Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 359 The big happy event

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang looked at the civil and military officials below, and sighed softly.

"My dear family, I think everyone knows that the Qing Dynasty is experiencing a catastrophe due to internal and external troubles. The 20 Ming army has already left Jinzhou, and the troops will be approaching the city soon. Please give me your advice on how to resist the enemy."

All the civil and military people present could be called the elites of the Qing Dynasty, but at this moment they all looked at each other in blank dismay, completely silent.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang asked several times, but still no one spoke, and there was some displeasure on her jade-like face.

"What's the matter with all of you? The Han people have a saying that eating the king's salary, repaying the king's kindness, the rise and fall of the country, and everyone's responsibility. With my salary from the Qing Dynasty, every one of you is very capable and complains about yourself. Officials, small and insignificant, all hate that heroes have no place to use, have no way to serve the country, fight for this and that, hate the sky and the earth, and now the opportunity has come, as long as you can retreat, I will give you whatever you want , why, they are all dumb!"

Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's words, even sarcasm and sarcasm, were even more uncomfortable than cursing and slapping people in the face, which made the servants below all look miserable, as depressed as a concubine.

The civil and military ministers present at this time, whether they are Han, Mongols or Manchu Tartars, are not all incompetent people. Those who stand here are all high-ranking and powerful people, whether they are civil or military, and they are all elites of classes and tribes. .

They all have brains in their heads. This is not the end of the late Qing Dynasty, when the court was full of trash, and now the people here are all the founding heroes of the Qing Dynasty.

The reason why they didn't dare to speak rashly was because they were all modest and it was inconvenient to speak first.In terms of making suggestions, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan are here. If they don't talk, who dares to talk nonsense?
And among these two people, Ning Wan, who has experienced several ups and downs in the officialdom and has been in prison, has seen through the world of mortals, and I don't want to be a barking dog anymore. Moreover, he speaks without restraint, is straight-hearted, women are prone to argue about truth and falsehood, and offended many people. Finally, he was thrown into prison as a wolf. It is quite deep, so he no longer wants to be a barking dog for his master.

And now Fan Wencheng has fallen out of favor because of the strategy of using the Han to control the Han, so he has fallen out of favor, so it is inconvenient for him to say more.

If these two civil officials don't speak, no one among the civil officials dares to speak.

As for strategizing and fighting on the battlefield, Dorgon is here, and the regent doesn't speak, who would dare to play the piano indiscriminately?

And now is an extraordinary period, and the situation in front of them is very serious, and they all know it.Prince Su Haoge and Beizi Nikan were killed one after another, Hong Chengchou's entire army was wiped out, the Minister of War Hong Chengchou and Prince Azig, the first warrior in Manchuria and the commander of the guards, Oboi, are still alive and dead. Are people more awesome?

Therefore, these generals did not dare to make mistakes.

Therefore, no matter how the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang loses her temper, even if she scolds their ancestors for eight generations, these people are still cautious, walking on thin ice, keeping their mouths shut, and never taking the lead in speaking nonsense.

This made the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang angry, and her flowery face also turned hideous.

At this moment, Dorgon finally lost his composure and spoke.

Why can this powerful figure who is all-powerful, defiant, and only one step away from the Dragon Chair of the Qing Dynasty be able to endure until now?If it were normal, he would have exploded long ago.

Of course there are reasons.One is that because Dorgon had just recovered from a serious illness, he was still unable to go to the battlefield to charge on horseback, and his bloodiness seemed a little lacking.

What's more, because of the Battle of Shanhaiguan and the Battle of Huanggutun years ago, he was defeated one after another in front of Lin Yi. Now when he thinks of Lin Yi, he still has a shadow in his heart.

Now Hong Chengchou in the Qing Dynasty was defeated again, Nikan and Boluo were also defeated, and he is also a defeated general now. You must know that a defeated general cannot be brave, otherwise it would be like slapping himself in the face in public.

Therefore, Dorgon has been embarrassed to speak, he just waited for the officials below, but after waiting for a long time, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, all of them were playing tricks.

The regent finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Queen, I have something to say."

Finally someone spoke, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang saw that it was Dorgon, and her voice softened. After all, he is the regent of a country.According to the regulations of the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon should be in charge of the government, not her as the empress dowager who is chaotic in the harem, not to mention that the two of them still have some ambiguous feelings that cannot be revealed.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's complexion became much better, and her voice became softer.

"Prince Regent, please speak if you have something to say."

"This lord has summed up the fact that the defeats of the Qing Dynasty were all at the hands of Daming's firearms. Although our red cannons are not inferior to those of the Ming army, the man named Lin has a musket. The team is very powerful. This kind of musket is so advanced that it does not need a matchlock to ignite it. It can shoot with just a single pull of the trigger, and it can knock down enemies 200 paces away with just one pull of the trigger. This is far beyond the reach of ordinary muskets and bows. As long as If we can get a batch of these muskets and enough ammunition, it will not be a problem to retreat."

