I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 380 Fortunately, the slave is clever
Chapter 380

Outside Chaoyang Gate in Beijing, there was a sea of ​​people. Thousands of Jin gentlemen and a larger number of ordinary people gathered there, waiting eagerly.

They have been waiting here since last night, cleaning the road into the city spotlessly. Under the strong encouragement of the officials, the common people put on the latest clothes and had their hair combed carefully, not to mention the scholars. Having said that, even the most down-to-earth ones bought the most gorgeous clothes they could buy without any expense. Afterwards, they even used some incense to make them smell fragrant. They all looked elegant and suave.

They have all shouldered a large debt for this. However, in the face of unprecedented changes in hundreds of years, unlimited opportunities are in front of them. Who cares about these?

Their preparations were very complete, but unfortunately something unexpected happened. The Manchu and Qing vanguard troops that came in force had just arrived outside the Chaoyang Gate of Beijing. Before they could appreciate their hard work, they were hit by rockets. The bombing of artillery shells was led by Mang Gurtai's son, Prince Cheng, Mai Heli.

Mai Heli and his father Mang Gurtai had seen Ning Haijun's artillery during the battle of Bali Bay. Of course, even in Bali Bay, Ning Haijun's artillery was not as violent as the shelling in front of them. In the film, the Manchu and Qing cavalry fell under the bombardment of artillery. His first reaction was that this was a scam.

He and Huang Taiji fell into the trap of those gangsters.

The Manchus deserved to be an elite division. When they were attacked by rocket launchers, their first reaction was similar to that of Maiheli. They subconsciously turned around and ran away. The rocket shells started suddenly and ended quickly. In just half a stick of incense, 560 rocket shells were fired, and the Red Lady, Wang Chengen and others did not care about the result of the bombardment. Anyway, no matter what the result was, Wen Tiren and the others would have to spend their time explaining to Huang Taiji.

More importantly, after this round of bombing, whether Huang Taiji still dares to enter Beijing is another matter.

In just half a stick of incense, when the roar in the ears of Wen Tiren and others disappeared, the Manchu and Qing cavalry in front of them, which numbered more than [-] people, had disappeared. They retreated very quickly, even taking away most of the corpses.

If it weren't for the scattered corpse fragments left at the scene, as well as the corpses of fallen war horses, and the shocking blood stains, it would be as if this shelling had never happened.

"How is this going?"

When Wen Tiren came to his senses and asked Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Luo Yangxing was also at a loss. At this moment, the people who were preparing to welcome Jian Nu into the capital at the city gate reacted. In front of them, thousands of Manchu and Qing soldiers were killed and wounded. They won't let it go, those beasts kill without blinking an eye.

The people were frightened. Some of them ran to the city, while others ran out of the city without even having time to clean up the gold and silver. The whole scene was a mess.

This unexpected change occurred, and the situation instantly got out of control.

In the mouths of those civil servants, they said that Huang Taiji was a holy king who came to this world, comparable to Yao, Shun and Cheng Tang. He came not to invade the Ming Dynasty, but to help the people overthrow the extremely decadent Zhu family dynasty. This kind of holy emperor came to the capital. , the welcoming ceremony will naturally be spectacular, but how can it still be glamorous now?

The situation got out of control, and countless people rushed to escape from the capital. The people in the capital were more knowledgeable than ordinary people, and they all knew that this matter would definitely not go away.

Wen Tiren, Wang Yingxiong, Chen Xinjia, Zhang Pu, Qian Qianyi... these extraordinary people who are usually full of economics, compare themselves to Zhuge Liang, point out the country and promote writing, and the world's affairs are like reading lines on the palm of their hands, all of them changed their expressions when faced with this matter. Looking at each other, they could see the worry on each other's faces. They were deliberately planning to bring such a group of tigers and wolves into the capital.

What should he do if something like this goes wrong?No matter what we do, there is no point in investigating who did it. They are already almost in the capital!The only thing they can do is to think on the bright side and hope that this master can reuse them so that they can continue to control the lifeblood of the country and continue to seek personal gain unscrupulously.

Soon Jin Yiwei received the news and reported it to Luo Yangxing. Luo Yangxing whispered softly in Wen Tiren's ear: "Master Wen, the situation has been clearly investigated. He is Cheng Shijie's man."

"Cheng Shijie, it's Cheng Shijie again!"

Wen Tiren felt like his head was as big as a bucket. Now that they had yellow mud smeared into their crotches, they were either shit or shit.

