Chapter 42: The Manchu Qing in Despair
The two white flags were extremely annoyed when they saw Dorgon refuse. How could this be done? Why can the commander still tolerate it? Even if he dies, it is better than to suffer such shame!
They were thinking about a battle carelessly, but how could they understand Dorgon’s painstaking efforts! Dorgon is now making his last efforts for the survival of the Qing Dynasty!
He knew that he would be ridiculed and looked down upon, but he was very angry in his eyes when he saw this painting! But he had to endure it!
He knew that he treated Zhang Biwu like this before. Now the feng shui has changed. When it comes to the cycle of reincarnation, Zhang Biwu has returned to his teeth! Retribution!
At this moment, Da Yuer and Shunzhi summoned him into the palace. Dorgon immediately entered the palace without saying a word.
After the salute was finished, Da Yuer asked Dorgon: "The emperor's father, the regent, I wonder if you have a clever plan to retreat to the enemy?"
Dorgon sighed and finally said, "The Queen Mother and the Emperor, I really have no plan to retreat to the enemy! Now we are really at a loss! Alas!"
After Shunzhi heard this, he sighed. Even Dorgon, who could do anything, said that there was nothing he could do, and who else could help?
Shunzhi smiled and said, "If our Qing Dynasty was really destroyed by Zhang Biwu, I would be prepared to die for the country! Isn't it just a death? Even Chongzhen's children can do it, let alone I am the emperor of the Qing Dynasty!"
In Shunzhi's heart, he was much better than Chongzhen, so he was not afraid of death.
However, Da Yuer looked at Dorgon with affection and said, "The Emperor's Father, Regent, at that time, I will fulfill your wish! After the wish is over, we will die together!"
"I wish?" Dorgon was stunned. He didn't want to hear that he was going to die together. He also wanted everyone to survive and the Qing Dynasty could be resurrected! But now his mind was blank, and he really couldn't even come up with a way!
Dorgon looked sad. Shunzhi and Da Yuer saw it, and they didn't blame Dorgon. After all, it was very good that Dorgon could do this.
It is unexpected that the Qing Dynasty can survive until now. Everyone wants to make the final struggle and want the Qing Dynasty to survive again.
But is it still possible? This question is huge. I heard that even Wu Keshan was secretly in contact with Zhang Biwu. He was afraid that once the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, he would be punished.
Wu Keshan is old. He is not afraid of death, but is afraid that the Korqin tribe that was passed down will collapse and exterminate the clan, so he has to think about his tribe.
Even if Wu Keshan died in the end, as long as their tribe survived and could continue, he felt that no matter how hard he died, it would be unrelated.
Although Zhang Biwu led his younger brother Manzhu to Shenyang City and then beheaded, he was said to have deep hatred. However, compared with the interests of the entire family, this is nothing.
Are you letting the entire family die for one person? Or do you let the whole family survive by abandoning the hatred of your brother? Obviously, Wu Keshan would choose this!
Even if he does this, he will be sorry for his sister and nephew. However, at the critical moment of life and death of the entire family, he doesn't care about anything.
Da Yuer knew Wu Keshan's actions. If it were the case in the past, she would definitely punish him severely, but now there are too many people who have an affair with Zhang Biwu.
Not only are Wu Keshan, who is deeply trusted, but also many of them are in-laws in Aisin Jueluo who are in contact with Zhang Biwu, all of whom they want to save their lives after the Qing Dynasty is destroyed.
Dorgon relied most heavily on Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou, but the attitudes of these two have also changed.
Fan Wencheng also felt that the situation was so critical that it was difficult to save him again. He was constantly racking his juices and thinking about ways, but what could it be?
As for Hong Chengchou, he was prepared to die, because Hong Chengchou knew that Zhang Biwu would never spare him. As the number one traitor, death is inevitable. Instead of falling into Zhang Biwu's hands, it is better to end his life by himself, which is the right way. Hong Chengchou had this idea. Naturally, he could not contribute any strategy.
When neither Fan Wencheng nor Hong Chengchou came up with a good way, especially Hong Chengchou showed a look of despair, it was a heavy blow to Dorgon.
Dorgon felt that it was very difficult to save the crisis. It was very difficult! He could only think of another point, how to prepare for the next step, such as what to prepare for Xuanye. Shunzhi also thought so. He thought that this son was much better than him, and if he became the lord of the Qing Dynasty, he would be better than him.
As for Aobai, he was an absolutely loyal minister on the surface, but in fact he was just a powerful minister who only thought about himself. Now Aobai was also thinking about how to protect himself from death. It was Obai's preparation that made Obai escape from the city after the city of Shenyang was broken, and it really allowed his dog to live longer. This is a story later.
