Chapter Fifty-Seven: One Day of the Imperial Court

For a while, Bambur was in a dilemma, let's see, lest Huo Wu make any excessive demands; No, if this spreads, it will still be inseparable from Dolgon's party. Weighing the pros and cons, Bamble thought for a while, then stomped his foot fiercely, nodded and agreed to meet Huo Wu.

Bamburshan specially told the house slaves to quietly bring Huo Wu and the others to the backyard of the duty room, and they must not let the idlers and others see it, and they seized the handle.

Huo Wu's current appearance is no different from what Bamburshan guessed, he is indeed a depressed appearance, the clothes on his body are vaguely stained with blood, and several people around him are also tired, it seems that they are his subordinates.

But unexpectedly, Bamble didn't know how to speak, but Huo Wu didn't plan to speak, but a figure who had been hiding behind everyone suddenly stepped forward, took off the hat on his head, and said complainingly: "Sixth, it's really difficult to see you now!" ”

"Second brother!" Bamburshan then flickered and jumped to see the man clearly, and could not help but be surprised.

The person who came was tall and strong, with a long beard, a flat nose and wide eyes, and because of the rain, his purple-red face was slightly pale, and it was the second brother Ekeqin who was now working under Duoduo.

A layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Bamburshan's body, and he was stunned, and hurriedly ordered the house slave to go out to let the wind out, and he quickly closed the doors and windows with his hands and feet.

"Second brother, aren't you serving in the Hebei Army? Why did you suddenly come to Jingshi? There is a big mess in Beijing now, the regent and the queen mother died in the Taimiao, long live the lord made a decree to arrest the officials of the two white flags and purge the super-gang ......! ”

Ekeqin waved his hand tiredly, "I already knew what you said, before the chaos in the capital division. The fifth master sent a message to the fifteenth master, I entered Beijing at this starry night, in fact, I had already arrived in Beijing early this morning, but I didn't have time to see the regent, so I ......! Alas, there is no more nonsense between our brothers. Now the capital is turbulent, long live the lord is bent on going his own way, even his own mother doesn't care, our two white flags, including the red, red two flags are not willing to sit still, today is a big thing to entrust to you! ”

Bamburshan's heart trembled, and he was speechless for a while.

Eke personally observed the words and knew what he, the sixth brother, was worried about. He continued: "Sixth brother, since our Amma, we have been inseparable from the regent. When Amma was dying, he was given the title of Duke of an Auxiliary State, which the regent tried his best to win in front of the first emperor. The three of us brothers can have where we are today, and it is all because of the promotion of the regent. Today's events, the regent and his old man may no longer be alive, but we are a big family. But I can't stay out of it anymore. Long live Lord is not looking for trouble with us now, that is, there are still many important things to deal with. There are still many big people to deal with, and one day, when he comes to his senses, we will not be able to escape. In our family, you are the most knowledgeable, and I don't need to say these truths. I'm sure you'll understand! ”

These words of Ekeqin have been pointed to the heart of Bamburshan, and since Tabai, this vein has become a part of the two white flags. Whether you admit it or not, now among the brothers. Both of them held important positions under Dord, and it may not be so easy for the rest of Bamburshan to stay out of the matter.

Thinking of this, Bambur was heartbroken, "Fifth master, second brother, now I am stationed in Yongdingmen, and there are more than 300 brothers under my command who can be trusted, but there is an order, you command!" ”

Ekeqin was stunned, "What, do you know what we want you to do?" ”

Huo Wuyi smiled, "The sixth brother is a smart person, he must have thought of it early in the morning, this is good, and it also saves our brothers from going around the bend again, with the sixth brother, your words and this thoughtful thinking, you will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future!" ”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed, and Huo Wu restrained his smile, "Since the sixth brother has already guessed, then I won't go around in circles." In a word, we want you to open the Yongding Gate in the early hours of tomorrow morning, if you still have someone you can trust at the inner city gate, then it will be even better! ”

"Who wants to enter Beijing?" Bamble stared at Huo Wu's eyes.

"Fifteen masters, and 20,000 taels of white flag elites!"

……

The situation in Jingshi was quickly pacified, and Emperor Fulin of Shunzhi was finally able to sleep peacefully, but he rested in the Qianqing Palace for only an hour, and hurriedly attacked Yue Le, Bo Guoer, Qi Zheng'e, Gur Ma Hui, Lai Mubu and others who had been invited to see him and woke him up from his dream.

After receiving a cup of tea from Duo Xi, he didn't care about the emperor's posture, drank it all, tried to drive the tired feeling away from his mind, and looked at the new ministers attached to his feet, and Fu Lin's heart had some confidence.

Listening to Yue Le and the others' report on the capture of Dolgon's party, Fulin was a little interested, and casually raised his arm to let Yue Le and the others stop. "The rectification of the court is not a day's work, there will be opportunities in the future, the most important thing now is that Duoduo is still supervising the army in Hebei, Zhu Ping'an's army has dragged it to death, what the court has to do immediately is to retreat to the north immediately, and He Luo will drag Li Dingguo's soldiers and horses in the north, which gives us an opportunity to save our strength and retreat north safely, which is a safe plan!"

