.Clang, ding, ding." The sound of the Ming army retreating sounded, and they were sieging the city. They fought for a day. The exhausted Qing army did not dare to rest. After seeing the Ming army retreating, they hurriedly hid behind the city. Sure enough, the Ming army's artillery bombardment arrived as scheduled, and the Qing army that had not yet retreated were all submerged in the smoke of gunpowder.

"What a pity, it's a pity." Seeing the green camp soldiers retreating, Qian Qianyi kept sighing. Even Qian Qianyi, who didn't understand military affairs, knew that the Qing army in the inner city had reached the end of the strong Lu period, but time had not waited for anyone, and the sun had already set. Otherwise, at most, only half an hour would be the first time to enter the inner city today.

Wang Fu felt a little regretful when he did not attack the city today, but he was regretful. Seeing that it was getting dark, Wang Fu still ordered to withdraw his troops without hesitation.

After the last round of artillery fire, the Ming army's artillery began to return. Today, the war was truly over. Only then did the remaining Qing army dare to walk up the city wall again. Seeing the bodies lying in a row on the wall, all the living Qing army felt like they had a life of surviving disaster.

The situation today is really too dangerous. The Ming army's musketeers were mixed with the Green Camp soldiers and shot the bravest Manchus. Several times the Green Camp soldiers rushed up the city wall to occupy a large area of ​​open space. In the most dangerous era, the Han army, who was commanding the yamen in the infantry, had collapsed and even turned to kill the Manchus who were supervising the battle. If Jirhalang had not led Goshha to personally suppress the accident, they would either become prisoners of the Ming army or be dead.

So far, the price Jirgalang paid was that only 120 of his 300 Goshhas were left. Jirgalang was injured by three swords. He cut his neck with one knife. Jirgalang would die if he died a little deeper. At this time, Jirgalang was wrapped in cotton cloth around his neck, and his waist and thighs were wrapped in cotton cloth. The purple-black blood stains on the cotton cloth were shocking.

There were three injuries, each of which had a heart-wrenching pain, especially the injuries on his legs. However, Jirgalang kept standing and refused to sit down. Today, he could defend the city, and the Qing army supported him with one breath. He could not let his subordinates see his weakness and vent the anger, otherwise he would immediately collapse.

"Prince, order to prepare to burn the city, I will not be able to defend tomorrow." The only remaining one, Melezhangjing, advised Jirgalang.

"How many people do we have?" Jirgalang asked in a hoarse voice.

"Go back to the prince, there are only more than 1,200 Manchu warriors, of which 291 are seriously injured, and slightly injured... More than 600 are slightly injured, only 248 are not injured. There are only more than 9,000 people in the infantry commanding the yamen, half of which are injured." Meile Zhangjing said bitterly. In just two days of attack, their losses were as high as 50%. If it weren't for the protection of the city wall, the team would have collapsed long ago.

"So, the number of people who can fight tomorrow is less than 10,000." Jiergalang also smiled bitterly in his heart. If the nine gates of the inner city were distributed equally, there were only one thousand people defending the city in each gate. And half of them were injured. Of course, the main attack direction of the Ming army has always been at the two gates of the Xicheng. However, he had to send the gates to stay in the other seven gates. At most, he could only concentrate half of the troops in the Xicheng.

The Melezhangjing was silent. Even when he stayed, he would be awakened to death. However, when death was about to come, he would inevitably feel fear in his heart.

"Then start preparing. Remember to use your own people. I would rather be tired than let the infantry commander's yamen know." Jirhalang instructed.

"Yes, the prince, I understand." The Mele Capital City was not a fool. At present, the Han army in the infantry commander of the yamen was completely covered with men and fought. They did not have the will to fight desperately. Once they found out that they were going to set fire to the city, it was hard to say that they would not riot.

Whether it is the palace or the inner city, most houses are flammable. As long as the fire is set, it can be ignited in a short time. The mankind's move must be said to be vicious. If you can't support it tomorrow, once you set a fire, you can not only burn the inner city to white ground, but also maybe you can use the fire to burn some of the Ming troops to death.

In the outer city, in the golden house, after the emperor came back, Tian Cheng kept looking at the emperor. Seeing that the sun had completely set, there was only a little light left in the sky. The emperor had no intention of going to the garden. Tian Cheng could no longer bear it. He said carefully: "Emperor, Garden."

"What garden?" Wang Fu was stunned for a moment.

"The Emperor, it's the sound of the garden last night."

When Tian Cheng mentioned this, Wang Fu immediately thought about it and became interested. The situation in the Ming Dynasty is getting better now. He, as an emperor, finally, can do not have to be so hard and have a secret room to dig, just treat it as an occasional relaxation.

Hundreds of guards hugged the emperor and came to the garden again. Wang Fu pointed to the place where he stood last night and said, "It's here, everyone look around."

