Chapter 479: Kangxi, You're going to be the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty! under
The gunshots Bumu Butai heard came from the direction of Zhengyangmen!
Zhang Yunyi and the ten pistolmen he led falsely claimed that there was an urgent military report from the front to play the Empress Dowager, and fraudulently opened the city gate. Although only a crack was opened, and only Zhang Yunyi was allowed to enter alone, it also caused a big disaster.
Zhang Yunyi: Who is that? That was Daniel Zhang's son, and he was fighting in the Gansu army when he was a child. The Gansu region of the Qing Dynasty has not been peaceful since Dingding, fighting with the Mongols for a while, fighting with the Hui for a while, fighting with the Han people for a while, in short, there is no year that is not fighting. Later, the Zhang family father and son were transferred to Beijing, and their lives were more stable. But Zhang Yunyi's battles were not less, he had a part in fighting Bulny in his early years, and later he followed Fuquan and Kangxi to fight against him, and then he followed Yang Qilong to North Korea, and even once went out to Japan, leading the Beiyang cavalry to fight against Japanese samurai on Kyushu Island.
is such a ruthless person who takes cutting people as a profession, where can the spies at the sticky pole under Cao Yin and the eunuchs sent by the palace can resist? As soon as Zhang Yunyi entered, the two guns in his hand fired, one shot at the other, and the heads of the two spies at the sticky rod exploded, and the brains squirted out, and Cao Yin's body was splashed. Cao Yin was so frightened that he was incoherent, and actually shouted: "Don't shoot, I'm Cao Yin, I and Li Datou are good brothers, and my mother and Li Datou and his father are good friends!" ”
As soon as Zhang Yunyi heard this, he really let Cao Yin not kill him - what if someone was "Li Yin"? But the others were not so lucky, Zhang Yunyi pulled out his waist knife is a burst of slashing, and also drove the war horse to crash into several times in a row, and his legs and feet were not sharp enough to run too slowly.
And although Cao Yin and his spies and eunuchs were quite numerous, they were all frightened by Zhang Yunyi's fierce beating, and those who were not killed and knocked into the air all exclaimed, "Oh no, Daniel Zhang is on the contrary, the Ming army has come in", while spreading their feet and running towards the inner gate of Beijing's Zhengyangmen Urn City - inside this half-opened city gate is the inner city of Beijing!
Just as the spies and eunuchs at the useless sticky pole were fleeing in surprise, the ten pistol cavalry under Zhang Yunyi had already squeezed in through the "crack in the door". These pistols are all Daniel Zhang's family members, one person with two guns, can shoot on horseback, and can charge with a saber, all of them are extremely brave. Following Cao Yin and his men, he shot and frightened people, and at the same time rode his horse and charged, rushing towards the inner gate of Zhengyangmen Urn City.
There were also some eunuchs and spies holding arquebuses around the brazier to keep warm on the wall of Zhengyangmen Urn City, and when they heard the sound of gunfire coming from under the city wall, they were all frightened, and they rushed to the back of the battlements of the city wall with their muskets to look down. As a result, when he saw Daniel Zhang's cavalry chasing Cao Yin and his men, he immediately knew that something was wrong, and ran back to the brazier, hurriedly lit the fire rope, loaded the ammunition, and began to release the gun indiscriminately.
And as soon as they released their guns, Zhang Yunyi, who had just rushed into the inner door of Zhengyang Gate, was lured. He didn't continue to chase Cao Yin and them, but turned around and galloped up the city wall along the horse road, to kill the eunuchs and spies on the wall of Zhengyangmen.
At the same time, Yang Qilong's "Yang Datou" had already led his Beiyang Army all the way to Yongding Gate, the southern gate of Beijing's outer city!
I saw that Yang Qilong had changed into a python robe of the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, riding on a tall Western horse, and holding a "Shang Fang Sword" in his arms - this is the real "Shang Fang Sword", which he bought from the descendants of a certain Ming minister!
However, the Beiyang soldiers under Yang Qilong were still dressed as Qing soldiers, wearing blue fur jackets, wearing warm hats, carrying flintlock pistols with bayonets, lined up in eight columns, shouting the slogan of "expelling the Tartars, opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty", and drove into the city of Beijing!
The Han people in the outer city of Beijing have actually been looking forward to the Ming Dynasty for a long time - they were locked up in the city by Bumu Butai, and they didn't know where they were. Of course, I hope that the soldiers of the Great Tomorrow will come to save their lives as soon as possible.
Now I finally see the Ming army coming, and they are very familiar with the Beiyang Ming Army Yang Qilong Yang Sanye was the master of the outside of Beijing back then, his Beiyang Ming Army is the "child soldiers" of Beijing and even the entire Zhili Han people, no matter how they will not rob and slaughter the city, right?
The news of the Beiyang Army's opposition to the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty soon spread like crazy in the outer city of Beijing, and soon the streets were full of "righteous people" carrying kitchen knives, rolling pins, flat poles, and wooden sticks.
This scene is simply compared to the Paris uprising citizens attacking the bus hell in another period of history!
