Chapter 462: Blessing Feast? (Continued)
In the midst of the sound of artillery, Wu Ruyi's personal soldiers looked at the team that rushed to the execution ground with them with envy and jealousy.
Eight hundred monks, all wearing armor, not to mention, half of the cavalry and half of the infantry, the cavalry's war horses are all fed fat and strong mouth Mongolian horses, the riders on the horses wear long knives around their waists, hold up the mourning guns in their hands, and carry firecrackers behind their backs, and hang ochre-red sub-medicine boxes obliquely on their chests, all of them wear eight-petal hats and iron-tipped helmets on their heads, and have two layers of armor on their bodies: the outer is the southern middle cuirass, and the inside is a brand new cotton armor.
In addition to not having three weapons like the cavalry, the equipment of the infantry is only one of the swords, guns and firearms, and the armor on the body is the same, and there are several large Buddha machines in the team. If it weren't for the banners and the bald heads under the helmets of the soldiers, this team would be no less than the family team of any commander of the Nine Frontiers Military Town, and even stronger.
To say that Wu Ruyi's personal soldiers were also selected from the elite of the old battalion, and because he was in charge of the distribution of money, food, armor and canes in the camp, his personal soldiers were naturally broad-minded and luxuriously equipped, but compared to these monks who were almost armed to the teeth, (huh?) Something seems to be wrong again. But it's dwarfed.
Since arriving at Funiu Mountain, a large number of poles, bandits, swordsmen, horse bandits, and hungry people have come to vote, and the team that broke into the camp has expanded very quickly.
In order to be able to explain the past in front of the generals who blew their beards and glared at their troops and asked their troops to change into good Nanban equipment, Li Zicheng agreed. Wu Ruyi took a compromise solution, which was to sprinkle pepper noodles. He sent a complete set of infantry or cavalry equipment from Nanzhong, armor, swords, guns, guns, shoes and socks are not lacking, but you have to equip at least three people, so that although the elite of each battalion has the equipment of Nanban, it is often lacking in this and that, and those who can really use a full set of armor, knives and guns can only be the generals' personal soldiers and the elite of the old battalion.
That's it. These people may not be able to possess firearms.
And so it goes. These elite soldiers who broke into the camp, looking at the group of monks and soldiers marching with them, how could they not be greedy? If it weren't for the military order, I was afraid that the soldiers who broke into the camp along the way would flock up. The armor, swords, and guns of this group of monks were all confiscated. Hold it in your hand right away!
"Master Abbot, please rest assured. Although King Fu will definitely die today, King Chuang has already had a military order, and after beheading, the head is hung on the table in front of the palace gate. Parade for three days. Today, the great monk can collect his body first, and then take away the head after three days. The king strictly ordered that he should not be damaged or humiliated. ”
"Amitabha, break through the king's benevolence and righteousness!"
Monk Daoji chanted the Buddha's name in his mouth and bowed deeply to Wu Ruyi with his hands folded. His eyes were full of gratitude and looked at Monk Yongxin.
"Master Yongxin, he can come to participate in the righteous act in the starry night for hundreds of miles, and King Chuang must be happy to know it."
This time, in order to keep the temple property and the Zen forest, in addition to quietly sending more than 3,000 stones of grain and hundreds of stones of oil and salt to the camp that came to besiege the city, Yongxin also quietly sent people to send back the storage fees of the Zenlin temple paid to him by Wu Ruyi, Zhang Nai, and others when they purchased weapons and gunpowder in Kaifeng, a total of 1,000 pairs of armor, 2,000 knives and guns, and 50 barrels of gunpowder.
"Break into the camp to hang the people and kill the crime, rescue the people of the Central Plains in the fire and water, the temple is inexplicable, there is no way to repay, some items, please break into the king to reward." This move was greatly appreciated by Li Zicheng.
If there is no such relationship, Monk Yongxin dares to intercede with Li Zicheng as King Fu and ask Li Zicheng to allow Monk Daoji to collect his body?
Even so, Monk Yongxin is still ready to make another heavy bet.
He has already seen clearly, a city like Luoyang can't be saved, and Kaifeng and other places are also in danger, so if you don't burn the pot on Li Zicheng's side at this time, when will you stay?