Based on the above reasons, in Shenyang City, what shrouded the Qing Dynasty was the haze of destruction, and no one could dispel a haze.
Dorgon lost the art of turning the world back because of this. Although he pretended to be calm on the surface, he seemed to be confident enough to retreat to the enemy, but in fact he was more anxious than anyone else. This way, his illness became worse and he couldn't even fight.
In fact, from today when Dorgon went to see Shunzhi and Da Yuer, he could tell from their tone that they also thought the situation was hopeless and irreversible, and they were even prepared to die for their country!
Dorgon could only sigh again and again, but he had no choice. Then, there was another wave of shock sound, and Zhang Jun started another wave of offensive.
Zhang Biwu is now very proud because he received one secret contact after another and wanted to surrender. He was still very happy to see these letters.
Especially those with Wu Keshan, the weight is too heavy! Wu Keshan is the patriarch of Korqin and the brother of the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty! Even if he betrayed the Qing Dynasty, who can't betray it?
Although some people surrendered because these people were conducted under the instruction of Dorgon, it would be best if they could deceive Zhang Jun and make the Qing army cheaper.
If you cannot get a advantage, Zhang Biwu does not believe in the surrendered person, so Zhang Biwu cannot use the surrendered person for his use. Maybe he will even kill the surrendered person, which can be considered anger for the Qing Dynasty!
If Zhang Biwu stubbornly wanted to believe in the surrendered person, Dorgon could of course continue to use this trick! Zhang Biwu believed, his generals would not believe it. They would have many obstacles, and sooner or later, something would happen.
No matter how tenacious Zhang Biwu is, he has to take into account the feelings of the general who has followed him for many years.
Dorgon was quite at ease. He did everything he could to make the Qing Dynasty survive.
Even if Korqin survived, it is hard to say that he could save the Qing Dynasty. But what is certain is that the military strength of the Korqin tribe can stay behind to defend the city, so the Qing Dynasty can last longer and longer.
At this moment, Da Yuer told Dorgon a plan, and Dorgon couldn't help but nodded. He was very happy! He was so happy. At the same time, he also looked at Da Yuer. Seeing Da Yuer's firm face, he knew that this plan had to be implemented.
Zhang Biwu was silent at this time. He knew that all the old Qing ministers who were in contact with him could not believe them all, but they could not stop their thoughts. He wanted to use all the power that could be used by him!
Zhang Biwu knew this better than anyone else. He didn't trust it and had to use it. Although he was entangled, he was helpless.
At this moment, someone came in and reported to Zhang Biwu. Zhang Biwu opened it and found that it was Wu Keshan's letter. Wu Keshan said that he wanted to take advantage of Dorgon's illness and relapsed. Shunzhi was going to worship his ancestors. If he launched a sudden attack, he would definitely succeed!
Moreover, Wu Keshan also wanted to lead his army out of the city. He wanted to surrender to Zhang Biwu, not asking for anything, but only asking them to return to the Korqin grassland, which was enough. From then on, he would not dare to compete with Zhang Biwu again.
Zhang Biwu read Wu Keshan's letters over and over again, and he was thinking about it.
These letters were also distributed to others, so that they could also take a good look at the contents of the letters! If Zhang Biwu expected, most of the generals would not believe them.
They thought that as Shunzhi's uncle, even if the money fell and scattered, it was possible that he would betray Shunzhi, but was he a trick? Is he really going to Zhang Biwu's army? Could it be that during the Battle of Red Cliff, Cai Zhong and Cai He's spy plan sent by Cao Cao?
Even if Wu Keshan really wanted to surrender, Dorgon was so smart that he could not see it! If they were to use the trick, they would lose a lot of money.
Zhang Biwu did not speak out because he thought what they were talking about, but Zhang Biwu knew that there was a possibility! He was already planning in his mind. He secretly summoned Xiong Jianhao, Li Yan, Lu Xiangsheng and others to discuss with them and how to deal with Wu Keshan's surrender.
After everyone's discussion, Zhang Biwu came up with a good method, and he wanted to use this method to dismantle the other party again. If you, Dorgon, want to use this strategy, you will be useless!
Zhang Biwu said to the envoy: "Okay! If you want me to believe that Wu Keshan really wants to surrender to me, then let him bring his son Biertahar and grandson here for me! Otherwise..."
Zhang Biwu was sneering. He knew that Biertahar had married the princess of the Qing Dynasty. If they could be hostage here, no matter how attached they were to the Qing Dynasty, they would have to surrender.
Besides, Zhang Biwu heard that Biertahar hated the princesses of the Qing Dynasty very much. If it weren’t for the noble status of the princess, he wouldn’t want the princess to be his concubine again!
