Anti Qing

Chapter 85 Rumors
Speaking, Dorgon looked around.

He naturally noticed that Ciqing Palace had many new faces.

So he sneered, with thorns in his words.

"The Empress Dowager has become more active. Are these Manchurian girls newly elected?"

Bumbutai's thoughts are delicate, but no matter how delicate his thoughts are, he can't hide them in front of Dorgon.

With just one glance, he understood Bumbutai's secret plan.

For things that affect status, Dorgon is not benevolent at all, even if the person he has to deal with is Da Yuer.

Dorgon stood up and walked in front of these Manchu court women, his sharp eyes suddenly appeared, which surprised them all.

Bumbutai sat on the couch, his face remained unchanged, but his heart was full of turmoil.

Deliberately put on a seductive posture in order to cover up, but who would have imagined that Dorgon was not affected in the slightest, and was still discovered by him.

"The Empress Dowager Mother dismissed the maids of the Ming Dynasty in batches, but recruited these people from the Manchurians into the palace."

Dorgon put his hand on the chin of a beautiful Manchurian maid, looked around, and turned his head to look up.

"Did the Empress Dowager Mother work too much recently?"

Bumbutai raised her head and faced Dorgon, her eyes did not retreat or fear, but went straight up.

But no matter how she maintained her stability, there was still an unmistakable tremor in her voice.

Bumbutai, who has just become the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother, is supported by the firm belief of protecting his son as the emperor, but facing Dorgon's murderous look in his eyes alone, he still seems too weak.

"Uncle Regent led the army to enter the pass, and made great achievements in the Qing Dynasty. For such a small matter, Aijia can come by himself, so I don't bother Uncle Regent."

Under the tense eyes of everyone, Dorgon laughed, put away his murderous gaze just now, and paced back.

"In that case, I have to thank the Queen Mother for her understanding?"

"Holy Mother Huang Taiji suddenly summoned me into the palace, I'm afraid it wasn't for me to see these newly summoned palace ladies?"

Bumbutai sighed and said earnestly.

"The Ai family summoned the regent to enter the palace just to do homework for the emperor."

"The Ai family knows that the regent led me to enter the Qing Dynasty, set the world in order, and manage all kinds of opportunities every day. It's easier said than done!"

"But this child, after all, is the blood of my Emperor Taizong, and is my hope for the future of the Qing Dynasty."

"I ask my uncle, the Regent, to spare time to discipline Fulin strictly. Make sure he reads more famous works of Chinese sages, so that he can understand the principles of governing the country and the people."

"The Ai family also often taught this child that it is not easy for him to always think about his uncle, the Regent, who helped him ascend the throne, and also to act as an agent of the Qing Dynasty."

After hearing this, Dorgon felt better. When he raised his eyes, he saw that Bumbutai's eyes were very sincere, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes, so he couldn't help being moved.

No matter what Fulin thinks about it, at least Da Yuer still knows her difficulties.

Dorgon smiled slightly, and decided not to pursue the affairs of the Ciqing Palace.

"The emperor is very smart, much smarter than all of us, but he is a bit playful. This problem is better than stupidity, and it is best to correct it."

"Now that the northwest is about to be pacified and Thief Li will be wiped out, I will order Duoduo to divide his troops into the south of the Yangtze River and attack the whole country."

"From now on, what the emperor wants to govern is not just this half of the world, but a unified country. He must study hard and pass on the skills of horseback riding and archery that I used to establish the Qing Dynasty."

"Able to write and perform martial arts, this is the demeanor that my Eight Banners disciples should have."

While the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Report to Uncle Regent!"

"Urgent report from Tongguan! It's urgent!"

Dorgon chatted with Bumbutai for a few words, as if all the pressure of the whole person had been released from the past few days, and the whole person felt like a spring breeze.

He smiled and waved outward, very happy.

"It must be that Duoduo has captured Tongguan, joined Azig, and headed for Xi'an."

