Luanzhou, after Wu Sangui led the Qing army into the pass three years ago, he went straight to Beijing through this city. In September of that year, when the prince and the concubine and the Queen Mother took the emperor to move the capital from Shengjing to the pass, the imperial carriage stayed in Luanzhou for an extra day.

The reason was that when Emperor Taizong first attacked the Ming Dynasty, the Eight Banners Army captured Yongping, Qian'an, Luanzhou, and Zunhua in Jingdong, and ordered the Minister of Beile to lead the Manchuria and the Eight Banners of Mongolia to garrison.

This is also the first time since the Manchu uprising that the land within the Ming Dynasty was seized. If it weren't for the fact that the Great Bele Amin had easily abandoned the four cities and sent troops to massacre the city, perhaps as early as the early years of Emperor Taizong, he would have been able to use the four cities in Jingdong as a base, and attack Ningjin inside and outside, causing the entry into the pass to more than ten years in advance.

The two empress dowagers remembered their husband's great achievements in Luanzhou City, and they were filled with sighs and emotions. Now that they are coming to their hometown again, the two empress dowagers also have a lot of feelings in their hearts, but at this time they are completely different from those three years ago.

Three years ago, I was very excited and dominated China, and everything I saw was extremely fresh.

Three years later, he left the city in a hurry and left Beijing in a panic. Everything he saw was a scene of escape.

The evacuation of the entire Eight Banners can only be described as one word chaotic.

Due to the continuous urging of the Shun Army, the so-called ultimatum was repeatedly given. Prince Zheng Jirgalang, who was responsible for the evacuation, had to repeatedly order the flags to speed up and throw away unnecessary burdens. This forced many goods that had been packed in the city to be discarded on both sides of the road. The elderly Manchu people were heartbroken and scolded the young people for being prodigal.

Finally, the two white flags left Beijing were even more hasty. In advance, there were more than 1,000 carriages counted by the two white flags, but less than half of them left the city in the end. The remaining nearly 500 carriages loaded with supplies were discarded in the outer city of Beijing. Many of the carriages left the city were vacated for people to be pulled, otherwise it would be impossible to transport people away before the last time given by the Shunjun.

Such haste also caused heavy losses to the two white flags. Tens of thousands of Hannu Aha who should have taken away under his jurisdiction had to be abandoned in Beijing. Most of the Hannu Aha who followed his masters back to his hometown were young and healthy women. Most of the children who were older and slightly disabled and could not marches for a long distance were abandoned.

Some old slaves who had become Manchu robes as early as the Tianming Year were also ruthlessly abandoned by their masters. Looking at the figures of their masters leaving, these old slaves were all tearful. Many of them couldn't think of it and even jumped into the moat outside the city.

After following the master for a long time, these Han slaves really developed feelings for the master and the Qing Dynasty, and they really regarded themselves as slaves.

Tens of thousands of families from the Gongshun King Kong Youde tribe did not receive a notice of leaving Beijing, but the families of the Gongshun clan still packed up their packages and went to the city gate automatically. Even if the Manchus didn't want them, they still wanted to follow the team to Liaodong.

These families of the Gongshun clan knew that once the Shun army entered the city, their fate would be very miserable, because their vassal lords fought with their men and died in the Shun army.

On the other hand, the families of Huaishunfan were extremely peaceful, and even looked at the Manchus who left Beijing in a panic with gloating expressions.

Many people from Gongshunfan were unable to follow the Manchus and did not know what they would end up in, so they had to entrust their children to their relatives and friends in Huaishunfan, hoping that these fellow villagers who would soon become Dashun people could give their children a way out.

Some people sympathized and soft-heartedly accepted the orphans without fathers, while others were cruel and unwilling to accept them.

After the last Manchu man walked out of Beijing, firecrackers sounded in the city.

The people who set off firecrackers included the Han people in the city and the people from Huaishun.

With the sound of cannons, the First Town of Shunjun, who had been impatient, couldn't wait to enter the city. From then on, Beijing never had a whole city again.

Due to the chaos of evacuation, some Han officials who were unwilling to follow the Manchus out of seclusion were running away in the chaos. A dozen Han officials who were held by the Manchus in a carriage were taking advantage of the unprepared guarding flag soldiers, and jumped out of the carriage and ran towards the Shunjun in the distance, and shouted that they were Han people while running.

The guardians of the Eight Banners wanted to chase people, but after catching up, they did not dare to kill people in front of Shunjun in the distance. They just used swords and threatened these people to go back.

The Han officials who didn't want to go back with the Manchus were begging the Shun Army opposite, but the Shun Army had no intention of rescuing them.

In the chaos, the Qing Dynasty finally moved away from Beijing little by little.

Because you must pass Tongzhou to Shanhaiguan, Tongzhou is also the first stop for the Eight Banners.

Just when there were more than ten miles away from Tongzhou, there was a rumor that the Shun Army would break the promise in Tongzhou and attack the Manchus. As a result, a large number of Manchus fled for fear of being attacked and killed by the Shun Army. The deaths were hundreds of people, and even thousands of missing people were missing. More Han slaves fled, and more than three thousand Han slaves scattered with the two white flags alone.

The carriage that Prince Ajig's seventh son Melson and the twelve sons Jintai were riding in was knocked over by the fleeing crowd. One of the two young princes was unfortunately thrown out of the carriage and broke his leg, while the other was unfortunately crushed by the carriage and crushed to death.

When Prince Yu Duoduo heard the news of his two nephews' misfortune, he was furious and hurriedly sent troops to suppress the riots. After a while, he ordered Niulu to send people to respond to the road and clarify the rumors, so that people's hearts gradually calmed down. As for those who fled and ran away, Duoduo really had no energy and no one to search and search, so they could only go.

The imperial carriage evacuated with the two yellow flags, and arrived in Tongzhou City when the two white flags were in chaos outside Beijing.

But the imperial carriage is also chaotic here.

With so many people evacuating and time so tight, how can we take care of all aspects and think carefully?

On the first night in Tongzhou, the two empress dowagers and the emperor couldn't even drink water, let alone eating. The reason was that Tongzhou City was just massacred by the Shun Army not long ago. The wells in the city were either filled with stone bricks by the Shun Army, or they were floating with dead people. Where could they drink water?

Adults can tolerate it, but how can the young emperor, who is only ten years old, endure it?

Seeing that his son was so thirsty, the Queen Mother was so anxious that she couldn't help it, so she asked the eunuch Wu Liangfu to find a solution immediately. But what could Wu Liangfu do? He bit the bullet and searched everywhere, but asked him to find two corn stalks with peeled corn.

Just like that, the Manchu king Fulin only suffocated his thirst by chewing the corn pole. Obai, the commander in charge of the guard of the imperial carriage, also took people to carry wooden barrels to the canal to fetch water. In the second half of the night, the two empress dowagers and the emperor had a bowl of hot water to drink.

The slaves in the imperial kitchen originally prepared food for the two palaces and the emperor, but halfway they were snatched away by the Huangqi group. The remaining pot of millet and mung bean porridge was protected by the eunuch Yang Zhi.

When he heard that the meal in the imperial kitchen was snatched away, the king and concubine Jin Zhezhe changed his face. But the city was so chaotic, how could he check those bold and arrogant guys?

Finally, let’s eat something first.
