Zhao Ming shot nearly a thousand letters into the city and was discovered by the Qing generals who were patrolling the city.

In fact, the treatment of the Han army in the Dongqing Dynasty was far better than that of Dorgon. During the Fulin era, their loyalty was also higher than that of the former Green Camp.

After the split of the Qing Dynasty, the power of the Manchus in the Eastern Qing Dynasty was weakened, and Ajige had to rely on the Han warlords in the territory.

Therefore, although Henan belongs to the Dongqing court in name, it is actually a separate kingdom and Henan officials appointed him and did not pay taxes.

In addition, the Han army controlled by Ajige also distributed land and enjoyed privileges like the Eight Banners.

The Han army's loyalty to the Dongqing Dynasty was actually very high.

Xuzhou was in a rapid collapse, mainly because Ajige regarded Xuzhou as a pawn. The defenders realized that only by the way to defend the city would he betray the Dongqing.

After all, life is more important than interests.

Although the Han army's loyalty to the Dongqing Dynasty was not as low as Zhao Ming thought, and they also wanted to maintain the rule of the Dongqing Dynasty and thus protect vested interests, "If one is not my race, his heart will be different." This sentence is the case for the Han people and the Manchus.

In the battle of Xuzhou, Ajige regarded the Han army as a abandoned son, and now, he guarded the city of Beijing and concentrated the Han army with the outside city.

These behaviors all show that even Ajige himself did not believe the Manchu and Han family promoted by the Eastern Qing Dynasty.

At present, a large part of the defenders in the outer city actually want to contribute to Dongqing.

After all, if the Eastern Qing Dynasty was destroyed, the military fields under their names would have to be taken away by the Ming Dynasty, and everyone would have nothing to say, and they might be killed. Even if they didn't die, they would have to be exiled to farm in the bitter and cold land outside the pass.

Therefore, the Han army actually wanted to contribute to Dongqing, but Ajige was wary of them and it didn't matter them.

Most of the more than a thousand letters were shot in the city, and only a small part of them shot into the outer city.

The soldiers guarding the city outside received the letter, but did not keep it privately, immediately reported it and sent it to the Prince Bolehe to contribute to the Qing Dynasty.

The content of the letter is very simple, which is to persuade the defenders in the city to surrender. As long as they surrender, no matter Manchu and Han, they will not be killed indiscriminately.

At the end of the letter, Zhao Ming also emphasized that because he could not bear to suffer the consequences of the people in the city, he shot three thousand letters and recruited soldiers to become soldiers, especially the Han army in the city.

Zhao Ming talked about the changes in China and the barbarians, and finally told the defenders in the city that as long as they were willing to surrender, they could send envoys to carry letters as tokens and surrender out of the city.

At the fifth day of the day, Beijing City was still shrouded in darkness.

However, the lights in Ajige's bedroom were brightly lit. In addition to overeating and not taking a bath, Ajige has another problem recently, that is, he cannot turn off the lights when sleeping, and large wax is everywhere in the bedroom.

At this time, Ajige had just fallen asleep, and a eunuch outside the hall plucked up his courage and called out: "Emperor~"

Ajige couldn't sleep well, and he was like he had half his eyes when he was sleeping. A slight sound could wake him up.

"Who?" Ajig sat up suddenly and whispered with red eyes.

The eunuch shivered when he heard the sound and kowtowed, "The prince has an emergency military report."

Ajig rubbed his forehead, sat for a while before saying, "Let him in!"

Soon, Bolech entered the bedroom with red eyes. Like Azig, he had bad sleep and had insomnia all day and night.

"Ama!" Boleh saluted thousands of people.

Ajig waved his hand and said impatiently: "If you have anything, I have to report it at this time."

Boleh hurriedly escaped a letter and presented it to Ajig, "Emperor Ama, a letter shot from outside the city!"

