"I have already changed the policy of remnant Ming to destroying Ming. This expedition is aimed at destroying Ming. Rao Yubeile Abatai." In the Manchu court, Huang Taiji suddenly issued this order.
"I'm here."
"I order you to be the general and lead an army of 100,000 people to detour to Mongolia and conquer the Ming Dynasty again."
Abatai was stunned: "You are asking me to be the coach?" He couldn't believe it.
Azig whispered from the side: "Your Majesty has ordered your general." Then he responded: "I obey your order."
Huang Taiji warned: "This expedition is a familiar one. You can break through from the Qiangziling area, sweep across the capital, and go straight to Jilu. You must avoid the peasant army. If you encounter them, treat them with courtesy and do not fight with them."
.”
"I obey the decree."
On that day, a grand banquet was held in the Dazheng Palace, and then the kings Baylor held a banquet every five days with great hospitality. Chapter 546: The Death of Huang Taiji (Part 2).
But Huang Taiji was most concerned about Wu Sangui. According to Ning Wanwo, there was less than a year before Jiashen destroyed the Ming Dynasty, and Wu Sangui must have a definite answer. Therefore, he summoned Zu Dashou many times and asked Wu Sangui
The situation there. One day at the end of October, Wu Sangui received a letter. Zu Dashou didn’t even open it, but presented it directly to Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji read: "Uncle, Sangui pays my respects again. My uncle is eager to see Sangui. Why doesn't Sangui want to reunite with his uncle as soon as possible? However, in recent days, rumors have spread in the capital, accusing me of accepting generous gifts from the Jurchens, secretly colluding with the Jurchens, and intending to rebel.
Wait. Chongzhen originally had a grudge against his nephew, but now he is even more suspicious. According to a letter from my father, the Ministry of War wants to transfer Sangui to the pass to suppress bandits. If there is such an order, Sangui's old father will have to go to the post in the capital. In this case, the plan will fail.
Come on. Sangui asked his uncle to tell the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty to quickly send troops to Ningyuan, so that his nephew can report to the Ministry of War to stabilize the court first, and then plan for it slowly."
Huang Taiji pondered: "It seems that Wu Sangui does intend to surrender, but he is just burdened by his old father. Wu Sangui cannot leave, and Zu Dashou's nephew is the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan. Is there anyone better connected than this? If it were replaced by someone else
, everything will start from scratch again.”
He handed the letter to Zu Dashudao Chapter 546: The Death of Huang Taiji (Part 2): "Come and take a look."
After Zu Dashou finished reading, he raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, Wu Sangui can't leave, we can't waste all our efforts."
"What Zu Chengzheng said is exactly what I meant. I immediately sent Duoduo to lead his troops to attack Ningyuan, so that Wu Sangui could securely sit on the Diaoyutai of Ningyuan."
It was almost three o'clock when Zu Dashou left Qingning Palace, and Zhezhe said: "The emperor's health has just improved, but he is so tired, so he should be more careful."
Huang Taiji sighed: "It's the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month now, and the Renwu Year is about to pass. As Ning Wanwo said, there are still one year and ten days before the Jiashen Year, but many things have not been decided yet. I am anxious.
.”
Huang Taiji fell ill again on the first day of the Lunar New Year in the eighth year of Chongde in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The annual New Year Ceremony had to be stopped. Being sick on the first day of the Lunar New Year was really an ominous sign. Queen Zhezhe and
Daishan discussed: "Second brother, the emperor's health is getting worse and worse. When he is a little better, he doesn't work in vain. The first day of the new year should be a day for everyone to celebrate, but the emperor fell ill, which is worrying.
Disturbing. Your Majesty believed those Han ministers who advocated saying nothing but using strange power to confuse the gods, but you still don’t see your Majesty getting better. I think we should ask the gods for protection this time."
Daishan said: "What the Queen said is very true. I don't think it is worse than this. This afternoon, I led all the brothers to the hall to worship and pray. The Queen asked a shaman to see if there was something that happened on the New Year's Eve. Please ask the shaman. We cannot let the Emperor know about Man Man."
