Although Alisandra is not old, she has been in the army for a short time and has experienced several wars. Therefore, she can watch the battle while chatting and laughing with Shang Yi, as if nothing is left.
Zhu Mei on the other side was in trouble. Although she had been out of the palace several times, she had to see a lot of worlds than ordinary princesses, but she had never experienced such a flesh-and-blooded battlefield. Although
The place where we stood was still a certain distance from the battlefield, but we could see it very clearly, not to mention a telescope. Seeing the soldiers of the Dashun Army falling to the ground one by one, screaming in the city, blood flowing, although
It was the enemy, and it felt terrible, and the smell of blood was swaying. I felt my chest qi and blood rolling, holding the city wall with one hand, bent down and vomiting.
Shang Yi and Yalisandra both knew that this was the normal phenomenon of going to the battlefield for the first time. Even the new recruits who were just starting to fight would feel that they were not drunk, let alone the princess who had always been pampered in the palace.
Therefore, Shang Yi also gently stroked her back and said, "Princess, it's too bloody here. Should we go to the back and have a rest? We will be able to win this battle."
Zhu Mai straightened her waist, looked at Shang Yi, and said, "I'm fine, Shang Yi, I can still hold on. The soldiers are fighting hard, you and Yani are commanding the entire army, only I am from the Ming Dynasty.
Princess, but I can't help with anything, so I can only watch the battle here, which is also for you and the soldiers. If I can't even do this, what's the use of me? So I will definitely be here
Keep watching.”
As she said that, she supported her body with the long sword that Chongzhen gave her before her death, and continued to pay attention to the war under the city. When Shang Yi saw it, he had to smile bitterly. Zhu Ma did inherit Chongzhen's strong character, otherwise
In another time and space, we will not end up in depression two or three years after the fall of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Alisandra handed over her kettle and said in a very stiff Chinese: "Princess, drink some water and it will be more comfortable."
Zhu Niu took the kettle, squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you."
Although the Ming Dynasty system prohibited the prince-consort from taking concubines, there was no explicit regulation on what to do if the wife and concubine married before marriage after marriage, because under normal circumstances, the court would not choose a husband with a wife as the prince-consort.
. However, forcibly breaking up other people's marriages has always been considered immoral. Therefore, when Empress Zhou wanted to choose Shang Yi as Zhu Mo's son-in-law, she had to do her best to recognize Ye Yao-chan as her adopted daughter. During this period
Afterwards, Zhu Mai thought it through and basically accepted the fact that Shang Yi had several women.
Although Zhu Mai was a little more strong-willed, she was not a jealous person. Of course, this was also a feudal ethics, which required women to obey the three and four virtues. After hearing Shang Yi talk about Yalisandra's life experience, he found that
She has many similarities with herself. After her family was destroyed, she was the only one left. Although Alisandra had a younger brother, she was wandering in a foreign land. To a certain extent, she was even more miserable than herself.
More.
At the same time, Zhu Meiyu also admired Alisandra for being in a foreign land, but she still took on the burden of her family and never forgot the responsibility of reviving the family. Therefore, although the two of them were not familiar with language and did not communicate much, they both had the same disease.
The feeling of being adjacent. After more than a month of getting along, she and Alisandra have established a certain relationship. Of course, for Shang Yi, this is of course a very ideal result.
Alisandra didn't want to watch the battle that was destined to end. Although her Chinese is not yet home, a simple conversation is still OK. Therefore, she also took on the task of taking care of Zhu Mai and let Shang Yi go
Command war with peace of mind.
At this time, the victory and defeat on the battlefield have begun to be announced. Although the Dashun Army paid a great price in the attack of Guangqumen, it still could not regret to move the position of the Merchant Army, and the Second and Fourth Regiments of the Merchant Army
He had already detoured to the rear of the two wings of the Dashun Army and entered the attacking position. Shang Yi saw it very clearly on the city tower, so he immediately issued an order to attack to them.
Zhou Shaohuan, the commander of the Second Regiment, and Wang Xin, the commander of the Fourth Regiment, immediately broke out from left and right to the side and rear of the Dashun Army. At this time, the Dashun Army's attention was all in front of the Guangqumen position, and he did not expect it at all.
There will be people coming out of their backs and being caught off guard. The entire team will immediately become in chaos.
The merchant army attacked from both wings did not use long-range attacks. First, they advanced and took turns to insert guns, and after the soldiers' muskets were fired, a series of grenades attacked the Dashun Army.
The fight made people fall and fall to the ground and die.
At this time, Shang Yi also ordered the soldiers guarding Guangqi Gate to launch a counterattack against the Dashun Army. The Dashun Army had a shadow on the Shang army in his heart, and after the position in front was severely blocked, Dashun
The morale of the army was also greatly affected, and was attacked by the reverse flanks. Therefore, everyone was frightened and had no intention of fighting. Many soldiers began to flee in all directions. Under such attacks on three sides, the Dashun Army soon
Being beaten to a complete defeat.
