Chapter 396 Little people, big money

In Okuramu Hutong, the capital, there is a luxurious mansion, and most of the alleys are occupied, which is the mansion of Prince Zheng Jiergalang.

With the death of the kings and the death of death, Jirgalang became a high-ranking official in the Qing Dynasty after Dorgon. The struggles of the Qing Dynasty were always swords and swords, sons killed their mothers, brothers killed each other, and even wild boar skin and Huang Taiji died inexplicably. Faced with the powerful Dorgon, Jirgalang was not a good-for-nothing lamp. Especially with the death of Ajige, Dorgon's three brothers were left alone, and became more and more afraid of Jirgalang.

He came up with the idea of ​​self-deprecation to save his life. When building the mansion, he deliberately violated the rules and used copper cranes, copper turtles and other objects. As a result, he was ginseng and fined 2,000 yuan of silver. He lost his position as the King of Political Affairs. It seemed that he was completely useless, but at least he was dormant by this method, avoiding rounds of cruel struggles.

Jirgalang used his turtle-like wisdom and the vitality of a small strongman to nail it to the capital.

Finally he had the opportunity to break out of the ground. On that day, Jiergalang was listening to the opera in his mansion. Suddenly, an order came from the palace, and Bumubutai summoned Jiergalang himself.

It was absolutely unreasonable for the Empress Dowager to see the idle prince. Jiergalang hurriedly dressed neatly and immediately came to the Qianqing Palace.

As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he heard a slight cry inside. Jirhalang hurriedly calmed down and came inside under the guidance of the eunuch.

At this time, Bumubute pulled the little emperor Shunzhi and walked out slowly. The mother and son had tears in the corners of their eyes, obviously they had just cried.

"Prince Zheng. Come and let me sit down, come and give it to the prince!"

The little eunuch brought the Xiudun. Jirhalang sat down tremblingly.

"Prince Zheng, do you know what's wrong with the Ai family asking you to come?"

"I don't know!"

BumuButai often sighed: "Prince Zheng, the Ming army seized Tianjin Guards, and the gun was already on our heads. In the past two days, rumors and people's hearts were fluctuating. The Ai family's heart was also in chaos, and I really didn't know how to deal with it!"

Jirhalang hurriedly said, "Empress Dowager, I think the capital is as stable as Mount Tai. The Regent uses troops like a god and will return to help soon, so don't worry!"

Bumubutai shook his head: "Prince Zheng, it's really not to be hiding it. Dorgon just replied to the Ai family. He said that the safety of Tianjin Wei was just a partial army and was not worth worrying. Therefore, he had to concentrate his strength and annihilate the Ming army in Datong first. The safety of this capital must be handed over to the prince!"

"ah!"

Jirgalang seemed to have not heard it clearly and was shocked. Why did Dorgon change his temper? He wanted to use himself? Jirgalang's heart suddenly became restless, but he suppressed it again.

"The Empress Dowager. I have been neglecting government affairs for a long time and cannot cope with such a situation for a while. The slave thought that there were many important civil and military officials in the capital, and there seemed to be more appropriate candidates, such as the Grand Secretary Ning Wan, and Sony, who are the best choices!"

Bumubutai smiled bitterly, like a sick peach blossom, which was a little pitiful.

"Prince Zheng, now, who else can the Ai family believe in a royal family like you? Only you are sincerely for the Qing Dynasty's country. More than two years ago, my Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, and things were like a tide, and it was in a blink of an eye. However, since the battle in northern Henan, it has become more and more unsuccessful. Now that talents are in decline, all the elite soldiers and generals are lost. As the regent, Dorgon cannot refuse to blame!"

Plop!

Jirhalang hurriedly knelt on the ground. Dorgon was the de facto emperor. Except for Bumubutai, I am afraid that even the little emperor would not dare to say that!

"It's all the slaves who are incompetent, and they have nothing to do with the Regent!"

Bumubutai sneered: "Is it relevant? The Ai family knows it. After all, the world belongs to the emperor. The Ai family must be attentive. Prince Zheng, from now on, you will restore your identity as the king of politics and manage the defense of the capital. Your Majesty and the Ai family are in your hands. You must do your best to do your best!"

A real man should not be powerless for a day, and Jirgalang was not really dormant, but he was just afraid of Dorgon's power. But now, Dorgon is in power, but the Qing Dynasty is getting worse day by day, and it is getting worse day by day. Seeing that the capital is in trouble, it undoubtedly shows that Dorgon is incompetent.

Even the old lover, Empress Dowager Bumubutai, no longer trusts him. It seems that the time for him to come out has finally come true.

After thinking for a while, Jirgalang kowtowed hard, and then said, "The Queen Mother and Your Majesty trusted and valued slaves. Only by sprinkling this blood on the Queen Mother can abide by the holy grace!"

"No need to do this, no need to do this!" Bumubutai hurriedly helped Jirgalang up and asked with a smile: "Prince Zheng, do you have any ideas?"

Jiergalang thought for a while and said, "Empress Dowager, the Ming army must use the navy to attack Tianjin. If they want to attack the capital, they are afraid that they do not have the ability. The slave also agrees with the regent's judgment. But there is a little bit of slave who is very worried, that is, once the Ming army arrives outside the capital, the Han people in the city will be greatly encouraged and even take the opportunity to cause trouble. People's hearts are floating, and they are in harmony with the inside and outside, and the slave is afraid that they will lose some mistakes and no one can afford to bear the crime!"

