In fact, the capital side really didn’t get any news from Nanjing for a while. It’s not that the messengers were incompetent, but because the letter route was cut off. Right now, the Donglu troops were retreating to the outside of the pass, and tens of thousands of Donglu troops were escorting them.

With the robbed nearly 400,000 people and hundreds of thousands of cattle, horses, donkeys and mules, the mighty team, which had been traveling for dozens of miles, withdrew north along the canal. The crops along the way became their pasture, and of course the villages along the way

The market was also repeatedly looted.

Although there was no pursuit by the Ming army, Dorgon still sent a large number of rangers to hunt and guard hundreds of miles around the army, and even farther away. Because of this, the messenger's letter path was easily cut off by the Qing army's rangers.

The north-south letter road even diverts through Shanxi to the capital, but there are tours around the capital.

In the dusk, there were several bonfires burning in the woods, surrounded by many Qing soldiers. Sitting in front of the bonfire, Duolong absentmindedly tore into the roasted beef.

Duolong is Niulu of Zhengbai Banner under Dorgon, and his surname is Tala. He is a bodyguard of Dorgon. Because of his strong martial arts skills, he is particularly brave in battle. He has been serving Dorgon for many years.

Ergon sent a cavalryman with an ox-armor down below. To put it bluntly, he wanted him to gain military merit.

However, his heart was very heavy - his wife and children were all in Shengjing, and now they were all snatched away by the damn Ming Gou, and he didn't know whether he would live or die!

Thinking of what might happen to his wife, who is as beautiful as a child, and her daughter, who is as beautiful as a flower, Duolong felt hatred in his heart.

Those who plunder a man’s wife and daughters will be plundered…

What the Han people say makes sense!

I am robbing someone else’s wife and daughter here, and my wife and daughter at home are being robbed. What a life! How could this be possible?

In addition to his anger, Duolong's heart was dripping with blood, and when he bit the beef, it was like biting those bright dogs.

"Damn Ming Gou, don't let grandpa catch you..."

At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves outside the forest. In response to this, the Qing army in front of the fire did not even move. Everyone knew that the Ming army did not dare to approach them at all. The Ming army who dared to attack them was not alive yet.

Come out... No, I haven't crossed the river yet.

"Your Excellency, we have discovered a group of Ming troops. They are dressed like they are following a big shot! They are heading towards the capital!"

Upon hearing that he found a group of Ming soldiers, and there was actually a big shot among them, Duolong threw the beef into the fire and said loudly.

"Let's go, kill all these bright dogs and avenge our family!"

revenge!

In their eyes, there is never any retribution, only revenge.

Driven by hatred, this group of Qing soldiers immediately jumped on their horses and howled like wild beasts to kill outside the forest...

On the official road dozens of miles away, escorted by a group of royal guards, Hong Chengchou was still thinking about that question while lying in a carriage.

"Who is the one?"

Who burned the sacred grove?

The prince of virtue, Zhu Ciying!

Why did he burn the sacred grove?

Although he knew that Prince De was the most suspicious, what Hong Chengchou was puzzled by was that he had no idea why he would do this!

Is it to get rid of yourself without spending a single soldier?

At the beginning, this was what Hong Chengchou thought! Even on the way to being "escorted" to Beijing, he expected to get an imperial edict from the emperor on the way, allowing him to go back and lead the troops - Crown Prince De conspired to cross the river!

At that time, Your Majesty will understand everything!

Everything is Prince Toku’s conspiracy!

At that time, the emperor will naturally send an envoy over to comfort him, and then lead him south to lead a large army to put down the rebellion.

But why didn't he rebel?

Even now, when he is almost arriving in the capital, Prince De has still not rebelled?

Could it be that I was wrong?

But if he hadn't burned it, who would have burned it?

Although he was guilty, the imperial edict only summoned Hong Chengchou to return to Beijing for questioning. So he could still lie comfortably in the carriage instead of sitting on the golf cart, and he could even carry a sword. Of course, he no longer

Then there’s that Shang Fang sword.

"Could it be that there are others?"

