Chapter 187 People's Hearts? That's Not Important!
"Hmph! That Prince Zhu Ming of yours ruined my good deeds! He made me attack Chongqing and killed so many brothers! Damn it!"
Zhang Xianzhong stared at Zhu Changhao in front of him with an ugly expression.
Zhu Changhao had just been stepped on by Zhang Xianzhong. His chest originally hurt, but now he couldn't care less in order to save his own life.
"Great...great king, please spare me! I will give you all my wealth. I can do anything for you. Please spare me!"
Zhu Changhao looked at Zhang Xianzhong in front of him with a pleading look in his eyes.
He is scared now, very scared.
Originally, I fled from Hanzhong to Chongqing to avoid the war. I thought I would be safe in Chongqing.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xianzhong actually followed him to Chongqing.
As a result, he was captured by Zhang Xianzhong, the murderous devil.
Zhu Changhao is very scared right now. He is very afraid that the person in front of him will be killed with one knife!
"Come on, lick my shoes!"
Zhang Xianzhong said with a mocking look in his eyes towards Zhu Changhao in front of him. The strong power brought by his desire for survival made Zhu Changhao move his body with difficulty.
When he got close to Zhang Xianzhong, he didn't care anymore and started licking Zhang Xianzhong's shoes crazily.
"waste!"
Zhang Xianzhong directly stepped on Zhu Changhao's face, stepped on Zhu Changhao's face hard, rubbed it on the ground, and looked at Zhu Changhao's fat body in front of him.
Zhang Xianzhong stepped on his face and felt a happy feeling in his heart. This feeling was extremely strong.
"snort!"
After stepping on him, Zhang Xianzhong kicked him hard several times.
"Take him down! Lock him up!"
Zhang Xianzhong said to the bodyguard on the side.
The personal guards arrested Zhu Changhao and dragged him out.
At this moment, Li Dingguo happened to walk into the Yamen. He was slightly startled when he saw Zhu Changhao being dragged out.
Li Dingguo walked into the Yamen.
"Father!"
Zhang Xianzhong looked at Li Dingguo in front of him. His originally angry expression suddenly turned from gloomy to clear. With a smile on his face, he said to Li Dingguo standing aside: "Dingguo is here."
At this time, Li Dingguo hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhang Xianzhong in front of him and said: "Father, why do you want the army to sack Chongqing City, and why do you want to massacre Chongqing?"
Li Dingguo looked at Zhang Xianzhong in front of him with a serious face and said.
"You're talking about this!"
Zhang Xianzhong looked very calm, with a smile on his face. He looked at Li Dingguo in front of him and said: "My purpose is to make all Sichuan people afraid of us! How dare these guys resist me like this? If I don't teach them a lesson
, these people really think that I, Zhang Xianzhong, is easy to bully, right?"
As he said this, Zhang Xianzhong's face looked a little ferocious.
Looking at Zhang Xianzhong's expression, Li Dingguo showed a trace of hesitation in his eyes and said to Zhang Xianzhong in front of him: "But, father, if you do this, our troops will lose military discipline! And we will lose the support of the people.
!”
"Haha! People's support?"
A hint of indifference flashed through Zhang Xianzhong's eyes. He looked at Li Dingguo in front of him coldly and said, "Do we need that thing? I have long understood that these little people are not important at all.
All they want is a more stable life! Whoever wins, who they will help! If we kill all the disobedient ones, won’t the rest be obedient? So, do you think people’s support is important?”
"But……"
At this time, Li Dingguo wanted to say something else, but there was an anxious look on his face.
"Okay, that's the end of this topic!"
Zhang Xianzhong said calmly to Li Dingguo in front of him.
"How is the food in Chongqing Prefecture? Is it enough?"
"We sealed the granary immediately. We haven't finished counting yet, but preliminary estimates indicate that the Chongqing government warehouse is very full of grain, with at least 500,000 shi of grain!"
"good!"
Hearing Li Dingguo's words, Zhang Xianzhong suddenly showed an excited look on his face.
"Five hundred thousand shi of food! We will do a lot of things very well next! Hahahahaha!"
Zhang Xianzhong finally showed a cheerful smile.
And this is only the food in the official warehouse. There must be a lot of food in other places. Taken together, at least your own army must not be short of food!
Li Dingguo looked at his adoptive father's happy appearance. He hesitated for a moment and wanted to say something, but finally sighed in his heart and swallowed his words.
But the conversation changed.
"Father, the one you just stepped on was King Rui Zhu Changhao, right??"
Li Dingguo pondered for a moment, looked at Zhang Xianzhong in front of him and asked.
"how?"
Zhang Xianzhong looked at Li Dingguo in front of him with some curiosity.
"What is the adoptive father going to do with him?"
Li Dingguo looked at Zhang Xianzhong in front of him with some curiosity.
"Of course, kill him directly! It's best to kill him in front of everyone! Then chop him into pieces and use them as army rations!"
Zhang Xianzhong's face showed a trace of bloodthirsty light.
Li Dingguo hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhang Xianzhong in front of him and asked: "Father, why don't you use him as the cost and sell it to the Ming Dynasty? Given the importance the Ming Dynasty attaches to the vassal king, they should spend a lot of money to buy Zhu Changhao's head.
That’s right, there’s no need to kill…”
"I don't lack this much!"
Zhang Xianzhong said coldly.
"Just kill! What's there to say?"
Seeing Zhang Xianzhong's attitude, Li Dingguo had a look of helplessness in his eyes. He had no good solution. He always felt that his adoptive father was too murderous...
but……
News that Chongqing had been captured first reached Nanjing.
Chongzhen looked at the urgent military information in front of him.
An angry look suddenly appeared on his face.
"The thief deserves to die!"
Chongzhen slapped the table hard with some anger.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Wang Chengen on the side quickly said to Chongzhen in front of him.
At this time, Chongzhen quickly asked the messenger on the side: "What about Chengdu? Is there any problem??"
"General Huang Degong and General Qin Liangyu sent by His Highness the Prince combined their forces and blocked the Xian thieves' pursuit. Chengdu should be safe now!"
The messenger in front of him quickly said to Chongzhen.
Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief.
"But Chongqing fell...it will be difficult next!"
Although Chongzhen didn't know much about soldiers, he knew very well that Chongzhen was an important place in Bashu. This was a fatal place. If it was lost, it would be very fatal to the overall situation of Sichuan.
"Inform Huang Degong and Qin Liangyu! Protect Sichuan at all costs!"
Emperor Chongzhen said to the messenger in front of him.
Shortly after Emperor Chongzhen learned the news, Zhu Cixiang also learned the news.
