After commanding the sailors to easily capture the Chaoyang Gate, Cao Ming immediately ordered the sailors to ascend the Chaoyang Gate, and consolidate the defense line, preparing to meet the counterattack of Jiannu.

Cao Ming used the powerful power of the artillery on the warship to blow up the head of Chaoyangmen, and then asked a team of sergeants to hold explosives bags to blow up Chaoyangmen. When the Jiannu in the city did not have time to respond, they attacked the city, and used the huge lethality of the musket to defeat the overly frightened remnants of the Jiannu in the Chaoyang Gate, and successfully captured the Chaoyang Gate.

Cao Ming didn't expect to be able to capture Chaoyang Gate so easily, and after completely occupying Chaoyang Gate, he was overjoyed.

However, he was also very calm, knowing that Jiannu would definitely fight back immediately, so he ordered 5,000 musketeers to guard the city, and at the same time built field fortifications in the direction of the inner city gate, used some of the grain piled up in the city gate hole as sandbags, sealed the passage, and used this as a trench to send musketeers to defend.

Some of the guns of the warships were also pulled into the city.

The relatively light Franc cannon was transported to the city head as soon as possible, and several new guns were also advanced into the city gate. On Chaoyang Gate, Jiannu was equipped with Hongyi cannons, but almost no shots, and Chaoyang Gate was lost. A few Hongyi cannons became Cao Ming's trophies.

Jiannu decisively quickly launched a counterattack, but was repelled by the Daming Naval Division.

The artillery at the head of the city, as well as the artillery on the warships parked at the canal dock outside the city, smashed the houses in the city and the counterattacking Jiannu into a mess. Of course, Cao You didn't expect that this shelling would actually kill the regent of Jiannu, Jierharang.

Zilharang was killed, and Jiannu immediately messed up, and there was no large-scale counterattack.

Cao Ming was very strange, according to the previous situation, there were at least 100,000 Jiannu in Beijing. Chaoyangmen was broken by our Ming army, and Jiannu will fight back with all his might, and the battle will definitely be very fierce. But why is the momentum of Jiannu's counteroffensive so small? The left-behind minister Zilharang is also a member of Jiannu, and it is impossible not to have a big counterattack.

Cao Ming thought it was a fraud. Didn't dare to be careless. He made all the precautions, and the warships on the pier outside Chaoyang Gate also aimed their guns at several avenues in the city, ready to bombard Jiannu who came to attack again at any time.

But then Jiannu's counterattack was not violent, and after several fruitless attacks, he retreated, and in the end, there were a few people holding white flags and shouting while walking in the direction of Chaoyangmen. Cao Ming couldn't figure out what was going on, but he knew that it was Jiannu's messenger. It is likely that something will be reported, and the sergeant should not shoot those men and bring them over. Soon the Jiannu with white flags were taken to the city gate tower, and when Cao Ming saw it, it was a Han man and two Manchus decorated with Manchurians.

"The small one is the person next to the Queen Mother of the Great Qing Dynasty, which one is the Ming general in charge? There's something important to report!" The Han man in the lead asked tremblingly.

Surrounded by soldiers with loaded guns, the smell of death was everywhere, and these famous slaves were all very scared, and they were almost frightened. In the end, he stepped forward and asked.

"What's the matter?" Cao Ming asked quietly: "What is there to say to Ben General!"

"This Ming general, the little one came to pass on the letter of the Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty and the Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty is unwilling to continue to fight, and is willing to negotiate peace with the Ming army!" The Han man with a rattail of money. Hurriedly stepped forward and nodded to Cao Ming, and handed a few letters to Cao Ming, "This is a letter written by the Queen Mother to General Ming and Governor Cao, and the letter to Governor Cao is also requested to be forwarded by the General as soon as possible." ”

"What?" Cao Ming thought he had misheard. Jiannu actually said not to fight and negotiated peace with the Ming Dynasty. What does this mean? Could it be that Jiannu knew that he couldn't support it and wanted to surrender?

"Where is the letter? Bring it in!" Cao Ming shouted repeatedly. On the way to Beijing after breaking through Tianjin, Cao Ming received a secret letter from Cao Yue, asking him to pay attention to the movements of Bumu Butai, the mother of the Qing Dynasty's puppet emperor and the empress dowager of the Holy Mother, and if there was an opportunity, to encourage her to surrender to the Ming Dynasty with Fulin. Cao Yue told him that a letter had been sent to Bumu Butai, and that this woman might cooperate with Da Ming.

Cao Yue's words, Cao Ming naturally did not dare to forget them, and kept them firmly in his heart. Now when he heard Jiannu who came to the front of the battle say that they didn't want to fight with Daming, they wanted to negotiate peace with Daming, and it was on the order of the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai, he also immediately thought of Cao Yue's order, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Previously, he was still thinking about how to get in touch with Bumu Butai, but he didn't expect this woman to take the initiative to be contacted.

After receiving the letter, Cao Ming immediately asked the three Jiannu who were going to deliver the letter to be temporarily guarded, and he immediately read the letter. Cao Ming didn't dare to fold the letter to Cao Yue, and he didn't delay and asked people to send the letter to Cao Yue as a flying pigeon. He opened the other letter presented to him at once.

At a glance, Cao Ming couldn't help but have a feeling of joy descending from the sky, Jiannu was willing to stop the war and declare himself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, on the condition that they should ensure their safety and give the Qing royal family the original treatment. Because of Cao Yue's instructions, Cao Ming knew very well that all this was what Cao Yue wanted to see the most, so he immediately wrote a reply and asked the three Jiannu to bring the letter back.

In order to facilitate contact and find out the most real situation, Cao Ming asked two of his cronies to follow the three Jiannu into the Forbidden City to meet Bumu Butai and Zhezhe, as well as the little emperor Fulin.

If Jiannu really gave up resistance and was willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, then the battle of Beijing could be over, and the Ming Sailor he led made a great achievement, and it was a shocking achievement, Cao Ming felt a little fluttering. However, Cao Ming was not careless, and he did not order to stop the fighting, but ordered a group of men and horses to continue to attack in the direction of the inner city while Jiannu was not attacking.

Jiannu in this direction has already received an order from the palace. The death of Zilharang had already alarmed them, and an order came from the palace to give up resistance and surrender to the Ming army, which made them even more demoralized. And push it inside from the Chaoyang Gate, except for the walls of the Forbidden City, there is no other place to defend, and if you enter from the Chaoyang Gate, you can soon attack the Forbidden City.

Cao Ming left 5,000 men and horses and most of the artillery at Chaoyangmen, and ordered the deputy general to guard the city gate, and he personally led the musketeers, pikemen, and cavalry to rush in the direction of the Forbidden City. On the way to kill, several rows of muskets fired, and the Jiannu who met all ran away, and when the men who went to contact him had not come back to recover their lives, the Daming sailors led by Cao Ming rushed to the Forbidden City.

Today's Daming Navy Division can only be said to be an army on a warship, and it cannot be compared with the navy of later generations. Their ability to disembark and fight on land was still good, the battle was smooth, and the resistance of Jiannu was very weak, and they rushed to the inner city without any setbacks.

The majestic Forbidden City can be seen from afar.

This is the palace of the Ming Dynasty, and now it is stolen by Jiannu, thinking that the palace can be recovered soon, and everyone including Cao Ming is very excited. (To be continued.) )
