Chapter 719: Siege Mansion

Qian Qianyi came to the Ming army camp three days after Zhao Yucheng told Zhai Zhe the news.

On the same day, Feng Qin commanded Yuan Qizhou and Yan Yingyuan to fight a big battle with the Qing captives as the vanguard, and then used cavalry to cover the killing, and killed the soldiers and horses of the Han Eight Banners in defeat and returned, killing 3,000 and returning. Dolgon's army gradually could not withstand the artillery attack of the Ming army, and abandoned the poplar line this afternoon, and had withdrawn to the direction of Tongzhou.

The battlefield was littered with corpses, and the canal waterways were littered with headless corpses that no one cared about. The smell of decay spreads, attracting scattered crows. Whenever the two armies died down and the battle stopped, the black birds, which were considered hoodoos, began to hover over the battlefield.

They croaked in the twilight to make sure that no one was disturbing the open field, and they landed safely to enjoy a rare meal.

Qian Qianyi came to the Ming army camp through such a battlefield.

Fang Jin led his personal guards out of the camp and escorted the closed carriage to the Chinese army.

The singing of the Ming army spread in the dark night, and the blazing bonfire swayed to the tune of the song. It's no longer a mountain song in eastern Zhejiang, or a mountain song from some other place. After Zhai Zhe ordered that the officers and men in the army were allowed to sing to express their war intentions, they were allowed to sing their helmets and sing on duty, but only military songs were allowed.

Qian Qianyi had a hot current in his heart, this is the army of the Ming Dynasty, he doesn't know which side he is on now.

Zhai Zhe was watching barbecue horse meat.

Che Feng sent a few bloody horse legs to the Chinese army, and he remembered that the regent was very fond of eating barbecue.

The Chinese army is very large, and this is the camp of the regent, and there are only personal guards. Zhai Zhe sat alone in front of the campfire, and Bao Guang was carefully turning the wooden stick with horse meat hanging on the side.

Qian Qianyi followed Fang Jin to the campfire, he wanted to kneel on the ground and salute, but he felt that it was very inappropriate.

"Sit down," Zhai Zhe turned the knife in his hand.

There are only thick wooden piers used as benches, and Qian Qianyi has never sat on such a stool.

Zhai Zhe's attention seemed to be attracted by the scorched yellow leg of the horse, and he asked casually, "What kind of conditions does Jilharang prescribe?" ”

Qian Qianyi said: "The Qing Dynasty gave up all the land in Shanhaiguan and declared himself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty" He raised his head and said this, because he felt that this condition was very tempting.

Restoring the territory of the Ming Dynasty, no one can suppress the credit of the regent of the Ming Dynasty, is Zhai Zhe going to take that position? Therefore, Qian Qianyi was a little frightened, and his expression and demeanor became more respectful.

Zhai Zhe took the porcelain plate full of slices of meat from Bao Guang's hand, and said: "This condition is very generous, my Northern Expedition is just for these" He picked a piece of meat with a sharp knife and put it in his mouth, the horse meat was very rough and chewy.

He motioned to Bao Guang to give Qian Qianyi a plate as well.

"But this king still wants to defeat the Qing captives under the city of Beijing, so that the recovery of Beijing is a matter of course" He used a sharp knife to cut the meat of the plate, and the blade scraped the porcelain, making a "squeak" sound.

He ate a few slices of meat, then suddenly looked up and said, "You stay in my barracks, don't go back." ”

Qian Qianyi's head was dizzy, as if he had been hit by a pie falling from the sky. Is Zhai Zhe trying to recruit himself? He didn't expect that his rotten bones could still enter the eyes of the regent, and the ashes in his heart became hot again.

Bao Guang handed over another porcelain plate, Qian Qianyi took it, he carefully picked up a piece of meat, and a shadow suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Thank you for your love, but Hedongjun is still in Beijing, and Weichen doesn't dare to obey his fate" When he said this, he was very sorry in his heart, but there was an indescribable relief.

Zhai Zhe squinted his eyes and smiled: "Then you can go back, go back tonight, Zierharang wants to give a qiē to this king, this king will go and get it himself." ”

The horse meat was very hard, Qian Qianyi's teeth were very bad, and he chewed a few pieces of meat with difficulty.

Zhai Zhe instructed: "Fang Jin, send Qian Shilang out of the camp, and let Che Feng escort him fifty miles to the north."

"Obedience"

There were only twenty men in the mission, and nineteen cavalrymen escorted the dying Qian Qianyi. He hid in the carriage and walked through the bustling camp, and the surroundings gradually became peaceful

Che Feng led 500 elite horsemen to send them through today's battlefield and led their troops back. There was a terrible "quack" sound under the blurred moonlight, Qian Qianyi's face was as pale as dirt, he knew that this mission was difficult, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

His accompanying guards were all Han Chinese, and in order to hide the news, Zilharang secretly sent him out of Beijing. It's not easy to sneak back now.

The cavalry commander was at a loss and asked, "Lord Qian, where are you going now?" ”

Qian Qianyi lamented: "Where else can I go, of course I will go back to Beijing City" He suddenly regretted a little, if he had promised Zhai Zhe to stay in the camp of the Ming army just now, he should be able to return to Jiangnan soon.

"Let's go"

Nineteen horsemen escorted a wagon north in the middle of the night, avoiding the direction of the Qing camp. The towns around Gyeonggi had long been empty, and they hadn't seen a single person for a long time. Among the cavalry were people who were proficient in the art of scouting, knew the roads of the city of Beijing, and the group would not get lost in the middle of the night.

