"Master, you can't ......" Yang Fu said, hugging Yang Degui. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Seeing that Yang Degui was really coming, Yang Rui was so frightened that he knelt down to his lap, hugged his leg and kowtowed repeatedly: "Dad, you spare me, I won't dare to ...... in the future."

Thinking that he was his own son, Yang Degui finally calmed down, let the two put on their clothes and pants, and then locked the two of them up separately, and then went to the grange in the countryside to inspect angrily.

Since June 27, after the Qing army broke through the Dushikou from northern Hebei and entered the Ming Dynasty, the momentum was like a bamboo, and the Ming army fled in spout.

On July 5, the Qing troops captured Yanqing, Gyeonggi, and entered Tianshou Mountain in Juyong Pass and rushed to Changping.

Changping is the garrison of the general army of Changzhen. Changzhen is a military defense area divided from Crisp Town in the 30th year of Jiajing, and its main task is to defend many tombs of the Ming Emperor and concubines here, and to support the defense of Crisp Town. By the time of Chongzhen, there were already twelve imperial tombs and seven concubine tombs.

Changping City has thick walls and 12,000 defenders, and it is not easy to capture it.

"Keep your eyes open and keep an eye on Lao Tzu, don't be taken advantage of by the Tartars." Chao Pichang, the chief soldier of Changping, shouted loudly while patrolling the city.

Knowing that Yanqing had been captured by the Tatars, Chao Pichang was very nervous and hurriedly strengthened Changping's guards.

Chao Pichang is fifty years old this year, with a long black face and a dignified appearance, at this time he is wearing mountain armor and a silver iron helmet, looking mighty.

But this is just an appearance, in fact, his martial arts are sparse, just an embroidered pillow, but he is good at greeting, so he was promoted from a staff general to a deputy general five years ago, and to the position of chief soldier three years ago.

In the past few years, there have been three or four hundred thousand taels of maintenance fees for the imperial tomb into his pocket, and he plans to fish for a few more years and return to his hometown.

In order to discuss how to hold Changping, Chao Pichang held a military meeting in the general army's palace, which was attended by the deputy general Liu Hong, the eunuch Wang Xizhong, the chief of the household department Wang Gui and Zhao Yue, the judges Wang Yuzuo and Hu Weihong, and several commanders.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Yanqing has been captured by the Tartars, and the next step is Changping, what should we do?" Chao Pichang said with a sad face.

Originally, he thought that Changping was located on the outskirts of Beijing, and there were no targets worthy of the attention of the Tartars, so it should be relatively safe, and he didn't want such a place to attract the attacks of the Tartars.

Wang Gui, the head of the household department, said: "Changping City has thick walls, many defenders, and the moat is wide and deep. ”

"There are many Tartars, and the only thing that worries us is that there are fewer defenders." Judge Wang Yuzuo said.

Wang Xizhong, the eunuch of the prison army, said: "All of you here have a little more things than our family, and our family is not afraid, what are you afraid of, it's just a big deal." ”

"Dead eunuch, you are quite righteous, I'm afraid that I will be strained when the time comes." Chao Pichang scolded secretly in his heart.

Chao Pichang was very greedy for money and afraid of death, he thought to himself: "Hold for a while, if Changping really can't hold it, then surrender the Tartars, with his own dignified general army, after surrendering the Tartars, the status will not be too low." In these years, there are more officials who have surrendered to the Tartars, what bullshit integrity, to hell, living well is the biggest thing. ”

After the meeting, everyone went to do their own work, stretched their waists, and Chao Pichang wanted to go back to the backyard to take a nap.

"Lord Commander, there is a group of defeated troops from Yanqing outside, there are more than 2,000 people, they ask to enter the city, let them in?" Li Zhong of thousands of households came to report.

After thinking about it, Chao Pichang asked, "Are these people really from Yanqing?" ”

"Indeed. We have a few hundred families here who recognize some of them. Li Zhong replied.

Hearing that there are officers here who know these defeated soldiers, Chao Pichang was relieved, and he said: "Since this is the case, let them in, there are more people, and it will be easier to defend the city." I'm tired, go lie down for a while. With that, he walked to the backyard.

On the night of July 6, in the dark night, 20,000 Qing soldiers suddenly appeared under the city of Changping.

"Goo-goo-goo...... Coo-coo-coo...... "A few frog chirps sounded outside the city, Qianhu Li Zhong was overjoyed, "meow meow" a few times, and then whispered to Zhao Renyi, deputy Qianhu: "Zhao deputy Qianhu, the army of the Qing Dynasty has arrived, you hurry down and open the city gate, and we will have a good life in the future." ”

It turned out that both of them had been rebelled by the defeated soldiers who had been put into the city, and promised to surrender the city, and those defeated soldiers had surrendered to the Tartars, and they came to Changping to make money in the city.

After opening the city gate, 20,000 Qing soldiers broke into the city, and under the leadership of Nei Ying, they scattered to the military camps in the city and the yamen of the government at all levels, and at the same time, hundreds of Qing troops rushed to the gate of the general army under the leadership of Li Zhong.

After dinner, Chao Pichang and the concubine in the fourth room fought a lot, and fell asleep tired.

