After Dorgon's death, Hauge and Duo Yi, who led the army south, had a disagreement over whether to continue to pursue the Ming army. Duo Yi advocated continuing to pursue the Ming army south to avenge his brother, but Hao Ge said he was unwilling to go south anymore and wanted to return to Shenyang.
News from Shenyang Daying was passed on every day, and the news was not optimistic. According to the doctors, Tianming Khan was seriously ill and could not be saved by medicine or stone, and he might die at any time.
Hauge led the army south because he was afraid that Dorgon would really defeat the Ming army and seize the throne with his military exploits, so he had to go south and use the same illustrious military exploits to tell the people that his ability was no worse than that of his uncles, nor that of his seriously ill father. Only in this way, those with evil intentions will not dare to come out and make irresponsible remarks, accusing themselves of not being qualified to succeed.
No one expected that Dorgon died in the battle at Taizihe. When the battle report came, Hauge's first reaction was that it was impossible, but he soon confirmed that his fourteenth uncle who wanted to seize the throne was really dead—— The Ming army did not take away Dorgon's head, but piled a snowman by the Taizi River. In addition to Dorgon's head on top, the snowman also had many bones placed on it, one by one. Put together, it seems as if the snowman really has bones inside his body.
None of the thousand Zhengbai Banner soldiers who followed Dorgon southward escaped, and their headless corpses were laid out for two miles along the Taizi River. All the corpses were so frozen that they could not be cut with a knife. Many of the corpses were obviously It was mutilated, as if something had been cut off after death.
Beldorgon, a warrior who was capable of fighting, died. The people in the two yellow flags were shocked and relieved at the same time. The same was true for Hauge. No matter how the fourteenth uncle died and how miserable he was after his death, he One thing must be considered - whether to go south again.
If they continue to go south, even Dorgon will be defeated by the Ming army. Hauge has no confidence in defeating the Ming army. After all, he only brings two thousand troops. But if he withdraws his troops, he will not be able to explain to the people. .
Hauge didn't want to be said that he was afraid of the Ming army, and he didn't want to bear the bad reputation of being unwilling to avenge his uncle. Although this uncle wanted to rob his nephew's things, he was still an uncle after all.
The attitude of Duoyi, his fifteenth uncle who is younger than himself, is clear. Facing this leader of the white flag, Hauge has to consider the other party's opinions. If Duoyi refuses to support his succession because he refuses to go south, then It's also a thorny problem.
In the end, the ministers of the Two Yellow Banners who followed the army south gave Haug the best reason to withdraw. They believed that once Dorgon died, Haug would have no reason to lead his army south again. All he had to do now was to stay by his side and wait. Just let Amma die and then take over the throne.
If the eldest son of Destiny Khan was not around when he died, then no one can guarantee that the new Great Khan will be Hauge, and no one can guarantee that Abatai and Azig who stayed in the camp will not pretend to make someone else the Khan.
Compared with the Khan position, it is obviously much easier to continue to pursue the Ming army to avenge Dorgon.
Amidst Duoyi's curses, Haug led the cavalry with two yellow flags and retreated towards the way they came.
Once the soldiers and horses of the two yellow flags left, no matter how much Duo Yi wanted to avenge Dorgon, he had to face the reality that he only had a thousand cavalry.
In the end, Duo Yi had no choice but to return to Shenyang with Dorgon's remains.
........
After Hauge rushed back to the Shenyang camp, Namutai, the minister of the Zhenghuang Banner, Turge, the minister of the Xianghuang Banner, Xifu, the great scholar of Zhangwenguan, Jia La'erzhen Wugena, Darhan, Wakda, Ashan and other people who were loyal to Hongtai All the generals and colonels of the Two Yellow Banners rushed back. Seeing Hauge, the ministers of the Two Yellow Banners hurriedly gathered around, and Han officials such as Fan Wencheng and Bao Chengxian were also among the crowd.
Seeing the strange expressions on everyone's faces, Hauge knew something was wrong, so he didn't dare to waste a moment and went straight to Hong Tai's camp.
In the tent, Mrs. Hong's three favorite women, Zhezhe, Bumubutai, and Toya, were gathered around the bed.
Ji'erharang, Abatai, Azig, Yuetuo, Saharian and other big and small Beile were also in the tent. Seeing Hauge entering the tent, everyone's expressions were different. Ji'erharang was still the same as before.
There was no expression on his face; the brothers Yue Tuo and Saharian seemed to be harboring evil intentions, their eyes drifting a little; the eyes of Abatai and Azig were obviously hostile.
Azig wanted to ask how the war went south and why Dorgon and Duoyi didn't come back, but he didn't ask when he saw Hauge going to Mrs. Hong's bed.
On the bed, Tai Hong's face was pale, his breath was weak, and he was still unconscious. His condition began to relapse in the past two days, and the nosebleeds that had been stopped began to flow again. Just now, the doctors finally stopped the bleeding with red medicine.
Tianming Khan's breathing gradually became stronger, and the doctors finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Hauge looked at Father Khan sadly for a while, dragged a doctor to him and asked: "How is it? Is Father Khan's illness getting better?"
The doctor said: "King Khan is seriously injured. I have tried all my methods. I can only temporarily stabilize the condition, but there is no way to completely cure him."
When he heard that there was no cure, Hauge became anxious and asked the doctor: "You can't think of any ideas!"
The doctor was a little afraid of Hauge and said cautiously: "It's not that I don't want to cure Dahan, but Dahan's disease was caused by Mongolians. It wouldn't be difficult to cure him if he treated him for a period of time, but Dahan traveled thousands of miles and suffered again."
The cold air and the stimulation will cause the disease to penetrate into the bones and become incurable."
Hauge knew that the doctor was telling the truth, so he let go of his hand helplessly and sighed. The doctor, Rumeng Dahe, hurriedly exited the tent together with the other two doctors.
After the doctors left, Hauge said hello to Zhezhe and the others. The women were crying hard, their eyes were red. Hauge didn't know how to comfort them, and stood there speechless for a while.
Azig stood up and asked Haug: "Where's Dorgon, why are you the only one who came back?" The voice was a bit unkind. Jierhalang frowned slightly after hearing this, while Yuetuo and Saharian were delighted.
Haug snorted slightly at Azig's unfriendliness and said, "Uncle Fourteen died in the battle."
"Dorgon is dead?!"
The people in the tent were stunned by the news. Jierhalang even stepped forward to grab Hauge's shoulders and asked anxiously: "How did Dorgon die?"
Hauge did not dare to hide it, and immediately told the story of Dorgon's death at the Prince's River. Everyone gasped after hearing this. In addition to being shocked by Dorgon's death, they were also shocked that the Ming army could fight so hard.
I was surprised. Since Lao Khan raised his army, there has never been a death of Heshuobele in battle, let alone the annihilation of the entire army. I didn't realize that it happened together now.
Shenyang was burned down by the Ming army, and Fuling was dug up by the Ming army. Tens of thousands of women and children of the Eight Banners were killed by the Ming army. Dorgon died in the battle, and Mrs. Hong was seriously ill and was about to die. Did God want to abandon us?