So the two of them acted separately, and Zhezhe invited the shaman to Prince Su's palace. Hauge was also worried about Huang Ama's illness, and immediately ordered his family to prepare sacrifices and offer sacrifices on the table.
The shaman beat the sacred drum and danced. He muttered words and the copper bell around his waist rattled. He danced for two full seconds. When the drum stopped and stopped dancing, his whole body shook violently.
The gods were invited. To everyone's surprise, the ones invited were not the Eagle God, the Tiger God, the Yellow Fairy, or the Fox Fairy, but Concubine Chen.
I heard the shaman cry: "Aunt, I am Hai Lanzhu. Hai Lanzhu has a hard life. I married the emperor when I was twenty-six years old. I fell in love with the emperor. I expected to grow old together. Who thought we were separated halfway? Now I am
Alone and helpless, I miss the Emperor so much."
When everyone heard that the shaman's voice was exactly the same as that of Concubine Chen, it was clearly Concubine Chen who was speaking. They were so frightened that they all knelt down and kowtowed. Zhezhe was also very surprised, but she knew that Hailanzhu was borrowing the shaman's name.
Possessed by his body, he advised: "Hai Lanzhu, my aunt knows that you are suffering, but since you have left the world of the underworld, you must abide by the rules of the underworld, wait patiently for a few years, find a good family, and be reincarnated.
What's the use of thinking about the Emperor so sadly?"
Hauge was furious. No wonder Emperor Ama was always sick. It turned out that he called you Tamba. He pulled out his sword with a snap: "Hai Lanzhu, you are so bold. Since you have become a ghost, why do you always have nightmares?"
"Looking at the emperor, the emperor's dragon body is related to the fate of the Qing Dynasty. If you become a monster, I will kill you with a knife." After saying this, he put the knife on the shaman's neck. The shaman screamed and fainted on the ground.
.Everyone was stunned and stared at the shaman lying on the ground. After a long while, the shaman gradually woke up. The first words he said when he woke up were: "Gone, gone." Then,
His speech also returned to his original voice.
Zhezhe asked: "In the Immortal Family, Concubine Chen's soul is still lingering. What should we do?"
"Please rest assured, the Queen, Concubine Chen said she will not come again. It is best to be buried in peace, Concubine Chen should be buried as soon as possible."
Zhezhe was shocked. He was really an immortal family. He even knew that Hai Lanzhu was not buried. She responded: "The emperor means that the spirit should be suspended for three years. Since the immortal family has something to say, the Ai family will definitely convince the emperor."
After Zhezhe's repeated persuasion, Huang Taiji agreed to bury Hai Lanzhu.
Soon, Abatai sent a battle report: On November 5, the seventh year of Chongde, I entered the pass from Jielingkou and Huangyakou near Yanmen Pass. Although the Ming army took strict precautions at each pass, they were unable to defeat them.
Attack. Our eight-banner army conquered Bazhou, Hejian, Yongqing, and Hengshui, then entered Shandong, defeated Linqing, Yanzhou, Dengzhou, etc., and captured Zhu Yipai, king of Minglu, Zhu Hongzhi, king of Leling, and Zhu Zhu, king of Dongyuan.
Yiyuan and more than a thousand people from the royal clans conquered three prefectures, eighteen states, sixty-seven counties, and eighty-eight towns, and obtained twelve thousand two hundred and fifty taels of gold and two hundred and twenty-five thousand silver.
Two hundred and seventy taels, 4,440 pearls, 52,230 pieces of silk and satin of various colors, 13,840 taels of satin and fur clothes, and a captive population of 369,000
.I have returned to Miyun now and will be able to return to Beijing in one month."
Huang Taiji was extremely happy: "Abatai is really one of my five tiger generals. This time he entered the customs and achieved brilliant results, I will definitely reward him heavily."
