Qin Zuoming led the army under his command to disguise himself and act as a welcome man.

Coupled with the latest order from Dolgon, the road was unimpeded, and he arrived directly in Fengtai.

Fengtai is only 36 miles from the Forbidden City, and 30 miles from the outer city wall of Beijing.

The army was stationed, and the Tanma was sent out by Qin Zuoming, but it was not easy to send it.

The people who approached the city of Beijing were all completely ordered to shave their heads, and whoever didn't shave their heads would have their heads cut off.

I can't control the people in the distance, but the people near the capital, if they can reach the knife, they have to shave their hair.

Now Qin Zuoming is with a group of soldiers who don't shave their heads, but it is not good to enter the city to act as an internal response.

"Liu Zhiyuan, Zu Zerun." Qin Zuoming beckoned the two of them over: "Now is the time to use you." ”

"Although Qin Dashuai commanded, the two of us will definitely seize the opportunity of transformation."

Liu Zhiyuan directly stated that they had all hit Fengtai, and Dolgon was still kept in the dark.

The opportunity to storm the city of Beijing and capture the Shunzhi Emperor alive was in front of him.

Everyone knows what to choose!

Besides, Liu Zhiyuan didn't think that the walls of Beijing City could withstand Qin Zuoming's bombardment.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't guard Li Zicheng's explosives back then, and Liu Zhiyuan didn't think that Dolgon could withstand the baptism of artillery.

Moreover, because of the previous prosperity, the city of Beijing has long lacked the ability to resist foreign enemies, and when the Ming Dynasty was still there, the Mongols were able to rush into the city.

Not to mention now.

"Find out the distribution of soldiers in Beijing, if you can get a map of the Qing army's troops." Qin Zuoming didn't say it to death.

Zu Zerun immediately became a spirit, knelt on the ground and said: "Commander, please rest assured, give me two days, and I will definitely come to report." ”

"Okay, pay attention to spreading the news of Prince Ying's tragic death in Shanxi, and disturb the troubled waters of the capital."

"Yes."

Liu Zhiyuan and Zu Zerun glanced at each other, and now everyone knows that Azig confronted Jiang Hao in Shanxi.

But to say that Azig is dead, anyway, it is easy to do.

Who knows if it's true or not.

Qin Zuoming gave an order and sent someone to give them two fast horses.

After Lei Datou saw that the people were gone, he said: "Lao Jiu, be careful of being deceived by the two of them." ”

"Even if they go to Dolgon, will Dolgon believe them?" Qin Zuoming smiled: "They have already died in Sichuan and Shu with Haoge."

Besides, they had already been captured by me once, and this was the second time, and Dorgon was very suspicious. ”

Qin Zuo ordered people to control the entire Fengtai County early tomorrow, close the city gates, and not allow people to go out.

"Regardless of them, after we rest for a day, we will besiege Beijing City, if there is a distribution of troops, it is better, if there is no us, we will fight."

"We only have 50,000 people, and the total length of Beijing is nearly 50 miles, and our follow-up people are still on the way."

Putting a thousand people in one mile is really a bit of cerebral palsy, and it is easy to be broken through, and the siege must not be done like this.

Just let a few more teams patrol on horseback.

Lei Datou pointed to the map of Beijing drawn during the Apocalypse: "The outer city walls are all four zhang high and upward, the wall is eight zhang wide, there are nine gates, and it is roughly estimated that there are 30,000 Tartar soldiers stationed there."

If these Tartars break out of Beijing, we may not be able to intercept them. ”

"We first bombarded Chaoyangmen and cut off the food supply in the city, anyway, now the city is inhabited by either dogs and Tartars, or a gang of traitors, and almost all the ordinary people live outside the city."

Qin Zuoming pointed to the map and said: "When the grain enters Chaoyangmen, it is stored in the nearby granary, and we will burn it all first." ”

"Well, yes."

Lei Datou has nothing soft to deal with Tartars, even if the grain is important, it must be burned.

"As for Dongzhimen, it is the poorest place in Jiumen, with suburban pot kiln vendors and daily miscellaneous goods occupying the urn city, the urn city is not guarded by the Qing army, and it is advisable to occupy the urn city as soon as possible."

Qin Zuoming pointed to the location of the Xuanwu Gate:

"There are many arrow towers in the urn city here, it is not easy to attack, so we must block the nine gates, and we must not let the Tartars flee on a large scale, waiting for our army to come."

"Understood, I first sent someone to burn the granary of Chaoyangmen, and then attracted the attention of the Qing army and took the opportunity to occupy Dongzhimen."

Lei Datou went down to make arrangements.

Inside the city of Beijing.

Dolgon had just received a report from a messenger that Shang Kexi's troops had been stationed in Fengtai County, and he wanted to summon Shang Kexi to Beijing to inquire about the pacification of the rebellion in Jiangnan.

