Chapter 713 Shanhaiguan
Forbidden City.
After the Xuzhou soldiers occupied Beijing, Ajige occupied the palace, while indulging in pleasure, preparing for the throne ceremony.
His subordinates were also proud and had more than 100,000 troops rushed into Beijing, burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil.
When Fulin withdrew from Beijing, some Manchu nobles who were reluctant to leave Beijing's family business and did not want to follow Shunzhi to exile, as well as neutral ministers, stayed in Beijing.
These people were originally held, whether it was Fulin or Ajige, who were all from the Aisin Jueluo family. Whoever became the emperor was the Qing Dynasty. It did not affect their thoughts, and they still lived their lives.
Therefore, when Ajige entered the city, these people ran to greet Ajige, and the soldiers expressed their willingness to serve the Chongwu Dynasty.
However, they did not expect that after Ajige's Xuzhou soldiers entered the city, they became the targets of disaster and liquidation.
When Ajige entered Beijing, Shunzhi and his followers ran away. Ajige helped him fight from Xuzhou to Beijing and helped him become the emperor. Ajige was embarrassed to let him return empty-handed.
Therefore, they could only indulge them in the city to compete with the Dashun Army's salary assistance.
The soldiers of Xuzhou were in the city, and they took whatever they could, and snatched what they could, rushed into the palace and treasury, as well as official residences, and even the wives and daughters of Manchu nobles, who were raped.
While condoning his subordinates, Ajige rewarded the heroes of the Dragon.
Those who did not leave the royal family were all named Beile and the prince, Dorgon and Dodo, and his own sons were named Prince.
In addition, He Luohui, Suksaha and others also had rewards.
Azige and his supporters were happy. Fan Wencheng, who was enslaved by Azige, was appointed as the chief bachelor of the inner court, but he was not happy.
Seeing Ajige's actions, Fan Wencheng couldn't help but sigh that Huang Taiji, Dorgon and even Jirgalang have always been suppressing Ajige, which is not unreasonable.
Originally, Fan Wencheng wanted to persuade Ajige not to proclaim himself emperor and to maintain the unity of the Qing Dynasty, but he knew that this sentence could not be said, and he would definitely be killed by Ajige if he said it.
However, when he looked at the chaos in Beijing, Fan Wencheng hesitated for a while and decided to enter the palace for advice.
In the palace, Ajige, who reached the peak of power, indulged in one night, slept with a few concubines from Shunzhi, and had fun in Zhengyu's palace.
At this time, Fan Wencheng was brought in by the eunuch. Seeing the shameful scene in front of him, he hesitated for a while, and still plucked up his courage: "Emperor, now the lord of the Qing Dynasty, the capital is the emperor's capital, and the people are the emperor's people. Now the rioters are in chaos in the city, and what they do is even more serious than the thieves in the past. If the emperor indulges in it, he will lose the people's hearts!"
Azige was furious when he heard this, "Dog slave, you dare to compare me to a thief! You dare to curse me!"
Fan Wencheng was so shocked that he knelt down quickly. Ajige had a bad temper and had to take risks in giving advice. If it weren't for the Qing Dynasty, Fan Wencheng wouldn't have said much.
"I deserve to die! But I am loyal to the emperor and dare not curse the emperor. But now, Fu Lin is entering Shanxi west, and there is another threat from the Wu Yue army outside the pass, so..." Fan Wencheng kowtowed and said in pain.
Ajig's face was unstable. As Nurhaci's twelfth son, Ajig was not outstanding among the sons of the old slave.
In his early years, he could not compare with his brothers Huang Taiji, Manguertai, and Daishan. Later, after Huang Taiji died, he could not compare with Doorgun and Duoduo. He was always unsuccessful.
Historically, after Dorgon's death, Ajige wanted to seize power in a coup, but ended in failure and was imprisoned and sentenced to death.
Now that he has become an emperor and has reached the top, he will inevitably expand and lose himself for a while.
But Azig was not really stupid after all. He had a gloomy face and was silent for a while. Finally, he waved his hand and said, "You guys go down first!"
Several palace maids hurriedly left him and left the hall.
Ajige then said to Fan Wencheng: "Get up!"
Fan Wencheng stood up and took the opportunity to continue speaking: "Emperor, there are three things that are very urgent now, and the emperor needs to make a decision as soon as possible!"
Azig said in a deep voice: "What three things!"
Fan Wencheng said: "First, stabilize the capital, establish the imperial court, and order the local governments. Second, send troops to pursue Fulin. Third, send troops to take over Shanhaiguan as soon as possible and block the Wu Yue army!"
After Ajige pondered for a moment, he realized that what Fan Wencheng said was actually very reasonable. In fact, even if Fan Wencheng didn't say it, Ajige would do it, it was just a matter of time.
After all, you have to be happy to win Beijing.
Since he became the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Beijing was the capital of Ajige, and it was impossible for Ajige to really destroy Beijing by looking at his subordinates.
"Mr. Fan's words are reasonable. When Fu Lin runs away, there is no master in the world. I will become the emperor and I will immediately restore the court." Ajige pondered: "Send orders to withdraw the Han soldiers to the outer city, order the two white flags to maintain order in the capital, and prohibit robbery and killing. In addition, officials in Beijing are recruited in their original positions. Mr. Fan recommends several people to serve as the bachelor of the inner court, and also passes orders from various places to change the year name and obey me."
Fan Wencheng hurriedly said: "The emperor is wise."
Ajige continued to fall into deep thought, and pursuing Fulin was indeed an important matter. Fulin was immortal, and with his identity, he could compete with me.
If Fulin retreated to Shanxi and gained a firm foothold, Shanxi and even Guanzhong areas would be loyal to Fulin.
However, pursuing Fulin requires a large amount of troops, but the Wu Yue army is at Shanhaiguan. Once I send troops to pursue Fulin, Beijing will have empty troops.
This will give Zhao Zamao a chance. If Zhao Zamao breaks into the gate and attacks Beijing, how can I resist? Will it be Li Zicheng's second place and he will flee from Beijing in panic?
Thinking of this, Ajig couldn't help but stand up and pace back and forth before the throne. After pondering for a while, he frowned and said, "Have you sent someone to Shanhaiguan?"
Fan Wencheng said: "As soon as he entered Beijing, I heard that the Wu Yue army entered western Liaoning, so I sent someone to Shanhaiguan."
Ajige nodded, "You are doing well. What is Tong Tulai's attitude?"
Fan Wencheng said: "Tong Tulai is willing to guard the Qing Dynasty, but he has few troops. He also asks the emperor to send troops to defend the situation."
Ajige pondered: "It makes sense. You must first control Shanhaiguan and block Zhao Zamao outside the pass so that I have no worries. Then send troops to attack and destroy Fulin."
When Fan Wencheng heard Ajige's words, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "The emperor is wise!"
Outside Shanhaiguan, the Wu Yue army camp spread.
In the central army's tent, Zhao Ming and the generals gathered together to listen to the scout's reply.
"Your Highness's army is at Shanhaiguan, and Beijing is in great shock. When Fulin's son saw that he could not fight, he retreated to Xuanfu in a panic. Ajige's army occupied Beijing without any blood!" Liu Qian knelt on one knee and reported with his fists.
