Taking advantage of the darkness, Fuquan, escorted by Anxi General He Ye and Anton General Hulibu, two young generals of the Eight Banners, began to advance towards Guangcheng Pass.
Although Nan Qing still had more than 30,000 troops on its books, they fled overnight after all, and most of them wanted to take advantage of the chaos to leave after learning that Xuanyuan Pass had been conquered.
Marching at night is extremely difficult, and the military quality of the Southern Qing Army is not very high, so it is a mess. Now that they set off suddenly and were still defeated, it is naturally even worse.
The sky was dark, people were galloping and horses were roaring, and chaos began to spread. Fuquan was also suspicious. He felt that the wind was rustling and the grass and trees were in danger. The soldiers around him were also the same. They were very sensitive to the small frictions around them, which eventually turned into a burst of exclamation.
"The Ming army is coming to kill!"
"There are Ming troops everywhere, run!"
"Escort, escort!"
"..."
For some unknown reason, there was a commotion in the rear, and various shouts were heard. After Fuquan heard this, he panicked instantly, and the 'princes and nobles' who were following Fuquan were immediately in chaos and panic. All day long, everyone thought it was Daming who came to kill him.
"Run, run!"
Fuquan sat on Long Chu, shouting in panic.
After hearing Fuquan's words, the heroic Anxi general He Ye no longer cared about the princes and nobles. He leaped on his horse and raised his gun, shouting at Fuquan: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will protect your Majesty!"
Having said that, the heroic Anxi General He Ye personally drove Long Chu and fled with all his strength, while the half-blind old eunuch was squeezed into Long Chu's forehead, protecting the trembling Yulong Emperor Fuquan behind him, and fled towards the front. .
Only He Ye's confidants, the Eight Banners Soldiers, followed him, but there were only a few hundred blue flag cavalry.
After all, there are only two blue flags left that can follow Fuquan.
The Green Camp soldiers had already taken advantage of the chaos to flee, and those who didn't want to do anything planned to return to their hometowns to farm. Those who were quick-thinking were already preparing to summon the running Green Camp soldiers to surrender to the Ming Dynasty as an organized army, which would also give them a better future.
Fuquan, who had fled all the way, was moving forward, heading to Guangcheng Pass on a starry night.
It wasn't until the sky turned bright that Long Hu of Emperor Yulong Fuquan hurried to the outside of Guangcheng Pass. After looking at the majestic pass, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
He finally arrived at Guangcheng Pass.
"Quick, let them open the door!"
Suddenly, Emperor Yulong Fuquan spoke immediately and said to He Ye beside him.
Anton's general Hulibu disappeared in the chaos last night. Now Fuquan can only trust He Ye beside him.
He Ye heard this and immediately sent a scout with eight flags and blue flags to negotiate.
Guangcheng Pass also discovered this situation early. The guard of Guangcheng Pass was Liu Wenkai of the Eight Banners of the Han Army. He was a civilian official. However, due to the shortage of military attachés in the Southern Qing Dynasty, he was ordered to guard Guangcheng Pass in the face of danger.
Liu Wenkai didn't like to dance with guns or sticks. When he suddenly heard what the scout with the blue flag said, he was instantly shocked: "What, you mean the Ming army is coming?!"
"yes."
After the blue-flag scout drank three ladles of water, he panted and said to Liu Wenkai: "The situation is extremely urgent now. Quickly turn on the switch to welcome the emperor in. If the Ming army comes to kill you and me, our lives will be at risk!"
Hearing the scout's words, Liu Wenkai couldn't help but have a thought in his heart, and then scolded: "Come here, capture this thief!"
After saying that, the swordsman beside him immediately appeared and captured the frightened scout with the blue flag.
The scout was shocked and shouted angrily: "Liu Wenkai, what do you want to do?! Don't forget, you are here today only because of the emperor's grace! If not, at your age, you would still be working in Luoyang A small subordinate!"
"Hmph! I'm so talented. If I were in the Ming Dynasty, I would have joined the cabinet and become a bachelor long ago, and would have been worshiped as a minister of six departments!"
Liu Wenkai immediately reprimanded: "Now that the Ming Dynasty has made a comeback and Emperor Jiajing has returned to the world, how can I be loyal to you and other Tartars?!"
Liu Wenkai had been depressed in the Qing Dynasty. He had been a county magistrate in his early years, but he offended the nobles of the Eight Banners, so he was sent to Luoyang to work as a minor official. In his forties, he was still struggling with five buckets of rice.
