Chapter 98 Nine Clans Elimination Game

In the Da Zheng Hall, Huang Taiji, who was wearing a melon-shaped hat and a robe with a square collar, obviously had not reacted yet.

"Why are you panicking? Go back and handle government affairs."

He was a little angry. Just because of the continuous defeats on the front line, were these slaves fooling him and ignoring his authority as the Prince of Zhiyue?

Huang Taiji walked out of the gate of Da Zheng Hall, ready to scold these people who were running around.

The two deputy leaders of the Bordered Yellow Banner were the first to run to the vicinity of the Da Zheng Hall. When they heard the noise at the gate, they felt that something was wrong, so they got off the kang, walked out of the pavilion and took a look. They saw that the soldiers of the Yellow Armor Banner and the Red Armor Banner who were on duty at the door were retreating step by step, and it seemed that a large number of Ming soldiers were attacking.

The facts were indeed the same as they expected, but there was only one person who attacked, and he was wearing a white cloth armor with a red edge.

"It's Li Hao. Go out through the back door and gather the armored bannermen."

"Why did this unkillable guy come to Shengjing?"

The two yellow flagmen had faced Li Hao head-on the most times, and they knew best that there was no chance of survival near the Ten Kings Pavilion, so they hurriedly put on the armor hanging in their respective pavilions, took their iron helmets and ran to the back door.
During this time, he swung the braid around his neck and wrapped it around several times, held the tail of the braid in his mouth, and pressed the iron helmet on his head.

The two deputy flag masters usually enjoyed great glory, but now they were only followed by two or three unarmored slaves. They were terrified to the extreme and only regretted that their parents had not given them two more legs.

Huang Taiji happened to run into the two men who were supported by servants. He had always been at odds with the people of the two yellow flags, and now that he had the evidence, he was about to reprimand them, but he saw the nobles of the six flags and Sahalian running back behind them.

And the red-armored and yellow-armored flag soldiers who were retreating step by step near the gate in the distance.

"Fourth Prince, the unkillable Li Hao is here."

Sahalian did not forget to remind his young uncle.

Manchu has a very poor vocabulary, and even nicknames for people are picked from existing words. The strength that Li Hao demonstrated in several fierce battles was only translated into Manchu as the prefix "unkillable".

Huang Taiji was angry at first and then afraid. He was angry that his subordinates were incompetent, which allowed Li Hao to kill him in the yamen. He was also angry that Li Hao killed all his descendants one after another, which reduced the chances of him inheriting the Khan throne.

"How can these slaves do their job? Quickly call in the four-gate flag soldiers."

The Fourth Beile still has the ability to respond. Several full-number Niulu could not kill Li Hao in an open area in the wild, and it was even more impossible to kill him in such a small and cramped place in the city.

Even blocking it is difficult to do.

While he was busy running towards the back door, he did not forget to send his servants to remind several Han officials in the hall.

The Fourth Prince always believed that it didn't matter how many bannermen and soldiers died, or how many villages and forts were breached. As long as the core generals and officials of the Eight Banners were there, they could always gather a large army to surround and kill Li Hao.

So even though he was being attacked in Shengjing City and there was a serious threat just a few hundred steps behind him, Huang Taiji still believed that there was hope.

The more he ran, the clearer his thoughts became. More and more flag soldiers and servants gathered around him, and the Fourth Beile began to give orders one after another.

During this process, he only felt a little hot, but because he kept walking, he attributed it to sweating from running.

However, people like Sahalian around him saw it clearly.

"Fourth Prince, your face is too red. Please poke your nostrils."

He was worried that the young uncle would faint from anger.

At this time, the nobles of the Eight Banners had already run out of the back door of the Da Zheng Hall palace wall, and the Hanwang Palace was located to their northwest.

"Don't rush. Bahana, go to the Khan's palace and take away the Khan's brothers and wives. Go to the north gate. It's safe there. I will gather the guards at the four gates and will never let Li Hao go."

Huang Taiji first instructed an Ezhen from the two yellow flags to take people to notify the people in King Han's palace to leave, and then left seven or eight slaves to guard the back door of the palace wall.

He himself led the remaining six nobles and ran eastward.

There is a place to tie horses to the south of the Ten Kings Pavilion. The horses ridden by the Eight Banner nobles on duty are all at the front gate. There is only one messenger's duty room on the east side that has horses available all year round.

Only by finding a horse can we quickly escape to a safe area and then mobilize the guards inside and outside the city.

……

Before charging into the Da Zheng Palace, Li Hao encountered two waves of Tatars. One of them was a group of red-armored soldiers brought by Sahalian. They were probably brought by Ezhen, who was close to him in the two red flags. They were wearing armor at home, were not very good at archery, and had little fighting spirit.

The second were the gatekeepers in front of the Daijo Hall, all of whom were from the two yellow flags. They fought to the death. Fortunately, they did not carry longbows when they were on duty, so they could only fight Li Hao in close combat.

The Jinzhou general whipped eight out of ten people to death with whips and maces, and frightened the living people so much that they fled in all directions. Only then did he have time to search for the Eight Banners nobles in the Ten Kings Pavilion and the Da Zheng Hall.

Unfortunately, the place was too empty, and the noise he made when he broke into the door was so loud that the nobles of the Eight Banners disappeared without a trace. Only some slaves and a few Later Jin officials with limited mobility were left in the Da Zheng Hall.

"Who is Fan Wencheng?"

After entering this three-bay tent-shaped octagonal building, Li Hao shouted.

His body was covered in flesh and blood, and his murderous aura frightened the servants in the hall so much that they couldn't even stand up.

Several civil officials were quite old and behaved better. The leader of the group answered in Chinese: "Fan Wencheng is young and has strong legs. He has already followed the Fourth Prince."

