Late Ming Dynasty: Oops, I am surrounded by the Donglin Party

"Oh, Minister Xie is here too." After entering the house, Dorgon saw the people inside and said.

He was wearing armor with plain clothes over the armor, and a group of personal guards followed him into the house.

There were also bursts of commotion in Prince Su's Mansion. Occasionally, scolding and wailing could be heard from the direction where Hauge's subordinates were having dinner.

"Dorgon! What do you want to do?" Hauge said angrily.

Xie Sheng didn't say anything, but just closed his eyes with a painful expression.

At this point, Hauge still didn't realize what was happening.

The premise that choice is more important than effort is sufficient cognition. Obviously, Xie Sheng lost the bet. He chose such a political idiot to gamble his future.

Since ancient times, the losing side in power struggles has always had a tragic ending. The Qing Dynasty had only been established for a short time, and the barbaric spirit had not yet dissipated. Xie Sheng was already waiting to die.

"Come with me." Dorgon said calmly, and then walked out of the house.

The personal guards behind him immediately walked towards Hauge with unfriendly expressions.

Haoge finally realized the seriousness of the problem and said, shaking with anger:

"You...you dare to rebel?"

"What do you think?" Dorgon turned around and looked at Haoge.

There was such ferocity in his eyes that even Hauge, who was known for his brutality on the battlefield, trembled.

In the Battle of Guanshan, Daishan's courage was broken, but Dorgon fought his way out of the desperate situation.

In this world, everyone will encounter difficulties or desperate situations, but how people face desperate situations divides them into different types. Some people are overwhelmed by difficulties and never recover.

But some people can live in the face of death, keep falling and getting up, continue to charge forward, and complete the transformation from desperate situations.

Dorgon was obviously the latter.

"The entire Shengjing is under martial law. Aside from your Zhenglan Banner, the other six banners are under my command. Do not resist stubbornly."

Seeing that Hauge's veins were bulging and he looked like he was ready to fight to the death, Dorgon just said lightly.

"The lives of your men are in your hands now. Go and tell them."

Dorgon ordered his men to escort Haoge and Xie Sheng to the dinner place and pointed at the people who were in confrontation.

Although the Zhenglan Banner also suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Guanshan, the 4,000 Zhenglan Banner men who remained behind were unharmed.

Those who were having dinner together were all direct subordinates of the Zhenglan Banner, and they were all quite strong in fighting. If a real outbreak occurred, they could be suppressed, but losses would be inevitable.

Hauge snorted coldly and was about to speak without thinking.

Dorgon frowned and said:

"Haoge, if you truly have any respect for the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, you should know what to do.

The Qing Dynasty cannot perish at our hands. Otherwise, how can we face them down there? "

No matter how rough Hauge was, he knew the current situation of the Qing Dynasty.

There were still 4,000 men left in the Zhenglan Banner, and the remaining soldiers of the other six banners totaled less than 8,000 men. The Grand Marshal of the Ming army was almost at the Liao River, and it was too late even to recruit soldiers temporarily.

Moreover, after more than ten years of wars of varying sizes, the people of each banner have been unable to withstand the conquests. Most of them are old and weak, and there are few young and strong people.

Upon hearing this, Hauge said rudely:

"You want to seize power, and do you still want me to thank you?"

Dorgon frowned even deeper.

It is not difficult to kill these generals, but the difficult part is the 4,000 Zhenglan Bannermen. If they are all killed, the Qing Dynasty will have no hope of turning the tables.

Seeing Hauge like this, Dorgon was heartbroken, but he did not stop Hauge.

Hauge shook off Dorgon's personal guards who were pressing on his shoulders, walked to his generals, picked up a glass of wine that belonged to someone unknown, and drank it all in one gulp.

“Brothers, you have all seen the character of my Fourteenth Uncle. I lost.

This made me understand a truth: bravery and ferocity can only be used on the battlefield, but in the court, one must rely on wisdom and strategy.

It doesn’t matter if this emperor is not worthy of being called the emperor.”

When Hauge said this, how could the generals not understand what was happening? They all glared at Dorgon, as if they were ready to fight him as long as Hauge opened his mouth.

However, Hauge waved his hand and continued:

"I lost, but the Qing Dynasty cannot lose. Even if Dorgon kills me, you will have to follow him in the future.

Brothers, the Qing Empire has reached a moment of life and death.

Leave your useful body to the real enemy."

After saying that, Hauge drew a sword from the waist of someone beside him and was about to kill himself.

Dorgon was quick-witted and kicked him to the ground.

"I won't kill you, Xie Sheng. You are still the Shangshu. The situation is difficult. Those who dare not pay attention should be killed."

As he said this, he ordered his men to take Haoge away, but no one paid any attention to Xie Sheng.

Xie Sheng squatted on the ground for a long time in vain. Only after everyone around him left did he realize that he had saved his life.

He didn't understand why Dorgon didn't kill him, but he was very glad.

……

At the residence of Prince Rui.

Hauge was placed in a separate attic and placed under house arrest.

Around midnight, Dorgon, who had just appeased the people of the Zhenglan Banner, came back and went to see Hauge alone.

Hauge just ignored Dorgon. He thought that his defeat was unfair. If he were on the battlefield, he would not necessarily lose to this uncle who was only two or three years older than him.

“You may not be convinced, but there is nothing you can do.

Hauge, if you had the ability to make the Eight Banners believe that you can lead them to resist Zhang Shikang, this action would not have taken place.

I heard that there was a dynasty in the Han Dynasty that, in such a crisis, would deliberately abdicate the throne to let others succeed it.

Now that the Qing Dynasty is at a critical moment, what is there to covet in the throne?"

Upon hearing this, Hauge sneered:

"You are so noble. You put me under house arrest. Aren't you just trying to take that position?"

Dorgon was speechless. Hauge thought he had guessed it, so he became even more arrogant. Just as he was about to continue mocking him, he heard Dorgon say calmly:

"Fulin will be the second emperor of the Qing Dynasty."
