    "Master, you're back!" Ms. Qin saw her husband returning home and quickly came over to take over his hat. "I heard that the Ming Army has reached the outside of Beijing and the streets are in chaos!"

    Published Hu Maozhen stared, "What do you know, you woman? Get out!" Hu Maozhen shouted his wife back, sat on the chair and sighed.  Hong Chengchou was played by Li Chengdong. Li Chengdong took the outer city of Beijing with a time lag. Now the situation is getting worse and worse. Although Shunzhi ordered people to mobilize troops from Ying Erdai to return reinforcements, Hu Maozhen always had a premonition.  Li Chengdong was able to capture Beijing before the Qing army returned for reinforcements.

    Release Hu Maozhen recalled the secret edict given to him by Emperor Hongguang. The entire strategic plan was very clear. According to Emperor Hongguang's long-term plan, it was not impossible to drive away wolves and devour tigers. However, the plan could not keep up with the rapid changes. Li Chengdong, a lone army, actually gave up the entire strategy.  It was disruptive. If he had known this earlier, Gui Wang Zhu Youlang would have gone straight to Shanhaiguan, and Beijing would have captured it long ago.

    Release Hu Maozhen didn't sit at home for thirty minutes before he was called away by Shunzhi. Before leaving, Hu Maozhen called the housekeeper Hu Yan in front of him, "I always feel that the situation is not good. Now Qi Yu is not with me. You are the boss at home."  Just make the decision! Once I leave, I'm afraid Shunzhi won't let me come back too early. If anything happens, you can do it at your own discretion." Hu Maozhen knew that Shunzhi would ask him to go, and he wouldn't be able to get out of the forbidden palace until midnight without discussion, so he  He left the family affairs and the affairs of the Tiandihui to Hu Yan, who was second only to Qi Yu. These two people were his deputies from Beijing appointed by him, Yin Shixun, and Emperor Hongguang, so there would be no problem with their abilities.

    Release Although Hu Yan didn't know Emperor Hongguang's strategy, he was deeply puzzled by the Ming army's sudden attack on the city. After he agreed, he would first protect the Hu family from top to bottom. After all, this was the main hall of the Beijing Tiandihui, so there couldn't be any mistakes.

    Release Li Chengdong looked at Dang Shousu, whose face was covered with black and gray, "General Dang, please rest for a while! We have to temporarily stop the manpower siege. The soldiers have been fighting for such a long time and have to rest. The artillery does not need to stop for the time being, but  You have to take turns to fire, and be sure not to damage the cannon."

    Lin Yangyang looked tired and said to Li Chengdong while nibbling dry food: "We got more than 700 people. I screened them and found that less than 500 can be used. They have been handed over to Wang Zhigang." Lin Yangyang said to Li Chengdong.  Cheng¡¯s ideological and political work has been done very well, but there are not many people joining the army on the spot. This is the time to risk one¡¯s life. Except for real bloody men, no one dares to make fun of one¡¯s life. Hide as far as you can.  ah!

    Li Chengdong nodded, "That's right. I didn't expect to be able to recruit soldiers and horses in Beijing, but the general arranged it right. They have no combat experience, so it is safer to let them defend the city. In addition, the general ordered people to mount cannons on the city wall.  You can do a lot of good work, otherwise the situation of our army will be worrying!"

    Released Dang Shousu took over the temporary leadership of the siege task from the injured Wang Zhigang. He looked at the inner city of Beijing that was still being bombarded by artillery fire. "The city walls and gates are very strong. It seems that they cannot be opened within three or two days."

    Lin Lincheng sighed, "If my estimate is correct, the Tatars will definitely send troops back to assist Beijing. I don't know if the emperor can seize this opportunity. You must know that we are acting against orders and have not done meritorious service before doing so."  Damn it!"

    Dang Shousu smiled bitterly and said, "We can't take care of those things. How to do it well is the key now. We don't have much time. Maybe we won't know the emperor's attitude!" Dang Shousu was pessimistic in his heart.  Going down to the outer city already surprised him, but the price was the lives of He Dacheng and those 1,400 people. The inner city of Beijing has always been known for its solidity. After many years of repairs since the Yuan Dynasty, it is even more difficult to break through the inner city.  ah!

    Posted "General Party, as the saying goes, earthen pots will inevitably break at the wells, and generals will inevitably die in battle. I, Li Chengdong, am a rough man. In addition to having a bright house, all I want is glory and wealth. At this point today, I have no idea at all.  Regret." Li Chengdong seemed to be blaming himself when he heard what they said, and felt a little unhappy in his heart.

    Lin Lin smiled and said, "General, you don't have to be like this. It's inevitable for us to have some complaints, but we don't regret it! The sword is pointing at the capital, how happy it is! I guess the emperor can only acquiesce to our approach now, and it's just a matter of cooperation."  Whether there is a tacit understanding or not is still a matter of two opinions, it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to God to make things happen, let¡¯s see!¡±

    Posted I saw Yin Shixun coming in from outside, put down the memorial and rubbed his eyes. Tian Rong on the side immediately handed over a wet handkerchief, "How many days have Li Chen and the others been gone? I wonder if I can enter Beijing before Li Chengdong and the others.  , this Li Chengdong, my mind has been messed up by him."

    Released Yin Shixun thought about it and said, "The two times are about the same, but Li Chen and the others only have about fifty people, so they have a greater chance of arriving in Beijing before Li Chengdong." Yin Shixun said and handed the latest memorial to Emperor Hongguang."This is King Gui's gift."

    I opened it and saw that Zhu Youlang had captured Shengjing, with the help of the Manchu Ye He tribe. I remembered that the Ye He tribe had been exterminated by Nurhachi, but I didn't expect that the Ye He tribe still had more than 700 people.  Ye Hebu's contribution to the successful capture of Shengjing with human weapons must be indispensable!

