Chapter 326 The King of Diligence in Beijing!(1/2)
"Emperor, Emperor..."
Zhou Yanru and others rushed back to the imperial city almost in a daze, and several of their timid pants were already wet.
Who would have thought that the Qing army's artillery would have such power and hit their noses directly.
If there is a slight difference... today is probably the day of the Ming Dynasty's national funeral.
In fact, the range of the red-clothed cannon is usually only about two miles. In normal conditions, it is impossible to directly hit the head of Guangqumen.
But Kong Youde is really smart!
Not only did he choose the best launch angle, but the shells were also reduced a little. In this way, the real lethality was very average, but his power and appearance were full of strength.
"What?"
"Tartars, there are more than 100,000 Tartars. Dorgon and the Eight Banners' Lord have arrived?"
In the East Nuan Pavilion, when Zhou Yanru and others were talking about the Qing army's formation and had already begun to launch an offensive against the capital, Emperor Chongzhen's face was no longer bloody.
What a fucking thing is that the more you fear something, the more you become!
If the Qing army had only tens of thousands of people, even if Emperor Chongzhen was afraid, he would not have gone too far. After all, the capital city had countless experiences in resisting foreign enemies. Yu Shaobao, who had to resist Yesen, who was like a wolf and a tiger, was even more dependent on 100,000 remaining troops.
But at this time... this is the main force of the Qing army that "the Jurchens are not satisfied with ten thousand, and they are invincible."
"Your Majesty, please summon the elite troops from the nine sides to Beijing to serve the king. According to the current situation, the capital may not last long."
Chen Yan was so scheming. Even though he was already wet and fishy in his crotch, he could still push up at the critical moment and kowtowed desperately.
"Yes, Your Majesty, hurry up and summon reinforcements to serve the king. This matter cannot be delayed any longer."
"emperor……"
The ministers immediately came to their senses, and kowtowed one by one like pounding garlic.
Emperor Chongzhen's nails turned white, but at this time he also realized that the tax and silver for the past year were basically collected, and the national treasury still had some surplus grain, so this battle was not unaffordable.
He nodded heavily: "Immediately issue an order to summon the elite troops from the nine sides to Beijing to serve the king! By the way, there is also the troops of Xu Changqing, the Zhongyi Body of Haicheng."
"The emperor is wise..."
...
Although the court has been dragging and extremely low in efficiency in many cases, it is still very fast when it comes to the vital interests of many core interest classes.
In the evening, hundreds of elite cavalry rushed out of the city gates from the capital, and disappeared into the dusk in the blink of an eye.
The many Qing army rangers around him only symbolically blocked him and let him go.
The news soon reached Dorgon.
Dorgon was accompanying Duoduo in his tent at this time.
After all, Duoduo is in his prime and his physical condition has always been good, especially since he entered the country. After careful care of several famous doctors, he has been much better in the past few days, but he still cannot get out of bed. According to the doctor, he has to rest for at least one month.
Upon hearing this battle report, Duoduo's eyes lit up suddenly: "Brother, have you succeeded?"
Dorgon also found a lot of domineeringness and confidence at this time, and smiled faintly: "The capital is the heart of the Ming people. It is great for them to come to serve the king. It is better not to come to serve the king! Fifteenth, wait patiently, believe that good news will come soon."
Duoduo's eyes turned and soon understood what Dorgon meant, and his spirit was so excited: "Brother, you mean..."
Dorgon smiled in control: "No matter what, the Qing Dynasty is invincible! Fifteenth, please rest assured to recover from the wounds, brother is still waiting for you to help me!"
...
The next morning, early morning, before dawn, Xu Changqing was sleeping in Gu Hengbo's bed, and suddenly woke up by the harsh and urgent news.
Gu Hengbo was also shocked. Although she was a little unhappy, Xu Changqing had just come to her place several days and actually encountered such a thing. However, this was an imperial edict. She did not dare to neglect it. She hurriedly forced herself to serve Xu Changqing in dressing.
Gu

Hengbo has been six or seven months old at this time, and his appearance is obvious, but it adds a very charming maternal glory, which is even more moving.
Xu Changqing kissed her delicate cheek hard and said with a smile: "Sister Mei, continue to sleep, I'll go out to have a look. It shouldn't be a big deal."
"Changqing, be careful."
Gu Hengbo suddenly hugged Xu Changqing with all his might, reluctant to leave.
The two of them were warm for a moment, and then Xu Changqing put on Zhou Zheng and walked out quickly.
But when he got the imperial edict, Xu Changqing's face instantly froze on the spot!
Originally, Xu Changqing always thought that Dorgon and the main force of the Qing army were planning to plan Haicheng or Qingzhou and to launch surprise troops. However, this was indeed a surprise troops, but it was far beyond Xu Changqing, including everyone in Haicheng!
The real target of these miscellaneous people... is actually the capital!
Soon, Li Yan and Eunuch Li who received the news rushed to the official hall. When they learned about the content of the imperial edict, everyone was stunned.
Even Li Yan couldn't help but sigh: "What a vicious thought, what a vicious thought! This is a killer!"
