Although Ajige pretended to be calm and did not take Zhao Ming to heart after giving in, many people in Manchuria could not be as calm as him.

After all, Xuzhou was invaded, and the Qing army lost nearly 100,000 troops. Zhao Ming led hundreds of thousands of troops to continue north, and he was about to destroy the Qing Dynasty.

Now the Ming army is no longer the same as before, and the Qing army is not the one who is invincible after Sarhu, and is invincible with the spirit of the Qing army's Eight Banners.

As the Ming army approached step by step, there was an atmosphere of fear all over the Qing Dynasty.

At the beginning of April, after the Linqing Conference of many rebel leaders in Shandong, as well as gentry and powerful people, Zhao Ming led a large army to enter Hebei in a mighty manner.

The Qing army scout immediately reported to the capital.

Ajige, who had been hunting in Nanyuan, then immediately got up and returned to the capital.

At this time, the imperial city and the Ganqing Palace.

Wearing a dragon robe and extremely obese Ajige sat upright on the throne.

On both sides of the hall, the ministers of Manchu and Han dynasties were separated.

After the ministers saluted Ajige, Grand Secretary Fan Wencheng stepped out and said: "Emperor, the Ming army has entered Zhili, and the troops are aimed directly at the capital. Please also ask the emperor to make arbitrary decisions."

Ajige said in a deep voice: "I ordered Heluo to retreat to the capital, and all the troops outside the city will enter the city to defend. I want to cage the city to defend the enemy!"

Prince Boleh, who was standing on the left, twitched his mouth and his eyes were filled with anger.

At this point, Bolehe always believed that only by giving up inside the pass, breaking through the siege, and going to the grasslands that the Ming army could not control, could the Qing Dynasty continue its national fortune.

The Qing Dynasty could not defeat Zhao Zamao, and the Ming army, but it was still possible to bully Mongolia.

Boleh made suggestions to Ajig several times, but Ajig rejected him and scolded him.

Now Ajige issued an order to ask He Luo to withdraw his troops from Shanhaiguan, and the capital would be surrounded by the Ming army and everyone would die.

Boleh was angry, but he did not dare to object in person. Azig was moody recently and often wanted to kill people for no reason. Although he was Azig's son, he did not dare to disobey Azig's intentions in front of all civil and military officials.

At this time, Bolech could only lower his head, turn his head slightly, and look at Fan Wencheng.

Fan Wencheng felt Boleh's gaze, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and saluted: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Azig said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"

Fan Wencheng knelt down tremblingly and kowtowed, "Emperor, after the city defense, hundreds of thousands of Ming troops will surround the capital. At that time, if the Qing Dynasty wants to repel the Ming army, it will only wait for the Ming army to be exhausted and retreat on its own, or the Zhou army and the two kings of the two Shun lead troops to support and cooperate with the emperor inside and outside."

Ajige nodded, "Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, Mandahai and Luke Dehun will lead the army!"

Fan Wencheng said: "The Ming army has opened the Grand Canal and has the convenience of shipping. It is difficult for slaves to think that the military rations are exhausted. Therefore, we can only expect the Zhou State and Henan army to come to aid."

Azig frowned and his face sank, "What do you want to say?"

Fan Wencheng kowtowed and said, "What a slave means is that while the Ming army has not yet besieged the city, he begged the emperor to send the prince to Zhou State for help from Wu Sangui, and then went to Henan to supervise the army~"

Fan Wencheng continued, but Ajige's face was already as deep as water and was on the verge of an outbreak.

"Emperor, this is to ask Zhou State to send troops and urge Luoyang to send troops to break the siege of the capital. Second, if the capital cannot be defended, at least the prince will escape. It was because Chongzhen did not send the prince to Jiangning that the Southern Ming court had been in constant internal strife and was almost destroyed by our Qing Dynasty~ Emperor~"

"Enough!" Ajige suddenly slapped the handrail, stood up angrily, and scolded loudly: "Nothing happens! If the enemy is in the city, how can the soldiers be united? In this battle, the key is to stick to the capital. People are uneven, how can they stick to it. I have decided that everyone must not leave the capital. I will definitely lead the Qing Dynasty, defend the capital, and defeat Zhao Zamao."

After Ajig finished speaking, he left the throne angrily and left with his sleeves.

Seeing this, the eunuch hurriedly sang loudly: "Scatter the court!"

Bolech stood in the hall, his eyes full of anger, his chest fluttered, and he exhaled several sips of turbid breath.

Fan Wencheng stood up tremblingly, walked to Bolehe, and sighed, "Prince, I have tried my best!"

Boleh swelled his cheek, "The emperor is so confused!"

Fan Wencheng spoke to Ajige and said, "The prince, the emperor also has the emperor's considerations. Now that the army is approaching, the court must unite. If the emperor sends the prince away, what will the civil and military ministers and soldiers in the city think? Will they still stick to the city?"

"Oh!" Fan Wencheng sighed again. Ajige disagreed, so he could only change his mind and defend Ajige, "Since the emperor has made up his mind, the slave hopes that the prince can assist the emperor in defending the capital. Since the Ming army went north, the slave has collected food and stored the military funds in the city, which is enough for a year. Only by being able to defend the capital may things have a turnaround."

But Bolehe said coldly: "Where is that giant artillery of the Ming army? How to defend against it?"

After Bolehe finished speaking, he snorted coldly and walked away from the hall. In a moment, Fan Wencheng was left alone in the hall.

At this time, Fan Wencheng stood in the hall, unable to help but look around, feeling sad inside. Unexpectedly, the Qing Dynasty will be today.

"Last Emperor! A slave is incompetent!" Fan Wenchen's eyes were deeply trapped, and two lines of turbid tears flowed out of the hall after a while.

When he left the hall, he accidentally stepped on the steps and rolled down directly.

The marble steps in front of the palace are long and hard. Fan Wencheng's old bones are usually easily broken if he is not careful. Before he can roll to the bottom, his bones are broken in many places and he faints from pain.

The sword-bearing guards on both sides saw a figure rolling down. At first, they were stunned. When they saw that it was Fan Wencheng, they suddenly exclaimed in horror and rushed over, surrounding Fan Wencheng who had fainted from falling and shouted anxiously, "Fan Zhongtang, Lord Fan!"

Seeing that there was no movement, the guards were so scared that they quickly carried Fan Wencheng and headed to the Imperial Hospital.

Before the war began, the veterans of the four dynasties of the Qing Dynasty began to serve the Qing Dynasty since the Nurhaci era. Fan Wencheng, the loyal old slave, suddenly fell into a comminuted fracture throughout his body and lost the ability to serve the Qing Dynasty.

This made the Qing Dynasty even more gloomy.

Ajige ordered his full efforts to treat Fan Wencheng, and then according to his strategy, he withdrew his troops from Shanhaiguan and brought all the troops from Zhili to the capital, waiting for the enemy to come.

After He Luohui retreated from Shanhaiguan to the capital, the 30,000 Ming troops outside the pass immediately rushed in.

On the third year of Yongli, on the sixth day of the fourth month, the Ming army's whistle cavalry advanced to the northern suburbs of the Qing capital and appeared in the sight of the defenders.