In the sound of cannons, the execution ground once again erupted into a tsunami-like shout, but it was already the Fu Wang Wuhua tied up, pulled his loose hair to the top of his head, planted the death flag, and pushed it to the front of the prison beheading platform, the third cannon sounded, the knife and axe hand standing on the left side of the prisoner lifted the prisoner's hair bun with his left hand, and shouted at the same time: "Kneel well!" "It was too late, it was too fast, and people only saw a flash of white light in the sun, and dozens of heads flew out in mid-air in unison, and streams of blood burst out three feet away.
The knife and axe hand who was in charge of the execution took two steps forward, bent down and lifted the head of King Laifu, walked to the prison beheading platform, raised the head of Zhu Changxun in his hand, and asked Li Zicheng and others to inspect it. This is considered to have completed the process of cutting off the report. In accordance with Li Zicheng's previous military order, this head will be brought into the city and hung on the Chinese table in front of the palace gate, that is, the ancients called "the head of the owl to show the public". (Hang Hua Watch?) The author seems to have remembered something not so good again. )
The infantrymen who were guarding and maintaining order in the middle of the execution ground were withdrawn to the prison beheading platform, and the body of King Fu was placed on a platform made of a wooden frame more than one person high that had been prepared in advance, so that Luoyang could listen to and see King Fu's body. The people in front of them rushed up and immediately stripped King Fu of his clothes and trousers. According to folk superstition, in addition to human blood steamed buns can cure diseases, the hair, flesh and internal organs of these phoenix sons and dragon grandchildren are a thousand years of difficult to find cure.
"Bang bang bang!"
Hundreds of monks and soldiers who came with Daoji Monk and Yongxin Monk fired a salvo into the sky, one by one like the angry King Kong in the temple.
"King Chuang is here, you dare to be so presumptuous!"
The great monk Yongxin had a loyal and courageous expression, which was a few points stronger than Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi and others who followed Li Zicheng to fight in the north and south, not to mention Song Xiance, Li Yan brothers and others who had recently joined the service.
Wu Ruyi had already stepped forward to report to Li Zicheng and introduced him to the great monk Yongxin. The Daoji monk on the side was under the escort of the soldiers who broke into the camp, and stepped forward with Li Zicheng's arrow in his hand to bury the body of King Fu and transport it back to Cheng'en Temple for parking. Prepare to be buried with the head in a few days.
In the winter of the thirteenth year, Li Zicheng fell into Yongning and Yiyang. In the first month of next year, Wang Yinchang, who participated in politics, was guarded, and Wang Shaoyu, the chief military officer, and Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai, the deputy generals, each led troops. Chang Xun summoned the three generals to enter and gave a banquet and gifts. After a few days, the thieves came and attacked the city. Chang Xun recruited warriors with thousands of gold, came out, and entered the thief camp with a spear. The thief was a little bit. Midnight. Shao Yu's pro-army laughed at the thieves from the city, waved a knife to kill the defenders, burned the city tower, and opened the north gate to accept thieves. Chang Xun out of the city. Hidden Ying'en Temple. Following. Thieves cling to it. He was killed. The two flattered corpses cried, and the thieves swept them away. Cheng Feng said: "The king died and did not want to live, so he begged for a coffin to collect the king's bones." Fans have nothing to hate. "The thief promised it. The coffin was an inch, and the car was broken, and the two of them hanged themselves next to them. The princess Zou and the prince went to Huaiqing by Song. The palace of the thief fire king, three days endlessly. After hearing about the incident, the emperor mourned and dropped out of the dynasty for three days, so that Henan Yousi changed the funeral.
(This is a record in the history of the Ming Dynasty about Li Zicheng after breaking Luoyang, the so-called Fulu banquet is pure nonsense, according to the description of a certain horse general's work, Li Zicheng's army, 600,000 cavalry, 400,000 infantry, every day with human blood to drink horses.) How much blood is in an adult's body? The total amount of blood in a normal human body accounts for about 6 to 8 percent of the body's weight, that is, a person weighing 60 kilograms has 3600 to 4800 ml of blood in his body. And how much drinking water does a horse have in a day? At least thirty liters! Oh, my God! This Nima had to slaughter the entire earth at that time, and it was not enough to drink horses! )
The people of Luoyang, who came to watch the killing of Shangshu and the King of Fu, bustled and scattered everywhere, and people turned their heads to look at this majestic scene, feeling excited and full of emotion. There was an old man with a white beard who grew in a small sigh and said:
"Alas, this killing field, since ancient times, only killed the common people, I don't know how many lives have been killed, I have never even killed an official, but today I am going to kill the king. Even King Fu can be killed, I didn't even dare to think about it before! ”
A middle-aged man with sideburns and beard next to him snorted with his nostrils, and then said: "What the fuck are the golden skills and jade leaves, dragon sons and dragon grandsons, crowned kings and marquises, officials and eunuchs, and are powerful and blessed on weekdays, showing off their might, riding on the heads of the common people to spend the sun and the moon, as long as they commit the crime in the hands of the king, it is not worth a penny." In Yongning, haven't you already killed King Wan'an? Don't look at King Fu as the 'present' uncle, a knife goes down, with a click, the same head falls to the ground, blood is splashed with yellow sand, the corpse is thrown to the dog to eat, and there is a hammer of 'Fu Da Da Fu Da Da Fu Da Da Fu ”
Over there, Daoji and the two eunuchs in the palace cried and cried and buried the body of King Fu without mentioning it, but here Li Zicheng had a very happy conversation with Monk Yongxin.
