Chapter 147 [Sacrifice the City]

On the other side, the soldiers also reported the news to the general soldiers of Ming Datong, and he finally let go of his hanging heart after learning that the generals had entered the city, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Go with the generals, go out and have a look." "Then let his cronies go out to act according to the previous plan?

At this moment, the generals who entered the hall of the Metropolitan Government Office were sitting proudly and complacently on their chairs, discussing with each other about General Jiang's affairs, and they didn't notice anything wrong at all! A row of people walked in slowly, put a cup of tea in front of the generals' tables, and then lowered their heads and retreated, walking very quickly, and the guards outside the yamen increased by three hundred people for a while.

The general soldier of Ming Datong in the palace walked majestically in his battle robe, and the two rows of soldiers behind him followed with serious expressions, and when he came to the corner, the general soldier of Ming Datong waved his hand to stop the soldiers, and turned around and asked, "When the generals of the guard army enter the city, is there anything unusual?" ”

The soldier thought for a while and replied, "Back to the words of the commander-in-chief, the little one seems to have seen the governor on the castle tower, and the governor has also come to the capital's mansion?" Hearing this, he immediately made Ming Datong worried, he was afraid that this person would harm his business? After all, the governor usually inspects the military camps outside the city of Datong Town and Shanxi Xingdusi, and he has always been at odds with himself! Today, I suddenly entered the Toji Mansion again...

In case of emergency, the general army of Ming Datong decided to find him first, after all, the generals in the hall of the department had already drunk the (poison) put in the tea and died, even if they didn't drink it, they were probably killed by the soldiers arranged by themselves outside the door with crossbow arrows, and now only the governor is the suddenly appearing figure who has no whereabouts?

So the general soldiers of Ming Datong looked around for the governor in the Dusi Mansion, and after looking for about half a cup of tea, the soldiers accidentally saw a few people changing clothes near the stable? From a distance, one of them seems to be a man dressed in the royal clothes?

This made the general soldier of Ming Datong very happy, he lifted his battle robe and snatched the crossbow arrows carried by the soldiers in a dashing manner, aimed ahead, smiled at the corner of his mouth, pulled the trigger (whoosh) and pierced the heart of the king of Yongqing in the Ming Dynasty! The king of Ming Yongqing County, who was hit by the arrow, was just about to turn around and stretch out his hand to point to this side, but blood flowed from his mouth, causing him to fall to the ground and die on the spot!

The honor guards next to them were amazed! They hurriedly squatted down to support the body of the king of Ming Yongqing, with a sad expression in the corners of their eyes and shouted, "His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness..." ”

After a period of pain passed, everyone got up and looked at the general soldier of Ming Datong, who slowly lowered the crossbow arrows, and scolded: "You are so bold? How dare you shoot His Royal Highness the King of the County? Aren't you afraid that the court will punish your nine clans? ”

However, the general soldiers of Ming Datong were not afraid of them at all now, he directly pulled up his battle robe, turned sideways to block his sight, closed his eyes, and said helplessly: "Kill me!" As soon as the words fell, the Datong soldiers quickly rushed forward and slashed more than a dozen honor guards of the Yongqing County Mansion who resisted, and after a while, the Datong soldiers cut all these people to the ground!

Hearing that there was no sound of fighting, the general soldier of Ming Datong put down his robe, opened his eyes, raised his head and said, "It's going to change!" I didn't expect that I, Jiang Zhuo, would also rebel against the Ming Empire. After saying that, the soldiers put away their bloody sabers and asked, "Lord Commander, did the Governor of the Guard cover up the killing on the spot?" ”

For some reason, the general soldier of Ming Datong was a little reluctant to die so soon, so he said, "No! I'm going to catch it alive. "When the soldiers saw that the chief soldier had spoken, they had no choice but to look for the whereabouts of the governor so that they could be caught alive.

At the same time, at the gate of Shanxi Xingdu Sicheng, there was also a Dashun army wearing armor and foot armor with banners, which frightened the Ming soldiers guarding the city in panic! Some soldiers nervously shouted, "Quick, ring the alarm." ”

Two soldiers rushed to the bell tower to ring the bell to convey the message, so that the trumpeter could hear the alarm and blow the horn.

