Saving the Ming Dynasty: I can exchange bodies with Chongzhen

Chapter 195 The Death of Duoduo, Part !

The betrayal of his first wife, the suppression of Duoduo, the ridicule of his colleagues, the rebellion of Ming Dynasty spies... many factors came together to make Danzhu, an already extremely resentful powder keg, burst out with tremendous power.

August 23rd, night.

Duoduo hosted a banquet for seven Jiala Zhangjing and twenty-three Niulu Zhangjing in the central army camp.

This is their custom. Whenever there is a big battle or a life-and-death fight, the generals must be given a meal to show their love for their subordinates, and it is also a way of telling them.

I have done everything I can, and now I have to rely on you.

The banquet was in full swing at this time. Duoduo toasted everyone with a wine glass. Danzhu came in from outside with a jar of wine and poured wine for many generals.

Batu, who was sitting on the seat at this time, pointed at the Danzhu and said, "Isn't this the Danzhu? Why do I remember that the master didn't ask you to come over? Oh... That's right, you are also qualified to pour wine for us!"

"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter.

At this time, a corner of the tent was opened again, and two women came in and toasted the generals.

And one of them was Danzhu's first wife...

Danzhu's entire body was trembling, hatred gnawing at his heart like a monster, "I'll go check downstairs, the roasted whole lamb should be almost cooked."

Finding an excuse, Danzhu walked out quickly.

Danzhu walked out of the tent with his hair standing on end and veins popping out on his forehead. He was trying to suppress his inner anger, "Hu...Hu~"

He came to the roasted whole lamb, reached out his trembling hands and took out a few sharp knives from the belly of the lamb.

All those who came to attend the "reward banquet" took off their armor and swords.

He had been captured by Duoduo's guards before coming in, but Jinyiwei's intelligence personnel were not only developing Danzhu. Long before that, a "Yebushou" personnel had already joined Duoduo's cooking team.

Although he was a chef, he never had the chance to cook. Every time Duoduo ate, there were people tasting the food.

Poisoning was not an option, and the cook had no way to get close to the other party, so he had not been able to achieve any success.

After Danzhu took the knife, he rubbed the grease on it with some grass to prevent it from slipping in his hand when he used it later.

……

At this time, three rounds of drinking had already been served in the tent.

Danzhu hid the knife under his clothes, and then found his two younger brothers who were on duty outside and his two cousins ​​again.

His two younger brothers are now Duoduo's personal guards, and his two cousins ​​serve under him.

Because of the Danzhu incident, the two brothers were in a bad situation.

"Done?"

"It's done. We usually have a good relationship. None of them thought that we would take action against them." Danzhu's two younger brothers dealt with several bodyguards nearby and dragged them to a place where no one could see them.

"In a moment, the two of you stand inside the door, and kill anyone who comes out." Since Danzhu was preparing to rebel, it was impossible for him to ignore his two younger brothers, otherwise, as soon as he rebelled, they would surely be massacred.

"After you succeed, immediately run towards the reef to the south. There is a small boat prepared by the Ming court for us, which can take us directly to Denglai of the Ming court."

The four people nodded, "Okay!"

After everything was arranged, Danzhu quickly entered the tent.

"How is it, is the roasted whole lamb ready?"

"It will be ready soon." Danzhu walked over, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

This uncharacteristic behavior made everyone pause. Duoduo also looked at him indifferently, "What do you mean by Danzhu? Drinking by yourself?"

Danzhu suddenly laughed, "If you were not born in the Aixinjueluo clan, would you be qualified to be the master?"

"If it weren't for people like you, would the Qing Dynasty be in the state it is today?"

Everyone turned pale.

"Danzhu, are you courting death?" Batu stood up suddenly and grabbed Danzhu by the collar, "You are showing off in front of the master, and..."

"Stop it!" Duoduo stopped Batu and scolded Danzhu coldly, "You can't even take care of your own wife, and you are embarrassing yourself here? You know what I despise the most is people like you."

"I am embarrassed, so isn't it even more embarrassing to steal someone's stuff?"

"You bastard, are you crazy? Don't you have any rules at all?" Batu couldn't bear it anymore and punched Danzhu in the face.

However, the next moment, Batu suddenly took two steps back, covering his stomach, and saw that it was completely torn open from the xiphoid process to below the navel, and his intestines were flowing out.

Spots of blood kept dripping down.

Batu struggled and tried to grab Danzhu's hand, but was kicked away by the latter and could never get up again.

Two screams were heard in the tent at the same time.

They were the women who came to accompany the drinking. One of them ran fast and was almost at the door, but was stabbed in the stomach by two bodyguards. The one behind her ran slowly and was stabbed in the back of the waist just as she ran to Danzhu, and fell to the ground.

