Chapter 401 The Fall of Beijing
Doer's move to get out scared everyone.
Azig and others were surprised, "What happened to the Regent?"
Dorgon showed joy and laughed endlessly. Everyone looked at each other and felt puzzled in his heart, what made the Regent so happy.
"Haha, there is a happy event!" Dorgon glanced at everyone, looking excited, "It's God who helped me in the Qing Dynasty."
When everyone heard him say this, they waited patiently. Soon, they saw the guards bringing one into the tent. They were in their thirties, wearing cotton jackets, and were quite strong, but they were mentally depressed.
As soon as he entered the tent, he saw many Eight Banner nobles with bare scalp and barbaric aura. They looked sideways and their legs became weak and they knelt directly on the ground, "Little~ I pay homage to the Regent of the Qing Dynasty."
"Haha~" Many Eight Banners nobles burst into laughter.
Dorgon waved his hand and scolded the generals and said, "Don't be rude!"
After saying that, Dorgon smiled and said to the man, "Go forward a little, what's the matter with me?"
The man was frightened by the eyes of the Eight Banner nobles. As soon as he entered the big tent, he knelt directly at the door of the big tent, which was too far from the tent.
After hearing Dorgon's words, he did not dare to stand up, climbed directly into the middle of the tent, and kowtowed, "The villain is the Duke of Cheng to arrange for him to come out of the city and ask for surrender!"
When many Eight Banner nobles saw this, they wanted to laugh loudly, but they were stopped by Dorgon's eyes.
This Beijing city is the capital of the Ming Dynasty? It has been threatened by the Qing army several times? Therefore, there are many defensive equipment in the city and the city defense system is complete.
Now the Qing army has just entered the pass? Not many Ming army surrendered? There are only Tang Tong and other towns, and the Green Camp soldiers received only 20,000 to 30,000. The elite soldiers of the Eight Banners could not withstand the consumption of siege, so Dorgon never dared to launch a fierce attack on Beijing.
"Regent? Duke Chengguo Zhu Chunchen? He was the son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, the head of the Beijing ministers, and he controlled the people in the Beijing camp." Hong Chengchou introduced with a smile.
When Dorgon heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Okay! As long as Chengguo surrenders in public? Can the Qing Dynasty protect his life without worries? Continue to enjoy wealth and glory!"
In order to seize the Ming Dynasty, Dorgon still invested a lot and directly thanked Wu Sangui, split the land and made him king. He also gave rewards to the Ming traitors who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. He was talking about seizing the Central Plains first.

That night? Beijing, in Bauhinia City.
At the third update? Emperor Chongzhen was still in the study, wandering and unable to fall asleep.
At this time? Outside the palace, a noise suddenly came. Then Wang Chengen rushed in and reported in panic, "Your Majesty, the city has fallen, Jiannu has entered the city!"
Chongzhen was shocked when he heard the words and staggered, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and reacted, and suddenly felt the five thunders rushing to the top. His body was shaking and about to fall. Wang Chengen, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly held Chongzhen and helped him to the imperial throne and sat down.
After a while, Chongzhen came to his senses, but he didn't believe it, nor did he dare to believe it. Since Taizu drove away the Mongol Yuan, he had a 270-year foundation. Will it be destroyed by his own hands?
Chongzhen asked in a trembling voice: "Where is Zhu Chunchen? Where are the soldiers in the Beijing camp?"
"Your Majesty, Zhu Chunchen surrendered to Jiannu, and all the soldiers in the capital have been dispersed! Please leave the palace quickly!" Wang Chengen cried bitterly.
Chongzhen couldn't help crying when he heard the words, "I have ascended the throne for 16 years. The state affairs are getting worse. I cannot control the enemy outside and suppress the thieves inside. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are all caused by my loss of virtue, and it is all my fault!"
While speaking, a team of Jinyiwei rushed in and knelt on one knee, "Your Majesty, Jiannu entered the city, and I will escort Your Majesty out of the city!"
