Not all soldiers and horses have to follow Prince An Yue Le to Xi'an.

Most of the Eight Banners still want to go back to Beijing and return to their longing home.

Therefore, in the process of Yue Le's opening of Xi'an, there were constantly the children of the Eight Banners who fell behind, and finally followed Yue Le's side, and wanted to go to Xi'an with Yue Le to prepare for the establishment of the 'Bring Qing Provisional Government', there were only more than 1,300 people.

These people's armor is very messy, some of them threw away their armor in order to run faster, some did not, and the Eight Banner soldiers who did not throw armor were colorful, all kinds of colors, mixed together, but it added a rabble feeling to this defeated army.

And those Eight Banners who fled back to Beijing City conveyed such news to the dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing City.

"What, the whole army is annihilated?!"

Prince Gong Aixin Jueluo Changning, who was appointed as the governor of all military and regent kings in Beijing by Kang Mazi, who had already gone to Tianjin to 'inspect', was so dark that he almost fell off the city wall.

Although Chang Ning behaved differently than ordinary people, he was a teenager after all, and he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and he didn't know what to do at all.

And the real general manager of Beijing City, Shuncheng County Wang Leerjin was frightened, and after carefully inquiring about what happened, he immediately said angrily: "Everyone in the world calls Prince An Yue Le is the general of the clan, comparable to Ao Bai and Wu Sangui, and his military achievements are impressive!" How could he make such a move, but on the twenty-fifth day, the army was quickly defeated by the hands of the thieves, and it was defeated so cleanly! ”

Shuncheng County King Le Erjin couldn't figure it out.

Yue Le has real talent and learning, Le Erjin also heard that his grandfather boasted of Prince An Yue Le, but Le Erjin never imagined that Yue Le would be defeated, and he was defeated so quickly and so ruthlessly, and even feared sin, with thousands of eight banners, he was defeated in Shaanxi and Gansu!

For Yue Le's failure, there are two main reasons.

One is that the children of the Eight Banners are no longer brave in the past, although they are still a little useful, but they can't fight head-to-head at all.

The other is that the Ming army does not play cards according to the routine, Yue Le thought that he had seized the tired opportunity of the Ming army's continuous battle, and wanted to rely on the bad soldiers in his hands to fight a wave of miraculous operations, but he didn't expect the Ming army to have follow-up reinforcements......

But it doesn't matter.

The current Yue Le is completely different in Le Erjin's heart, Le Erjin took a deep breath, and hurriedly said: "Send someone to Tianjin immediately, inform the emperor of this matter, and let the emperor call on the whole country to green camp, King Qin!" ”

There's no way around it anymore.

In fact, this kind of information cannot be disclosed.

Once revealed, it may be able to cause a shock in the three feudatories.

But now this is the case.

If you don't reveal it, you can't hide it.

And the most important thing is that once the emperor doesn't get the news in advance, then the Qing Dynasty is in danger and Manchuria is in danger!

Le Erjin is not one of those Eight Banners soldiers who grew up in greenhouses, he knows very well what the Eight Banners did to the Han people when they entered the customs.

Now it's the turn of the Han people to enter the customs, so what will happen? Le Erjin shuddered, and he didn't dare to think about it.

As for the issue of the three feudatories......

Le Erjin took a deep breath, and then opened his mouth and said: "Invite the prince of Pingxi, I Dagong and Geng Zhaozhong!" ”

The Ming Dynasty has been resurrected again, and Wu Sangui will definitely react.

It's just that for this reaction, it's very ambiguous.

The Qing court could not predict what the thoughts of the three feudatories, headed by Wu Sangui, were.

Therefore, Le Erjin thought of finding the hostages left in Beijing by the three feudatories.

The prince of Pingxi, Wu Yingxiong.

I answer the duke, is still the letter of the son of the world, is a good buddy of the Shunzhi Emperor, and the Shunzhi Emperor named him the Duke of I.

