Chapter 431: Unexpected
More than a dozen soldiers from the Western Army surrounded Ma Yuanli, and the entire backyard of the Governor's Mansion was illuminated by torches.
Looking at Liu Jinzhong holding Zhang Xianzhong's token, Ma Yuanli, with a ferocious face, spoke viciously.
"Liu Jinzhong, what do you mean? Did the emperor send you to kill me..."
Looking at Ma Yuanli who was a little confused, Liu Jinzhong smiled coldly and shook his head.
Ma Yuanli suppressed his anger and felt a little calmer inside. There were nearly a hundred soldiers around Liu Jinzhong, and all of them were murderous intent. He knew what happened in the front yard and the middle yard that Liu Jinzhong led his soldiers to enter the Governor's Office and killed the personal soldiers blocked by him. The entire Governor's Office was surrounded by the smell of blood.
At this moment, Ma Yuanli did not dare to be furious. If he angered Liu Jinzhong and killed him, he would push all the problems to him, the dead man, without any reasoning. Since Liu Jinzhong dared to take action directly in the Governor's Office, he would be prepared for everything. When it was time to soften, Ma Yuanli must shrink his head and save his life.
"General Liu Shen, you and I are all serving the emperor. I know that you came to Chongqing Prefecture City with the order. I have a lot of things today and I am a little tired, so I want to take a break early. I will discuss all the matters in this prefecture early tomorrow morning and welcome the arrival of the two princes together. I have just been a little neglected. Why do you have to do this..."
When Ma Yuanli spoke, Qin Yiming had already led the soldiers to surround them.
Just now, in the front yard and the middle courtyard, the soldiers from the scout camp cut the mess quickly and killed more than 100 soldiers from the Daxi Army in a short time. The soldiers of the Daxi Army who knelt down and surrendered were not spared. At this moment, some of the Ming army soldiers were still searching in the front yard and the middle courtyard to see if there were any fish that had missed the net. As for the outside of the Governor's Office, more than 100 soldiers had been deployed to guard the Governor's Office, and no one could get close to the Governor's Office at this time.
Seeing Qin Yiming leading the sergeant to surround him and a group of more than a dozen soldiers around him, Ma Yuanli's expression changed again. He waved his hand at Liu Jinzhong and spoke again with a tone of discussion and pleading.
"General Liu Shen, I have no other meaning. This is a misunderstanding. Don't hurt the harmony between you and me..."
Qin Yiming, who lifted his hat, walked straight to Liu Jinzhong, looked at Ma Yuanli, and smiled and spoke.
"Ma Yuanli, do you still know me? I am Qin Yiming. If you still have the impression, we have fought..."
Ma Yuanli's expression changed drastically, and his body shook slightly. He stared at Liu Jinzhong with a look of horror.
"Liu, General Liu, what's wrong? Have you betrayed the emperor and the court? How did the token in your hand come from? You, you are stationed in Kuizhou Prefecture City, did you kill from Kuizhou..."
Liu Jinzhong did not speak, turned his head and looked at Qin Yiming. He didn't need to explain these things.
Qin Yiming gave Ma Yuanli a thumbs up and spoke again with a disdainful look.
"Ma Yuanli, you are right. The imperial army has entered Sichuan. Aren't you responsible for guarding the places and cities along the river? Except for this Chongqing Prefecture City, all the other places have been taken down by the imperial army, including Changshou and the right governor Zhang Hualong. It has been killed by us. It's your turn next. I can also tell you that the imperial army will soon launch an attack on Chengdu Prefecture City. Then you will accompany Zhang Xianzhong to the ground and continue to rebel."
Ma Yuanli was stunned, his face turned pale, and his body began to siftly sift. He looked at Liu Jinzhong with an unbelievable look on his face.
Liu Jinzhong looked at Ma Yuanli and sighed and spoke.
"Ma Yuanli, everything that General Qin said is true. The imperial army took down all the cities on both sides of the river. I had already surrendered to the court. Zhang Hualong was unwilling to surrender to the court, so he was killed. The next thing depends on what choice you make."
The dozen or so soldiers of the Daxi Army around Ma Yuanli had long lost their blood on their faces. Their life and death were just Ma Yuanli's words. Facing the murderous Ming army soldiers, they knew they could not resist.
Ma Yuanli's body trembled again. He looked at the sergeant beside him and lowered his head.
"Ma Yuanli, we don't have so much time to spend with you. Give me a good word. If you are willing to surrender to the court and be loyal to the emperor from now on, you can save your life. If not, today will be your sacrifice next year."
Qin Yiming's voice came again, and Ma Yuanli felt a strong murderous aura.
Liu Jinzhong wanted to speak but stopped. The relationship between him and Zhang Hualong was just like that. When he was fighting with Zhang Xianzhong in the past, the two had open and secret battles, so they captured Changshou County. Liu Jinzhong did not advise Zhang Hualong too much. When Deng Shiqiu decided to kill Zhang Hualong, he did not speak too much.
