Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

Cao Yichong, the general commander of the Shence Army [Liba Mountain], and the Shence Army of the other eleven regiments arrived in Gu'an on August [-]. At this time, they did not know that the Qing army under Yinti had been destroyed. Even for some reason, he didn't know that the Yinzhen and Yinti groups had been destroyed three days ago, but out of some kind of self-consciousness, he decided that the war on the southern front was coming to an end, and if he wanted to make contributions, he could only continue northward and reach Beijing first. under the city.

Although Tao Yue thought Cao Yichong's idea of ​​taking Beijing with more than 8000 Shence Army plus more than 2000 Xuanwu Army Sixth Division troops who arrived in Beijing's outskirts earlier, Tao Yue thought it was a bit ridiculous, but it was inconvenient to persuade him, after all, everyone has a right The desire for fame, why do you prevent others from making meritorious deeds after you have made great achievements?Regardless of whether they can be dissuaded or not, it will be a lifetime of hatred. In this case, if it is confirmed that the overall situation will not be reversed, let them toss about it. Anyway, it will not hurt to put more pressure on the Qing court in Beijing.

It was precisely out of such considerations that Tao Yue not only agreed to the proposal of Cao Yichong and others, but also agreed to hand over all the captured Mongolian soldiers to the Shence Army, except for the most noble prince Taiji, and escort them to the city of Beijing. Whether the army will use the Mongolian soldiers as ants or has other plans, he will not ask at all.

Moreover, since there was no need to guard the captured Mongolian soldiers, the remaining strength of the Xuanwu Army's Sixth Division was also liberated. Therefore, in addition to leaving the necessary nursing and medical personnel, Tao Yue bluffed all the way to Tianjin. Perhaps in his opinion, It is much more realistic to seize Tianjin with the existing 2000 people than to capture Beijing.

For Tao Yue not going to Beijing with him, although Cao Yichong and the regiment chiefs were somewhat regretful, they were not necessarily unlucky. After all, Tao Yue was a serious senior officer of the Eastern Route Army, and had a certain command power over the Shence Army, which belonged to the current management. The first category is not comparable to He Shuzhi, who has a high position and authority but is separated by several floors. If he insists on commanding the Shence Army, they can only obey.

Now Tao Yue is not going to Beijing, but to Tianjin, just because of Gu Jie outside Beijing, hehe, although the authority of the First Division Army Sima is much higher than that of the Regiment Qian, but that is only for the division's interior, As for other allies, Cao Yichong and the others can listen to the announcement just as they did against He Shuzhi.

On August [-], the Shence Army crossed the Yongding River and immediately approached Daxing County, Shuntian Prefecture.At noon, a military report was sent from the rear, announcing the destruction of Yinti, Yinzhen and Yinti's ministries.The Japanese soldiers of each regiment were even more excited than the officers and soldiers of the Xia Army, obviously feeling that they were following the right person.

Inspired by this news, the twelve regiments of the Shence Army arrived at Daxing County at the beginning of the Shen Dynasty.Seven days ago, the headquarters of the Sixth Division of the Xuanwu Army did not stop to attack Daxing County and the nearby Nanhongmen Palace because they were anxious to threaten Beijing.However, Daxing County still changed the Dawang Banner because of this. No, a flag of Daxia Zhili recruiting Li was fluttering high, which made the Japanese soldiers who had mastered a lot of Chinese characters wonder what it meant, and there was a lot of discussion.

"Where are the fake officials?" Cao Yichong and others were not planning to attack the city, but after seeing the flag, everyone changed their minds. "Dare to fabricate the official system of this dynasty without authorization, it is an unforgivable crime, come on, surround Daxing."

The Shence Army is a mercenary force, originally used to deal with the natives of Nanyang, so it is not equipped with cannons, only some firecrackers, so it can't give Daxing City a warning. The county seat was surrounded, and the tightly closed city gates were suddenly opened.An official wearing a red robe with long feet on his head, led a group of people in the city to kneel on the censer and incense table to greet the soldiers of the Shence Army facing him.

Cao Yichong and a group of regiment chiefs watched all this dumbfounded, and then ordered to a team leader in front of them: "You, go and see what tricks these people are playing."

After the military order was issued, the team leader led dozens of Japanese soldiers towards the gate of the city.Speaking of it, the team leader is the last position in the Shence Army held by officers and soldiers of the Xia Army. The lower deputy team leader, squad leader, deputy squad leader, and the upper assistant coach are all reserved for Japanese soldiers as promotion steps .

I saw the leader of the team swaggeringly approaching, as if he had observed something secretly, the official in Han suit who had been bowing his head declared loudly: "The lower officials Daxia Zhili all invite Li Boming to kneel down to meet the imperial army. "

The voices of the gentry and ordinary people nearby also rang out: "Daxing Shunmin kneels to welcome the heavenly army of the imperial court."

Someone else yelled: "The imperial court relieves the people and hangs them upside down. The people of Daxing are lucky, and the people of the world are lucky!"

Someone even pretended to wipe tears from the sidelines and cried: "Master Wang sweeps north, clarifies the universe, and eliminates the evil atmosphere of a hundred years. I will wait for the people in the north to see the majesty of the Han officials again, and die in peace."

