I will be the prince at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 138 Recovering the Capital
However, after thinking about it, Zhu Cixuan was relieved. After all, Emperor Kangxi is still a kid now. Oboi's [-] army was defeated in Daming Mansion, and Daming Mansion can arrive in Yanjing in three days.

It means that his own army has already approached Yanjing. After Oboi fled back, the palace of the Tartars would probably be in chaos, but I don't know if Xiao Kangxi would pee his pants in fright.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." Chen Gong looked at Zhu Cixuan who was wandering in the sky and shouted.

"Oh, oh." Zhu Cixuan came back to his senses and said: "The little emperor of the Tartars has run away with his tail between his legs. There must be a general guarding the city of Yanjing. Although victory is at hand, we can't be careless. Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cai Jiuyi, Cao Xing, you all go back to rectify your troops, prepare food and grass at Gongtai, and tomorrow the army will leave the city and go to Yanjing."

Here, just as Zhang Liao and Chen Gong left, Zhang Huangyan rushed over excitedly and said, "His Royal Highness, the Emperor Tartar left Yanjing City and fled outside the pass."

Zhu Cixuan said with a smile: "Master Zhang, I have received the news."

"Then when will His Highness send troops to recover the capital?" Zhang Huang asked.

Zhu Cixuan smiled and said: "Zhang Shangshu, you arrange the government affairs of the Daming Mansion well, and follow me to Yanjing tomorrow at Sishi to recover the capital."

Zhang Huangyan's eyes lit up, he nodded hurriedly, and said, "Okay, I'll go right away." After speaking, he left with a blushing face.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month in the 18th year of the Yongli calendar, at three o'clock in the morning, Zhu Cixuan, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, led an army of [-] men and marched towards Yanjing.

This marks the most critical moment in the Ming Dynasty's campaign to expel the Tartars and recover the rivers and mountains. As long as the capital Yanjing is recovered, it means that the Tartars who have enslaved the Ming people for decades have gone down, and the Ming people have regained control of this beautiful and rich land. hot land.

The [-] army, together with the food and grass accompanying the army, stretched for seven or eight miles.

The people of the Daming Mansion sent out of the city to see each other off one after another, cars rumbled, horses were Xiaoxiao, and pedestrians had bows and arrows at their waists.

Zhu Cixuan is 185cm taller than ordinary soldiers. He is riding his beloved Dawan horse, wearing a black Mingguang armor, an eagle-prismatic helmet on his head, a Mauser 98k rifle on his back, and an embroidered sword on his left waist. Spring knife, across the horse and horizontal knife, majestic and majestic.

In addition, surrounded by three women, Qingchan, Qingyu, and Wang Yuyan, who are dressed in special leather armor, wear M1911A1 pistols on their waists, carry swords, and ride on tall horses.

The three women have made great progress in martial arts over the past few years. Even Cai Jiuyi, who is highly skilled in martial arts, admitted frankly that they are not the opponents of the three women.

Especially in the more than a month since the expedition, after Zhu Cixuan's hard work every day, all of them are bulging forward and backward, with a radiant complexion, showing a variety of styles.

It is different from Zhu Cixuan's army that is bold and arrogant.

The little Tartar Emperor Kangxi looked at the Great Wall covered in white snow, and wept sadly. He knew that if he left, he might never go back to that magnificent imperial palace or sit on that lofty dragon in his life. chair.

Suddenly, he felt a chill on his face. It turned out that snowflakes were floating in the sky.

The [-] Banners cavalry braved the wind and snow and stretched northward. They all shrunk their heads, their eyes were empty, and their expressions were numb, allowing the horses under their crotches to walk slowly and listlessly.

The 20 years of luxurious life in Yanjing has already worn away their fighting spirit, and they are no longer the majestic Eight Banners who used to be majestic, able to draw hard bows, drink strong alcohol, and gallop on the bodies of delicate-skinned women of Ming Dynasty every day. The warrior, but his spine was broken, he fled in panic, and the remnants of the defeated general were in constant panic.

The snow fell more and more, and the cold wind mixed with snowflakes made them unable to open their eyes. They walked forward silently, dejectedly, to the former white mountains and black waters.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" echoed in the wind and snow, one after another, [-] Tartars began to camp at the foot of a mountain, and the open wilderness began to make noise.

