Jin Sizi stood far away on the river embankment, looking at the scene in front of him, with a smile on his face.

"Walk back to Beijing." He said to the people sent by Yunting to protect him.

Jin Sizi deliberately made himself very embarrassed, and fled back to the capital overnight, the city gate was closed, and he shouted under the city gate. The guards guarding the city saw that Jin Sizi had His Majesty's hand, and hurriedly opened the city gate.

Jin Sizi entered the city and went straight to the palace.

Jin Sizi begged to see His Majesty overnight, and Emperor Chen couldn't sleep all the time, and he had a heart in his heart, and finally took a nap when it was almost dawn, and he squinted for a long time. was called up by the chief eunuch. "Your Majesty, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites has something important to see."

Originally, the chief eunuch didn't want to pass it on for Jin Sizi, after all, the emperor only slept, so he went to call the emperor up so uninterestingly, and when the emperor was angry, he couldn't bear to walk around.

But what Jin Sizi said is serious, if the capital is broken, the chief eunuch will be fully responsible, and the chief eunuch will hear this special. You can't put a basin on your head. He immediately went to call Emperor Chen to get up.

Emperor Chen was unhappy, but he still saw Jin Sizi.

As soon as Jin Sizi came in, he was startled, "Aiqing, what's wrong?" Jin Sizi's clothes were torn, covered in mud, and his body seemed to be wounded, and it looked bloody.

"Your Majesty, Murong Qianqian doesn't know where to kill it. The old general is gone. Seeing that the situation was not good, the minister ran out with the help of his men. As soon as Jin Sizi entered, he fell to the ground and cried.

"What!" When Emperor Chen heard this, he jumped up with a brush.

"You speak slowly!"

Jin Sizi said some of the words he had made up on the road in advance, he was originally eloquent, and he made it up seamlessly. The boast of Murong Qianzhen came and went without a trace like a ghost, and the bluffing Emperor Chen was stunned.

"The old general is missing!?" Emperor Chen was shocked and angry. "The ships are burned?"

"Yes." Jin sighed prostrate on the ground. Answer.

Emperor Chen sat on the chair with a butt, his face turned white as soon as he brushed it, and in the court today, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military can say one, two, three, that is, the general of the chariot cavalry, "Who leaked the news!" Where is Murong Qianqian hiding? ”

Emperor Chen asked through gritted teeth.

Jin Sizi raised his eyebrows slightly, he really can't be too stupid, he knows that the leaky rumor, the leaky person is in front of you.

Jin Sizi naturally couldn't give himself up. "Chaozhong and Murong Qianqian are good friends." Jin Sizi said, "Or maybe Murong Qianqian has spies in the capital to monitor our every move." Besides, mobilizing all the ships and buying a large amount of fish oil and saltpeter, the movement is so big that as long as you speculate again, most of them will also figure out Your Majesty's intentions. ”

Alas! Emperor Chen sighed repeatedly, "How is this good?" "Circumference blood.

The person who could give him advice was gone, and the barrier blocking Meng Qishan was also destroyed by Murong Qianqian first, what else could he do?

"Your Majesty." Jin Sizi saw that the time was almost up, so he said, "The minister still has a plan." ”

"Hurry up, hurry up." Emperor Chen himself had no idea, and when he heard that Jin Sizi had a plan, he immediately jumped to his feet and said.

"There are two gates at the north gate of the capital, and there is an urn city in the middle, if we can design to lure Murong Qianzhen into the urn city, and then ambush it with heavy troops, we will be able to shoot Murong Qianzhen." Jin Sizi said.

Emperor Chen's eyes lit up, "That's right! What Aiqing said is extremely true! That's true! But he thought about it for a while, "When Meng Qishan comes, he will definitely use artillery fire to storm the east gate and city wall of the capital, how can he lead Murong Qianqian to the north gate?" ”

"It's better to let the minister pretend to surrender to Murong Qianqian, and His Majesty will have heavy troops at the north gate and the east gate respectively. The east gate must withstand the artillery fire of Meng Qishan, and prevent Murong Qianqian from breaking through the east gate so easily, and then pretend to surrender and open the north gate, if Murong Qianqian is in a hurry to enter the city, he will definitely be fooled! Jin Sizi said, "The old general is right, Murong Qianqian's cavalry is outside, and the number is not particularly large, it is very easy to hide, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has many soldiers in his hands, but the speed is not as fast as Murong Qianqi." If he was wandered outside by Murong Qianzhen, it would definitely be very difficult to find his traces, and even if he did, it would be difficult to catch Murong Qianzhen. Only by using this strategy to lure Murong Qianqian to the north gate can he be sure to annihilate him. ”

"Yes!" Jin Sizi's words made Emperor Chen slam the arm of the chair and stand up.

"Someone." Emperor Chen roared.

As long as the scourge of Murong Qianqi is removed, what else can Yunting, the queen, and Meng Qishan honor for?

Emperor Chen issued an order, recalled the prince in a hurry, and ordered him to strengthen the city wall at the east gate, build fortifications, and resist the artillery attack of Meng Qi Mountain, and at the same time ordered him to divide 20,000 troops to ambush near the north gate.

The prince hurriedly took the people back to Beijing, and after listening to Jin Sizi's plan, he also felt that it was very wonderful.

