Chapter 596. Reunion

Li Zicheng in history is miserable enough, a typical professional family for wedding dresses. He destroyed the Ming Dynasty and paved the way for the Qing army, but after the battle of Shanhaiguan, he still had a bit of the capital to turn the tables, he left 600,000 to 100,000 people in Beijing, and there were more than 100,000 troops guarding the nine sides, 230,000 troops in Henan, 100,000 troops in Shaanxi, and Huguang also had 1670,000 people to confront Zuo Liangyu, and after returning to Beijing, Li Zicheng was immediately officially proclaimed emperor, and after a day of emperor addiction.

But in this time and space with Mao Jue, Li Zicheng is not the worst, only worse, his army of more than 700,000 was swallowed up by the huge mouth of Liaozhen in front of Shanhaiguan, especially in order to break through Sun Chuanting's position, the elite of the Dashun army basically rushed to the front, he did not cut Mao Jue into two sections, but was divided into several pieces by Mao Jue's cavalry, and the vast majority of those killed were the elite troops that Li Zicheng had accumulated for many years.

Defeated all the way back from Shanhaiguan, there was the pursuit of the five brothers of the Liu family behind him, and when he arrived at the city of Jingshi, there were about 60,000 troops left in the Shun army, but he originally wanted to take away the big silver left in Beijing, but Li Zicheng, who returned to Huguangshan and made a comeback, vomited blood and found that Jingshi was also lost.

Dongjiang is not only the army, the sailor is also a fierce force, but the battle of Shanhaiguan is more than 20 kilometers away from the sea, these behemoths can not climb ashore, make the best use of things, Mao Jue sent his army to raid the hometown, the news of the defeat of the Dashun army in June all the way to the mouth of Zhigu with flying pigeons, just the day before Li Zicheng rushed back to Beijing, more than 15,000 sailors recaptured Beijing.

Facing the blue robe of the sailor and the dense flintlock pistol shaking on the city wall, Li Zicheng, who lost his mind in anger, ordered the siege of the city, but the Dashun army, which had lost all its heavy weapons, in addition to being a target under the city, could not help the huge mountain of the sailor corps, and wandered for about half a day, Li Zicheng was helpless and fled south.

So what greeted Mao Jue was a relatively complete Beijing teacher.

"Knock on the Liao King Chitose!"

Just like welcoming Li Zicheng, Jingshi ushered in his new master, at the gate of Desheng in the north, the commander of Jinyiwei made Luo Yangxing with the remnants of a dozen nobles tremblingly waiting for Mao Jue's drive.

The backbone of the Ming Dynasty officials seemed to be almost broken to them, and the leading cavalry had just passed, and the dozen or so nobles knelt directly in front of Mao Jue's war horse, and slammed their heads on the ground.

The majesty of the leader has to be brought out by his subordinates, and this Mao Jue hasn't waited for him to speak! Song's head, which happened to converge at Jingkou, was already menacing, and he scolded it first.

"Who are you? When the king of Liao entered Beijing, why didn't the hundred officials come to worship and rebel? ”

Everyone is a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, when did not worship the King of Liao become a great crime of rebellion? However, the situation was pressing, and looking at Mao Jue's face was also gloomy, the leader of the Jinyi Guard, who had made hundreds of officials tremble, trembled with fright, and hurriedly smashed his head on the ground again.

"Lord Hui, the hundred officials have already knelt at the noon gate to welcome the King of Liao!"

Most of these former Ming officials are complete villains, and they can't have a good face for villains, and their gloomy faces paused for half a minute, and Mao Jue snorted impatiently.

"Lead the way!"

"Obedience!"

As if he had picked up an ingot, he hurriedly kowtowed, and Luo Yangxing hurriedly led the way in front.

Liu Xingqi's Dongjiang cavalry team as the lead, the Yizhou cavalry followed, followed by the Yizhou corps infantry carrying neat bayonets, compared to the "circus" of the Dashun army, the Dongjiang army looked neat like a train of machines walking on the railroad tracks, but the last time the Dashun army entered the city caused too heavy losses to the residents of Jingshi, there were palpitations, the houses on both sides of the road were all closed doors, and a pair of timid eyes looked carefully through the cracks in the door.

Luo Yangxing didn't have the courage to deceive Mao Jue, and sure enough, in the big square at the entrance of Zhengyang, the ministers who took out the Daming officials from the garbage heap stood densely on both sides of the queue, and when they saw the arrival of the leading cavalry, these ministers also threw off their sleeves and knelt on the ground one after another.

However, the sound of these ministers bowing down made Mao Jue and other important ministers of Liaodong change color.

"The ministers knock on the prince Chitose Chitose!"

Although Yingli Prince is one of Liaozhen's strategies, anyone with a discerning eye knows who is the real ruler at this time, this Mao Jue entered the city and called the prince in front of him, obviously giving Mao Jue a dismount.

Especially seeing that the horse team was silent, Shen Weibing, the former servant of the Ministry of Officials, also moved his two legs that were kneeling on the ground and rubbed them forward, and asked with a fist on his knees.

"The commander of the law to greet the prince, I don't know where His Royal Highness the prince is?"

Mao Jue couldn't help sneering in his heart, how was the little abacus made by Ming Guan'er in this class before he was a mirror in his heart, and he wanted to exclude Liaozhen in the name of the prince, and he was really bullied into being a righteous man? thought that Li Zicheng would kill people, but he Mao Jue wouldn't be able to use a knife?

It just so happened that this Shen Weishan showed his head and became a bird, and glanced at him arrogantly, but Mao Jue immediately turned his head and asked Song Xiance behind him.

