Chapter 233 [Fu Wang Jian Guo]
On the official road leading from Beizhili Suncheonfu to the Gyeonggi region, a wild goose called twice and flew quickly, and a rapid sound of horses' hooves began to be heard not far from the ground, speeding past with rolling fine sand.
In a blink of an eye, he came to a bend on the hillside, and the general flag of Mingning Yuanwei, who was wearing a big cap and planting a flag: Hu Qingshen, pulled the reins and paused, and looked at the section below the hillside and the situation in the distance.
Instead, he ran to Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of the Mingning Yuanwei who rode over behind, and reported, "Report, Lord Qiqi, our army has all passed the left guard of Tongzhou, which is less than 14 miles away from the outer city of Gyeonggi. ”
Knowing that they were about to enter the Gyeonggi area, the general soldiers of the Mingning Yuanwei were very happy, but they were happy, after all, they were about to go to the territory of the Liukou, and it was still necessary to be vigilant and arrange the formation.
In order to prevent fraud in the Gyeonggi area? Or is it an ambush and waiting for Guan Ning's iron cavalry to enter the pit? Therefore, the general army of the Mingning Yuanwei first sent the forward commander of the Mingning Yuanwei: Sun Jinsong, and led the people of the headquarters to rush to Gyeonggi to check the deployment of the Liukou?
As soon as there was news, they contacted by signal flares, and the rest of the Ningyuanwei Ming Army, Guanning Iron Cavalry, and Shanhaiwei Garrison were divided into two routes to Gyeonggi by the general army of Mingning Yuanwei, one was to go directly to Shuntianfu from the Shuntianfu Mansion, and the rest followed themselves from the outer city.
And don't worry that Jizhou will have the phenomenon of the Shun army taking the opportunity to surrender south? Because Jizhou has been occupied by the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Prince Shuo Zheng: Aixin Jueluo Zierharang, part of the Shun army surrendered to the Qing court, which can be regarded as relieving the worries of Guanning Iron Cavalry.
Now Wu Sangui is a great achievement as long as he wins Gyeonggi!
At this moment, in the rear artillery battalion that advanced to Xishan, the infantry of the Shun army were escorting the vassal king, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Prince Song, and the three princes, while still stepping up to catch up with the large army of the forward.
Because the Emperor Dashun moved westward planned to return to Xijing City in two ways, one was the forward Dashun Governor: Li Guo, and went to Shijingshan from the town border city to guard the Thousand Households, and then returned to Xijing by Shanxi Chengxuan, and the other way was ordered by Emperor Dashun to pass the Dashun Cihou: Liu Fangliang, from Shandong Chengxuan Zhengsi to the east, to go to the North Zhili Daimyo Mansion and Henan Chengxuan to enter Xijing to converge.
This is a symbol of the strength of the Dashun Emperor to preserve the territory of the Dashun Empire after discussing with the courtiers, after all, there are many bandits, bandits, and profiteers in the area of Shandong Chengxuan Zhengsi, and the previous Eastern Expeditionary Army could not be attacked for a long time, wasting a lot of military food, so it was only then that the Dashun Cihou retreated eastward and the generals of the Shun army gathered to defend the northwest family base in the great cause.
But before leaving, all the 34 Wu mansions outside the capital were beheaded by the order of Emperor Dashun, because these were all the general soldiers of the Ming Ning Yuanwei: Wu Sangui, who was forced to cause the Wu family, including the family and the maids, to be brutally slaughtered by the infantry of the Shun army!
Because Dashun Ruhou was injured and went north to follow the same route as the governor of Dashun, he only brought a concubine: Chen Yuanyuan, but not Princess Mingkunxing: Zhu Yujiao, after all, she is a female streamer and can't play much role!
In Gyeonggi, it was impossible for the military generals of the Ming Dynasty to support her to restore her sight? And her left arm has been cut off, and she has become a useless person! It is far less real than the four princes.
But he didn't want to escort the four Shunjun infantry of the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and as he walked, he heard the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty mourning the prince forever: Zhu Cizhi, holding his stomach and shouting with a painful expression, "Ouch! The lonely king, the lonely king's stomach hurts, it hurts! ”
Seeing this, the infantry of the Shun army around him hurriedly stopped and came over to take a look at the situation. Or is it due to physical discomfort?
