"Pap!" Two crisp sounds!
Chang Ning's smooth and tender face suddenly felt a burning sensation...it hurt!
He subconsciously covered his face and looked up at the person who had just slapped him twice, not daring to get angry...because the person who slapped him was none other than his royal grandmother Bumu Butai!
The old lady is also a bad person who has grown old. After beating the person, she still looked righteous. Her little eyes were round and she glared at Chang Ning and asked sternly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Chang Ning was frightened by the old lady and immediately knelt down, trembling and not daring to speak.
The old lady said angrily: "When the building is about to collapse, not only are you unable to turn the tide, but you are also causing trouble for your brother. What are you worried about?"
"I, I, I..." Chang Ning was sweating profusely and knelt down in front of the old grandmother with a plop!
His current identity...is a true first-class sub-emperor! If the emperor is gone, it is his turn to take over!
This is not a daydream, but an inevitable choice when the building is about to collapse!
If Kangxi was killed in Henan, how could the old lady choose one of Kangxi's two youngest sons to ascend the throne?
Now that the Qing Dynasty is in trouble, of course it is Lai Changjun who will win the country!
So now Chang Ning is the actual "Emperor's younger brother"... How can the old lady not scare him into having a heart attack by saying "What are you worried about?"
"You! You're stupid..." The old lady saw that her grandson was frightened to death, so she had no choice but to sigh softly and said softly, "Chang Ning, I'm still hiding things about Beijing from your brother. .....And I also wrote to the family members of the ministers in charge of the Eight Banners New Army who forced them to run out from the inner city to the Henan front line to report that they were safe. The Queen and I also wrote a letter to your brother to report that he was safe. The purpose is In order to help your brother stabilize his military morale... no matter what, he must hold on until the battle of Zhuxian Town is over! If your brother returns to the army in a hurry now, Wu Yingqi and Wu Guogui will pursue him with all their strength.
And the Henan army must be in panic now. If they are pursued again when they return to the army, the whole army may be wiped out! The Eight Banners New Army in Henan is the foundation of our Qing Dynasty... Once it fails, the Qing Dynasty will be over! "
I have to say that it was difficult for this old lady to suppress the scene. This is the case in Beijing, and she is still blocking the news as much as possible to prevent Emperor Kangxi's army from disintegrating on the front line.
The main means of long-distance communication these days are writing letters and word of mouth.
The main force of Kangxi's Eight Banners New Army is now on the front line in Henan. They are in a state of war. There are not many means of communication with the rear. It is impossible for ordinary messengers to enter the war zone. After all, there are a large number of Qing army cavalry around Zhuxian Town. activities, one of their important tasks is to blockade the battlefield to cut off the communication between Wu Yingqi and Wu Sangui.
And the official post is now blocked by the old lady - the people she sends out to deliver letters are the most reliable yellow mantles, and these yellow mantles only deliver the letters to the post station in Baoding and are not allowed to go further south.
Although Baoding already knew that Beijing was attacked by the Mongols, they did not know the specific situation.
In this case, as long as the yellow jackets sent by Bumbutai are strict enough, they can delay the spread of bad news.
As for the messengers at Baoding Station who delivered the "safety report" letters to Henan, even if they were not strict enough, it would not be a big problem... After all, these people were not witnesses of the incident in Beijing. They themselves were hearsay. . Moreover, Kangxi could also use some thunderous means to control the speed of the spread of the truth.
In addition, the cavalry dispatched by these Baoding Stations will not go directly to the front of the army. They went as far as Changyuan County on the north bank of the Yellow River, and didn't even reach the border of Henan Province!
The letters they delivered to the post station in Changyuan County would not be forwarded to the military front, but to Kangxi's office in Kaifeng Prefecture.
In other words, this news had already changed hands several times when it reached the army front in Zhuxian Town from Beijing... How can a piece of news that has been passed through several hands and no one knows whether it is true or false compare with a handwritten letter from a family member? ?
Of course, paper cannot contain the fire after all!
But city walls can!
