That night, the whole city of Shenyang was under curfew.
No one is allowed to go out or leave the city. Anyone who leaves the city without orders will be killed without mercy.
Yue Tuo went crazy.
After capturing Du Du and handing it over to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation, he led his troops to attack the Zhenglan Banner camp and immediately attacked Mang Gurtai's mansion.
As a result, all Mang Gurtai's family members were present, including his Fujin.
Only all the sons of Mang Gurtai were missing.
Seeing this scene, Yue Tuo felt cold all over.
This shows that Mang Gurtai had planned for a long time and had already made plans to abandon his family.
The devastated Yue Tuo had no choice but to order all Zhenglan Banners to be taken into custody, and then return to recover.
He didn't see Huang Taiji.
Because Huang Taiji fainted again, the royal doctors in the palace were doing their best to treat him.
Before Huang Taiji fainted, he ordered Jierhalang to take charge of the affairs.
This appointment is full of profound meaning.
Ji'erharang and Huang Taiji had a close relationship and were close confidants. But Ji'erharang was the son of Shuerhaqi and the younger brother of Amin, so even if he had great power, he could not seek power and usurp the throne.
As for Daishan, Huang Taiji did not explain a word.
But Daishan went back to the mansion alone, staying behind closed doors and seeing no one.
Obviously, this is to prove one's innocence.
At the same time, Dorgon and Duduo all stayed in the palace.
In name, he was protecting Huang Taiji, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was just imprisonment.
If Huang Taiji turns the corner, the Dorgon brothers will also be safe. Otherwise, the two brothers will never be able to leave the palace again.
The entire city defense of Shenyang was left to Hauge alone.
If there is any disharmony, Hauge can immediately isolate the inside and outside and inherit the throne.
Huang Taiji is truly a hero of his generation, he arranged everything in a hurry.
Jierhalang greeted Yue Tuo without saying much, but every word was fatal.
"How dare you forget what the Great Khan said?"
Yue Tuo was shocked, and then he realized that he had made a mistake. Without saying a word, he went out of the palace, ordered all the people under the red flag, and left Shenyang to pursue Mang Gurtai.
It no longer matters whether Mang Gurtai can be caught. At this moment, he cannot stay in the city.
To stay is to die.
There is only one official road from Shenyang to Kaiyuan. Because the road is blocked by heavy snow, it is very difficult to walk.
Mang Gurtai did not think that their group could successfully reach Kaiyuan and join Mang Gurtai.
But since setting off from Shenyang, he has frequently raised eyebrows along the way.
North of Shenyang, there were two guard posts in Houjin, namely Tieling Guard and Liaohai Guard, with more than a thousand troops stationed in each.
The reason why there are so few is because after unifying the Jurchens, Hou Jin did not think there was any threat from the north.
Mere savages, Jurchens, and barbarians could only come and plunder, but they no longer posed much of a threat.
On the contrary, those savage Jurchens still had to worry about Hou Jin going to arrest them.
In addition to Tieling Guard and Liaohai Guard, there are more than a dozen castles along the way. Although there are only a few soldiers and horses stationed there, they are stuck on the main road and it is very troublesome to pass.
But what surprised Mang Gurtai was that the person who led the way seemed to be born with a clairvoyance. Every time he approached each castle, he could always find a less traveled path and lead them around.
Not only that, every time they walked more than fifty miles, someone would be waiting for them with hot food ready. As a result, the journey was very hard, but not very tiring.
"Dog slave..."
Before he finished speaking, the leading Han man came over with a dangerous look.
Mang Gurtai had been fighting on the battlefield all his life, killing people without any calculation, but he was so stunned that he was trembling all over after seeing this look.
"Sanbeile, remember. We are a cooperative relationship. If you lose your sense of proportion, you will be responsible for all the consequences."
Poor Mang Gurtai dared to argue in the face of Huang Taiji, but at this moment he could only hold back his anger.
Just looking at the desolation around him, he knew that, not to mention whether he could defeat this group of Han people, he...
There is no going back.