Eunuch Li's legs had already become weak and he said tremblingly: "Tartars, how could the Tartars have more than 100,000 troops? When they came to attack our Haicheng, there were only 50,000 or 60,000 people? This, this..."
After a hustle and bustle, Xu Changqing looked at Li Yan and others: "Military advisor, everyone, what do you think?"
Li Yan had calmed down a lot, bowed respectfully to Xu Changqing, and said in a deep voice: "Master, the imperial edict has been issued. We have no choice. We must go to the king. However, we must plan carefully whether to take the land or the sea."
Li Hongyun said: "The news was issued last night that the elite troops on the nine sides wanted to serve the king. The nearest one was the Miyun Army, but the combat power of the Miyun Army... It is estimated that Tang Tong will delay for a while and will not rashly be cannon fodder. The main force of the bandits has entered Qinchuan to cause trouble, so there is no chance for the Qin army. Now the reinforcements that the imperial court can use are only Liaodong and Datong."
Li Hongyun said, and hurriedly looked at Xu Changqing respectfully and gave a deep salute.
Although he said half of the words, the intention was already very clear. He must go to the king, but he cannot be regarded as the "showing bird".
This is actually clearly a trap for the Model Army!
Xu Changqing couldn't help but nodded secretly.
Li Hongyun is an old fried dough stick from the door. After being polished for a long time, he is even more outstanding than Li Yan in terms of overall situation, especially when he is incisive about these routines.
"Master, Bei Zhi also thinks what the deputy military advisor says makes sense, so we can't rush it."
"Weizhi also agrees with the deputy military advisor."
"Master..."
Everyone expressed their opinions.
Xu Changqing nodded in a regular manner and suddenly smiled: "What everyone said makes sense, but we can't get up early but get late! This kind of thing should be done as soon as possible. But ~, the Tartars are powerful, so we can only do it within our ability!"
...
At noon that day, Xu Changqing held a grand oath-taking ceremony in Haicheng and sent troops to Beijing to serve the king!
The main reason is that Xu Changqing has already made sufficient preparations to send troops these days, and everything has been prepared thoroughly. Unfortunately, the direction of the troops sent before has always been central and southern Shandong.
Although the imperial edict is urgent now, it is not hasty for Xu Changqing and the soldiers of the Model Army.
The troops boarded the ship soon.
At midnight, a huge fleet of more than 300 ships of all sizes and sizes were waved by Xu Changqing, heading northward towards Dagukou.
On the bow of the boat, Xu Changqing was wearing a military uniform and a golden helmet, allowing the wet and cold sea breeze to suck his hair and blow across his face.
In this battle, Xu Changqing transferred a total of seven thousand troops, including Zhao Zengjin, Xu Xiu, Zhang Hu, Wu Sanfu, Wang Hongyang, Zhang Dagong and Wang Hongyang, and the troops with a total of ten thousand people, including nearly 6,000 elite auxiliary soldiers, more than 2,000 war horses, and more than 1,000 mules, horses and carts.
In other words, Xu Changqing had already planned that Haicheng has been acquiring a large number of ships in the past two years, including gathering sailors. Otherwise, this huge rule
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The model's manpower is simply impossible to make a journey with ordinary fleets.
It is no exaggeration to say that at this time, Xu Changqing's fleet size was far better than that of Shen Tingyang, the "Beayang leader".
Of course, the elite level is definitely not comparable to that of Shen Tingyang.
The night in Bohai Bay is very quiet, and it also brings Xu Changqing's thoughts farther and farther away.
To be honest, this time, Xu Changqing was really touched by Dorgon's sword.
Xu Changqing really didn't expect that Dorgon, the son of the turtle, could have such a plan, which was simply concealed by the truth!
At this time, even though he had not really matched the main force of the Qing army, Xu Changqing had already become clear about their strategic goals.
For the Ming Dynasty, the capital was really too critical.
But the capital at this time was no longer the same as before.
In fact, since the Tumu Fort Incident, the capital was a "check-in holy place" for the powerful nomadic peoples.
Especially for the Qing Dynasty.
Altan Khan was so awesome at the time, but in fact he only dared to play with a flower gun. At that time, even if the Ming Dynasty was declining, the millions of troops were not just a joke.
However, by this time, the roots of the Ming Dynasty had already been rotten under internal and external troubles.
In fact, Xu Changqing understood very well that Dorgon's original intention was not to conquer the capital. Because in the Battle of Haicheng, even if their losses were not damaged, they would be almost the same. They would never feel very good and would not be able to chew tough problems again.
The real goal is nothing more than his new force, Xu Changqing and Jiubian, as well as the plundered property and population, and they want to get out of seclusion.
However, with the decay of the capital at this time, Xu Changqing was really afraid that Dorgon would really find the loopholes in the capital while playing, thus "fake play and do it" and really destroy the capital city!
Therefore, Xu Changqing must enter Beijing as soon as possible. First, he should make this attitude for Emperor Chongzhen. Second, it is also the most important thing. He must attract the attention of the main force of the Qing army and create some pressure on them.
