Beiyang new warlord

Page 596

On the city wall, his face was full of ferociousness and cruelty, shouting and cursing loudly, Li Benshen kicked over, and the Beijing camp officer kneeling in front kicked him off the city wall, screamed and fell down, watching this scene, There were thousands of defenders at Guangqumen in the Beijing camp, and they didn't dare to resist Li Benshen's dozens of people. Instead, they lowered their heads even lower. land.

On the street, the vanguard of the Guanning Army with torches rushed in first, controlling the street intersections one by one. The chaotic soldiers were like a magic box opened by Pandora. Disasters sprang out. It was the unwilling Guan Ningjun who couldn't control the beast in his heart. He didn't know which team started, and kicked open the door of the residents of the capital they had been protecting on the side of the street. , looting ferociously.

Rape, arson, murder, everywhere!

However, they were just the beginning. Following behind Guan Ning's army, Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu, Li Guo, and Li Yangchun's troops rushed into the city one after another.

Many modern historians in later generations described Li Zicheng perfectly, a great rebel, a leader who resisted feudalism, and the dawn of the people! It is a pity that this leader obviously does not have such a high level of consciousness. , the head and the other subordinates on the waistband were not there, and they were deflated like a plague, and quickly passed the Guan Ning army who attacked first, and the bright flames were completely released by their desires. Blooming among the most prosperous city streets.

The flames continued to spread inward along the streets of the capital. Indeed, under the cannibalistic rule of the greedy bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty, the common people suffered so much that they could not stop eating, but all the rules in the past were all If it is shattered, then only hell will come to the world.

And the opener of the gate of hell knelt respectfully at the gate of Guangqu Gate.

"Sinner Wu Sangui, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Turning a deaf ear to the shrill screams in the city, he knelt on the ground and respectfully held the Pingxi Boyin bestowed on him by Chongzhen and the Ningyuan Commander-in-chief on his head. General Jieyi anxiously waited for the new owner's fate.

Without those national and family hatred as an excuse, as a fig leaf, he still surrendered.

The fire also drove strong winds. The strong wind blowing from the Guangqu Gate made Li Zicheng's big red cloak flutter. Recklessly trying to mock his fierce general, he casually grabbed the two seals wrapped in yellow silk.

Wu Sangui immediately knelt to get out of the way, holding the seal in his hand, and on his waist was the Shangfang sword that Wu Sangui had surrendered and pledged here yesterday. With his subordinates, he strolled into the city gate again with the attitude of a conqueror , the houses near Guangqumen had been burned red by the fire of the military disaster, and the scorching heat came to his face, and the reflection of the soaring flames was reflected in his one eye.

The majestic capital city he was looking up to a few days ago is now completely trampled under his feet. Looking at the sea of ​​flames in front of him, Li Zicheng couldn't help raising his head, laughing ferociously, and punched the chaos in front of him with one fist. He grabbed it hard.

"The whole world is in the palm of my old Li!"

Chapter 567. Dinghu abandoned the world that day

The Ming Dynasty raised scholars for 300 years, and it raised such a group of guys.

With the most elite Yumajian warrior battalion in the Beijing camp, they were still shouting and drinking during the day. The first time Wu Sangui blew up the Guangqu Gate, Wang Dehua ran away. He barely ran out after being hit on the back.

Fleeing to Xuanwumen in embarrassment, the last elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were almost scattered by him. Looking back at the remaining hundreds of defeated soldiers, Wang Dehua knelt and cried, and kowtowed in the direction of the Forbidden City. He turned his head a few times, turned around, and surrendered to General Guoyi Liu Xiyao who was chasing him.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xiangyao, the eunuch guarding the city of Xuanwu Gate, and Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo of Qihua Gate, surrendered the city one after another. It has reached the Zhengyang Gate.

What's even more ironic is that Zhang Jinyan, the minister of the Ministry of War, who entered the palace overnight and devoted himself to planning for the country, didn't even have a decent organization to resist. He directly held the official seal and offered the gate at the gate of the city. On the top, the whole army was wiped out and the enemy was surrendered.

Different from history, at that time Chongzhen was desperate all the way to the end, without seeing a glimmer of hope at all, but this time it was really a disaster, and he was still thinking about who would divide Wu Sangui's power in Linfu Hall, suddenly, the sky fell down .

Standing at the Qianqing Gate at the main entrance of the Inner Palace and looking out of the palace, the eyes are full of bright flames. Not only the inside of the capital city, but also the front palace is in chaos. They ran around like ants on a hot pot, and there were even bold eunuchs who took advantage of the fire to rob, set fire to looting in the majestic palace, tore off the colored silk decorated with beams and columns as a burden, and fled out of the palace in a hurry .

The cries of the maids, the crackling sound of the front court hall under the strong wind, and the blown sparks flew to the sky in a row. Chongzhen was shocked and angry, his face was blood red, but it took a long time for a long time. Unable to speak, he vomited a mouthful of blood in the end, his face turned from red to pale in an instant, and Chongzhen exhaled incomparably sternly.

"Wu Sangui misunderstood me! Zhang Jinyan misunderstood me! All the ministers misunderstood me!"

"Your Majesty, be careful of the dragon body! Be careful of the dragon body!"

Seeing him staggering and almost falling off the city wall, his face turned pale with fright. Wang Chengen, who is regarded as the most loyal internal official, hurried behind to help him. Surprisingly violent, he had just reached Chongzhen's sleeve when the emperor slammed the sleeve, not only made him stagger, but also broke a sleeve of his own dragon robe.