Huang Taiji found that there was something else in the memorial, which looked like a Ming Dynasty imperial newspaper, so he opened it and saw: At the end of February, the rebel Li Zicheng changed Xiangyang to Changyi Prefecture, proclaimed himself the Civil and Military Marshal of Advocacy, and named Niu Jinxing as
The prime minister has six governments: officials, households, rites, soldiers, punishments, and workers. There are defense envoys, governors, state shepherds, etc. in various places, just like a royal court. It is said that the rebel Zhang Xianzhong is also planning and will soon establish this.
The news is so exciting. Huang Taiji has never smiled happily since he fell ill in March of the seventh year of Chongde. Now, he smiles: "Everything is under my control. This is the real sea."
When the current flows horizontally, Jia Shen destroys the Ming Dynasty. I would rather be finished than I am lying."
In June, Abatai's army returned, and Huang Taiji ordered Prince Zheng Jierhalang, Prince Rui Dorgon, and Prince Wuying Azige to come out to meet him.
Li Zicheng has established a small court in Xiangyang, and Zhang Xianzhong will not be content to be second to him. He must have proclaimed himself king and emperor now. Li and Zhang are no longer the thieves they used to be, but they want to take the Ming Dynasty and replace them.
I said that there must be a decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and the peasant army. Looking at it now, this decisive battle is right in front of us. With the military strength of the Qing Dynasty, it is easy to defeat the peasant army, but the conquest of the people's hearts is much more difficult than the conquest of force. Back then,
, the reason why we were able to gain a foothold in Liaodong is because we finally won the hearts and minds of the people, and we gave the people of Liaodong a chance to live. We are about to advance into the Central Plains, and whether we can gain a foothold in the Central Plains depends on whether we can finally win the hearts and minds of the people in the Central Plains.
Especially for winning the hearts of scholars, Rao Yubeile has made a good start this time, and I want to praise him. I haven't drank for a long time, and I am happy today. Come on, Rao Yubeile, I will make an exception today, and I will toast you a drink."
Abatai's hardships in the battle for more than a year were completely forgotten by the emperor's words. He raised his glass with some embarrassment: "Thank you, Your Majesty." He raised his neck and drank a large glass of wine.
In the fifth expedition to the Ming Dynasty, Abatai received a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, and other soldiers also received very generous rewards.
News of the fifth triumphant victory over the Ming Dynasty spread to Mongolia and North Korea, and they both sent envoys to congratulate them. Since Huang Taiji handed over daily government affairs and only attended banquets and receptions every day, he was much more relaxed than before. He was in very good health and looked at him coldly.
When he left, his face was red and his face was full of energy, and all the civil and military officials in the court were delighted with him.
What makes Huang Taiji even more happy is that his fifth daughter Atu Gege is about to get married. Atu is twelve years old and is the second daughter of Concubine Zhuang. She is as beautiful as a flower and jade, and Huang Taiji regards her as the apple of his eye.
Two years ago, she had made a lifelong commitment to Engelder's son Solha. The wedding was scheduled to be held on the eighth day of August. On this day, Huang Taiji led the Queen, Zhuang Concubine and other concubines in the harem to celebrate Atu and Solha in the Dazheng Palace.
A grand ceremony was held to confer the title of Guzhu and Prince Consort. King Baylor, various tribes in Mongolia, and the state of Korea each had their own contributions. Needless to say, the scene was grand.
That night, Huang Taiji rested in Yongfu Palace. The bustle of the day passed, and the night suddenly felt deserted. Huang Taiji sat quietly in front of the lamp and said with emotion: "Attu is already married, how can I not grow old? There is really no banquet in the world that never ends."
Concubine Zhuang heard that something was not right, so she advised: "Your Majesty, Atu is in the city. He can come back to the palace to see the Emperor at any time. If there is anything to do, please relax, Your Majesty." She handed over a thick book.
Gift account: "This is the gift list recorded by the Internal Affairs Office. Your Majesty, please take a look."
Huang Taiji took it and turned it over casually. Suddenly, he was stunned. He saw that Prince Baylor's list included a pair of golden saddles. Golden saddle? What kind of golden saddle? Could it be a saddle inlaid with gold? He asked Concubine Zhuang: "
Have you seen the golden saddle?"
