On November 17, Ma Guozhu entered Gaobeidian and Xizhimen and bombarded the city with artillery. In the afternoon, he attacked Pingzemen, Zhangyimen and Xizhimen.

At midnight, the Han army of the Eight Banners in the city took the lead in opening the Guangning Gate on the west side of the outer city, and the Ming army entered the Fuxing Gate. The next day, another Han army opened the Zhengyang Gate to welcome Xu Dingguo's troops.

So far, Beijing has been restored.

Although Prince An Yue Le resisted stubbornly, the Ming army arrived too quickly. He was stationed in Tianjin and rushed from Tianjin to help Beijing. He only brought back 5,000 Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, but his morale was low.

The Ming army surrounded the city on all sides and bombarded it continuously. The Eight Banners of the Han army in the city and even the Han officials turned their sides and opened their doors to meet the enemy.

At first, the Eight Banners had to defend the city and defend against Han soldiers. After the outer city was defeated, many Mongolians also began to backstab. In the end, many desperate Manchu Eight Banners also began to surrender.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The desperate Yue Le retreated to Meishan with only 800 people around him.

Tu Guobao and Ma Guozhu came together to persuade him to surrender, but Yue Le refused.

The Second Governor of Tuma ordered the artillery bombardment and infantry encirclement and suppression.

The eight hundred Jurchens were eventually bombed to pieces along with Yue Le, and Beijing was completely recovered.

After Beijing fell, the remaining cities in the Great Wall were no longer able to resist. When news spread, the few remaining Tatars in Tianjin, Miyun, and Yongping began to abandon the cities and flee in a hurry.

Many of the Eight Banners who moved into the Guan Encirclement and were unable to escape for a while were rounded up and killed by Tu Guobao and other ministries. No one was left without mercy.

Tianjin, Jizhou, Miyun, Yongping, Funing, and Zunhua were recovered one after another.

When Zhu Yihai went down the Yellow River and returned to Fengtian, Tokyo, it was already December, and good news was coming south every day.

By this time, the entire south of the Great Wall had been recovered, including Shanhaiguan.

None of the Tatars dared to defend, so the defeated generals abandoned the pass and headed north, taking the old, weak, women and children with them.

Starting from Shanhaiguan Pass in Yongping Prefecture in the east to Jiayu Pass in the west, all the border walls have been restored.

The only remaining Qing army in the Central Plains was Nikan and others who were blocked in the Blue Martial Arts Road. They were still struggling to hold on, but their demise was imminent.

The world was shaken and the whole country was jubilant.

Many officials and gentry even wrote letters requesting the emperor to move to Beijing, restore the old capital, and celebrate the New Year in Beijing this year.

The Tatars were driven out of the Central Plains and after Beijing fell, Jierhalang did not lead his troops across the Great Wall to capture Beijing. Instead, he supported Emperor Shunzhi and fled 500 miles north overnight to Chifeng.

Tokyo and other cities inside and outside celebrate the New Year in advance, and everyone is smiling.
