Not long after Shang Zhixin left, Sony came with Suk Saha!

Suksaha also held an envelope in his hand, with a mysterious look on his face.

"Your Majesty, this is, this is Gege's personal letter to you!" Suksaha looked around and found that there was no outsider, so he handed the envelope over with both hands.

"This is it." Fulin's hands were shaking a little as he took the letter, then tore open the seal, took out the letter paper inside, unfolded it and read it.

This is an autographed letter from Princess Ajige of Jianning. The content is very simple, just to persuade her to surrender! In the letter, Ajige told Fulin that although Fulin’s Zhu Amma and Prince Gong were both snatched away by Bomubogor,

, but Zhu Cixiang was still willing to give him one last chance. As long as he was willing to sneak out and surrender, Zhu Cixiang was willing to make him a marquis and let him live his whole life in Nanjing without any worries.

If he doesn't cherish this opportunity, once Beijing is destroyed, Emperor Zhu will not be so easy to talk to. If Fulin is captured again, he will be charged with treason.

Rebellion is punishable by beheading. If the crime is serious, he may be executed in Lingchi. He is not a beauty like Kong Sizhen, so don't think about using your hair to pay for it!

"Your Majesty, what's in the letter?" Suksaha asked.

This letter was sent to him by one of his confidants, an old Manchurian guard general who is now the guard of Deshengmen. It is said that it was brought by the released guard prisoners and was written by Princess Jianning to the emperor.

Personal letter.

"Persuading to surrender"

Sony asked: "What conditions?"

"Save death, become a marquis"

Sony shook his head: "Should we wait any longer? Three hundred thousand Ming troops are surrounding the city. They will consume at least twenty thousand dan in one day. If we delay him for another month, we will definitely have better conditions."

There is some truth to his idea. Twenty thousand dan a day is 600,000 dan a month! If Zhu Cihong cannot bear the consumption, he will definitely offer better conditions to induce him to surrender.

"We can't wait any longer." Fulin shook his head, "Just now Shang Zhixin said that Shang Ke is happy that Geng Zhongming, Kong Tingxun, and Shen Yongxing are going to send troops to fight the Ming army to the death. They are going to fight to the death!"

"Desperately? Why?" Sony was surprised.

"Because the city of Beijing cannot be defended, the Ming Dynasty's army has dug trenches under the Chaoyangmen Fortress." Fulin's face drooped, "Do you think this is happening?"

Sony and Suksaha looked at each other and nodded.

Suk Saha, who participated in Beijing's city defense, said: "The Ming army dug trenches in the east of the city. The trenches not only reached outside the Chaoyangmen Fortress, but were only a few dozen steps away from the defensive trenches of Dongzhimen Fortress and Xiaodongmen Fortress. In addition, the Ming army

The eight giant cannons were also capable of ejecting explosive shells with incredible accuracy, causing heavy casualties to the soldiers on the Chaoyangmen Fortress!"

Sony lowered his voice: "Fortunately, the Ming army did not dig a long trench in the north of the city. They only set up defenses in Beitucheng and didn't pay much attention to the long river."

The Changhe River was originally called Yuhe River, and earlier it was called Jinshui River, Zaohe River, and Gaoliang River. It is a waterway in the west of Beijing, connected to the North Moat. Before the mid-Ming Dynasty, this was where the emperors and concubines of the Ming Dynasty went out of the city to visit the palace gardens in the western suburbs.

Yuhe gradually fell into disuse in the late Ming Dynasty, and the river was silted up, making it impossible to sail. However, after Beijing returned to the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon had the river dredged and restored its navigation ability.

Fulin understood what Sony meant and nodded lightly: "Then let's set up a battle formation between Deshengmen Fortress and Andingmen Fortress in the north of the city!" He paused, "I should also go down to Meishan for a walk, just

I will be sitting in the Thousand Buddha Temple. If the battle outside the city is successful, I will go out of the city to boost the morale of the troops. If it is unfavorable, I will also go out of the city. Soni, Suk Saha, what do you think?"

Sony and Suksaha looked at each other and nodded.

Sony said: "Your Majesty, I will go and prepare now. I will be sure that nothing will happen!"

Suk Saha also said: "The Emperor's servants are also going to make preparations, so that the Emperor will be safe!"

Fulin sighed and said with a wry smile: "What's the point of talking about it now? I'm just sorry for the late emperor!"