At this time, a large number of people dragged their families and ran out of the city, including the defenders. Now that many Qing soldiers died under the capital, they would definitely retaliate. Even the soldiers from the Beijing camp also ran away. The people they run are people with no backing, and when the time comes, they will definitely be used as scapegoats.

The scene was so chaotic that Wen Tiren and the officials could not control it.

Wen Tiren sighed: "I want to do something, but why is it so difficult?"

Wang Yingxiong was also very speechless. Now that Ning Haijun had arrived in Tianjin, they were only more than 200 miles away from Beijing. With Ning Haijun's marching speed, they could reach the capital in two days at most.

"In case, if Ning Haijun goes north now, I'm afraid something big will happen!"

Wen Tiren looked at Wang Yingxiong and said, "How about, Mr. Wang, you go and explain to the emperor?"

"I……"

Wang Yingxiong shook his head and said: "My old arms and legs have been standing for a long time and I have no feeling at all. Why don't you go and see me, Mr. Chen?"

If it were normal times, he would really be willing to go in front of Huang Taiji and do something familiar in front of Huang Taiji. But the problem is, now Cheng Shijie's people have killed more than 1000 Qing troops with a rocket launcher. At this time, I am afraid that the Qing army Already like a boiling volcano.

By then, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to speak.

Chen Xinjia bowed and said: "I'm going to be a lower-ranking official. I'm afraid that..."

Only then did Wen Tiren realize that these people were all human beings. They swarmed around when they had an advantage. They were like wolves and tigers. When danger came, they all retreated.

"Forget it, I'll just take a trip!"

There was nothing Wen Tiren could do, he couldn't escape.

Extending his head is a knife, and retracting his head is still a knife. He hopes that Huang Taiji will not be so cowardly. If Huang Taiji is afraid, everything will be over.

In the chaotic crowd, more than [-] people including the Red Lady, Wang Chengen, Queen Zhou, Queen Zhang, and Cheng Shijie's cheap mother-in-law Li Kangfei also changed into common people's clothes and took advantage of the chaos to leave the city.

Zhu Cixiang looked at the city walls of Beijing and seemed a little reluctant: "Mother...mother, can we come back?"

"Come back? Why come back?" Queen Zhou said with a straight face: "Have you forgotten what I taught you?"

The red lady nodded and said: "We will be back!"

Wang Chengen thought to himself: "Even if you come back, I'm afraid..."

There were some things that he didn't dare to think about anymore.

As the smoke from the rocket launchers dissipated, cold rain mixed with snow fell one after another, and the entire capital was shrouded in a white curtain of rain.Queen Zhou and others went further and further away.

"Miss Hong, where are we going?"

"Go to Tianjin, where our troops are. If the Queen feels something is wrong, you can go to Liaodong!"

……

On the official road from Shilipu Capital to Tongzhou, 10,000+ elite Qing troops were marching in the rain.The army drove past mightily, military boots were lifted and dropped again and again, water splashed everywhere, and there was mud wherever they walked.

It would be more impressive if there was some wind to blow the flag high. Unfortunately, the flag is now wet and stuck to the flagpole like a diaper, with drops of water dripping down. Soldiers The tassels on their helmets were also wet and stuck to their helmets, making them look a little embarrassed. However, the tassels on their bodies were so frightening that no one dared to laugh at them because they looked a little embarrassed.

As an emperor, Huang Taiji could have walked slowly in an eight-carriage sedan without having to get wet in the rain with the soldiers, but he insisted on riding a horse and walking with the troops.Although he was wearing a raincoat, he couldn't withstand the heavy rain, and it turned him into a drowned rat in just a few strokes.

Huang Taiji didn't care about this, he just looked greedily at the scenery on both sides of the avenue and murmured: "Beijing...I'm here again! I'm here again!"

Hauge, Fan Wencheng and other Manchu civil and military ministers were all excited and couldn't help themselves.

They're back again!A full seven years have passed since the Battle of the Breach and the plunder of the capital. During these seven years, the battlefield situation in the Ming and Qing Dynasties turned several times. The Qing Dynasty was once forced to the brink of collapse, but they all survived, but the Ming Dynasty itself Collapse first!

They urged the troops to speed up at all costs. The situation was now clear. Chongzhen was trapped in Sanshen Mountain by them, more than 2000 miles away from the capital. As long as they invaded Beijing and captured the royal family, they could basically declare the demise of the Ming Dynasty. Each of them will become a founding hero!
Even the coated slaves know this. They don't need to be whipped by their masters. They can walk with the wind on their feet, and their energy is not much compared to the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners.

