Few people in Xudu County dare to haunt during the day, and there is no one at night! The local garrison and the government did not dare to easily enter the ghost town area of Yudu County, and it can be said that it was precisely because of this that the county town became a natural barrier.

But what is strange is that there has never been a single death in this county since the outbreak of the plague? But every time at night, you can always hear someone crying? Occasionally, you can see children in white clothes playing by the river, but the people who see this kind of thing are either Alzheimer's, or people who are born, old, sick and dead, so no one can explain the ghost town in Xudu County so far!

So when Onishi's army passed by by boat, the ship was miraculously grounded? And also in the deep water zone, which is simply not a matter for the old boatmen according to the experienced.

And yet it has happened! It can be said that it came without warning, because the ships of the bandit army in front could not move, and then the ships moving behind were also stranded one by one.

Despite the constant command of the soldiers at the helm of the rowing boat and the flag bearer, it still seemed to have no effect.

Gradually, a heavy fog began to envelop the boats on the river, and a light breeze blew when the haze rose.

After a while, the Onishi soldiers on the left boat were so frightened that they screamed loudly, "Ah! Yes, there are ghosts! ”

The soldier in charge of the helm turned his head to look at the river, and sure enough, he saw a man in white who was faintly reflected in the fog with his hair draped, and there was a burst of crying from time to time?

Most of the Onishi soldiers who watched this scene were frightened to the ground, and the timid ones even ran into the cabin to hide, leaving only the bold Onishi soldiers standing on the ship and watching.

Wang Dingguo, the former military governor of Daxi who was alarmed, walked out of the cabin and glanced at it, pouting and smiling, "It's just a mirage!" Don't make such a fuss, come on! Archers ready to put! ”

As soon as the words fell, a row of archers on the fleet quickly pulled their bows and released their arrows, and the arrows were densely inserted into the trees and the shore towards the river, and some of the arrows penetrated directly through the white-clothed man.

This scene made the Onishi soldiers even more frightened! Because after the shooting, the cry is getting closer and closer? Some soldiers who were superstitious about the ghost town in Xudu County began to mumble in a low voice, "I, I heard this, this is a ghost town that is often haunted?" Why don't we take a detour? ”

The soldiers who were talking about it were also heard by the former military governor of Onishi, who wanted to prove that there were no evil spirits here in order to stabilize the morale of the army, but why did the sky get late and not solve the problem of the ships, and the soldiers were in a state of panic all the time, for fear of provoking the morale of the army? Therefore, he planned to run to the cabin of the ship to report the military situation to King Onishi.

At this moment, he saw an incredible and amazing scene again?

I saw a group of skull-headed soldiers wearing phoenix-winged helmets, heavy armor, holding halberds, and wearing (ring-headed straight knives) on their waists on the river on the opposite bank, slowly walking past the side of the Great Western Army fleet.

In addition, the fog floating on the river looked particularly scary, and it couldn't help but make the former military governor of Onishi stunned! He covered his mouth and said silently in his heart: "I can't imagine that this Xudu County is still the land of the legendary ghost town!" ”

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tremble, raised his hand, and ordered: "Quick, the whole army retreats!" The right full rudder is ready to make a U-turn. ”

At the same time, the Ming army stationed in Chongqing Prefecture, Sichuan Cheng Xuan, also urgently sent a message overnight to report the news of the thief's westward expedition to the Ming Chongqing prefect: Wang Xingjian, and the Ming Chongqing prefect wrote the news of the thief's approach to Chongqing Mansion into a document, so that the herald soldiers could quickly send it to Chengdu Mansion.

At the end of the unitary period, the left guard of Tongzhou from Beizhili Shuntianfu slowly rode into the Dashun army in the Gyeonggi area, and the soldiers of the Shun army carrying the flag of the Shun army trotted slowly in front, and the soldiers of the Shun army stationed at the Dongzhi Gate of the inner city saw that there were soldiers carrying the Shunzi flag outside the city running towards this side, and they did not dare to stop it more but directly ordered to open the city gate to pass.

