Several large artillery positions, as soon as noon arrived, everyone bombarded the city fiercely, and under this fierce artillery bombardment, needless to say, the Tartars defending the city suffered heavy casualties. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After about half an hour, the sound of artillery gradually stopped, and the soldiers of the infantry divisions prepared to start the charge, ready to begin the siege.

Looking at Zhang Feng's position, he saw the soldiers of the 11th Infantry Division, screaming and shouting, holding muskets and carrying long ladders, and everyone ran towards the city wall.

Zhang Feng's eyes were sharp, and he saw that there were Tartars on the city wall raising white flags, and he seemed to be afraid that everyone would not be able to see them, and he was shaking them desperately, and there seemed to be more than one white flag like this.

Wang Chaoyong also saw it, and said loudly: "Commander-in-chief, look, they raised the white flag and surrendered. ”

Zhang Feng laughed and sneered: "At this time, I only thought about surrendering, it's too late!" ”

It was indeed too late, and more than 100,000 soldiers had already begun to attack the city, rushed to the bottom of the city wall, set up a long ladder, and climbed the city wall with little difficulty.

More and more soldiers rushed into the city and captured the city of Beijing, which took less than half a day at all, and only less than an hour before and after.

Now, the soldiers rushed into the city, gunshots rang out everywhere in the city, and the soldiers began to shoot the Tartars in the city, and it is estimated that nearly 100,000 Tartars in Beijing will be shot all.

Two days later.

The gunfire in the city gradually stopped, the soldiers not only entered the outer city of Beijing, but also broke through the inner city of Beijing, Zhang Feng was surrounded by a large group of senior officers, followed by Wang Chaoyong and Meng Mingzhao on the left and right, walked into the inner city, entered from Tiananmen Square, passed through the noon gate, and walked in.

In the inner city, the battle has also been fully over, the soldiers are cleaning and cleaning, and there are many corpses neatly placed on the ground, among these corpses, there are Dolgon, Daishan and others, all of whom died under the soldiers' muskets.

Dolgon died a terrible death, judging from the corpse, it is estimated that he was shot a dozen times in his body, almost all of which were almost destroyed.

Seeing Zhang Feng coming over, Shi Kefa happily came over to report that it was Shi Kefa's 11th Infantry Division that was the first to attack the inner city, and most of the soldiers in the inner city are from the 11th Infantry Division.

Shi Kefa said happily: "Commander-in-chief, the battle has fully ended, all the Tartars in the inner city have been killed, and everyone is cleaning up." ”

Zhang Feng nodded happily and looked forward, it was the majestic Fengtian Hall (Taihe Palace), as well as the beautiful steps and exquisite white marble railings.

Zhang Feng became interested, and walked towards the Fengtian Temple, everyone followed, and the hall was clean and clean, without any signs of chaos, as if there had been no battle at all.

Zhang Feng saw the throne in the main hall, it used to be Chongzhen sitting, after the Tartars captured the city of Beijing, the Tartar Emperor sat on this throne, Zhang Feng became interested, wanted to try, what it was like to sit on this throne.

Zhang Feng walked forward slowly, sat up on the throne, and looked at the entire hall with a smile, and the feeling of seeing all the mountains and small mountains slowly rose from Zhang Feng's heart.

Meng Mingzhao, Wang Chaoyong, Shi Kefa and others, seeing Zhang Feng sitting on the throne, everyone glanced at each other, understood, nodded, and then unanimously shouted on the ground.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The sound was deafening, Zhang Feng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately came back to his senses, he didn't mean this, he just wanted to sit on this throne and feel it, but he didn't think about it, everyone obviously misunderstood.

Zhang Feng hurriedly waved his hand to postpone it, and Meng Ming said loudly: "My emperor ascends the throne, conforms to the will of the people, and the instructions of heaven cannot be violated." ”

Wang Chaoyong also said loudly: "Congratulations to our emperor on becoming a great treasure, from today onwards, you are our long live, you are our emperor." ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Everyone shouted loudly again, seeing this, Zhang Feng knew that the push would definitely not be pushed off, and it seemed that it was not impossible to be the emperor himself, if he was not qualified, looking at the whole world, who else would have this qualification.

However, modesty and shirk are still necessary, but Zhang Feng's shirk is useless, Meng Mingzhao, Wang Chaoyong and others shouted again and again.

Zhang Feng said: "Since this is the case, then choose a good day, officially proclaim the world, and hold the enthronement ceremony." ”

As soon as Zhang Feng said this, the matter was naturally settled, Meng Mingzhao and the others were very happy, but the distance between the monarchs and ministers, Zhang Feng could still clearly feel it, it seemed that from this moment on, everyone was a lot more respectful and more exquisite.

Next, inform the whole country.

