Chapter 32: What's Flying in the Sky?
Just like the last time he besieged Beijing without blood, Li Zicheng also came to Beijing without blood this time.
Only this time, strange! Embarrassed! Timid!
Last time, wherever Li Zicheng's army went, the army opened the door and surrendered. And this time, after Li Zicheng entered Beizhili, he also opened the door, but it was not a surrender, but an empty city!
What is Chongzhen doing, it turns out that the entire Beizhili is an empty city! O army of 500,000, what to eat! Li Zicheng has never had the concept of food and grass before the soldiers and horses are moved, and he has always fought wherever he eats! Fellow, don't run, King Chuang came and didn't pay for food, so he ate all the big households! Originally, large households were able to rely on their stock to annex the land of small households, so that the poor could be saddled with usury. But Li Zicheng ate up all the big households, and the poor had no choice but to become a rogue if they wanted to sell their fields and borrow usury. There is a lot of food in the Liukou!
"Tang Tong, look what's going on" Li Zicheng called Tang Tong over and asked
This Tang Tong was originally the general soldier of Miyun, Li Zicheng was named Dingxi Bo by Chongzhen when he besieged Beijing last time, and guarded Juyong Pass, but this Tang Tong surrendered Li Zicheng with Du Zhizhi, the eunuch of the prison army, Li Zicheng also knew that he was bringing a group of inexperienced peasant army, Tang Tong brought the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, and he also reused this Tang Tong, and later Li Zicheng was named the king of Han, Tang Tong thought that he would definitely be beheaded by Chongzhen, so he begged Li Zicheng to take him in.
"King Han, this is Chongzhen who is afraid of us, and the wall is clear."
"Kiyono Fortified?"
"That is, Chongzhen decided that we have no military rations, and we can't hold on for long, so we will transport all the food to the city, if we can't attack Beijing City in the short term, we will be defeated because of the lack of military rations, King Han doesn't have to worry, as long as we insist on getting to the capital, Chongzhen doesn't give military salaries and rations, we will attack the city immediately! Now that Zhu Yousong is in charge of Nanjing, we don't have to worry about the Ming army in Nanjing to support Chongzhen, and this Beijing city Chongzhen is also the newly recruited 100,000 soldiers and horses of Tianziwei, and our 500,000 army, attacking a small Beijing city! "Tang Tongbing was born in a family, of course he knows that this is a strong wall and a clear field, 100,000 against 500,000, and all that can be done is a strong wall and a clear field!
Li Zicheng felt that Tang Tong was reasonable, he didn't bring much military rations, and he wanted to encourage the soldiers to hurry up to Beijing and then attack the city!
"Soldiers! Persist in persistence! This time we entered the city of Beijing, and the king gave all the palace maids of Chongzhen to you, and everyone was added to the official rank! ”
"Long live King Han!"
"Long live King Han!"
......
The soldiers close to Li Zicheng are shouting, but more people are becoming more and more unambitious, and now they can eat less and less, when they rebelled, they rebelled because they couldn't eat enough, and now they can't eat enough, and they still have a fart ambition!
Also, some rumors began to spread in the army, saying that Chongzhen is the true son of heaven, Li Zicheng is the person who was punished by heaven, and the drought in Shaanxi is the Shaanxi peasants who followed the king of Han in order to condemn Li Zicheng, and what happened to them after the king of Han was sealed is retribution!
Also, I heard that the emperor is also going to engage in Juntian, this Han King always said that Juntian Juntian, but not Juntian, now the emperor wants Juntian, we want to go back to farming, anyway, I can't eat enough with the Han King, it is better to go back to farming. This war will kill people, it will really kill people!
So, can Li Zicheng's soldiers still have ambition? The people in the back row are dying! Looking at the people in front of him shouting slogans, he couldn't help shouting......
Soon, the rumors reached Li Zicheng's ears.
"Check, whoever passed it out, this king will break him into ten thousand pieces! Whoever is biting the root of the mouth, cut it immediately! ”
But the 500,000 army, on the way to the march, is composed of homeless people, you don't know me, I don't know you, no matter what you check, in the end you can only stop it.