Soon, the Emperor Dashun of the front team entered the inner city, leaving the battalions of troops to stay and garrison around Gyeonggi in batches, and only took the guards to continue to walk towards the Chengtianmen of the imperial city.

He said, "Your Majesty, although the main force of our army is defeated, its strength still exists, and the Central Plains region is still under the control of our army, but the former Ming army in the southern region remains neutral because of the loss of face, if Your Majesty chooses to ascend the throne immediately and become the lord of the Central Plains, then the south and even the eastern Jiannu will be the founder of the new dynasty for you, and they will naturally realize that it is almost impossible for the barbarians to peek into my Central Plains!" What does Your Majesty think? ”

After listening to Prime Minister Dashun's words, Emperor Dashun was overjoyed, and hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and praised, "Okay, it's really good!" I also think it's time to make a master for the Central Plains. ”

However, Emperor Dashun also considered that the Dongyu chasing army and the Guanning iron cavalry could attack Gyeonggi at any time, and along the way, except for a small number of troops stationed in Jizhou Town, most of the soldiers and horses in the Gyeonggi area were withdrawn from a stone battle, and some of the Gyeonggi defenders (Ming Surrender Army) were still patients affected by the epidemic, and they might not be able to defend Gyeonggi if they really resisted?

Therefore, he decided to ascend the throne immediately tonight, but in such a short period of time, there was no time to make any preparations, and Taichang Temple and Shuntianfu basically showed a very nervous atmosphere as soon as they received the news!

Fortunately, Emperor Dashun was also reasonable, he knew that Gyeonggi could not stay for a long time, so he ordered the Prime Minister of Dashun: Taurus Xing, to perform the "Suburban Heavenly Ceremony" instead of himself, and he himself was temporarily modified by the Shangyi Supervisor to change the crown of the first emperor (Chongzhen) during his lifetime.

However, he did not choose to ascend the throne in the Huangji Palace, because it had suffered the blows of the soldiers of the Shun army when they entered the palace, so the Great Shun Emperor would choose to ascend the throne in another place, Wuying Palace.

Although the form was a bit hasty, it was still necessary to have what should have been, and the holy decree reached the Gyeonggi officials in the inner court and the outer court, and even the relatives of the former Ming Emperor, including the imprisoned Ming crown prince Song Prince and the kings.

After half a pillar of incense, she was in the former Ming Left Army Governor's Mansion Zuo Governor: Tian Hongyu, the current Ming Kunxing princess in the Dashun Ruhou Mansion in Tian Mansion: Zhu Yujiao, dragging her short-sleeved half arm in the mansion, she accidentally found that the family seemed to be busy with something?

Princess Ming Kunxing, who was a little curious, couldn't help but grab a family member with her right arm and asked, "I don't know if this little brother has found anything in this mansion?" Why is everyone busy? ”

The little brother who was questioned glanced at her, his eyes were confused, and replied, "Oh, Your Majesty is going to ascend the throne tonight, and we are preparing for Lord Ruhou!" ”

But Princess Ming Kunxing didn't see this, she saw a maid carrying a bloody wooden basin and many military doctors who had entered the mansion to go to the bedroom of the Marquis Mansion.

This made Princess Mingkunxing guess that something big must have happened? After all, Emperor Dashun's expedition to Shanhaiwei is well known in the court, and now he is in such a hurry to come back, and it must be strange to ascend the throne at night? Moreover, there are no women in the Ruhou Mansion who are pregnant, but there are military doctors who enter the house! Presumably a big defeat?

At this time, one of the eight Yans of Jiangnan Qinhuai who was locked up in the courtyard, the righteous daughter of the Zuo Governor of the Ming Left Army, the general soldier of the Ming Ning Yuanwei: Wu Sangui, and the concubine: Chen Yuanyuan, who was also dressed up by the maids, wearing gold and silver, wearing a cross-collared shirt with a phoenix tail skirt, was supported and walked out step by step.

