Chapter 158 Soldiers besiege the capital

Zhang Biwu's move to increase military stoves was to let the people in the city know, and to make people shoot out cloth and tell him that as long as he surrendered, he would be fined, even if the situation was the same when he conquered Hangzhou before!

Many arrows tied with cloth poured into the capital. Yue Le shouted, and ordered the whole city to hand over immediately if they could pick up the arrows that were shot, and they were not allowed to be opened. If it was too late, all military law would be dealt with! Those who dared to hide would be killed and the three clans would be destroyed!

Yue Le and Ebilong have added many people to patrol the city, preventing people from picking it up and not handing over it.

Under such strict orders, who dares to do whatever he wants? Many people will hand over immediately when they pick it up, but it is hard to guarantee that there will be fish that will leak the net! Some people picked it up and didn't hand over it, but burned it.

The content recorded in the cloth shot by Zhang Biwu is still known to everyone through verbal communication. They just hide the cloth secretly and do not send it.

Zhang Biwu was very patient. He was waiting for a good opportunity. He looked at the soldiers and civilians who were defending the city, and he was even more happy.

At this time, Hou Qifei reported that Lu Xiangsheng had already arrived. Zhang Biwu was even more happy. Lu Xiangsheng brought 70,000 troops, and now there are 240,000 troops stationed under the city of Beijing. Adding Lu Xiangsheng's 70,000 people, it will reach 300,000.

Judging from the appearance, there are only 20,000 defenders in Beijing, so it is not difficult to capture them! Even so, Zhang Biwu has to slow down. It is naturally the best to be able to defeat others without fighting. The people in the city must be extremely anxious.

Zhang Biwu then asked Hou Qifei to report Lu Xiangsheng, and asked Lu Xiangsheng to conscript nearby residents to act as his army to drive to the capital, saying that Lu Xiangsheng had led 200,000 people.

Under the city, Zhang Biwu had already falsely claimed that he had 500,000 people, and combined with 700,000 people. Although the people in the city did not believe that Zhang Biwu would have such a huge force, if they weakened, they would also think that Zhang Biwu had at least 400,000 people. How could the residents in the city not be afraid? They would speed up the steps.

According to the agreement, Lu Xiangsheng came, and the defenders on the city climbed to the top of the city. They looked far away and were covered by smoke and dust, and clouds seemed to fill the entire world!

The sound of footsteps shook the world, and the entire capital was shocked in its footsteps.

Suddenly, flags covered the sky, and spears and halberds also covered the sky. The sun seemed to be busy pouring its light on the blade. It was already in a flawless way and shining onto the capital.

Everyone in the defenders in the capital were in extreme shock. One or two of them opened their mouths wide and opened their mouths very much. Even if they put a steamed bun in their mouths, they could put it in.

The people on the city were whispering. Someone saw that no one around said to his best friend in a low voice: "Zhang Jun is said to have 700,000 people! They came to surround the lonely city, and the emperor and his father, the regent, have left. The main force and elite troops have all left the capital, so how can we defend to the death? We were originally the survivors of the Ming Dynasty..."

As soon as this was said, his companion immediately signaled him to stop talking and could not continue, so as not to have any misfortune.

The Ming Dynasty's remnants just looked at each other. They had reached an agreement through their eyes. They were about to find a good opportunity to welcome Zhang Jun into the city.

Not only the remnants of the Ming Dynasty had this idea, but even Manchus did not want to be scapegoats. They were also talking about whether they wanted to surrender. Anyway, Zhang Biwu would not kill them. As long as he surrendered and saved his life was the best thing.

However, there are still few Manchus who have a rebellious heart. Most of the Manchus have left with Dorgon and Shunzhi. What is left is that they cannot give up their wealth and land in the capital. They must be wealth-guarding slaves even if they die.

Of course, some are also Baoyun slaves. If the master doesn't leave, they have to stay, and they are unwilling to do so.

Most of the Manchus in the defenders were outlaws, and they didn't want to live if they stayed. They were ordered to die heroically even if they died. Zhang Biwu would never be despised by them! They were absolutely loyal.

As for Yue Le and Ebilong, they saw the changes in their faces. Why didn’t Yue Le and Ebilong know? But they can’t use excessive means, otherwise the situation will be even more difficult to deal with if they arouse changes in everyone.

Zhang Biwu looked at everything with a telescope. After seeing this, he couldn't help but smile and nodded. He knew that the peach was getting ripe. If he waited for a while, the peach would be ripe and he could pick it off at that time.

Zhang Biwu handed to Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan beside him and said, "Look at it! Look at the performance of the people in the city! Look at their expressions! Haha! As soon as I saw this, I was excited and happy! The capital city was already under my control!"

Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan followed Zhang Biwu's words, they looked over, right? The defenders on the city were all worried, so why did they seem to be crying and unable to bear it?

