After listening to Chen Gong's idea, Zhu Youzhen wrote an edict and ordered him to take up his post.

After Chen Gong thanked him, he immediately began to prepare.

Following.

East of the outer city.

Countless huge military camps have been established, and hundreds of wooden camps are surrounded by the eastern city, like animal pens.

In the camp, many people came and went, in groups of three or five, following the officers and soldiers in front of them to cultivate the road.

"Stand up! Let's get moving! ”

In the camp, there were quite a few officers and soldiers with whips standing here, staring around with wide eyes, and the whips in their hands were thrown in the air with a loud crackling sound.

And the prisoners hurriedly moved, not daring to delay in the slightest.

Many of these new prisoners sighed.

They joined the invasion army to have enough to eat, and now that they are prisoners, I am afraid that there is nothing!

Too unlucky!

At this moment, a loud roar suddenly sounded in the camp.

"It's time to eat!"

As soon as the words fell, only a hula was heard, and the group of people rushed towards the front with a hula.

The dozen or so newly captured prisoners looked at the crowd in front of them in confusion, and couldn't help but look up at the sun.

"It's not noon now, why eat at this point!" One wondered.

According to the time, the normal meal should be one in the morning and one in the afternoon, but here it is all in advance.

"There are three meals a day here, one in the morning, one in the evening, don't you hurry up and squeeze in!" An old prisoner next to him said in passing.

The eyes of these new prisoners suddenly lit up, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva and squeeze in desperately.

Whether it was farming or being a thief in the past, there were two meals a day, but here you can eat three meals.

These people immediately squeezed desperately inside.

Smack!

The officers and soldiers standing next to him shook their whips and immediately glared: "Be honest with me and line up!" ”

The hundreds of people who were crowded in front immediately shrank their necks and honestly lined up.

The new prisoners pressed their toes and looked ahead, but they were crowded with people, and all they could see were heads.

"What do you eat here?" A new captive poked his head out, his face full of curiosity.

The old prisoner in his forties stood in front of them, turned to look at them a few times, and said with a smile: "Then you are lucky, you can eat as soon as you come in!" ”

"Brother, what's going on?" Someone asked.

The old prisoner looked at the surprised eyes around him, trembled, and said, "The emperor is very gracious, as long as we work here, we will take care of three meals a day, and I heard that if we perform well, we will have money and food." ”

Several newcomers around him immediately swallowed their saliva.

"There is such a good thing, the previous conscripts were all not able to eat!" A humane.

There was a pause around, and someone next to him continued: "Yes, Liu Laosan, my fellow villager, fell to his death while repairing the river, and his beautiful daughter-in-law ran away!" ”

At this time, it was finally their turn to eat.

The officers and men in charge of the spoon directly took out a roasted sweet potato and potato, and scooped a bowl of vegetable leaf porridge from the large pot next to him.

"One sweet potato and one potato, one bowl of vegetable leaf porridge, and the next one!"

The officers and soldiers who were scooping porridge shouted, and then someone pushed him away from behind.

The people gathered in a corner, looked curiously at the potatoes and sweet potatoes in their hands, and then took a bite.

"Hmm!! It's delicious! ”

The man's eyes lit up, he threw his head up sharply, and immediately began to gobble it up.

Seeing this, the people around also licked their lips and immediately ate them.

"Delicious! It's delicious! ”

"Really! I've never eaten anything so good! ”

"This tastes so good!"

After eating, they licked their fingers with a look of aftertaste.

"It's much better here than in the army!"

"Yes! I went to burn bricks in the morning, and there was nothing else! ”

"It is worthy of the emperor, I heard that this grain was obtained by the emperor praying to heaven!"

These people sat here, sighing in their hearts, thanking for this hard-won food.

"I've heard that King Chuang will be beheaded in two days!"

"Oh, that's it!"

These people didn't react much, they didn't care.

As long as there is food, fools will rebel!

……

Day 3.

The entrance of the Beijing vegetable market.

Li Zicheng was dressed in prison clothes and dragged directly into the prison car to start the march.

The north wind in the capital is still very cold, blowing and rustling on the empty streets.

His face was pale, and the cold wind of early spring blew on him, making him shiver.

"God will kill me!" Li Zicheng raised his head and sighed.

And next to him, Song Xiance also had a bitter face, thinking back to his previous failed strategy, and all kinds of regrets suddenly appeared in his heart.

"King Chuang, it's all my fault!" Song Xiance muttered.

Li Zicheng shook his head, let out a long sigh, and then lowered his head.

"What a king, just a thief! Get in the car! The prisoner next to him sneered, directly put on the shackles and chains, and pushed the prisoner cart.

Li Zicheng and Song Xiance were immediately pushed into the prison car, and after them, a series of thieves were also escorted into the prison car to parade.

At first, the streets were silent, but it didn't take long for someone to see the prisoner's van and immediately call for friends to surround it.

"This is the thief? It looks just like us! ”

"He is the one who caused us to be trapped in the city, kill him!"

"That's right! Shoot him! ”

The surrounding people were furious, and they didn't know where to find rotten vegetable leaves and swill, and threw them at Li Zicheng.

Smack!

The stinky rotten leaves smashed on Li Zicheng's face, and he couldn't help but turn red with anger, while Song Xiance lowered his head in shame and didn't dare to say a word.

Not long after, Li Zicheng was escorted into the execution ground.

The executioner took a sip of the drink, and then slammed it on the broadsword, making it brighter.

Li Zicheng pushed off the prisoner cart and was directly pressed to the execution ground.

He gritted his teeth and raised his head, and when he boarded, he saw Zhu Youzhen in the middle of the high platform not far away.

When Li Zicheng saw this, his face was full of unwillingness.

He fought in the north and south for half of his life, and finally attacked the capital with the general trend of the world, but he didn't expect to lose here at all.

"I really can't imagine that I, Li Zicheng, will die here!" Li Zicheng sneered and looked up at the sky.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen sat on the high platform, his eyebrows raised slightly, and his eyes looked at Li Zicheng intently.

"So, you're still not convinced!" Zhu Youzhen said.

Li Zicheng's eyes flashed with anger.

"I'm not convinced! Why do you Zhu family sit on the country, why can you fish and flesh the people, why! ”

As soon as the words fell, there was chaos around them.

"Bold!"

The surrounding officials yelled angrily.

Zhu Youzhen sneered and said, "I don't care if the Zhu family is the emperor, but only I can make the world peaceful!" Only I can let the people live and work in peace and contentment, no one has this ability, only I have! ”

"History has proven that you can't!"
