As the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, the capital city had extremely complete defense facilities. The city had high walls, thick walls, sufficient firepower, and a moat that was enough to keep the Qing army busy.
The moat of the capital city is divided into inner and outer rivers. The inner moat refers to the Tongzi River outside the imperial city. The Gaoliang River and Jishuitan in the north outside the city are moated rivers. The east and west sides of the city were newly excavated during the construction of the city. Together with the east and west moats outside the city, the river water
It gathers at Dongbianmen, passes through Datong Bridge, and enters Tonghui River. The total distance is more than 40 kilometers.
At this time, it was not freezing in winter. If the Qing army wanted to attack the city, they had to cross the river first. But how to cross the moat, which was nearly ten meters wide at its narrowest point? Dorgon led a group of subordinates and frowned at the distance.
Chang Yu, who was at the head of Andingmen City, was also thinking, what if it was him?
There was no other way but to attack by force! He really couldn't figure out how Li Zicheng could defeat the city of Beijing so easily in history.
If there is any decent resistance, let alone the city wall which is several feet high, even the bandits in the moat can only look back and sigh.
What a shame! Could it be that God’s will is really irresistible and Lao Zhu’s family is going to be destroyed?
But at that time, even if one of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stood up and defended each other to the death, the city would not be destroyed and the country would be destroyed.
It's just a man-made disaster.
Now that I am here, no one is allowed to cross the chasm, whether it is Li Zicheng or Dorgon! Chang Yu stared at the Qing army camp in the distance, his face becoming more and more murderous. In the past few months, he has been marching north and south.
He killed people without any intention, and the power on his body became more and more powerful. With the murderous intention in his heart, his momentum burst out like a huge wave, attracting people around him to look at him in surprise.
Wang Jiayan stood behind Chang Yu with a very complicated expression. He looked at the army camp in the distance and stared at the little eunuch thoughtfully. He was an upright official and hated evil as much as he hated evil. He thought that he was Wei Zhongxian's mortal enemy back then, so
At first, his attitude toward Chang Yu was very complicated. I couldn't say I hated him, but I couldn't say I liked him either. This was mostly because Chang Yu had great military exploits and had secretly encouraged him to become the governor of the capital camp. Perhaps it was because of his position as a natural enemy.
In the past, he had mostly heard about the little eunuch's deeds, but these days they were working side by side on official matters, which made him admire him even more. Seeing Chang Yu calmly and calmly dispatching troops, seeing him risking his life to go out of the city to kill the enemy, seeing him being seriously injured...compared to Chao.
The big guys chatting in the hall seemed to be changing day by day. At this time, the eyes and expectations of the whole capital were on him.
"Maybe it will start tomorrow?" Wang Jiayan sighed in a low voice, and Chang Yu didn't look back, his hair was blown by the wind, floating out of the dust: "He can't wait, and the governor can't wait either."
After saying that and leaving with a sneer, Wang Jiayan held the knife at his waist with his right hand and looked at the army camp due north, his veins bulging: "Come on, I can't wait any longer!"
"This Lord Wang is very conscientious and does not go out to the city for several days. He is much better than those who only talk and talk." Li Muxian followed Chang Yu down to the city and said in a low voice. He had a very good impression of Wang Jiayan.
Chang Yu smiled slightly: "Although he doesn't have any great abilities, he is loyal and honest. The court needs him at this time, and the emperor also needs him. Otherwise, why would I have promoted him to the throne with a warm face and a cold butt?"
"Not quite. Although Lord Guan Wang, who is humble in his position, is not very polite to the factory supervisor, it can be seen from his eyes that he admires you." Li Muchian said, and Chang Yu laughed: "That's because you don't know what he has done before.
He has a lot of bad things to say about our family behind his back." He said after a while he said: "Now he is already very good. He is busy here and there, and he is not a person who goes against the will. You have to know that the civil servants have a bad attitude towards us eunuchs.
Extremely disdainful and deeply defensive..."
Chang Yu complained, and Li Muchian responded: "What's wrong with the eunuchs? The brothers of the internal officials in Gongziying have been through life and death. Their loyalty to the country is no worse than anyone else. On the contrary, there are many people who can't compare to it, let alone those in the court who only know how to talk."
, that is, how many of the many brother armies can compare..."
Chang Yu looked with interest at Li Muchian, who was fighting for the eunuchs: "Do you really think the eunuchs are great?"
"Really!" Li Muxian said in a rare serious tone. Chang Yu was very pleased and looked at Hu Ling next to him and said: "I will help Daochang Li realize his dream later and let him become a true brother with us."