However, Prince Song, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, watched the fourth brother rolling, but he had a whim and deliberately bumped into the third prince of the Ming Dynasty, Prince Dingai: Zhu Cijiong, and signaled him to cooperate with him with his eyes?
Fortunately, Prince Dingai, the third prince of the Ming Dynasty, reacted quickly in his brain, and immediately understood his intentions and decided to act at the opportunity.
Who knew that the next moment, Prince Song, the crown prince of Ming, actually spat at the mouth of the mouth, his eyes began to roll, and he gradually fell to the ground.
Seeing that the third prince was at a loss, Prince Dingai had no choice but to lean down and ask, "Brother Huang, what's wrong with you?" ”
While screaming, he struggled and wanted to reach out to cooperate, but the third prince of Naming, Prince Dingai, was tied to his arms and couldn't move, so anxious that he shouted, "Quick! Someone's coming! Loosen it for the Lone King. ”
The general manager of the Dashun artillery battalion on the side: Guo Li, think that His Royal Highness Prince Song, the former crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, was hit by the epidemic? He didn't think much about having someone untie the rope on his arm.
After being untied, the third prince of the Ming Dynasty, Prince Dingai, immediately pounced, helped the Ming Crown Prince and Prince Song cried, "Brother Huang, what's wrong with you?" ”
Prince Song, the crown prince of the Ming Emperor, who really couldn't pretend, had no choice but to whisper into his ear, and the third prince of the Ming Dynasty, Prince Dingai, immediately understood, and he said, "Brother Fang just said!" He may have been hit by the epidemic? Herbal remedies should be taken immediately to suppress the condition. ”
This is a wonderful trick!
Because the artillery battalion is responsible for the Shun army troops behind the palace, and if you get sick, you need to find the accompanying military doctor Lang Zhong and the doctor, but they are all in the Shun army marching in the front team and the squadron, and there is absolutely no way to turn around and come back at this critical moment, so this trick used by Prince Song, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, can be described as wonderful and dangerous to win!
In the face of the request made by His Royal Highness Prince Song, the former crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers of the Shun army and the Dashun artillery battalion always felt that there was no problem, because everyone was afraid of the epidemic, and the soldiers in the army were already afraid!
He was relieved to boldly let the third prince of the Ming Dynasty, Prince Dingai, help him to find herbs, and even the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, Prince Yongmourning, who was rolling on the ground, was untied and let him go out.
It's just that Yin Jiaqi, the head of the Dashun Artillery Battalion, felt that even if one of them was in the epidemic and the other wanted to be respectful, they would have to send someone to follow, so they found a few people who knew a little about herbal medicine to follow them.
In this way, Prince Song, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, was helped to walk more than a dozen steps into the jungle, and seeing that the front was about to come to an end, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, Prince Yongmourning, stopped his pace and was convenient behind a big tree.
Because the Liukou behind him was thirty meters away from them, so the crown prince of the Ming Emperor Song saw a glimmer of life, and he looked at the third prince of the Ming Dynasty, Prince Dingai.
Then count three! immediately took his hand and ran quickly to the front, and shouted, "Fourth brother, run!" ”
Seeing this, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty hurriedly lifted his trouser belt, turned his head and ran forward to join them, so that the rogue soldiers behind him noticed that something was wrong?
immediately chased after him and shouted, "Don't run!" Stop, stop! ”
Listening to the voice, the general of the Dashun artillery battalion hurriedly led a team of archers to run over, chasing the three princes who were running towards the jungle area, and the agile archers were the first to find a place to draw bows and arrows, and under the command of the general headquarters of the Dashun artillery battalion, they released arrows in front of them.
The range of the arrows in melee combat was a little bent, basically stuck in the branches and fell to the ground, and in the face of the enemy's intimidation, the three princes did not stop, but accelerated towards the foot of the western mountain.
However, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, Prince Yongmourning, loosened his trouser belt, accidentally stepped on his foot and fell to the ground!
He shouted to the front, "Brother Huang, save me!" ”
Just when the third prince of the Ming Dynasty turned back, he was pulled by the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Prince Song, he thought that if he didn't leave now, I was afraid that no one would be able to escape! Rather than three people dying here, it is better to leave a palace queen, and if you escape yourself, you will avenge him.
