It's down!

The sudden news echoed on the battlefield with the shouts of the heralds.

The Don army has surrendered!

The Don army has surrendered!

For those loyal officers and soldiers who were preparing to launch the last attack on the Tang army, they were stunned at first, and then they all laughed.

It turned out to be so easy.

Originally, they thought that there would be a bitter battle waiting for them. But no one thought of it. Victory is so that it is within reach.

The Don army has surrendered!

When the news reached Zhu Mingzhong, he only raised his eyes slightly.

"Li Ziyuan?"

The reason why this person was asked was because he did not believe that this person would surrender so easily. According to what he knows, even if Li Ziyuan is defeated, he will find a way to escape, and then become a rogue and harm the place.

And this is also the reason why Zhu Mingzhong set a trap for him.

Would he surrender so easily?

"Back to the king, Zhu Yingsheng, who joined the Tang army, said that Li Thief was killed by a righteous man last night......"

He's dead...... Sure enough, it's as light as a feather.

The so-called hero lost his life in such a daze, and it can be said that the nest has reached the extreme. But now Zhu Mingzhong doesn't care about how he died.

As soon as he died, there was no need to worry about what he had feared the most. It's impossible to come back to life and become a rogue, and it's a good thing that he's dead now.

Since then, the world has been peaceful.

For Li Dingguo and others, Zhu Mingzhong is not worried, they must face this reality no matter what. If they refuse to face it, then ...... It's nothing more than a crusade against the army.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Mingzhong said "oh", without revealing any emotion, as if Li Ziyuan's death was a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning, but it was indeed not worth mentioning, and then said.

"Okay, let's get ready to enter Beijing!"

Now everything doesn't matter. The important thing is to go to the capital. A new era has begun.

Zhu Mingzhong saw Li Ziyuan's body in Tongzhou, looked at the bloody hole in his neck, and looked at Li Ziyuan, who had no life.

"A drink and a peck, at ease, if it weren't for his evil yesterday, how could he have what happened today? If he hadn't betrayed Gu in Nanjing, how could he have ended up where he is today? ”

Zhu Mingzhong smiled coldly, and said with Zhu Yingsheng, who was kneeling on the ground, on his back.

"Actually, after the soldiers besieged Tongzhou or the capital, he always met him, Li Ziyuan ......"

Staring at this corpse, I haven't seen him in years.

"He is indeed a thief, but he does have his advantages, as far as military training is concerned, but he only has to be lonely, he can train today's Tang Army, he does have his superiority......"

Li Ziyuan's Tang Army's combat effectiveness was not much worse than that of the Loyal and Righteous Army, which was almost a natural thing, and in Nanjing that year, he took away hundreds of people, all of whom were officials of the Loyal and Righteous Army, and the first batch of Loyal and Righteous Army were trained by them, and they were also trained by Zhu Mingzhong.

Later, after the Loyal and Righteous Army was completely weaponized, although Li Ziyuan did not have enough firearms, he still took the initiative to learn from the Loyal and Righteous Army, and imitated the Loyal and Righteous Army as much as possible. But even so, the limitations of the times still limit Li Ziyuan's vision, and I am afraid that he will not know why he lost until he dies.

"Yes...... King Chu is always defeated! ”

As the servant of the king of Chu, Zhu Yingsheng must speak for the old master.

"Until the king of Chu died, he didn't think about why he would be defeated."

"Because he can't see through it!"

Staring at the corpse on the bed, Zhu Mingzhong sneered.

Back then, in Nanjing, he thought that as long as he persuaded the military officials, he could take the loyal and righteous army away, and he could make Gu a lonely person, but what was the result? During his Northern Expedition, if he could see through the facts and not be confused by power, how could he go against the grain? is the defeat of this army, if he can wake up early, how can he lose his troops like this? He thought that by learning to train alone, he would be able to run rampant in the world and defeat ...... alone."

Sneering, Zhu Mingzhong no longer looked at Li Ziyuan's corpse, he turned around and looked at Zhu Yingsheng who was kneeling on the ground.

"But he didn't know that his greed had already doomed him to where he is today!"

