Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 412 The Qing Dynasty had a ladder over the wall

"Drive~drive~drive~"

Aixinjueluo Dorgon whipped the divine horse under him severely. His younger brother Aisinjueluo Duoduo fell ill and contracted smallpox. He narrowly escaped death in this era. No! Fifteenth brother, you can’t die. The thousands of miles of land we conquered together are still waiting for you and me to rule together!

No matter how great a hero is, there are always some people who cannot let go. After learning that his younger brother was critically ill, the emperor's father and the regent went crazy. He forgot about Jiang Yu and Datong City, and just wanted to rush back to see his brother for the last time.

"Brother Fourteen, I'm afraid it won't work." Duduo's voice appeared in the dream.

"Don't talk nonsense. You will get better. I will take you to Changbai Mountain to hunt tigers." Dorgon's answer in his dream was trembling.

"Well, Brother Fourteen, it will be fine. You, me, and the Qing Dynasty will be fine," Duduo said sweetly, just like he did when he was a child.

"It will get better~ It will definitely get better~" Dorgon fell into sleep leaning on his horse. He was driving without taking off his armor and the horse without leaving the saddle. He was really tired!
In 1648, the year of Jichou in the lunar calendar, the precarious fortunes of the Qing Dynasty did indeed improve this year. In the first month of the first month, the Qing army fell into Xiangtan and captured all of Hunan. He Tengjiao, the great scholar and supervisor of Wuyingdian University in the Ming Dynasty, died in battle; in the second month, the Qing army fell into Nanchang, and Jin Shenghuan, the Duke of Mingchang, was hit by a stray arrow and drowned to death. Duke Hui Guo Li Chengdong attacked Ganzhou to save Nanchang, but was defeated by Liu Wuyuan, governor of Jiangxi Province of the Qing Dynasty. He retreated to Xinfeng, and his subordinates were scattered and drowned in the water. In order to save the decline, in March, the Ming Dynasty granted Zheng Chenggong the title of Duke of Guangping; in April, it granted the title of Duke of Lu to Sun Kewang, the former general of Zhang Xianzhong, King of the West. In order to win over Sun Kewang, Chen Bangfu, the Duke of Qing in Guangxi vassal town, pretended to make him the king of Qin. Sun Kewang was overjoyed at first. After learning that it was a fake, he was furious and arrested the envoy and put him in jail.

Finally arriving in Beijing, Dorgon drove straight to Prince Heshuodeyu's Mansion. He didn't see his younger brother, but only his seven nephews in mourning clothes. He couldn't help but feel sad and couldn't extricate himself. Asked his second nephew, the 13-year-old legitimate son of King Yu, Aixinjueluo Doni: "What did your Ama say during his lifetime?"

"Uncle Fourteenth, the last words Ama left before his death were 'It will get better, the Qing Dynasty will get better this year'".

After hearing this, the dignified emperor and regent could no longer control his emotions and burst into tears. "Fifteenth brother, go with peace of mind. The Qing Dynasty will definitely get better!"

In order to improve the national destiny of the Qing Dynasty quickly, the loyal ministers and righteous men are working hard. In the Governor's Mansion on Yuanmen Street in the south of Xi'an City, Meng Qiaofang, the governor of Qing Dynasty and Shaanxi Province, was discussing matters with distinguished guests. As a veteran minister who was highly regarded by the late Emperor Huang Taiji, his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty was unquestionable. It is precisely because of this that Dorgon still tolerated him staying in Shaanxi even though he knew that he did not agree with him proclaiming emperor. After all, it was not easy to find an official capable of controlling the situation in the northwest!

Those who can be the governor's honored guests are naturally not ordinary people. They were Hahamu, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Qing Dynasty, and Esai, the minister of the Ministry of Hubu, who were stationed in Xi'an, Huang Erxing, the governor of Shaanxi, Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, and Li Guohan, the real person of Gushan Ezhen, who came from Hanzhong. There should have been a senior official: Wang Zhengzhi, the governor of Yansui. Unfortunately, Wang Zhengzhi was killed by the rebel Wang Yongqiang. The matter discussed today is to discuss how to put down the rebel Wang Yongqiang who dared to kill the governor.

