The capital division of the Ming Dynasty is divided into two cities, the inner north and the outer south, the inner city is square, and the outer city is rectangular. The south side of the inner city and the north side of the outer city share a city wall, which was built in the 32nd year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. There are nine gates in the inner city and seven gates in the outer city, hence the name of the famous Admiral of the Nine Gates. Among them, Xuanwu, Zhengyang and Chongwen are the gates that communicate the inner and outer cities, located in the south of the inner city, and the other six gates are in the east, north and west respectively, with two gates on each side.

Fucheng Gate in the Ming Dynasty is the city gate of the coal car, located in the west of the inner city to the south, although now it is the good season for all things to grow and leafy, verdant and dripping, and the locust tree also blooms with yellow and white petals, but as far as the eye can see, whether it is inside the city or outside the city, everywhere is a tattered look. Why? Because the Daming Jingshi was in trouble and was surrounded by an anti-thief army known as one million, outside the Fucheng Gate was where their big camp was located, and where the material baggage was.

That night, the giant ship appeared in the sky, and thunder and lightning will attack the Beijing Division, and the anti-thief army that is burning and looting all over the inner city will be wiped out, and the entire Beijing Division will be in chaos. Overnight, the millions of thieves retreated, and the people, troops, courtiers, and princes in the city all began to rob things all over the streets.

The ordinary people don't talk about it, take some armor, weapons, gold and silver treasures to fill the houses and dead family members damaged by the thieves. What are you ministers and princes also grabbing? Not to mention the 20,000 Guan Ning Tie cavalry who have roped in weapons and horses all over the city after entering the pass, as if they had won this victory.

There are a lot of gold and silver treasures, military horses and equipment in the Beijing Division, but there is not much food, so the common people have their minds and look for them outside the city. The army of thieves was so hurried that they almost dispersed, and almost all the heavy objects were left in place. Most of the people who suffered heavy losses in this battle of the Jingshi were in a situation where their houses collapsed and their clothes were empty, so they naturally wanted to make up for their losses from the thieves.

I don't know what the ministers are for, they almost don't care about anything, and a dozen courtiers who still have a little conscience in their hearts are running around in various ministries to no avail, and no one comes to appease the Jingshi after the war, and there are some situations where they are left alone. When Guanning Iron Cavalry surrounded the Forbidden City, some people reacted, and Wu Sangui was afraid that he had different intentions.

Immediately followed by the wanderers rolling in from the north, all of them were Han people who were captured by Jianguo to be slaves before, and now they dragged their families into the three customs, and they also brought countless cattle and horses, and a steady stream of vehicles came in from the pass, bringing a little cool breath to the poor Daming Jingshi, because they brought not only the grain, cattle and horses of Jianjiao, but also the treasures they left in Shengjing.

The house is collapsing, the house is broken, the furniture is broken...... Everything has to be renovated, and where the supplies come from, there are them outside the city. The camp of the million-strong army of thieves was full of heavy baggage, and there were many fine timber and masonry in it, which were used to prepare siege equipment. It's just that I didn't expect that the sturdy Jingshi would be broken in two days, and these things were useless, and they couldn't be taken away at all when they fled, so they were just left for the people of Jingshi to repair their houses.

If the displaced people from the north are willing to stay in Jingshi to live, they can also exchange the grain, gold and silver in their hands for materials for building houses. As for household registration, from last autumn to winter, because of the plague, there were 200,000 people in the capital, and some of the shops were empty, like ghosts, and these were filled by living people. The returnees who keep coming south every day just fill this gap, as long as they give money, household registration is not a problem, and the officials can finally recover a little deficit in this.

A soldier defending the city looked at the people who were pushing carts, driving ox carts, and carrying burdens in and out like ants moving, most of them carrying things in their burdens and carts, and lined up in an orderly manner, dropping a few coppers in front of the baskets entering the city, and then they were allowed to go. After a while, a basket of money was full, and he had to replace it with a new bamboo basket, and he couldn't help laughing, "This Li thief has robbed the world, and wants to attack my Daming Jingshi, and he doesn't want to lose his life in the city, these things are cheap for the people of our Jingshi." Our city guards can collect this tax too comfortably, and in half a month, they can almost cover the tax of last year's half a year, and the sum of several gates is almost 10,000 taels. ”

Another soldier said disdainfully, "The city is full of garbage and waste, and the outside of the city is wood and stone, and it is not for nothing to collect materials outside the city, and it is also necessary to collect taxes according to the value, but this is almost the same thing for nothing, who is not moved, and those who have a little strength have dragged their families out to find it, and the farthest is almost ten miles away." I found more than a dozen ownerless military horses in the old forest and came back to sell them, so I didn't have money to repair the house immediately. Besides, the returnees from the north want to settle down in Beijing, even if the Ming Dynasty's Jingshi is broken and chaotic, it is always at the feet of the Son of Heaven, where can the cost of household registration be cheaper? Those are the big money, and it has gone into the pockets of the old men, and it has nothing to do with you and me. ”

