Chapter 388: The King's Mansion is Destroyed

Historian Zhang Hongfa once said that hairstyles and clothing can best affect and change a person's sense of self-identity.

In real history, after shaving his hair and changing clothes, Wu Sangui's mentality has completely changed and he has consciously regarded himself as a member of the Qing army.

Now, Liu Zeqing, who has finished shaving her hair, feels the same way.

He looked at the familiar but unfamiliar in the bronze mirror for a long time, and smiled bitterly in his heart.

Alas, since you have embarked on this path of selling yourself, there is no way back.

When the Han people learned Hu Er's words, they scolded the Han people at the top of the city.

Maybe it's just myself.

After a long silence, Liu Zeqing squeezed out a smile and said to the Han people: "Since Liu has shaved his hair, then I will ask the envoy to take his family away and think it's a good thing for the time being."

The Han people sneered and claimed the crime, and took Liu Zeqing's two children and a pair of wives and concubines away.

With a low sob, Liu Zeqing watched them leave. Until his children, wives and concubines had completely disappeared, he covered his face and cried loudly.

Next to him, Li Huajing and Zheng Longfang stood like puppets.

After a long time, Liu Zeqing finally stopped crying. He raised his head, his face full of ferociousness: "When midnight arrives, our army will open four doors and amplify the Qing government troops. At the same time, General Zheng and our general will command the army and attack the key departments in Jinan City directly to make the first contribution to the contribution."

Seeing Liu Zeqing's ferocious look with his hair shaved, Zheng Longfang was so excited that he quickly responded: "Yes, I'm going to obey the order."

But what Liu Zeqing would never have thought was that when he began to nervously dispatch his subordinates to prepare for their internal affairs, the inspectors of Jinan Prefecture, the inspectors of the Censor Song Xuezhu, the governor Zhang Bingwen, the military prefect Zheng Qian, the prefect of Jibei Gou Haoshan and others were also gathering crowds to discuss.

"Song Inspector, I dare to predict that the Shandong General Liu Zeqing, who forcibly sent us to the point of not urgently arrange the city defense, is absolutely unspeakable. It is very likely that he will surrender to the Qing captives secretly, so we must beware of it!" said Zhang Bingwen, the governor, said worriedly.

"Zhang Buzheng said that now that the army is approaching, Liu Zeqing deliberately is not prepared and is numb and insensitive. He is extremely ulterior motives. We really have to make plans early." Bing Beidao Zheng Qian added hurriedly.

"Song Inspector Song, from the following point of view, the current situation is difficult and Liu Zeqing is ambiguous and difficult to rely on. It would be better for us to organize the militia in the city and guard the important places such as the government and the Qiankuang first. Even if we can defend for a while, it will be considered as doing our best for the country." The prefect of Jinan Gou Haoshan said with a serious expression.

After listening to everyone's advice, Song Xuezhu stroked his long beard and finally nodded heavily.

"Everyone said that Liu Zeqing's behavior is suspicious and it is really difficult to rely on. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, we should serve the country with loyalty. Just like a kind-hearted view, we should withdraw the militia in the city to the government's money treasury, and once there is a change, we will defend it to the death."

Everyone agreed, and Song Xuezhu said again: "The time to resist with these hundreds of militias is limited. We must urgently mobilize young and strong people to help them come to assist the defense office and the money treasury, which is appropriate."

"Yes, yes, no matter how much you can mobilize, one more person will have more effort. Then, let me go with the prefect Gou," said the governor Zhang Bingwen, nodding in agreement.

"Okay, Zhang Buzheng and Gou Prime Minister went to mobilize the young and strong, and they were the first to lead the militia in the city and the heavy land of money and grain. Without further ado, we immediately took action. "Song Xuezhu made a quick decision and made a decision immediately.

On this night without the moon and starry sky, time passed every minute. Liu Zeqing and others were secretly preparing to open the city to offer surrender, while Song Xuezhu and others were nervously arranging militias and the temporary convening of more than 300 young and strong men to guard the government and the heavy land of money and grain.

In Jinan, undercurrents were surging, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing and heavy.

Time finally came midnight.

At this time, the Qing army outside the city raised countless torches as if they had received unified orders. At first glance, it looked like stars, surrounding the entire Jinan City.

Seeing that the Qing army had moved, Liu Zeqing, who had been stationed on the Ximen Tower, had a cold smile on his face.

He nodded to Zheng Longfang beside him and signaled for a moment. Zheng Longfang understood and immediately issued an order to open the four doors to welcome the Qing army into the city.

The shrill sound of the swan horn sounded all over the entire Jinan city wall. With the continuous sound of booming sound, the suspension bridges of the four gates of Jinan were all lowered, and the city gates were completely opened.

Yue Tuo, outside the city, saw the suspension bridge in Jinan City from afar, and the joy on his face was beyond words.

"So quickly pass the order of my general, and we will join forces to enter the city. First, we will attack important places such as government offices and money warehouses. After these important places are successful, the entire army can plunder for three days, and the children of wealth can be taken away by their children!"

