Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 274

"Wang Fuchen?" Kangxi's voice trembled, "Did something happen to Shanhaiguan?"

"Emperor Shengming!"

Kangxi's heart tightened, and he thought: "It's right again, is I a crow's mouth? I will never guess randomly again..."

"Your Majesty," Mingzhu saw that Kangxi hadn't reached out to take the document, she simply said, "At the moment when we were fighting Zhuge Yaodao, the [-] army of rebels marched from Liaodong to the outside of Shanhaiguan regardless of the severe cold. Already!"

"Hold it?" Kangxi changed his tone.

"No." Mingzhu shook her head, "There are too many rebels, and Wang Fuchen only has more than [-] people... He couldn't beat them at all. After three days of defense, Shanhaiguan fell. But most of Wang Fuchen's soldiers and horses were saved. Fight and go, retreat to Beijing."

"Ming army, the Ming army has entered the customs?"

Mingzhu nodded: "The Emperor Shengming..."

Kangxi's eyes were dark again, he almost fainted, he quickly waved his hands, "You all go back first, I'm tired..."

"Whoo!"

"Your Majesty, rest well..."

Watching the two servants retreat, Kangxi leaned in the donkey cart, thinking in his heart: "Jieshu, Yue Le, and Tong Guogang should not be completely annihilated. The loss is certain, but most of the troops can still be kept. Now let's do it. Look at Tu Hai... If he can stick to Xiangyang after he fails to break through, maybe he can hold back Zhuge Yaodao for a few more days, so that I can gather up my troops and defend Beijing!"

……

"Tutang, you should demote Daming!"

"That's right, Tutang, the Qing Dynasty is over!"

"Tutang, I am the king of Chengshun County of the Qing Dynasty, surnamed Aixinjueluo, I can surrender, let alone you? Besides, you have jumped the Han River once two days ago, which can be regarded as the end of the Qing Dynasty. Faithful, not drowned, that is God's will!"

Just when Emperor Kangxi hoped that Tuhai could carry Zhuge's army for him for a while, Dong E, Le Erjin, and Mang Yitu went to Xiangyang together to persuade him to become "Tu Chengchou"...

Chapter 639 Kangxi Returned to Beijing City Not Very Loyal to Him

"Ah, ah, ah..."

Hearing Dong E, a traitor from Aixinjueluo's family who never opened the pot and carried which pot, talked about jumping into the Han River, Tu Hai couldn't help sneezing—it was true that he didn't drown in the Han River, but He caught a cold, and had a high fever two days ago, and almost burned to death.

And he didn't mean to jump into the Han River, he's sick again!Now no one will hold him accountable for his repeated defeats. He jumped into the Maohan River?He really fell into the water this time.Didn't Kangxi ask him to lead his troops to break through before?That decree was actually sent from Nanyang to Xiangyang.The unlucky Tuhai and Laita didn't know that Kangxi would run away if he was defeated, so they wanted them to run away a little bit, thinking that Kangxi had won!So he and Laita ordered [-] elite soldiers to fight out.

But as soon as they rushed out of Fancheng, they were stopped by two towns from the Lianghekou camp of the Ming army. The two sides fought in a line and shot them on the plain north of Fancheng... The result was of course that Tuhai and Laita were defeated !In order to cover Tuhai's retreat, the veteran Laita personally led the cavalry to attack the formation of the Ming army, and was finally killed by "iron fist" and random guns.

But Tuhai, who was defeated and returned, couldn't even defend Fancheng, because the Ming army chased Tuhai's defeated army and rushed directly into the gate of Fancheng!In desperation, Tuhai had no choice but to go to the rear in person to cover the brigade's retreat to Xiangyang through the pontoon bridge erected between Xiangfan and Xiangyang.

However, the pontoon bridge was hit by a super-caliber grenade fired by the mortar of the Ming army, and it was directly blown apart.Tuhai happened to be on the bridge at that time. Although he was not hit by shrapnel, he fell into the icy Han River because the pontoon bridge was broken.If he hadn't practiced swimming hard in the past few years - he couldn't always rely on Shi Lang to fish!Moreover, he also recruited a few water-based Ghoshha, who may have become a water ghost.