This person is Danzhu's wife.

Deep love, deep hatred.

After dealing with the woman, Danzhu walked a few steps to Duoduo's side. With a whoosh, blood plasma shot into the sky like a fountain, shooting into the broth in front of him, dyeing the entire pot red.

The knife did not kill Duoduo directly because he blocked it with his right arm.

The candlelight in the tent flickered, casting shadows on three dark figures who kept raising their arms and waving them again and again.

at the same time,

A huge roar suddenly erupted in the camp.

Where the food and fodder were located, flames shot up into the sky and thick smoke billowed out.

"Go away, go out..."

"Come and put out the fire!"

Loud shouts suddenly rang out, and the soldiers in the camp where the Bordered Yellow Banner was located all looked towards the location of the food and grass. Seeing that the fire was huge, they hurried to put out the fire.

But when they rushed over, they found that it was not the food that was on fire, but the grass and trees on a barren slope near the food that was burning.

"Who the hell has nothing better to do than to make a fuss?"

After the fire was put out, someone couldn't help but frown, "Something seems to be wrong. Could it be that the Ming court or Kong Youde is trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

"Go, go back!"

When they rushed back, they saw that the Marshal's tent was completely quiet. Only in the central army's tent, there was a faint light coming from it.

Along the way, there were also the bodies of several of the marshal's personal guards.

Everyone rushed in to see what was going on.

When the tent was opened, everyone's pupils suddenly contracted and the blood in their bodies stopped flowing.

The smell of blood suddenly pierced everyone's lungs, making them want to vomit.

The table and the floor were covered with blood, which formed small black and purple pits.

A bloody knife was inserted into Duoduo's neck, but strangely, Duoduo's head disappeared.

In addition, the bodies of more than 20 generals including Batu were also lying on the ground, and all of them had their heads missing.

“The sky…the sky is falling!”

The entire Bordered White Banner, from the banner leader to the Niulu Zhangjing, was beheaded. What does this mean?
The Eight Banners descendants present knew it very well.

"How to do?"

The master, from top to bottom, is all dead, and the fate that these personal guards will face is bound to be death.

"It's either death or we will rebel!" "But how can we rebel? Who can we turn to?"

"King Zhishun, we can only rely on King Zhishun for now."

"Don't make it public for now. Let's disguise the scene while others don't know..."

……

Under normal circumstances, this assassination would most likely not succeed.

Even though Danzhu was a skilled martial artist, it would be extremely difficult for him to kill Duoduo when facing more than 20 generals.

But at today's reward banquet, Duoduo and the other generals drank a lot and felt dizzy. Their movements had begun to become deformed. Facing three warriors in their prime, the situation was one-sided from the beginning.

Several generals wanted to go forward to rescue Duoduo, but were stopped by Danzhu's two younger brothers.

In addition, the Danzhu attacked suddenly, and Duoduo was able to react in time, which was already good enough. However, the opponent had a knife in his hand, and he could not resist after just a few hits, and his throat was cut.

Danzhu chopped off Duoduo's head with a sharp knife, covered it with the cloth on the table, and then worked together with his two brothers to kill all the generals.

"With Duoduo's head and the heads of these White Banner generals, it is time for us brothers to be prosperous and wealthy."

"go!"

The five men never imagined that their attack would cause a chain reaction. Not only did they rebel, but Dodo's guards also rebelled.

In order to prevent others from discovering them in advance, they disguised the scene, so that the five people escaped safely. Until they boarded the boat to Ming Dynasty, they still felt that the journey was extremely incredible.

The next day, until dawn, the Qing camp was suddenly in an uproar.

……

The news spread back to Shengjing, causing another huge sensation.

"Prince Yu is dead? How is that possible?"

In the court, Dorgon looked at the news sent back by Yuetuo, his eyes blazing with anger, "No, absolutely not... The information must be wrong, how could Duoduo die?"

Under the tear film in his eyes, there was a wild animal-like light flashing, "This news must be false."

"Explore again!"

"More exploration..."

The blue veins on Dorgon's arms were clearly visible, and the sound was like muffled thunder, rolling over the court and spreading far away.

But on the third day, Duoduo's coffin returned to Shengjing.

Dorgon, wearing plain clothes, hugged the coffin and cried loudly, "You were only 25 years old, why are you gone..."

As the 15th son of Nurhaci, he was brave and good at fighting and was deeply loved by his father. During Nurhaci's era, Duoduo's status was higher than that of his brother Dorgon, and he had the largest number of Niulu under his command, 35 Niulu.

The army is controlled by the flag owners. Looking at the strength of the "single flag" alone, Duoduo's White Bordered Banner is the strongest.

