The city gate was wide open, and before there was enough time to put on the Qing army uniform, the Qing army in the green camp, who were still wearing the Ming army uniform, rushed into the city first, followed by the Eight Banners Bayala soldiers, and a large number of Eight Banners Aliha Chaoha soldiers and Mongolian cavalry who were dismounting and hiking.

Green camp soldiers, Eight Banners and Mongolians rushed into the city like a tide. Whenever people were wearing Ming army uniforms but not green cloth strips on their arms, or wearing blue arrow clothes and white felt hats, they would cut them up without saying a word.

The former Ming soldiers wearing mandarin duck war jackets basically knelt down and surrendered when they saw the Qing soldiers. Some of the soldiers wearing white felt hats and blue arrow clothes resisted, but the resisters were soon swallowed up by the military and civilians of the Qing army and the gentry.

Although some guys wearing white felt hats and blue arrow clothes are stubborn and resisting to the end, how can these deadly and hard-working stubborn elements resist the harmonious relationship between our Qing Dynasty royal army and the gentry in the capital? The king army supported by the gentry is great, and any guy who tries to stop the chariot will be crushed by the wheels of history.

As soon as the city was broken, Niu Jinxing, the Prime Minister of Dashun, disguised himself as an old farmer and fled from the capital. Although Niu Jinxing was a scholar, he was expelled from his fame and fortune for his crimes in the tenth year of Chongzhen. He served as a military force for three years and later joined the rebel army. He lived in the army for four years and no longer looked like a scholar. The black and thin Niu Jinxing put on his ragged clothes, wiped his face with mud, and escaped from the capital and headed straight to Shanhaiguan.

There were also some Shun Army soldiers who refused to surrender in the city. These stubborn guys took off their white felt hats, took off their blue arrow clothes, and put on the costumes of ordinary people, trying to escape from the city.

But the eyes of the masses were sharp, and most of these stubborn elements did not escape the eyes of the gentry. After being caught, these deadly and hard-working elements were punished as they deserved.

The Qing Dynasty royal army attacked the capital, and the civil servants and gentry living in dire straits finally breathed a sigh of relief. Happy days have finally come. You should know how excessive the thieves are. If the thieves do not collect grain from the mud legs, what should we do if hundreds of thousands of thieves? We had to collect them from the gentry! First of all, we torture the wages, cruelly exploit the gentry, and blackmailed the bones and marrows extorted 70 million taels of silver. It is said that these silver had been taken to Xi'an by the giant gang Yuan Zongdi a few days ago.

I just pinched my nose to endure it, but what I couldn't bear most was that Li Zicheng actually wanted to do the equal-field system! This is what really took the lives of the gentry! The silver could be earned back if it was stolen, but the equal-field was divided into all the land and distributed to those mud legs. The land was gone, so what should I do? Could it be that scholars could farm on their own like those mud legs? This is simply anger between man and gods!

"But I finally hope that the King's Army will come! The thieves will be in power, and we are suffering!"

"That's right, Chuang Ni said they would not collect grain from Mud Legs, and all this military pay fell on us scholars."

"The thieves are a group of thieves. After stealing the capital, they tortured their wages every day. The respected Shoufu Chen and Wei Zhuangyuan were all brutally killed. What a good person, Chen Shufu Chen, who took the initiative to donate five million taels of silver to the thieves, but he still couldn't escape their evil hands!"

"The family of Zhou Guofa is called "Bao". The wife was killed, and the son, daughter-in-law and grandson were killed. It's so miserable!"

"Scholars in the world, let's support the king's army together! Conquer the thieves and give me a bright world!"

The gentry were filled with indignation and were ready to form a group to go to Shanhaiguan to settle the score with Li Zicheng.

All the dangers in the city were cleared. Hong Chengchou rode a tall horse and entered the capital from Zhengyang Gate with a hundred white-armored soldiers.

"Master Hong is here with Master Wang!"

"God has eyes. Grand Secretary Hong defeated the thief and brought the king's army to save us!"

"It's good that Grand Secretary Hong is back, and I will give me the Ming Dynasty a group of officials!"

