Chapter Twenty-Six: Soldiers Descend on the City of Beijing
"Huh?" Gu Yanwu didn't understand, including Xiong Zongheng, didn't Zhang Biwu want to take them to fight the Qing army? Take it now? Where are you going?
Zhang Biwu smiled and said, "Hard work is hard work, but there is no way!" Now the situation is in our favor, the whole game of chess, play as we want! Anyway, the whole army is ready, everyone is waiting for the day, and they can set off when they say they can go! Good! Let's go now! ”
Zhang Biwu said, he jumped on the war horse, and as soon as he said, "Go!" Let's go! My army is ready! ”
Xiong Zongheng smirked innocently, he didn't care about anything, as long as he followed Zhang Biwu to act together.
Gu Yanwu was stunned, he didn't know what Zhang Biwu was planning, where was he going? He also said that a game of chess was all alive! Let him play the rest? What did he want?
However, Gu Yanwu didn't ask much, all he could do was to believe in the lord. He just stood, and then he knew that he wanted to do what Zhang Biwu ordered, and to unite with Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, etc., intending to either enter Qin or Chu, so that the Qing court would be defended everywhere.
Zhang Biwu was riding on a horse, he closed his eyes, and fell asleep. He had not been able to fall asleep on horseback before, but over time, and especially on frequent horse marches, he had become accustomed to it.
Letting the war horse drive on the rugged road, constantly bumping, Zhang Biwu was still very stable.
After walking for a long while, Zhang Biwu opened his eyes and said, "Oh? It's almost dawn? Then we'll have to stop and find a forest to set up camp in! ”
Zhang Biwu gave the order to go down, and the more than 1,000 cavalry who were marching in a hurry all stopped.
Xiong Zongheng and Wu Xun came over. They looked at Zhang Biwu. Then he asked, "My lord." Where do you want us to go? Why do we rest during the day and start to hurry at night? Are you still afraid that others will know the Tao? Are we not going to enter Shaanxi, nor are we going south to Huguang? ”
Zhang Biwu still smiled and said, "Don't ask more!" Depending on the situation, we are almost there! If we don't go out day and night, we can't do it! Well, don't think about it anymore! You're almost there! It won't take more than two nights! ”
Xiong Zongheng and Wu Xun looked at each other, and they didn't say much. Just according to Zhang Biwu's arrangement! It's their duty to obey orders.
At this moment, a person came, whispering to Zhang Biwu constantly, Zhang Biwu kept nodding his head, he looked happy, if it was successful, it would be great! It's just not to be lazy yet.
Xiong Zongheng and Wu Xun felt even more strange, but they couldn't ask more, just obey the order! They had to rest first, and then at night. They followed suit. Now they know that they have arrived in Henan, near the land of Jifu.
At this time, an army appeared, and they immediately prepared for battle. Because those who come do not know whether they are friends or foes.
"Kunio!" With a call, someone appeared, it was Lu Xiangsheng! Zhang Biwu jumped off the horse and said, "Nine Elders! Zhang Biwu and Lu Xiangsheng hugged each other, and the two were very happy.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at Zhang Biwu and said, "You are finally here!" We've been waiting for you for a long time! Zhang Biwu smiled and asked, "I also want to come very soon!" That's right! How's it going? Ready to go? ”
Lu Xiangsheng replied: "Everything is as we expected, just waiting for you to come!" We're going to beat the Tartars out of breath with this punch! ”
Zhang Biwu believed in Lu Xiangsheng and said, "The more than 1,000 cavalry I brought back have to rest!" Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said, "Don't worry! It's all settled! Can't be mistaken! ”
Xiong Zongheng and Wu Xun were at a loss, and Zhang Biwu said to them: "Don't you want to fight? Let me tell you, what we are going to fight now is to fight to the city of Beijing! What kind of ability will it be to fight Azig and Ho Luo! If you want to fight, you will fight Dorgon! ”
Xiong Zongheng and Wu Xun originally complained a lot, but now they are happy, including many cavalrymen, they are dissatisfied with such a rapid march, but listening to Zhang Biwu Shi, they are all holding their breath and are ready to do a big job.
Beijing. When Dolgon received the news that Zhang Xianzhong had sent a small force of men and horses to march to Shaanxi, he couldn't help but get angry, and his fist hit the table with a "bang".
"A thief is a thief! The thief is immortal, towards Qin and Dusk! Zhang Xianzhong, I will definitely destroy you! "Dolgon is very angry, the sudden change in the situation makes him helpless, he wanted to let Duoduo quickly destroy the Hongguang regime, but now it is difficult to do it.
At this time, Duoduo's urgent report: "Shi Kefa and Cao Bianjiao evacuated the people early in the morning, and now they have lost Jinling, and it is meaningless for them to sit in Yangzhou, so they all withdrew from Yangzhou, and Duoduo cannot surround and eliminate Shi Kefa and Cao Bianjiao together." However, Duoduo marched first to break Huang Degong, and did not let Huang Degong and Shi Kefa join Cao Bianjiao. ”
"Originally, Duoduo could have killed Huang Degong, but because of the sudden appearance of Shi Kefa and Cao Bianjiao, they helped Huang Degong, who wanted to kill himself, to find a way out, and their remnants of the army were nowhere to be found. As for the Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong, he was sacrificed by Huang Degong's generals Tian Xiong and Ma Degong. Tian Xiong carried Zhu Yousong on his back, and Ma Degong was behind for fear that this living treasure would fly away, so he hugged Emperor Hongguang's feet. ”
"No matter how Emperor Hongguang pleads, the two of them just ignore it, and the two of them only want to use this live treasure to invite merit and reward, even if you Emperor Hongguang bites Tian Xiong's neck and his clothes are bleeding, it will not help."
