"Of course I have issued orders such as opening warehouses and releasing grain!"
Wang Dingjia said.
"Our Holy Gong Army has captured another granary. The Han people in this city are crying with hunger. If you order the granaries to be opened and stocked with grain, you will definitely be able to recruit hundreds of thousands more people to serve you."
Hundreds of thousands?
Kong Qingrong trembled all over.
so many people.
So many troops.
No one believes you if you are not Dong Zhuo.
And he also "supported" an emperor.
It was the trembling Seventeenth Prince Yonglin who was sitting in a high position, guarded by two strong men.
Yonglin once wanted to compete for the position of emperor.
But now he has given up.
Because the Qing Dynasty was in decline, he felt that he could not take over this class.
Secondly.
Although Emperor Qianlong did not say it explicitly.
But his attitude is very obvious, that is, he wants to appoint Yongyan, the older fifteenth brother, as his successor.
So during this period of time, Yonglin was basically drunk now, and all the rabbit men in the eight alleys visited it.
But who would have thought.
He actually became the emperor - after emerging from the bed of a rabbit in Bada Hutong, Yonglin was invited to the Shenggong Mansion, where it was announced that he was now the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
He also asked him to issue a decree requiring all the Eight Banners in the city to recognize his position as emperor, and he also had to go to the Forbidden City to ascend the throne.
This is ridiculous no matter how you think about it.
How could the Eight Banners nobles in the capital recognize Yonglin's throne in a daze?
But there is no way.
The support for Yonglin to become emperor is quite large in the capital.
The first is Yanshenggong Kong Qingrong.
He trains with the Shandong team and has great prestige among the Shandong people in the city.
Moreover, he also held a granary. In a capital city that was extremely short of food, he could gather troops if he had food, not to mention Duke Yan Sheng.
That is even more reassuring - Duke Yansheng is so honest. There are Dukes Yansheng who surrendered in history. How can there be Dukes Yansheng who rebelled?
The first emperor of the Qing Dynasty left a legacy to the honest Duke Yansheng.
Very reasonable.
Not to mention Han Chinese.
Even many poor bannermen in the outer city have joined Yan Shenggong's team.
I don’t know whether Emperor Qianlong was actually killed by the Ming army.
But it is obvious that he will have food to eat with Brother Seventeen.
soon.
In the capital, the hungry people formed a huge army. Their numbers suddenly overwhelmed the troops of Zhenghuang Banner and Jiumen Admiral who had been left by the Qing government in the capital. They seized the south, east, and west sides of the outer city. of three city walls.
"I never expected that the Emperor of Heaven would have such a skill! The Qing Dynasty deserves to be destroyed."
Sitting on the other side was Dong Gao, the Minister of Military and Aircraft, another "Minister of Guan Ming" of Qianlong.
He smiled wryly and shook his head.
Of course Dong Gao could see it.
The one who calls the shots here is not Yan Shenggong Kong Qingrong, but Wang Dingjia and Fang Ke.
These two people were obviously members of the Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, it was not just the two of them who infiltrated the capital in the Ming Dynasty, but at least a thousand people.
Now the Holy Gong Army is firmly in the hands of thousands of Ming Dynasty internal agents.
The rumors that Qianlong was beaten to death in the past few days should have come from them.
Now, hundreds of thousands of troops have been mobilized in the capital.
What an amazing method!
The marginalized Dong Gao did not go south with Qianlong, but stayed in the capital. However, Dong Gao who stayed in the capital had nothing to do. He just stayed in the mansion to have fun with Xinna's concubine.
Unexpectedly, it has suddenly skyrocketed now.
He became the chief military aircraft of the "Nanqing" that occupied the south of the capital.
But he, the chief military officer, was obviously speechless.
The capital is now in chaos, and many bannermen are confused about the situation. The two princes of the Aixinjueluo family started fighting. One side said that he had received the late emperor's order, and the other side angrily accused the other party of spreading rumors, saying that he was the only one. He is the true successor to the Qing throne.
The two sides have fought for several times in the city, with each winning and losing, but the one who has the upper hand is the "Holy Army" who struck first.
Although the Holy Duke Army could not capture the inner city - mainly due to lack of artillery.
But now the outer city has been occupied. ,
The announcement of the new emperor's enthronement was also posted.
Although I don’t know whether the emperor’s position is legal or not.
But now it seems
Emperor Qianlong was most likely really beaten to death!
Otherwise, these two princes wouldn't be so hasty and start fighting!
All of a sudden.
Many bannermen in the capital chose to wait and see what would happen - your brothers from the Aixinjueluo family would be beaten to death, but the throne still belongs to your family anyway.
