Three hundred and ninetieth chapters one response (2)
When Yue Le walked up to the Danban, his body was still trembling slightly. He was about to speak to the hundreds of people standing outside the Huangji Palace. This was not a small formation, not to mention that almost all the officers above the third-class Jialazhangjing in the Eight Banners Army came.
Regent Dorgon and Prince Ying Ajige stood above Danji. The two did not enter the Huangji Hall. Only the emperor was qualified to sit in the imperial chariot in this hall. Although the Qing Dynasty had not yet established its capital, Dorgon and Ajige still knew the rules. If the army led by Duoduo won a great victory and returned to the capital, Dorgon might have the courage to enter the Huangji Hall.
The palace guards have already gone to Chenyang and handed Dorgon's memorial to the emperor and the empress dowager. Perhaps it will take no long. Prince Zheng Jirhalang will go to the capital to preside over the overall situation of the government. As for the emperor and the empress dowager, it is impossible to go to the capital in a short time.
Under such circumstances, Dorgon naturally needed to keep a low profile, not to mention that he was preparing to lead a large army to fight in Shandong.
"Everyone was quiet, and the Duke of Zhenguo Yue Le returned to the capital from Shaanxi, bringing news on the battlefield..."
Dorgon's words are still powerful, but they lack the calmness and domineeringness they usually have.
Everyone calmed down and looked at Yue Le, who was pale and trembling slightly.
"Dear sirs, I was commissioned by Prince Yu Duoduo to return to the capital. This is Prince Yu's jade plaque."
Yue Le raised the jade plaque high, and everyone looked at the jade plaque in his hand again.
The outside of Huangji Palace was surprisingly quiet, only when the whistling north wind blew, an ominous premonition began to cover the surroundings.
"I followed the general from the capital and went to Shaanxi to fight. The army experienced the battle of Tongguan, the battle of Xi'an Prefecture, the battle of Yingjianling and the battle of Malanshan. The general led the army to completely wipe out the Dashun army, killed Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin, and captured Xi'an Prefecture. Then the army headed towards Datong, preparing to conquer the Datong general Jiang Xiang, who was preparing to conquer the Ming Dynasty, and stabilize the situation in the north."
"The Ming army set up an ambush in Malan Mountain, Tongguan County, Shaanxi, which led to an ambush from our army. I saw my father die on the battlefield with my own eyes. There were more than 100,000 Ming troops besieging our army..."
When Yue Le spoke this, his voice began to choke.
"The Grand Marshal delivered the jade plaque to me, let me break through and return to the capital, and report the news about the Battle of Malan Mountain..."
"Duke Zhenguo, you are talking nonsense. Did you steal the jade plaque from Prince Yu and escape back..."
"Yuele, you are here to shake the morale of the army and spread rumors. I will kill you..."
The people under the Huangji Palace were in an instant and several officers of the Eight Banners Army were even preparing to rush to Danqi and grab Yue Le, but they were stopped by the tightly guarded palace guards.
Fan Wencheng's face turned pale and his body trembled violently. When he turned his head to look at Hong Chengchou, tears appeared in his eyes.
"Hong, Lord Hong, how is this possible? How is this possible? Is the Duke of Zhenguo confused? He actually spreads rumors..."
Hong Chengchou was secretly happy inside, but there was no sign of his face.
"Mr. Fan, I didn't expect this to be the case. Let's hear what the Regent said."
Almost all of the Han officials standing at the back were bowing their heads. Most of them were surrendered to the Later Jin court after the fall of the capital. There were many high-ranking officials of the first and second ranks. These people first surrendered to the Dashun court, expressing their loyalty to Li Zicheng, and then surrendered to the Later Jin court. Perhaps they felt that the Ming Dynasty had perished.
Yue Le's words made them fall into despair. They surrendered to the Dashun court, but Li Zicheng was killed and the Dashun court was completely destroyed. They surrendered to the Later Jin court. As a result, the most elite Zhengbai Banner and the Inlaid White Banner were ambushed by the Ming army, and they were probably wiped out. In less than a year, the emperor Zhu Cilang, who ascended the throne of the Ming Dynasty, actually did such a shocking thing. First, the Battle of Wuqiao, wiped out 10,000 Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers and 10,000 Han soldiers. Jueluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu were killed, and then the Battle of Jingzhou, Prince Su Haoge of the Qing Dynasty was killed, and five thousand Zhenghong Banner soldiers were destroyed. Now it is the Battle of Malanshan again. Prince Yu of the Qing Dynasty, Duoduo of the Qing Dynasty was probably killed, and Prince Abatai of the Duoluo Raoyu was killed, and the 50,000 army was wiped out.
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was so powerful, wouldn’t it mean that the Ming Dynasty court would soon conquer the capital? These Han officials who surrendered to the Later Jin court were in a desperate situation?
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Dorgon stepped forward and looked at everyone below.
"Don't be in trouble. Yue Le brought Prince Yu's jade tablet back to the capital. He was commissioned by Prince Yu to come back to report the news. Yue Le also suffered a lot before returning to the capital. The two personal soldiers who escorted Yue Le back to the capital have hanged themselves."
Everyone was stunned again and looked at Dorgon, who was expressionless.