"I've seen it before. It's very beautiful. The saddle, saddle bridge, and saddle nails are all made of gold."
Huang Taiji's expression changed, and he threw the gift list onto the kang with a bang: "This is an act of overstepping the rules. I and Da Beile can use the golden saddle, how can others abuse it? If this wind spreads, all the princes, Beile, Beizi
, all the ministers will follow suit and stop making trouble?" He ordered the guards: "Go to Solha's father-in-law immediately and get those golden saddles, I want to see them."
Concubine Zhuang panicked, and she hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, how can I ask for the dowry things back? Besides, today is Atu's night of flowers and candles. Your Majesty, let's calm down for now and talk about it tomorrow."
Huang Taiji sighed and said: "This is the only time in my daughter's life. I can't be too unkind, but this matter is related to the atmosphere of the Qing Dynasty and the public, so we can wait until tomorrow."
The court meeting on August 9th lasted until noon. During the court meeting, Huang Taiji generously rewarded the envoys of various ministries, especially the Tumote tribe who introduced Tibetan envoys to the court. In the afternoon, he ordered Ah
Jige, Dorgon, their nephews, and their grandnephews arrived at the Qingning Palace. Entering the palace, they found a row of gleaming saddles on the edge of the south Kang, and immediately recognized them as the gifts they had given yesterday.
, several people looked at each other and felt something bad, fearing that they would be reprimanded again. Then they heard the emperor say: "Here we come, please sit down."
Several people sat down uneasily.
"Are these saddles yours?"
He stood up and responded: "Yes, it belongs to us and has been given to Princess Gulen Atu."
Huang Taiji said angrily: "You are so rich, you even use gold as a saddle, I am really happy to see you."
Azige said: "Your Majesty, my brothers, and others believe that Atuge is the noble one. When you get married, you should have a golden saddle to match it. Otherwise, how can you show your dignity? We made the custom order after careful consideration."
Huang Taiji asked: "How many pairs have you customized?"
"Two pairs per person."
"So I gave one to Atu, and each of you kept one?"
Several people responded in unison: "Yes."
"Huh, it's quite scheming. Do you think you can stop me with this?" He glared at Dorgon fiercely. Dorgon didn't dare to look at him and lowered his head.
Huang Taiji looked up to the sky and sighed: "Is our Qing Dynasty really rich and powerful? So rich that we use gold as a saddle? You all know Zhu Changxun, the blessed king of Luoyang in the Ming Dynasty. He has a golden saddle, but whose mount is it now?
What about Li Zicheng? When Li Zicheng attacked Luoyang, Zhu Changxun was extremely rich, but the soldiers guarding the city couldn't even eat enough to eat. He didn't even get a cent. What happened? They all rebelled against their relatives and became Li Zicheng's prisoner. Li Zicheng took the deer meat with him
He cooked it and ate it, with King Fu's meat and venison added, which the rebels called the Fulu Banquet. Even if he had given one-tenth of his possessions to the soldiers guarding the city, he would not have ended up like this. On the day the city was broken, only
Pearl pulled two large carriages. All the things used in daily life are made of gold, and they are not all prepared for Li Zicheng. I have no objection to your enjoyment. You are the prince Baylor of the Qing Dynasty, but you must be restrained. Today you use gold
As a saddle, tomorrow you can use gold as armor. What about in the future? Learn from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and build a golden house to hide Gillian? What goes up will work, and the people below will imitate it, and the trend of corruption will be rampant."
He walked up to several people and said earnestly and sincerely: "We came out of the mountains. Although we are noble people, we are still in the minority. To control the crowd with a small number, the most important thing is to win the hearts and minds of the people. You can't imagine the difficulties that the late emperor had to start his business back then.
But you didn't catch up, Azig and Haoge caught up. Now you have become Prince Baylor, with a millionaires, a group of Aha, and you are very rich, but you can't forget about it, and you have to visit it often.