As for Geng Zhaozhong...... This level is a little lower, he is Geng Jingzhong's younger brother, and he is not as high as the gold content of the first two hostages.

But it doesn't matter, it's nothing else to let them come now, just let them send someone back to get the feelings of the three feudatories.

Although Le Erjin felt that it was absolutely impossible for these three feudatories to reconcile with the Ming court.

After all, these three feudal kings, but the traitor leaders, in the hearts of the Han people, in terms of the degree of hatefulness, Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng and the like cannot be compared with these three feudal domains at all.

Especially Wu Sangui.

This guy not only opened the Shanhai Pass, but also strangled the last Yongli Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

For Wu Sangui, this is really a wonder.

He didn't even know how to raise Kou's self-respect, so he was now a Kou, and he was guarded by the Qing Dynasty day and night.

Le Erjin felt that if there was no such thing as the resurrection of the Ming thief, most of the people who started the war with the Qing Dynasty would be Wu Sangui.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Wu Sangui to be accepted by the Ming court.

But in this case, will Wu Sangui still be loyal to the Qing Dynasty? In Le Erjin's view, Wu Sangui will most likely directly pull the flag to rebel, directly beat the water dogs, and carve up the south with the three feudatories, and then fight a decisive battle with the Ming thieves.

Therefore, Le Erjin felt that the current plan was to stabilize the three feudatories, and not let them attack the Qing Dynasty from the south, otherwise the Great Qing Dynasty would be in danger!

Taking a deep breath, Le Erjin looked at the regent Chang Ning, who was temporarily pushed out to replace the death, with a wry smile, and couldn't help but open his mouth and say: "Lord Gong, Xiao Wang, please hurry up and go to the capital to gather our Eight Banners disciples and Baoyi, and prepare to defend the city!" The thief defeated our Eight Banners in Zunhua, two days at the latest, and half a day at the earliest. ”

Chang Ning, who already had some six gods and no masters, immediately nodded heavily, and then walked out of the hall, and hurriedly ordered the children of the Eight Banners to prepare for a new round of recruitment.

After a while, Le Erjin heard the voice of the guards outside the door.

"The prince of Pingxi, the prince of Pingnan and Geng Zhaozhong of the Jing Domain!"

Hearing such a voice, Le Erjin immediately changed his expression, put on a smiling face, and took the initiative to greet him outside the door:

"The horse, the Duke of Da and the nephew of Zhao Zhongxian, I haven't seen you for many years, I really want to kill the king!"

The hostages of the three feudal clans looked at Le Erjin, the king of Shuncheng County, and they didn't know what kind of medicine this guy was selling in his gourd, so they could only greet him with the same smile.

"King Shuncheng, I want to kill you too!"

……

Chang Ning went out of the palace gate worriedly, and just wanted to find a few Qin messengers to recruit soldiers, but heard crying and mourning everywhere in the inner city.

Soul flags are hung in every household, white paper is everywhere, and the smell of burning paper almost envelops the entire city of Beijing.

Chang Ning was stunned when he saw this situation, and couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle, as soon as he left the palace, he saw a lot of yellow belts blocking his palace.

"Lord Wang, what's going on, why did you lose?! Since entering the customs, we have never lost like this! ”

"Where's Yue Le?! Why didn't Yue Le come back, where did he die?! ”

"There are soldiers watching his Anwang Mansion, why don't you kill his whole family?!"

"Kill Yue Le's family! Our children, husbands, and sons are throwing their heads and spilling blood outside, why doesn't this Yue Le have anything to do?! Kill him, kill him! ”

“……”

All of a sudden, the crowd was excited.

And Chang Ning is also in a dilemma.

Kill Yue Le's family?

It's impossible, at most kill Yue Le.

But Yue Le is now running to Chang'an to find Jia Hanfu, and Shaanxi and Gansu are very likely to be mastered by Yue Le.

Why?

Because Yue Le and Jia Hanfu are sons and daughters! Jia Hanfu's daughter married Yue Le's son Seleng, and the two of them are in-laws!

