Chapter 176: It's better to break into the king! (That's all for today, see you tomorrow in the early hours of the morning)
The lid of the coffin was opened, and the stench was immediately stinking. Because the weather is too hot, Hong Chengchou inside is not too fresh, and it is beginning to rot and stink.
Luo Yang and Guang Shiheng both recognized Hong Chengchou, pinched their noses and looked at them a few times, not only confirming that the coffin was lying in the coffin with Hong Chengchou, who was like a fake change, but also found the traces of the knife and stitches on Hong Chengchou's neck.
From the professional perspective of the former Jinyi Guard's commander Luo Yangxing, this Hong Chengchou obviously did not die of natural causes, but was killed by someone who cut off his neck with a sharp weapon, which is really cruel......
"Inspector Hong was beheaded?" Luo Yangxing's voice trembled when he asked.
Ao Bai sighed again and nodded slightly: "It was the regent who asked him to kill!" β
"Why?" Luo Yangxing asked.
"It's not because he is in the Great Qing Dynasty and has been acting as a spy of the Southern Dynasty!"
How can it be? You've been fooled! Luo Yang said: If there is such a thing, I don't know if I, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, know?
Ao Bai suddenly lowered his voice: "You said before that you could hand over Beijing City if you met Hong Chengchou!" Now that Hong Chengchou has given it to you, when will Beijing City be handed over? β
What the? What the? This one is packed in a coffin, and it can be regarded as Hong Chengchou!?
Luo Yang and Guang Shiheng were dumbfounded, looking at Ao Bai, who had already sunk his face, and he didn't know what to say.
Ao Bai's tone was gloomy, and then he continued: "Your emperor and crown prince have now abandoned Tianjin and Dagu and left in the sea!" Don't have any illusions, Beijing City is already in my bag! β
Actually, I didn't walk clean...... Zhu Cihong also left a cooperative garrison on Haisha Island to guard the fort piled up with sandbags and rammed earth, and also placed four Hongyi cannons and eight Franc machine cannons on the four protruding triangular forts of the fort.
In addition, Zhu Cihong also moved the people of Dagukou to Haisha Island, and then transported them to Shandong in batches - these are all "righteous people" who have seen the brave warriors of the Great Tomorrow, and they are very reliable!
But Ao Bai won't tell Luo Yangxing about this news!
Luo Yangxing glanced at Guang Shiheng - what should I do about this?
Ao Bai snorted coldly at this time: "I told you, my Qing Dynasty's Wuzhen Chaoha heavy soldiers carrying Hongyi cannons have arrived under the city of Beijing, and now they are setting up cannons, and it is futile for you to resist!"
Moreover, how did my Qing Heavenly Soldiers deal with the enemy who refused to defend the city, you two wouldn't know it, right? β
Hearing him say this, Luo Yang and Guang Shiheng were both trembling. Dongyu likes to slaughter the city the most! When the Eastern Captives attacked the city in Liaodong, every time they encountered resistance, they would take revenge by slaughtering the city at every turn! The slightest resistance from the Han people under his rule will be slaughtered in a frenzied manner! In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the Mandate of Heaven Khan Nurhachi issued a Khan edict nine times before and after, "Kill the Nikan who has no grain from everywhere", that is, to kill all the Han people who have no food under his rule to save rations.
In the subsequent battles of the entrance, the Eastern Captives slaughtered again, and once the resisting cities were breached, they were often slaughtered! In the later records of Qing history, after the massacre of Jinan in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji wrote to Chongzhen, admitting that "one million deaths" and saying that "if it is not killed, the monarch and the minister will commit suicide", which means that the resistance of the military and civilians in Jinan was slaughtered, and he completely deserved it!
Ao Bai sneered a few times, and said: "In the fourth year of Chongde, my Qing Dynasty soldiers entered Shandong, and attacked more than 60 cities before and after, except for 8 cities that surrendered, the remaining more than 50 cities were all slaughtered!" If Beijing dares to resist, my Qing soldiers will still be slaughtered! Li Zicheng cherishes the people of Beijing, but I am not so soft-hearted in the Qing Dynasty...... I, the Qing Dynasty, would rather kill all the people of Beijing than give this iron-walled city to others! β
Luo Yangxing laughed dryly: "Even if you kill all the people of Beijing, you can't keep Beijing's ......."
"Who said that?" Ao Bai raised his eyebrows, "Breaking into rebellion and abandoning the city is nothing more than fear of chaos and lack of food among the people of Beijing." If he is ruthless and kills hundreds of thousands of people, he will not have to worry about someone causing chaos inside, nor will he have to worry about not having enough food to eat. With the combat power of the thief soldiers, how could the fortified city not be able to stop the Qing soldiers? You Nikans say that he is rebellious and cruel and unpopular, so let me see that he is not cruel enough to end up defeated! If I let the regent of the Qing Dynasty enter Beijing, hehe......"
The meaning of "hehe" is to drive away all the Han people with Beijing hukou - now that they surrender honestly, then all the Han people in the city will be driven away and make room for the Eight Banners!
Historically, this policy was called "occupying the house", and it was one of the six major malpractices after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs - it was said to be a maladministration, but in fact, it was also the key to the Qing Dynasty's rapid gain a firm foothold in Beijing!
Of course, this policy later became an important reason for the decline of the Qing Dynasty! The Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers became small citizens of Beijing, and the birth rate declined after urbanization, and then the Eight Banners who gathered in Beijing became hostages of various powers.
