"I am in a heart for great peace, I am in a heart for great peace. Jun Ye, please spare me, Jun Ye, please spare me..."

A sixth-rank official was dragged to the side of the road by a strong Shun army soldier, and then the knife started to fall, and the ditch was stained with blood.

"Dog official, it's really a good idea to cut it with one knife."

A Dashun Army officer standing next to him spat hard at the corpse, his face full of vicious and ferociousness. He held a centipede-like scar on his left cheek, which was curved and trembling, which was particularly terrifying.

A moment later, a man came to him and reported: "Mr. Shou, this dog official is really a corruption. The silver he found may be as much as tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver, more than 40 pieces of gold and silver, five boxes of jewelry, and two hundred taels of small ingots of gold."

"Ask who is sacred?" Mr. Shun was amazed. He was a sixth-rank sesame official. His family was so rich. It would be unreasonable if the Ming Dynasty did not perish.

"A servant told me that this dog official is the head of the Ministry of Personnel Examination and Examination of the Qing Officials."

"No wonder this guy's family is so rich." The siege is always a person with no knowledge, but he knows very well what the Ministry of Personnel is. The Dashun Army had publicly cut off the heads of the family before. The family's surname was Zheng, and the father, son and nephew thirteen or fourteen were in the kitchen of the Ministry of Personnel, and they became rich. The family's property was more than 100,000 yuan. Emperor Chongzhen fled in panic and took away all officials. The minor officials like the Zheng family were not included, but the Zheng family also had enemies in the past, and they sued him after the Dashun Army entered the city.

Shunjun sent people to search the house, and the amount of silver that only made ingots was collected was 50,000 taels.

The wealth of Yanjing was so rich that countless soldiers of the Shun Army knew that they had come here.

"Save a piece of things, and the brothers will share them. I will pretend to be tight." That is to be handed over to the public. "The male and female slaves are separated, and the family of this dog official is also divided by two."

According to the regulations set by the army before departure, when encountering corrupt officials who are dying and cannot survive, they will be killed with one knife. However, they cannot insult women and children at will. The Dashun Army can still defend this.

After all, when Li Zichengcai entered Yanjing City, the military discipline of the Dashun Army was not corrupted. It was in the same period of history. Now the Dashun Army is also a first-class kingly army and a benevolent and righteous army.

They just set rules that the family members of such criminal officials and other demoted officials are different from those of other demoted officials. They should be distinguished.

The former will give them to their brothers, while the latter will most likely be colleagues in the palace in the future and will treat them with courtesy.

"Go away, go away..."

The group braved the rain and drove northwest, where Xianghe County was the current base camp of the Dashun Army. Soon, another group of people were guarding more than a dozen Shun Army soldiers, heading towards Xianghe County with mud and water.

These are all surrendered officials. Although the Dashun army and horse soldiers on both sides are shouting very well, except for their verbal skills, these soldiers will not take action. Even if they are really tired of walking and slower, they are only verbally urging by the horse soldiers.

If you don’t look at anything else, just look at them, either having paper umbrellas or straw raincoats, then the treatment is very good. After all, is rare and expensive?

So when these people came here, they felt a little confident and their courage increased a little.

"Isn't this the affairs of Director Xu of the Ministry of Personnel?"

"It's Xu Guancai. This person is the same year as me, so I will definitely not be wrong."

"It's pitiful, and he was also a person who was named on the gold list, but he ended up like this."

"I'm afraid that it's too much greedy, which shocks the heavenly soldiers, so I rewarded him with a knife..." This is not the first time they have seen such a corpse.

"Haha, how can the officials of the Ministry of Personnel say that they are honest? They are like people in the Ministry of Revenue. "An official couldn't help but joke, which was a pleasure in suffering. "The heavenly soldiers did not catch Wu Changshi. Otherwise, they should have dismembered the one named Wu?"

"Who is Wu Changshi? Let you officials treat it like this?" The official's words aroused the curiosity of the person next to him. These Shun Army and Horses were all from the bottom and were the most curious about the gossip of the upper-class people, even those upper-class people are in trouble now.

"Wu Changshi? That's amazing..." Seeing that the Dashun army and soldiers were fond of listening, the officials immediately became excited. They all told the scandals they knew about in the officialdom. Because they knew that this would please these Qiu Ba.

No, it’s not Qiu Ba. At this time, they didn’t think that these horse soldiers were all Qiu Ba. They were obviously ancestors and uncles.

...

Yangcun, north of Triangle Dian, is about thirty miles from Tianjin Aicheng.

Zheng Zhilong stopped his troops here, and Chongzhen and his party rushed to the Tianjin Guards early. After the battle in Xianghe, although Bai Guangen and Ma Ke were still ordered to pursue him, how could they dare to come true?

Even if it rains, Zheng Zhilong has thousands of horse soldiers in his hands. Not all the camps are musketeers. Even if they are musketeers, are musketeers wearing Zheng's cotton armor really weaker than their soldiers?

Everyone in Zheng’s army was wearing armor, and this alone turned out to be the two of them.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong's army retreated to Wuqing safely and joined forces with the reinforcements led by Zheng Zhipeng. Even though Hao Yaoqi and the others had already led their troops, they could not help but look at the swaggering armoured soldiers in front of them.

Fortunately, their purpose was not to really capture Emperor Chongzhen alive.

