The pain of losing a child made Hong Tai's condition worse. Not only did the nosebleeds that had stopped flow out again, but like Hai Lanzhu, he also fell into coma many times. This sudden situation left Abatai and Azig at a loss as to what they should do. It was better to stay in Shenyang and pursue the retreating Ming army. They were accustomed to Hong Tai giving orders, but now that Hong Tai had fallen, they had no idea and were in a panic. It really complied with the old saying that a group of dragons has no leader.
Dorgon proposed to leave a small number of troops to guard Hong Tai, and the rest should immediately go south to pursue the Ming army. His reason was that the Ming army was not good at field battles. If the Ming army was allowed to safely withdraw into Liaoyang City, it would be difficult to retain them. Moreover, Shenyang was completely plundered by the Ming army. If the Ming army could not be stopped, how would Dai Jin rely on to regain its strength in the coming year? What's more, the Eight Banners urgently needed a victory to prove to the world that they were still stronger than the Ming army. Otherwise, those naturalized What do the Mongolians and Koreans think? Once they feel that the Eight Banners are no longer invincible, the consequences will be much more serious than the fall of Shenyang.
Dorgon's suggestion is correct. The reason why the Eight Banners has always been able to dominate the Mongols and Koreans is that it is invincible against the Ming army. Once the myth of the Eight Banners' invincibility is broken by the Ming army, the Mongolians and the invincible The Koreans will definitely be dissatisfied, and the Han people will also be ready to make a move. If all the ethnic groups are really alienated from Dajin, then the collapse of Dajin is not far away.
The only thing that could undo the negative impact of Shenyang being captured by the Ming army was a great victory against the Ming army. Only by showing the still mighty muscles of the Eight Banners would those people not dare to move lightly.
How many people are left in the Eight Banners today, how many Mongolians are there, how many Koreans are there, and how many Han troops are there?
Abatai and Azig were not fools. Of course they knew the impact of the fall of Shenyang on the Eight Banners. They also wanted to send troops to chase the Ming army. However, due to Hong Tai's prestige in recent years, and without Hong Tai's explicit instructions, the two still refused. Those who dare to send troops without authorization are afraid that they will end up like Amin and Mang Gurtai.
The bodies of Daishan, Amin and Mang Gurtai have been discovered. Looking at these three Baylor brothers who were once famous in Dajin, Abatai and the others really have a lot of things to say, but they have no words to say.
In terms of status in the Eight Banners, Abatai and Azig are both Raoyu Beile, which is lower than Dorgon and Heshuo Beile. However, they are both Dorgon's brothers and they dare not send troops. Dorgon Gon did not dare to force them. Moreover, only one thousand of the three thousand cavalry in Shenyang belonged to him with the white flag, and the other two thousand were the troops with the two yellow flags led by Hong Tai. Without the unanimous consent of the Baylors, he, Dorgon, also commanded Those who do not move the two yellow flags. Somehow, Dorgon now wishes that Duo Yi could come immediately with his cavalry with white flags. With Duo Yi's support, he seems to be able to do something instead of being helpless here. .
Things were at a standstill. Mrs. Hong woke up twice, but each time she woke up for a very short time, and she was so weak that she could barely speak. The doctors worked hard for a long time and spent a lot of time. The power of the tiger finally stopped Hong Tai's nosebleeds, but that was all. Azig privately asked the doctor how serious Hong Tai's condition was. The doctor didn't know if he had been warned by someone or if he really didn't know. After asking for a long time, I still didn't get any results.
When Hong Tai woke up again, it was already dark. Seeing the Baylor ministers surrounding her, Hong Tai said two things with difficulty. One was to send someone to order Shang Zai to rush to Shenyang from Changshan. Hauge immediately rushed to the Khan tent. Another thing he did was to order his most trusted warrior, Obai, to keep the traditional jade seal he had snatched from the Mongols and his destiny Khan seal with him, without Hong Tai's order. , no one is allowed to get close to these two large seals, let alone use the Khan King Seal.
These two orders gave Abatai and the others a very bad feeling, as if Hong Tai was arranging funeral arrangements, and Hong Tai was very afraid of their brothers.
After saying these two things, Hong Tai fell into coma again. The atmosphere inside and outside the tent became tense, and a sad atmosphere began to appear among the Jin army.
The people with the two yellow flags have all moved, and the security around the sweat tent is obviously much tighter than before, and they are also vaguely wary of the people with the two white flags. Abatai has no idea about this. As a brother, he had no objection to giving the throne to Hauge. Anyway, it was impossible to pass the throne to him. However, Azig had complaints, but it was not against Mrs. Hong for passing the throne to Hauge, but against Mrs. Hong for passing the throne to Hauge. People with two yellow flags were wary of feeling angry. Dorgon, however, showed no emotion or anger, and seemed not to feel anything that happened. As before, except for sleeping, he spent the rest of his time outside Hong Tai's tent. It seemed that Very loyal.
While waiting for Hauge to arrive, Hong Tai's condition did not worsen or improve. He still fell into coma as before. The doctors had used up all the ginseng carried by the army, but the effect was not very good. These thousand-year-old ginseng did not Hong Tai's condition did not get better. But for people with two yellow flags, the fact that it did not get worse is the best news.
The reason why the Two Yellow Banners have been able to dominate the other Six Flags in recent years is not because they are led by Mrs. Hong personally. If Mrs. Hong is not around and the newly succeeded Great Khan is not a candidate supported by the Two Yellow Banners, the Two Yellow Banners will not be able to do so. Then there are today's privileges. In order to preserve their own privileges, the Two Yellow Banners must ensure that the inheritance of the Khanship must come from Hong Tai's branch. This is no secret, and people within the Two Yellow Banners do not deny the possibility of Hong Tai. no.
The house was leaking and it was raining continuously. The people who went to Fuling to check finally came back. They brought back news that Abatai, Azig and Dorgon did not want to hear - the Ming army dug up their ancestral graves.
The Ming army not only dug up the Fuling Mausoleum and robbed all the funerary objects in the mausoleum, but also dismembered the bodies of Nurhachi and his great fortune Jin Yehenala, and even left filthy yellow and white things in the underground palace in the mausoleum. In addition, they burned down all the buildings on the grounds of Fuling.
Digging into the ancestral graves was a great shame and humiliation for these two descendants. Azig and Abatai cried in each other's arms. Everything that had happened in the past few days made them feel as if the sky in Dajin was about to collapse.
Dorgon was also crying bitterly. As a son, how could he not feel desperate and angry that his father would be dismembered after his death?
No one dared to stop the Baylors from crying.
Finally, whether Mrs. Hong woke up on her own or whether her cries woke him up, Obai, who dared not tell the truth, told the sad news that Fuling was destroyed, and immediately passed out with dizziness.
Hong Tai never woke up from this coma. At least when Dorgon led his 1,000 Zhengbai Banner cavalry out of the camp, Hong Tai was still in a coma.
