Kangxi was immediately suspicious and stared at the Eighth Prince, trying to find some differences from his face, but the Eighth Prince was still open-minded and spoke generously.

"What the prince means is to punish him strictly?"

"That's right!" said the Eighth Prince: "Now that the Ming army is approaching the capital, the war is right in front of us! If these people are not severely punished, how can the court unite people's hearts to defend Beijing? If the top is effective, the people's hearts will be disintegrated. My sons think that this battle will no longer be fought. The so-called heavy punishments in troubled times, and the serious medicine will be put on serious medicine, Emperor Ah Ma!"

The Eighth Prince's words made Kangxi sigh. He had always thought that the Eighth Prince was only good at scheming, but he had no emperor's courage. But now the Eighth Prince was talking about it in his heart. Looking at this son standing in front of him, Kangxi felt a little regretful at this moment. Maybe he treated this son well before, and even made him the crown prince when Ma Qi and others recommended him, and the relationship between the father and son would not be as good as today.

No matter what, the Qing Dynasty and Kangxi are one. As the crown prince and the eighth prince are the crown prince. Without the Qing Dynasty, they are nothing. No matter what those slaves are, they are still slaves after all. The key is the Qing Dynasty's country!

"What do you think?" Although Kangxi had made a decision in his heart, he still asked the eldest prince who was beside him. The eldest prince immediately stated that everything was based on the decision of the emperor. He now only wanted to do his duty and defend this country for the Qing Dynasty.

In this case, Kangxi was not a person who was dragging his feet. He immediately issued an order to capture Prince Jian Yaerjiang, Prince A'anjie Prince Hua Guo and others for the crime of trying to escape at the last minute. All his family members were imprisoned and his property was not used for military purposes. If there were similar situations, they would be punished according to this.

On that day, the mansions of these people were in chaos. Beile never expected this to happen. Before he could resist, he became a prisoner, his family was confiscated, and his family was locked up. Kangxi's thunderous move immediately scared the entire court. Those who had the intention to escape from Beijing would dare to move? He was afraid that the next person would be arrested would be himself.

Facing a strong enemy, Kangxi did not hesitate and first made a heavy move on his side. In addition to Prince Jian Yaerjiang, Prince A'anjie Prince Hua Guo and others, nearly ten people were imprisoned one after another, and even some wealthy families in the city were raided.

This certainly made the panic-in Beijing city amaze, at least no one dared to act rashly, and even fewer privately connected. In addition, after scavenging these people's homes, Kangxi immediately earned tens of millions of taels. You should know that these two people are ****. After the accumulation of nearly a hundred years, this property is not a decimal, not to mention that there are other officials and wealthy families in the city. The purchase of these silver has slowed down the urgent finances and has a greater grasp of defending the city.

With the money in hand, the eldest prince quickly formed a team in the capital. In addition, the defenders in the capital and the slaves recruited by the various prefectures, there were nearly 100,000 troops in the entire Beijing.

After taking down Langfang, Lin Jianzhang marched towards Beijing after a short rest. The next goal of the new army was Beijing City. However, unlike other cities, Beijing City is not only a capital city, but also a giant city. It is absolutely impossible to siege the city with the strength of the new army. Moreover, Lin Jianzhang did not have this idea. All he had to do was concentrate his strength to attack a little, and use powerful firepower to tear open the defense of Beijing City.

Lin Jianzhang's goal was not Yongding Gate, but Chaoyang Gate and Dongzhi Gate to the east. Compared with Yongding Gate, these two gates are easier to expand in force, and once they break through these two gates, they can face the imperial city directly in order to quickly capture Beijing.

On this day, 15,000 troops arrived outside Chaoyang Gate and began to set up positions facing the towering Beijing City. On the side of Beijing City, the gate was closed and the suspension bridge had been pulled up long ago. The city was full of troops guarding the city, looking at the Ming army arranged in an orderly manner outside the city with uneasy anxiety.

As the Great General Fuyuan, the eldest prince personally climbed the city, holding a thousand-mile mirror in his hand and looked at the red Ming army outside. The neat military appearance of the Ming army and the arrangement of cannons after cannons made the eldest prince frightened. In just a few years, the rebels who were only in one go have now become a climate. Now the Ming army outside the city is so elite, which is incomparable to any Qing army in the city.

The eldest prince is brave and good at fighting. He knows the truth that he cannot defend the city to the death. While watching the Ming army's arrangements, he is thinking about ways to break the deadlock.

After watching for a while, the eldest prince got off the city first. At this time, someone came to report that Ma Yunliang, the general of Datong Town, had arrived in Wanping. When he heard the news, the eldest prince was very happy and hurriedly asked someone to summon Ma Yunliang to see him.

"Ma Yunliang, the general of Datong, was seen by the general!"

In the evening, Ma Yunliang, who was exhausted, arrived and saw the eldest prince hurried forward to salute. Before he could kneel down, the eldest prince grabbed his hands and pulled him up with force.

"There is no need for politeness in Ma Zong Town. We were considered old acquaintances when we fought outside the Great Wall."

"I didn't expect that the general still remembers the humble position." Ma Yunliang said with a little excited expression.

"Of course I remember that at that time I remember you were just guerrilla. Time passed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, these years have passed." The eldest prince sighed and took Ma Yunliang's hand and entered the mansion together.

The two of them talked about the old things about that year, and then the eldest prince asked about the situation of Ma Yunliang's troops. Ma Yunliang told the eldest prince that he came to bring 10,000 elite troops from Datong Town this time, including 1,000 cavalry, 2,000 archers, 800 musketeers, and the rest were infantrymen. They finally arrived in Beijing day and night, and the troops are now resting.

"Okay!" The eldest prince praised, and then asked directly how long it took for Ma Yunliang's troops to rest.

"Please rest assured, our troops only need one day to rest and go out to fight!"

"Not more days?"

"No need, now the rebels have attacked the capital. The battle situation is so urgent. Our troops are always waiting for the general to dispatch!" Ma Yunliang said firmly.

"Since that's the case, the military situation is urgent, I won't say much to you. Now the Ming army has set up a formation outside Chaoyang Gate. I'm going to watch the city today. I'm afraid that the Ming army will attack Chaoyang Gate tomorrow. You are also an old army. You should know how to defend the city. I plan to let the Ming army attack the city first. Your troops will enter from Wanping to the east tomorrow, and go out from the east gate behind Yongding Gate. Follow my orders and attack the Ming army's flanks while the Ming army is siegeing the city. Is there any problem?"

"As for the order, obey the order! We will attack his flanks on time to defeat the enemy!" Ma Yunliang stood up without hesitation and responded.