Liu Jinzhong has a good impression of Ma Yuanli. In the Western Army, Ma Yuanli is a very honest and honest person. He doesn't like to plot against others behind his back. Generally speaking, he is kind to others. Ma Yuanli is brave in fighting and is desperate to fight.
Qin Yiming saw Liu Jinzhong's expression.
"Brother Liu, what do you want to say, just say it."
Liu Jinzhong sighed long and looked at Ma Yuanli.
Grill
"Brother Ma, we rebelled for a bite of food. The world is actually from the court, and we were forced to rebel. You may not know that the King of Rebellion Li Zicheng has been completely wiped out, but was defeated by the Later Jin Tartars. However, the Later Jin Tartars who defeated and killed Li Zicheng were completely wiped out by the court army. The imperial army will soon kill north Zhili and completely destroy the Later Jin Tartars. Think about it, can the Daxi Army beat the imperial army? "
Ma Yuanli looked up at Liu Jinzhong.
"Liu Jinzhong, the emperor treats me well. He has given me so much money and has also made me the left governor of the Daxi Army. If I betray the emperor, even if I go downstairs, I will not be able to live in peace. I understand what you mean. Needless to say, do it, I won't blame you. I have been with the emperor for so many years, and I have always fought and killed him, and I am tired of it."
Liu Jinzhong looked at Ma Yuanli and sighed again. In fact, he knew vaguely that Ma Yuanli was unlikely to surrender to the court.
Qin Yiming, who was on the other side, looked at Ma Yuanli, and a trace of light burst out from his eyes.
Ma Yuanli looked at Qin Yiming.
"General Qin, please let these brothers around me go, even if they are asked to go home to farm, I can guarantee that they will submit to the court and that they will never continue to rebel..."
Qin Yiming shook his head. A trace of affection for Ma Yuanli just now disappeared instantly. As the governor of the Left Army of the Great Western Army, Ma Yuanli had a high position and was responsible for guarding Chongqing Prefecture and eliminating the roots. How could he become the commander?
"Ma Yuanli, don't think too much. In the opinion of your loyalty, I will leave you a whole body. Should you do it yourself or gesture with the steel knife in your hand..."
Before Qin Yiming finished speaking, Ma Yuanli had already raised the steel knife in his hand.
"General Qin, I won't have to do anything, I will stop myself, but I'd better ask you to let go of these brothers around me."
Speaking of this, the steel knife in Ma Yuanli's hand slashed across his neck, and a stream of blood splashed out instantly.
The other soldiers of the Daxi Army saw Ma Yuanli slowly lying on the ground, and they also showed a decisive expression on their faces. They all picked up the steel knives in their hands and scratched their necks.
For a moment, all ten people committed suicide.
When Qin Yiming walked forward, he took a breath. He thought Ma Yuanli would resist stubbornly, but he didn't expect that he would commit suicide. Before he died, he never forgot to plead for the soldiers of the Daxi Army around him. These soldiers of the Daxi Army also chose the most fierce way to commit suicide.
If Zhang Xianzhong was surrounded by such soldiers, his combat effectiveness would be terrifying.
Liu Jinzhong's face turned pale, and when he looked at everything in front of him, his body trembled slightly.
Qin Yiming waved his hand, and many soldiers came forward and carried away all the bodies on the ground.
The smell of blood had not yet dissipated, Qin Yiming looked at Liu Jinzhong.
"Brother Liu, are there such soldiers around Zhang Xianzhong?"
Liu Jinzhong shook his head and looked at Qin Yiming with an awkward smile on his face. Perhaps he could see his weakness from Ma Yuanli and Zhang Hualong.
"Sir, there are almost no such people around Zhang Xianzhong. Ma Yuanli is honest and a little bit sarcastic. Besides, his family is still in Chengdu. If he surrenders to the court, no one of his family can survive. As for the other soldiers, they have also seen the attitude of the lord just now. Anyway, they cannot survive, so it would be better to stop by themselves."
Qin Yiming nodded and let out a long sigh.
"Okay, Brother Liu, let's find the military talisman as soon as possible. You bring Ma Yuanli's military talisman and Zhang Xianzhong's token. After the general enters the city, go to the military camp with the general. The military camp must be stabilized..."
While speaking, a murderous aura popped out of Qin Yiming's body.
Liu Jinzhong could no longer speak. The Chongqing Prefecture City tonight will definitely be overturned and it is impossible to stabilize. The army must control the Chongqing Prefecture City as quickly as possible. Waiting for the arrival of Liu Yuanxiu and Li Dingguo, it is hard to say whether Zhang Xianzhong's token can still play a role. However, if controlled properly, it will not be a big problem to trick Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo into Chongqing Prefecture City.
Both Ma Yuanli and Zhang Hualong were dead, and the news was kept confidential and it was impossible to spread in a short period of time.
The military talisman was quickly found, and several maids around Ma Yuanli were also taken out.
Qin Yiming looked at the women who had been sifting all the time and frowned. It was said that these women should be killed, and the news must be kept strictly confidential, but Qin Yiming never killed women.
