In the city of Shengjing, there is Dorgon's mansion. Duduo came here as soon as he entered the city and met his brother.
"You are back with a large army so soon. Could it be that the Ming army launched a large-scale attack?" Dorgon asked Dodo, a little surprised, with a tired look on his face.
He and Huang Taiji had the same prediction, thinking that the Ming army would definitely have a major attack this year, but it might not happen until spring comes.
Duduo nodded and explained the situation to Dorgon: "Yes, the Ming army invaded again on a large scale under the command of the Zhongxing Marquis. The attack was very fierce. The Anshan Posthouse fell in less than half a day, and the Ming army's Hongyi cannon
There are between thirty and forty gates, and the troop strength is estimated to be between fifty and sixty thousand."
When Dorgon heard this, he frowned. He was not fully prepared yet. The Ming army attacked so quickly and with such force.
Seeing that Dorgon didn't speak, Duduo asked: "Brother, take action, you can take this opportunity to avenge E Niang!"
Now that Duduodu led the army and ran back privately, it was like officially breaking up with Huang Taiji. Dorgon nodded and agreed: "Okay, we have been waiting for this day to avenge E Niang."
According to legend, he was the heir to the throne of Khan, but a group of people led by Huang Taiji united to take away the throne of Khan, and even forced his mother-in-law to die alive for her father Khan.
Thinking of E Niang's desperate and helpless eyes before she died, I remembered that E Niang was still thinking of me and told me that I must bear it.
He also recalled that at the time of separation, he took the young Duduo with him, and tried not to care, and watched E Niang being buried alive in front of his eyes. Dorgon swore that day that he would not avenge this revenge and that he would not be a human being.
In the original history, Huang Taiji died suddenly, and it was rumored that he died at the hands of Dorgon. This is the reason for speculation.
As soon as Huang Taiji died and Dorgon took power, he immediately made his biological mother the queen, with the posthumous title of "Queen of Xiaolie, Gongmin, Xianzheren and Zantianli Shengwu". It can also be seen from this that Dorgon treated him
The feelings of the biological mother.
Dorgon and Duduo sat down and were waiting to discuss how to act. Sony sent someone to deliver the message, saying that the Denglai Ming army was attacking fiercely, so Dorgon was asked to put aside his worries and go to Chongzheng Hall to hold a military meeting.
When Dorgon heard this, he realized that the Ming army was larger than expected. Several groups attacked together. It seemed that the Ming army was very ambitious this time.
He agreed calmly, and then sent the messenger back.
As soon as Duduo waited for the visitor to leave, he turned out from behind the screen and objected loudly: "Brother, you can't go, be careful. It's dangerous."
"I know that there is no room for change between us and him, and he is also on guard against me." Dorgon answered Duoduo's words, and at the same time told him about Huang Taiji's mobilization of garrison troops.
"Ajige, as our eldest brother, did not think about the revenge of Eniang and only wanted to embrace his thigh. Now that he is fine, people would rather trust the Mongols than him. Retribution!" Upon hearing this, Duduo immediately vented his resentment.
, and a bit like schadenfreude.
Dorgon also nodded his head, but what he said was directed at Huang Taiji: "His stupid move is good. In this way, our strength will be even greater."
When Duduo heard this, he asked a little surprised: "Isn't that guy still wholeheartedly working with the enemy? How can he increase our strength?"
A smile appeared on Dorgon's face for the first time, and he said to Duoduo: "That brainless man is now suspected, and he must have a complaint. If we send someone to talk to him again, we will offer Huang Taiji's head to the Ming Dynasty.
, in exchange for the Ming Kingdom’s withdrawal, we will promote him as the leader and let him take the position of the Lord of Gold. In this way, 10% of the time, he will be moved."
Dorgon already had this strategy in mind after getting the reply from the Ming Dynasty that Huang Taiji wanted to negotiate peace.
If the Ming Dynasty attacks again in the future, and Huang Taiji is unable to deal with it, when Dai Jin's life is at stake, he will use Huang Taiji's head to calm the anger of the Ming Dynasty and put all the blame on Huang Taiji. Who makes him Dai Jin?
of sweating profusely.
Then he faced the Ming Dynasty with a lower attitude. It didn't matter if he removed the country's title. It didn't matter if he couldn't be crowned king. As long as he and Duduo could be exempted from guilt, Dajin's troops and horses would be under his control.
Based on his impression of the Ming Dynasty in the past, the face-saving Han people had Huang Taiji's head, and if they made some concessions in other aspects, their face would be enough, and they would definitely agree.
Of course, with this move, Daijin's strength will be severely damaged. It is still unknown when he will be able to compete with Mingguo again.
Therefore, Dorgon did not take this step until the last moment. Unfortunately, he could not see Huang Taiji doing anything to turn things around. In his opinion, the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the country was just a sign of incompetence and a waste of his own strength.
.
However, he was also happy that Huang Taiji implemented this strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the country. Because in the past two years, Huang Taiji's previous prestige had been continuously declining due to consecutive defeats. Now that he has used this self-destructive trick, it has caused even more confusion.
The clan members were dissatisfied with Huang Taiji.
It was also based on this that Dorgon began to add fuel to the flames, inciting dissatisfaction among the Jurchen banners, and exposed his ambition to plot Huang Taiji.
In fact, Dorgon misunderstood Daming's reply. Because of the existence of Zhong Jinwei, the meaning of the reply was not that Huang Taiji was responsible, but that all slave chiefs were responsible for the crimes they committed. Of course, this also included many
Ergon and Duduo.
What's more, Dorgon's city is too deep, and he is not a person willing to be mediocre; and Duoduo's reputation for hating the Han people has long been notorious. How could Zhong Jinwei let the two of them go just because of the head of Huang Taiji?
Now the situation between the Ming Dynasty and Jianlu has become one-sided. Even if Dorgon does not offer Huang Taiji's head, it will only be a matter of time before the Ming Dynasty takes Huang Taiji's head.
But Dorgon was still feeling proud and began to discuss with Dodo the specific implementation of this two-birds-with-one-stone plan.
Not long after, Dorgon took the risk and went to see Azig in person.
Azig was indeed angry at Huang Taiji's suspicion of him, and was drinking to vent his anger. When he heard Dorgon asking for an audience, he was already drunk and was beating and scolding his maid.
Dorgon easily aroused Azig's resentment towards Huang Taiji and pushed it to a new level. Then he began to praise Azig for how wise he was. They were both brothers from the same father and mother.
, he will definitely support Azig as the leader afterwards.
Under the stimulation of alcohol, Azige could not withstand Dorgon's temptation, and he even agreed.
He was originally a person who was unwilling to give in. In the original history, after Dorgon's death, he wanted to imitate Dorgon and become the regent, but he was demoted and imprisoned to death.
As a result, Dorgon's side became stronger. He understood that his plan must be resolved before the Ming army arrived, which was in his best interest.
