Chapter 495: Chaos
The Manchurians moved westward, and the Ming army was about to descend on the city, leaving Beijing with chaos.
"Let's go too, go back to the Mongolian steppe!" Wu Keshan quickly left the city with the cavalry of the Mongolian Horqin Division, and the cavalry of other Mongols also went out of the city and fled in the direction of the Mongolian steppe.
Watching the Mongols leave, at the entrance of the street, two seemingly ordinary people, who were actually Jinyiwei's secret agents hidden in Beijing, both showed hatred in their eyes.
"It's really nice that these damn Mongols plundered the people inside and outside Beijing before leaving. As soon as the emperor's army arrives, I will show the emperor that we will not just let the Mongols go! One of them said.
The other nodded, and they saw what the Mongols were doing, but they had nothing to do, which made their hearts feel as if they were being caught, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
The Manchus and Mongols left one after another, and only some of the original Qing generals and 90,000 Han Banner troops remained in Beijing.
The 90,000 Han Banner Army was led by three people from the noble clan, named Pang Kaishi, Li Jun, and He Hongzhao.
"Brother Pang, Brother Li, now that the Manchus have moved westward, the Mongols have retreated into the Mongolian steppe, leaving us alone to fight against the Ming army, what should I do!" He Hongzhao said with a gloomy face.
"The hateful Manchurians are all a group of cowards, I thought they could succeed, and we waited to assist them, but I didn't expect that in the face of the Ming army, they were repeatedly defeated, so that in order to avoid the Ming army's soldiers, they were so afraid that they moved westward directly, hateful!" Pang Kaishi also had a hideous face, with a look of resentment.
In order to fight against the Ming Dynasty and protect their own interests, their scholars around the country were able to assist the Manchus with all their might, and captured countless money and grain, otherwise how could the Manchus establish an army of nearly two million in just a few years, but unfortunately, the nearly two million army seemed to be strong, but under the wave of the Manchus, it was defeated in less than two months, and it was defeated so badly, there were less than 100,000 Han Banner troops left, and this point of strength wanted to fight against hundreds of thousands of Ming troops, which was simply to hit the stone with an egg.
"Now even if we are willing to surrender, Da Ming will definitely not let me go!" Li Jun gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
Daming built a traitor pit, they helped the Manchurians to fight against the Ming Dynasty and the traitor's behavior is no different from the traitor, really want to surrender the Ming, they are also afraid that their head is not guaranteed, this is still a trivial matter, the most frightening thing is that their head will be thrown into the most filthy traitor pit under the sky, and they will never be able to live forever.
How could they tolerate such an end, surrender is not to think about it, not only are they afraid of death, they are also unable to accept the policy of the Ming Dynasty, the interests of the noble clan cannot be violated, so for their own lives, but also for the interests of the family, they have to fight to the death.
"Beijing City can't stay anymore, I'll wait to go to Guanzhong in Shaanxi, where the terrain is dangerous, I will definitely be able to stop the Ming army for a while, and then I will think of another way!" Li Jun proposed.
"Brother Li is right, I will go to Shaanxi later, Li Zicheng relied on that place to rise, and we will unite the remaining world's corporal clans to be strong, and we may not be able to rely on there to fight against the Ming army!" Pang Kaishi nodded approvingly.
However, He Hongzhao hesitated, the foundations of the Li family and the Pang family are in Shanxi, which is close to Shaanxi, but his He family is in Hebei, and leaving Beijing City is to give up the foundation of Hebei, which makes him a little embarrassed.
"Brother He, don't hesitate any longer, do you think that if you stay in Beijing City, you will be able to fight against the Ming army? There is only a dead end to stay, not only can we not stay, all the warriors and heroes in Beijing must evacuate with us, and only when everyone unites together can we have the capital to continue to fight against the Ming army! Li Jun said in a deep voice.
"Okay, I'm willing to go with the two of you!" He Hongzhao finally said.
Li Jun and Pang Kaishi laughed together, with the three of them taking the lead, they will definitely be able to take away most of the warrior clans in the capital, and when they gather, they can also quickly establish a force that cannot be ignored, even if there are no Manchurians, they have the confidence to continue to compete with the Ming army.
After all, in their eyes, the perverse behavior of the Ming Dynasty and the strong resistance of the corporal clan all over the world is a symbol of cruelty and inhumanity, and it is unpopular after all. They don't want to rely on Shaanxi to really overthrow the Ming Dynasty, but they also want the Ming Dynasty to see their determination, and it is best to compromise and restore the interests of their warriors.
"General, the Ming army will arrive in less than half an hour!" A soldier hurriedly came to report.
"There's no time, I'll evacuate Beijing City soon!" Li Jun stood up and said.
