Chapter 376: Arrival in Gyeonggi (Second Watch)

Although Bo Ritu made great contributions, the mission did not change, and he still escorted the prisoners of war to Yongqing. But Bo Ritu was very happy, although he could only do miscellaneous work at present, but Guo Xing'a was obviously satisfied. The most important thing is that Guo Xing'a sent the teaching corps of Gu'an, although there is no hardcore sadist Tan Shaoguang, but it is enough to organize his light cavalry brigade. Although Bo Ritu is currently a miscellaneous brand, it won't be long before he can become the main force again, and he can also be Gao Tan Shaoguang and others.

At first, Guo Xing'a didn't catch Shengbao, so he brought Shengbao's big flag, and prepared to use this flag to scare the soft-footed shrimp in the capital. However, now that Shengbao has arrived, according to everyone's opinion, this big flag is useless, but Guo Xinga is not ready to give up, he decided to fulfill his promise. When Guo Xing'a and Shengbao quarreled in Chengde, Guoxing'a once said that as long as Shengbao dared to fight in front of him again, he would hang Shengbao on the flagpole. Now that Katsubo has it, and the flagpole has it, all that's missing is a rope.

As when the Anglo-French army marched into Beijing, the Qing army did not have a fortification on the way from Tongzhou to the city of Beijing. Monk Greenqin also knew that it was useless to make a small fight, so he concentrated all his forces, and everyone went to the city to defend it, wanting to rely on the majestic walls of Beijing to block the raging Gu'an army. The morale of the descendants of Seng Lingqin was okay, although they were a little nervous, but the Mongolian * were not ready to bow to the Gu'an army. But the Rehe soldiers and horses brought by Chunyou are completely bad, these guys are grinding and grinding all the way from Rehe to Chengde, and they don't have any spirit after arriving in the capital, and they tremble every day like the end of the world. Just when the news came that the Gu'an army had set off from Tongzhou, the gang was completely chaotic and completely fell into a state of panic. Chunyou and Wang Yuchun and a few other fierce generals did not show any special panic, but it was better to panic! These people have arranged the aftermath, that is, they are ready to die for the country, and they are ready to be heroic at any time.

When Guo Xing'a pushed the Shengbao Daxu flag and arrived at the city of Beijing, everyone was stunned, and no one knew why Guo Xing'a wanted to hang a person on the Daxu flag. Guoxing Ah wanted to deter the defenders of the capital with Shengbao, but the distance was too far, and no one could see who was hanging on the flagpole, so naturally it did not play a deterrent role.

Guo Xing'a, who was a little lost, could only find someone to write a large banner and hang it around Shengbao's neck to mark Shengbao's identity. Now the capital is in chaos, many people are looking forward to Shengbao's army, waiting for Shengbao to attack Guoxinga before and after, but they didn't expect that Shengbao and his Daxu banner have become decorations for Guoxinga to show off their strength.

"Monk King, how is the deployment of the rebel army now?" Yi Xin heard that Shengbao was captured by Guoxing'a, so he deliberately ran to the Chaoyang Gate Tower to take a look, because he was also one of the people who had high hopes for Shengbao.

"The rebellious Gu'an army is now all stationed outside this Chaoyang Gate, and it has not besieged the Beijing Division, but its cavalry has been wandering in the suburbs, and it is not easy to send people out of the city." Monk Greenqin also sent some scouts out, although he couldn't look too closely, but he still knew the general situation.

"At present, the hearts of the people defending the city are the most important, and it is not yet time to discuss the transfer, otherwise the army's heart will be shaken, and it will be taken advantage of the rebellion!" Yi Xin shook his head, but also exposed his thoughts. Monk Greenqin said that "it is not easy to send people out of the city", referring to the scouts under his command, but Yixin directly thought of abandoning the Beijing division and fled. If you Yixin didn't already have this meaning in your heart, how could there be such a misunderstanding.

"Now that the North Canal has been frozen, Guowei has also started to use climbing plows to transport supplies on the ice. There are many horses in the rebel army, and although the ice transportation is more powerful than the water freight, it is not slow. Gyeonggi Prefecture is now all rebellious, and the rebel army has sufficient food and straw, and it may be difficult to retreat from the enemy for a while! Monk Lingqin was a little embarrassed by Yi Xin's unintentional meaning, so he could only change the topic.

"If the rebel army is attacking the city, I don't know how sure the monk king is?" Yi Xin also reacted that she had lost her words.

"Sixth Master, if you only fight in Chaoyangmen, the city wall of Lai Jingshi is high, and I can still protect Jingshi! But Guozhi is also known as the world's famous general, this is real, and the truth is false, and there are a few mysteries, but I am afraid that other city gates will be negligent! "The key problem with Monk Grinchen is that there are too few soldiers available, and too many waste snacks.

Yi Xin didn't speak, but retreated from the city, Monk Greenqin's meaning was very clear, and he didn't know the bottom. Monk Greenqin is bottomless, Yixin is even more bottomless, if the Jingshi is lost, Yixin really doesn't know where to go. So Yi Xin was going to go home first, gather his cronies, and hold a meeting to discuss what to do next. The Qing Dynasty has always had Beijing as its capital for 200 years since its founding, and now it is necessary to have a charter to suddenly move the capital. A swarm of bees to run, Lianggong and Yixin will definitely be able to run out, but the Manchu Dynasty can't run much. If they all fall into the hands of Guo Xing'a and Su Shun, these undisciplined guys will be rebellious. At that time, Yixin has a son of heaven and Sushun has courtiers, and the situation will be even more favorable to Sushun and Guoxinga.