Greedy!

That's right, Li Ziyuan has always been too greedy, whether it is in Nanjing or Beijing, or in this decisive battle, his greed has ruined all his hopes.

The words of King Huai came into Zhu Yingsheng's ears, like thunder, in horror he compared King Huai and King Chu in his mind, and he immediately found the biggest difference between the two, compared to Li Ziyuan's extreme greed, he was eager for power and wanted to have everything, so he betrayed Zhu Mingzhong and Zhang Huangyan, and intended to usurp the throne. And what about King Huai?

He can not take the credit of Nanjing, after defeating Jiangbei, he wrote the surname of the country as a subordinate, even if he welcomed back the imperial court, he did not coerce the Son of Heaven, and even during the Northern Expedition, he could also give the first credit to others.

Li Ziyuan is greedy, what about King Huai?

Thinking in his heart, he seemed to understand a lot at this moment, and he knew why King Zhonghuai could have today's success.

Because he always knows what he needs to get every time.

Conquered Nanjing, he was for the Northern Expedition, as long as the Northern Expedition was successful, what did personal gains and losses matter? The purpose of laying Jiangbei is to establish oneself, as long as there is a place to stand, who is the minister of the people, and what does it matter? The purpose of welcoming back to the imperial court is to be self-reliant, and since it is self-reliant, why should it be notorious?

As for the later Northern Expedition...... With the wisdom of King Huai, how could he not know that Li Chu was greedy, and did he not know that he would kill the king and usurp the throne, so he would give up the imperial court, so ......

Finally, all the things that I didn't understand were understood at this moment.

Zhu Yingsheng knew, he knew that from the beginning, King Huai had expected today, only he thought he was smart, he thought he could assist King Chu, and he thought that King Chu's defeat today was because Xu Yuncheng was too maneuvering, but he didn't know that in fact, he was destined today from the beginning.

From the very beginning, King Huai watched Li Ziyuan go to a dead end step by step, and even the original willingness to take out money to support King Chu's Northern Expedition was just a trap.

A trap that leads the King of Chu to a dead end!

And who will benefit from this trap?

King Huai!

From now on, who can still stop King Huai?

No one anymore!

The Fujian family has all returned to Huai, and Zhang Huangyan has been willing to be his minister, and he is cleaning up the aftermath in Nanjing, Li Dingguo...... How could Li Dingguo, who was favored by King Huai, rebel against the Ming Dynasty, after all, King Huai was no longer King Huai.

Finally, Zhu Yingsheng understood everything, and the things that had been confusing had already been figured out at this time, and he smiled bitterly.

"King, presumably the Southwest Hong clan and others must be difficult to live!"

The reason why he asked this question was actually to confirm a question.

"The crime of the Hong clan should be punished by the ...... of the nine clans"

Zhu Mingzhong didn't give him a direct answer, but only gave him a vague answer, but even so, it was enough.

After the answer was confirmed, Zhu Yingsheng finally understood that Li Ziyuan was defeated as a matter of course, and he died in a daze, he didn't know that everything was doomed from the beginning!

If Zhu Yingsheng once suspected that King Huai was not the heir of Emperor Xiaolie, then now, he no longer doubts. The king in front of him always knew what he wanted, what he wanted, and now, he got it.

As for the others, they are just stepping stones, if some stepping stones want to rebound one or two, they are just chaotic ministers and thieves!

That's it...... That's all!

Kill the king and usurp the throne!

Rebels and thieves!

Since the Jiashen period, although the first four words are fresh, but the four words in the later generations, the people of the world have seen too much.

Li Ziyuan killed the monarch and usurped the throne!

This is a well-known thing, even if he denies it, it is useless, and the evidence is ironclad...... Although there is no, but everyone is gold, and everyone in the world recognizes this thing, who can say a word?

