"Hurry, hurry up, fight against those bandits for our Qing Dynasty and the Regent!"

Feng Quan roared wildly.

In front of him, a large number of yamen runners composed of officials' slaves rushed into the houses beside the street like a wolf and tiger, dragging out women and children, tied up by their crying. Behind these yamen runners there were countless such women and children, strung up like animals, driven by the whip of the slaves in the crying, and walking forward little by little. At the same time, in the streets and alleys in Beijing, the civil servants of the Qing Dynasty were taking their slaves and searching for women and children in the city in the same way, and then driving them to...

"Let you enter the palace be a blessing you have cultivated for several lifetimes. The Regent of the Qing Dynasty loves you. Don't be ungrateful!"

Grand Secretary Feng shouted.

Their destination is the Imperial City.

To be precise, it is the narrow imperial street between Daming Gate and Chengtian Gate. As for what to do if you are in the wind, sun and rain in the future, the official will not care about it. In fact, it is hard to say whether anyone really cares about their food and drink. After all, there is not much food in the city, and it will not last long to support the army.

"Master, please be kind to me. I am proficient in chess, piano, calligraphy and painting. I wish to be a slave to the master!"

A woman suddenly fell to Feng Quan's feet and cried.

At the same time, she looked up at Feng Quan.

She should have a good background. Although her face was covered with dirt, she could tell that her skin was fair and her appearance was pretty. Her two tears were even more pitiful, but...

"Get out, bitch!"

When she was young, she felt the benefits of men. Grand Secretary Feng, who was once a handsome man, raised her foot and kicked her to the ground without any hesitation. Then a slave grabbed her hair and dragged her to the side with a rope. The woman wanted to beg for something, but the whip she fell without any hesitation made her finally understand that women are nothing in this world. Even if she is lucky if she doesn't kill her and eat meat, she just needs to drag her over with a string.

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting...

Suddenly, the sky roared, and then something fell into the embroidery building of a mansion in the distance. In an instant, the embroidery building was shattered in an explosion, and smoke and dust quickly rose.

Feng Quan looked there with a gloomy gaze.

Suddenly, a young man rushed out of the yard. Before the servants who were also watching this scene could react, they roared straight for him with a stick.

Suddenly, the sound of breaking through the air sounded.

Immediately afterwards, the man's chest was penetrated by sharp arrows.

Seeing him falling down with grief and anger, Grand Secretary Feng wiped the cold sweat from his head, turned around and smiled and nodded to express his gratitude to the Eight Banners officer not far away. A woman behind him cried and pounced on the man's body. At the same time, a middle-aged man was dragged out by a slave.

"Hurry up, get on the city wall!"

Feng Quan said.

"If you don't go, this is your end. Your wife and children are all beheaded by the bandits!"

He then added with a ferocious look.

The man looked at the dead corpses on the ground, his wife and children tied with ropes, lowered his head with a sad and angry expression, and stood numbly among a group of strong men. The Qing army officer next to him suddenly whipped a strong man, and several other Qing soldiers kicked a few strong men. This team of strong men walked towards the city wall like a walking corpse.

At this time, the Shun Army, which was attacking the gap in the city wall, had been repelled.

Although the Shun Army's offensive was fierce, it was useless.

Because Dorgon also has a special type of Divine Army!

Dozens of Divine Army warriors rushed into the melee soldiers with gunpowder bags on their bodies, and used this indiscriminate attack to repel the Shun Army. Even the gap had been quickly blocked by Qing soldiers with dead bodies and various wood and stones.

But the Shun Army continued to attack with the support of cannons.

After all, Li Zicheng has an absolute advantage in military strength, and the same is true for firepower. With the canal and Yang Qing, the material supplier and a lot of money in the rear, Li Zicheng can buy anything from Jiangnan.

Faced with his aggressive attack, in order to avoid the loss of the Eight Banners Army too much, Dorgon took this clever approach at Feng Quan's suggestion. The civil servants and their slaves acted as slave capturing teams, and then captured the strong men in the city as cannon fodder, locked the strong men's wife and children into the imperial city and watched by the Eight Banners Army. When the Shun Army broke through the city wall, they killed all these women and children.

In this way, the strong men were forced to fight.

There are 50,000 Eight Banners and 50,000 Shuntian gentry armed forces, including the Divine Army, in the city, which is enough to ensure control of the entire Beijing city.

They can also capture 200,000 strong men in the city.

Since this is the case, let’s compete with Li Zicheng for will!

The flesh and blood of these strong men consumed Li Zicheng's offensive power. At this time, gentry from all over the country were organizing their own armed forces to prepare for reinforcements in Beijing. In fact, even the main force of the Eight Banners Manchus was transferred out to Duoduo for future counterattacks. Jiang Yan and the Mongolian army were also carrying out the final encirclement and suppression of Liu Zongmin. As long as Dorgon could defend Beijing for half a year, not only these, but even the Mongolian troops in the northern desert were invited.