"Shengming has no master!" Yue Le and Qi Zheng'e, the two ministers in charge of the army, replied in unison: "Duoduo and He Luohui have no time to take care of the Jingshi, and this is the best time to implement Your Majesty's strategy!" ”

"That's ......!" The freshly baked Xiangjun Wang Boguoer seemed to remember something, and he stopped talking.

Fu Lin doted on this young brother very much, and hurriedly asked him to continue.

"Brother Chen just thinks, I will govern the world with faithfulness and filial piety, and it is a foregone conclusion that I will withdraw from the Beijing Division, so what is the aftermath of the Queen Mother, ......?" Bo Guoer said in a huttering voice.

Fu Lin's face immediately changed, which made everyone frightened, and quickly lowered his head.

After a while, Fu Lin sighed, "Let the people below find the remains of the Queen Mother as soon as possible, put the coffin in the coffin, return north with the army, and wait until the grassland for burial!" ”

"Slaves, ministers, etc., obey the order!"

Before the words fell, there were bursts of muffled sounds along the southern sky, continuous, and the sound tended to become clearer and clearer, and seemed to be getting closer and closer.

"What's going on?" Fu Lin asked the ministers, and everyone also looked at each other. Most of the important ministers present were fledgling newcomers, but they were two old ministers of Xifu and Ganglin who belonged to the two dynasties, and they were able to write and martial arts, and they were shocked when they heard this kind of sound. Ganglin used to be attached to Dolgon, and he was able to enter the center, all thanks to the support of the Dolgon brothers, if he hadn't been one of the few remaining old ministers this time, maybe he would have been in prison at this time.

But as soon as Ganglin heard this sound, he immediately identified the source of this sound. This is clearly the Qing army's usual iron light earthen cannon when attacking the city, filled with solid iron bullets, although the power is not great, but the melee effect of attacking the fortification is extraordinary.

The city pattern of Beijing is vast, and the distance between the inner court and the outer city is still far away, and this kind of sound can be heard at this time, there must be something wrong in the city, not to mention, in this case, the earth cannon has been used in the Eight Banners for foreign campaigns, and it belongs to the equipment of the field troops, and the firearms battalions in the Beijing division do not have such crude firearms.

Xifu and Ganglin exchanged glances, and their eyes revealed an indescribable emotion at the same time, but neither of them spoke.

"Bang" for a lifetime, but the door of the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace was pushed open all of a sudden, and a eunuch stumbled in, which made Fu Lin angry while being surprised.

But the eunuch's words completely subsided Fulin's anger at once.

"Long live the lord, it's not good, there are soldiers entering the city, and they will kill people all the way, the Zhengyang Gate guard Feng Kelu surrendered without a fight, opened the city gate, and has introduced the chaotic army into the inner city, and now he is coming straight to the imperial city!"

"Ahh Fu Lin collapsed on the side of the kang table all of a sudden, Yue Le was finally able to stabilize his mind and immediately stood up, "What kind of soldiers and horses are coming, are they the people and horses of Jingshi Beizhili who came to King Qin when they heard the news?" ”

The eunuch replied with a crying voice: "No, no, the minions didn't see the appearance of these soldiers and horses, but I heard that these soldiers and horses are all white helmets and white armor, but they look like the elite under our two white flags!" ”

"White Helmet, White Armor! Two white flags! The crowd was shocked. The two white flag elites are on the front line of Hebei to resist the advance of the Ming army, how can they appear in the key places of the Beijing Division, and besides, the nine gates of the Beijing Division are under martial law, how did they silently break through the outer city and enter the inner city, and approach the imperial city, are the forward battalions and guard battalions that have just been controlled in the Beijing Division all decorations?

The two white flag armies entered Beijing, and the defense of the Beijing division was useless, which shows that the Beijing division just won by the Shunzhi Emperor Fulin was actually full of holes, and it was simply powerless to resist, and the Dolgon brothers' connections and henchmen in the court were too deep, and the difference between Fulin and the chaos was so different that the rebel army arrived in Beijing, and the guards surrendered one after another, and in the end, Fulin was still alone.

At this moment, Fu Lin's newly mustered courage was instantly destroyed, and the whole person's spirit seemed to be drained. The newly promoted courtiers were also frightened like a swarm of headless flies, and they were suddenly messed up, and many of them had already smeared oil on the soles of their feet and sneaked out of the warm pavilion.

Only Yue Le is still calm. The two white flag armies entered the city, which proved that the general trend had gone and the situation was irretrievable. "Master, the Jingshi can no longer stay, we must leave immediately, there are still thousands of people in the two Yellow Banners loyal to the master, while the chaotic army has not yet controlled the whole city, we must make a decision immediately, follow lightly, and immediately leave the city and withdraw the army to the north!"