Especially after Azig's defeat in Shanxi, the remaining Qing army would inevitably be unable to resist Qin Zuoming's vanguard.

It is highly likely that they will follow the defeated Qing army, invade Shuntianfu, and reach the city of Beijing.

Once this happens, you will be at a passive disadvantage.

When it was getting dark, Chen Mingxia asked to see him.

Chen Mingxia was the leader of Chongzhen for 16 years, married the world's celebrities, hanged himself in the capital city, surrendered to Dashun, and then switched to the Qing court.

At the same time, he was also the leader of the Han bureaucracy in the south, and the party struggle between the north and the south at the end of the Ming Dynasty still continued in the Qing court.

After Dolgon entered Beijing, he repeatedly admonished Dolgon to usurp the throne as emperor.

Although Dolgon rejected him every time, Dolgon also favored Chen Mingxia very much, thinking that he was his own.

After all, making Fulin emperor was the result of Dorgon's compromise, and he wanted to be emperor too.

Chen Mingxia was appointed by Dolgon as a squire and a bachelor in the ministry.

"The minister has seen the regent." Chen Mingxia knelt on the ground and greeted Dolgon.

"Chen Qing, what's wrong?" Dorgon was worried about the battle that would follow.

"Regent, now there are rumors in Beijing that Prince Azig of England was defeated in Shanxi."

Chen Mingxia immediately raised his head and earnestly admonished: "If there is rebellion everywhere today, the emperor is young, and when he grows up, the courtiers who follow him will also be old."

Therefore, at this critical moment, the regent should come forward and ascend the throne as the emperor for the sake of my Qing Dynasty for thousands of generations, and stabilize the hearts of his subjects.

Our subordinates are all eagerly looking forward to the regent, who can lead us to exterminate the rebels as emperors. ”

Chen Mingxia is worthy of being a celebrity and has an excellent advantage in touting people.

In short, Dorgon was in a good mood, anyway, Hauge is dead, who else in the world can stop him from ascending to the throne of God?

But the only thing wrong was that Azig was defeated in Shanxi, and Duoduo was still far away in Mongolia to quell the rebellion.

The two yellow flags loyal to Shunzhi are afraid that they will not be arrested.

The army does not have an advantage, and Qin Zuoming's rebellion has not yet been pacified, so it is too early to say.

"This matter will be discussed after the rebellion is put down by Dodor."

Dolgon did not refuse again, in short, he was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Chen Mingxia was immediately overjoyed, and promised to persuade him next time, so he agreed.

Dolgon turned his head and asked, "You just said that there are rumors on the street that Prince Azig died in Shanxi?" ”

"That's true." Chen Mingxia stood up: "I don't know who leaked the news." ”

"Hmm."

Dolgon nodded, those Ming generals who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, after they were disarmed, most of them had contacts.

For these people, especially those who were forced to surrender, although they were not killed, Dolgon did not trust these people at all.

Now that Azig has been killed, it may be that there is the instigation of these people behind it.

While Dolgon was thinking, Tan Tai hurriedly came in to report it.

"Regent, a fire suddenly broke out in Chaoyangmen, and the Lumi warehouse, the shipping warehouse, the new Taicang, etc., were all set on fire by the thieves."

Chen Mingxia knew that the grain reserves in the capital were there, and he never thought that such a disaster would break out.

Dorgon hurried out of the main hall, and looked into the distance, only to see a fire rushing to the sky, and it was by no means a small fire.

You must know that the fire prevention work of the granary attaches great importance to it, and it must be premeditated to burn several granaries in a row.

Then there was an explosion.

As Dolgon's confidants, Tan Tai and Chen Mingxia had an excellent relationship, and they also needed Han ministers to provide technical guidance in their high-level Manchu power struggles.

"It seems that Qin Zuoming hasn't arrived yet, so he sent someone to the capital to make trouble first." Dolgon's face was gloomy and he said:

"Immediately transfer Shang Kexi into the city, and let him personally escort the grain stored in Fengtai to the capital."

"Yes."

As a big celebrity in front of Dolgon, Tan Tai immediately responded and went down to do it.

In the face of the fire and the sudden explosion, those who wanted to put out the fire also dispersed.

As for the Eight Banners soldiers who drank and misbehaved, some were shocked to death, some were burned to death by the fire, and the rest all ran away.

They were afraid of a second wave of explosions.

This kind of fire, with their people alone, could not be extinguished at all, and as for the people, they would have kicked out of the city gate long ago, because the city gate was about to be locked.

The fire grew bigger and bigger in the darkness.

Dolgon's face was extremely ugly, and even Chen Mingxia's face was not good.

Overall, the Qing Dynasty had not yet pacified the world, and there were rebellions everywhere, but he believed that all this was still far from the capital.

At most, there were a few bandits in the mountainous areas of Tianjin who rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, but they are not worth mentioning.

Unexpectedly, Qin Zuoming really brought a big wave to the capital!

