Chapter 176 The King of Korea
What is Li Laiheng going north all of a sudden?
Li Laiheng's going north is of great strategic significance. Before he establishes the Henan base, he must have a corresponding strategic reinforcement in the Northeast and North Korea.He was going to sweep Liaodong before the heavy snow, beat Dandong, cross the Yalu River, and ally with North Korea.

Of course, it is not easy to form an alliance with North Korea. Nurhachi and Huang Taiji have already conquered North Korea. Now it is really difficult for Li Laiheng to form an alliance with them, because he does not have the basic conditions for an alliance with them.However, Li Laiheng planned to give it a try. At least, he wanted to let North Korea know that there was still a hurdle to overcome in the Manchu Qing rule of China, and that was the hurdle of Li Laiheng's army.

The Korean nation and the Chinese nation have an inseparable historical continuity. They are stubborn and stubborn. They can succumb to a big country, but they will not be completely succumbed. scare them.

North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but now, or many years ago, they have become a strong supporter of the Manchu Qing, and they have continuously sent military rations and soldiers to the Manchu Qing.

Li Laiheng moved north and east quickly, and soon reached Shenyang. The Manchu troops guarding the northeast were already very thin, but suddenly faced with a strong cavalry team, the whole of Shenyang panicked.

The little emperor Shunzhi who was planning to go to Beijing to live in the Forbidden City had already returned to Shenyang. Now Li Laiheng's troops suddenly pointed their swords at Shenyang. It was obvious that they were targeting the Manchu emperor. Therefore, Shenyang was quite nervous.

Shenyang has sent more than a dozen groups of troops to the south to report and seek help from Dorgon.

The princes guarding Shenyang held several meetings, and finally decided unanimously to hide the emperor, and all the soldiers and civilians in the city guarded the city and waited for the return of Dorgon's army.

Li Laiheng was also very patient and courageous. He stood still outside the city of Shenyang for seven days. He neither attacked the city nor traveled far.It wasn't until the eighth day, after Li Laiheng received reinforcements from Dorgon's army going north, that he suddenly raised his troops across Shenyang, continued eastward, and went straight to Dandong.

Arriving outside Dandong City, there were only a small number of troops stationed in the city to maintain local law and order. Suddenly, an army of ten thousand troops was found. They thought that something major happened to North Korea and the Qing government sent troops to quell the chaos, so they did not Ask, quickly open the city gate to welcome.After they opened the city gate, they found that they were all teams without braids, and then they realized that the gate was opened by mistake.

Li Laiheng did not kill anyone in Dandong City, because the officials and soldiers in the city cooperated very well, slaughtered pigs and sheep, and entertained them with good wine and meat.That night, Li Laiheng sent a team of people to North Korea together with the prefect of Dandong to invite the king, or princes and ministers of North Korea to discuss matters in Dandong.

Dandong is not far from Pyongyang, the straight road is only [-] miles away, and it can be reached in one day by fast horse.When the king of Joseon saw that the magistrate of Dandong had come to invite him, he thought that the Manchu Qing government had sent him to deliver some important instructions. When they explained that they came to invite him to Dandong to discuss matters, he was very unhappy. Clearly, I thought to myself, going to Manchuria to discuss matters probably has nothing good to do, either to ask for food or soldiers, certainly not for drinking a few bowls of wine, nor for eating a few pieces of beef.Therefore, he made excuses and said that the weather was about to turn bad, and he had rheumatism, so he couldn't catch the cold, so if he had any instructions, he would ask the magistrate to speak directly.

When the magistrate of Dandong was having a hard time saying anything, Li Laiheng's envoy said, Your lord, you have to go to Dandong this time, and it would be a great care of you not to let you go to Beijing.This time I invite you to Dandong, I want you to meet a person, this person, whoever wants to meet, does not mean that you can see it, and ordinary people will never see it.

When the king of Korea heard this, he was secretly surprised. Could it be that the young emperor Fulin of Manchukuo came to Dandong?What is he doing in Dandong?
Now that Emperor Shunzhi had arrived in Dandong, there was no reason not to see him as the king of the vassal state. Therefore, he led the important figures of the court to rush to Dandong together.

When he came to Dandong, King Li Shiyu of North Korea saw that the young man sitting in the main seat had no braids on his head.How did the Han people come here?Who is this man?
Just being suspicious, Li Laiheng spoke.

