Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 448 Wu Sangui has entered Beijing!

Baihu, who guards the gate at Dongzhimen today, is still a "hero", that is, Yan Baoyi, who was shot in the buttocks in the battle of Xiangkou, and finally cut off half of his buttocks.

The doctor who cut Yan Baoyi's butt was really not very good at cutting his butt, he didn't cut it properly.Kacha cut too much with one knife, cut off a large piece of sitting buttock meat, and cut Yan Baoyi into a cripple.

Yan Baoyi, who had half of his butt cut off and became a lame man, naturally couldn't continue to kill thieves for the Qing Dynasty.But the Qing Dynasty also forgot his contribution...and sent him back to Beijing to recuperate.

When he returned to Beijing, the injury on his buttocks was almost healed, and his lameness was a disability that could not be healed.

At that time, it happened that the Eight Banners New Army in Beijing was going south in large numbers, and there was a shortage of manpower everywhere in Beijing.So Chang Ning took the idea of ​​Yan Baoyi and his group of wounded soldiers, and assigned them jobs within their capabilities.

Although Yan Baoyi was limping, he could still walk, and his black face looked reliable, so he sent a gatekeeper to guard Dongzhimen with dozens of green battalion soldiers.

Now he saw a large group of robust refugees, and heard them speak the authentic Beijing dialect, so he guessed that they were noble tenants.And he was also a noble tenant, so he naturally felt close, so he went up to him leaning on a walking stick.

The man approaching was a jade tree facing the wind, wearing a white gown and a melon skin cap on his head, he could be seen as a butler or a servant like a master at a glance.

When a servant sees a servant, of course he feels very cordial.

So Yan Baoyi asked, "Which family does this white shirt belong to? What are you going to do in the city?"

The white-clothed man stopped immediately, and said with an apologetic smile: "If you go back to the official, the younger one is the steward of the Tongzhou Zhuangzi, the king of Xinjun... The prince's Zhuangzi was robbed by a group of god-damned Mongols two days ago, and killed him." Our people! They even snatched a few girls! They even burned Zhuangzi after the incident!

I am going to the city to sue Fujin..."

When it comes to the Mongols killing, setting fire, and robbing people, this man has already gritted his teeth, and it seems that he hates it very much.

Yan Baoyi knew that Dong E, king of Xinjun, had a Zhuangzi in Tongzhou, and he also knew that many Zhuangzi in Tongzhou were plundered by the Mongols.

So he stopped doubting, and said kindly to this man: "Brother, let me tell you that Lord Burni of Chahar entered the city today... Prince Gong personally went to Chaoyangmen to greet him!"

He was telling that person that Chahar's royal family is on the verge of prosperity, so he has to be patient...

The man sighed and didn't say anything else, he just shouted to the men who were with him outside the door: "Hurry up and enter the city... Fujin is kind and will always give us a way out!"

Yan Baoyi followed suit: "Yes, go to the city quickly... there is always a way out."

As he said that, he was still on crutches, and limped as a leader!

The janitors under him are all the Green Battalion soldiers from the Third Battalion patrolling in Beijing—they are the most embarrassing and best-disciplined Green Battalion soldiers in the Qing Dynasty!During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, they could definitely do nothing wrong... because at this time in Beijing, there were either banner people, banner slaves, or Han officials.In short, none of these green camp soldiers dared to provoke them.

When they saw how polite Yan Baoyi and the man in white were, they knew that the refugees who had taken refuge in the city had backgrounds—here in Beijing, there are too many people with backgrounds, and they can't afford to mess with these stinky soldiers. !

So not only were they not searched, but they also invited these refugees into the city with smiling faces, nodding and bowing.

This group of refugees was not polite, and under the leadership of the leading man in white and Baoyi Yan, they passed the long bridge on the moat outside Dongzhimen and the open city gate in groups, and entered the urn city of Dongzhimen. .

When the leading man was about to reach the gate of the inner city gate of Dongzhimen Urn, he suddenly stopped, raised his head and looked around, his eyes flashed, and he had already lifted up his robe and tied it under the robe. He pulled out a flintlock pistol from the holster on his waist, pointed it at Yan Baoyi's chest, and pulled the trigger.

When Yan Baoyi saw the other party pointing his musket at him, he was stunned for a moment. Before he had time to react, his chest was thumped, and he was hit hard. Then he felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his whole body didn't move. Gathering a little strength, he collapsed limply.

what happened?

As soon as this idea came to Yan Baoyi's mind, the man shouted, "President Wu of the Great Zhou has arrived with a million heavenly soldiers! Long live the President! Long live the Great Zhou!"

Yan Baoyi thought: "So it was Wu Sangui who broke into Beijing..."

After that, Yan Baoyi was gone, but others still were.