"I have discussed with Prince Ying. Since the Ming Dynasty has dispatched a large army to fight in Shaanxi, the defenses in Shandong and Nanzhili must be empty. The Eight Banners Army must seize the opportunity to attack Shandong and other places, defeat the Ming army, and completely destroy the Ming Dynasty. As for the army led by Prince Yu, I have sent scouts to Shaanxi and Shanxi to find out the exact news. Once there is accurate news, the Political Council will discuss in detail the response method..."
After a brief silence, Zhenghuangqi second-class Jiala Zhangjing Tan Tai spoke loudly.
"The slave is willing to follow the Regent to fight in Shandong, defeat the Ming army, and completely destroy the Ming court..."
Tan Tai's words instantly aroused the anger of many Eight Banners officers. They all began to shout loudly, willing to follow Dorgon to fight in Shandong and completely defeat the Ming army.
In fact, everyone understands that since Abatai was killed in battle, it is impossible for Duoduo to evacuate the battlefield. He was surrounded by a 100,000 Ming army, and there is no possibility of survival. Although Dorgon concealed the casualties of the 50,000 army, some Manchu nobles still obtained information through various methods. The Han army was almost completely lost in the Battle of Tongguan, and the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners also suffered certain casualties. In the Battle of Xi'an Prefecture, the Eight Banners suffered heavy losses, and the Eight Banners also suffered certain losses. After the extermination of Li Zicheng and Dashun Army, the remaining troops of the Eight Banners were less than 30,000. Such a small force was surrounded by a 100,000 Ming army. How could there be a good ending?
After the Battle of Wuqiao and the Battle of Jingzhou, the Manchus became much calmer. Although they were arrogant, they were still rational and knew that the Ming army today was completely different from before.
Hong Chengchou, who was still lowering his head, showed a meditative expression. He did feel strange that the army led by Dodo was ambushed by the Ming army, and the result was annihilation of the entire army. This can be said to be a heavy loss from the Qing Dynasty and the Eight Banners Army, and it is also an unbearable loss. Logically speaking, Dorgon, Ajige and others need the first thing to do is to rest and stabilize the court. To take a step back, in order to calm the anger of many Manchu and powerful people, it is also possible to send troops to Shandong, but this should be a top-secret action. Only a few people are qualified to know. Why did Dorgon publicly announce it in the Huangji Palace? Everyone in the world knows it.
There were only more than 100,000 troops stationed in the capital, nearly half of which were the Han army. What if Dorgon led them to conquer Shandong, the Ming army still in Shaanxi and other places suddenly besieged the capital? Will Dorgon and Ajige ignore the capital?
When he looked up again, Dorgon had announced that officers from the second-class Jialazhangjing and above of the Eight Banners Army would go to Wuying Hall, and many princes, Beile, Beizi, Duke Zhenguo and Manchu officials would also go to Wuying Hall, while the rest would go to the official office.
Seeing the vast crowd heading towards Wuying Palace, Hong Chengchou turned around and headed outside the palace.
A palace guard rushed over, stood in front of Fan Wencheng and said a few words. Fan Wencheng nodded and followed the palace guards towards Wuying Palace.
Hong Chengchou accelerated his pace. He wanted to return to his mansion immediately and report the news to Dong Yuansheng. Regardless of whether this was the true meaning of Dorgon, Ajige and others, of course, Hong Chengchou would also join his own analysis.
But a few minutes passed, and only Yue Le's lonely back was left on the Danmu. Dorgon had asked him to go back and rest, and he did not need to attend the small court meeting in Wuying Hall.
Yue Le couldn't ask for anything, so he had long thought about going home. Although his father had left, he still had his second and third brothers at home.
Walking out of Chengtian Gate, Yue Le saw a large group of Eight Banners Army officers waiting outside with an indignant expression on their faces. These officers were of low rank and were not qualified to go to Wuying Hall.
Several officers went forward, one of them pointed at Yue Le and cursed, while the others followed him. They no longer said that Yue Le escaped at the battle, but believed that Yue Le wanted to follow his father, Prince Abatai of Rao Yuduoluo, and some people said that the two personal soldiers who followed Yue Le back to the capital were doing very well, and they were real men of the Eight Banners, and Yue Le also wanted to be a real man among the people.
Yue Le looked at everyone coldly, without saying a word, nor did he fight back. In his heart, he began to regret it. He returned to the capital without thinking carefully, and went directly to the palace. He should have to go home first, discuss with his second and third brothers before making a decision. This at least there is a good solution.
The 50,000 army went to war and surrounded Yue Le and came back alive, which was already angering.
"What are you doing? Get out of the way, fourth brother, follow us home."
Boluo appeared, and with several soldiers, he yelled at the many Eight Banners Army officers who besieged Yue Le.
Seeing Boluo, many Eight Banners Army officers gave up a way. Boluo followed Huang Taiji to fight ten years ago and made many military achievements. He was awarded the title of Beile for his outstanding military achievements. He received attention from Huang Taiji and Dorgon and others. His identity was naturally extraordinary. Many Eight Banners Army officers did not dare to be arrogant in front of Boluo.
Boluo snorted heavily, walked forward, and took Yue Le's hand.
"Why are you still stunned? Look up and go home with me."