"Lord Commander, the Tartars have entered the city...... a henchman ran in in a panic and reported.

"Huh? ......" Chao Pichang got up in fright, put on his pants, walked to the door, and saw that the city was full of firelight and shouts of killing, as well as screams.

"Send someone to see, what's going on?" He commanded in a panic.

At this time, a group of Qing troops strode in, and at the forefront was Qianhu Li Zhong, who saw Chao Pichang, he turned around, smiled and bowed to a senior officer of the Qing army in his fifties, wearing exquisite blue armor, and said: "General Abatai, he is Chao Pichang, the chief soldier of Changping." ”

Abatai has a big head and square face, a burly and stout body, and a rough appearance, is the seventh son of Nurhachi, and belongs to Manchuria ZLQ at the beginning of Taiji, in the eleventh year of the Mandate of Heaven (1626), Huang Taiji ascended the throne, and Abatai was named Baylor.

In the first year of Chongde (1636), he was awarded the title of Doro Rao Yu Baylor. In the first year of Shunzhi (1644), he was named the king of Doluo Raoyu County. In March of the third year of Shunzhi, Abatai died of illness.

Glancing contemptuously at Chao Pichang and his concubines, as well as his son and daughter, Abatai sneered and said: "Chao General Bing, now that Changping has been occupied by our army, whether you surrender or not, if you don't surrender, you can go underground with your son to reunite, your daughter and a few concubines, my Qing warriors will serve them well." ”

Hearing these murderous and evil words, Chao Pichang's body trembled.

Seeing this, the traitor Li Zhong spoke: "Lord General Soldier, I would like to persuade you to surrender, you are a Chief Soldier, it is not worth dying like this." ”

Hearing this, Chao Pichang's legs weakened, and he knelt down with a "poof" and said, "The lower official is willing to surrender." ”

Abatai took the surrendered Chao Pichang out of the General Military Mansion, at this time a hundred and ten Qing troops came over, and the leader was Niu Lu Zhangjing Hilgen, seeing him, Abatai asked: "Have the Ming Dynasty officials in the city been caught?" ”

Hilgen hurriedly said: "Yu Baylor, the Ming Dynasty officials in the city, except for Wang Gui and Zhao Yue, the heads of the household department, and the judges Wang Yuzuo and Hu Weihong, who were killed for resisting our army, the rest have been caught. ”

"What about Wang Xizhong, the eunuch of the prison army? Didn't catch it? Abatai asked dissatisfied, he didn't want to slip through the net, he wanted to catch them all.

"Nope. When the eunuch rushed in, he tried to resist and was killed by me. Hilgen said.

On the second day of entering and occupying Changping, standing at the head of Changping City, looking at the forested and magnificent Deling in the distance, Abatai was jealous and immediately ordered to set fire, and a burst of fire burned down the Deling.

After the capture of Changping, the Qing soldiers successively captured Liangxiang (now BJ Fangshan), two days later, moved to Shahe, Qinghe Town, Changping's troops under the leadership of Chao Pichang also arrived at Xizhimen, directly forced the capital.

Hearing that the Tartar striker had arrived on the outskirts of Beijing, Chongzhen was frightened and scattered, and hurriedly ordered the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to guard the capital gate, and ordered the military department to send the garrisons of SDSX Datong, Baoding and Guanwai to aid the Beijing Division.

Since the martial law, the atmosphere in Beijing has become a little tense, and even the crowds on the streets of the prosperous commercial districts, including the Zhengyangmen area and the Dongsi and Xisi archways, have been significantly reduced.

At noon that day, in a tavern on the side of the road in the West Fourth Archway, there were more than a dozen drinkers, and everyone was drinking and talking about the Tartars outside the city, all speculating whether the Tartars would attack in the end.

"Shopkeeper Sun, there are so few people on the street, and the business of your tavern is still so good, it's really rare," a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar said to the tavern owner.

The small tavern owner said: "Alas, it's just a casual meal, and it's unbelievable that even the emperor's place of residence has Tartar soldiers and horses." ”

"I'm an SD person, I came to Beijing to buy goods, I bought the goods, but now I can't get out, I knew that it was better not to come, my wife and children are still waiting for me to go back and get money to sell food." A man dressed as a businessman said with a sad face.

A young man who was drinking said to the middle-aged man who looked like a scholar: "This gentleman, I see that you are also a talented person in your belly

Do you think this Tartar will come into the city? ”

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look at the middle-aged man who looked like a scholar, hoping that he would say the answer that everyone wanted to know.

After looking at everyone, the middle-aged man who looked like a scholar thought for a while, and then said, "Don't worry, Tartar can't get in." ”

"Why?" The young man asked.

"yes, why? Chen Xiucai, what you said today is good, I will waive your wine money. Boss Sun said generously.

Haha, Chen Xiucai said: "Shopkeeper Sun, this is what you said." ”

"Yes. That's what I said. I won't lick the foam that comes out of it anymore. The tavern owner said, patting the dryhouse's chest

After taking a sip of wine and eating a few fried peanuts, Chen Xiucai asked in a mysterious whisper: "Don't you know, we have a very remarkable person here?" As long as this person still lives here, the Tartars will never be able to get in. ”

"Who is this man?" Everyone asked in unison in surprise.
