News of the fall of Daming Mansion soon spread to Beijing.
"Crack!"
A cup was thrown to the ground by Dorgon, with a strong look of anger on his face.
"What are Balusi and Abahai doing??? Daming Mansion was captured in one day???"
At this time, Dorgon's face became very ugly!
"And it was actually captured by the completely unknown Second Guards Army! An army of more than 10,000 people! Daming Mansion was actually captured! What a joke! This is simply a big joke!"
Dorgon's eyes showed an angry look.
At this time, the civil and military ministers around me looked at me and I looked at you, with hesitation in their eyes, but no one dared to speak.
Hong Chengchou next to him hesitated for a moment, stood up, saluted Dorgon in front of him and said: "Your Majesty! Listening to our spies' report, it seems that the Second Guards Army has been planned for a long time and used.
It was an explosive siege! Our soldiers around us heard a shocking explosion! This explosion killed many of our soldiers.
Moreover, a section of the city wall was blown down! All the soldiers of the Second Guards Army rushed into the city and killed the two generals. The soldiers below them were leaderless, so they were..."
"It's all excuses!"
Dorgon had an angry look in his eyes.
"These two idiots! Waste! Waste!"
There was strong anger in Dorgon's eyes.
"Daming Mansion is an important place and cannot be lost! It is the gateway to our southwest! If Daming Mansion is lost, the places we enter Henan will probably be lost too! Who can lead troops to help me take back Daming Mansion?"
As he spoke, Dorgon calmed down the anger in his heart slightly and glanced at the courtiers around him.
The people around me looked at me and I looked at you, with hesitation in their eyes.
When Kong Youde originally wanted to come forward, he suddenly thought of Song Yi's previous investigation of him. This was entirely done by Dorgon himself.
Therefore, Kong Youde, who originally wanted to come forward, fell silent and did not choose to come forward.
Hong Chengchou glanced at the silent Kong Youde in front of him and felt helpless for a moment. He knew that Kong Youde must still be angry because of what happened before.
But you can’t stand up to your boss like that!
A wry smile flashed in Hong Chengchou's eyes.
no way!
"My lord is willing to go!"
Hong Chengchou stood up at this time. He knew very well that if he didn't stand up now, then Dorgon would be more and more suspicious of Han officials like him!
At that time, it is very likely that it will fall into an uncontrollable situation!
Hong Chengchou didn't want to see such a scene happen, so at this time, he had to stand up. If he didn't stand up, he would be in trouble!
Dorgon's face relaxed slightly when he saw Hong Chengchou standing up.
He calmly said to Hong Chengchou in front of him: "I will give you three thousand cavalry and thirty thousand infantry. I will give you ten days to capture Daming Mansion. Is there any problem?"
"No!"
Hong Chengchou had a look of helplessness in his eyes. What else could he say at this time?
"very good!"
Dorgon glanced at Hong Chengchou with satisfaction. He was indeed the most obedient dog here!
With such an obedient and good dog, everything I have to do becomes much easier!
"You can choose a few lieutenants! Set off as soon as possible!"
Dorgon said to Hong Chengchou in front of him.
"Yes! Your Highness the Regent!"
Hong Chengchou didn't say much.
After the next court session.
Hong Chengchou directly found Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong and Kong Youde.
"Give me your craftsmen who are most familiar with gunpowder!"
Hong Chengchou said to the three people in front of him with a serious face.
“What do you want a craftsman to do??”
Several people were stunned for a moment, looking at Hong Chengchou in front of them with confusion in their eyes.
"Of course, treat the person in his own way!"
Hong Chengchou glanced at the three people in front of him and said: "Since the Ming army can use gunpowder to blow us up, we can also use gunpowder to blow them up! These things are all mutual! Aren't they?"
After hearing Hong Chengchou's words, Kong Youde pondered for a moment, looked at the people in front of him, and then looked around, then slowly said: "Brother Hong, you really want to help Dorgon!
It feels like the regent is becoming more and more suspicious of us Han ministers now!"
"good!"
Shang Kexi looked helpless in his eyes and said to Hong Chengchou in front of him: "It was fine before, but since arriving in Beijing, the regent has become more and more suspicious of us Han ministers. This suspicion is really...
…”
Shang Ke has not said all the good things.
Geng Jingzhong next to him nodded in agreement.
Hearing the words of the three people, a trace of sigh flashed in Hong Chengchou's eyes. He looked at the three people in front of him and said, "So what? Why is the regent jealous of us Han ministers? Don't you have any doubts in your hearts?"
Is it clear? It’s not because after arriving in the capital, too much news about us was leaked.
There is even such a big hole in the city of Beijing, and Hauge was able to directly enter the capital! If you, the Han officials, are all loyal to the regent, would you believe it?"
Hong Chengchou shrugged, with a look of helplessness on his face, and said to the three people in front of him.
The three people in front of them shook their heads, with helpless expressions on their faces.
"In our current situation, we should repair the trust the regent has in us! Do things well, the regent still needs us to do things!"
Hong Chengchou looked at the three people in front of him seriously and said.
"Yes! I will send you three craftsmen who are best at gunpowder later!"
"It's the same with me, two gunpowder craftsmen!"
"Me too! Three of you!"
"Thank you very much, brothers!"
Upon hearing the words of the three people in front of him, Hong Chengchou suddenly smiled in his eyes.
If gunpowder can blast open the city wall of Daming Mansion, since it can blast it once, it may be able to blast it a second time! As long as it can blast the city wall, Daming Mansion will never be able to withstand its own attack!
With that said, Hong Chengchou said goodbye to the three people in front of him.
That night, Hong Chengchou began to quickly pack his things and prepare for the expedition.
Something happened in the capital.
“Where did this come from???”
Dorgon's eyes were full of anger at this time, and he asked Song Yi almost roaring at the side.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
With a panic look on his face, Song Yi knelt down towards Dorgon in front of him.
"This was found in the capital. Now it is everywhere... Your Majesty..."