The more than 1000 men who had followed the man in white into the Dongzhimen Urn City shouted at the same time: "Millions of soldiers from the Great Zhou have arrived, long live President Wu!"

Then, they all pulled out all kinds of weapons, muskets and grenade hammers from the burdens they were carrying, and rushed forward, stabbing and knocking down the green soldiers of the Qing army inside and outside the Dongzhimen Urn City in an instant.A few men with thick arms rushed into the inner gate opening of Dongzhimen Urn City, and threw a few grenade hammers with ignited fuses towards Dongzhimen Inner Street!

After the battle in the Dongzhimen Urn was ended cleanly, the men who rushed into the Dongzhimen Urn were divided into several teams, and rushed to the inner and outer gates of the Dongzhimen Urn and the horse path leading to the Dongzhimen Urn wall.

A few other men carefully opened a bag and took out a large black flag from it. They also found a Qing army's zhangsan spear and hung the black flag up. One of the tall men even waved it vigorously. Raise the flag.The black flag unfurled in the wind, revealing a big white character "Zhou"!

The man holding the black flag flew up behind the man who had just shot Yan Baoyi, and the man in white shouted loudly, "Here is Yang Qilong, the military advisor of the Great Zhou! Xuan Ye's entire army has been wiped out, and the Heavenly Soldiers of the Great Zhou are approaching the city. Those who donate the city will not die!"

The thousands of men who followed Yang Qilong into the city also shouted loudly: "Xuan Ye has been wiped out, President Wu has arrived, those who donate the city will not die!"

Amidst all the shouts, Yang Qilong had strode towards the stairs leading to the top of Dongzhimen.

At this time, there were only a very small number of defenders on the top of the Dongzhimen Wengcheng. Originally, there should have been at least a hundred defenders on the top of the Dongzhimen Wengcheng, but because today is the day when Burni brought hundreds of cavalry into the city.In order to guard against Prince Chahar's sudden attack, the Green Battalion soldiers who had been guarding Dongzhimen were all deployed by Chang Ning to the Wengcheng of Chaoyangmen and the streets inside Chaoyangmen.

Therefore, the Qing army's defenses in Dongzhimen Wengcheng were very empty, and they could not stop the "high imitation Zhou soldiers" who rushed up like wolves and tigers, and were quickly cut down or driven away.

After a while, the black flag with the word "Zhou" was already fluttering in the wind on the tower of Dongzhimen Wengcheng!

And when Yang Qilong led people to surprise the Dongzhimen Wengcheng, there were still many passers-by at Dongzhimen... These were either bannermen, banner slaves, or banner tenants who had taken refuge in the city.When they saw Yang Qilong's people making trouble, and heard them yelling "President Wu's soldiers have arrived", they immediately knew something was wrong, so they ran into the city, shouting: "It's not good, Wu Sangui is calling! No, Wu Sangui has entered Beijing!"

This is really scaring people!Also blindfolded!

Because most of the people in Beijing were well-informed, they all knew that Xin Daming was in the "Cat Winter", they didn't even fight in Guazhou and Yangzhou, and the sea outside Tianjin was freezing, so it was absolutely impossible to go north to the vicinity of Beijing.

If Yang Qilong and the others shouted "The Third Prince Zhu is here", no one would believe it.

But Yang Qilong played Wu Sangui's sign... This is a bit true, Wu Sangui's army has already entered Henan, maybe the vanguard has really arrived near Beijing!

The Qing Dynasty is coming to an end!

Chapter 449 Shang Zhixin, Geng Jingzhong, you are still alive!

When Dongzhimen suddenly changed, Prince Gong Chongning at Chaoyangmen had just finished dealing with Prince Chahar Burni, and was watching Burni and his hundreds of Mongolian cavalry go to Chahar Prince's Mansion.

One of the purposes of Burni's entry into the city was to meet the Empress Dowager Bumbutai, and the other was to visit his own father, Abu Nai.

Among them, the day to meet the Queen Mother is scheduled for tomorrow, and Burni and his father Abu Nai will go to the Cining Palace in the Forbidden City to kowtow to Bumbutai.

But today, Burni, who came all the way to Beijing, is of course going to the Chahar Palace to meet his own father... He is a true father, kind and filial son!

So Burni and Chong Ning exchanged a few words, and saw that his father was eager to go to Chahar Palace with his hands.

Seeing Burni and the others leave, Chong Ning also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly called Tianjin General Soldier Wang Yuxi to his side, wanting to tell him to keep a tighter watch on the gates to the east and north of Beijing, and at the same time send someone to keep an eye on them. Hal Palace.

There were nearly [-] Mongolian warriors protecting Abding in the Chahar Palace, and now Burni has brought another [-], which is [-] Mongolian warriors!

If there is a sudden attack in the city, and then cooperate with the Mongols outside the city, the trouble will be big.

