In the 19th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, on the fifth day of March, Beijing.
"I am so angry that the rain stops when I lean on the railing. I look up and roar to the sky, my heart is full of passion. Thirty years of fame and dust, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon..."
On the broad plain east of Beijing, the Ming army infantrymen from eight towns formed sixty-four battalion-level columns, divided into eight lines, dragging artillery and rocket launchers, singing "Man Jiang Hong", and followed by The rhythmic sound of drums and drums marched towards the city of Beijing in neat steps.
On the two wings of these eight infantry groups were large groups of cavalry, including loose Mongolian light cavalry and strict Ming army cuirassiers. The number had exceeded 10,000, covering the flanks of the army airtight. There are Ming armies on the ground, and of course there are Ming armies in the sky - the Ming armies are now heavenly soldiers, so of course they have to go to heaven. A total of four hot air balloons have risen into the sky.
Although there are no weapons on these hot air balloons, the four huge spheres floating in the air belonging to the Ming Dynasty will certainly put great pressure on the Qing army guarding Beijing!
The Ming army's rocket launchers, which arrived at the launch site in advance, had already started firing intrusively. Six six-unit multiple rocket launchers fired three or six sugar-powder rockets in one salvo... Although there was no accuracy, this momentum was Still quite bluffing!
There were almost no defenders on the east wall of Beijing - most of Wang Fuchen's men were hiding in shelters under the city wall. Only a small number of sentries went up to the city wall, hiding in bunkers built with sandbags, watching with horrified eyes. The siege troops of the Ming Army slowly approached with overwhelming momentum.
Of course, there are some people on the Qing army who are not afraid. Kangxi is not afraid! He is now taking his good brother Chang Ning with him to set up a table of wine under the arrow tower in Dongzhimen. While drinking, he is watching the appearance of the Ming army.
By the way, this is still a table of farewell drinks!
The Ming army has already reached the city and will not be able to leave if they don't leave.
Emperor Kangxi had already equipped his new army on the Zhenghuang Banner Road with all the horses, and also controlled the Anding Gate, the north gate of Beijing. According to the public plan, Prince Gong Chang Ning and Prince Yin Reng will escape from Beijing, which is about to be attacked, today under the protection of more than 10,000 soldiers of the New Army on Zhenghuang Banner Middle Road.
Before they fled, Kong Shenggong's 60,000 Lu Yong had already protected nearly 200,000 banner slaves, profiteers and craftsmen, as well as civil and military officials and Manchu nobles who gathered in Beijing. They left Beijing together and headed outside the city. And went. They have already left the Great Wall and should be on their way to Guihua City.
These two hundred thousand people, plus those who were deceived by Kangxi to go to Jingzhao Mansion earlier, plus those who were fished out from the hands of the Mongolian Chahar tribe, and the remnants of the troops who fled back to Guanzhong from the Xinye battlefield, In addition to the banner soldiers and bannermen under Shengjing General Bahai, as well as the more than 10,000 people in the middle of the Zhenghuang Banner, Kangxi's Qing Dynasty still had about a million people in the "inner heart"... Oh, It’s hard to say whether the Qing Dynasty belongs to Kangxi or Chang Ning!
Kangxi looked at the Ming army approaching slowly under the sun. The expression on his face was very calm. He just sighed softly and said to his brother Chang Ning, who was already trembling with fear from the Ming army's astonishing momentum: "Look, look. ...With such an army and such an enemy, is it my fault that the Qing Dynasty has fallen into this situation?"
"No, not really. Brother Huang, you have done a good enough job..."
Chang Ning's evaluation is undoubtedly objective and fair.
In fact, even Kangxi's mortal enemy Zhu Heji gave Kangxi a very high evaluation, believing that "this Kangxi" performed much better than "that Emperor Kangxi".
Under his hard work and training, the Qing army has transformed into one of the most powerful soldiers in the world, even far surpassing the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers in the era of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty!
However, this powerful Qing army under the leadership of Kangxi became stronger step by step by imitating their enemy, the new army of the New Ming Dynasty.
The New Army of the New Ming Dynasty has always had an overwhelming advantage over the Qing Army because of its three unshakable advantages: population base, economic strength and sugar production.
