    On April 17, Li Zicheng led the army to personally march. Before leaving, he followed the army and searched the whole city. Except for Qiu Yu, a scholar from Dongge University, and Fang Yuegong, a scholar from Wenyuange University, who committed suicide by hanging, there was also the funeral of the emperor Daxing in early April.  Li Guozhen, the uncle of Xiangcheng, committed suicide in front of the Hanged Tomb.  All the remaining ministers, six major members of the cabinet, eunuchs, senior officials of Jinyi Wei, and the princes who brought them into Beijing. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? of impending disaster, all the officials, all wailing, their bodies trembling like chaff, and many lying motionless, were unceremoniously trampled down by the horsemen, and dozens of them were trampled to death on the spot.  Thousands of officials and nobles were driven there, including Duke Xu Yunzhen of Dingguo, Marquis of Wuding Guo Peimin, Marquis of Taining Chen Yanzuo, Marquis of Zhenyuan Gu Zhaoji, Marquis of Xining Song Yude, Marquis of Yangwu Xue Lian, Marquis of Yongkang Xu Xideng, Marquis of Xing'an Xu Zhi'an, Xinning  Bo Tan Hongye, Yingcheng Bo Sun Tingxun more than a hundred nobles, as well as their nephews and family members.  Cabinet minister and bachelor Chen Yan was arrested again shortly after his release.  The same goes for the great eunuch Wang Xiangyao. On that day he announced the surrender of Wumen, but unexpectedly it would be the beginning of a series of nightmares.  There was also Zhang Jinyan, Minister of the Ministry of War, who also looked ashen. He deeply regretted that he should not have opened the door to surrender at that time.  There are also officials in the capital, big and small. After the bandits entered the capital, only more than a hundred people were hired, and the remaining nearly 2,000 people had no hope of wealth and wealth. If they had known this, why would they surrender?  Now not only had their wealth been lost, but their lives seemed to be in danger. They all cried loudly and were extremely frightened.  When Chen Yan, Zhang Jinyan and others were escorted into Liu Zongmin's mansion, there were already cries and screams inside. The armored soldiers in Liu Zongmin's mansion had already killed the vassal kings and nobles who had been escorted in earlier.  They kept slashing and stabbing at the crowd with their broadswords and spears. Blood was all over the ground and heads were rolling around. It was as if they had entered a slaughterhouse, and those armored soldiers were killing pigs and sheep.  "These vassal kings and nobles are people of great energy. If they stamp their feet casually, the capital and the local area will be shaken three times. They expected to surrender, but they did not expect this result.  It was so difficult for their ancestors to win the title, but now they are being slaughtered like chickens and pigs.  "Don't kill me" Uncle Anxiang Zhang Guangcan cried and begged. He was crawling on the ground. The two armored soldiers laughed wildly and chased after him. They slashed and stabbed with the big knives in their hands. Zhang Guangcan howled slowly and slowly.  Slowly lay motionless on the ground, a large amount of blood gushing out from the bluestone beneath him.  There were also Sui'an Bo Chen Changheng and Pengcheng Bo Zhang Guangzu screaming at the top of their lungs. Seven or eight spears were stabbed at the two of them. The two were rolling and crawling with blood all over their bodies. Finally, their howls slowly came out.  It was low, and finally there was no movement, except for the body twitching from time to time.  Zhang Jinyan's body was trembling like chaff. He saw piles of corpses in the courtyard. Duke Xu Yunzhen of Dingguo, Marquis of Wuding Guo Peimin, Marquis of Taining Chen Yanzuo, Marquis of Zhenyuan Gu Zhaoji and others threw themselves together. Their eyes were all wide open, and there was a trace of emotion in their eyes.  With immense fear and regret.  There were also corpses of the eunuchs Wang Xiangyao, Li Fengxiang, Gao Shiming, Chu Xianzhang, Fang Zhenghua, Zhang Guoyuan and others gathered in a large pile. They also had their eyes wide open. Many of them had their feces and urine mixed with the blood on the ground. The scene was indescribably terrifying.  .  Hearing the shrill screams again, it was Taikang Hou Zhang Guoji who cried out: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the humble minister is guilty. The humble minister should scatter the family wealth and prevent thieves from entering the capital." Zhang Guoji is the father of Queen Yi'an.  During the reign of Tianqi, he was granted the title of Uncle. On February 22nd, he received 10,000 taels of silver and was granted the title of Marquis. At this time, he deeply regretted that the amount of silver he had received was too little, which led to bandits entering the capital.  Liu Zongmin had been standing on the steps laughing wildly. At this time, he laughed and said: "Donkey Ball, there is finally someone who understands. It's too late. Just follow your emperor." With a wave of his hand, more than a hundred armored soldiers rushed out.  They came out and slashed at Zhang Guoji and others, hacking them to the ground one by one. Then they rushed towards Zhang Jinyan and others with bloody swords in their hands, grinning ferociously.  