Chapter Forty-Eight: Killing Cheng Guogong
For some veterans, cleaning up the battlefield is to pick up money, not to mention the large amount of property carried by the Qing soldiers on the horses, almost all the Qing soldiers who were killed hid the stolen silver money, which is cheap for the soldiers of the Yongwei battalion.
Many veterans of the Yongwei Battalion who were born in the border army committed occupational diseases again, stripped all the things that could be picked up on the Qing soldiers, and then cut off their heads with a knife as a military merit.
Huang Degong pointed to a veteran of the Yongwei Battalion and said, "Are you fucking poor?" What are they doing with their armor? We are now the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, not bad for these broken things! ”
The veteran stretched out his bloody hand, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said, "General, isn't this what you got used to when you were in the border army!" ”
Huang Degong hurriedly took two steps back, for fear of splashing blood, waved his hand and said: "Come on, let's be smart, dig a big hole and bury these stupid defects, and drag those seriously injured war horses back to improve their lives." ”
Soon, the dozens of Qing soldiers who had fled before had been chased and shot by the cavalry of the Yongwei battalion, and the cavalry of the Yongwei battalion had a flintlock pistol in their hands, and they released the gun while riding a horse, which was used as a training to move and shoot the target, and finally only three live mouths were left to drag back.
The three captives who were dragged back were immediately interrogated, and the three captives were all Manchurian, and at first they pretended not to understand Chinese, and they were very dishonest, shouting a mouthful of birds, like an uncle who touches porcelain.
Zhu Cihong found Li Tingbiao and brought a few Jinyi guards, and after tasting the whip of Jin Yiwei, he poured a few bowls of spicy hot pot soup leftover.
When they were about to be driven to the tiger bench and ready to 'serve', several Qing prisoners immediately relented and told everything they knew.
Li Tingbiao kicked over the Qing soldiers who had been captured by the spicy Qing soldiers with red faces and tongues sticking out their mouths, and said in disappointment: "Where have you gotten here, it's really boring!" ”
Zhu Cihong was also speechless, thinking that these Qing soldiers were so hard in their bones, just to observe the various large-scale Jinyi Guards, but these Qing soldiers were so cowardly.
I knew that I couldn't stand the torture and confessed early, why bother to make such a shameless crime, it's really cheap!
According to the three captives, there was a Mongol army with a yellow banner inlaid with a yellow banner and five Niulu thirty miles to the south, with a total strength of about 3,000 people.
One Jiala is five Niulu, that is to say, there are ten Niulu in the camp behind the shield of the Qing army, that is, 3,000 people, and one Niulu was eliminated by the city, and there are still 2,700 people left.
This news is similar to what Li Tingbiao sent, but Zhu Cihong didn't know why Long Xiang of the Yongwei Battalion didn't accept it at night and didn't send the information.
After finding out the situation of the enemy army, Zhu Cihong decided to lead the army to attack and ate the Qing army of 2,700 people.
Zhu Cihong ordered the Beijing battalion to send a battalion of troops to cooperate with the Yongwei battalion to go out of the city and eat the dumplings of the Qing army. As a result, as soon as the generals of the Beijing camp heard that they were going out of the city to meet the enemy, their faces turned white with fright, and they did not leave the city, and said that without the orders of His Majesty and Zhu Chunchen, they did not dare to send troops privately.
Zhu Cihong really wanted to cut a few generals of the Beijing camp to collect this team, but he didn't dare to make a big deal about it, and it seemed useless to collect this group of waste in the Beijing camp.
At this moment, a few horsemen came down from the city, waving something in their hands and shouting.
When a general of the Beijing camp on the city wall saw it, he immediately shouted: "It's Chengguo Gong who has returned!" Open the gates! ”
Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, entered the Xizhi Gate surrounded by several Beijing camp generals, and as soon as he entered the city, he was blocked at the city gate by Zhu Cihong and others.
Zhu Cihong asked coldly: "Chengguo Gong, you were ordered to inspect the border passes, why did you appear here?" ”
Zhu Chunchen looked at the East Palace's unkind face, frowned and said: "The border pass has long been lost, where can the old man stay if he doesn't come back?" ”
Zhu Cihong continued to ask: "Where were you when the slaves attacked Changping?" ”
Zhu Chunchen said in a deep voice: "The old man is naturally in Changping City!" ”
Zhu Cihong said again: "The king of the imperial history of the patrol Wang Zhaokun died in battle, where are you?" ”
"I ..... I withdrew after the Tartars broke the city, what do you mean, Your Royal Highness the Prince? Are you questioning the old man? Zhu Chunchen hesitated, and then said loudly.
Zhu Cihong sneered and said: "You have become a hereditary successor of the Duke of the Kingdom, you have received the emperor's grace, and the dynasty has raised your family for twelve generations, but what did you Zhu Chunchen do?" Abandon the city and flee! Someone came, tied up Zhu Chunchen! ”
Zhu Cihong gave an order, and immediately several soldiers from the Yongwei battalion stepped forward and tied up the struggling Zhu Chunchen.
The British Duke Zhang Zhiji was taken aback, and immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, no, Your Majesty has to treat the successive Chengguo Princes with courtesy, and you do this to let Your Majesty know what to do?" ”
Zhu Cihong stared at Zhang Zhiji with a cold face, and said, "British duke, this palace advises you to say a few words!" ”
Zhang Zhiji felt that at this young age in Donggong, there was a chill on his body, he opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything.
Zhu Chunchen shouted: "Prince, you are so daring, dare to tie up the old man, you haven't become the emperor yet, you dare to be so arrogant!" The old man will definitely join you in the future! ”
Zhu Cihong sneered: "In the future? I'm afraid that there will be no future, someone will come and behead Zhu Chunchen! ”
Zhu Chunchen looked at Zhu Cihong blankly, he didn't know who gave Zhu Cihong such courage that he dared to directly order himself to be killed.
Zhang Zhiji was also stunned, did Donggong's brain twitch? Want to behead Zhu Chunchen?
Zhu Chunchen laughed and said, "Zhu Cihong, you dare to kill me? The old man is ........"
"Bang!"
Before Zhu Chunchen's words were finished, Zhu Cihong directly took out the rotating musket he was carrying, and shot Zhu Chunchen's head.
Suddenly, Zhu Chunchen fell directly to the ground softly, blood sprayed out from the bullet holes, and his dilated pupils seemed to reveal an incredible look.
The surrounding soldiers were all frightened and stunned in place, Zhang Zhiji couldn't help but tremble, his face turned pale, and he was glad that he didn't talk nonsense.
At the same time, he was also extremely afraid of the thunderous methods of the East Palace, a hereditary prince, he actually killed him when he said he would kill it, and he slaughtered it with his own hands?
Even Li Tingbiao, Huang Degong, Sun Yingyuan, Xu Sheng and other Zhu Cihong's henchmen all felt a chill, this crown prince is a master who says everything!
Zhu Cihong was extremely disgusted and ordered someone to carry Zhu Chunchen's body away, and then he stared at everyone and said in a deep voice: "In this palace, whether you are a prince or a soldier, if you are afraid of the enemy and retreat, this is the end!" The dynasty does not raise waste! ”
"Spread Zhu Chunchen's head all over the nine gates, so that all battalions can see it clearly, and at the same time order all battalions in the capital to strengthen the defense of the nine gates, if there is any slackness, it will not be spared!"
"Yes!" All the soldiers in the Beijing camp felt their scalps tingle and replied respectfully.
Zhu Cihong asked Li Tingbiao to lead Jinyiwei to copy the Chengguo Mansion, and gave Li Tingbiao a hinting little look.
