"So, Beijing City has fallen into Dongyi's hands?" Gao Hongtu, the head of the household department in Nanjing, asked slowly.

This is a huge flower hall, which is full of people, and the seats are full of red official robes. Looking at the complements on their chests, they are all high-ranking officials above the third grade.

Mao Xiang sat in an unknown corner and watched everyone, with a sense of horror in his heart. It can be said that the entire Nanjing major ministries and high-level officials have come. Of course, not all, for example, Ma Shiying, the squire of the military department, Liu Kongzhao, the commander of Caojiang, Liu Kongzhao, the eunuch left behind in Nanjing, and others did not attend, that is to say, none of the grandmothers of the Nanjing military.

That's right, all of you here are the backbone of the Donglin Party. Among them, Shi Kefa is the leader of Donglin.

Today's gathering in Shifu is simply a small court meeting, which makes Mao Xiang secretly frightened, feeling that tonight's meeting is likely to determine the future situation of the Ming Dynasty.

Since he was separated from Dong Xiaowan in Jingjiang, Mao Xiang was so sad that he couldn't help himself, he didn't think about tea and dinner day and night, and when no one was around, he cried a few times, and the whole person lost weight.

He knew that once Xiao Wan fell into the hands of the Japanese slaves, he would not be lucky with the ferocity of the Japanese slaves.

Seeing this close friend so sad, Fang Yizhi sighed and was sentimental, but on the surface, he severely reprimanded Mao Xiang, nothing more than that state affairs are already like this, and you are still thinking about the things of the wind and snow, not the work of a gentleman.

In order to send the grief in his heart for his friend, Fang Yizhi took him to see Shi Kefa and told Shi Shangshu about the situation in Beijing. As long as this person has something to do, the grief in his heart will be a little less, and he can also recommend Mao Xiang to Shi Xianzhi by the way

Shi Kefa heard Fang Yizhi say that the crown prince and the two kings of Yong and Ding had fallen into the hands of Li Zicheng, and knew that Nanjing could no longer wait for the direct bloodline of Emperor Chongzhen. Nowadays, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, and the most important thing is to choose a new monarch and rebuild the Ming Dynasty.

This matter is very important, and Fang Yizhi's character history can be trusted. But because the matter of the new monarch was related to the country, he hurriedly invited Gao Hongtu, the director of the Hanlin Academy, Jiang Yueguang, the secretary of the Zhan Shifu, Zhang Shenyan, the secretary of the ministry, Lu Daqi, the right attendant of the Nanjing Military Department, and Qian Qianyi, the former waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to invite a cadre of Donglin officials into the mansion.

"That's right, it was in front of me that I saw that I personally participated in the stone battle between the thieves and the Jiannu." In the Hanlin compiler, Fang Yizhi stood in front of the princes of Gon and said eloquently.

He had already said this question to Shi Kefa before, and this time it was even more fluent.

"After the thieves entered the capital, the Li thieves became strict torture and extortion of hundreds of officials...... Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, decided to surrender to the thieves, but at this time, the general Liu Zongmin robbed the Wu family, locked Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang in prison, and took Wu Sangui's concubine Chen Yuanyuan...... After hearing the news, Wu Sangui immediately sent troops to attack the thief Tang Tongbu. The Tang army was defeated and fled back to Beijing with only a few horsemen. ”

On April 13, Li Zicheng led 300,000 elite soldiers, known as 500,000 east out of Beijing. Wu Sangui was defeated and sent an envoy to Liaodong to ask Jiannu for help. Huang Taiji, the chief of Jiannunu, had suffered a sudden stroke on August 9, 16th year of Chongzhen, in the dormitory of the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Shenyang Imperial Palace, and died due to ineffective medical treatment. Now, although the Jiannu side has allowed Huang Taiji's son Fulin to ascend the throne, it is the pseudo-Rui prince Dolgon who actually holds the power. ”

"As early as after knowing that Beijing was attacked by thieves and that my Ming Dynasty was in chaos, the slave chief Dolgon was overjoyed, and ordered all men under the age of 70 and over to report to the barracks, and ordered people to contact the Mongolian side to come to the entourage to fight. On April 9, Dolgon led all the most capable generals such as Azig and Duoduo and the most loyal traitor troops such as Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi to lead more than 100,000 troops of Manchu, Mongolian, and Han armies with the rank of general. ”

"After receiving Wu Sangui's letter, Dolgon wanted to force Wu Sangui to surrender, and the two sides broke up unhappily."

