After listening to Fan Wencheng's advice, Fulin's face became gloomy.
Dorgon did have the ability, qualifications and prestige to compete head-on with Jirgalang.
But the person he hated the most was Dorgon, so how could he hand over the power to him?
However, time no longer allowed him to be willful.
A guard ran in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Zheng has left the palace and is riding towards the south gate."
Fulin took a deep breath with difficulty.
He knows.
The result of further delay would be that both he and Dorgon would suffer losses, and Jirgalang would benefit from it!
"Send an order!" Fulin said helplessly, "Remove Jirgalang from his post as general and replace him with Dorgon. Before capturing Jirgalang, Dorgon can mobilize all the troops of the Eight Banners, including the two yellow banners under my command."
"Your Majesty, I have one more request!" Dorgon said while kneeling on the ground.
"Time is so tight, what else do you want?" Fulin asked loudly.
"I ask the emperor to allow Prince Su Haoge to resume his position as the leader of the Zhenglan Banner."
"This..." Fulin hesitated.
"This matter is very important, otherwise I cannot guarantee that the rebellion can be suppressed successfully." After saying this, he kowtowed hard to Fulin.
He and Hauge are indeed old enemies.
But enemies can sometimes be friends.
Jirgalang had troops under two blue flags, so it would not be wise to confront him head-on.
It would be different if Hauge were released.
After seeing Hauge, the generals of the Zhenglan Banner will most likely change sides.
"Okay, let's do as you wish." Fulin knew the importance of the matter, so he agreed.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Dorgon stood up and walked out, saying to all the generals present: “Follow me to quell the rebellion!”
“Yeah.”
Amid the chaotic footsteps, the generals quickly caught up with Dorgon.
At this time, Dorgon had already come to Fan Wencheng.
The two looked at each other and continued to walk out.
"Does Your Majesty have any solution?" Fan Wencheng asked quickly with a smile.
"Please help me with some advice, Mr. Fan."
Fan Wencheng nodded gently: "I think the most urgent task is not to capture Jirgalang, but to ensure the safety of the emperor first."
At this time, the group had arrived outside the imperial city. Dorgon jumped on his horse and asked, "What next?"
"It depends on the situation whether you should leave the city or not!"
"Ah?" Dorgon was so frightened that he stopped his horse. "Why are you still looking at the situation?"
"Your Majesty, please do as you are told. I cannot explain it in a moment."
Dorgon wanted to ask more questions, but the situation had become extremely urgent.
We can only follow Fan Wencheng's strategy.
Fan Wencheng narrated in a low voice and Dorgon repeated loudly.
"Soni, Aobai, Tulai, Tantai!"
"I am here!" The four of them clasped their fists and bowed.
"You must immediately join up with our troops and lead them into the imperial city to protect the emperor. Without the order of the king and the emperor, no one else may enter the imperial city!"
"I obey your command." The four of them whipped their horses and galloped away.
The situation is unclear now and Fulin lacks a sense of security.
Dorgon's move could not only stabilize Fulin's emotions, but also reduce the defense line of the two yellow flags and reduce the defensive pressure.
As long as the imperial city is not lost.
Jirgalang would not be able to obtain the formal troop mobilization procedures through Fulin, which would be very important for the possible war that might follow.
"Gong Adai, Xihan! You will lead your troops to the north gate immediately and take over the defense of the gate. I will appear there in a moment, and we will leave the city together."
"I will obey your orders."
"Subai!" Dorgon looked at the general of the Plain White Banner beside him and said, "Notify all the generals of the two White Banners in the city to gather at the north gate and leave the city in a moment. Those who disobey the order and are late will be executed immediately!"
After giving this order, Dorgon whispered a few words to Ekesu, the general of the Plain White Banner beside him.
Ekesu left the team with his personal soldiers.
His mission was to transfer Prince Rui's family members from his mansion.
Logically speaking, the families of other generals should also be relocated, but there were too many people and it was impossible to evacuate them all.
Dorgon could only take care of himself.
After arranging these, Dorgon looked behind him.
The leader of the Bordered Red Banner, Luo Luohun, was found, but the leader of the Plain Red Banner, Prince Li Man Dahai, was not found.
After asking carefully, I found out that Man Dahai was detained in the palace by Fulin.
"Luo Luohun, the troops of the two red flags are fifteen miles south of Shengjing City. Find a way to take back the military power, and then move to a place five miles west of the city and wait for the king's order."
Luo Luohun led his men away.
At this time, there was no one else around Dorgon except Fan Wencheng, Haoge and several hundred guards.
They arrived at the north gate as quickly as possible and began to wait.
Soon, the generals of the two white flags arrived one after another.
Just as Dorgon was about to leave the city with them, Fan Wencheng whispered, "Your Majesty, you cannot leave the city."
"Hmm?" Dorgon thought he had misheard and asked, "What did Mr. Fan say just now?"
"Your Majesty, you cannot leave the city."
Dorgon was a little confused. He stared at Fan Wencheng and asked, "Our forces in the city are not enough to resist Jirgalang. If we don't leave the city, I'm afraid..."
Fan Wencheng did not say it clearly, but whispered a few words to Dorgon.
Dorgon grumbled for a while before reluctantly agreeing.
Under his command, the two white flag generals led the way out of the city and joined the leaderless two white flag soldiers outside the city.
Looking at Dorgon who was motionless, Haoge asked doubtfully: "Uncle Wang, when are we going to leave the city?"
He was able to regain power thanks to Dorgon's help.
In order to repay the other party and quell Jirgalang's rebellion, Hauge had to obey Dorgon's orders.
"We won't leave the city," Dorgon replied.
"If you don't leave the city?" Hauge was shocked. "If you don't leave the city, you will be captured alive by Jirgalang?"
"Jirgalang has no time to care about us. His first priority is to rush into the imperial city and control the emperor. Because only in this way can he mobilize the army with justification." Dorgon explained.
"That won't work either," Hauge shook his head like a rattle, "Leaving the city is the safest thing to do."
"I said, you can't leave the city!" Dorgon repeated.
Hauge didn't care about anything else and rushed out on his horse.
Dorgon was prepared and immediately ordered his men to capture Hauge.
Then the group went into a nearby house.
"Uncle Wang," Haoge said in the yard with a sad face, "I agreed to cooperate only on the premise that I can stay alive! Now you are simply courting death!"
“Don’t worry,” Dorgon rolled his eyes at him with some disdain, “I will stay with you, even if we die, we will die together!”
"But..."
When Haoge wanted to say something, Dorgon's personal guard whispered: "My two princes, there is something going on outside!"
Everyone immediately fell silent and listened attentively.
The sounds of horse hooves, footsteps and the friction of armor came from far away and soon came to the outside of the yard separated from them by a wall.
