Chapter 622: Captives enter Beijing
Early in the morning, there was another big event in the capital, and the sensation caused by this major event was comparable to the scale of the arrival of the God King a few days ago, that is, the Qing army came to the city!
This is definitely a shocking and easy to cause panic, so when the people outside the city panicked and spread the news into the city, it immediately made the people of the capital frightened.
The Qing army approached the capital several times, and those who were vividly in the past, up to the royal family, down to the pawns, no one who had not been afraid in those days, and now the former Heavenly God King also said that the Qing army was chased and killed by him all the way south, how did he suddenly return to the capital in a blink of an eye, according to those people outside the city, there were as many as nearly 30,000 horses! Could it be that a force has been broken out.
The news was quickly caught by the five battalions of the Praetorian Guard who gave up the capital, and they were immediately shocked, and hurriedly sprinkled the spies, and after half an hour, they almost didn't cut down the people outside the city who were sending the message!
It is true that there are nearly 30,000 Qing troops outside the city, and it is true that there are soldiers about three miles under the city, but they are only prisoners, and the 30,000 Qing army ambush soldiers with their hands and feet tied are escorted by Qi Yilong's thousands of soldiers and horses to go to the western suburbs, because the Fuxing God King builds the God King's Mansion and needs a large number of laborers.
After figuring out the situation, the people of the capital immediately straightened their backs from the panic at the beginning, and began to run towards Xibianmen in groups of three or five, because they heard where the captives passed by!
If you ask Chongzhen whether he hates internal thieves or external humiliation, he will think about it, and will he be entangled in whether it is hateful to dig the ancestral grave or robbed by burglary, but if you ask who the people of the capital hate, nine times out of ten they are pointing at the Qing army, the reason is very simple, although the thieves and others make a lot of trouble, after all, they are still some distance away from the capital, unlike the Qing army, which sneaks to the door of the house in the blink of an eye and makes a mess, and it is not once or twice. has been plagued for so many years, but he has never been caught, and now it is obviously very different, so the resentment of holding back the hatred of the family and the country for many years is about to burst out.
The 30,000 prisoners and more than 5,000 officers and soldiers escorted were a lot of people and a long procession, but there were no more people than the people along the way, and they couldn't fight as long as the people who came to fight in a frenzy.
Qi Yilong's mental outlook is very good, riding on a black war horse looks particularly majestic and high-spirited, and he especially advises a person around him to carry a big flag to maintain a posture. Because there is a big Qi floating on the flag, this is a special thing with a long face!
Relatively good officers and soldiers, the Qing prisoners did not have the same high spirits as when they entered the customs, one by one curled up their heads, listless, numb movements, from time to time they had to bear the whip of the escort officers and soldiers, urging them to go faster, and now they have to bear the warm welcome of the people of the capital!
The people of the capital have always been very hospitable. Treat these neighbors who often come to the door is even more enthusiastic, use eggs, pull it, you have to eat it yourself this year. Green cabbage radish? Come on, what about the shabu-shabu at night, so I have to show a little bit, of course. Verbal warm greetings to the ancestors of the eight generations, 37 degrees of spit are sent for free, and the gravel and soil lumps on the side of the road do not need money!
When the news of tens of thousands of Qing army captives entering Beijing reached the imperial palace. Chongzhen was eating, and he had invited Lu Wang to have breakfast at eight o'clock, but more than ten minutes ago, Jinyiwei sent a message that the god king left to go to Shanhaiguan only twenty minutes later, which made him feel a little lost, but he didn't expect such a letter to come after a while, and immediately the emperor couldn't sit still, why? Because I've never seen so many Qing prisoners!
When Chongzhen was busy watching the excitement in the palace, the boundary of the Summer Palace was really lively, there were more than 1,000 Yulin troops originally stationed here, and they now need to change their guards, and this will become their forbidden place in the next few days, because Qi Yilong has taken over all the defense work here.
The captives who arrived one after another were squatting on the ground in an open space with their heads in their hands, and the mountains of barbed wire next to them would be their first job, and they could only eat the only meal of the day by completing the task on time, and the ropes strung on them during work were not allowed to be untied, but anyone who found an abnormal exception would be killed on the spot!
However, it was already a great gift that the emperor who captured the Ming Dynasty did not cut them directly, although they did not know that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had no right to touch them at all.
