The scene of this teahouse in Gyeonggi is just a microcosm of the chaos.

With the Qing army evacuated one after another, the capital had almost become an unmanned state.

The monsters and monsters were dispatched one after another, and the gangsters all hoped to make a fortune by taking advantage of the chaos.

After all, it will probably not take long for the Ming army to fight to take over the capital.

By then, they just wanted to take action but had no chance.

Youdao is to starve to death the timids and to death the courage to death. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is indeed a great time to make money.

However, this made the people in the capital suffer, and they closed the door and didn't even dare to leave, for fear of hitting the gangster and causing them to be slutty.

...

...

After five days of advancement, Zheng Chenggong finally led a large army outside the capital.

After the expansion of the Jiajing Dynasty, the capital now has an outer city.

Zheng Chenggong rode his horse and looked up at Gaogang and found that there were no soldiers on the city wall.

Could it be that some empty city plan?

No matter what, this is also the capital, and it is the place where the Qing army is most stationed.

Why does it seem like no one at first glance?

This is not consistent with common sense.

Of course there is another possibility, that is, the Qing army has run away.

This is not impossible. After all, this is not uncommon all the way, and it is not the first time.

The only possibility is that the Qing imperial family has evacuated.

If this is the case, then Zheng Chenggong's action of ordering Zheng Jing to harass Yongping Mansion may have laid the groundwork.

No matter what, Zheng Chenggong should still be more cautious.

It is of great importance, and it would be too unworthy if it was imprisoned by the Qing army.

Under Zheng Chenggong's order, He Shouyi launched a tentative attack.

In this way, even if the situation is wrong, you can withdraw and stop loss in time.

After all, the Ming army of Simingshan tribe under He Shouyi's command is only a small part of Zheng Chenggong's army.

With He Shouyi's order, the Ming army of Simingshan tribe advanced rapidly.

They have had many experiences before, so they are extremely skilled.

What surprised them was that the whole process seemed a bit too smooth.

When they arrived at the moat, they did not respond.

They did not respond when they crossed the moat.

They still had no response when they set up ladders on the city wall.

This doesn't look like an empty city plan. Did the Qing army really escape?

Until now, He Shouyi had basically concluded that the Qing army had really run away.

Otherwise, the Qing army would have no reason not to react until now.

Of course, the city gate is still closed, which shows some problems.

Sure enough, just as the Ming army was trying to climb the city wall, some Qing soldiers appeared on the top of the city.

They shouted loudly that they were willing to surrender.

The city gate opened wide.

At first, He Shouyi felt a little unbelievable, but he still ordered his soldiers to enter the city.

Soon he found out the truth.

It turns out that the so-called Qing army in these cities is not the main force of elite troops, but the green camp soldiers abandoned by the Qing court, or the old, weak, sick and disabled green camp soldiers.

These old, weak and remnants could not run away, and could only stay in the capital.

Of course, they were not staying for death, but wanted to make a fortune by using the trick.

They had actually thought about it and they would immediately open the city gate and surrender as long as the Ming army came.

In this way, at least one contribution to the city can be saved by relying on this contribution.

Zheng Chenggong naturally accepted this. He even smiled from ear to ear.

Being able to take down Gyeonggi without bleeding is simply something that can wake up laughing in your dreams.

Compared with taking over Gyeonggi, the credit for restoring other cities does not seem to be important.

The first person to restore the capital was not Li Dingguo, not Li Laiheng, but Zheng Chenggong, but Zheng Damu!

Zheng Chenggong was so happy that he naturally became more proud.

I believe His Majesty the Emperor will be happy after hearing this news.

After so many years of experience, Zheng Chenggong is no longer the same Zheng Chenggong as he was back then.

Now he is more mature and can consider issues from the perspective of the court with a high profile.

His Majesty the Emperor must now really hope to move the capital, because this is the place where the Emperor Ming emperors of all dynasties built their capitals except Taizu and Emperor Jianwen.

To a certain extent, the capital represents orthodoxy.

Whoever can stay in the capital is orthodox.

The restoration of the capital is the true meaning of restoring the Ming Dynasty and restoring the world.

But there are also many regrets. The biggest regret is that the main force of the Eight Banners and the Qing Dynasty royal family were let go.

Liaodong was originally the foundation of the Qing army, and this time it means letting the tiger return to the mountain.

It is easy to release a tiger, but it is not that easy to kill a tiger.

Of course, these are not issues that need to be considered at the moment. What Zheng Chenggong has to do now is to lead the army into the city and take over the city defense as quickly as possible, so that the capital's public security will be restored to a normal state.

After all, there is no military force in the city now, which is likely to be a state of extreme chaos.

If it is not controlled and allowed to develop, it is likely to become an uncontrollable point.

This is something Zheng Chenggong doesn't want to see anyway.

In addition, we naturally report the victory to the court and His Majesty the Emperor.

Now the entire section of the Grand Canal in Beijing and Hangzhou is open and all are in the hands of the Ming army.

Get on the boat from Tongzhou Wharf and head south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. You can reach Jiangnan in a maximum of ten days.

The specific details can be discussed later. At this moment, Zheng Chenggong just wants to tell His Majesty the Emperor this good news as soon as possible.

...

...

Still one step slower!

Zheng Jingxin clenched his fists unwillingly and looked at the towering Shanhaiguan.

It was obvious that the Qing army had prepared a long time ago and had a backup plan.

There were many Qing soldiers above the city wall, which were obviously used to block the Ming army.

At this time, there was no need for Zheng Jing to continue to launch an attack. With his troops insufficient to capture Shanhaiguan, and even if he could capture Shanhaiguan, the losses would be heavy.

Since the main force of the Qing army has withdrawn from the pass, it means that the Qing army has abandoned all the cities within Shanhaiguan.

What Zheng Jing needs to do now is to recapture the entire Yongping Prefecture as much as possible.

Then you can wait for the good news that your father will restore the capital.

It's just a matter of time, Zheng Jing just needs to wait.

As for General Gan Huigan, it will not take long to come to meet him, and Zheng Jing will be able to better gather troops to garrison Yongping Prefecture.

As for attacking Shanhaiguan, there is no need to rush for a while. After all, there will be some matters such as His Majesty's move to the capital in the future.

Winter is about to begin, and the Ming army, who has been fighting for more than half a year, also needs time to rest.

Zheng Jing estimated that His Majesty the Emperor would not be so rushing to attack Liaodong.

If you really want to fight, it will be the beginning of spring next year.

Besides, this kind of thing is what the court wants, so he should not express too much opinions.

Daming, Daming, you finally stood up.

Until this moment, Zheng Jing still felt that everything was like a dream.
