"What? Kang, Emperor Kangxi? How could it be Kangxi? The contract clearly mentioned Shunzhi!"
When Zhu Cihong learned that the Shunzhi he had "ordered" had been transferred to Kangxi, he had already entered the Deshengmen Urn in Beijing.
Because Shang Kexi and Kong Tingxun suddenly withdrew their troops, the battle in the north of Beijing turned into a one-sided massacre, with corpses scattered everywhere, and even more Qing soldiers were captured, as many as ten or twenty thousand!
After killing and capturing the traitors outside the city, Yan Yingyuan mobilized his troops to attack the city again. Taking advantage of the panic of the Qing army, he occupied all the barbicans, fortresses and gates in the North City of Beijing.
So that night, Zhu Cihong tied up his imperial tent in the Deshengmen Urn City.
The last time he came to Deshengmen Urn City was the fourteenth year of Chongzhen. In the blink of an eye, eleven years have passed... Time flies!
The young prince who was eleven years ago has now grown into a hero, but even if he is a hero, he still cannot get what he wants in many cases.
For example, this time, he clearly wanted a Shunzhi, but he also spent a lot of money to provide a three-generation hereditary military envoy and a two-generation hereditary deputy military envoy. As a result, Shunzhi said there was no one and they were gone. Shang Kexi and Kong Tingxun These two "traitors" were only willing to pay Kangxi as compensation... Where can we comment on this matter?
"Long live the Lord, the two princes... No, the two generals also tried their best, but Fulin would rather burn himself than surrender, so he was burned alive in Qianfo Temple... ...So the two generals had no choice but to blame Xuan Ye. Actually, they are all the same, they are both the emperors of Donglu, they are all the same."
"Yes, yes, it's all the same... Emperor Kangxi's accession to the throne was complete. He was granted the title of crown prince first. There was also a posthumous edict, and it was Shunzhi's own handwriting and stamped with a jade seal. By the way, a jade seal can also be used. And presented it, which is said to be the traditional jade seal that Tuohuan Tiemuer, Emperor Huizong of the Yuan Dynasty, took with him when he fled north..."
The two people who stammered to explain were Kong Sibao and Shang Zhixiao. Emperor Zhu was very dissatisfied with their explanation. Can Kangxi and Shunzhi be the same? Kangxi was touted as the emperor of the ages by later generations, but Shunzhi did not receive such treatment. Moreover, Kangxi's lifespan was also long, sixty-one years!
But that was in history. How old is Kangxi now? It’s not even enough for a baby! If it’s not enough, give me a stone (a jade seal passed down from the country)? Isn’t this too confusing?
"Where are Shang Kexi and Kong Tingxun?" Zhu Cixiang said with a cold face, "Why don't you come and explain to me yourself? Why do you still defend the imperial city and fight against my army?"
It turned out that the Qing Dynasty in Beijing was not over yet. Shang Kexi and Kong Tingxun packed up the remnants and retreated into the Imperial Fortress in Beijing - the Beijing Fortress was amazing, with a total of three floors inside and outside. The Ming army has only captured the outermost bastion, and there are still two layers of bastions inside that have not been broken!
Moreover, the Imperial City Fortress and Meishan Fortress in Beijing are smaller and require correspondingly fewer defenders, making them more difficult to break than the outer bastions.
After knowing that they had no way to deliver the goods in accordance with the contract, Shang Kexi and Kong Tingxun had no choice but to stick to the imperial fortress, just to make Emperor Zhu accept the result of Kangxi's replacement with Shunzhi.
"Your Majesty, the two princes are not guarding the imperial city to fight against the heavenly soldiers. They just want Kangxi to make up for twelve hours!" Kong Sibao is also a person who can make nonsense. He actually made up an excuse now, "With ten In two hours, Xuan Ye has been the emperor for a day, and there can be a few more words in the "Records of Kangxi"..."
When returning the "Records of Kangxi", Emperor Zhu thought to himself: What are you recording? When did the Emperor nurse, when did he cry, when did the Queen Mother spank him?
"Moreover," Kong Sibao said again, "If there was no Kangxi Emperor in the Qing Dynasty, then Shunzhi, who was burned to ashes, would be the last emperor... Would he rather die than surrender and be reduced to ashes? Isn't that too strong?"
"Was Fulin really burned to ashes?" Zhu Cixiang paused, "Did he have a fire escape?"
"No, no... Fulin will definitely be burned to ashes!"
"Yes, yes, yes, it has been burned to death. It is absolutely impossible to escape from fire!"
Kong Sibao and Shang Zhixiao all said in unison that Shunzhi was dead. This caliber was arrived at after repeated research by Shang Kexi and Kong Tingxun.