Early the next morning, when Kong Tingxun, Geng Zhongming, Shang Zhixin, Shen Yongxing and other four people went to Meishan, Fulin had already put on the cotton armor specially used by the Qing emperor, with a sword hanging on his belt, and was sitting on the throne.

He was motionless. Sony, Suksaha, Banbulshan and others beside him had also put on their military uniforms, and their faces were as tense as anything.

"I have made up my mind to fight to the death with the Emperor of the Zhu family! I will personally visit the battle formation to boost the morale of the three armies!" Fulin gritted his teeth, "Send someone to write a letter of war, and I will set up a battle formation in the north of the city.

Zhu’s fight! If he is a hero, he shouldn’t hide away!”

Very good!

Kong Tingxun and Shang Zhixin looked at each other, feeling like they had been saved.

Geng Zhongming and Shen Yongxing were shocked. What medicine did the emperor take wrongly? He could only survive a few days, but he had to fight for his life! There were 300,000 Ming troops outside Beijing, and they were well-equipped, well-trained, and had better morale.

You are so high-spirited, they are all waiting to arrest you, the Qing Emperor, for meritorious deeds! If you go out on your own, whose morale are you trying to encourage?

"Your Majesty, no!" Geng Zhongming knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty, now that Zhu Ming is powerful and our army is weak, we can only hold on to the fortified city and rely on our troops to wait for King Yu's troops to come. We must not take the risk of attacking.

You can put the Qing Dynasty in one throw!"

Shen Yongxing also knelt down: "Your Majesty, think twice! The swords and swords in the battle formation have no eyes, not to mention that there are cannons that can kill the generals from miles away. Even if the Emperor wants to fight the Ming army outside the city, he will send the generals to fight immediately.

But, the emperor’s body worth millions of dollars must be taken care of!”

Fulin nodded: "You two are right, but now the Ming army's trenches have dug under several fortresses in the east of the city. If these fortresses are not protected, the city will be destroyed soon. So I decided

Make a desperate move and go out to the city for a decisive battle. If you fail, I will lead you to break out of the siege and go to the outside of the pass to surrender to the King of Yu.

However, I can’t take too many risks, so I will first sit down at Thousand Buddha Temple, wait for the decisive battle outside the city to reach the critical moment, and then lead the three hundred guards and cavalry out of the city!"

"Thousand Buddha Temple?"

In the Chonghua Palace, Shang Kexi had received Shang Zhixin and Kong Tingxun's report. Lao Shang muttered: "There can't be any fraud, right? The little emperor is stupid, but Sony and Suk Saha are monkey spirits.

Don’t be playing any tricks!”

"Father, what kind of deceit can they have? There are three hundred cavalry anyway. If they can charge up in the wilderness outside the city, what's the use in Thousand Buddha Temple? My son brought a thousand men and three cannons, and they were accurate.

Clean it up! The Emperor of the Zhu family didn’t say he wanted to live anyway, so it would be the same if he handed over his head and went out!"

Kong Tingxun also said: "Yes, King Shang, we have 40,000 people at hand, and the little emperor has thousands of people. As long as we go down the mountain, they are all in our hands!"

Shang Kexi nodded: "I'm afraid that he will stick to Meishan now. As long as we get down to Meishan, what else is there to be afraid of?"

He looked at his son: "Zhixin, I will give you three thousand soldiers and five 3-pound cannons, and we must take down the little emperor!"

"Got the order!"

Shang Kexi said to Kong Ting again: "Old nephew, send someone to see your old sister and the Ming Emperor. We must get an accurate answer. I heard that the Ming Emperor will keep his word. As long as we get his word, our lives can be saved.

.”

"Okay," Kong Tingxun said, "I asked my godbrother Kong Sibao to sneak out of the city."

"There is no need to sneak out," Shang Ke said happily, "Just in the name of sending a letter of war, we will pretend to go out of the city to set up a battle formation, have a fake fight with the Ming army, and wait until it is almost done before coaxing the little emperor to come out.

Thousand Buddhas Temple, you are setting an ambush at Thousand Buddhas Temple to take him alive."

"Father, isn't this troublesome?"

Shang Kexi waved his hand: "Don't forget Ajige. She is a beautiful girl who has been following Emperor Zhu since she was a child. I'm afraid that girl Sizhen can't compare with her, so we can't do anything! As long as we can catch someone alive
