

"Forgive me, General. We are all low-status slaves. We won't let us know where they go. Please check carefully, General."

These slaves from the Eastern Captivity kowtowed like chickens pecking at rice, she and the others really didn't know where Dorgon had taken the queen mother and the emperor.

This is actually easy to understand, Dorgon is so cunning, he will definitely not let ordinary people know their whereabouts, Yue Fei thought for a while and called:
"Huang Degong, immediately lead five thousand troops out of the city, and must not let these thieves escape into the mountains."

"Yes"

Huang Degong immediately gave the order and left with five thousand dragon troops.

After Huang Degong left, Yue Fei walked around among the court ladies and eunuchs. Every time he took a step, it felt like a big stone fell on these people's hearts, making them uneasy.

If anyone knows that there are basements and tunnels in the palace, tell them immediately, and the governor will let you survive. "

This time, several people stood up, including court ladies and eunuchs, and they all told Yue Fei what they knew about the basement.

Yue Fei immediately ordered people to check the basement, and found that the three basements were full of gold, silver, jewelry, ginseng and other valuable items. This should be the treasury of the Eastern captives.

The gold and silver robbed of Daming over the years, except for the used ones, almost all the remaining gold and silver are here. It is estimated that there are at least more than 3000 million taels of silver, more than 20 taels of gold, and countless other precious items.

It's great to find so many gold and silver jewels, but Yue Fei is not happy.

He understood the principle of cutting grass and roots, if these people were allowed to escape, they might start harassing the people of Daming again after many years.

The Qi family's army also searched the other palaces, but also did not find the person they were looking for, so they went directly to Dorgon's palace to continue searching.

The national defense army also found nothing, only the commander of Jin Yiwei made Qinglong gain a lot. He found the letters and some evidences of the Kong family's illicit ties to the captives in the imperial study.

The empress dowager Dorgon and the little emperor Dongyu were not found, which caused headaches for Qi Jiguang and the three of them. The jade seal is still in their hands and they must be found, otherwise they will not be able to explain to the emperor when they go back.

Could it be that they went out of the palace to hide among the people, after the three of Qi Jiguang got together, they discussed it, but there was no result, so they could only arrest a young eunuch and continue to interrogate.

The little eunuch knelt in front of them and trembled all over, and could hear the sound of his teeth chattering. Qi Jiguang stared into his eyes and asked:

"When was the last time you saw the Queen Mother and Dorgon? You must report the truth, or you will be executed immediately."

The little eunuch stammered and said:
"Reporting to the general, when the regent led the Zhenghuang Banner into the palace, the queen mother and the emperor were still there, and the fighting behind them was in a mess. The servants were hiding in the room and dared not move at all. I really don't know where the emperor and the queen mother went. Please General, please forgive me..."

"Captain, that means there are tunnels in the palace. These people must still be hiding in the palace. We are looking for them carefully."

So the Ming army entered the palace again and began to look for the entrance of the tunnel. Tens of thousands of people almost turned the Dongyao Palace upside down, but they still found nothing.

Li Cunxiao led the Xuanjia iron cavalry and surrounded Shengjing again. The soldiers were five or six steps away from each other. They all looked around with wide eyes, afraid that Dorgon would escape from under their noses.

Soon, Huang Degong led another 5000 men and horses, and set up another encirclement circle five miles outside the Xuanjia cavalry. As long as Dorgon dared to show his face, he would never escape them.

At this time, the weather also began to change, and there were snowflakes in the sky, but the Ming army outside the city did not dare to slack off, looked around, and did not dare to make a sound.

A hundred households under Huang Degong suddenly felt a stomachache. He wanted to endure it for a while, but the pain became more and more serious. He couldn't hold it anymore, so he quietly walked to Huang Degong's side and asked for instructions in a low voice:
"General, the last general has a stomachache. I'll go to the front for convenience and I'll be right back!"

Huang Degong gave him a hard look, then waved his hand:
"Go away, go and come back quickly."

There is no way, people have three urgencies, Huang Degong can't let hundreds of households under his command pull them down their pants.

Seeing Huang Degong nodding his head, Xu Hu of Baihu ran to a ravine as if he had been released again. He couldn't be convenient in front of the general and his companions, he would be laughed at.

Their location was five miles outside Shengjing City, Baihu hurriedly ran half a mile, jumped down the ravine and couldn't wait to take off their pants, so they started to make things easier.

Maybe it was because of the cold, after half a day, everything that should be done has been done, but the stomach still hurts, so Xu Hu had no choice but to continue squatting there.

Suddenly the dry grass not far in front of him moved, Xu Hu didn't pay attention to it, he thought it was the wind, but his eyes didn't move away from it.

Soon, the pile of withered grass moved again, more violently than before, and Xu Hu's heart rose to his throat.

Everyone knew what their purpose of going out of the city was, looking for the tunnel exit, so his eyes were fixed on the pile of withered grass.

But after a long time, there was no more movement, Xu Hu shook his head, he knew he was a little suspicious.

Suddenly, the pile of withered grass suddenly parted to the two sides, as if revealing a hole.

"Fuck, it can't be a tunnel exit!"

Xu Hu felt like his heart was going to jump out. He squatted there and didn't dare to move. He was so nervous that he forgot about the pain in his stomach, and he didn't think that if someone came out, his pants hadn't been pulled up yet.