Tents were densely erected one after another, stretching for five or six miles, at least a thousand. Tartar soldiers got into the warm tents one after another. into a large iron pot filled with water.

Soon, the aroma filled the entire camp. The extremely hungry Tartar soldiers, not one of them hated the bubbling boiling water, stretched out their black paws to pick up a large piece of mutton from the pot, and devoured it.

From time to time, they cursed the ghost weather, cursed the Ming army who had suffered thousands of knives, and attacked Yanjing when it was freezing. They hurriedly put on their armor, rode their horses, and fled the flowery Yanjing city in a panic.

As the Tartar emperor hunted Shengjing in the north, the prefects of Shunde, Zhending, Hejian and other places who got the news immediately changed their flags and flags, burned the flags of the Tartars, and replaced them with the flags of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Cixuan's army traveled unimpeded all the way. Everywhere they went, officials and people in the city lined up to welcome them. As a result, it took six days for the army led by Zhu Cixuan to reach Yanjing City.

"Ding dong, trigger the mission to recover Yanjing, the former capital of the Ming Dynasty, and reward the consumption of 10000 gold coins for a lucky draw once."

100 cannons are aiming at the Yongding Gate of Yanjing to start shelling. "Boom boom boom" shells hit the top of the city. The violent explosion contains the power to destroy everything. Any life will be twisted into pieces and completely destroyed. Destroy all life.

Even though the Tartar soldiers guarding the city were wearing thick cotton armor, they were still torn to pieces under the wave of destruction formed by the intensive shell explosions, and their limbs and arms flew across.

Boom boom boom!
With a series of dense explosions like firecrackers, countless tartars were completely torn apart, pieces of flesh and blood flew out.

The Tartars, whose morale was low, showed horror and fear on their faces. No matter how the generals around them beat and scolded them, they couldn't stop them from fleeing for their lives. They ran down the city one by one.

Some green battalion generals who knew that the Tartars were gone, at this time also had other thoughts, and joined forces in private. Not long after the rumbling sound of the Yongding Gate, the green battalion soldiers in the city turned against each other under the leadership of their respective generals. He raised his sword and gun and killed the few Eight Banners Tartars.

Originally there were more than [-] cavalry from the Eight Banners in Yanjing City, Daming Mansion lost [-] in the first battle, and the little emperor Beishou took away [-] of the most elite cavalry from the Eight Banners. The emperor had already fled, and they were cannon fodder. Their function was to hold back the Ming army and prevent the Ming army from catching up with the emperor who had fled north.

Therefore, the morale of the [-] Tartar soldiers is completely lost. In addition, Yanjing has nine gates in the inner city, seven gates in the outer city, and four gates in the imperial city, making a total of twenty gates. Guarding, so assigned to each city gate, there are not many Tazi soldiers full of Eight Banners.

Among them, Zhu Cixuan's army attacked Yongdingmen with only about a thousand Tazi soldiers full of eight banners. One shell killed and injured three or four hundred people, and the remaining six or seven hundred ran down the tower.

They bumped into the rebellious green camp soldiers head-on, why are the green camp soldiers not on the tower? Because the Tartars are afraid that when the green camp soldiers defend the city, they will rebel and let the Ming army enter the city.

As a result, the Green Battalion soldiers, who were all Ming people, turned against the water. More than 600 Eight Banners Tartars were besieged by [-] Green Battalion soldiers.

The Green Battalion cheered and opened Yongding Gate, and Zhang Liao commanded a [-]-strong army to march into Yongding Gate.

The battles at the other city gates also ended quickly. Some of the Eight Banners Tartars were killed, some fled back to the city, and some opened the gates.Escape from Yanjing City.

At Shenshi in the afternoon, Zhu Cixuan was welcomed into Yanjing City by Minister Wei Zhou Zuo of the Ministry of Punishment, Li Wei, Minister of Industry, Hu Shi'an, Minister of War, Jiang Hede, Minister of Rites, Cheng Kegong, Minister of Household, and Jin Zhijun, Minister of Ministry of Civil Affairs.

At the same time, it sounded in my mind: "Ding, congratulations to the customer for completing the task of recovering Yanjing City, reward consumption of 10000 gold coins for one lucky draw."
