Chapter 44 Dorgon's Choice

"The God of Fire is awesome, I'll wait to retreat to the Qing Dynasty..."

"The God of Fire is awesome, I'll wait to retreat to the Qing Dynasty..."



Crying shouts spread throughout the capital even though they were not far away. Driven by the Qing army, hundreds of thousands of civilians who were captured by the Qing army were pushing carts and crying with all their strength, fearing that

His voice weakened and he was slashed by a nearby Tatar soldier.

When people cry, they will look towards the capital in despair. These people are all women in their prime who were looted along the way when the Qing army invaded. When they arrive outside the pass, they will be rewarded to each banner and become their banners.

Clothes slave. At the edge of the team that stretched for more than ten miles, Dorgon was guarded by the generals with a cold face.

"Your Majesty, does this trick work?"

Du Du looked at the capital in the distance with some confusion. He was frightened by a "sky fire" outside Jinan City. He originally hoped that Dorgon would lead his troops to Jinan to avenge Yue Tuo, but he never thought

After joining him, Dorgon immediately made the decision to withdraw his troops.

"The God of Fire...the prince of virtue in Jinan, I don't know if he is Zhu Rong, but I know that Emperor Chongzhen in this city is definitely not a broad-minded lord!"

After saying this, Dorgon gave instructions to the slaves on the side.

"Let these Nikans shout as hard as they can, and anyone who dares not to use force will be chopped directly!"

Driven by the knife, the people all roared like their throats were breaking, and their shouts could be heard clearly even if they were several miles apart.

"Then Emperor Chongzhen will really kill that prince of virtue because of our shouting?"

In response to Du Du and others' rhetorical questions, Dorgon just smiled but said nothing.

He didn't care at all whether Chongzhen would kill Prince De, just like he didn't care about Yue Tuo's life or death. The only thing that made him heartbroken was the loss of more than 10,000 troops by Yue Tuo under Jinan City. To the Qing Dynasty, that was

The most important thing is, after all, the Qing Dynasty only had a few hundred thousand troops!

This time, more than 11,000 people have been discounted!

Such a loss can be said that the Qing Dynasty has never suffered a disastrous defeat since the founding of Emperor Taizu. It was even because of this that he hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of troops instead of joining forces to capture Jinan as Du Du said.

.

Even if Jinan is captured, those troops will not survive. What's more important is that now he can still blame everything on the dead Yue Tuo and Du Du. After all, they are the leading generals of the right-wing army, but

If he fails in Jinan, the emperor will definitely hold him accountable.

Moreover, with the precedent of Jinan's great victory, those Ming troops will definitely be emboldened. Just like these days, he has encountered many Ming army counterattacks on his way back north. If there is another accident at the gate of Jinan,

Whether these tens of thousands of people can go back is still unknown.

So...retreating is the best option.

At least for him, Dorgon, retreating is the best choice for personal preservation. Since the emperor will pursue him at that time, he can't explain why. After all, the right-wing army is led by Yue Tuo, and now he is dead.

Naturally, he should bear all the blame.

The most important thing for him, Dorgon, now is to bring back these tens of thousands of troops, as well as the people and materials looted from this entry. This is the most important thing.

As for that prince of virtue... just use this counterintuitive strategy.

Just do your best to obey fate!

Dorgon muttered in his heart, thought about it, and then gave instructions to his slaves.

"Let them shout again, God of Fire descends to earth, there is fire and virtue!"

So, soon, the officers, soldiers and people in the capital heard the deafening shouts outside the city - "The God of Fire descends to earth, there is fire and virtue!"

"The God of Fire descends to earth, and there is fire and virtue!"

The deafening shouts spread from outside the city to the inside of the city, and then to the palace. It reached the ears of the soldiers and civilians all over the city, and also reached the ears of the maids. Of course, even if Zhu Youjian was unwilling in every possible way,

These words still reached his ears word by word. Of course, they also reached the ears of Yang Sichang. He was holding a wat tablet and his face was also extremely ugly.

It was not just because the officers and soldiers were incompetent this time and allowed the Donglu to march thousands of miles away, but because this King De was, no, the prince of King De.

God of Fire descends!

It's okay, the noble prince of the feudal lord actually dares to call himself "the God of Fire descends to earth", which is a heinous crime.

"I think it is extremely absurd for the Crown Prince of De Fan to claim to be the "God of Fire" despite his meritorious service to the country. Now he is letting ignorant people spread rumors and claiming to be "Ying De" is really treason.

In my opinion, I can send an envoy to the high wall of Zhongdu..."

Before Yang Sichang could finish speaking, Zhu Youjian scolded him angrily.

"Send it to the high wall of Zhongdu. By then, the whole world will think that I am a foolish king who rewards and punishes unfairly. What are your intentions, Yang Sichang!"

The reason why Zhu Youjian is so angry is not just because those Donglu shouted "there is fire and virtue", nor because of "born in response to virtue", but because every time those words are shouted, it affects him.

The words were like a loud slap in the face.

Since the Donglu broke through the wall and invaded last year, the imperial court has been defeated again and again. Even the leading general died on the battlefield. Is it because the general is incompetent or the Donglu is too powerful? Now Zhu Youjian has no intention of pursuing it anymore.

What bothered him was still De Fan, the so-called "born in response to virtue", and of course, his face as an emperor.

Now, all the honor and respect he had as an emperor could be said to be gone after being shouted out like this by Donglu. But Yang Sichang actually said something and imprisoned Prince De in a high wall. By then, wouldn't the world be shocked! Not only the world

People would not be convinced, and would even accuse him as an emperor of "unclear rewards and punishments."

By then, it won't matter whether the prince of De Fan is virtuous or not. The whole world will know that this emperor is incompetent and has no virtue. By then, I am afraid that De Fan will really be worthy of his virtue.

How could he, the dignified chief assistant, come up with such a suggestion!

"I'm scared, I'm scared..."

Yang Sichang quickly bowed deeply and apologized. In fact, he had mixed feelings in his heart. Especially when he learned that Song Xuezhu was still alive, he felt even more disappointed. Not only was Song Xuezhu still alive, he had even made great contributions.

, even if this credit is "picked up", to him, it is still a loud slap in the face.

"Of course, Defan did make contributions to the country this time. I read the excerpt of Song Xuezhu, the governor of Shandong. In the excerpt, there is only credit for King De and the officials who defended the city. There is no mention of the so-called crown prince. Presumably, this must be the so-called "Yingde"

"The birth" is just a treacherous plot by the Donglu. Your Majesty must not fall into the trap..."

Yang Sichang, knowing full well that the emperor must be in a dilemma now, "drifted away" the merits of Crown Prince De in a few words.
