At dawn, the battle between the inner and outer cities of Beijing was over.Many generals of the Ming army, after controlling the situation in the city, immediately cleaned up the corpses to welcome Zhao Ming.Zhao Ming attacked the city and rarely slaughtered the city.In Zhao Ming's view, population is a resource, and everyone can use it to make a contribution to his colonial expansion.The Nanyang side needs to be developed, and many people die of illness in the Nanyang every year because of the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, and the humid and hot climate.It can be said that the expansion of the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang was, to a certain extent, a pile of human lives.Therefore, Zhao Ming cherishes the population very much, but this time he contributed to Beijing, Zhao Ming did not order the slaughter of the city, but the result was like a slaughter of the city.Zhao Ming entered the city from the outer Guo Yongding Gate, passed through the outer city, and entered the Zhengyang Gate of the inner city in the cheers of the soldiers and the people who greeted each other on both sides of the street.After entering the inner city, the scene inside the city was completely different from the outer city, full of headless corpses that had not had time to be cleaned up, and blood and mud that had not reached the instep.Zhao Ming frowned, and Wang Shuang said on the side: "Your Highness, I heard that the total number of soldiers in the city is less than 20,000, and the Han army of each department anyway, the combat exploits reported are more than 100,000 beheaded!"
”"These people have killed the old, weak, women and children in the city!"
Li Dingguo looked very disdainful.This number of enemies destroyed is indeed quite magical, but if you kill them all, forget it.At this time, Zhao Ming entered the inner city step by step, and chose Prince Yu's Mansion as the temporary palace to summon everyone to see him in the future.In the palace, there were still corpses everywhere, and there were a lot of blood stains on the ground and walls.Not long after Zhao Ming came to the main hall, he observed the furnishings in the hall, all the furniture was of fine mahogany and rosewood, and there were many calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls.However, Zhang Jiayu looked at it, but shook his head and said: "Many of them are fakes, worthless!"
”This made Zhao Ming feel a little disappointed, lost interest, and walked to the throne and sat down.At this time, there was a commotion outside the hall, and a group of generals walked in."
His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, the Qing army in the inner and outer cities, in addition to surrendering, most of the remaining people were killed, and a small number fled into the Forbidden City."
Dang Shousu entered the festival hall and reported loudly.As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Tianfu, Wu Ruyi, Liu Zehong and other generals entered one after another.Among these people, Zhao Ming only knows Liu Zehong and Zhang Dong, and the rest are all fresh faces."
The regent of Qiqi, the criminal general and others are fortunate to not disgrace their lives and break through the inner city.Now Azig and other remnants of the Qing army fled into the Forbidden City, but they have been surrounded by the criminal general and others, just waiting for the regent to give an order, the criminal general Zhang Tianfu was the first to rush into the city and pick up Azig's dog head!
”Zhang Tianfu knelt on the ground and kowtowed.Zhao Ming looked at him again and said with a smile: "If you can break through the city this time, General Zhang can be regarded as a great merit, and the lonely king will be rewarded."
As for the attack on the Forbidden City, you can't be reckless, wait for the Lone King to make a decision, and then follow the order!
”Zhang Tianfu hurriedly kowtowed, and then stood aside, and at this time, Zhao Ming saw Li Zehong kneeling in the crowd, and couldn't help laughing: "I heard that Liu Liangzuo ran away, why didn't you run along?"
”Zhao Ming had already learned that Liu Liangzuo and the Manchu prince Bo Lehe led less than 100 horsemen and fled to the east of the river.Originally, the Ming army could intercept and kill the two, but Zhang Jiayu stopped Jin Shenghuan from chasing and killing, and wanted Bolehe to escape to the border of the Zhou State, laying an excuse for future wars.After listening to Zhang Jiayu's story, Zhao Ming also recognized his suggestion.After sweeping away the Manchu Qing Dynasty and recovering Beijing, Wu Sangui should almost be killed.Liu Zehong didn't know that Liu Liangzuo still had a hand, but he didn't block the Xibian Gate.Liu Liangzuo didn't tell Liu Zehong about this matter, Liu Zehong saw that the Ming army entered the city, and the inner city gate was closed by the full army, and his father and son had become turtles in the urn, so he gritted his teeth, and both of them died, so it was better to let him live, so he reversed.However, if he had known that there was still a way out of the city, he would definitely not swing a knife to cut Liu Liangzuo."
As a Han Chinese, but he is willing to be a cow and a horse for the Tartars, a slave ~ no ~ sin general, there is no such father, and he has broken off relations with Liu Liangzuo."
Liu Zehong had a straight face.Zhao Ming nodded, his gaze swept to those fresh faces, and asked, "You and the others used to be old generals of the Ming Dynasty?"
”Everyone knelt down together, prostrated themselves on the ground, and pleaded: "In the past, I was confused, threw myself into the camp, and helped the abuse, but now I have repented and surrendered the city, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Regent will forgive." ”Zhao Ming waved his hand, "Forget it before, you wait for the army to be the internal response, the city is meritorious, the lone king will not be embarrassed, and he can do things with peace of mind, and the lone will have arrangements." ”Everyone kowtowed and stood aside.At this time, Zhao Ming asked in a deep voice, "What's the situation over there in the Forbidden City?"
”The generals of the Ming army did not know much about this, so Zhang Tianfu, the general, said: "Back to Your Highness, there are about thirty or forty thousand people in the city, hiding in the imperial city. ”"There is only one imperial city left in the Qing army, and its demise is already a foregone conclusion.The key is that in the Forbidden City, there are many palaces, and I am afraid that the jade of Azig will be burned!
”Zhang Jiayu said.At this time, Li Ponu hurriedly came, entered the main hall, and saluted: "Your Highness, a person fell in the city, saying that it was to discuss surrender!"
”Zhao Ming frowned slightly, and then waved his hand, "What about people?"
”"It's right outside!"
Li Ponu said: "It's the Tartar's Zhengbai Flag Gushan Ezhen He Luohui!"
”"Is that him?"
Zhao Ming was a little surprised, and waved his hand: "Let him come in!"
”After a short time, He Luo would enter the main hall, and in the eyes of everyone, he knelt down neatly, "The general of the defeated army, meet His Royal Highness the regent of the Ming Dynasty." ”Zhao Ming asked, "He Luohui, are you here to surrender?"
”He Luohui said: "The general trend has gone, and His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has won."
The soldiers and civilians in the city are willing to surrender!
”If the defenders in the imperial city are willing to surrender, it is also a good thing, the palace can be preserved, and tens of thousands of free coolies can be obtained.Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "What are the conditions?"
”He Luohui saluted and said: "The general of the defeated army, there should not be any conditions, but I still have the courage, I hope that His Royal Highness the regent of the Ming Dynasty can spare all the people in the city from death!"
”Zhao Ming said coldly: "Including Azig?"
”He Luo would kowtow and say, "Ask the regent for mercy!"
”Zhao Ming shook his head, "Lone can accept surrender, but Azig, as well as all those surnamed Aixin Jueluo, must commit suicide to thank the world." ”Since the Liao Incident, Jiannu has plagued the world for nearly fifty years, and Zhao Ming can spare some Manchus, but the old slave Nurhachi must be killed all and let them pay the due price.He Luohui's face turned pale when he heard this, "This~" "This is the bottom line!"
”Zhao Ming stood up, "Lone gives you half a day, before dark, if you don't act, then you all die!"
”After speaking, Zhao Ming waved his hand, "Send him back to the city!"
”Several armor soldiers suddenly stepped forward, and He Luo could only salute when he saw this, and then turned to leave.()
