Chapter 183 Killing the King

Although Zhu Yousong became a prisoner of the Qing Dynasty, he had been an emperor after all, and the emperor was still somewhat energetic. Now that he had heard that another emperor had been selected in the city, he had been usurped the throne without knowing it. Zhu Yousong cursed in anger: "Who is it? Who is it so rebellious, and he dares to become emperor without my permission!"

"Listen, boy under the city, the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty is Emperor Shaowu, born in Taizu Miao, and his brother, King Zhou, and my emperor's roots are red and meridians, far more orthodox than the toad emperor Zhu Yousong. The new emperor inherited Taizu's will and led us to expel the Tartars and restore the Ming Dynasty!"

There is nothing Ma Cheng can do if he says this. This emperor was supported by himself. If he doesn't say that this emperor is good, then it's not that you, Ma Cheng, is blind? The most important point is that there are tens of thousands of people in the Jubao Sect now, and these people can see clearly. If he is a little inclined to Zhu Yousong's meaning, then can the new emperor Zhu Lunkui be happy?

Ma Cheng said this very beautifully, praising Zhu Lunkui like a flower, but Zhu Yousong under the city was unhappy. Why? A year ago, you said that I was released and destined to win the hearts of the people, and you also said that I was the legal emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Why is the boat of friendship overturned when it is said to be overturned?

"Ma Cheng, did you just say that Zhu Lunkui was promoted by the cabinet minister? Is there Ma Shiying here?"

"Yes, in addition to my father Ma Shiying, there are also cabinet assistants Ruan Dacheng, Qian Qianyi, and especially Master Qian, who scolded the Supreme Emperor for harming the country and the people, and that meat is not enough to eat dogs and pigs!"

Zhu Yousong was so angry that he was so angry when he heard Ma Cheng say this. He was so kind to Ma Shiying back then. He didn't expect that he would support the new emperor as soon as he left Nandu, and Ruan Dacheng. If it weren't for me, you, Ruan Dacheng, who had sores on his head and pus flowing from the soles of his feet, would you become the Minister of War? However, Zhu Yousong had no resentment towards Qian Qianyi, because these Donglin parties did not like him, and it would be strange to be able to say good things to him.

"Ma Cheng, I was kind to you father and son back then and handed over the country to Ma Shiying for management! You are a registered thousand households, and I promoted you to the admiral. This is how your father and son repay me?"

After saying that, Zhu Yousong shouted to the soldiers guarding the city on the city: "The Ming army soldiers on the city, I am your emperor Zhu Yousong. Don't listen to the nonsense of Ma Cheng! In order to please me, this child did not hesitate to send his widowed sister to my bed. Is this kind of person worthy of your loyalty? Now that I have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Prince Yu of the Qing Dynasty promised that as long as all the soldiers open the city gate and surrender to the Qing Dynasty, Prince Yu guaranteed everyone's glory and wealth, and at the same time, entering the city without any harm! If everyone listened to Ma Cheng's encouragement, the city would be broken and the city would be broken!"

Zhu Yousong shouted here, Ma Cheng was so angry that he was embarrassed and annoyed. Although Ma Cheng was not shameless, Sister Xian still blushed when she said something embarrassing in public. The most important point was that Ma Cheng saw the hesitant look on the faces of the soldiers around him.

Ma Cheng was born in the later generations of independent personality, and he didn't feel loyal or loyal to the emperor. However, it was different in the Ming Dynasty. No matter whether we read or not, we grew up under the influence of Confucianism. Confucianism emphasizes loyalty and filial piety, so no matter how stupid the emperor is, it is still high in the hearts of ordinary people.

The one who is high above now

The emperor appeared in front of him and encouraged the soldiers to open the city gate to surrender, so some soldiers were inevitably shaken.

When Ma Cheng saw Zhu Yousong calling like this, he said to the soldiers behind him: "This is a fake emperor, shoot him to death!"

Although Ma Cheng said that, everyone is not stupid. The fat guy in the city can tell the scandal of your sister Ma Cheng Xian, and his identity is self-evident. Now you, Ma Cheng, ask us to kill the Supreme Emperor, that is the emperor. Who knows what to do in the future? What if you, Ma Cheng, turn your back? What if we treat us as scapegoats?

Seeing the soldier hesitating, Ma Cheng said to Ma Bao beside him: "Uncle Six, this is fake, shoot him to death!"

Ma Bao was not stupid either. He knew that he could never do anything. He couldn't help but listen to Ma Cheng's words: "Sir, the situation is unclear now. Why don't you report to the emperor first and wait for the emperor's imperial edict before you talk about it?"

What kind of imperial edicts are still waiting for? The morale of the army is now unstable. The gate has been opened long ago when the imperial edict is coming. Ma Cheng gritted his teeth and snatched a musket from the soldiers of the Shenji Camp behind him, aiming at Zhu Yousong under the city to pull the trigger.

The city was only more than fifty meters away from Zhu Yousong standing by the moat. Ma Cheng's musket easily hit Zhu Yousong, but the shot did not hit the vital point, but hit the stomach.

The two Qing cavalrymen who followed Zhu Yousong saw the shooting in the city and were frightened to leave Zhu Yousong behind and rode wildly. However, Ma Cheng was not dealing with them, but Zhu Yousong lying on the ground screaming.