The establishment of the Chinese Empire, this year is the first year of China, Meng Mingzhao began divination, personally selected the date for Zhang Feng's official boarding.

Zhang Feng lived in the Forbidden City, everything according to the royal rules, and sent people to greet Princess Kunxing and Chen Yuanyuan, of course, his father and younger brother also had to welcome him, and selected a large mansion outside the Forbidden City as Zhang Yuanxiang's mansion.

Everything was planned to be busy, with Zhang Feng's ascension to the throne as the center, of course, the infantry divisions were not idle, after clearing the remnants of the Tartar enemy in the vicinity of Beijing, the first infantry division, the ace division, stayed in the capital, the 2nd infantry division, and the 11th infantry division stayed in the suburbs of Beijing.

The rest of the divisions were pulled out, and two divisions went north, together with the 1st and 2nd independent divisions, out of Shanhaiguan to clear the Tartars outside the customs.

At this time, Li Zicheng's Dashun army entered Hubei and defeated Zuo Liangyu, while Zhang Xianzhong was entrenched in Sichuan.

The infantry divisions began to leave Beijing one after another, or out of the customs, or began to pacify the country, Zhang Feng was also regarded as the first salute and then the soldiers, and issued an ultimatum to Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, or accepted Zhang Feng's reorganization, or was exterminated by Zhang Feng.

Matsue Prefecture.

It should be said that the news was the first to reach here, after Zhang Feng sent some people from Tianjin Port to take a steam-powered ship, a few days later, everyone arrived at Shanghai Port.

Everyone also brought exciting good news, Zhang Feng defeated the Tartars in Beijing, killed all the Tartars in Beijing, and will ascend the throne in Beijing and establish the Chinese Empire.

Zhang Yuanxiang didn't know yet, as usual, he was going to go out for a walk, go to the opera garden to watch a play, or go to the teahouse to drink tea, listen to a book and so on.

Now Zhang Yuanxiang is blessed, he has lived a leisurely life, and the business affairs are basically taken care of by the people below, and Zhang Yuanxiang doesn't have to worry about it at all.

In addition, his son is not only the chief soldier of Nanzhili, holding heavy soldiers, but most importantly, he is still a horse master, Zhang Yuanxiang is also highly respected when he goes out.

As usual, the boss must reserve the best position for Zhang Yuanxiang, whether Zhang Yuanxiang goes or not. In the teahouse that Zhang Yuanxiang often goes, the boss must keep the best tea and the most exquisite dim sum for Zhang Yuanxiang.

With two family members, Zhang Yuanxiang was about to go out, and just walked to the gate, only to see a large group of people, led by the Songjiang prefect, followed by a group of officials from Songjiang Prefecture, among this group of people, there was a major general wearing a military uniform and several colonel-level officers wearing military uniforms.

This is Zhang Feng's guard head Chen Tianbao, although he is only the head of the regiment, Chen Tianbao can be regarded as one of the first people to follow Zhang Feng, and he is deeply respected and trusted by Zhang Feng, which can be seen from a guard regiment commander with a major general.

Zhang Yuanxiang was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, what is going on.

Everyone walked over together, and when they saw Zhang Yuanxiang, they immediately stopped, knelt on the ground in black pressure, and shouted: "Long live the Emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"What!"

Zhang Yuanxiang was completely stunned, he didn't know what to do for a while, looking at so many people kneeling on the ground, it took him a long time to react.

"Could it be that Feng'er defeated the Tartars and is ready to ascend the throne as emperor." Thinking of this in his heart, Zhang Yuanxiang immediately became excited, and said in a trembling voice with excitement: "Big... Rise up, everybody. ”

At this time, everyone got up, Chen Tianbao stepped forward, and said to Zhang Yuanxiang: "Emperor Taishang, according to the will of His Majesty the Emperor, welcome the Emperor Taishang into Beijing." ”

"Okay, okay." Zhang Yuanxiang was so excited that his head was blank, and he could only applaud continuously.

Nanjing City.

Princess Kunxing also knew about it, and she was happy in her heart, and she didn't think that her husband was so promising, and he killed the Tartars in just a few months.

"Father, have you seen it in the spirit of heaven, your colt has avenged you, killed all the Tartars, killed Dorgon, and you can rest in peace."

Princess Kunxing looked at the direction of Beijing City, her eyes flashed with tears, and she muttered.

Chen Tianbao saluted and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I will leave tomorrow, take a train to Shanghai, then take a boat to Tianjin, and take a carriage into Beijing in Tianjin. ”

Everything has been arranged by Chen Tianbao, and now, it is very convenient to travel from Nanjing to Shanghai, because the Shanghai-Nanjing line has been opened to traffic.

In Pukou, Nanjing, a railway station has been built, and it is still a large railway station, tens of thousands of free laborers, after the completion of the construction of the Shanghai-Nanjing line, began to participate in the construction of the Pukou railway station, as well as the construction of the Pukou section of the Beijing-Pudong line.

