Chapter 1154 Stomachache

Bumbutai's worries soon became a reality. Half a month later, news came that Agudamu had begun to reorganize the Chahar tribes and was preparing to go to the Khorchin tribe to summon all the large and small tribes of the Khorchin tribe to determine the affiliation of each tribe and the regional division policy.

At this time, Dorgon and his companions, who had gone through untold hardships, finally reached Korchin. When they arrived in Korchin, only six of the eight people were left. Two of them, one met with an accident on the way, and the other died of a serious illness caused by a cold. After such a great sacrifice, Dorgon finally reached the Korchin grassland and began to look for the whereabouts of Bumbutai and others.

Because of the previous discussion, Dorgon roughly knew where Bumbutai and her tribe were, but it was not easy to find them in such a large grassland. Fortunately, Bumbutai had made preparations in advance, asking Ebilun and Qitate to pay close attention to the matter and send people to find their whereabouts. Therefore, Dorgon was discovered not long after he entered Khorchin and contacted them in advance. Before other tribes knew about it, he was quietly taken to Bumbutai's tribe.

A few days later, Dorgon finally came here and met Bumbutai, Ebilun and others. When she saw Dorgon, who was unrecognizable and looked like a beggar, Bumbutai, who was prepared, showed a surprised expression, but soon this expression turned into joy. Bumbutai exclaimed and threw herself into Dorgon's arms without caring about the stench on Dorgon's body.

"You are finally back. Do you know how worried I have been for such a long time? If you were gone, how could we, mother and son, survive?" As she spoke, Bumbutai's tears fell like rain. Seeing her like this, Dorgon felt a dull pain in his heart, and his expression was filled with relief and tenderness.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, I'm back, aren't I?" Dorgon smiled and patted Bumbutai's back to comfort her, looking at Fulin who was standing beside him. After not seeing him for a year, the little emperor had grown a lot taller. Now he was wearing Mongolian clothes and looking at Dorgon with his eyes rolling. For a moment, he didn't know who the person holding his mother was, but felt vaguely familiar.

"Fulin! Come! Meet your imperial uncle, the Regent!" Feeling Dorgon's gaze, Bumbutai wiped away her tears and waved for the little emperor to come over.

Fulin walked forward, and before he got close, he smelled a foul odor coming from Dorgon, which almost made him fall. However, because of Bumbutai's previous instructions, the little emperor, although young, was still able to bear it. At this time, he also understood who Dorgon was, and shouted to Dorgon: "Uncle!"

"Good! Good! All good!" Dorgon's eyes lit up instantly. Although the Qing Dynasty was gone and he did not bring his wife and daughter with him, and he had been stranded outside for so long and suffered a lot, he was finally reunited with Bumbutai and the others.

Moreover, looking at the little emperor, Dorgon's inner joy was extremely real. It included the affection of a "father" for his "son", but also the joy that as long as the emperor was there, the Qing Dynasty would be there and that the Qing Dynasty still had a future.

"Fulin! Why are you so far away from your imperial uncle? Come closer and let his imperial uncle take a good look at you! You must remember, without your imperial uncle, you would not be who you are today. Your imperial uncle is like your father, you must respect and honor him well!" Bumbutai was very displeased when she saw that the little emperor stopped several steps away from Dorgon, and she scolded the little emperor in front of everyone.

The little emperor felt very aggrieved when his mother said that. It was not that he did not want to get closer, but Dorgon was really smelly. You have to know that Dorgon had not taken a bath for more than half a year, and he deliberately made himself sloppy in order to hide his whereabouts. Most people could not stand the stench on his body, let alone the little emperor who was still a child.

The little emperor almost cried with his mouth flattened. Seeing this, Dorgon laughed and waved his hand to stop Bumbutai. He said generously: "The emperor is still young, don't force him. Besides, it's normal that the emperor doesn't dare to approach me in my current state. Wait for me to wash up and restore my original appearance and everything will be fine."

"Oh, this child is so ignorant." Bumbutai sighed, holding Dorgon's hand and continued to cry: "Seeing you like this, I feel very sad. Where have you been hiding these days? How much have you suffered? Why didn't you come earlier? Do you know how much I worry about you every day? My heart is always in pain."

Listening to Bumbutai's words, Dorgon was filled with tenderness and was also extremely relieved. While comforting Bumbutai, he briefly told her about his situation these days and told her that it was not that he did not want to come to find him earlier, but that he really could not.

At that time, I was in danger of losing my life. If I hadn't hidden well, I would have lost my life long ago. How could I have had the chance to come to Korqin and meet her? But even if it took a long time, didn't he find her in the end? Now that we are all together, it's a good thing. Don't cry anymore, you should be happy.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything in the future!" Dorgon said confidently, "Although the Qing Dynasty was defeated, it still exists! As long as I am here, you and your mother are here, the Qing Dynasty will not perish! Back then, my father Khan was able to start an army with only thirteen sets of armor and establish his foundation, but now we have thousands of people, especially thousands of elite white armors. With this alone, the restoration of the Qing Dynasty is just around the corner!"