Because Chen Yuanyuan was naturally beautiful and very beautiful, it caused many family members to look at her directly, and even Princess Ming Kunxing couldn't help but praise, "I can't imagine that there is such a beautiful woman in this world, it really opens the eyes of this princess!" ”

She ran over with a smile and shouted as she ran, "Sister fairy, sister fairy!" ”

Unexpectedly, she was stopped by the maid and did not let her approach, and she was annoyed and scolded on the spot: "Presumptuous! Do you know who Princess Ben is? How dare you stop it? ”

Chen Yuanyuan, who reacted on the side, said, "You are a princess?" I don't know, but Her Royal Highness the Second Princess? ”

Princess Ming Kunxing, who was smiling brightly, nodded and asked, "Dare to ask who the fairy sister is?" Why is she so beautiful and moving, so that Jiao'er is so envious! ”

Chen Yuanyuan, who shook his head and looked away in shame, sighed and said, "The folk woman is the righteous daughter of the former military governor of the Ming Dynasty, Lord Tianzuo, and the general soldier of Ning Yuanwei, who guarded the customs outside the pass, is a wife and concubine, but I don't want to be intercepted here since Lord Ruhou entered the palace!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Her Royal Highness felt a little sorry, and the maids persuaded her, "Madame, hurry up!" Otherwise, Lord Ruhou will question us later! ”

The reasonable Chen Yuanyuan had no choice but to resign to Her Royal Highness the princess and continue to walk towards the bedroom of the Ruhou Mansion, and Princess Mingkunxing looked at her departing back under the light of the lantern and sighed!

The standard-bearer guard who surrendered in front of the Ming Dynasty on the martial tower of the Forbidden City still beat the drum three times to announce the time according to the rules of the past, but this time he added a sentence that said, "Three quarters of the time, descend Lou!" Only the entrance door of hundreds of officials into the palace is wide open. ”

Here, a group of Shunjun soldiers wearing armor and helmets with red feathers on their helmets are patrolling in the East Palace, but there is a sound of things being smashed in the palace not far away?

A man yelled inside, "Bold! He is a thief who actually let Lone go to worship? It's not like it's okay! Doesn't the water of the well interfere with the water of the river? Can't beat Wu Sangui? Just thinking about running away as soon as possible? ”

The subordinates didn't dare to talk much, just lowered their heads and urged His Royal Highness Prince Song to change his clothes, but he had a strong personality and refused to give in to anything, and he was forced to keep the safety of His Royal Highness Prince Song, Yan Tong, gently pulled out his waist knife and threatened, "His Royal Highness Prince Song, don't forget that you are not the crown prince now!" Your Majesty rewarded you for being able to afford to be the Prince of Song, don't be ignorant! Besides, you are now a prisoner, and if you don't kill you, you are already a noble hand! ”

After listening to this sentence, Prince Song, the crown prince of the Ming Emperor, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and endured this breath and agreed to change his clothes, but whether he saluted or not depended on his mood.

However, his three younger brothers and the captured vassal kings had already changed into the "Tongtian Crown Suit" of the red crown dress series, and under the leadership of the Ming crown prince Prince Song, everyone was taken by the soldiers of the Shun army to wait in the Wuying Hall of the Outer Dynasty.

Also arrived with the former Ming surrender officials who survived by luck and most of the former Ming officials and Shun generals who had surrendered to Dashun before, among which the former Ming Qin Tianjian Zheng: Tang Ruowang, the former Ming Bing Kezuo Zhizhong: Gong Dingyu and others also appeared outside the Wuying Palace.

The officials bowed their heads to each other and discussed, I don't know, why did this Li thief gather everyone to come at night? Some former Ming ministers privately discussed: "Could it be that the Shun army was defeated?" Hurriedly summoned us to discuss how to defend the Gyeonggi Route? ”

Another minister discussed: "No, no! It is very likely that it was wiped out, and Ning Yuanwei's general soldiers only returned to the dynasty with the starry night division? ”

Just when everyone was talking, the sound of drums sounded again, accompanied by the sound of "trombone trumpet", when the sound sounded, behind the hundreds of civil and military officials outside the hall, came a row of Shunjun guards and imitation of the Ming Dynasty to form a brocade guard honor guard, and some of the palace maids holding the "palace fan", followed by the Great Shun Emperor who changed into the black and red gorgeous crown of the Son of Heaven in twelve chapters.