In fact, they also suspected that Shunzhi had "escaped", but Shunzhi had completed all the procedures before he "escaped", which showed that he had premeditated it...mostly because he wanted to be free and easy after evaporating from the world. ——In fact, he has no other way out. It is not possible to seek refuge outside the customs. Duduo cannot tolerate him at all. There was no way to survive if he was thrown into the grassland. The Mongolians on the grassland never regarded him as the real Khan. If he did go, he would be a gift to the Ming Emperor.
As for Datong Mansion, they can't even go... Jierhalang and Chang Adai were being forced by Zhu Cixiang to hand over Datong to Tumochuan. Fulin sent them to the door, just in time to serve as Emperor Zhu's A gift to beg for mercy - after sending Fulin, even if they still have to go to Tumochuan, they can still ask for more financial aid from Zhu Cihong.
After much deliberation, Fulin seemed to have no choice but to find a place to hide, and being a hermit living in the mountains was the most reliable option. Fulin has been an emperor no matter what, and he also has an amma who can save money. There are a lot of yellow and white things stored in the warehouse of Meishan Castle. Taking out a few hundred kilograms of gold is enough for Fulin to live happily for a lifetime. ...
Since Fulin can only live in seclusion, Shang Kexi and Kong Tingxun simply bite Fulin to death. In this way, they have partially fulfilled the contract, and adding Kangxi will be enough.
At this time, Zhu Cihong also thought that Fulin would probably never appear again - as long as Fulin did not appear, then he would be considered dead politically and historically!
As for him hiding alone and enjoying himself, Zhu Cixiang had no intention of tracing him. He was not worried about someone trying to rebel against the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Therefore, Shang Kexi and Kong Tingxun have completed part of the contract. If Zhu Cihong breaks the contract now, it will always be a bit unreasonable.
Emperor Zhu thought for a while and said: "Let's do this...I will write another supplementary agreement. The general content is that Shang Kexi and Kong Tingxun guarantee that Fulin is dead. If Fulin appears in the future, the two of them will He must resign and go into seclusion, and his descendants are no longer allowed to inherit the official position. If the two of them agree, then before dark tomorrow, Xuan Ye, his mother Tong Jia, and the imperial seal of the country will be sent to Deshengmen Come to Wengcheng.
In addition, when you go back, have a good talk with Tong Jia and tell her not to be too sad. I am a benevolent king and will never harm orphans and widows. After Xuan Ye surrenders, I will make him a Marquis of Yanen, and he will be hereditary. "
Of course, it is impossible for Shang Kexi, Kong Tingxun, and Tong Jia to refuse the conditions offered by Renjun. So on October 23, the first year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, at three o'clock in the hour, the Qing Dynasty finally ushered in its end ahead of schedule!
As soon as the third quarter of the hour passed, Bei'anmen, the north gate of the Imperial City Bastion, was pushed open, and then a vast white mass was seen slowly pouring out of Bei'anmen. These are the remnants of the Qing Dynasty who wear sackcloth and pay filial piety - they are paying filial piety to the Shunzhi Emperor who was "burned to ashes". The leaders were Shang Kexi and Kong Tingxun. They were also dressed in white. They grinned and cried loudly as they walked. I wonder if it was because of guilt? Anyway, it looks pretty sad!
Following the two of them was a group of traitor soldiers, all armed with weapons. After leaving the city gate, they dropped the weapons they carried on an open space on the roadside, and soon several large piles were built.
Because Emperor Zhu had a golden sign of trustworthiness, these traitor soldiers who had surrendered their weapons did not worry about being massacred by the Ming army. However, at this time, they did not expect how deceptive the territory arranged for them by Emperor Zhu was - on the Duogan Festival There are two small chieftains on the territory of Dushisi who historically cost Emperor Qianlong 70 million taels of silver. One is called Da Jinchuan and the other is called Xiao Jinchuan...
After Shang Kexi and Kong Tingxun took their disarmed soldiers and turned around at Shuntianfu Street and headed towards Dongzhimen Wengcheng, the protagonists of today's surrender drama should come on stage, that is, Tong Jia, who is holding the coffin, and Tong Jia, who was killed by Tong Jia. The young Emperor Kangxi was holding in his arms, as well as a small number of Qing officials following behind them.
Tong Jia will hold Kangxi in her arms, and under the watchful eyes of the Ming army fusiliers with live ammunition on both sides of the street, they will walk to the Deshengmen Urn City to ask for surrender and mercy from the Emperor of Tomorrow, and offer a legend symbolizing the highest power of the Qing Dynasty. National jade seal.