Who knows, but was stopped by General Mingshanxi and said, "No one is allowed to go!" Seeing that the general suddenly said this, some soldiers immediately guessed; Could it be that the general has the idea of retreating from the enemy? Unexpectedly, he pulled out his saber and stepped forward, grabbed a soldier who was about to report the news and stabbed him directly, and the soldiers next to him were dumbfounded! Everyone looked at him with amazement.

I saw that General Mingshan took back his saber and said, "It's like this, I'm not hiding anything!" The general army summoned all the generals to come to the capital mansion in order to kill people and destroy the mouth, and now the Dashun army's eastward expedition is like a bamboo, and it is a matter of time before the Datong Mansion is breached! However, the general soldier knows the times and knows that Datong Mansion cannot hold it, and the Cheying troops have not participated in the war for a long time, and the soldiers of the entire Datong Mansion have just experienced the plague, and their combat effectiveness is not as good as before! If you rush into battle, you will definitely lose? Today, since the words are clear, if you brothers want to live, then obediently put down their weapons and open the door to welcome the Shun army, if you don't want to, then you can only be sorry! ”

Seeing this scene, the Ming army defending the city was pressed by the army, and the battle must be the enemy on their backs, and their families will not be protected if they retreat! In desperation, the soldiers all laid down their weapons and opened the city gate to let the light cavalry of the Shun army in the front team enter the city, and the heavy armor soldiers and spearmen of the Shun army in the rear team also entered one after another.

When the unaware governor of Ming Datong was riding a horse towards the capital office, he overheard the sound of many war horses and iron horses? He felt a little strange and thought it was Datong Iron Rider? Who knew that when he grabbed the reins and turned around, he saw that the streets were full of rogue troops? Only then did I know that Mr. Jiang had already betrayed the Ming Dynasty! Frightened, he fell off his horse, and before he could get up, he was held hostage by the Shun soldiers who rushed up with spears and taken to see Emperor Dashun.

In this way, the governor of Ming Datong was escorted to the imperial car at the gate of the city, and the generals shouted, "The officials of the Ming court still kneel? ”

However, the backbone governor of Ming Datong directly despised Li Thief, he sat on the ground, closed his eyes, stretched out his hands to bow to the sky, and cried bitterly: "The minister is ashamed that he did not block the rogue, causing Li Thief to enter the capital mansion, I am really ashamed of my high hopes for Your Majesty!" ”

This made Emperor Dashun a little frustrated, so he comforted: "I am a grass people in Mizhi County, and it is the destiny of heaven to know so far today, I see that you are still loyal to Zhu Youxuan, if you can surrender to my Dashun, I will be crowned as a high-ranking official, are you willing?" This remark was directly rejected by the governor of Ming Datong, and he was also scolded, "Benfu is an official of His Majesty the Ming Emperor, how can there be a reason to surrender and be a thief?" ”

The Liukou generals were a little angry when they heard this, and they each pulled out their swords and were about to cut him down, but Emperor Dashun waved his hand to let him be pressed down, but he happened to meet with the general army of Datong who rebelled against the Ming, and he was so angry that the governor of Datong: Wei Jingyi, scolded and said, "Jiang inlaid thief mistook me Daming!" Dare to betray Benfu, how can Your Majesty spare you for openly betraying the court? How can God forgive you after death? ”

Seeing this person so loyal and martyred really moved Emperor Dashun! After all, there are not many loyal and patriotic ministers under him, so he really wants to collect the governor of Ming Datong into Dashun, so he let people take him down to entertain him.

