Zhao Ming shot nearly a thousand letters into the city and was discovered by the Qing generals who patrolled the city.In fact, the treatment of the Han army in the Eastern Qing Dynasty was far better than that of Dolgon and Fu Temporary, and their loyalty was also higher than that of the former Green Battalion.After the split of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the power of the Manchus in the Eastern Qing Dynasty weakened, and Azig could only rely on the Han warlords in his territory to maintain his rule.Therefore, although Henan nominally belonged to the Eastern Qing Dynasty, but in fact Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming were already an independent kingdom, and Henan officials appointed themselves and taxes were not paid to the Eastern Qing Dynasty.In addition, the Han army controlled by Azig was also like the Eight Banners, distributing land and enjoying privileges.The loyalty of the Han army to the Eastern Qing Dynasty was actually very high.Xuzhou was rapidly defeated, mainly because Azig used Xuzhou as a pawn, and the defenders realized that defending the city was the only way to die, and they would betray the Eastern Qing.After all, life is more important than profit.Although the loyalty of the Han army to the Eastern Qing Dynasty was not as low as Zhao Ming thought, they also wanted to maintain the rule of the Eastern Qing Dynasty, so as to maintain vested interests, but "the hearts of those who are not of our race must be different", this sentence is true for the Han people, and the same is true for the Manchus.In the first battle of Xuzhou, Azig regarded the Han army as an abandoned son, and now, guarding the city of Beijing, he has concentrated the Han army in the outer city.These behaviors all show that the Manchu and Han families propagandized by the Eastern Qing Dynasty did not even believe in Azig himself.At present, the defenders of the outer city, a large part of them, actually want to contribute to the Eastern Qing.After all, the Eastern Qing Dynasty died, so the military fields under their names had to be taken over by the Ming Dynasty, and everyone became nothing, not to mention, they could be killed, even if they didn't die, they had to be assigned to farm in the bitter cold land outside the Guan.Therefore, the Han army actually wanted to contribute to the Eastern Qing Dynasty, but Azig was wary of them and did not care about them.More than 1,000 letters, most of them were shot all over the city, and only a few were shot into the outer city.The soldiers who guarded the city outside got the letter and did not hide it privately, so they immediately reported it and sent it to the prince Bolehe to contribute to the Qing Dynasty.The content of the letter was very simple, that is, to persuade the defenders of the city to surrender, as long as they surrendered, no matter whether they were Manchu or Han, they would not be killed indiscriminately.At the end of the letter, Zhao Ming also emphasized that because he couldn't bear the misery of the people in the city, he shot 3,000 letters and recruited them to become sergeants, especially the Han army in the city.Zhao Ming talked a lot about the Huayi Change, and finally told the defenders in the city that as long as they had the heart to surrender, they could send envoys, holding letters as tokens, and surrendering out of the city.On the fifth watch, the city of Beijing was still shrouded in darkness.In addition to overeating and not taking a bath, Azig has recently had another problem, that is, he can't turn off the lights when he sleeps, and there is a lot of wax all over the dormitory.At this time, not long after Azig fell asleep, a eunuch outside the hall had the courage to call: "Your Majesty~" Azig couldn't sleep, he belonged to the kind of sleeping with half his eyes open, and a slight sound could wake him up."
Who?"
Azig sat up abruptly, his red eyes low and he snorted.The eunuch shuddered when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The prince has an urgent military report. ”Azig rubbed his forehead and sat for a while before saying, "Let him in!"
”After a while, Bolech entered the dormitory with red eyes, and like Azig, he did not sleep well, suffering from insomnia all day and night."
Huang Ama!"
Bolech saluted a thousand times.Azig waved his hand, a little impatient, and said, "If there is something, I have to report it at this time." ”Bollech hurriedly escaped with a letter and presented it to Azig, "Emperor Ama, a letter from outside the city!"
