Cao Huachun, who was about to smear the soles of his feet, suddenly heard someone call him, and was secretly taken aback, so he quickly turned his head, wanting to see who called him at this time, but turned his head and saw a middle-aged man dressed in a short dress and his unattractive appearance appeared behind him at some point, Cao Huachun looked at him carefully, and he could be sure that he had not seen this person at all, but for some reason, with Cao Huachun's ability to read countless people, he felt that the person in front of him was probably not simple, Although there is nothing special from this dress, there is always a feeling that Cao Huachun does not dare to underestimate him.

So Cao Huachun glanced around and found that although he was not far from the city gate, no one noticed him, and even in the alley he was in, there was not even a single figure, so he didn't dare to make too much of it: "Ahem!" Who are you? What are you looking for from us? ”

This person looked around, and saw that the area around Chaoyangmen was in chaos, and there was no one to command, and few people took the initiative to go to the city to make preparations for the imperial guard, even the big eunuch who was in charge of Chaoyangmen quietly took two little eunuchs, but slipped to this place in the city gate where no one paid attention, so he was not polite, and immediately said to Cao Huachun: "Chengbiao is getting off the horse, as for the identity!" It's inconvenient to talk here, since Gonggong Cao wants to go in, you might as well borrow Gonggong Cao to enter the house and make it clear before it's too late! ”

Cao Huachun's pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately saw that this Ma Chengbiao's identity was definitely not simple, and when he wanted to refuse, this Ma Chengbiao suddenly showed something behind him, which immediately made Cao Huachun gasp, and hurriedly exclaimed: "It's easy to say!" Don't be rude! Let's just go in and talk about it! It turned out that what this man had brought out was a flintlock handcuff with a novel style.

Although Cao Huachun has never seen this new type of flintlock handcuff, he has seen the arquebus, and he can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, from the mouth of the black hole, he also knows that if this thing comes to him so closely, his old life will be returned on the spot, so even if he is frightened, he is almost incontinent.

That's not all, just when he was blocked here by this Ma Chengbiao, a few more strong Chinese characters suddenly appeared in the alley, and nodded to Ma Chengbiao, obviously these people are also Ma Chengbiao's group.

Cao Huachun regrets this! He is a eunuch who is responsible for commanding the soldiers and horses of Chaoyangmen, and he was kidnapped not far from the city gate, which is really a joke, if he doesn't want to smear the soles of his feet with oil, stay under the city gate, even if it is chaotic, he will not be kidnapped at this time!

But at this time, seeing Ma Chengbiao, they had already surrounded him, as long as he opened his mouth to shout, it was estimated that he would be killed immediately, so Cao Huachun didn't dare to make a sound, and he was trembling and was pushed into this courtyard by Ma Chengbiao and the two little eunuchs he was carrying.

"Who are you, and there is no one else here now, can you make it clear? If you want to make money, we still have some silver tickets here, and the heroes can take them! And this rosary on our family is also worth some silver, even if the hero takes it, as long as he doesn't want to harm our family! Cao Huachun don't look at Chongzhen's favor and trust in him for so many years, he has been rampant among the Beijing teachers, but at this point, he has long lost the arrogance he used to have, even for this Ma Chengbiao of unknown origin, he asked in a low voice.

After this Ma Chengbiao entered the courtyard, he hugged his fists and said to Cao Huachun: "Don't misunderstand Grandpa Cao, our brothers don't want to rob and kidnap tickets!" We Ming people don't do dark things, we don't hide from Cao's father-in-law, and we are outside! ”

Cao Huachun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then immediately realized what this person meant outside, although he was prepared, he was still taken aback, and quickly took a few steps back, so that the eunuch who followed him blocked him, and exclaimed: "You...... You...... You are a Xingtian...... Oh no! Are you from the Great Middle Kingdom? ”

Ma Chengbiao smiled slightly and nodded: "Not bad!" I am fortunate to be able to do things for the current emperor! Father-in-law Cao doesn't have to be afraid, he doesn't want to be unfavorable to Grandpa Cao! ”

Cao Huachun is a smart man, and immediately thought of the purpose of this person looking for him, so he pretended to be calm and said, "Then I don't know what you are looking for me?" ”