"Stop! Stop it for me!" The team leader shouted, but no one could understand his Jiangxi accent, but he was completely frightened by his utterance. "Raise your head up and say, why is Zhili recruiting?"

Perhaps because of the sound of the Japanese soldiers drawing their swords, the official in the costume he found somewhere hurriedly raised his head, and timidly asked the leader, "My lord, what did you just say?"

The leader of the team was angry, but had no choice but to patiently ask in the official dialect of Nan Zhili determined by the Huaxia government: "You are recruited even by this Zhili, who asked you to set up an official position and pretend to be an official of this dynasty?" Yes, it’s still tmd Daxia, you don’t know that the Holy One has a decree, you are not allowed to call this dynasty Daxia, you are only allowed to call it Huaxia!”

"This, this." The official rolled his eyes and answered after a long time. "It's my negligence, but I and the people of Daxing have indeed surrendered to the imperial court. They are loyal and loyal!"

"Bullshit, whose official are you?" The team leader drew a knife and rested it on the official's neck. "Believe it or not, I will kill you now."

"My lord, please speak up if you have something to say." The gentry next to him was startled, not because he was worried that the official would be shot and killed by the team leader on the spot, but because he was afraid that the Xia army would massacre the city, so he hurriedly hugged the team leader's arms. Legs begged. "My lord, listen to our explanation."

"Say!" The team leader scolded furiously. "Let's be honest"

"So, seeing that the Qing court is about to fall, a few greedy people killed the county magistrate and subordinate officials, claiming to be officials of the dynasty." Cao Yichong listened to the leader's report dumbfounded, and then asked his peers . "My lords, don't just have fun, tell me, how to deal with this matter?"

Cen Gang, the head of the [Langjuxu] regiment, said in a vicious voice: "These people were the Tartars who surrendered like this back then. them."

"Brother Kuangxi, don't take out the set in Beiboni, after all, they are all Han people." The group leader of the [Poloulan] regiment, Ying Shixiong, said disapprovingly. "A group of jumping clowns have nothing to do with them. They detain a few fake officials first. Whether it's a punishment or a reward, we'll talk about it later when we get in touch. As for Daxing County, we were not allowed to enter. Let the gentry in the county maintain it by themselves first." In a few days, when the imperial court sends people to receive them, someone will take care of them."

Mr. Ying Qian’s suggestion was approved by everyone, so several fake officials and officials were arrested from the crowd, and the so-called rebel army was also disbanded. As all of this, they brought the live pigs, live sheep and some rice noodles served by the Daxing gentry, The Shence Army continued to prepare to go north.

It was only after he had gone far that the soldiers guarding the puppet officials came to report that the puppet officials had reported important military affairs.

What a major military situation, nonsense, the regiment chiefs didn't believe it, but Wu Yuankui, the regiment chief of the [Jicanghai] regiment, was more careful and sent a Sima to interrogate, but got a shocking news.

"You mean, there is an elder brother of the Tartars hiding in the Nanhongmen Palace? Impossible!" [Fourteen States] Tuantuan Qianzong Yu Keding categorically denied it. "How could my elder brother stay in Tuancheng and wait to die? I should have fled to the outside of the customs early in the morning. This guy is full of nonsense. Why doesn't he say that Kangxi is in the Nanhongmen Palace?"

[Hu Renren] Li Yu, the chief executive of the regiment, said, somewhat unable to get it: "I'm not afraid of [-], just in case."

"What ten thousand, just in case, according to me, this guy is plotting against us." Yu Keding sneered. "How many palaces are there in the Nanhongmen Palace, how many rare treasures are there, how many palace ladies and eunuchs are there, and we are all Japanese soldiers. After entering, you can control it? Don't talk about burning the palace, it is rape and humiliation. Let the court lady take some gold, silver, pearls and jade, and let the higher-ups know, can we have good fruit to eat? Maybe because of this, I will have to take off the clothes."

Everyone was terrified, yes, although the Qing court was a foreign race that wanted to be overthrown, but the palace and the like involved the majesty of the royal family after all, and it had to be taken over by the imperial guards. If you ordinary military officer rushed in, even if you didn’t do anything , It's all yellow mud falling in the crotch, it's either shit or shit, not to mention that the troops you lead are alien soldiers, that's not courting death or anything.

"There is no need to talk about the Nanhongmen Palace." Cao Yichong ordered in the name of the most senior member of the group. "Go directly to You'anmen and join the Sixth Division of the Xuanwu Army. If you can win the city of Beijing in one fell swoop, it will be a greater contribution than catching a big brother."

"That's right, we won't be rewarded by the princes, but at least we'll leave a prince for our descendants, go to Beijing, go directly to You'anmen."

Everyone else agreed with Cao Yichong's decision, but Wu Yuankui made a better suggestion: "I heard from Tao Tongzhi earlier that the Qing prisoners have traveled a lot from Beicheng to the outside of the pass in the past few days. Why don't we go to You'anmen overnight? Dongzhimen, give the Tartars a hard time tomorrow morning, maybe you can take advantage of the trend and seize the city."