He was looking for Murong Qianqian outside, and he didn't have a clue at all. Rather than being blind like this, it is better to let Murong Qianqian throw himself into Luo.

Three days later, Meng Qishan led the fleet to the Yongding River outside the east gate of the capital without encountering the slightest obstruction.

The huge battleship flickered in the cold light in the sun, and the three finished glyphs lined up on the river, opening up the posture, so that the officers and soldiers of the northwest guarding the city were a little frightened when they saw this formation.

Yun Ting sent a message, in the name of Qingyuan Zhengliu and avenging the first emperor's grievances, ordering all the soldiers in the city to surrender.

After he finished reading the text, the generals who defended the city came back with a curse.

Yun Ting just smiled, turned around and returned to the cabin, Meng Qishan gave an order, and twenty warships fired at the same time, the sound shook the sky completely, the earth shook the mountains, and even the water surface of the Yongding River was shaken by the waves.

After the further improvement of the battleship by Meng Qishan, the gun tower was divided into upper and lower double layers, the upper layer fired first, the next layer was loaded with ammunition, and after the previous layer was opened, the next layer had begun to ignite.

The artillery fire was intensive, and the projectiles were shot in the air like meteors on the city walls and city gates, and it was not long before the city walls were smashed into thousands of holes, and the city gates could not withstand the first round of artillery fire and shattered.

The men inside braved the artillery fire to come to strengthen the city gate, trying to resist the artillery fire of Meng Qishan with their flesh and blood.

The men who guarded the east gate died so tragically.

Meng Qishan was fully prepared this time, and he also took fish oil and saltpeter deliberately sent by Jin Sizi on the way, which made Meng Qishan feel like a tiger.

The city wall kept firing rockets in this direction, but unfortunately the outside of the ship was covered with a layer of iron sheets, and the rockets fired from the city walls either slipped into the water or were attached to the iron sheets, but they had no effect on the hull.

Emperor Chen ordered to defend to the death, as long as Murong Qianzhen was killed, Meng Qishan's projectiles would always run out. At that time, it was time for him to make a full counterattack and kill Yun Ting and Meng Qishan.

From time to time, the prince's subordinates sent war reports. Emperor Chen's face turned pale, although he thought so, but when people came to the door, the artillery fire was so fierce, sitting in the palace, he felt that the ground was shaking, and the sound was huge, and everyone was afraid of whoever put it on him.

By the way, he still has one last trump card in his hand!

Emperor Chen thought about it, but walked quickly to the harem.

He entered the Jinhe Palace and stayed in it for a long time before he came out.

Emperor Chen's abnormal behavior was told to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother brushed her face in the palace some time ago, the effect was still good, once the Queen Mother talked to a concubine, the concubine complained, Emperor Chen went to her to do well, I don't know who came to say a few words to Emperor Chen, Emperor Chen got up and went to Jinhe Palace.

She was jealous, so she complained in front of the Queen Mother, and she also went to Jinhe Palace, where no one was allowed to enter, and the guards were extremely strict.

Jinhe Palace is a cold palace, which little fox in it makes His Majesty so nervous? After the accident of the first emperor, the concubines in the palace of the first emperor were all sent to the Jinhe Palace. Your Majesty didn't you fall in love with which of the first emperor's concubines?

The Queen Mother went to Jinhe Palace by herself and went around, and the guards of Jinhe Palace were really not ordinarily strict. Even she, the queen mother, can't get in.

Now His Majesty was banged on the door, but he ran around again, hehe, the Queen Mother laughed, maybe the person who was declared dead was locked up in the Jinhe Palace by His Majesty.

After all, the family has not been reunited, the queen mother thought, if she was in the position of Emperor Chen, she would also keep a hand for herself, and grab some chips in her hand to threaten others.

The Queen Mother called her cronies and made sure to find out who was locked up in the Jinhe Palace.

The Queen Mother had her own people around her to protect her when she was Concubine Xi, and now that she is the Queen Mother, although she rarely uses her own people, it doesn't mean that she has no one available.

She estimated that this city would not be able to hold for much time, Meng Qishan was scheming, and he would not be able to go to the dark along the way, and there must be a backup move, although the siege of the city was fierce, it might be a trick to attract people's attention.

The real plan to break the city is not on those twenty ships.

As for the strategy contributed by Jin Sizi, it can't be said that it is bad, but Jin Siazi was iron-clad when he fought against the former prince before, and he was blessed by Her Royal Highness Princess Changping, how could he say that he took refuge in Emperor Chen.

What about the stinky temper of the literati? Where did it go?

The Queen Mother stood outside the circle, and naturally saw it more clearly than Emperor Chen who was standing in the circle.

Although Emperor Chen is ambitious, he also has the help of Feng Wuchen, but it is a pity that he, like Emperor Jiayuan, is nothing without Feng Wuchen's advice.

His biggest failure is to let Feng Wuchen run away to the fiefdom, from then on, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, if he refuses to enter Beijing, in this situation, is it difficult to have spare time to go to the south to catch Feng Wuchen back?

The Queen Mother sneered, Feng Wuchen will not only set his eyes on a small fiefdom, just as the Chu family will set his eyes on the sea in the future, Feng Wuchen must be the place to the south.
