Chapter 175: Then the jade is burned!
"Hurry, hurry up, for the sake of our Qing Dynasty, for the sake of the regent, fight with those thieves!"
Feng Quan roared frantically.
In front of him, a large number of officials and domestic slaves rushed into the houses on the side of the street like wolves, dragged out women and children, and tied them up to their cries. And behind these servants there were countless such women and children, strung together like cattle, driven by the whips of the house slaves in their cries, and walking forward little by little. At the same time, in the streets and alleys of Beijing, those civil officials of the Qing Dynasty were taking their domestic slaves to search for women and children in the same way, and then drive them to ......
"Letting you enter the palace is a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes, and it is our Qing regent who loves you, you people don't know what to do!"
Master Feng shouted.
Their destination was the Imperial City.
To be precise, it is the narrow royal street between Daming Gate and Chengtianmen, as for what to do in the future, the officials and men will not care, in fact, it is difficult to say whether anyone really cares about their eating and drinking, after all, there is not much food in the city, and it will not last long just to feed the army.
"Master, please be gracious, the concubine is proficient in chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, and I am willing to be a slave and a maid for the master!"
A woman suddenly fell at Feng Quan's feet and cried.
At the same time, she looked up at Feng Quan.
She should be from a good background, although her face is full of dirt, but she can see that her skin is fair, her appearance is good, and the two tear stains are even more pitiful, but ......
"Fuck off, slut!"
When she was young, she had felt the benefits of men, and Scholar Feng, who was also a beautiful man, unceremoniously raised his foot and kicked her to the ground, and then a house slave grabbed her hair and dragged her aside to tie her up with a rope. The woman still wanted to beg for something, but the whip that fell unceremoniously made her finally understand that this woman in this world is a fart, even if she is lucky if she doesn't kill and eat meat, people want to play with women, just drag her over casually.
Qin, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting ......
Suddenly, there was a roar in the sky, and then something fell into the embroidery building of a mansion in the distance, and in an instant, the embroidery building was shattered in the explosion, and the smoke and dust rose rapidly.
Feng Quan looked there with a gloomy gaze.
Suddenly, a young man rushed out of the courtyard, and before the house slaves who were also watching the scene could react, they came straight at him with a stick and a roar.
Suddenly, the sound of breaking through the air sounded.
Then the man was pierced by an arrow in the chest.
Seeing him fall down with a sad and angry face, Master Feng wiped the cold sweat on his head, turned around and smiled at the Eight Banners officer not far away and nodded his thanks, and behind him a woman cried and threw herself on the man's body, and at the same time a middle-aged man was dragged out by a house slave.
"Hurry up, go up to the wall!"
Feng Quan said.
"If you don't go, this is what will happen to you, your wife and children will all be beheaded as bandits!"
He then added with a hideous face.
The man looked at the dead corpses on the ground, looked at his wife and children who were tied up by ropes, lowered his head with a sad and indignant expression, and stood numbly in a group of strong men, and the Qing army officer next to him suddenly whipped a strong man, and several other Qing soldiers kicked a few strong men, and this strong man team walked towards the city wall like a walking corpse.
At this time, the Shun army, which was attacking the gap in the city wall, had been repulsed.
Despite the ferocity of the Shun offensive, it was useless.
Because Dolgon still has a special kind of god army under his command!
Dozens of warriors of the Divine Army rushed into the melee with gunpowder bags on their backs, and used this indiscriminate attack to blow up the Shun army, and even the gap was quickly blocked by the Qing soldiers with dead corpses and various woods and stones.
However, the Shun army continued to attack with artillery support.
After all, Li Zicheng has an absolute advantage in troops, and the same is true in firepower, with the canal and Yang Qing in the rear, a material supplier and a lot of silver, Li Zicheng can buy anything from Jiangnan.
In the face of his aggressive attack, in order to avoid too much loss of the Eight Banners Army, Dolgon readily adopted this clever method at the suggestion of Feng Quan. Those civil officials and their domestic slaves served as slave catchers, and then captured the strong men in the city as cannon fodder, and imprisoned the wives and children of the strong men in the imperial city under the watchful eye of the Eight Banners Army, and the Shun army broke through the city wall, and they killed all these women and children.
In this way, the strong men were forced to fight.
There are 50,000 Eight Banners in the city, and 50,000 Shuntian gentry including the Divine Army, which is enough to ensure the control of the entire Beijing city.
They can also catch 200,000 strong men in the city.
In this case, let's fight with Li Zicheng!
Use the flesh and blood of these strong men to consume Li Zicheng's offensive force, and at this time the gentry everywhere are organizing their own armed preparations to reinforce Beijing, in fact, even the main force of the Eight Banners of Manchuria has been transferred out of Beijing to Duoduo for future counteroffensives, Jiang Hao and the Mongolian army are also carrying out the final encirclement and suppression of Liu Zongmin, as long as Dolgon can hold on to Beijing for half a year, then not only these, but even the various departments of Mobei Mongolia have been invited by it.
Although it is difficult to say how many will come.
But there will definitely be, after all, the herdsmen are also eager to make a fortune from the south.
