Chapter 276: The End of the Traitor Has Arrived
Not to mention the common people, even when entering the city gate, the Ming army guarding the city leaned out and scrambled to the majesty of the town! Compared with the common people, the psychological pressure of these defenders is heavier. [】
Because when Li Zicheng comes, he will do it with real swords and guns! Now that he has been looking forward to, he is relieved to see the long-awaited town. Taking this opportunity, Zhang Linqi also made a promise: "Minors of Luoyang City, I, Zhang Linqi, here today, I will not leave Luoyang City if I don't destroy Li Zicheng's troops one day."
When Zhang Linqi said this, it was like putting a satellite. The people in Luoyang City were so happy that their hearts were put back in their stomachs. The onlookers said, "When the general of the country arrived, Luoyang would definitely be lost."
Zhang Linqi's image at this time was also very good. He rode the tall horse he gave to the emperor and the four-clawed python robe that he didn't wear very much. With his handsome face, it was definitely a guarantee of confidence! As the army gradually deepened, the city defenses of Luoyang City were exposed to Zhang Linqi one by one, and he was also very concerned about these things. After all, this will play a role in the future.
Overall, the city defense of Luoyang City is still very complete. For example, outside Beiguan, a one-meter-high "horse-blocking wall" was built, and a trench was dug in front of the wall. With this "horse-blocking wall", the cavalry of the army, no matter how powerful and fast the speed was, they had to dismount and walk forward here unless they were willing to kill them alive!
This "horse-blocking wall" has a circumference of more than 23 miles, surrounding the entire Luoyang City. After passing the four passes in the east, west, south and north, and thirty steps away from the main city wall of Luoyang, it is a moat that is two meters deep, which also leads Luo River into the moat.
That's not all. There is an exact same "horse-blocking wall" on the inside of the moat, so how tight the protection system is.
Of course, no matter how smart a weapon is used inappropriately, it will not work. For example, in real history, Li Zicheng led his troops to attack the city of Beijing. As the heart of the Ming Dynasty, the defensive system of the capital was definitely the best in the world.
But what happened? It was only one day before the capital was captured. Therefore, the most critical factor was people.
Then Zhang Linqi carefully glanced at the city wall. In general, it was four words, and it was sturdy! The city wall covered with blue bricks, the majestic quid towers of the city gate, as many as a hundred battlements and horse faces, located at the four corners of the city, and the corner towers of the city gate, formed a three-dimensional defense system. Zhang Linqi really doubted that such a solid defense, as long as the defenders were willing to contribute their efforts, it would be very difficult to let the Japanese devils armed to attack in the future, let alone the bandits now.
Thinking of this, Zhang Linqi glanced at the guerrilla Luo Tai and Liu Youyi who were following not far away, and sneered in his heart.
After entering the city, they first arranged a large army to stay. Then they were a routine reception, which could be regarded as a welcoming banquet. It was held at the General Office. Military officials led by King Yinchang and King Qian'an accompanied him, and Zhang Linqi cooperated with Li Sicheng and Zhou Momo and other senior generals in the town to attend. Fang Jianping and the two women did not attend because they were women. However, what was surprising was that Zhang Linqi asked Luo Tai and Liu Jianyi to accompany him. Logically speaking, there were many high-level officials in Luoyang City, and such a high-level welcome banquet were all irrelevant.
However, now that Zhang Linqi named them and asked them to participate, Wang Yinchang and others dared not disobey, so they could only look at the table with envious eyes. And the generals who were fortunate to be able to have the table were even more jealous of Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai's eyes.
If you can be promoted and made a fortune by Qingmi, isn’t it just around the corner? Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai are also feeling nervous and excited. In fact, they have never seen Zhang Linqi before, but now they have been hit by Qingmi by Qingmi, and it is indeed time to move forward. The ancestral tomb is smoking. Is that true? I took everyone’s expressions in my eyes, but Zhang Linqi was sneering, hehe, let you be happy for a while now, and you will suffer later!
Since it was to welcome Zhang Linqi, the banquet was naturally very rich, with awesome white lips, fresh roasted camels, first-class bear paws, top-quality sea cucumbers, dried roast shark fins, all kinds of rare delicacies. There are all kinds of rare delicacies!
For example, one of the dishes is called parrots, and I slaughtered a hundred and ten parrots. Is that thing really delicious? After eating it, Zhang Linqi also felt that the taste was very ordinary, that is, it was a little smoother and a little crisper. The nutritional value is second, mainly just to show off.
Another example is to eat fish whiskers in a bowl, buy a hundred carp, cut only fish whiskers, and also Le Ji to cheer them up. Zhang Linqi estimated that such a meal was worth enough for a hundred disaster victims to eat for a year.
