At the end of the battle of Duji on the 12th, it rained for three days in a row, Yonghui ran very fast, Feng Yinglian's troops arrived in Beijing from Changxindian after Yonghui ran out of Beijing, and failed to catch a single hair of Yonghui, and also mixed up the position of counselor of the camp left in Beijing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info arrived at the 17th brigade of the Han army arrived at a Qing soldier and did not pass through the state, and the second ** near the edge of Beijing.

Before that, the British army of Changxindian drove the front and rear feet of Emperor Yonghui to flee into the city of Beijing, and after the defeated troops in Tongzhou also fled north, they controlled the entire surrounding area of Beijing. This was the day before Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide one hundred and twenty-eight years ago.

It is said that on March 19 of that year, Li Chuang's army marched into the city of Beijing, and the princes and nobles of the city of Beijing, the ministers of civil and military affairs, except for a very few people, all knelt down in obedience and asked to surrender, and the Zhengyang Gate was opened on their own initiative. The only resistance Li Chuang's army encountered in the Forbidden City was a handful of internal eunuchs.

Chen Ming will be ready to enter Beijing City tomorrow. It is naturally impossible for Beijing City, which is only an empty city, to play the trick of kneeling down and obeying the people with incense, but Ying Lian, who was appointed by Emperor Yonghui as the counselor of the Beijing Left-behind Battalion, tied up hundreds of Manchu army flags and bannermen from Fu Heng down, knelt in front of Chen Ming, and gave Fu Heng and other hundreds of bannermen.

"If you fail to capture Yonghui alive, you deserve death." Yonghui's momentary cowardice made him run to Chengde early beyond Yinglian's expectations, and Yinglian had scolded himself in his heart more than once in the past two days, slapping himself. He's a little late, that's it!

A great credit was let go by him in vain.

Although Yonghui still has a lot of guards around him, and some of the guards are the Eight Banners New Army, but there is also the Fu Han Army in the Ying Lian Army, which is still the troops of the Third Division, the first main force of the Fu Han Army. And the most important thing is that Feng Yinglian was unexpected!

The battle started, and even if Yonghui was really not captured, a part of the Qing army could be left. can also faintly flank Tongzhou with the main force of the Fu Han Army, and the Qing army that regathered in Tongzhou is the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Just as Chen Ming had predicted, the Eight Banners Infantry Cavalry in Tongzhou totaled more than 50,000 people, but after adding the remaining guards in Beijing, the strength of the troops increased to more than 60,000.

"Does Your Highness want to see Fu Heng?"

"He didn't scold you?" Chen Ming asked with interest. He Shen was killed by Ying Lian himself, and the old man in front of him, who was full of smiles on his face, was not as peaceful and harmless as he showed on his face in his heart.

Feng Yinglian smiled, how could Fu Heng not scold him. Feng Yinglian's ancestor was a native of Shenyang, belonging to the Han Army of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with a yellow flag, and he was a good dog of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for many generations, and he never expected that this old dog would violently devour the lord today.

"See what he's doing." Compared with Fu Heng, an old man in his fifties, Chen Ming was more curious about Feng Yinglian's granddaughter, who was He Shen's eldest wife.

"Yonghui emptied the city of Beijing. What about the books stored in the Hanlin Academy? "The "Siku Quanshu" has not yet had time to be compiled, but the "Yongle Canon" of Beijing City is stored in the Hanlin Academy. Although many of them are missing, they are still treasures. Moreover, in addition to the "Yongle Canon", there are also precious texts that have been handed down from the Ming Dynasty in the past. For Chinese culture, the vast collection of rare ancient books is more precious than hundreds of millions of taels of silver.

In the original time and space, the year when the Eight-Nation Alliance entered Beijing, the Hanlin Academy was burned down by a fire. No one can say who planted this fire.

The textbook compiled by the rabbit naturally pointed the finger at the eight-nation coalition army, but when the Internet era came, the tide of overturning cases swept the entire network, when black was a trend, and overturning cases was a kind of force, countless brick scholars and public intellectuals shouted - the fire was set by the Chinese themselves.

What reason is there to prove that this fire was planted by the Chinese themselves? - Some say it is Ganjun, some say it is Yihequan.

That 'evidence' is the account of many missionaries, Western scholars, and diplomats in China, including the famous American missionary and journalist Randt and the French minister to China at that time, Pichon, who was the French minister to China at that time.