Ma Chengbiao didn't talk nonsense, and after looking at the sky, he said directly to Cao Huachun: "Without him, I just want to save Cao's father-in-law's life!" ”

Cao Huachun was taken aback again when he heard this, and said calmly: "Ridiculous! Amusing! This is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and our family is the master of ceremonies, as long as our family shouts, I am afraid that thousands of officers and soldiers will rush in immediately, and you will be on the ground, why do you need to save our family's life? It's ridiculous! ”

Ma Chengbiao sneered and said: "Gonggong Cao is right, but at this time, it is still the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but Gonggong Cao thinks that how long can this capital of the Ming Dynasty last?" One day? Two days? Or three or five days? In my opinion, if our saint orders to attack the city for a while, I'm afraid we won't even be able to survive tonight!

What if our army breaks through the city? Didn't Gonggong Cao consider the way back? Could it be that Gonggong Cao wants to be a loyal minister and die with the Ming Dynasty? If that's the case, then there's not much to say below! Now turn around and leave, Quan Dang didn't come to Gonggong Cao today!

But looking at it below, it seems that Gonggong Cao doesn't want to be loyal to the Ming Emperor! At this time, as Gonggong Cao, he should be sitting on the city gate, why did Gonggong Cao sneak here with two little eunuchs?

By the way, there is one more thing to remind Gonggong Cao, the small courtyard in Broom Hutong, don't think that no one knows, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide Gonggong Cao for how long! ”

After Cao Huachun listened to Ma Chengbiao's words, he was scared on the spot, Ma Chengbiao was right, with their strength now, they want to hold Beijing City, it's just a joke, originally the saint also wanted to recruit the people in the city to help the defenders guard, but this notice was posted last night, not to mention the common people, even those officials did not send their families out to help guard the gate of the Beijing Division, so the Beijing Division is finished, and it is only a matter of time before it is broken by the Dazhong Army.

In fact, Cao Huachun has long seen this, according to his arrangement, he knows the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit, so on the surface he has a special residence in the palace, but secretly, he also secretly bought a small house in the very inconspicuous broom alley, in the past few months, he has already arranged for his cronies to be a little eunuch, and the gold and silver property in his mansion has been secretly transferred to the small courtyard in the broom alley, so he just wants to change his clothes at this time, and ran to the broom alley, thinking that he is hiding somewhere. After the situation stabilized, he would find a way to escape from Beijing City, find a random place, and rely on the gold and silver he had accumulated over the years, at least it would be no problem to live the life of a rich man.

But he didn't expect that he had such a secret thing as buying a house in Broom Hutong, and the people of the Great Chinese Army actually knew it clearly, so his original plan was equivalent to completely falling into the vacancy, and after people entered the city, they would definitely be able to find him, and Cao Huachun was completely frightened at this time.

Seeing that Ma Chengbiao seemed to be ready to turn around and leave, he didn't want to talk nonsense with him, while several other sturdy men who followed him showed a cruel smile and took out a sharp knife from his arms, Cao Huachun quickly shouted with a sharp voice: "Envoy, please stay!" As he spoke, he trotted up to catch up with Ma Chengbiao with the corner of his robe, showed a flattering smile, and asked Ma Chengbiao with a shy face: "The envoy, please stay, if the envoy has any orders, you might as well just say it!" This Ming Dynasty is over, and our family can see that there is absolutely no idea of wanting to be the enemy of Dazhong and North Korea, and I hope that the upper envoy can give our family a note to show the way! ”

Ma Chengbiao glanced at Cao Huachun with disdain, and said in his heart that this guy is usually quite favored by the current Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen, and today he handed over this Chaoyang Gate to him to guard, but this guy never thought about working for Chongzhen, there was a high dive at the beginning, and it was also such a thing, the more they were crippled, but the more afraid of death, and now that they see that the Ming Dynasty has gone, they are all only concerned about making plans for their own future, which makes Ma Chengbiao really look down on this Cao Huachun.

But today he didn't come to despise this Cao Huachun, but his superiors had an order, asking him to stare at Cao Huachun to death, find an opportunity to persuade Cao Huachun to surrender, and it was best to let Cao Huachun open the city gate to surrender, so no matter how much he looked down on Cao Huachun, he had to complete this matter.

