In the evening, dark clouds suddenly gathered over Beijing.
Fulin felt bored staying in the Dongnuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, so he immediately got up and went to the cloud platform outside to get some fresh air.
"Master, it's windy outside, be careful of catching a cold." Hou Fangyu chased him out holding a burqa.
It has to be said that Hou Fangyu, this brat, is very good at adapting to the situation. He quickly hugged Fulin's lap and transformed into Fulin's eunuch.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Hou Fangyu left a deep impression on Fulin when he was in Dagokou.
In Fulin's impression, Hou Fangyu was a wise man who could discuss strategies with Hong Chengchou, and Dorgon seemed to think highly of this dog slave.
Fulin really hates Dorgon.
But he still recognized Dorgon's vision.
Fulin took the burqa and put it on him, and asked quietly: "Hou Daban, do you think the Qing soldiers can win the Battle of Baliqiao?"
"Of course we can win." Hou Fangyu said decisively, "And we will definitely win, because Nanming's energy has been exhausted. The Ming Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty was caused by God's will and cannot be changed by human will."
"But why is there no news yet?"
"Master, how can a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people end so soon? Wait."
"But I am worried." Fulin said, "The battle at Baliqiao will not produce a result..."
While he was talking, a young eunuch stumbled over and cried under the cloud platform: "The master is in trouble, the Qing army has been defeated, the Qing army has been defeated, the Qing army has been defeated..."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Hou Fangyu shouted sternly, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, watch your tongue!"
"Eunuch Hou, you are not talking nonsense. The Qing soldiers are really defeated." The young eunuch said in panic, "The Mongolian troops from the Eight Banners have just fled back, and the news has spread all over Beijing. The Qing soldiers are really defeated." The battle has been defeated."
"Ah? Really defeated?" Hou Fangyu was stunned for a moment, it was over, it was over now.
But what made Hou Fangyu even more desperate was that the people of the Qing Dynasty had already dispersed. Even after the defeated Mongolian troops of the Eight Banners fled back to Beijing, they did not report the news to Yousi first. The news in the palace was actually obtained from the streets.
This is enough to show that the Qing court was in complete chaos, and no one took the Qing court seriously anymore.
This can also prove from the side that the Qing soldiers were not only defeated at Baliqiao, but also completely defeated!
How complete was the defeat? It was so complete that the defeated Mongolian troops under the Eight Banners completely lost confidence in the Qing court. It was really over.
Fulin was also stunned on the spot, staring directly at the night sky above his head, and kept thinking, were the Qing soldiers defeated? Were the Qing soldiers really defeated? Were they really defeated? ?
"Kacha!" A bolt of lightning exploded from the night sky.
Immediately, the heavy rain poured down.
…
Meng Xueli had also received news of the defeat of the Qing army.
After confirming that the news was true, Meng Xueli immediately asked Yao Qisheng to summon the Three Thousand Juzi Camp.
Just when Fulin and Hou Fangyu were dumbfounded, three thousand Juzi from the Juzi camp had gathered in Gongyuan Square, and Feng Guofan and Yuan Fuzhong were also present.
"Brother Meng, what's the important thing for summoning us?"
Feng Guofan and Yuan Fuzhong asked while hurriedly putting on their armor.
Meng Xueli ignored Feng Guofan and Yuan Fuzhong, and suddenly shouted: "Take it with me!"
Yao Qisheng and Yu Sideng immediately took two steps forward and pushed Feng Guofan and Yuan Fuzhong to the ground.
"Hey, Meng Xueli, are you crazy? Why are you detaining us?" Feng Guofan and Yuan Fuzhong immediately became anxious, and Yu Chenglong and other three thousand Juzi from the Juzi camp also looked at each other.
What is going on with Meng Jijian? Why are Feng Jijian and Yuan Jijian detained?
Meng Xueli continued: "You must have heard that Jiannu was defeated at Baliqiao and the 500,000-strong army was completely destroyed. Even Sony, Baiyintu and other generals were killed in the battle!"
Yu Chenglong and other officials were astonished. Meng gave the admonition the title of "Jiannu". Could it be that?
"That's right, you guessed it right." Meng Xueli said, "I followed the holy order and pretended to surrender to Jiannu to serve as a frontline for our restoration of the capital in the Ming Dynasty. Now the 500,000 Jiannu army was wiped out at Bali Bridge. Jiannu
Defeat is imminent, and you, the scholars, who have read the books of sages and sages, are still stubborn and follow the path of Jiannu to the dark side?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Chenglong immediately knelt down and begged: "Please give me some advice."
Seeing Yu Chenglong kneeling down to ask for advice, other students also reacted one after another.
At that moment, the three thousand disciples all knelt down and said in unison: "Please give me some advice."
Seeing this scene, Feng Guofan and Yuan Fuzhong looked at each other. What is going on?
"Children can be taught, so I will show you a clear path." Meng Xueli nodded happily.
After a pause, he said again: "Follow me into the Forbidden City and capture Fulin and his son!"
"Follow your orders!" Yu Chenglong and others stood up one after another and returned to the barracks to bring their own fire guns.
"Brother Meng? Brother Meng!" Feng Guofan and Yuan Fuzhong finally came to their senses and begged, "For the sake of the trouble you and I have been through, please ask Brother Meng to speak for me equally."
"It's too late." Meng Xueli refused decisively.
…
"Eniang!"
"Empress of the Emperor!"
"The emperor's mother is not good!"
Fulin stumbled into Cining Palace.
