Historian Zhang Hongfa said that hairstyles and clothing can most influence and change a person's sense of self-identity. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In real history, after shaving his hair and changing clothes, Wu Sangui's mentality has completely changed, and he has consciously regarded himself as a member of the Qing army.

Now, Liu Zeqing, who has completed shaving his hair, feels the same way in his heart.

He looked at the familiar and unfamiliar in the bronze mirror for a long time, and smiled bitterly in his heart.

Alas, since you have embarked on this road of selling yourself, there is no turning back.

The Han people learned Hu'er language, so they scolded the Han people to the city.

Maybe it's yourself.

After being silent for a long time, Liu Zeqing squeezed out a smile and said to the Han people: "Since Liu has shaved his hair, then next, please ask your envoy to take the family away and take it as a hostage for the time being." ”

The Han people sneered, confessed, and took Liu Zeqing's children and a pair of wives and concubines away.

In a low sobbing, Liu Zeqing watched them leave, and only when his children, wives and concubines had completely disappeared did he cover his face and cry loudly.

Next to him, Li Huajing and Zheng Longfang stood like puppets.

After a long time, Liu Zeqing finally stopped crying, he raised his head, his face was already full of hideousness: "And when the time comes, our army will open four doors and enlarge the entry of the Qing official army. ”

Seeing the hideous appearance of Liu Zeqing, who had shaved his hair, Zheng Longfang was beaten all over his body, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, I am following the order." ”

But what Liu Zeqing would never have thought of was that when he began to nervously dispatch his subordinates and prepare for the internal affairs, the Jinan Mansion was in charge of the inspection envoy, Song Xuezhu of the Imperial History, Zhang Bingwen, the political envoy Zhang Bingwen, Zheng Qian, the prefect of Jibei, Gou Haoshan and others, were also urgently gathering people to discuss.

"Song Xun, I dare to predict that the reason why Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Shandong, forcibly separated us and others, and did not urgently arrange the matter of defending the city, this person definitely has ulterior motives. It is very likely that we will secretly surrender to the captives, and we must not be unguarded! Zhang Bingwen, the political envoy, said worriedly.

"Zhang Buzheng is right, now that the army is pressing, Liu Zeqing is deliberately unguarded and insensitive, which can be described as extremely ill-intentioned, and we really have to make plans in advance." Soldier Dao Zheng Qian hurriedly added on the side.

"Song Xun, in my opinion, the current situation is difficult, Liu Zeqing is ambiguous, it is really difficult to rely on, if we organize the militia in the city by ourselves, first guard this official mansion, treasury and other important places. Even if you can keep it for a while, you can do your best for the country. Jinan prefect Gou Haoshan said with a solemn face.

After listening to everyone's suggestions, Song Xuezhu stroked his long beard and finally nodded heavily.

"What you said is that Liu Zeqing's deeds are suspicious, and it is really difficult to rely on, and we, as ministers of the Ming Dynasty, should serve the country loyally. Just like the good opinion, the militia in the city was withdrawn to the government treasury, and once there was a change, they would defend it desperately. β€œ

Everyone agreed, and Song Xuezhu said: "With these hundreds of militiamen, the time they can resist is limited. It is necessary to urgently mobilize the young and strong people to come to the Auxiliary Defense Office and the Treasury to do so. β€œ

"Yes, yes, no matter how much can be mobilized, one more person will have more strength, then this mobilization matter will be carried out by Zai Xia and Gou Zhifu." Political envoy Zhang Bingwen nodded in agreement.

"Well, Zhang Buzheng and Gou Zhifu will go to mobilize the young and strong, and Ben and Zheng Bingbei will lead the militia in the city to garrison the government and the important land of money and grain. Without further ado, we immediately split up. Song Xuezhu made a decision immediately.

On this bleak night without moon and stars, time passed by minute by minute. Liu Zeqing and others were secretly preparing for the surrender of Kaecheng, while Song Xuezhu and others were nervously arranging the militia and the 300 or so young men who had been temporarily summoned to guard the official palace and the important land of money and grain.

In the city of Jinan, the undercurrent is surging, and the atmosphere is extremely depressing.

It's finally time.

At this time, the Qing army outside the city, as if receiving a unified order, raised countless torches, and at a glance, it was like a starry star, surrounding the entire Jinan City.

Seeing that the Qing army had moved, Liu Zeqing, who had been standing on the tower of the West Gate City, had a cold smile flashing on his face.

He nodded to Zheng Longfang next to him, and Zheng Longfang understood, and immediately issued an order to open the four gates to welcome the Qing army into the city.

The poignant sound of the swan horn sounded on the entire Jinan city wall, and with the continuous sound of the roar, the suspension bridges of the four gates of Jinan were all lowered, and the city gates were completely opened.

Outside the city, Yue Zhen saw the suspension bridge of Jinan City put down from a distance, and the joy on his face was simply overflowing.

"Quickly pass on the order of the general, and the troops from all over the city will join forces to enter the city, and first attack the official yamen and the money and grain warehouses and other important places, and wait for these important places to be obtained. The whole army can plunder for three days, and the children of wealth and goods can take it! ”

"Huh!"

