But said that the commander of the Dashun army, Liu Zongmin, saw that his subordinates had broken through the inner city, and the Ming army scattered and fled, knowing that Beijing City was in the bag, he was relieved, and ordered the battalions to go separately to capture the predetermined target according to the plan, and let people go to inform Li Zicheng to prepare to enter the city tomorrow, he entered the inner city under the escort of his own soldiers, and wanted to choose a mansion as his temporary marshal's mansion, he remembered that Zhou Kui had surrendered on the table and the prince, so he led people to the west city, Zhou Kui heard that Liu Zongmin was coming, and knew that he was the most powerful general in the Dashun army, Flattered, Da Kaifu led the whole family to kneel at the door. Liu Zongmin entered the Zhou Mansion and ordered someone to take care of the prince, and then drank tea and rested with Zhou Kui in the living room.

Zhou Kui carefully sat with Liu Zongmin, and said in a stammering voice: "The arrival of the general has made the wall of the house shine, and I am inexplicably grateful, I have prepared 200,000 taels of Sichuan as a dedication, and donated it to your army to fund the salary." In addition, the old man also specially prepared a filial piety gift for the general, and asked the general to smile. As he spoke, he took out 50,000 taels of silver tickets from his sleeve and respectfully presented them to Liu Zongmin, Liu Zongmin only smiled, and with a big thorny wave of his hand, a soldier next to him stepped forward to take it, and put it in his arms without looking at it.

Zhou Kui saw that Liu Zongmin didn't even say a word of thanks, obviously he didn't look down on this bit of silver, he was in a hurry, his mind turned, he thought of the dancing girl Kabuki he had collected, and said secretly: "This thief doesn't like money, I don't know if he likes beautiful women." He got up and saluted and said: "The general's heroes are world-famous, and his exploits are brilliant, and now he has achieved great success, and he has won the world, and he should have a good cultivation and enjoyment, and he has adopted a handful of women in the lower mansion, and he still has some posture, and he wants to dedicate it to the general, and only the heroes like the general are blessed to enjoy, I don't know what the general wants?" ”

This Liu Zongmin was originally born in the grass, and he has been running around in the army for many years, and he can't get close to women all day long, although in the interval of the expedition, he has also sought to rape some female dependents of landlords and gentry, but he just acted in a hurry, and he was very unhappy. Before entering Beijing, he thought about it, he wanted to take the opportunity of capturing the capital, choose a large mansion in the capital, and then go to the mansion of Ming court officials and nobles to search for beautiful women, raise them in the mansion, indulge in pleasure, and make up for his hard work and debts for so many years. In fact, he is not alone

Almost all the important generals of the Great Shun Dynasty had this thought, which also became one of the main reasons for Li Zicheng's later downfall.

Now, Liu Zongmin heard Zhou Kui say that there was a beautiful woman, which was exactly what he wanted, and he suddenly came to his senses, and said to Zhou Kui excitedly: "Oh, since that's the case, call it out and let Ben Shuai take a look." ”

Seeing this, Zhou Kui knew that this trick worked, and he was secretly happy in his heart, turned around and entered the back house, and after a while, he took the dancing girls to the front hall. These dancing girls are carefully selected by Zhou Kui from the Jiangnan Fengyue Field, everyone is stunning, all of them are romantic, Liu Zongmin was overjoyed when he saw it, his eyes lit up, he got up and came to the women, unscrupulously pinched and touched, and checked one by one, and the women were slightly frightened when they saw his black tower-like figure and rude behavior.

That Zhou Kui introduced the situation of the women one by one by his side, and said complimentarily at the end: "These women have their own merits, comparable, if the general likes it, I don't have to choose, and they are all included in the house, with the general's divine martial arts, and they are not afraid to rush and kill in the formation of thousands of troops, and it is naturally more than enough to deal with this woman, hehe." ”

"Hahahaha!" Liu Zongmin laughed heartily, rushed back to the table and sat down, and said: "These women naturally have to be accepted, but I and King Chuang and other brothers have always shared blessings and difficulties, how can I enjoy these stunning colors alone, and naturally I have to share a few as concubines." ”

Zhou Kui raised his thumb and complimented: "The general is really a heroic person, no wonder he can have such a high reputation in the Dashun Dynasty!" ”

Liu Zongmin was happy to be complimented, and said proudly: "Although the Hou Ye is the widow of the Ming Court, there is no evil trace, this time he has dedicated the prince, supported Dashun, and broke into the king's words, I want to keep your Marquis title, and allow you to live in peace, and the marshal will also send troops to protect your mansion and not be disturbed by the soldiers." ”

Zhou Kui hurriedly bowed down and thanked: "So, thank you for the general's care." ”

At noon, the sound of shouting and killing outside gradually subsided, Liu Zongmin estimated that the siege battle had basically ended, so he ordered Zhou Kui to prepare lunch, accompanied by Zhou Kui, drinking and eating, Zhou Kui persuaded to drink, while instructing the kabuki to perform, Liu Zongmin drank his ears and face was hot, his heart was moved, and he was ready to use it

After dinner, first find a few dancers to go to the back hall to relieve fatigue.

Zhou Kui next to him had another thought, he saw that Liu Zongmin liked women very much, and couldn't help but think of the matter of dedicating Chen Yuanyuan to King Chuang that he had discussed with Wu Xiang, and said secretly: "That thief is also a demon in the sex, Wu Xiang will dedicate Yuanyuan to the thief, he will definitely be greatly favored, how can such a great credit be swallowed by Wu Xiang alone." He took advantage of Liu Zongmin's drunkenness and said: "General, in fact, the old man also has a beloved daughter, who is also a long country color Tianxiang, and is now living in Wu Xiang's mansion, I have discussed with Wu Xiang, and I am ready to sacrifice her to King Chuang, but I don't know what the general thinks?" ”

"Oh? Do you have a daughter? One of your daughters is a queen, naturally she is beautiful, this daughter must not be wrong, how is she better than these women? Liu Zongmin asked, pointing to the dancers performing in front.

"Don't hide it from the general, this daughter is the goddaughter of the old decay, and she originally wanted to marry Wu Sangui, the son of Wu Xiang, as a concubine. If you want to talk about the appearance of little girls, they are naturally much stronger than these dancing girls. Zhou Kui said.

Liu Zongmin then remembered that this Wu Xiang was Wu Sangui's father, that Wu Sangui had tens of thousands of troops stationed in Shanhaiguan, and had never surrendered, but Liu Zongmin did not take him to heart, now that the Ming Dynasty has perished, with the little soldiers and horses in his hand, how is the opponent of the Dashun army, he has no other way to live except surrendering Dashun. But this Chen Yuanyuan is actually more beautiful than these stunning women in front of him, how would he have a look? I can't even think of it when I break my head. He became curious, immediately put down his wine glass, got up and said, "Since there is such a woman, I want to have a sneak peek, go, and take me to Wuxiang Mansion!" ”

Zhou Kui got up and said earnestly: "Yes, yes, I will guide the general." ”

Wu Xiangfu is also in Xicheng, a group of people riding horses led by Zhou Kui, only a quarter of an hour to arrive at Wu Mansion, that Zhou Kui rushed a few steps to the door of Wu Xiang, shouted loudly: "Open the door quickly, I am Jiading Bo, go and tell your master, just say that General Liu Zongmin of Dashun Dynasty came to inspect, hurry up and come out to greet." ”

In just a moment's work, the door of Wu's mansion creaked open, and Wu Xiang led the whole family to kneel down to greet Liu Zongmin.
