Inside a mansion in the inner city.

"Kill him, kill this dog minion, it's he who stole my half of the bread!"

A little boy of four or five years old shouted angrily.

At the same time, he pointed to a kneeling middle-aged man in the courtyard, who was lying there and kowtowing continuously, and next to him, a flag man in his twenties and thirties wearing a third-grade official uniform was holding a waist knife, pointing at him with a hateful face.

"Lao Yan, I treat you well with my master, don't you have any food and clothing in your family? But how can you do such a thing? How can you steal from your master? ”

The official said.

"The master spared his life, but the slave was so hungry that he was confused for a while, so he stole the little master's cake."

Old Yan kowtowed his head and pleaded.

"Hunger is not the reason for you to steal things, you must know that starvation is a small loss of festival is a big one, the master I am a servant of the Ministry of Rites, you must observe the etiquette as a slave, even if you starve to death, you must not steal anything, let alone steal the master's things, if you want to say hungry, we are all hungry, now the saints only eat two meals a day, and the masters only have two pieces of bread a day, but the more this time, the more you must keep your duty as a slave, the more you must think about the master, you just eat some grass roots and bark, and you must save food for the master, Didn't I give you that beloved orchid yesterday, master? You see how good the master and I are to you, you have to know that the master is your heaven, but you even steal the master's bread, this is a big rebellion, do you understand? ”

The official said.

"Master, please spare the slave! The slave knows that he is wrong, master, you must not kill the slave, the slave has to serve the master again! ”

Lao Yan cried and said.

"Alas, you are indeed a good slave, you are still following the master when everyone else has run away, it is said that the master should give you a chance to repent and reform!"

The official hesitated.

"Kill him, Amma, kill him!"

The kid was still yelling.

"Qiying, this kid is right, what is left of this kind of minion, our family is a yellow belt, how can we tolerate a slave who steals the master's things!"

At this moment, a man in his forties and fifties walked out, rubbing two walnuts in his hand and said.

"The old master spares his life!"

Lao Yan hurriedly kowtowed and cried.

At this moment, the old master glanced at the official, and the latter quietly raised the knife, but Lao Yan was obviously not a fool, and at the moment he fell, he jumped out and slammed into the old master's body, the latter was caught off guard, and was knocked down on the pillar behind him at once, and then Lao Yan quickly strangled his neck, and at the same time took out a small knife from his waist and aimed it at his neck, and said to the official with a hideous face: "Master, don't blame the slave for being unjust, the slave is loyal to you, and even his wife has killed the filial piety masters, Now I'm going to kill me if I just eat a piece of your cake, and the life of the slave is too cheap, even if I die today, I have to pull you on the back first! ”

"It's the opposite, it's really the opposite, you dog slave has wasted decades of master's teachings, it's just a wolf's heart, a dog's lungs, a man's face and a beast's heart!"

The official yelled angrily.

"Wolf's heart and dog's lungs?"

Lao Yan sneered: "Let's half a catty and eight taels, the slave daughter-in-law is all in the belly of your family!" ”

"Lao Yan, you put down the knife first, we have something to say, you are a good slave, we are just like our own relatives, it is not worth it for such a trivial matter."

The old master said tremblingly.

"You tell him to put the knife down first!"

Old Yan roared.

"Lu Kang, you put the knife down!"

The old master said to the official.

"Put it down!"

Old Yan roared.

At the same time, he took a step back and leaned directly against the window behind him, the official hesitated and slowly bent down, Lao Yan stared at him, the waist knife in his hand began to be placed on the ground, and suddenly at this time, there was a childish roar in the room behind Lao Yan, followed by Lao Yan's scream, and at the same time, the old master also screamed, and the next moment the old master ran forward desperately, and behind him Lao Yan's chest, there was an extra slender bayonet.

Perhaps because he was not stabbed in the heart, the old Yan suddenly burst out and took two steps forward, pounced viciously on the old master, and then stabbed him in the neck, and the official also reacted at this time, and stabbed Lao Yan in the chest without hesitation.

"Finally meat to eat!"

The next moment, the three women and the little boy rushed out of the room with cheers, desperately pounced on the old Yan who had not yet breathed, and dragged him back like a baby, the old master stretched out his hand but no one bandaged him, and his son looked at no one on the left and right, glanced at his own father with apologetic eyes, raised his foot and kicked the knife that was not inserted to the end, and then chased his wife and children to the backyard.

"Livestock, livestock!"

The old master behind him squeezed a sentence out of his mouth with difficulty, and then swallowed his last breath with staring dead eyes.

"Long live Lord, this grain won't last a few days."

At this time, in the past Shuntian Mansion and now in the Qing Imperial Palace, the new chief military minister Fu Changan said to Yongzheng worriedly.