Although it is still hard to say how many people will come.

But there will definitely be some people, after all, those herders are also eager to go south to make a fortune.

Dorgon just drags on.

He knew very well that he had no hope for the decisive battle. Even if he had the Mongolian allies, his army would only be 100,000, and among them, 30,000 Eight Banners and Korea, the combat effectiveness of these people would not be stronger than that of Jiang Jin and others, and the rest would be surrendered. These generals of the army must have one mind, but it is hard to say how much fighting will the soldiers could have in the face of their old masters. His advantage was that those gentry regarded him as a life-saving straw. As long as he persisted in Beijing or dragged Li Zicheng, gentry everywhere would see hope to fight for their lords in the era of saints and sages, and those aliens would also see the opportunity to loot the Central Plains Flower World.

In short, he has many potential allies.

But these people all need time and enough confidence. Then he will hold on to Beijing and hold on to Li Zicheng, which will give these people time and opportunity.

Then wait for Li Zicheng to fight back when he is exhausted.

This is very adventurous.

But Dorgon had no other choice.

This time he went south to seek life in his life. His attack on North Korea only replenished his troops, but the barren North Korea did not give him much food. The grain smuggled by Shanxi merchants was cut off. The Qing Dynasty did not produce enough food by itself. Last winter, it was only by feeding the elderly and weak Koreans. This year's severe cold and drought are even more serious. If this continues, they will be trapped to death.

In order to survive, they can only seek a way out of life from within the pass.

This is a gamble of fate.

"But it's just that there's not enough food!"

Chen Mingxia, who was originally a mortal enemy of Feng Quan in history, said.

"not enough?"

Feng Quan smiled grimly and said, "Isn't this food?"

Chen Mingxia didn't understand at first, but when his eyes fell on the women and children in the direction he was looking at, he took a breath of air. He looked at Feng Quan with a shocking gaze, and then said nothing. He took his slave straight to a closed yard gate in front, smashed open and broke in without hesitation, and soon the cry of a woman came from inside.

"Then let's burn both jade and stone!"

Grand Secretary Feng waved his arms and shouted wildly.

He did not notice that at this time, in the gutter not far away, his eyes were passing through the gaps of the stone slabs in the stench of sewage, quietly looking at his back, watching the women being taken to the imperial city far away while crying.

After Feng Quan took his slaves and the Qing army who acted as a deterrent, the owner of these eyes carefully crawled forward in the sewage. Fortunately, the stone slabs above his head were full of cracks, so the air inside was still circulating. Otherwise, such an environment would have to smother people. He climbed to the exit of the gutter, and then waited for the night to come. After confirming that there was no one around, he pushed open a soaked corpse in front of him, quickly entered the drainage ditch outside, and continued to swim forward carefully along the gutter, pushing away one by one from time to time to block his corpse. Because of the lack of food, in fact, a large number of poor people starved to death in this city every day, and there would be no one to clean it up after the Shunjun besieged the city. Not to mention these gutters, dead bodies in the streets and alleys in the city are the least rare.

Including some women killed by the Qing army.

After the Shun Army besieged the city, this city has actually become a demon. If Li Zicheng mainly tortured officials and gentry after entering Beijing, the people who are unlucky after the Qing army enters the city are the common people.

This person soon arrived at Deshengmen Water Pass.

The Shun Army has always been attacking the various gates on the east side, and is just a warning on all sides. There are not many Qing troops guarding here, and no one pays attention to the city. He quickly hides into the shadow of the culvert. The water depth here is not over, and there are even a few dead bodies blocking the iron lattice. He retreats to the shore to untie the backpack, take out a special diving suit and put it on. This thing is actually a sealed head cover with a leather tube connected to it. There is driftwood on the leather tube that can float, because the length of the leather tube is limited at most, it can be ten feet under the water. However, it is enough for this kind of water gate. After diving under the water, he quickly touches the rusted iron lattice under the mud with his hands, and starts to see two meters deep under the water with his carrying fine hacksaw, and saw these pig iron that has been rusted into rotten wood for many years without changing.

Soon a hole that was enough for him to enter and exit was sawed out.

He surfaced and took milk to replenish his energy.

After resting for a while, he pulled open the silt and went backwards into the culvert. After revealing the water surface, he carefully pulled the back tube. The culvert that kept the water level inside and outside was half open. He dived directly from underwater and arrived in front of the iron lattice outside. Through this iron lattice, he was the moat.

He followed the steps just now and quickly sawed the hole and drilled it out.

Unconsciously on the city wall.

He quietly swam across the moat, hid in the weeds on the other side, crawled forward with the help of the weeds to cover the sight of the city walls, and did not get up until he went out more than ten feet away. He put away his diving suit and bowed his waist and quickly left the city. More than ten minutes later, he met a team of patrolling Shun soldiers.

"Xu Cheng, the stationmaster of Jinyiwei Beidu Station, asked to see the King of Qin!"

He took out his waist sign and said to the stunned soldiers.
Chapter completed!
