Chapter 263: Breaking Runing Mansion

Chongzhen was assassinated in the imperial city, although this matter was carefully blocked, but there is no impermeable wall in this world. And it is such a big thing, the brunt of it was spread among those ministers who were originally panicked, and then gradually spread to the mouths of the people.

The worst thing is that the assassin has not been caught, and now those ministers are even more reluctant to step through the door, hiding in their own mansions and refusing to show up. It just so happened that the palace was already under martial law, and the early dynasty did not need to be on it.

When such a big thing happened in Jingshi, the spies arranged by Mao Wenlong in Jingshi immediately knew about it, and then the news spread to Ye County. When Mao Wenlong learned about it, he was not happy at all, but fortunately the worst situation did not happen.

Chongzhen was only slightly injured in the end, and there was no major problem, but although Adou hadn't heard of being caught so far, he was obviously still trapped in the imperial city and couldn't get out for a while.

In short, the situation did not deteriorate as Mao Wenlong predicted, and he could breathe a sigh of relief. And he also got the news that Lu Xiangsheng's army did not enter Henan immediately, but was still stationed in the same place.

As for the reason, Mao Wenlong also sent someone to investigate, it seems that it is for the shortage of grain and grass. Now Lu Xiangsheng is frequently walking around the local officials' mansions, and he is trying to prepare food.

This was a good opportunity, and Mao Wenlong immediately gave Chen Jisheng an order to take the opportunity to take Runing Mansion.

Chen Jisheng's army had already been assembled, and he was just waiting for Mao Wenlong's order. On the day he received the order, he notified the 10,000 troops of Guide Mansion to directly dispatch 60,000 troops at noon on the same day, and the troops were divided into two routes to directly attack Runing Mansion.

The people of Runing Mansion were already panicking, and they had heard that Lu Xiangsheng had gathered a large army to support, but the final result was that Lu Xiangsheng stopped because the army lacked food, so he stayed where he was.

This also means that reinforcements can't come, Runing Mansion is still a lonely city surrounded by the Dongjiang army, and the army in the city is disheartened. Faced with the embarrassing situation of unsustainable food, he could not resist the attack of the Dongjiang Army at all.

Even before the Dongjiang army moved, many of the defenders in the city had begun to abscond, and after the prefect of Runing Mansion learned about it, he issued a strict order, and the fugitives were killed, and after killing chickens and monkeys and cutting down more than a dozen soldiers who had the intention to escape, the morale of the army was temporarily stabilized.

Although the soldiers no longer fled, the military rations in the city could not be sustained, and Runing Mansion was heavily surrounded, and it was impossible to allocate military rations from the outside. Over time, a real rebellion will inevitably set off.

When the prefect and the defender general were in a hurry, bad news came, and the Dongjiang army began to attack Runing Mansion.

On the upper floor of Runing Mansion, the prefect and the defender general looked at the rolling army, their faces were gloomy, and a deep sense of powerlessness arose.

There were no reinforcements, and the court did not give any explanation, and the two also heard about the emperor's suffering from assassins. The battle does not need to be fought, and it is already clear that it will be lost, but the heart of the loyal monarch does not die, and the two of them also plan to live and die with Runing Mansion City.

"Boom ......"

In the roaring war, the city gate of Runing Mansion collapsed, and tens of thousands of Dongjiang troops began to rush into the city.

Runing Mansion City is finally broken!

It took less than half a day for the Dongjiang Army to attack the city of Runing Mansion in the evening of the same day.

Chen Jisheng led his troops to surround the government in the city, and the prefect and the guards with the yacha and the loyal two hundred guards were still resisting desperately.

"General, the resistance in the palace is too stubborn, and if we continue to attack like this, there will be a lot ......of casualties," an adjutant general said to Chen Jisheng, who was supervising the battle.

"Bring the cannons on the city wall, his grandmother's, Lao Tzu will directly bombard them into the sky." Chen Jisheng looked fierce and gave vicious orders to the lieutenant general.

The adjutant general was overjoyed, and he immediately gave the order, and half an hour later, twenty cannons were aimed directly at the palace.

"Shoot ......"

Chen Jisheng gave an order, and twenty cannons began to roar.

In the roaring artillery fire, the small front yard of the government office became a pile of ruins.

The officers and soldiers who resisted stubbornly inside were immediately killed and wounded, and the screams and wails spread throughout the sky of Runing Mansion.

"Continue ......"

Chen Jisheng turned a blind eye to the tragic situation of those officers and soldiers, and still ordered another bombardment, until the entire government was razed to the ground.

After the artillery fire stopped, the Dongjiang army rushed forward and killed all these enemy troops who refused to surrender and stubbornly resisted, without the slightest mercy. In the end, the chickens and dogs in the entire government were not left, and even those subordinates or maidservants who were lucky enough to survive were not spared.

Chen Jisheng is so ruthless, firstly, for those subordinates who died in battle, and secondly, to deter others. Only such iron-blooded means on the battlefield can quell these senseless resistance as quickly as possible.

After the last resisting force of the government was cleared, Runing Mansion was able to calm down, and Chen Jisheng could be ruthless against the officers and soldiers. But to the people of the city, he restrained all his men, and did not stretch out his hand to the people.

As long as you are sure that you are not an official or a person from a famous family, you can be safe. And those who are suspected have all been arrested and will be verified later.

The city of Runing Mansion was breached, and the news reached Jingshi, Chongzhen was furious again, but there was nothing he could do. Before the aftermath of the Assassins had passed, he received a recital from the border pass, saying that the Houjin army had once again assembled a large army and was preparing to plunder the Ming Dynasty again.

Moreover, the large peasant army stationed in Gansu also seemed to see the opportunity and rose up one after another, and the whole of Gansu has now fallen into the hands of the peasant army.

Looking at the Tang newspapers and recitals sent from all over the country, Chongzhen was so angry that he slapped the table, and there was no good news, all bad news.

Chongzhen vented enough, so he asked Wu Chengen beside him coldly: "How is Lu Xiangsheng's military rations progressing?" ”

A trace of helplessness flashed in Wu Chengen's eyes, and he replied: "Your Majesty, Governor Lu's grain is progressing slowly, and the 100,000 army is now hungry and barely living. ”

Chongzhen hesitated for a moment, and said viciously: "No matter, now order him, immediately divide 50,000 troops to resist the Houjin army." The remaining 50,000 troops rushed to Gansu to calm down the confusion first. Remember that there is no need to recruit an this time, and all those who dare to oppose the court will be killed. ”

Speaking of the back, Chongzhen almost roared out, making Wu Chengen feel terrified. Knowing that Chongzhen was about to lose his mind at this moment, Wu Chengen didn't dare to say more, and no longer mentioned the war in Henan, so he hurriedly agreed, and left the imperial study to arrange Chongzhen's order.

Internal and external troubles have exhausted Chongzhen, the emperor, and as soon as Wu Chengen left, he should sit on the dragon chair weakly.
