Chapter Forty-One Receives Shi Lang and Zhu Yousong Dies
Shi Lang stood on the shore and shouted to the sky. He didn't understand why Zheng Sen would consider him a traitor when he was so loyal and he would kill all his family members. It must be the villain Feng Xifan. Shi Lang knelt down
On the grass, he wished he could die immediately and see his children. The death of his family made him extremely emotional and miserable.
Several cronies around Shi Lang helped him up, and one of his cronies asked: "General, let's leave quickly, it will be bad if the Zheng family's pursuers come." Shi Lang said with red eyes, "Let's go, let's go to the guards.
One day I will definitely kill all the young and old of the Zheng family to take revenge." After saying that, he took his trusted followers and ran towards the protection territory.
Huang Ziya, who was on the top floor of the Suzhou Government Office Building, was looking at the information on the table in his office. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he became. This man who was as beautiful as a beautiful woman and called himself Zhang Huahan was an actor. His stage name was Bai Mudan. His real name was also found out, and his name was Li.
Baby, but it’s too early to use it anymore, her name is also Bai Mudan, and she is also a homosexual. She hanged herself because of the death of the man she loved. Later, it was said that she faked her body and left. And the Bai Mudan who was there a few days ago was obviously very familiar with the nurse.
Weapons, and according to the information, Bai Mudan can only sing opera. He spends all his time practicing martial arts, opera, singing, practicing basic skills and acting. All these are testified by people in the theater troupe. Moreover, Zhang Huahan invented new weapons and shelled ammunition in a long time.
For a long time, Bai Mudan had not been out of the troupe's backyard during this period, and even the night watchers of the troupe testified that she had no time or conditions to access the information on new weapons and shelled ammunition written by Zhang Huahan.
Huang Ziya didn't know how to explain all these unexplainable weirdness. It seemed that the only explanation was the resurrection of a dead body, which was unbelievable. Huang Ziya thought that Bai Mudan's movements, habits, expressions, and speech characteristics were very similar to Zhang Huahan, or in other words, he was very similar to Zhang Huahan.
He is exactly the same as Zhang Huahan, so if this White Mudan is not a resurrected corpse, then it means that he is not White Mudan. Huang Ziya immediately sent people to find people who are familiar with White Mudan. He must find out.
On the battlefield in Huguang, the war that lasted for two months suddenly seemed to be over, because the guards suddenly disappeared, and only small groups of guards could be seen occasionally. And as soon as they saw a large number of Manchu troops and Zheng's troops, Mu
The Jiajun and Gui Wangjun fled, and only the Zheng Jiajun, Mu Jiajun, Guiwang Army and a small group of soldiers from the Manchu Army were killed or disappeared.
As the Hu army showed weakness to the forces of all parties and expressed their willingness to surrender, the Manchu and Nanming forces stopped attacking the Hu army, and conflicts began to occur between them.
At the beginning, Zheng Sen led his troops to enter Wuchang, and there were 5,000 Qing army green battalions guarding the city of Wuchang. Zheng Sen's army had many artillery, and they directly blasted open the city gates and occupied Wuchang.
When the Manchu generals Dorbo, Tan Tai, Leng Sengji and Ye Bilong saw that Zheng Sen had started a war with them, they immediately raised their troops and marched to Wuchang to eliminate Zheng Sen, the most powerful warlord in the Southern Ming Dynasty.
Zheng Sen led only 150,000 troops, and his hundreds of thousands of troops were still in the south and had not yet arrived. However, the Manchu and Qing troops had more than 200,000 people and a large number of artillery and muskets. Zheng Sen immediately sent people to Mu
Tianbo and King Gui asked for help.
After receiving Zheng Sen's letter asking for help, Mu Tianbo and Gui Wang each agreed wholeheartedly but stayed put. Later, when Zheng Sen sent people to urge them, they both sent them back with reasons such as insufficient firearms, gunpowder, and insufficient food and grass.
After Zheng Sen heard the report from his men in Wuchang, he slammed the table angrily and cursed: "Ask me for food, grass, gunpowder and firearms? There are no doors. You didn't lack anything when you were fighting for the land. You want to beat me." Pay attention, there is no way." He immediately assigned the messenger and said: "Send the order and the whole army retreats." Zheng Sen looked at the messenger who ran out and said in a low voice: "Humph, it's best to wait until we gather the troops to attack the Qing Dynasty. If they attack Nanjing and kill the emperor, I will be able to elect the King of Tang as the emperor. I will be the founding hero of the country. As long as I have the emperor in my hands, the world will be mine."
With the retreat of Zheng Sen, the armies of Mu Tianbo and King Gui were now directly facing the Manchu army. The 150,000 troops pulled by Mu Tianbo and King Gui from their hometowns were killed in battle or 50,000 were consumed in the occupied city. The total number of troops now totaled only 100,000, which was no match for the Manchu and Qing army. After several defeats with the Manchu and Qing army forwards, they withdrew.
With the retreat of Zheng Sen's army and the Mu and Gui coalition forces, Huguang was ostensibly occupied by the Qing Dynasty. The Manchu Qing army quickly attacked the depleted Jiangxi and marched towards Nanjing.