By conquering Beijing, the benefits that these slaves like them can get are incomparable to those of the bannermen, but it is enough to greatly improve their status. In the past, they had been slaves for the bannermen. After conquering Beijing, they also Isn't it time for them to become masters and beat and scold a few slaves at will?
The mood of the generals of Guan Ning's army was a bit complicated.They also have a sense of shame. This time they betrayed the Ming Dynasty and led foreign enemies to invade the capital. No matter how nice they say, the people of the world will despise them and curse them!

In fact, they have learned this along the way. On the march, the common people hid and watched from a distance. They looked frightened when they saw the real Qing army passing by. But when they saw the Guan Ning army who had shaved their heads and changed their flags, As they drove past, they showed expressions of extreme hatred and disgust.

No one cursed, no one spat at them, but the looks full of anger and hatred made the generals of Guan Ning's army a little breathless. Being looked down upon by thousands of people and dying without a cure, this is probably what it feels like, right?
However, they can no longer turn back and can only go to the dark side. Otherwise, they can't imagine what will be waiting for them!There is no turning back when the bow is drawn!

Huang Taiji shook off the rain on his face, and asked Wu Sangui, "Wu Aiqing, how far is it from Beijing?"

Wu Sangui looked at the surrounding scenery and said, "Let's go back to the emperor. We have just passed Shishipu, and we are still more than 30 miles away from the capital. At this speed, we can reach the capital in more than an hour at most!"

"Is there still more than 30 miles to go?"

Huang Taiji frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "Speed ​​up and keep on going! I want to see the moat of Beijing City before noon!"

Zu Dashou said: "Your Majesty, no! It's raining and snowing now, and the soldiers are tired and hungry. If we continue to march, I'm afraid many soldiers will fall ill and complain!"

Hauge sneered: "I can't bear this little rain and snow? Your southern soldiers are really delicate, no wonder they always lose to us!"

Zu Dashou was almost furious, but he didn't dare to talk back.

Haug said proudly: "Why, not convinced? Not to mention the sleet, even if it is the cold winter months that can freeze stones, our Jurchen athletes still carry a few days of dry food and a pot of spirits in the deep mountains and old forests. Chasing bears and hunting tigers, staying for half a month, nothing happened!"

Huang Taiji glared at Hauge. There is no problem in humiliating Zu Dashou. Now is not the time. Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, and Wu Sangui are the horse bones bought by Huang Taiji’s daughter. They can be seen by the world. If they humiliate Zu Dashou unscrupulously, , I'm afraid that others need to think carefully if they want to surrender to the Qing Dynasty again.

Huang Taiji raised his hand to stop Hauge from continuing, and let the orderly pass on his order.

Although the Qing army was cold and hungry, to be fair, whether it was the original Han army banners, Mongolian soldiers, or the Eight Banners, they had long been accustomed to starving and freezing. After all, their lives had been really difficult in the past few years.
As Hauge said, for them, this kind of sleet and snow weather is nothing. Even hunting in the mountains in the severe cold of minus [-] to [-] degrees is commonplace. Are they afraid of this drizzle?

Guan Ningjun felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to complain, because the Manchus never regarded them as human beings, and the humiliation was light. If they didn't go their way, they would take it out on them.

At this moment, the sound of horns sounded in front of him. Huang Taiji hurriedly took out his telescope. Due to the rain and fog, he couldn't see clearly from a distance. He only saw a large army approaching quickly.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and Huang Taiji could see clearly that this was a defeated army in a panic. Everyone had a look of fear on their faces, as if there was something terrible chasing them behind them, and many of them had blood stains on their bodies. , and there were many corpses lying across the horses.

Maiheli was not very lucky. His forehead was scratched by shrapnel from the rocket launcher. Although the injury was not serious, he looked very embarrassed when he saw blood flowing all over his face.

Seeing Huang Taiji, Mai Heli and these Qing army forward soldiers burst into tears.Maiheli jumped off his horse, threw himself in front of Huang Taiji's horse and kowtowed like garlic, howling and bursting into tears, "Your Majesty, I almost missed you!"

"what happened?"

"Ming Gou set a trap in the capital. The slave led his army and just arrived outside Chaoyang Gate. Fortunately, the slave was smart and did not underestimate the enemy. Ming Gou saw that the slave was on guard, so he ordered an ambush. Suddenly the artillery fired, and the slaves Relief for the dead and injured, if the slaves hadn’t evacuated quickly..."

Huang Taiji's face was ashen.
