Since the Chinese army surrounded the capital, the capital has been in a state of panic.

Although the Chinese army did not attack the city, the formations and the way they set up to show off their military power made the people, soldiers and civilians in the city even more frightened.

The people in the capital are proud. They think they are superior everywhere and regard people from other places as countrymen.

The tall and majestic city walls also gave them great confidence, believing that there was no hostile force that could cross the city wall and hurt them, so they could reproduction and survival here with confidence.

Not only are they here, but the emperors of the Ming Empire are also here.

The emperor is here, which means that there will be a large number of elite soldiers and generals garrison here to protect the safety of the royal family and at the same time to protect their safety.

However, the momentum of the Chinese army was very scared by them.

The Chinese Army was different from the Mongols who surrounded the capital back then. The Jiannu who turned to war in Jisi and knocked on the capital, the Chinese Army had strong attack capabilities.

During its rise, the Chinese army swept away the fallen leaves with the autumn wind, destroying the withered and rotten momentum, and swept everything. It was invincible, but it had never fought a few very tragic siege battles.

However, no one believes that the Chinese army does not have the ability to attack. This is because the Chinese army has a powerful artillery battalion. The Chinese army's artillery battalion has a number of red-clothed cannons that were several times that of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty also had many cannons. The number of cannons registered in the Ministry of Works and the Military Weapons Bureau was as many as 40,000 to 50,000. These were extremely backward iron cannons, and these red-clothed cannons are incomparable.

After the Battle of Ningyuan, the Ming Dynasty also realized the power of the red cannon and began to eliminate it in a planned manner, but due to funding issues, it was too late to make a move.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty was very tricky, when they founded, they could use firearms very skillfully. The three camps mainly used firearms, but after hundreds of years of development, they became even more backward. They had very good and top-notch weapons, such as Lumi guns and red-clothed cannons, but the number was very rare, smaller than that of giant pandas.

This means that it is impossible to install. The Ming Dynasty had the technology to manufacture advanced muskets and cannons, but it did not have enough funds and enough craftsmen. At that time, the imperial court also believed that it was very inappropriate to spend a lot of money on manufacturing muskets and cannons. These strange and lewd things were always difficult to reach the level of elegance.

But the Chinese army is different. They almost used all their resources to make their muskets and artillery to make their army highly firearmed. When they pulled out their cannons, they shocked and frightened the people in the capital.

The Chinese army may not have traditional siege weapons, such as tower cars, huge siege hammers, and various ladders, but they have so many cannons that are enough to collapse the city walls.

Everyone saw that the Chinese army entered the capital, and it was just around the corner. They were fully capable of seizing the capital and breaking in at any time, but putting the greatest pressure on these people.

When the guard of Zhengyang Gate opened the city gate, the army did not keep a low profile at all, but instead blew the horn and beat the war drums, and came from Zhengyang Gate in a mighty manner, dignified and upright manner.

The Chinese army rushed in from Zhengyang Gate like a flood and rushed towards other gates.

The guards of other major city gates were shocked after hearing that they had fallen. Some quickly threw away their weapons and fled home to avoid military disasters. Some simply asked for wealth and danger, and opened the city gate directly to welcome the Chinese army outside.

At the beginning, Zhengyang Gate was only opened, and soon other major city gates were also opened, and the Chinese army rushed in from all directions.

Beijing is the largest city, and it is one of the best cities today, divided into outer cities and inner cities, and the inner cities also include the imperial city.

The first thing the Chinese army set out was to capture the outer city. For them, the threat was the outer city. After taking the outer city, it would be easy to capture the inner city.

The people were already in panic. When they heard that the Chinese army finally broke into the city, many people were extremely frightened and afraid of themselves. The calm city suddenly became a mess, like an ant nest scalded by boiling water.

Since Emperor Chongzhen heard that Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang led their troops to surrender, he no longer had the fighting spirit. His last hope was these two armies. As a result, the two generals whom he relied most, who were regarded as loyal ministers, surrendered.

Not only did they surrender themselves, they also brought hundreds of thousands of troops, and the Ming Dynasty was completely finished.

Although Zhu Xieyuan was still struggling to support and resisting desperately, he knew that this was the rabbit's tail and could not grow.

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen was truly collapsed. He began to give up on himself, no longer read any memorials, no longer read any military newspapers, and would eat and drink tomorrow, desperately favoring and tossing his queen and several imperial concubines.

