    "The city is broken, the city is broken!"

    Waves of cheers rang through the sky. The cheers of tens of thousands of people were not ordinary. Even Da Yu'er, who was taking care of Huang Taiji in the deep palace, heard it.

    Da Yuer, who was holding a bowl of medicine and preparing to feed it to Huang Taiji, changed his face slightly and said to the palace maid next to him: "Hurry up and go out and see what is going on outside. Why is it so noisy?"

    "yes!"

    A palace maid of fifteen or sixteen years old, with delicate features, bent down to receive a blessing, and trotted out quickly. After a while, she ran over panting.  She ran to Da Yu'er in a panic. With her face pale, she said out of breath: "Empress, it's not good. The Dahua army has broken through the outer city wall. Now Prince Rui, Prince Su, Da Yu'er,  Baile and others are leading their troops to retreat to the inner city wall. Madam, what should we do? Please think of a way!"

    Da Yu'er's figure swayed, and the bowl she held in her hand shook. Almost half of the full bowl of concoction was spilled. Then her face changed and she scolded sternly: "Shut up, why are you panicking? It's still dark."  Come down, you don't need to put on such a face, I have the final say in everything, so you can go down."

    "Cha!"

    The pale-faced little palace maid did not dare to speak anymore and quickly retreated.

    The little palace maid who just exited the house did not see that Da Yuer, who stayed in the house, had the same complexion that suddenly turned pale after she left.  Dayu'er turned his head and glanced at Huang Taiji, who was lying quietly on the bed, and murmured with a bitter smile: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you don't know anything when you are lying on the bed. You feel relaxed, but people like me and my concubines who survived  But I don¡¯t know what to do. Your Majesty, please wake up, the sky of the Qing Dynasty is about to fall!¡±

    As soon as Dayu'er's words came out, all the eunuchs and maids around him knelt down, and they all cried in relief.

    "Take care, your Majesty, your Majesty has his own destiny. You will definitely recover, so don't worry. If you get sick again, our harem will have no backbone!"

    After a while, Dayu'er's face slowly regained some color. She turned to an eunuch beside her and said, "Hurry out and invite Prince Yu to me!"

    "Mother, this is not good"

    The eunuch hesitated.  Although Da Yuer is the de facto person in charge of the harem at this time, it is not good to frequently summon ministers outside the palace within a day. If Huang Taiji wakes up in the future, and someone makes such a crooked mouth, Da Yuer may not be able to  Just eat and drink.

    Seeing the eunuch's hesitant look, Da Yuer's face froze.  Raised his jade hand.

    "Snapped"

    With a crisp sound, there was a red palm print on the eunuch's face.  I only heard Da Yu'er's jade face saying with authority: "Bold, when will it be your turn as a slave to take charge of the affairs of this palace? What a bastard! Come on, drag this daring slave out with a twenty-weight staff."  !¡±

    As he spoke, two muscular eunuchs immediately came over and dragged the slave out on the ground. Along the way, the eunuch kept shouting: "This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die. Please calm down!"

    Seeing the eunuch being dragged out, Dayu'er, who was still angry, sat down and said to another eunuch: "You, go out quickly and invite Prince Yu here, and say that I have important matters to discuss with you."  !¡±

    "Cha!"

    Seeing the miserable appearance of his colleague, the eunuch didn't dare to say another word and hurriedly ran out.

    Two quarters of an hour later, amid the sounds of hurried footsteps, Duduo walked in accompanied by the eunuch.

    As soon as Duduo saw Dayu'er, he knelt down and bowed.  "Brother, I have met your Majesty. May your Majesty be safe!"

    "That's all, get up quickly. Now is not the time to pay attention to these false etiquette." Da Yuer hurriedly raised his jade hand and said anxiously: "Prince Yu, I heard that the Chinese army has broken through the first city wall.  is that so?"

    "My brother dare not deceive the empress, that's why." Duoduo's face was also very ugly at this time. He didn't expect that he had only been away for a long time, and the first city wall had collapsed. At this rate, the inner city wall would still be able to survive.  How long it will last is unknown.

    Da Yuer's pretty eyes looked directly at Duduo and asked seriously: "Prince Yu, now that things have happened, I don't want to say those polite words anymore. Did Prince Rui give you any explanation for letting you come to garrison here?  "

    Duduo's face changed slightly, and he hesitated before saying: "Brother Fourteen said that if the war situation changes, he will escort you and Brother Fulin to break out of Shengjing City and go north to Hetuala.  As long as we get there, we can continue the Qing Dynasty."

    People of later generations will know that the original capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was Sheng.? (Shenyang, also known as Fengtian), but in fact the earliest capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty before this was not it, but a place called Hetuala.

    Hetuala means Henggang in Manchu, and Huang Taiji called it "Xingjing", which means the place where dragons rise.