Zheng Zhilong led his troops to retreat to Yangcun, which is a point in the Beijing-Tianjin canal transportation. Although it is just a village, it is comparable to an ordinary county town when it is lively.

There are walls here, sufficient manpower and relatively wealthy materials, not far from Tianjin Guards and closer to Triangle Lake.

Even if you are guarding the safety of Tianjin, Yangcun cannot lose this at all.

When doing the show, you have to do it all. Zheng Zhilong wants to play his role as a "loyal minister" to his home. It's all over the world, and it's not bad. Zheng Zhilong leads more than 5,000 troops and sits here in person. He is watching the officials behind him suffer.

In fact, along the way, many smart officials either lost their possessions early and rushed to Tianjin with only gold and silver, or moved back to Dashun early.

Only those who know that it is wrong but cannot give up money, or just those who want money but don’t want life, or those who don’t think too much, hold their family property tightly and don’t let go, then they can only admit that they are unlucky.

Those who observe talents in this way are those who are unlucky.

At this time, those who could still land west of Yangcun were all such people, so Zheng Zhilong was not going to save them.

He felt that it was not worth it because of these officials.

Besides, he is now a loyal general Zheng Zhilong. Even if he does not send troops to rescue these officials, no one can find an excuse to say about him?

What do you say about this? Zheng Zhilong, who has done his best, has done his best no matter how he looks at it?

Li Zicheng must have gotten a lot of money, and Zheng Zhilong didn't care, because he also got a lot of money. Especially after the nobles and nobles, civil and military officials poured into Tianjin, didn't Zheng Zhilong's chance to squeeze money again?

This is the big one.

He really hoped that Li Zicheng could keep his good image after getting some of the money - the king's style, the army of benevolence and righteousness, and not lose his horse.

Otherwise, if the Qing army would sweep away the clouds again after entering the pass, it would only cause trouble for Zheng Zhilong.

It is true that Zheng Zhilong wants to keep the banner of Nanming, but he never wants to spend too much investment in Nanming.

Nan Ming was just a shield in Zheng Zhilong's heart. He hid behind and quietly developed his power. In order to wait for the time to ripe, he overturned the table and made his debut on the stage.

If too much energy is involved in the battle between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it will only delay his own development.

The Dutch had been beaten down by the Zheng navy, and the British were still accumulating momentum. Their strength in the East was far inferior to that of the Dutch. The big duck was about to decline (relatively), and the Portuguese were just passing by. The Nanyang was like a plate of fat meat waiting for Zheng Zhilong to taste it.

Even if he cannot quickly occupy the entire Nanyang, he will only repair Angkor, Annan, Siam, Myanmar and other countries and collect protection fees, he will not know how much oil and water can be squeezed out. In the short term, he will make more money than he has made in farming in Taishen and the Mekong Delta.

What's more, Zheng's first foothold in Nanyang plan was Temasek. As long as he could establish his roots, he could only rely on a Chinese-foreign trade and an inbound and outbound tax, could Zheng Zhilong not make a lot of money?

With silver and food, he can not only consolidate his own foundation, but also support more troops and build larger and larger ships!

The Dutch suffered heavy losses in the senior officials and had a series of influences. They were not senior officials, and Batavia had nothing to do. Although the Dutch had not yet surrendered and signed an agreement with Zheng Hongkui, it was only a matter of time.

I believe that if the Zheng family's warship goes to Batavia for another few more times, Anthony Van Dimen will be obedient.

...

Time passed by Zheng Zhilong's "difficult thoughts". At night, a new news came from Tianjin, and Wu Sangui was moving.

Wu Sangui and Ningyuan soldiers and civilians entered Shanhaiguan. General Gao Di responded and stationed the people in Changli, Leting, Luanzhou, Kaiping and other prefectures (Yongping Prefecture) near Shanhaiguan. He himself led his 20,000 troops to continue to advance to the capital. Although he received the news of Emperor Chongzhen's migration to the south from Wu Xiang on the way. In Fengrun County, he received the order from Emperor Chongzhen.

The choice of fate was in front of Wu Sangui, and he was unable to make a decision for a while, so he encountered Tang Tong's troops, a surrendered general sent by Li Zicheng to station in Zunhua. How could Tang Tong, who had just lost to Zheng Zhilong, be the opponent of the Guanning Army? Wu Sangui easily defeated Tang Tong and surrendered more than a thousand people.

Tang Tong, who was already exhausted because of his son's death, almost couldn't think of it for a moment and died in Fengrun.

Tang Tong retreated to Yutian County, which was west of Fengrun County, and the distance between the two was forty or fifty miles.

However, Wu Sangui stopped moving, so he did not rush to Tianjin, served the king and rescued the emperor, nor sent troops to Yutian to destroy the rebels. Instead, he paused in Fengrun County for two days, turned his horse's head and returned to Shanhaiguan.

Because of this, Qiu Minyang, the governor of Ji Liao stationed in Luanzhou, completely turned against him, calling on the loyal and righteous people in the civilian army to call on the loyal and righteous people in the Guanning army to rush to Tianjin to serve the king.

The news came from Tianjin at this time was that Qiu Minyang and his people arrived.

There were 13 civil servants and above in the army, three scholars and one juren, and more than 300 brave soldiers in the army.

There were more than 2,000 people when they set out from Luanzhou, including thirty or fifty officials of all sizes, and nearly a hundred people with fame and fortune. Now there are only about 300 soldiers left in the army.
