At this time, the soldier on the right wing suddenly received a letter from the carrier pigeon, and he didn't dare to be careless and immediately took it to the Ming Nan Zhili Military Department to read, thinking that it was a good thing? Who knew that when I opened the letter, I saw the fall of Gyeonggi? Your Majesty is dead!

Hearing this made him collapse on the spot! Involuntarily shed tears and cried, "Your Majesty, the old minister is too late to save the driver!" Can't keep Daming! I can't save you. ”

The generals around him knelt down in mourning when they heard this! Everyone cried and asked, "Lord Shi Shangshu, is this true?" Then are we still going north to King Qin? ”

I saw a familiar figure waving in the distance, "Hi! Lord Shangshu. ”

Everyone turned their heads to look over and found that there was actually a recruit Ma Wei on the hillside, Liu Ruilin and Yao Qiuyue in the army immediately greeted him when they saw this, and Ma Wei quickly ran down the hillside.

Wu Junzhen, who was behind him, also took off his blindfold, and was surprised to see the rebel soldiers who laid down their arms and surrendered! Thought; These two are actually spies?

At this moment, Zhu Youlan also came to the front of the formation, looking for Wu Junzhen everywhere, and she shouted as she walked, "Wu Gongzi, Wu Junzhen, where are you?" From time to time, they also grabbed the Ming soldiers to ask about the situation, but everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know!

Fortunately, Wu Junzhen's ears could be heard from more than 20 meters away, and he saw it at the relatively open mountainside, and found that His Royal Highness the county lord was calling him, so he was ready to run over and salute.

However, some rebel soldiers who were unwilling to surrender like this, when they saw this situation when they released their weapons, they quickly stepped forward and stabbed down the Ming army standing in front, rushed behind Zhu Youlan and threatened with a knife, saying "Don't move!" It's death anyway! If you can be accompanied by a beautiful woman today, you can die well. ”

The Ming army shouted quickly, "Bold rebels, quickly let go of His Royal Highness the County Lord!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the rebel soldiers became even more arrogant, and they used her to retreat slowly, which made the Ming Ningbo Wei commander very helpless, he had to follow the rebel soldiers closely, and after the rebels who held His Royal Highness the county lord hostage retreated more than a dozen steps, the Ming soldiers stepped forward and slashed the rest of the rebels.

Wu Junzhen in the distance saw that the situation was wrong! He ran anxiously, but felt that this was not the way to go! After all, the rebels are holding His Royal Highness the county lord hostage, and if they rush over, they will definitely hurt her.

He turned to run to the top of a higher mountain, trying to intercept the way ahead, and he also led a small group of Ming troops to rescue people!

His Royal Highness, the threatened county lord, was dragged all the way to the top of the mountain, and Wu Junzhen was also climbing to the top of the mountain step by step, during which he also fired a few shots at the soldiers in front of the rebels with an iron whip and shot several rebels, which frightened the rebels who held Zhu Youlan even more nervous.

After a cup of tea, they retreated to the path at the top of the mountain, Wu Junzhen quickly overtook the shortcut to catch up with them, and pulled out his saber and pointed at the rebels in front of them, shouting: "Put down His Royal Highness the county lord, and you will not die!" ”

However, the rebels said, "Stop him." ”

So the rebel soldiers had no choice but to rush up to fight, Wu Junzhen jumped up and kicked over one rebel, and stepped on the shoulder of another rebel to jump and slash two rebels, and when he looked back, His Royal Highness the county lord was gone!

He quickly said to the Ming troops fighting behind him: "This is up to you!" I'm going to chase His Royal Highness the county lord. ”

After finishing speaking, he picked up his saber and chased after him, and after turning a few corners, he finally found the figure of the rebel and His Royal Highness the county lord in front, and the excited Wu Junzhen shouted while running, "Stop!" Stand still. ”

But the rebels ran faster and faster, and in desperation, Wu Junzhen had to pull out his saber and fly towards the rebels, the sharp blade quickly stabbed the rebel's right leg, and in the panic, the rebels let go of their hands, causing Zhu Youlan's feet to twist, rolling a few times from the grass next to him to the edge of the cliff, just grabbing a straw!

