Although Azig pretended to be calm and did not take Zhao Ming to heart, many people in Manchuria could not be as calm as him.After all, Xuzhou fell, the Qing army lost nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Zhao Ming led hundreds of thousands of troops to continue north, with a plan to destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty.Now the Ming army is no longer what it used to be, and today's Qing army is not the Sarhu queen, invincible, and the spirit is flourishing in the eight banners of the Qing army.Watching the Ming army approaching step by step, there was an atmosphere of fear in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.At the beginning of April, Zhao Ming led the army into Hebei after many leaders of the righteous army in Shandong and the gentry were strong and strong at the Linqing Conference.The scouts of the Qing army immediately reported to the Beijing division.Azig, who had been hunting in Nanyuan, immediately set off and returned to the capital.At this time, the imperial city, Qianqing Palace.Dressed in a dragon robe, Azig, who was abnormally obese, sat on the throne.On both sides of the main hall, the Manchu and Han ministers were separated.After the ministers saluted Azig, Fan Wencheng, a scholar, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Ming army has entered Zhili, and the soldiers are pointing directly at the capital.Please also ask the emperor to make his own decisions. ”Azig said in a deep voice: "The herald Heluo will withdraw into the capital, and all the troops outside the city will enter the city to defend.I want to cage the city to defend against the enemy!
”The crown prince Bolehe, who was standing at the head of the left, twitched at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with anger.At this point, Bolech always believed that the Qing Dynasty could only continue the national glory of the Qing Dynasty by abandoning the Guannai, fighting its way out of the encirclement, and going to the grasslands that the Ming army could not control.The Qing Dynasty couldn't win against Zhao Zamao, and it couldn't win against the Ming army, but it was still okay to bully Mongolia.Bollech made several suggestions to Azig, but was vetoed by Azig and scolded him.Now Azig has issued an order to let He Luohui withdraw his troops from Shanhaiguan, then the capital will be surrounded by the Ming army, and everyone will have to die.Boleh was angry in his heart, but he did not dare to oppose it in person, Azig has been moody recently, and often wants to kill people for no reason, although he is the son of Azig, but he does not dare to disobey Azig in front of the civil and military officials.At this time, Bolehe could only lower his head, tilt his head slightly, and look at Fan Wencheng.Fan Wencheng felt Bolehe's gaze, exhaled a turbid breath, and saluted: "Your Majesty, the slave has something to report!"
”Azig said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?
”Fan Wencheng knelt down tremblingly, kowtowed, and said, "Your Majesty, after the defense of the cage city, hundreds of thousands of Ming troops will surround the capital."
At that time, if the Qing Dynasty wanted to repel the Ming army, it could only wait for the Ming army to run out of food and retreat on its own, or the Zhou army and the king of Liangshun would lead troops to come to the aid and cooperate with the emperor. ”Azig nodded, "Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, as well as Man Dahai and Luck Dehun, will lead the army to come!"
”Fan Wencheng said: "The Ming army has opened the Grand Canal, and it is convenient for shipping, and it is difficult for the minions to think that the Ming army will run out of food."
Therefore, we can only hope that the army of Zhou and Henan will come to help. ”Azig frowned, his face sank, "What do you want to say?"
”Fan Wencheng kowtowed and said: "What the slave means is that while the Ming army has not yet besieged the city, I implore the emperor to send the prince to Zhou to ask Wu Sangui for help, and then go to Henan to supervise the division~" Fan Wencheng continued, but Azig was already on the verge of breaking out."
Your Majesty, this is to implore the Zhou State to send troops and urge Luoyang to send troops to relieve the siege of the capital.Second, if the capital can't be defended, at least the prince escapes.Back then, Chongzhen did not send the prince to Jiangning, which led to continuous infighting in the Southern Ming court, and was almost destroyed by my Qing Dynasty ~ The emperor ~ "Enough!
”Azig suddenly slapped the armrest, stood up angrily, and reprimanded loudly: "No whatever!
The enemy army is approaching the city, you let me send the prince away, how can the soldiers be single-minded.The key to this battle is to stick to the capital, and how to hold on to it if the people are not aligned.I have made up my mind, no one is allowed to leave the capital, I will be able to lead the Qing Dynasty, hold the capital, and defeat Zhao Zamao. ”After Azig finished speaking, he left the throne angrily and walked away.Seeing this, the eunuch hurriedly sang loudly: "Scatter the dynasty!"
”Bolech stood in the middle of the temple, his eyes full of anger, his chest heaving, and he exhaled several turbid breaths in succession.Fan Wencheng stood up tremblingly, walked to Bolehe's side, and sighed: "Prince, the slave has done his best!"
”Bolehe's cheeks agitated, "The emperor is too confused!"
”Fan Wencheng spoke for Azig: "Prince, the emperor also has the emperor's considerations.Now that the army is pressing, the court must unite as one.If the emperor sends the crown prince away, what will the civil and military ministers and generals in the city think.Will they still hold on to the city?
”"Alas!"
Fan Wencheng sighed again, Azig disagreed, so he could only change his mind and defend Azig, "Since the emperor has made up his mind, the servant hopes that the crown prince can assist the emperor and guard the capital."
Since the Ming army went north, the minions collected food and military materials and stored them in the city, enough for a year.Only if you can hold the capital, maybe things will turn around. ”Bolehe said coldly: "What about the giant cannon of the Ming army?
How to prevent it?
”After Bolehe finished speaking, he snorted coldly and strode away from the hall, and in a moment, only Fan Wencheng was left in the hall.At this time, Fan Wencheng stood in the hall, and couldn't help but look around, feeling sad in his heart, he never expected that the Qing Dynasty would have today."
O Emperor!
The minions are incompetent!
”Fan Wenchen's sunken eyes shed two lines of turbid tears, and he staggered out of the hall after half a sound.When he left the hall, he accidentally stepped on the empty steps and rolled straight down.The marble steps in front of the palace are long and hard, Fan Wencheng has an old bone, usually if he is not careful, he is easy to fracture, but before he can roll to the bottom, the bones are broken in many places, and he faints directly in pain.The guards with knives on duty on both sides were stunned at first when they saw a figure rolling down, but when they saw that it was Fan Wencheng, they suddenly exclaimed in shock, and they rushed over, surrounded Fan Wencheng who had fainted, and called out urgently, "Fan Zhongtang, Master Fan!"
”Seeing that there was no movement, the guards were so frightened that they hurriedly picked up Fan Wencheng and went to the Tai Hospital.Before the war, the elders of the four dynasties of the Great Qing Dynasty, from the time of Nurhachi, began to serve the Qing Dynasty, like an old dog, the loyal old slave Fan Wencheng, he fell a comminuted fracture of his whole body and lost the ability to serve the Qing Dynasty.This made the Manchu Qing up and down, and couldn't help but cast another layer of haze.Azig ordered all efforts to rescue Fan Wencheng, and then according to his strategy, he withdrew his troops from Shanhaiguan and brought all the troops of Zhili into the capital, just waiting for the enemy to come.After He Luohui withdrew from Shanhaiguan and entered the capital, the 30,000 Ming troops outside the pass immediately rushed in.In the third year of Yongli, on the sixth day of the fourth month, the Ming army sentry cavalry entered the northern suburbs of the Manchu capital and appeared in the field of vision of the defenders.
