Chapter 894
The cities inside and outside Beijing were in chaos, and the Han army and Manchu army attacked and killed each other in the city, and the Ming army continued to enter the city.
The people in the outer city heard the shouts of killing and watched the movement, and knew that the king had entered the city.
However, the people in the city are complicated.
After all, many of the people who could live in Beijing were relatives who held official positions in the Qing Dynasty. They might not have thought that the royal army would enter the city. Only those oppressed people at the bottom were filled with joy and tears.
At this time, a large number of rebels and Ming troops flocked in and rushed into the city inside and outside.
"Don't kill if you surrender! Surrender to avoid death!" The mighty roar of Ming soldiers resounded throughout the inner and outer cities.
At this time, with the Chongwen Sect being captured, a large number of Han and Ming troops rushed into the inner city to kill the enemy and make meritorious service.
The whole city of troops, whoever kneels on the ground without giving up their weapons and dares to fight with weapons, will kill them.
Zhao Ming had long explained to the Ming army that it was mainly to capture prisoners. The Ming army soldiers mainly forced the surrender of the rebels who entered the city, regardless of the men, women, old and weak.
More than half of the 80,000 Han troops in the city are gone.
There are less than 20,000 soldiers in the city, which can be said to be that there are too many monks and few meats, and there is no enough military achievements.
Since you are surrendering, you will feel embarrassed if you don’t twist a few Tartar heads in your hands?
Now that he has defected to the Regent, the Han soldiers want to win the heads of the Qing soldiers as a gift, and make more military achievements to prevent the Ming Dynasty from liquidating them.
Therefore, when treating his former masters, these Han troops were even more cruel and cruel than the Ming troops who entered the city. No matter men, women, young and old, they would be cut and killed as long as they were fully dressed and shaved.
At this time, the Han army in the city killed people everywhere, and the gate of the city that left the city was blocked by Ajige. More than 100,000 people were everywhere in the city. For a moment, there was no way to heaven and no way to the ground.
The people became turtles in the jar, some of them were chopped and captured, while some fled into the imperial city in panic.
Ajige stood on the wall of the palace, looking at the soldiers who rushed into the city, as well as the elderly, weak, women and children. He saw the fires rising all over the city, screaming and his face was full of ferociousness.
"Your Majesty, what should I do now?" The Manchu nobles on the front of the city were full of despair.
Looking at the scene in front of you, anyone knows that Manren is already out of sight.
Azig said in pain: "Close the palace gate!"
At this time, as the Ming and Han armies approached, all gates of the imperial city were closed.
As a result, the people in the city had no way to live, and were killed and injured in the massacre, and surrendered one after another.
Before dawn, the inner and outer cities of Beijing were controlled by the Ming and Han armies. Only the imperial city was still defending, and there were only sporadic battles left in the city.
Zhang Tianfu and other generals led a large group of Han troops into the inner city and attacked various yamen, as well as the mansions of Manchu nobles, and all the civil and military officials in the yamen, as well as the royal residences, and the princes' residences, and the coat flag slaves were killed to make military achievements. Then, they rushed to the imperial city, hoping to capture Ajige.
The Han army attacked from all sides, and arrows fell like rain on the city. However, the Han army rushed into the inner city and did not carry siege equipment, so it was unable to capture for a while.
"My mother! It's all this, Qing Gou still has to resist stubbornly!" Unconsciously, Zhang Tianfu had already substituted himself into the Ming army, as if he had always been the Ming army.
Wu Ruyi said: "I will ask someone to prepare the ladder, and I must shoot it down today."
Liu Zehong said: "If the dogs are not coming out, I think it's better to set fire and burn them all in it!"
The red-eyed Han army did what they said, looking for ladders, piles of firewood, and prepared to set fire to attack the city.
The people on the city suddenly panicked. Most of the palaces in the imperial city were made of wooden buildings. Once a fire broke out, tens of thousands of people crowded in the city would be burned to death.
At this time, a general of the Ming army led a cavalry to rush over, whipping a Han soldier who was carrying firewood and shouting loudly: "Idiot, what are you going to do? Do you want to burn the palace in Beijing?"
It took more than two hundred years for the Ming Dynasty to build the majestic Beijing City, and Zhao Ming naturally could not let the Beijing City be destroyed by war.
Back then, Xiang Yu, the overlord, burned the Qin palace, and the world said, "King Xiang was "being a monkey and capped", which is not enough to plan the world."
Liu Yao, the former Zhao Xiongnu Han Dynasty, captured Luoyang and burned the palace of Jin State. Wang Mi, a Jin native who defected to the Huns, looked at the fire and cursed: "How could the slaughter of all the little slaves be like an emperor! You can't imagine unifying the world with these people!"
After that, as Wang Mi said, the former Zhao regime failed to unify the north and was eventually destroyed.
From this we can see that burning the palace will most likely not end up being good.
Although this matter is not absolute and does not have much to do with, Zhao Ming still needs to be vigilant.
Zhao Ming did not want to leave behind the bad reputation of destroying the Forbidden City. He was worried that the Han army and the Ming army would kill him, so he hurriedly ordered Li Ponu to come and pass the order.
At this time, the Han army received the military order and had to retreat temporarily. They felt sorry for not being able to rush into the palace and robbery.
Outside the city, the Han army and Ming army temporarily stopped siege. The people on the imperial city relaxed and suddenly remembered their current situation.
Before, the Han army and the Ming army attacked tightly, and the crowd was only concerned about resisting. Now no one attacked, and they calmed down one by one and all were desperate.
The Manchu soldiers who fled from the city to the imperial city, as well as the elderly, weak, women and children, were scattered inside and outside the palace. They were crowded in front of the palace and had long lost the pride of the Manchu rulers.
Many women held their children and sat against the palace walls, comforting the baby in their arms, with an uneasy look on their faces.
The soldiers wearing armor held weapons, their eyes were dull and their expressions were miserable.
Ajige sat in the Qianqing Palace hall, bare-headed, holding a battle knife in his hand, and was wiping it finely with a piece of cotton cloth. The Manchu soldiers and generals inside and outside the hall were surprisingly quiet and made no sound. It seemed that no one wanted to speak, and no one dared to think about what to do next.
At this time, a group of Manchu generals with broken armor hurried to the hall.
The leader looked at Ajige on the throne, suddenly knelt down on the ground, burst into tears and said, "Master, let's surrender in order to keep the mankind!"
In the hall, many Manchu nobles all cried silently and knelt down one after another.
Ajig raised his head, glanced at everyone with a dull look, lowered his head, and continued to wipe the sword.
The leader He Luo met this and couldn't help crying: "Master, the Qing Dynasty is over. Let's find a way out for the tens of thousands of elderly, weak, women and children in the imperial city! It doesn't matter if the slaves and others die, and the whole people cannot be extinct!"
Ajige's movement of wiping the knife stopped and sighed for a while: "Will Zhao Ming still accept surrender now? Even if he agrees, his descendants will only be slaves in the future. What's the point of living?"
He Luohui said, "Master, don't be important when you are alive!"
Azige was speechless for a long time, "Let's go with you!"
