Yang Qing guessed right, Zhang Nai's troops did not really launch an attack after arriving in the northern capital......

He's just a striker.

But on the same day that he bombarded the northern capital, the follow-up Shun army continued to arrive, and in the evening, the 30,000 Western Regions Army, which was the main force of the Shun army, had all arrived, and blocked the northeast two directions of the northern capital to block the Qing army in Tianjin, and at the same time prevent the Qing army in eastern Hebei from rescuing......

In fact, this simply does not exist.

The Ming army needs to be heavily defended in the first line of Shanhaiguan, and the Qing army is defending, except for the deputy commander of Shanhaiguan, there are thousands of people in his hands, and the other cities along the Great Wall line add up to only two thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people who collect taxes. The only reinforcements that could be sent from this direction could only be the Mongolian cavalry of Xuanda, but it would be half a month before they really came, and these Mongol princes might not have such an interest. After all, they have always had a good relationship with Li Zicheng, and the 20,000 Mongol cavalry under Duoduo have already fulfilled their responsibilities to the Qing Dynasty, but in order to save Dolgon, they have taken time out of the grassland......

His face wasn't that big.

The Mongol princes actually didn't have many young people in their hands at this time, they also tossed in the war for decades, and a few years ago, there were still a large number of young and strong people in the battlefield in Guannei, if it wasn't for their territory, they really didn't have any interest in mixing it anymore.

In the short term, the only external support available to Dorgon was Bolo's 20,000 Qing troops.

Among them, 5,000 Manchurian cavalry, 15,000 infantry of the Eight Banners Divine Army, maybe the 10,000 Eight Banners Divine Army originally stationed in Tianjin could draw an additional 5,000 people for him, but in any case, he could not bring more than 30,000. After all, there is still a large army of Ming troops on the opposite side of them, and Bolo can indeed ignore Tianjin to save Dolgon, but those Eight Banners Divine Army are all from the area of Tianjin.

The old Eight Banners can indeed give up the Kannai.

But it is impossible for the Eight Banners Divine Army to follow them to Liaodong to eat snow!

In fact, in the afternoon of the same day, the forward cavalry led by Bolo also arrived in Tongzhou.

But he didn't dare to strike.

30,000 elite cavalry returning from the battlefield in the Western Regions!

Bolo wasn't so stupid to take the initiative.

Especially since he also knew the news of the failure of Subai's sneak attack, that is to say, this cavalry not only has an overwhelming advantage in numbers, but also has an overwhelming advantage in combat effectiveness, but he has no chance to hesitate anymore......

The next day.

Fangshan.

"Open the door to welcome the king, and the king will not pay for the food when he comes!"

With countless shouts of excitement, in this small county town, a torrent of poor people converged on the streets, and then crashed into the city gate in front......

"Kill, kill all these dog minions!"

An official from the Eight Banners Divine Army shouted with a knife and blood-red eyes.

It's just that his legs are shaking.

And the legs of his men behind him were shaking.

Although the number of banner people here is relatively large because of its proximity to the northern capital, but because the young and strong and even some of the old and weak have been recruited to go south, there are only two or three hundred men left who can pick up swords and guns, and in addition to the disabled, they are old, and there are even a few who are not as tall as birds, and in the face of the poor people like a mountain torrent, they are really weak in their legs!

"Ahh

Suddenly, one of his subordinates behind him, who finally couldn't bear it anymore, threw down his knife, screamed and rushed to the side of the road, and then fell to his knees and kowtowed desperately.

Immediately after that, everyone threw away their weapons and ran to the side, kneeling and kowtowing.

"You cowards, the gods are watching!"

The officer looked back and said sadly.

The next moment, a hoe was shaved on his head, and then this loyal minister of our Qing Dynasty fell down with the blood flowing on his head, and was trampled beyond recognition by countless big feet in the blink of an eye. And those on both sides who fell on their knees and begged for mercy did not flee, although many of them were still shouting the names of their acquaintances, but this did not stop the hoes in the hands of those people, who disappeared into the torrent in the blink of an eye like turf swept into the flood. And in front of this torrent, those young men did not stop at all, and rushed straight to the city gate, where several officials were already busy opening the door, and as the city gate opened, they were also swept into it, and followed along with them across the moat......

The guard of honor of the cavalry in front galloped wildly, and behind these guard of honor, a light single-seater four-wheeled carriage slowly drove slowly surrounded by countless cavalry.

"King Chuang!"

"King Chuang is back!"

Cheers resounded in the sky.

Li Zicheng on the carriage was dressed in gold armor, still wearing a felt hat on his head, wearing a cloak behind him, holding on to the special handrail in front of him, and greeting the people on both sides with a smile on his face.

He couldn't ride a horse anymore.

Even if you can still ride, you can't sustain a long-distance run.

In fact, he was able to get here in a car, and he was already supported by a spirit, and he couldn't die without killing Dorgon, so even if his body was no longer good, he still completed this march in one breath. It's been seven years, and he can finally see the northern capital that once belonged to him, once he almost ruled the world, it was Dorgon's backstab that made him fall short, and now it's time to settle the score.

"King Chuang, you're old too!"