Previously, Qianlong had a total of six military ministers, A Gui was the chief, and then He Shen, Wang Jie, Qing Gui and Dong He and Fu Chang'an, among which A Gui, He Shen and Wang Jie died in the palace, the latter one was trampled to death in the chaos, Qinggui supervised the war in Henan, Dong Huan, the disloyal minister, actually fled, and there was Fu Chang'an left. In fact, there is nothing to manage in this inner city now, I can't fight and can't fight, I can't run and I can't run, it's nothing more than consumption, now Yongying doesn't even have a court meeting, and no one cares about official affairs in the princes and nobles of the city, and there is no official business to manage anyway, their main job is to dig out the mouse hole, catch fish and catch loaches in Shichahai and a few sewers, and be able to hit a wild dog is the same as the New Year, a few days ago more than 100,000 people on the Shicha beach ice and snow battle, not to mention fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs, that is, the snails are all caught.

"This demon!"

Yongying scolded indignantly.

Now he can only scold Yang Feng.

After all, no matter what he does, it is impossible to conjure up food, there are even Qing troops outside who are already slaughtering their war horses, and he actually knows about sneaking up on people, but these are useless, because it won't last long, no matter what is meaningless in front of the population, there are too many people they need to feed, it is said that a person has to eat hundreds of thousands of catties of food every day, and killing a hundred war horses a day cannot guarantee that each person will eat a mouthful of meat!

"How many soldiers are there in the city?"

He asked Fu Chang'an gloomily.

"Back to Banzai, there are only 30,000 young adults, and this has to count all young adults, but Banzai also knows that many of these are clans and Jueluo, they have been clothed and fed since childhood, and if you want to say that it is okay to ride a horse for a few laps, and really ride a horse to run that ......"

Fu Changan said sadly: "Then don't count on it. ”

"Alas, these wastes, if Taizu Taizong's iron horse is still there, why let this demon run rampant!"

Yongying sighed.

Of course, he didn't know that it was his Taizu Taizong's iron horses, and they were also abused goods in front of Yang Feng, but at this time he could only do this to himself, anyway, it was impossible for him to break through, Beijing's Eight Banners had been transferred out in large numbers in the past two years, and the number of those left behind was not much, and most of them were even Qianlong who understood that they would definitely not be able to go to the battlefield. Originally, he was counting on the training of a new army, and planned that after the first batch of 2,000 was trained, he would use a year to train at least 20,000 of the same, and at the same time use the gentry regiments and Mongolian cavalry to drag Yang Feng, if it could be delayed for two years, then the entire Beijing Eight Banners would be all newly armed, and then Yang Feng would have the ability to play a decisive battle.

However, this demon does not play according to the routine.

He actually flew directly to Beijing.

What they didn't expect was that there were so many chaotic parties hidden around Beijing, and even the palace could be easily attacked, saying that at this time, Yongying had a feeling of vomiting blood with anger when he thought about it, and the Holy Religion was flooding under their noses, making munitions under their noses, and making all preparations under their noses, and then the three city walls did not block hundreds of chaotic parties, so that people ran to the palace to kill, which was completely like a fantasy.

He didn't know at this time, what they could have known in advance was that the righteous citizen of the Qing Dynasty was trampled to death by the chief military minister in front of him.

Of course, there is no point in studying this.

The problem now is that it is impossible for him to break through with his current strength, it is impossible for the 30,000 young and middle-aged people of the Eight Banners to protect hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children, and even if they abandon the old and weak women and children, they will not be able to kill the heavy siege around Beijing, as soon as they get out of the city, the hundreds of thousands of enemy troops will rush forward like wolves, and then tear their 30,000 people apart. There is no suspense about this, even if they go out of Beijing to the nearest place to go to Juyong Pass and go to Xuanhua, then they still have to walk a hundred miles outside the murderous city, and they are not the Eight Banners of the year, it is estimated that this journey will have to walk for a whole day, and they have to ensure that no enemy army occupies Juyong Pass, but this is impossible.

Even their horses were too hungry to run at this time.

It is said that people can't eat enough, of course, there is no fodder to feed the horses, and those horses have all been wasted until now.

"Alas, I have to wait for reinforcements!"

Yongying said with a long sigh.

"Long live, it's time to eat, today the servants dug a big pot of loaches at Shuiguan, and there are several river mussels, all of which are very fat, let the cook clean up and make a few specialty dishes for you."

At this time, the official of his royal palace came over with a smile and said.

"It's hard for you on a cold day, Cheng Zhai, you can also stay and eat together, pass the decree, give a feast!"

Yong Ying said.

"Long live the grace!"

Fu Changan hurriedly thanked him.

Then they went to eat the loach feast together!

Unbeknownst to them, however, their reinforcements were in the midst of a catastrophe.