"Abide by the order." The guard responded, holding various tools to start knocking and hitting, and sometimes digging up a few times. After a while, a good garden was destroyed beyond recognition. If the original owner knew about it, he would probably be furious. However, the original owner of the garden was still under house arrest in the palace, and his family was locked up in a small yard. It is still a matter of fact whether he could have the chance to see this garden again.

"emperor

After asking, Kim Zhijun has three sons and two daughters, and the eldest daughter is already married. The two are each married. Only the youngest daughter and the younger son are young and have not yet married. Kim Zhijun's young daughter is 16 years old. I heard that she looks so charming." Seeing the guards looking for her, she couldn't find the entrance for a while, Tian Cheng whispered beside the emperor.

"You slave, why are you talking about this in front of me?" Wang Fu laughed and scolded. After several months of going to war, the emperor had never touched women. Now that Wang Fu is healthy, he naturally has the need for women. However, he used to focus on war and sleep in the military tent, and his mind would be much less relaxed. Now that he has entered Beijing and moved back into a rich mansion, his mind will naturally stir up. When he heard Tian Cheng's words, Wang Fu thought that Tian Cheng wanted to arrange a woman for him, and he had some expectations in his heart.

Generally speaking, what the slave is afraid of is that the master is not close to him. The more he scolds him, the more he is favored. When he heard the emperor call him a slave, Tian Cheng smiled flatteringly: "Emperor, I have checked Kim Zhijun's family during the day. Currently, there is only Kim Zhijun's wife in the yard, and the concubine also has Kim Zhijun's eldest son and second son's family. What's strange is that Kim Zhijun's youngest daughter and youngest son have disappeared. The slave has interrogated them, but the family is whispering, and they must be strange."

Wang Fu only realized that he had a wrong intention. Fortunately, Tian Cheng didn't know what he was thinking just now, so Wang Fu was not embarrassed: "Are you saying that the young lady and young master of the Jin family are hiding in the garden?"

"Long live back, it's probably the case." Tian Cheng nodded heavily.

"Finished, found." A voice shouted excitedly. Everyone hurriedly looked at the voice, but saw a guard shouting next to a rockery a hundred steps away from the emperor.

Wang Fu quickly walked over and saw that several large stones next to the rockery were made of vividly, but it was a stone door. I don’t know what luck the guard had left, so he accidentally opened the stone door. At this time, a large hole that could accommodate four people walking side by side was revealed under the stone door. A stone step extended below, and it was so dark that it was unknown how deep it was.

A thin exclaim came out, and then it suddenly broke. The guard standing at the stone gate showed a look of excitement on his face: There was indeed someone inside.

Tian Cheng lifted his legs and wanted to go down, but just took two steps and looked at the dark hole below. He immediately lost his courage. He turned his head and looked at the emperor with an expression of asking for instructions. Wang Fu said lightly: "Call and let the people inside come out, otherwise, throw the torch down and take a look."

"Yes." The guards quickly started shouting, shouting for more than ten times, without any movement inside. In addition, the guards lit the torch and threw it down. The torch quickly landed on the ground and illuminated the bottom. Everyone was shocked to see that the steps were more than two meters deep. In addition to a hall, there was also a passage leading directly to the front.

The hall was empty, but since there was a passage, even someone would hide in the passage. No wonder he called others to let him go and asked the emperor for instructions. The guard led Ma Bingjie to hold a torch and took nine guards to walk down first, and then disappeared into the passage.

After seeing nothing happened below, Wang Fu also took the guards down the steps to the hall. The entire hall could accommodate hundreds of people. There was a stone room on both sides of the hall, and there were huge stones piled up around it, even on the top. I really don’t know what method the person who built the stone room used to put the stone on the top.

But what disappointed Wang Fu and the guards was that although there were only a few bags of rice, clear water, bacon and other items in the stone room, there was no gold, silver and treasure they imagined.

There are many holes next to these two stone chambers, and faint light comes in, which means that the cave and the air above have been in a state of flow for a long time. Wang Fu compared the location. The location of this stone chamber is almost the same as the place where he stayed last night, but the stone chamber is too deep and everyone can't find it out with their feet.

Ma Bingjie and others were still moving in the passage holding torches. What was surprising is that from the distance of the torches, they walked at least hundreds of meters. Wang Fu looked at it and asked secretly, who built this basement and secret passage, and where did the secret passage lead?

Judging from the size and traces of this basement, it is unlikely that it was built by the current owner Kim Jee-jun. The Kim family has only been moving into this house for more than ten years. How could they have so much energy to dig such a long passage? Moreover, from the traces of the basement, it doesn’t seem like the traces dug more than ten years ago, but it seems like it has been hundreds of years or even longer.
