Tang Tong, Wang Chengyun, Chen Yongfu, Bai Guangen, and Du Zhizhi were all standing in the open space about 100 paces away from the Guangning Gate in the outer city of Beijing, and there were no lanterns or torches around them, so as not to be bombarded by the defenders of the city.

They came to call the city on Li Zicheng's orders. On the 17th, the shouting city shouted that it was smashed, and a Du Xun was put in. However, Li Zicheng did not give up the "battle of attacking the heart", because the walls of Beijing were high and strong, and Hongyi cannons were also deployed on them. If you can't attack the heart, but take it by force, it will not be easy.

Because Li Zicheng's army came lightly and hurriedly, he did not carry much artillery, and he could not touch the city walls of Beijing. Not only is it time-consuming and laborious to build large equipment, but also under the threat of Hongyi cannons in Beijing, large siege equipment is not very useful. But if you want to rely on the ladder ants to attack, how many people will have to die to take Beijing City?

Of course, the time has come to attack. Li Zicheng will not easily dispatch his old battalion, but will let the attached Ming army go to the city, and he will not feel distressed how many deaths he has!

However, Tang Tong, Wang Chengyun, Bai Guangen and Chen Yongfu, the four Ming army commanders who surrendered to Li Zicheng, did not want their subordinates to suffer heavy losses.

For them, the army is the capital! It is the basis for being promoted to become rich in the Dashun New Dynasty in the future, but it can't all be wasted under the city of Beijing.

And through Du Zhizhi, the four of them also knew that Beijing was very empty. There were only a few thousand Beijing battalion soldiers and three thousand net troops.

Wu Sangui's Guan Ning soldiers did not arrive, and the troops of Liu Zeqing, the Shandong general soldier south of the Beijing Division, also fled.

In addition to the lack of troops, there is no salary in Beijing. The treasury and the treasury don't know if there are 200,000 taels of silver?

Without soldiers and salaries, it is an empty city at all, how can it not be shouted?

Therefore, in addition to shouting the "loud voice" of the city, the four general soldiers also brought hundreds of families each, and there were also 3,000 elite soldiers selected from the department. It was these elite soldiers who had just released a burst of firearms towards the Guangning Gate to scare the defenders in the city. Now they are waiting to open the Guangning Gate, and then they will occupy it immediately, and then wait for Li Zicheng's old camp to come to count it as meritorious service-the four of them dare not eat this piece of fat in the outer city of Beijing no matter what, and it has to be left to King Chuang's heartfelt troops......

"Brothers in the city, we are also the original Beijing camp soldiers! Now that I have voted for Emperor Dashun, I eat and drink spicy food every day, and I am not angry with the Zhu family! Don't work for the Zhu family, let's do it with us! ”

"Brothers in the city, Emperor Dashun has millions of heavenly soldiers, and the Jingshi can't hold it, you still open the city gate to meet the king, and you can be a hero from the dragon......"

Shouting the city has begun, not talking about the specific conditions first, but the propaganda of the situation - in fact, there is no need for any propaganda, millions of troops are coming to the city, what else is the propaganda!

The future of the Ming Dynasty is a lice on the head of the monk, and it is clear that it is ...... It's over!

Therefore, the four Dashun commanders estimated that they would shout a few casually, and the defenders on the city gate would respond, and then it was time to talk about the conditions. The four of them and Du Zhizhi scraped together a few boxes of silver, about three or four thousand taels, all of which were carried, and as long as the defenders of Guangning Gate were willing to surrender, the money would be given to them.

The development of things was much beyond the expectations of several of them.

Because the gates will not be opened...... Thanks to the efforts of the British public Zhang Shize, Guangning Gate has been blocked with dirt, gravel and miscellaneous things.

Therefore, even if the defenders of less than 100 people on Quang Ninh Gate wanted to sacrifice the gate, they could not do anything.

And Zhu Cihong has also arrived!

In the war, the current Zhu Cihong is definitely not as good as Li Zicheng, and he is not as good as Dolgon.

But bragging! Hehe, who is Zhu Cihong afraid of? He's a professional braggadocio! In the future, there will be a Securities Regulatory Commission that can govern him, and now the Ming Dynasty does not have this yamen!

Even if there is, with Zhu Cihong's status as the successor of the cause of feudalism in the Ming Dynasty, he is still afraid that others will treat him as a bragging guilt?

That's not just letting go of blowing!

Therefore, as soon as the Beijing battalion soldiers who surrendered to Dashun under the city finished shouting, the response from the city came, but it was not to surrender, but to persuade them to surrender.

"Brothers under the city, you have come early! Now the court has money! The nobles and officials in Beijing have donated money under the inspiration of the crown prince Chitose...... So now we are paid a tael of silver a day! It's cash! ”

What the?

A tael of silver a day, or cash?

How is this possible!?

The four general soldiers all set their eyes on Du Zhizhi. Du Gonggong's head shook even more, "Impossible, impossible...... Even if the court is rich, the saint, oh, it's the faint king of the Zhu family, and he is reluctant to give it! ”

That's right, Emperor Chongzhen! How is it possible to give so much?

The city spoke again: "Brothers under the city, it's too late for you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light!" Chitose Ye said, as long as you defect, you will not blame the past, and one person will be rewarded with five taels of silver, and give cash silver! Come and get the money! ”

How rich is it?

Tang Tong, Wang Chengyun, Chen Yongfu, Bai Guangen, and Du Zhizhi's mouths opened wide in surprise.

Before the five of them could react, some of the "loud soldiers" shouting under the city began to question.

"You just blow it, who will believe it!"

"Even if the imperial court has money, it won't give us these big-headed soldiers!"

"Even if you have money, it's useless...... The millions of soldiers of the Son of Heaven have arrived, and the city of Beijing is guarding a fart! ”

Immediately, someone in the city replied loudly: "It is useful, how can money be useless?"

Let me tell you, we soldiers don't get a few taels of silver...... The big head is going to be given to the Manchurians! ”

"To whom?"

"O Manchurians! Qing ...... The imperial court borrowed troops from the Qing Dynasty! Out of 2 million taels, borrow 20,000 Manchurian soldiers, and come with the Guanning army, and it will be almost to Beijing! As soon as the Manchurian soldiers arrive, you are finished. ”

"Is this true?"

"Of course! Our Daming also returned the Qing Dynasty and kissed ...... The crown prince Chitose wants to marry the Gege of the family of Prince Zhengrui of the Qing Dynasty, and the emperor and the saint of the Qing Dynasty will be in-laws in the future. ”

"Really? Don't talk nonsense! ”

"Haha, can this kind of thing be fake? Can this be nonsense? ”

Also, can you talk nonsense about such a thing as a kiss?

Tang Tong, Wang Chengyun, Chen Yongfu, Bai Guangen, and Du Zhizhi were also a little panicked at this time.

What kind of temper does Emperor Chongzhen have, don't a few of them know it? That was a very serious emperor, how could he talk nonsense about the marriage of the crown prince and the daughter of the prince of Manchuria?

"Du, is it possible that this thing is true?" Tang Tong was a little nervous, and asked first.

"Yes, my father-in-law is the person next to the son of the Zhu family, so I know better than us, right?"

"Dugong Du, will the Emperor of the Zhu family deceive us with this?"

"Yes, Dugong Du, you know the Emperor Zhu Thief best......"

Wang Chengyun, Chen Yongfu, Bai Guangen, and the others also followed and asked. The matter of the Ming Dynasty borrowing troops from the Qing Dynasty is not a joke!

How powerful the Manchurian soldiers are! The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had more victories and fewer defeats against Li Zicheng, especially before Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng were not killed by the Qing soldiers (they did not know that Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty), Li Zicheng could be beaten by them everywhere, and he was a real thief...... But when Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng met the Manchurian soldiers, they were all wiped out!

"This, this ......" Du Zhizhi shook his head, "It stands to reason that it won't, but it's not certain, isn't Chen Xinjia killed because he leaked the matter he talked with the Manchurians?" Maybe the peace talks have been going on in secret! ”

"It must be so!" Tang Tong slapped his face, "Otherwise, why didn't the Emperor of the Zhu family run away?" At the beginning of the year, weren't you still talking about staying in the capital? By March, it was silent......"

"It must be like this!" Wang Chengyun was also afraid, he, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, did not fight with the Manchurian soldiers, and knew how fierce those people were.

If he knew that the consequence of surrendering Li Zicheng would be to fight the Manchurian soldiers, he would definitely hold out in Xuanfu to the end.

Bai Guangen, who had participated in the Battle of Songjin, also suffered from Manchurian phobia, and gasped: "If this is the case, this Jingshi is really not easy to take!" ”

Chen Yongfu was the calmest of the few, and he snorted: "It's just 20,000 Manchurian soldiers...... Let's keep an eye here, continue to let people fire guns, you go to report to the emperor first, I believe the emperor has his own way to deal with it. ”
