Volume 1 Chapter 12: Out of the City

Ling Jingyang also took a step at a time, he wanted to save Chongzhen, but also wanted to save the newborn Dashun, Dashun Dynasty and Da Ming, too young, and Manchu Qing, still a child, and was defeated by the Manchu and Ming Dynasty jointly, relying on the remnants to form the Kuidong Thirteen in the Kuidong region, continue to raise the banner of resistance to the Qing Dynasty, and it is also the last Ming army in mainland China to resist the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Ling Jingyang's heart has changed a little bit, that is, from saving Daming to saving Dashun, both want to save, but the reality is that no one can save him, he is just a sentry general in Dashun, although he was promoted to the head of the ministry soon after, there are more than 120 people under his command, how useful can this more than 100 people be, half of the Manchu Qing Dynasty Niu Lu can kill all the soldiers under his command.

After Ling Jingyang became familiar in the barracks, he took the old steamed buns to the capital to hang around, the two belonged to the Chinese army, and there were other Dashun troops in the capital, so the city was crowded with all kinds of military uniforms and soldiers of the Dashun Army.

At this time, the order of the capital was still in order, and as soon as Ling Jingyang walked to the main road, he met a fierce general, leading a large group of well-equipped armored soldiers to enter from the city gate.

"Mr. Lingsen, that's General Li."

The old steamed bun pointed to the group of soldiers to Ling Jingyang and told him that it was General Li, and Ling Jingyang asked, "Which General Li?" ”

"A tiger has passed."

Ling Jingyang nodded, Li Guo is Li Zicheng's nephew, but he is almost the same age, Ling Jingyang is a large number of Li Guo's soldiers and horses, but suddenly heard the sound of the horn, the old mantou's face changed, and said: "Sentry chief, let's go back quickly, this is the Chinese army camp is gathering." ”

The two hurriedly rushed to the barracks, and after returning to the barracks, they found that the atmosphere in the barracks was very serious, and the lieutenant ordered all the troops to be assembled, and the two flags each led the five department commanders and subordinate soldiers and horses to assemble on the west side of the barracks.

Li Daowei came to the troops with a straight face, looked at all his subordinates, and roared: "In the past few days, soldiers in all battalions have died tragically on the streets, and our battalion also has them. ”

Hearing this, Ling Jingyang scolded himself for not doing things well, and he knew that he should have thrown the three miscellaneous corpses into the moat.

Zhang Shun wanted to stand up, but he was about to be promoted to the head of the flag, and he also knew that the three people were Ling Jingyang's whistle, Ling Jingyang held his breath in the crowd, firmly believing that Li Daowei would not be angry because of the three rogues, and he should have other important things to do when he assembled the team.

Sure enough, Li Daowei continued: "From today onwards, our battalion army will open Baoding Mansion, and if anyone is slaughtered again, all of them will be sent home to Lao Tzu." ”

In fact, it is not only that Ling Jingyang killed three rogues, in all corners of the capital, there are remnants of the Ming army resistance forces, they hide in the shadows, specifically sneak attack Dashun soldiers, only last night, there are more than 50 Dashun soldiers were attacked, of which more than 40 people died, these sneak attack Dashun soldiers, most of them surrendered to the Ming soldiers, there is no strict discipline of the Dashun army, after entering the capital, relax their vigilance, drink and have fun in the city, and it is not pitiful to be attacked to death.

This also led to Yu Shangyou, the secretary of the military department, being scolded by His Majesty, feeling that the army was staying in the city like this, which was really a waste of troops, and it was not conducive to the construction of local power, so the secretary of the military department wrote Li Zicheng and suggested that some soldiers and horses in the city should support Baoding Mansion.

At this time, the Ming army of Baoding Mansion was besieged by the South Road Army led by Liu Fangliang, the general of the left battalion system, because the Ming Army of Baoding Mansion swore to resist to the death, and the attack of the South Route Army was frustrated.

Niu Jinxing, a scholar of Tianyoudian University, thought that there were too many soldiers and horses in the capital, and there was not enough food to eat, so he also wrote to Li Zicheng to let the surplus troops in the capital pass on to the world with His Majesty's holy decree, establish a local government belonging to Dashun, and let the local government of the Ming court collapse.

Li Zicheng agreed with Niu Jinxing's opinion and ordered the troops in the capital to go to Henan, Shandong, Beizhili and other state capitals, and all the local power of the Ming Dynasty belonged to Dashun.

At the same time, there was also good news in Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui decided to surrender to the Dashun Dynasty, Tang Tong led 8,000 troops to Shanhaiguan smoothly, the entire north is the sphere of influence of the Dashun Dynasty, and the Ming army in Datong under the leadership of the general soldier Jiang Pai also became part of the Dashun army.

Because the entire north is confiscated, the soldiers and officials of the Dashun army only need to lead the soldiers and horses to take over the Ming regime, but Li Daowei's troops support Baoding Mansion, but he is angry enough.

Everyone knows the prosperous place of the capital, and it is not easy to capture the capital and want to enjoy it in the capital, but after only a few days of kung fufu, he was sent to Baoding Mansion to support the Southern Route Army in the battle.

After the military order was issued, Li Daowei and several other generals who supported Baoding Mansion got together, they were all Liu Zongmin's subordinate generals, and they were sent to Baoding Mansion by Li Zicheng.

