Under the promotion of Dorgon, the Jiannu quickly reached a consensus on moving the capital.
Since the plan to move the capital had been in place for a long time, it was implemented very quickly.
All the soldiers and civilians in the city worked together to load all kinds of supplies that could be taken away onto horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts and transported them to Hetuala.
The place with the most things is the imperial city.
Nurhaci moved the capital to Shenyang in the fifth year of the Tianqi reign.
By the 24th year of Chongzhen, the Jiannu had been entrenched here for nearly 30 years.
The things that were smuggled and looted by force are so numerous that they are piled up like mountains.
"These are all top-quality porcelains, so be careful with them. These boxes are filled with books, which are not afraid of falling but afraid of water, so be sure to cover them with oilcloth."
"Take away everything that can be moved, and destroy or bury anything that cannot be moved."
Outside the east gate of the imperial city, Dorgon rode on a war horse to supervise the soldiers in carrying supplies.
Not long.
Fulin's carriage also left the imperial city under the protection of the guards, intending to pass through Fushun and head to Hetuala.
Upon seeing this, Dorgon immediately dismounted and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off."
"Wait a moment," the team stopped at the shout of the eunuch beside Fulin.
"The Emperor has ordered that Prince Rui come forward and respond," the eunuch delivered the message.
Dorgon did not dare to neglect it, and quickly stepped forward and knelt down and kowtowed again: "Your Majesty, I, Dorgon, pay my respects to you."
"Uncle, please stand up." Fulin said slowly, suppressing the resistance in his heart.
When Dorgon heard Fulin calling him uncle, he was stunned.
The eunuchs and guards around were also stunned.
Fulin himself found it a bit difficult to understand.
But as the situation developed to this point, he had to change the way he addressed Dorgon.
Before this, there were many people who could restrain Dorgon.
For example, Daishan, Duoduo, Jirgalang and Haoge.
pity...
Daishan is dead.
Tudor also died of smallpox.
After Jirgalang rebelled, he fled and his whereabouts remain unknown to this day.
Someone secretly told him that Jirgalang was dead, but Fulin didn't know whether to believe it.
After all, he was in the imperial city and knew nothing about the people and things outside.
Although Hauge regained power.
But he only controlled the Zhenglan Banner, which had suffered heavy losses and had few troops.
Unable to compete with Dorgon.
Man Dahai of the Zhenghong Banner intended to oppose Dorgon, but he was a man who took the overall situation into consideration.
The Qing Dynasty was at a critical juncture of life and death.
Internal strife at this time will not only fail to save the Qing Dynasty, but will also push the Qing Dynasty into an abyss of no return.
Except Hauge and Mandahai.
The remaining people had neither the strength nor the qualifications to confront Dorgon.
In order to have a good relationship with Dorgon, Fulin had to change his previous habit of calling Dorgon by his name.
"Uncle?" Seeing that Dorgon didn't speak, Fulin suppressed his nausea and shouted again.
"I am here. May I ask what the emperor wants me to do?" Dorgon, who had recovered from his shock, kowtowed hurriedly.
"I want to ask what will Shengjing look like after the capital is moved? What will the Imperial City look like?" Fulin looked at the walls of the Imperial City and asked reluctantly, "Will it become a ruin?"
"I will follow the emperor's orders." Dorgon's answer was flawless.
"What I mean is that before you leave, try not to set fire to the city, especially the imperial city! After all, it was built brick by brick by Emperor Taizu. It would be a shame to burn it down directly..." Fulin sighed.
"If we don't burn it, it will be equivalent to handing it over to the Ming army," Dorgon reminded.
"Will you never come back in this life?" Fulin frowned and asked, "You are a great general of the Qing Dynasty. You can't be so unconfident that you can take back Shengjing, right?"
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty obeys your order." Dorgon didn't know how to answer, so he could only agree.
Fulin's carriage set off again, heading towards Hetuala in a grand manner.
After Fulin's carriage left, Subai of the White Banner came to Dorgon and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to burn the house?"
"Don't burn the house, but take down all the doors and windows and burn them together." Dorgon was a little unsatisfied after saying this, and continued, "Don't forget to poison the well."
"I obey your command." Subai led his men into the imperial city and began "demolition".
Dorgon looked at Doni beside him.
Doni is Duoduo's eldest son. He was born in the ninth year of Chongzhen and is now fifteen years old.
After Duoduo's death, Dorgon temporarily took charge of the Bordered White Banner.
Doni was under Dorgon's command.
He must not be allowed to do dangerous things such as commanding in battle, charging into battle, etc.
So we could only assign him some non-dangerous work.
"Doni." Dorgon shouted.
"I am here." Donny urged his horse forward and answered in a childish voice.
"We are about to set off to return to Hetuala. In order to prevent the Ming army from chasing us, you should immediately lead people to the south bank of the Hun River to dig up the river bank that has not been dug before, and use the river water to stop the Ming army from advancing."
"I obey your command." Donny left with his troops.
Looking at Donny's leaving back, Dorgon suddenly felt emotional.
He has been competitive for half his life, but he doesn't have a son of his own.
In contrast, Tuduo had eight sons.
In order to continue the family line, Duoduo adopted one of his sons.
That is to say.
If one day he ascended the throne and became emperor, the crown prince would be Duoduo's son.
Everything I strive for is for Duoduo.
Is this fate?
"You're overthinking it!" Dorgon laughed at himself, waved his hand and called two trusted confidants to whisper something to them.
