But when he crossed the Yuhe Bridge and walked to the Lingxing Gate, he saw an army in front of him who was ready to go, and strode towards them, led by a man wearing a Manchu blue official uniform, and the picture embroidered lion looked very domineering.

He rode over and saw someone in front of him, so he waved his hand to signal his subordinates to go and inquire about the battle situation, and a general wearing a warm hat and armor next to him hurriedly nodded, holding a saber in his hand and holding his head high and asked, "Stop!" Which army are you from? ”

Ma Wei was shocked when he saw the enemy general coming over! Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin behind him immediately held the handle of the knife and prepared to make a move, while Yao Qiuyue and Zhu Youlan were also preparing to make a move in the back.

But Ma Wei thinks that doing it now is to send him to death! He didn't want to hurt everyone, especially the woman he liked (Yao Qiuyue), so he recalled the official position of the Qing Dynasty in his mind, and after analyzing the armor and clothing of this person, he felt that the person who came should be a "generational?" That is, the Jurchen language of "Xiao Riding School" said: Divide the Shiku, Ma Wei blurted out this sentence.

Frightened, the other party hurriedly took a few steps back, and saluted with his hands and fists half-kneeling with Ming Dynasty etiquette, which really scared Ma Wei and the others, Wu Junzhen looked at the person in front of him curiously, and couldn't help but touch Ma Wei's waist with his hand.

Ma Wei, who reacted, coughed a few times, but it hurt him again? Because the person kneeling is the Manchu Han Army Zhenghongqi Xiao Cavalry School: Chen Shun, he opened his mouth and asked, "Dare to ask Lord Niu Lu, how is the battle situation ahead?" ”

Ma Wei was just about to open his mouth when he saw the general on horseback slowly coming over, he was a little worried and scared! His hands began to clench into fists, which made Wu Junzhen behind him see the clues.

And the kneeling person was also a little suspicious when he saw that Ma Wei didn't speak for a long time, at this moment Ma Wei's heart was beating fast, Wu Junzhen felt it, and in order to help him Yao Qiuyue, her eyes glowed with some red light.

But at this moment, there was a burst of firing in front of him? Let the soldiers of the Manchu Han Army and the Red Banner be alert, and in the Manchu Han Army is the Red Banner and obey the king of the county: Kong Youde, give an order to the army to retreat?

Ma Wei breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, but Wu Junzhen thought to himself; This sudden retreat of the enemy? Besides, I'm afraid this sound is not simple, right? Are there still soldiers resisting?

According to the analysis of the situation when Liu Ruilin withdrew, Xi'an Gate only had the border guards defending the city to resist, and the number of troops was only 6,000! And most of them are old and weak soldiers, and they should not be able to hold it.

Now Ma Wei is not concerned about this, he thinks about it, can he still resist the enemy now? I'm afraid it's only Guan Ningjun, and his chance to serve the country for Ming Shunzong is hopeless! At the moment, he can only go out of the city first, he wants to take advantage of the chaos of the Ning army to sneak out of the city, but he is afraid that Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin will take refuge in Wu Sangui!

After all, only Ma Wei knew that Wu Sangui was destined to descend to the East Tartars in the future! Therefore, Ma Wei did not plan to save Ming Shunzong, but followed the group of Manchu Han troops just now behind the red flag.

After a burst of gunsmoke outside the Great Light Palace, two rows of Guan Ning Fire Gun Team came out, and under the command of Wu Sangui, the leader of the Ming Kaiguo and the chief soldier of Ning Yuanwei, and several generals escorted Ming Shunzong forward step by step.

In front of the Manchu Han Army, which was responsible for searching Xi'an Gate, was the Yellow Banner and the Manchu Han Army was inlaid with the Blue Flag, and the two teams of soldiers and horses were the first to encounter the Guanning Army.

These two princes of the Manchu Han Eight Banners County who were more anxious said directly with mockery, "Ouch! Who should this king be? Isn't this the night of the king of Pingxi County in our Qing Dynasty? What's the plan? Escorting Emperor Ming out of the palace? Hehehe. ”

The ridiculed Ming Kaiguo Gong and Ning Yuanwei General was a little angry, and he scolded, "Shut up! I, Wu, am the founding prince of the Ming Dynasty, not the prince of the county. ”

Although this is reasonable, after all, he has a handle in the hands of others! The matter of shaving his hair and offering is well known, so he didn't want to talk so much nonsense with the generals of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, but ordered the soldiers to open fire.

