Chapter 1018 Fulin is missing

This team of more than 200,000 people left the capital. Except for more than 5,000 Eight Banners soldiers and more than 3,000 eunuchs, the rest were all women, children, elderly, weak and half-aged children.

Because Zhongzhen Camp had conquered Datong and was attacking towards Zhangjiakou, the fugitive team did not dare to go to Zhangjiakou. Instead, after leaving Juyong Pass, he walked towards Yanqing. After passing Yanqing, he went directly north, preparing to cross the Yanshan Mountains, enter the grassland, and then head north.

Under Zhangjiakou City, the sound of cannons rumbled and the smoke of gunpowder was rolling. Zhongzhen Camp was fiercely attacking the city.

Because the various rebels in Shanxi responded, Zhongzhen Camp encountered almost no resistance south of Taiyuan in Shanxi. Since Zhongzhen Camp left Ziwu Valley, it fought a war in Xi'an. Zhongzhen Camp forcibly captured Xi'an. Meng Qiaofang, the governor of the Qing Dynasty, was captured by Zhongzhen Camp, and five horses were dismembered. The whole city of Xi'an was massacred by Zhongzhen Camp.

Li Guo ordered that all the men who were above the wheel in Xi'an would be killed, and the women and children would be slaves. In this way, almost all the men of the bannermen who fought the rebels and fled south were killed.

After capturing Xi'an, Zhongzhen Camp entered Shanxi along the Fen River. The Qing army surrendered in Pingyang Prefecture (now Yuncheng and Linfen), and Fenzhou and other places surrendered without fighting. The peasant uprising troops of Yu Yin, Han Zhaoxuan, Li Qisheng and others from southern Jin came to pick them up and met with Zhongzhen Camp.

Zhongzhen Camp joined forces with the Han King's uprising army, and adapted the surrendered Qing army, and fought all the way to Taiyuan along the Fen River. Under the city of Taiyuan, Tong Yangliang, the governor of Shanxi of the Qing Dynasty, who was stationed in Taiyuan, led the Han Eight Banners Army to resist stubbornly, but was eventually blown up the city wall by Zhongzhen Camp using acupuncture techniques and attacked into Taiyuan City.

Tong Yangliang committed suicide. After surrendering to Zhongzhen Camp, the prefect of the Taiyuan of the Qing Dynasty was also killed by Li Guo. The surrendered Han Eight Banners soldiers in the city were dug a big hole by Li Guo and buried all of them alive.

Zhongzhen Camp was advancing northward. Along the way, the quiet Wang Yongqiang, Liu Qian from Daizhou, and Zhang Huanchu from Wutai Mountain, Gaoshan responded one after another. Zhongzhen Camp successfully arrived at Datong City. Jiang Guan immediately ordered that the Datong military and civilians would follow Zhongzhen Camp anyway.

Li Guo did not care about Jiang Guan's crime of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. Zhongzhen Camp joined forces with the Shanxi Uprising Army and Jiang Guan's Datong Ming Army to attack Zhangjiakou together.

However, after Zhongzhen Camp arrived in Zhangjiakou, Geng Yi, the governor of the Qing Dynasty Xuanda who was stationed in Zhangjiakou, was extremely stubborn. He was determined to bury the Qing court and led the Qing army to fight to the death.

The sound of cannons rumbled from Zhangjiakou City, and the fierce attacks of Zhongzhen Camp were repelled by the Qing army.

Because Geng Yi of Zhangjiakou resisted stubbornly, he blocked the road to Zhongzhen Camp, allowing Bumubutai and Shunzhi, who had escaped from the capital, to safely pass Yanqing and Yanshan Mountains.

Just when Zhongzhen Camp attacked Zhangjiakou for a long time, Ye Busuo came to report to Li: "Master General, a cavalry appeared outside the northern pass! There were more than 100,000 people! They were cavalry from the Mongolian vassals of the outer vassal!"

Geng Yi, who was in Zhangjiakou City, was overjoyed when he saw the arrival of the Mongolian cavalry of the foreign vassals: "Erlangs, stop the thieves! Our reinforcements have arrived! The bandits faced the Mongolian cavalry and will collapse!"

Who knew that Geng Yi had not been happy for a long time, but the Mongolians sent out several people to raise white flags and rode their horses toward Zhongzhen Camp. After a while, the Mongolians holding white flags entered Zhongzhen Camp camp.

Subsequently, the Mongolian army turned its flag and posed the Ming army!

Seeing this scene, Geng Yi was paralyzed on the top of the city and sighed: "It's over! Those Mongolian Tartars are just unreliable! Our Qing Dynasty has become like this. Not only do they not help, they take advantage of the situation to rob!"

"Sir, the city walls of Zhangjiakou are strong. Even if the Mongolian Tartars and the bandits join forces, they may not be able to break them!" A general of the Eight Banners of Han stepped forward and persuaded.

After the Mongolian vassals joined, although the Mongolian cavalry was not good at siegeing the city, the morale of the defenders in the city dropped to the extreme. They defended Zhangjiakou and resisted stubbornly because they received the news that reinforcements came. Who knew that the reinforcements who came changed and turned into enemies, which was a huge blow to the morale of the defenders.

The Mongols have rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. Are there any reinforcements? It must be gone. The Mongols of Korqin were being hunted by Subude's army at this time. They were unable to protect themselves and could still come to rescue them? Even if there were Korqin people who escaped, they were also in the Yanshan area and escorting Fulin's team, how could they run to Zhangjiakou?

Surrender to the Zhongzhen Camp? Anyone else can surrender, but he, Geng Yan, cannot surrender. Even if this traitorous Han Eight Banners surrendered, they will inevitably die. Don’t say that Zhongzhen Camp will not let them go, but take a step back, even if Zhongzhen Camp lets them go and fall into the hands of Duke of Chu, these big traitors of the Han Eight Banners will die.