Seeing that his grandson already knew that he was wrong, Bumubutai didn't have any trouble for him. He sighed and said: "You can't take the Forbidden City, right? Then send troops to Fuchengmen, Xizhimen, Chaoyangmen, Dongzhimen, Anding Seize all the gates... After seizing them, put some more flags on them to make sure people know that our Qing Dynasty has firmly controlled fifteen of the seventy-six gates in Beijing!"
Those city gates have been abandoned by Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong. They now control a Desheng Gate... This is actually a big mistake!
Although it was enough to control one Desheng Gate, voluntarily giving up so many castles (those gates had urns) showed cowardice, which was tantamount to letting Bumbutai see his trump card.
Once the Qing army planted their flags on the gate towers of these city gates, they could greatly stabilize people's hearts.
Moreover, people who were "watching the fun" around Beijing saw that most of the city gates in Beijing had flags of the Qing Dynasty, and they would also think that the Qing Dynasty had already controlled the situation in Beijing...
...
Qianqing Palace, late at night.
Geng Jingzhong was crying with Emperor Kangxi's favorite concubine Ma Jiashi at this time!
Although Ma Jiashi is not a famous woman, she is Kang Mazi's "first love"...but "sweet"!
In the original history, she gave birth to five sons and one daughter for Emperor Kangxi during the ten years she was favored. Although only one of the emperor's third sons, Yinzhi and the third daughter of the emperor, Princess Gu Lunrongxian, survived, the rate of giving birth to six children in ten years was still Very impressive.
And when Burni sent his army to attack the Forbidden City, this Ma Jia family was taking care of his son Saiyin Chahun personally because he was ill. As a result, he was not notified of "turning into the Eighth Alley" in time, and was captured by the Mongolians in Burni.
And the Mongolians who captured her accidentally killed the sick Saiyinchahun...
Ma Jiashi was really heartbroken now. She had just lost her son and could never see her beloved Mazi again. She really wanted to die.
At this time, Geng Jingzhong actually came to sleep with her and refused to let her die!
Ma Jiashi had no choice but to cry.
And when she cried... Geng Jingzhong also started crying too!
Why did Geng Jingzhong cry?
We are both fallen people from the end of the world!
Geng Jingzhong's wives were all captured by Zhu Heji's army, and the whereabouts of his sons are also unknown. They probably died in the rebellion.
After being taken to Beijing, because he was a "mad king", he couldn't marry again. He was left alone there. Would you say he was sad or not?
Geng Jingzhong and Ma Jiashi were hugging each other and crying together. Suddenly they heard a clanging sound outside. They didn't know what happened? Just as he was about to go out and take a look, suddenly the door of Dongnuang Pavilion where he slept was pushed open, and then he saw Shang Zhixin entering with a few soldiers carrying a plaque.
Seeing Geng Jingzhong and Ma Jiashi crying together, Shang Zhixin smiled and asked, "Why are you two crying? Aren't you sleeping? Why are you crying together? Is it not possible?"
When Geng Jingzhong heard this, he glared at Shang Zhixin: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why can't I do it? I'm thinking of something sad... In addition, Mrs. Ma Jia is also a poor person, and I won't allow you to bully her. !”
"Okay, okay...a woman!" Shang Zhixin waved his hand indifferently, "It's almost time, we should go!"
"Leave?" Geng Jingzhong was still a little reluctant, and then he saw the plaque carried by the soldiers behind Shang Zhixin, "This plaque is..."
"What an upright and bright plaque!" Shang Zhixin said with a smile, "The two of us can be regarded as the two-day masters of the Forbidden City. We should do something as we go before leaving, right?"
"It should, it should..." Geng Jingzhong thought something wrong, "You took away the upright and upright plaque, why should I follow it?"
"The plaque of the Great Qing Sect!" Shang Zhixin said with a smile, "I've already asked someone to take it off... Let's do it together!"
"Okay," Geng Jingzhong nodded and asked, "Then we leave, what will happen to the Forbidden City? Is there anyone left behind?"
"Yes!" Shang Zhixin said, "It has been arranged!"
"who?"
"Emperor Chongzhen!"