Wang Yuxi didn't take the Chahar Mongols seriously. He listened to Chang Ning's instructions and patted his chest as a guarantee.

"My lord, don't worry, those Mongols can't enter the city of Beijing... The walls of Beijing are so high and thick. Once the 76 gates inside, nine and outside are closed, they have to put on their wings to fly in!"

He was talking, when suddenly he heard a rumbling explosion coming from Dongzhimen!

Chang Ning reacted quickly at a young age, and immediately became nervous, "What's going on? Where is the shooting? Is it training?"

Although Wang Yuxi was born as a Wu Jinshi, he has worked on the fortress of Tianjin Wei for many years and is very familiar with artillery. He knew something was wrong when he heard it.

Wang Yuxi said: "It's Dongzhimen... Something happened to Dongzhimen!"

At this moment, the voice of shouting also came.

"It's not good, Wu Sangui is calling! It's not good, Wu Sangui has entered Beijing..."

Wu Sangui is here?

how can that be!

When Chang Ning heard the shout, he froze there.It was Wang Yuxi who reacted quickly, and hurriedly said to Chang Ning: "My lord...someone is using Wu Sangui's name to make trouble!"

"Yes!" Chang Ning also came to his senses, and immediately said loudly, "How could Wu Sangui come to Beijing? His son Wu Yingqi is surrounded in Zhuxian Town, and the whole army is about to be annihilated!"

He said this to the surrounding Tianjin Green Camp soldiers.

Wang Yuxi said to Chang Ning: "My lord, hurry up and take people to the Forbidden City to protect the Empress Dowager, and I will take people to Chaoyangmen to calm the chaos."

Chang Ning nodded, "Okay! Zongbing Wang, I will take care of Chaoyang Gate... After the chaos is over, I will personally submit a booklet and ask for credit for you!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Wang Yuxi hastily saluted.

Chang Ning didn't have the time to continue arguing with him, so he hurriedly greeted his palace guards and yellow jackets, a group of people got on their horses, and then went straight to the Forbidden City.

Wang Yuxi didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly called several co-leaders and generals under his command, and assigned tasks to them.

However, he did not immediately dispatch troops to quell the chaos. Instead, he acted cautiously. First, he sent people to control more than a dozen city gates in Beijing's inner city and outer city except Dongzhimen. , and then personally led a group of people to occupy the six large warehouses storing rice between Dongzhimen and Chaoyangmen... According to his thinking, he had to stabilize his position first, then find out the truth, and finally be safe To calm down the mess.

But his seeking for stability also gave Yang Qilong a chance to stabilize his position.Unlike Yang Qilong's deployment of troublesome forces in Beijing in history, this time his forces are all outside the city, and he is divided into three teams to come to Dongzhimen.

Yang Qilong personally took a group of survivors of the former Ming Dynasty who were lurking in Panggezhuang before. When he was not in Beijing, he was led by a strong man named Zhu Shangxian, a collateral descendant of Cheng Guogong's mansion of the former Ming Dynasty, with four core members. 500 people.

Later, Yang Qilong borrowed seven or eight hundred strong men from Zhang Da and Jiao San, the leaders of the Cao Gang.

Zhang Da, Jiao San, and Yang Qilong's two cronies, Huang Ji and Chen Yi, led the second and third teams respectively, with a total of three to 4000 people. Behind the team led by Yang Qilong, the three teams , are separated by three or five miles - this way they look more like refugees.

Moreover, most of the young men from the Cao Gang in the latter two teams didn't know that they were going to rebel... Zhang Da and Jiao San only told them to go to fight outside Dongzhimen.So when they learned that the one who was going to beat up this time was actually the Heavenly Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, how shocked and shocked they were!

If Zhang Da and Jiao San hadn't been well-known in the gang, and they had paid a large sum of money in advance, and promised to reward them afterwards, these Cao gang children would have to disband on the spot!

But they didn't dare to go to Dongzhimen anymore, they just blocked the official road outside Dongzhimen, even though Zhang Da and Jiao San shouted their throats, they refused to move forward.

If Wang Yuxi can lead the army to counterattack Dongzhimen at this time, Yang Qilong might have to attack!

But with his "seriousness", the accident suddenly happened again!

In the northeast direction of Beijing city, the sound of sobbing horns was suddenly heard. The children of the Cao Gang, who were still dawdling on the official road, followed the sound and saw that in the heavy snow, groups of people and horses had already come from Beisha River. The direction came and appeared in their line of sight.These men and horses are all dressed up as Mongolians, all of them are cavalry, they are moving extremely fast, and rush towards Dongzhimen which is already under the control of Yang Qilong!