An old man on the side of the road shouted with tears in his eyes.

Li Zicheng signaled to stop.

His special four-wheeled carriage with the latest shock absorption system stopped, the door pedal was lowered, and the guards next to him hurriedly stepped forward and helped Li Zicheng get down from the carriage.

"Folks, don't call it again after the word "king", this king is the king of Qin who was personally sealed by the first emperor, and the northern capital is left behind, and we are all subjects of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the king Fenglongxing was still the capital of Nanjing, and there was a misunderstanding with the imperial court, so that he was in the same room, which gave Jiannu a chance, so that the northern capital fell to Hebei and was occupied by Jiannu. Later, the siege of the city is not conducive to abandoning the northern capital, so that the people have since been poisoned by the slaves, this is the crime of the king, and today the king is handsome and 100,000 tigers are here to save the villagers of Hebei. This king is indeed old, but even if this king dies, he must first take back the northern capital, drive Jiannu out of the northern capital, and use the head of Dolgon to pay tribute to those villagers who were killed by Jiannu! ”

Li Zicheng said as he helped the old man.

There was cheering all around.

"King Qin, we are also guilty, if we can work together with King Qin instead of watching from the wall when Jiannu entered the customs, why would there be a disaster for these seven years!"

The old man continued to say with tears in his eyes.

"There is no need to mention the past, today you fathers and fellow villagers will see Li recovering the northern capital!"

Li Zicheng said.

With that, he got back into the carriage.

"Let's go, go to the Northern Capital!"

He said, waving.

The carriage immediately started again, and then entered Fangshan in a cheer, but did not stop in Fangshan, but ran over the blood stains on the street and passed through the city directly in the welcome of the people on both sides, and went straight to the Gongji City in front. Behind him, the Shun army seemed to be endless, and those excited ordinary people made flying ladders one after another as fast as they could, and then carried the flying ladders to follow the army of King Chuang to the northern capital.

In fact, there have been people who have followed this for a long time.

Since Li Zicheng came out of Bauhinia Pass, there have been those excited poor people who have made all kinds of siege equipment by themselves, and then carried these things all the way to follow, but they have fallen behind because of their slow speed. At this time, the people of Hebei really regarded the Shun army as liberators, and they were not as familiar with the Ming army as they were with the Shun army, after all, Li Zicheng had to rule this land for more than a year before, and Li Zicheng really had to fulfill the slogan of free food. Even Juntian is no longer talking, but really starting to think about it, otherwise the gentry of Hebei would not be so resolute in welcoming Dolgon, it can be said that he is the best ruler for the people in the memory of the people of Hebei.

They don't have direct feelings about Yang Qing, at most they are legends, but Li Zicheng's goodness is what they really know.

Especially when compared to Dolgon.

If it is said that when Dolgon entered the customs before, the people everywhere basically did not resist and surrendered with those gentry, then the intestines were really repentant in the following years.

It's not just the poor.

Even those small merchants, small landowners, regret it!

Li Zicheng's rule is indeed rough, but he at least ensures maximum fairness, and he at least treats the common people as human beings! Dolgon was completely used as a cattle, and only those local tyrants or big landlords were people, and after the tax system, it was completely returned to Hu Yuan. Except for those places where Haoqiang has the right to package taxes, the rest are all slaves, and even those small landlords have been bankrupted by the Eight Banners and Haoqiang, and even their families are ruined......

Land annexation is not warm.

It is said that they are all from the villagers, who still doesn't know who, and they want to frame them, or even break down the door at night, which is all familiar.

It was really dark!

Then Li Zicheng finally came back!

The sky suddenly brightened, no matter what attitude he had in the past, now except for the banner man and Haoqiang, everyone cheered to meet the king, and then drove forward for the king. The hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled Eight Banner Army in Gongji City became the first unlucky, and this small castle that Chongzhen repaired to resist Li Zicheng did not need to be attacked by the army. Those officials and young men rushed up with ladders on their own, and when the Shun army bombarded them with mortars, they roared and swarmed up like ants on a cake, and in the blink of an eye they rushed up the city wall. The old, weak, sick and disabled of the Eight Banners were like wooden sheds blocking the front of the storm surge in front of them, and they disappeared into the sea of people in an instant, and then the sea of people poured into the city......

Then the last fortress outside the northern capital opened its doors to welcome King Chuang.

"Welcome King Qin to the Northern Capital!"

"Welcome to the King of Qin's recovery of the Northern Capital!"

……

Hundreds of people at the Lugou bridgehead knelt down and kowtowed to the ground, shouting at Li Zicheng's car.

On the bank of the river under the bridge, a large number of captured Eight Banners soldiers were being pressed down under the guillotine, and with a cheering sound, a guillotine fell, and the heads with rat tails fell into the river, and then their dead bodies were also thrown in. And in this applause, Li Zicheng's carriage also slowly drove onto the Lugou Bridge, and the King of Qin of the Ming Dynasty, who was standing on the car in the wind, looked into the distance, the golden armor shining in the sun, and the cloak hunting.

And in front of him, the billowing smoke ignited by the bombardment of the flowering bomb had already enveloped the northern capital...... ()