Chen Yan screamed. He turned around and wanted to escape, but was forced to the ground. Then two soldiers stabbed him repeatedly. The bachelor screamed and twisted his limbs desperately.  His cry was extremely miserable, like a slaughtered pig. In the end, the cabinet minister's body was soaked in blood, his eyes were wide open, and he looked very scary.  Zhang Jinyan screamed at the top of his lungs. He could no longer suppress the fear and regret in his heart, and cried loudly: "I regret it, I regret it so much. I should not have surrendered. I should have fought the bloody thief to the end." Liu Zongmin laughed wildly and said  : "It's too late, it's too late, you stupid donkeys, let's all die, hahaha" Five or six soldiers came around and chopped at Zhang Jinyan. The Minister of War screamed sadly, and the blood beads on his body continued to follow.  The sword was swung up and down.  ¡­ Liu Zongmin killed all the vassal nobles, cabinet ministers, senior officials of the six ministries, and the generalsThe supervisors and the important officials of Jinyiwei, and then it was the turn of the capital officials.  Because there were so many of them, they were all held in front of the house and chained on both sides of the road.  Liu Zongmin used the trumpet as an order, and killed the officials at will with each drum. After three drums, he released it, and killed another five to six hundred officials in one breath. Some officials begged and promised to lose money to survive, so they were killed.  But after hearing cries and howls, heads rolling on both sides of the road, people vomited in the smell of blood.  Li Zicheng remained silent, while Niu Jinxing looked at him with a pale face, feeling nauseated. Li Yan sighed and followed Li Zicheng and others on horseback to the north.  When they arrived outside Deshengmen, they saw cars and horses rolling on the dry road, and there was a constant flow of people, especially vehicles carrying water.  Niu Jinxing, Tian Jianxiu and others were in charge of logistics. Since there was a shortage of water within 30 miles north of Deshengmen, they transported water from the West Sea and Houhai in the inner city.  Double-lined water supply points.  Then walk another ten miles to Qinghedian. There is a Qinghe River there, and there are also some wells in South Town and North Town.  However, after the army arrives there, most of it will be stationed near Kunming Lake and Wengshan Mountain.  They stood on the German Foreign Pass and saw a mess of people and horses heading north. All the equipment and horses were missing, and many of the soldiers were carrying large and small bags of things.  Then they pushed the baggage, carried the grain and fodder, and pushed the artillery. The flags and flags were confused, the camp ranks were unclear, and there were curses and curses everywhere.  Although they formed a mighty trend heading north, Li Zicheng was always a little uneasy. He whispered to Niu Jinxing beside him: "Suddenly, the lonely king has doubts and fears in his heart. The army has been enjoying themselves for a long time. The Western troops are powerful, and the people in the city are still undecided."  , What should we do if we lose?" Niu Jinxing looked at the troops heading north. What he saw was indeed far from the well-organized and elite army before entering Beijing, and he also had a bad feeling in his heart.  Hearing what Li Zicheng said, he forced a smile and said: "My army is powerful and our cannons and artillery are sharp. Why would your Majesty say such depressing words?" However, he looked around and gritted his teeth and whispered: "If anything happens, I'll wait for you.  Then he returned to Huguang, Henan, thousands of miles away, and Wang Dou could not catch up. However, the gold and silver in the palace were exhausted, and the imperial palace was magnificent. How could he abandon it to others?  He is also a hero of the Overlord of Chu!" Li Zicheng nodded, and as Niu Jinxing and other officials saw him off, he mounted his horse and headed north. After walking a few dozen steps, he couldn't help but look back. He saw the Deshengmen Archery Tower not far away.  of magnificence.  Like him, many people can't help but look back. After leaving the capital, what is waiting for them?  ¡­ On April 15, Dorgon led the army to Sanhe.  On the 11th, Yang Guozhu, who was retreating to Qian'an City, refused to surrender. Dorgon ordered an attack. The battle between the two sides was fierce. The fight lasted from Si hour to noon. Dorgon used the red Yi artillery from the Qing Dynasty, especially the four-wheeled Mopan heavy artillery.  Although the artillerymen of the surrendered Ming army did not show their artillery skills, the Ming army suddenly retreated to the city and stood firm in Qian'an City. Judging from the confessions of the captured Ming soldiers, Dorgon guessed that Yang Guozhu might have been injured, and the injury was serious.  The Ming army was leaderless and had to retreat to the city.  Dorgon was relieved. Although the Jizhen army did not surrender, it was unable to leave the city and would not pose a threat to his Qing army.  