The explosions that Oboi heard were like signals. After less than a stick of incense, Shunzhi Carriage appeared in the northern city of Yangzhou.

The emperor's sudden appearance shocked the Qing army stationed in the northern city, and they immediately received the order to open the city gate. After the city gate opened, thousands of Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers surrounded the emperor's carriage and drove out in the night, rolling northward.

Shunzhi left the city in a hurry and did not even come to explain the city defense of Yangzhou. Except for the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia, the rest of the troops were not communicated, so many officers followed the army did not know until the chaos in the city.

When Ye Fangai, Tanhua Lang, heard the chaos outside, he was drinking with officials from Yangzhou Prefecture and other officials in the government office. He said it was a drink, but they were in the mood to drink. Everyone talked about it and turned around a center, that is, is the Qing Dynasty really over? If the Qing Dynasty really can't be saved, what will happen to them, the Qing officials in the future? The Taiping Army is very scary. If they don't think about themselves, they have to think about their children and grandchildren.

Alas, it’s a lot of people who are worried about their family’s life during the Chinese New Year. It’s too meaningless to do this.

Most of the officials were natives in Jiangnan Province, and most of the other provinces were Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang, and half of their hometowns were now occupied by Taiping Army. In the past, when the Qing army entered the pass, the Ming officials surrendered and they would not be worried about their family being implicated. Even if they were determined to die for the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty would not destroy their entire family because of this. Instead, they would praise them after the world was stable. This was almost an unwritten rule for changing dynasties for the past. Unexpectedly, the Taiping gang from Guangdong did not act according to the regulations, and threatened them to surrender by destroying nine clans and cutting off their descendants, which left them without a choice.

Let’s die for the Qing Dynasty. I will be done by myself, my family, children and grandchildren are also done. No matter how you calculate this business, you will lose a lot. The four words "Loyal ministers and no queen" sound sad, tragic, and sensational. How many people in the world can really do these four words?

All the officials who could appear in this government office were afraid of death, and those who were really not afraid of death would not come here. What is their purpose for gathering here?

It was just a night of gathering and worried all night, but everyone couldn't make a conclusion. It's not that they didn't have the courage to make up their minds, but that Yangzhou City is still from the Qing Dynasty. The emperor is here, who dares to move lightly!

The Yangzhou prefect did not invite Tanhualang to come. Ye Tanhua came uninvited, and after coming, he integrated quickly. He actually revealed his intention to fly away when the disaster was coming. Soon, the officials of Yangzhou Prefecture did not regard Ye Tanhua as a camper, and did not avoid him. In the end, no one of them had the strength to speak. They all stared at the Yangzhou prefect Li Qinghe without hanging their heads. There was only one meaning in their eyes: Someone must lead this matter.

Li Qinghe was frowning and he had the courage to surrender, but he didn't have the courage to Kaicheng. He just wanted to follow the trend and join the crowd, but he didn't want to be the one who stood out. If things didn't happen, he would die first.

Ye Fangai didn't say anything. He heard the wind saying that the Han officials were gathering in Yangzhou Prefecture, thinking that there would be generals and assistants from the Han army and the Green Camp. If there were really anything to do, there would be a leader of troops and a chance to accomplish things. I didn't expect that they would be a group of civil servants. The scholars could not rebel for ten years, so what could they do? He regretted that he shouldn't have come here, but he saw the emperor's situation, and the Qing Dynasty might not be able to be saved.

If people do not care for themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth. If they study hard for more than ten years, is it just to be the Tanhualang of the doomsday dynasty?

Although the thief scholar was a scholar, he started from the army and had many bandits and robbers. He was powerful in conquering the world and governing the world would definitely not be able to use the literati at that time. He would have to value the literati. He seemed to be no longer popular in the Qing Dynasty, but the impact of investing in the past may be no worse than that of the governor of Huguang Zhang Changgeng. Why, he took the initiative to invest, but it was in line with the saying that scholars would return to their hearts. If he bought a lot of money for horse bones, the thief scholar would not value himself, and this person would not have reached today.

When everyone was stunned, an explosion sounded outside, which scared everyone. Li Qinghe called his followers to go to the city wall to see it, and reported that the Taiping Army did not attack the city, so everyone was relieved. But as soon as the heart fell into his stomach, the outside became in chaos again. It sounded so furious that it was shocking the officials.

