Chapter 144: The Last Day of Shengjing (I)

Late at night on July 12 in the sixth year of Chongzhen, Liaodong, Shengjing

In the middle of the night, in the middle of the moon, the lights are sparse, and everything is silent.

Since His Majesty Huang Taiji entered the customs with the Eight Banners Force, Shengjing has suddenly become much more deserted.

When Beijing changed hands, the bannermen and nobles set up a new mansion in Beijing, and successively brought the families of Shengjing to Beijing to enjoy the blessings, and the old capital of the Jurchens lost its popularity. About ninety percent of the mansions were completely empty, and only a few clumsy servants were left in charge of daily sprinkling. Ordinary Jurchen civilians were also relocated to Shanhaiguan in large numbers to enrich the city of Beijing, which is still being planned.

Therefore, even in broad daylight, there are not many people on the streets of Shengjing. And after nightfall, it is even more black, like a dead city - all the "broad people" who can afford to light lamps and candles in this poor place in Liaodong are now basically making a fortune in Shanhaiguan!

Even in Shengjing's palace, it was just as dark and empty at this time. Those harem concubines and concubines, Gege's elder brothers, and the maids and eunuchs, moved to Beijing in batches in the spring of this year-as long as they were the slightest bit of a way, they all wanted to move to the world of flowers and flowers in Shanhaiguan.

Now in this huge palace, there are only a few more than 20 guards in turn to change guards, and the current war in the Central Plains is going on so fiercely, all the men of the Eight Banners who have a little ambition have gone to the southern battlefield to fight for the future, and the guys who were left here to guard the Shengjing Palace are basically some unusable old and weak and sick - anyway, the masters have already gone away, and there is nothing left to take care of such a pile of empty houses.

Sabusu, who originally lived next to the Phoenix Tower, where the palace concubine lived, with slightly gray hair and a hideous scar on his face, was sitting cross-legged under a small tree, listening to the annoying chirping of cicadas around him, looking at the brilliant stars in the sky, and drinking a bag of mare's milk wine boredly.

Under normal circumstances, the imperial guards guarding the palace would certainly not be so lax. But the situation doesn't seem normal at the moment.

First of all, the group of guards with the strongest and most capable martial arts had already followed Huang Taiji into Shanhaiguan to attack the Ming Kingdom last year. As for the second-class group of guards, they also escorted the concubines and the princes and daughters to Beijing in the spring of this year. In the end, only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people who no one wanted were left in this empty palace. Many of them were originally not qualified to work as errands in the palace, but because the regular guards were gone, they really couldn't make up people, so they reluctantly pulled them over to make up the numbers, and their discipline and military quality are naturally conceivable.

Secondly, the Shengjing Palace is now empty, and there is no property to take care of, and there is no half of the master to serve. No matter how diligent you are, you will not be appreciated and promoted by your master. On the other hand, no matter how bad you behave, as long as you don't make any big mess, such as setting fire to the palace or letting the homeless beggars settle in the palace, no one will punish you.

(Of course, there were Manchu officials left behind in Shengjing City, but they were not qualified to live in the palace.) And now that the Eight Banners have just entered the customs, all manpower and material resources must be inclined to the war, and there is no mind to leave many materials and manpower in the abandoned old palace of Shengjing. ）

Third, now Da Beile Daishan, who was driven back from Guannai by Huang Taiji to guard Shengjing, was already old and decrepit. Before he was just pinched by Huang Taiji's design, he was severely punished, and a lot of authority was cut, which made Dai Shan completely disheartened from then on, and after returning to Shengjing in a gloomy manner, he didn't have the heart to take care of things at all, just borrowed wine at home all day to drown his sorrows. As a result, the discipline on Sheng Jing's side became more and more lax.

Therefore, tonight, it is the turn of Sabu Su, who is on duty in the palace for the night, to drink in the palace without fear.

The night was as quiet as water, and the bright moonlight was like a transparent veil, gently spreading on the ground. The cool breeze of the summer night blew, mixed with the fragrance of flowers and plants, but it could not soothe the melancholy and loss in Sabusu's heart.

Speaking of which, in the past, Sabu Su was also a warrior who could fight bears and tigers with a short knife, but unfortunately in the battle of Daling River last year, he unfortunately first suffered an arrow in his left eye, and then a knife in his right leg, and since then he has become a one-eyed dragon and a lame, and his body bones have also been weakened. In addition, Sabusu is also relatively old, so when other people happily poured into Shanhaiguan in batches to live a good life on the border of the Han people, Sabusu was left by his master to watch his family, so he could only listen to one good news after another in the south, full of envy and greed.

“…… Alas, old man, it's really useless. Those three boys in the family are really good! It's been almost a year since I entered Shanhaiguan, and I didn't know that I would let people bring some good things back to my own Amma, and I didn't forget to leave my share to them every time I went out to grab things in the past......"

After a few big sips of mare's milk wine, Sabu Su, who was already unforgiving, immediately felt a little drunk, and then remembered the three sons who were serving under the Great Khan, and couldn't help muttering, "...... When those unfilial boys come back, I have to teach them a lesson......"

However, as the so-called wine is more sorrowful, no matter how much he complains, it can't change some sad reality.

It didn't take long for Sabusu to drink most of the bag of mare's milk wine. Just as he licked his lips unsatisfied, staggered to his feet, and wanted to mix some cold water into the wine bag, and drink for a while, there was an imperceptible sound in the distance-the next moment, a blood flower bloomed on Sabusu's forehead, and the whole person fell into the flowers, and the wine bag in his hand also fell on the spot, and the gurgling wine flowed to the ground.

The next moment, in the Phoenix Building, which should have been empty, more than a dozen figures wearing camouflage uniforms quietly appeared, each with black oil paint on their faces, and night vision devices on their helmets. The leader was holding a sniper rifle with a silencer, and after observing the surrounding terrain, he whispered into the wireless phone microphone attached to his helmet, "...... A target has been found and has been confirmed to be cleared, please indicate! ”

“…… Very good! Continue to expand the reconnaissance area and clear all targets in the palace without leaving any survivors! Please reply when you receive it! ”

“…… Roger, understood! The captain replied, and at the same time made a few gestures to the special combat team members around him, and the trained special combat team members immediately nodded in understanding, and each of them scattered around his waist and disappeared into the deep night......

At the same time, more and more camouflage soldiers continued to enter the Shengjing Palace from the Vladivostok base through the Phoenix Tower.

After another two hours, after confirming that the entire Shengjing Palace had been sniped and killed, and all the palace gates were controlled. The special combat team members simply moved out of the relatively narrow Phoenix Tower and placed it on the empty square between the Dazheng Hall and the Ten Kings Pavilion.

Next, a group of soldiers from all over the world, but uniformly dressed in camouflage uniforms, came out through this fish, and looked curiously at this Jurchen palace by the faint morning light gradually lit up on the edge of the sky. But there are also many soldiers who gritted their teeth and were full of hatred, obviously having a deep blood feud with the Jurchen Tartars in the past - many of the soldiers recruited by the Vladivostok crossing group were fugitive Han people from Liaodong......

Next, when the roosters raised by every household in Shengjing City raised their necks and let out the first cry of the morning, accompanied by a series of loud charging horns, the doors of the Shengjing Palace also opened violently, so that the monstrous frenzy of death and destruction swept the entire city in an instant!