Ma Cheng did not intend to let this fat pig survive because he had a lot of trouble in life. A Supreme Emperor who had been an emperor would definitely be used by many people. Therefore, Ma Cheng did not stop after a shot. He snatched several muskets from the soldiers of the Shenji Camp behind him to shoot continuously, and kept killing Zhu Yousong before stopping.

In addition to the five thousand new troops, there were more than 10,000 guards and more than 10,000 civilians at Jubao Gate. These people watched silently as the man who claimed to be the Supreme Emperor was beaten to death by Ma Cheng.

In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial power was supreme. These people were born with respect for imperial power. Now, the first time I saw someone dare to kill the emperor on the spot, my eyes changed a little when I looked at Ma Cheng.

Ma Cheng fired five shots in a row, completely killing Zhu Yousong, and then handed the musket to the Shenji Camp behind him. Ma Cheng looked at the soldiers around him and shouted: "The person below is a fake emperor. The real emperor has died at the enemy. This person was sent by Beilu to deceive the city gate. Don't believe the lies of Beilu. We have the lives of Beilu in our hands. Do you think Beilu can let us go? So what you can do now is to guard the city gate. Do you know?"

After Ma Cheng said that, he asked the soldiers watching the fun at Jubao Gate to disperse and not gather here. After the soldiers left, Ma Bao came up and asked in a low voice: "Sir, what should I do next?"

Ma Cheng glared at Ma Bao and said, "What should I do? Keep the Jubao Gate well. I will go to the palace to see the emperor. Report someone to pretend to be the Supreme Emperor to the emperor!"

Ma Cheng is now killing the man outside the city. Zhu Yousong is fake. Everyone knows whether it is true or not. However, Ma Bao is not a newcomer who just joined the company. No matter what, it was done by you, Ma Cheng himself, and you fired the gun himself. Anyway, you also said this.

If a person is fake, then it is calculated as fake.

Ma Bao nodded and said, "Please rest assured that this is the best person. I know how to do it!"

Ma Cheng was very relieved to hear Ma Bao say this. After all, Ma Bao is his own tribe member, and there is no problem with loyalty.

The matter of Jubao Gate ended, Ma Cheng got off the city and rode on his horse to the palace. Tens of thousands of people saw the murder of Zhu Yousong just now, and it was hard to guarantee that the Donglin Party was heard. If the Donglin Party’s messingsters knew about this, it would be a bad idea.

Ma Cheng came to Xi'an Gate and handed out his waist sign. The Jinyiwei immediately took Ma Cheng into the palace to meet him. This is one of Ma Cheng's few privileges, which is to meet him at any time and never have to wait for the summons.

Zhu Lunkui has only been two months since he ascended the throne, and the palace city is very short of staff. There are only a few hundred people in the huge Forbidden City, and there are broken walls everywhere, which looks very desolate.

Zhu Lunkui lived in the Ganqing Palace. It was pretty good because it was renovated. When he arrived at the door, a small eunuch went in to report. Now the area where Zhu Lunkui could rule was only Nanjing, so naturally nothing happened. I heard that his great hero, Ma Cheng, the Hou Macheng of Guiyang, asked for a meeting, and immediately ordered the eunuch to summon him.

Ma Cheng lowered his head and walked carefully, followed the eunuch into the Ganqing Palace, then knelt down and shouted loudly, "My minister, Marquis of Guiyang, meet him!"

Zhu Lunkui has been so scared that the northern barbarians outside the city have been sieging the city for a day. He heard that 40,000 to 50,000 people have died. Fortunately, the Guiyang Marquis in front of him is very powerful in war, otherwise he would have to learn from Song Huizong. Now seeing the great hero Ma Cheng coming, Zhu Lunkui quickly said, "Ma Qing is here, hurry up and see Ma Qing!"

The little eunuch next to him quickly brought an embroidery pier. Seeing Ma Cheng get up and sitting on the embroidery pier, Zhu Lunkui asked, "Ma Qing, what's the war in Nancheng?"

"Your Majesty, the soldiers of Nancheng are very brave. Under the leadership of the minister, they have repelled the Northern Hu's attacks for hundreds of times. In the past few days, the Northern Hu's losses have been greatly. In addition, they are not suitable for the southern climate, so they have changed the strong attack to a trap! Now, under the leadership of the pseudo Henan Prince Duoduo, the Northern Hu has been separated from Dasheng Pass to Longtan Town for hundreds of miles in the joint camp, and has cut off the contact between the Southern Capital and the outside world!"

Zhu Lunkui was really happy and worried when he heard Ma Cheng say this. He was happy that he didn't have to wait until the city was broken and was killed. He was worried that the Beilu now besieged the city, and this kind of blunt knife cuts the flesh even more uncomfortable.

Zhu Lunkui frowned and asked, "Ma Qing is responsible for the guards of Nandu. I wonder if there is a way to defeat the enemy?"

Of course, Ma Cheng had methods, but Ma Cheng's method was not to go out of the city to fight the Qing Dynasty in the wild, but to be prepared to force Duoduo to attack the city through his own nails in the high-level areas of the Qing Dynasty, and to use the advantages of Nanjing's city walls to consume the vitality of the Qing Dynasty.

Ma Cheng's strength is not field battles but population. There are millions of people in Nanjing, while the Manchus have a total of less than one million, and only more than 200,000 can join the army. Ma Cheng estimated that as long as he eliminates thousands of main forces of the Eight Banners of Manchus outside the city, Duoduo will definitely withdraw his troops.
