Chapter 394

Among the crowd, Kurashihiro was wearing ordinary people's clothes and was mingling among the crowd leaving the city, preparing to slip away quietly.

This made Gao Youcai furious.

The Chongzhen court has talked about the southward migration many times. In order to gain fame, this guy came out to block the southward migration again and again, and today it completely ruined the southward migration.

If he had consistently set an example and stood firm in Beijing, he would have been considered a straightforward minister, but now he was in the crowd and was about to escape. How could Gao Youcai endure it?

Gao Huan had his own plans and had no loyal ministers to the Ming Dynasty, but Gao Youcai still had feelings for the Ming Dynasty.

After all, he and Gao Gong were of the same clan, and were influenced by family precepts since childhood, to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism.

During the period when he was resurrected, Chongzhen also trusted him very much. In less than two years, he went from being a criminal official to becoming a deputy minister.

This made Gao Youcai feel very complicated inside. He did not want to see the collapse of the Chongzhen court, and he also had a lot of sympathy for Chongzhen's situation. He hoped to share his worries and repay Chongzhen's trust in him.

Therefore, he saw that Guang Shiheng, who was speaking in the court, was actually mixed in the crowd and wanted to escape, how could he not be angry?

Guang Shiheng heard a loud shout, and before he could react, he was punched in his eyes, causing him to stagger.

Guang Shiheng reacted and saw clearly that it was Gao Youcai. He immediately became angry and embarrassed, "What are you doing with Gao Youcai?"

"I beat you to death, the treacherous minister!" Gao Youcai cursed angrily, and then came up with another straight punch and a straight kick, but was guarded by Guang Shiheng.

The censors in the Ming Dynasty had a tradition of fighting in the martial arts? Is Guang Shiheng young? After coming to his senses, Gao Youcai was no longer an opponent.

Shi Heng was about to fight back at this time? But he didn't want Gao Jian to kick him from behind? He kicked him to the ground.

The father and son rode on him, and then they beat him up, which attracted the attention of the people. And at this moment, a scream suddenly came from outside the city gate, followed by the sound of footsteps of the crowd running in a panic.

The people who lined up outside the city to enter the city scattered and carried the loads? The people who were preparing to go to the city to sell goods? The things were scattered on the ground and no one picked them up.

Gao Youcai, Gao Jian and Guang Shiheng both stopped moving, and only heard the sound of gongs knocking on the city, and the streets were filled with panic pedestrians. The shops along the street closed their stores.

Seeing this, Gao Jian's face changed, "The Tartars are here!"

...

The Qing army entered the Great Wall at a very small price.

More than 100,000 Qing troops? After entering Jizhou, they did not immediately pounce on Beijing? Instead, they stayed in Jizhou for a long time to investigate the direction of Shanhaiguan and Wu Sangui's reaction.

At this time, Li Zicheng was still in Hedong, and there was no excuse for Wu Sangui to use troops to suppress the bandits and avenge Chongzhen. Dorgon could only use the Ming Dynasty to propose peace several times, but then changed his mind in the middle to launch an army to attack.

This reason has no appeal to the gentry and people around the capital, so Dorgon was more cautious after entering the pass, and first looked at the reactions of all parties, and then entered Beijing.

When the Qing army scouts reported that Wu Sangui and Guanning Army learned that the Qing army had broken through the border and entered, they did not send troops to Jizhou, but instead reduced their forces to avoid the Qing army. Dorgon ordered the Qing army's vanguard to pounce on Beijing.

At the top of the city wall of Beijing, Gao Youcai and the other three had just fought, staring outside the city with an ugly face.

They saw thick smoke rising in the villages and towns outside the city, and several Qing cavalry raised dust and howled and rushed towards Beijing.

Although Fan Wencheng suggested that Dorgon should restrain military discipline and first deceive the people around the capital to accept the rule of the Qing army, and Dorgon also agreed to restrain military discipline, within the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners nobles and the banner masters had great power and did not strictly enforce it.

The Qing army could not change the food. After entering the border, the cavalry of each flag would still plunder and massacre the people in the capital despite military orders.

