Songshan, the Qing army camp.

Huang Taiji was summoning ministers to discuss matters in the tent. In addition to Prince Rui Dorgon, Prince Su Haoge, Prince Yu Duoduo, Prince Wuying Ajige, Rao Yubei Abatai and other royal princes, there were also ministers such as Qing Dynasty, such as Dahai, Ganglin, Xifu, Sony, as well as Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, Li Yongfang, Tong Yangxing, Zhang Cunren and other surrendered ministers.

Huang Taiji's face looked bad.

Although the Qing army won a great victory, Hong Chengchou in Songshan City and Zu Dashou in Jinzhou City were still fighting stubbornly. Songshan City and Jinzhou City were not defeated for a day. This protracted decisive battle could not end in one day. The food and grass consumed every day was hundreds of thousands, which was a heavy burden for the Qing Dynasty, which was already in a food shortage.

Huang Taiji asked the Grand Secretary Ganglin, "Have I shot into Songshan City with my own handwritten imperial edict?"

Ganglin came out of class and said, "I had already shot in yesterday."

Huang Taiji asked: "Did Hong Chengchou respond?"

Ganglin said: "Yes, but..."

Huang Taiji interrupted Ganglin impatiently and said, "Where is the letter?"

Ganglin had no choice but to take out a letter from his sleeve, hold his hands high and say, "The letter is here."

Huang Taiji said seriously: "Remember."

Ganglin Wei said: "This..."

Huang Taiji said again: "Remember!"

Ganglin gritted his teeth and opened his letter and said, "The General Commander of Ji Liao, the Ming Dynasty, the Minister of War and the Left Censor, Hong Chengchou, sent a letter to the Chief of Jiannu: Your ancestors of Jiannu were just a group of wild life animals on the frontier of my Ming Dynasty who ate raw meat and drank blood. It was my Ming Dynasty that educated them, so that they understood etiquette, shame, and the way of crop cultivation and fishing and hunting. But not only did you not want to repay your kindness, but instead launched troops to invade my Ming Dynasty, seized my city, and killed my people..."

"It's unreasonable!" Dorgon came out to interrupt Ganglin, "This guy Hong Chengchou is rude and dares to insult our Jurchen ancestors in this way, it's a pity! When he breaks through Songshan and takes this thief, he will definitely tear him to pieces."

"Oh..." Huang Taiji's face was not angry, and he sighed quietly and said with emotion, "The Ming Dynasty is already corrupt, but Hong Chengchou is still willing to die for her. Hong Chengchou is a loyal minister! He passed on my will and will definitely capture Hong Chengchou alive after breaking the city. After taking it, he will escort him to my tent. I will personally take it."

Prince Su Haoge said in confusion: "Emperor Ama, Hong Chengchou said rudely and insulted my Jurchen ancestor, why didn't he kill him?"

"You don't understand." Huang Taiji shook his head, looked at Haoge with some disappointment, and said, "This is the way to govern the country."

Haoge was speechless.

Haoge really didn't understand Huang Taiji's good intentions. How could he know that Huang Taiji wanted to set an example for all the Ming officials in the Central Plains by surrendering Hong Chengchou, proclaiming a good reputation for respecting the wise and seeking talents in the Qing Dynasty.

"Emperor!" A fierce general of the Inlaid Yellow Banner suddenly broke into the tent and knelt on one knee and said, "Shengjing urgently reported."

"Shengjing?" Huang Taiji was shocked, and suddenly stood up and shouted loudly, "Tell me quickly."

Obai said with a serious expression: "The messenger said that Concubine Chen was critically ill, so he asked the emperor to return to Shengjing as soon as possible."

"What? Concubine Chen..."

Huang Taiji was in poor health and had been bleeding from his nose before going to the expedition. Now he suddenly heard that his favorite concubine Chen Fei was critically ill. In a hurry, she actually fainted in front of her. Fortunately, Dorgon and Haoge next to her were quick-eyed and quick-handed. Both came forward to support Huang Taiji, and quickly summoned the imperial physician.

The imperial physician arrived, and he took medicine and relieved his chest and breath. Huang Taiji finally woke up quietly.

The first thing Huang Taiji said when he woke up was: "Hurry, set me up, I will rush back to Shengjing immediately."

Dorgon said with some concern: "Your Majesty, you are so sick, how can you rush to the road?"

"I can't care about so much." Huang Taiji said and suddenly shed tears. "If Concubine Chen's condition had not reached an irreparable point, the queen would not have reported the message to me in a hurry with 600 miles. I would have to rush back to Shengjing to see Concubine Chen for the last time. Fourteenth brother, I will leave the war in Songshan to you. I will let two thousand cavalry stay and assist in the battle."