Because the Hanlin Courtyard is next to the British Embassy? The Chinese wanted to attack the British embassy by burning the Hanlin Academy.

Chen Ming can't remember the detailed content of the disgusting posts he read that time, but he was very impressed by a report that is said to be the most detailed and reliable account of the burning of the Hanlin Academy, from a British journalist named Puhe Weir, who is said to be an absolutely upright person, who took it as his responsibility to 'witness' the real situation at that time, observed the situation everywhere every day, and recorded the personal witnesses into a diary, edited into a book, called "The Gengzi Embassy was Besieged". In that book, it seems to be writing a martial arts novel: "Yesterday there was a fireman, walking like a cat, using his dexterous operation to throw the fire like a Hanlin Courtyard, and in just one hour, the British Embassy, where the ministers lived, suddenly fell into a dangerous area. When the Chinese arsonists fled, they took cover from trees and houses, and while fleeing, they abandoned the oil-burning fires, and some escaped and set off guns. "Yes, on one side hide, abandon the tools of the crime, and on the other side run away and release the gun! Brain-dead.

Another English writer described it in a different way: for many centuries, the Hallym Academy ...... Its halls and courtyards are a gathering place for the best of Chinese scholars...... There are gorgeous carved wood eaves all over there. Diplomats were aware of the danger (i.e., the danger of being burned). But they felt that the Chinese's admiration for learning, tradition, and architectural beauty would prevent them from destroying by any means a library with the oldest and richest collection in the world!

What a great description, Chen Ming still remembers this paragraph vividly. Then, with a turn of the pen, the British writer who seemed to be called Frye or something, saw something that surprised him: the diplomats had once again been proven wrong. The Chinese lit a fire in the Hanlin Courtyard, and they methodically burned it from courtyard to courtyard. When the H-Christians led by Dong Fuxiang (referring to the "Gan Army" of the Qing court) opened fire violently through the smoke from the windows above, the roar drowned out the continuous gunfire. The ancient building burned like a flammable material in this roar......

The two Britons, Chen Ming didn't know who to trust even from a fair standpoint. What's more, his own position is unfair, and he is not a student of history, he doesn't know the real situation at the time, only that there is a rebuttal post saying that the Hanlin Academy was under the British army's police post at that time, and before the Hanlin Yuan was completely burned, there was a fire that was extinguished in less than half an hour, which seems to correspond to the first description, but the foreigners' descriptions of the burning of the Hanlin Academy seem to have been done at one time. Then the British envoy sent people into the Hanlin Yuan defense, and the British army took full control of the Hanlin Yuan and began to demolish many houses on the northern defense line.

Whether it's true or not, Chen Ming really can't tell. He just subconsciously didn't want to believe what those guys said who were downright in the tide of overturning the case, who ruthlessly belittled the quality of the Chinese people, and exalted the 'fairness, integrity and justice' of the foreigners. Whether it's historical or not, he thinks it's a bunch of garbage!

China practices its own sacredness, and Western scholars are 'indignant'. Placed in the historical context of the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, does it feel ridiculous? The quality of the Chinese is really low, and the sense of justice of the foreigners is really sufficient. Some people even say that foreigners took the risk of fighting the Hanlin Academy, especially the noble British gentlemen, because their supreme LinkedIn Minister Dou Nale issued a strict order to force the soldiers in the mansion to do things. Moreover, after the fire of the Hanlin Academy, the British minister first sent an urgent telegram to the Qing court, asking the Chinese government to come forward to rescue the Hanlin Academy and the manuscript. It was really a noble Europa gentleman to the extreme.

Such a 'case reversal post' directly dealt a ton of spiritual blow to Chen Ming, leaving too deep damage to Chen Ming. So in the face of the empty city of Beijing, he doesn't feel that there is anything to be angry about, those treasures should be his or his. On the contrary, he attaches great importance to the Hanlin Academy.

Chen Ming didn't ask about the Forbidden City, and he didn't ask about the Old Summer Palace, the first one to ask was the Hanlin Academy, Feng Yinglian didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment. It's complicated, it's emotional! "Everything in the Hanlin Academy is in good condition. The minister has sent people to guard day and night. ”

"Yonghui is in a hurry, and there are still a large number of gunpowder, iron, copper, saltpeter, sulfur, willow charcoal and other military raw materials in Beijing, as well as more than 100,000 stone grains and 200,000 bunches of forage ......."