"Yeah!"

In the dark night, countless Qing troops holding torches were rushing towards Jinan City like black frenzys rushing from all directions, as if they could swallow this thousand-year-old ancient city in one fell swoop.

At this time, Song Xuezhu and others, who were leading a group of militia and young men, guarding the government and the money granary warehouse, were all pale and full of terror.

Liu Zeqing, who was so arrogant, actually rebeled against the court and surrendered to the Qing army! Although he had already made a response, when he saw Liu Zeqing really open four doors and welcome the Qing army, Song Xuezhu and others were still extremely shocked and angry.

"Everyone, the dog thief Liu Zeqing has rebelled against the Ming Dynasty as a tiger as a gangster, and it is really a crime that cannot be punished! We must now guard this government and a heavy land of money and food. We are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and we will be here today, and be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor!"

Song Xuezhu's eyes were filled with tears, and he shouted this sentence loudly.

"Song Xunzhang, Prime Minister Wen of the Great Song Dynasty said that since ancient times, no one has died, so we can leave a loyal heart to shine in history! We are just wise ministers, and we should die for the country and the emperor. If we can die here today, it is considered a place where we have passed away forever." Zhang Bingwen smiled tragically.

The military prefect Zheng Qian and the prefect of Jinan were kind, and also expressed their voices loudly and passionately.

Seeing that these high-ranking officials who were rare in the past were willing to fight to kill the enemy and serve the country, the militia and young men were also greatly infected, and their morale suddenly increased significantly. They expressed their willingness to do their best to kill the enemy and be loyal to the country.

Soon, the sound of urgent footsteps and horse hooves came densely.

The army that came was the rebel Zheng Longfang's troops. He brought 1,500 troops and horses to urgently seize the government and the heavy land of money and grain.

It turned out that since the city gate was opened, Liu Zeqing's troops were divided into three units, one thousand five hundred people, led by Zheng Longfang to attack the government and the money warehouse, and another thousand troops were led by Liu Zeqing himself to attack the Dewang Mansion in Jinan City. There was another five hundred people, led by Li Huajing, who continued to stay on the city wall and guide the Qing army into the city.

The rebels of Zheng Longfang's army had a conspicuous white cloth tied on their arms. When he saw that these government offices and wealthy areas were only guarding the militia and temporary organizations, a proud smile could not help but pass through his face.

"Song Xunzhang, Zheng Bingbei, I will give you a way out for the sake of everyone's service. As long as you put down your weapons and no longer resist in vain, I will protect your lives and ask you for me again from the General of the Qing army." Zheng Longfang looked around everyone and said proudly.

"Bah! Our army is all loyal and righteous, how could we bewitched by you, a dog thief! You, a man who betrayed the king and father and became a tiger, have the face to persuade us to surrender!" Song Xuezhu cursed with hatred: "You thief, don't talk nonsense. If you have the ability, come to fight our army in the last battle. If you want to take down this government and a lot of money and food, you will step over our bodies!"

Zheng Longfang was furious and shouted loudly: "Okay, if you have a way out of heaven, you won't go, if you have no way to enter the earth, you will come! That book will fulfill you! Brothers, I will cut off these bastards, take over the government and the heavy land, and make the first contribution to the Qing Dynasty!"

After hearing Zheng Longfang's words, the rebels suddenly felt energetic. They roared and rushed forward, killing the militia and the young and strong, led by Song Xuezhu and others.

While Zheng Longfang's troops were fighting with Song Xuezhu and others, Liu Zeqing quickly rushed to the gate of Dewang Mansion with a thousand soldiers and horses, and immediately surrounded the entire Dewang Mansion.

At this time, the gate of the Dewang Mansion was closed and silent. However, on the four walls, there were hundreds of servants holding weapons and guarding the walls in a strong manner. At the front and back doors, more Yiwei in cotton armor were guarding. They were staring at Liu Zeqing's troops who were roaring around, and the expressions on everyone's faces were very serious and uneasy.

Liu Zeqing walked back and forth a few steps outside the main gate of Prince De's Mansion, and wanted to let someone break the door open. At this moment, he suddenly heard a sharp voice on the city tower: "Liu Zeqing, you dog thief, dare to lead your troops to the land of Prince De's Mansion. Are you not afraid of destroying the nine clans?!"

Liu Zeqing looked up and saw that the person who called was the eldest son of King De Zhu Youshu, and the county prince Zhu Ciying, and couldn't help but sneer: "Zhu Ciying, I am now a member of the Qing government army. I am hereby the order of the general to seize your De Palace. If you obey the order and surrender, I can spare you a life. Otherwise, you will be killed in your entire palace and leave no remains!"

"Fuck! You thief, you are a thief who sells your owner for honor and betrays my Ming Dynasty. You dare to say such crazy and rebellious words! Do you want to take down the Prince De Mansion? OK, even if you attack it!" Zhu Ciying cursed loudly.

Liu Zeqing smiled coldly and whispered to a servant next to him.

