The news that Ningyuan City was taken away by the remnants of the Ming army finally reached Dolgon's ears. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but Dolgon didn't care, he didn't mean to smile, "Hmph, little Ningyuan, the land of projectiles, how can you take away my Eight Banners ambition?" Pass the order! As soon as General Zu returns to the pass, he will immediately send troops to Beijing, and the remnants of the army will be defeated, how can I mess up my Central Plains plan! ”

As Zhu Qing expected, Dolgon didn't care about Ning Yuan, he definitely wouldn't waver in his idea of attacking Beijing for the sake of just Ning Yuan City!

But obviously, Dolgon didn't know that less than a day after the loss of Ningyuan City, Shengjing's barrier Jinzhou had also been recovered by the Ming army!

Dolgon, who was full of ambition, finally looked forward to returning to Zu Dashou, who had gone to explore the way, and Zu Dashou's 30,000 vanguard army did not find any traces of the Ming army on the way to Beijing.

The Ming army did not set up ambushes along the way, and nearly 800,000 troops withdrew, except for more than 100,000 Jinyi Wei troops who returned directly to Beijing, the remaining 560,000 people were under the leadership of Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui, and they were missing!

But Zu Dashou, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, still found clues on the road.

"Prince Yu, from Shanhaiguan to Beijing, no Ming army ambush was found." Zu Dashou replied, "It's not ......"

"But what?" Dolgon has great ambitions, but also pays attention to details, and it is obvious that Zu Dashou's eyes and words tell him that the next words are the greatest value of Zu Dashou's trip.

"Prince Hui, the last general found a strange trace on the fork in the road on the outskirts of Beijing." Zu Dashou responded.

"Oh? What's unusual? Dorgon asked.

"In the northwest of the fork road in the suburbs of Beijing, there seem to be traces of a large group of people passing by, although some people deliberately cover up those traces, but judging from the decades of battlefield experience of the last general, there are indeed large troops passing through that place!" Zu Dashou said firmly, thinking that he was very confident in his judgment.

Dolgon nodded, Shanhaiguan can be easily captured, Zu Dashou has made great contributions, the more prominent Zu Dashou's military achievements on the side of the Qing army, the more difficult it is to turn back, Dolgon feels that now the Qing army, Zu Dashou has nowhere to go, so there is no need for him to lie to himself.

"Has General Zu ever sent someone to track down this road?" Dorgon asked.

Zu Dashou nodded, "Of course!" But further ahead is the Beijing suburban store, that is the territory of Jinyiwei, from the fork in the road to the Beijing suburban store has not found any abnormality, it can be seen that the group of people is by no means Jinyiwei! It is likely to be Li Zicheng's army! Zu Dashou analyzed.

Dolgon nodded, although he had never really fought with Li Zijing face-to-face, but he had to admit that if it weren't for this person who had never met and was also an enemy and friend to disturb the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army would not have had the opportunity to covet the Central Plains, at least, the opportunity would not have come so quickly and so well. He now has to pay attention to this Han man who had inadvertently helped the Manchus!

"Good! Whether it is Li Zicheng or Wu Sangui, since there is a situation in the northwest corner of the fork road, when the army goes south, we only need to send an elite army to guard the fortress at the junction, even if the enemy kills back the horse pistol, it will not affect our hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Beijing! "Dolgon quickly came up with a solution!

"The prince is wise!" Duoduo and Zu Dashou and other generals shouted in unison.

Dolgon's confidence was greatly increased, and the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry had several days of rest and full preparation for clearing the wreck, so he finally had the urge to do a big job!

Standing on the gate city, Dolgon looked back at the majestic Central Plains, and his heart swelled with all kinds of pride!

"All the soldiers obey the order!" Dolgon shouted and ordered, "The whole army is fully equipped, Duoduo is the vanguard, and the rest of the troops follow this king to the south to conquer Beijing and enter the Central Plains!" ”

"Southern expedition to Beijing! Enter the Central Plains! "Under the rendering of Dolgon, under the instigation of Tudor and others, the morale of the Manchu army was high! Shake Shanhaiguan into a tsunami! The arrogance of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is in stark contrast to the silent Zhonghun Mountain, and those dead Ming warriors seem to be watching the endless arrogance of the enemy in the other world but helpless, only to shake off the fallen leaves of Zhonghun Mountain to show their grief and indignation!

