Chapter 594: The benefits of firearms are worlds apart
"Fujin Guannei and Dadongguan are inlaid with red flags, Neizhimen and Xiaodongguan are red flags, Desheng Gate and Da Nanguan are inlaid with yellow flags, Tianyou Gate and Xiaonanguan are inlaid with blue flags, and Wai Men and Xiaosiguan are inlaid with yellow flags, and the white flags in the Dizaimen and Xiaobeiguan are all betraying our Qing Dynasty."
In the palace, in addition to the Zhenghuang Banner Baya soldiers who were arranging defenses everywhere outside and the Zhenghong Banner Manchurian Bannermen who were constantly withdrawing in, there were also most of the palace maids and eunuchs running around like headless flies.
Listening to Du Tong's report, Shunzhi, who was only six years old, looked a little overwhelmed, raised his head and pulled the hand of the dignified woman.
When Xiaozhuang heard the news, although he was shocked, he didn't feel panic, but he was very angry:
"I treat them well on weekdays, why betray them?"
Hearing this, Fang Cai Natong smiled, "The Queen Mother doesn't know, those Han dogs are despicable and greedy, once there is any trouble, this betrayal is also reasonable, if it is not the right regent......"
"Hmm." When Xiaozhuang heard what Dolgon said, he immediately frowned, and did not dwell on this issue, and interrupted without waiting for Nadu to finish:
"What are you running around about, the Han people haven't come in yet, they all go up to the Phoenix Tower with the palace and the emperor to take a look, Leercai, why hasn't Dai Shan come yet?"
Leer only knew about the rumors between Xiaozhuang and Dolgon, and as soon as he mentioned Dolgon, Xiaozhuang reacted again, and immediately felt that eight or nine were inseparable.
But no matter what she thought in her heart, Xiaozhuang was still the queen mother, and hurriedly replied:
"The servant has already ordered someone to go to the palace, and he must be on the way at this time."
......
The palace is a little different from Beijing, it is many grades worse in terms of style, land occupation and majesty, and it is almost built on a mountain or a halfway slope.
The reason why the palace was built in such a strange way was because of the Jurchen living habits, and on the other hand, it was because they thought that it was convenient to keep an eye on the enemy's situation at a high place, and always be vigilant against the incoming enemy to protect their own safety.
In the final analysis, it is still bound by the rules of the deep mountains and old forests in the past, and it is easy not to innovate.
Therefore, whether it is in Jianzhou Laoying, Hetuala, Jiefan Mountain City, Salhu Mountain City, or Liaoyang Tokyo City, this is true of any palace built by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Fang Cai Xiaozhuang said that the phoenix tower is the first rammed earth piled up more than three meters of high platform, and then built on the high platform, the platform is surrounded by a wall and patrol road, like a closed castle.
The Phoenix Tower is the commanding height in Shengjing City, and you can see the whole picture of Shengjing City when you stand on it.
Shengjing is located in the plain, but the Manchu Qing still spent a lot of effort to build this palace on top of the Khan's palace, and the Zhenghongqi defenders who retreated into the palace have already set up a defensive line at the Daqing Gate, thinking that they can take advantage of this to resist.
The upper beam frame of the phoenix floor is decorated with a red ground gold dragon color painting, and the middle floor indoor flowers are Sanskrit, phoenix and seal book "longevity without borders" pattern, it is a rare Han family building in Shengjing Imperial Palace, at this time, from which there is a sigh of sighing.
"Is Daishan here?"
A group of palace maids and eunuchs were on the Phoenix Tower, and Xiaozhuang held the six-year-old Fulin in one hand, looked at the chaos in Shengjing City, and asked out loud for the third time.
Leer Cai and the Baya Lazhangjing beside him looked at each other, but they were silent, Xiaozhuang understood what it meant when he heard that there was no movement, and sighed and stopped asking.
"Imperial Mother, what's going on next?"
Fu Lin seemed very scared, he and Xiaozhuang often came here to rest, and Xiaozhuang would personally teach him some calligraphy and poetry in the Central Plains, so as to prepare for the future entry into the Central Plains.