”Azig frowned, he felt that he and Zhao Zamao had nothing to talk about, but he still took it and watched it.Just a quick glance, Azig knew that Zhao Ming was beating rabbits with grass, and there was no date to hit a pole, and there was not much sincerity in surrendering at all, it was purely a move to mess with his army's heart."
Huang Ama, this letter~" Bolehe whispered boldly."
This is Zhao Zamao's move to disrupt the army's heart.What a letter to surrender, to shoot three thousand into the city!
Is this for me?
”Azig shook the letter and scolded loudly, "This Zhao Zamao's scheming is getting deeper and deeper. ”"The order will go down, and all the letters that have been shot into the city will be confiscated, and those who dare to have private hiding, will be immediately killed!"
Azig angrily crumpled the letter.Seeing this, Bolech could only swallow back the words that came to his mouth."
Erchen takes orders!"
Bolech kowtowed.Azig waved Bolech back down and fell on the bed, wanting to sleep a little longer, but tossing and turning, unable to sleep.In a short time, the day dawned, and Azig got up with bloodshot eyes, and at that moment Bolech hurried to report it."
Huang Ama, the son ordered people to collect the letters, but only 600 letters, not even 30%.Moreover, most of the 600 letters came from the inner city, and less than 100 were collected from the outer city. ”Bolech was in a state of panic.Zhao Ming said that he shot 3,000 letters, but only 600 letters were collected, and even if some of them fell into the moat, more than half of the letters were hidden.Moreover, looking at the ratio of the inner city and the outer city, he felt that the Han army in the outer city had hidden at least 2,000 seals.This made Bolehe panic in his heart, what were those people doing hiding letters, they naturally wanted to surrender Zhao Zamao.For a while, Bolech only felt that everyone was half-hearted, and only felt that Beijing was full of loopholes and was no longer safe.Azig was also stunned when he heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said hatefully: "Send someone to search, find out the private collector, and directly behead him, and hang his head on the head of the city." ”The example of Xuzhou tells Azig that the key to holding Beijing is to eradicate the hidden dangers in the city, otherwise no matter how strong the city is, if there is a rebellion inside, it will be easily captured by the enemy.Bolech took the order again, and led the soldiers, all the soldiers and generals who patrolled the city last night, gathered together, searched one by one, and sure enough, more than ten letters were found.This is too far from 3,000 letters.The news reached Azig, but Azig calmed down and understood that there might not be three thousand letters at all.For a while, Azig couldn't help but scold Zhao Zamao and stopped Bolehe's move to continue the search.However, the Qing army's focus on searching the Han army in the outer city also made the distrust between the Han army and Azig more and more serious, and how much Zhao Ming shot from the bottom, Azig has no way of knowing, but he knows that there must be someone in the city who secretly hides letters and wants to take refuge in Zhao Ming.At the moment, Azig could only order people to block the gates of the capital with stones to prevent anyone from rebelling and opening the city.At the same time, he ordered that more than 10 people who had found their private collection of letters be taken to the head of the city and displayed to the public.It is worth mentioning that not all of these more than ten people are Han soldiers, but there are still a few Manchurians.However, in order to avoid shaking the hearts of the Manchu army and creating the illusion that Manchuria was monolithic, Azig ordered the Manchus to be secretly executed, and did not behead them at the head of the city as soon as the Han army arrived.At noon, on the Chaoyang Gate in the east of Beijing, more than a dozen Han soldiers were tied up and kneeling at the head of the city.Not far from Chaoyang Gate, there is the Temple of the Sun, where Zhao Ming's temporary headquarters is located.At this time, Zhao Ming looked at the head of the city with a clairvoyant mirror, and the Qing army raised the butcher's knife, beheaded more than ten people one by one, and then hung the heads on the head of the city.Zhao Ming accepted the clairvoyant mirror and said to the generals around him: "Azig has rejected Lone's kindness, and the various departments are ready to attack the city!"