The green battalion in Shaanxi and Gansu can be said to be the most capable green battalion, after all, the Northwest Army has been particularly strong since ancient times, and when we bring it to the Qing Dynasty, the green battalion is naturally the same.

Once Yue Le's family is killed, then Yue Le will also pull a counter-flag in Xi'an.

At that time, Xi'an had a Qing, Tianjin had a Qing, and the three feudal kings in the south...... The quintile is clear.

In addition, there is a wolf-like thief in the north, Chang Ning can't think of how to play this one.

He's just a teenager, how can the burden of bringing clear fall on him in a flicker?

Changning people are numb.

"Old and young masters, listen to this king, don't worry about Yue Le's affairs for now, this king has already reported to the emperor quickly, wait for the emperor's ruling."

Chang Ning shouted loudly: "The thief is outside the city, let's ......"

But just as Chang Ning was shouting, a fifty or sixty-year-old Baqi heard that something was wrong, and then shouted: "Wait a minute, what do you mean by reporting to the emperor quickly, the emperor is not in Beijing?!" ”

"Ah, the emperor ran away?"

"I said why those princes and ministers have disappeared these days, and they thought they were discussing how to beat the thief, but I didn't expect it to run away! Damn, don't notify you before you run, you're also Baylor, and your ancestor is the king of the county! ”

"How can this be, I have to run too, hurry home and pack my things!"

"Don't rob me, I'm General Fengguo!"

"Get out of your uncle, Lao Tzu is still Gushan Beizi, you get out of the way!"

“……”

In an instant, it was a mess again.

Changning people are numb again.

Yes.

Kang Mazi toured Tianjin and took away some officials and the empress dowager, but because it was one after the other with the expedition, the lord in Beijing didn't see that the emperor had taken the opportunity to 'patrol' Tianjin, and they all thought that the emperor lived and died with them, and shared wealth and prosperity.

After hearing that the emperor had run away, the gentlemen in Beijing immediately wanted to go home to pack up and prepare to run away.

And at this moment, a roar sounded from not far away, and it immediately disturbed the Beijing Lord in Beijing City.

In Beijing, you can see the smoke burning in the distance!

"Regent, something is wrong!"

A little eunuch hurriedly came, and said sharply in his throat: "The thief is coming, and the king of Shuncheng County asked you to come back quickly to discuss the matter!" ”

When Chang Ning heard this, he was immediately a little angry, and he also pulled his throat and shouted loudly:

"What are you running, the thief is coming! If you don't want to die, hurry up and let your children pack up and wear armor to report and defend the city! Green camps and eight banners from all over the country will come to King Qin soon! Under our feet is Beijing, and the emperor will not give up on us! ”

……

It was not a large army of the Ming army that arrived in Beijing, but a vanguard cavalry of only seven or eight hundred people, who came to explore the way.

However, just these seven or eight hundred cavalry who broke into the city of Beijing made the children of the Eight Banners in the city feel like they were facing a great enemy, and the red-clothed cannons bombarded them.

Although he missed a shot, it also improved his morale a little.

After searching the entire city of Beijing, he gathered 10,000 children of the Eight Banners and went to the battlefield.

Half of them were white-haired soldiers, and they were the first batch of Eight Banners disciples after entering the customs.

The young and strong Eight Banners soldiers are now gray-haired, but they have plenty of experience, and they still have some skills in warfare, and they may be able to play a more powerful role than the young Eight Banners.

In addition to the old man, the eleven or twelve-year-old young boy was also arranged to defend the city.

In addition, the Han people also went to the city wall regardless of whether they had any experience, so they also gathered 50,000 or 60,000 people to defend the city, and even Changning began to catch strong men in the outer city, and caught the people of Beijing to go to the city wall to defend the city.

No way, there's no one left.

However, under the command of Le Erjin, the king of Shuncheng County, the gate of Beijing City was closed, and not a single Eight Banners would be let go, and his eyes were very firm.

