Chapter 417: A group of heroes join in the fun, a harbinger of chaos
The war horses are like thunder and fierce like the tide!
The iron hoofs trampled on the ground and shattered it into powder!
Li Zicheng was also alarmed on the city wall. He quickly looked into the distance and saw galloping horses all over the sky, rushing towards the capital like a dark wave.[]
Li Zicheng's eyes were fixed, and he smiled as usual. He knew who it was immediately without thinking about it, but they didn't expect that Huang Taiji came so quickly. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty at the border were all vegetarians. He actually called
Huang Taiji sent his troops to the city at this time.
I have to say that Li Zicheng gave Chongzhen a surprise just yesterday. Unexpectedly, Huang Taiji gave him an exactly the same surprise today!
Li Zicheng's face, which had always been smiling, had become extremely stiff and returned to its original dull expression. The officials behind Li Zicheng were shaking like chaff. You know
They had just followed a new emperor and had not yet established a firm foothold. Why did Huang Taiji attack again? And, the most important thing is, looking at the power of Huang Taiji, he was much more powerful than Li Zicheng!
Li Zicheng narrowed his eyes slightly, turned back to look at the officials, with a look of naked disgust in his eyes, and then sneered: "You are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty. When the country dies and the king dies, don't you plan to die and be buried to fulfill the duties of ministers?"
Dao?"
All the officials were stunned for a moment, and then a look of horror appeared on their faces. Even a fool could understand what Li Zicheng meant by what he said. Those who were more thoughtful already understood the reason why Li Zicheng said this. These knowing
Because of the reason, he collapsed directly to the ground, his eyes were full of despair, and he couldn't say even a single word!
If Huang Taiji's army had not arrived, they could naturally follow Li Zicheng and show their loyalty. But now that Huang Taiji's army has arrived, it is like repeating the situation when Li Zicheng's army arrived yesterday. Of course, Li Zicheng is afraid of them.
The officials then opened the city gate in the middle of the night and put Huang Taiji into the city. We must learn from the past and have to be careful!
Li Zicheng saw that many of the ministers were so horrified that they knelt down to beg and begged. He glanced left and right with contempt in his eyes and said, "Please help me, my lords. What did Chongzhen say?"
By the way, it's 'cutting the corpses of thieves and feeding them to the dogs.' Tsk, tsk, I won't bother Chang Xiao to take action on this matter. I'm here to fulfill this last wish for Chongzhen! I also want the people of the world to know what happens to those who sell out and seek glory!
I just don’t know if dogs will eat your smelly meat!”
As he spoke, Li Zicheng waved his hand, and the surrounding soldiers immediately pressed forward. The sword in his hand flew without hesitation, and blood sprayed everywhere with the flying sword. These ministers were completely desperate and cursed in unison. They did not expect that they had actually
They came to a dead end so quickly. If they had known this, why bother? In the past, no matter how much Chongzhen made them dislike him, he still would not treat them like this. At least there was no big problem in enjoying the Ming Dynasty's salary and wealth.
Li Zicheng felt that the cries of these officials crying for their fathers and mothers were really annoying. What annoyed him the most in his life was these guys calling their fathers and mothers when they were about to die. Unexpectedly, all these guys gathered on the city wall!
Li Zicheng frowned and said: "If you keep making noise, throw them all into the city!"
Immediately, these officials were thrown out from the top of the city like sandbags, and fell to the ground into a bloody paste.
It was very easy to kill hundreds of officials. In a short time, the city wall had been cleaned up. Li Zicheng looked at the huge wave coming over from a distance. At this time, the huge wave had stopped, and the people on the horses dismounted one after another.
, and began to set up camp.
There is also a dragon rising into the sky in this camp. This dragon looks gray in color. It is not as red and fiery as Li Zicheng's dragon, nor is it as energetic as the ever-smiling golden dragon!
It seems that the aura on the dragon is mixed and the dragon head is unclear. It is obviously a hybrid dragon that has not yet matured! This has something to do with the small dragon veins around Middle-earth!
Li Zicheng said: "Give me the order. All the soldiers guarding the city will be replaced by my Dashun officers. All the old officials of the Ming Dynasty will be supervised and restrained. If there is any resistance, they will be killed directly! There will also be control over the whole city, and all the young and strong people will be guarded separately.
, Men, women, old and children are not allowed to gather in groups of more than five people. Once five people are found, they will be killed..."
Li Zicheng issued more than ten orders in one go. Then Li Zicheng looked at Chang Xiao, only to find that Chang Xiao and his men had disappeared. Just when he thought Chang Xiao had left, the soldiers next to him turned towards the city.
Guidance.
Li Zicheng looked around and saw Chang Xiao riding his horse to the bottom of the city, collecting the broken bodies of Chongzhen and Queen Zhou. Then Chang Xiao raised his head and looked at Li Zicheng, and then rode away.
Li Zicheng glanced at the two corpses behind Chang Xiao's horse, and then looked back at the series of horses and warriors. His eyes couldn't help but squint again. It was as if he had been pricked by a needle.
Just by looking at it like this, Li Zicheng knew that this time Huang Taiji brought not as many soldiers but not too few, at least fifty or sixty thousand, including a lot of cavalry.
