Although the situation is very good, Yang Qilong is not crazy enough to dare to attack the Forbidden City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIf you pass from the bridge in front, the gates of the Forbidden City are tall and mighty, and the arrow tower is stationed with elite Mengbaqi archers, as long as you step on the bridge, you will be shot into a hedgehog by the random arrows from the arrow tower. If the city is attacked from somewhere else, the moat of the Forbidden City is 52 meters wide and the water depth is 5 meters, and not a moat can be crossed.

"We are mainly escorting the eldest prince out of Beijing! There's no need to fight the Forbidden City! Yang Qilong said.

"If we take advantage of the chaos to get out, what will the others do?" Another general, Zhu Shangxian, asked.

Yang Qilong said: "We are all working for the prince!" If you want to achieve great things, you must not have the kindness of a woman! Others, can only be sacrificed! Let's take advantage of the chaos and get out of the city! ”

According to Yang Qilong's plan, after the rebel army left the capital, some of them ran to the southeast to attract the attention of the Qing army. Because the rebels had firearms such as short guns and grenades, the Qing army must have thought that the rebels were going to flee to Jiangnan and join up with the Ming army in Jiangnan, so they would send people to intercept and chase them. However, Yang Qilong took the opportunity to protect Wu Shifan, retreated to the west with a small number of people, entered Shaanxi, and then fled to Hanzhong, and then passed through Sichuan, and sent Wu Shifan to Wu Sangui.

In fact, Yang Qilong was a double agent, and he served not only Wang Xinyu, but also Wu Sangui. Most of the weapons in his hands came from the Heaven and Earth Society.

There was chaos in the city, and the Eight Banners and the Banner People trampled on each other, killing and wounding countless people. However, the chaotic situation also prevented the rebels from continuing to attack the inner city. Yang Qilong's rebel army was red-eyed, desperately expelled the banner people who had no time to escape, and threw grenades at the Eight Banner soldiers who were blocked by the banner people, which also killed many banner people and caused even greater chaos. At the same time, some people took advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and began to kill people and loot their property.

In fact, except for a few of the backbone of Yang Qilong's rebel army, Wu Sangui's intelligence officers, ordinary soldiers were a group of rabble, and only by relying on the power of weapons and the advantage of surprise attacks could they defeat the Qing army. The situation was chaotic, and these people began to take advantage of the opportunity to loot some gold and silver treasures to fill their pockets.

"The Green Battalion Horse Army and Firearms Army stationed in Fengtai and other places are almost here!" Jiao San reminded Yang Qilongdao.

Yang Qilong looked at his own people and was completely chaotic, those rebel soldiers were busy killing people and robbing money, he knew that he could only give up these people at this time, anyway, these people were a group of rabble, in the chaotic situation, human greed and selfishness were stimulated.

"Let's rush out to the east!" Yang Qilong ordered.

There were more than 1,000 "rebel armies", and at this time there were only more than 100 backbones and more than 300 people who knew that they could only survive by following the big team, and the rest were already in chaos.

There are two gates to the east of Beijing, one is Chaoyang Gate and the other is Dongzhi Gate. Because Chaoyang Gate is the entrance to transport goods, and there is a lot of oil and water stationed at this city gate, many of the children of the Eight Banners have tried their best to find a position to guard Chaoyang Gate, and the number of defenders here is relatively large.

Yang Qilong took people and went to Dongzhimen.

At this time, the Green Camp Qing army stationed in Fengtai and other places had already entered the city, and those lost soldiers of the "rebel army" dropped their weapons in the chaos and blended into the chaotic banner men. Originally, they were all Han Eight Banners and Baoyi, and it was really not easy for the Qing army to search for rebels in the chaotic crowd.

Yang Qilong's men rushed to Dongzhi Gate, defeated the defenders with muskets, bows and crossbows, and grenades, opened the city gates, and the remaining 400 or so people fled from the city.

Jiao San, who was responsible for attracting the attention of the Qing army, fled to the southeast with more than 300 people. And Yang Qilong only took a few dozen people, escorted Wu Shifan, circled the capital, and fled to the west. Along the way, Yang Qilong and others changed into the clothes of the people, and after dressing up in disguise, they fled to Shaanxi. After more than a month of long travel, Yang Qilong finally completed the task and successfully brought Wu Shifan to Sichuan.

The more than 300 people brought out by Jiao San were annihilated under the encirclement and interception of the Qing army, and after Jiao San and others were arrested, they were escorted to the capital and executed in Lingchi.

After a night of confusion, the sky gradually brightened.

Kangxi, who had been frightened for a night, came back to his senses, and the first thing he did was to ask: "Did Wu Yingxiong, that dog thief, run away?" ”

Soon after, a group of Qing troops appeared at the gate of Wu Yingxiong's Efu Mansion.

Wu Yingxiong knew that the person sent by Kangxi to arrest him had arrived, so he straightened his collar, strode out of the house, and shouted to the Qing soldiers who came to arrest him: "Wu Yingxiong is here!" You're going to catch this son, right? I'm going with you! ”

So Wu Yingxiong and his second son Wu Shilin were both arrested and taken into prison.

The Admiral of Jiumen, who was responsible for arresting Wu Yingxiong, entered the palace and reported to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager!" Wu Yingxiong and Wu Shilin have already been caught! But ran a Wu Shifan! ”

Hearing the news that Wu Shifan ran away, Princess Jianning had a very complicated mood, as a princess of the Qing Dynasty, she had to obey the interests of most of the banner people. But no matter what Wu Shifan said, he was her son, and she was also relieved that her son could survive. She knew that as long as Wu Shifan was not caught, she would definitely be able to live in peace. As for whether this world is the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, as long as the son is alive, it will be fine.

Although Yang Qilong's uprising failed, the bannermen in the capital suffered heavy losses, with more than 2,000 soldiers killed and wounded in the Eight Banners, and more than 5,000 people killed and wounded in the city. Kangxi, who was furious, hanged several Eight Banner leaders before he was angry.

After Wu Yingxiong was pressed into the prison, two and a half months passed in a blink of an eye.

Unfavorable news came from the Huguang battlefield, of course, the news was sent by Tuhai and other wicked people first, saying that Ao Bai was cowardly as a mouse, missed the opportunity, and was stubborn and self-serving, and did not listen to advice, which led to the defeat of Huguang. At present, Wuchang is no longer able to defend, and seeing that the pseudo-Ming traitors are about to conquer Wuchang, the blame for this is on Aobai.

Kangxi was furious: "Worship this old thief!" I will not kill this thief, and I will not be a man! ”

……

Outside the city of Wuchang, inside the camp of the Ming army.

Spies from all walks of life reported that the morale of the Qing troops stationed in Wuchang City was low, and Tuhai and others had fled to Xiangyang. In addition, there was news sent back by the secret agent, saying that Yue Le and Jie Shu had also left the city and fled in the direction of Jiujiang, and even Mulima had escaped. In the city, only Ao Bai and Zhang Changgeng and others remained, as well as Zhou Peigong, Wu Dan, Zhu Yike and others.

"After two months of siege, Wuchang City is already a ripe peach! As long as we touch it lightly, this peach will fall into our pocket! Wang Xinyu pointed to Wuchang City outside the camp and said.

Wang Yuyou said: "Ao Bai didn't run, he is still guarding Wuchang!" ”

Wang Xinyu, who traveled from later generations, of course knew the contradiction between Ao Bai and Kangxi, so he replied: "It seems that Ao Bai knows that even if he runs away, he will have no way to live, so he stays!" In that case, let's take it alive! ”