He was concerned about what was going on between the Liu bandits and Wang Dou, so after the Ji Zhen army stopped leaving, he left some troops to monitor and ordered the army to continue on their way towards the capital.  He was not worried about whether the Jizhen Army in Qian'an City would pose a threat to his retreat. Starting from the Chongzhen Year, the Qing Dynasty entered the Pass several times, often going thousands of miles deep, reaching as far as Shandong. How many strongholds were behind this?  The city is heavily armed?  So as long as the Jingbian Army is not behind him, Dorgon won't care, and the same goes for the Jizhen Army.  There is a four-hundred-mile road from Qian'an to the capital, passing through the cities of Fengrun, Yutian, Jizhou, Sanhe, Tongzhou, etc. Dorgon ordered to rush on the road with all his strength. At the same time, sentries and cavalry were sent out in all directions, paying special attention to the capital and Xuanfu Town.  movement.  Along the way, he also used the banner of "avenging your father-in-law", and there were examples of Wu Sangui and others before him. They also knew how sharp the Tatars were, so when the army passed through Fengrun, the original Ming army surrendered to Dashun.  The general surrendered to the Qing Dynasty without any psychological burden.  Dorgon asked them to leave, leaving hundreds of bannermen in the city, and then continued on their way.  However, when passing through Yutian and Jizhou, the original Ming army defenders who had surrendered to Dashun were unwilling to surrender, and Dorgon was unwilling to pay attention. He left some soldiers and horses to monitor and continued on his way.  Anyway, although these soldiers did not surrender, they were unable to leave the city and posed no threat to their army.  However, he paid great attention to letting the sentries all over the countryside intercept possible messenger information, and not let them send messages to the capital, lest the thieves in the capital know about his army and turn their attention to him.On.  So far, although Dorgon's army has come all the way from Shanhaiguan, due to the strict battlefield cover and messenger interception, Li Zicheng and others in the capital have been confused, unaware that a powerful army is approaching the capital.  On the afternoon of April 15th, Dorgon's army arrived at Sanhe. The defending generals were still the former Ming Dynasty generals. Like Fengrun's example, they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty without any psychological burden. Without firing an arrow, Nagi  Hair in braids.  At this time, they were about a hundred miles away from the capital, and had traveled three hundred miles from Qian'an to Sanhe for four days. They were marching at the same overall speed, and even the large and small artillery they carried could keep up.  It's considered an excellent level, but not up to the top level.  The peak marching state of the Chinese classical army was in the early Song Dynasty. At that time, Zhao Guangyi led the Song army from Zhenzhou on June 13th and arrived in the south of Youzhou City on June 23rd. They marched for ten days, about 100 meters a day.  After traveling for more than a hundred miles, they immediately launched an attack on the city and lasted for thirteen days.  You must know that they were fully armored when marching, especially the Song Army's armor, which was famous for being heavy.  "However, the Jingbian Army also has records that the forced march state can reach 200 miles per day, and the cavalry can reach 300 miles per day.  Dorgon, who arrived at Sanhe, sent out more sentries, paying special attention to find out the news about Wang Dou in Xuanfu Town.  On the 16th, he received good news. The Jingbian Army sent troops and captured Changping with You Shiwei and others as the vanguard. The main army continued to come out of Juyong Pass.  There is also movement in the capital that he is paying attention to. Some of the bandits stationed at Deshengmen have gone north. They have stationed themselves in Qinghe Store and other places. The bandits in the city are also ready to move. It is very likely that they will all go north to join the Jingbian army in Anji.  Qiao started a battle with a certain area of ????Qinghe.  At this time, Dorgon had two choices before him. One was to go to Tongzhou, taking advantage of the possibility that the bandits would flock northward and the city defenses would be empty. It was a good time to seize the capital.  This is what Wu Sangui and others hope to see.  Would Dorgon be like this?  "Compared to the Liu bandits, Wang Dou is his most important enemy. If he sends troops to seize the capital, the Liu bandits will definitely return. If the two sides fight, wouldn't it be an advantage to Wang Dou?"  Who is the real snipe and the clam at this time, and the fisherman wins?  Therefore, his other choice must be Dorgon cast his eyes on Shunyi on the map, and then glanced at Wu Sangui who was full of expectation next to him, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.  On April 17, Dorgon confirmed that the bandits were all heading north, and he ordered the entire army to rush to Shunyi.  When Bu Sheng delivered the information to the case that night, Wang Dou said excitedly: "Okay, everyone is here."