He likes reading, and naturally knows a lot about the Ming Dynasty. He envies the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty. He feels that being an official in the Ming Dynasty is called an official. If he was born in the Ming Dynasty, he would definitely be a great official.
Now, although he was slightly promoted, he was still a military attache. This made Liu Wenkai feel that all his ambitions had been misused, and he was even more dissatisfied.
Now, I naturally feel that I have done a great job.
Liu Wenkai laughed loudly, and then ordered the adjutants on his left and right: "Capture the little emperor Fuquan and present it to His Majesty the Ming Dynasty. Both you and I have made great contributions!"
After saying that, Liu Wenkai did not hesitate and took the lead to cut off the braid and threw the broken braid to the ground with disgust in his eyes.
…
After dawn, the chaos in Luoyang has been calmed down.
All the Green Camp soldiers who participated in last night's turmoil and took the opportunity to rob Luoyang will be executed without leaving any survivors, even if they surrender.
Zhu Houcong didn't like this kind of green camp soldiers who were hiding in a nest. Even if they were recruited to surrender, he would not let such green camp soldiers surrender.
"Luoyang."
This is Zhu Houcong's first time in Luoyang... If it weren't for this national war function, Zhu Houcong has never been to a place too far away. For example, the original Emperor Jiajing only stayed in Jingmen, where Prince Xing's Mansion is located, and where the capital of Ming Dynasty is located. of Beijing.
Next to Zhu Houcong, Huang Jin said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Qing general who resisted in the south of the city has been killed. The prisoners on the left and right called him Hulibu. This man was extremely brave. If it hadn't been for the volley of musketeers, otherwise he would have been killed." It’s still hard to get close.”
Huli cloth.
I do remember this name, Zhu Houcong. During the Third Rebellion, he made great contributions in pacifying Wu Sangui. He was a rare and brave general in the Kangxi Dynasty and was awarded the title of Batulu.
But it's useless. Now that he dies here, he can only be taken to a mass grave.
Nowadays, generals of this level are not even qualified to be recorded in the battle record.
"Your Majesty, General Nong's and Bingbi's troops encountered the enemy guard general of Hulao Pass this morning. They have defeated the defenders coming out of Hulao Pass and advanced towards Hulao."
Huang Jin then said with a smile: "There is also good news. Liu Wenkai of Guangcheng Pass has written a surrender letter and captured the young emperor Yulong Emperor Fuquan of the Qing Dynasty!"
After hearing the second piece of news, Zhu Houcong managed to gain some energy. After making a sound of surprise, he regretfully said: "I originally wanted to give little Xuanzi a way out, and I hope he can be able to make meritorious deeds during this period." , if you want to blame, blame his second brother for being arrested by me so quickly."
Although Zhu Houcong did not want Xiao Xuanzi to die, after all, he originally planned to keep it until the end of the National War and conduct a public auction in the Ming Emperor's chat group. The highest bidder would get it.
After all, this is the first captured Manchu emperor, so it is of great commemorative value. It would be good to buy it back to clean the toilet.
But now, Xiao Xuanzi actually wants to rebel against the Ming Dynasty and restore the Qing Dynasty, and has even taken action. If he cannot be punished and make meritorious service, then he must be left alone.
If Xiao Xuanzi is not punished, won't every surrendered general understand that Ming Dynasty treats rebellion so easily, and when everyone rebels, won't Zhu Houcong be busy to death?
Rewards and punishments must be clear!
Even people who are very close to him cannot be knighted without merit!
And those who have committed heinous crimes must be dealt with even if Zhu Houcong doesn't want to!
"Let Liu Wenkai escort Fuquan and others to Luoyang. After they come to Luoyang, there is no need to see me. They will be sent directly to the cleansing room. Xiao Xuanzi is leaving, so let Xiao Quanzi come and go with him. It is better than nothing."
Zhu Houcong yawned and said casually: "When Xi'an is captured, Yue Le will not need to go to the ablution room, but can directly perform the Fa on the spot... He is old, and it is not convenient for him to do ablution at such an old age."
Naturally, the smaller the body is, the better. But since Yue Le is so old, he must fail to purify himself. Instead of bleeding to death due to failed purification, he might as well be cut to pieces.
The latter is more painful than the former, and the latter can also be cleaned at the last moment.
Zhu Houcong suddenly thought of something, his eyes became cold for a while, and then he said: "By the way, have those rebels been dealt with?"
"Your Majesty, the matter has been notified to superiors at all levels and is being processed."
Lu Bing, who was motionless at the side, suddenly stood up and saluted Zhu Houcong.
"good."
Zhu Houcong nodded, then stretched, looking at the city of Luoyang illuminated by the sun, he couldn't help but feel that the world was changing.
