Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 549 I'm Finished

A fireball hangs over the tall city of Tongzhou, casting dappled light and shadows.

The dark gray brick wall covered by light and shadow left a smear of blood, as well as the collapsed city wall and the Qing army lying on the battlements.

These are works dedicated to Zhu Youjian by the Guards.

Zhu Youjian looked at the Guards soldiers he created by himself standing on the city of Tongzhou, holding up knives and guns, his tall and straight posture formed a backbone, and roared in the morning sun that shook the mountains and rivers: "Long live, long live!"

Zhu Youjian smiled with satisfaction.

This is the Ming army he created!
Rao even the strong Tongzhou City can only be breached in a moment in front of his own army.

Zhu Youjian rode his horse into Tongzhou City.

Behind him were the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, including the internal official Xu Zhaohua and the nobleman Qi Dexuan.

However, Zhu Youjian only rested in Tongzhou City for one night, and continued northward with the Second Corps of the First Army of the Guards on the second day.

Beijing is within easy reach!
On the road from Tongzhou to Beijing, civilians fleeing in a hurry can be seen everywhere.

Zhu Youjian couldn't help thinking of the scene when he moved from the capital to Tongzhou in the past when he moved south. At that time, he was as embarrassed as these people now.

But now he's a winner.

At this time, Dorgon was still only in the Qianqing Palace drunk with his concubine Ji, he had lost any fighting spirit, and watched the rising sun and the setting sun like a walking dead.

At this time, Azig, who was second only to Dorgon in the Qing royal family in Beijing, was arranging for people to ship all the gold and silver treasures and antiques and jades from the palace and various palaces. Collect them together, and specially arrange a cart to load them all.

Among them, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and I, the two thieves, huddled in a carriage and watched their belongings and women being tied into the carriage by the Qing army.

The two just smiled wryly.

"It's really nothing in the end!"

Fan Wencheng sighed.

"I thought that the fate of the Ming Dynasty was over, and whoever showed me the Qing Dynasty would be a flash in the pan, and this lifetime of slavery would be in vain."

After Ning finished, I also said something.

"However, being able to take away so much property, almost all the wealth in the entire Beijing city, is not a loss for me, and I may be able to make a comeback with this batch of property in the future. I know how Zhu Youjian will feel when he sees that Beijing is just an empty city."

Fan Wencheng laughed triumphantly.

"I think he will be very angry, Fan Gong, I think that although you and I have been slaves all our lives, it is not in vain to be this life, and it is worthwhile to give Zhu Youjian some eye drops at the end. Ah, you don’t know, it is my idea to advocate burning down the imperial palace and the Han people in the outer city. I want him to see Beijing as a ghost city, and let him, the Ming emperor, not fall down, hahaha! "

After Ning Wan, I burst out laughing, and Fan Wencheng laughed too.

And this time.

A puff of smoke and dust has been set off in the outer city of Beijing. Liu Zhenwu, the commander of the First Cavalry A Battalion of the First Corps of the Fourth Guards Army, has rushed to the outer city of Beijing with his cavalry.

It turned out that the First Corps of the Fourth Army of the Guards had captured Xuanfu, Juyongguan and other pass cities all the way since it went north from Taiyuan to Datong, and its cavalry even took a shortcut and came to the capital first. The speed of encircling Beijing, coupled with the fact that many cavalry officers were formerly members of the Ming Frontier Army, were familiar with Xuanfu and Gyeonggi, so they were able to arrive in Beijing before the First Guards Army arrived in the capital.

But Liu Zhenwu didn't know that he was the first guard to arrive outside Beijing. It wasn't until he took the cavalry to patrol the entire outer city of Beijing that he was convinced that he was the first to arrive in Beijing.

Moreover, when Liu Zhenwu saw that there were still sporadic Qing troops in the shanty towns outside the capital, and there were even groups of carts gathered in the open space, he also guessed that the Jianlu had not completely withdrawn, and he didn't even expect that he would The Guards would suddenly appear in the capital so quickly.

"Report! Tongzhou fell."

A messenger soldier of the Qing army was coming from the direction of Tongzhou when he saw Liu Zhenwu and other guard cavalry, he was dumbfounded, shut his mouth quickly, and reined in, not knowing what to do.

And this time.

With a wave of Liu Zhenwu's hand, more than a dozen cavalrymen of the Guards had already mounted their horses and killed the general, beheading the messenger of the Qing army under their horses.

Because the gates of the capital city were still tightly closed, even if the vehicles were loaded, they would be hung from the city wall, so it was inconvenient for Liu Zhenwu to enter the city.

But the Qing army naturally also found the guard cavalry, and hurried to find Azig.

"What! The Ming army appeared in the capital?"

Ning Wan, who was laughing loudly, and Fan Wencheng and I heard the shout of Prince Azig of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Both Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan couldn't help but shut up.

"Why so fast, our people haven't had time to evacuate, and we haven't had time to kill the Han people outside!"

After Ning Wan, I couldn't help but muttered, with a look of disappointment on my face.

"Nothing to do, nothing to do!"

After speaking, Fan Wencheng stood up and shouted: "My lord, take the emperor father and the regent away immediately, hurry up!"

Azige quickly understood when Fan Wencheng called him, and immediately rode his horse to the imperial city.

At this time, the Jin Yiwei in the city had also rushed towards the imperial city, and Wei Cong was the first to bear the brunt: "Rush into the imperial city and capture Dorgon alive!"

"Rush into the imperial city and capture Dorgon alive!"

Jin Yiwei hurriedly shouted, at this time the Jin Yiwei in the entire imperial city should also kill the Qing army in the imperial city, and opened the imperial city to welcome Wei Cong's Jin Yiwei in.

As soon as Wei Cong and others entered the imperial city, they went straight to the palace city. At this time, there were very few Qing troops in the entire imperial city, and most of them had been transferred outside the imperial city or even outside the city to prepare to slaughter the Han people. He easily rushed to the gate of Miyagi Huangji.

At this time, Azig also rode over quickly, and when he saw Wei Cong and the others had their braids shaved, he understood who they were, and ordered his subordinate Ba Yala: "These are spies of the Ming army, kill them!"

These Ba Yala rushed towards Wei Cong and Jin Yiwei, and for a while, there were swords and blood under the Huangji Gate, while Azig took advantage of this to open the palace city and rushed into the Qianqing Palace.

At this moment, Dorgon was playing with his concubines in the Qing Palace, carrying half a jug of wine in disheveled clothes, and Azige couldn't help snatching the jug from Dorgon's hand. Come over and fall to the ground: "Fourteen pockets, what are you doing!"

"What am I doing, I'm drinking, elder brother, did the Ming army come in? Look at your flustered appearance. After all, you are also my prince of the Qing Dynasty. You are not calm at all."

Dorgon stumbled to his feet as he spoke: "I've expected this day, since you and I can't escape, why don't we just die here in the flames, I'm done, it's over!"
