Ming Empire

Chapter 276 Chaotic Beijing City
"Brother Fourteen, why do you say that?" Duoduo was dumbfounded.

"Those two sluts, they succumbed when Cao Yue led his army to break through Shengjing last time," Dorgon called everyone around him back, and then said to Duo Duo in a low voice: "You may not understand some things. I know that Cao Yue raped the first emperor's woman after conquering Shengjing, Hai Lanzhu was raped to death, Zhezhe and Bumubutai were also raped by Cao Yue successively. I only found out afterwards, Bumubu Tai actually stayed with Cao Yue for several nights. They were willing to be played by Cao Yue, and this time Cao Yue’s troops came to the city, maybe with their promise, they would give in again and sacrifice the city of Beijing.”

"Brother Fourteen, shouldn't it be? Yu'er is still the emperor's mother," Duoduo gasped, still not quite convinced.He is well aware of the inexplicable emotional entanglement between Dorgon and Bumbutai. His fourteenth brother, who admires Bumbutai, has a lot to do with Fulin becoming the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. .Duo Duo always believed that Dorgon's favorite woman was Bum Butai, and he could give up a lot for this woman.But I didn't expect that Dorgon would say that about Bumbutai today.

"Maybe it's true!" Dorgon glanced at Duo Duo and sighed slightly, but he didn't explain the reason too much, but said solemnly: "Now is not the time to investigate the reason, whether it is just now or not." For the factors I mentioned, it is a fact that Beijing has been breached by the Ming army, and the imperial palace has been occupied by them. Leave the other things alone, and find a way to clean up the mess.”

"Brother Fourteen, what are we going to do?" Duoduo heard something different from Dorgon's words, and couldn't help interjecting to ask.

Dorgon hesitated for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Fifth brother, Beijing, we definitely can't hold it, I can only retreat outside the customs. But the family members in Beijing must find a way to rescue them, so I decided, The two of us brothers will go separately, and you will lead a group of troops and retreat directly outside the pass to Shengjing. Even if the Ming army regains the north, they will not be able to leave the pass to fight immediately. I will personally lead the army and go back to rescue Beijing."

Hearing Dorgon's arrangement, Duo Duo's heart sank, and he understood Dorgon's intentions, and immediately said: "Brother Fourteen, let my younger brother lead the army to rescue Beijing, and you lead a team back to the outside of the pass. Are you the big brother?" The pillar of the Qing Dynasty, everything in the Qing Dynasty, can only go well under your auspices, the Qing Dynasty can do without me, but can not do without you. Don't worry, the younger brother will lead the army to fight to the death and rescue our family members."

"I've made up my mind, so don't fight, just obey the arrangement!" Dorgon reached out and patted Duo Duo on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Fifth brother, you are resourceful and resourceful. I have nothing to worry about, and I have nothing to worry about. In the future, everything about the Qing Dynasty will be entrusted to you. This chaos was caused by me alone, and it was all because of my carelessness and aggressiveness. This led to such a good situation. The two battles in Liaocheng and Dezhou were completely ruined. I will not die, and I will die in peace. No matter what, I will fight Cao Yue again. If I die in his hands , then there is no regret!"

"Brother Fourteen..." Duo Duo wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Duo ErGun. "Fifteenth brother, don't say anything, just do it like this. You lead the two yellow flags and two white flags and retreat from the direction of Datong to the outside of the Great Wall. Remember, there must be no love for war along the way. I will personally lead The army rescued Beijing, and sent another force to pretend to retreat in the direction of Shanhaiguan to confuse the Ming army." Dorgon said very resolutely.

After Dodo gritted his teeth for a while, Dorgon finally stopped arguing and nodded vigorously, agreeing to Dorgon's arrangement.

Because of the urgency of the situation, the two brothers did not say anything more, so they divided up.Duoduo led tens of thousands of horses with two yellow banners and two white banners, and a group of eight Mongolian banners. They separated from the army and rushed directly to Datong.Dorgon led the rest of the troops and continued to rescue Beijing.

At the same time, Dorgon ordered Azig, who led the army to fight against the bandits, to return to Beijing immediately and stop fighting with the bandits.

Except for discussing with Duoduo, Dorgon never asked anyone else's idea about such an arrangement, not even Fan Wencheng.Apart from the two of them knowing about the division of troops between the two brothers, no one else knew about it.

Both Dorgon and Duoduo knew that according to the current situation, the collapse of the Qing Dynasty was unavoidable, and no one knew how much could be saved in the end.There was no way to save Beijing. Before the main force of the Ming army arrived in Beijing, what the Qing army could do was rescue.

It's just that Dorgon himself doesn't know how many family members and property he can save.

The fighting power of the Ming army is really terrifying. After the Battle of Liaocheng, Dorgon thought that the Ming army could not launch a quick attack, and the muskets could not exert their power when they were in a hurry. Only now did he know that everything was his wrong judgment. During the rapid pursuit, the musketeers could form formation at any time and deal a devastating blow to the Qing army.

Cao Yue's slow advance was just to paralyze Daqing from top to bottom, and in the end he wanted to deal a fatal blow to Daqing.Now, this fatal blow has been delivered, and the Qing army is completely unable to fight back. Everything is due to the damn firearms, which makes the Qing's cavalry and archery useless.

The good situation turned into a mess in a blink of an eye. The grief and indignation in Dorgon's heart really can't be described in words. What he expects now is to fight Cao Yue fiercely outside Beijing. Even if he can't win, he will It is necessary to inflict heavy casualties on the Ming army and prevent the Ming army from pursuing Duoduo's troops.Of course, the premise is that some of the family members and property in Beijing must be rescued.

And just when Dorgon and Duoduo divided their troops about a day's journey away from Beijing, Beijing was completely in chaos.

Due to the shortage of troops, the navy of the Ming army led by Cao Ming could only control the Forbidden City and Chaoyang Gate, and had no ability to intervene or control other places in Beijing.

Bumbutai ordered the defenders in Beijing to give up resistance and surrender to the Ming army in the form of the emperor's edict. Some people obeyed the order and prepared to surrender.However, many guards refused to carry out the edict and were ready to continue to resist. Those who planned to surrender and prepared to continue to resist fell into chaos.Those who wanted to surrender could not find the Ming army to accept them, and those who wanted to resist did not know where to attack.And this order of Bumbutai directly led to the complete collapse of the morale of the Jianshou defenders, deserters began to appear on a large scale, and scenes of burning, killing and looting on the streets also occurred frequently.

When the city of Beijing was in chaos, the Jiang Xiang and Jiang Rang brothers who captured Changping led the Yuan Ming Jiangjun, and they had already fought outside the city of Beijing.They didn't know the specifics of the situation in Beijing, but they knew that a Ming Guards had already attacked outside Beijing, and they might have broken through the Chaoyang Gate.They also want to perform well, and want to wash away the sins they bear with their military exploits.

Therefore, after they attacked outside Beijing, they quickly fought with Jiannu's rebellious army.

Inside and outside Beijing, it became more and more chaotic.
