Chapter 173: The minister is willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses
The sky gradually dawned, and the light green sky was inlaid with a few remaining stars. The earth was hazy, like a silver-gray veil. The sky to the east had slightly exposed the egg white, and a trace of red was rendered like blood-soaked red.
A milky white light mist filled the city, covering the city of Tongzhou and the city outside Tongzhou. It was a messy city outside Tongzhou!
The cold wind can blew away the smell of blood and smoke, but it cannot take away the scars outside the city of Tongzhou after the war. Of course, it cannot take away the smell of meat all over the city.
The war horses that were beaten to death or injured have now become food for the migrant teams.
The soldiers and servants who arrived at the top were all ateful and shining brightly.
Hanlin editor Ning Feng walked on the streets of Nanguan outside Tongzhou City. When the Shun Army first arrived at the city, they set fire to the fire, but they did not burn it. In the Second World War, they were all outside Nanguan. Most of the houses on both sides are still well preserved, and only a few houses turned into ruins. The scene after the fire was burned is clearly visible, the burning smell and the white light smoke rising from the black ruins. It is like an ordinary fire and water flowing.
But after leaving Nanguan, I looked at the bodies lying on the ground outside...
Ning Sheng held the Yidao in his hand fiercely. He had been holding the pen for half his life, but now he had to hold the knife in his hand tightly. He had no choice but to protect his family in the current environment, even if the emperor sent a team of Jingjun to the Ning family.
But when the guns and cannons rang out last night, these Jingjuns seemed to be frightened rabbits, not as brave as him.
"Dadadada..." The sound of horse hooves came from the front. There was a team of Zheng army cavalry. They were still a distance away, and a fierce aura rushed straight towards them. Looking at their blood-like battle robe, you know what they were doing.
"Look at the short guns hanging around those people's waists..."
"What kind of short gun is it a hand gun. I don't know. Grandpa Wang has a tribute from the troopers."
The voice of Jingjun behind him sounded, and Ning Zhen also looked at the team of Zheng army cavalry on the side, and saw that the two men in the lead had indeed collapsed a much shorter musket on their waists.
This is the pistol? It's the first time he has seen it.
...
The silence after the war was empty. In Ning Zhen’s more than 30 years of life, for the first time last night, he heard the sound of guns and felt the fear of death for the first time. The corpses in front of him gave him the most essential understanding of the cruelty of war.
Last night, when the gunfire stopped, his spirit suddenly relaxed, and his mind was blank for a long time!
Just like fighting an arduous war, there is naturally joy, but the first thing that comes to my heart must be glad. Fortunately, my own people are still alive.
"Crack, Crack..." A soft voice was made by the carriage pulling the family behind him.
The team followed the official road and headed towards Zhangjiawan. The carriage was walking very slowly because Ning Xu's daughter was frightened last night, so the carriage naturally had to go slower.
The thief army has been defeated, and Li thief sent troops again, so it is always safe in the morning.
"Bapapapa..." A few crisp gunshots suddenly came into Ning Feng's ears, and a girl's scream sounded from the carriage behind him.
Ning Zhen was thrilled all over and immediately looked up and looked around. He saw a group of people not far away surrounding him. I don’t know what he was doing. But the flag was clearly Zheng Zhilong’s soldiers!
"Madam,..." Ning Xu shouted worriedly. The daughter in the carriage is not an ordinary person, this is the future Crown Princess. It was just because Li Zicheng came too urgently, and the court suspended the marriage, but in fact it was only a matter of getting married. If it were not for Li Zicheng's previous regulations, the Ning girl would be preparing to marry at home at this moment.
"Don't worry, Master, I was just a little scared." Before Mrs. Ning finished speaking, another gunshot sounded, and the call of "Good Daughter, Good Daughter" immediately sounded in the carriage.
Ning Xu turned his head and looked at the team of Zheng Jun, with an angry face. "I want to see who is enjoying shooting?"
"Driving, drive..."
Turning his horse's head, Ning Feng ran toward him. But before he could reach the place, a gust of wind blew, and a fresh smell of blood came into his nose.
An Nanbo, Zheng Zhilong? A figure flashed in the Zheng army crowd, and it was Zheng Zhilong!
The anger on Ning Xu's face quickly dissipated.
"Xiaoguan Ning Jun met Annanbo."
Zheng Zhilong rode on the horse, facing two piles of soldiers, with blood on them, which were obviously peeled off from the dead Shunjun's body, and there were about thirty prisoners kneeling under his feet.
There were still some corpses ten feet away, and blood was flowing from the blood holes shot out by the gun.
The Shun Army captured during the battle was not just these individuals in front of them. The others were all surrendered when they were scared, and the rest were all tough.
When Ning Zhen arrived, Zheng Zhilong was giving them the final guidance. If they surrender, they would be killed if they did not surrender. The previous ones were examples.
Now is an extraordinary moment. The more people Zheng Zhiguan and Shi Lang have created, they are mostly ordinary people, and the danger is extremely low, but these guys in front of them are more dangerous. Zheng Zhilong is not in the mood to play benevolence with them.
"Ning Hanlin?" Zheng Zhilong looked at Ning Zhen and was a little confused.
This person has been with him for several times, but he has no contact. Not only Ning Sheng, but also the prince behind him, Zheng Zhilong has always stayed away from him. He didn't look at Zheng Sen in front of the emperor, but he didn't look at the prince.