Ao Bai will not say anything about the deprivation of Beijing's hukou and the surrender of Beijing's real estate, because he doesn't know it yet, what he knows is that you Beijing Nikans will either surrender or die!
The Great Qing Kingdom is not Li Zicheng's soft-hearted rogue......
Luo Yang and Guang Shiheng both knew how ferocious the Tartars were, and they could only sigh at this time.
Luo Yangxing sighed: "Since it is Governor Hong's last wish to sacrifice Beijing City to protect the people of Li before his death, this official can only obey it!" β
Guang Shiheng also reacted immediately, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, this official also means this......"
......
"Grandpa, Inspector Hong, Prince Yu and Uncle Yu have arrived with the troops, and now they have entered Zhending City, so let you hurry up and meet!"
In Jingcheng City, Wu Sangui, who is still the Duke of the Ming and Jin Kingdoms, has just received the news that Hong Chengchou, Duoduo and Wu Sanfeng have arrived together.
He is now joining forces with Azig, the king of Doluo Wuying, preparing to attack the Guguan held by Luo Hu, the general of Guoyi of the Dashun army.
Although the Dashun army has been defeated repeatedly, it is not without the ability to resist. Moreover, several defeats of the Dashun army were lost in field battles, not that they could not hold the city pass - if Li Zicheng could really use the method of Aobai to kill them all, or drive away the people in Beijing, the Dashun army would still be able to hold Beijing!
How many talents are there in Manchuria? Where can we resist the consumption of a bloody battle? If you really want to die tens of thousands of people under the city of Beijing, there is nothing to do with them in the world......
So now facing Luo Hu, who is sticking to the pass, Wu Sangui and Azig both have a little numb scalp.
In addition, Wu Sangui couldn't tell what Dolgon was thinking? Will it suddenly attack yourself?
Hearing that Hong Chengchou and Duoduo came over with reinforcements, Wu Sangui finally let out a sigh. Now he is a little bit inferior and unattainable, and only when he enters Taiyuan City can his Jin Guogong be considered stable.
"You saw Inspector Hong?" Wu Sangui asked the henchman who came from Zhending.
"I haven't seen you," said the general, "I've seen my uncle...... The uncle has now returned to the Ming Dynasty and has become the governor of Beijing. β
Wu Sangui smiled: "It seems that the prince still relies on our family very much!" That's it......"
He didn't think much about it, after all, his own brother would never lie to him, right? So he took a hundred and ten family members and Pegasus to Zhending Mansion City.
In the city of Zhendingfu, the banners of the Eight Banners and the banners of the Ming army are juxtaposed, and the palace of Duoduo and the marshal's mansion of Hong Chengchou are also close together, showing the friendly relations between the Ming and Qing dynasties everywhere.
After Wu Sangui entered the city, he didn't suspect anything, and went straight to Hong Chengchou's mansion, and when he reached the lobby, he found that something was wrong.
Because he saw the two coffins placed side by side, his elder brother Wu Sanfeng had changed into the costume of a Qing military attachΓ© and was standing in the middle of the two coffins.
Seeing Wu Sangui coming in, he just smiled bitterly, pointed to the coffin on the left and said, "Second brother, Inspector Hong has been killed by the regent, and he is in this coffin!" He pointed to the coffin on his right, "This coffin was prepared for you by Brother Fool...... If you don't vote for Daqing today, then you can only sleep in it! Otherwise, you will be the king of Pingxi in the Qing Dynasty! β
Either sleep in a coffin, or become the king of Pingxi in the Qing Dynasty...... But when he became the king of Pingxi, no one needed to go into the coffin?
Wu Sangui looked at his eldest brother, his face was entangled, he shook his head and said, "Big brother, our third sister is the chosen servant of the prince of the Ming Fujun!" Maybe she'll be the crown princess soon......"
Wu Sanfeng looked at his brother and smiled bitterly: "It's okay...... The regent's Gege is also going to marry the prince of Daming, and then our family and the regent will be relatives! β
Is there such a kiss?
"But, will the Lord Regent believe us?" Wu Sangui looked at Wu Sanfeng, "Half of our family is on the other side of Daming...... is also a high lord, and he is the confidant of the prince of the Ming Dynasty! β
Wu Sanfeng smiled: "Uncle, you are too worried...... The foolish brother has been in the Qing Dynasty for a long time and knows the inside story. If the first emperor is still there, there is no way out for you to take refuge in the Qing Dynasty. But now that the first emperor is gone, the regent is not the emperor after all! How many people can he use and believe? In addition to Prince Yu Duoduo and those sworn friends of the two white flags, who else could there be? No matter how unreliable our family is, it is impossible to replace him as the regent, and it is impossible to interfere in the family affairs of their Eight Banners, right? β
"This ......"
Wu Sanfeng looked at Wu Sangui and fell into deep thought, and then said: "For our family, this situation is the best now!" You are going to go to the Southern Dynasty with tens of thousands of Guan Ning troops, can the prince of Fujun rest assured? Our father and the third child only have more than 600 families on hand, which is just enough for the prince and can control it...... That's why he is relieved that he will be good to the third sister! If it is really tens of thousands of troops and thousands of families, hehe, it is difficult to say who is the master!
Uncle, don't worry! Come with me to the Regent, and he'll be sure to use us again.
Because...... There's no one to use him for! β