"The mining soldiers of Funiu Mountain, the monk soldiers of Dengfeng, the gourd soldiers of Song County, the three famous soldiers of western Henan, now I have all completed the camp!"
As soon as Monk Yongxin came up, he presented these 800 monks and soldiers with outstanding weapons and martial arts, and invited Li Zicheng to smile together with those big Buddha machines.
For such a force that is armed to the teeth and proficient in martial arts, naturally Li Zicheng has no reason to refuse, and at the moment, in addition to praising the Yongxin monk, he had to give him a battalion number of the Dengfeng camp and allow him to operate in the Dengfeng area. Tens of thousands of people gathered in the Dengfeng area to break through the local bandit Li Jiyu in Dengfeng County to fight to ensure the safety of one side.
(A classmate from Lanxiang Technical School was so angry that he threw a bunch of bricks with a forklift, and he was almost able to build a house for the author.) "You've made up so much nonsense, I've been putting up with it! What you made up today is outrageous! actually let the monk have the name and position of Li Zicheng's army, and let him operate in that area, is this a monk or a bandit?! ”)
("Amitabha! Sin! Sin! There is a Tao that emptiness is color, color is emptiness, bandits are monks, and monks are bandits. You must know that hundreds of years later, everyone who brought the catastrophe of destruction to the great Zen forest in Dengfeng, everyone threw the black pot to the famous renegade general Shi Yousan, but Shi Yousan also had a stomach of grievances! At that time, the monks in the temple were no longer monks, when have you ever seen a monk with a gun and a cannon? It seems that the monks in this temple should rely on a wooden stick to beat the world, and there are also the so-called seventy-two stunts, right? Even if your stick method is claimed to be a three-point stick method and a seven-point marksmanship, there is still a layer of stick skin? What kind of hero is playing with guns? However, the monks in this temple not only play with guns and cannons, but the host at the head actually has the position of head of the regiment, using the temple as a base to fight against Shi Yousan, so that Shi Rebellion will not burn your temple and be sorry for you! It seems that when the principal quelled the rebellion of the merchant group, he also burned half of Guangzhou's business district, right? Not to mention this stone defection who has always had a bad reputation, even the boasted sky has few Bartons who are hard to find on the earth. Isn't it also that I don't know how many monasteries on the Italian peninsula have been destroyed? ”)
"The little monk came in a hurry, coupled with the poverty of our temple, in a hurry, I had to bring some guards, sprinkle and sweep the courtyard, carry water and chop firewood, and the rough monks came to provide for the king to drive, if it takes a little time, the little monk will lead more masters to come to help the righteous army!"
At the welcome reception banquet held for Monk Yongxin, Liu Jianyi, Luo Tai and others, everyone talked about martial arts, and none of the people present except for Song Xiance and Li Yan brothers were not rolled out in the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses. Even the Li Yan brothers. He is also a person who has always liked to talk about soldiers and swords. Now that I have met the abbot of the Zen forest, who is known as the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism and the authentic martial arts, I can't help but ask for advice and talk about it.
Seeing that someone asked, the monk Yongxin had to brag a few words first. The elite monks and soldiers who were carefully selected and equipped were said to be rough envoys who could only carry water and chop wood. In order to brag about their prowess to create the illusion of smoke.
While talking. The leader of Langzhong who is responsible for the treatment of wounded soldiers in the camp. Shang Jiong Shang Ziming, a doctor with the reputation of "old immortals" in the army, was ordered to go to the palace of King Fu to participate in this banquet after inspecting the wounded soldiers. Greet him and ask him about the situation.