Then the rebel general: Jiang Ping, stepped forward and saluted Emperor Dashun and said, "The general army of Datong sees His Majesty the Emperor of Dashun, may my emperor live long live!" The generals of the nearby guards were all solved by the last general, and both Shanxi Xingdu Division and Datong Town were also the henchmen of the last general, please don't worry about it! ”

Having said that, Emperor Dashun looked at the general guarding Datong Mansion in front of him, and he was still a little uneasy! Without hesitation, he waved his hand and said, "Push me out, cut it off!" ”

As soon as you hear that Emperor Dashun wants to kill yourself? Suddenly frightened, Jiang Pai hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, spare your life!" I sincerely surrender to Dashun. The generals of the Ming army who followed behind him also knelt down and begged for mercy, but Emperor Dashun decided to order the removal of this bane for the sake of safety.

At this time, Dashun Chaotianhou: Zhang Tianlin, and Jiang Xuan, who had just surrendered, stood up and persuaded him, "Your Majesty, you might as well leave him alive for the time being!" Maybe it's still useful? ”

Seeing a general pleading for the Ming general made Emperor Dashun feel incredible? He thought to himself; If you kill a Ming general, what's the use? Besides, he has killed countless people, and he is not bad for such a one, but since there are generals who have raised opinions, Emperor Dashun still wants to hear it, let him talk about why he didn't kill him?

So the Marquis of Dashun Chaotianhou leaned up to Emperor Dashun and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, don't forget that he is the highest-ranking military general in Datong Mansion, once you kill him, don't say that his Ming General is not convinced?" Even if someone surrenders in the future, I'm afraid that Dashun will be reduced! What's more, we finally won Datong Mansion without bloodshed, so why kill the Ming general for no reason? If His Majesty trusts, Benhou is willing to be stationed in Datong Mansion to take care of these Ming generals. ”

After listening to the words of the Marquis of Dashun, Emperor Dashun thought that there was some truth, because killing a person was small, but if it angered the generals of Datong Mansion to rebel, it would be a big deal! Therefore, Emperor Dashun did not hesitate to listen to his advice and ordered the pardon of Jiang Jiu, the general of the Ming Dynasty.

Jiang Xuan, who took a deep breath, in order to report Dashun, proposed, "Your Majesty, the last general has surrounded the Acting Prince's Mansion, and is willing to dedicate His Royal Highness to His Majesty, and please accept it!" ”

This great gift made the generals of the Shun army happy, and they came forward to ask for the vanguard, of course, the Great Shun Emperor was not willing to give them this sweetness, after all, the Shun generals are famous for their robbery skills, and lying about the spoils of war is almost commonplace! Therefore, Emperor Dashun decided to personally go to the palace of the acting prince to collect the finances.

The door of the prince's mansion here was surrounded by the Ming army of Datong, and they raised their guns and arrows to aim at the door, and the families in the palace did not dare to open the door at all, they were hiding in the corner with their own newspapers, shivering, even the prince of the Ming Dynasty: Zhu Chuanqi, and the concubines around him were also frightened, and a concubine cried directly and said, "His Royal Highness the prince of Dai, do you say that this Jiang Zongbing, who has suffered a thousand cuts, has surrendered to the rogues?" Otherwise, why would there be so many Datong soldiers surrounding all corners of the mansion. ”

Prince Xian of the Ming Dynasty, who was sweating, replied: "Concubine Ai, don't panic! Maybe it was General Jiang who was worried that the Liukou would attack the palace, so he sent troops to surround the outside of the palace? ”

However, everyone around me knows that this is impossible! How can anyone who guards the palace raise his bow to the gate of the palace fiercely? Only His Royal Highness the Acting Prince is still immersed in fantasy!

Soon, groups of Liukou soldiers ran over quickly, and the leading general of the Dashun Right Battalion and the Shangshu of the Dashun Military Department spoke: "The Dashun rebel army is here, those who lay down their arms and surrender are not to blame for the past, and those who resist will be killed!" As soon as the words fell, the Ming soldiers of Datong all glanced at each other, and some of the Ming soldiers were very strange about the arrival of the Liukou? Thought; Mr. Jiang didn't mention the invasion of the rogues before? Why did this rogue come here all of a sudden?

Just when the Datong soldiers were stunned, a familiar figure walked out of the rogue army? The soldiers pointed and said, "Is that him?" It's actually the chief soldier? ”