Wait for the new master to come out.
Let’s go kowtow again.
"Is Huang Ama really dead?"
Inside the Forbidden City.
Seventeenth elder brother Yongyan frowned.
"Of course not, it's the rumor spread by Ni Ming's Jin Yiwei fanzi!"
He Lin, who currently controls more than 50,000 troops of the Zhenghuang Banner and the Nine Gate Admiral Battalion, shook her head and said.
"The army is still fighting fiercely with the Ming army in Baoding Mansion. How can it be so easy to determine the winner in a war involving hundreds of thousands of troops?" He Lin said.
not to mention.
Even if there is a winner.
It was really not that easy for Emperor Qianlong to die.
With hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen trying to protect Emperor Qianlong from escaping alone, the possibility that the Ming army would kill Qianlong on the battlefield was really very slim.
"Then what should we do now? Yonglin said that." Yongyan said that for a long time and didn't know how to describe his "rebellious" brother.
"Brother Seventeen was held hostage! Even Duke Yansheng Kong Qingrong might have been held hostage too!" He Lin took a deep breath and said.
"What we have to do now is to defend the inner city, and also transfer all the bannermen to Guihua City."
"Where is the capital?"
He Lin shook her head: "The capital can't be defended anymore!"
Of course I can't hold on.
Those Han people had already captured the outer city.
Now it seems.
It was a bad move to coerce the Han people into the city.
If the capital was still dominated by Manchus.
How could such a thing happen?
This fifteenth elder brother has not yet proclaimed himself emperor, but Qianlong is still a good filial son.
Delengtai escaped from the south gate, but the result was that the fifteenth prince was enthroned.
"Kong Qingrong and Dong Gao!!"
"Traitor! Rebel!!"
Qianlong, who was sitting in the sedan chair, was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
The news coming from inside the capital is too ridiculous.
Kong Qingrong, Duke of Yansheng, entered the Shandong regiment training camp. After mastering the Shandong regiment's training camp, he opened a granary and used the grain to recruit hundreds of thousands of Han men. He also controlled the seventeenth elder brother Yonglin.
In addition, it appeared in the city that he was killed by the Ming army, leaving behind a posthumous edict, naming Dong Gao and Kong Qingrong as ministers of Gu Ming, and supporting his seventeenth elder brother Yonglin as emperor.
This edict is ridiculous no matter how you look at it.
He is a dignified emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Even if he really dies and leaves a legacy, Minister Gu Ming cannot be Dong Gao and Kong Qingrong, two Han Chinese!
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The Ming army is pursuing us!"
What made Qianlong even more headache was.
The Ming army's mule soldiers lingered during the retreat!
Due to changes in the capital.
The Eight Banners soldiers had almost no fighting spirit and no fighting spirit - it seemed that three emperors suddenly appeared in the Qing Dynasty.
How can the Eight Banners digest such a change?
So now the Manchus have no intention of fighting.
And now the fatal thing is.
The pursuing Ming army carried the banner of "killing only the Manchus, not the Mongols."
Start openly recruiting Mongolians!
Those Mongols are really hateful.
Because the Qing Dynasty suddenly changed from one emperor to three emperors.
Many Mongolians felt that following the Qing Dynasty had no future, and many secretly broke away from the team and fled to the grasslands.
Some of them surrendered directly after being overtaken by the Ming army.
As a result, Qianlong now has fewer and fewer troops around him.
Moreover, Qianlong retreated in a hurry when he got the news from the capital.
A retreat quickly turned into a rout.
Hundreds of thousands of troops formed a serpentine formation stretching for more than 20 miles.
The core army beside Emperor Qianlong at this time.
There were only more than 50,000 Manchus left with six flags: the yellow flag, the white flag, the blue flag, the blue flag, the red flag, and the red flag.
There are 100,000 Mongolian cavalry, and I don’t know how many deserters.
And just when Qianlong's army crossed Yishui and was about to enter Shuntian Mansion.
On the distant horizon.
A cavalryman with shiny breastplates appeared.
They rode tall and strong horses as strong as Pegasus and blocked Qianlong's northward route.
"It's the Cuirassier Brigade! The Cuirassier Brigade of Ni Ming!"
When seeing the cuirassiers in the distance.
There were commotions in the Eight Banners Army formation.
Wait for them to take a closer look.
It was found that except for the cuirassier brigade of the Ming army.
There are also a lot of mule soldiers!
A cursory look.
There are twenty to thirty thousand!
On the bank of Yishui River ahead.
A slender white cloth was spread out.
Submit a letter: "The burial place of Qianlong, the pseudo-emperor of the Qing Dynasty!"
