The explosions heard by Ao Bai were like signals, and less than a pillar of incense after the explosion, Shunzhi's car appeared in the north of Yangzhou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The sudden appearance of the emperor shocked the Qing troops stationed in the northern city, and they were immediately ordered to open the city gates immediately. After the city gate was opened, thousands of soldiers of the Eight Banners of Manmeng surrounded the emperor's chariot and drove out, rolling north in the night.

Shunzhi went out of the city in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to explain the defense of Yangzhou City, except for the Manchurian Eight Banners, the rest of the soldiers and horses were not communicated, so that many officials with the army did not know that the emperor had left until the city was in turmoil.

When Tanhualang Ye Fangai heard the chaos outside, he was drinking with Yangzhou Mansion and other officials in the Yahua Hall. said that it was a drink, but one by one they were in no mood to drink, and everyone said that they were all revolving around a center, that is, whether the Qing Dynasty was really finished, and if the Qing Dynasty could not be saved, what would they do with the officials of the Qing Dynasty in the future. The Taiping army is very scary, they don't think about themselves, they have to think about their children and grandchildren.

Alas, the New Year's Eve is here to worry about the lives of the little family, and it is not interesting for the official to do this.

Most of the officials are natives of Jiangnan Province, and most of the people from other provinces are in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang, and half of their hometowns are now occupied by the Taiping Army. In the past, when the Qing army entered the customs, these Ming officials said that they would surrender, and they would not worry about their families being implicated. Even if they were determined to die for the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty would not destroy them because of this, but would praise them after the world was stable, which was almost an unwritten rule for changing dynasties for thousands of years. Who would have thought that this Taiping Kou from Guangdong did not act in accordance with the regulations, and threatened them with the destruction of the nine clans and the destruction of their children and grandchildren, which made them have no choice.

Let's be martyred for the Qing Dynasty, I am finished myself, and my family and grandchildren are also finished, no matter how this deal is calculated, it will be a loss. The four words of loyal ministers and queens sound sad, miserable, and sensational, but how many people in the world can really do these four words?

All the officials who can appear in this government are afraid of death, and those who are really not afraid of death will not come here. What is the purpose of their gathering here, do you need to say?

It's just a night together, a night of worry, but the big guy has no conclusion. This can't be blamed for not daring them to make up their minds, but this Yangzhou City is still in the Qing Dynasty at the moment, and the emperor is here, who dares to move lightly!

The prefect of Yangzhou didn't invite Tanhualang to come over, Ye Tanhua came uninvited, and after coming, he also integrated quickly, and the words actually revealed the meaning of flying separately when the disaster came. Soon, the officials of Yangzhou Mansion did not regard Ye Tanhua as a person in the camp, and some words did not shy away from him. In the end, no one in the big guy had the strength to speak, they drooped their heads one by one, and those who didn't droop their heads stared at Li Qinghe, the prefect of Yangzhou, with only one meaning in their eyes: Someone has to take the lead in this matter.

Li Qinghe had a sad face, he had the courage to surrender, but he didn't have the courage to open the city. He just wants to follow the general trend and join the trend, but he doesn't want to be this bird. If it doesn't work out, he will die first.

Ye Fangwei didn't say anything, he heard the rumor that the Han officials were gathering in Yangzhou Mansion, thinking that there would be generals from the Han army and the Green Battalion, so what do you really want to do, there are people who lead the troops, and there will be a chance to succeed. I don't want to be a bunch of civil officials, Xiucai has not been able to rebel for ten years, what can I do with them. He regretted a little that he shouldn't have come, but in his eyes the emperor's situation, he was afraid that this Qing Dynasty would really not be able to save it.

People don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth are destroyed, and the cold window has been studying hard for more than ten years, is it just to be a Tanhualang of the Doomsday Dynasty?

Although the thief Xiucai is a showman, he started from the army, and there are many bandits and robbers under his subordinates, and he is powerful in fighting the world, and it is definitely not possible to rule the world, and he will have to reuse the literati at that time. It seems that he is not popular in the Qing Dynasty, but I am afraid that the impact of throwing it over is no worse than that of Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang. What's the matter, I also took the initiative to vote, but I responded to the statement that the scholar returned to his heart. If you buy horse bones, the thief Xiucai will not reuse herself, and this person will not come to this day.

When everyone was startling, there was an explosion outside, which frightened everyone. Li Qinghe called his entourage to take a look at the city wall, and reported that the Taiping army did not attack the city, and everyone regained their minds. But as soon as this heart fell into the stomach, there was a big chaos outside, and it sounded like chickens and dogs jumping very much, and this time the souls of all the officials were frightened.

