Tan Bai's military order was quickly issued by dozens of horsemen armed with torches, but more than half of them were shot with "black guns" after running a few streets, screaming and falling off their horses.

The heralds who went to the three granaries made it to their destinations, but except for the south of the city, the two granaries were already under the control of the rebellious Green Battalion. Even the granary in the south of the city was also in a fierce battle, and two hundred Jianzhou soldiers and the same number of green battalions were blocked in the high walls. Zhinian, the former commander of the soldiers and horses of Dongcheng in Beijing, commanded more than 1,000 people to desperately besiege, and many people in the city rushed to reinforcements with kitchen knives and sticks.

The captive soldier who gave the order finally approached the back door of the granary, and as soon as he shouted, "The general has an order, burn the granary......" was slapped on the back of the head, and the voice suddenly stopped abruptly.

Then more than a dozen nearby people ripped him off his horse, and kitchen knives and bricks fell on him like a torrential rain with curses, "Dead tartars, this is all robbing our food, why are you burning it?!" ”

"Don't be polite to this dog tartar!"

"Kill him and protect the granary!"

In less than half a pillar of incense, the horseman had been beaten to the point that his brain was bursting, and he was completely invisible.

There was a fire near the Forbidden City, after all, the forbidden area of the palace was too large, and Tan Bai's cronies were responsible for lighting the fire, so it was difficult for Xu Feihu to protect this place thoroughly.

The palace on the northeast side was the first to burn. Fortunately, Liu Chang led his troops to arrive in time, killed the captured soldiers who lit the fire in a moment, and then rushed into the palace.

Seeing that the fire was spreading very quickly, he immediately made a decision, leaving 500 people to draw water to extinguish the fire, and then took the rest to the west until they came to the vicinity of the Qianqing Palace, and let people set up cannons to collapse the North Five Palaces, Zhongcui Palace, Jingren Palace and other palaces......

Besides, on Tan Bai's side, more than 300 henchmen Bayala fought desperately to find a bloody road, and converged with the main force of more than 4,000 taels of yellow flags near Taiping, and then rushed all the way towards Fuchengmen.

After passing the Yangshi Street, he saw that the city gate was still in the hands of his own people, so he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately urged the horse to grab the door and go out.

After running more than three miles away, he was about to ask the lieutenant general to count the men, but he was surprised to see a basket of several signal flares rising into the sky not far away, and he knew that it was not good.

Before he could give the order to be on guard, more than a dozen cannons on the northwest side had already spewed flames, and the cannonballs swept diagonally through the army behind him, causing a panic in an instant.

Subsequently, a group of steel-armored cavalry armed with long swords rushed out from the southwest, taking advantage of the untidy shape of the Qing army out of the city, and easily killed it like a shuttle piercing through the water.

Tan Bai's men and horses were immediately divided into two pieces, the loss of the capital had caused their morale to be greatly demoralized, at this time suddenly encountered a surprise attack, and in the night I don't know how many men and horses the Ming army had, and they didn't dare to fight to the death at the moment, and quickly fled in both directions.

The 3,000 captives on the west flank were soon surrounded by the infantry of the Broken Battalion, and after a volley of cannons and rifled guns, the 2,000 2,300 captives who were still alive fell to their knees and surrendered.

Tan Bai took the remaining less than 2,000 men and horses and ran towards Juyong Pass for a while, but suddenly changed his mind and fled in a circle in the direction of Shanhaiguan......

Two days later, that is, on the fourth day of the fifth month of the first year of Hanxing.

The battle in the city of Beijing has come to an end, and the Dragon Guards and the Broken Battalion have taken full control of the ancient city.

A spacious four-wheeled cloud cart with a bright yellow umbrella drove into the city from Chaoyang Gate, surrounded by more than 1,000 majestic imperial soldiers.

Zhu Linmiao glanced at the city tower covered with the blue background of the sun and the moon and the same bright flag, smiled and waved his hand to the people on both sides of the road who spontaneously came to greet him, and immediately heard the earth-shattering "Long live" cry.

This Ming capital, which had been forcibly occupied for two years, has finally returned to his original master!

Although it is a change of hands, it symbolizes that the invasion of the Central Plains by the northern barbarians has completely failed!

It symbolizes the endless glory of the Ming Dynasty and the continuous luck!

It symbolizes that the people of China will never be enslaved!

It symbolizes that the Chinese civilization will continue to be brilliant!

It also symbolizes the advent of a new era!

It's been too long!

Even when many people of the Ming Dynasty thought that it was impossible for Jianlu to be defeated, a holy monarch came out of nowhere and led the heroes to sweep away the Tartars, giving them new hope.

How could they not be ecstatic?!

They all wept with joy, and shouted out those two words with all their strength, "Long live!" To express the irrepressible excitement in their hearts.

The people who greeted him had been kneeling from Chaoyang Gate to Donghua Gate of the Forbidden City, and countless people were gathering here after hearing the news.

Almost all the people in the city have changed into Hanfu, and most of them have obviously been preparing at home, and some of them have also bought wigs.

Zhu Linmiao was sighing in his heart, and suddenly a horse came from behind the guard of honor and whispered a few words in the ear of Zhang Jiayu, who accompanied him.

The latter hurriedly urged the horse to come to the royal chariot and bow his hands, but the sound of shouting "long live" around the sky shook the sky, and Zhu Linmiao couldn't hear it clearly for a long time, so he simply beckoned him to the car and asked, "What's the urgency?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty," Zhang Jiayu said, "the men and horses who were ambushed in Baodi intercepted Tan Bai's rout, and more than 1,800 thieves were all captured, and seven of Tan Bai and other captives were killed, and eleven people were captured." ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded slightly, "In this way, the main force of the Qing army in the entire territory of Beizhili can be regarded as almost cleared." ”

In fact, looking at the entire south of the Great Wall, there are still more than 20,000 people in Shanxi now, and they are also fleeing in the direction of Yanmen Pass.

It can be said that the power of Jianyu in the Central Plains has been basically eradicated. What remains will be the ruthless reckoning of the Ming Dynasty against the Tartars of these scourges in China!

Zhang Jiayu was a little worried: "Your Majesty, the last general just thought of something. That Tan Bai abandoned the city and fled, he must have already left a way to retreat. He was obviously heading in the direction of Shanhaiguan, which means that there must be thieves and thieves there. ”

Shanhaiguan is the primary pass to control the southward movement of Jianyu and the northward advance of the Ming Dynasty, and it is necessary to control this place in order to grasp the initiative to attack Liaodong in the future.

Zhu Linmiao said: "The army has just gone through a big war, and it still needs to be repaired for a while, which team of people can be mobilized immediately?" ”

Zhang Jiayu thought for a while and said: "Avoid it, the swift battalion Liu Wenxiu's department can fight." In addition, the Lancer battalion did not participate in the big battle, a slight trim would suffice. ”

"This adds up to nearly five thousand people," Zhu Lin bowed, "plus the seventh and ninth battalions of the artillery battalion, and immediately rush to Shanhaiguan to seize the pass!" ”

The 7th and 9th Battalions of the Artillery Battalion were mainly based on Franc machine guns, and they hardly participated in the battle to recover Beijing.

"The last will obey!"

While Junchen was talking, Zhu Linmiao smelled a pungent smell of burnt beard.

He lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see that the car had arrived next to the Forbidden City in Beijing, and the temple in the northeast corner was still smoking, apparently having just experienced a fire.