Seeing that he was about to fall, at this critical moment, Wu Junzhen ran over and stretched out his hand and said, "Your Royal Highness the County Lord, hold my hand!" ”

Zhu Youlan raised his head to look at him, and when his hand was slowly raised and was about to grab Wu Junzhen's palm, the rebel behind him forcibly endured the pain and slowly moved his legs and walked over, raising his knife and preparing to slash down.

At the last moment, Zhu Youlan reminded in time: "Be careful behind you!" As soon as the words fell, Wu Junzhen turned around and dodged a blow, causing the knife to slash on the straw of the cliff and cut the grass, causing Zhu Youlan to quickly fall below the cliff.

Seeing that Wu Junzhen was very angry, he snatched the saber from the rebel's hand and stabbed the rebel to death in the back, and shouted loudly after lowering his body, "Yulan! ”

Then they fled with him.

This scene happened to be seen by Ma Wei and Liu Ruilin, who led the soldiers up the mountain, among which Yao Qiuyue was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and cried, "Wu Gongzi! After crying a few times, he fainted.

And Ma Wei and Liu Ruilin hurriedly ran over to the edge of the cliff and took a look, and found that the edge of the immortal qi was boiling, very high, about hundreds of zhang deep, and the cliffs on both sides were very steep, so it was basically difficult to imagine whether Wu Junzhen and Zhu Youlan were still alive.

The two of them each shouted a few times, "Brother Wu, His Royal Highness the County Lord, Brother Wu, His Royal Highness the County Lord...... ”

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the Ming army came over and reported: "The cliff here can go around from the side of the official road of Renchengwei, and you can reach the bottom of the cliff." After hearing this, the two hurriedly ran to the official road, and Ma Wei also ordered the soldiers to take Yao Qiuyue back to the barracks to rest.

When they returned to the city guard and were about to leave, a herald quickly ran over to let them go back to the camp, and Ma Wei asked with some curiosity, "What's the matter?" ”

The soldier replied, "Lord Shangshu of the Nanzhili Military Department, you are about to set off south to go to the defense of Nanzhili with the Governor of Fengyang, you two should also go and prepare!" ”

I learned that Lord Shi Shangshu is not going to go north, but to go south? To intercept the Liukou army to protect the Dudu stayed in Si Fengyang Mansion, so they didn't plan to return to the camp! Instead, he continued to follow the official road to find the whereabouts of Wu Junzhen and Zhu Youlan.

At this moment, the Gyeonggi area is being occupied by the Dashun army, and the streets inside and outside the capital can be seen everywhere Liukou soldiers walking through the streets and alleys to collect things, some of them leave happily with gold, silver and jewelry, some break into the houses and pick up the women of the good family who are in mourning and turn around and leave, and some Dashun generals directly occupy the mansion and change it into their own mansion to live! It made chaos inside and outside the capital.

From the beginning of not taking a stitch from the people, not paying food and not paying taxes, to the current direct robbery! What's even more exaggerated is that the soldiers of the Shun army in the capital also began to break into the palace gates separately to check on the survivors and deal with the palaces so that they could be vacated for the generals to live in.

Among them, Dashun Ruhou: Liu Zongmin, Dashun Zehou: Tian Jianxiu, and other generals rushed into the inner court of the Forbidden City, searched in the direction of the harem, and mainly wanted to accept a few Ming concubines as wives, the wish is beautiful but the reality is cruel!

The scene along the way was beyond their expectations, and the generals of Dashun found that the palaces around the inner court, not to mention the concubines, did not even have a shadow of the palace maids mixed in! Many of the ladies either hanged themselves or jumped into moats and ponds and drowned!

Occasionally, only two or three women were found in a few hidden places, and these were the low-ranking women in the surviving "Huanyi Bureau", which disappointed most of the generals of the Shun army.