When Liu Zongmin saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately began to flee. At this time, he did not dare to escape to the inner city of Beijing, because Liu Zongmin didn't know how many troops the merchant army had now, and had no confidence in defending Beijing. Therefore,
It's better to run away quickly. Anyway, Liu Zongmin is very familiar with this trick. Although he entered Beijing, Liu Zongmin is still a bandit mentality. He can fight if he can't beat him, and if he can't beat him, he can run if he can. Anyway, this is how he has been through the past ten years.
Li Zicheng also told me that he was beaten away by the merchant army. Can I blame me? Fortunately, I have been in Beijing for a month. Liu Zongmin became familiar with the roads in Beijing, so he led hundreds of trusted guards through the streets and alleys.
Flee to the city by detour.
After the Dashun Army retreated, Shang Yi was eager to seize the inner city of Beijing, so he did not pursue it. He left a musket battalion to guard the Guangqu Gate, and then commanded his troops to attack the inner city of Beijing. This time, it was not Chongwen again.
The gate launched an attack, but led the military commander across the Temple of Heaven, arrived at the streets of Yongdingmen, and headed straight to Zhengyang Gate, which led to the palace.
At this time, almost all the troops left by the Dashun Army in Beijing were brought out by Liu Zongmin to fight against the merchant army. The Dashun Army left in the inner city of Beijing was less than 2,000. Although there were more than 200 soldiers guarding Zhengyangmen,
But the soldiers could see clearly on the city tower. Liu Zongmin was missing, and the merchant army rushed straight to Zhengyangmen. Who would dare to resist "hula" here again and then ran away.
Therefore, the merchant army opened the Zhengyang Gate effortlessly and entered the inner city of Beijing.
After entering Zhengyang Gate, the one who was directly in line with the famous Tiananmen Gate in later generations. After crossing Tiananmen Gate, it was the Meridian Gate of the Imperial Palace. Therefore, Shang Yi immediately ordered that the Second and Fourth Regiments immediately disperse the battalions as units, except for the artillery battalions, other
The six battalions divided the remnants of the Dashun Army in the inner city of Beijing. The new regiment divided the city gates of the inner city, and also strictly ordered all the troops of the merchant army to not invade the people. At this time, Zhu Ma was anxious.
Going to find the prince, King Yong, King Ding and others, Shang Yi also allocated a battalion to protect her.
Then Shang Yi and Yalisandra rushed to the palace with two musket battalions and cavalry battalions, and the Spanish mercenary battalions. Because the merchant army was used to strict military discipline, Shang Yi was not only interested in anything, but only the Spanish mercenaries were
What is most worrying is that the European army in this era is actually no different from robbers. They fight and grab it there. Although before entering the city, Shang Yi repeatedly ordered Spanish mercenaries and strictly prohibited them from robbing, killing and stabbing civilians, but
You can't trust them completely, so you can only feel at ease by putting them by your side and watching them with your own eyes.
The palace occupies most of the inner city of Beijing. Entering from Tiananmen Gate and passing through the Taimiao and Sheji Altar, Shang Yi led his troops to the Meridian Gate of the Palace.
After the Dashun Army entered the city, most of the palaces in the Ming Dynasty were burned down, and the remaining half were also damaged to varying degrees. Only the palace buildings near Wuying Palace were well preserved. Later, Li Zicheng and Shunzhi were respectively
The throne ceremony held in Beijing was completed at this time. The Forbidden City that Shang Yi saw before traveling through time were basically left over from the Qing Dynasty after he entered China.
However, after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he had always lived in the palace, so he was cleaned up in a neat manner. The eunuchs in the past were basically still there, but most young and beautiful palace maids were snatched away by generals at all levels of the Dashun Army. The rest
Almost all of them are middle-aged and above palace maids.
Along the way, Alisandra was also amazed all the way. She watched the game at Guangqu Gate before, but Alisandra was shocked by the majestic momentum of Beijing City, but after all, she was just standing on the edge of the outer city of Beijing.
It is impossible to see the whole picture. But after entering the inner city, Alisandra discovered that the scale of Beijing was huge and far above her imagination. After arriving at the palace, although most of it was burned down, it has been preserved since it was left.
It is not difficult to imagine how majestic and spectacular this palace was on that day.
Alisandra couldn't help but exclaim: "I thought Hangzhou was the largest city I've ever seen, but this city and this palace are simply too spectacular and incredible. In Europe, whether it's Madrid
Paris, Milan, Rome, or Istanbul, compared to this city, it is simply a small mountain village. Compared with this city, the Colosseum of Rome, the Greek temple, and the palace can only be regarded as a small house.
Only God can build such a great city and palace, but how do you do it. China is a place full of miracles."
Shang Yi smiled and said, "There are so many magical places in China, and you will see more in the future."
Alisandra shook her head and said, "I can only see this city and this palace. Even if I see any incredible things in the future, I will think it is normal."
The two of them were talking, and they saw a large group of eunuchs and palace maids coming out of the Xihe gate at the left and right sides, and welcoming Shang Yi to the palace. The leader was an old eunuch in his fifties and sixties.
Holding a large wooden box with exquisite decoration in his hand, after meeting Shang Yi, he respectfully knelt down and said, "Wang Dehua, Slave Cai, please see the General. The current jade seal is here to dedicate it to General."
