The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Although Azig is a bit brainless and doesn't deal with him on weekdays, in the final analysis, he is still his biological brother from the same mother.

Of course, this is secondary. The important thing is that Azigenai, one of the deputy commanders of the Qing Dynasty who entered Guanfei this time. The Duoluo County Prince of the Qing Dynasty was trapped in the Guanzhong. There will be no good things for him after he returns. Eat the fruit.

Jilharang on the side was equally surprised by this.

Speaking of which, Nurhachi had sixteen sons. Although six have died so far, none of them died in the war.

The boss Chu Ying was executed by Nurhaci for his crimes.

In ancient times, Laositang died of illness in the fifth year of Chongde.

Lao Wumang Gurtai became depressed and died of a sudden illness in the sixth year of Tiancong (there is a conspiracy theory that Huang Taiji secretly executed him).

Lao Liu Pagoda died of illness four years ago in Chongde.

Lao Shi Dege died of illness in the ninth year of Tiancong (there are also conspiracy theories that he was implicated in the Mang Gurtai case and was secretly executed by Huang Taiji).

Finally, there was Lao Shiliu, who was executed by Huang Taiji for his crimes in the fifth year of Chongde.

Now the twelfth-year-old Azig died in the Guan Civil War, which is the first case of a descendant of Taizu Taizu of the Qing Dynasty dying in battle.

After being shocked, Jilharang immediately thought of another Taizu descendant and asked urgently: "Where is Abataibele?"

The general in question, Niu Lu Zhangjing, shook his head and said: "It was too chaotic at that time. We don't know what happened to Lord Beile. We only know that he seemed to be still alive when the whole army was defeated. As for whether he escaped, we don't know." .”

Hearing this, Jierhalang's heart sank again, and he thought to himself: Don't lose two of Taizu's descendants in the pass this time. It would be too heavy a blow to the hearts and morale of the Qing Dynasty.

Seeing that Dorgon was still stunned, he raised his voice: "Prince Rui, since the King of England has been defeated, we can't delay it any longer. We must leave the capital immediately and withdraw from the pass. If we delay for another half day, we may not be able to leave." Lost!"

Dorgon came back to his senses and was a little frightened by the fighting power of the Yi army in the two battles of Sangyuan Town and Deshengdian. Hearing the words, he kept talking and said: "King Zheng is right, we can't delay. I will do it right now." Order the withdrawal!"

Originally, Dorgon had heard today that Liu Sheng, the founding emperor of Da'an, was in Wuqing with more than 20,000 troops. He had considered whether to make a desperate move and lead the capital's troops to Wuqing to capture and behead the king.

But now he has directly given up this idea.

First of all, there were not too many Qing troops staying in the capital at this time, only about 30,000. Secondly, most of them had had enough, and they were eager to return home. As Jierhalang said, they had no desire to fight. In this way, even if they go to Wuqing, they may not be able to defeat the Yi army led by Liu Sheng himself - besides, this news came out of nowhere and is probably a trap.

After thinking about this, Dorgon and Jierhalang returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of War and issued an order to withdraw their troops.

After receiving the order, the various units of the Qing army immediately withdrew outside the pass skillfully - probably because it was winter and the land in Hebei was already dilapidated, the Qing troops who entered the pass this time did not miss the life inside the pass very much.

In addition, their family members are still outside the customs, and they want to return to Liaodong early to celebrate the New Year.

······

On the 16th day of the twelfth month of the first year of Emperor Qianyuan of Da'ei, the army of Wei returned to Tongzhou.

December 17th, return to the capital!

Liu Sheng led the two Huben and Guard brigades, which were already in Wuqing, not far from the capital. In addition, they did not encounter any fighting along the way, so they rushed to the capital on December 18th.