After all, if you hold on firmly, there is a way.

The city of Beijing, the city is fortified, it can be called impregnable, it is a first-class city in the world, as long as it is held, the thieves will have to besiege it for at least several months before they can take it.

This time is enough to wait for the army of King Qin!

Shun Chengjun Wang Le Erjin took a deep breath and believed in his heart.

But just like this, after two or three days in a row, the number of thieves has increased, but they have not launched an attack, which makes the king of Shuncheng County, Leerjin, puzzled, only that the thief wants to besiege the city, and he can't help but let Leerjin shake his head, feeling that the thief is really delusional.

On the way, the thieves asked those captives and surrendered troops to shout and persuade them to surrender under the city of Beijing, but they were all shot and suppressed by Le Erjin with thunder to calm the restless hearts in the city.

However, a seed of surrender is still taking root in Beijing, and Le Erjin can only encounter one and kill one to maintain the status quo as much as possible.

"Beijing City is rich in materials, at least two years to worry about the burden, this thief wants to besiege the city, just kill himself."

Le Erjin thought so in his heart.

However, on the fourth day, Le Erjin saw that there were many strange artillery pieces in the Ming thief army, and ...... There were also some shells that looked a lot bigger.

"What's that?"

Dressed in armor, Leerjin standing on the city wall looked at the artillery in the distance, and couldn't help but wonder: "These thieves are crazy, such a long distance, the range is completely insufficient, how can they shoot on the city of Beijing?" Besides, the walls of Beijing are strong, what can be done with just artillery? ”

"Ming Army, I don't know the ears of soldiers!"

Just when Le Erjin laughed, he suddenly heard a 'boom' sound not far away, which seemed to be the sound of artillery firing, Le Erjin was shocked for a while, and then he looked closely, but found that the huge cannonball was being fired towards the Beijing city wall!

The range of this cannonball is nearly one-third farther than the red-coated cannon they are defending the city!

"Get out of the way!"

Le Erjin was shocked and hurriedly wanted to dodge, but after the cannonball fell into the city wall, it exploded in an instant, and then the entire city wall was caught in this series of explosions!

Le Erjin was so frightened that he hurriedly wanted to go down the city wall, and he was also glad that he was not affected by the cannonballs.

Just when he was sober, he suddenly heard a sound of breaking the air, Leerjin looked up in shock, but saw a cannonball flying straight towards him, which instantly made Leerjin's face change and change!

"Not good!"

……

Tianjin City, fast horses will arrive in two days.

In fact, Kang Mazi had just arrived in Tianjin for a day and a half, summoned Tianjin's officials in turn, and after determining Tianjin's current soldiers and horses, he received a war report from Beijing.

"What?!"

The moment he opened the battle report, Kang Mazi's whole body was numb, and he was so angry that he almost exploded on the spot: "Yue Le was defeated? ”

"How can he lose? How could he be defeated? How dare he lose?! ”

Kangxi roared and threw the battle report on the ground: "He still wants to go to Xi'an?!" What is he going to do, why don't he bring his troops back to Beijing to defend, could it be that the thief is so powerful, is he afraid of him?! Is this my clan commander of the Great Qing Dynasty?! ”

After roaring, Kangxi pointed to the messenger who came to deliver the letter and asked, "How is Beijing City now?!" ”

"Your Majesty, this is the battle report from two days ago, and what is the city of Beijing now, the servants really don't know."

The messenger kowtowed and kowtowed: "The king of Shuncheng County summoned the prince of the three feudatories, talked about the affairs of the three feudatories, and at the same time gathered the children of the Eight Banners, when the minions went out of the city, they saw a lot of Ming thief cavalry, fortunately, the minions were skilled in bows and horses, and after the death of twenty or thirty brothers, they risked their lives to spread the news......"

Hearing the messenger say this, Kangxi also understood the same.

Ming thieves have surrounded Beijing!

