Chapter 130 The emperor is out of the palace
Beitang.
The Ming army's arrival did not encounter any resistance. The Shanhaiguan War had wiped out the last bit of loyalty of the Green Camp to the court.
They were originally the descendants of a fence-skinned group. Half a century ago, their great-grandfathers abandoned the Ming Dynasty without any worries and threw themselves into the arms of alien invaders. At this time, they also threw themselves into the arms of the new king like their ancestors. The final result was that when the Beitang defenders saw the Ming fleet sailing towards them, they quickly chopped off their flag-based officers, and then held the white flag and lined up to welcome them.
There was not even a person who reported the message to Kang Mazi.
Immediately afterwards, with the help of local fishermen, the Ming army quickly completed the landing, and then the surrendered green camp acted as a guide, and even acted as a frontman, rushed to the Haihe River dam in Gegu with murderous intent.
Similarly, the Green Camp guarding the dam here also chopped off its own flag-based officers, then opened their arms to welcome their relatives, the People's Liberation Army. As for the rest of the work, there was no need to bother the Ming army's men. They found a good location and dug holes, and piled up more than 5,000 kilograms of gunpowder they used to resist the Ming army. After a fire was lit, with a loud noise like the sky and the earth cracked, the dam directly collapsed a hole more than twenty meters wide. It was originally blocked upstream and had to flow southeast through the sea river that formed a swamp, and instantly vented from this hole and refilled the original river channel.
At the same time, the two infantry brigades of the Ming army completed landing in Beitang, and the fleet returned to Shanhaiguan to pick up the cavalry brigade.
Only one of the two infantry brigades guarded Beitang, while the other men and horses rushed up the coastal river and headed straight for Tianjin.
Those inland warships and fishing boats hired from Beitang sailed into the sea river with various ammunition and medicines, accompanied the Ming army to march towards Tianjin. Even a large number of green camps volunteered to drive forward for the royal army. Similarly, as they advanced, the plague of surrender was spreading rapidly. All the Qing troops along the way chopped off the flag-based officers and then joined the embrace of the Ming Dynasty. As a result, when the army led by He Jin arrived in Tianjin, not only did a single Ming army not die or injured, but they had nearly 10,000 more under their command.
"Tianjin, this city is not that easy to fight!"
He Jin stood by the canal, looked at the square small town on the other side and said.
At this time, Tianjin was a square military fortress of 1.8 by 1.1.1.1.1., stuck in the southwest of the Sancha River estuary of the South Canal, the North Canal, and the Haihe River. In this way, together with the moat, the Ming army had to cross two rivers one after another, and all were covered by artillery on the city wall, and undoubtedly had to bear certain casualties.
"Or why are you here to attack?"
He said purely to the surrendered Green Camp Dusi beside him.
"that……"
The latter agreed with a sad face, either, he refused or did. Although he also had this awareness, he still wanted to struggle when things were about to come.
"Don't be afraid, I will cover you with artillery fire."
He Jin patted his shoulder and said in an encouraging tone.
Na Dusi looked constipated and gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Haha, ha, I'm scared you, just joking with you!"
He Jin said happily.
"Just, joke, adults are really good at joking."
Nadusi wiped his cold sweat and said with a smile and crying expression.
"Just shoot a heavy rocket, just hit it outside the city!"
He Jin ignored him, but turned to the staff next to him and said, who immediately ran to the heavy rocket launcher position that had just been set up. Then a heavy rocket ejected flames and smashed to the ground with a harsh roar, and then suddenly turned into a terrifying ball of flames. The explosion of eighty kilograms of gunpowder even made the ground under their feet tremble.
Just a few minutes later, there were suddenly chaotic gunfire sounds in Tianjin.
He Jin immediately showed a faint smile.
After more than ten minutes, the Tianjin city gate opposite them suddenly opened. A group of green camp soldiers who had already cut their braids came out of the city with a white flag carrying hundreds of rat-tailed heads. They nodded and greeted the king's army to restore the Tianjin guards. Then the trapped canal ships nearby were driven by the green camp and quickly built a floating bridge across the canal for the Ming army's men. Then the army led by He Jin lined up across the river and entered the fortress under the surveillance of the people of Tianjin.
At this time, Kang Mazi was almost crazy in Beijing.
He didn't see him. Yang Feng, a bastard, actually fooled him again, but this time he really killed him. What did he do to stop the Ming army from advancing? Yinzhen's hand was already the last mobile power he could use, but he was far away in Shanhaiguan and could not retreat at all for less than half a month. The direction of Tianjin was just a few green camp cards of warning nature, and had no combat power at all. Even if he didn't rebel, he could not stop the Ming army. In other words, he had no ability to resist before the Ming army came to the city.
