The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 86

"Report to the emperor, Jianu sent an envoy outside the city to ask for an audience!"

As soon as Zhu Cihong sent off the two girls who looked devastated, Liu Xi hurried over to report.

"Oh?"

"Quick, bring it directly to see me."

Zhu Cihong was startled for a moment, then his eyes lit up after thinking about it, and he immediately urged.

This time Dorgon sent Fan Wencheng, and after entering the city, he looked around frequently, and did not look back until he was taken to the side hall of the Qianqing Palace.

"Student Fan Wencheng met Emperor Ming!"

Looking at the little emperor sitting on the dragon chair, Fan Wencheng bowed and saluted.

He looked neither humble nor overbearing, but he was a little apprehensive.

"Fan Wencheng, if you guessed correctly, your ancestor should be Fan Wengong!"

"Worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later. If Fan Gongquan finds out that there are traitors like you who are willing to be slaves of the Tartars, I don't know how they will feel!"

Zhu Cihong looked at this famous traitor and said coldly.

Fan Wencheng didn't expect that the little emperor could know his own background, so he felt ashamed and embarrassed for a moment, so he could only keep silent and didn't answer.

"Tell me, what did Dorgon send you here for?"

Zhu Cihong didn't want to waste his words with this kind of person, so he said directly.

"Returning to Emperor Ming, my regent knows that Emperor Ming is worrying about food and grass. My regent is kind-hearted and does not want innocent people in the city to suffer and starve to death. He specially sends students to fight. If Emperor Ming has the courage, after five days, the two armies Will hunt in Tongzhou!"

Fan Wencheng cupped his hands, and after speaking, he took out the letter of challenge from his arms, and held it above his head with both hands.

The female soldier at the side immediately walked over to take the letter of challenge, snorted coldly, and returned to Zhu Cihong's side.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

"Such aggressive tactics, dare to use an ax in front of me. Go back and tell Dorgon that I really don't have much food and grass, but there is still more than enough for the first half of the year. If he wants to fight, he will take the initiative to attack. Tongzhou Let him choose one in the capital!"

Zhu Cilang took the gauntlet and glanced at it, then threw it aside, laughing loudly.

"If that's the case, the student will leave."

Fan Wencheng smiled, bowed again, then turned and left.

Zhu Cihong didn't kill him. In the future, he will go to Liaodong himself to wipe out these traitors and lackeys.

After Fan Wencheng left, Zhu Cihong could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart.

He knew that Wu Sangui and Huang Degong must have succeeded.

Dorgon then sent Fan Wencheng to test it out. Although he wished to fight Jiannu to the death right away, he knew that the more he wanted to fight at this time, the more he had to show that he didn't want to fight, otherwise it would be counterproductive.

Immediately, Zhu Cihong loaded half of the remaining 30 stone grains into a car, escorted them to Tongzhou, returned quietly at night, and escorted them to Tongzhou the next day, and went back and forth three times before giving up.

Sure enough, Dorgon saw that the capital had transported a large amount of grain to Tongzhou for three consecutive days, and heard from Fan Wencheng that the soldiers in the city ate all steamed buns with fine noodles, so he couldn't guess the truth for a while.

"Sir, do you think the little emperor is deliberately bluffing?"

"My lord, bluff is certain, but the falsehood is the real one, the real one is the false one, the falsehood is the real one, I don't dare to say how much food and grass the little emperor has left, I'm afraid only he himself knows."

Hong Chengchou shook his head with a wry smile.

Dorgon's brows were twisted into Sichuan characters, he got up and paced back and forth in the tent again, his face full of confusion.

Sometimes he clenched his teeth and clenched his fist, and sometimes he let go. This appearance made Duduo and Azig on the side uncomfortable, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Hong Chengchou also didn't dare to say much, and he wouldn't say much, he said everything that should be said. As for Dorgon's choice, that was Dorgon's own business.

Dorgon also knew that it was related to the fate of the Qing Dynasty, and he could only rely on himself on how to choose.

Now he has returned Zhongce to the division to attack Shanhaiguan, and he has completely ruled it out. All that remains is to continue to stand still and take a gamble, and to attack Tongzhou.

But the risk of the former is extremely high, and the chance of winning the latter is extremely low. It is really difficult to choose, so Fan Wencheng was sent to the challenge to try it out.

But the result of the trial still made him undecided.

I can't figure out whether the little emperor is bluffing, he is really running out of food, and he wants to trick him into opening up Tongzhou, or he does it on purpose, he has enough food and grass, and wants to consume himself to death.

.........

Half a month passed in a flash.

Zhu Cihong and Dorgon didn't make any moves, they just paid close attention to each other's every move.

Because both sides don't know how much food and grass the other side has and how long it can last. At this time, any action may be counterproductive.

Both of them are fighting for patience, whoever can't bear it first will show his feet.

The tremendous pressure made Dorgon seem to be ten years old, and the end of the pig's tail on his head began to turn white.

And his opponent Zhu Cihong was also not much better.

Seeing that the food supply is decreasing day by day, a large number of people in the city starve to death every day, and Jiannu has not seen any movement for a long time, and is also restless and awakened by nightmares every night.

The whole person lost a lot of weight.

Empress Zhou, Zhang Yan and everyone who cared about Zhu Cihong saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts, but they all knew that unless they could produce food, they would not be able to help at all.

"Mother, this can't go on like this. Food in the outer city must be completely cut off. Except for the combatants in the inner city, everyone can only eat rice bran and wheat bran. Each person has a bowl a day. No one is an exception. Anyone who violates it will be shot!"

Another five days later, when the grain in the city could only last for another month, and Tongzhou had to transport grain to the past, Zhu Cihong couldn't sit still anymore, his eyes were bloodshot, and he directed at the two women.

Obviously going insane.

He intends to abandon all the people who eat dry food.

Before the two girls could answer, their faces changed and they said again: "No, this won't last long, we can't delay any longer, we must move the capital immediately, we must transport all the food to Tongzhou, leave immediately, leave now..."

After finishing speaking, he stood up, but after thinking about it, he sat down again, and said in a deep voice: "Then Dorgon didn't kill the horse, that is to say, he didn't intend to fight for consumption. At this time, all previous efforts must not be wasted!"

"Lang'er, I'm so worried about you being a queen mother..."

The two women were terrified when they saw him chattering.

"Emperor...Emperor, the Tartars started preparing to break camp an hour ago!"

At this moment, Liu Xi rushed in yelling.

Zhu Cilang was shocked when he heard the words, rushed up to grab him and shouted: "Say it again?"

"Emperor...Emperor, Tar... Tartar, we started preparing to break out of the camp an hour ago."

Liu Xi was so frightened that he said tremblingly.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

"Okay! Dorgon... You still can't hold your breath after all, you coward! Hahahahahaha..."

Zhu Cihong let go of him, looked up to the sky and burst out laughing, laughing and laughing, but suddenly the extreme joy turned into sorrow, rolled his eyes, and fell straight backwards.

"Ah... Langer!"

"My lord..."

"His Majesty!"

At this scene, the two women and the eunuchs and guards were startled and screamed again and again, and rushed forward to help Zhu Cihong up.

"Quickly send the doctor..."

Empress Zhou shouted at the top of her lungs.
