Chapter 14: Sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor
Dorgon was proposing to Da Yuer. Da Yuer knew that Dorgon loved her, but Dorgon forced Haoge's concubine to be his wife, so her heart could not turn around.
When Dorgon saw Da Yuer's appearance, he knew that she was jealous!
Dorgon smiled without realizing it. He came forward and pinched Da Yuer's nose and said, "Okay! Little fool, don't be jealous! Tell you the truth! The reason why I marry Dulemaqiang is because she looks a bit like you! Every time I ask you to get married, you always refuse me on an excuse! My Dorgon only has two great wishes in his life, one is to marry Da Yuer; the other is to enter the Central Plains for my Qing Dynasty and establish a great cause!"
When Da Yuer heard this, she understood that the reason why Dorgon forced Dulema was because this cousin looked like her!
Da Yuer finally sighed and said, "Dorgon, if you can help me get through the difficulties this time and put Zhang Biwu down, I can marry you! I will say whatever I want!"
Dorgon was so happy that he pressed Da Yuer's shoulder tightly and asked, "Really?" Da Yuer nodded firmly and said that she would do what she said this time.
It is precisely because of this promise from the beauty that Dorgon will burst out with extraordinary power, and Zhang Biwu will face great challenges!
Da Yuer helped Dorgon dress up very gently, then helped him put on the battle armor, and also attended Dorgon's oath ceremony.
The oath ceremony began and ended smoothly. Jirgalang secretly came to Daishan and said, "The emperor's father, the regent, is going to send troops in person! Look at the emperor's appearance..."
Dai Shan looked at Shunzhi with an unhappy look on his face. Perhaps someone secretly told Shunzhi that Dorgon not only wanted to save the crisis of the Qing Dynasty, but also wanted to defeat Zhang Biwu and Li Zicheng, so as to marry the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager agreed to Dorgon. As long as he did, he would marry him.
Dai Shan did not speak, and he and Jirgalang did not speak either, just to observe the changes in the times. However, in their hearts, they also believed that Da Yuer's promise to Dorgon would make Dorgon extremely powerful and burst out with a hundred times of power. It has to be said that it was a good thing.
But will Dorgon really marry Da Yu'er in the future? This is worth discussing!
It was just as Dai Shan and others said, Shunzhi was unhappy and cursed in his heart: "Damn Dorgon! You are so hateful! You die for me! Death! Mother, where are you trying to put my face? You actually marry Dorgon! I would rather not be so shameless! I will not be so embarrassed! If I grow up, I must kill Dorgon! Kill!"
"The day of my rule is getting closer and closer! No one can stop me by then! The first thing I do when I rule is to get rid of you Dorgon! To comfort the emperor Ama's spirit in heaven!" Shunzhi's determination was very firm.
Wu Liangfu was wiping his sweat all the time, because he was afraid that Shunzhi would suffer misfortune if he showed his feelings.
When Dorgon was heading for the war, he was suddenly shocked. He seemed to have thought that if he had accidentally attacked Xiangyang and was discovered, it would be difficult for Xiangyang to break through and could not kill Li Zicheng. Then all his plans would be in vain.
The key is to quickly break through Datong and kill Jiang Guan, but according to the current situation, attacking Xiangyang and killing Li Zicheng is even more critical! This must be done correctly.
When Dorgon thought of this, he had to prepare a surprise soldier in advance. He was already prepared. Dorgon's first preparation would bring great harm to Zhang Biwu. This is a later story.
Dorgon led the main force of the Qing Dynasty to send troops! This news quickly reached Zhang Biwu's ears. At this time, Zhang Biwu met with Li Guo, the commander of the Dashun Army, in Hancheng.
Zhang Biwu told Li Guo that he would lead his army to worship Huangdi to the tomb of Huangdi, and then send troops to help Li Guo seize Chang'an.
When Li Guo heard this, he understood what Zhang Biwu meant. At the same time, he sent his sons Li Laiheng and Song Xiance to represent Emperor Dashun to worship the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, and at the same time said that this was the emperor's imperial edict, and recapturing Chang'an was far more important than sacrificing the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum.
When Jiang Yan raised his army, Li Jiantai, the former Grand Secretary of the Dongge, also raised his troops with Sancai in response, and shouted to restore the Ming Dynasty. Li Jiantai looked like a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.
Now that he heard that Zhang Biwu and Li Zicheng's army arrived, he was still hesitating whether to come to join Zhang Biwu, let alone that he was a Grand Secretary of the Dongge and the Pavilion Department! However, Zhang Biwu was named Wuwei Marquis by Emperor Yongli, and his rank was higher than him.
He decided to take a look for it for the time being, and sent someone to contact Zhang Biwu, expressing his willingness to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. In his letter, he said with concern that he was afraid that Zhang Biwu would unite with Dashun.
