At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

Chapter 316 Xiaozhuang: The thief has arrived in Beijing!

"Okay!" Chen Jian and other generals cheered: "My lord, this is a wonderful strategy!"

"Our army's elite cavalry marches north and reaches the gates of Beijing. The Manchu imperial court will surely become emboldened and will definitely mobilize Yue Le to go to the north for King Qin!"

"In this way, not only can the siege of Dezhou be solved, but our army will also have the opportunity to defeat Yue Le's 100,000-strong mob on the road!"

Zhang Sheng heard this and sneered: "That's natural, but I don't believe it. I have led my troops to Beijing, but Yue Le will remain unmoved and continue to stay in his bastard shell!"

Everyone continued to discuss, and finally unanimously agreed on the plan to attack Beijing and lure the snake out.

"In this battle, I intend to lead Xiaoqi, Tiger Guard, and Jinyi Guard north, leaving Xiaoqi Town here to monitor the movements of Yue Le's army."

"At the same time, guard the horns with Longxiang Town to prevent Yue Le's army from quickly breaking through Dezhou!" Zhang Sheng said slowly.

Now Dezhou has been surrounded, and the food sent from Qufu and Jinan has been cut off.

Zhang Sheng's cavalry troops could only rely on the grain stored in the army and plundering everywhere.

Therefore, if these 20,000 soldiers and horses go north together, the logistical pressure will be great.

By staying in the Dezhou area, Husband Town can not only reduce the logistical pressure on Zhang Sheng's army, but also cope with Liu Tianxiu in Dezhou City.

In order to prevent Yue Le's army from quickly breaking the city.

As long as Zhang Sheng arrives in Beijing and the Qing army's long snake formation moves, the front army will have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Okay! The general is here to wait for the good news of the Lord. I will not let Yue Le attack Dezhou with all his strength!" Chen Jian said with his hands in hand.

The next day, Zhang Sheng led more than 7,000 soldiers and horses in Xiaoqi Town, plus Tiger Guards and Jinyi Guards, a total of more than 9,000 people quickly went north.

There were more than 7,000 auxiliary soldiers and handymen accompanying him.

Soon, nearly 10,000 elite soldiers were traveling rapidly from the Dezhou area, covering more than fifty miles a day.

Ten days later, the cavalry of the front army had traveled more than 500 miles.

Gu'an and Yongqing counties were captured, and the troops were directed towards Beijing.

Suddenly, Beizhi was in great turmoil, Beijing was in great turmoil, and the Manchu and Qing court were in great turmoil!

"How did Yue Leping pacify the thief! He actually brought the thief to Beijing!"

In the palace, Xiaozhuang shouted hysterically, and everyone became excited.

The Western thieves have already reached Beijing. Of course, this kind of situation has never happened since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs!

Later, when Zeng Guofan arrived in Beijing, Cixi couldn't help but break the defense.

How can Xiaozhuang bear it now?

"The Empress Dowager, Prince An must quickly lead his troops back for reinforcements, otherwise once Beijing is broken, our Qing Dynasty will be really doomed!" A group of Manchu nobles said with mournful faces.

"Yes, yes!" Xiaozhuang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"The troops in the city of Beijing are thin, with only 10,000 old and weak men from the Eight Banners and some green camp troops."

"The main force of Zhang Sheng's Western bandits has arrived in Beijing. How can the old and weak men of our Eight Banners be a match for the fierce Western bandits!"

"Prince An must lead a hundred thousand troops to return for reinforcements, otherwise the capital and the Qing Dynasty will not be protected!"

"The Empress Dowager Shengming, now that our Qing Dynasty is in danger, we must urgently summon troops from all over Zhi, Lu, Shanxi, and Henan to guard the country at night, so that our Qing Dynasty can be protected!" A group of Manchu nobles agreed one after another.

"The Empress Dowager!" At this moment, Ye Bilong suddenly spoke: "Prince An's army surrounded Dezhou, covering more than 200 miles, leaving Zhang Sheng no chance to take advantage of him!"

"This made Zhang Sheng jump over the wall and take the risk to come to the capital."

"If the imperial court orders Prince An to lead troops back for reinforcements, I'm afraid it will play into Zhang Sheng's hands and play his way!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiaozhuang and others suddenly changed their expressions.

"That's right." Suk Saha also said cautiously: "Most of Prince An's troops are infantry. Once they leave the camps and fortifications, they will risk going north."

"On the several hundred miles from Dezhou to Beijing, the elite cavalry of the Western thieves can be everywhere, and our Qing Dynasty's 100,000-strong army is in danger!"

"Although the troops in Beijing are thin, there are hundreds of thousands of Manchus! As long as we, the Qing Dynasty, work together, how can Zhang Sheng win with the millions of people in Beijing!"

"Beijing's city defense is strong, and Zhang Sheng's troops are all cavalry. My slaves assert that he will never be able to break the city!"

"When An's guards capture Dezhou and completely cut off the Western thieves' retreat, Zhang Sheng's cavalry will inevitably become a source of waterlessness and will collapse without a fight!"