Seeing the Mongolian army arriving, Zhang Da and Jiao San hurriedly asked people to raise Wu Zhou's black flag, and then shouted loudly: "The president's reinforcements have arrived, and the glory and wealth are just today. Do you want to be coolies for the rest of your life?

Those who are willing to make contributions, let's shout Long Live the President together! "

Seeing these Mongolian cavalry, the disciples of the Cao Gang became more courageous and shouted in unison: "Long live the President!"

Seeing that the people below were finally encouraged, Zhang Da and Jiao San did not hesitate, they immediately raised the black flag, led the team, and trotted all the way to Dongzhimen!

Not long after, nearly [-] Caobang troops led by Zhang Da and Jiao San and Mongolian cavalry led by Luo Buzang rushed to Dongzhimen one after another!

Inside Dongzhimen, there was a sudden commotion, and there was a lot of exclamation and shouting. The old and weak women and children living in Zhengbai Banner and Xianghuang Banner living inside Dongzhimen, as well as the people who had taken refuge in the city, didn't know what happened for a while?I really thought it was Wu Sangui's army that had reached Beijing!Many people fled towards the Forbidden City and other directions of Beijing's inner city in the heavy snow like headless flies, shouting while fleeing: "No, Wu Sangui is here! Wu Sangui has entered Beijing..."

Now the whole city of Beijing is in chaos!

When chaos broke out in Beijing, in the northwestern corner of Beijing, on the Shicha Sea, in a deserted palace, two fallen princes with their heads pinned to their waistbands were gathering to drink wine.

These two princes are Pingnan Wang Shangzhixin who committed the crime of "revealing rebellion" and Jingnan Wang Geng Jingzhong who "went mad under orders".

The two of them are still alive for the time being!

But they also know that Emperor Kangxi is not confused, and now they are just trying to stabilize people's hearts, so they won't be attacked for the time being.

As long as the situation is settled, both of them will have to go to Caishikou for a walk!

It makes me sad just thinking about it!

The prince who used to be good has now become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!

And now they are all detained in Beijing... Let alone outside the city, they can't even go to the outer city!

Besides waiting to die, they can only get together to drink and scold Wu Sangui—why didn’t this Wu Sangui call to Beijing to save his life?

But scolding is scolding, I still think about it after scolding!

Thinking of Wu Sangui, thinking of their sworn elder brother Wu Yingxiong... the only ones who can save them now are Wu Sangui and Wu Yingxiong!

Today, the two of them were drinking and thinking, when suddenly there was a commotion outside.They didn't care at first... Except for Wu Sangui and Wu Yingxiong calling in, other things have nothing to do with them.

So the two of them continued to drink, and while they were drinking, the door of the room was knocked open with a bang, and a gust of cold wind rushed in. Both of them became fierce, and looked up at the door.Then I saw Geng Jingzhong's younger brother Geng Juzhong standing there with a surprised face, panting heavily while talking: "Come, come..."

Chapter 450 Yuan, Ming, Qing and Zhou Dynasties, Four Kingdoms War!

Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong are still princes in name, but they are actually prisoners of wealth.And the person in charge of guarding them is not an outsider, Shang Zhixin is watched by his brother Shang Zhilong, and Geng Jingzhong is guarded by his brother Geng Juzhong.

So when Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong saw Geng Juzhong coming out of breath, their hearts sank—what came?It must be the prison car that took them to Caishikou to beheaded!

Although the two of them are wealthy prisoners, they still know what happened outside?Know that Emperor Kangxi is fighting Wu Sangui in Henan!

And the outcome of this battle or a tie will determine the life and death of the two of them!

If Kangxi wins this battle, then the pattern of the "Later Three Kingdoms" will be settled.That means it's time to settle accounts after autumn, and the two of them should be beheaded!

If Kangxi loses this battle, then Kangxi will become Emperor Shun of the Qing Dynasty... That means that the two of them are useless, and Kangxi does not need them to stabilize the hearts of the traitors who lead troops everywhere, so naturally they should be killed head!

If it's a tie... that means that the Zhou and Qing families want peace talks, and Wu Sangui and Wu Yingxiong probably won't try to lure them.When the peace talks are over, they should be beheaded!

So Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong looked at each other now, knowing that it was time to behead!

Geng Jingzhong immediately smiled wryly and said: "Second brother, the emperor is going to kill my monk's second brother's head? Will you allow the two of us to eat this table of wine and food?"

Eat and then kill, be a hungry ghost...

Geng Juzhong just shook his head, his expression was nervous and tangled, as if he had encountered something difficult to decide, he gritted his teeth after a long while and said: "Brother, Wu Sangui seems to have come in!"

"Who called in?" Geng Jingzhong couldn't believe his ears.

"Wu Sangui! No, it's President Wu who seems to have invaded the city of Beijing... It's already a mess outside, everyone is clamoring about President Wu's entry into the city!"
