Chapter 1 Entering the Capital
Zhang Biwu led his army into the capital. Although the 20,000 Eight Banners soldiers fought back and the Eight Banners soldiers fought bravely, you should know that the strong ones have their own strength, and the Eight Banners soldiers are no match for the Zhang army soldiers. In the conversation between the strong and powerful, the Zhang army soldiers won.
Zhang Jun also attacked the Forbidden City. Yue Le climbed up to the roof and waved the Qing Dynasty dragon flag. With a shot, the house was blown up and he fell down and was smashed to death.
As for Ebilong, he drank poison, so he lay down on the magistrate chair. He looked at the soldiers surrounding him. He was sneering, but his eyes were still looking towards Liaodong.
Ebilong and Yue Le's voices all hope that Dorgon can help Shunzhi and realize their dream of entering the Central Plains.
The soldiers following Ebilong just shouted: "Long live the Qing Dynasty! Long live the Emperor Shunzhi!" Then they all committed suicide and wiped their necks. With Ebilong as the core, the bodies were piled up in circles.
Zhang Biwu was waiting anxiously outside for the news. He wanted to know what the situation is now, and whether it was really broken? It's really annoying!
Yao Dongzhao seemed to be unable to hold on anymore, and it seemed very uncomfortable. Zhang Biwu just kept saying to Yao Dongzhao, encouraging him to let him survive and see the moment he occupied the Forbidden City.
Yes! The guards kept pointing and said, their flags had been planted in Beijing, and Yao Dongzhao also let him listen to the shouts.
A general came quickly to report: "King Qi, a great victory! Our army has broken through the enemy formation in a row, and now most of the entire capital is trapped in the hands of our army! Only the manchu soldiers are fighting stubbornly in the city, and no one dares to come out to violate our heavenly army! Every family in the capital is closed. Among them, representatives come out to express their surrender to our army, and they express their great happiness. They are looking forward to it day and night to be able to inherit the imperial transformation again! Now that we are looking forward, of course we are very happy."
Zhang Biwu was very happy after hearing this, so he asked the general to tell Yao Dongzhao so that Yao Dongzhao would be happier. Sure enough, Yao Dongzhao was very happy, although his coughing still did not stop!
Zhang Biwu waved his head, and he wanted to go to the Forbidden City in person. He wanted to enter inside, and at the same time, he wanted to welcome Yongli and the prince.
When Zhang Biwu was approaching the Forbidden City, he heard the shouts of killing that had stopped, which proved that the battle was over! Although the sound of fighting was still heard from time to time in the capital, it was just a small group of stubborn people who were struggling for the final dying struggle, and they could no longer afford to make a big wave.
But Yao Dongzhao was almost out of reach. When he arrived at the Palace Gate of the Forbidden City, he was already breathless.
Yao Dongzhao said his last words: "Great! Success! We drove the Tartars out of the confinement..." He swallowed his last breath in front of the gate of the Forbidden City.
Zhang Biwu looked at the dead Yao Dongzhao. He sighed, because his situation was already very obvious. He couldn't hold on for too long. He would die if he said he would die. It is rare to be able to hold on until now!
Zhang Biwu ordered someone to bury Yao Dongzhao. After all, Yao Dongzhao gave Zhang Biwu great help! Under repeated difficulties, it was only with the help of Yao Dongzhao that he was able to escape danger!
Lu Xiangsheng came. When he saw Yao Dongzhao dead, he was still sad. Although he was mentally prepared, sadness still swelled up his heart!
Huang Qi said to Zhang Biwu: "My lord, go in! You must go in in person!" Huang Qi and others all agreed with the same opinion. They wanted Zhang Biwu to step into the Forbidden City, rather than letting Yongli or Chongzhen's prince enter first. This was not only Huang Qi's wish, but also the voice of many soldiers.
Zhang Biwu stepped into the Forbidden City and saw that there were corpses everywhere, including those on their own and those from the enemy, and they were lying all over the ground!
Zhang Biwu's eyes also fell to the exploded palace, and Yue Le's body was buried under the rubble. Ebilong died after taking poison, sitting on the Grand Master's chair and poisoning.
Zhang Biwu smiled: No matter how heroic you die, you will eventually be defeated! Being able to defeat soldiers as brave as the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty can better show their abilities. Only such victory will be more valuable! It is also more worthy of pride!
The other soldiers were also excited. Many of them were fighting here just now, but now? One or two were shocked by the majesty of the Forbidden City. Why is this happening?
The reason is that when they were fighting just now, they did not notice the majesty of the palace. In the fight, life and death are at the forefront. They can only focus on fighting against the enemy with all their energy, so how can they take care of the palace?