"Liang...Mr. Liang, why didn't you go to the Southern Dynasties instead of looking for my sister? The Aohan tribe is very small and cannot stop Huang Taiji's conquest. It will also kill my sister."
The group of Han Chinese who responded to them were naturally affiliated with the Intelligence Department, and the leader introduced himself as Liang Fa.
As for whether it is his real name, other than himself, even his companions don't know.
Liang Fa explained this point very well.
"Sanbeile, the conflict between you and Huang Taiji is an internal matter of your family. Huang Taiji is the Great Khan, so there should still be many people who sympathize with you. But once you defect to the Southern Dynasties, it means that you have betrayed your tribe.
At that time, even those who sympathize with you will hate you to the core. No matter what, you will not be recognized by your tribe. But when you go north, you are just fleeing to avoid the persecution of Huang Taiji. So in the eyes of the Jurchens
, you will still be one of their tribesmen. One day, once you gain power, you will be able to respond to everything at once."
Mang Gurtai was a little confused. Such complicated twists and turns were obviously not something he could understand.
He was still worried about his current situation.
"Sonomu is a coward. He doesn't dare to resist Huang Taiji at all. If we go there like this, if he catches us, won't we be dead?"
Liang Fa laughed loudly.
"Sonomu? He'd better ask for his own blessings."
Mang Gurtai didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, but he had to run for his life and it was too late to ask.
We drove slowly and hurriedly along the way, covered in wind and snow. Two days later, Kaiyuan was finally in sight.
Just when a group of people arrived at the city, the city gate opened.
I saw Mang Guji leading the way, accompanied by Leng Sengji and Wu Jiang, who actually came out to greet them.
Not seeing Sonomu, Mang Gurtai was very nervous.
"Where's my brother-in-law?"
Mangguji's face looked very ugly.
"Dead."
Mang Gurtai was shocked.
"How did he die?"
Wu Jiang and Liang Fa exchanged glances and told the truth.
"Sonomu is going to report us to Huang Taiji, so naturally we can't stay."
Even though the Aohan tribe surrendered late to the Jin Dynasty, Sonomu was extremely loyal to Huang Taiji.
In the original history, when Mang Guji and others were found to have rebelled, in addition to Leng Sengji's informant, Sonomu also hinted at Huang Taiji.
Two days ago, Leng Sengji and Wu General returned from Shenyang and received special attention from the Aohan tribe.
"The Great Khan accepted our contribution and praised our Aohan tribe as good friends of Daijin. Not only that, the Great Khan also gave us generous gifts and asked us to give them to Taiji. I think it is better to have a banquet
, celebrate this.”
The Aohan tribe, starting from Sonomu, were all extremely happy.
That night, a grand banquet was held in Aobao, and all the princes and nobles of the Aohan tribe were present.
Wu General took out the exquisite porcelain bottle from the box and said: "The Great Khan knows that my Aohan tribe is loyal, so he specially gave me fine wine. I will drink this wine today to express my gratitude to the Great Khan for his kindness."
Drinks as clear as jade were poured into the wine glasses, causing the princes of Aohan to swallow their saliva.
During the Jisi Rebellion, they followed Hou Jin into the Ming Dynasty and plundered wantonly, and indeed they robbed many good things, including countless fine wines.
But there was no comparison with the jade liquid in front of them, which made the princes believe that Huang Taiji really trusted them.
Sonomu picked up the wine glass.
"From now on, I, Aohan, will follow Tian Khan and I will be rich and noble forever."
All the princes echoed in unison.
"Wealth lasts forever."
After that, everyone couldn't bear it for a moment and poured the wine down their throats.
Wu Jiang didn't drink. Leng Sengji saw that he didn't drink, so he didn't drink either.
Not only did he not drink, he also raised his hand to stop Mangguji, causing Mangguji to glare inexplicably.
But soon, seeing all the princes rolling on the ground with their bellies in their arms, Mang Guji was shaking like chaff and couldn't help but feel lucky to have escaped.
General Wu did not move, clapped his hands, and a group of Han people rushed in from outside the tent.
The sharp blade cut through everything, and the thick smell of blood quickly suppressed the delicious aroma of the wine.
