Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 291
Bai Mingxiu's military uniform was stained with blood and dust, and even the bloody horse under his crotch was somewhat dirty.His Royal Highness looked at the towering Shuncheon city wall in front of him, and his mood was much calmer than he imagined.

"When I landed from Dagu, there were only 5000 people, how come it has become 40 people now..." Bai Mingxiu turned his head, and saw that the crowds behind him were all the heads of people lined up. The feeling of being forced to become what it is today.

The original total strength of the Ming Dynasty's Restoration Army was not that large. In order to cope with the situation, Bai Mingxiu spent crazy money to buy troops, which finally created the current situation.Now Bai Mingxiu is very worried about a problem, that is, Ming's military expenditure cannot pay the wages of so many people.

It is not cost-effective to exchange krypton gold for the army. These soldiers can only serve for 3 years and then retire.Moreover, Bai Mingxiu insisted on treating system mercenaries equally and providing them with wages equal to his own rank and position.It was extremely difficult for Bai Mingxiu to support the 20 Ming Dynasty Restoration Army, and he accidentally got 40 people, even if it was a sellout, Bai Mingxiu couldn't handle it.

"Well, if it doesn't work, let's build a legion and develop remote areas or colonies. On the one hand, they have combat capabilities and on the other hand, they can also do construction. At the very least, they can pay themselves wages." On the eve of entering Beijing, Bai Mingxiu was actually Get overwhelmed by these things.

After killing Dorgon and the Three Emperors of Kang, Yong, and Qianlong, Bai Mingxiu gained another 500 million gold finger coins. Bai Mingxiu was not too worried about materials. He could exchange a large amount of gold for salary, but in the final analysis, he still had to be sustainable. Sexually, there is still nothing after the gold is released. Furthermore, it is not a good thing to cause the price of gold to plummet.

"Hey, this is a sweet worry. After all, my 31 members of the Ming Fuguo Army of the Normal University are all educated people who can read and write, and they are also very reliable in thought. Although they don't have any production skills, they can be trained. Now it is necessary to drive Daming to quickly enter the industrialized society and modern society, and these people are also indispensable."

After thinking about it this way, Bai Mingxiu became much more comforted.

While he was thinking, there were sporadic gunshots in front of him. It turned out that the Ming army had already started to attack the city.Compared to the big battle in the copy, attacking the capital has become a little like a child's play house.The Ming army just pulled six cannons and bombarded the city. After the soldiers fired their guns, the city defense collapsed. The Ming army soldiers went to the city with siege tools and successfully captured Guangqumen.The other group of troops went north and captured Dongzhimen and Chaoyangmen, and finally they took down Deshengmen and Andingmen from the north.

Bai Mingxiu also sent a large number of cavalry to carry out activities in the north and west of the city to intercept all Manchu nobles who tried to escape.

At the end of summer in the 17th year of the Yongli calendar, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty came to Beijing to supervise the country.

Today's Beijing city is even weirder than when the Shun army entered Beijing or the Qing army entered Beijing.The strange thing is that the Han people in the outer city just closed their doors, but they are looking forward to the return of Ming Dynasty; while the Manchus in the inner city are desperately trying to escape.

In Bei'anmen of the imperial city, Xiaozhuang is completely dressed as a peasant woman, and even put some plaster on her face for the sake of realism, and carries a small burden on her back.The little Tartar Emperor Xuanye also took off his dragon robe, and wore a ragged piece of clothing that was even patched.From these things alone, it can be seen that the Qing court had long been prepared for the escape.

"The Ming army attacked the city too fast. I originally wanted to leave the capital at night, but I didn't expect that the Ming army had already attacked the city today, and the Eight Banners were banned from traveling. It was so useless!" Xiaozhuang said with a gloomy face.

Xuan Ye was also very panicked, but there was a young man pretending to be mature and calm. Instead, he comforted his grandmother and said: "Grandmother, in the future, grandson will reorganize the army and regain the country!"

Originally, Xiaozhuang should have been greatly relieved to see Xuan Ye being so ambitious, but now Xiaozhuang said bluntly: "In this Central Plains, we probably won't be able to come back, but the Qing Dynasty is not that easy. Those who perished outside the customs and in Mongolia are still our world. The Jurchens are not afraid of severe cold or wild beasts. They have lived in the white mountains and black waters for so many generations, and they will definitely continue to live."

Xiaozhuang is very clear that all the efforts they are making now are only for the survival of the Manchurian nation.She couldn't imagine how the Prince Nanming, who hated the Manchus deeply, would slaughter the Manchus after he entered the city-even though Bai Mingxiu's methods were a fraction of the crimes they had committed against the Han people.

If it is a calm "North Hunting", Xiaozhuang and Xuanye can still have a large group of guards and soldiers and horses, but now that the Ming army has entered the city, and may even invade the imperial city soon, Xiaozhuang and Xuanye can't escape. Leave too big a goal.They could only pretend to be fleeing civilians, leaving only a few entourages, and only after leaving the city, they contacted Fei Yanggu and other Qing troops sent out of the city before to escort them to Zhangjiakou.

In order to make the entire escape plan well-planned, although Xiao Zhuang and Xuan Ye's grandparents had only a few people in their team, they had to pretend not to know each other, and scattered around were other guards disguised as fleeing people.Their plan is to pretend to be the people who have escaped from the city, like a drop of water mixed in the river and sea, so they will naturally not be found.

Xiao Zhuang warned Xuan Ye: "Don't talk, don't show your identity, you just learn what the little eunuchs around you are like."

"Forget it, Grandmother."

Xiaozhuang patted him, "Call me grandma."

Just as they left Bei'anmen, passed Chongguo Temple, and were about to escape out of the city, Xuan Ye said that he was a little thirsty.Even though Xuan Ye claims to have practiced martial arts since he was a child, he is still a pampered young gentleman in the palace, especially in such a tense environment, he is very easy to get tired.

An old eunuch tremblingly held a water bottle and said to Xuan Ye: "Young master, drink it."

Xuan Ye took the kettle and drank.

He had just taken a few sips when he suddenly threw the kettle on the ground and shouted, "This water tastes weird!"

The old eunuch's face changed, and he shook out a dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed the little emperor's neck with one edge!
"Tartar! The miscellaneous family has been lurking in the deep palace for 20 years, and finally this day has come! I want you to know that the miscellaneous family, Zhang Kuizhen, an unknown man in the East Factory, assassinated Tartar today, and he will die soon, hahahaha! The crown prince will kill you all!" Kill them all!"

Xuan Ye fell to the ground and clutched his neck, blood arrows flew out, the scene was extremely frightening.

When Xiaozhuang saw this scene, he almost fainted. The guards who followed them had no idea that the old eunuch following them was actually someone who had been hiding from the Ming Palace.