The gorgeous palaces today make them excited! They suddenly feel like they have entered the fairyland like this, but because there are still many corpses here that have not been cleaned yet, it is somewhat of a badass.
As soon as Zhang Biwu arrived, someone immediately called the King of Qi three times. Many people knelt down. They were all very excited. After all, after fighting for so many years, they finally waited for this day, which made the King of Qi stand at the highest point that symbolizes imperial power. They also followed the dragon minister and followed the dragon and the phoenix. The good days in the future were coming!
Zhang Biwu stood at the palace gate of the Forbidden City. He was not unfamiliar with the imperial palace. He had entered the Forbidden City several times before and was still in the imperial prison of Dongchang! Now the imperial prison of Dongchang has been destroyed.
Of course, they have to clean up now. After all, Zhang Biwu has already given instructions to clean up the bodies and clean them up to welcome Emperor Yongli and the prince into the Forbidden City.
As for the Forbidden City, Zhang Biwu still didn't want to move in for the time being. He wanted to welcome Emperor Yongli and Prince Chongzhen to stay in the Forbidden City, and wait for Yongli's imperial edict before he entered. As for the Qing Dynasty, he was driven out of seclusion, and even if he didn't fight the Ming Dynasty's flag, it would be fine.
However, Zhang Biwu considered that the situation was not stable yet, and he had to stabilize the situation first. After the world was settled, would he continue to be the main force of Emperor Ming? However, all the government affairs would be left to Emperor Yongli to him by Zhang Biwu, who named him the governor and reviewed the memorials in the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City.
Zhang Biwu's entry into the Qianqing Palace is a spotlight overseas! Where is the Qianqing Palace? It is the place where the emperor works and handles the government affairs! Once Zhang Biwu moves here, it shows a huge significance, and he will succeed the Ming Dynasty!
Although he still adheres to the Ming Dynasty now, it is just like the Wei Dynasty and Han Dynasty and the Song Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty. Everyone knows that the situation has evolved to this point. No matter what, what can be done is to be the best interests and not let themselves suffer misfortune. This is what people should care about and do.
When Zhang Jun entered the city, everyone in the capital adopted the welcome method. They kept shouting King Qi and shouting welcome. At the same time, the word "Shun Min" was written on their heads, and of course, even every household had such words written on the door!
The praises to Zhang Biwu are endless. If this is heard, of course it feels so good in his heart. But Zhang Biwu can still maintain a calm mind and not lose his mind because of the huge victory in front of him, and become floating.
Of course, Zhang Biwu would not let five households raise one soldier when Li Zicheng entered the capital, nor would the soldiers live in the city. Those who entered the city were elite soldiers to be responsible for the safety of the capital. The main army was still stationed outside the city, and for example, in the Changping area, so there would be no more dangerous situations in the capital.
Yongli and the prince came outside the Forbidden City. Yongli only remembered that he entered the Forbidden City once when he was a child. He had little impression of it. He only knew that he was shocked by the gorgeousness! After all, Yongli was still young at that time!
The court stipulated that the vassal kings would not be summoned, so the lineage of King Gui could not leave the vassal state to reach the capital. Therefore, Emperor Yongli was still very unfamiliar with the Forbidden City.
He was shocked. The Forbidden City was so majestic! It was so beautiful! Yes! If this was not the case, how could it reflect the royal style? It would have to make people feel a sense of awe.
The prince was very excited. He thought he had no chance to return to the place where he was born and grew up, but now? He is back again! This is his home! It is his home! The place where he dreams of it!
Perhaps in the near future, this is not my home and I can’t come in again! But being able to come back again and take a look at the place where I was born and raised is more happy and exciting than anything else, isn’t it? The prince’s most thought is to pay tribute to his father.
Zhang Biwu came to welcome Yongli and the prince in person. He moved into the Forbidden City with Emperor Yongli and the prince. Of course, he would also let Yongli and the prince go to worship Chongzhen and Empress Zhou together.
Of course, this incident caused a great shock in the capital. People came out to see it, and there was also a person who came out to see it with his face covering.
She was tiptoing to look at her, and at the same time she kept examining herself, as if she was afraid that people would recognize her.
After a long time, she asked the man around her: "Shixian, you think I shouldn't recognize you like this, right? A lustful person like Zhang Biwu used to be drooling at me, but now he must still think about how to occupy me! So I have to be careful! If it weren't for my brothers coming out, I wouldn't have to take this risk! Alas!"
Not bad! This woman is Princess Kunxing! She was carried out by the Qing Dynasty before and treated her well, showing that the Qing Dynasty would not have any bad things to the Zhu Ming royal family. This is the political skill of the Qing Dynasty. How can a woman be said to be unable to restore the country? She can use this to win people's hearts.