Now, Zheng Zhilong doesn't want to have more accidents, and sends a signal to Emperor Chongzhen that could make him misunderstand.
"Xiaguan came to see Boye this time, because he wanted to get a few hand guns. The sound of guns and cannons last night made the whole family panic, and even the villain was panicked. Sisi was still thousands of miles away from the south, and it was difficult to guarantee that one or two changes would occur on the way, so he came to ask Boye to give him some hand guns to protect himself and strengthen his courage." Ning Zhen said seriously.
Zheng Zhilong blinked his eyes, just for this matter? Can he bother the prince’s father-in-law to come here in person?
He saw a group of people stopping not far away through Ning Sheng. A group of people in clean military uniforms surrounded a carriage and parked on the road.
Oh, it turned out to be the way.
Although the Ning girl has not yet been polite to Zhu Cilang, the two have already gotten engaged. Zhu Cilang and his father have not bothered each other. It can be said that the Ning girl not far away is the crown princess who is for sure.
This is all the only thing that Emperor Chongzhen led his men to "move south" this time, but he did not pull the Ning family down. The Ning family was on the list of key protections. Emperor Chongzhen also specially sent a team of Jingjun to protect them.
Compared with the prince consort Zhou Shixian family he chose for his daughter, the Ning family's treatment is much higher.
"Haha, I'm so tired of you to have a trip to you in person for such a small matter. Hanlin is so kind." Zheng Zhilong dismounted and held Ning Feng's hand and headed towards the same path, while swaying his other hand behind him.
The others present naturally knew what to do.
After seeing Ning Zhen off, Zheng Zhilong felt strange no matter how he thought it was. The Ning family was protected by the Jing army. They were still afraid, and there were too many people in Tongzhou City who were terrified.
Did this person really ask for a few hand guns when he came over?
Zheng Zhilong muttered in his heart, and could not think of the reason in his mind.
"Master, maybe that's because of Ning Hanlin, he really wanted several hand guns. You see, he was holding a ritual knife in his hand. He wasn't afraid to the extreme, how could these Wenqu stars get the knife when holding pens?" Chen Ding's mind turned a few times, but he couldn't think of a reason for it, so he could only say this.
"I hope." Zheng Zhilong was a little annoyed, and then waved his hand indifferently. What if he didn't care. In the future, Zheng Zhilong would not want to bow to Emperor Chongzhen, so what would Ning Zhen do to plan.
A wonderful misunderstanding was born like this.
Emperor Chongzhen was not at all afraid of the bodies falling outside Tongzhou City. At this moment, he was stepping on the flag of the Dashun Army and looking at the heads of several Shun Army officers in his eyes, with only excitement in his heart.
"A traitor, kill well, kill well!"
If it weren't for the decency, Emperor Chongzhen would have kicked the head in front of him away.
Since Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty established the capital of the Northern Capital for more than 200 years, his great country and ancestors have been lost from him. Emperor Chongzhen really hated Li Zicheng very much.
"I will burn all these for me. I cannot crush Li's thief to ashes. I will crush his thief to ashes first."
As he said that, he was even more unrestrained and he used his feet to twist the word "Li" in the flag.
The little Russian dared not disturb Emperor Chongzhen's venting at this time. He looked at Wang Chengen for help, and the latter also looked anxious, because the time had come and the emperor was about to set off to go south.
"Long live, long live..."
Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were red, and he looked at Wang Chengen at one glance, which scared the latter to kneel on the ground. "Say!"
"Long live, it's time to get on."
Nothing can slow down the itinerary.
The Li thief's horse army arrived in Tongzhou last night. The large army was afraid that it had already forced the city of Yanjing. If it didn't leave, would it be that if Li thief sent more horse army?
...
Fuchengmen in the west of the capital.
Li Zicheng with one eye looked up at the towering capital. If such a majestic city could have 100,000 defenders and another famous general would be in charge, even if he had a million troops, he could only sigh.
But now, the defenders opened the door to welcome them into the city. This is the capital.
After entering the capital, even if Emperor Chongzhen ran away, the Li family's country became stable. The worst thing was the Northern and Southern Dynasties!
Li Zicheng thought so in his heart. Therefore, although he was a little angry about Luo Hu and Li Laiheng's defeat, it did not make him really thunderous.
It was a pity to lose some horse army after a while, but this loss was a drop in the bucket for Dashun now. But from this we can also see that Zheng Zhilong is not an easy person. It is probably not easy to defeat him with a small number of elite soldiers...
"Bai Guangen, Ma Ke, Tang Tong..." Li Zicheng shouted loudly.
"I am here." The three surrendered generals heard the call and quickly came to the imperial front.
"Chongzhen is still in Tongzhou, and is protected by Zheng Zhilong. You are also veterans who are famous in the Central Plains. In the past, they are not inferior to Zheng Zhilong. Now they dare to go to pursue, defeat Zheng Zhilong, and capture Chongzhen into the capital?" Although they knew that the dignitaries and nobles in the capital had run away a lot, Li Zicheng still felt that the opportunity to enter the capital was precious and honorable.
He was unwilling to ask his ladder to lose this glory, but Bai Guangen, Ma Ke, and Tang Tong did not count.
