After realizing that he would be dismembered like Xiang Yu, Dorgon began to get scared.
For Dorgon.
He is not afraid of death.
As the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the demise of the country was inevitable.
The whole process will be recorded in history books.
He died with dignity, and the Qing Dynasty also died with dignity.
He died in an inglorious way, and the Qing Dynasty also fell in an inglorious way.
He wanted the Qing Dynasty to end in a more dignified manner.
Dorgon pleaded with Li Xianzhong and Li Dingguo: "I am the emperor of the Qing Dynasty after all. Can you let me die with dignity?"
Li Xianzhong shook his head heavily.
Dorgon had no choice but to look at Li Dingguo.
Li Dingguo held a knife in his right hand and pointed at Dorgon's nose with his left hand: "Dorgon, do you want to die in a dignified way?"
Dorgon nodded: "Yes."
"Then have you ever let those people die with dignity?"
Dorgon was stunned by the question: "Those people? Who are they?"
Li Dingguo looked up at the sky, his eyes firm and sad: "In the second year of my reign, you followed Huang Taiji into the pass from Xifengkou to plunder. You killed hundreds of thousands of our soldiers and civilians, and took away more than 100,000 civilians, with countless gold and silver."
"In the seventh year of my reign, you followed Huang Taiji into the country from Xuanfu and Datong again, burning houses, killing people, robbing money and food, and taking away livestock. You did all kinds of evil!"
"In the eleventh year of our dynasty, you and Yuetuo invaded from Qiangziling and Qingshanguan respectively, looting more than 300,000 civilians, more than 200,000 livestock, and more than one million taels of gold and silver! In addition, you massacred the city of Jinan, and after the war, there were 130,000 corpses found in the city!"
"In the seventeenth year of my dynasty, you entered the pass again to plunder! Although you were defeated at the Wenyu River, you later joined forces with Duoduo in Shandong, where you raped, plundered, and committed all kinds of evil deeds."
"In the past twenty years, you have directly or indirectly killed millions of people. Have you ever shown mercy to them? Have you ever let them die with dignity?"
Dorgon was speechless for a moment and could only shake his head and sigh.
Li Dingguo continued, "In addition, you also staged a self-torture trick with the Duke of Yansheng in Qufu and took away one million taels of silver."
"Wait a minute," Dorgon stretched out his hand to signal Li Dingguo to stop, and hurriedly said, "I admit to killing people, looting civilians, and robbing livestock and money and grain. But I had no knowledge of the incident involving the Duke of Qufu, and I did not do it."
Once the news of Duke Yansheng's treason and aiding the enemy was exposed, it spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.
Dorgon also received this news through various channels.
It was a critical moment in the Battle of Sarhu and he had no time to take care of this matter.
Now that Li Dingguo has brought up the matter again, he is determined to seek justice for himself and the Qing Dynasty at all costs.
You can admit what you have done, but you must not admit what you have not done.
Li Dingguo snorted coldly: "Dorgon, you are still stubborn even when you are about to die, right?"
Dorgon was anxious: "I, Dorgon, swear to heaven that I have never asked for money or food from the Yanshenggong Mansion. If I did, it must be a false accusation."
"Shut up," Li Dingguo said impatiently, "Your oath is worthless!"
Dorgon wanted to refute, but found that there was really nothing to refute.
He swore an oath to Hauge, but then betrayed it.
"Alas!" Dorgon sighed to the sky: "Since you don't want me to die with dignity, then I can only die with dignity myself."
After saying that.
He picked up the knife and pointed the blade at himself.
The surrounding Ming troops immediately became alert and narrowed the encirclement under the command of Li Dingguo and Li Xianzhong.
The few remaining personal soldiers behind Dorgon rushed forward with swords drawn.
In just one encounter, he was hacked to death by countless Ming soldiers.
Dorgon looked up at the sky again, feeling extremely sad: "I am ashamed of my ancestors!"
After saying this, he pointed the blade at his neck and slashed it hard.
The sharp blade easily cut off his fragile neck.
Under the sunset.
Blood gushed out like fireworks, bloody and dazzling.
As blood flowed out, Dorgon's consciousness began to blur.
At this moment, he thought of many people.
He thought of his father Nurhaci.
I thought of my brothers Ajige and Duoduo.
I thought of Huang Taiji and Haoge.
On his deathbed, he thought of Bumbutai and his family again.
They followed Sony on a boat into the sea to meet him at Jeju Island.
Little did he know that he had already gone to meet his father and brother first.
Before he completely lost consciousness, Dorgon sighed again: "My Qing Dynasty has finally perished..."
at the same time.
Countless Ming troops rushed up.
Instead of finishing off Dorgon, they surrounded him.
A deputy general stepped forward, checked Dorgon's breath, and then took his pulse.
Then he reported loudly: "Your Excellencies, the leader of the captives, Dorgon, is dead."
Li Dingguo and Li Xianzhong dismounted from their horses and came to Dorgon's body one after another.
From the perspective of family feud and national hatred, they hated Dorgon to the core.
Putting all this aside, they were deeply saddened by Dorgon's death.
The fact that Dorgon was able to hold out for such a long time with his remnant troops was due to both Chongzhen's deliberate connivance and Dorgon's own ability.
Li Dingguo asked first: "What should we do?"
Li Xianzhong was a little confused: "What should I do?"
Li Dingguo pointed at the body on the ground and said, "Of course it's this one."
"The credit is equally shared."
"The credit can be shared equally, but what about the body?"
Li Xianzhong thought for a moment and said, "The body and the merit go together. Since the merit is divided equally, the body should also be divided equally."
"Uh..." Li Dingguo pondered for a long time, "How to divide it? Up and down or left and right?"