Zhang Biwu had to reply to Li Jiantai, saying that he placed the great cause of anti-Qing first, first united with Li Zicheng, and then tried to restore the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Biwu also sneered in his heart. Because this Li Jiantai was a mogul, Chongzhen asked him to go out to supervise the army when the Dashun army advanced eastward in order to stop the Dashun army from advancing, and to replace me.
Chongzhen personally sent him out of the city and gave him any killing position that did not obey orders. Yang Sichang did not have such a general and could kill him first and then report him first, and his privileges were not great enough for him.
What a pity! Li Jiantai's troops dispersed when he advanced westward, and the city gates were closed along the way and did not like this cabinet master. In the end, the entire army fled, and only a few hundred personal soldiers left to escape to Baoding. Liu Fangliang marched into Baoding, and he surrendered to Liu Fangliang in Baoding, and he also received favor from Li Zicheng!
Now he actually said that he could not unite with the thief? It's ridiculous! It's just that the great cause of anti-Qing is the priority!
Zhang Biwu did not want all the forces that raised an army to fight against the Qing Dynasty to do their own affairs. He had to put them together and tie them together, so that they could cause huge waves.
When Zhang Biwu and Dashun jointly sent troops, he received a letter from the envoy sent by Sun Kewang, the remnants of the Daxi Army, and Li Dingguo. They also held back the retreat of the Sichuan Qing army in Sichuan, thus making a name for Zhang Biwu and others.
Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo were very grateful to Zhang Biwu for sending the head of Yabulan who killed Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Biwu made this move too right! He exchanged Yabulan's head for the gratitude of Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo. In particular, Li Dingguo had a good impression of Zhang Biwu and said that as long as he had the chance in the future, he hoped to fight side by side with Zhang Biwu.
Doesn’t this mean that it is not difficult to get Li Dingguo to return to his post? Things are hopeful!
Zhang Biwu was in a great mood. He led all the soldiers of the army to worship Huangdi at the Huangdi Mausoleum. He, Li Laiheng and Song Xiance were in front, and all the generals were behind.
"Bow! Bow again! Bow three!" The shouts came out, and Zhang Biwu finished worshiping the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor.
He turned to the soldiers and said loudly: "Soldiers, we must drive the Tartars out! Exorcists and restore our China!"
"Expel the Tartars and restore my China!" Zhang Biwu shouted out, and the soldiers also shouted out together.
After the ceremony, Zhang Biwu and Song Xiance walked alone. Song Xiance said to Zhang Biwu: "General Guoxiong, if the emperor has anything to do, I will not let you down, please take responsibility!"
Zhang Biwu laughed and said, "There is no need to say much about the military advisor! I know! As long as the emperor can put the great cause of anti-Qing and I, Zhang Biwu, can tolerate it no matter how much! And I can give in!"
Song Xiance sighed and said, "Ah! Power is a devil. When a person ascended the throne, he became different from before! It became unrecognizable to people! I hope General Guoxiong would not be such a person!"
Zhang Biwu knew from Song Xiance's words that Song Xiance was dissatisfied with Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng's actions also made Song Xiance feel heartbroken. It was just that because the status of their monarch and ministers had been decided, Song Xiance could not openly betray Li Zicheng.
When Song Xiance saw Zhang Biwu looking at him, he could of course see that Zhang Biwu had seen his inner thoughts. He just responded and smiled to Zhang Biwu.
Li Laiheng and a marquis came quickly. Li Laiheng said: "Military advisor, it's not good! My father, Yuan Zongdi, and Liu Fangliang's army were blocked by the Qing army in Tongzhou and Yaozhou areas. They could not advance towards Chang'an! Now I am sending an urgent report, hoping that the Ming Hou would quickly join forces to defeat the Qing army and restore Chang'an!"
Li Laiheng called Minghou. Although Zhang Biwu was unhappy, he did not show it on the surface.
At this time, one of them came to Zhang Biwu and whispered to Zhang Biwu. Zhang Biwu was so surprised and said, "Brother Lin Quan, how could he easily leave the land of eastern Henan? What's going on?"
Song Xiance couldn't think of it, and said, "Didn't Brother Lin Quan explain it directly to you?" Zhang Biwu shook his head and replied, "No! I really don't know what Brother Lin Quan's intention is to do this!"
Song Xiance was afraid that Zhang Biwu would be suspicious of Li Yan, so he said, "I think Lin Quan must have his purpose in doing this, he just didn't have time to explain it to you for the time being!" "Ha!" Zhang Biwu smiled and said, "Okay! I think so too!"
So Zhang Biwu explained his thoughts to Song Xiance and Li Laiheng.
To attack Yaozhou and Tongzhou, this is indeed necessary, so I sent an army to attack from Sanshui and Chunhua counties on the left side of Yaozhou to see if it can succeed.
Anyway, just try it. It will be better if you succeed. Even if you fail, the loss will not be large. This attack did not succeed.
Zhang Biwu had no choice but to pull the army to join Li Guo, and they worked together to attack Tongzhou in order to break a hole into Xi'an.
Chapter completed!