"Boom, boom, boom......" Yi Xin had just walked not far when a deafening explosion suddenly came from behind. The earth shook constantly, and the tiles on the side of the street crackled and fell to the ground, and there was a lot of dust in the air. Because there are not many people on the streets of the closed city, but some shops are still open, this time the sky has changed, and it immediately caused a big chaos. The people cried and shouted for their mothers to run around, and the people who fled in all directions almost impulsively impulsed Yixin's sedan chair.

"What's wrong, is there an earthquake?" Yi Xin is quite stable.

"Uh......" The entourage couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, so naturally they couldn't answer Yixin.

"Report! …… Qi Yu Wangye, the rebel army shelled Chaoyang Gate, and the monk king is leading his troops to resist with all their might! Like a terracotta warrior, a soldier rushed to Yixin's sedan chair with a body of soil, and knelt on the ground to report.

"Go back to Chaoyangmen!" Yi Xin is a person who is both civil and military, and he doesn't know how many times stronger than Guoxing'a in terms of talent. Ten years of wasted years have caused something wrong with his personality, but the courage is still there, and he is still the brave prince.

By the time Yi Xin rushed back to Chaoyangmen, the shelling had stopped, but he did not have the effect of boosting morale, because the Gu'an army did not take advantage of the situation to attack the city. Chaoyangmen is also largely intact, and the Gu'an Army's shelling has not targeted Chaoyangmen, and they have been bombarding open spaces and houses near the moat. However, the situation in Chaoyangmen is also very miserable, there is mud everywhere, as if it is about to be buried. The soldiers have also become terracotta warriors, all covered in soil, and the monk Lingqin, who commanded on the front line, was no exception.

"How is the monk king? But the Gu'an army attacked the city? After Yi Xin found the terracotta version of the monk Grinqin, he asked eagerly.

"What did you say?" Monk Grinqin shouted back, he was almost deafened by the shelling just now, and his ears were still ringing.

"What's wrong with the monk king?" Yi Xin noticed that Monk Lingqin was now very much like an old man with his ears behind his ears, so he asked loudly again.

"The rebel army did not attack the city...... They want to clear the battlefield...... I also want to fill in the moat...... But they didn't use people...... With the cannon! Monk Lingqin couldn't speak well anymore, and he shouted out one by one.

"Ahh Yi Xin looked out of the city, and then he was startled.

The houses dotted outside Chaoyang Gate are gone, and although there are still some broken bricks, they are just rubble. Outside the once prosperous Chaoyang Gate, it is already a white field. Fortunately, in order to clear the wilderness, the imperial court moved all the residents outside the city to the city, otherwise there would be no few people left of thousands of people in this round of shelling just now. The moat, which was once wide and deep, has also been filled, although it is not very smooth, but it has become flat ground, and there is no protective effect.

"Sixth Master, think of a way! The artillery fire of the rebel army is too fierce, and this Beijing division can't hold it! "Monk Lingqin has recovered a lot, but his voice is still very loud.

Monk Lingqin had seen the artillery of foreign devils, and he originally thought that Guoxinga was the most powerful, that is, similar to foreign devils, but he didn't expect Guoxinga to be more powerful than foreign devils. This artillery seems to be able to destroy the heavens and the earth, and no matter how tall and thick Chaoyangmen is, it can't resist the bombardment of this thing. Even if Chaoyangmen could stand tall, the brave Mongolian cavalry would be flesh and blood, and they would really be unable to resist in the face of such ferocious artillery fire.

"Hmm!" Yi Xin nodded silently.

In less than a cup of tea, the Gu'an army turned the outside of Chaoyang Gate into a scorched earth with a single shelling, which was too powerful. Even if Seng Lingqin has three heads and six arms, he will definitely not be able to hold the Jingshi, and the proposal to move the capital must be put into action immediately. Once Guoxing explores the reality of the capital and attacks the army, the city may be broken overnight.

"Lord, there is an edict from the palace, and the queen mother of the two palaces is in a hurry to recruit the prince into the palace!" Yi Xin was still thinking about the city, and an entourage hurriedly ran over.

Yi Xin hurriedly said goodbye to the monk Lingqin and rushed to the palace. The earth-shattering sound of artillery just now, the inner palace must have heard it, thinking that the two queen mothers were panicked, so they hurriedly recruited themselves into the palace to inquire about the situation. Along the way, there were panicked officials and ordinary people running around, who were also worried about their future.

As soon as he saw the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, Yi Xin secretly screamed that it was not good, because this scene was too familiar to him. The two women were not anxious and irritable, they just sat together silently and wept, and when the two palaces returned to Beijing to deal with the eight ministers, it was exactly the same situation. Yi Xin bowed and said hello, the two women just kept crying, Yi Xin explained the current situation, and the two women still kept crying.

"The sixth master went to talk to the fifth child! It's all their own family, why bother like this? Yi Xin had nothing to say, and Cixi, who was crying so much, came to say this.

"Looking for the fifth brother?" Yi Xin was full of doubts, so her brain didn't keep up for a while, and she understood the "old five" in Cixi's mouth as Prince Xuan.

"It's the fifth brother!" Cixi pointed out Yixin's mistakes, and a few days ago, she was a "rebellious" Cixi, and she changed her words very thoroughly.

"Goxing?" Yi Xin felt that her head was a little unstable.

"You have a very personal friendship with him, I am his own sister, and they are all my own people, why do you want to be like this! If there's anything we can say, we can sit down and say it! The war is indispensable for the destruction of lives, and the people of Li are innocent! Cixi not only erased all the unhappiness, recalled the past of several people, but also began to care about the people.

"It's only one step away, how can Su Shun and Guo Xing'a be willing?" It's not that Yi Xin hasn't been without the idea of negotiating.

"Su Shun is Su Shun, and the fifth brother is the fifth brother!" Cixi is also more clever than Yi Xin.
