The first person to discover that the Taiping Army was approaching Yangzhou from Sanwan was the Han army's Zuze Qing tribe, but Zuze Qing tribe could be described as "seeing the wind" to escape. Before the Taiping Army approached him, he led his troops to retreat into Yangzhou City.

The Taiping Army advanced all the way north, and no Qing army encountered along the way dared to stop it. When they arrived at the city, all the thousands of soldiers deployed by Oboi outside the city were indented into the city.

Because the Qing army destroyed several bridges on the main roads when they retreated, and there were dense waterways in the southern part of Yangzhou. Although they were not big rivers, the Taiping Army was inconvenient to move without the bridge. Therefore, the Taiping Army sent troops in the morning and set up floating bridges all the way until it appeared under Yangzhou city in the afternoon.

The news that the Taiping Army approached Yangzhou made the Qing army and civil and military officials in the city nervous. Everyone thought that the thief scholar was using the power of victory to attack Yangzhou City, and even Shunzhi thought so. However, when he got on the top of the city, he breathed a sigh of relief. The Taiping Army under the city saw tens of thousands of people and horses forming several large formations, with infantry and cavalry on the side, but they did not carry siege weapons, and they even had artillery. The posture of the Taiping Army did not look like siege, but rather was like showing off their power.

Shunzhi looked very frustrated, but what made him even more frustrated was that he found that the cavalry on the left wing of the Taiping Counterattack were the two white flag soldiers who rebelled and surrendered. Their military uniforms had not been replaced. If they hadn't had red belts tied to their arms, they would have looked like the real children of the Eight Banners of Manzhou.

Shunzhi couldn't help but curse Dorgon's remnant in his heart, but his face was very calm. In front of his ministers, he tried his best to calm himself down.

In addition to the more than 20,000 defeated soldiers collected by Obai, the Qing army in the city also had more than 3,000 soldiers from the two yellow flags. The troops were far more than the Taiping Army outside the city. However, no Manchu and Mongolian general suggested that he go out of the city and fight against the Taiping Army again. Some timid Han officials were even scared to escape from the camp and sneaked into the civilians in the city. What's more, they all secretly snatched their braids and waited for the Taiping Army to enter the city gate to welcome the royal army. They were also open-minded, both of them.

It is to get a salary, but it is not to get it. If the Ming Dynasty is not good, they will join the Qing Dynasty; if the Qing Dynasty is not good, they will return to the Ming Dynasty. No matter whether it is Ming and Qing Dynasty, someone will have to manage it. If this yamen is separated from them, can they do it? Those mud legs are not as good as them, who have read books of sages and studied hard for ten years, and can they obey the king's transformation, abide by the king's laws, and receive the king's food? Whether it is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty or the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, if you want to settle down, you cannot live without them!

All officials were like this, and the soldiers were even more unbearable. There was a riot in the Qing army that was retreating. dozens of soldiers under the command of the Zhili Admiral Liu Dou, led by a general. In the camp, dozens of soldiers were yelling to open the city to welcome His Royal Highness the King of Qi from the Ming Dynasty, thinking about learning from the beginning of Beijing opening the gate to welcome the King of Chuang, or Nanjing opening the city to welcome the King of Yu, to make a first contribution. Fortunately, these people were eager to make achievements, but there was nothing to do. Before the matter was done, they were reported to Liu Dou. When Liu Dou knew about it, he was so scared that he quickly brought his personal soldiers to suppress it and cut dozens of heads to suppress the matter. Otherwise, God would know what kind of chaos would happen.

The Han officials and soldiers really responded to Sony's concerns and were unreliable. The Manchu and Mongolian generals were very calm in their minds of rebelling against the Ming Dynasty. Although the two white flags were rebelled, it was because of Dorgon. The other flags were still very loyal to the emperor. But they were loyal but their courage was gone.

Looking at the officials who were scared by the Taiping Army outside the city and looked disgusted, Shunzhi was so angry that he wanted someone to stand up and say that the slave was willing to lead the army out of the city and compete with the Taiping gang, but the facts made him very disappointed, and even Oboi did not mention a word of war.

Oboi wanted to fight, but his Manchu Batulu was not a false reputation, and his title of warrior was not picked up in vain, but was exchanged for blood and the heads of the Han people with one sword and one shot. When Dorgon was in power, he was constantly suppressed and even wanted to be beheaded twice. He survived. Not only was he not discouraged, but he became stronger. Therefore, the blow of a defeat would not make him passive and scared. However, in line with the Han people's words, he was willing to kill the thief and was powerless to turn the world back. Oboi wanted to fight, but others did not want to fight.

Fei Yanggu naturally did not dare to tell Sony, Obai and the others about the emperor's misconduct just now. Seeing that the emperor's face was ugly, the ministers were timid, as if they were scared by the Taiping Bandits, and were very angry. He wanted to ask for a fight, to slash the Taiping Bandits' prestige and save the adverse effects of the Sanwan defeat on the Qing army. Even if it was a little bit of morale, it would be fine, but before he could speak, another first-class guard Lang Tan exclaimed: "What are the bandits going to do!"

Following Lang Tan's gesture, Fei Yanggu saw a square formation of the Taiping Army suddenly shifting the sides, and then a large group of people were driven toward the city of Yangzhou. Fei Yanggu looked carefully. Those captured seemed to be Manzhou soldiers with two yellow flags, one of which was his brother-in-law, the Ganling Tudabai of the Yellow Flag.

Fei Yanggu turned his face away in pain, then turned his head back, and looked at Tudabai again, becoming so strange and ruthless.

The Manchu and Mongolian generals whispered and discussed what the Taiping gang's actions meant. Some said that the Taiping gang wanted to drive Manchu and Mongolian prisoners to attack the city, some said that they were taken to the city to persuade the surrender, and some said that it was neither attacking the city nor persuading surrender, but they just used these prisoners to disrupt the morale of the army in the city.

The discussion reached Shunzhi's ears. Shunzhi frowned and his face was gloomy. Seeing this, Sony coughed gently, and then he was silent, and the civil and military officials were silent. No matter what the situation is now, the emperor is the emperor.

When Shunzhi frowned, he was also thinking about the intention of the thief scholar's move. He thought that the other party would definitely not attack the city, otherwise why would there be no siege equipment and artillery? He guessed that the thief scholar was coming to demonstrate and shocked him.

"Fei Yanggu, you have good archery skills. If a thief comes to the city later, no matter what he says, you will shoot him to death! ... I ask you, can you shoot?"

Shunzhi was a little worried. If Fei Yanggu could not kill the thief envoy with one arrow and asked the thief envoy to run away, then the morale would not be improved, but would be lowered.

Fei Yanggu said confidently: "Don't worry, your thief is within 150 steps, the slave will definitely be able to shoot him!"