When the Han Chinese and the Beiyang Army in the outer city of Beijing rushed into Zhengyangmen and planted a huge red flag tattooed with the eight characters "Oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty and seek Hu in the sky" on the tower of Zhengyangmen City, the inner city of Beijing was completely chaotic.
In fact, the people in the inner city of Beijing have long known that the big thing is not good, but the city has not been broken, and the Ming army has not yet come, so everyone will live one day at a time!
So when the guns rang out at Zhengyangmen, when the shouts of the mountains and tsunamis came, everyone rushed into the streets like crazy, some people still dragged their children and the elderly, and some people carried the baggage that they had already packed - it was their most valuable things!
But where can they flee?
There is no place in Beijing that is safe, and how good can it be outside Beijing?
Maybe the 800,000 heavenly soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have surrounded the city of Beijing!
Soon, the streets were full of people bumping around like headless flies, and these panicked people had no direction at all, and they didn't know how many, they could only feel groups of people shouting, crying, desperately struggling in the last days that belonged only to them.
Everywhere there was a desolate and mournful cry: "Yang Qilong has rebelled!" The Beiyang Army has entered the city! Daqing. Dead! ”
The cries of fear in Beijing's inner city soon reached the Forbidden City beyond the palace walls.
The palace of the Qing Dynasty was completely chaotic at this time, and it became a hellish place. In this disaster of the Qing Dynasty, the banner people in the inner city of Beijing may still have a chance to fight for their lives, but the people in the palace have a slim chance of survival!
All the order in the palace has completely collapsed. When Bumu Butai and their convoy of escapees went straight from Cining Palace to Xuanwu Gate, I don't know how many eunuchs and palace maids cried and cried to follow, as if their old queen mother could still lead them out of a way out. There are corpses everywhere that can't be thought of hanging on the beams, most of them are concubines left by Shunzhi and Kangxi.
Dozens of guards, plus the sturdy eunuchs personally brought by Aunt Su Mala, regardless of whether they would die or not, all took a musket!
Bumu Butai and Bao Qing, who were still children, shared a carriage, and under the escort of these guards and eunuchs, they walked in fear - now the Forbidden City is not only in a panic, but also has fallen into madness, no one knows if those eunuchs, palace people, and servants who are running around and crying loudly will attack the Empress Dowager and the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty?
their heads. It must be worth a lot of money, right?
Bumu Butai just held Dolgon's tablet and said the words: "Dolgon, Dolgon"
At this time, the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty finally knew who was really good to her!
As for Kangxi's other children, Bumu Butai can't care about it at all, so let them fend for themselves!
Now that she can bring Baoqing to Shangjing on the Jinlian River grassland, and let Baoqing ascend the throne there as emperor, she has done her best.
Suddenly, Baoqing, the little boy sitting next to her, suddenly shouted: "Great-grandmother, that's Jingshan, that's Jingshan!" ”
Bumu Butai turned his head and looked out the carriage window, and saw the small Jingshan made of cinders, which had been covered with snow
She suddenly thought of something, shook suddenly, and shouted like crazy: "Hurry up, hurry up, leave from Desheng Gate quickly!" ”
Bumu Butai was actually ready to run away, and arranged her most trusted Mongolian guards to guard the Desheng Gate in the north of Beijing.
"It's over, it's over, Daqing. Finished! ”
Just when the inner city of Beijing and the Forbidden City were in chaos, Prince Gong of the Great Qing Dynasty, Chang Ning, already knew that it was over!
It's over! He's finished!
His army of more than 70,000 is now a heavy defeat!
This "final battle of the Qing Dynasty" can be said to be mediocre militarily, and there is nothing commendable about it. The coaches of both sides are not good at using odds, Chang Ning's military ability is better than Kangxi and Fuquan's, and he can't think of any tricks to defeat the enemy. Luo Dawei is also not good at surprise soldiers, and he is best at being solid and front-looking.
Therefore, the two sides of this battle have adopted almost the same layout, which is divided into two rows, the front and back, and the "big horizontal formation" composed of horizontal and vertical formations, and then the cavalry is on the two wings, and the artillery is placed in front of the formation.
At the beginning of the battle, it was a cannon bombardment, and it was first better than who had more artillery and more ammunition!
However, the artillery and ammunition on both sides did not have an overwhelming advantage, and the Ming army was slightly better, fighting more than a dozen rounds, forcing the Qing army to take the initiative to charge.
Kangxi's army was actually scattered, and Chang Ning didn't have time to regroup, just hastily pieced them together. Now they can withstand the artillery fire of the Ming army, carry flintlock pistols to charge, and even dare to fight with the Ming army with bayonet white-knuckle battles, which is already quite strong!
However, the Huaixi army under Luo Dawei was stronger than them, and they were all full of hatred. Holding his breath, he wants to catch Kangxi out with a thousand cuts!
If Chang Ning could let the Huaixi army on the opposite side know at this time that Kang Mazi, who ordered the digging of the Yellow River dam, had already killed him with one sword, the Ming army on the opposite side might not be so vigorous.
But he can't say that, how can he say that the Qing army under his command must not be dispersed? So the unlucky Chang Ning could only bear all the anger of the Huaixi Army for his good brother Kangxi.
