Ming Empire

Chapter 275 These Two Slutty Women
Dorgon, who was leading his troops back to aid Beijing, soon received the news that Beijing had fallen and the Ming army had entered the Forbidden City.

After receiving the news, Dorgon was stunned, completely unbelievable.

"What's going on here?" Dorgon angrily threw the whip in his hand on the ground, yelled viciously at the sergeant who came to report, and without waiting for the other party's answer, he jumped off the horse and punched the soldier. Knocked down by the terrified sergeant, he roared loudly again: "If you lie about the military information, this king will tear you to pieces."

The soul of the sergeant who delivered the report was frightened, rolled on the ground several times, then got up, climbed up to Dorgon tremblingly, and defeated Beijing by the Ming army, the attacking Ming army had already occupied the city In the imperial palace, all members of the royal family became prisoners of the Ming army, and other nobles in the city rushed to escape first, and the chaos in Beijing was repeated.

But the sergeant who reported the report hadn't finished talking about the situation, the second person who reported the report also ran in front of Dorgon.

Hearing that there was not much difference in the reports of the two sergeants before and after, Dorgon no longer doubted that the city of Beijing was really captured by the Ming army.Oh my God, how could this happen! Dorgon sighed in his heart, only felt that his eyes were darkened, and all the strength in his body was sucked away, and he fell down slowly.

This situation frightened the guards around to death, a large group of people rushed forward to help Dorgon, and called repeatedly, and someone poured goat milk for him.

After a while, Dorgon woke up slowly, looked at the surrounding situation blankly for a while, then shuddered, pushed away the guard who was helping him, and shouted angrily: "Come here, Prince Yu immediately!"

"Yes, master!" Several guards around agreed, quickly jumped on the horse, and ran away without a trace.

After a while, Prince Yu Duo Duo, who led the former army to run at the front, ran up to Dorgon on a flying horse carrying billowing dust.

"Brother Fourteen, why tell me?" Duoduo, who wished to fly back to Beijing, jumped off before the horse stopped, and ran to Dorgon in two steps in three steps, and asked loudly: "The Ming army is chasing again. Are you up?"

Because the servant army in the back of the palace was defeated and unable to resist the pursuing Ming army, Dorgon had to stop several times to fight the pursuing Ming army.Surprisingly, the chasing Ming army was super powerful, and the musket shooting that was almost the same as positional warfare caused heavy losses to the intercepting Qing army.In order to avoid more troubles, the former army led by Duoduo had to join the ranks of counterattacks, and only then barely repelled the pursuing Ming army.

It's just that the chasing soldiers who suffered a huge loss did not retreat because of this, but killed them desperately. The Qing army, which also suffered heavy losses, had almost no way to get rid of the chasing soldiers.Duoduo, who was afraid of Dorgon's accident, did not run very far with the former army. Both Dorgon and Duoduo believed that the partial division of the Ming army could not quickly break through the city of Beijing. With 10,000+ defenders, even if the Ming army arrived with an equal number of troops, it would be impossible to break through the city gate in a short time.Now the rest of them are almost all the elites of the Qing Dynasty, and there must be no big losses, otherwise the Qing Dynasty is really invincible.

This also made the speed of returning to the aid to build slaves much slower than expected. The continuous defeat made Dorgon hesitate.At this time, Dorgon still wanted to defend Beizhili. He subconsciously believed that the Ming army's surprise attack on Beijing did not really want to capture Beijing, but to force the Qing army to withdraw.

Dorgon believes that the Ming army led by Cao Yue is now at the end of its strength, and their ammunition and food must also be short.The Ming army's way of fighting is very staggering. With the financial resources of the remnant Ming army, it is difficult to support a long-term war, so Cao Yue had to play this card that he had to deal with, and sent a partial division to attack Beijing. , The purpose is to gain a chance for the Ming army to rest and reorganize, and then sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and watch the Qing army fight Li Zicheng's rogues to the death, and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Dorgon knew that Cao Yue's hasty Northern Expedition was because he didn't want the rogues to be completely wiped out by the Qing army. He wanted the rogues to have a chance to survive, so that after the rogues regained their vitality, they could consume the strength of the Qing Dynasty.And Cao Yue can take advantage of the desperate battle between the Qing Dynasty and the rogues and the rebellious Jiang Xiang brothers to start a rest and replenish various military supplies.

Dorgon was very helpless, but he also knew that Cao Yue used this trick, and he would definitely accept it, even if Cao Yue really just forced the Qing army to retreat. After all, Beijing has now become the capital of the Qing Dynasty and is the lifeblood of the Qing Dynasty. Where, if there is an eventuality, it will be a big trouble. They, the dignitaries of the Qing Dynasty, and their families are all in Beijing.

Duo Duo also agreed with Dorgon's point of view, thinking that the Ming army just sent a partial division to attack Beijing, but the loss of Tianjin Wei was of great importance. The canal from Wei to Beijing was temporarily blocked, preventing the Ming army's naval warships from passing.Beijing is not a place to stay for a long time. In this regard, Duoduo and Dorgon have different layouts. Especially under the current situation, Duoduo thinks so even more. He feels that the capital should be moved back to Shengjing, otherwise the risk will be too great.

But unexpectedly, the partial division of the Ming army broke through the city of Beijing. After hearing the news, Dorgon fainted in a fit of rage. After hearing the news, Duo Duo was also stunned and crumbling. "Brother Fourteen, how did this happen? The Ming army had a maximum of tens of thousands of troops. How could they break through the city of Beijing in such a short period of time? There must be traitors in the city who opened the city gates to cooperate with the Ming army."

Duo Duo's words also made Dorgon suddenly understand, but after thinking about it, something was wrong. Even if there was an internal response, the Ming army could break through the gate at most. How could it be possible to break through the palace very smoothly and occupy the Forbidden City?
Just when the two brothers were discussing and suspicious, another messenger from Beijing arrived at them. After listening to the report of the visitor, Dorgon and Duoduo probably understood what was going on.It turned out that Zhezhe and Bumbutai ordered the defenders of the entire Beijing city to give up resistance and hand over the defense of the imperial city to the Ming army. After the Ming army broke through the Chaoyang Gate, they occupied the palace almost without bloodshed.

"The two empress dowagers are actually... the internal response of the Ming army?" Duoduo said in astonishment, "How is this possible?"

Dorgon's face changed several times in an instant, and finally became very ferocious. He drew out his saber, held it viciously in the air, roared at the sky a few more times, and said to Duo Duo through gritted teeth: "Maybe it's really The reason for those two women is that they disintegrated the Qing army in Beijing and allowed the Ming army to successfully occupy the palace. These two bitch women, this king must kill them!"
