In the early hours of the next morning, with a heavy squeak, there was a difference in the shouts that had lasted for a day and a night, and some cheers began to appear. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Beijing City, the Yongding Gate of the outer city of the Ming Dynasty for nearly three hundred years, was opened by several eunuchs, first of all, more than 200,000 Ming troops rushed in, shouting and rushing into this bustling city.

Then there was the army that the people were looking forward to, and the soldiers of the Yong'an Army who walked into the city of Beijing with neat steps, they formed three columns, which formed a sharp contrast with the chaotic and disorderly annexation of the Ming army.

The Ming banner densely covered on the head of the city was taken down by the excited Yongan soldiers and thrown to the ground, replaced with the military flag of the Yongan Army, and the big "Xiao" flag fluttered in the city of Beijing for the first time, indicating the advent of a new era.

Hearing that the Yong'an army entered the city, the people in the city already knew that the Yong'an army was strict in discipline and never disturbed the people and bullied the people, so no one was afraid, and many people went out of their homes to greet each other, whether it was the landlords and gentry in the city, the emperor's relatives and relatives, or every poor people begging on the streets, they were all looking at this different army in front of them.

The people around him were full of discussions, and the soldiers of the Yong'an Army followed Xiao Yi and straightened their chests even more, with a proud look on their faces.

Seeing the soldiers of the Yong'an Army with strict military discipline and neat steps slowly entering, the landlords and gentry and the imperial relatives were all shocked, but the poor people were cheering, because they really saw hope from this strong Han army.

Now they are finally sure that it is really time to change the dynasty, and their days of suffering are finally coming to an end.

In fact, these people don't ask for much, most of them are just enough to eat and clothe, live in a house as a family, and cultivate land and grow vegetables, which is enough, but when these most basic requirements cannot be met, many people become more and more fierce about changing the dynasty.

For them, it doesn't matter who is the emperor of the world, who can let them live the good life they look forward to, they support him, the simple people are not like the powerful to fight openly and secretly, their ideas are so simple.

The only few thousand Beijing battalions who dared to fight were martyred in the city with Fu Yingkui, the commander of the Beijing camp, although the gate of the imperial city was closed, but there was not a guard of the Beijing camp soldiers on the city, except for the messy flags, armor and swords and guns all over the ground, the imperial city of the Ming Dynasty was so desolate.

It didn't take long for officials and gentry to curry favor with Xiao Yi and lead their servants to open the Chengtian Gate, which was only a place for the emperor to pass through on weekdays, but at this moment there were Xiao Yi and countless burly soldiers, and the people were looking at it from afar.

Seeing Wen Tiren smiling in front of him, Xiao Yi raised his head and glanced at the Imperial City, which was the Forbidden City of the later generations, and said lightly.

"Grab it."

Wen Tiren is thinking that opening the door can atone for his crimes, and the Yong'an Army should only be under the banner, and he is the first assistant of the cabinet.

What's more, he doesn't have any deep grudges with Na Xiao, and even Wen Tiren is thinking that after the change of dynasty, he will still be the head of the cabinet, and he is dreaming of his yellow sorghum.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi turned his face without saying a word, poured a basin of cold water on his head, and didn't even have the heart to look at him twice, and when he saw two wolf-like Yongan soldiers stepping forward, Wen Tiren cried out in a broken voice.

"Generalissimo, don't, Generalissimo!"

"Huh? This, this, this..."

Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, was dragged down by Xiao Yi mercilessly, which also caused the hundred officials who came to surrender behind him to be full of horror, and they were all pale at the moment, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Xiao Yi smiled slightly and gave them a reassuring pill.

Looking at Zuo Zhongyun Li Mingrui in the crowd, Xiao Yi said: "Master Li, you can settle down as much as possible, I, Xiao Yi, will do what I say, and only punish the traitor." ”

When the surrounding officials saw Xiao Yidu talking to Li Mingrui, they all looked at him with envy and jealousy, but found that this Li Mingrui was just a little Zuo Zhongyun, and they couldn't figure it out in their hearts.

Li Mingrui originally planned to live and die with the Ming Dynasty, but this time he came to see if Xiao Yi, who was the mighty Xiao Yi, was born as rumored, with three heads and six arms, and to see the Yong'an Army, which was called undefeated.

When Li Mingrui saw Xiao Yi, who was still calm, and the soldiers of the Yongan Army who were still strict in military discipline after entering Beijing City, he was also very emotional.

I have some doubts in my heart, since there is such a strong army, why does the emperor not know how to use it?

"Are you really only punishing Wen Tiren?"

Glancing at Li Mingrui, Xiao Yi nodded, and then said loudly to the ministers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since Wen Tiren is dead, then the position of the first assistant of the cabinet is missing, but there is a candidate for this commander, Dong Yong, the squire of the military department, can he be the next first assistant of the cabinet?"