So Ma Chengbiao immediately whispered a few words to Cao Huachun, Cao Huachun's face changed slightly, but he immediately gritted his teeth and nodded.

Just when the entire Jingshi was at a loss, Cao Huachun suddenly appeared outside the Chaoyang Gate in a big way, and summoned some of the soldiers who were guarding here, and after muttering for a while, the soldiers nodded again and again.

Just when Xiao Tianjian was counting the time outside the city, and it was already past noon, Xiao Tianjian turned around and pulled the reins of the horse, turned over and jumped on his war horse, and slowly raised one hand above his head.

The eyes of the trumpeters, heralds, standard-bearers and generals were focused on Xiao Tianjian's big hand, and when Xiao Tianjian's big hand waved down hard, they began to give orders and launch a general attack on Beijing City.

Including the various artillery guns that had been placed outside the city as early as possible, they had already finished loading, and one by one the gunners had prepared their red-hot iron drills, and they immediately began to bombard the city with heavy artillery as soon as the army was ordered.

There are countless soldiers and generals, began to prepare to carry those hook ladders, flying ladders and other siege equipment placed at their feet, only after the artillery bombardment, the officers gave an order, they rushed up to climb the city, and took the Ming Dynasty's Beijing division.

"Holy! It's past noon! The city has not been surrendered! After the iron head came to Xiao Tianjian's fitness, he said loudly to Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian turned his heart sideways, his hand clenched into a fist, the muscles of his shoulders tensed, and just as he was about to suddenly wave his arm down and give the order to start attacking the city with all his might, a Yu Linwei standing in front suddenly turned his head and shouted to Xiao Tianjian: "Holy Lord!" A white flag was raised on the Chaoyang Gate! ”

Xiao Tianjian looked fixedly, and sure enough, on the gatehouse of Chaoyangmen, where there had been no movement all morning, at this time, a white flag was suddenly raised, and it was swayed vigorously in the wind.

At this time, it was Liu Yao's department who was waiting for the siege outside the Chaoyang Gate, and everyone was tense at this time, just waiting to start the siege, but when they saw that the city was at this juncture, a big white flag appeared, and everyone immediately let out: "Shhhhhh......h

"Grandma! It's better to surrender sooner! It hurt Lao Tzu to hold back until now, and his grandmother's surrender was announced, isn't this a trick on Lao Tzu? Yan Shuting pulled the helmet off his head, slammed it on the ground, and kicked it, a good eight-petal iron helmet was flattened by his continuous wrestling and stomping.

Even Xiao Tianjian himself felt that he almost flashed his waist, thinking that the expected surrender was impossible to wait, he had already exerted all his strength and was ready to give an order to forcibly attack Beijing City, but at this juncture, the agreed surrender signal was suddenly played on the head of the city, the white flag! It made him feel as if he was holding back his strength but punched until he was empty, and he really felt like vomiting blood.

"Who is guarding the gates of this shit? How did you make up your mind to surrender at this time? Xiao Tianjian scolded secretly in his heart, but the clenched fist was slowly put down at this time.

After a while, the Chaoyang Gate began to creak open from the inside, and a group of eunuchs trotted out of the tall city gate, and quickly returned to the city gate in turn.

After Yan Shuting was ordered, he immediately took two battalions of infantry and a cavalry battalion, and immediately rushed to Chaoyang Gate, looking at these eunuchs and Ming army generals kneeling outside Chaoyang Gate, Yan Shuting was not polite to them at all, and did not ask their identities, but just roared: "Get aside, don't get in the way!" Listen to my orders, enter the city immediately, and control the city gate first! ……”

Cao Huachun was so frightened that he was so frightened that he took a group of eunuchs and generals who surrendered with him, and ran to the side of the road with a crawl, and once again knelt down busily, only to see these large and medium-sized generals, without even looking at them, and their neat formation, under the leadership of the generals, the cavalry in front, and the infantry in the back, rumbling a thunderous footstep, in a blink of an eye, rushed in front of them, and rushed into the Chaoyang Gate that had just been opened......