The Guanning firecrackers were also quite obedient, and they shot directly from the front team, and the rear team replenished ammunition to hit the soldiers of the two teams of Wuzhen Chaoha and Han Baqi.

But the protected Ming Shunzong seemed to listen! He asked, "Is what the Tartars just said true?" ”

Worried that being implicated would affect his hegemony as Cao Cao's coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, so the Ming Kaiguo Duke and the chief soldier of Ning Yuanwei explained, "Your Majesty, don't believe the words of these thieves to provoke the relationship between our monarchs and ministers!" ”

The rest of the generals also interceded for the founding prince, but Ming Shunzong still had a big opinion on this.

At this time, the Red Banner soldiers of the Manchu Han Army also surrounded them, and shot and killed several Guanning troops on the spot with fire guns to fight with them, because the spear team of the Guanning Army, the infantry of the Guanning Army, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry, because the place was narrow and could not stretch out, the army was not good to exert its strength, so it had to slowly rush to kill, relying on firearms such as arrows and firearms, wind, fire, and thunder to counterattack.

After fighting for a while, the two sides were evenly matched, but the soldiers of the Manchu and Han Eight Banners mostly had the advantage, and the Guanning army was frequently pinned down because it could not be used!

Unexpectedly, someone in the Han Eight Banners Army suddenly shouted: "Don't hurt the eldest uncle, put down your arms!" ”

The two Manchu Han Eight Banner County Kings looked back and found that it was the Manchu Han University Scholar who supervised the army: Hong Chengchou, who was shouting loudly, and rode forward to the front of the two armies while shouting, looked at the Ming Founding Duke and Ning Yuanwei, and began to say, "Uncle Chang, are you sure you want to betray the Qing Dynasty to do things for Hu Ming?" ”

The embarrassed Ming Kaiguo Duke and Ning Yuanwei looked at the old man in front of him, and replied, "Hongjunmen, you and I are our own masters, please don't stop Wu, besides, the Qing court also said that after entering the customs, I will avenge the first emperor, and I Wu did nothing wrong!" ”

After thinking about it, the Manchu Han scholar felt that there was something to write, so he sold him a favor and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions!" I won't stop you, I just hope you can figure out Uncle Chang, Da Ming won't last long! ”

After saying this, let the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Han get out of the way and let them go?

This scene happened to be discovered by Wu Junzhen, who was catching up, and when they saw the soldiers of the Manchu Han Eight Banners on the opposite side, they got out of the way one by one, as if they wanted to let the Guanning army evacuate? Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei hurriedly took off the armor on their bodies, and Liu Ruilin saw that they took it off together.

Zhu Youlan seems to understand the meaning? She whispered, "Are you going to sneak in and escape from the city?" ”

The three of them nodded and asked them to get off quickly, and by the way, they found an opportunity to rescue His Majesty the Emperor, because the three of them felt that the Founding Lord seemed unreliable?

Sure enough, when he made way for them to go, the Manchu Han scholar also said, "Don't forget, Sangui, you are a person who shaves your hair, and Da Ming can't tolerate you!" ”

It was this sentence that made Wu Junzhen and them hear, and Ming Shunzong heard it, and the rest of the Guanning soldiers were also a little shocked? Thought; When did Mr. Wu shave his hair? Didn't he just offer to offer a prisoner? Why does this Hong Junmen talk about shaving his hair? Could it be that Mr. Wu has mutinied?

You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, Confucian ideology and education were believed, and the so-called "Enlightenment of the Book of Filial Piety" of the Thirteen Classics of Confucian Scholarship is mentioned; It is the beginning of filial piety that parents dare not damage the hair and skin of the body, and of course it includes "shaving", which is especially important.

The Han people in the Ming Dynasty can only cut their hair as long as they are longer than the waist (just cut off a part) and can not cut more than the back, even in the hottest summer, they are left below the neck, and all the hair is tied up and worn with a net scarf, so it is almost nonsense to shave hair like Dongyu Jiannu, and it is impossible for the authentic Ming people to shave their hair rather than obey!