    It was the first place where the Manchus made their fortune, so the Manchus usually took more care of it. However, it was too far away from Shengjing, and the climate was colder than Shengjing, so the population was never very large, only about a hundred thousand in total.

    But the city there is very strong and suitable for a retreat.

    At this moment, Dayu'er heard that Dorgon arranged for him to retreat to Hetuala, and nodded slightly. It was indeed a good place to retreat.

    Then Dayu'er walked to the bed, sat next to Huang Taiji and asked softly: "What about the emperor? How do you plan to arrange for him?"

    Duduo just glanced at Huang Taiji and said expressionlessly: "This time we are escaping for our lives, not going on an inspection tour. But the emperor is not good at what he does, and there is no way for my younger brother to take the emperor with him to escape.  "

    Although Duduo only spoke softly, the hatred contained in it made Da Yuer secretly frightened.  As a woman who has lived with Huang Taiji for more than ten years, she certainly knew about the grievances between Huang Taiji and the Dorgon brothers, but she did not expect that Duduo's hatred for Huang Taiji was so deep. He had made it clear that he wanted to  Let Huang Taiji die.

    "Isn't this bad?" Da Yu'er frowned, seeming to be dissatisfied with this proposal.

    "There's nothing wrong with it." Duduo waved his hand simply, "The emperor is seriously ill and can't bear the bumps. I dare to ask who can guarantee the emperor's safety during the breakout."

    Dayuer sighed secretly in his heart, and felt that Duduo's words were reasonable. Now Huang Taiji was just relying on some precious medicinal materials to breathe. If he left the palace and got into the car, he would probably die within a few steps.

    Dayuer thought about it again and again, and in the end he could only helplessly shake his head and said: "That's it, that's all it can do."

    I am afraid that when Huang Taiji, the former lord of the Qing Dynasty, was sober, he never thought that his fate would be decided in just a few words between Duduo and Dayu'er.

    After finishing this conversation, Dayu'er and Duoduo fell silent. No one spoke, and the room was quiet for a while.

    After a long time, Dayu'er continued to ask: "Prince Yu, do you think Prince Rui and the others can withstand Dahua's attacking horse?"

    Dodo smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, you are asking me to question you. I don't know about this. I can only place my hope in the blessing of the spirits of the ancestors of the Aisin Gioro family in heaven."

    Dayuer waved his hand tiredly: "Okay, Prince Yu, please go out first. Make preparations first. If something goes wrong, escort our mother and son out of the palace immediately."

    "Hey, my brother, go and get ready immediately."

    Duduo bowed and bowed, then immediately withdrew.

    While the two were discussing their retreat, Zu Dashou also took the time to launch an attack on the second city wall.

    Hesitating that the distance between the first city wall and the second city wall was hundreds of steps, and the artillery outside could not be seen inside, so naturally there was no way to support the siege. I wanted to pull the artillery in but found that the distance inside was too narrow.  There was no way to deploy it, so Zu Dashou could only rely on the support of riflemen to attack the city.

    But this time the difficulty of attacking the city was much higher than when we attacked the first city wall just now.

    After retreating to the inner city wall, the Qing army's defense suddenly became crazy. They no longer retreated, but stood on the city wall, set up heavy shields, and under the cover of the shields, they desperately threw stones, rolling logs, and  Shoot the arrow.

    Zu Dashou originally wanted to go all out and command his soldiers and horses to capture Shengjing City in one fell swoop when the morale was high. As long as this city wall was captured again, there would be nothing in Shengjing that could stop the advance of the Great Chinese Army.

    "Brothers, work harder. Master Zu said that as long as Shengjing City is captured, each of the living brothers will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver, and each of the dead brothers will be rewarded with forty taels of silver. Come on!"

    Under the city wall, densely packed soldiers stood under the ladder, waiting to climb up.  Many of them held shields in one hand and long knives in their mouths, waiting to climb up and fight the Qing soldiers.

    Behind these siege soldiers was a row of riflemen, with the muzzles of Mini rifles pointing blackly forward. Once a Qing soldier on the city wall showed his body, several hot lead bullets were waiting for him.

    "kill!"

    "A Dahua soldier had just climbed up to the city wall when he was stabbed down by several spears waiting on top."

    It seems that the Qing army also learned the lessonI didn't dare to give the soldiers of Dahua a chance to throw thunder.

    Spears, arrowheads, and rolling stones and logs were stabbed or rolled down from the city wall, killing and injuring the soldiers who were preparing to attack the city.

    For a time, as soon as the siege of the city began, Zu Dashou saw that a large area of ??his son was swept away by the Qing army who was not afraid of death.

    "Quick, riflemen cover, cover quickly!"

    Zu Dashou waved his arms next to the first city gate and ordered the soldiers to speed up the attack. Zu Dashou deeply felt that as long as he got the first victory over Shengjing, his chances of promotion in the future would be easy.  There are many, and the emperor will definitely remember his name.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .
