The inside of Beijing City has been blown up, the gates are scattered, branches are all over Beijing, even if there are no branches, some things at home need to be done outside, almost everyone has gotten the news, the Mongolian cavalry is coming, and the target is obviously Beijing City.

These people who did not follow the Manchu Qing Dynasty to withdraw from the customs basically did not plan to follow them to Liaodong to suffer, and were ready to surrender, whether it was the Ming Dynasty or the Great Zhou, their help was indispensable to take over the city of Beijing.

In the eyes of these adults, Da Ming and Da Zhou are both from the orthodox regime, and it is absolutely impossible to kill as indiscriminately as Li Zicheng, those people who were born with mud legs themselves are hostile to the family of officials and riches, and they are ruthless, these orthodox courts will not do that kind of thing to kill chickens and take eggs.

But they never expected that the Mongol cavalry would arrive in Beijing first, and all plans were disrupted for a while.

The people in the city could only come together to come up with a charter, and they could now be considered to be in the same boat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are sitting here today because the family has reached the critical point of life and death, and now the Mongolian cavalry is less than two hundred miles away from Beijing City, if we are indifferent, we will be the next unlucky."

"That's right, this Mongolian cavalry is no better than others, they must have come to loot silver, our official family is not worth mentioning in the eyes of others, maybe we are just pieces of silver in their eyes, so everyone wants to think, what should we do?"

At this time, a person sitting at the bottom right stood up: "I have an idea, how about we abandon the city and run, whether it is to defect to Daming or Da Zhou or directly follow the team of Daqing, how can we save the lives of the whole family at that time?" ”

A person sitting on the left-hand side sneered: "Let's not talk about it for the time being, we can't outrun the Mongolian cavalry, even if we can barely run, why should people accept us?" ”

What he said is indeed reasonable, eighty percent of the wealth of the whole city is gathered in the hands of these people, if they run away, the Mongolian cavalry will definitely not give up, after all, people are here to rob the silver and go back to spend the winter, if they kill people and set fires, why run so far.

If he defected to the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that Kangxi has now understood the thoughts of these people, and it is uncertain how they will be said when the time comes, although the Qing Dynasty has received these officials who betrayed the Ming Dynasty, but they have already betrayed the Qing Dynasty by default, and then I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain, maybe it will be directly distributed to the Manchu banner people as slaves, and it is estimated that life will be worse than death at that time.

As for the Ming Dynasty and the Great Zhou, the condition they relied on to negotiate was that they had deep roots in the city of Beijing, which could help them stabilize the situation in the fastest time and lay a good foundation for dominating the world in the future. But once they abandon the city and flee, this only condition is lost, without this condition, they are useless people, and when the time comes, they will be killed for a few days and say that they are angry for the previous dynasty, and no one will care about them.

So as soon as this adult said it, the people around him basically figured it out, it is indeed such a truth, only they are valuable in Beijing City, and leaving Beijing City is a dead end.

Thinking of this, a military general at the bottom left stood up suddenly: "What are you afraid of, the city has spread, the army of the Ming Dynasty has been attacking day and night in order to rescue Beijing City, and it will be there in four days at the latest, no matter how fast the Mongolian cavalry goes, it will take a day and a half to get to the city, and then they will have to rest for at least one night, we only need to hold it for two days, and Beijing City will be saved, and then we will go to Daming and be tough." ”

This is fortunate that in the Qing Dynasty, the status of the military generals has risen, if it is in the Ming Dynasty, this kind of discussion, will definitely not let the military generals interject, as soon as the military general spoke, everyone was stunned, and the person sitting in the middle said with a smile: "General Liao, we don't know anything about marching and fighting, can you tell us, with our ability, is it possible to hold Beijing City." ”

This general also did not feel impatient: "Since Lord Song has opened his mouth, then I will tell the truth, there is not a word of emptiness, if we can work together in the city, the Mongolian cavalry will definitely not be able to attack." The city of Beijing is afraid that it is the strongest city in the world, although the adults have turned over the history of nearly three hundred years, since the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Beijing, Beijing has never been breached, it is their own people who have opened the city gate, and the Mongolian cavalry came from afar, there are no ladders, their horses will not fly, and it will take some time to build the ladders, and we still have a great chance. ”

After hearing this, a person on the left hand side of Lord Song stood up and slapped the table: "In this case, what else can I say, we will fight this battle, don't want to preserve the strength of your family, as long as Beijing City is defended, our whole family will have a way to live, otherwise the Mongols will enter the city, but no matter how much silver you have in your family, if you are unhappy, it will be a knife." ”

"That's right, any of us have a lot of domestic servants in the home, just get together, are you afraid that you won't be able to stop it for two days, as long as you block it for two days, we can speak harder in the future, and we can get a good position for our family."

"In that case, let's put aside our prejudices and fight the enemy together."

Seeing that these adults had begun to look forward to defending the city, General Liao smiled bitterly and opened his mouth again: "Ladies and gentlemen, let me say another thing that you don't like to hear, I just said that as long as we work together in the city, we can defend the city, but this condition is not easy." ”

Lord Song frowned: "General Liao, don't worry, although we people also have fights on weekdays, but in the face of the life and death of each family now, no one will be so blind." ”

"Yes, General Liao, don't worry, we will definitely not hold back."

"That's not what I said, you may not know much about the Mongolian cavalry, I tell you, you just imagine them like wild wolves in the grassland, eating human flesh and drinking human blood, if your lords and servants who have not been on the battlefield are not prepared, I am afraid that they will not be able to support a round, and when the time comes, they will scatter and flee, and our Beijing City will be finished."

Lord Song didn't understand a little, he didn't have a deep study of this march and war, and now he was even more confused when he heard this sentence: "Didn't General Liao just say that as long as we work together in the city, we can defend the city?" ”

"We want to defend the city, not only rely on the servants and guards of your lords, but also mobilize the people of the whole city, only by stimulating the blood of the whole city can it be possible to defend the city."
