#102 - Storms gather in Beiping City

Before they knew it, half a day had passed.

During this time, Liang Yue had been wandering within the Imperial History Office, quietly browsing the books stored here.

At this moment, he was fully immersed in it, and time was quietly passing by him.

It wasn't until a knock on the door rang out abruptly, breaking the silence here.

Subsequently, a Qing Dynasty palace maid pushed the door open, carrying a food box in her hand, and then slowly and methodically placed several exquisite dishes on the nearby table.

This woman was not very old, probably only two or three years older than the little emperor, but there was already a sense of grace between her eyebrows. She wasn't particularly stunning in appearance, but there seemed to be a kind of magic about her that could create an illusion of wanting to be quiet when looking at her.

"Daoist Priest, it's time to eat."

After placing all the food, the woman stood aside with her hands clasped together, looking at someone not far away with a smile on her face.

Her red lips parted slightly, and her voice was as beautiful as a clear spring in the mountains, making people reluctant to leave.

Liang Yue's expression suddenly froze when he heard this, but then the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved up.

He gently put the secret book in his hand back in its original place, and then pressed his palm on the tall solid wood bookshelf in front of him, his eyes sweeping over the vast collection of books.

With a thought, the bookshelf and piles of books in front of him were taken into the stronghold world.

"Go back and tell Kangxi that they have two days to pack their bags, then gather their troops and get out of the capital. Two days later, I will start attacking the city.

If you dare to plunder the people along the way, I will chase you all the way to the so-called Shengjing and slaughter you all."

After saying this, Liang Yue ignored the woman's surprised and shocked face, and took one bookshelf after another, taking away the centuries of book collections from the Imperial History Office.

After a while, this vast place of book collection became empty!

"I mean what I say~"

Afterwards, Liang Yue, in front of the other party, took an iron pickaxe and knocked and beat on the floor, repaired and patched it, and then disappeared into the ground.

… …

Soon, not long after Liang Yue escaped into the ground, the woman brought the news back to the dignitaries and the little emperor in the imperial city.

After the failure of the surrender, the Tartars were immediately thrown into chaos.

Liang Yue didn't know how they discussed and weighed the situation afterwards, but since then, the Qing court's troops began to mobilize more and more frequently.

One after another, messengers or homing pigeons carrying messages were scattered in large numbers.

Outside the city, the 10,000-strong Banner army that had returned with Ao Bai was immediately transferred into Beiping City.

After Liang Yue's slaughter, the number of this team had been reduced to less than 6,000, but their return had stabilized the Qing court's mentality to a certain extent.

When the time came to the morning of the second day, Beiping City was officially plunged into chaos. The granaries located throughout the capital became the focus of the Qing court's troops.

A large amount of stored grain was taken out of the warehouses and transported out of the city gates, embarking on the road back north in advance.

In addition, boxes of gold and silver were also transported out of the imperial city, along with the grain and grass, and continuously transported out of the city.

But at this time, the Tartars' troops in the capital were actually very limited.

They were also uneasy about the Han Chinese Green Standard Army, whose eyes were now becoming more and more fierce and meaningful as they looked at them.

As for the conscription of civilians, Liang Yue was watching them closely. After he shot and killed a Banner army that was forcibly conscripting young men to transport grain, gold, and silver, this kind of thing never happened again.

As for the Manchu children, soldiers' families, etc., living in the capital, they were probably unable to move their own belongings, and the various materials that could be transported were ultimately limited.

The losses along the way were estimated to be ultimately dependent on the grain and grass transported by the Banner army.

… …

Two days later, Liang Yue was standing on the tall city wall of Beiping City, looking at the group of people who were drooping their heads and slowly moving away with a sense of frustration, feeling unspeakably relaxed in his heart.

Beside him, the long-unseen Father and Son Jie, the old abbot of Shaolin Temple, and Chen Jinnan, the legendary leader of the Heaven and Earth Society who was more famous than he had met, were now impressively in the ranks.

In addition, Hong Xiguan's companion, the Red Bean girl, and her mother, Zhu Xiaoqian, a group of martial monks from Shaolin Temple, a group of hall master members from the Heaven and Earth Society, and the vanguard representatives of various rebel armies had also come to the capital during the turmoil of these days.

Everyone was now with Liang Yue, facing the morning sun in winter, looking at the group that was moving away, with different expressions on their faces.

"Just let them leave like this?"

Hong Xiguan seemed unwilling at this time, holding his fatal throat-locking spear, staring at the backs of those people and said.

"I've killed enough people, and I don't want to be stained with too much blood for the time being. Besides, it's good to leave an enemy in the north for myself. It can remind the people of China to be self-reliant and prevent enemies from further north."

Speaking of this, Liang Yue couldn't help but think of the treaty in history that made people laugh and cry when they looked at it.

It was said that they were fighting against the northern Maozi invaders and won~

Then Kangxi took the initiative to send the other party a large piece of land, and also called it both kindness and power…

This is really not taking his own territory seriously!

Now that I've driven you back to your Shengjing, in another ten years or so, it is estimated that the Maozi will run over to attack. Then we'll see what you do~

"Then I don't know, what are Daoist Priest Liang's next plans? At this time, the Tartars are retreating to the north, and the Banner troops distributed in various places are also in low spirits and have been repeatedly defeated and annihilated.

Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, and others have also taken advantage of the situation to rise up. It is foreseeable that the land of China will be in a civil war for a long time to come, alas~!"

Chen Jinnan said with a solemn expression at this time.

To a certain extent, representing the Zheng family in Taiwan and the Mu family in Yunnan, his perspective on looking at problems is broader than that of ordinary people in the pugilistic world, but he still cannot escape the shackles of the pattern.

"Next, I will go to Shanxi to settle those rebellious people, and then I will go north for a turn."

"Shanxi? Is Daoist Priest Liang referring to?"

"The Eight Great Royal Merchants."

"The matter of stabilizing the capital will be left to the Chief Chen! I want to go with Daoist Priest Liang!"

"Hero Hong should stay in the capital. After all, you still have a wife and children to take care of, and although the Qing court's troops have retreated, there must be no less assassinations in the dark. I am a little worried about the safety of Chief Chen."

"This… Alright."

"This old monk can't wait to go with Daoist Priest Liang!"
