The sky was gradually dawning, and the pale blue sky was studded with a few remnant stars, and the earth was hazy, like a light veil shrouded in silver-gray. The eastern horizon was already slightly exposed, and a hint of red seemed to be soaked in blood.

A milky white mist spread, enveloping the inside and outside of Tongzhou City. A mess outside the city of Tongzhou!

The cold wind blew away the smell of blood and gunsmoke, but it could not take away the scars outside Tongzhou after the war. Of course, it can't take away the smell of meat all over the city.

The horses that were killed or wounded are now the food of the southward migration team.

Up to the officials and dignitaries, down to the lowest level of small soldiers and slaves, all of them eat with bright mouths.

Hanlin editor Ning Xun rode on horseback on the street of Nanguan outside Tongzhou City, where they set a fire when the Shun army first came to the city, but it didn't burn. In the Second World War, it was all outside Nanguan. Most of the facades of the houses on both sides are still well preserved, and only a few houses have been turned into a pile of ruins. The scene after the fire was clearly visible, the smell of burning, and the white light smoke rising from the black ruins. It's like an ordinary misfire.

But after leaving Nanguan, I looked at the corpses lying on the ground outside......

Ning Xun shook the knife in his hand fiercely, his hand had held the pen for half his life, but now he had to hold the knife in his hand tightly. Helpless, in the current environment, he must protect his family, even if the emperor specially sent a team of pure troops to the Ning family.

But when the guns rang out last night, these pure soldiers were like frightened rabbits, and they didn't have the courage to do so.

"Da ......" The sound of horses' hooves came from the front, it was a group of Zheng cavalry, and there was still some distance away, and a fierce aura rushed straight in. Looking at their blood-stained robes, you know what they're doing.

"Look at the short guns hanging from those people's waists, ......"

"What a short gun, that's a handcuff. I don't know. Grandpa Wang has one there, and the Francis is a tribute. ”

The voice of the Jing Army behind him sounded, and Ning Xun also looked at the Zheng Army cavalry on the side, and saw that the two people led by him had indeed collapsed a much shorter firearm on their waists.

This is the handcuff? It's the first time he's seen him.

……

The silence after the war was empty. In the course of Ning Xun's life for more than 30 years, he heard the sound of guns so cordially for the first time last night, and felt the fear of death for the first time. The corpses in front of him gave him the most essential understanding of the cruelty of war.

Last night, when the gunfire stopped, his spirit suddenly relaxed, and his brain went blank for a while!

It's like fighting a hard-fought war, and it's natural to be happy, but the first thing that comes to mind must be happy. I'm glad that I'm still alive.

"Squeak, squeak......" The carriage pulling the family behind him made a soft sound.

The team went straight to Zhangjiawan along the official road, and the carriage was moving very slowly, because Ning Xun and his daughter were frightened last night, and the carriage naturally had to go slower.

The horizontal thief army has been defeated, and the Li thief has sent soldiers and horses again, and it is always safe in the morning.

"Papapa......" A few crisp gunshots suddenly reached Ning Xun's ears, and a girl's exclamation sounded in the carriage behind him.

Ning Xun was excited, and immediately looked up, and saw that a group of people were gathering not far away, and he didn't know what he was doing. And looking at the banner, it is clear that it is Zheng Zhilong's soldiers and horses!

"Madam,......" Ning Xun exclaimed worriedly. The daughter in the carriage is not an ordinary person, this is the future crown princess. It's just that because Li Zicheng's soldiers came too quickly, the court postponed the marriage, but in fact, it was only a matter of getting married. If according to the original regulations, without Li Zicheng's experience, then the Ning daughter is preparing to marry at home at this moment.

"Don't worry, sir, I'm just a little frightened." Before Mrs. Ning finished speaking, there was another burst of gunshots, and the call of "good daughter, good daughter" immediately sounded in the carriage.

Ning Xun turned his head to look at the Zheng Jun, his face full of anger. "I'm going to see who's shooting for fun?"

"Drive, drive......"

Turning the horse's head, Ning Xun ran there. But before he could reach the place, a gust of wind blew, and a fresh smell of blood came into his nose.

Annanbo, Zheng Zhilong? A figure in Zheng Jun's crowd flashed, and it was Zheng Zhilong!

The anger on Ning Xun's face quickly dissipated.

"Xiaguan Ningxun has seen An Nanbo."

Zheng Zhilong rode on horseback, beside him two piles of armor, which still had blood on them, apparently peeled from the corpses of the dead Shun army, and kneeling at his feet about thirty captives.

There were still corpses ten feet away, and blood was flowing from the bloody holes from the guns.

The Shun army captured in the battle was not only these individuals in front of them, the rest of the people were all surrendered as soon as they were frightened, and the rest were all hard stubble.

When Ning Xun arrived, Zheng Zhilong was giving them the final enlightenment, surrender or not? If you don't surrender, you'll be killed. The previous ones are all examples.

Now is a very moment, the more people Zheng Zhiguan and Shi Lang have made, most of them are ordinary people, and the danger is extremely low, but these guys in front of them are more dangerous, and Zheng Zhilong is not in the mood to play benevolence with them.

"Ning Hanlin?" Zheng Zhilong looked at Ning Xun a little confused.

This person has been with him a few times, but he has no connection. Not only Ning Xun, but also the prince behind him, Zheng Zhilong has always stayed away. Don't you see that Zheng Sen has always been in front of the palace, but he doesn't look at the prince.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong didn't want to have more accidents and send the slightest signal to Emperor Chongzhen that he could misunderstand.