Li Laiheng looked at the suspicious North Korean king, he smiled and said, let me introduce myself, I, Li Laiheng, the leader of the Li Laiheng army of the Dashun Dynasty, came thousands of miles to Dandong just to meet you.Originally, I could also come to North Korea, but my [-] elites are too conspicuous, and I think it is impolite to suddenly appear in front of your city of Pyongyang, so I have to excuse you.There is only one purpose for coming here this time, to tell you that you used to be a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, but now you have taken refuge in the Qing Dynasty. I understand that a weak country has no diplomacy.In the future, I, Li Laiheng, will destroy the Manchus. Therefore, during the war between me and the Manchus, you should try your best not to subsidize the Manchus. If you can support me, I will keep it in mind and it will be good for you.

This remark made the King of Korea even more confused.

Isn't this the backyard of Manchukuo?A Li Laiheng came to the backyard of Manchuria with [-] soldiers and horses, and said these big words carelessly.Over the years, the Manchu and Qing soldiers have been famous for their bravery and skill in fighting. The Ming soldiers will face the Qing soldiers repeatedly defeated. Now a young man with a hairy head has traveled thousands of miles, crossed Shenyang, the capital of Manchuria, and came to the border between China and North Korea. Isn’t this a joke?
However, all of this is indeed not a dream.

In the eyes of the King of Korea, the Qing soldiers were invincible. How did Li Laiheng come here?How to go back?
Li Laiheng saw his surprise and confusion, and said with a smile: "My lord, you don't need to worry about my comings and goings. Originally, we could capture Shenyang two days ago, but what good will it do me to capture Shenyang? Fulin, the little emperor? They will establish a new emperor, so there is no need to kill Fulin, a brat. To rob them of their property? Compared with our Dashun Dynasty in Manchuria, what property does he have to rob? Therefore, we are not interested in fighting Shenyang. However, you may be wondering, isn’t it good to burn the military rations? Turned into ashes, because I have sent more than 100 people into Shenyang, and these 100 people have enough people to burn this amount of food and grass. Tonight, just wait for the good show. My lord, I, Li Laiheng, will not embarrass you , as long as you remember, contributing to my Dashun Dynasty will definitely bring better benefits in the future than contributing to the Qing Dynasty. Now, you have nothing to do, he is next to you, so you can just deal with them perfunctorily."

The king of North Korea heard Li Laiheng's words, and he gradually began to like the young general in front of him.He didn't think Li Laiheng's request was too much, because Li Laiheng didn't rudely raise specific and harsh demands. In the future, he can advance and retreat with a basis.

When Li Laiheng met with the King of North Korea, Dorgon was already very close to Shenyang, and he hadn't fully figured out what Li Laiheng was going to do, so he urged the troops to enter the city as soon as possible, and he was going to find out Li Laiheng's current location and location. Specific intentions will be made further plans later.

When they came to the imperial palace in Shengjing, Fulin disappeared. The eunuch saw that the emperor's father and the regent had returned, and told him that the emperor had gone to hide elsewhere.He hurriedly sent someone to invite the emperor back.

Soon, Fulin returned to the palace, and Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang accompanied Fulin. When she saw Dorgon, the beauty Xiaozhuang burst into tears.

When Dorgon saw it, his heart ached.His beloved woman was tearful, if not for the presence of court ladies and eunuchs, he would have hugged her into his arms and loved her enough.

It can't work now, not only the palace maid is there, but Xiao Fulin is also there, he can only sit upright and discuss important matters with Xiaozhuang.

Xiaozhuang suppressed his tears and said, "Father Regent, can we go back outside the pass? We have no way to occupy the territory of the Han people. Our mother and son have already been frightened by this Li Laiheng twice."

When Dorgon heard the words of withdrawing from the customs, he suddenly became proud and said loudly: "I, Dorgon, can't protect women and children. I should have died of shame. But now our military situation has suddenly changed, and Li Zicheng has already withdrawn." In Shaanxi, Li Laiheng also broke out from Beijing. This time he went out of the customs, nothing more than to scare us. He has 1 horses, not to mention outside the customs, even if he is inside the customs, it will not be of much use. So, don't worry, Now that the city of Beijing has been cleaned up, you and your mother can live in the Forbidden City, that is the home we want."

His words are also true. From a military point of view, Dorgon has indeed won an unprecedented victory. Li Zicheng has become a defeated army. Li Laiheng has also withdrawn from Beijing, which has been holding on for half a year. Advance, then break through the defense line of the Yangtze River and wipe out the resistance forces.

Xiao Zhuang said that if he quit the customs, it was just a woman's coquettishness. Why didn't she want her son to become the lord of China?Xiaozhuang is originally a hero among women. Not only is she beautiful, but her ambition and wisdom are rare among women.Now when I hear Dorgon talk about the military situation in the country, I naturally like it.

