Five hundred and fiftieth chapters make plans early
"The city is broken, the city is broken!"
Waves of cheers shook the sky, and the cheers of tens of thousands of people were not insignificant. Even Da Yu'er, who was taking care of Huang Taiji in the palace, heard it.
Da Yu'er, who was holding a bowl of medicine and preparing to feed it to Huang Taiji, changed his face slightly and said to the palace maid next to him: "Hurry out and see what's going on outside. Why is it so noisy?"
"yes!"
A palace maid, fifteen or sixteen years old, with delicate features, bent over and trotted out. After a while, she ran over panting. She ran to Dayu'er in a panic.
In front of her, her face was pale and she said out of breath: "Empress, it's not good, the Chinese army has broken through the outer city wall, and now Prince Rui, Prince Su, Da Beile and others are leading their troops to retreat inside.
City wall. Madam, what should we do? Please think of a way!"
Da Yu'er's figure swayed, and the bowl she held in her hand shook. Almost half of the full bowl of concoction was spilled. Then her face changed and she scolded sternly: "Shut up, why are you panicking? It's still dark."
Come down, you don't need to put on such a face, I have the final say in everything, so you can go down."
"twitter!"
The pale-faced little palace maid did not dare to speak anymore and quickly retreated.
The little palace maid who just left the house did not see Da Yu'er who stayed in the house. Her face suddenly turned pale after she left. Da Yu'er turned her head and glanced at Huang Taiji who was lying quietly on the bed and murmured.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you don't know anything when you are lying on the bed. You feel relaxed, but the people who survived like me and my concubines don't know what to do. Your Majesty, please wake up. This world in the Qing Dynasty
It’s about to collapse!”
As soon as Da Yuer's words came out, all the eunuchs and maids around him knelt down, and they all cried in relief.
"Take care, Your Majesty. Your Majesty has his own destiny. You will definitely recover, so don't worry. If you get sick again, our harem will have no backbone!"
After a while, Dayu'er's face slowly regained some color, and she turned to a eunuch beside her and said, "Hurry out and invite Prince Yu to me!"
"Mother, this is not good..."
The eunuch hesitated. Although Da Yu'er was the actual person in charge of the harem at this time, it was not good to frequently summon ministers outside the palace within a day. If Huang Taiji woke up in the future, someone would have such a crooked mouth.
, Da Yuer might end up having sex.
Seeing the eunuch's hesitant look, Da Yu'er's face froze and she raised her jade hands.
"Snapped......."
With a crisp sound, there was a red palm print on the eunuch's face. I heard Da Yuer's jade face saying with authority: "Bold, when will it be your turn as a slave to take charge of the affairs of this palace? What a fool."
Tent! Someone, drag this daring slave out and give him twenty heavy sticks!"
As he was talking, two strong eunuchs came over and dragged the slave out. Along the way, the eunuch kept shouting: "This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die. Please calm down!"
Seeing the eunuch being dragged out, Dayu'er, who was still angry, sat down and said to another eunuch: "You, go out quickly and invite Prince Yu here, and say that I have important matters to discuss with you."
!”
"twitter!"
Seeing the miserable look of his colleague, the eunuch didn't dare to say another word and hurriedly ran out.
Two quarters of an hour later, amid the sounds of hurried footsteps, Duduo walked in accompanied by the eunuch.
As soon as Duduo saw Dayu'er, he knelt down and saluted. "Brother, I have met my empress. May your empress be safe!"
"That's all, get up quickly. Now is not the time to pay attention to these false etiquette." Da Yuer hurriedly raised his jade hand and said anxiously: "Prince Yu, I heard that the Chinese army has broken through the first city wall.
is that so?"
"My brother dare not deceive the empress, that's why." Duduo's face was also very ugly at this time. He didn't expect that he had only been away for a long time, and the first city wall had collapsed. At this rate, the inner city wall would still be able to survive.
How long it will last is unknown.
Da Yuer's pretty eyes looked directly at Duduo, and asked seriously: "Prince Yu, now that things have happened, I don't want to say those polite words anymore. Did Prince Rui have any explanation for letting you come to station troops?
"
Duduo's face changed slightly, and he hesitated before saying: "Brother Fourteen said that if the war situation changes, he will escort you and Brother Fulin to break out of Shengjing City and go north to Hetuala.
As long as we get there, we can continue the Qing Dynasty."
People in later generations know that the original capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was Shengjing (Shenyang, also known as Fengtian), but in fact the earliest capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty before that was not Shengjing, but a place called Hetuala.
Hetuala means Henggang in Manchu, and Huang Taiji called it "Xingjing", which means the place where dragons rise.
It was the first place where the Qing Dynasty made its fortune, so the Manchu Qing Dynasty usually took more care of it. However, it was too far away from Shengjing, and the climate was colder than that of Shengjing, so the population was never very large, only about 100,000 in total.