Dorgon said anxiously: "How can this be done? These two thousand iron cavalry are the emperor's personal soldiers."

"These two thousand iron cavalry are useless to stay by my side, but if they stay in Songshan, they can be useless. It would be impossible to conquer cities and plunder the land without this elite iron cavalry." After Huang Taiji said that, he said to Aobai, "Aobai, go and summon the guards and return to Beijing."

"twitter."

Oboi agreed to leave quickly.

Shengjing.

Wang Pu and his fifty family members hid in a private house for a whole afternoon. In order not to leak the news, Wang Pu ordered the Jiannu to kill all the children. It was no wonder that Wang Pu was so mean.

Time passed minute by minute in the unbearable waiting, and the sky finally got dark.

As the city gate closed, fewer pedestrians on the street gradually became deserted. The originally bustling Shengjing City gradually became deserted. God was quite helpful. The thin clouds covered the stars and moons in the sky. There was no fingers on the street. Another month of dark wind and high murderous night! In the middle of the night, the entire Shengjing City was completely asleep. Wang Pu led fifty servants to quietly find the house and rushed towards the south gate under the guidance of Zhen Youcai.

It was quiet inside the south gate, and only the insects made chirping sounds, which made people feel upset.

Two torches were inserted diagonally on the city tower. Under the dim firelight, two Jiannu stood bored inside the city gate. Due to the hot weather, both of them took off their robes and only wore short jackets. A group of Jiannu had just walked past the city tower and walked towards the distance with the torches. The doorman lights on the inside of the city gate were still on. It seemed that the gatekeeper was not sleeping in.

Scarface shrank his whole body against the wall on the street, and slowly wriggled forward like a snake. As the distance narrowed, Jiannu's figure gradually became clear. One of the Jiannu turned around accidentally and seemed to have discovered something. When he was about to open his mouth and shout, a dart had penetrated his throat. Jiannu hissed and sucked, but he could never make a sound.

A cold light flashed, and another dart flew out of Scarface's hand and shot through the throat of another Jiannu.

The two Jiannu fell to the ground in dejection. The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground alarmed the Jiannu in the doorman. When he came out to check the truth, a strong black shadow had already flashed out from behind the doorman like a cat. A cold light flashed, Jiannu's throat had been cut open, and the hot blood splashed out like a fountain, marking it as much as three feet away.

Scarface solved the problem of the two soldiers on duty. Fifty servants rushed up and killed the other dozen Jiannu who were sleeping soundly in the gate. The city gate easily fell into the hands of the Ming army. Wang Pu ordered the two servants to change into Jiannu's clothes and still stayed in the original place. Twenty servants hid in the gate to prevent them from happening. The remaining twenty servants walked through the urn to open the gate.

Outside the city.

Half an hour ago, the bearded man had already led more than a thousand servants to touch the city gate quietly. Just as he was about to get angry, a ray of fire suddenly appeared from the crack of the black city gate in front. Then a figure poked out half of his body from the crack of the door, and he clamped his throat and learned two nighthawks. The bearded man quickly responded to two nighthawks.

The city gate, which had only one crack, suddenly opened completely.

The bearded man raised his saber and led forward. More than a thousand cavalrymen were like a group of terrifying knights from hell, quietly entering Shengjing City. Because the horses' hooves were wrapped in cotton cloth and the horse's mouth was already covered. The Jiannu patrol team that had patrolled to the distance did not notice anything strange here. At this time, Shengjing City was still immersed in sleep, not knowing that the disaster had arrived.

After the expansion of the Huangtaiji, Shengjing City is square, with a circumference of about eight miles and is not very large. The structure of the city is in a standard "well" shape. Two streets in each vertical and horizontal divide the city into nine squares. The square in the north middle is the palace. The two squares on the left and right of the palace are the residences of the Princes of the Qing Dynasty, and the other six squares are the residential areas of ordinary Manchu nobles.

Wang Pu’s goal was to solve the problem of Jiannu stationed in the two military camps, then the palace, and finally the entire city.

After entering the city from Zuonanmen, more than a thousand soldiers divided into two groups. The bearded man and Scarface each led 400 knights to rush towards the palace in the north and north along the two streets in the north and south directions. From entering the city to the Daqing Gate, it was only five or six hundred meters away. It was only a short time before the horse was rushed. The two Jiannu sentry guarding outside the military camp discovered something abnormal, and the black cavalry had already arrived.
