"Your humble servant pays respect to Prince Rui!"
After Dorgon finished discussing with Dodo, Oboi, Tulai and others came up to him and paid their respects.
"No need to be polite."
Dorgon smiled bitterly, feeling helpless and reluctant to be called Prince Rui.
Because after returning to Shengjing, he is no longer Prince Rui!
"Uncle Prince Rui, Uncle Prince Ten!" Haoge finally walked over and saluted the two of them.
After seeing Hauge, Dorgon felt even more depressed.
He had a very unpleasant fight with Hauge when he was competing for the throne. Now that he was defeated and had lost his power, he was afraid that he would be defeated by Hauge.
Hauge did not care about Dorgon's face and asked directly: "Uncle Prince Rui, why did we fail in this invasion? What are the losses?"
Duoduo stepped forward very consciously and revealed the detailed information of Dorgon's defeat and the next plan.
Hauge, Aobai, Tulai and others first felt sad for a while about the death of Ajige Ebilun, and then began to seriously think about the plan.
Aobai was the first to speak: "Prince Rui, Lord Ten, Prince Su, I have a favor to ask of you."
"Tell me about it." Duoduo answered before Dorgon.
Hauge was not to be outdone and said, "Go ahead."
Dorgon knew that he could not care about these things because he had lost power, so he said last: "Please speak."
This word "please" almost made Oboi lose his temper.
Prince Rui, who usually acts high and mighty, now actually said "please" to him.
This shows how destitute Dorgon was.
After a brief moment of surprise, Aobai said in a deep voice: "My three princes, I want to spare the life of the Ming court's Prince Heng or Prince Lu."
"Why? Do you want them to follow you back to Shengjing?" Duoduo was very puzzled.
Their attitude towards the Ming court princes has always been to kill them all.
Even if they were not killed, they would be taken to Liaodong as slaves.
"No, I want to make a deal with the Ming court. I want to exchange the life of one of the princes for the bodies of Prince Duoluo Wuying (Ajige) and Ebilun, and bring them back to Shengjing for burial."
Dorgon, Dodo, Hauge, Tulai and others lowered their heads at the same time with sad faces.
yes.
Ajige and Ebilun died on the battlefield, and their bodies should be brought back for burial.
"What if the Ming court doesn't agree?" Tulai asked.
Duoduo's eyes flashed with ferocity, "Then let the princes of the Ming court be buried alive with my twelfth brother (Ajige) and Ebilun!"
As Duoduo expressed his opinion, Oboi's proposal was agreed by everyone present.
After all, Ajige was Nurhaci's biological son, and Ebilun was Nurhaci's grandson.
After finalizing this matter, everyone began to discuss the specific battle plan.
While they were discussing, Hao Yaoqi had already led his troops out.
Three thousand elite cavalrymen of the Shun army marched out of Daming Prefecture from the south gate with great fanfare, then headed south and disappeared into the wilderness.
The moment the South Gate disappeared from sight, Hao Yaoqi pulled the reins of his horse, and the three thousand cavalrymen stopped.
Hao Yaoqi summoned all the generals, both big and small, to his horse and began to lecture them.
"Brothers, I have a way to make a fortune, do you want to do it?"
"Fuck!" Several generals responded immediately.
"But...didn't the emperor ask us to support Datong?" asked a general.
The order they received before leaving the city was to support Datong Prefecture, not to make a fortune!
"Datong will definitely be supported! But before you set off, you received another military order, right?"
"yes!"
Li Zicheng's personal general said: "Before we set out, the emperor told us to obey General Hao unconditionally. If General Hao tells us to die, we must die without complaint."
Liu Zongmin's cavalry commander replied: "General Liu said that General Hao's orders are his orders. Anyone who dares not to obey will be killed without mercy!"
Cui Ma, the leader of Gao Yigong's elite troops, took a half step forward and said, "I will only follow General Hao."
Hao Yaoqi nodded and put his heart at ease.
The plan to launch a surprise attack on Qufu and plunder the Confucius Mansion came from Li Zicheng and was approved by Liu Zongmin and Gao Yigong.
But they couldn't be involved in this plan.
Only he can say it.
If something goes wrong, he alone will be responsible for it and it has nothing to do with anyone else.
Although it was a self-deceptive idea, it also added a layer of protection for Dashun.
"It doesn't matter whether Datong is lost or not! What matters is that Dashun is short of money. The salaries of officials and soldiers are almost gone."
"As a general of Dashun, I should relieve the emperor's worries! I say it again, I have a way to make a fortune, do you want to do it?"
"Dry!"
"We'll all listen to General Hao." The enthusiasm of these elite Shun troops was fully mobilized by Hao Yaoqi.
Hao Yaoqi was very satisfied and continued, "But there is one thing that needs to be explained. The place we are robbing this time is very special. In order not to bring bad things to the Dashun, we need to pretend to be Jiannu."
These elite Dashun troops were not fools and quickly understood Hao Yaoqi's intention.
"I will listen to General Hao."
"Okay, bring the flag and check it!" Hao Yaoqi ordered.
A dozen personal soldiers came from behind on horseback and took out the Jiannu army flag that had been prepared in advance.
For this operation, Hao Yaoqi prepared three sets of flags.
One set is the Bordered White Banner military flag, one set is the Plain White Banner military flag, and the other set is the Plain Blue Banner military flag.
They correspond to Duoduo, Dorgon and Haoge respectively.
These things don't need to be too sophisticated, as long as they are 70% or 80% similar, they can deceive the Ming army and civilians in the city.
After making sure there were no problems with the flags, Hao Yaoqi looked at his soldiers and said, "Come here, shave your hair and change it into a rat-tail braid."
The soldiers looked as if they had eaten shit. "General, I don't think this is necessary! The armor of the Jiannu army looks similar to ours. As long as we wear the armor properly and hold the flag high, the Ming army and the people will not be able to tell the difference."
"Yeah, that hairstyle makes even dogs shake their heads."
"General Hao, please spare us. We still want to be human beings in the future."
Hao Yaoqi glared at me with a scary expression: "Shut up! If you want to cheat, don't do it. If you want to cheat, do it in full! Only in this way can we pass the blame to the Jiannu!"
"Do you understand?"
"But..." The soldiers were still very resistant.
After all, the idea they have been exposed to since childhood is that their bodies and hair are given by their parents, and they should not damage them. This is the beginning of filial piety.
Hao Yaoqi blinked and thought for a moment: "Give each barber fifty taels of silver. After the job is done, the braids will be removed, leaving the head bald and growing new hair!"
The soldiers had no choice but to accept Hao Yaoqi's plan.
Seeing the long hair of more than a hundred soldiers falling to the ground, Hao Yaoqi stroked his beard and laughed out loud.
"Okay! Generals, listen up. The target is Qufu, which is more than 300 miles away in the southeast direction!"
"When we get to Qufu, we will only do three things! Rob silver, rob silver, and fucking rob silver! Twenty percent of the silver we rob will belong to us, and eighty percent will be handed over to the court!"
"It's time for God to reward hard work!"
"Charge!" Hao Yaoqi waved his whip and led the charge out.
