From Tongguan to Xi'an, less than 300 miles.

The army under the command of Duoduo was all cavalry, and it took only two days to reach Xi'an after a rapid march.

What surprised him was that Xi'an in front of him was already an empty city. Li Zicheng has apparently led his troops to evacuate.

However, for the sake of insurance, Duoduo still ordered Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming to take the Tianyou army into the city. After ensuring that there was no fraud in it, he led the main force of the Eight Banners into the city.

The incident happened suddenly, Li Zicheng took away the army and his family, but he couldn't take away the people in the city.

Knowing that the Qing army had entered the city, these people hid in their homes and did not dare to go to the streets, and the entire city of Xi'an was like a dead city.

Dodor was unhappy with this. These people really don't know the times, shouldn't they take to the streets to welcome the arrival of the Eight Banners Army?

The Qing army helped them drive away Li Zicheng, a giant thief, and they didn't know that they were grateful, they were really heartless!

Dordor was angry, and the consequences were severe.

Under his orders, the Eight Banners Army and the Tianyou Army searched from street to street, house to house, and pulled out all the people hiding at home and drove them to the front of the original Qin Palace.

At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty and sealed the princes, and all those who were crowned kings could command tens of thousands of troops. According to the regulations, a school-like open space will be vacated in front of the palace to train these tens of thousands of princes' guards.

Later, Zhu Di was martyred and reduced the prince's guards, but the open space in front of the palace was retained.

However, there were too many people in Xi'an, and it was very difficult to gather them all at once, so Duoduo ordered to concentrate on the lectures in batches.

The people who had been driven in advance were all crowded in the open space in front of the Qin Palace. Facing the wolf-like Eight Banners Army and the Heavenly Blessing Army, they trembled and didn't even dare to come out.

Duoduo rode on a jujube red Mongolian horse, raised his chin proudly, and said: "This king is the prince of Yu in the Qing Dynasty, and the master of the white flag. On the orders of the Qing Emperor and the Regent, he went west to fight against the thieves. Now that the giant Li Zicheng has fled, you can rest assured. As long as you are a obedient citizen of my Qing Dynasty, this king can keep your wealth and fortune peaceful. ”

After saying that, Duoduo glanced at Kong Youde, who was not far away, and Kong Youde hurriedly continued: "His Royal Highness Prince Yu is right, since you want to be the obedient people of the Qing Dynasty, you naturally have to follow the customs of the Qing Dynasty. Eguan Bo belt is the bad rule of the previous dynasty. Money rat tail is the elegant government of the new dynasty. From now on, you need to shave your hair and make it easy to wear, and those who dare to disobey should be punished as rebellion! ”

The people in front of King Qin's mansion all lowered their heads and were silent.

Dordor was furious and roared, "Are you all dumb! ”

With that, he bent his bow and shot an arrow at a woman holding a baby.

Seeing the arrows flying, the woman, who had been a little wooden, suddenly turned away.

The arrow popped into her back, and the woman snorted and fell down.

She still clung to the child in her arms when she fell to the ground, and there was a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

"Three days, this king has given you three days. After three days, if anyone does not follow the custom of the Qing Dynasty to shave their hair and change clothes, they will be beheaded! ”

Duoduo only felt upset, leaving only Kong Youde and others to continue to speak, and he turned over and dismounted and entered the Qin Palace.

......

......

Chen Shuncai felt very excited from the first moment he entered Xi'an City.

Compared with Tongguan, Xi'an can be regarded as an absolute big city. Even compared to Taiyuan, it is not much to give up.

It is said that Ming Taizu also considered moving the capital to Xi'an, but unfortunately the prince Zhu Biao, who was sent to investigate, suddenly fell ill and died, and the matter of moving the capital was abandoned.

Chen Shuncai faintly felt that he could succeed in grabbing a woman to be his daughter-in-law this time.

He wandered along the streets, but the once bustling streets were deserted.

Chen Shuncai turned the corner and saw a young lady of fifteen or sixteen sitting by the well, with a corpse beside her, wrapped only in a straw mat, and even her feet were exposed.

Chen Shuncai chuckled in his heart, stepped forward and asked, "Why are you here alone?" ”

Now the people in Xi'an City are afraid of the Qing army like tigers, seeing how far away the Qing soldiers are and how far they are hiding, but this little lady seems to be not afraid, sitting here alone, I don't know why.

The little lady glanced up at Chen Shuncai, and choked up: "My father is dead, and I want to sell myself to bury my father." ”

"The man who died was your father?"

Chen Shuncai glanced at the scrawny corpse again, swallowed and spit.

"My father was starved to death."

The little lady's eyes were already full of tears, and it seemed that they could overflow at any time.

"Uh, doesn't Li Chuang love the people like a son? Why do you watch people starve to death? ”

Chen Shuncai felt a little incredulous, you must know that Li Zicheng has always used the slogan of not paying food when King Chuang comes.

"Love the people like children? It's just talking. ”

Xiao Niang sneered and said: "Seeking promotion in the morning, seeking cooperation in the evening, it is difficult for the poor to survive recently." Open the door early to worship the king, and the discipline is happy for everyone big and small. Slaughtered cattle and sheep, prepared wine syrup, opened the gate of the city to meet the king, and the king came and did not pay for the grain. Eat his mother, her mother, and eat not enough to break the king. Don't be bad, don't pay for food, everyone has a happy life... This is often sung when the army enters Xi'an, and everyone really believes it and thinks that the army will be saved when they enter the city. Who would have thought that the army would enter Xi'an, Li Chuang himself lived in the palace of the king of Qin, and only knew how to distribute money and food to his subordinates, but he forgot about us poor people. My father starved to death, and he didn't see Li Chuang share a grain of rice. ”

Chen Shuncai only felt that his throat was very uncomfortable as if he was stuck with a bone.

After a long time he asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Erya." She raised her head abruptly and asked in a loud voice, "If you give me money to bury my father, I will sell myself to you." ”

Yes!

Chen Shuncai only felt that his brain was confused, and he didn't know what to say at all.

Robbing a woman to go home and be a daughter-in-law is what he has always wanted to do. But he never thought of buying a woman......

But somehow, as soon as he saw Erya's strong and firm eyes, Chen Shuncai felt a tingling in his heart.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

After holding back for a long time, Chen Shun asked a question that made people laugh and cry.

Erya was so strong that Chen Shuncai couldn't figure it out.

"Afraid? Why be afraid? ”

Erya smiled bitterly: "My two elder brothers were arrested by Li Chuang and died in Tongguan, my mother died of illness, my father starved to death, and I was left alone, what am I afraid of?" ”

After a pause, Erya continued: "I know what you want to say, I am Han, and you are also Han, although you shave your hair and keep braids, you can't change this." It is better for me to marry a Han than to marry a Tartar. ”

"No, I'm not ......."

Chen Shuncai waved his hand again and again, and he was extremely reluctant to remember the fact that he was a Han Chinese. He has obviously raised the flag, why can't he get rid of the identity of the Han people?