This man was very surprised. Why would the Ming general who broke in specifically question a Han Chinese servant beside the Fourth Prince? Did the two of them have a grudge?
Hearing this answer, Li Hao was slightly disappointed. He came here just for Huang Taiji, Fan Wencheng and others, but he didn't expect that he didn't stop any of them.

After asking several people's names, he confirmed that he had never heard of these Later Jin officials. After giving an intact body to the man who had just answered the question, no one was left alive in the hall.

The Han Palace was not far away. Li Hao found his way to the back door of the palace wall and knocked on the door seven or eight times. Finally, the people behind the door could not bear it anymore and fled.

The Jinzhou general who was still gathering strength to attack suddenly missed the target and almost lost his strength after breaking the goal.

He ignored the running around unarmored slaves and ran straight to the palace of King Han. The harvest here was not small.

The main gate and two side gates of the Han Palace had been closed long ago. Li Hao removed a horse post and used it as a battering ram, and it took a lot of effort to break open the side door.

The Eight Banners of the Manchus prefer small residences, and although Prince Han's Palace occupies a large area, the buildings there are relatively small, making them quite convenient to search.

He spent some time in the front yard and only found a dozen servants. He thought that everyone in the backyard had run away. However, as soon as he entered the backyard, he saw a middle-aged woman in front of the north room, loudly scolding seven or eight middle-aged Tartars.

This middle-aged woman was adorned with gold and silver jewelry. Although her facial features were delicate, her skin was stuck to her skull and there was not much fat around her facial features, making her look extremely mean.

She was followed by a little boy of about ten years old and two or three female servants.

There were a few younger women standing at the doors of the houses on the east and west sides, watching the fun.

When the people in the backyard saw Li Hao breaking in, their reactions were very different.

The Tartar women on the east and west sides laughed even louder, and the middle-aged woman in front of the north room was furious and dragged the boy into the house. The group of middle-aged Tartars obviously knew who Li Hao was and they directly tried to snatch the boy.

"Don't move, Duoduo is mine!"

Li Hao shouted loudly, not caring whether they could understand him or not, and strode directly to the north room. With the double maces in his hands, he killed any man he saw and any woman he saw.

Before attacking Shenyang, the Jinzhou general did some special homework.

Nurhaci's first wife at that time was the mother of the three brothers Abahai and Ajige.

When Abahai was in Hetuala, she was deposed as the Queen Mother and lived in a separate house. However, as soon as the old slave moved to Liaoyang, he reinstated her as the Queen Mother and she has remained so until now.

There are not many people living in King Han's palace, and the target person is very clear. The middle-aged woman dragging the child into the north room is Abahai, and the boy must be the naughty child Duoduo.

Among Nurhaci's descendants, Duoduo, who was doted on by Nurhaci and Abahai, always maintained the temperament of a naughty child.

According to official history, when Huang Taiji was in power, only Duoduo was beaten away by Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou when he led the troops alone. The rest of the descendants of the Ai family, even when Haoge's troops were surrounded, did not dare to take the lead in running away, because his father would really punish him.

The Tartar who tried to rob Duoduo was quite loyal and stayed by his master's side before his death.

When only the mother and daughter were left in the north room, Li Hao showed a bit of grace. He drew the heavy sword from his back and chopped the two of them down with their heads and shoulders.

Then he carefully cut off the two heads, without damaging their faces at all.

"I don't know where the old slave is now. When you find him later, send these two heads to him first."

Although these two can be exchanged for reward silver in the Ministry of War, Li Hao does not value that little silver more than disgusting Nurhaci.

He tore a piece of cloth from the bed curtain, carefully wrapped the gift, and tied it behind his back before going out to continue plundering the old slave's nine clans.

Now that we are in Shenyang, I have to give Lao Ai’s family a set of Nine Clans Candy Crush Saga.

Of course, there are still many family members of the Two Yellow Flags in Shenyang City, and Li Hao also has a very large plan to reduce the population. It is not yet noon today, so there is plenty of time for him to complete the progress.

……

Huang Taiji and his men finally found their way to the East City Gate after riding horses. Although most of the armored soldiers of the Eight Banners Camp were sent to Sancha River, there were still some fully-mandated Niulu stationed in Shenyang City, and many armored soldiers and dead soldiers from each banner who were at home had gathered there.

"According to the suggestions of Tulai and others, there are about 100 to 200 dead soldiers with nets trained. They are in the west camp outside the city and can be transferred into the city to deal with Li Hao."

A thirty-year-old servant in the duty room suggested.

He is none other than Fan Wencheng, whom Li Hao has been obsessed with, and currently serves as a bondservant of the Bordered Red Banner.

"Yes, yes, yes, go and do it."

Huang Taiji had two balls of cotton stuffed in his nostrils. His nosebleed finally started to flow out and he looked a little listless.

The order to mobilize the guards at the four gates has been issued, and he is thinking about whether there has been any negligence.

He is good at long-term planning, but he is not as good as Dorgon in adapting to changing circumstances.

"There has been no news from the people in King Han's palace. Should we send more troops over to take a look?"

There is a real report back.

"Go quickly, send a few dozen cavalrymen to check on the noble mansion on North Street."

After giving this order, the Fourth Prince suddenly remembered that when they were fleeing just now, they did not send anyone to notify his wives and concubines to flee that area as well.

Huang Taiji's heart began to beat fast when he thought that his wife and concubine were both living in the same courtyard.

His slightly listless face also turned red, which was not a good sign.

All the nobles of the Eight Banners in the duty room were staring at the Fourth Prince, fearing that he would make another mistake.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a long time, Huang Taiji finally calmed down. He had no offspring anyway, so what did the death of a few women matter?

When he thought that Amin’s wives, concubines and children were most likely to be lost, his face returned to normal.