Xiao Zhuang has longed for the beautiful scenery of China since he was a child. He heard from his mother that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is extremely beautiful, and it is impossible to see such green mountains and green waters outside the Great Wall.Suzhou and Hangzhou, heaven and earth, even the emperors of all dynasties like to visit there.She has also heard that the Forbidden City in Beijing is magnificent, and no other palace in the world can compare with it.

"My son should live in such a palace! My son should be the master of this country!" Xiao Zhuang cried out in his heart.

"Father, Regent, political affairs, you are in charge. My wife is just worried, so don't change your strategy because of my sudden words. This man named Li Laiheng, why is he so powerful?" Xiao Zhuang said.

"Well, this guy is really powerful. This time, he went deep into our land of Manchuria alone. Didn't he come to die? It is said that he went to the northeast. It happened that I brought fifty thousand elites and trapped them to death in the ice and snow. "

"Why is he going northeast? The weather will turn cold soon, and a heavy snow will bury them."

Dorgon laughed out loud, he really couldn't figure it out, Li Laiheng didn't foresee a problem that even a woman could see clearly?Could it be that he is confused and doesn't know that there will be heavy snow in the north?

Seeing Dorgon smiling so happily, Xiao Zhuang's heart trembled, and his mind quickly remembered his strong muscles and his powerful words.The whole body is hot, and the face is also hot.Her fiery eyes glanced at Dorgon, and it happened that Dorgon's heroic eyes were also looking at her.Her heart suddenly jumped violently.

"You go out, Your Majesty, you go out for a while, we have something important to discuss." Dorgon said.

Although Fulin was young, he knew that Dorgon wanted to sleep with Er Niang in his arms. He had heard their panting and moaning sounds when they were sleeping.In the past, he didn't know what they were doing. He asked Er Niang, and Er Niang said that men and women would dream when they slept. When dreaming, sometimes they were very happy, as if they had become gods, and sometimes they were terrible, as if they had seen a devil. .Later, he secretly looked at the painting on Erniang's bedside, where two naked men and women were tightly entwined, and he seemed to understand what was going on.

Today, he knew that the emperor's father, the regent, was going to be tightly entangled with Er Niang again.That's why he hated it, thinking, when I grow up, I will definitely kill you.

Dorgon and Xiaozhuang haven't been intimate for a long time, and the enthusiasm that had been suppressed for too long broke out all of a sudden.

As soon as Fulin and the maid and eunuch left, Dorgon hugged Xiaozhuang in his arms. They rushed into the bedroom before they could take a shower, and hurriedly stripped off their clothes. How could they have time to do warm-up exercises?All kissing, touching, and caressing were omitted, and Dorgon rode on Xiaozhuang's body with a leap of a tiger.

Dorgon, who is alive and well, is not only brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, but also mighty in bed. Thanks to Xiaozhuang, he is also a good at fighting, otherwise Dorgon can conquer more than three women in one night.But in front of Xiaozhuang, he can only say that if you meet your opponent, you will meet a good talent.

Due to several months of lovesickness, Xiao Zhuang has been in love for a long time, and Dorgon's golden gun is mighty. The two went to bed and went straight to the point.

However, following Xiaozhuang's first cheerful "ah", the personal eunuch outside the door whispered anxiously: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the Regent, there is an urgent military report."

"Get out!" Dorgon said before entering, and that could allow others to disturb him.

"Your Majesty, this slave can't go away, the military situation is indeed urgent."

"Say it! Damn it, what's so urgent?"

"Li Laiheng has entered Shengjing."

"what"

Dorgon turned over and got off the bed naked, before his words softened, he kicked the eunuch at the door.

"You lied about the military situation, you are courting death!"

"The servant is not lying about the military situation. There is news from outside that Li Laiheng's large army has entered the city."

Dorgon regained consciousness a little, and asked, "How many soldiers and horses have entered the city?"

"My slave doesn't know. There are already three places on fire. The granary at the north gate is on fire. When I came in, I could see black smoke billowing over there."

"Come here!" Dorgon no longer doubted, especially when he heard that the fire at the north gate must be the fire in the granary, so it's okay?Food and grass are already tight. Once the big warehouse is burned, what will the millions of soldiers and civilians eat?He hurried out.

"Your Majesty, Guang Guang"

It took Dorgon three seconds to realize that the eunuch said he was not wearing pants, and that was flickering.

Dorgon grabbed his trousers and put them on in a hurry, while glancing at the woman on the bed, she looked panicked.

"Don't be afraid, I'm going to kill Li Laiheng now!"
