Gu Pingyu, the chief soldier of the Beijing camp, took the order and left, and the eyes of several ministers present were flashing with excitement.

Fan Fucui turned to Zhou Yanru again, "Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, has been a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty for generations, and the Son of Heaven ordered him to lead the forbidden army and be responsible for the garrison of the imperial city before he fell ill. This man has been hesitant, and if he has his support, the big thing is already half the battle! ”

"There is also Hong Chengchou, this guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he also hates Li Xin to the bone. Why don't you release him from prison to help! ”

Li Shiwen, who had never had any effect, suddenly interjected that Hong Chengchou was suspicious of the Son of Heaven and went to prison because he used a series of unbearable means against Li Xin. And this person is the only one in their group who has experience in leading troops, wouldn't it be like a tiger with help if they got help?

Zhou Yanru clapped his hands and praised: "Brother Li's words are very good, the old man will arrange for his protégé to dredge, whether it will work or not depends on the will of God!" After that, his gaze turned to Fan Fucui, "Zhu Chunchen is a treacherous villain, it is delusional to expect him to wait for us to take the chestnut in the fire, it is expected that this person will be a watcher, don't worry, just wait for Gu Pingyu to gain an advantage, he will naturally meet the wind and rudder!" ”

"And Liu Yuliang, who has been making a hindrance from it, why not take this opportunity to get rid of it?"

Li Shiwen mentioned Liu Yuliang hatefully, although Liu Yuliang has no rights in the cabinet, but he has been fighting piecemeal, making him a very big block, plus this person is openly and secretly helping Li Xin, so he intends to include this person in the scope of chaos.

Fan Fucui raised his eyebrows, and his tone was quite dissatisfied.

"We have tonight's move, it is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's society, not for my own personal grudges, although Liu Yuliang and Li Xin are ambiguous, but they have never done anything bad to damage the court, how can we not ask questions and generalize?"

"Fan Fucui, you made it clear, who is doing it for his own selfish desires?"

Li Shiwen was poked in the foot, and immediately became angry, pointing at Fan Fucui's nose and questioning.

Fan Fucui snorted coldly: "Who still uses Fan's words?" ”

Seeing that the air was suddenly tense, Zhou Yanru hurriedly stepped forward to be a peacemaker.

"Calm down, tonight is already the most critical juncture, I hope you can put aside your dissent for the time being, work together, eliminate the national thief Li Xin, and help Daming Sheji!"

Zhou Yanru's words made everyone present stand up solemnly, and shouted in unison: "Kill the national thief, Kuang Fu Daming!" ”

……

The artillery of the Ming army was like a plough in the camp of the Qing army, and it bombarded repeatedly, and countless soldiers of the Eight Banners were killed and injured as a result.

The regent of the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon, had already left the range of the Ming army's artillery under the escort of the generals, and on a small hillside more than ten miles away from the city of Beijing, he looked at the lightning and thunder in the distance.

Until now, Dorgon's ears were still ringing, and the people around him had to shout out loud to be able to hear him clearly. The pain on his face was scorching, and the bloody wound was deep in the bones.

Just as the Ming artillery bombardment began, a shell landed a dozen paces away from Dolgon, and the scorching air wave made him suddenly feel difficult to breathe, and then his face was hit like a heavy blow, and a piece of metal with a scorching temperature smashed into his face.

One of the leaders climbed up the hill with a rolling belt, crying: "Regent, the barracks within the range of the Ming army's artillery have bloomed and completely collapsed!" ”

Dolgon's voice was low, cold.

"Can the Qing armor soldiers who are not in range be assembled?"

"Just wait for the regent's order!"

Dolgon nodded silently, he had been too careless before, and set up the Chinese army camp only five miles away from the Beijing city wall. This distance, even the most powerful Hongyi cannon of the Ming army, was unattainable on the city wall.

But who would have expected that the Ming army would actually touch under his nose and bombard his Chinese army, and even he himself was almost poisoned.

"Once the Ming army stops shelling, the Ming army will be attacked by two wings!"

The wound on Dolgon's face was terrifying through the flickering of artillery in the distance, and dark blood was oozing out.

No matter how much blood flowed on his face, he couldn't match the bloody heart, and this night, he would lose at least thousands or even tens of thousands of elite armorers of the Eight Banners, especially since most of these armorers were two white flags.

Dorgon began to reflect that the crushing defeat suffered by Dodor in Korea may not have been due to his own carelessness or the treachery of the Ming army stationed in Korea. If he also encountered today's hellish horror scene, how can he be invincible?

Thinking of Dordor, Dorgon felt a dull ache somewhere in his chest. Among the three brothers Azig and Duoduo, he was closest to Duoduo, who was miserable in North Korea, lost his legs, and was abused as a pig and dog.

The reason why Dorgon cruelly refused to take Dordor back to Shengjing, declaring him dead in battle, was also because a dead Dordor was far better to him than a living and crippled Dordor was far better for him.