"Lord Baylor, my lord, I won't say anything dark to you..." Tu Hai frowned while covering his nose with a handkerchief, "If the emperor is really defeated in the battle of Xinye-Nanyang, The Great Qing Kingdom will most likely become the Northern Qing Dynasty. But after all, I, Tu Hai, has been greatly favored by the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, how can I gain a foothold after I vote for the Ming Dynasty?"

When Dong E, Le Erjin, and Mang Yitu heard this, they knew that the mission of entering the city to persuade them to surrender was probably successful!

The meaning of Tu Hai's words is actually how he got a foothold after he voted for Daming?

"Tutang," Dong E said with a smile, "you were the chief academician of the Qing Dynasty. You are very familiar with the Qing Dynasty, and you are also very familiar with the situation outside the customs, Mongolia, and Xueyu! You are very familiar with the Ming Dynasty. The effect is no less than Hong Chengchou's effect on the Qing Dynasty!"

Tu Hai frowned deeply - Dong E's meaning was obvious, he could "sell the Qing Dynasty"!It seems that Daqing's territory in the pass will not last long, and it is not his turn to sell it.But the Qing Dynasty still had the Northeast, Mongolia, the Snowy Region, and many territories and states in the Western Regions.

If Kangxi wanted to be Emperor Shun of the Qing Dynasty, he would basically be able to last for many years... But there should be few people in Ming Dynasty who understand the situation in Mongolia, Snow Region, Northeast Region, and Western Region.

So he can still sell Tuhai... just like Hong Chengchou sold Daming back then!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh!Back then, he looked down on Hong Chengchou very much, but he didn't expect that he would follow Hong Chengchou's path.

It's God's will to trick people... Yes, it's all God's fault!

Le Erjin said again: "Tutang, you still have more than 1 elite soldiers in your hands! The Ming Dynasty today has the ambition to subdue the barbarians, and to subdue the barbarians requires elite soldiers...so All the soldiers in our hands can be used by the Son of Heaven."

Zhu Heqi's ambitions are also known to Tuhai. When they crossed the sea to conquer North Korea, they took the initiative to provoke the closed-door Japan.

It is estimated that they will also use troops against Mongolia, Xueyu, Northeast, and Western Regions later.

Mang Yitu sighed at this time, and said to Tu Hai: "Tutang, in addition to the 1 people in your hands, you also have Xiangyang City! If the Ming army wants to fight hard, at least thousands of casualties, follow your 1 people Of course, the brothers are not alive. And how much food do you have? How long can it last? Three months? Five months? What will you do when the food runs out?

Do you really have the heart to let these 1 people die like this?Haven't enough people died over the years? "

These words really reached Tu Hai's heart!

He is deeply favored by the country, and he really can't bear to ask him to sell the Qing Dynasty for wealth.But now for my brother!He has no choice but to be loyal!You can't lead the big guy to die in vain, right?These brothers gave their lives to him because they trusted him, Tu Hai, and he couldn't take them to die casually...

Thinking of this, Tu Hai just let out a long sigh: "For the sake of the lives of the brothers, I, Tu Hai, can only have the cheek to be a second minister."

……

When the spirit of spring gradually became stronger in Zhili, Beijing City was still the territory of the Qing Dynasty!

It is said that this is all due to Wang Sangui, no, it is Wang Fuchen's credit!

Although this loyal slave of the Qing Dynasty failed to guard Shanhaiguan, he also failed to guard Linyu, Funing, Lulong, Changli, Luanzhou, Qian'an, Zunhua Prefecture, Yutian, Fengrun, Jizhou, Baodi, Ninghe, etc. Thirteen consecutive defeats in less than a month not only lost Yongping, Zunhua, and Shuntian prefectures to the Ming army, but also allowed the Ming army to seize a large amount of grain, forage and livestock. ...thus completely solving the logistics supply problem of 10,000+ troops and civilian husbands.But because of the repeated battles of this loyal slave of the Qing Dynasty, the Ming army's front was delayed after all.

The Ming army that entered the pass broke through Shanhaiguan around the Spring Festival in the first year of the Great Duke. It was only on the [-]th day of the first lunar month in the second year of the Great Duke that the vanguard advanced to the Sanhe, Xianghe, and Pinggu areas.

And on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, when the heroic loyal slave of the Qing Dynasty and the defeated "Wang Sangui" was about to face the vanguard of the Ming army in the Sanhe, Xianghe, and Pinggu areas, Kangxi Kangmazi, the "Shun Emperor" of the Qing Dynasty, finally He returned to the city of Beijing, which was no longer loyal to him.