But what if the troops come to the city?
The only new army of Beijing's garrison was his 20,000 troops. Others who could fight were under Yinzhen. Even the nine-sect admiral had drawn a group of Mongolian and Han Eight Banners to Shanhaiguan. Even if he tried his best to search, he could at most collect 30,000 or 20,000 people from the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing who could take up weapons to fight. In other words, no more than 50,000 people could be used to defend Beijing, and most of them were the elderly, weak, sick and disabled.
Of course, unless the Han people in the outer city are willing to help him, this is impossible, and he even has to be careful of these people.
Yang Feng's move was like a general, and he suddenly forced him to a dead end.
"Master, go quickly!"
Nian Gengyao lay on the ground and cried.
At this time, everyone else shut up. If you had to consider it before, then you didn't need to think about anything now. If Yang Feng headed south from Shanhaiguan, there would always be a glimmer of hope. After all, there was a logistical issue restricting it, but from the direction of Tianjin, there was no hope at all. The transportation system of Haihe and Canal was enough for Yang Feng to fight as long as he wanted under the city of Beijing.
"Master, I beg you to go quickly! The Tianjin defenders can't stop it for long. I guess it would be good if they could last for one day. If the thief army takes Tianjin, they will only walk for four days at most for the remaining two hundred miles. It is absolutely impossible for the eldest prince's army to come back."
Nian Gengyao continued to lie there and showed his loyalty with tears in his eyes.
"Master, I'm asking my master to put safety first. The Qing Dynasty cannot be without a master!"
Li Guangdi also knelt down.
"Please move my master (the emperor)!"
Immediately afterwards, all the princes and ministers knelt down and shouted.
"You let me think about it again!"
Kang Mazi said powerlessly.
What a fool to think about it. He Jin left Tianjin at this time. He was not stupid, so how could he run away? What are the canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal canal be reached in two or three days, even if it is not going back to the current day and night.
When he was rushing to Beijing at full speed, he learned that the Tianjin defenders not only did not even defend for a day, but also directly chopped up the flag-based officer to open the city to surrender to the thieves, Kang Mazi finally put aside his little dignity and issued a quick order that night to patrol for the preservation. Then the entire palace became in chaos. Although everyone knows that this time it has nothing to do with the patrol. To put it bluntly, it was just that the Ming army was forced to run away, but as the emperor, those who could not make the case, all kinds of ceremonial guards that the emperor had to go on patrol...
What? It's too late?
If you don’t have time, you have to have it, otherwise you will really run away and what will the people outside think if they see it?
What's more, I don't know when I will come back this time, or if I can come back, the emperor will still be able to live outside in the future. Although it is impossible to take everything away, all the gold, silver and jewelry must be taken away, otherwise what will be used to support the army in the future? Moreover, this time, not only the emperor ran away, but other princes, concubines, princesses, and even palace maids and eunuchs have to run away together, and each family has to take away. In addition, not only the living people, but also the dead people have to take away, just like the tablets in the Taimiao, or the thief army will throw the tablets of the wild boar skin into the pit, wouldn't the Tatar Emperor be so unfilial?
In addition to the palace, the civil and military officials also had to run away, and the valuable things in the yamen were taken away, especially the money from the Ministry of Revenue, the arms in the Ministry of War arsenal, and so on. Of course, there were private property of the princes and belles. It was obvious that these were left to the Ming army to send sheep into the tiger's mouth. Not only these upper-class people, but all the bannermen in the inner city of Beijing had to run away. The cruelty of the demon was famous all over the world. Generally, those who caught iron-core crops were men for slaves and prostitutes. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang courtyards were now filled with women from former royal relatives.
The escape of these people is a major project. The inner city of Beijing is a whole city of hardcore crops, and there are more than 100,000 people. This is not a patrol, but the whole is a great migration of wildebeests in Africa.
As soon as Kang Mazi's imperial edict was issued, chaos began to spread out rapidly from the palace. Inner city, outer city, and even the village of the bannermen outside the city. By the way, Yang Yaoren did not even let Baoyi go, and they were dealt with like their master. Poor at this time, those Baoyi was almost crying. We have called you to provoke you and treat us as our master. But have we enjoyed the blessing of our master? Of course, no matter how sad or angry he was, he still had to run away. The demon would not be reasonable.
After adding these coatings, the migrating army expanded again.