"Since Guangcheng Pass has surrendered, the army will go south and enter Jingxiang!"
…
Tu Mo, the Admiral of the Manchuria Battalion who was in charge of clearing out the Nanqing cities in Henan that had not surrendered, turned pale instantly after receiving the secret letter from Jin Yiwei.
Without any hesitation, he immediately raised his voice and said: "Let Tong Jia Hezhang come to see me and say that a military meeting is being held. Let him come to the meeting!"
After hearing Tu Mo's voice, two Manchurian soldiers immediately went to summon Tong Jia Hezhang.
And Tong Jia Hezhang didn't know that the emperor Aixinjueluo Xuanye to whom he was loyal had inadvertently sold him. He was still patrolling his military camp, thinking about the future of the Qing Dynasty.
Although most people are afraid of life and death, Tong Jia Hezhang, who comes from a famous family, will never be afraid of life and death.
The reason why I endured the humiliation and endured the heavy burden was all for the sake of hiding and for the sake of the Qing Dynasty!
Thinking of this, Tong Jia Hezhang couldn't help but clenched his fists and took a deep breath.
"He Zhang, the admiral asked you to go to the big tent for a meeting and tell us about His Majesty's new decree to transfer us to Jingxiang."
Suddenly, a disciple of the Eighth Banners smiled and spoke to Hezhang. After Hezhang heard this, he had no idea and hurriedly prepared to go to see Tu Mo.
After all, military meetings have been held almost every day these days. Although he didn't know what to hold, Tu Mo said that this was the habit of the 12th Regiment Battalion of the Ming Army, so the Manchuria Battalion should also learn from it.
Hezhang was very contemptuous of this kind of behavior. He felt that Tu Mo had been domesticated by the Han people and his bones were gone, but he still had to look respectful on the outside.
Hezhang walked towards Tu Mo's military council hall. When Hezhang reached the main door of the main hall, a group of Eight Banners soldiers wearing Eight Banners armor suddenly rushed out from around him. Before Hezhang could react, they directly handed Hezhang to him. Hold!
Seeing this scene, He Zhang was shocked and annoyed, and then shouted loudly: "I'm here to hold a military meeting, what are you going to do?!"
After that, Hezhang began to struggle. Although Hezhang went with the army, his physical fitness was not at the level of 'Batulu'. There were many Eight Banners soldiers around him, so he couldn't struggle at all.
Seeing that he could not break free, Hezhang immediately shouted: "I don't accept it, what crime am I guilty of?!"
"snort."
Tu Mo snorted coldly, walked out of the military council hall, and scolded Hezhang: "Hezhang, you hid it well. Xiao Xuanzi has already confessed! You are a spy! Whoever comes, drag him out and behead him. He will be there soon." His head was quickly sent to Luoyang and presented to His Majesty, along with my apology letter!"
"no--"
After a bloody human head was chopped off, Manzhouying could be said to be familiar with the road. It was immediately pickled and processed, and then rushed to Luoyang.
They are experts in beheading and such!
Similar situations to Manchuria Camp are happening all over the country, but they are obviously not as skilled as Manchuria Camp in terms of pickling and preservatives, which wastes a lot of time.
As for Luoyang, Fuquan was also escorted to Luoyang, his former capital.
He never expected that the minister he appointed would betray him.
Now he has nothing and has become a prisoner of Ming Dynasty.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. There is nothing to say.
Fuquan now just wants to meet the Emperor Jiajing, who is said to be from more than a hundred years ago, and find out what is going on.
But the further he walked, the more Fuquan felt something was wrong.
This is not the road to the palace at all, but the road to the eunuch's residence!
He is very familiar.
Because after Luoyang was established as the capital, there were no eunuchs in the city, so Fuquan searched for more than 300 smart children from all over the country to become eunuchs in the palace, and selected more than 500 beautiful palace maids.
Therefore, there are many eunuch residences in the capital city of Luoyang.
Along the way, more and more eunuchs gathered here, and their eyes were full of resentment towards Fuquan.
Fuquan realized something was wrong.
Fuquan panicked and immediately shouted: "Where are you taking me? The emperor must behave like an emperor. Where is Zhu Houcong? Let him come to see me!"
"Snapped!"
Before Fuquan could finish speaking, he felt a burning pain on his face, and there was a red slap mark on his fair and tender cheek, which was slapped by the Jin Yiwei who was escorting Fuquan.
The Jin Yiwei looked at Fu Quan coldly: "You, a slave, dare to call His Majesty by his name, you should be beaten!"