However, the morale of the Qing army in Zhangjiakou had fallen to the extreme, and there were no reinforcements. If you defend it, you would die. Some Qing soldiers who did not want to die secretly gathered together to discuss.

"If we continue to fight, we will all die. Instead of dying, Geng Yan will die!" said a Qiangmao of the Qing army.

The following boards responded one after another: "Sir, as long as you say, we will open the city gate to welcome the king's army!"

One general said, "They are not a kingly army either. Only the Duke of Chu is the real kingly army! In my opinion, it is better to surrender to the Duke of Chu than to surrender to these bandits."

"You have a problem with your brain? Where is the Duke of Chu? Even if we surrender to him, we can't fly over." Qian Zong said.

After discussion, these lower-level officers of the Qing army in the Green Camp decided to surrender Zhangjiakou.

After nightfall, the Qing army, who was about to surrender to Zhongzhen Camp, suddenly broke out and fought fiercely with the Han Eight Banners Army guarding the city gate. Although the Han Eight Banners Army had excellent weapons, they were completely unprepared and had too few people, so they were quickly defeated. The surrendered Qing army of the Green Camp opened the city gate.

"Kill!" Li Guo's loyal camp entered the city.

"Qing, Daqing! Our Qing Dynasty is about to perish!" Geng Yi burst into tears and sighed to the sky.

I don’t know whether the Qing Dynasty wants to finish it. Anyway, those traitors and gentry will definitely finish it.

Zhangjiakou fell into the hands of Zhongzhen Camp. After the final resistance, Geng Yi, the governor of Xuanda of the Qing Dynasty, was shot into a horse's nest by a row of bird gunners from Zhongzhen Camp.

After the Zhongzhen Camp conquered Zhangjiakou, it immediately rushed to the capital without stopping.

Li Guodong's Huai Army had already taken the lead in the capital, five days earlier than Zhongzhen Camp and one day earlier than Li Yan and Hongniangzi's Shandong Guard Army.

The Huai Army was preparing to attack the city in full swing, and at the same time sent people to shoot arrows into the city, persuading Shang Kexi, who was left behind in the capital, to surrender.

"Persisting surrender? I am not a slave from the three surnames! I was originally a Ming minister, and I have betrayed the Ming Dynasty once, so I can no longer betray the Qing Dynasty! If I betrayed the Qing Dynasty again, wouldn't I betrayed the three ministers who are despised? "Shang Kexi roared.

But many of the three ministers in the city were blushed after hearing Shang Kexi's words.

Those three ministers knew that they had no way to survive, and they could not surrender. Even if they surrender, Li Guodong would not be able to let these three ministers go. Not only would they be executed by Li Guodong, but they would also leave an eternal infamous in history books.

As a literati, in addition to greeting for some money and allowing himself and his family to live a good life, he also hopes to leave a good reputation in history books. However, it is impossible for those three ministers to have a good reputation. If the Qing Dynasty was still there, how could they say that they could still leave a good reputation in history books? But now, it is impossible.

I heard that Li Guodong built a monument to the National Heroes in Nanjing and also built a traitor hall, which contained the names of all the traitors and three ministers, several big traitors and kneeling statues!

For those three traitors, although the Qing Dynasty abandoned them, they could only be buried with the Qing Dynasty.

However, there are exceptions, Zu Dashou is an exception, because Li Guodong secretly contacted him and promised to form a family to surrender.

The fleeing flag-men finally left the Yanshan Mountains and entered the vast grassland under the escort of the Korqin Mongols.

"Empress Dowager! Empress Dowager! Big things are bad! Big things are bad!" An eunuch rolled in front of Bumubutai's car, knelt on the ground and cried loudly, "Empress, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is gone!"

"What?" Bumubutai stood up, "Hurry, take Ai's house to see!"

Bumubutai, accompanied by several guards and eunuchs and palace maids, came to Fulin's car.

This kind of car was produced by skilled craftsmen from the Qing Dynasty, but in fact they all purchased four-wheeled carriages made in Foshan and Shanghai, removed the four-wheeled carriage, removed the bearings and rubber wheels, and then assembled them. The carriage has ten wheels! The front two guide wheels and eight wheels behind them, the huge carriage is like a flowing palace, with very luxurious decoration inside. The windows are also glass windows, and the glass is naturally dismantled from the imported four-wheeled carriage.

But when I opened the curtain first, I found that Fulin was not inside at all!

"What should I do? The emperor is missing!" Sony asked anxiously.

Bumu Butai was also worried. Fulin didn’t even have a son, but he was missing. Who should be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty? If the Qing Dynasty has lost its emperor, is this called the Qing Dynasty?

Lahauge's son came out to be the emperor? Bah! Hauge's son really became the emperor and would probably kill Bumubutai. He will not forget how Bumubutai colluded with Dorgon and killed his father.

Rashuose came out to become the emperor? Bumubutai was not relieved. Shuose is already twenty-one years old. Can he control him?

In the end, Bumubutai thought about it for a long time and first appointed Bomubogore, who was only eight years old, as the regent.

"The eight-year-old Regent? Isn't this a joke?" Oboi, Sony and other ministers were talking.

The regent means that the emperor is absent, or the emperor is young, and the older royal family serves as the regent to assist the government. But the eight-year-old regent, what does this mean? Isn’t Bumubutai wanting to rule the country from behind the curtain?

However, no one opposed Bumu Butai's opinion, because the Qing Dynasty had become like this. If it could not withstand a civil strife, how many people could survive the remaining people? At this time, it's better to compromise and pass this level first.