The most important thing is that the bandits under Li Zicheng brought their families, while the ones brought by Huang Taiji were all solid soldiers, and there were no female relatives! Therefore, although the total number of people is quite different, at a glance, the emperor
Taiji's soldiers were much more powerful than Li Zicheng's soldiers, and most of Li Zicheng's soldiers were bandits, but the generals brought by Huang Taiji were not. Each of these generals were battle-hardened.
, there is absolutely no comparability between the two.
If we want to talk about commonalities, it is not without them. After all, Huang Taiji's generals and Li Zicheng's generals are both bandits, and they are both bandits who loot everywhere. It's just that Huang Taiji's army has been bandits for too long, and they have become better with age.
, and Li Zicheng has just started, and is in the best period of rising career. One is a soldier, and the other is a recruit!
At this time, a group of people ran out from Huang Taiji's side. There were seven or eight people in this group. The leader was a general wearing a Ming military uniform. He was obviously the Ming army who surrendered to Huang Taiji!
This general was very young. When he rushed to the city, he shouted loudly: "Li Tieni, hand over the emperor quickly and withdraw from the capital. Otherwise, I will teach you that you will never come back! I will trample you into dust!"
Li Zicheng snorted coldly. He was too lazy to talk to a guy like this who didn't even have all his baby teeth. One look at the official uniform he was wearing showed that this guy was a minor character!
Li Zicheng doesn't care, but there will naturally be someone nearby to deal with it!
"Little boy, who are you?"
"I am your father, Wu Sangui! We have now invited Qing soldiers to help, with a total of 60,000 cavalry. If you don't want to die quickly, please get out of the capital as soon as possible!"
Li Zicheng's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this. Is there something wrong with this little beast's brain? He never thought about how he would lead the Qing army into the pass and how to send the Qing army out?
Li Zicheng looked behind him and realized that all the civil servants and generals had been slaughtered, and no one came to ask questions. He waved his hand to his side, and the soldier immediately got off the city wall, and soon he grabbed an official.
Come up.
The official didn't know that all the other officials had been killed, so he said cautiously: "What is your Majesty's order?"
Li Zicheng asked: "Who is Wu Sangui?"
The official thought for a while and found that the name was a bit unfamiliar to him. Li Zicheng reminded: "He's from Liaodong!"
When the official heard this, his eyes lit up and he quickly said: "I remembered it, I remembered it. This Wu Sangui is the son of Wu Xiang, the original commander-in-chief of Liaodong. Wu Xiang was a military Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi. Not long ago, this Wu Xiang
He was transferred back to the capital and is now in charge of the capital camp. He is now in the city!"
Li Zicheng smiled when he heard this and said, "Take a few people and capture Wu Xiang for me! Tell him to see his good son."
The official wiped his sweat and nodded in agreement!
Wu Sangui was still yelling and cursing outside the city, his voice as loud as bells and drums.
Li Zicheng took out his ears. At this time, Wu Xiang had been brought behind Li Zicheng. Wu Xiang, with gray hair and beard, was tied tightly with a rope.
Not all the officials in the capital surrendered to Li Zicheng, most of them did. Only a few were still a little proud and refused to surrender, and Wu Xiang was obviously one of them!"
Wu Xiang's mouth was tightly gagged. Even so, when he saw Li Zicheng, his face was still full of anger, and he was making sounds like thunder. He must have been scolding Li Zicheng's eighteenth generation ancestors. This still blocked his mouth.
If it wasn't blocked, I don't know how loud the sound would be!
Li Zicheng frowned slightly. The two men looked really alike. Their voices were loud and deafening. Li Zicheng said with a gloomy face: "Wu Xiang, your son is here to see you!"
Wu Xiang was stunned when he heard this, and then he was pushed to the edge of the city wall by the soldiers behind him. Then Wu Xiang saw Wu Sangui under the city wall!
Naturally, Wu Sangui also saw his father. When he saw Wu Xiang being tied up, Wu Sangui immediately shouted: "The dog thief named Li, put my father down quickly!"
Li Zicheng nodded and told him that it was as he wished!
Naturally, there was a loud military man nearby shouting: "Emperor Dashun said it is as you wish!"
After saying that, the soldier picked up Wu Xiang's legs and threw Wu Xiang straight down!
There was a loud bang, and Wu Xiang's head fell to pieces and was a bloody mess!
Wu Sangui's voice felt like it was being strangled by the neck, and he couldn't make a single sound!
After a long while, Wu Sangui screamed and galloped forward to snatch Wu Xiang's body back!
Li Zicheng waved his hand and said: "This body will be left here for me to show to the public!"
Immediately a rain of arrows rained down, shooting Wu Sangui back!
Wu Sangui tried to step forward again and again, but was blocked by arrows. He was also hit by an arrow in the shoulder!
Wu Sangui's pupils were filled with blood and he shouted: "Tie Ni, when I step into the capital, I will cut you into pieces! Tie Ni, I swear you will not die well..."
At this time, the official suddenly stepped forward and reported to Li Zicheng: "Your Majesty, there are still more than thirty members of the Wu family in the capital..."
Li Zicheng glanced at the official with a lot of malice in his eyes, but then he changed his mind. He always needs a few people around him who know about court incidents, and this guy is quite knowledgeable!
Li Zicheng nodded immediately and said: "Go and bring all the people from the Wu family to me!"