At this moment, even if Emperor Chongzhen was unwilling to accept it, he knew that the Ming Dynasty was about to perish and that he would not have much time left.

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen's heart was extremely sad and extremely panicked. When he ascended the throne, he was full of confidence and determined to be the sacred lord of the revival of the Ming Dynasty. Ten years later, he did not revival of the Ming Dynasty, but instead destroyed the Ming Dynasty. The despair in his heart was extremely huge.

When the people around the emperor saw that the emperor gave up on himself and did not care about the government affairs, they all began to be afraid. If it were the former Ming emperors, it was normal. Most of them did not care about political affairs. They handed over all the memorials to the Silijian, and the Silijian criticized Zhu.

Emperor Chongzhen never did this. He would not hand over military and national affairs to the Sili Supervisor, nor would he miss the morning court or any political affairs. He took political affairs more seriously, because he believed that he had the greatest responsibility for the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world, and did not dare to take it lightly.

At this moment, he ignored nothing and gave up on himself. Everyone was shocked by it. Everyone felt panic and felt the fear and anxiety of the end of the world.

Many eunuchs and palace maids saw that the wind was not right, and began to clean up the fine and soft things and prepare to leave.

Can the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace go away at will? If it were the past, they would never dare to escape, but they would be caught by the officers and soldiers guarding the city and killed with one knife.

The first person who escaped now was the guards and officers and soldiers guarding the imperial city. Most of them were no longer on duty. Those who did not escape were all monks for a day, and they were just going to live by the bells.

Of course, they would still take care of the palace maids and eunuchs who fled out, but if they were willing to hand over some money and some property, they would pretend to turn a blind eye.

In the palace, there are real birds with the same fate. When the disaster strikes, they all fly away.

Emperor Chongzhen was drinking. At this time, he heard outside the city, the horns soaring into the sky, the war drums rumbled, and countless people screamed. When he heard it, he heard that many people were shouting: "The city is broken! The city is broken!"

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt like he fell into an ice cave and felt chill all over. He knew that it was only a matter of time before the Chinese army captured the capital, but he still did not expect it would be so fast.

Seeing the city in chaos and noises surged into the sky, he knew that the city was completely in chaos. Out of an instinctive reaction, he threw down the wine glass in his hand and ran towards the Golden Palace.

The emperor was thinking that at this moment, the city was in chaos, and ministers should gather in the court to discuss national affairs and countermeasures.

But when he walked into the Golden Palace, he found that there was no one else except a few eunuchs, which frightened him. He said loudly: "Have the ministers not received the news yet? Has no one sent a order to the court meeting?"

After no one answered, he ran to the big bell outside the hall and rang it himself.

The bell is the call of the court meeting. Whenever the officials in the imperial city heard the bell of the emergency court meeting, the ministers would immediately come and discuss countermeasures. However, Emperor Chongzhen hit the bell for a long time, but no one came. At this moment, he was truly desperate.

Chongzhen burst into tears, and he said loudly: "Oh my God! I didn't expect that people's hearts would come to this point! I have treated all the ministers without any fault, but all the ministers are treating me like this!"

Emperor Chongzhen fell into self-pity and pain. Wang Chengen, who was standing by, didn't know how to persuade him, just cried silently.

Chongzhen suddenly stood up, his face was pale and his eyes were fierce and he said loudly: "The Ming Dynasty is probably over! We are the people in the royal family, so we must be unlucky, but we must die with integrity!"

The emperor mainly thought that when the country was destroyed, the people in the royal family were so miserable and tragic. For example, after Song Huizong, when his capital was captured by the enemy, his queen, his concubine and many palace maids became the targets of the Jin people's venting. The tragic situation was unbearable to tell the Yan.

The emperor was thinking that as royal families and nobles of the emperor could die, but they could not die so without dignity, so he decided to run back to the harem immediately and order these imperial concubines to commit suicide.

Emperor Chongzhen was exhausted and rushed to Concubine Tian’s palace. When he rushed into Concubine Tian’s palace, Concubine Tian had already packed her luggage. She said, “Is the emperor here to pick me up and leave?”

Emperor Chongzhen said fiercely: "What are you leaving? As the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, I have been in the Ming Dynasty for 200 years, and I will not be in harmony! If I do not cede the land, the emperor will guard the country, and the king will die. Today, since the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, then I will commit suicide to repay my family and country."