If Qin Zuoming led an army of 300,000 from Shanxi to Shuntianfu, and then besieged Beijing City, would he become the second Li Chuang?

This made Chen Mingxia, who likes political speculation, fall into deep thought.

In short, whether it is the Ming Dynasty, the Great Shun, or the Qing Dynasty, scholars like him are needed to govern the country, and they will be treated better.

But Chen Mingxia heard that Qin Zuoming was fighting local tyrants in Sichuan and Shu to divide the land, in case he wanted to chase after Li Chuang, it was okay, and the silver could be earned back at any time.

But the tens of thousands of acres of good land at home must not be divided by a stick of mud legs!

Chen Mingxia shook his head secretly, even if there was one day, he would have to talk to Qin Zuoming on behalf of the entire southern officials, because as a celebrity, he had that capital.

Liu Zeqing's mansion sat Zu Zerun.

He was a native of Cao County, and in the last years of Chongzhen, he was promoted to the general army of Shandong.

When the Dashun army approached Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen ordered him to lead his troops to quickly enter the Weijing Division, but he lied that he was injured by falling from his horse and refused to obey the edict.

Soon the Dashun army entered Shandong, and he led the main force to flee south to Huai'an.

Once one of the four towns in Jiangbei, after the Qing army went south, it chose to surrender and was brought back to the capital to relieve the military power.

Dorgon gave him two maids, but in fact he was watching him and staying in the city of Beijing honestly.

Early this morning, he heard rumors on the street that Prince Azig had died in Shanxi.

First Hauge died, plus Azig also died, Duoduo was outside to quell the rebellion, and now the capital is empty.

Now that the situation was chaotic, he judged that the Qing court would not employ people and that Guozuo would not be able to grow long, so he secretly sent his nephew Liu Zhiyu and others to the south to contact Nanming and prepare for an uprising.

Unexpectedly, an uninvited guest came.

According to the battle report, he should have died in Sichuan and Shu a long time ago.

Now there were bursts of explosions and fires in the city, but I believed Zu Zerun's words.

He really lowered Qin Zuoming, and now he secretly sneaked back to the capital, just to find an internal response.

Liu Zeqing wanted to oppose the Qing Dynasty, not only because he was not reused by the Qing court and did not have the treatment of King Sanshun.

It was these people who were not only discriminated against by the Manchurian aristocracy after the Qing Dynasty, but also perceived the limited strength of the Qing court and thought that they could give it a try.

"I can help you find a response."

Zu Zerun was overjoyed, he never expected things to go so smoothly.

"You have to know that the Ming officials who surrendered in the Hongguang Dynasty did not really surrender to the Qing Dynasty."

Liu Zeqing pointed to himself and said with a smile: "I have contact with them, you can tell Qin Zuoming when you go back, if you want an accurate defense map of Beijing City, it will take three days." ”

"Three days is too much." Zu Zerun flatly refused: "I only have one day, and tomorrow no matter whether I succeed or fail, I have to go back to my life." ”

Hearing this, Liu Zeqing thought for a while: "I'll take you to find Daoist Wang." ”

"Very good."

Although after dark, all the nine gates of the capital were closed, but with the order of the regent, the gates of the city were opened and rushed to Fengtai County.

Thirty miles of road, although it was a night journey, the messenger of the messenger rode not slow at all.

When the army moves, you have to prepare in advance.

Even if you set off in the morning, escort the grain and grass, and walk thirty miles a day, it will be evening when you arrive in the capital.

Qin Zuoming, who pretended to be Shang Kexi's army, once again received a warrant from Dolgon.

"Tomorrow to escort Fengtai's grain and grass into the city, and summon Lao Tzu?" Qin Zuoming looked at Dolgon's warrant: "Tomorrow, the army will leave from Andingmen." ”

"Haha, Lao Jiu, I heard that Andingmen is a dung truck, and there is a famous dung field in Beijing near the Temple of Earth."

Ray snorted his cigarette pipe and laughed, "Dolgon, this is scolding us." ”

Qin Zuoming also smiled: "If I want to lead the army into Beijing, I must go through Zhengyangmen." ”

"Then we'll just catch Dorgon off guard." Lei Datou exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "It would be great if you could trick him out of the city tomorrow night." ”

"I don't have braids behind me, so I can't pretend to be good."

Qin Zuo had received the news of the success of the granary bombing early tomorrow, and now Dolgon urgently allocated grain and grass into the city just in case.

As for Shang Kexi's army, whether there is food or not, he will not care.

A slave is a slave, and if the master wants you to die, you have to die!

"Laxatives in the grain, send someone to bring them in." Lei Datou's eyes lit up: "Let them pull for three days and three nights." ”

"That's a good idea, too."

Qin Zuoming nodded again and again: "Don't send much, everyone will have a bowl of grain, how many tartars can be poured down, and reduce our offensive pressure." ”