At this time, in the rolling yellow dust, the Qing cavalry appeared under the city, and these cavalry were excitedly chasing the fleeing people who were scattered and fleeing.

Suddenly when the Qing army arrived, the Beijing defenders hurriedly closed the city gates. The gentry and people who had just left the city to move south could only escape in all directions.

The Qing cavalry chased the man and woman who were running away. It was a man who chased after the spear behind and stabbed him to death. The woman grabbed it, lifted it up and clamped it with excitement.

Gao Youcai stood at the top of the city, watching the people fleeing and being massacred by the Qing cavalry, without saying anything, the defenders on the city were also silent.

The Qing army raised an army to slaughter the people, rushed to the front of the city, showed off their power under the city, and occasionally made loud suggestions and jokes at the city. Behind them, countless cavalry rushed over.

The scenes of more than 100,000 cavalry and 300,000 to 400,000 war horses coming from the wild are enough to make anyone frightened.

Gao Youcai, Gao Ka and Kotoshihiro both looked pale.

At this time, Gao Yan couldn't help looking at Gao Youcai, who held the wall with one hand and said to Gao Yan with some guilt: "Santher, we may not be able to leave!"

When Guang Shiheng was heard this, he couldn't help but be furious. Guisun wanted to leave himself, so what qualifications do you have to beat me?

However, at this time, the few people were no longer in the mood to care about these things, and they were all overwhelmed by the overwhelming Qing army.

...

Luoyang, a ten-mile long pavilion in the eastern suburbs.

Gao Huan had already learned that the Qing army had entered the invasion of the pass, and Zhou Yanru, led Sun Chuanting, Ding Qirui and others to escape from Beijing.

Zhou Yanru and his group left Beijing, and the Qing army came to the city.

They traveled day and night, running southwards without stopping, before they got rid of the Qing army's pursuit and successfully escaped the Yellow River.

At this time, after receiving the report, Gao Huan stood outside the long pavilion of the eastern suburbs and welcomed the arrival of Zhou Yanru and his group.

Gao Huan sat in the pavilion for half an hour, and Yang Yan suddenly came in, "Supervisor, they are here!"

When Gao Huan heard the words, he immediately stood up and walked outside the pavilion. On the official road in the distance between the fruit, a group of figures came in a storm.

Soon, Zhou Yanru and his party came outside the pavilion. They got off the carriage and walked to Gao Huan.

Gao Huan looked at everyone, and he knew Ding Qirui and Sun Chuanting. A middle-aged man in his forties and long beard should be Zhou Yanru, who was ranked alongside Wen Tiren, a traitor of the treacherous minister of the Ming Dynasty.

"Old Master Zhou, Supervisor Sun, Supervisor Ding!" Gao Huan bowed with his fists.

"Mr. Marquis, stop calling him a supervisor! Lao Sun and I are both guilty!" Ding Qirui said with a smile.

"Marty!" Sun Chuanting just bowed.

"In this cabinet is in the capital, I often hear people say that Marquis Jianwu is young, but he is very heroic. Today, he is indeed well-known." Zhou Yanru exclaimed.

Gao Huan said: "Georg is a mischievous."

Zhou Yanru waved his hand and said apologetically: "Your Majesty left Mr. Gao to guard the capital, but failed to bring Mr. Gao back to Luoyang. Please don't blame me!"

Gao Huan had received the news that Gao Youcai was left by Chongzhen for a long time, and he was also worried about his father and brother, but he still shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I don't want Master Gong to do this. Alas! How could this world of the Great Ming Dynasty reach its present?"

Zhou Yanru sighed, "The state only emphasizes the art of controlling people, not the way of governing the world, and has today."

Gao Huan raised his eyebrows. He originally thought that Zhou Yanru was just a jester, but he didn't expect that he had such a deep understanding.

Only focusing on the art of controlling people, keen on engaging in power struggles, and not paying attention to solving people's livelihood issues, how to govern the world is indeed an important reason.

Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be one of the smartest emperors, but his intelligence is used all in power and tricks, and it will not benefit the world at all.