The other two nodded and walked out of the lobby with Li Jun.
With Li, Pang, and He three families taking the lead, most of the warrior tribes who originally gathered in Beijing City withdrew from Beijing City with all the resources and property, and fled to the west of Shaanxi Province, and the Ming army did not kill Beijing City, Manchus, Mongols, and Han people fled from Beijing City one after another, avoiding the Ming army's soldiers, and Beijing City became an empty city.
Before the arrival of the Ming army, some ruffians took the opportunity to make trouble and loot the remnants of the city's property, and some ordinary people had just been looted by the Mongols, and now they were robbed by the ruffians again, and the whole city of Beijing was full of complaints and despair.
"Damn ruffians, usually afraid of the Manchus and Mongols, now they have taken the opportunity to rob the people, adding another knife to the hearts of the people who are already desperate!" The Jinyi Wei secret agent, who was originally hiding in Beijing to listen to the information, was furious, and dozens of people gathered together to slash and kill all the ruffians they saw.
"Kill!" Dozens of brocade-clothed guards passed by a place, and happened to see a few ruffians robbing a common people, so angry that they waved their knives and rushed over.
Several ruffians were quickly slashed down, and dozens of brocade-clad guards cut off their heads and held them in their hands, warning the other ruffians who still wanted to cause chaos in a bloody way.
"Death to those who rob the people!" Dozens of brocade-clothed guards carried more than thirty bloody heads and roared all the way.
This bloody scene really frightened the other ruffians and hooligans, the real ruffians are a minority, only less than a hundred people came out to make trouble, and the rest of the more than thirty people who were killed immediately became honest.
Shen Shi.
The black army outside the city drove in the direction of Beijing, and it was the Ming army that killed it.
"Your Majesty, Beijing City has arrived!" Li Yan said to Zhu Ci.
Seeing the city wall of Beijing, many generals sighed with emotion, and many generals were very excited. This is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, which has been occupied by the Liukou and Manchu for more than five years, and now it has finally returned to the hands of the Ming Dynasty, which also indicates the real victory of the Northern Expedition.
Seeing the city of Beijing close in front of him, Zhu Cicheng was also extremely excited, finally, a tragic fate of the Han people was rewritten because of him, this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains did not let the barbaric Manchus rule, and there will be no another hundred years of shame in the future.
"Into town!" With a wave of his hand, Zhu Ci opened the way by thousands of soldiers of the Yinglong Army who were neatly dressed and carried bayonets and spears on their shoulders, and hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded his emperor's royal car into the city of Beijing.
The bayonet shone in the cold light in the sun, indescribably mighty.
"Your Majesty, woo" A group of people who were robbed witnessed the majestic army entering the city, looking at Zhu Ci's royal car, they cried, after all, it was the Ming Dynasty that was truly orthodox, and only the Ming Dynasty could give them a stable life.
In the past, the imperial court, they pinned their hopes on Li Zicheng, and later Li Zicheng shattered their expectations, and they were bewitched by the Manchus again, but the Manchus also failed to give them a stable one, and they also abducted them before leaving.
Although Dolgon ordered the Manchu children not to participate in the plundering of the people of Beijing, the Mongols and Manchus were similar, both riding war horses, so the people subconsciously counted the Manchus among them.
The original Ming Dynasty was **, but it was all because the Holy Monarch did not come out and the traitorous ministers were in charge, but now that the emperor has changed, the Ming Dynasty immediately got better again.
"Long live, long live, long live" The people of Beijing spontaneously shouted at Zhu Ci's royal car, this is the holy monarch they are looking forward to, and I believe that with the presence of the current emperor, they will be able to re-establish their lives.
Zhu Ci dared to be expected and shouted by the people, and there were some tears in his eyes for a while, in the end, they were just a group of ordinary people, in fact, they didn't want much, just a full meal and a stable life, he swore that in his lifetime, he would never let the people of the Ming Dynasty suffer such a miserable life again.
"Spread my will, mobilize the military rations carried by the army, and give relief to all the people inside and outside Beijing!" Zhu Ci stumbled and ordered.
He already knew about the Mongols' captivity before leaving, and he was angry, but he would not let the Mongols go easily.
"Order, the Sixth Army and the Thirteenth Army will stay in Beijing City, and the rest of the people will fight out of the Mongolian steppe with me, and I will make the Mongols pay a heavy price!" Zhu Ciji's eyes flashed with a cold cold light.
"Yes!"
With Zhu Ci's order, the Northern Expedition army entered the city without staying, and continued to kill non-stop to the Mongolian grassland outside the Guanwai, vowing to make the Mongols pay the price of blood!