Dolgon couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said happily, "Good! Dordor did a great job! As long as the Hongguang puppet regime is captured, the Jiangnan legend can be determined, and the situation will be favorable to my Qing Dynasty! But will Jiangnan really be so easy to get? Alas! ”
Dolgon himself is not sure that if he destroys the Hongguang regime, it will be smooth sailing to pacify Jiangnan.
"Report! Urgent! A feathered rider came quickly, and Dolgon couldn't help glaring at him, and he was immediately frightened, afraid that there would be bad news.
Yu Cavalry reported: "Regent, Fangshan County was defeated by the enemy, and our army's troops in Fangshan County were all defeated by the enemy!" "What!" Dolgon's face jumped, and he said, "Who defeated my Fangshan garrison?" ”
Yu Qi replied: "It's Zhang Biwu's banner." This army is like falling from the sky, our army was taken by surprise and returned defeated! ”
Dolgon couldn't help but be stunned, "Zhang Biwu? Hasn't he already arrived in the Shaanzhou area? How could he suddenly appear in Fangshan County again and break through Fangshan County? Not good! Fangshan is close to Beijing, so that Zhang Biwu can lead the army to show off his might under the city of Beijing! How many men can he lead? ”
Dorgon said, "Tell me the decree that the whole city will be under martial law!" There are also two yellow flags sent to Changping, ready to rush to Beijing's aid at any time! The feather rider put his hands together and said, "Yes!" ”
As soon as the feather rider left, another herald came quickly: "Report! An enemy cavalry has appeared under the city! ”
"What!" Dorgon was startled again, but then he understood, and said, "I understand! This must be Zhang Biwu after breaking through Fangshan County, quickly came to the city of Beijing, even if he can't break through Beijing, as long as his iron hooves step under the city of Beijing, he can give the anti-Qing people a confidence, all he wants is political influence! ”
Dorgon said, "Go!" Follow me to the city! He also ordered all teams to patrol the city of Beijing strictly, and asked the husband to constantly ring the gong to inform him that it would not take long to be defeated! ”
Dolgon knew that the first thing was to stabilize the hearts of the people in the city, as long as the hearts of the people in the city were not disturbed, then Beijing would be absolutely safe.
After Dolgon had taken two steps, he forgot an important one and said, "That's right! I have to tell Da Yu'er that I can't let Da Yu'er worry! ”
Dolgon then turned around and said, "Xiao Shunzi, you hurry up and enter the palace to the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces, but a small group of thieves have come to the city, and I will repel them all!" Please don't worry about the Queen Mother and the Emperor of the Two Palaces! ”
Xiao Shunzi went quickly, and when he went, he bumped into Gonggong Liu sent by the palace, which was sent by the queen mother of the two palaces to inquire about the news, and Xiao Shunzi naturally entered the palace with them to explain.
When Dolgon came to the head of the city, he saw a large scroll fluttering in the wind, on which the words "Zhang of the Ming Dynasty Shaanzhou General Soldier" were written.
"Da Ming! Da Ming! Suddenly there was a shout, apparently the Ming army under the city saw the appearance of Dolgon, they were shouting, and at the same time it was a kind of demonstration!
Dolgon's fist couldn't help but hit the arrow stack with a single punch, and he was angry! Although Beijing is as safe as Mount Tai, but let the Ming army go directly to the city of Beijing, how much political influence will this have! We don't know how the situation in the whole country will change!
And the people in the city saw that the dense forests outside the city were covered with banners, and not only that, but also the dust and fog, which was caused by the walking of the army. People began to talk about each other: "It seems that this time Zhang Biwu wants to come to regain his sight?" He's got a lot of people with him, right? ”
People still miss the Ming Dynasty: "Yes! If Zhang Biwu can regain his sight, it would be great! In the past, we thought that Wu Sangui was regaining his sight and helping the prince to return to Beijing to ascend the throne, but which one understood but let the Tatars ......" changed his words, afraid of causing trouble: "Let the Manchu Qing enter Beijing!" Alas! I hope Zhang Biwu can regain his sight this time! ”
Someone else said, "What a strange! Could it be that Zhang Biwu is like a divine help? Didn't he say that he was still fighting Prince Ying in the Huguang area? Why is it that the centaurs are now just talking? It's like a heavenly soldier descending suddenly! There are troops stationed near Beijing, and he will be here at once! How weird! ”
There are also people who are skeptical: "Zhang Biwu's military strength is not high, and the two yellow flags of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are stationed in Changping, can Zhang Biwu regain his sight?" May I? This question has resonated with many people, so many people are taking a wait-and-see attitude. (To be continued......)