They rushed towards Yonghe Palace and Jingyang Palace, and the soldiers of the Shun army who walked in front found that outside the gate of the palace here, there were a few eunuchs walking slowly with vegetable baskets, and the soldiers of the Shun army rushed over with lightning speed, and frightened the five elderly eunuchs who delivered food to drop the vegetable baskets and flee, but they were helplessly stopped by the soldiers of the Shun army waving knives.

I saw Dashun Fei riding the palm brigade: Yu Jiansong, walked over and asked, "Don't panic!" Let me ask why there are no concubines in the backyard of this deep palace? And where is your Emperor Ming? ”

In the face of the questioning, the eunuchs trembled in fright and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know where to go!" We just follow the rules of the palace and come to the harem every day to deliver imperial food! Master Jun, please let me go, wait! ”

Da Shun Fei took a look at the cavalry brigade and felt that these eunuchs were also strange and pitiful, so he ordered them to leave as soon as his heart softened, and the Liukou generals continued to walk forward to Jingyang Palace.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, he found the traces of the palace maids hiding in this abandoned palace, and the anxious rogue soldiers immediately rushed up, picked up the palace maids and pressed them down on the spot to reduce the fire, and the rest of the Dashun generals also rushed into the Jingyang Palace.

But when they entered the hall, everyone found that there were still many concubines dressed in tattered clothes? This makes the generals of Dashun feel very strange? The general of the Shun military system couldn't help but ask, "Why are you beauties here?" ”

Seeing this, a few of the concubines who looked normal stepped forward and replied, "Generals, please save the palace quickly!" ”

The generals of Dashun who have doubts feel that something is wrong? Thought; Could it be that this place is a cold palace where the harem concubines are imprisoned in folklore? In order to confirm the situation, they questioned several concubines separately, and the conclusions were all the same.

Only after some interrogation did you learn the truth of the matter? It turned out that these were all concubines who were beaten into the cold palace during the Wanli and Apocalypse years, but this aroused the interest of the generals of Dashun, after all, how noble is the identity of the concubines in the palace? And the woman who has served His Majesty the Emperor must not be bad at the level!

Among them, they each selected a few good-looking concubines to take as concubines, but Dashun Ruhou could not choose a suitable woman, and he was very annoyed and walked out of the palace in a rage.

At this time, the Dashun Emperor in the Forbidden City, wearing a hat and a white robe, led the civil and military ministers to the Imperial Palace, he walked up the steps step by step and looked at this magnificent palace, thinking about the corpses of soldiers and civilians outside the city, it turned out that the capital was not as beautiful as the legend, but a huge palace built by countless souls and rights!

At this moment, Emperor Dashun didn't seem to be able to bear the idea of having captured the capital in his mind! Of course, he also regretted capturing the capital, because he has now become the recognized number one enemy of the Ming Empire, whether it is Daxi, Daming, Manchu, these three armies will not let him go, when they did not enter Beijing, no one of the generals of Dashun thought that they could successfully attack the capital?

Even Emperor Dashun originally just wanted to negotiate peace, let Ming Yizong reward the northwest region to himself, and give him the title of a vassal king to be satisfied, who would have thought that he would take the capital of the Ming Emperor with such a siege, let alone that he would be able to come to the Forbidden City and stand in this imperial palace.

Raising his head and looking at the four words "Monarch Huayi" hanging on the plaque above the main hall, he couldn't help but walk up and sit on the dragon throne, trying to experience the feeling of being an emperor, and the Dashun generals in the audience were half-squatting and saluting, "The last general, see Your Majesty, may my emperor live long live, long live, long live!" ”

At this moment, the tense mood was quickly released, and all the troubles were gone! He happily stretched out his hand and said, "All the lovers, you are flat!" ”

The generals of Dashun also replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" This can be said to have exposed the desire to be the emperor in an instant, he touched the dragon seat and said, "Zhu Youzhen, this guy!" Quite enjoyable, huh? This is much more magnificent than my palace in Xijing. ”
