Chapter Twenty-Five: Hostage Exchange! Fire!
On the city wall, Chongzhen stood still, calmly scanning the subjects below.
"I pray to the emperor and the queen to protect the Ming Dynasty and rain down food to protect the people!"
The sonorous sound echoed between heaven and earth.
Suddenly, the sky was dark, the rolling dark clouds gathered, and a dark hole seemed to appear in the sky.
"What is this?"
"Could it be that the emperor prays to the heavens, it is useful?"
"Shhh Really? ”
Many of the people below stared up at the sky in disbelief with wide eyes.
How is this possible?
Could it be that the emperor is really the son of destiny?
At this time, the corners of Chongzhen's mouth were slightly hooked, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes.
He's exchanged a lot of things, and if the system doesn't have any special effects, he's sorry for his exchange points.
"System, exchange 50,000 catties of potatoes and 50,000 catties of sweet potatoes, plus 300 catties of super fertilizer."
In an instant, his exchange point bottomed out in an instant.
But the effect is also very good.
Chongzhen looked up at the sky, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked.
It's a pretty useful system!
At this moment, the hole in the sky flashed brightly.
A pillar of sky-high light suddenly descended from above, rushing straight to the ground.
"Ah, what a flash!"
"Heaven has appeared!"
"God bless the Ming! God bless the Emperor! ”
At this time, the people all covered their eyes, and their faces were full of incredulity.
And Fan Jingwen and other ministers also widened their eyes and kept rubbing their eyes.
How is this possible?
This scene simply subverted their three views.
There are countless man-made miracles in the past dynasties, but it is almost impossible for this miracle to be man-made.
The golden light flickered and gradually dissipated, and the items in the golden light came into view.
It was heavy bags of potatoes, sweet potatoes and super fertilizers, neatly stacked on the floor.
"This is the food and fertilizer that I prayed to heaven for!" Chongzhen opened his arms and shouted loudly. "Soon! There will be food in the capital! ”
What a miracle!
It's really God bless the Ming!
At this time, Fan Jingwen knelt on the ground, trembling all over, and looked up at Chongzhen above excitedly.
"God bless the Ming! Long live our emperor! ”
Accompanied by his shout, all around him knelt on the ground, looking up to the heavens in adoration.
"God bless the Ming, long live my emperor!"
"God bless the Ming, long live my emperor!"
"God bless the Ming, long live my emperor!"
The mighty shouts roared like a tide, resounding throughout the capital.
"Ladies and gentlemen! This great country and I will protect it with you! ”
Chongzhen's eyes were firm, and he raised his head and shouted.
Whether it's for his family or these people, he has to guard this place!
Chongzhen looked at the cheering people below, and his heart was quite happy.
These potatoes and sweet potatoes are planted and there is absolutely no problem with topping them for a while.
He slowly walked down the Forbidden City, thinking about what to do next.
That's when it happened.
Suddenly, a Xuanjia army came to Chongzhen.
"Your Majesty, the army has come to report that you want to exchange 30,000 stones of grain for Li Shuangxi!"
Chongzhen sighed, and his eyes immediately changed.
"Swapping food, fun! Will they be so honest? ”
He moved and looked out of the city.
Tonight, Yanyun's eighteen horsemen should be able to rob grain and grass!
Maybe you can plan it and put them in the army.
"Tell them I promised!" Chongzhen turned his head to look at the Xuanjia Army. "It's set for tonight!"
……
At this time, in the middle of the army.
Suddenly, scouts entered the main camp.
"King Qi, the Ming army has agreed to exchange General Li!"
When Li Zicheng heard this, he immediately laughed.
He nodded in satisfaction and patted Song Xiance on the shoulder heavily.
"It is worthy of being a military advisor, it is really like a god, this Chongzhen really agreed!" Li Zicheng said happily.
Song Xiance shook the feather fan, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smug smile.
"Well, I have heard from some missionaries that in ancient times there was a small country called Troy in the far west, and they built a big wooden horse and loaded soldiers into it."
"And the enemy thinks that the Trojan horse is a trophy, but they don't know that there is a hidden danger in it."
Song Xiance proudly showed off his knowledge,
At this point, he even had a feeling.
He must be a figure like Liu Bowen, who can help King Chuang unify the Central Plains.
Li Zicheng snorted and said with a smile: "Then it will be according to the plan of the military division!" ”
……
In the evening, it was getting dark.
Chongzhen, dressed in heavy armor, climbed the city wall and looked down.
Sure enough, I immediately saw dozens of huge carriages below, loaded with bags of grain, and it seemed that there was a lot of food.
Chongzhen touched his chin and kicked at the figure at his feet.
"Li Shuangxi, it seems that your godfather is good to you, and he even wants to exchange grain and grass!" Chongzhen said with a smile.
Li Shuangxi lay on the ground and laughed with him, and nodded hurriedly.
The huge movement shook the chains around his body, making him ping-pong.
"That's right, Your Majesty, you're right, now he's just my godson, and he will definitely protect me!"
Li Shuangxi smiled flatteringly and knelt on the ground flatteringly.
Chongzhen sneered, stopped talking, and his eyes fell on the grain cart below.
Will this Li Zicheng be so honest? He didn't believe it anyway!
At this time, Li Zicheng's voice suddenly sounded under the city.
"Chongzhen, open the city gate quickly!"
"Thirty thousand stone grain has arrived, why don't you send Li Shuangxi down quickly!"
Li Zicheng stood below and roared at Chongzhen.
Chongzhen glanced at Li Zicheng, kicked Li Shuangxi away, and then waved his left hand.
"Take it down, open the door!"
In an instant, the Zhengyang Gate slowly opened.
Li Zicheng gave the soldiers driving the carriage a look, and the soldiers immediately nodded slightly.
It's all in plain sight.
At this time, people from both sides gathered in front of Zhengyang Gate.
Just when Li Shuangxi and the carriage were less than twenty steps apart, Li Zicheng's eyes flashed, revealing a gloomy smile.
"All the soldiers, kill!"
As soon as the words fell, the grain and grass behind the dozens of carriages arched open, and hundreds of well-equipped soldiers rushed towards the city.
Kill!
The huge shouts of killing rushed to the sky, and the dim fire light shone on half of Li Zicheng's face, revealing a cold evil smile.
"Chongzhen, you're still defeated after all, hahaha!"
Li Zicheng looked up to the sky and laughed.
But at this time, Chongzhen just stood quietly on the city wall.
Not only did he not panic at all, but the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he looked like he was holding a wisdom bead.
"Do you really think I didn't think of it? Too young! ”
Chongzhen slowly raised his right hand at this time, and in an instant, a row of torches on the city wall was lit.
Ten red cannons poured in iron and cast steel were impressively placed on the city wall, and there were many Frann cannons mixed with them, and the soldiers held bird guns in their hands.
Under the city wall, the Zhengyang Gate was slammed shut.
Li Zicheng's smile suddenly froze on his face, and the whole person seemed to be choked, and his face turned blue.
This is the cannon that was captured by Chongzhen before the invasion of the army!
Chongzhen looked ahead and shouted violently.
"Fire!"