Since a few days ago, Li Ziyuan, who proclaimed himself the king of Tang and was ready to ascend to the pole in the coming year, led his troops to leave the Beijing Division, although there were still tens of thousands of Tang troops in this Beijing Division, but there was also a group of Ming bureaucrats who originally surrendered to the "Tang Rebellion" who automatically stood up, of course, they did not stand up to take the city, not to mention that they were unarmed, even if they were given weapons, they might not necessarily have that courage. However, scholars have never disdained the courage of their husbands, they naturally have their own methods, such as posting notices in private, spreading news, in short, telling others that Li Ziyuan is a thief, Tang is a rebel, and as for Ming...... King Huai is the third son of Emperor Lie, after Chongzhen, although he is now a prisoner, he is the most orthodox heir to the throne of the Ming Dynasty.

For a time, in this Beijing division, although the Tang army was still patrolling the streets with guns and knives, the sergeants and people in this city were all looking forward to the victory of the Ming Dynasty, and then quickly take the capital, and then the Ming Emperor ascended to the pole.

In this way, the world will be peaceful!

In fact, for the surname of the world, the vast majority of the people do not have any feelings, for them, they often prefer to live a peaceful life, over the years, the court seems to be changing, the people who have long been fed up with the troubled times, naturally hope that the world is peaceful.

On the afternoon of the ninth day of the first month of December, it was only a blink of an eye, and the news had already spread throughout the city -- Tang was defeated at the Shanhaiguan Army, and there was not one of the tens of thousands of troops left, and the loyal and righteous soldiers led by the supervisor would arrive outside the Beijing division in a few days, and said that the supervisor had a license to ask the officials and people of the Beijing division to go out of Chaoyang Gate tomorrow morning to pick up the driver.

In fact, no one has seen the card, but it is just a false rumor, as if this news is true, after all, everyone must know that the so-called "Huai Wang" is actually the third prince of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Cijiong, he is the son of Emperor Lie and Empress Zhou, and the bloodline is by no means comparable to ordinary clan relatives, he has now defeated the traitor, and will return to Beijing in the near future, and from then on he will restore the Ming Dynasty, which is really a normal thing.

The fathers and common people in the city were originally very nostalgic for the more than 270 years of the Ming Dynasty, and they were extremely resistant to the enslavement of the Manchu Dynasty. Now once they heard that the king of Ding, Zhu Cijiong, led the troops to victory, and was about to return to Beijing to inherit the throne and rebuild the Ming Dynasty, many people were naturally overjoyed and sad, and they actually cried bitterly.

I don't know how many people consciously rushed to make a white turban, ready to wear filial piety for the first emperor and queen again, after all, everyone knows that after King Ding returns to the capital, as a son of man, he must be the first emperor, successively wear filial piety, as a common people, they should also wear filial piety for the monarch's father.

Some of the people also made an appointment and came to the vicinity of the coal mountain, where they burned money paper, lit candles, and sent incense. It was there that the first emperor was martyred. At this time, no one remembered that there were still tens of thousands of Tang troops in the city, and no one seemed to take them seriously.

Compared with the people in the outer city, in the inner city, it is a chaos here, after all, most of the people living in the inner city are the families of the officials and generals in the Tang Wang's palace, after the news of the Tang King's fiasco, they all became frightened, they were not only worried about the safety of the men, but also worried about their own safety. In short, at this time, the Jingshi seems to be calm, but in fact, it is an undercurrent, especially in this inner city, those officials who stayed here are facing this sudden fiasco with various moods.

"Defeated!"

Sun Xingping looked at Jin Wenbo and the others who visited, his expression was depressed, and the whole person looked a little panicked, no wonder he was like this.

King Tang is defeated!

An army of more than 100,000 will not survive one out of ten!

What happens then?

Then King Huai ...... No, the prison will lead the troops to fight in Beijing, even if he escapes, then in the future he will just flee like a thief. In the end, it is not still the death of the clan.

For him, who is accustomed to fine clothes and food, he is not willing to live like that. Is it just that he has a choice? At this time, he couldn't help but regret why he had to be blinded by lard in the first place, but got on Li Ziyuan's thief ship? If you have been by the side of the prison country, how can you ...... At that time, who knew that his surname Zhu was actually the true son of heaven and the son of the first emperor!

This life......

"And what is the general going to do?"