In the deep night, countless Qing troops holding torches high, like a black frenzy surging from all sides, quickly rushed towards the city of Jinan, as if they could swallow this thousand-year-old city in one fell swoop.

At this time, Song Xuezhu and others, who led a group of militia and young men to guard the government and the money and grain warehouse, were all pale and full of horror.

Liu Zeqing, who entered this dog, really rebelled against the imperial court and really surrendered to the Qing army! Although he has already done a countermeasure, but now when he sees Liu Zeqing opening his four doors to welcome the Qing army, Song Xuezhu and others are still extremely shocked and angry.

"Everyone, the dog thief Liu Zeqing has betrayed the Ming Dynasty and turned the tiger into a tiger, which is really a crime that cannot be punished! We must now defend this government and the land of money and food. We are all Ming courtiers, here today, for the Ming Dynasty, for the emperor's loyalty! ”

Song Xuezhu's eyes were filled with tears, and he shouted out these words loudly.

"Song Xun pressed, Prime Minister Wen of the Great Song Dynasty said, who has not died in life since ancient times, and left Dan to take care of his sweat! As a minister, we should die for the country and the emperor, and if we can die here today, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death for the ages. Zhang Bingwen laughed miserably.

Zheng Qian, the military commander, and the prefect of Jinan, Gou Haoshan, also expressed their positions loudly and passionately.

Seeing that these high-ranking officials, who were rarely seen in the past, were willing to fight to the death here to serve the country, a group of militiamen and young people were also greatly infected, and their morale suddenly increased greatly, and they all expressed their intention to do their best to kill the enemy and be loyal to the country.

Soon, there was the sound of hurried footsteps and horses' hooves.

The soldiers who came were the rebel Zheng Longfang, who brought 1,500 soldiers and horses to urgently seize the government and the important land of money and grain.

It turned out that since the city gate was opened, Liu Zeqing's troops were divided into three parts, one of 1,500 people, led by Zheng Longfang to attack the government and the money and grain warehouse, and the other 1,000 soldiers and horses, led by Liu Zeqing himself, to attack the Dewang Mansion in Jinan City, and another 500 people, led by Li Huajing, continued to stay on the city wall and guide the Qing army into the city.

Zheng Longfang's rebels, everyone had a conspicuous white cloth tied to their arms, and when he saw that these government yamen and money and grain were only garrisoned by militia and the young men of the temporary organization, he couldn't help but have a smug smile on his face.

"Song Xun, Zheng Bingbei, I will read on the sake of everyone who has served together, and give you a way to live. As long as you lay down your arms and no longer resist in vain, you will be able to save your lives without worry, and you can ask the general of the Qing army for credit for you. Zheng Longfang looked around at everyone and said proudly.

"Phew! Our army is all loyal and righteous, how can we be bewitched by you, a thief! You betray your father and act as a servant for the tiger, what kind of face do you have to persuade us to surrender! Song Xuezhu hated and scolded: "You thief, don't talk nonsense, if you have the ability, you will come to fight with our army, and if you want to take this official mansion and the land of money and food, you will step over the corpses of us and others!" ”

Zheng Longfang was furious and shouted: "Wow, there is a way in the sky that you don't go, and you come here if there is no way to enter the ground!" That would have been done for you! Brothers, give Lao Tzu, cut down these bastards, occupy this official mansion and money and grain, and make the first contribution to serving the Qing Dynasty! ”

Listening to Zheng Longfang's words, a group of rebels suddenly came to their senses, they roared, strode forward, and killed the militia and Qingzhuang led by Song Xuezhu and others.

When Zheng Longfang's troops were fighting hard with Song Xuezhu and others, Liu Zeqing with a thousand soldiers and horses quickly rushed to the gate of King De's Mansion and immediately surrounded the entire King of De's Mansion.

At this time, the door of the Dewang Mansion was closed, and there was silence all around. But on the four walls of the house, there are hundreds of servants, armed with weapons, standing guard on the palace wall, and at the front and back gates, there are more honor guards in cotton armor stationed, they are looking at Liu Zeqing's department roaring around, and the expressions on everyone's faces are very solemn and uneasy.

Liu Zeqing paced back and forth a few steps outside the main gate of the Dewang Mansion, and wanted to let someone smash the gate open, but at this time, he suddenly heard a sharp voice above the city tower: "Liu Zeqing, you dog thief, you dare to lead troops to trespass into the land of the palace, aren't you afraid of exterminating the nine clans?!" ”

Liu Zeqing looked up and saw that the person who shouted was the eldest son of Zhu Youshu, the king of Germany, Zhu Ciying, the king of the county, and couldn't help sneering: "Zhu Ciying, Lao Tzu is now a member of the Qing Dynasty's official army, and he is specially ordered by the general to seize your Dewang Mansion. ”

"Fart! You dog thief, traitor to glory, betray me, and dare to say such rampant and rebellious words! Do you want to take this De Palace, okay, just attack it! Zhu Ciying scolded sharply.

Liu Zeqing smiled coldly and whispered to a family member next to him.

The man nodded, and immediately gave a loud order, so that the archers of the whole army gathered here and fired intensively at the top of the palace wall.