"My lords, Jiang Quan in Shanxi is rebellious. The rebel Wang Yongqiang killed Wang Futai. According to the plan of northern Shaanxi, Jiang Quan is suppressed as soon as possible. If the rebellion is not put down quickly when it first breaks out, it will become a serious problem for the imperial court in the long run." Meng Qiaofang said , but his eyes looked straight at Wu Sangui, King of Pingxi. There were many elite soldiers in Hexi and Shaanxi, but because he sent a large number of elites to the south to suppress the rebellion of Jin and Li, he did not have enough troops. Although he also recruited some new soldiers, their combat power was not comparable to that of the veterans in the past. At the same time, the original troops stationed in Most of the Eight Banners soldiers in Shaanxi were also transferred away. Among the people present, Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, was the strongest, and his Guan Ning cavalry was brave and good at fighting.

"Cough~" Wu Sangui coughed and turned his eyes elsewhere. These days, only by having soldiers can you be king. The few soldiers and horses under your command are the foundation for your survival and must not be easily lost in Shaanxi.

"We, the ministers of our country, should die to serve the country. The governor of Shaanxi is the highest official in Shaanxi and he is the highest official in Shaanxi. He just gives orders. Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be the first to behead him." Li Guohan shouted in the mountains. This man was originally from Tielingwei Qinghe (now Qinghe District, Tieling City, Liaoning Province). In the sixth year of Tianming (1621), he followed his father Li Jixue and was sent to the Houjin Dynasty. He was affiliated with the Xianglan Banner of the Han Army. During the Emperor Taiji period, he was appointed as a bodyguard and given the title "Mergen". ", and later promoted the Han army of Xianglan Banner to Gushan Ezhen (dutong). Originally a Han Chinese, he forgot his ancestry after joining the banner of the Han army and regarded himself as a Manchu. He had outstanding military exploits and was highly trusted by the Qing emperor. This time, he brought one Jia La and two Niu Lu and Xianglan Banner Han troops to accompany Wu Sangui on the expedition. It was called Sui Zheng, but it was actually surveillance.

Hearing his roar, Wu Sangui quickly expressed his willingness to listen to his orders. Hahamu, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, Esai, the minister of the household affairs department, and Huang Erxing, the governor of Shaanxi, also expressed their obedience.

"Okay! All the gentlemen are of one heart and one mind, so why worry about rampant rebels!" Meng Qiaofang was overjoyed, praised everyone, and then arranged the counter-insurgency affairs in an orderly manner.

"The most important thing at the moment is to avoid the merger of the rebels in Shanxi and Shaanxi. In the area from Puzhou in Shanxi to Hancheng in Shaanxi, there are private pseudo-Korean kings such as Yu Yin, Han Zhaoxuan, and Li Qisheng. They have been acting as puppets forever, and their ambitions are not small. I Together with Esai, the minister of household affairs, he led 10,000 troops to exterminate the bandits and cut off the connection between Shanxi and Shaanxi."

"嗻", Esai shouted loudly to receive the order.

"As for the rebel Wang Yongqiang in northern Shaanxi," Meng Qiaofang then ordered, "I intend to divide the king's thief in three groups. Hamu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, led 6,000 troops, starting from Qingyang as the left route, and Shaanxi Governor Huang Erxing led Seven thousand soldiers will start from Yichuan as the right route. Wu Sangui and Li Guohan, together with Han Qiang general Zhang Tianfu and Xing'an Town guerrilla Sheng Jiading's 23,000 troops, will start from Yanzhou as the middle route."

"Whoo!"

"Yes!"

The generals received their orders loudly and their fighting spirit was high.

"Governor Xian, we must guard against the ambitions of the Wei Kingdom in the west," Huang Erxing, the governor of Shaanxi Province, suddenly said. He had been in Shaanxi for a long time and knew the power of the Guards' cavalry.

Meng Qiaofang nodded, "What Mr. Huang said is true. Suletan, who defended the country, was very ambitious. He had sent troops to attack Lintao and Ningxia in the past few years. I heard that this beast was so rampant that he claimed to be the Lotus Khan of Mongolia. , we must prevent him from taking advantage of the fire. I have ordered General Zhao Guangrui and Deputy General Ma Ning to lead 10,000 troops to garrison Ningxia; General Zhang Yong and Deputy General Tong Tou to lead 10,000 troops to garrison Lintao Prefecture; the defense of Xi'an will be left to the General Soldier Liu Fangming, deputy general Chen De".

"Governor Xian, the Lianhua Khan of the Wei Kingdom has just married the eldest princess Gu Lun Wenzhuang of the Qing Dynasty. He shouldn't turn his back on her so quickly." Haha Mu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was a little unconvinced.

"You have just arrived in Shaanxi not long ago, and you don't know much about this Lianhua Khan. This person is famous for being sinister and vicious! It's better to be careful!" Meng Qiaofang said with a smile.