This one also nodded, obviously agreeing with the words of his colleague, "I will be satisfied if the above can send our share on time, and then make up for the deficit of the previous salary." However, listening to the brothers on duty at Desheng Gate, many people went to the Tartar Palace outside the door to worship the immortals, and it is said that the immortals captured the Tartar Palace from their hometown and placed it outside the Desheng Gate as a Beijing view. ”

Speaking of this, another soldier was also interested, "Don't say it, Guo Ergou, who lives in Faxiangfang, has been there." He told me about it, and obediently, the Tartar Imperial City was pulled out of the soil layer hundreds of meters below, and it was pressed outside the Desheng Gate like a small mountain. The entire palace is complete, although the size is estimated to be one-tenth of the Forbidden City of our Ming Dynasty. That's the palace of the Tartars! It's thousands of miles away, and it's been moved here by the immortals. ”

"Do you say that Guan Ningjun didn't dare to mess around in Beijing because of this, I heard the homeless people from the north talk about it, and they were not like this in the Three Customs Offices before. Although the Forbidden City is now besieged in Beijing, I heard that the purchase in the palace is for money and goods. The same is true for the things of the common people's homes, although only a quarter of the price is given, but this thing is originally for nothing, with knives on one side and money on the other, how can there be a reason not to sell them. ”

"Don't talk about this, in two days, let's take turns off, or you and my brother and I will go to Desheng Gate to see what the palace of the Tartars looks like? Many temples and Taoist temples are about to fight out, and they have made incense there, so it is not vigorous. The Tartar Palace stood too high on the ground, and the people stood on the ground and looked at it clearly. You can see the Tartar Palace there clearly, you have to collect some money, and the time is only a quarter of an hour, will you go?"

"Go, why don't you go? The immortals have saved millions of people in the whole capital division, and I am still reluctant to give up a stick of incense?"

"Yes, our Ming men should have clear grievances, I heard that those people who returned to the north are discussing pooling money to build incense for the immortals, so the temple and the Taoist temple are fighting so fiercely. ”

"So that's the case~ But the word Arctic is clearly written on the ship, isn't it really the Arctic Zhongtian Ziwei Emperor who descended to earth......?

Several bored janitor soldiers became more and more excited, and when they quickly shifted the topic from the entrance fee to the topic of the immortals, they heard countless people shouting, "It's foggy!

It's noon, the sun is overhead, and you're shouting that it's foggy, is that a joke?

Immediately afterwards, the soldier's face changed, and he saw a thick fog slowly coming in the wilderness in the distance, about dozens of zhang high, far higher than the city wall of the Beijing Division, like a tangible city wall attacking the Beijing Division. The fog was full of milky white gas, and it was impossible to see through it until it was a mile away from the city wall, and the fog stopped moving, and from time to time people who went out came out of the thick fog and rushed to the city gate.

On this sunny April noon, the huge Daming Jing Division was slowly surrounded by a strange thick fog, and immediately a soldier rushed to report.

"Can you get out or not?!" Wu Sangui heard the news and immediately rode his horse and galloped, until he came to the dense fog outside the Jingshi City, and saw that from time to time there were people who went out to look for supplies from the dense fog, and before they came to the city gate, no one could re-enter the dense fog.

"How do you know that this is the city gate, and you can see the road ahead in such a big fog?" Wu Sangui asked several of the people who had been arrested.

"We didn't know there was fog, and we were still wondering why no one came out to fight with us for money, so we found more things to sell back. When I reached the city gate, I found that there was fog behind me. Several people kowtowed and explained in unison.

Wu Sangui pressed his palm on the cotton-like white mist in front of him, and suddenly felt that a continuous soft strength was resisting his strength, and with the increase of strength, the resistance was also increasing, but the palm of his hand could not enter the white mist for half a minute.

"Let them go~" Wu Sangui said to his own soldiers with a calm face, "Release the arrows!" I want to see if this fog can block Benhou's sharp arrows. ”

As soon as the words fell, dozens of fine iron arrows flew towards the white mist, although the speed was fast, but hitting the white fog was like entering a quagmire, and suddenly fell slowly, falling to the ground, and the distance was not even two feet.

When Wu Sangui saw this, he immediately remembered the terrifying figure of the white ape, and muttered to himself, "Is this Jingshi trapped? Who did it? Could it be that it is really an immortal method? Is it trying to capture us all? Aren't we going to be turtles in an urn? It is impossible to escape the fate of being caught?"

Wu Sangui regretted it for the first time, he secretly regretted in his heart that he listened to the encouraging words of his son-in-law Xia Guoxiang, and recklessly led troops to besiege the Forbidden City, which made there was a great suspicion among the monarchs and ministers. Daughter, in order to protect himself, my father may have to be sorry.