, see if there is anyone who has nothing to eat or clothes to wear, whether there is anyone who cannot marry a woman, and whether there is anyone who is starving to death. If you go down there and show yourself to your subordinates, they will be more honest, and the common people will call you Mr. Qingtian.
.No matter how expensive a saddle is, what will happen to it? If everyone really rebels and abandons their relatives, who will own the saddle? Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong?
Brothers and nephews, we are about to take over the Central Plains, and a more complicated situation is yet to come. Do not indulge at any time, remember to abstain from sexual immorality, and learn from it. Always think about it, and be prepared for danger in times of peace. I hope you will all
You can become the pillar of the Qing Dynasty. My second brother is now sixty-two and I am fifty-two. Moreover, in the past few years, I have often been plagued by illness. The Qing Dynasty depends entirely on you. You must have the people and the country in your hearts.
, then you will always have yourself.”
Huang Taiji's sincere words moved them, and Dorgon knelt down and said, "I realize that I was wrong. We will definitely remember the emperor's teachings and always be prepared for danger in times of peace."
Huang Taiji said: "It seems that all my thoughts have been in vain. You can go back. Remember, come to Qingning Palace tomorrow night. I will ask Wen Cheng to tell you "Ten Thoughts on Remonstrance to Emperor Taizong" first.
After Dorgon and others left, Huang Taiji felt depressed. He wanted to find someone to talk to, so he ordered his guard to say: "Go and invite Mr. Wen Cheng."
He sat at the Kang table and picked up Zu Dashou's memorial, one of which wrote: "I think that in order to break through Shanhaiguan, we should first take the five cities in front of the pass: Ningyuan, Zhongyousuo, Zhongqiansuo, Zhonghousuo, and Qiangwei.
, I know the strength of these five cities in detail. Although Wu Sangui's old father is in the capital, his family members are in the middle and rear areas. They should be taken first. If Wu Sangui's family members are captured by me, I am not afraid that Sangui will not surrender. Once Sangui surrenders,
, Ningyuan will be surrendered immediately, and the other three cities can be conquered in one fell swoop.
"It is a good idea to take over Wu Sangui's family. You can give it a try. Zu Dashou will still be useful in pacifying the Central Plains in the future. If you find an opportunity to transfer him to the Ministry of War, he will be able to make full use of his talents."
As he continued to look down, he felt "fooled", his blood surged up, and he didn't know anything anymore.
Fan Wencheng walked into the Qingning Palace and saw the emperor leaning on a high pillow to read the memorial. He went forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Fan Wencheng, kowtows to the emperor."
In the past, the emperor would have immediately ordered the guards to watch his seat, but this time there was no movement. Fan Wencheng felt a little strange, so he knelt down again and said: "Your Majesty, Fan Wencheng, kowtow to the emperor." Before the emperor responded, Fan Wencheng raised his head and saw the emperor.
His eyes were slightly closed and he was motionless. He thought he was asleep, so he said to the female official: "The emperor is asleep. Please help the emperor to Dongnuan Pavilion quickly."
The two female officials knelt on the kang and supported Huang Taiji. They found that the emperor's head was drooping and his saliva was drooling. When they supported his arms, they felt a little stiff and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come to the room to rest."
"
The emperor had no reaction. Fan Wencheng suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He put his hand to the emperor's nostrils, but couldn't feel his breath. He shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Huang Taiji still didn't respond. The two female officials saw that the emperor had stopped breathing and screamed: "Your Majesty!"
This scream was very sharp. The Queen and Concubine Zhuang were in Dongnuang Pavilion preparing for Atuge to return home after three days. When they heard the scream, they hurriedly ran out. Search on Baidu, and you can download this book.
At this time, Fan Wencheng grabbed the emperor's arm and felt for his pulse. After checking for a long time, there was still a trace of pulse. Fan Wencheng's head banged, he sat down on the ground, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
On the night of the ninth day of August in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty and the eighth year of Chongde in the Manchu and Qing dynasties, Tai Chi, the pseudo-emperor of the Qing Dynasty, finally ended his life.!!!