For a time, the Manchu nobles began to think.

This principle is such a principle, but they shouldn’t let them take risks!

"Su Dutong, if Beijing makes mistakes, can you bear the responsibility?" A Manchu nobleman said dissatisfied.

"That's right! The Western bandits are sieging the city. It's not a big deal for me to die, but if something happens to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, everything will be unforgivable!"

"So for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, let Prince An come back quickly!" Another Manchu nobleman said.

In the past, the Eight Banners soldiers surrounded Beijing, and Chongzhen summoned the soldiers and horses from all over the world to do their best. During this period, I don’t know how many things happened.

Even if the Eight Banners at that time could not defeat Beijing, so what?

Chongzhen and the civil and military officials in Beijing are the real masters of this country.

There are only slaves who die for their masters in the world, how can there be a master who dies for his slaves!

Even if the Western thieves find it difficult to break Beijing now, what if they do?

They are all doomed!

Although these Manchu nobles all shouted for the Qing Dynasty, in fact the Qing Dynasty was them!

If something unexpected happened to them, why would the Qing Dynasty still need him?

So our Ming Dynasty must be diligent about the king, Cixi must be diligent about the king, and now the Manchu nobles in Beijing must also be diligent about the king!

Later, Zhang Zongyu was in desperate situation and had to send troops to Beijing in order to rescue the friendly forces.

Although they knew it would be difficult for the Nian army to capture Beijing, Cixi and the civil and military officials in Beijing still issued King Qin's order.

Order: "Soldiers from Xiang, Chu, Lu, Yu, Zhi, Anhui, and Jili entered the defense at starry night."

Now even if there is only a glimmer of possibility, the Manchu nobles will nip this possibility in the cradle!

Just like when the rich and powerful fight a war, they don't care whether millions or tens of millions die.

But once the nuclear bomb is released, it will probably kill you and you will not dare to fight.

We, the masters of the Qing Dynasty, could die of countless Han people, countless Green Camps, and even countless low-level bannermen.

But you just can’t die on yourself!

Although it is unlikely that Zhang Sheng will capture Beijing, who can guarantee that nothing will happen?

If the Manchu and Qing aristocrats in Beijing were to die, would the Qing Dynasty still have any meaning?

So King Qin, even if you let the army take risks, you can't let them take risks!

"Okay, the capital is the foundation of our Qing Dynasty. Even if Prince An leads a hundred thousand troops to come back for reinforcements, even if there are risks, it is better than letting Zhang Sheng capture Beijing!"

"My Qing Dynasty has no room for sloppiness."

Xiaozhuang said quickly: "Come here, use the name of the emperor to draft a decree and ask Prince An to lead troops to return for reinforcements. There must be no mistakes!"

This Xiaozhuang is just like Cixi. No one can die on her, and no one can endanger herself.

Although this thief wants to be defeated, he cannot let himself take risks no matter what!

Let Yue Le come back first to keep Beijing safe.

Soon an imperial edict was issued from Beijing. At the same time, Zhang Sheng's forwards reached the gates of Beijing.

"Brothers, give me a blast!" Zhang Sheng ordered in the middle of the night.

Xiaoqi Town launched two red-coated cannons captured on the road, fired directly at Beijing, and bombarded Beijing!

That night, Xiaozhuang and others stayed up all night.

They quickly drove all the Han people in the city to the city for defense. Even the Manchus at the bottom climbed onto the city wall of Beijing with their families.

"Come here, draw up another imperial edict and ask Prince An to quickly come back for help!"

In the palace, Xiaozhuang was frightened and anxious.

Just like Asai Chacha who heard the sound of the collapse of the country.

"The Qing Dynasty is coming to an end!" Su Kesaha and a few other veterans cried quietly as they watched the scene in front of them.

Now the young ministers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are suspicious, and the truly talented and courageous senior ministers are scattered to death.

Even though old men like them still know the pros and cons, what's the use?

Who can suppress the imperial court, who can stop the Empress Dowager!

"God's will, God's will!" Yi Bilong sighed: "If Obai is still in the capital, maybe he can still control the situation."

"But at this time, he is far away in Shaanxi and Gansu. If this No. 1 Batulu is still there, he can resist even the Queen Mother's idea!"

"Yes, as the saying goes, good generals are missed when the country is in trouble. I have been fighting with Obai for so many years, and now I feel that his presence is of great benefit to our Qing Dynasty!" Suk Saha also sighed with emotion.

Obai dared to lead Bagala and Dorgon against Dorgon back then. If this courageous First Batulu had been here, the situation in Beijing would not be like this, and we, the Qing Dynasty, would not be so passive now. .

It's a pity that Ao Bai is still far away in Shaanxi and Gansu at this time, and he is already preparing to fight Wu Sangui.

After a night of shelling, people in Beijing were in panic.

"Come here, let all the men nearby build siege equipment. The acting must be ninety percent real. I don't believe it's already like this. The Manchu and Qing court won't let Yue Le return to help!" Zhang Sheng said happily, holding a telescope. .

"Yes!" All the subordinates accepted the order.