As a result, when I entered the door, I tripped over the threshold of the Nuan Pavilion and was immediately thrown into pieces.
Hou Fangyu, who was following behind, rushed forward to help Fulin up, only to find that blood was leaking from Fulin's nostrils. The fall was really serious.
Bumbutai then signaled the palace maid to bring a towel to wipe Fulin's face.
But Fulin pushed him away, rushed to Bumbutai and said, "Mother Huang, it's not good!"
"Why are you panicking?" Bumbutai glared at Fulin with some displeasure and said in a deep voice, "As long as your mother is here, the sky of the Qing Dynasty will not fall."
When he said this, Bumbutai actually had an aura of his own.
"Mother Huang, the sky has fallen!" Fulin cried loudly, "The sky of the Qing Dynasty has really fallen!"
"What did you say?" Bumbutai's face suddenly sank, "The Battle of Bali Bridge was defeated?"
"We are defeated, we are defeated." Fulin beat his chest and stamped his feet and said, "The 460,000-strong army is completely destroyed."
"That's nonsense." Bumbutai still didn't believe it, "How could the Ai family not know about such a big event?"
Fulin sobbed: "Empress Eniang, the news has spread throughout Beijing that the Battle of Bali Bridge was really defeated."
"It's nonsense again. The rumors in Beijing cannot be believed." Bumbutai said solemnly, "Only the military reports from Sony or Baiyintu can be believed. You actually need the Queen's Mother to teach you this truth?"
"Huang Er Niang, Sony and Baiyintu have both died in the battle." Fulin said, "The Eight Banners in Manchuria have also died in the battle. Even the Eight Banners in Mongolia only escaped with less than a thousand people. After returning to the city, they took their respective
The young man left the city to escape for his life."
"Is this true?" Bumbutai's expression also changed. Are all the Eight Banners in Manchuria dead?
If all the Eight Banners in Manchuria died in the battle, and Sony, Baiyintu, etc. also died on the battlefield, then the sky of the Qing Dynasty would really fall.
"Empress Huang, what should we do now? What should we do?" Fulin was only a twelve-year-old child after all. Faced with a sudden and major change, he was completely panicked.
"Don't panic yet. The more critical the moment, the more calm you have to be."
Bumbutai took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, let's go to the grassland!"
"What, grassland?" Fulin said in shock, "Mother, Horqin Grassland has fallen."
"We are not going to Horqin Grassland, we are going to Tumut, Chahar and even Khalkha." Bumbutai said, "Don't forget, in addition to being the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, you are also the Bogda of Mongolia.
Chechen Khan is the co-leader of the Mongolian tribes in Mobei, so there is no need to be afraid, as long as the Mongols are here, the sky of the Qing Dynasty will not fall."
And this is where Bumbutai's confidence lies. Even if Liaodong is lost and Baliqiao is defeated, the Qing Dynasty can retreat to the Mobei grassland and repeat the story of the confrontation between the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.
At that moment Bumubutai asked again: "Who is on duty outside the palace?"
Immediately, a palace maid reported: "Queen Mother, General Yabulan is on duty outside the palace today."
"Okay, let Yabulan come to see the Aijia immediately." He suddenly paused and said, "No, there is no need to come to see the Aijia. Yabulan immediately summons the left-behind Bagala to obey his orders!"
After saying that, Bumbutai picked up Fulin and said, "Your Majesty, let's leave quickly."
"Ah?" Fulin said in astonishment, "Empress Huang, why don't you clean up before leaving?"
"Silly boy, how can you still have time to clean up?" Bumbutai sighed, "If we don't leave, the Ming Dynasty's army will kill them outside Beijing. By then, we, mother and son, may not be able to leave."
While he was talking, the sound of gunshots suddenly sounded outside the Meridian Gate.
Immediately afterwards, a faint sound of killing came to Cining Palace.
"The sound of killing?" Fulin said in panic, "Did the Ming army invade Beijing?"
"No, even if the Ming army wins the Battle of Baliqiao, it will still take at least half a day to clean up the battlefield. There is no way they can reach the outside of Beijing so quickly. If nothing else, the Han officials and gentry in the city will cause trouble," Hou Fangyu said.
.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yabulan hurriedly walked in, knelt down and reported: "The Emperor and the Queen Mother have raised a rebellion in the camp and are attacking the Meridian Gate. I beg the Queen Mother and the Emperor to leave the palace quickly and take shelter from the Xuanwu Gate."
"General Yabulan, you came just in time." Bumbutai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Quickly summon the left-behind Bagala to protect the emperor and the Ai family as they head to Mobei. Don't pay attention to the Zhuzi camp outside the Meridian Gate."
"Hey!" Yabulan immediately stood up and summoned Baya La.
Soon, Bumbutai and Fulin, escorted by three hundred bagaras with yellow flags, left the Forbidden City through Xuanwu Gate, then left Beijing through Desheng Gate, and then rushed their horses straight to Juyong Pass.
Not long after Bumbutai and his party left Deshengmen,
A group of Ming army cavalry appeared outside Deshengmen in the heavy rain.
"Hush." Zhu Cijiong reined in his horse and wiped the rain off his face.
"With such heavy rain, the Jiannu slaves in Beijing should not have time to escape."
Hu Guozhu pointed forward and said: "King Ding, the city gate seems to be open."
Zhu Cijiong said: "It was probably opened by the fleeing Mongols. Don't pay attention to it. We just need to block Desheng Gate and block the road to Juyongguan."
