Chapter 166 The people of the Northern Capital welcome the king

Beijing.

"Panic what!"

In the Governor's Mansion of Zhili, Wu Ruyi, who was left behind, shouted at the chaotic scene.

The civil and military officials looked at him together.

Wu Ruyi, who was seated in the center, looked at them indifferently and said: "The army of Yan Gong is only three hundred miles, and the cavalry can return in two days, even if Jiannu seizes Juyong Pass to block its way back, there are still 30,000 troops in Ningning, and Li Laiheng's cavalry can return in six days, and his 10,000 cavalry is enough to fight with Jiannu in the field, and there are 10,000 soldiers in this Beijing city, and 100,000 can be obtained by searching for young and strong, and countless ordnance in countless cannon warehouses on the city wall, how can it not be held for ten days and a half months?" ”

"But Jiannu has an army of 100,000!"

Said one of the generals.

"An army of 100,000? After the Battle of Shanhaiguan, there are still 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers in the Eight Banners at most, and even if there are supplements, there are some newly attached Koreans, so even if there are really 100,000, what is there to fear? ”

Wu Ruyi said.

"Not even a few cannons came to attack the city?"

He then said disdainfully.

In fact, in his opinion, Dolgon is not to fight Beijing at all, it is nothing more than to loot some property and grain as in the past, the Qing army did not grab much grain to fight North Korea, there is also no surplus grain to grab, and the vast majority of the North Koreans themselves are not full of food, especially because of the mountains and the continuous resistance in the occupied areas, so far the main rice producing areas in the south have not been taken, and the imports are almost cut off, the life of the Qing army is becoming more and more difficult.

It is said that last winter he even ate Korean prisoners as food!

In this case, it is normal to make a desperate gamble to loot and avoid starvation, for such an enemy, as long as you hold on, and when the army of the king returns, Dolgon will have only a dead end.

The generals were much calmer.

"That's right, Jiannu is just sending himself to death this time, why do you care?"

There was a shout outside the door.

Immediately afterwards a civil servant entered, followed by four domestic slaves, one of whom held a tray covered with a red cloth, and what it did not know what it was.

"Feng Fu Yin."

The generals greeted each other.

"Feng Fuyin, this is?"

Wu Ruyi looked at him suspiciously.

Originally, in history, our Qing Dynasty Taibao, a scholar and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, was once famous for a special *****, and now Feng Quan, who is the Yin of the Shuntian Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, smiled mysteriously, and then said: "Good thing, I recently got a few treasures to share with you." ”

"Then we're going to see!"

Wu Ruyi said with a smile.

Their personal relationship is okay, Feng Quan is Wei Zhongxian's party, who was originally dismissed from his post at home, but was activated because he was good at drilling camps and climbed to Niu Jinxing.

Feng Quan waved to the four house slaves.

The latter immediately held the tray forward, Wu Ruyi and the generals all looked at the tray in their hands with curiosity, but at this moment, there was a sudden explosion outside like the sky was cracking, Wu Ruyi subconsciously stood up and looked out at the same time as those generals. Feng Quan's face suddenly showed a strange smile, and almost at the same time, the four house slaves lifted the red cloth as fast as they could, and then picked up the reed wheel short gun from the tray, and at the moment when Wu Ruyi bowed his head in amazement, he aimed at him and pulled the trigger at the same time.

Three reed guns suddenly erupted in flames, and three bullets hit him accurately in the chest.

The huge impact force pushed Wu Ruyi down on the seat at once.

There was an instant silence in the hall.

"You dog thief!"

One of the generals suddenly came to his senses, drew his sword and roared angrily.

Immediately after that, all the generals drew their swords.

Even the guards outside rushed in with knives in hand.

Feng Quan smiled and didn't move.

"Everyone, I want to ask, what are you following Li Zicheng for?"

He said with a smile.

As he spoke, he raised his hands in a gesture of being slaughtered.

The generals looked at each other.

"Is it really to share the wealth and poverty with those mud-legged people? If that's the case, please cut me into pieces, but before I am cut into pieces, I still want to say, are you really for that? Who doesn't want to have a family of wealth, thousands of acres of fertile land, surrounded by concubines and beauties, and enjoy the wealth and glory of the world? Who doesn't want to be as rich and well-fed as those wealthy nobles who have been raided by you? But where does their wealth come from? land, they all have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of acres of land. Then I'm curious, will King Chuang give it to you? You have laid down the world for him, but he wants to give the land to the poor, and the land should have been given to you. ”

Feng Quan said.

The knife in the hand of one of the generals hung down.

Feng Quan glanced at him with a confident smile.

"Li Zicheng wants to be an official for money, Li Zicheng is not allowed to be an official for money, Li Zicheng also requires that those who become officials in the future pay taxes like mud legs, then I am really very curious, what are you doing with him desperately to fight the world? The powerful don't annex land, and the officials don't talk about money, so what do you do as the powerful and officials? ”

He continued.

"You, you don't want to demagogue!"

One of the generals said in a feeble tone.

