Chapter 145
Zhu Cixuan saw that Zhang Liao's 5000 iron cavalry had also charged into Shengjing City, and immediately said to the messengers around him: "Send me the general's order, let the two generals Cao Xing and Cao Bao each lead [-] troops into the city to support."

"Yes, Your Highness." The messenger took the order and left quickly.

Soon, Cao He and Cao Bao led 1 horses into Shengjing.

At the same time, Li Dingguo also broke through the Neizhi Gate. Dou Minwang, Gao Wengui, Wang Xi, and Liu Zhen led an army of [-] troops into Shengjing from the Neizhi Gate to exterminate the Tartars in the city.

The Tartar Palace in Shengjing City, the young emperor Xuanye, the empress dowager Xiaozhuang, the mother empress dowager Borzigit, the virgin empress dowager Tong Jia, and dozens of ministers and Baylor crowded into a large hall. Panic, fear and bewilderment were all intertwined on their faces.

They got the news that Daming's army had already entered the city from Tianyou Gate, Desheng Gate, and Neizhi Gate, and was now attacking the imperial palace. It is estimated that they will come to the imperial city in a short time. Whether to wait for death, or fight a bloody road to break through, depends on the decision of the little emperor Xuan Ye.

Looking at the crowds with different expressions in the hall, the little emperor Xuan Ye understood that he had to make a decision at this time, the outer city was broken, tens of thousands of Ming troops attacked in, Shengjing City could not be defended.

Originally, the war between the Tartars and the Ming Dynasty could continue to win because the Ming Dynasty was too weak.

Decades of natural and man-made disasters had weakened Daming to the point where it was difficult for him to even maintain his own rule, so he allowed the Manchus to plunder him continuously.

But as long as the Han people unified the regime and there was an emperor who was not too stupid, then the Manchu Qing's national power would not be able to defeat Ming Dynasty no matter what.

The population of Daming is a hundred times that of Manchu, and in terms of national power, Manqing can’t even match Daming’s finger. Daming can lose once or ten times, but as long as they are given a little time, they can start all over again. But Manqing, as long as you lose once, it's over.

So Shengjing couldn't stay here anymore, he had to break through immediately, otherwise, after a while, none of them would be able to escape.

Thinking of this, Xuan Ye looked at Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, how smart Xiaozhuang is!She immediately understood what the little emperor Xuan Ye meant.

And around them, almost all the generals of the Qing Dynasty also knew that they had to break through immediately, otherwise, if they continued to stay here, they would be waiting for death.

In Shengjing City, gunshots, cannons, horseshoes, fighting, shouts of soldiers, and screams of women echoed to the sky.

Two quarters of an hour later, a group of Tartars wearing cotton armor rushed out of the palace. Among them, there were more than a dozen carts, the little emperor Xuanye, the empress dowager Xiaozhuang, and the empress dowager Bor Important figures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, such as the Jiji Te family and the Holy Mother Empress Dowager Tong Jia, were all sitting in the carriage, which was surrounded by Tartar cavalry.

Not long after they left the palace, a large number of Ming troops suddenly appeared in front of them, and Ye Bilong, who was riding in front of the team, suddenly changed his face. He knew that he had to defeat the Ming troops blocking the way in front of him, and fight his way out. , So he drew out his scimitar and shouted loudly: "Warriors of Changshengtian, life and death depend on one action, go!"

As he charged forward on horseback, he shouted loudly: "Boys, charge, we will survive as long as we charge past!"

It was thousands of Mauser riflemen led by Gao Shun who blocked the way of the Tartars. Seeing the mighty Tartar cavalry rushing forward, Gao Shun sneered and shouted: "Since you are rushing to die, I, Gao Shun, Get them done today. Line up and shoot."

The dark Ming army immediately stopped, picked up the rifle in his hand, and pulled the trigger.

"bang bang bang"

A burst of gunfire rang out, and the hundreds of Manchu and Qing Tartar cavalry rushing to the front were immediately shot and fell off their horses, but the Tartar cavalry behind were not afraid of casualties at this time, they beat their horses desperately, and rushed forward desperately .

"bang bang bang"

"bang bang bang"

What greeted them was continuous gunfire, and the soldiers and horses of the Ming army and the Tartars fought to the death.

As time went by, more and more Ming troops surrounded them.

Soon, Zhang Liao led a brigade of cavalry to rush over, and Li Dingguo also defeated the Tartars at Fujinmen and Neizhimen, and sent troops to seize Huaiyuanmen, Wailangmen, Fushengmen and Dizaimen.

Here, thousands of Mauser riflemen led by Gao Shun blocked the way of the Tartars, which made them lose their last chance to break through.

After nearly an hour of fighting and besieging, except for a very few Tartars who escaped by chance, most of the Tartars died in the city.

Suo Ni and E Bilong were killed in battle, and the young emperor Xuanye, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, the Empress Dowager Borzigit, and the Empress Dowager Tong Jia were captured.

"Report, the Tartars in the city have been cleared out, and the emperor of the Tartars was captured alive by General Gao Shun." A horse galloped up to Zhu Cixuan and reported loudly.

"Okay, pass on my general's order, all captured Tartars of the Eight Banners will be beheaded. The Tartars of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty will be taken into custody first." Zhu Cixuan was overjoyed when he heard the words.

"Decree." The soldier of the Ming army who reported the letter clasped his fists and saluted, then mounted his horse and returned to the city.

Zhu Cixuan said to Cai Jiuyi beside him, "Let's go, let's go into the city."

In a side hall of the Shengjing Imperial Palace, Zhu Cixuan looked at Hu Shi'an and Jiang Yuanheng and said, "Now that Shengjing has been captured by us, how can we completely consolidate Liaodong and prevent these barbarians from having another chance to come back? What can you do?"

Hu Shi'an and Jiang Yuanheng looked at each other, Hu Shi'an kowtowed, and said: "Your Highness, I believe that one can immigrate from the pass to enrich the population of Liaodong cities, and the other is to implement the law of entrapment and strictly control the barbarians. It's a two-pronged approach."

Zhu Cixuan glanced at him, then looked at Jiang Yuanheng calmly, and said, "Master Jiang, what do you think?"

Jiang Yuanheng thought for a while, and said: "Your Highness, I believe that we need to pay close attention to building roads. As long as the official roads extend in all directions, our Daming army can suppress the rebellion in time, and we will not give them a big chance."

Zhu Cixuan shook his head, turned to Li Dingguo and said, "Prince Jin, although the methods they mentioned are good, they are not fundamental methods.

I plan to make them change their clothes, change their names, and integrate them into my Ming Dynasty, and rebuild Nuer Gandusi and 384 guards.These guards range from a hundred to as many as a thousand, and all of them are guarded by our Ming army, unlike in the past, they were guarded by local people.

The soldiers of these town guards can each marry a woman from the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty as a wife, and take a woman from the Eight Banners as a concubine.All the leaders and able-bodied Tartars from all over the place were all beheaded, and their former Han slaves divided the land, cattle and sheep of these Tartars, and let them marry the wives and daughters of these Tartars. What do you think? "

Li Dingguo laughed and said, "His Royal Highness, this method is very wonderful."