When Dorgon said this, he paused for a moment.When he said this, the ministers of civil and military affairs below all echoed and nodded, thinking that what he said to me was reasonable.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang also nodded. If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his weapon. Weapons are not as good as human beings. How can they win battles?Just like when there were no red-clothed cannons before, didn't their Eight Banners children often fail in battles with the Ming army?Only in the field they are good at can they win.

But how to get a batch of these muskets?It will take too long to grab a few and imitate them, and then form a combat force after mass production, and it will be too late.Going to buy it, I'm afraid I can't find a supplier now. Even if I can find a supplier, it won't be able to immediately form a combat power after buying it?In other words, even if Ji Dong gave them a batch of muskets, they would not be able to use them.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang sighed again when she thought of this, "The Prince Regent is right, why don't we just bow our heads to Daming and surrender."

As soon as the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang said this, all the civil servants and generals present were shocked.

Dorgon said smugly: "The queen mother is not allowed, why did you say that? The king has not finished speaking, even if there is no musket, he must not surrender to these southern barbarians, otherwise how can we be worthy of our ancestors? We can only fight bloody, There are still tens of thousands of soldiers in my Qing Dynasty. This king is willing to take them to fight to the death. If it is not enough, we can retreat to the city of Hetuala and think of other ways. We can win the battle without muskets, just like there was no red before. Yi Da Pao, didn’t the Qing also establish a country?”

When Dorgon said this, the civil servants and military generals below also said: "The regent is right, we must not submit to Daming, we are willing to work with the regent, and fight Lin Yi to the death!"

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang didn't have much hope and confidence in them at all. If she lost every battle, could she still stand up to such a toss early in the morning?

At this moment, an eunuch came in and whispered in the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's ear: "Lafayette, Prince Azig, Minister of War Hong Chengchou and Aobai were all captured by the Ming army. Lin Yi didn't kill them." They intend to use them to exchange several concubines and Fujin, and they want to use this method to win over the descendants of Lin Dan Khan and form an alliance with the Chahar tribe, so as to disintegrate the relationship between our Qing Dynasty and the Chahar tribe."

"Oh, is the news reliable?" The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang immediately regained her spirits after hearing this.

"Lafayette, absolutely reliable." The little eunuch said in his unique voice.

"Okay, thanks to the Ai family's preparations, the Ai family will exchange with them." The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's two watery eyes rolled around.

She and the eunuch were talking in whispers, and everyone present didn't know what was going on, including Dorgon, they looked at them and dared not say anything.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was thinking about this deal, Hong Chengchou, Azige, Aobai, who are these people?These are the pillars of the Qing Dynasty, the generals, and Lin Yi actually wants to exchange the three of them for Lin Danhan's women?This is a huge deal for them.

Isn't it Lin Danhan's few women?Remnant flowers and willows, what big concubine, Fujin?
These three women are one of Huang Taiji's concubines, Huang Taiji is no longer around, and the other is Kirhalang's Fujin, Jierharang is disabled, even if there are many women who don't abolish him, they don't care about it woman.There is also Dorgon's Fujin, and there are more women in Dorgon.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang felt hot when she thought about it. For such a cheap deal, the surname Lin had to find the door to do it. Could it be that his brain was caught by the door?

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was wrong again. These three women were of great value to Lin Yi. If he successfully rescued these three women, Lin Danhan's descendants would definitely be grateful for Lin Yi's kindness. Zhe must repay his kindness, and the surname Lin can win over the Chahar tribe, which has a population of tens of thousands!

The person surnamed Lin really knows how to make wishes!

But this deal is not a disadvantage to them, it must be done.You must know that the return of these three people is very important to the Qing Dynasty. Don't look at them as defeated, but where is their ability? Winning or losing is a common thing for military strategists. No matter where it goes, it can be worth a thousand horses and thousands of troops, especially for the current Qing Dynasty, it is simply indispensable.

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was not without excitement and said: "My dear friends, the Ai family has good news for everyone. Hong Zhongtang, Prince Ying, and Lord Ao are all safe and sound, and will return to the capital safely in the near future."

Hearing these words, all the civil and military generals present felt as if they were in the clouds and fog.

Dorgon said: "Queen Mother, what is the happy event, can you express it?"

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang simply told the story, and finally said as if she had found a savior: "Now we are saved. The Lin surname will use a few women to change generals with us. Our Qing Dynasty is saved again!"

After saying this, all the civil and military officials below were talking about it. They thought that Azig, Obai, and Hong Chengchou were in danger, because they knew that Lin Yi would not keep any prisoners for them from the Qing Dynasty, but killed them all, and they were not allowed. surrender.

This time they were captured, and they had to change generals. This is a great thing. Once these three adults come, the strength of the Qing Dynasty will be multiplied. What is most needed now is a general like them who can conquer battles , a talent for strategizing.

Therefore, all civil and military officials showed joy on their faces.

Dorgon was also overjoyed when he heard this, but then he became a little worried.

After the court was over, Dorgon went straight to the Cining Palace, the residence of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, the little eunuch on duty shouted: "The Prince Regent has arrived—"

Dorgon ignored him and walked in directly.

After two more gates, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang sleeps inside. Just as Dorgon couldn't go in, a beautiful shadow stood in front of him...