"In the attack on Luoyang, our brothers lost a hundred and thirty-two men killed and four hundred and sixty-seven wounded. If they are all such casualties, I am afraid that King Chuang will sweep away the entire Henan Eight Mansions, and I, Langzhong, will have nothing to do. After greeting everyone, the doctor explained the casualties of the Battle of Luoyang to everyone present, and also showed off his strength to a few newcomers by the way. Of course, this does not include the casualties of the local rebels in Henan, Yidougu and Clay Pot.
Sure enough, after hearing the doctor's words, Yongxin, Luo Tai, Liu Jianyi and others present couldn't help but be half afraid and half happy. What I'm afraid of is that attacking a city like Luoyang only killed and injured more than 600 people, how strong should this camp be now? Rejoice, with such an army, one's future is guaranteed!
Having made up his mind, Monk Yongxin shook a bald head with a new oily glossy beeswax, and talked with the doctor with a smile on his face, and had to send a few prescriptions handed down by the monks in his temple to treat bruises and knife and gun trauma to the doctor, (Oh, I don't know if there is a big pill?) He sat down beside the doctor and drank and talked.
The conversation quickly shifted to what to do with such a huge fortune seized in Luoyang.
In fact, everyone has a general direction in their hearts, but they just have to wait for Li Zicheng to make a decision. Needless to say, those food, cloth, mules and horses, armor, knives and guns and other things were used to provide relief to the victims in addition to feeding the whole army. Gold, silver, and jewelry are also good things, although they are said to be hungry and cold, but they can be exchanged for food and clothing, and they are also excellent things.
The trouble is those antiques, jade, books, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, furniture and other things.
"King Chuang, according to my old Hao's intentions, let's simply strike while the iron is hot, and take advantage of the morale of the brothers in Luoyang who have just been defeated, sweep eastward and take down the Tokyo Bianliang City, just like the words in the book, kill to Tokyo and take the bird position."
Although Hao Shaoqi's words were vulgar, they were exactly the voice of the generals who broke into the camp, in addition to being optimistic about the wealth in Kaifeng City and the momentum of killing two princes in a row, Li Zicheng and others saw the location of Kaifeng.
A Yellow River, hanging over Kaifeng's head, although it is dangerous, but also brought endless wealth to Kaifeng.
This point, Li Yan, Song Xiance and others, who are familiar with the geography and folklore of Henan, have pointed out more than once when they introduced the importance of Kaifeng to Li Zicheng. Occupy Kaifeng, the biggest gain is not in the jade silk of the children in the city, but in the control of the Yellow River, and then the canal can be cut off, and Chongzhen's grain bag will be leaked to him.
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Naizi, you two have worked hard, tonight you will lead the cavalry to set off, by the way, take a hundred new monks and soldiers, go to Kaifeng, one to contact Neiying, and the other to talk to our friends over there, we have money and hard goods in the camp now, let them hurry up and prepare the goods, I'm afraid that he has few things, don't worry that we don't have money for him!"
Seeing that Li Zicheng was preparing to capture Kaifeng, Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai immediately got up and volunteered, preparing to lead their headquarters to Kaifeng to contact the officers and soldiers in the city to sacrifice the city. Yongxin, who was discussing with the doctor Shang Jiong, the use of various medicinal materials in the treatment of traumatic injuries, was not so interested in the act of killing such as attacking the seal, but he was concerned about the many jewelry, calligraphy, paintings, antiquities, utensils, porcelain and other hard goods.
It seems that you have to show your hand again, otherwise, such a big injection of wealth and incense poor monks can't get their hands on it at all, wouldn't it be a pity?
However, in his eagerness, he couldn't think of anything that could show his skills in front of everyone, except that he could tell Li Zicheng that he could persuade the monks of Daxiangguo Temple, Tieta Temple and other places to help him dedicate the city? This is tantamount to a conflict with the ideas of Liu Jianyi and others, which not only offends people, but also does not show the ability of the Buddha, how should this be good?
At this moment, Shang Jiong, a doctor who was discussing the art of saving lives and helping the wounded, said a word, like a gust of wind, blowing away the fog in Yongxin's mind.
"Senior brother, is the keel from this Zhangde Mansion really so good at stopping bleeding?" (To be continued......)