The scenery of this Phoenix Tower is the best in the entire palace, and only here, Xiaozhuang can feel a trace of the feeling of being the queen mother, although the palace is not bad, but it is too small.
I heard that the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains is magnificent, with gold bricks and jasper, so Xiaozhuang has always wanted to go in and try it for himself to see what the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty looks like.
Now, the smoke is billowing in Shengjing City, in the dark night, there is fire everywhere, and the sound of killing is getting closer and closer, Xiaozhuang has never felt so stormy.
Mo said that if he enters the Central Plains, it is likely that he will not be able to keep the prosperity of Kyoto.
"The emperor is good~, there is some chaos in the city, with your second uncle watching, it shouldn't take long to calm down." Although Xiaozhuang tried to comfort Fu Lin like this, her face was not relaxed.
Judging from the news that came, the soldiers and horses that attacked the city were the Qi army that had often been heard about before, and the massacre of Hetuara was from the hand of Wang Zheng, who was really the enemy of the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty.
At that time, Xiaozhuang accompanied Huang Taiji to rush back to Xingjing, and she still can't forget the scene she saw.
The city and the outside of the city were full of corpses, and the headless body of Huang Taiji's sister hung at the head of the city, and the angry Huang Taiji spurted out a mouthful of black blood on the spot, and it took a few days to get better after being unconscious.
It is said that the army only stayed for a few days, but the Xingjing City that Xiaozhuang saw was almost completely depleted, and according to later statistics, there were less than 2,000 banner men who survived.
At first, there were tens of thousands of bannermen in the city, but in the end less than 2,000 people survived, what kind of concept is this, it is simply an unprecedented massacre.
Since the founding of Nurhachi, they have never suffered such a loss, and until now, there are no banner people living on the side of Hetuala, and it has become a forbidden place for Manchurians.
As soon as he thought of this, Xiaozhuang heard a rush of footsteps outside, mixed with the clanging sound of armor leaves slamming together.
Without thinking too much, Xiaozhuang immediately understood what was going on, and asked lightly:
"Oh, it's Uncle Huang who is here, has the mess been dealt with?"
"It's not good to deal with it...... Dai Shan was sweating profusely, he had been in politics for many years, and he even put on that full-body armor again for the first time, "Queen Mother, hurry up and withdraw from the city from Jiumen, the Qi army is about to come in." ”
Hearing Dai Shan and those Beile generals who were in the red flag say this, Xiaozhuang sighed, "Uncle Huang, how can you say this, Shengjing is the foundation of my Great Qing Dynasty, how much bitter blood has been condensed, how can you run away like this?" ”
"Oh, my queen mother!" Dai Shan jumped anxiously and kept kowtowing, "You and the emperor are the foundation of my Qing Dynasty, if we are caught by the Qi army, we will be finished!" ”
"No, if the palace doesn't leave, the emperor won't leave!!"
Xiaozhuang had just finished shouting this sentence, and immediately a cow with a red flag ran back, didn't even hold the crooked helmet, knelt down and shouted:
"Regent, Queen Mother, the Great Qing Gate has been breached, the Great Qing Gate has been breached!"
Dai Shan was shocked when he heard this, grabbed the blood-covered Niu Lu, and roared:
"Can't you guys hold on to your rice buckets for even an hour?"
Niu Lu said with deep fear, but at this time, he was not afraid of Dai Shan, and shouted in a daze:
"Regent, there are Qi troops everywhere, in addition to the firecrackers, some people even push iron cannons, and the Daqing Gate is to be blown up!"
"What did you say!?"
Dai Shan didn't even care about Xiaozhuang and Fulin at the moment, and ran to the top floor of the Phoenix Tower with Leer to look down, but saw that countless fires were converging towards the palace, and the shouts of killing had reached the bottom of his nose.
Among them, there were some firelights that were moving rapidly throughout the city, obviously cavalry, and in addition, a group of firelights stopped at the palace gate on the lowest floor of the Phoenix Tower.
"Put!"
With a shout below, suddenly, a loud noise shook the entire Shengjing City.
"Bang-"