Suddenly, a group of horsemen with torches came up from the oncoming road, and they came towards the carriage from a distance.

The cavalry commander's voice was flustered, and he said through the curtain of the carriage: "Lord Qian, someone is coming."

Qian Qianyi asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Probably a scout for a large battalion patrol"

Qian Qianyi lifted the curtain and jumped down, he was so old and had such good skills, and the knights guarding both sides of the carriage were startled.

"Quick, find a place to hide" Qian Qianyi looked left and right, and saw a small forest not far away, and walked towards it with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The cavalry drove the carriage down the avenue and hid in the grove with Qian Qianyi.

After a while, the patrolling cavalry arrived, this is a cavalry of three or four hundred people, the torches are smoking strongly, the horses are panting heavily, and it seems that they have patrolled a long distance. Qian Qianyi lay on the rough tree, slowing down his breathing.

The cavalry slowly passed by the place where they had descended from the official road, and were about to pass, when suddenly one of the cavalrymen in the last row raised his torch in his hand and shouted, "My lord, there is a carriage here."

The cavalry queue stopped, the torches lined up in an arc, and a gray horse dragged a brown carriage to stop in the middle of the arc encirclement.

A flat-faced Mongol urged his horse to the carriage to examine it carefully for a moment, waved a torch in his hand and ordered: "Search for me"

Qian Qianyi's head "buzzed", and he slumped softly under the tree.

Half an hour later, the rude Mongols pulled Qian Qianyi into the big tent of the Chinese army in the Qing camp.

Dorgon sat on the fur-covered throne, with Muziren and Sukh Saha by his side.

The warrior threw Qian Qianyi in, and Dolgon looked at him coldly: "Qian Shilang, hello Yaxing, did you come to inspect the battlefield in the middle of the night?" ”

Qian Qianyi lay on the ground, his legs trembling like chaff, "Lord Wang"

"Say, why are you here?"

"Lord, minion, minion......"

Sukh Saha stepped down, leather boots on his white fingers, and shouted in a deep voice: "Say"

Qian Qianyi shouted as if he had been whipped with a whip: "It was Zierharang who ordered the minions to go to the Ming military camp to negotiate peace, and the minions had no choice" He didn't understand, was this Zhai Zhe's punishment for his refusal to stay in the Ming camp, and he actually threw them on the dark battlefield like this.

He did not hide anything, but confided what he knew.

Muziren and Sukh Saha looked at Dorgon worriedly.

Dolgon's face was as white as winter snow. He turned his head and asked, "Suke Saha, when you entered Beijing City, did the Queen Mother say that peace would be discussed?" ”

"Nope"

"You order 2,000 cavalry, and go back to Beijing after dawn"

Mu Zilun and Sukh Saha spoke out almost simultaneously to dissuade: "Lord Wang"

Su Ke Saha just came back from Beijing City, and he had more right to speak, saying: "The Queen Mother has replaced all the guards in the Forbidden City with people with yellow flags, and the prince is now returning to the city, I am afraid that there will be danger."

"What are you afraid of" Dolgon slammed his right palm on the desk, "I'm still the regent of the Qing Dynasty, I want to see who dares to be rude to me, Sony?" Sue full? It is a capital offense for Zilharan to negotiate peace, and if I do not kill him, how can I deal with the soldiers who die in battle today."

Muzilun took a step forward, and Sukh Saha pursed his lips.

"I am still the regent of the Qing Dynasty" Dolgon stepped down from the main seat, did not look at Mu Zilun and Suke Saha, nor did he look at Qian Qianyi again, and walked straight into the big tent of the Chinese army. His head was dizzy and he needed to find a quiet place to lie down.

The next day, at the beginning of the rising sun, Sukh Saha's 2,000 cavalry with white flags escorted Dolgon on the road to the city of Beijing. Muzilun and Bolo were ordered to temporarily lead the military affairs

Dorgon donned his white armor and was hidden in the shadows.

Tongzhou is on the outskirts of Beijing, and soon reaches the south gate. Fierce battles have been fought outside the city for several days, and the city of Beijing has been under martial law. When the defenders saw the regent soldiers driving back to the city, they did not dare to delay, and obediently opened the gate of Beijing.

The news spread quickly in Beijing, "The regent has returned to the city" Beizi and the guards of the two yellow flags jumped and gathered to the mansions of several people.

Two thousand white flag cavalry stopped on the street at the gate of the southern city, and Sukh Saha turned around and asked, "Lord, where are we going?" ”

Dolgon ordered: "Go to the palace of Prince Heshujan"

Zilharang's mansion was very close to the imperial city, and the two thousand cavalry went in the direction of the imperial city, which made people have to be vigilant. Dorgon ordered a thousand cavalry to go to the Regent's palace to wait, and asked Sukh Saha to lead the other half of his men to capture Zilharang.

The cavalry of the white flag surrounded the palace of Prince Heshuo Jian, and Sukh Saha Saber led two hundred soldiers to break through the door.

In the palace, chickens and dogs jumped, and family members cried and ran and were driven to the backyard. The two yellow flags, the powerful guards who shouted on weekdays, were nowhere to be seen.

After a cup of tea, Sukh Saha withdrew from the palace and told Dolgon: "Zilharang is not in the palace, and the people in the palace say that he went to the palace to meet the queen mother."

"Now only the Queen Mother can keep him," Dolgon urged the horse to turn around, "Let's go, go to the Imperial City"