However, compared to more than two months ago when Li Zicheng led the Shun army into the city, many people happily lined the streets to welcome him; and a month ago when Dorgon led the Qing army into the city, many people were organized to line up the streets to welcome him after being demoted from the Ming Dynasty ( Wait and see); This time Liu Sheng led the Wei army into the capital, and the scene seemed extremely desolate. No common people came to welcome him.

What Liu Sheng faced was not the capital that Li Zicheng and Dorgon faced in the past. Although there were wars, there were still many people in the capital who could glimpse the prosperity of the past. Instead, it was a ruined capital with debris and garbage piled up on the streets and blood stains everywhere. Most of the doors and windows of the houses looked open or broken. Not even a single person could be seen in the streets and alleys. It was as if the entire city had been painted with a layer of gray in the dead capital.

In fact, when Liu Sheng led the guard regiment and two brigades of Tiger Guards into the outer city of the capital from the Yongding Gate in the south and walked on the streets of the outer city, there were still a very small number of people in the capital hiding in the houses and secretly spying.

Yes, they only dared to spy secretly and didn't dare to show their heads to greet them - they were really frightened by the vagaries of the king's flag at the top of the city.

Qian Weide is one of these few people.

His ancestors can be regarded as one of the nobles of the Ming Dynasty. As for whether they are from the Hongwu Dynasty or the Yongle Dynasty, the elders in the family cannot tell clearly.

By the Chongzhen period, his family had declined to the point where he lived in an outer city, his father guarded a small grocery store, and his mother had to do odd jobs for wealthy families in order to maintain the family's expenses. Living in the capital is not easy. His family's expenses are not small, let alone saving money to marry a wife.

A few years ago, his father died of an epidemic, and he could barely support the family grocery store alone.

Last year, when water transportation was cut off and rice prices in the capital soared, his small grocery store could no longer survive. It persisted until this summer, when it was finally forced to sell to a big owner.

With the money from selling the shop and the money saved by his parents to marry him, Qian Weide bought a batch of grain long ago and hid it in the secret cellar at home. He and his mother worked odd jobs for wealthy households to survive.

However, doing odd jobs for big companies is not that easy.

On the one hand, the competition is fierce - there are too many poor families in the capital who want to survive by drinking some of the soup water leaked by the wealthy households.

Secondly, life is not easy for wealthy households these days, so they are particularly stingy with their servants. It is common for them to be late in paying their wages, and most of them are leftovers even if they are in charge of food.

Of course, most of the powerful and wealthy families in the capital still treat their servants generously. Unfortunately, those wealthy families don't even have the qualifications to get close, let alone do things for others.

Qian Weide was educated, but his talent was not good, and the competition in the Shuntian Mansion imperial examination was too fierce. He could not even pass the Tongsheng examination.

But he can barely be considered a scholar.

He used to be the son of a small grocery store owner, and then became a grocery store owner. He could barely maintain the dignity of a person from the capital and a scholar.

Later, he became a helper, just for a living, and it was difficult to maintain even this dignity, so life became extremely difficult.

Later, I heard that the intruders were about to attack the capital, and I heard folk songs or gossip such as "The gates of the city were opened to welcome King Chuang, but when King Chuang came, he refused to pay for food", and "Every king of Chuang is rich", I felt a little uneasy. There is no hope that one day King Chuang will really defeat the capital, giving poor people like him a chance to stand up.

Soon the rebel king Li Zicheng really came, and within two days he defeated the capital and took control of the Forbidden City.

From then on, Li Zicheng was no longer King Chuang among the people in the capital, but Emperor Yongchang who founded Dashun.

Because the capital was captured too quickly by the Shun army and the city was in chaos at the time, Qian Weide only cared about the safety of himself and his mother and did not find a chance to turn around.

But he still hopes that Dashun can bring a new atmosphere to the capital - at least it can bring down the price of rice and other commodities, making life easier for poor people like his.

The results of it?

After becoming the capital of Dashun, the life of these poor people not only did not get better, but got worse. Later, it was even difficult to save their lives and property! (End of chapter)