While he was thinking this, he suddenly heard the sound of arrows in the air through the hood of the car.

It's an arrow!

"Who wants to kill me?"

When Hong Chengchou subconsciously came up with this idea, he heard shouts coming from the hood of the car. In addition to the frightened shouts and screams of Jin Yiwei, there were also... Jurchen words?

It’s the Donglu Tatars!

Why are they here?

Shouldn't they be released from seclusion?

In confusion, Hong Chengchou remembered that Dorgon must not have been walking very fast with so many people who had been kidnapped. Even if he got out of the border first, those behind him would still have to walk for several days!

But why are they targeting me?

Could it be Dorgon?

Just when this idea came to Hong Chengchou's mind, the shouts of the Tatars outside became louder and louder, worrying about his own safety. He immediately drew his sword.

When he got out of the carriage with his sword in hand, he saw a Donglu cavalry shouting and killing him.

"My life is at an end..."

When this thought came to his mind, Hong Chengchou raised his sword and shouted.

"Your Majesty, I have gone!"

Almost as soon as his voice fell, he faintly heard someone shouting.

"Catch him alive, this is a big shot!"

Before he could figure it out, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, his vision went dark, and he fell. When he fell into a coma, he saw a Donglu riding over.

"Quickly, tie him up and put him on the horse. Now we have accomplished a great feat!"

Duolong shouted excitedly. Although he was very sad that his wife and daughter were robbed, when he stared at the man on the ground, there was only excitement in his eyes.

This is the supervisor of the Ming army!

When the prince met this person that day, even though he looked at him from a distance and couldn't even see his appearance clearly, he still vaguely felt that it was this person. Otherwise, how could there be so many "guards"!

"Quickly, get out of here quickly. If Minggou knows that their supervisor has been captured by us, he will definitely kill him at any cost..."

Duolong, who was so eager for success, even directly carried Hong Chengchou onto his horse and rode with him.

Hong Chengchou, who was in a semi-conscious state, sat behind Duolong like this. When he was shaking, his face kept bumping into the smelly armor on his body. He could see the protruding veins on the Donglu's neck, and of course, he could still vaguely see it.

Seeing the shaved and blue back of his head exposed outside the helmet, Hong Chengchou's head was broken, and blood condensed on his eyelids. His hands were tied tightly, and he felt that the man was tied so tight that his wrists hurt.

I was captured by Donglu!

The sky has no eyes!

How could such a thing happen to me, Hong Chengchou!

God, how little you treat me, Hong Chengchou!

"Kill me, kill me quickly..."

Hong Chengchou groaned, and although he didn't hear it clearly, Duolong, who knew a few words of Chinese, still understood the meaning behind his words.

"Haha, if I kill you, you are our wealth. With you, the prince will definitely reward you with lots of rewards. There will definitely be a lot of women and money!"

With such shouting in his mouth, Duolong felt so beautiful in his heart!

Capturing the Ming Army Superintendent, I, Duolong, have become rich now!

As for the wives and daughters who were snatched away by Akito - come on, let them serve Akito. When they get promoted and make money, it will be even better to have a wife to die!

Ouch, thinking about days like this makes me a little excited.

We are happy today.

"Ah! Governor Hong!"

When he learned that Hong Chengchou was actually captured by the rangers, Dorgon simply didn't dare to open his ears!

Hong Chengchou!

If he didn't supervise his division well by the Yellow River, why did he come to the capital?

"Oh, by the way, he seems to have been dismissed by Chongzhen."

It took a while for Dorgon to react, but he still couldn't believe that Hong Chengchou was robbed by his own people on the way.

Even when Hong Chengchou was tied up in his army, Dorgon's expression still seemed a little complicated.

oops!

It’s really Hong Chengchou!

Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, we have never captured such a large official of the Ming Dynasty.

Now he is actually captured by himself.

If this had been done last year, it would have been a great achievement.

Pity……

Hong Chengchou, who was put down from his horse, looked at Dorgon in front of him. Everything he didn't understand seemed to be understood at this moment. He was furious and immediately shouted loudly.
Chapter completed!