Zhu Yousong, the Hongguang Emperor in the Nanjing Palace, seemed much older. He dreamed of Zhang Huahan every day when he went to bed at night these days. He felt that he should hate Zhang Huahan, but Zhang Huahan was really dead. He found that he did not hate Zhang Huahan that much, but Still thinking about this person, and as the situation worsened, Zhu Yousong thought of the ideal social system of a constitutional monarchy mentioned by Zhang Huahan. He felt that the system was not bad, it was really good. Now capable ministers can move around or close down. Guan, damn it. Only two generals, Li Huaifang and Huang Degong, could use it in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. The Manchu and Qing army would arrive at Nanjing in a few days. Although Nanjing had more than 200,000 troops, most of them lacked firearms. It was difficult for the newly recruited soldiers to defend themselves against the same number of Manchu Qing troops.
Zhu Yousong did not go to court these days, and just asked Li Huaifang and Huang Degong to defend Nanjing City. He had already sent people to Fujian and Yunnan to ask for help, but he knew that the people from both places would not come. If Zhang Huahan was not killed by him, he would If he asked the protector for help, he would probably come to rescue him. But now he has blocked his escape route and killed the people who could save him. When the protector was in danger, he killed Zhang Huahan himself. The result of cooperation with the Manchus was the result of their cooperation.
Zhu Yousong suddenly resented himself, resented himself for not fully cooperating with Zhang Huahan, and hated himself for killing Zhang Huahan, the man who had saved him and could save him in the future. He remembered Zhang Huahan's heroism when he rescued him from the tens of thousands of troops and how he killed him. The other party's determination made him sigh involuntarily.
At this time, Eunuch Gao, who had been promoted to the eunuch in charge of the palace because of the murder of Zhang Huahan, came over and said to Zhu Yousong with a low smile: "Your Majesty, you have been staying in the house for two full days. It's time to go out for a walk and stretch your muscles. The imperial doctor said However, going out and doing some exercise is good for your health.”
Zhu Yousong suddenly felt that he particularly hated this Eunuch Gao. He was the one who killed Zhang Huahan and ruined his own life. But it seems that he was the one who issued the order. No, if you issued the order wrongly, you don't have to carry it out. , or you can save yourself instead of Zhang Huahan.
Zhu Yousong looked at the smiling face of Eunuch Gao and remembered that he had trained him in musketry command and combat command in order to guard against Zhang Huahan. Huang Degong had asked many veteran generals to teach him. It can be said that it took a lot of effort on his part. At that time, he was indeed afraid of Zhang Huahan. On the surface, Zhang Huahan treated him with utmost respect, but Zhang Huahan's personal strength and powerful military power made him really sleepless. Once Zhang Huahan changed his mind, he would die.
Zhu Yousong stood up and asked Eunuch Gao to help him walk around the dormitory. Zhu Yousong asked Eunuch Gao: "When will the Manchu and Qing troops come?" Eunuch Gao smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this servant doesn't know, otherwise I will kill Li Huaifang." The two generals He Huang Degong called to ask?" Zhu Yousong said loudly: "No, you don't even know when the enemy will come, you are still laughing, why are you laughing?"
Eunuch Gao immediately said with a mournful face: "I am also very anxious, but my ancestors have regulations. I don't know if I am violating my ancestors' precepts by asking for information. I am incompetent and I deserve to die."
Zhu Yousong said: "You don't deserve to die, it's me who deserves to die. I ruined my own way out. If I had known today, I wouldn't have thought about the absolute imperial power of one person over ten thousand people. What does Zhang Huahan think of as a national symbol?" The emperor is absolutely safe, safe!"
When Eunuch Gao heard this, it turned out that the emperor was worried about the fact that no one came to save him after killing Zhang Huahan. Eunuch Gao said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the Emperor has been destined by fate and is a person sent by God. Naturally, because of this, It's time to have absolute rights. Zhang Huahan wants to divide the emperor's rights, which is like an act of rebellion. If he doesn't kill him, it would be against the laws of nature. Because he should kill him, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Nanjing City guarding Nanjing for the emperor. It's full of There is nothing to fear from the Qing army, and there are reinforcements from King Gui and Prince Mu, as well as Duke Zheng Sen of Fujian, so there is no need to worry about your safety.
Zhu Yousong was furious and shouted: "Fuck you, you are talking nonsense, you bastard, King Gui, Mu Tianbo and Zheng Sen wish I was dead, so they came to help, you villain, you killed Zhang Huahan, and now Zhang Huahan If you are dead, you will be fine. You surrendered to the Manchus and continued to be your eunuch. What about me? All the Zhu family members captured by the Manchus were killed. They were all killed! I will kill you." With that said, he pushed Eunuch Gao away and went to get the sword hanging on the pillar.
Eunuch Gao was frightened, and held on to Zhu Yousong, fearing that he would take the sword and chop him, and shouted: "Your Majesty, this servant is loyal. This servant got your order to kill Zhang Huahan. It was you who killed him." , it’s not me! You are awake and awake!”
Zhu Yousong didn't know where the strength came from. He grabbed Eunuch Gao's neck and pinched him hard. Eunuch Gao quickly let go of his clothes. His hands and feet twitched, he foamed at the mouth, and his eyes widened. After a while, he Not moving anymore.
After Zhu Yousong strangled Eunuch Gao to death, he ignored the eunuchs and the guards picked up Eunuch Gao's body and walked to the wall. They looked at the wall with sadness for a while, giggled for a while, shouted the words Zhang Huahan, and shouted for democracy and freedom. , and then shouted to kill Zhang Huahan. Zhu Yousong went crazy.dd