Although the weather is cold, although there is not enough to eat, but not dying is an opportunity, not to mention that the Great Ming God King also said, work for two years, let them go back!
The villas by the lake are gone, if you look carefully, you will find that the pale yellow buildings can be faintly seen on the small island covered by the woods in Kunming Lake, yes, this Dokdo Island, which was later called Nanhu Island, became Tian Xiuying's territory, which is still considered by Lu Wang, because soon this vicinity will be a large construction site, it will become noisy, so the villa was moved to this small island.
It was very surprising that Tian Xiuying liked this quiet island very much, and said with a smile that she wanted to make this place a paradise on earth, and asked Lu Wang if he could transfer this island to him, Lu Wang didn't care about it, he just took it if he liked it, but he made another person unhappy, that is, Zhu Yujiao, because she always wanted this island to come and build a princess mansion!
Lu Wang laughed at this, pointed to the two small islands in the South Lake and West Lake and said that she could choose one of them, although Zhu Yujiao felt that Nanhu Island was still close to the Shenwang Palace on the Urn Mountain, but after all, Lu Wang had already agreed to help him build the princess's mansion, and finally showed a smile on his face, but Lu Wang sighed deeply, there is no Summer Palace in the future, let alone the Mirror Pavilion and Zaojian Hall!
When Lu Wang left, Qi Yilong's men did not arrive, and he had no time to wait, so after moving the villa to Nanhu Island, he left Tian Xiuying a lot of medicines, and hurriedly left with a few guards after giving detailed instructions on the dosage and dosage.
For him to say that the harvest of this trip to the capital is slow, pretending to be a ghost is a trivial matter, and holding the world's military power openly is the biggest gain, as for opening a store to make money, it is all expected, even Tian Xiuying's illness is not accidental, coronary heart disease is only, surgery is impossible, but bring so many medicines, to ensure that this stunning beauty can not die for the time being.
At this time, it is the cold winter wax moon, here is the black mountain white water, here the Yanshan mountain range, out of the capital to the north is the continuous river and deep ravine, especially in this cold wind raging, dripping into ice season, can be described as inaccessible, but there is such a soldier and horse is wearing the stars and the moon, marching against the cold, they are the two general soldiers of the original Ming Dynasty, the first and third armies and the fourth army of the Ming army, Zhou Yuji and Cao Bianjiao's men and horses!
Zhou Yuji and Cao Bianjiao are both ruthless people, ruthless to the enemy, ruthless to themselves, since Lu Wang casually issued a military order for his second army to go to Shanhaiguan in five days, which is impossible to complete the task in the ordinary army, but the two gritted their teeth and didn't know if it was to fight for breath, or wanted to give Lu Wang a roll of the eyes, and arrived at a mountain col twenty miles away from Shanhaiguan on the fifth day.
The non-stop running day and night, coupled with the cold and freezing early in the morning, made the military horses extremely tired, and the soldiers began to complain constantly, but under the strict orders of Zhou Cao and the others, they could only dare to be angry and dare not speak, but seeing that it was already noon, Zhou Yuji ordered to rest on the spot, anyway, twenty miles and an afternoon were casually completed.
A fire was lit in the proposed tent, and the four main and deputy army commanders Zhou Yuji, Cao Bianjiao, Bai Tengjiao and Li Fuming gathered around and took off their boots and began to roast the fire, talking about the past few days from time to time!
Of course, it's about Lu Wang, although the army set off first, but no matter how fast the more than 40,000 people are, they can't be faster than the fast horses of Jinyiwei, the walkie-talkie of the Military Affairs Department, they already know about it in the middle of the road, the news that Lu Wang entered the Fu God King, although there are some surprises but it can be understood, the most shocking thing for them is the sentence, the Fu God King General Affairs of the World Military Affairs, that meaning is understood again, from now on Lu Wang will become their master, not only eat and drink but also receive wages from there, What's more, whether it is promotion, pardon, etc., it will be this master who will say it in the future!
The four of them also have knowledgeable people, no matter who they listen to, as long as they work for the Ming Dynasty, as long as they can drive out the Tartars, the problem is that the situation outside the gate is so urgent now, I don't know how the God King will break the siege.
"My lord, Shanhaiguan Ma is here to see" Just when the four of them were chatting, a herald hurriedly ran in, and the four of them were stunned: "Please!" ”