Some officials went out to find out what happened by themselves, and some officials sent their entourages to go out. When the chaos was in chaos, Cai Shiying, the governor of the Cao Transport, came over in a panic, saying that the emperor had left. When everyone heard this, they felt sad first, and then they were happy.

Li Qinghe coughed dryly and said to everyone: "The emperor has left. Are you all going to leave the city too? I'm afraid I can't get out of the city if I'm late?"

After the words fell, no one moved. Ye Fang's feet seemed to be stationary, and it was impossible for him to chase the emperor.

"Then" Li Qinghe glanced at Cai Shiying.

Cai Shiying snorted slightly and waved his hand to instruct the officials: "Wait and go and greet the familiar soldiers and officers, so that they can all come here. I will discuss important matters with them."

Yangzhou City, which was already panicked, was in chaos because of the emperor's escape. The Taiping Army outside the city had not received the order to attack the city, and was unable to figure out what was going on in Yangzhou City, so they stayed outside the city and watched the show. Until dawn, the Taiping Army's explorer understood what happened last night.

After receiving the report that Shunzhi fled north, Zhou Shixiang was also stunned. He wanted to scare Shunzhi back to Beijing, but he didn't expect that Shunzhi had abandoned the city late at night and fled. Such a way of escape was really careless. He heard that an official in Yangzhou led his troops to surrender, Zhou Shixiang couldn't help but laugh immediately.

"Take Yangzhou City and ask Ma Yaozi to take people to chase after him. If you have any cheaper, get it. If you don't have any cheaper, let that boy Fulin go back."

After receiving the order from Zhou Shixiang, the assistant minister of Ma Yaozi, immediately organized a cavalry team of more than a thousand people to pursue Shunzhi. The two white flag generals, Wuerte, Gongjianse, Yue Deji and others also asked for the battle and asked to follow the army to pursue Fulin.

Because the Governor of the Grain Transport Cai Shiying connected a group of Han army green camps to surrender, Yangzhou City was soon taken down by the Taiping Army, and the Qing army had almost no resistance in the city, and more than 5,000 Qing troops were captured.

When the second town entered from the west gate, it was found that there were more than 400 Mongolian soldiers sitting behind the city wall. Most of these Mongolian soldiers were Outer Mongolian soldiers, and they had lost all their courage at this time. They took their Mongolian officers to beg for their lives in unfluential Chinese, claiming that they were just coerced by the Manchu people and did not share the same hatred with the Han people, saying that they were also the victims and victims. However, when a large amount of blood-stained wealth was found from them, Tieyi ordered the Outer Mongolian soldiers to be killed on the spot.

Yangzhou succeeded without any effort. Zhou Shixiang entered the city with injuries. When he arrived at the city, a group of officials led by Cai Shiying knelt on the ground. Zhou Shixiang looked up at the city tower, raised his horse whip, pointed at Cai Shiying and asked, "Is the person sitting in this city yesterday?

Cai Shiying said respectfully: "Reply to the words of the King of Qi, yesterday the one sitting on the city was Fulin of the Tartars!"

"Haha, I don't think that the person was still there yesterday, but today I left. I left quickly, and I didn't have time to send him off." Zhou Shixiang laughed and said to the generals: "Let's enter Yangzhou City!"

? "King Qi, wait!"

Zhou Shixiang was about to ride his horse into the city, suddenly a man came out from the crowd, and the blind Li subconsciously blocked the man.

When Zhou Shi met as a civil servant, he asked him: "Who are you?"

"Ye Fangai, editor of Xiaguan Hanlin Academy."

Zhou Shi seemed to have heard of this name, thought about it, and laughed: "Oh, it turns out that it was Tanhualang, why did he stop himself from entering the city?"

Ye Fanga smiled and said, "The Ming Dynasty's King's Army recovered Yangzhou City, and the officials were determined to be enlightened. Seeing the prince's mighty and majestic posture, they were extremely impressed. They were willing to lead the horse into the city for the prince."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shixiang smiled slightly and said, "I have been traveling through mountains and rivers until now. I have walked through all kinds of dangerous roads. Now I have to be alone in this Yangzhou city?"

Ye Fangai hurriedly said, "The prince does not need to lead a horse, but the nobles' heart of respecting the prince is as hot as the scorching sun. If the prince does not allow the nobles to steer, the nobles will regret it for life."?