Some officials went out to find out what was going on, and some officials sent their entourage out, and when they were in chaos, Cai Shiying, the governor of Caoyun, came over with seven or eight officials in embarrassment, saying that the emperor had left. When everyone heard this, they were first cold, and then they were all happy.

Li Qinghe coughed dryly and said to everyone: "The emperor has already left, are you also ready to go out of the city, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave if it's too late?" ”

After the words were spoken, no one moved, and Ye Fang's feet seemed to be frozen, and it was impossible to chase the emperor.

"That..."Li Qinghe stole a glance at Cai Shiying.

Cai Shiying snorted slightly, waved his hand and ordered the officials: "Wait for the nearest officer to greet the familiar troop officers, let them all come here, and the governor has important matters to discuss with them." ”

......

Yangzhou City, which was already panicked, was in chaos because of the emperor's escape, and the Taiping army outside the city did not receive the order to attack the city, and they couldn't figure out what was going on in Yangzhou City, so they stayed outside the city and watched the show. It wasn't until after dawn that the Taiping Army's scouts figured out what had happened last night.

After receiving the report that Shunzhi fled north, Zhou Shixiang was also dumbfounded, he wanted to scare Shunzhi back to Beijing, but he didn't expect Shunzhi to abandon the city and flee in the middle of the night. This kind of escape method is really careless. Hearing that an official in Yangzhou led the troops to open the door and surrender, Zhou Shixiang couldn't help but laugh on the horse.

"Take Yangzhou City, ask Ma Harrier to lead people to chase after him, if it's cheap, make it, if it's not cheap, let that kid go back."

Received Zhou Shixiang's handsome order, the king of the horse harrier. The auxiliary minister immediately organized a cavalry team of more than 1,000 people to pursue Shunzhi in the north, and the two white flag generals Wuerte, Gongjian Se, Yue Deji and others also asked for battle one after another, asking to follow the army to pursue Fulin.

Because Cai Shiying, the governor of Caoyun, led a group of Han army green battalions to surrender, Yangzhou City was quickly taken by the Taiping army, and the Qing army in the city almost did not put up any resistance, and more than 5,000 Qing troops were captured.

When the second town entered through the west gate, it was found that there were more than 400 Mongol soldiers sitting behind the city wall. Most of these Mongol soldiers were Mongolian soldiers outside the mouth, and at this time they had lost all their courage, and led their Mongolian officers to beg for their lives in Mandarin Chinese, claiming that they had only been coerced by the Manchus, and that they did not share the hatred with the Han people, saying that they were also bitter masters and victims. However, after finding a large pile of blood-stained goods from their bodies, Tie Yi ordered these Outer Mongolian soldiers to be killed on the spot.

Yangzhou succeeded effortlessly, Zhou Shixiang entered the city with injuries, and when he arrived in the city, a group of officials led by Cai Shiying knelt on the ground. Zhou Shixiang looked up at the city tower, raised his horsewhip, pointed at Cai Shiying and asked, "Yesterday was a blessing sitting on this city?" ”

Cai Shiying said humbly: "Back to the words of the King of Qi, it was the Tartar Fulin who sat on the city yesterday!" ”

"Hehe, I don't want people to be there yesterday, but today they are gone. He also walked fast, and the king didn't even have time to give him a ride. Zhou Shixiang laughed, raised his voice and said to the generals: "Let's enter Yangzhou City!" ”

"King Qi is slow!"

Zhou Shixiang was about to ride his horse into the city, when suddenly a person came out of the crowd, and the blind man Li subconsciously blocked in front of the man.

When Zhou Shi saw that he was a civil official, he asked him, "Who are you?" ”

"Xiaguan Hanlin Academy edited Ye Fangai."

Zhou Shi seemed to have heard this name, thought about it, and laughed: "Oh, it turned out to be Tanhualang... Why did you stop the lonely from entering the city? ”

Ye Fanghui said with a smile: "The Ming Dynasty has recovered Yangzhou City, and the lower officials are dedicated to Ming, seeing the majesty of the prince, he is very impressed, and he is willing to lead the horse into the city for the prince." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Shixiang smiled slightly and said, "So far, the lonely horse has traveled through mountains and rivers, and all kinds of dangerous roads have been walked. Now entering this Yangzhou City, do you still need people to lead the horse alone? ”

Ye Fangwei hurriedly said: "The prince does not need to lead the horse, but the heart of the lower officials to respect the prince is as hot as the scorching sun, if the prince does not allow the lower officials to ride, the lower officials will regret it for life." ”

Zhou Shixiang shook his head slightly on the horse, and the horse whip was a little Ye Fangai: "Then Lao Tan Hualang leads the horse for the lonely, right?" ”