This "not very loyal" is not just a casual statement, but well-founded!

As soon as Emperor Kangxi entered Yongding Gate, he saw many "soldiers and warriors" he didn't know very well—all these people had blue cloth heads, and they were wearing loose cotton-padded clothes and trousers. brave".I don't know if it is brave, medium or down?

These "braves" are all carrying weapons, most of them are matchlock guns, and some are carrying long guns and big knives. They line up in a line that looks a bit scattered, standing on the long street inside Yongdingmen, and they don't know the rules. He knelt down to greet him, but stretched his neck and looked curiously at the defeated Emperor Kangxi...

Kangxi just wanted to find someone to ask where these "courage" came from?His good brother Chang Ning has led Kong Shenggong, Xiong Cilu, Zhou Peigong, Zhang Ying, Fu Honglie, Shi Lang and others to kowtow to him.

Seeing Kong Shenggong, who was wearing a green cloth and long fir, with a white folding fan on his belt, and several Confucian bigwigs, Kangxi immediately remembered that those "braves" were all "Lu Yong" of Confucianism!

Before Kangxi put Lu Yong in Beijing in order to concentrate his forces to fight Zhuge Sanhe, now most of the defense of Beijing city is probably in the hands of these "Lu Yong"!

Although they all looked like a mob, but there were so many people...

Thinking of this, Kangxi hurriedly got off his horse, went up to help Kong Shenggong himself, and said to him in a soft tone: "Brother Shenggong, I really miss my brother!"

really?

Now not only Kong Shenggong was stunned, but even Kangxi's younger brother Chang Ning was stunned—he was the real younger brother!

How could Kangxi think of Kong Shenggong as a false brother instead of his own brother?

Kangxi didn't look at his brothers at all, but held Kong Shenggong's hand affectionately, and asked with a smile, "Brother Shenggong, how many Lu Yong did you bring to Beijing this time?"

"Not much, not much," Kong Shenggong said with a smile, "Brother Emperor, little brother brought a total of [-] Lu Yong to Beijing this time!"

Sixty thousand is not much... Kangxi felt a chill down his spine!He only has [-] defeated troops...

Chapter 640 It’s not good, Emperor Kangxi has gone to Jingshan

"Okay, this is great!"

Although Emperor Kangxi was terrified, he didn't show his face at all...and he was still quickly calculating the two sides, no, it was the comparison of strength in three aspects.

Kong Shenggong has [-] Lu Yong in Beijing!

Sixty thousand!

What did he want to do with so many people here?Could it be that Shenggong is too small?

The former Shenggong was the marionette in Kangxi's hands, but now... Kang Mazi only has [-] defeated soldiers, and Wang Fuchen outside the city has thousands of defeated soldiers.

In addition, there are still many old and new Eight Banners who have taken refuge in Beijing, and they may be able to gather some troops... But no matter how they gather together, Kangxi feels that it is difficult for him (including Wang Fuchen's people) to gather [-] people. Only more than half of Shenggong's Lu Yong.

However, there are more Ming troops outside the city, about [-]... and the fighting power of the Ming army is not comparable to that of the Eight Banners New Army and Lu Yong.

With the [-] Ming army here, these Lu Yongs should not dare to make mistakes.

But this Beijing city... can't be had!

However, the new and old Eight Banners family members who can be taken away in and around Beijing must be taken away as much as possible!

In addition, the craftsmen in Beijing, as well as the money of those royal profiteers in the outer city of Beijing, have to be taken away...

If these people and Yinzi can follow along, Kangxi will be able to be Emperor Shun of the Qing Dynasty well—even if he is Emperor Shun, he must be good, for a little longer, and he will be a Qing Shun Emperor who will go down in history!

You can't run away with only a small number of officials, soldiers, and concubines like Emperor Yuan Shun. When you arrive on the grassland, you have nothing, and you can't live your life at all.

But are those people in Beijing willing to follow along?

Is that Kong Shenggong willing to follow?

Will those treacherous royal officials obediently hand over their money?

Kangxi knows that he has been unlucky recently, and the more he gets along, the more he looks like Ming Chongzhen... In the end, don't think he can't run away, and he was run on Jingshan by the people below and hung on the crooked neck tree!

Thinking of the crooked neck tree, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

No, I have to quickly ask the people below to persuade me to escape!

But what to do?