But the city there is very strong and suitable as a retreat place.
At this moment, when Da Yu'er heard that Dorgon had arranged for him to retreat to Hetuala, he nodded slightly. It was indeed a good place to retreat.
Then Da Yuer walked to the bed, sat next to Huang Taiji and asked softly: "What about the emperor, how do you plan to arrange him?"
Duduo just glanced at Huang Taiji and said expressionlessly: "This time we are escaping for our lives, not going on an inspection tour. But the emperor is not good at what he does, and there is no way for my younger brother to take the emperor and escape with him.
"
Although Duduo only spoke softly, the hatred contained in it made Da Yu'er secretly frightened. As a woman who has lived with Huang Taiji for more than ten years, she certainly knew about the grudges between Huang Taiji and the Dorgon brothers, but
She didn't expect that Duduo's hatred for Huang Taiji was so deep. He made it clear that he wanted Huang Taiji to die.
"Isn't this... bad?" Da Yu'er frowned, seeming to be dissatisfied with this proposal.
"There's nothing wrong with it." Duduo waved his hand simply, "The emperor is seriously ill and can't stand the turmoil. I wonder who can guarantee the emperor's safety during the breakout."
Da Yu'er sighed secretly in his heart, and felt that Duduo's words were reasonable. Now Huang Taiji was just relying on some precious medicinal materials to breathe. If he left the palace and got into the car, he would probably die within a few steps.
Da Yu'er thought about it again and again, and in the end he could only helplessly shake his head and said: "That's it, it can only be like this."
I'm afraid that when Huang Taiji, the former lord of the Qing Dynasty, was sober, he never imagined that his fate would be decided in just a few words between Duduo and Da Yu'er.
After finishing this conversation, Dayu'er and Duoduo fell silent. No one spoke, and the room was silent for a while.
After a long time, Dayu'er continued to ask: "Prince Yu, do you think Prince Rui and the others can withstand Dahua's attacking horse?"
Duduo smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, you are asking me to question you. I don't know about this. I can only place my hope in the blessing of the spirits of the ancestors of the Aisin Gioro family in heaven."
Da Yu'er waved her hand tiredly: "Okay, Prince Yu, please go out first. Make preparations first. If something goes wrong, escort our mother and son out of the palace immediately."
"Hey, my brother, go and get ready immediately."
Duduo bowed and bowed, then immediately withdrew.
While the two were discussing their retreat, Zu Dashou also seized the time to launch an attack on the second city wall.
Hesitating that the distance between the first city wall and the second city wall was hundreds of steps, and the artillery outside could not be seen inside, so naturally there was no way to support the siege. I wanted to pull the artillery in but found that the distance inside was too narrow.
There was no way to deploy it, so Zu Dashou could only rely on the support of riflemen to attack the city.
But this time the difficulty of attacking the city was much higher than when we attacked the first city wall just now.
After retreating to the inner city wall, the Qing army's defense suddenly became crazy. They no longer retreated, but stood on the city wall, set up heavy shields, and under the cover of the shields, they desperately threw stones, rolling logs and
Shoot an arrow.
Zu Dashou originally wanted to go all out and command his troops to capture Shengjing City in one fell swoop while the morale was high. As long as the city wall was captured again, there would be nothing in Shengjing that could stop the advance of the Great Chinese Army.
"Brothers, work harder. Master Zu said that as long as Shengjing City is captured, each of the living brothers will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver, and each of the dead brothers will be rewarded with forty taels of silver. Come on!"
Under the city wall, densely packed soldiers stood under the ladder, waiting to climb up. Many of them held a shield in one hand and a long knife in their mouth, waiting to climb up and fight with the Qing soldiers.
Behind these siege soldiers was a row of riflemen, with the muzzles of Mini rifles pointing blackly forward. Once any Qing soldier showed his body on the city wall, several hot lead bullets were waiting for him.
"kill!"
"As soon as a Dahua soldier climbed up to the city wall, he was stabbed down by several spears waiting on top."
It seems that the Qing army also learned its lesson and did not dare to give Dahua soldiers the opportunity to throw thunder.
Spear after spear, arrowhead after arrow, and rolling stones or logs were stabbed or rolled down from the city wall, injuring and killing the soldiers who were preparing to attack the city.
Suddenly, as soon as the siege on the city began, Zu Dashou saw that a large area of his family was swept away by the Qing army who were not afraid of death.
"Quick, rifleman cover, cover quickly!"
Zu Dashou waved his arms next to the first city gate and ordered the soldiers to speed up the attack. Zu Dashou deeply felt that as long as he got the first victory over Shengjing, his chances of promotion in the future would be easy.
There are many, and the emperor will definitely remember his name...