Thinking of the victims around Luoyang who ate tree bark, grass roots, and even hungry people, Zhang Linqi couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Thinking about the common people who welcomed him all the way, if they develop according to normal history, they will become unjust souls under the knife in the future, Zhang Linqi's eyes at Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai became even more sharp. Since he has come, history cannot be repeated. Isn't this also the responsibility of the time traveler? Zhang Linqi decided to take action!
After the dishes were thirty years old and the wine was five flavors, Zhang Linqi had almost finished his time. He first gave Liu Dabangchui, who was standing behind him, and reminded him to enter a certain "program". Zhang Linqi smiled and said to Luo Tai and Liu Jianyi: "Although Mr. Zhang used to be in the capital, he had known the names of the two for a long time! There are talents in Henan!"
"Ah, I dare not, it's a shameful reputation and a humiliating audio-visual!" Luo Tai and Liu Jianyi both answered quickly after hearing this. However, their hearts were very happy. They really wanted to reposition themselves. Unexpectedly, even the generals who were far away in the capital knew about it!
Seeing that the general Zhenguo was like this, Luo Tai and Liu Jianyi, the generals at the same table were even more jealous and thought to themselves that these two guys had a bad luck!
Li Sicheng and Zhou Momo, who were drinking at the same table, looked at each other and smiled. They were both time travelers, and they all knew what Zhang Linqi meant. Are they lucky? They were indeed lucky, but it was not them, but the millions of ordinary people in Luoyang City.
"I'll be closer to you two after I come!" Zhang Linqi smiled and said, "By the way, where are the two immortal towns?"
"I dare not, we are both from Panji Township, Zhumadian." Luo Tai and Liu Jianyi said in unison.
"Oh, Zhumadian, a good place." Zhang Linqi smiled brighter and brighter as he said to them. "Then the new military advisor Niu Jinxing, the bandit, is your fellow villager!" Zhang Linqi's casual words scared Luo Tai and Liu Jianyi, and they all jumped up from the chair. The panic expression seemed to be stung by a scorpion.
"No, although we are in the same hometown as Niu Jinxing, we live in the east and Niu Jinxing live in the west and never know each other!" Liu Jianyi hurriedly defended. Yes, at this time, this is a big problem, and maybe you will lose your head!
Yes, in ancient times, they liked to commit crimes by one person and implicate nine tribes, not to mention the stormy late Ming Dynasty.
"Oh, is that?" Zhang Linqi smiled slightly and said, "I also hope to believe that what you said is true, but why did you find the handwritten letter Niu Jinxing wrote to you from your mansion?"
"Ah" When Luo Tai and Liu Jianyi, who had just stood up to defend themselves, were surprised and shook their bodies, but they didn't fall down after hearing Zhang Linqi's eyes as if they had seen a ghost.
It is said that the generals of the country were saints. In the past, they did not believe it, but they also saints? Their wives were married four. But now, they all believed it a little. Why, Niu Jinxing's letter just arrived last night, and the people in both sides were family slaves. If you say that these people would leak the news, it would be a killing Luo Tai and Liu Jianyi to death. After all, they would be unlucky if the master committed a crime. They would be prosperous and both prosperous and lose.
But if it weren't for their disclosure, where did Zhang Linqi know? Luo Tai and Liu Jianyi were still thinking hard, but the military officials at the table shouted, "General, what did the letter say!" At the same time, their bodies were also unknowingly distanced themselves from Luo Tai and Liu Jianyi. Liu Dabangcui, who had been quietly on guard just now, directly inserted his thick body between Zhang Linqi, Luo Tai and Liu Jianyi to prevent them from having any actions that were not conducive to Zhang Linqi!
"Oh, I didn't say anything," Zhang Linqi said lightly: "That is, the conversation between fellow villagers and family chats. But at the end, Niu Jinxing mentioned it by the way. He said that the King of Chuang wanted to visit Luoyang City to check the property of your family and ask them to go for convenience!"
"What?" At first, Zhang Linqi said that the letter was just a remark and family conversation, and these military officials were calm, but when they heard the next sentence, they were all shocked. My goodness, Li Zicheng is going to Luoyang City for one day trip, it doesn't matter if he comes, but is ours still there?
"Then what did they both reply and say?" Wang Yinchang, Qian'an and others asked anxiously.
"Oh, they didn't say anything about their reply. After all, they have been favored by the emperor for many years, so how could they do something to be sorry for the court? In other words, they reluctantly agreed to Niu Jinxing's request, and copied your homes, and then take off your heads at that time, so as to serve as a gift for their meeting to be submitted to Li Zicheng's account."