How about some pretense?

"Brother Shenggong," Kangxi thought of this, so he took Kong Shenggong's hand, "It's rare for you to come to Beijing, so go and sit at home!

Prince Gong, and all the ministers and workers, you all come together! "

While talking, Kangxi couldn't help but get on his horse together with Kong Shenggong and Prince Gong Changning, and then led a group of courtiers to greet them, and headed towards the Forbidden City together.

Kangxi hasn't been back to Beijing for some time—there are eight alleys in Beijing!

But this time I have to go again, I guess I will never come back in this life.

Therefore, Kangxi is going to take this opportunity to take a good look at his own Beijing city.

He rode a horse and walked along the long street from Yongdingmen to Zhengyangmen, watching all the way.There are many idlers on both sides of the long street, all kneeling to welcome Emperor Kangxi.

Most of them are women and children, and they are decently dressed, so they should not be civilians.

Kangxi asked: "Prince Gong, are they all bannermen who ran into the city to seek refuge?"

"Your majesty is wise." Chang Ning replied, "Now there is a turmoil outside Beijing, and the rebel soldiers have arrived in the Xiangshan and Sanhe areas. Many banner people's villages have been destroyed, and many people have died. Bannermen and slaves from outside the banners tried their best to seek refuge in the city.”

"Okay, you've done a good job." Kangxi thought, "Everyone has entered the city, so it's easy to pull them away."

At this time, Kangxi and his party passed by the big fence outside Zhengyang Gate - Bada Hutong is nearby.

Thinking of the "Shame of the Eight Great Alleys", Kangxi lost his voice and just rode his horse on the road. After a while, he entered the house and hasn't found it yet, and he hasn't built a new Daqingmen.

After entering the Daqing Gate, Kangxi continued to walk inward, passed the thousand-step corridor, but did not enter the Meridian Gate, but exited the Zuoque Gate.

Chang Ning looked at the alley, so he asked: "Brother Huang, are you not going into the palace? Where are you going? The Empress Dowager is still waiting for you."

Emperor Kangxi smiled bitterly, looked back at Kong Shenggong and some other officials, and then deliberately raised his voice: "I want to go to Jingshan to have a look!"

"Brother Huang, where do you want to go?"

"Go to Jingshan!" Kangxi said loudly, "I'm about to go to Jingshan where Emperor Chongzhen died for his country."

He also deliberately mentioned the martyrdom of Chongzhen.Including Chang Ning, the people below were a little terrified when they heard this.

They were not worried that Kangxi would end up hanging on Jingshan's crooked neck tree, but thought of the "torture".

The Ming army that is now approaching the city of Beijing and their courtiers of the Qing Dynasty are deadly enemies!

However, Chang Ning was overjoyed.

If his elder brother Kangxi died for the country like Chongzhen... then who should the emperor of the Qing Dynasty do for?

Even if it is a Shun Emperor, he is still an Emperor!

Of course, this thought has to be well hidden, but brother can't see it.

Just as he was thinking about it, Kong Shenggong, the godbrother of Emperor Kangxi, said without interest: "Brother Emperor, in fact, this Chongzhen should not die for the country... His sons are still young, and none of them are old and A brother who can take responsibility will clean up the mess for him."

What does this mean?

After listening to Kong Shenggong's words, Chang Ning's heartbeat accelerated a lot.

Kangxi turned his head, gave Chang Ning a malicious look, and nodded: "Brother Sheng Gong is right...Chang Ning, what do you think?"

"Slave, slave..." Beads of sweat started to appear on Chang Ning's anxious forehead. After holding back for a long time, he finally choked out a sentence, "Brother Emperor, the Ming Dynasty is exhausted. It's the same for anyone else. The mess is fine." It can't be cleaned up."

"What about Zhu and Qi?" Kangxi asked, "Chang Ning, how do you think you are compared to Zhu and Qi?"

"This..." Chang Ning was speechless, and he said to himself, "What's wrong with my brother? Why does he always get along with me? Doesn't he suspect me? I never thought of trying to usurp the throne. An emperor's uncle and regent. This small goal was not achieved in the end."

When Kangxi saw that his brother was speechless, he no longer made it difficult for him—Kangxi was actually beating Chang Ning, forcing him to be consistent with himself.

The three brothers (including Kong Shenggong) were silent all the way, and soon boarded Jingshan, north of the Forbidden City.