Yonghui people are gone, I didn't think that Yinglian turned out to be a traitor, of course he wouldn't burn all the grain and grass materials, and now these have all become captured by the Fu Han army.

Less than 140,000 stone of grain is not much, but it is not a lot.

Chen Ming entered the city of Beijing, which is not considered to be a great achievement. The Manchus withdrew seventy or eighty thousand troops [and half of the guards that Beijing had previously distributed], which was a bit too much. Although some of the Mongol cavalry will continue to work for the Manchus after arriving in Chengde, no one can say for sure. But even if the Mongolian cavalry is removed, the strength of only the eight banners can have sixty or seventy thousand, right? Coupled with the Manchu soldiers and horses in the Northeast and Korea, as long as the puppet army in North Korea is counted, it will be more than 200,000.

After the rain stopped, Chen Ming used the recovered cavalry troops in the direction of Zunhua, where hundreds of thousands of Han Chinese were still waiting for the Han army to rescue them. Moreover, attacking Chengde from Zunhua is also much more advanced than going to Chengde from Beijing.

Only by limiting the fundamental strength of the Manchus to about 30,000 or 40,000 people is that this number is more reliable.

"There are so many eunuchs in Beijing City?"

Looking at another number that needed attention, Chen Ming had a headache. There were 3,200 people, what the hell, how could he remember that in his previous life, there was a book that said that there were less than 3,000 eunuchs in the Qianlong Dynasty? Yonghui's feet are anointed, and not a single eunuch will be taken away?

"Your Highness, this eunuch didn't say that you can enter the palace to do things after you are castrated. It is not clear how many of these 3,200 are white. Except for a small number of those who fled out of the city, the vast majority of these rootless people took advantage of the chaos a while ago and turned into the palace one after another, pretending to be gangsters. As soon as Feng Yinglian said this, Chen Ming understood.

"This should be carefully brushed up." It is better to remove all the eunuchs who were in power during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the newly castrated people should also be removed, who dares to guarantee that this is not a dead soldier left by the Manchu Dynasty? And those who were castrated by themselves before and failed to enter the palace can be more trusted. Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which claimed to have accepted more than 90,000 eunuchs from the former Ming Dynasty, did not have the emperor's elder brother being avenged by the eunuchs, but you must always be careful.

After Chen Hui moved the capital, he proposed to Chen Ming to use eunuchs and eunuchs, at that time, Chen Ming still had some trouble getting around, and Chen Hui himself also considered that he had just moved the capital, and the foundation had not yet been solidified, and the impact of the matter was really not very good. This matter is suppressed. But Chen Ming knew that this matter had always existed in Chen Hui's heart.

For the Chinese of this era, when they become emperors, of course, there must be eunuchs and palace maids to serve. This is not about morality or immorality, but a natural and natural thing. Chen Ming has always had a headache about this matter, and now it's okay, the ready-made eunuch is here.

Yinglian himself was born in Baoyiqi, and he has some understanding of this matter, and now among the 3,200 eunuchs inside and outside Beijing, at least 1,000 are white. The Qing Dynasty did not punish the rules of self-purification, and in the Ming Dynasty, anyone who was caught had to be "shackled for a month, beaten a hundred, and escorted back to their hometowns". Of course, this phenomenon was far less rampant in the Qing Dynasty than in the Ming Dynasty, after all, Zhu Ming's eunuchs were first-class. Twenty-four prisons, the inner minister, what a majesty. The Qing Dynasty came up with a Baoyi Banner and an Internal Affairs Office, which can be said to have really improved.

"There are more than 200 palace maids everywhere. All of them were brought out and put into custody for the time being. ”

The palace maids of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were all clothed in banners, and no matter how harmless they behaved, Chen Ming would not use them. It's just that the age of these palace maids is generally older, basically thirty-five or forty years old, and they are the kind of people who can't go back if they have a home, or don't want to go back.

For these women, Chen Ming will not throw them into labor camps again. But I haven't figured out the specific place for a while, so let's watch it first.

"Feng Yinglian, this name is not good, it smells of tartary. In my opinion, you will be called Feng Lian from now on. "The old man is about to be seventy years old, and in this era, this age is already buried in the loess to his neck, and he will not live for a few years.