In fact, the siege of Baoding Mansion by the Southern Route Army was only a temporary setback, and the Ming army of Baoding Mansion refused to surrender, but it was just a mantis arm as a car, and the Ming army and civilians in Baoding City had no ability to continue to hold the city, and it was only a matter of time before it was broken by the Dashun Army.

Liu Fangliang didn't expect the capital to send him reinforcements, isn't this a slap in the face, thinking that he is not effective in fighting, a small Baoding City, it will take several days, and ordered the troops to storm it, Baoding City Zhizhou He Fu, Tongzhi Shao Zongyuan, Jinshi Zhang Luojun, Wujinshi Zhang Luofu and other brothers led the army to defend the city, and once again repelled Liu Fangliang's several attacks.

In Lixian County in the south of Baoding City, the general soldier Ma Dai led the troops to garrison, echoing Baoding City, Liu Fangliang was strong and strong, but the reinforcements came from the capital, and he was embarrassed to take away all the credit, temporarily stopped the siege, and waited for reinforcements from the capital under the city.

In the capital, the troops supporting Baoding Mansion began to set off, Ling Jingyang's battalion army, under the leadership of Lieutenant Li Daowei, began to pull out the village, the various departments have packed up weapons and supplies, under the guidance of the front road out of the south gate, to the direction of Baoding Mansion, because the troops suddenly have a combat mission, Zhang Shun was promoted to the flag This matter was temporarily put on hold, Li Daowei decided to wait for the end of the war to promote him.

......

At the south gate of the capital, all the troops are waiting in line, not only the Chinese army, but also some troops in the rear battalion, who are also transferred to Baoding Mansion to fight, every soldier who goes out of the city stays at the city gate for one to two seconds, Ling Jingyang did not notice this detail at first, and when his army passed through the city gate, he saw that at the city gate, there were three people who were dressed differently from the soldiers of the Dashun army, and every Dashun soldier who went out of the city had to let them look at it, and there was no problem before they could go out of the city.

Ling Jingyang, Wang Chengen, and Chongzhen immediately understood that this was looking for Chongzhen, and the people waiting at the city gate turned out to be a palace maid and two eunuchs, they not only knew Chongzhen, but also knew Wang Chengen.

Seeing that the team was about to pass through the city gate, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Ling Jingyang's forehead, and his heart was pounding, whether to draw his sword and kill out of the city gate, or sit back and wait to be killed, or shout that Chongzhen is here, and exchange Chongzhen for the high-ranking officials of the Dashun Army?

The other soldiers in the department had no faces, and some soldiers even wished to hurry, because they waited at the city gate for an hour, many soldiers complained, and most of them still did not want to leave the capital, and besides, going to Baoding Mansion was a battle, and the battle would kill people, or a tragic siege battle.

The old steamed bun was also a little angry, not that he left the capital to fight in the city, but that he was not used to seeing some Dashun soldiers listless, he and Ling Jingyang said: "Mr. Sentinel, aren't you going out of the city gate?" This is not out of the city, you look at these people again, all of them are like wilted wheat seedlings. ”

How can Ling Jingyang have the mind to talk nonsense with the old steamed buns, after a while, it will be their turn to go out of the city, those people will definitely know Chongzhen, Ling Jingyang squinted his eyes and was brainstorming, at this moment, if it rains heavily and there is a sudden earthquake, it will be good to stir the capital into a pot of porridge.

But there was no rainstorm, and there was no earthquake, the team slowly passed through the city gate, Ling Jingyang gritted his teeth, and was ready to take Chongzhen to forcibly rush to the pass, Chongzhen was also trembling, he really didn't want to be tied up by someone and give it to Li Zicheng, that was his shame, and it was also a shame for the Zhu family's royal family.

There are still ten meters away from the city gate, the first to pass through the city gate is the captain and his personal soldiers, the palace maid and the eunuch swept over everyone's face, there is no Chongzhen, and there is no one to know, followed by Zhang Shunhe The first post, the second post, the third post, there is no problem, pass one by one, and then go to the fourth, fifth, and sixth posts where Ling Jingyang is.

Ling Jingyang stiffened his head and walked forward with his subordinates, his hands were trembling, many times he had the idea of dying together, and there were even auditory hallucinations in his ears, feeling that the nearby Dashun soldiers were unsheathed and wanted to break him into pieces.

But then there was no action, the fourth post passed smoothly, and the fifth and sixth posts also came out.

Ling Jingyang was stunned, and Chongzhen was also blind, what was going on, why did he suddenly leave the city?

Chongzhen was actually ready to commit suicide, but the palace maid and the eunuch didn't see him at all, and let him pass, when Wang Chengen passed through the city gate, he looked at the appearance of these palace maids and eunuchs, and suddenly realized that this palace maid and the two eunuchs were newcomers, and they had been on errands in the outermost part of the palace, and they were not qualified to enter the deep palace.

There is another point, the palace maid and the eunuch guarded at the city gate for a day and a night, never slept, they were already in a daze, even if there were people they knew through the city gate, they also subconsciously let it pass, after Ling Jingyang and others went out of the city, they waited at the city gate for a while, this time the waiting time was not long, mainly the queues, unified to Baoding Mansion.

When Ling Jingyang was in line, he still had palpitations, Wang Chengen quietly told him that those palace maids and eunuchs had not seen them, and since they were out of the city, did they want to find an opportunity to slip away from the Dashun army?

"No, go to Baoding Mansion first, and wait until Baoding Mansion is watching, and run away at this time, I'm afraid that I will be beheaded by the Dashun Army Inspector Team as a deserter."