"Let's go!" After the arrogant cry, Dolgon suddenly pulled out his broadsword, angrily pointed at the Loyal Soul Mountain, and shouted, and the Qing army poured out of the gate like a flood of beasts, marched into the Central Plains, and waved to Beijing!

"Woo woo woo ......" The wind rises and loyals the soul mountain, and the Tartars offend me and I am in the middle of China! There is a mountain wind echoing in the sky of the towering Loyal Soul Mountain, and the once iron pass collapsed in an instant!

Dolgon led an army of a million to the south.

At this moment, the Ming court, which was able to breathe and prepare, also began a large-scale southward migration! It's just that compared with the previous capital moves, this move to the south seems a little hasty, embarrassed and sad!

Escorted by the southward migration guards, the princes of the Ming court, the princesses, the emperor's relatives, the ministers and a retinue set out from Beijing and moved to Nanjing, of course, except for some of the ordering utensils that Chongzhen needed, almost all the important people in the palace followed the princes to the south!

No matter how Tian and Chongzhen persuaded her, Empress Zhou refused to leave, and in desperation, Chongzhen allowed the empress and the other two concubines to stay! People who really want to leave can't go! Frightened, the two concubines knelt down and begged Queen Zhou to give up their places, but this kind of behavior could only make them die faster!

There is also a woman who was originally leaving, Ning'er!

When Suzaku conveyed Zhu Qing's meaning to Ning'er and asked her to follow the team to move south, Ning'er refused without thinking.

"The most important people in my life will meet here, and I'm not going anywhere!" Ning'er cut the railway, Ning'er was very well-behaved when she was obedient, but she couldn't help others when she was angry, after all, she was once a grid on the grassland!

But the other woman was different! That is Chen Yuanyuan, Chen Yuanyuan did not wait for Zhu Qing, nor did he wait for Wu Sangui, Chongzhen had no time to take care of her, in her opinion, there is nothing worth her nostalgia in the capital, and besides, if she stays, she may die! Chen Yuanyuan can not be afraid of death, but she doesn't want to die yet. After persuading Ning Er to no avail, she and Suzaku stepped into the carriage of the southward migration!

"Let's go!" Chongzhen waved his hand with tears! Then he turned around and went back to the palace, letting the thousands of shouts behind him "Father!" Queen mother! ...... "I can't bear to look back!" For them, this may be the way to say goodbye! The only hope is that these princes who went south can recover the Ming Dynasty that is about to come to an end!

History is sometimes so sudden, so ironic, and so ruthless, that those who once enjoyed all the wealth of the world in the courtyard of the deep palace have one day become homeless outcasts!

The southward migration army left before the arrival of the Qing army, and the brigade led by Dongfang Bai, Yan Shi Niang, Zhu Que and others knew that the Qing army would not leave them too much time, so they did not stop from the beginning and quickly arrived in Tianjin! This is perhaps the biggest surprise! Instead of going by land, the army of the southward migration decided to go by water!

They boarded the battleship that had been waiting in the port of Tianjin! This is specially prepared by Killing Wind to order the black evil! Because Zhu Qing's suggestion to Suzaku was to let him move south to Nanjing by water, which could not only avoid the pursuit of the Qing army, but also avoid the infestation of the displaced people on the road. And the one who escorted them was the White Lotus Sect that had once been uncommon to them!

Of course, the White Lotus Sect would not come forward, and after Xu Hongfei assigned two or two warships to Heisha, he led the fleet to meet the southward migration army. And this battleship was the spoils obtained by Zhu Qing and the White Lotus Sect when they joined forces to defeat the Japanese Invaders, from the original ten ships, to now it has grown to eighteen fleets! This is also an important reason why Zhu Qing successively sent Lin Bai and Hei Sha to dock with Xu Hongfei!

I didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly!

After escorting the southward migration army out of the port, all the factory guards of the Tianjin headquarters rushed to Beijing to assist in the defense of the city!

Just when the Ming court moved south and the Qing army moved south, the Ming army, which had already captured Jinzhou, did not slack off at all! For them, there may be hope of maneuvering to attack Shengjing before Dolgon captures the city of Beijing!

"Straighten out the army! Send troops to Shengjing immediately! Zhu Qing ordered the Ming army who had just captured Jinzhou!

Two battles and two victories, successively recovered Ningyuan and Jinzhou, although compared with the previous achievements are not so significant, the major event is still very effective in inspiring the army!