"On the evening of April 21, the Jiannu army was stationed at a camp fifteen miles away from Shanhaiguan to watch."

On April 22, Wu Sangui and the thieves fought a decisive battle at Shanhaiguan, and the general Tang Tong led 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry to detour through the Great Wall and attack the Guanning army with Li Zicheng's thief army in the Guannei, and Li Zicheng personally led the elite cavalry to attack the frontal attack and began to attack on the east, north and west. However, the defenders of Shanhaiguan set up cannons on the city and bombarded the city, and the people's army suddenly suffered heavy casualties and was forced to temporarily retreat

。 ”

However, after a short rest, the thieves attacked again, this time with unprecedented viocity. The thief army relied on the superiority of numbers to attack without discouragement, and the defense line of Shihe was broken. At the same time, the thief army attacking the northern wing of the city took advantage of the condescending favorable terrain to launch a number of strong attacks, and the Ming army defending the city was led by Leng Yundeng, the deputy commander of Shanhaiguan, who was responsible for commanding the northern wing of the city, repeatedly repelled the people's army, but the same situation as the eastern side of the thief army repeatedly re-attacked. Fierce battle to the dawn of the second day, the thief army rushed straight to the city, some of the fast climbers have climbed the city and the Ming army on the city hand-to-hand combat, seeing that the north side can not be defended, Leng Yundeng led his own troops to block the attack and urgently asked Wu Sangui to send troops to support, fortunately, the reinforcements arrived in time to arrive in time, only to shoot down a large number of civilian troops who had climbed up to the city to the city. ”

At this time, Wu Sangui knew that there was no longer any possibility of holding Shanhaiguan, so he had to send an envoy to the Jiannu camp again and promised to surrender to the Liaodong puppet Qing. At this time, the slave chieftain Dolgon ordered the Jiannu army to move to Shanhaiguan, and at dawn, advanced to Huanxi Ridge, which was only four or five miles away from Shanhaiguan. ”

"The next day, in order to take Shanhaiguan as soon as possible, Li Thief Zicheng ordered 200,000 troops to go out on all fronts, in order to fully boost the morale of the soldiers, this time Li Zicheng also went to the front line in person to command the siege."

At the same time, Wu Sangui also led the main force out of the field battle. The two armies were fighting fiercely, and the Jiannu army suddenly crossed the Shanhai Pass and killed from behind the Great Wall. The thief army was caught off guard and collapsed, and was beheaded by Jiannu 10,000 levels, and captured countless people, and even Li Zicheng's fierce general Liu Zongmin was wounded by an arrow and almost died. ”

"On the day of entering the customs, the slave chief Dolgon named Wu Sangui as the puppet king of Pingxi, and ordered him to be the leader, chasing and killing Li Zicheng all the way, and leading the cavalry to the capital."

On April 30, Li Thief burned the palace and fled from Beijing with his rout, retreating to Xi'an. Now, Beijing Cheng has fallen into the hands of Jiannu. ”

……

Speaking of this, suddenly, Jiang Yueguang shouted: "Okay! ”

"Good!" A few more Donglin grandmothers also shouted at the same time: "Okay, the wicked have their own wicked grinding, and Li Chuang also has today, which is really happy!" ”

Everyone was happy, and the two Donglin leaders, Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu, were still like sinking water.

This burst of applause will be so shocking that his body is stunned, and he wonders in his heart: Beijing was captured by Jiannu and the imperial city was burned, which is an unprecedented humiliation for my Ming Dynasty.