    I put the memorial on the table, "The victory has been established outside the Pass. If we follow my plan, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will definitely withdraw from Beijing and move westward. How did I let Li Chengdong take command in the battle in the first place? What a shame.  People!"

    Yin Shixun coughed and said, "Your Majesty, although Li Chengdong disobeyed the imperial edict, in terms of combat, Li Chengdong's battles were very beautiful and he can be called a handsome man! It is a blessing for the Emperor to have such a talent." Yin Shixun is not.  He deliberately said good things for Li Chengdong, but hoped to give Emperor Hongguang a step down. After all, Emperor Hongguang's strategic plan was destroyed by Li Chengdong, and the emperor had to regain his face!  Ever since the emperor sent Li Chen to Beijing at night, Yin Shixun knew that the emperor had acquiesced in Li Chengdong's behavior. After much thought, he had to pave this step.

    Half an hour before it was announced that Li Chengdong set up artillery to attack the city, Li Chen and others entered the inner city of Beijing from Deshengmen and found a hotel to stay. When they wanted to rest for a while before meeting Hu Maozhen, Li Chengdong attacked the city.  Then, the city was in chaos, and everyone was in panic. By the time Li Chen found out what was going on, it was almost dark.

    It was announced that the fifty people who followed Li Chen into Beijing were all ethnic minorities in southern Xinjiang. They were all instructor-level figures in the "Special Forces" of the Ming Army. They entered Beijing in the name of doing business. Because of the rush of the mission, Li Chen did not know where Hu Maozhen's mansion was.  Where, by the time he found Hu Maozhen's home, it was almost the second update.  Shunzhi implemented a curfew, and people were interrogating him from time to time on the street. Fortunately, Li Chen showed Hu Maozhen's sign, otherwise it would be difficult to move forward.

    Published Hu Yan stared at Li Chen with his little eyes, "My master is not here, please go back first!" Hu Yan asked Li Chen a few questions and found that Li Chen's words were very suspicious. At this time, he did not want to cause trouble to Hu Maozhen.  And Li Chen didn't know what nonsense was about, so he naturally had to keep his words in reserve, so neither party told the truth, nor did they trust the other.

    Release Li Chen was anxious, "In that case, I'll wait in front of the house." As he said that, he lay down against the horse-mounted stone in front of the door.

    Published Seeing Li Chen like this, Hu Yan wanted to drive Li Chen away, but he held back his unpleasant words, "If you are willing to wait, then just wait!" After that, he closed the door with a bang.

    Posted by Li Chen, who was driving in a hurry all the way. He was so exhausted that he actually fell asleep leaning on the horse stone. He didn't know when he was woken up by the sound of artillery fire. Then he heard the noise of people around him. He opened his sleepy eyes and looked,  There was a shadowy figure moving in front of him. He rubbed his eyes and said, "I saidis that Mr. Hu Maozhen and Hu in front of you?"

    Released The person Li Chen saw was indeed Hu Maozhen. It was almost dawn. The Ming army's artillery fire on the city stopped for nearly two hours and then started shooting again. If it weren't for the sound of cannons, Li Chen might not have slept until long ago!

    Published Hu Maozhen was called a name, and he looked at Li Chen for a moment, "It's me, who are you?" Then the light of the lantern illuminated, and Hu Maozhen saw that it was a stranger whom he had never seen before.

    Published When Li Chen heard that the other party was Hu Maozhen, he lost all sleep and got up from the ground, "II'm from my hometown! The head of the family asked me to come and see you."

    Published Hu Maozhen¡¯s head turned around, and he immediately understood what was going on, "Ouch! It turns out to be a member of the family, please come in quickly, please come in." Hu Maozhen did not expect that Emperor Hongguang would send someone, which was a big surprise to him.

    Published Hu Maozhen asked Li Chen to go to the inner study, and asked Hu Yan to clear out the left and right sides. Then he looked at Li Chen, "Why did the master send a message at this time? How did you get in?"

    Li Chen took out a letter from his arms and said, "We came in before the siege. This is the letter that the master asked me to give to your lord. Your lord will understand after reading it." He handed over the letter from Emperor Hongguang.  To Hu Maozhen.

    Published Hu Maozhen looked at the envelope. The handwriting was indeed that of Emperor Hongguang. When he opened it, the letter was very brief. It probably meant that he was asked to cooperate with Li Chengdong to break the city. The signature was signed with Emperor Hongguang's seal. It couldn't be fake at all.

    Published Hu Maozhen handed the letter to Li Chen after verifying that it was correct, and frowned, "It is very difficult to assist Li Chengdong to break the city at this time! I am a civil servant, and the city defense cannot intervene at all. What should I do?"

    Release Li Chen looked at it and smiled, "Don't worry, sir, I still have fifty brothers in the Gaosheng Inn in Beicheng. With these people, plus your ability, it's not impossible to help General Li break the city!"

    Published Before Li Chen finished speaking, the nonsense from outside came in in a hurry, "Sir something happened!"?

    Published Hu Maozhen was startled, "What happened?"

    After posting the nonsense, he saw Hu Maozhen's face turned pale and realized that he had not made his words clear. "Sir, it's a good thing. It's a code sent by Qi Yu from outside. He is now in General Li's army!" Hu Yan said, holding an arrow.  Pass it to Hu Maozhen.

    Hu Maozhen took a closer look and found that the arrow was indeed engraved with the incision of the Tiandihui. The incision revealed the identity of Qi Yu. Hu Maozhen thought about it and guessed the truth, "General Li Chen, you are holding my film now."  , take the people in the inn to your house immediately."
