Chapter 70: See also Negotiations

The land of China was full of smoke, and the two armies of the southwest and southeast of the Heaven and Earth Society advanced to the north at an incredible speed, and the momentum along the way was like a bamboo.

Mainly before the arrival of the main army of the Heaven and Earth Society, the generals and powder magazines of the military camps were assassinated and destroyed by the Thunderbolt special attack team, and they could not organize effective resistance at all, and in the end they either abandoned the city and fled, or simply abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

After the surrender of the Green Battalion Army composed of Han Chinese, it was broken up and reorganized, digested into its own army, and under the command of Wu Liuqi, while for the Tartar Eight Banner Army, it was not accepted to surrender, you either fled or died, there was no third way to go.

When Wu Liuqi raised his army, he only had 15,000 men under his command, but when he reached the land of Sichuan and Shaanxi, it had swelled to more than 200,000.

Then Wu Liuqi and the main force of the Heaven and Earth Society, they parted ways in Shaanxi, Wu Liuqi led more than 200,000 green battalion troops to continue to the north, attacking Gansu, Ningxia and other places, belonging to the land of the Ming Dynasty, not an inch is missing, must be completely recaptured.

The 30,000 main elite of the southwest road led by Fang Dahong, the lord of Hong Shuntangxiang, turned to the northeast and rushed to the direction of the capital, and they will join the main army of the southeast road in Baoding.

The army of the Southeast Road started from Fuzhou and also went all the way to the north, recapturing Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangsu, Henan, Shanxi, Shandong, Zhili and other lands.

So far, ninety percent of the land in China has been occupied by the Heaven and Earth Society, and the day of the success of the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner.

As Yang Yifei expected, the Marine Corps of the Naval Division had reached the capital in just half a month, and the outer and inner cities were defeated with almost no effort.

When it reached the Imperial City, it encountered some resistance, because the Tartar Eight Banners Army, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the Forward Battalion, the Guard Battalion, the Infantry Battalion, the Jianrui Battalion, and the Tiger Spear Battalion guarding Gyeonggi were all concentrated in the Imperial City.

And the Fengtai battalion, which is the most capable of fighting, has entered the Forbidden City, ready to defend this last line of defense, but they know in their hearts that they will not be able to stop it for long.

The Tiandihui only 20,000 marines of the Marine Division had already beaten them to their deaths, and there were still 80,000 main forces outside rushing to the capital, and it was only a matter of time before the city was broken.

Moreover, because of the destruction of the Thunderbolt team, although they had some muskets and artillery, they had no gunpowder available, and they were all lit by the enemy as fireworks.

The ministers of civil and military affairs persuaded the emperor to retreat outside the customs for the time being, and then make a comeback in the future, and the emperor took the ministers to see the queen mother in Cining Palace and asked her to move.

Who knew that the Queen Mother reprimanded them angrily: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty can be the Son of Heaven guarding the country, and the king is dead, is my Qing Emperor not as good as a king who has died in the country?" ”

"The mourning family does not leave, lives for decades, does not seek longevity and long-term vision, but seeks to leave a name in history, the mourning family would rather stand on the city wall, be blown up by the artillery fire of the thieves, and live and die with the Qing Dynasty, rather than be the lost dog who was driven away."

The emperor was reprimanded by the queen mother, and the ministers of civil and military affairs were also ashamed, when the emperor was young and vigorous, where could he hear this?

immediately said that he would not leave, he would personally put on the battle, go to the city wall to command the army, and fight to the death against the thieves, and the ministers also expressed their impassioned statements one by one, preferring to die rather than retreat.

The Queen Mother said with relief: "Okay, this is the good son and grandson of the Aixin Jueluo family, this is the loyal minister of my Qing Dynasty, the mourning family can't go into battle, and the enemy can't be killed, only prepare a cup of Zhuangxing wine, let's drink this cup of Zhuangxing wine, and go to the national disaster together." ”

The palace maid brought the wine glass, and the emperor and all the ministers drank it, and then rushed to the city wall.