Dolgon is dragging.
He knew very well that there was no hope for him in a decisive battle, even if he added the Mongol allies, his army entering the pass was only 100,000, and of them were 30,000 Eight Banner Korea, the combat effectiveness of these people would not be stronger than Jiang Jiu's subordinates, and the rest were all surrendered. These army generals must be single-minded with him, but it is difficult to say how much will those soldiers can fight in the face of their old masters, and his advantage is that those gentry treat him as a life-saving straw, as long as he holds on or drags Li Zicheng in Beijing, the gentry everywhere will see the hope of fighting for their lord and sage era, and those alien races will also see the opportunity to sack the Central Plains Huahua world.
In short, his potential allies are numerous.
But these people need time and enough confidence, so he will stick to Beijing and hold Li Zicheng to give these people time and opportunities.
Then wait for Li Zicheng to fight back when he is exhausted.
It's risky.
But Dorgon had no other choice.
He went south this time to survive in death, and the attack on North Korea only replenished his troops, but the barren North Korea did not give him much food, and the grain smuggling of the Jin merchants was cut off, and we Daqing, who had lost foreign supplements, could not produce enough food by themselves, and last winter they survived by eating the old and weak Koreans, and this year's severe cold and drought are more serious, so they will be trapped to death in this way.
In order to survive, they can only expand to the Kannai to find a way to survive.
It was a gamble of fate.
"But there's not enough food!"
Chen Mingxia, who was originally a mortal enemy of Feng Quan in history, said.
"Not enough?"
Feng Quan smiled and said, "This is not food? ”
Chen Mingxia didn't understand at first, but when his gaze followed the direction he was looking at and fell on those women and children, he gasped, he looked at Feng Quan with a shocked gaze, and then didn't say anything, took his house slave and walked straight to the closed courtyard gate in front, unceremoniously smashed open and broke in, and soon a woman's cry came from inside.
"Then let's burn the jade!"
Master Feng waved his arms and roared wildly.
He didn't notice that at this moment, in the gutter not far from him, a pair of eyes were quietly watching his back through the cracks in the stone slabs in the stench of sewage, watching the women being escorted to the imperial city in the distance in the midst of crying.
After Feng Quan took the house slaves and the Qing soldiers who acted as a deterrent, the owner of these eyes carefully crawled forward in the sewage, but fortunately, the stone slab above his head was full of gaps, so the air inside was still circulating, otherwise such an environment would have to smoke people to death. He climbed all the way to the exit of the gutter, and then waited here until nightfall, and after making sure that there was no one around, he pushed away a soaked corpse in front of him, quickly entered the gutter outside, and cautiously continued to swim along the gutter, occasionally pushing away the corpses that blocked him. Because of the lack of food, in fact, a large number of poor people in the city starved to death every day, and no one would clean up the city after the siege of the Shun army, not to mention these ditches, and the dead bodies in the streets and alleys of the city were the least rare.
Including some women who were killed by the Qing army.
After the siege of the Shun army, the city has actually been reduced to a demon, if Li Zicheng mainly tortured the gentry after entering Beijing, now the unlucky ones after the Qing army entered the city are the common people.
This person soon arrived at the Desheng Gate Water Pass.
The Shun army has always been mainly attacking the eastern gates, and the other sides are just on alert, the number of Qing troops guarding here is not much, and no one pays attention to the city, he quickly disappeared into the shadow of the water culvert, the water here is not deep, and there are even a few dead bodies blocked in front of the iron mullions. He retreated to the shore and unfastened his backpack, took out a special diving suit and put it on, which was actually a sealed hood with a leather tube attached to it, and the leather tube had driftwood to float, because the length of the leather tube was limited, and it could only be under the water. However, it was enough for this kind of water barrier, and after diving underwater, he quickly touched the rusted iron lattice under the silt with his hands, and began to use the refined hacksaw he carried to start two meters under the water, and sawed these pig irons that had not been replaced for many years and were about to rust into rotten wood under the mud that had not been replaced for many years.
Soon a hole big enough for him to get in and out was sawed out.
He surfaced to eat milk bumps to replenish his strength.
After resting enough, he pulled off the silt and drilled backwards into the culvert, and after revealing the water, he carefully pulled the back leather pipe, and the sluice gates in the culvert to keep the inner and outer water levels were ajar, and he dived directly from the water to the iron mullions outside, through which was the moat.
He followed the steps he had just done and quickly sawed open the hole and got out.
The walls were unnoticed.
He quietly swam across the moat, hid in the barren grass on the opposite bank, crawled forward with the help of the barren grass to cover a little bit away from the sight on the city wall, until he went out more than ten zhang before he got up, put away his diving suit and bowed quickly forward and left the city, ten minutes later he met a group of patrolling Shun soldiers.
"Xu Cheng, the stationmaster of Jinyi Wei Beidu Station, asks to see King Qin!"
He pulled out his belt card and said to the stunned soldiers.
(There is a diving suit in "Heavenly Creation", which is roughly like that, but the top is watched by a special person, and it can see things underwater, and it is used for pearl mining along the coast.) )