"Lord Factory Governor..." Li Muxian staggered and almost fell down. The attendants around him suppressed their laughter, but Song Luoyu couldn't help it. Everyone was shocked, and Li Muxian looked bitter: "Sir Factory Governor, Factory Governor..."
Moreover, Chang Yu rolled his eyes at him with disdain: "You see, those big guys and the world have the same virtues as you, and they all praise you when they ask us to work hard, but in fact they are still very repulsive in their hearts, no matter how much we sacrifice.
, you are still inferior to others."
"Being in a humble position really doesn't mean that. All the brothers in the humble position in Jinggong Ziying are men! They are real men!" Li Muxian became serious again, looking at Chang Yu and saying every word.
"Even in low-level positions, I feel that the factory supervisor and the brothers from Gongziying are real men!" Qiao Sanxiu, who has always said little, also looked serious. Immediately, Chen Wangting and other personal attendants agreed. Chang Yu saw that they all had solemn expressions and sincere eyes, and knew
It came from the bottom of my heart and was not a lie. I couldn’t help but feel warm in my heart. Hu Ling, Fan Jiaqian and others’ eyes became wet.
Huh! Chang Yu curled his lips and pointed at Li Muxian: "Can you take off your Taoist robe? There is no need for you to pretend to be a ghost in the East Factory..." Li Muxian laughed: "I feel safe wearing this, but if the factory supervisor looks at it,
If you don't like it, just change it to a humble position, or wear a flying fish suit..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Suole said softly from behind: "Taoist Priest Fang, we are from Dongchang, not Jinyiwei. Could it be that Taoist Priest doesn't like the small temple in Dongchang and wants to hug the big Buddha..."
"Bah, even you kid is making fun of this poor Taoist. The poor Taoist worships the Three Pure Ones. What are you doing with the giant Buddha holding the bald donkeys?" Li Muchian scolded, and everyone laughed and went down to the city.
"Sir Wang, these Tatar troops are approaching the city. Look, they are alright." A general from the Beijing camp next to Wang Jiayan muttered, pointing at Chang Yu and others who were walking away from the city with loud laughter.
Wang Jiayan glared at him: "That doesn't mean you are okay, that means you are calm and confident. We are far behind!"
It was getting dark. Everyone got out of the city and rode slowly south along the street. Traffic was restricted on the main street and all restaurants and restaurants were closed. This made Chang Yu, who had wanted to invite everyone under his command to eat out, a little regretful. At this moment, he
San Dian came towards me: "Mr. Factory, the food is ready."
Chang Yu laughed: "San, you are such a good cook. If our family opens a restaurant in Beijing later, would you be the chef?"
Fang Sandaxi quickly agreed. Chang Yu said it casually, but when he saw his expression, he seemed to believe it. Then he thought about it, it would be good to open a restaurant. This is also an industry. With his living sign business, he would never do it.
Worse, not to mention whether those dignitaries would sell his face to support him, at least the soldiers of the emperor's twenty-sixth personal guard would definitely come to patronize him. Chang Yu's prestige and reputation in the army are at the peak of the sky!
As soon as the thought came together, he began to think in his heart. Chang Yu raised his hand and said to everyone: "If you don't go back to the Yamen to eat, I will take you out to have fun today."
Everyone was overjoyed and shouted about the Great World Nightclub.
All the way south, they passed through the Imperial City and exited Zhengyang Gate to the outer city. However, Chang Yu did not take them to the Great World Nightclub, but to the Octopus Escort Agency next door. Everyone was confused.
The Octopus Escort Agency is located in the food store south of the east entrance of Dashilan Street on Qianmenwai Street, which is also where the Huiyou Escort Agency was opened by Song Yanchao, Qiao Sanxiu’s disciple. Of course, Qiao Sanxiu didn’t know at this time that his Sanhuang Cannon was at the door.
In two hundred years, he will become famous, let alone great masters like Song Yanchao and Li Yaochen.
Although the name of the escort agency is Octopus, which makes people think it is a brand owned by Huangshang, but anyone with a little knowledge knows that the big boss and major shareholders behind the scenes are Nai Dongchang and Jinyiwei. With these two umbrellas, the escorts walk
There are really not many people who dare to move in the world, not to mention that the escort agency has recruited many good men in the capital and has a network of many heroes, many of whom are highly skilled in martial arts.
Originally, troubled times were coming, and Chang Yu had great prospects for opening this logistics company. Unexpectedly, just when he was about to show off his grand ambitions, the Tatars besieged the city, forcing the escort agency to suspend operations and close its doors for rest.
The Escort Bureau entered the courtyard on the third day. It was an absolutely large house with about a hundred escorts and escorts. Chang Yu suddenly came to the door, which made them both surprised and nervous. They all understood in their hearts that this was an assessment.