Another Jin Yiwei also said coldly: "My Ming Dynasty only recognizes one Qing Emperor, and that is Kangxi Emperor Xuan Ye. You are just a trespasser, and you are worthy of seeing His Majesty?"
Fuquan was stunned. No one had dared to hit him like this since he was a child.
Then, Jin Yiwei did not compete with him, and was directly escorted into the cleansing room by Fuquan.
Fuquan stumbled and collapsed directly to the ground, with stars in his eyes. He raised his head slightly, only to find several old eunuchs holding knives and looking at him indifferently.
One of them was actually a half-blind old eunuch who drove him!
Before Fuquan could recover, two young and strong eunuchs had already stepped forward, captured Fuquan, and then locked him firmly on the wooden board. Then, the old eunuchs Then they came towards Fuquan one by one, with a ferocious smile on their faces.
"No--!!!"
With a burst of desperate screams, a brand new father-in-law was born.
…
A few days later, Xiao Xuanzi, who had been imprisoned in a prison, closed his eyes and rested his mind. Suddenly, he heard a sound coming from his ears, and then a familiar figure was thrown into the prison car next to him.
"Xiao Guizi, these two people will be left in your care. If they escape or have any other accidents, you will be fully responsible!"
"Zhe, I understand, Eunuch Huang, please walk slowly, you are lucky~!"
"..."
After a few short words, Xiao Guizi appeared in front of Xiao Xuanzi and Xiao Quanzi, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of elation.
Okay, okay, the slave turned over and sang!
"Isn't this the former emperor? Isn't this the former Prince Yu? Why are you two nobles so embarrassed now?"
Xiao Guizi looked at the two people in the prison and couldn't help but smile.
After hearing Xiao Guizi's words, Xiao Xuanzi couldn't help but be startled. Then he turned to look at the prison next door, and immediately felt sad in his heart.
The person next to him turned out to be his elder brother, Prince Yu Fuquan, later Emperor Yulong Fuquan!
"Second brother, second brother!"
Xiao Xuanzi ignored Xiao Guizi's sarcastic gaze and shouted immediately, but Fuquan responded to Xiao Xuanzi with a look that was worse than death.
"Okay, Xiao Xuanzi, take good care of Xiao Quanzi. When Xi'an is conquered, you two brothers will go on the road together."
Xiao Guizi looked at Xiao Xuanzi and Xiao Quanzi and said with a smile: "Of course, His Majesty also said that if you can make some meritorious deeds, you can be exempted from the death penalty... Let's discuss it with your good brothers these days. I guess I can make some contribution."
After saying that, Xiao Guizi casually brought two bowls of rotten rice and threw it directly into the prison as if feeding a dog. He said contemptuously: "It's all your fault. There is no leftover food for the rhubarb guard tonight. Just eat quickly and think about it carefully."
After saying that, Xiao Guizi waved her sleeves and twisted her buttocks, trying to please the jailer.
Looking at the rotten rice on the ground that was obviously half eaten by dogs, Xiao Xuanzi clenched his fists.
When Xiao Quanzi saw this situation, he couldn't help but sigh deeply. Although his lower body was hurting, he still spoke and comforted: "Imperial brother, don't be afraid. Although I...even though I was arrested, Mama Huang has already I went to Yue Le with the Imperial Seal, and I heard that Wu Sangui also established a branch as the emperor, and our Qing Dynasty will never be destroyed easily."
And after waiting for a long time, Xiao Quanzi didn't wait for Xiao Xuanzi's reply.
He looked at Xiao Xuanzi in surprise, only to find that Xiao Xuanzi's eyes were fixed on the rotten rice gathering dust on the ground.
Seeing this, Xiao Quanzi couldn't help but be shocked and said: "Xuan Ye, you don't want to eat this kind of dog food, do you?! You are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, you can't do this!"
Xiao Xuanzi, who had been hungry for several days, was already ravenous. He turned a deaf ear to Xiao Quanzi's words. He immediately got angry, grabbed the rotten rice and stuffed it into his mouth. At the same time, he comforted himself in his heart: "Just eat, what's the big deal." of!"
"Back then, Gou Jian was able to eat his guts while sleeping on his salary, and I am eating dog food the same way today! Everything is for the restoration of the Qing Dynasty, and everything is for the future of the Qing Dynasty!"
After taking three big bites with tears in his eyes, he suddenly felt a sweet taste.
Xiao Xuanzi was stunned for a moment. He didn't know whether he was starving after not eating for a long time, or whether he really thought the rotten rice was delicious. He said in a strange way:
"This dog food is quite delicious."
A little confused, thinking about the future.