"Then please kill me, and then fight to the end with the Qing army outside, and then establish a new dynasty for Li Zicheng, you don't want 10,000 acres of fertile land, you are not greedy for a penny of silver, you and the mud legs farm and pay taxes together, wear coarse cloth clothes, and guard the yellow-faced old wife to live the same life as the mud legs. Is this what you want, is this what you are going to buy with blood? You are so great, the ancient sages could not do it! ”

Feng Quan scoffed.

The generals looked at each other and then involuntarily lowered their swords.

"Or, you have another choice."

Feng Quan continued: "Open the city gate, let Dolgon's army enter the city, and then he will tear the land and seal the territory so that you and your children and grandchildren can live the same life as those nobles who were raided by you, glory and wealth, fine clothes and food, and they can not be enjoyed for generations, you can annex the land, you don't have to pay taxes, you can make as much silver as you want, and this is worthy of your blood." ”

"King Chuang has hundreds of thousands of troops."

A general said with a lot of confidence.

"It's an army of hundreds of thousands without food, it's an army with hundreds of thousands of people without logistics, do you think Yang Qing will give him food? Besides, do you think you have a choice? Don't you want to know what that explosion was all about?

Feng Quan sneered.

East Gate.

In the smoke of gunpowder, Wu Weiying, who was originally respectful to the Qing Dynasty in history, opened his mouth wide and looked at the open city gate in front of him in amazement in the deafness caused by the explosion.

Not a hole to be exact.

Instead, the whole thing was blown up beyond recognition.

It was caused by the explosion of fifty pounds of gunpowder, and a young man who had been sent out by his allies for some reason that seemed unthinkable to him, carrying an oversized gunpowder bag made of fifty pounds of gunpowder, took advantage of the chaos to crash into the doorway, and then lit the fuse to create the explosion, easily opening the gates of the city that should have made them desperate.

Suddenly, countless chaotic voices crashed into his ears.

"Quick, one more!"

He grabbed a white-robed old man beside him and shouted.

"Don't forget what you promised."

The old man said.

"Don't worry, you are such a useful thug, the regent is stupid and won't be reused! Isn't it just to give you the same treatment as the Mongols gave you back then! Anyway, my ancestors are still Mongolians! After all, we are the same as the Regent, we are all family. ”

Wu Weihua said.

The old man waved his hand.

Next to him, a teenager carrying the same powder bag stepped forward.

"Go ahead!"

The old man said.

The young man nodded resolutely, then carried the gunpowder bag on his back, and took advantage of the chaos of the city gate being blown open, and when the house slaves of the noble gentry were fighting fiercely with the Shun troops coming down from the city wall, he shouted feverishly that he didn't know anything, and then crashed headlong into the smoke that was still in the hole of the city gate. Wu Weihua and the old man stared at the gunsmoke, at this time, the Shun armies on both sides were constantly approaching, and their house slaves were not enough in combat after all, although there were still some allies who were still losing ground with the help of others, but Wu Weihua didn't look at these at all, just stared at the city gate hole that was still pouring out the gunsmoke.

Suddenly, there was a flash of fire inside.

The next moment, the sound of an explosion that cracked the sky and the earth came with gunpowder smoke and dust, blowing around him like a violent wind.

Wu Weihua screamed.

At this time, among the Qing troops arrayed outside the city, Shang Kexi looked at the gate of the Dongbianmen urn city in amazement, like a cannon muzzle, from the city gate hole to shoot out of the fire smoke and fragments of the city gate, the huge explosion shook the city wall, and even the soldiers who were firing at them were shocked to the side of chaos.

The next moment a loud explosion shook his ears.

"Kill, God bless Daqing!"

He roared like madness.

The Qing troops in the array swarmed forward, they did not care about anything, the shield carts were abandoned, the cavalry in front of the infantry in the rear, ignoring the cannonballs and bullets fired from the city walls, they all ran like crazy, and soon the cavalry arrived first. At the same time, Wu Weihua was also driven out of it with people, they quickly put down the suspension bridge at the head of the bridge, and the Qing cavalry surged through and started a bloody battle with the Shun army who rushed out to block it, but the latter was not many in a hurry, and they were quickly killed and wounded under the impact of these Eight Banners who were almost crazy. Immediately after that, the first batch of Qing troops finally rushed into the gate of the urn city, and then more Qing troops followed by a steady stream of influx, and the city of Beijing was breached in less than half a day, and the iron hooves of the alien race finally stepped into the city again after a lapse of three hundred years.

At this time, the hateful gentry and civil officials in the city were pouring out of the streets and alleys like madness, greeting their holy lord Mingjun with cheers......

Although the back of the head of the Holy Lord Mingjun is a rat's tail.

But that's also the Holy Lord.

"Revenge, finally revenge, Li Zicheng, didn't you rob our family's silver, today Lao Tzu let you know that there is a price to pay!"

Wu Weihua screamed like crazy.

There was a shrill whistling, and then he was hit in the head by a bullet from his gun