Soon, Zhang Sheng camped for dozens of miles under the city of Beijing, driving countless people to build siege equipment in a mighty manner.

Under Zhang Sheng's urging, another imperial edict was issued from Beijing, urgently summoning King Yue Leqin.

However, Yue Le was in a dilemma under Dezhou City.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court's decree has come again. Let's go back." Jin Li sighed.

"Everyone with a discerning eye knows that Zhang Sheng is trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain and lure the snake into action!"

Yue Le gritted his teeth and said: "Our army has now surrounded Dezhou, and hundreds of red-coat artillery have arrived. We only need to capture Dezhou, and the entire battle situation in Beizhi will be reversed."

"And in Beijing, although the city's troops are thin, there are endless manpower available!"

"How come the Empress Dowager and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty just don't understand!"

"Your Majesty, it's not that the civil and military officials don't understand, it's that the imperial court cannot tolerate any risk."

Dunbai said slowly: "In the past, when I entered the Pass with Emperor Taizong, our Eight Banners soldiers didn't even have red-coated cannons at that time. Emperor Chongzhen also knew that Beijing would be difficult to lose, but even so, he still didn't urge the Ming soldiers and Ming generals as hard as he did. ?”

"The court is still the court after all. If we slaves let our master take risks, we will definitely die!"

"So Prince An, our army should return to support."

"If we come back for reinforcements, our Qing Dynasty will be really doomed!" Yue Le clenched his fists and said: "I know that if I don't return to King Shiqin and let the Empress Dowager and the Emperor stand under a dangerous wall, even if I Even if the army is victorious, I will not be able to escape."

"But the example of the previous Ming Dynasty is right in front of us. Hong Chengchou went to battle and the 130,000 Ming army was defeated by Emperor Taizong."

"Sun Chuanting came out of the pass, and the last Ming Dynasty army in the north was buried at the feet of Li Zicheng."

"And now, Zhang Sheng forces me to return for reinforcements. If I lead these 100,000 troops back north, I will become the second Hong Chengchou and the second Sun Chuanting!"

"In this case, both the left and right are dead, so I might as well keep this army for the Qing Dynasty!"

Yue Le is now the most powerful among the Manchu kings. He uses Cangzhou as his logistics base and has a continuous camp of more than 200 miles.

In the end, Texas was surrounded, which once changed the situation of the war.

But Cangzhou has food, and the fortress he built can ensure that the army of 100,000 will not run out of food.

But facing Zhang Sheng's attack on Beijing, he almost fell into death.

Let's go back to King Qin. Not only can the siege of Dezhou be solved, but Zhang Sheng's cavalry is waiting for him on the way back.

If he doesn't go back to King Qin, even if Yue Le wins the battle, he has bet the entire Qing Dynasty. Even if he wins, he will not end well!

Faced with this conspiracy, Yue Le was extremely hesitant.

However, after referring to the examples of Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, he finally decided to focus on war and wanted to retain this only two large armies for the Qing Dynasty.

"Your Majesty!"

As soon as these words came out, Dunbai, Jin Li and other generals fell to their knees one after another.

They also knew the stakes involved, and Yue Le's move was tantamount to putting themselves on a dead end.

A minister who disobeys an edict, puts the entire court in danger, and gambles with the emperor and the empress dowager is destined to have a bad end.

But Yue Le was so noble and upright, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice his personal honor and disgrace for the sake of the Qing Dynasty. They really admired him to the utmost!

"Everyone, please get up." Yue Le said in a deep voice: "Our Qing Dynasty has millions of soldiers and has been kind to thousands of people. In this crisis, there must be someone who sacrifices his life."

"In the past, the city of Beijing was destroyed, and in the previous Ming Dynasty, dozens of civil and military personnel committed suicide and sacrificed their lives for the country. I, Yue Le, should sacrifice my life for the sake of the Qing Dynasty!"

"Pass my order to attack Dezhou. I will bear the imperial edict with all my strength, so the generals don't have to worry about it!"

"Your Majesty is so righteous!" All the generals expressed their admiration.

Boom boom boom——

When Zhang Sheng bombarded Beijing, Yue Le, who was ready, chose to resist and disobey the decree. He gathered more than 300 red-coated cannons of various types and bombed Dezhou City indiscriminately, vowing to break Dezhou and save the Qing Dynasty. !

"Rebellion, rebellion! Yue Le has rebelled!" Xiaozhuang, who had already issued eleven imperial edicts in a row in Beijing, was furious.

"Draw up a decree in the name of the emperor, capture Yue Le and hold him accountable. The army will be commanded by Dunbai. We must return to aid Beijing! Protect our country and the country of the Qing Dynasty!"

The twelfth imperial edict, together with the twelfth gold medal, was quickly sent to Texas on an 800-mile expedited journey.

At the same time, Zhang Sheng, who couldn't wait any longer, was furious.

"Come here! Send the order to attack Beijing tomorrow!"

"Since Yue Le doesn't come back, I will break Beijing and let all the Tatar civil and military officials go to see the King of Hell!" (End of this chapter)