After speaking, a Jinyiwei family took out a set of clothes for the people and wanted to replace them with Chongzhen.
Seeing this, Chongzhen shook his head. There were Qing troops outside, and he knew that he could not escape.
"All the ministers misled me!" Chongzhen looked painful, but his eyes were full of determination. He had already made a decision in his heart that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty would never compromise, and would never be a prisoner, and should have dignity.
...
The city of Beijing was already in chaos, with deserters everywhere on the streets, and a large group of Qing troops, with horses entering the city gate one after another.
At this time, Boluo rode a war horse and led a team of armored soldiers to the imperial city. The rebel soldiers at the palace gate were fighting fiercely with the Jinyiwei guards guarding the gate.
"What's going on? Why haven't you fought yet!" Boro came over and scolded the rebel general.
"Gao Youcai, Minister of Rites, and Li Banghua, the Chief Censor, will not surrender!" The general with a face full of smoke, replied.
"Gao Youcai?" Boluo was excited and immediately waved his hand. The armored soldiers behind him rushed up and directly participated in the siege.
At this time, Zhu Chunchen, under the city, shouted to the top of the city, "Shilarious Minister Gao, the Qing soldiers have entered the city, why not open the city to surrender and share wealth with us."
Gao Youcai was wearing a scruffy official robe, wielding his sword in his arms, commanding his soldiers and eunuchs to guard the city. When he heard the shout, he couldn't help but be furious, "Rebel, Gao Youcai received great kindness from Your Majesty. My son was a general of the Ming Dynasty, how could he surrender to Jiannu!"
Gao Youcai bluffed and roared loudly. The defenders on the city were inspired by him and shared the same hatred for the enemy, but as the Manchu soldiers joined the battle group, they still couldn't defend them.
At this time, Gao Yan, covered in blood, ran over, "Father, Chongwen Gate is broken. We can't hold on here anymore."
Gao Youcai heard the words and felt sad, "It seems that you, my father and son are going to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty today."
"Woooo~ Father, I~" Gao Jian cried bitterly, obviously not Gao Youcai's enlightenment.
Gao Youcai looked resolute, "Don't be afraid! Your elder brother will avenge us!"
After speaking, Gao Youcai's thin body waving his long sword, bursting out unprecedented power. He waved his weapons and rushed towards the Qing soldiers who were climbing up the city. At the same time, he did not forget to roar, "The guardian of the Ming Dynasty is Gao Youcai, the Minister of Rites!"
Gao Youcai decided to die and left his name in history. Li Banghua, on the side, grabbed him, "Brother Guotao, listen!"
"Dongdongdongdongdong" was the sound of the emperor summoning all officials to discuss matters.
Li Banghua said: "Brother Guotao, go see Your Majesty, I'll guard the city. Go quickly, Jiannu has entered the city!"
After speaking, Li Banghua pushed Gao Youcai and turned around and rushed into the enemy group. However, he had no power to tie a chicken and did not cut the Qing soldiers, but was killed by the Qing army, and finally fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Gao Youcai saw the city full of Qing troops, and there were fires everywhere in the city. He heard the sound of drums "dong dong dong dong", so he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, "Go!"
At that moment, Gao Youcai led Gao Yan and others to the Imperial Front Hall.
Everyone came to the front hall with the sound of drums and saw Emperor Chongzhen disheveling his hair and beating the big drum. There was no one in front of the hall, only Wang Chengen served his side.
"Your Majesty!" Gao Youcai jogged forward. When he saw Chongzhen's appearance, he felt extremely desolate and couldn't help crying.
Chongzhen stopped the drumsticks and saw Gao Youcai leading a group of people over. He immediately burst into tears, "I personally beat the drum, and no one of the officials arrived, only Gao Qing ran over, I~I~"
(There is a bit too much at home, it's even late.)