As he spoke, Xiao Yi's eyes gradually cooled, and Shi Gang behind him also coughed violently, not only intentionally or unintentionally, touched the steel knife on his waist, and took a step forward, which frightened these civil officials.

Several key officials of the cabinet came out tremblingly and arched their hands: "Xiao... What Xiao Dashuai said is very true, Dong Yong... can be the next cabinet chief..."

"But... But he has been dismissed and sent to prison..."At the moment, an official in green clothes said cautiously.

Haha smiled, Xiao Yi patted the cabinet official standing at the front and smiled.

"That's easy to do, just take Master Dong out of prison and take care of it, if there are three long and two short, you will end up with the same fate as Wen Tiren."

As soon as the words fell, the ministers heard a miserable scream from a distance, and in front of the onlookers, the Yongan saber and shield hand mercilessly beheaded Wen Tiren on the street, and the scream stopped abruptly.

A blood-sprayed head rolled to the ground, and the sword and shield hand clenched his fist from afar and shouted: "Hello Dashuai, Wen Tiren has been killed!" ”

This sword player looked indifferent, as if Wen Tiren was not the head of the cabinet at all, but a thief caught by them.

"Good kill!"

"Xiao Dashuai is mighty!"

"The heroes of the Yong'an Army have killed so much!"

Hearing the shouts of the surrounding people, Xiao Yi added a fire again and waved his hand: "Three days in the West Market, let the people of the world see the fate of this traitor!" ”

"Obey the commander's orders!"

Patting the shoulders of these cabinet ministers again, Xiao Yi walked into the imperial city with a smile, and just walked under the Chengtian Gate, Xiao Yi suddenly turned around and said.

"By the way, Li Mingrui, this marshal, from now on, you can join the cabinet and assist the government."

Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Li Mingrui's eyes showed a deep sense of surprise, and when he saw the Yongan soldiers standing around him, he didn't look like that vicious thief.

Li Mingrui sighed lightly, it seems...

Xiao Yi took the lead, and the generals behind him, such as Shi Lu, Wang Dayong, Huang Yang, Shi Gang, and Liu Tong, also glanced at these ministers coldly, and followed Xiao Yi into the imperial city from Chengtianmen, and went straight to the Imperial Palace.

On this way, there was no usual calm in the imperial city, and it looked like the wind and rain had come, and the ground was messy, but when he arrived at the Huangji Gate, Xiao Yi frowned.

This Huangji Gate is actually closed, is there still a Beijing camp guarding inside?

At this time, it is not easy for someone to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as he thought of this, the Imperial Gate suddenly opened, and hundreds of eunuchs wielding waist knives rushed out from inside, although they shouted with all their might, but in the eyes of Shi Gang and the others, it was still a little funny.

Without Xiao Yi's order, Yang Liqing, who was following behind Xiao Yi, waved the tiger spear in his hand, and rushed forward with a sentry of more than 200 soldiers in the trap of the fifth battalion.

This was a battle without suspense, no one in the Yong'an army was even injured, but hundreds of eunuchs were all killed outside the Huangji Gate.

...

Stepping on the corpses of these eunuchs and walking on the dragon wall in front of the Imperial Palace, Xiao Yi shook his head slowly, even he never thought that this last moment was actually the last gate of the Ming Dynasty guarded by the most ridiculed eunuchs on weekdays.

Entering the Imperial Palace, Xiao Yi walked to Chongzhen's jade steps, and behind him was the emperor's dragon chair, but Xiao Yi did not eagerly sit on the dragon chair, but just turned around.

When I saw the clerks and generals of the Yongan Army, I gathered together.

There were a little fewer clerks, Zuo Miaocai led a group of backbone clerks, about dozens of people and hundreds of important ministers of the court who belonged to him, standing on the left side, and dozens of senior generals in the Yong'an Army on the right, all of whom were flesh and blood men.

Shi Lu, Huang Yang, Shi Gang, Liu Tong, and Wang Dayong stood at the front of everyone as people, they were the representatives of the entire Yongan Army, and only the five of them were the first to follow Xiao Yi, and their status in the army was naturally undoubted.

After years of exposure to the ears and eyes, even Liu Tong has become a general who can take charge alone.

In the open space outside the Imperial Palace, although there was no Ming Dynasty's Beijing camp, there were more dense Yong'an soldiers, who lined up neatly, about a few thousand people.

"Worship the Generalissimo!"

With the roar of the five people in Huangyang, the soldiers of the Yong'an Army in the open space outside the hall raised the tiger spear in their hands.

"Worship the Generalissimo!"

"The Yong'an Army wins!"

"Yong'an Army wins!!"

Looking at this scene, those important ministers of the court who surrendered were all trembling uncontrollably, and they couldn't give birth to the slightest sense of resistance in their hearts.

......

Less than a month after the Spring Festival, the Yongan army went all the way north, Lianke Town, after a day and night of fierce fighting, finally broke through the city of Beijing in the early morning of March 8, the eighth year of Chongzhen, and settled in the Central Plains.