Ajige frowned. He felt that he had nothing to talk about with Zhao Zamao, but he took it and opened it to watch.

Just a quick glance, Ajige knew that Zhao Ming was fighting a rabbit with a jujube or a jujube or a jujube. He didn't have much sincerity to surrender, and he was simply a move to disrupt his morale.

"Emperor, this letter~" Bolehe urged his courage and whispered.

"This is Zhao Zamao's move to disrupt my military morale. What kind of letters of surrender? Is it for me to shoot three thousand letters to enter the city? "Ajige shook the letter and cursed loudly, "This Zhao Zamao's scheming is getting deeper and deeper."

"Send the order and confiscate all the letters that have been shot into the city. Those who dare to have private hiding will be killed immediately!" Azige angrily crushed the letters into a ball.

Seeing this, Boleh had to swallow what he said.

"My son receive the order!" Boleh kowtowed to take the order.

Azig waved his hand and asked Boleh to retreat and fell on the bed, trying to sleep for a while, but tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Soon, it was dawn, and Aziger got up with bloodshot eyes, and at this moment, Boleh hurriedly came to report again.

"Emperor Ah, my son ordered people to confiscate the letters, but they only received 600 letters, less than 30%. Moreover, most of these 600 letters came from the inner city, and less than 100 letters were collected in the outer city." Bolehe was panicked.

Zhao Ming said he had shot three thousand letters, but he had only collected six hundred letters. Even if some of them fell into the moat, more than half of the letters were hidden.

Furthermore, looking at the ratio of confiscation in the inner city and the outer city, he felt that the Han army in the outer city had at least two thousand seals hidden.

This made Bolehe very nervous. What did those people collect books and letters to do, so they naturally wanted to surrender to Zhao Zamao.

For a moment, Bolech felt that everyone was indifferent to heart, and that Beijing City was full of loopholes and was no longer safe.

Ajige was also stunned when he heard the word, frowned, and said with hatred: "Send someone to search and find out the private hiding person, and behead him directly, and his head hung on the top of the city."

The Xuzhou example tells Ajige that the key to sticking to Beijing is to eradicate hidden dangers in the city. Otherwise, no matter how strong the city is, if someone rebels inside, they will be easily captured by the enemy.

Bolech took the order again and led his soldiers to gather all the soldiers and generals who patrolled the city last night and searched one by one. Sure enough, more than ten letters were found.

This is really far behind Sanqianxun.

The news came to Ajige, but Ajige calmed down and understood that there might not be three thousand letters at all.

For a moment, Ajige couldn't help but curse Zhao Zamao and stopped Boleh's continued search.

However, the Qing army focused on searching the Han army in the outer city, which also made the distrust between the Han army and Ajige increasingly serious. As Ajige had no idea how much Zhao Ming shot, but he knew that there must be someone in the city who had private letters and wanted to surrender to Zhao Ming.

At this moment, Ajige could only order people to use stones to block the gates of the capital to prevent anyone from rebelling and opening the city.

At the same time, it was ordered that more than ten people who had found private letters were taken to the top of the city and beheaded and displayed on the public.

It is worth mentioning that these more than ten people are not all Han soldiers, but there are actually a few Manchus.

However, in order to avoid shaking the morale of the Manchus and creating the illusion of being a man of iron, Ajige ordered the Manchus to be executed secretly, but did not behead him at the top of the city with the Han army.

At noon, at Chaoyang Gate in the east of Beijing, more than a dozen Han soldiers were tied up and knelt on the top of the city.

Not far outside Chaoyang Gate is Ritan, where Zhao Ming’s temporary command is located.

At this time, Zhao Ming looked at the city wall with a thousand-mile mirror. The Qing army raised the butcher knife, beheaded more than ten people one by one, and then hung the head on the city wall.

Zhao Ming took the Qianli Miles Miles and said to the generals around him: "Ajige rejected Gu's kindness, and the troops will prepare to attack the city!"