"What the hell is this Yue Le, the battle of Chengde, Ozha and Shangshan died in battle, and the white flag and the inlaid white flag were all wiped out; And the battle of Zunhua was defeated again, and he didn't even dare to defend the city, so he fled directly! Could it be that this Yue Le is really a thief's spy? ”

The Empress Dowager Da Yu'er on the side frowned and spoke lightly, unable to distinguish between joy and sorrow.

Obviously, although the Empress Dowager's palace fighting methods are clever, she still doesn't know much about the extent of erosion of the Eight Banners.

Kangxi immediately looked at Da Yu'er and asked respectfully, "Huang Mama, what should I do now?" ”

Kang Mazi is very numb now, it can be said that Kang Mazi went home and Ma arrived home.

Now he can be said to be 'a child through the ages'.

One month.

It's only been a month since I was in power, and so many things have happened!

Shouldn't I be killed? Although Ao Bai is very hateful, he is indeed a fierce general, if he let Ao Bai lead his troops to fight the Ming thief, will it not end like this?

Kangxi regrets it now, and it can be said that he regrets it very much.

The national disaster thinks about the master.

"It's okay, Beijing City Gao Chijian, the Ming thief is not so easy to fight."

Da Yu'er shook her head, and then said: "Wait for the palace to repair a book, send it to Mongolia, so that the Mongolian cavalry attack, attack the rear of the Ming thieves, although the Mongolian cavalry has been reduced for many years, but there are still thirty or forty thousand soldiers who can fight, plus the soldiers and horses of the king of Qin from all over the country, the emperor will follow the green battalion soldiers of Shandong and Hebei to drive the expedition in person, and the problem of relieving Beijing is not big, and the problem of recovering the lost land of Zhili is not big." ”

"However, Shanhaiguan and outside the customs are estimated to be unable to be recovered."

Hearing Da Yu'er's words, Kangxi could only nod heavily.

This wave is the occupation of the hometown.

After that, Da Yu'er sighed faintly and said: "The behavior of the Ming thief is very similar to when we entered the customs, it is really a turn of feng shui, in the past, we were barefoot in Manchuria and were not afraid of wearing shoes, but now they are barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes." ”

Although Da Yu'er was a Mongol, it did not affect her from calling herself Manchuria.

And when Kangxi heard this, he could only do this, but his eyes were very firm, and he said: "Huang Mama rest assured, I am not Zhu Youzhen, he is a thief, and he is not Emperor Taizong or Regent!" ”

Da Yu'er nodded with satisfaction, and was about to say something, but saw Wang Yuxi, the chief soldier of Tianjin, hurriedly coming from outside the palace, and didn't even have time to wait for the eunuch to report, which made Kangxi's face sink.

Kangxi was about to loudly reprimand Wang Yuxi for not understanding the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, but saw Wang Yuxi hurriedly report: "Your Majesty, it's not good!" ”

"A large fleet of sailors appeared from the north at Dagukou, suspected to have come from outside the Guan, waving the Mingzi flag, firing at the port, speaking with a Fujian accent, saying that their Dengzhou Sailors want to enter Tianjin City, cut off the connection between Zhili, Shandong and Beijing, and persuade them to surrender!"

"The guns of the defenders of Dagukou are not as sharp as the enemy's ship-borne guns, and it is estimated that at this time, the Ming thief has already gone ashore!"

Kangxi: "Huh? ”

Outside the gates, where did the sailor come from?!

Is it really a replica of the route that entered the customs back then, and the sailors attacked Shandong and Tianjin? !

Kang Mazi people are numb again.

And at this moment, Da Yu'er immediately made a decision, opened her mouth and ordered: "Quickly organize a counterattack, don't let the thief go ashore!" ”

"Kill one thief, reward two taels of silver! Kill the thief and garrison, reward 100 taels of silver, and raise the flag! Kill the thief and the general, reward a thousand taels of silver, and enter the yellow flag! If you can kill the commander of the Ming thief and sailor, you will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, and the Han army will raise the flag to seal Baylor! ”