Chen Ming changed his name, and Feng Yinglian, who had always carried a heart since he met Chen Ming, finally put his heart in his stomach. "Your Highness Xie gave the name." After today, he will be Feng Lian, not Feng Yinglian. This is the name personally given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Chen Han, who will dare to say that he is a clothed slave in the future?

It's like drinking a glass of clear ice water in the middle of summer, and the instant refreshment makes Yinglian fly up. Lost the troubles, lost the irritability, and an old heart became lighter.

Chen Ming picked up a roster given by Feng Lian, which was the roster and resume of all the officers above the division level under him. Chen Ming glanced at it and put it aside, "You go back and tell the officers under you that the matter of raising the flag has a reason, and it is a poisonous plan of the Tartars." The new dynasty is not violent, and it is a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong. Soon Nanjing will issue a notice, announcing that the world, the new flag will be regarded as a non-Eight Banners. ”

"But ah, this Beijing city is really a bit of a space. Yonghui swept away the good treasures of the Forbidden City and the Old Summer Palace. ”

"You go and choose one of the captives you have captured, and let him go to Chengde and tell Yonghui, so that Yonghui can obediently return all the treasures. They took those things to the Northeast for a wool use, can they buy food, or buy drink? ”

"The governor didn't want their real money, but all those treasures and antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and sent them back. Otherwise, this palace is too plain, and I will go to Dongling Xiling to find Shunzhi, Kangxi, and Yongzheng to get some things as decorations. ”

Qianlong did not bury the Yuling he prepared for himself, and Yonghui obviously had a bad premonition, so he sent someone to send Qianlong's coffin to the Rehe Palace in Chengde, that is, the summer resort.

However, there are also coffins of Empress Xiaoxianchun and Emperor Huixian, Emperor Zhemin, and Emperor Shujia in the Yuling Underground Palace.

Don't say that Chen Ming opened the mausoleums of Shunzhi, Kang Mazi, Yongzheng, Xiaozhuang and others, and let the wind through, let's just say that Chen Ming opened the coffins of the first queen and three imperial concubines in the Yuling underground palace to replenish the heat of the sun, and the face of the Manchu Qing Dynasty could be cleaner than the author's wallet.

No matter how deep Feng Lian was in the city, his face became unnatural at this moment.

Chen Ming only smiled at this, "Yesterday's cause, today's effect." The Tartars are too arrogant, and they deserve this fate. Look at the emperor's mausoleum in Mengyuan, how clean it has disappeared? The Tartars themselves don't learn from their predecessors, and they have to build the Eastern and Western Imperial Tombs, just like the Central Plains, where they can continue forever. Don't you deserve it now? ”

Chen Ming remembered very well that a considerable part of the wood and stone used in the imperial tombs of Qianlong and the previous Shunzhi, Kangxi, and Yongzheng dynasties were obtained by demolishing the buildings of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Tombs.

After the Tartars entered the customs, they ordered to destroy and loot the Ming Ming Tombs, and burned the Ming Ding Tomb, De Tomb and other mausoleums. The filial piety wood of Shunzhi mostly uses old materials, and the source of old materials is the large-scale demolition of Ming Dynasty buildings. The ceiling of its Longen Hall and Shinto Tablet Pavilion is confirmed by later generations to be from the Qingfu Palace, Jinfang Pavilion and Cuifang Pavilion built during the Jiajing period of Ming Shizong in Xiyuan, Beijing. The location of the two pavilions of this hall is the place where Ming Shizong did the dojo, and there were two pavilions of Danxin Gate and Jinfang and Cuifang in front of the main hall. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, when the Shunzhi filial piety tomb was built, the Qingfu Hall and the two pavilions were demolished, not only the Nanmu material was used to build the filial piety tomb, but even the ceiling was used in the filial piety tomb. Since then, the mausoleums of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties have demolished a large number of buildings in the Ming Dynasty one after another, and Qianlong also changed the large halls such as Dingling to small in the name of repairing the Ming Tombs, stole beams and replaced columns, and took high-quality wood and stone to build Yuling.

Now they deserve to be threatened by Chen Ming! What's more, those treasures in the Forbidden City and the Old Summer Palace are not their tartars.

"Tell Yonghui that the things should be sent back to the governor as quickly as possible, and don't play tricks on me. I don't have the heart to spend time with them on this. Either return the baby, or the governor will loosen the soil for the East and West Emperor's Tombs! (To be continued.) )