Duoduo's Bordered White Banner, formerly the Plain Yellow Banner, was Nurhaci's personal guard. In his later years, Nurhaci let Duoduo take over the Plain Yellow Banner, and Nurhaci's personal guards were also managed by Duoduo.

During the reign of Huang Taiji, he was very wary of Duoduo and made many adjustments, but Duoduo still had outstanding military achievements and the Bordered White Banner remained the strongest.

Duoduo has a large number of soldiers under his command and his own fighting ability is strong, so his strength should not be underestimated.

As long as the Bordered White Banner takes the lead, they will be invincible.

Emperor Qianlong of later times commented: Among the founding kings, Prince Yu Duoduo had the most outstanding military achievements.

It can be said that the biggest support for Dorgon to ascend to the throne was Duoduo.

Now that he had just ascended the throne and was facing internal and external troubles, Duoduo passed away. How could Dorgon not be heartbroken?
……

The capital of Ming Dynasty,

Zhu Changgan was attending the morning court, but he was not listening to the memorials of the court officials. Instead, he squinted his eyes to check the progress of his main line.

But I found that the main line suddenly improved a lot, and the progress bar suddenly changed from the original 4980 to... "Main line task save the Ming Dynasty completion: 5899/10000"

what's going on?
"The Ming Dynasty's national fortune value: 2048, (the national fortune is positive, the trend of natural disasters and the cooling of the small ice age has stopped, and the temperature will gradually return to normal, but the people are living in dire straits and need to change urgently."

"The Ming Dynasty has lasted for 1500 days"

「Modern lifespan bonus: 1500 days」

「Funding reward: 41095891.5 yuan」

Zhu Changgan's eyes suddenly lit up and his blood flowed faster. Sure enough, the duration of the Ming Dynasty was extended even longer than before.

It increased by more than 500 days in one go, a year and a half.

At this speed, are we still far from the goal?
Just as he was wondering, a eunuch came to report, "Your Majesty, there is news from Liaodong that Duoduo was killed by our people..."

"Who?" Zhu Changgan stood up suddenly after hearing this. "Did they kill Duoduo? And there are so many generals of the Bordered White Banner."

"No wonder, no wonder!"

"Your Majesty, how should the Danzhu be rewarded?" Ma Shiwei, deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, asked with some difficulty.

"Confer the title of King of Loyalty!"

"Sigh~"

Everyone present suddenly opened their eyes wide, and Yang Sichang stood up and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, there is no precedent before."

Sun Chengzong also stood up and seconded the proposal, "From the time of Emperor Hongwu to the present, over the past two hundred years, although there have been kings of the opposite sex, they were all conferred posthumously, that is, after death."

"Your Majesty, please think twice!~"

"Why is there no precedent?" Zhu Changgan said with a smile, "Aren't there two legitimate kings of the opposite sex who were crowned alive?"

The loyal and brave king Jinzhong was a Mongolian named Yesen Tugan. He had hurt Zhu Di in the past, but after surrendering, he was made a king and given the name Jinzhong. This Jinzhong actually led Zhu Di to fight against the Mongols.

Another one was Altan Khan, the King of Shunyi. After the peace agreement between Longqing and Altan, Longqing offered tribute and this Khan of the Mongolian tribe became a king of a different surname in the Ming Dynasty and had a brotherly relationship with Longqing.

"This battle has broken the backbone of the Bordered White Banner, so why can't I be crowned king?"

In Zhu Changgan's mind, he really didn't think that it was a big deal to crown a person of the opposite sex as king.

After all, by the time of the Southern Ming Dynasty, there were too many kings of different surnames who were granted titles while still alive, and the title of king became completely worthless, and only those who were decent were given the title.

But when that time really comes, even if he is crowned king, he will not be able to save the Ming Dynasty.

"Besides, although he was given the title of king, he did not have any fiefdom." Zhu Changgan continued, "This move is not only for the sake of showing to the subjects of the Ming Dynasty, but more for the sake of showing to the people of the Qing Dynasty. If they can give the title of Sanshun King, why can't the Ming Dynasty give the Manchus the title of king?"

"With such merit, if you are not granted the title of king, would you still be willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty if you were a Qing soldier?"

Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, the ministers persisted for a while and finally stopped submitting memorials.

The Ming Dynasty court was also result-oriented.

During the reign of Huang Taiji, the Ming Dynasty had been helpless in the face of the Qing Dynasty's "cutting down big trees" strategy, but now the emperor is doing the opposite.

Prince Yu, Duoduo!

"This knife" actually struck the root of the Qing Dynasty in such a way that the court officials had never expected such a result.

"When there is something to do, we will start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we will retreat."

As Wang Chengen spoke, Zhu Changgan stood up and left.

The ministers were left looking at each other in bewilderment, and their gazes towards the emperor changed drastically again.
