Chapter 186: The Great Qing Dynasty is coming to an end

In fact, when the battle is fought to this extent, people with a little knowledge know that Shengjing City will definitely not be able to hold it.

Although Shengjing has a Beijing character, whether it is the vastness of the city or the sturdiness and tallness, it is far from being comparable with the Beijing city that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have operated and strengthened and repaired for more than 200 years.

Moreover, the Qing soldiers were not good at attacking and defending cities, and they were better at field warfare.

But now that they have been killed by the Jiang family army in the field battle, they dare not open the city gate to go out of the city to fight. But defending the city is not what they are good at.

Moreover, the internal people are now different, and the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners, which have not yet surrendered, are now not trusted by the Manchurians, and there is no hope for the future, so they are already unable to work. As long as there is a suitable opportunity, they will surrender on their knees.

Not to mention these servant troops, even the Manchurian soldiers are now panicking from top to bottom, not only Daishan is thinking about running away, even Zierharang is also thinking about the same, and has already begun to tell his family to pack up the gold and silver, prepare a group of men and horses, and prepare to wait for the night to escape out of the city.

Until now, no one cares about the life or death of the little emperor and the queen mother in the palace.

In the eyes of all the Manchurian aristocracy, these two people had become a burden. They don't have the idea of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but they all know very well that once the city is broken, these two people will become a hot potato, and whoever gets involved will be unlucky.

The sign of the destruction of a country is naturally to break through its capital and capture its emperor. The reason is very simple, that's why no one wants to bother with these two.

The palace is also panicked now, and even eunuchs and palace maids have begun to flee.

The Manchu Empress Dowager Bumu Butai was actually anxious, walking around in her Yongfu Palace, but she didn't know what to do.

The six-year-old little emperor Fulin sat aside, watching his Eniang keep walking around, and asked timidly: "Eniang, are we about to die?" ”

Bumu Butai was stunned for a moment, and two lines of tears fell, and he hurriedly came over and hugged his son and comforted him softly: "Fulin, you are the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, Eniang is the queen mother of the Great Qing Kingdom, everyone in the Great Qing Kingdom must protect us, we will not die." Those thieves will soon be defeated by our Manchurian warriors. ”

Although Fu Lin is young, he is not easy to fool, and he blinked his eyes and said: "Eniang, I saw that many palace maids and eunuchs ran away, they carried their burdens, secretly opened the palace gate and ran. Many of the guards also ran away. If those thieves will be defeated by our Manchurian warriors, why should they still run? ”

Bu Mu Butai was stunned, he didn't know how to answer his son, he just hugged his son tightly and said, "Fu Lin is obedient, as long as Eniang is here, he will definitely not let you have anything to do." ”

The little emperor stopped talking, but nodded obediently.

After embracing his son for a while, Bumu Butai summoned his confidant eunuch and asked him to bring his letter to Dolgon, Prince Rui.

Although the eunuch knew that Dolgon had not woken up since his last serious injury, he did not ask much and left the palace with the letter.

Bumu Butai waited left and right, but he never waited for the henchman eunuch to come, his heart was angry and sour, and two lines of tears rolled out.

She knew that the eunuch must have run away.

She called again and again, but in the end there were only two or three palace maids who came in, and these were the old men who had followed her from Horqin to marry.

Looking at the three palace maids kneeling in front of him, looking at the desperate looks on their faces, Bumu Butai finally understood that the Qing Dynasty was completely finished.

"They are all up, and by this time, the mourning family will not lie to you. After the Qing Dynasty is over, this Shengjing City will soon be breached. Once the city is broken, the emperor and the mourning family will be the first targets of those thieves. The people in this palace are almost gone, so you should pack up and run away. You serve me, and I have nothing to reward you. Take everything you like in my Yongfu Palace, and I can be regarded as rewarding you for your hard work for so many years. ”

Bumu Butai sat on the couch, hugged the little emperor Fulin next to him, and said in an extremely calm tone.

Several palace maids looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces became even more desperate. One of the older palace maids took two steps forward and sobbed: "Queen Mother, we followed you all the way from Horqin to the capital of this province, watching you become the current queen mother from Concubine Zhuang, watching the emperor become the emperor from the ninth prince, and we have never left you for a day." If you want to drive us away now, where can we go? ”

"Yes, Queen Mother, I heard that there are enemies everywhere outside, and the entire Shengjing is surrounded by water, even if we run away, where can we go? Niangniang, if you give birth, we will give birth together. If you want to die, we are willing to die with you and the emperor! ”

"Mother, we won't leave your ...... even if we die"

Several palace maids cried as they spoke, and Bumu Butai, who was crying and felt that his heart was already desperate, couldn't help but be moved, and tears poured out again.

The little emperor Fulin on the side also cried.

On the day of the death of the country, the glory of the past turned into the desolation and despair of today.

The master and servant hugged their heads and cried for a while, and then their emotions gradually calmed down.

Bumu Butai was an assertive and courageous woman in the end, and picked up the little emperor and put him aside, allowing him to sit up straight.

He stood up and walked to the gorgeous mahogany dresser and sat down, looked at himself in the mirror that the Westerners said, and said lightly: "Zhu'er, come and dress up the palace for the last time." ”

The palace maid named Zhu'er was the eldest one, and when she heard this, she cried out again.

"Don't cry, come on, even if this palace is going to die, I have to maintain the last trace of dignity in my Qing Dynasty. Xiao Yue, Xiao Yuan, the two of you serve the emperor to change clothes and change into court clothes. ”

The two palace maids also cried, but looking at the Queen Mother who was sitting upright in front of the dresser with a calm and resolute face, they had to stop crying and get up and walk towards the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

In one of the rooms of the eastern courtyard of Prince Dorgon's house, on a large bed carved in mahogany, lay a tall, thin, pale-faced man, his eyes closed and motionless.

If it weren't for that one-sided chest, it would have been easy to think of a dead man.

On a low stool next to the large bed sat a young woman in a cheongsam, with tears on her face.

Perhaps too tired, he was lying on the edge of the bed and falling asleep, snoring slightly.

The whole palace was quiet and could not hear any extra sound, like a dead coffin.

Suddenly, the man's eyelids and eyelashes suddenly moved.

After a few moments, the man's eyes slowly opened.

After opening his eyes, he looked at the roof with a blank look, and his eyes continued to slowly turn downward, and finally saw the woman sleeping next to the bed, and after looking at it for a moment, there was a smile in his originally blank eyes.

"Spicy cabbage, spicy cabbage......" Dorgon called softly to the young woman.

The young woman moved, lifted up, and saw Dolgon, who was smiling at her with her eyes open, and then pounced on her, and hugged Dolgon and cried:

"Lord Wang, you have finally woken up, but our Qing Dynasty is about to end!"
