The capital of Daming is divided into the outer city and the inner city, the city wall of the outer city and the inner city is twenty-four meters wide, eight meters high, incomparably strong, there are seven city gates in the outer city, there are nine city gates in the inner city, such a city, there is no absolute certainty, the general army is difficult to overcome, Li Zicheng captured the outer city and the inner city of the capital, it only took about four days, it can be described as a miracle.

However, what Li Zicheng, Gu Junen and others never imagined was that an even more surprising miracle was about to appear.

When the Battle of One Stone began, the Zheng Jiajun took Yingzhou and Tongzhou respectively in only three days.

The capital is close at hand, and this is Zheng Jiajun's next goal, and it is also the most important goal.

It is of great significance to take the capital, but at this time, Zheng Xunrui is a little hesitant, not surprisingly, Li Zicheng will suffer a crushing defeat in the battle of a stone, and Li Zicheng after the fiasco, he will definitely lead the army under his command to withdraw from the direction of Tongzhou to the capital, if the Zheng army does all the defense in Tongzhou, it will be able to completely defeat Li Zicheng, and even kill Li Zicheng, and pacify the Zheng family's army's fierce rival Liukou.

In Zheng Xunrui's view, the task of exterminating Li Zicheng and severely damaging the Eight Banners Army is far more important than occupying the capital, after all, Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji are the main opponents of the Zheng family's army, and now they are in a hurry to occupy the capital, alarming and letting go of Li Zicheng, and the Zheng family's army needs to spend more energy to exterminate, after all, most of the places in Henan and Shanxi are under the direct control of Li Zicheng.

However, it is impossible for Zheng Xunrui to propose such a campaign deployment, and it is absolutely impossible to obtain consent.

Not only Zheng Jinhong and Yang Tingshu and others, but even Zhou Yanru and Xu Wanghua in Nanjing and others are eager for Zheng Jiajun to occupy the capital, their purpose is very clear, after Zheng Jiajun occupies the capital, Zheng Xunrui can ascend the throne. A whole new dynasty will be born.

This is the mind of Zheng Xunrui's henchmen and subordinates, and the general trend is inviolable.

Therefore, Zheng Xunrui gave up the plan to deploy the former army in Tongzhou, but he still left 5,000 soldiers stationed in Tongzhou, under the direct command of Yang He, and Zheng Xunrui left most of the scout battalion soldiers in Tongzhou. His order to Yang He was very clear, to hold on to Tongzhou and wait for the arrival of the Chinese army led by Hong Xintao, if the Chinese army did not arrive at the scheduled time, the 5,000 soldiers must delay the speed of the army under Li Zicheng to the capital.

You must know that Li Zicheng went to fight in a stone, and his command led an army of 400,000, if all these soldiers returned to the capital, with the 5,000 Zheng family soldiers stationed in Tongzhou, how could they resist.

However, Zheng Xunrui's order was given. Yang He will not frown, there is no such precedent for the soldiers of the Zheng family.

On April 22, Zheng Xunrui led 15,000 former soldiers of the Zheng family army to the capital.

There are 50,000 soldiers of the Dashun Army stationed in the capital, and there are also soldiers of the Dashun Army stationed in Wanping and Shunyi around them, and the Zheng army is only 15,000 people, and there is a huge disparity in strength.

Zheng Jinhong, Hong Xinyu and Wang Xiaoer are still very worried, Zheng Jinhong once suggested. The herald ordered the Chinese army led by Hong Xintao to speed up the march and approach the capital as fast as possible. However, this suggestion was not agreed by Zheng Xunrui, the Chinese army is mainly based on the Shenji Battalion and the Artillery Battalion, and there are also female battalions and civilian officials such as Yang Tingshu and Wen Zhenheng, even if they march at the fastest speed, they will be at least two days slower than the previous army.

The deployment of the campaign was announced long ago. At this time, urging the Chinese army did not work.

Zheng Jiajun attacked the capital, Zheng Xunrui was absolutely sure, Gu Junen, who was stationed in the capital, was not a general, although the strategy was good, he could command the operation. is not a master, Zheng Jiajun entered Beizhili and successively won Hejian Mansion, Wuqing, Yingzhou and Tongzhou, and there was no big shock around, which is enough to show Gu Junen's negligence.

The speed of Zheng Jiajun's march could not cover up Gu Junen's major mistakes.

probably thought that Wanping, Shunyi, Tongzhou and other places were stationed in the Dashun army, so Gu Junen was quite relieved, and at this time, the main energy of Gu Junen and the others was all focused on the battle of a stone, and they didn't have time to care about other things.

Zheng Xunrui did not fail to make corresponding deployments, and the biggest deployment is the military uniforms of the Zheng family army, 15,000 soldiers are all wearing the military uniforms of the Dashun army, so that they can rest assured that they can boldly gallop on the official road without attracting too much attention, not to mention that Zheng Xunrui has already thought of a way for the army to enter the capital.

At that hour, an army of 15,000 appeared in front of Yongding Gate.

Seeing the magnificent city wall of the capital from afar, Zheng Xunrui's heart rose up with an unusual feeling, through seventeen years, he and this city are not very intersecting, this is the absolute political center, I don't know how many joys and sorrows were born here, and in the next time, most of him has to stay in this city.

More than 50 soldiers from the scout camp rode towards Yongding Gate, shouting as they galloped.