So when Ming Shunzong heard this, he was furious and said, "Wu Guogong, is this true? Have I done you any wrong? Dare to shave my hair and hurt my heavenly kingdom, and his teeth are for my ministers! ”

And Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin also felt that something was wrong after hearing this, after all, they were both ancient people, even Zhu Youlan and Yao Qiuyue began to despise Wu Sangui, only Ma Wei comforted them and said, "Brother Wu, Brother Liu, don't worry!" For the time being, it is best to keep up with them and escape. ”

In the face of the accusation of the Ming Emperor, the founding prince of the Ming Dynasty and the general soldier of Ning Yuanwei, he was naturally weak-hearted! However, he was not afraid, but said, "Your Majesty, this matter can be discussed later!" Let's get out of here! ”

In this way, the Ming Kaiguo Gong and the general army of Ning Yuanwei escorted the scolding Ming Shunzong, and the Guan Ning army who had doubts about him hurriedly withdrew from Xi'an Gate, and Wu Junzhen and they also mixed in and retreated.

Looking at their distant backs, they couldn't help but make the three princes of the Manchu Han Eight Banners County blame themselves! sighed and sighed for fear of being blamed, but the Manchu Han scholars decided to do it alone and not affect others.

At the same time, the two Xuanda regions of the Northern Zhili Wanquan Command Envoy and Shanxi Xingdu Command Envoy also came the news that the Li Thief Liukou in the capital had been defeated and the Guanning Army had recovered the Beijing Division.

The herald hurriedly rushed to the Governor of Xuanda, Zhang Tianlin, who was stationed in Dashun, and reported, "Report to the Governor of Qiqi, Your Majesty, Your Majesty...?" ”

Seeing the herald's spitting appearance, the Great Governor of Dashun Xuan, Chaotianhou, stood up and grabbed him by the collar and asked, "Tell me quickly, what's wrong with Your Majesty?" ”

The herald, who was worried that the matter would be revealed, looked around before he spoke, "Your Majesty, the army has been defeated!" All the troops withdrew from the capital, and many troops on the side of the command of Wanquan were nowhere to be found! Shall we keep it now? ”

As soon as the words fell, the governor of Dashun Xuanda, Chaotianhou, interrupted him and retorted, "Bastard thing! Of course, it's guarded, but you must not let and let Jiang Zongbing know! The matter must not be disseminated. ”

The herald nodded, then turned and walked out.

However, this happened to be heard by several monks who were about to come over, and they hid behind the house and did not dare to move, and only left after a long time when there was no one.

In this regard, the governor of Dashun Xuanda, Chaotianhou, still disagreed, thinking that he had a heavy army and occupied the capital, and no one could attack it, so he continued to order in a hurry, "Spread the Bugu password, pull the artillery to the Yungang Grottoes and temple, and the governor will destroy this last Buddha in front of everyone, so as to become like the Northern Wei Dynasty Shizu Taiping Wang Taiwu Emperor: Tuoba Tao, Northern Zhou Gaozu Wu Emperor: Yuwen Yong, Tang Wuzong Yingwang Su Emperor: Li Yan, Later Zhou Shizong Jin Wang Wen Emperor: Chai Rong, such a great hero who destroyed the Buddha." ”

Sure enough, after the soldiers of the Shun army received the order, they immediately mobilized the transportation of the Datong Left Guard, the Datong Right Guard, and the Datong Avant-garde garrison; Three Weiyuan cannons, two exterminating cannons, nine tiger squat cannons, and four Shenxuan cannons went to the capital to prepare to destroy the Buddha.

This move angered the vast number of monks in the Xuanda area, especially the local monks in the Yungang Grotto Temple, the eminent monks, and the Ming monk Lu Si Zuo Shanshi, who had been the monk Lu Division under the Imperial Court Rite Department: Master Meigu, secretly united with the Ming Xixing Capital to command the envoy Datong Mansion Monk Gang Si Du Gang: Ye Luchen, Ming Hun Yuanzhou Seng Zheng Si Seng Zheng: Guangqing, Ming Shanyin County Sangha Association Si Monk Association: Qi Yingluan, the monk officials led by the inspiring and supporting the people to resist the Shun soldiers who destroyed the temple.

Despite this, the soldiers of the Shun army still transported the artillery to the Yungang Grottoes, and the captain of the Dashun Zhenchuan battalion: He Lufa took the lead in letting the flag waver wave the flag, and the Shun army artillery men put down the torches and lit the fuse (boom) and blasted over.
