When the soldiers of the captive army on the city wall opened the city gate, and countless soldiers of the captive army rushed into the city of Beijing, it was announced that the capital of the Manchu Dynasty, which had ruled the land of China for more than 200 years, had been breached by the captive army!

No one expected that the city of Beijing would be breached so easily, almost effortlessly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Who would have thought that the Qing army that was originally guarding the city wall would be scattered, and the entire city wall and city gate would be empty?

Almost at the same time, the soldiers of the captives broke through the city gate from the west, south and east sides one after another, opened the Fucheng Gate, Zhengyang Gate, Xuanwu Gate and Chaoyang Gate, etc., and the captive army outside the city rushed into the city one after another.

In a mansion by the Shichahai Sea in Beijing. Shu Lunbao, the former general of Xi'an, sat in the pavilion in the back garden with the support of several maids.

Shu Lunbao has been recuperating in the palace since he was appointed as a general in Xi'an in June. Because he has no children, only a few concubines, and he usually doesn't go out, he relies on the maids and family members in the house to go out to buy food and clothing, and he has been sick in bed this month, so Shu Lunbao has never been clear about the situation in Beijing.

That morning, when his health was a little better, Shu Lunbao got out of bed and went to the back garden to admire the flowers that were about to die. Suddenly, a fierce shouting of killing was heard in the east direction of the mansion.

Shu Lunbao was startled and looked up, but he couldn't see anything. I didn't know how to find a maid. Shu Lunbao was about to summon several house slaves in the front yard in, but he heard that the front yard was suddenly rushed away, and a large group of flag soldiers rushed in.

"Who are you and what are you doing?" Shu Lunbao shouted, but because of his weak body, his voice was very weak.

Several arrogant Qing soldiers ignored them and rushed into the room in a hurry.

Several house slaves and guards in Shu Lunbao's mansion rushed forward to block them, but they were overturned by several Qing soldiers, one of whom also drew a saber and cut a house slave.

Then, several Qing soldiers hurriedly rummaged through the cabinets in the mansion, looking for gold and silver, and left the mansion in just half a pillar of incense. Before leaving, a Qing soldier leader saw Shu Lunbao and said, "Yellow flag? Looks like he's still a big official! I would like to remind you over there, just now, Beijing City has been attacked by Cantonese thieves and thieves in the south, so it's better to flee early! ”

After speaking, several Qing soldiers rushed into the mansion and went straight to Andingmen in the north of the city.

"What? The city of Beijing was breached by Cantonese thieves? Shu Lunbao was stunned! Only then did he realize that these Qing soldiers were no wonder so like deserters, they were actually defeated soldiers, and they were about to escape from Beijing.

It's just that he can't understand why he has been sick for a month, and such a shocking event has happened, and even the city of Beijing has been broken by thieves? That's impossible!

It must be those rebels talking nonsense!

However, Shu Lunbao didn't know why, but he strangely believed the words of the rebellious soldiers in his heart: If it weren't for the fact that the thieves broke through the city of Beijing, where would such a rebellious soldier break into the palace of the dignified Qing general?

Shu Lunbao didn't think long before he saw two house slaves who had gone out to buy rice and grain in the morning running in, shouting as they ran: "Master, it's not good, it's not good!" The thieves have broken through the city of Beijing! Everyone is running for their lives. ”

Shu Lunbao's heart sank to the bottom. He was about to ask a question when he heard a large crowd of people running through the street in front of the house. So, he asked the maid to help him, and as soon as he came to the gate of the mansion, he saw many bannermen and Mongolian bannermen in the black land, all hurrying to the north.

"What happened to this brother?" Shu Lunbao asked someone to stop a person with a red flag and make a sound.

"This master, seeing that you live here, you should also be the official of our bannerman, why don't you know yet? Hurry up and escape with us, tens of thousands of Cantonese thieves have broken through the city of Beijing and have already been killed! ”

After saying that, he turned his head and joined the flow of people fleeing north.

Shu Lunbao's ears only felt that they kept buzzing, and he kept circling the sentence: "Tens of thousands of thieves have broken through Beijing City and have already killed them!" ”

He was dizzy in his mind, and he was just thinking that the capital of the Qing Dynasty had been captured by thieves, and the Qing Dynasty was going to end! His weak body could no longer support him, and he lay down on the ground, slumped to the ground.