I don't know if it was because the hearts of the people were scattered in the last years of the dynasty, and the maids didn't have hairpins for the emperor. The hair tied on Chongzhen's head also suddenly fell apart, and the disheveled hair was dangling with tattered clothes. Chongzhen lost his soul He staggered down the city wall.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Fearing that something might happen, he hugged the half of his sleeve, and Wang Chengen yelled and swayed to catch up with him. Seeing the emperor and the big eunuch rushing down, several young eunuchs were also holding their robes. He also wanted to follow, but who knew that the little eunuch at the end suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the necks of the two companions in front and yanked them back, the three of them met anxious eyes, and immediately left the small group, running in the opposite direction, hastily fled into the shadows.

People's hearts have been completely separated!

Those who become great should not give up until the last moment, just like Ishida Mitsunari who was defeated in the Sekigahara War in Japan, even if he was thirsty for water a few hours before being beheaded by Tokugawa Ieyasu, he refused to escort the samurai to find him. Come to jujube to quench your thirst, because jujube produces phlegm, even at the last moment, protect your body well.Emperor Chongzhen still retained some of this quality at least, and he swayed back to the Qianqing Palace in a daze. Just sitting on the cold dragon chair, he also made the last dying struggle for himself.

"Pass down my imperial decree, transfer Li Guozhen, the admiral of the Beijing camp, and Gong Yonggu, the captain-in-law captain, to send troops to escort him!"

"Old slave obeys!"

Panting violently, staring straight at the outside, and stuttering a few words, Chongzhen waved his hand out suddenly. No matter what, the leader still has something to do, just followed in staggeringly, Wang Cheng'en immediately nodded his head, he didn't care whether he saluted fully or not, turned around and ran out again.

Lonely! As soon as Wang Chengen left, Emperor Chongzhen was left alone in the entire palace. The yelling outside became more and more complicated. On his forehead and body, beads of sweat flowed out like rain.

"No! Daming can't perish! It can't be in my hands! I have to govern the country! Yes, govern the country and approve the papers!"

If you don’t do something, you’ll be crazy. Usually, eunuchs do it. For the first time, Emperor Chongzhen staggered down from the dragon chair and writhed in the apse. Not to mention, it really made him writhe. A lot came out.

The ones that might be here are basically seized from the memorials delivered by the cabinet from the cabinet by the supervisor of ceremonies. Usually, every one of them can make Long Yan furious. Open Chapter 1, it is the request for help from the Taiyuan magistrate , Taiyuan has already fallen, and was immediately thrown aside by Chongzhen. The next chapter is the prefect of Xiangyang impeaching Zuo Liangyu and looting. Chongzhen threw it aside, Chapter 3, but it was a flood in Taihu Lake again, asking for tax cuts.

There were seven or eight books, but there was not a good memorial. Just when Chongzhen was furious and knocked the pile of memorials to the ground, there was suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps at the door. He took out a spare Shangfang sword from the back wall of the hall.

Under his nervous gaze, Wang Chengen, who was sweating profusely, ran in dejectedly.

"Emperor, Your Majesty, something is wrong! Admiral of the Beijing Camp Li Guozhen, surrender, surrender! The son-in-law captain Gong Yonggu is missing, and everything in the palace is in chaos!"

"Your Majesty, this place is no longer a place to stay for a long time, please Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

With a bang, the sharp Shangfang sword slammed heavily on the ground, and Chongzhen also sat down on the ground limply. Even though Wang Chengen was supporting him and screaming for a long time, he didn't recover.

"The capital, really, really lost?"

After finally murmuring a word, Wang Chengen couldn't help but tremble when he heard it, but remained silent.

"Go, tell the prince, King Yong will come to Kunning Palace to see me!"

His eyes suddenly became extremely frightening, he pushed Wang Chengen away, his arms were trembling, and Chongzhen reached out to pick up the Shangfang sword that had fallen on the ground, and walked towards the harem shaking.

Looking at Chongzhen's back in a daze, Wang Chengen gritted his teeth and ran outside again.

The sudden incident also disrupted the order of the harem, and the once high-ranking concubines and concubines also became eclipsed. From the beginning of the incident, these concubines have fled to Kunning Palace one after another, but they didn't know it. abyss.

The rattling sound of iron dragging came, and every time it hit the heart of the person hiding in the Kunning Palace, the left hand was holding the corner of the skirt, and the right hand of Queen Zhou was holding a broken porcelain bowl. , pinched so hard, the sharp edge drew bright red blood on her no longer delicate hands, and she couldn't stop.Holding his sister, Princess Zhaoren, full of fear, Chang Ping also looked at the door with chattering teeth, and the eunuchs guarding the door were trembling all over.

With a bang, the door of the palace was kicked open, and the eunuch with his teeth and claws on weekdays, showing off his power, did not know where it was thrown. The eunuch with the big stick unexpectedly screamed, and all fled backwards, but only two steps away, one suddenly The little eunuch who turned back shouted in surprise and surprise.

"emperor!"

"His Majesty!"

Her heart relaxed, and tears flowed down her eyes instantly. Holding her skirt, Queen Zhou hurriedly greeted her.

"Your Majesty, are you alright! How is the war in the capital, and how about the elders? Does the Ministry of War have any countermeasures?"

Looking at her terrified face, Chongzhen didn't even have a romantic hug like in the TV, he just looked around dully, followed by Empress Zhou, those concubines and nobles rushed over crying and knelt down on the ground.

"His Majesty!"

After shouting several times in a row, Chongzhen, who was almost paralyzed, finally came to his senses, but his next words were extremely cruel.

"Zitong! The Zhengyang Gate has fallen, and thieves are about to enter the palace. You are the Empress of Ming Dynasty, so you should respect your identity!"