The gentry were talking, but a disharmonious voice came from the crowd: "Is Grand Secretary Hong not the old minister of the late emperor? He surrendered to Jiannu, isn't this unfaithful?"

"Who! Who is talking nonsense!" An old man with an old cane stood up and roared.

"It's him! It's him talking nonsense!" The young scholar who made the disharmonious voice could not escape the sharp eyes of the masses and was pulled out of the crowd by a group of angry scholars.

Someone recognized this. This was an old Tongsheng who had not passed the scholar exam for many years. As long as the Tongsheng who did not pass the scholar exam, he was not qualified to enjoy any preferential treatment from the gentry class, and that was a poor scholar. No wonder he dared to be disrespectful to Lord Hong. The scholars were angry, and their fists fell on the landed scholar like raindrops, beating him into pork.

"Don't beat them!" The old man stopped everyone. The old man walked to the scholar who had landed on the ground, "The young man was ignorant, and Grand Secretary Hong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, which was what everyone expected! He endured humiliation and was to save our people today!"

At this time, Hong Chengchou walked to the Jinshui Bridge, stood on the bridge, and shouted loudly to the scholars surrounding Chengtian Gate: "Dear scholars from all over the world! Our Qing Dynasty came to avenge the late emperor! After the regent defeated the thieves, he will welcome the prince back. At that time, everything will be restored. We will neither levy levies like Emperor Wanli, nor will we use eunuchs to harm the people like Emperor Tianqi! We will not harm the people like Emperor Tianqi! We will restore the dynasty of the Zhengying Dynasty during the late emperor's period! The regent is here and will lead the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers to eliminate the thieves and help everyone regain the lost land!"

"Okay!" There was a cheer from the crowd.

The brigade of Qing soldiers from the Eight Banners and Qing soldiers from the Green Camp entered the city. The gentry organized slaves and tenants to welcome them. When the Qing soldiers passed through the streets, some gentry presented them with food, pig heads, fine wine, and a touching scene of the king's army.

In the Chen Mansion, who temporarily acted as the former prime minister of the Hong Grand Secretary's Mansion, Hong Chengchou sat upright on the chair in the middle of the lobby. On the left were civil officials such as Feng Quan, Wang Aoyong, Song Quan, Li Jiantai, Jin Zhijun, Dang Chongya, Chen Zhilin, Chen Mingxia, and other civil servants who had been newly surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. On the right were Wu Weihua, Li Rutai, Tang Yu and other military generals.

Hong Chengchou looked around: "Everyone, although our army has obtained the capital, it has been entrenched on Lianpeng Mountain south of Shanhaiguan. The bandits built a strong village to block our Qing Dynasty soldiers. I hope you will contribute money and work together to form a group training and cut off the food route of the bandits. As long as the bandits have no food, the general will be in chaos. Our Qing Dynasty soldiers will be able to wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop and welcome the prince of the Ming Dynasty! You will have a bright world! Once the prince ascended the throne, the Qing Dynasty soldiers will retreat outside the pass and make a brotherly country with the Ming Dynasty forever!"

Everyone believed Hong Chengchou's words, but they knew that Hong Chengchou could not really welcome the prince back. Once the prince fell into the hands of the Qing army, he would be killed by Dorgon under the pretext of a fake prince. Since the Qing army has arrived in the capital, it will not leave.

Next, Hong Chengchou asked civil servants to donate fabrics to change the newly-retired Green Camp army.

Soon, a group of civil servants gathered all the fabrics and paid for the money to hire tailors and craftsmen who made hats to make a large number of military uniforms.

The freshly baked Green Camp military uniforms were ready. Both the original Ming army and the surrendered Shun army took off their original uniforms, changed into green robes with the word "著" written on the front and back chests, took off their original goose yellow felt hat and white felt hat, and changed into white red tassel hat. This is the summer clothing of the Qing army in Green Camp, blue robes, and white red tassel hat; the winter military uniforms are dark blue robes, dark blue red tassel warm hat.

The gentry also formed the Jian Gong. The Jian Gong uniforms were also blue-colored clothes like the Qing soldiers in the Green Camp, but the characters written on the front and back chests were not "王", but the characters "门" were written on them.
