Riding on horseback, the moment he learned the news of the sudden death of Emperor Shunzhi of Qing from the soldiers, Zheng Chenggong was very strange to find that what he felt was not joy. On the contrary, there is a faint melancholy, which constantly lingers in my heart.
It's as if you've been desperately pursuing something, only to turn around and find it right in front of you.
This feeling...... Some of them fall to the ground!
The news of the sudden death of Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty and the defeat of more than 100,000 Qing troops in front of Shanhaiguan quickly spread all over the world through various channels.
The world is shocked!

The entire capital seemed to be shrouded in a gray shadow. The panic was extreme, and many people were trying their best to escape outside the customs and seek a way out in the future.
Qing Shunzhi is dead, and the most important thing is that the young people who can fight in the Manchu Qing have lost all their strength. Now those green battalion soldiers don't rebel immediately, and taking their heads to make contributions to Zheng Chenggong is already an ancestral virtue, where can you still count on them.
The capital can't hold it, and the Kannai can't stand firmly.
The undercurrent is surging, and the wind is roaring!
After Cabinet Minister Sony confirmed the death of Emperor Shunzhi, he finally couldn't support it anymore and vomited blood and fainted on the spot.
was already old, and coupled with this blow, Sony finally couldn't stay up, and died that night!
Although Minister of the Interior Dasu, Gushan Ejin Sohong, and General Annam Choro tried to stabilize the situation, the situation continued to deteriorate.
There are many people in Zhili who rise up against the Qing Dynasty......
Baoding County Ya Hall
"Who told you that the capital has fallen?" Ao Bai sat on the main seat of the hall and asked Meng Qiaofang with a roar.
"Enlightenment...... ......"Meng Qiaofang bowed down and stood under the hall, sweat spilling and sliding down from his forehead, and replied with a trembling voice, "There are children of the Eight Banners who claim to have escaped from the capital...... fled to Baoding, and the news came from their mouths. And...... And"
"And what, say!" Ao Bai asked coldly.
In front of Aobai's anger, Meng Qiaofang said timidly, "I heard that the emperor's corpse was displayed in front of the array. Only those traitors in the capital dare to rebel and kill people to cooperate with the pirates to seize the city! ā
"What?" Ao Bai's face was pale, there was no trace of blood, his body trembled slightly, and he asked urgently, "You...... You repeat? ā
āā¦ā¦ It's all over! Meng Qiaofang said with a crying voice, "The capital has been lost!" ā¦ā¦ The emperor's dragon body has given the world orders to those thieves! ā
"......" Ao Bai slammed his head, like being struck by lightning, and suddenly there was a black curtain in front of him, his steps became unsteady, and he staggered and planted straight forward.
Ao Bai finally relieved himself and barely steadied his steps,
"I don't know the truth of the news, so I panicked like this. I don't know what you, the governor, did to block the rumors and stabilize the hearts of the people in the county? Ao Bai couldn't contain the anger in his heart, and asked sharply.
āā¦ā¦ Xia Guan ...... "Meng Qiaofang's legs were like sifting chaff, and he spoke incoherently, and then his legs were weak and he knelt on the ground, "All forgive the sins, all forgive the sins......"
"......" Ao Bai's face changed a few times, but he still suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice. I won't pursue this matter with you for the time being, you quickly go and prepare half a moon of grain and grass for my army, and it must be completed today! ā
"Thank you, Dutong! The next official will go to ......" Meng Qiaofang paused his head, knocked a few times, and then got up and hurriedly left the lobby.
"Ho~~!" Looking at Meng Qiaofang's back, Ao Bai walked to the door of the lobby and looked at the western sky where the sun was about to set.
Ao Baidu stood in the doorway, looking at the sky.
There was silence in the hall, a death-like silence, and the eyes of all the people were focused on Aobai.
The chief soldier Shu Mulu Ai Xinga and others looked at each other, who didn't know what to do.
"All of us, all of us, what are we going to do now?" Ai Xing Ah walked over and whispered.
Ao Bai heard the voice, turned his head, the arrogance he had always had was gone, there was only a calmness that he had never had, he said slowly, "You don't have to stay here, you all belong to the tribe, you must restrain the military heart." Let's go home! ā
"Go home!" Shumulu Aixinga and others exclaimed.
"That's right! Go home, go back to Kanwai. Now these Eight Banners soldiers are the last hope of our Qing Dynasty, and we can't let them die here in vain. Take them back to Guanwai, and I still have a chance to rise again. ā
Ao Bai suddenly closed his eyes, his face showed pain, and he muttered in a low voice: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and our Jurchen clan, the ransom slaves can't avenge you!" ā
The people in Nanjing spontaneously raised the city to rejoice, the people rushed to tell each other, and every household put up lanterns, just like a festival.
Zheng Chenggong's officials wept with joy and burst into tears.
The thief is dead, is the day when the general's yellow robe will be added?
These people have at least one verdant achievement, and glory and wealth are close at hand!