However, the Qing army, which was in a desperate situation and fought against the water, still showed a strong will to fight.
Especially Tong Guogang, Tong Guowei, and Fan Chengxun's subordinates - they all have a part in the matter of digging the Yellow River dam! If this falls into the hands of the Huaixi Army on the opposite side, it must not be broken by Ling Chi and chopped into meat sauce?
Therefore, Tong Jiajun and Fan Jiajun also had to go out. They were placed in the middle of the front by Chang Ning, and under the most dense shells of the Ming army, they attacked the artillery positions of the Ming army's centralized deployment, like crazy. After being hit by two rounds of shotguns, he once started a white-knuckle fight with the infantry of the Huaixi Army who pounced on the supporting artillery!
The cavalry on both wings, commanded by Feyangu and Mahada, was equally brave! Just when the Tong Army, the Fan Army and the Huaixi Army were engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and the artillery of the Ming Army was blocked by the infantry of the two sides, and they could not exert their power, they launched a fierce charge towards the cavalry on both flanks of the Ming Army!
As long as they can crush the cavalry of the Ming army, Chang Ning and Empress Yang may be able to escape and ascend to heaven!
But their horses, after these days of fighting and marching, have long been exhausted, and there is no way to replenish them, and the impact has dropped I don't know how much.
On the other hand, on the Huaixi Army's side, because of the supplement of Zhili Haoqiang, the cavalry was always in the strongest state.
In addition, the number of cavalry of the Qing army did not have an overwhelming advantage. Luo Dawei was able to make up 4,000 cavalry, while the cavalry led by Feiyangu and Mahada was only more than 6,000, which was still pieced together, and it was difficult to form a tight formation.
The Huaixi cavalry of the Ming army sacrificed the powerful "bamboo spear impact" tactics, 4000 cavalry with battalions as a unit, holding bamboo guns, launched wave after wave of impact, and soon killed the cavalry of Feiyangu and Mahada to heavy casualties! Even the battle-hardened and brave general Feiyangu was also stabbed off his horse by the Ming cavalry with bamboo guns, and then trampled into meat sauce by countless horses' hooves!
Mahada's situation was not much better, and after he found that he could not defeat the Ming cavalry, he simply became discouraged and led the remaining cavalry to charge the Ming artillery position, trying to create an opportunity for the victory of the infantry.
As a result, when he led the cavalry to gallop in front of the Ming infantry formation, he was hit by dense rifled gun fire, and was shot three times in the body, killing him on the spot!
With the death of the two cavalry generals of the Qing army, Feiyangu and Mahada, the initiative on the battlefield soon fell into the hands of the Ming army! The victorious Ming cavalry immediately turned around and began to attack the flanks of Tong's army and Fan's army. The Tong family army and the Fan family army, which had been crushed by the infantry of the Ming army, finally could not hold on any longer, and under the flank attack of the Ming cavalry, the whole line collapsed. Even Tong Guowei, Tong Guogang, and Fan Chengxun themselves were not spared, and all died under the bayonets and random guns of the Ming army.
With the destruction of the cavalry, the Tong family army, and the Fan family army, the Qing army under Chang Ning began to fall into the passivity of the whole line, and was pressed on the bank of the canal by the Ming army, which was inferior to them, and constantly bombarded with cannons and rifled guns with a long range, and soon killed a corpse everywhere!
When the hopeless death fight was carried out in the afternoon, the Qing army on the battlefield of Linqingzhou was already a group of soldiers who were defeated like a mountain! Looking from the city wall of Linqingzhou, where Empress Yang stood, there were large groups of routed soldiers, forced to the bank of the canal like a tide.
Although Changning was in a backwater formation, he did not break the wooden bridge on the canal, so the defeated Qing army could still rush to squeeze across the wooden bridge to escape, and some panicked officers and soldiers also jumped the canal, trying to swim to the other side from the icy river, but often swam halfway and disappeared into the water.
Chang Ning himself ran into Linqingzhou City, crying and shouting to his sister-in-law Yang Xiaomi: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, it's over. I'm defeated, it's over! ”
And Yang Xiaomi just smiled miserably, and said to the veteran Kochiri beside him. "Old general, take King Gong with you. I'll leave it to me! ”
"Let's go? Sister-in-law." Chang Ning was stunned for a moment and looked at Yang Xiaomi, "Sister-in-law, I won't go, if you want to go, let's go together, if you want to die, we will die together!" ”
"Fifth Master, what stupid thing are you talking about?" Yang Xiaomi smiled bitterly, "You are just a prince of the Qing Dynasty. Why die with me? I am the regent of the Qing Dynasty, and the first emperor has already handed everything over to me, so I will give the Qing Dynasty a break for the first emperor! ”
As she spoke, she didn't wait for Chang Ning to debate with herself, so she waved her hand at the veteran Ferni: "Take King Gong and leave immediately."
"Huh!" The old general agreed, and then glanced at his own soldier Goshha, and a few rushed up to set up Chang Ning, who had lost his soul, and went under the city wall.