The guy nodded and immediately made a loud order to let the archers of the entire army gather here and shoot intensively on the wall of the mansion.

Liu Zeqing knew that the wall of the De Prince's Mansion was limited in height and the stool was short, and the servants and guards on it were unable to stop their volley attacks. Perhaps, after a volley, the guards would scatter in a sudden volley.

"preparation!"

"put!"

"Swoosh swish swish swish swish!"

In the dark night, dense arrows shot densely like locusts. The Yigu and the servants stationed at the wall of the mansion had no combat experience, and because the night was dull, they could not see where the arrows were shot. For a moment, they were all shot. There was a scream on the gate tower. Many people howled loudly and immediately fled around in panic.

Prince Zhu Ciying, seeing his own army, was shot around by arrows, and was frightened and furious.

"Don't run away! Keep this place for me, be sure to... "

Before the words were finished, a sharp arrow shot, and a slight sound hit Zhu Ciying's neck. The arrow penetrated from the other side of his neck, slamming his words.

Zhu Ciying's mouth was filled with blood bubbles, and she fell down from the mansion wall four or five meters high. She hit the ground with a bang, twitched for a moment, and then she no longer moved.

Seeing that the prince Zhu Ciying was killed, the Yigu and the servants stationed at the main gate had no desire to fight anymore and fled everywhere.

Seeing the defensive army dispersed, Liu Zeqing suddenly became very motivated. They shouted and rushed forward, knocked open the door of the mansion with a hammer, and rushed straight into it.

The biggest disaster in this Prince De’s Mansion, which had been calm for hundreds of years, has finally arrived.

The buildings of the Dewang Mansion are mainly from south to north: "Chengyun Hall" (eleven rooms wide in the face), "Qinyuan Hall" (nine rooms wide in the face) and "Cunxin Hall" (nine rooms wide in the face). There are two left and right halls on both sides of the "Chengyun Hall", and 138 houses are built on both sides of the five halls. There are walls around, and Chengyun Gate is installed in front and "Cunxin Gate" behind. This is the main building of the Dewang Mansion. In addition, there are "front palace", "central palace" and "harem", each with nine rooms wide in the face, and nine nine rooms on both sides of the three palaces, and walls and front and rear harem gates are built outside, forming an auxiliary palace community.

In the entire Dewang Mansion, many palaces are decorated with green dots of gold, blue and black, gold-painted copper nails, nests and arches, red gauze and colorful clouds, and coiled dragons in the middle, which is a luxurious style.

Especially at the back of both sides of the nave, a huge garden was built, raising rare birds and beasts such as cranes, peacocks, sika deer, etc. It can be said that it is ingenious everywhere, and it is always ingenious. It is truly carved and painted beams and painted buildings, and it is magnificent!

However, after Liu Zeqing led the rebels into the Dewang Mansion, this group of crazy and cruel beasts killed everyone, robbed good things when they saw them, and raped them first and then killed them when they saw women and maids, venting the greed and ugliness of human nature to their hearts. The rebels' squealing and rash cry of the rebels, mixed in with the whine of the woman killed by the ***, which was shocking to hear. This Dewang Mansion, which was originally magnificent and mighty, suddenly became a tragic hell on earth.

The crazy and violent rebels plundered Chengyun Hall without any obstacles, and then smashed the entire garden to pieces, and countless rare birds and beasts were killed alive.

When Liu Zeqing led the rebels to the Qinyuan Hall, an old figure stopped him.

Under the reflection of the jumping torch, Liu Zeqing, who had already killed blood, saw clearly that the person who was blocking the front was King De Zhu Youshu.

Standing next to him was his second son, General Fengguo Zhu Cishang.

Wearing a black gauze with double ceratops and folded scarf on his head, wearing a five-chapter blue dress, a golden dragon on his shoulders, a large belt with a plain red face and a golden jade dragon-shaped pendant on it, and a red sock on it, a King of De Zhu Youshu, who was supported by Zhu Cishang, stood at the entrance of Qinyuan Hall, and was trembling with anger all over his body.

"Liu Zeqing! You thief betrayed the Ming Dynasty and trespassed the royal palace. I want to take you..."

Before Zhu Youshu could finish his speech, Liu Zeqing rushed up with a roar. The blood-stained waist knife in his hand pierced through Zhu Youshu's chest. Blood spurted out wildly, and the sharp tip of the knife penetrated from behind him!

"Father!..."

Holding Zhu Youshu who fell down softly, General Zhu Cishang of Fengguo looked extremely sad and angry. He pointed at Liu Zeqing and cursed loudly: "Liu Zhe, if you kill my father without any chance, you will definitely die a good death!"

Before Zhu Cishang finished speaking, Liu Zeqing roared, pulled out the bloody waist knife, and slashed towards Zhu Cishang's neck.

"Puchi!"

With a light sound, Zhu Cishang's head, with a straight blood arrow, soared into the air, drew an arc in the night sky, and rolled into a dark corner.