The rumbling sound of cannon quickly pulled Dorgon back to reality from the painful meeting, and he kept his mouth shut before he commanded the general beside him:

"Send someone to Changping and tell that King Shen that if you still want to enter Beijing, you must have troops tonight, otherwise you will be delusional in the next life!"

By the end, Dolgon's voice was close to roaring.

After an initial shock and anger, Dorgon finally regained his composure and sanity before the day dawned.

The artillery that rang all night finally stopped, and the elite of the Eight Banners of the Qing Army officially engaged the Ming Army outside Beijing, and the two sides fought very beautifully. The Ming army did not respond in time before the Eight Banners entered the attack position and set up a formation.

And once the Eight Banners Elite Armorers are fully deployed, Dorgon is confident that no one has been able to block their fatal blow in a head-to-head confrontation so far.

To tell the truth, the performance of the Ming army last night was indeed very amazing, and even made him rarely chaotic, but judging from the current situation, the Ming army has sharp firearms, and in terms of military methods, it is still far from the elite of the Eight Banners.

He even believed that before the sun set, the victory of defeating or annihilating the Ming army would be delivered to him.

The only thing that bothered Dolgon a little now was that the people sent to King Shen in Changping had not heard back for a long time. This King Shen is cunning, if the lord in Beijing has half of this talent, he will not let the Ming Dynasty fall into such a field today.

"Report! Catch a Ming army spy and want to see the regent! "The light horse came to report suddenly.

"Ming army spies? Bring it on! ”

In a few moments, a Han man with a lot of flowers was pushed in front of Dolgon.

"Kneel, dead Southern Barbarian slave!"

"Kill the spy!"

The spy originally wanted to distinguish a few words, but was kicked to the ground by the angry Qing soldiers, pressed his head, and kowtowed three times between the ridges. The shelling that began in the early hours of the morning killed countless Qing troops, and the people who followed Dolgon escaped death in seven or eight out of ten.

"Don't, don't, misunderstand, misunderstand! It's not a spy below, it's a negotiating envoy sent by Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet! ”

The first assistant of the cabinet?

Dolgon was stunned for a moment, and then ordered the armorer beside him to stop.

"You're saying that you're an emissary sent by the head of the cabinet? Not the emperor of the Southern Dynasty? Nor is it Li Xin? ”

"It's the old man who is here! Dare to ask if Your Excellency is the Regent? ”

The messenger rose from the ground, in a state of disarray.

Dolgon suddenly felt a little weird, at such a critical moment, even if he sent an envoy, it would either be the Son of Heaven in the Forbidden City, or it could only be Li Xin, who commanded the army. And the old Zhou Ge who was sandwiched in the middle, as far as he knew, had shown signs of falling out of favor with the emperor of the Southern Dynasty in recent days.

"I heard that your emperor has been very sick lately?"

Despite the siege of Beijing, Dolgon heard some rumors, but they were not confirmed.

"I wonder where the Lord Regent heard the rumors? My Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty just occasionally feels a cold! ”

Dorgon let out a sigh and stopped talking.

"What does Zhou Yanru want to talk about with this king?"

The messenger suddenly said with a mysterious face: "Li Xin has long been disobedient, if the regent is willing to help me to settle the chaos......"

Dolgon laughed suddenly.

"Li Xin is in turmoil?"

Dolgon seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke, in his eyes, compared to Zhang Sizhi, Yang Sichang, Zhou Yanru and others for more than ten years, that Zhenjun Marquis Li Xin was already a full loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.

"Could it be that Zhou Yanru plans to borrow the hand of this king to get rid of Li Xin?"

"The regent is really decisive, Zhou Ge Lao has this intention!"

"What about the conditions? This king will not be in vain! ”

"As long as Li Xin is eliminated, you can rely on the regent to get what you want in Zhili Shandong!"

Dolgon's eyes narrowed with a smile and made another request.

"This is also a condition? Zhou Yanru doesn't allow it, this king can take it himself! Add three million taels of silver or talk about it, otherwise ......"

The messenger hurriedly said: "The matter of the silver taels cannot be done, and you must ask the elder for advice before you can reply to the regent!" ”

Dolgon said: "This king also wants Li Xin's military deployment and combat intentions. ”

"It's all according to the regent!"

Sending the messenger away, Dolgon couldn't help but laugh loudly, he was keenly aware that there had been unknown changes within the Ming Court, if he seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and handled it properly, he might be able to destroy the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop!

Dolgon took a few steps forward on the hillside, took the clairvoyant mirror from Goshha's hand, looked at the distant battlefield for a while, and then abruptly put it away.

It must be that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is seriously ill, otherwise the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would not be stupid enough to destroy the Great Wall, and he would not dare to do such a rebellious thing behind the emperor's back!

The only explanation is that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was seriously ill, and the struggle for power in the Ming court had gradually become white-hot......

Thinking of this, Dolgon couldn't help laughing out loud, he didn't have the heart to extinguish the light, but someone offered the opportunity with both hands, if the heavens didn't take it......