"A stone victory, Shanhaiguan victory......"

The sergeants guarding the city gate and the sergeants on the city wall had already heard the shouts and saw the galloping horses, and the sergeants on the horses were wearing the uniforms of the Dashun army.

In the past few days in the capital, I am concerned about the situation of the conquest of Shanhaiguan, and I must be happy to hear the good news at this moment.

When more than 50 scouts came to the gate of Yongding, the soldiers guarding the gate dodged to both sides, these soldiers must be the soldiers of King Chuang's side, and they came back to report the good news, they did not dare to stop them.

They soon had no chance to stop.

Ten scouts flew off their horses, and the rest of the scouts flew through the road, and after entering the city, they also flew and dismounted, heading towards the city wall, and the battle unfolded in an instant, and the sergeants on the city wall and the sergeant at the city gate never imagined that such a thing would happen.

Yongdingmen was instantly controlled.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded, and more than 10,000 former soldiers of the Zheng family army began to charge.

The torrent poured into Yongding Gate, and the battle unfolded in the outer city.

Most of the sergeants of the Dashun army were stationed in the outer city, and there were only a few sergeants in the inner city.

The outer city of the capital is divided into eight squares, namely Zhengnan Fang, Zhengdong Fang, Zhengxi Fang, Xuanbei Fang, Xuannan Fang, Chongbei Fang, Chongnan Fang and White Paper Fang, the sergeants of the Dashun Army are mainly stationed in Zhengnan Fang, Zhengdong Fang, Chongnan Fang and Baizhi Fang, these places can hold the seven gates of the outer city and the Zhengyang Gate, Chongwen Gate and Xuanwu Gate of the inner city.

The fight also began in these places.

The ordinary people in the outer city have long closed the door and chanted the blessing of the Bodhisattva at home, and in just over a month, there have been scenes of fighting in the capital one after another, and the people in the capital do not know what they have done.

When the fighting began, the gates of the inner city were quickly closed.

Zheng Xunrui doesn't care, as long as he takes the outer city, the inner city will be fine......

At the time, the sky was slightly dark, and the battle in the outer city was basically over, although the sergeants of the Dashun army resisted desperately, but unfortunately in front of the Mauser guns and crossbows, their resistance was full of helplessness.

The soldiers of the Dashun Army did not know until their deaths, the location of their station, the number of personnel, etc., the officers and soldiers of the Zheng family army were clear, and this was all the credit of the dark line in the capital.

More than three hundred black people appeared in front of Zheng Xunrui, and standing in the middle of them were Duan Zongkui and Gao Qiqian.

Seeing Zheng Xunrui on horseback, more than 300 black-clothed people, Duan Zongkui and Gao Qiqian all knelt down.

Duan Zongkui was already in tears, he had been suffering for more than a month, he didn't know what he was thinking, and now he finally saw Zheng Xunrui, the news of the emperor's hanging, he already knew, at this moment Zheng Xunrui entered the capital, what it means, Duan Zongkui is very clear.

Not to mention Gao Qiqian, when the emperor said the last holy decree in front of Wang Chengen, Duan Zongkui and him, Gao Qiqian understood that Zheng Xunrui was the future emperor, and when he saw the emperor who was about to ascend the throne at this time, what could he do without kneeling.

"You all get up, Duan Zongkui, high dive, your task has been completed very well."

Zhu Cihong and others were not able to show up at this time, after all, this was a decision made by Zheng Xunrui alone, and although he entered the outer city of the capital, he had not yet occupied the entire capital, let alone ascended the throne as the emperor, if Zhu Cihong and others appeared at this time, it would definitely cause an uproar.

You must know that the people in the capital, including many officials, thought that Zhu Cihong and others had died.

Zheng Xunrui expressed his condolences to the many dark lines in the capital, and some of the dark lines lurked in the inner city.

However, the Zheng family army has not yet completed the combat mission, they need to occupy the inner city and occupy the Forbidden City.

Zheng Xunrui was confident, he was no longer ready to attack the inner city.

A captured officer of the Dashun Army was escorted over.

"Xie Yinglong, you are the Zuo Weiwu general under Li Zicheng, I will let you enter the inner city, send a letter to Gu Junen, I will give you an hour's time, if you automatically open the inner city gate, Gu Junen and others can leave the capital, I will not kill you, if you don't open the inner city gate after an hour, the Zheng family army will immediately begin to attack the city, when the city is broken, it is your last moment in the world, by the way, there is one more thing, you can report to Gu Junen, Li Zicheng was defeated in the battle of a stone, and he was defeated, has been evacuated in the direction of the capital, and the soldiers of the Zheng family are waiting for Li Zicheng in Tongzhou, hoping that he can escape this catastrophe......"

The gates of the inner city were not opened, and Xie Yinglong was hung up by the sergeant in a hanging basket.

Watching Xie Yinglong enter the inner city, a confident smile appeared on Zheng Xunrui's face, he knew that Gu Junen would not surrender, but he would know the current affairs, the battle of Chezhou Gorge that year, it was this Gu Junen who put forward the key suggestion, so that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others could escape, otherwise at that time, Li Zicheng would have died in Chezhou Gorge.

Zheng Xunrui even believed that Gu Junen and the others could not escape, even if they left the capital, there was nowhere to go. (To be continued.) )