Dorgon was full of confidence and ambition. Bumbutai's eyes flashed with a complex emotion, but it soon disappeared. She nodded with great joy and echoed Dorgon's words with a few flattering words, which made Dorgon even happier. He laughed up to the sky and became more determined to make a comeback.

At this time, Ebilun frowned slightly. He didn't expect Dorgon to still have this idea. Now is different from the past. The situation is completely different. The Ming Dynasty is not the same as before. Even Mongolia has undergone tremendous changes. It is impossible for Dorgon to imitate Nurhaci's behavior and rebuild the Qing Dynasty. The most important thing now is how to survive. As for raising an army, don't even think about it. If they follow Dorgon's idea and directly raise an army with the few people they have now, I'm afraid it won't take long for everyone to die without a burial place, and then the Qing Dynasty will no longer be able to continue.

"We must find a chance to persuade the regent." Ebilun said in his heart, but he knew Dorgon's temper. Dorgon was in a state of rage, so persuading him would be useless. Anyway, there was still a long time to go, so he settled down first and found a chance to persuade him in a few days. Dorgon was wise and powerful, and as long as he understood the current situation, he should be able to make the most appropriate choice.

Dorgon and his companions had gone through untold hardships to get here, and they encountered many difficulties along the way. Moreover, they did not eat or sleep well, and they became so thin that they looked completely different.

Since they were here, the first thing to do was to set up a banquet for a good meal. Qitat, as half the host, hurried down to make arrangements. Originally, Bumbutai planned to let Dorgon wash up first and change into clean clothes before starting the banquet, but Dorgon couldn't bear it any longer. These days, let alone dry food, he even chewed grass roots when he was hungry, and his mouth was already dry. When he smelled the aroma of roasted whole lamb wafting from not far away, Dorgon couldn't hold back any longer and couldn't wait to have a big meal.

In this way, in the largest yurt, the banquet began. Dorgon and his five subordinates were like starving ghosts, eating voraciously with their hands and mouths busy.

In just a blink of an eye, the whole roasted lamb was eaten up by them, but they were far from finished. Seeing this, Bumbutai hurriedly ordered people to bring in more lambs. After the meat was served, Dorgon continued to tear it apart and eat it with wine.

Half an hour later, Dorgon and his friends had almost finished their meal. The six of them had already eaten two roasted sheep, as well as a lot of other food. Touching his bulging belly, Dorgon burped comfortably. In all these days, this meal was the most comfortable and enjoyable one he had ever had.

At this time, Bumbutai stood up and said to Dorgon, "We've almost finished eating. How about we take a rest?" She went to prepare the bath water and help Dorgon wash up? We'll talk about the rest tomorrow. Dorgon smiled and waved his hand, saying that she could go first. Although he was full, he hadn't drunk much wine yet. He still had to drink a lot of wine. It wouldn't be too late to go after he had enough.

In this way, Bumbutai took the little emperor away first and went to prepare for Dorgon. Ebilun needed to go out for inspection to ensure the safety of the camp due to time constraints. So only Dorgon and his five subordinates were left in the yurt, and Qitat was there to accompany him.

Qitat could drink a lot and he usually spoke nicely. He drank with Dorgon and chatted with him, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Your Highness, you don't know that the Queen Mother has been longing for you day and night these days and misses you very much." Qitate held the wine jug and filled it for Dorgon, and also added wine for his five subordinates.

"Hahaha, how could I not know? When I was hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, I was thinking about them mother and son. Those bad days are finally over, and now they are reunited, I am very happy. Come on, come on, everyone, drink with me!"

"Let's drink!" everyone shouted, raised their glasses and drank them all. After they put down their glasses, Qitat filled them up again and praised Dorgon a few words. At the same time, he complained to Dorgon and told him about the past when Khorchin was attacked. He explained that it was not because of his incompetence, but because the enemy was too powerful and caught him off guard, which eventually led to his defeat and escape.

"It's not easy for you either." Dorgon patted his shoulder generously and said, "You are not to blame for what happened back then. The Khorchin army wanted to fight against the combined forces of the Chahar and Ming armies. Not to mention that you couldn't do it, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to do it if I were in your position."

"But thanks to your cleverness, you managed to escape in the end. Now, all these things are in the past, and we must all look forward. I am back, and this is your Khorchin territory. You and I will join forces to regroup, and then we can unify the Khorchin grassland and fight back to Liaodong. When the overall situation is settled, you can be the Khorchin Prince, and I can also revive the Qing Dynasty!"

"Your Highness, your opinion is brilliant! Your Highness is mighty! I'll toast to Your Highness and wish you immediate success!" Qitat kept flattering him and raised the glass in his hand.

Dorgon smiled and nodded repeatedly, raised his glass and drank with him, and several of his subordinates also drank the glass of wine with a smile. After finishing the glass of wine and chatting for a few more words, Dorgon's face suddenly changed slightly, and he felt a little pain in his stomach. He wondered if he had an upset stomach from overeating just now, and he needed to go to the toilet?