Especially the confusion and helplessness on their faces, which makes people see that they are unintentional in defense. Without a firm defensive heart, if they face a strong enemy, they will only be defeated!

Zhang Biwu said, "Okay! Let's wait a little longer! Wait for the people in the city to stand it! Let's attack again! Keep declaring our army's mighty power to them! They will increase their fears day by day! And it has to be said that we will not hesitate to besiege Kaifeng like Li Zicheng, but they cannot flood the city like the Yellow River floods Kaifeng City! When the flooding of Kaifeng was made, most of the people in Kaifeng were buried in the belly of fish. I believe that the people in the capital did not want to suffer the tragedy of the people of Kaifeng!"

Zheng Chenggong smiled and said, "The King of Qi is such a wonderful plan! He is forcing people in the capital to cooperate with us quickly! It will be easy to break the city!"

Zhang Biwu naturally thought so. He nodded, and at this time, Lu Xiangsheng and Li Guo and others came in.

When they arrived, Zhang Biwu stepped forward and said, "Nine Olds! King Jin, Marquis of Xingguo, you are here! I am looking forward to you! I am eagerly looking forward to you!"

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said, "King of Qi, we have seen the defenders on the city have been shaken! It will not be difficult to destroy this city if we need to! If we don't move, the people in the city will take the initiative to contact us! I hope we can move to save them!"

Li Yan also spoke out and said, "Yes! I think so too! I guess the plan to break the capital city has been planned, right?"

Zhang Biwu laughed and said, "Yes! I just want to wait for a good time to break the capital! The capital is already in my hands!"

Li Yan, Lu Xiangsheng, Li Dingguo and others all nodded, and they were full of expectations. Although Li Yan and Li Guo and others were sieging the capital for the second time and were about to break the capital, and after years of hard work, they finally drove the Tartars out of the pass, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty was restored again! How could they not be excited or unhappy?

But Zhang Biwu still explained: "No one of you can rest first! I will go with you to worship Chongzhen's imperial tombs! To prove that we are loyal to the Ming Dynasty! Of course, the twelve tombs of the Ming Dynasty also need to be sacrificed! Let the people in the city know how loyal we are to the Ming Dynasty, so that they also understand that they were originally the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, and as long as they rectify the troubles, they can be forgiven!"

Lu Xiangsheng and others smiled again. Zhang Biwu wanted to further disrupt the hearts of the military and civilians in the city and inspire them to act quickly!

At this time, Yao Dongzhao also spoke out: "Please, please let me go together! I, I want to..." Yao Dongzhao remembered the situation when he went to Chang'an Gate to ask for help from the saint, as if it was yesterday! Although he was not received by Chongzhen in the end.

How could he say that he is the king and the people. He was an official of the Ming Dynasty when he was young! He really wanted to worship him. If he didn't worship him again, he would have no chance in his lifetime.

Yao Dongzhao begged, but he couldn't scream loudly, so he could only lie down squeakingly to explain.

When Zhang Biwu looked at him and saw his stubborn expression, he understood that he could not go against Yao Dongzhao! Moreover, with Yao Dongzhao's situation, it is an unknown how long he can live!

Lu Xiangsheng was also asking for Yao Dongzhao that Zhang Biwu had to let Yao Dongzhao go no matter what.

Of course, when attacking the capital, Yao Dongzhao also wanted to lie down and not leave here, to see how their capitals were recovered. The reason why Yao Dongzhao had not yet swallowed his last breath was that he wanted to see the capital regain! When he saw the capital regaining, it was when he died! He could leave without regrets.

Zhang Biwu no longer refused Yao Dongzhao for this, so he asked someone to carry Yao Dongzhao and go with him.

Zhang Biwu led the three armies to worship the Twelve Tombs of Emperor Ming and Chongzhen in front of the whole city of soldiers and civilians.

Like this, the hearts of the people in the city have been shaken and collapsed! They are all discussing privately, talking about the news that Zhang Biwu worshiped the Twelve Tombs of Changping and Chongzhen. The most important thing is naturally that Zhang Biwu said that all the residents of the Ming Dynasty were the people of our dynasty and would not harm this matter.

This is a pill of reassurance that can make the people in the capital turn to Zhang Biwu! It means that the dynasty has been in the country for more than two hundred years, and it still has a certain foundation in the hearts of the people. Even Jiangnan and other places miss the Ming Dynasty, repeatedly fighting against the Qing Dynasty, and helping the Qing Dynasty defeat Li Zicheng and others, not to mention the strong foundation of the capital.

Yue Le and Ebilong had already learned about the people's favor in the capital, but they were not panicked at all. In their minds, as long as the city could be protected for one more day, it would be a day, and there was no need to pay much attention to the rest. Besides, these things were expected and there was nothing to say!