"This Duoduo is really good at fighting. When he comes back, I will definitely invite the Holy Mother Empress Dowager to reward him heavily!"

Bumbutai didn't have the slightest doubt about what Dorgon said.

Although the number of Manchu soldiers in the Qing army under Duduo was slightly inferior to that of Azig, and the quality was dominated by the green battalion, they were not comparable to those of the rogues.

Now the two groups of soldiers are approaching the northwest, breaking through Tongguan and occupying Xi'an, which is the general trend.

In Bumbutai's heart, he was already thinking about how to deal with the two brothers and keep Fulin's throne after Duoduo returned to Beijing in triumph.

Dorgon took the emergency report in his hand and glanced while speaking.

As he looked down, Dorgon's words gradually slowed down until they came to a complete standstill, the smile on his face froze, and anger loomed on his face.

Dorgon's appearance made the entire Ciqing Palace turn cold again.

Bumbutai couldn't help but wonder in his heart, did he lose the battle?
But as soon as this thought appeared in her mind, she immediately threw it away. The Qing Dynasty fought successively victoriously, and Duoduo was a seasoned fighter, how could he lose the battle?

Dorgon's hands were tightly clutching the message, the skin at the corners of his eyes seemed to be split open, and two round eyeballs seemed to burst out.

Seeing his appearance, Bumbutai was also a little scared.

Since entering the customs, Dorgon's performance has always been calm, and this is the first time he has shown such a gaffe. It seems that a very important event has occurred in the military situation.

"Uncle Regent—"

Bumbutai trembled, intending to ask.

But was interrupted roughly by Dorgon, he stood up, with blood in his tiger eyes, and threw the wrinkled emergency report over.

Then, he turned around and quickly walked out of the Ciqing Palace.

Dorgon's performance made the entire Ciqing Palace unclear.

After he left for a long time, a palace maid stepped forward bravely, picked up the emergency report, and fell to the ground after just looking at it.

Seeing her like this, Bumbutai became even more anxious and stretched out his hand.

"Show the urgent report to Ai's family!"

The maid who watched at first was already so weak that she couldn't stand up, another maid stepped forward and handed the emergency report to the couch with trembling hands.

When Bumbutai received it, his whole body was like petrification.

She finally understood why Dorgon, who had always been calm, lost his composure just now.

It was clearly written in the Tang newspaper that Prince Yu Duoduo and Dashun Li Bandit fought in Tongguan. The two sides assembled hundreds of thousands of troops and fought fiercely for several days.

In the end, Duoduo lost his troops and lost his generals, and had to retreat to Huaiqing!
Said that he had no choice but to retreat to Huaiqing to reorganize the army, but he was defeated.

In the urgent report, there was a series of lists of generals who died in battle, from the military attache of Manchuria to the military attache of the green battalion. It was shocking to see Bumubutai, and I couldn't believe it was true.

Aixinjueluo Shangshan, the commander of the guard army, died in the battle outside Tongguan, Dorobelenikan was seriously injured and retreated, and more than ten high-ranking Manchurian military officers died in battle.

Geng Zhongming, king of Huaishun, was captured and killed by Li Zijing, the third younger brother of Li Zicheng. More than a dozen right-wing military officers of all ranks including Tu Guobao, the chief soldier of the green camp, all died in battle. Wu Zhaosheng, the chief soldier of the left-wing green camp, surrendered before the battle!
In addition to the earth-shattering news from Tongguan, the northern line is not optimistic.

Without the support of Tongguan, Azig fought fiercely with the Dashun army under Li Guo and Gao Yigong on the northern front for more than ten days, but still failed to shake Dashun's Yan'an and Yulin defense lines.

The Northwest War has fallen into a protracted period!
At the beginning, the idea of ​​quickly conquering the northwest and destroying Dashun has become empty talk now.

The impact of the Battle of Tongguan was no less than that of the Battle of Dingding in Shanhaiguan. No one could have imagined that Dashun would turn against the wind under such circumstances.

Rumors of the war, the situation has changed suddenly!