However, when the emperor took the ministers to the imperial expedition, the queen mother, who kept saying that she lived and died with the Qing Dynasty, took off the human skin mask, and several palace maids around her disappeared silently in the palace under the response of her companions, and at the same time, there was also the princess Jianning who shook M.

On the phoenix bed in Cining Palace, the real Queen Mother was lying quietly on it, no longer breathing.

……

On the city wall of the noon gate, the emperor's eyes were split, looking at the high platform more than ten zhang away, tears rolled down his eyes, and he couldn't stop muttering to himself: "Father, father, how can this be?" Why is this happening? What exactly are we doing wrong? ”

The high platform was as high as the city wall, and there were four wheels underneath, which were pushed forward by dozens of disciples of the Heaven and Earth Society, and there was only one person, or a monk, on the high platform.

After the disciples of the Heaven and Earth Society pushed the high platform here, they ran back one after another, leaving only one person behind.

The army of the Heaven and Earth Society is divided into three parts, and the main gate of the Forbidden City, the Noon Gate, the Donghua Gate in the east, and the Xihua Gate in the west are tightly blocked.

The man was nothing more than an ordinary Heaven and Earth Society disciple, but he stood proudly on the spot, oblivious to the countless bows and arrows aimed at him on the city wall.

The disciple of the Heaven and Earth Society said loudly: "I know that there are at least hundreds of crossbowmen aiming their arrows at me now, but I advise you to loosen the strings, so as not to slip your hands and cause irreparable consequences. ”

"Maybe only a few of you know this master, but I can introduce you to it."

"This master is called an idiot, and his common name is ...... Aixin Jueluo Fulin, Xuan Ye, others don't recognize him, you, as a son, won't you not recognize him? ”

On the city wall, all the Eight Banners soldiers were shocked, and the crossbowmen subconsciously relaxed their bowstrings.

But the ministers were furious, and Hesheri Soetu scolded angrily: "What are you? You also dare to call me the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the current emperor. ”

Someone else shouted: "You are a nobody, what qualifications do you have to talk to my emperor?" Asked Chen Jinnan and Yang Yi to fly. ”

"That is, Chen Jinnan and Yang Yifei, two gutless bandits, dare not step forward, but send you, a nobody, to send them to death, don't you teach the world to laugh?"

"Hmph, Chen Jinnan's move is to negotiate with us, you are just a mere pawn, it is better to keep your mouth clean, I don't believe it, after killing you, Chen Jinnan can still give up negotiations because of your pawn."

The disciple of the Heaven and Earth Society sneered: "You can try it, I am the negotiator entrusted by the chief helmsman and the Yang Xiang master, and now there are at least a dozen cannons facing this high platform, as long as I die, Shunzhi will immediately turn into powder." ”

“……”

There was a sudden silence on the city wall, and everyone looked at the disciples of the Heaven and Earth Society with ugly faces, they somewhat understood why Chen Jinnan let this kid come to negotiate, he not only had a loud voice, but also spoke eloquently and clearly, and he was indeed a dry negotiator.

The emperor said in a low and hoarse voice, "What do you want to talk about?" ”

The disciple of the Heaven and Earth Society said: "It's very simple, everyone knows the current situation, my Heaven and Earth Society army will break through the Forbidden City, only in the evening." ”

"If our army launches an attack and 10,000 cannons are fired at once, the Forbidden City will inevitably be beaten to pieces, as the so-called 'palace and ten thousand rooms have been made of soil, prosperous, the people suffer, die, and the people suffer', the chief helmsman is benevolent and righteous first, and he does not want to increase the people's conscription."

"As long as you are willing to leave the Forbidden City on your own, withdraw from the Guanwai, and go back and forth from where, we will not only not pursue, but will also return a lot of hair to the old emperor of Shunzhi."

"If not, the first one to die is Shunzhi, and when heaven and earth will break through the Forbidden City, they will also kill all of them, and no one will be left."

On the city wall, the emperor and the ministers heard this, all fell silent, originally they wanted to leave, it was the queen mother's words, which made them enthusiastic, but after calming down this time, they found that it was better to stay for a useful body, and it was better to make a comeback.

Now that there is a reason for the emperor, the queen mother must have nothing to say.
