On Long Live Mountain, Li Tingbiao was lying on a rock. He looked down through the telescope around the Forbidden City and was suddenly shocked.

I saw a few people in the distance pushing a cart covered with straw mats furtively, which seemed very laborious. Li Tingbiao often walked among the Tianwu Army, and he could tell at a glance that the cart was an artillery cart!

They secretly pushed the artillery up Long Live Mountain. You can guess what they wanted to do with your buttocks. They wanted to bombard the Forbidden City!

It is only one mile from here to Qianqing Palace and less than two miles to Huangji Palace. High on the mountain, a three-pound Hongyi cannon can hit it.

At Li Tingbiao's signal, several Jinyi guards sneaked up.

"Who is it, come out!"

The thieves carrying the cannon were very vigilant. They only heard nearby sounds and judged that someone was coming. They then flew out several steel darts.

Several Jinyi guards had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly dodged, only to hear a "bang" sound, and the steel darts were nailed to the tree behind them.

Li Tingbiao came out and said: "You guys are so good at it, you can actually get out the Hongyi cannon in the Beijing camp. Are you using the cannon to worship the sky?"

One of the thieves looked around and saw that there were only a few people on the other side, so he said angrily: "Ah, I thought it was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty's heavenly soldiers and generals who descended to earth, but it turned out to be a few useless guard eagle dogs!"

"Oh? Really?" Li Tingbiao chuckled and waved his right hand lightly.

Suddenly, a large number of imperial guards appeared up and down the mountain. They roared and ran, as if falling from the sky, and surrounded several Manchu soldiers.

Several slaves, Xizuo, were stunned for a moment. As soon as they finished talking about the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals descending to the earth, they were instantly slapped in the face, which was so swollen.

"I have been watching you for a long time!" Li Tingbiao ordered coldly: "Kill them all and leave them alive!"

The royal guards under Li Tingbiao's control are not comparable to those noble children in the palace who neglect training and are just messing around. They are all selected from the bottom or the army, and they are all ruthless!

Although these Manchu and Qing craftsmen were highly skilled in martial arts, they could not withstand the powerful offensive of the Jin Yiwei. After a while, their legs were either broken or their arms were cut off, and they were captured alive.

Li Tingbiao placed people under strict supervision, interrogated him on the spot, and performed a large-scale outdoor reality show in the biting cold wind.

After a while, a guard in Jinyi suddenly exclaimed: "Sir, look at that, Mingyufang is flooded..."

Li Tingbiao was startled, turned his head and looked over, and saw shocking plumes of smoke rising in the sky to the west of the Forbidden City.

He looked around with his binoculars, and his expression suddenly changed. There were more than one place on fire in the capital. Someone must have secretly set fire to cause trouble.

The weather is dry now, and most of the houses in the city are made of wooden structures, so they are almost on fire. Once the fire spreads, even the Great Luo Jinxian descending to earth will not be able to save it.

Li Tingbiao asked people to give extra meals to several Jiannu slaves and interrogate them as soon as possible. After learning about the tasks of several Manchu slaves, he hurried to the palace.

In the Zhongji Palace, no one left. They were all waiting for the palace to be purged of the Manchus. At this time, the palace door had been closed. All the eunuchs and maids were stripped naked and inspected. The eighteen generations of ancestors and the introducers were also investigated. .

Zhu Cixiang did not leave either. After listening to Li Tingbiao's report, he felt that this matter was not simple and that Jiannu should be carrying out a big plan.

At this time, I saw an eunuch running quickly. He came to the front of the temple panting and shouted: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened..."

Chongzhen knew this eunuch, his name was Du Zhiyi. He was originally in charge of the Shangshan Supervisor. Because he was good at cooking, he was sent to Deshengmen to supervise the army.

Although he was a member of the palace, he could not be so unruly. Just as Chongzhen was about to reprimand him, Du Zhiyi knelt down in front of the palace and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the Tatars are attacking the city!"

Suddenly there was a buzzing sound in the hall, Zhu Cixiang frowned and shouted: "Quiet!"

Then he pointed at Du Zhiyi and said, "Let him come in and talk."

Chongzhen acquiesced to Zhu Cixiang's behavior, and Du Zhiyi crawled in.

Several guards from the Yongwei Battalion came forward and quickly searched Du Zhiyi before letting him in.

Du Zhiyi said: "Your Majesty, the Tatar army has come from Tongzhou. Now it has surrounded Desheng Gate and Anding Gate. They are ready to mount the carriages and ladders. They are about to attack the city..."

Zhu Cixiang felt a shock all over his body, and finally fully understood the entire plan of establishing a slave tonight. First, he assassinated, then bombarded the capital, and then set the capital on fire. From the emperor to the civil and military ministers, and then to the people, everyone would be frightened. After the capital was disrupted, the Qing army

The siege will be much smoother.

This is the most common trick used by the Tatars. However, I did not expect that the Tatars played a series of tricks tonight. I don’t know who made it.

Yang Sichang asked: "How many people and horses do the Tatars have?"

Du Zhiyi then raised his head, thought for a moment, and said, "There are always a hundred thousand people!"

Falsifying the number of enemies was a common tactic used by military generals in the Ming Dynasty to shirk responsibility, and the eunuchs in charge of the army were no exception. Yang Sichang did not expose it and continued to ask: "Can you see the opponent's flag?"

Du Zhiyi said: "It seems to be Dorgon!"

All the emperors and ministers in the palace changed their expressions after hearing this. How long had it been since the city of Jinan was breached that Dorgon had already gone north to the capital? The Tatars were marching too fast!

Zhu Cihong glanced at Du Zhiyi, obviously not believing it. Not to mention whether Dorgon could march 800 miles in less than half a month, the number of Qing troops could not be 100,000, unless the Tianwu Army killed tens of thousands.

The Qing army was collectively resurrected.

Not long after, a letter reporting the emergency from Desheng Gate was delivered in envelopes, and the Tatars actually began to attack the city on a large scale.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a cry of killing coming from outside Desheng Gate. It was getting louder and louder, and more and more dense. It was at least tens of thousands of people.

Chongzhen was furious and scolded all the nobles in charge of the capital camp, and then made arrangements: "Tune the Yu Lin Guards to Desheng Gate, the Shenji Camp to guard the Anding Gate, the Shenshu Camp to guard the Dongzhi Gate and Chaoyang Gate, and the rest."

Strengthen vigilance at all gates!”

After the arrangements were made, Chongzhen asked the officials to think of a way. If no one could think of a way, no one was allowed to go home and had to live in Deshengmen.

The ministers were all silent, but no one dared to show his face, for fear of being sent to the front line by the emperor and dying.

Xue Guoguan held that the capital city was high and the pond was deep, and he would not have any problems in the short term. However, he also knew that it was not a long-term solution. He cupped his hands under the jade steps and said: "Your Majesty, please mobilize the Tianwu Army to enter the capital!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhu Cixiang. Only the tens of thousands of Tianwu troops stationed in Daxing City could solve the crisis in the capital. Chongzhen also looked at Zhu Cixiang, seeming to hesitate.

Zhu Cixiang looked into his eyes and said meaningfully: "I would like to inform my father that Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting are already on the way to King Qin. They are only two days away from the capital. If we march urgently, they can arrive in one day."

Everyone was slightly shocked, but Yang Sichang felt a big wave in his heart. The Ministry of War did not know the specific locations of Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting. How did the Crown Prince know so clearly?

Chongzhen looked at Zhu Cihong again and hesitated for a moment before saying: "Pass an order to urge Hong Chengchou to quickly lead troops into the defense without delay."

He then said: "Move the Tianwu Army into Beijing!"