Yes, it is the Jingpu line, that is, from Beijing to Nanjing Pukou, anyway, there are so many free labor, Zhang Feng is ready to spend several years to complete the construction of the Jingpu line, of course, this is a huge project, in a hurry, can only come step by step.

In addition, the Beijing railway station is also beginning to plan, will also begin to build, Beijing to Tianjin Wei railway is also ready to start construction, this time defeated the Tartars, captured more than 100,000 people, these hundreds of thousands of free labor became the main force of railway construction.

A few days later.

Zhang Yuanxiang, Princess Kunxing, Chen Yuanyuan, etc., began to board the ship in Shanghai Port, and a large number of officials in Nanzhili saw each other off at the port wharf, and in everyone's eyes, a steam-powered sea ship sounded a whistle, and under the escort of several warships, slowly left Shanghai Port and headed north.

Hubei.

defeated Zuo Liangyu, the Tartars have been defeated by Zhang Feng, Li Zicheng has settled down in Hubei, and Li Zicheng's troops have also increased from less than 100,000 in the past to more than 100,000 now.

Zhang Feng's ultimatum was also sent to Li Zicheng's hands, and after receiving this ultimatum, Li Zicheng hesitated whether to surrender or resist to the end.

"Your Majesty, we must not descend, now we have a wide land, the people have plenty of food, as long as we develop well for two or three years, I firmly believe that we will reach a million people again."

This is Niu Jinxing, Li Zicheng has Niu Jinxing, Wu has Liu Zongmin, Niu Jinxing's opinion, Li Zicheng feels that he needs to think about it.

However, there are many people who disagree, such as Li Yandao: "Your Majesty, how is my Dashun army better than the Tartars?" ”

At this point, Li Zicheng still has self-knowledge, and said slowly: "Compared with the Tartars, there is naturally a certain gap between my Dashun army. ”

Yes, it must not be as good as the Tartars, otherwise, Li Zicheng's army of more than one million people would not have been defeated one after another, and fled here from Xi'an in embarrassment, if it wasn't for Zhang Feng defeating the Tartars, Li Zicheng would have been defeated and died.

In other words, it is precisely because of Zhang Feng that Li Zicheng's Dashun Army was able to take a breath, and Li Zicheng should thank Zhang Feng for saving his life.

Li Yan said: "Your Majesty, the Tartars are so strong, they are still defeated in the hands of Zhang Feng, and they are so completely defeated that even Dolgon and others have been killed, if we don't surrender and do not accept Zhang Feng's reorganization and jurisdiction, we are only afraid of ......"

Li Yan's meaning is obvious, if he confronts Zhang Feng, he will definitely be killed by Zhang Feng's troops, so what if there is a wide land.

Li Zicheng pondered.

Who knows, the general Liu Zongmin said loudly: "How can you destroy your own prestige and grow the ambition of others, he Zhang Feng is right, but we are far away in Huguang, there are many people in Huguang, what can he Zhang Feng do with us." ”

Within the Dashun Army, there are serious differences of opinion, but the view of the main battle has the upper hand, because Niu Jinxing and Liu Zongmin are both in the main battle, and Li Yan and others seem to be weak.

Li Yan is not a fool, Niu Jinxing and Niu Zongmin and others are not pleasing to their eyes, Li Yan is discouraged and no longer expresses his opinions.

Li Zicheng didn't dare to make up his mind easily, because if Niu Jinxing and Liu Zongmin didn't support it, Li Zicheng knew that it was boring for himself.

Li Zicheng was silent. Seeing that Liu Zongmin's official title is only "general", not "Tai Lieutenant", "Great Sima" or something, in fact, he is almost on an equal footing with Li Zicheng, and he does not buy the account of this buddy "emperor" at all.

The Dashun army was unable to unify its opinions for a long time, so naturally it was unable to reply to Zhang Feng, and several of Zhang Feng's infantry divisions had already entered Henan and would enter Hubei.

A few days later, a big event happened, Li Yan was killed, Li Zicheng became a puppet, and the Dashun army was divided into two factions, Niu Jinxing and Liu Zongmin respectively grasped the real power, and began to recruit troops and horses, preparing to expand the army, and preparing to fight against Zhang Feng.

Zhang Xianzhong was the same, after receiving Zhang Feng's ultimatum, he tore the document to shreds, and then began to strengthen the defense in full swing, preparing to fight against Zhang Feng.

For such a person, Zhang Feng will naturally vigorously clean up, twenty infantry divisions, except for a few infantry divisions out of the pass, three infantry divisions stationed in the Beijing area, the rest, about ten infantry divisions towards Hubei, ready to destroy the Dashun army first, and then Zhang Xianzhong.