Jin Wenbo asked tentatively, after the last time he sent grain, he stayed in the capital, stayed in Li Ziyuan's shogunate, and now, he was glad that he had made the original choice, after all, he was still alive, when Zheng Zhilong was assassinated by the late King of Fujian, in order to please King Huai, Wanli copied eight families and killed all the men of the eight families.

"What should I do?"

Looking up at Jin Wenbo, Sun Xingping smiled bitterly.

"Old Jin, apart from you, I'm afraid there are few living people in your Jin family!"

His words made Jin Wenbo smile bitterly, although he was alive, he was inevitably still a little sentimental when he thought of killing more than a thousand people in the Jin family.

"It's all fate, you and I are small people, when the dynasty changes, if you are not careful, let alone yourself, even the life of your family, I'm afraid you can't save it."

With such a long sigh, Sun Xingping picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in annoyance, and then muttered to himself.

"Back then, when he was in the Houjin camp, Jian Guo also swore to share wealth with someone Sun, but it's a pity that this eye was blinded by lard, and the surname Li Sanyan was deceived, otherwise...... If not, what now? ”

Everyone listened to his words, all of them looked sad, they all bet on the wrong treasure, but they were not as wrong as Sun Xingping, they, they still have a way out, in fact, the reason why they came here is to find out Sun Xingping's plans, if possible, this Jingshi is still good to dedicate, and they must not make a big move, otherwise, not only will they die, but more importantly, they will not have the credit of dedicating the city.

"General, in fact, ......"

Among the crowd, Li Huaxi, who was not very conspicuous, looked at Sun Xingping and said this, and immediately said to the side.

"Actually, the general is not without a choice, if the general can abandon the darkness and turn to the light! The prison will surely remember the general's merits in the future,"

Li Huaxi looked a little nervous, he took the lead in persuading him at the beginning, if the prison came and he would be investigated, even if he didn't lose his head, he would definitely have to take off the black yarn, which he hadn't worn enough.

"That is, that is, the prison country is benevolent and righteous, and the whole world knows that if the general abandons the darkness and turns to the light, the prison country will definitely not be blamed in the past!"

As soon as the others heard that Li Huaxi came forward to lobby, they immediately followed him to persuade Sun Xingping to abandon the secret and turn to the light, and in the face of everyone's lobbying, Sun Xingping hesitated for a moment, and then said.

"Will the prison and the king of prisons really be blamed in the past?"

Will it really be the past?

Although he said so, Jin Wenbo had no bottom in his heart, who knew about the prison country? Why did Wanli of Fuzhou order to copy all the eight families and kill all the people of the eight families after knowing that the Zheng family was merging with Huai.

Is it for money?

Although when Jin Wenbo saw in the newspaper that Wan Li had handed over more than 13 million taels of silver and more than 200 taels of gold to King Huai, he ridiculed the greed of Wan Li and others, after all, even the Jin family had more than this amount of money. But on the other hand, he knew that Wan Li and the others would never copy the eight families for money, they used the heads of the eight families to show loyalty to King Huai. The people of the Zhu family...... Thinking of the actions of the Zhu family in the history of the Emperor and Ming Dynasty, in the lobbying of everyone, Jin Wenbo said directly.

"The general can kill the Li clan, such an old mistake must be redeemed!"

Jin Wenbo's tone was calm, without the slightest emotion at all, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning, but his proposal made everyone's eyes light up.

What could be more pleasing to the new master than using the heads of the Li family as a vote?

In the "benevolence and righteousness" of King Huai, he must "can't bear to" kill the women and children of the Li family, but it is not a good thing for such a person to live.

It's just that......

"This ......"

Sun Xingping became hesitant, he knew that this petition was the best choice, but Li Ziyuan was always kind to him.

"General, for the safety of the 200,000 people in Beijing, and for the people of Beijing to avoid the catastrophe of fire, please make up your mind as soon as possible!"

Li Huaxi, who took the initiative to stand up, did not say that the head of the Li family was related to everyone's wealth, but pushed everything on the people in the city, and the reason why they chose to surrender was also for the people in the city, for the safety of the people, not for themselves!