Bumubutai nodded. She did not read it wrong. Speaking of which, Dorgon may not be unaware of the hidden dangers in the capital, but he regarded Gu Zhenhua as his biggest opponent and wanted to defeat Gu Zhenhua, so he ignored some things. But in Bumubutai's eyes, it was obvious that the safety of her and her son, the Qing Dynasty's country was the most important!

"Prince Zheng, you are right, but how should you do it?"

"When I returned to the Empress Dowager, I thought that the whole city should be mobilized first and put on strict vigilance. I didn't know that I should be prepared for the Ming army's sneak attacks and also control the Han people in the city. The existing personnel must not be enough. For the sake of the present, I can only mobilize all the people in Beijing and Manchu. Every household, as long as there are strong men, from the age of ten to seventy, as long as they can move, they must come out. Patrol the city, watch the Han people, and strengthen their defense. In addition, I thought that I knew myself and the enemy, and should also investigate the situation of the Ming army in Tianjin, counterattack at Tianjin, take it back, and lock the door up!"

Bumubutai raised his beautiful eyes and asked in surprise: "Prince Zheng, do you have a way to defeat An**?"

Jiergalang smiled proudly: "The Queen Mother, I have been in charge of the army in Daming Mansion. I have fought with An** and have won and lost each other. It is true that An** is not easy to deal with, but my Eight Banners Iron Cavalry is fast and has strong combat power. As long as you find the right opportunity, you may not be unable to fight and win, and you don't have to be afraid of the enemy like a tiger!"

Seeing that Jirgalang was full of confidence, Bumubutai also showed a little joy. Maybe she really relied on Dorgon in the transition. If she changed herself, she might have a new look.

"Son of the emperor, come here!"

Bumubute pulled the little emperor Fulin and arrived in front of Jirgalang.

"Son of the Emperor, Prince Zheng is a pillar of my Qing Dynasty. We are the support of our mother and son. You can salute him quickly!"

As he said that, Bumubute pulled the little emperor and scared Jirgalang, and he knelt on the ground again and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Empress Dowager, I dare not do my best to assist Your Majesty. Please rest assured you and Your Majesty!"

Jirhalang slapped his chest so loudly that he said goodbye and left the palace. He immediately took action and called all the Eight Banners nobles in the city to the court room, asking them to mobilize the people of each Banner to prepare for battle.

Jiergalang was dressed in military uniform, pressing the hilt of the sword in his hand, and said to everyone: "Listen, we are all ministers of the Qing Dynasty, and our glory and wealth, and our descendants are all tied to the safety of the Qing Dynasty. As the saying goes, we have to raise soldiers for a thousand days, and now it is time to serve the Qing Dynasty. All of you, nephews, slaves, Baoyi, and Goshha are all gathered for me. The two yellow flags are responsible for the East City, the two white flags are West City, the two red flags are South City, and the two blue flags are North City. Everyone must do their best to defend the city and watch over the Han people in the city. When they encounter rebellion, they will be killed immediately!"

As the saying goes, there are one thousand people in the family. With Jirgalang's command, the people in the city finally felt much more at ease. Sony, Ebilong and others immediately took action, summoned the flag managers and prepared for the battle.

Jirgalang even led the team to patrol the cities. The spring breeze was so proud that the horse's hooves were fast. Although it was still in the first month and the cold wind was still there, Prince Zheng had already felt a hint of warm sunshine, and he finally turned over. As long as he fought the battle in front of him, he would be a hero who defended the capital and would be on par with Dorgon!

"Dorgon, you have a high opinion of yourself. I didn't expect that even your woman would not trust you anymore. It's really a laughing thing!"

Jirgalang's team passed Yandaixiong Street and moved forward. He did not notice that he was poking his head out from time to time in the buildings on both sides, staring at his movements.

Xia Wanchun, his father Xia Yunyi, and his master Chen Zilong all hated the Qing Dynasty and wanted to serve the country. However, they were very close to the people in Donglin. They respected Gu Zhenhua, the gravedigger in Donglin, and thanked Bumin.

Because of this, Xia Wanchun thought of taking a different approach to the sword. He heard that there was an organization called the Tiandihui, which took anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty as his mission. Xia Wanchun immediately joined the Tiandihui, and did not avoid danger, so he went to the capital to look for opportunities.

Xia Wanchun is only 16 years old this year, but she is agile and good at making friends. She has a high status in the Tiandihui. He has long planned to assassinate important members of the Qing Dynasty, and now he has finally targeted Prince Zheng Jiergalang.

Jirgalang came out of the palace and patrolled around. Yandaixiong Street was originally a good place to start, but there was no cover here, so it was inconvenient to start. He could only place his target on Ganshui Bridge next to Shichahai!

The people from the Tiandihui kept sending information here, and Xia Wanchun felt that his chest was hot and his blood was boiling.

"Here you come!"

In a word, Xia Wanchun's heart was raised to his throat. He happened to hide in the restaurant and looked outside. Sure enough, a group of people came and saw that they must be a prince-level figure.