"Xia Guan came to see his uncle this time to ask for a few handguns. Last night, the guns roared, which made the subordinates full of panic, and even the villain was flustered. Sizhi is still thousands of miles away from the south, and it is difficult to ensure that there will be no accidents on the way, so I came to ask my uncle to give me a few handcuffs for self-defense and courage. Ning Xun said seriously.

Zheng Zhilong's eyes blinked, just for this? Can you also bother the old father-in-law of this prince to come to visit in person?

His eyes passed through behind Ning Xun and saw a group of people and horses stopped not far away, a group of people in pure military uniforms clustered around a carriage and stopped on the road.

Oh, so it's a drop-by.

Although the daughter of the Naning family has not yet ceased to be married to Zhu Cihong, the two have already made a marriage. Zhu Cihong and his father did not rush to the street together, and it can be said that the Ning daughter not far away is the crown princess.

This only looks at the fact that Emperor Chongzhen led people to 'move south', and he did not pull down the Ning family. Ning's family is on the key protection list. Emperor Chongzhen also specially sent a team of pure troops to protect them.

Compared with the concubine Zhou Shixian's family he selected for his daughter, the treatment of the Ning family is much higher.

"Haha, such a trivial matter is still bothering you to go in person, Hanlin is more polite." Zheng Zhilong dismounted and took Ning Xun's hand and went the same way, while swinging his other hand behind his back.

The rest of the people present naturally knew what to do.

Sending Ning Xun away, Zheng Zhilong felt weird no matter how he thought about it. The Ning clan is protected by the Pure Army, and if they are still afraid, too many people in Tongzhou City will feel frightened.

Did this man really ask for a few handcuffs when he stopped by?

Zheng Zhilong muttered in his heart, and he couldn't think of a reason in his head.

"Dashuai, maybe Ning Hanlin is really asking for a few handguns, you see he has a knife in his hand. It's not that I'm scared to the extreme, how can these Wenqu stars hold the knife with their hands holding the pen? Chen Ding's mind turned around a few times, and he couldn't think of a reason, so he could only say this.

"I hope so." Zheng Zhilong was a little irritable, and then waved his hand indifferently. What's wrong with him, in the future, he Zheng Zhilong doesn't want to bow down to Emperor Chongzhen, no matter what Ning Xun's calculations are.

A wonderful misunderstanding was born.

Emperor Chongzhen was not at all frightened by the corpses that fell outside Tongzhou City, at this moment he stepped on the banner of the Great Shun Army, and looked at the heads of several Shun Army officers in his eyes, and his heart was only excited.

"Rebels and thieves, kill well, kill well!"

If it weren't for the decency, Emperor Chongzhen would have kicked the head in front of him away.

Since Ming Chengzu Dingbei Capital, more than 200 years have passed, the great country, the foundation of the ancestors, have been lost from his hands, and Emperor Chongzhen really hates Li Zicheng.

"Take all these to me and burn them, I can't crush the bones of the Li thief to ashes, so I will crush the bones of the thieves under his command first."

Saying that, he was especially unrelieved of his hatred, and only twisted the word 'Li' in the banner fiercely with his feet.

Xiao Maozi didn't dare to disturb Emperor Chongzhen's venting at this time, and looked at Wang Chengen for help, who also had anxiety on his face, because the time had come, and the emperor was going south.

"Hooray, hooray......"

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were red, and he looked at Wang Chengen at a glance, and the frightened latter knelt on the ground. "Say!"

"Hooray, it's time to get going."

You can't slow down your journey.

Li Thief's horse army killed Tongzhou last night, and the large army is afraid that it has been forced to Yanjing City at this moment. If you don't leave, do you have to wait for Thief Li to send more horse troops?

……

The west of the capital is a gate.

Li Zicheng, who had one eye, looked up at the majestic Beijing Division, such a majestic city, if there were 100,000 defenders and a famous general in charge, then he could only sigh with a million soldiers.

But now, the defenders opened the door to welcome themselves into the city, this is the capital division.

After entering the capital, even if Emperor Chongzhen ran away, the Li family's country was stable. At worst, it's a Northern and Southern Dynasties!

That's what Li Zicheng thinks in his heart. Therefore, although he was a little annoyed by the defeat of Luo Hu and Li Laiheng, it did not make him really thunderous.

After being defeated for a while, it is a pity to lose some of the horse army, but this loss is a drop in the bucket for today's Da Shunlai. But it can also be seen from here that Zheng Zhilong is not an easy person. If you want to win with a small number of elites, I'm afraid it won't be easy......

"Bai Guangen, Ma Ke, Tang Tong......" Li Zicheng shouted.

"The minister is here." The three generals heard the call and quickly came to the front of the king.

Chongzhen is still in Tongzhou, protected by Zheng Zhilong. You are also a veteran of the famous Central Plains, and your reputation in the past was not weaker than Zheng Zhilong, but now you dare to go to the pursuit, defeat Zheng Zhilong, and capture Chongzhen Yu to the capital? Although he knew that many dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital had run away, Li Zicheng still felt that the opportunity to enter the capital was very precious and glorious.

He didn't want his ladder to lose this glory, but Bai Guangen, Ma Ke, and Tang Tong didn't count.

"I am willing to do the work of dogs and horses."
