Chapter 299: It's Close

"Brothers, rush with me!"

The Ming army marched in the inner city, so that Ma Du finally had the courage to shout this sentence. The emperor ran away, the queen and the crown prince also ran away, and the remnants of the Yuan army in the inner city no longer had the slightest will, just like when they attacked Dadu.

Along the way, I met a lot of Yuan court officials who "rushed to the north", such small fish, small shrimps, horses, and Qi Xiang couldn't look down on them, and catching the big fish of Emperor Zheng was the most important thing. Under the leadership of the leading party, their group rushed straight to Emperor Zheng's camp.

As soon as they saw the empty camp, the two knew that Emperor Zhizheng was afraid that he had fled, but in fact, this was also their expectation, otherwise Li Wenzhong would not have gone to the north gate to intercept it in advance.

Qi Xiang stomped his feet, "My old Qi doesn't have this life, the lord wants to try my luck at the north gate, maybe I can catch a prince or something, or I can help Vice Marshal Li."

"If you want to make meritorious service, I won't stop you, you have to be careful, I think those fleeing officials have a lot of guards."

"I'm not afraid of this, just give me more grenades, that thing is easy to use."

Qi Xiang asked for some grenades and couldn't wait to leave with five hundred cavalry, and Ma Du led people to surround Emperor Zheng's luxurious tent. Several eunuchs who came out of the tent carrying wooden boxes were so frightened that they immediately threw down the boxes and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

The boxes were dumped on the ground, and a pile of treasures rolled out, all good things, all agate, jade, pearls, jade, and the most inconspicuous of all, gold, not even silver.

Madu asked, "How long has the Tartar Emperor been on the run?" ”

A eunuch said: "It's been almost an hour since the queen and the crown prince left, and the emperor has been gone for more than half an hour." ”

"What? Aren't they walking together yet? Hearing the eunuch say this, Ma Du was a little surprised.

"No, the queen and the crown prince took the cowardly Xue from the north gate first, and after about a stick of incense, the emperor left, and the servants watched them go to the west gate." It is estimated that it is to survive, and there is no need for Ma Du to ask this eunuch to take the initiative to take everything.

Ma Du couldn't help but snort, "The Tartar Emperor walked from the West Gate!" He slapped his head and thought that he was sure of nine out of ten, but now Li Wenzhong was afraid that he was going to pounce, "The Tartar Emperor is really not a fucking thing, he actually let his mother-in-law and children be a shield, but he ran away!" ”

The eunuch hesitated for a moment and explained to Ma Du: "General, you misunderstood, it was the queen and the crown prince who fled in a hurry and left the emperor behind. ”

Ma Du was really speechless about the eunuch's words, and when he was cleaning up the palace in Beiping, he could listen to Eunuch Wu tell a lot of stories that Emperor Zhizheng and Empress Qi could not tell.

From the fairy couple to the husband and wife, in the end, they are separated from each other, and now the moment of survival is also placed with Emperor Zhizheng, and Ma Du is a little sympathetic to Emperor Zheng. It seems that it is better to find a mother-in-law who is stupid and stupid, and Song Shuang's is good.

The wealth is moving, and the soldiers under him are staring at the things on the ground and swallowing saliva, and Ma Du is also very tempted. It's a pity that these things are so bad that he can't move, and it is not a big problem to reward the soldiers even if they go to Lao Zhu's side, and Lao Zhu himself often does this. On the contrary, if he dares to move, Lao Zhu will definitely write it down for him in a small notebook, and there must be a school inspection he has placed in the Shenji Camp.

"Don't stare at all the eyeballs, don't worry that Lao Tzu won't take a penny, but there will inevitably be things for the royal family, which will be selected and sent to Yingtian when the time comes, and you can send someone to the account to count them."

The dog said: "We can all trust the lord, let's count it yourself." ”

"Alright, you can send someone to follow me!" Ma Du looked at the few eunuchs on the ground, "How many boxes have you carried, tell me honestly, if you dare to lie, you know the end." ”

Several eunuchs hurriedly begged for mercy, "The general wronged the slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids only took this one box, and the other boxes were too heavy to be held." ”

Ma Du asked the soldiers to find Li Wenzhong and tell him the whereabouts of Emperor Zhizheng, as for whether he can catch it, it depends on his luck, and he was about to open the door curtain to enter the tent, when he suddenly remembered something, "What about the concubines of the Emperor of the Tartars?" ”

Li Wenzhong led 900 cavalry straight to the West Gate, and chased the horses wildly according to the direction indicated by the eyeliner, but he was able to rob some of the war horses of the Yuan soldiers when he was in the new opening of the ridge, and he took turns to ride all the way, and the horse's foot strength was acceptable.

At this time, he didn't care about the horses, and urged desperately all the way, and when he heard the sound of horses' hooves running in front of him in the dark night, he was not worried but happy, this was the other party to intercept him, and the sound was about two thousand.

According to the eyeliner, the other party is only 22,300 people, and sending 2,000 people to intercept him is obviously going to fight desperately, Li Wenzhong has no heart to entangle with the other party at this time.

He commanded his subordinates: "You take 800 men to meet the enemy, and I will lead 100 men to make a detour!" At that moment, Li Wenzhong took a hundred people, left the team and made a detour, regardless of the shouting and killing behind him.

Emperor Zhizheng also took care of his chest at this time, and desperately ran for his life on the horse, he only felt that his heart seemed to be beating to his throat, the green tendons on his neck were jumping, and his head was buzzing.

But there was another sound of horses' hooves behind him, and in the faint moonlight, he saw a bright army in armor less than two hundred paces behind him, and an unspeakable fear quickly spread throughout his body, giving him goosebumps.

Since the eleventh year of Zhizheng, the Xiuhe craftsmen broke out in an uprising, and he received the folk uprisings in various places every day, and the names of one after another thieves entered his eyes, Liu Futong, Han Lin'er, Sesame Li, Xu Shouhui, Peng Yingyu, Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen...... and then to Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang, and Ming Yuzhen.

He spent half of his life witnessing the growth of these rebels and thieves, watching them grow and rise from small forces, and those rebel leaders also called the king and the emperor and sat on an equal footing with him.

However, he was in the palace and in the temple, and felt that these people were far away from him, but just a string of words in the notebook. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang waved the Northern Expeditionary Army to point to Dadu, he didn't think it was terrible, but he just felt that it was a pity to lose Dadu.

If you come to Dadu, I will go to Shangdu, if you send troops to the grassland, I will go to the desert, and if you come and I go, I will always be able to hide. But at this moment, when the words on the notebook turned into a real appearance in front of his eyes by a warrior wielding a steel sword, an unspeakable fear rose in his heart.

It was the first time he had seen the thieves he was referring to in the recital, so close to him. Although he was a hundred paces behind him, he felt as if he was close at hand, and as long as the steel knife was swung, it would kill him.

He was terrified to the extreme, but calmed down, and suddenly his heart was not panicked and he couldn't breathe, he bit his mouth and said to Dai Qin fiercely: "Take all the people and kill them all!" ”