Liu Zeqing knew that the wall of the Nade Palace's mansion was limited in height, the pheasant moat was short, and the domestic servants and honor guards on it were powerless to block their own salvo attacks. Perhaps, after a volley, the guards will disperse with a bang.

"Ready!"

"Put!"

"Whoosh 。。。。。。"

In the darkness of the night, dense arrows shot like locusts at the tower. The guards and servants stationed at the walls of the mansion had little combat experience, and because of the darkness of the night, they couldn't see where the arrows were coming from. For a while, they were hit by arrows one after another, and above the gatehouse, there was a miserable scream, and many people howled loudly, and immediately fled in panic.

Zhu Ciying, the king of the county, saw that his own soldiers were shot by a random arrow and fled, and he couldn't help but be furious.

"Don't run! To keep this place for this king, you must 。。。。。。 β€œ

Before he finished speaking, a sharp arrow shot out, with a soft pop, hit Zhu Ciying's neck, and the arrow pierced out from the other side of his neck, stopping him from saying this.

The blood bubbles in Zhu Ciying's mouth surged, and she fell down from the four- or five-meter-high mansion wall, slammed to the ground, and twitched, and then didn't move.

Seeing that the county king Zhu Ciying was killed, the guards and servants stationed at the main gate suddenly had no desire to fight, and fled in all directions with wails.

Seeing that the defenders were scattered, Liu Zeqing's morale was suddenly boosted, they roared forward, slammed open the door of the mansion with a battering hammer, and rushed straight inside.

This Dewang Mansion, which has been quiet for hundreds of years, has finally arrived in the greatest disaster.

The buildings of the Dewang Mansion are mainly from south to north: "Carrier Palace" (11 rooms wide), "Qinyuan Palace" (9 rooms wide) and "Cunxin Palace" (9 rooms wide). There are two halls on the left and right sides of the "Carrier Palace", and one hundred and thirty-eight houses are built on both sides of the five halls. There is a wall built around it, and there is a carrier gate in front of it, and a "heart gate" is set up in the back, which is the main building of the Dewang Mansion. In addition, there are "front palace", "middle palace" and "back palace", each side is nine rooms wide, ninety-nine houses are built on both sides of the three palaces, and the outer wall and the front and rear palace gates are built to form an auxiliary palace community.

In the whole Dewang Mansion, many palaces are decorated with blue and green gold, blue daisy fine decoration, gold coated copper nails, arches and roofs, red silk clouds, Chinese painting cockpits, and the end is a luxurious style.

Especially at the back of the two sides of the nave, a huge garden was built, raising rare birds and beasts such as cranes, peacocks, and sika deer. It can be said that the ingenuity everywhere, every ingenuity, the indescribable carved beams and paintings, the endless magnificence!

It's just that after Liu Zeqing led the rebels to rush into the German Palace, this group of crazy and cruel beasts killed people whenever they met, robbed good things when they saw them, and raped and then killed women and maids when they saw them, venting the greed and ugliness of human nature to the fullest. The rampant shouts of the rebels, and the screams and wails of the women who were killed by ***, are densely mixed together, and the smell is shocking. This was originally a magnificent and fairyland, but it suddenly became a hell on earth.

The crazy and tyrannical rebels looted the Carrier Hall unhindered, and smashed the entire garden to pieces, killing countless rare birds and beasts alive.

When Liu Zeqing led the rebels to rush to the front of the Qinyuan Palace, an old figure stopped in front of him.

Under the reflection of the jumping torches, Liu Zeqing, who had been killed with blood all over his face, saw clearly that the person who stopped in front was Zhu Youshu, the king of Germany.

And standing next to him was his second son, Zhu Cixian, the general of Fengguo.

Wearing a double-horned dragon pattern black yarn folded scarf, dressed in five chapters of green clothes, two shoulders tattooed with gold dragons, tied with a large belt in the plain Zhuli, hanging a gold-patterned jade dragon-shaped Pei, under the red socks under the red socks Zhu Youshu, under the support of Zhu Cisheng, stood at the entrance of the Qinyuan Palace, trembling with anger.

"Liu Zeqing! You thief betrayed the Ming Dynasty and trespassed into the palace, and this king wants to 。。。。。。 you β€œ

Before Zhu Youshu finished speaking, Liu Zeqing had already roared and rushed up, and the blood-stained waist knife in his hand pierced Zhu Youshu's chest fiercely, blood spurted out wildly, and the sharp tip of the knife came straight out from behind him!

"Father。。。。。。

Supporting Zhu Youshu, who fell softly, Zhu Cixian, the general of Fengguo, looked extremely sad and indignant, he pointed at Liu Zeqing, and scolded sharply: "Liu thief, if you kill my father without permission, you will definitely die a good death。。。。。。 β€œ

Before Zhu Cixian could finish his words, Liu Zeqing roared, pulled out the bloody waist knife, and slashed at Zhu Cixian's neck.

"Poof!"

With a soft sound, Zhu Cixian's head, with a straight blood arrow, rose into the air, crossed an arc in the night sky, and rolled down into a dark corner.