And more Manchurian and Mongolian nobles and ordinary flag soldiers who knew the news that Beijing City was attacked by thieves joined the fleeing crowd. Among them, a group of old and weak women and children who had no time to prepare were even more panicked, crying and screaming to find their relatives, and some were squeezed to the ground, and then trampled to death by the crowd that swarmed.

For a time, the city of Beijing was in chaos, and there were cries and shouts everywhere.

……

Kill! Kill the demons!

The officers and men of the Eighth Division who rushed into Fuchengmen, under the personal leadership of division commander Chen Tianshi, had already dispersed and killed along several streets and alleys centered on Fuchengmen to the east.

And Chen Tianshi led more than 1,000 soldiers to kill directly in the city along the central axis of Fuchengmen.

Greeted by a group of Mongolian banner soldiers, all of them were untidy, but there were no blades in their hands, and some were just gold and silver jewelry, or antique calligraphy and paintings.

"Kill......" Chen Tianshi shouted. During the siege of the city for two consecutive days, the soldiers of his Eighth Division suffered hundreds of casualties, so he was full of hatred for the Qing soldiers in the city and wanted to kill them!

Stimulated by his frenzied slogans, the soldiers of the captive army were like hungry wolves, their eyes glowing green, and they pulled the triggers of the muskets in their hands one after another, banging and banging.

Before the more than 100 Mongolian banner soldiers could turn around, seventy or eighty people fell in a pool of blood, and the remaining forty or so screamed in horror and wanted to run, but where could they run faster than bullets?

Then a banging sound sounded, and the remaining dozens of people also fell in a pool of blood.

Chen Tianshi, who killed the red-eyed, led his subordinates to continue to advance towards the inner city, red-eyed, and killed people when he saw them, anyway, the people living in this inner city were all Manmeng banner people.

Feng Yunshan in Liu Shengbang, Zuo Zongtang, Bai Huihuai, Carragher. Accompanied by Charles and others, they were in the camp tent of Sanbeizi Garden in the west of the city, discussing how to attack the city.

Feng Yunshan already knew that the Eighth Division had attacked the city several times in a row, but it had no effect, but it had lost a lot of men and horses. Therefore, he will Zuo Zongtang and Carragher. Charles and the others came to find a strategy for attacking the city.

"Holy King! The city of Beijing is broken! The Eighth Division has broken through the Fucheng Gate of the Qing Demon Lair! Suddenly, a herald rushed in, shouting excitedly.

"What? Already broken city? Feng Yunshan was shocked when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed, slapped the table and occupied it, rushed to the herald's side and grabbed his hand: "What you said is true?" Is the city of Beijing really broken? ”

"It's true!" The herald looked happy: "Division Commander Chen has already led the Eighth Division into the inner city of Beijing!" ”

"Let's go! Let's go to Beijing too! Feng Yunshan was overjoyed.

"Wait, Holy King, now that the city of Beijing is in chaos, the city is still calm, we are entering the city, so it is safer, in addition, the Holy King's entry into the city is a major event in the entire Holy Kingdom, we still need to be prepared and cautious!" Zuo Zongtang dissuaded.

Feng Yunshan nodded and agreed, although he really wanted to rush into Beijing City immediately and see what the imperial city of the Qing Dynasty looked like, but he knew that now was indeed not the time, if he did not bring troops into the city, in case while occupying Beijing City, his dignified holy king was injured by a group of Qing army soldiers, wouldn't it be a joke! However, when he brought troops into the city, the number of troops to capture the army was already small, and sending some more troops would undoubtedly add trouble to the rapid pacification of Beijing.

So, Feng Yunshan resisted the impulse in his heart.

At this time, the heralds of various divisions came to report one after another, and in the south, Luo Xuan led the Marine Corps of the 5th and 10th Divisions, and together with the 9th Division led by Tan Shaoguang, they also captured Zhengyangmen and Xuanwumen; To the east, Lin Fengxiang conquered Chaoyang Gate! The officers and men of all divisions are advancing into the city of Beijing!

The city of Beijing has all fallen under the iron army of the captive army!