In this way, the remaining two people continued to run forward, and came to the top of the cliff, and Prince Song, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, who was running too fast, did not stop his pace and shook a few times, and pulled down the cliff together with the third prince of the Ming Dynasty, Prince Dingai!
The Liukou who was chasing behind thought that they couldn't catch up with them, so they had to release another wave of arrows, but unexpectedly, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, who had just pulled up the belt of his trousers, was shot through the chest by the arrows when he got up and was about to run!
He lowered his head slightly and glanced at the arrow where the blood flowed, and spat out a mouthful of blood! And stretched out his hand and whispered, "Brother Huang, let's go!" ”
The rogue soldiers who knew a little about medical skills were the first to catch up, but they found His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince of the Former Ming Dynasty lying in the grass bleeding, but he didn't see the other two?
And the general headquarters of the Dashun artillery battalion chased until the end, and found that there was a cliff in front of him, and then looked around and found that there was grass under his feet that had been trampled on?
This direction is exactly the location of the cliff, and it is about dozens of zhang deep after visual inspection, according to which it is estimated that they should have fallen off the cliff and died? The anxious Dashun artillery battalion headquarters always didn't know what to do? It just so happened that the commander of the Dashun Artillery Battalion also ran over to see the situation.
The anxious Dashun artillery battalion headquarters was always afraid of being blamed, so it proposed to send someone to the foot of the West Mountain to find the whereabouts of the two princes?
However, the head of the Dashun Artillery Battalion felt that the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Dongyu Cavalry might be pursued at any time, and it was better to keep up with the large army first than to find the lost princes.
After the rogues had withdrawn, twenty meters below the cliff where the grass was growing, a young man with a cloak of hair grabbed the vines...
On the 2nd day of May, at the palace of King Fu of Nanjing City, Nanzhili, red lanterns and rows of firecrackers were hung high, and the eunuchs lit them one by one with fire folds, and the sound of firecrackers spread throughout the palace.
Outside the palace gate, the civil and military officials have changed into court clothes, wearing a crown with a "sable cicada cage scarf", which is a square shape, with a golden cicada or "tortoiseshell cicada" attached to the front and back, among which the duke and above have (pheasant tail hair) inserted behind the crown to represent the status symbol.
All the ministers took Yugui into the palace hall and bowed to Prince Mingfu, who wore a blue crown and a crown of nine pearls.
Originally, it stands to reason that some of the Donglin Party ministers should be standing in the palace, but the Ming Fengyang Governor: Ma Shiying, had already ambushed the heavy soldiers and colluded with the eunuch party and the Chu party officials to squeeze all the Donglin party ministers outside the door and not enter the palace hall, so that most of them could only stand outside the main hall or under the stone steps.
Seeing that the plan was relatively smooth, Governor Fengyang of Ming began to take the lead in persuading, "Now, the Central Plains has fallen, and the first emperor has gone!" A country cannot be without a king for a day! The whereabouts of the crown prince and the third prince His Royal Highness Prince Ding, the fourth prince Prince Yong, and the fifth prince Prince Mourning are all missing? , and Prince Rui, Prince Hui, and Prince Gui are all at the level of the emperor's uncle and are far away, so the governor thinks that His Royal Highness Prince Lifu should be the prison of the country, I wonder if the ministers can have objections? ”
As soon as the words fell, the eunuchs who were directly subordinate to the Ming Dynasty were stationed: Han Zanzhou, and the eunuchs who took the lead began to put forward the requirements of Prince Fu to take the country as the main and recover the Central Plains in the north? But Prince Mingfu is very obedient now, according to the story of Emperor Jingtai, the prince of the Ming Dynasty: Zhu Qiyu, who ascended the throne.
Said solemnly: "I don't know if you ministers, you still remember, the fourteenth year of orthodoxy changed in the civil fort!" Emperor Yingzong's orthodox Rui: Zhu Qizhen, was taken by the Warat Taishi Huai Wang: Zhu Luo Yexian, is it a matter of being captured? The left squire of the military department of the central court: Yu Qian, and the right squire of the household department: Chen Xun, and other ministers tried their best to support the establishment of the king of the palace and finally called the emperor to repel Wara and recover the border of Xuanda and Liaodong Dusi, and the lone king swore here that he would definitely follow the example of Emperor Jingtai to revive the Ming Emperor's business. ”