What's more, this time it's the Qing army's lair that is going to be hit! This is a rare battle! This battle is won, not only can save the Ming Dynasty, but it is more likely to be promoted to the prime minister, which can be described as a battle to become famous!

And if you defeat it, you will definitely die! So Zhu Qing said, "This is a battle against the water, and all the honor and disgrace of life and death will start from this moment!" Are you afraid?! ”

"Don't be afraid! Don't shoot! Unafraid! ...... "The arrogance of revenge and the dignity of the nation have turned into endless motivation at this moment!" The originally silent city of Jinzhou is boiling!

"Let's go!" Zhu Qing waved the knife and roared, and the embroidered spring knife pointed out, although it was far away, it would be punished!

In addition to the 100 guards left behind in Jinzhou City as a liaison, the rest of the Ming army waved to Shengjing. The 50,000-strong army captured the war horses of Jinzhou City and attacked Shengjing non-stop, which was a race related to the rise and fall of honor and disgrace!

But halfway to Shengjing, Zhu Qing ran into big trouble! A force of about 30,000 people suddenly appeared in front of the Ming army, and it seemed that they had heard about the attack on Jinzhou and came to reinforce it!

But this army is obviously different from the traditional Qing army, especially the military uniform, which turned out to be the dress of the Ming army!

Zhu Qing didn't dare to be careless! Immediately disperse the army and hide it. Then Zhu Qing said to Lin Bai, "You and Tie Mian go to investigate and touch the bottom of the place!" ”

Lin Bai and Tie Mian took the order, these two people moved and stood still, just complementing each other, and they had both courage and mind when they were investigating! In less than half an hour, the situation of the enemy was clarified, and the two returned to report to Zhu Qing.

"Damn, dog traitor! It's Geng Jingzhong and his gang! Lin Bai said indignantly!

Zhu Qing glanced at Tie Mian suspiciously, he thought that Geng Jingzhong had already followed Dolgon into the customs!

But Iron Mask also nodded! Zhu Qing knew that it was the traitor Geng Jingzhong, and there was no doubt about it!

"However, the subordinates surnamed Geng don't seem to have much spirit! Presumably he was forced to send troops by Geng Jingzhong! Tie Mian's words suddenly made Zhu Qing's eyes light up.

"I have heard that Geng Jingzhong has a good relationship with Dolgon, but the military regulations are also very strict, I don't know why they sent troops this time? Revisit! Zhu Qing was puzzled, so he gave another order.

"General, I traveled outside the border to practice medicine earlier, and I heard that Geng Jingzhong had a quirk." Wu Youke, the doctor accompanying the army, suddenly said to Zhu Qing.

"Oh? Sir, please speak! Zhu Qing exclaimed.

"This Geng Jingzhong is proud of his high merits, and every time he fights, he invites the Qing court without stopping, and the Qing court is very obedient to him, but before every battle, Geng Jingzhong will be asked to make a military order, if it is done, the reward will be as Geng wishes, if it misses, he will be demoted to the knight, and he will be killed! It's strange to say, this Geng Jingzhong almost wins every battle, even if he loses, he can withdraw in time, and the loss is very small, so he is comfortable in front of the Qing court! Wu Youke said.

After Zhu Qing heard this, he nodded thoughtfully, "In this way, Geng Jingzhong should have made a military order with the Qing court when he sent troops this time." ”

"Nine times out of ten, that's true. I just saw that although Geng's subordinates were sluggish, Geng was extremely hot, and he must have been involved! Iron Mask replied.

While he was talking, Lin Bai, who went to spy on him, came back again!

"How?" Cheng Li asked.

"Sure enough, as the general expected, the fruit surnamed Geng sent troops to support Jinzhou. I don't know why, I keep scolding my subordinates! Lin Bai responded.

When Zhu Qing heard this, the corner of his mouth smiled, "I have a way!" As he spoke, he and his subordinates took a set of military uniforms that had been prepared to disguise the Qing army and put them on their bodies, and then galloped towards Geng Jingzhong!

"General!"

"Big brother!"

"Green Dragon!"

The soldiers exclaimed!

But Zhu Qing had already rushed in front of Geng Jingzhong.

"Report!" Zhu Qing hurried to the side of the horse and shouted!

Geng Jingzhong thought it was his spies, so he was defenseless.

When Zhu Qing rushed to Geng Jingzhong and jumped from the back of the wind chasing horse with lightning speed and waved a knife on Geng Jingzhong's neck, Geng Jingzhong was shocked, "Jinyiwei?!" ”
