Chapter 144: The Last Day of Shengjing
In the middle of the night on July [-]th in the sixth year of Chongzhen, Liaodong, Shengjing

In the middle of the night, the moon is in the middle of the sky, the lights are sparse, and everything is silent.

Ever since His Majesty Huang Taiji entered the customs with the powerful troops of the Eight Banners, Shengjing suddenly became much deserted.

When Beijing changed hands, the nobles of the Banners and the loyal Han officials built new residences in Beijing, and successively brought the family members from Shengjing to Beijing to enjoy the blessings, the old capital of the Jurchens disappeared even more popularity.About [-]% of the mansion was completely empty, with only a few clumsy servants in charge of daily cleaning left.Ordinary Jurchen civilians were also moved to Shanhaiguan in large numbers to enrich the Beijing Mancheng, which is still under planning.

Therefore, even in broad daylight, there were not many people to be seen on the streets of Shengjing.And after nightfall, it is even more dark, like a dead city-all the "rich people" who can afford to light candles in this poor place in Liaodong are basically making a fortune in Shanhaiguan now!

Even the imperial palace in Shengjing is dark and empty at the moment.Those harem concubines, elder brothers, maids and eunuchs all moved to Beijing in batches in the spring of this year—as long as they have a little knowledge, they want to move to the world of flowers in Shanhaiguan.

Now in this huge palace, there are only a total of more than 20 guards who take turns to guard, and the battle in the Central Plains is so fierce now, all the Eight Banners with a little bit of ambition have gone to the southern battlefield to fight for their future. The guys staying here in the Shengjing Palace are basically old, weak, sick and disabled people who can't be used - anyway, the masters have already left, and there is nothing left to take care of such a pile of empty houses.

Next to the Phoenix Tower where the imperial concubine used to live, Sabusu, with slightly gray hair and a hideous scar on his face, was sitting cross-legged under a small tree, listening to the annoying cicadas all around, looking at the crowd The sky is full of stars, while drinking a bag of kumiss.

Under normal circumstances, the imperial guards guarding the palace would certainly not be so disciplined.However, the current situation does not seem normal.

First of all, the group of guards with the strongest martial arts skills and the best fighting skills had already followed Huang Taiji into Shanhaiguan to attack the Ming Dynasty last year.As for the second-class guards, they also escorted the concubines and princes and daughters to Beijing this spring.In the end, only a group of unwanted old, weak, sick and disabled were left in this empty palace.Many of them were originally not qualified to work in the palace, but because all the real guards were gone and there was really no one to recruit, they were forced to come over to make up the number. Naturally, one can imagine their discipline and military quality.

Secondly, the current Shengjing Palace is empty, there is no property to guard, and no master to serve.No matter how diligent you are, you will not be appreciated and promoted by your master.Conversely, no matter how badly you behave, as long as you don't make any big mistakes, such as setting fire to the palace or letting refugees and beggars settle in the palace, no one will punish you.

(Of course there are Manchu Qing officials staying in Shengjing City, but they are not eligible to live in the palace. And now that the Eight Banners have just entered the customs, all manpower and material resources must be tilted towards war, and they have no intention of staying in the abandoned old palace of Shengjing. How many supplies and manpower are left.)
Thirdly, Da Bei Le Dai Shan, who was driven back from the pass by Huang Taiji to guard Shengjing, was already old, frail and depressed.Just now, he was caught by Huang Taiji's design and severely punished, cutting off a lot of power, which made Daishan completely disheartened from then on. After returning to Shengjing in despair, he had no intention of going In charge, he just drank his worries at home all day long.As a result, Shengjing's discipline became more and more lax.

Therefore, tonight it was Sabsu's turn to be on duty in the palace, and he would drink in the palace without fear.

The night is as quiet as water, and the bright moonlight is like a transparent veil, gently spreading on the ground.The cool breeze of summer night blows, mixed with the fragrance of flowers and plants, but it can't calm the melancholy and loss in Sabusu's heart at all.

Speaking of which, Sabsu in the past was also a warrior who could fight bears and tigers with a short knife. Unfortunately, in the battle of Daling River last year, unfortunately, he was first shot in the left eye by an arrow, and then his right leg was shot. After being stabbed, he became a one-eyed dragon and a lame man, and his bones were also weakened.In addition, Sabusu was relatively old, so when other people happily poured into Shanhaiguan in batches to live a good life on the border of the Han people, Sabusu was left by his master to watch the house, so he could only Listening eagerly to the good news from the south one after another, my heart is full of envy and greed.

"...Oh, I'm old, it's really useless. Those three boys in the family are really too! It's been almost a year since I entered Shanhaiguan, and I don't know how to get someone to bring some good things back to my grandma. Fortunately, I used to do it every time. I went out to grab things for the first time, and I didn't forget to leave them for them..."

After taking a few gulps of kumiss, the aged Sabusu immediately felt a little drunk, and then remembered his three sons who were working under the Khan, and couldn't help muttering, "...wait When those unfilial boys come back, they must be taught a lesson..."

However, as the saying goes, drinking makes the heart more sad, no matter how much he complains, it can't change some sad realities.

Not long after, Sabsu drank most of a bag of kumiss.Just as he was licking his lips, he stood up staggeringly, and wanted to pour some cold water into the wine bag to drink for a while, but there was an indiscernible sound from a distance—the next moment, A blood flower bloomed on Sabsu's forehead, and he fell into the flowers, the wine bag in his hand fell on the spot, and the gurgling wine flowed all over the floor.

The next moment, a dozen or so figures in camouflage uniforms quietly appeared in the Phoenix Tower, which was supposed to be empty. Everyone's face was painted with black oil paint, and night vision devices were installed on their helmets.The leading captain was holding a sniper rifle with a silencer. After observing the surrounding terrain, he reported in a low voice to the radio receiver attached to the helmet, "...a target has been found, and it has been confirmed Clear, please instruct!"

"... Very good! Continue to expand the scope of reconnaissance, clear all targets in the palace, and leave no one alive! Please call back!"

"... Received, I understand!" The captain replied in this way, and at the same time made a few gestures to the special forces around him. All the well-trained special forces immediately nodded in understanding, and dispersed with their waists bowed. It opened and disappeared into the deep night...

At the same time, more and more soldiers in camouflage uniforms continued to enter the Shengjing Palace from the Vladivostok base through the [random door] in the Phoenix Tower.

Another two hours later, after confirming that all the living people in the entire Shengjing Palace had been shot to death, and all the palace gates were under control.The special forces simply moved the [Random Gate] out of the relatively narrow Phoenix Tower, and placed it in the open square between the Dazheng Hall and the Shiwang Pavilion.

Next, a group of soldiers from all corners of the country, all wearing camouflage uniforms, came out through this [random door], and looked at the Jurchens' palace curiously with the light of the dawn that gradually lit up on the edge of the sky. .But there were also quite a few soldiers who gritted their teeth with hatred on their faces. They obviously had a deep blood feud with the Jurchen Tartars in the past—many of the soldiers recruited by the Vladivostok Crossing Group were escaped Han people from eastern Liaodong...

Next, when the roosters raised by various households in Shengjing City raised their necks and let out the first crow in the morning, accompanied by a series of loud charging horns, the gates of various palaces in Shengjing Palace also opened loudly. Let the monstrous frenzy of death and destruction sweep across the entire city in an instant!