It is no exaggeration to say that the advantages of the new Ming Dynasty were so great that Kangxi felt desperate... After all, Kangxi's basic base was the hundreds of thousands of bannermen and slaves, while the Ming Dynasty's basic base was tens of millions of people.
In the era of sugar pills and queuing to be shot, there is strength in numbers!
Such a huge gap in strength made monarchs like Kangxi despair, and Chang Ning was certainly even more desperate!
"Brother Imperial, the traitor is so strong, what should I do next?"
Chang Ning had been eyeing his uncle's position as regent, but when he was about to leave Beijing to take power in Guihua City, he suddenly felt helpless and anxious.
The enemy is too powerful...can't beat it!
"Drink, drink... Today is the day when our two brothers part ways. We must get drunk before we rest!" As Kangxi spoke, he took out a milk-white porcelain wine jug and poured it for Chang Ning with his own hands. I got a large bowl of white wine that exuded a special fragrance and was a little yellow in color.
"This wine smells so good!" Chang Ning is also a good drinker. Now he is worried again, so he naturally wants to drink to drown his sorrows. So he picks up the wine bowl and drinks "gudong, gudong" regardless of the fact that he has to go on the road today. Go down.
After drinking it, Chang Ning felt that the wine was a bit strong!
"Hey, what kind of wine is this? Why do you feel dizzy after just one bowl?"
"Uuuu..." Kangxi cried, "Chang Ning, brother, I'm sorry for you!"
"Brother, are you sorry for me?" Chang Ning still didn't understand. He just felt sleepy coming towards him from all directions, "Brother, you haven't said what kind of wine this is..."
"This is Datura wine..."
"Oh, it's foreign devil wine, no wonder it's so strong..."
As he spoke, Chang Ning couldn't hold on anymore, closed his eyelids and fell asleep.
It turns out that Kangxi, a good brother of the Qing Dynasty, gave his brother Chang Ning to drink liquor with Datura essential oil added!
This datura essential oil was collected from a Confucian secret hall that was uncovered somewhere in the north by Sticky Rod. Its medicinal effect is truly incredible!
Seeing that his brother had been beaten, Kangxi wiped his tears and shouted: "Xiao Guizi!"
"The slave is here!"
Father-in-law Xiao Guizi arrived in response, bringing two other young eunuchs with him. Without waiting for Kangxi to give another order, they directly carried Chang Ning, who had fallen asleep, into the Dongzhimen Arrow Tower.
There are several eunuchs in the arrow tower, and they are all dressed in the uniforms of the Qing emperor. Without talking nonsense, a few people began to change Chang Ning's clothes into the emperor's regular clothes. After changing clothes, someone was responsible for putting makeup on Chang Ning - pockmarking his face.
After doing this, he put a melon-edge Ruyi hat on Chang Ning, and finally placed him on a royal chariot that had been prepared long ago.
Then, Xiao Guizi waved to the eunuchs: "Take her back to the palace!"
"嗻!"
These eunuchs were all the eunuchs who served Kangxi, and they were also secret agents at Sticky Rod!
Now the sticky pole department has developed a bit like Dongchang, and has become a secret service department controlled by Kangxi's close eunuchs!
While Chang Ning was being carried away, Xiao Guizi also changed her clothes. Instead of wearing the eunuch's robe, she wore the cotton armor and gun helmet of the Zhenghuang Banner New Army, and also carried a waist knife.
After changing his clothes, he immediately left the arrow tower and went to the place where Kangxi and Chang Ning were drinking.
Xiao Guizi saw that Emperor Kangxi had also put on cotton armor and a spear helmet with the help of the imperial guard Cao Yin, and transformed into an ordinary flag soldier.
It turns out that Emperor Kangxi had already planned a plan to kill Li Daotao!
Before Chang Ning left Beijing, he was paralyzed, put on the emperor's uniform and carried back to the Forbidden City. Kangxi put on the cotton-padded armor of the flag soldiers, and under the protection of Xiao Guizi, Cao Yin and others, quickly went to Andingmen to join the new army of Zhenghuang Banner Middle Road led by Duolong, and then fled Beijing together...
"Your Majesty, Prince Gong has returned to the palace..." Xiao Guizi came to Kangxi's side.
"Okay!" Kangxi was also unambiguous, nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go too! Let's meet Duolong!"
"嗻!"