Li Zicheng is really a nest fire, you Chongzhen is the Son of Heaven, and I, Li Zicheng, am a person of heaven's curse! I believe in you a ball! You still want to engage in Juntian and disturb the morale of this king's soldiers! When the king arrives in Beijing, chop your Chongzhen into meat sauce and make it into a Chongzhen banquet!
MMP, that Fulu feast is really delicious!
"King Han, we caught a man on the way"
"Bring it on!" You can still catch people along the way, but you haven't met anyone else along the way, so what can you catch people.
After a while, the guard threw a thief-eyed man in front of Li Zicheng's eyes.
"Don't kneel down when you see King Han!"
"What's your name, where have all the people around here gone?"
"Back to the king, the villain's name is Zhao Si, the emperor... The emperor said that he wanted to ....... Throw it from the sky...... Bounce it down and let it ...... Let everyone go to the capital with all the food......" Zhao Si said with a winch, along the way, he really didn't see anyone, and then he saw the army of Hao Hao Tangtang!
Li Zicheng heard that he was looking for death! In these years, there are still people who call for death, why are you so cowardly looking for death?
"Nonsense! Bombs can fall from the sky! Then why are you still here! ”
"Villain....... Villain....... The villain is ......." Zhao Siyu hesitated, to tell the truth or not to tell the truth, to tell the truth will be killed.
This Zhao Si was originally a death row prisoner, and after Chongzhen killed Liu Zongmin, he knew that Li Zicheng would come to attack Beijing again, so he asked the officials to inform the residents of Henan who led to the capital that the Qing demon and the Liukou were coming, and the emperor asked everyone to quickly enter the city and hide. Then let the officials take all the prisoners on death row to watch the performance of throwing bombs in hot air balloons, and after watching them, they were still outside the city, and told them that if anyone asked them why there was no one, they would tell the truth that the emperor was going to drop bombs from the sky, and all the people would go to the capital with food.
"You're here to disturb the morale of the army, come on, pull it out and kill it!" Li Zicheng saw that Zhao Si hesitated and did not explain why he appeared here, and decided that Zhao Si was sent by Chongzhen to disturb the morale of the army!
"The king spares his life, what the villain saw with his own eyes is true, the emperor can really drop bombs from the sky!"
"Drag it out, cut it!"
Do you think this king is easy to deceive? Chongzhen can also drop bombs from the sky, Chongzhen can really go to the sky, deceive the ghosts!
This poor Zhao Si, as his name suggests, is looking for death. Wrong, wrong, in fact, it's not pitiful, he was originally a death row inmate.
He originally wanted to leave Beizhili along this road that left his regular routine, but he didn't expect to run into Li Zicheng!
"King Han, another person has been caught"
"Interrogated?"
"Interrogated, and...... It's the same as what Zhao Si said."
"Slashed!" Li Zicheng said without hesitation
Chongzhen, Chongzhen, play this trick with me! Will I be afraid? I am a person who has even eaten human flesh, and I, Li Zicheng, will believe in ghosts and gods?
"Soldiers, don't listen to those rumors, they are all rumors to confuse the public, and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning! This king laid down the city of Beijing, each person was rewarded with ten taels of silver, ten acres of land, a woman, the woman of Beijing City is much more beautiful than the woman of the Northwest, and the wine of the Beijing City is better than the wine of the Northwest! ”
Li Zicheng couldn't help sighing, alas, regretting killing Li Yan.
This Li Yan is a good hand at engaging in public opinion, without Li Yan, the ambition of the soldiers will be reduced by half! This bull Venus, nothing!
Finally, Li Zicheng's army came to the outside of Xuanwumen in a daze.
"Look, what's that one in the sky?"
"Is it a god descending to earth?"
"It looks like it's going to smoke"
Li Zicheng's soldiers pointed to the hot air balloon in the sky and said.
Li Zicheng also noticed the hot air balloon in the sky, how could there be such a thing in the sky above Beijing City? Is this thing really here to help Chongzhen? Is what Zhao Si said true? Drop bombs from above, what do I hit, it's no wonder that my people are not scared to death! This Chongzhen is a monster!
"Tang Tong, what's that one in the sky?"
"The last general...... The end will not know...... The last general has never seen it," Tang Tong was also stunned when he saw the hot air balloon in the sky!
A few months ago, he was also from this capital, and he hadn't seen it before! What is flying in the sky?