"This time the Ming Dynasty is in trouble, the Beijing division has fallen, what are the traitors to the enemy, rude and shameless ministers, have Jinyi Wei ever decided?"

At the mention of Jin Yiwei, Luo Yangxing's eyelids jumped obviously, but before he could speak, Song Xiance had already responded slowly with his fists in a hurry.

"Back to the King of Liao! The subordinates are all clear! The person headed by this second minister is none other than Shen Weibing, the former servant of the Ministry of Officials, this person is extremely shameless! When the Li thief occupied the Beijing Division, he took the lead in flattering the Li thief, Zeng Qingyi made a small hat to ask the thief for an official in the form of a servant, and successively offered 90,000 taels of silver to Li Qiang, which can be described as a crime that cannot be punished!"

Listening to Song Xiance's words, Shen Weibing, who was kneeling in front, had a dark face, one arm trembled uncontrollably, and his fingers trembled and pointed at Song Xiance's head, stumbling to distinguish it.

"Nonsense! That's nonsense!"

"So you're Shen Weibing? Lone asks you, when Li Chuang was recruiting officials, did you ever apply? ”

"This ......"

"You offer silver to Li Chuang, is there anything to do?"

"That's, that's a thief...... Force, force!"

At the beginning of the change of dynasty, who didn't want to seek an official position in the new dynasty? There is also Liu Zongmin's handcuffs, and he can't deny it if he wants to, but when he gets here, it has become ironclad evidence of his crimes, Mao Jue's face changed directly, and he slapped him gloomily.

"Such disloyalty and injustice, betraying the king for glory! Now Tian is still shameless, and the villain of hypocrisy and hypocrisy is simply unforgivable! Come! Take it!"

The guards on both sides broke out suddenly, and in this Shen Weibing's trembling, he dragged his old arms and shoulders down, and at this moment, the old guy finally opened his mind, and kept lowering his head and asking for mercy.

"King Liao spares his life! The King of Liao spares his life! ”

The gun shot the first bird, what is needed is to slaughter a batch of negative examples, who let him bump into this, Mao Jue did not even have an example, in the eyes of those courtiers in fear, Shen Weibing cried and was dragged away.

The last batch of weighty former Ming ministers, such as Chen Yan, Wei Zaode, Li Jiantai and others, were all slaughtered by Li Zicheng, there is not one of the six Shangshu left, and there are still three or four officials at the level of Shilang, which is one less, and he still took the lead in supplying the prince, what does Mao Jue mean, as long as he is not a fool, who does not know.

Now it is not a loyal minister and a gentleman who can survive, but a gentleman who has been martyred a long time ago! Mao Jue proved with practical actions that he was not a vegetarian, and the officials at the gate of Zhengyang immediately followed suit, and they all leaned on the ground again, and kowtowed three times and nine times again.

"The ministers meet the King of Liao, Chitose Chitose, Chitose Chitose!"

is different from Li Zicheng's empty eyes, Mao Jue knows how to advance and retreat, although he came up and was given a non-violent non-cooperation, but now that the ministers have given face, he did not come out with a brush, but raised his voice very kindly.

"Ministers, please get up!"

"King Xie Liao!"

Holding on to the ground, a large group of courtiers staggered to their feet again, their hands and heads drooped, and stood in two columns respectfully, waiting for the leader to speak.

At this time, it was time to regain people's hearts, Mao Jue naturally did not have stage fright, and walked to the front with the reins of the horse, his big sleeves raised high, and he shouted extremely highly.

"In recent years, it is indeed God's blessing, I have suffered a lot of disasters tomorrow, swords and soldiers are everywhere, and there is also this rebellion to attack and occupy Beijing, Your Majesty was martyred, and the mountains and rivers fell! However, my Ming Dynasty is not finished after all, and now I want to turn the tide and reorganize the mountains and rivers, Mao Jue is cheeky, and I hope that the ministers will help me!"

It's definitely a big rebellion, which courtier can say that he can turn the tide and reorganize the rivers and mountains? That is the emperor's right, Mao Jue is tantamount to revealing his ambition nakedly, and the ministers present here are also acquaintances, no matter who you sit in the country, if you have an official seat, you are a grandfather! Before Mao Jue's words fell, a group of villains who had milk and mothers knelt on the ground again, their buttocks facing the ground and their heads facing the sky, pulling their throats in response.

"Ministers dare to disobey!"

…………

The first confrontation with this group of villains was the end of Mao Jue's victory, and Mao Jue also showed the attitude of being a king, after accepting the visit, he immediately called on the former Ming officials to go to the court tomorrow to reorganize the dynasty, which is equivalent to giving all the former bureaucrats a hope, after bowing respectfully, a group of officials dispersed, and let the palace gate in front of Mao Jue, Zhengyang Gate opened, Qianqing Gate opened, under the cavalry of the array Sensen, Mao Jue was also like Li Zicheng at the beginning, Proudly entered the center of the entire East Asian power.

To say that Li Zicheng is really a good person, he pulled out all those thorns for Mao Jue, and scared all the civil and military officials, when he entered the city, the palace was empty, but what he left for Mao Jue was 30 million taels of heavy silver plates, not counting the more than 40 million taels of silver intercepted by Wen Meng at the end of Datong.

However, the most precious thing is the catalogue of mountains and rivers of the whole country stored in the Wenyuan Pavilion, the household registration register, and the documents and archives, which are the key to supporting the rule of the entire empire, and the Qing Dynasty in history relied on these things to carry out its rule in the north so smoothly, and relied on the manpower and material resources of the north to invade the south of the Yangtze River, drawing a touch of blood for the entire south of the Yangtze River.

It is really completely different from the Dashun Dynasty without foresight, as soon as he entered the palace, the Wenchen of the entire Liaodong were busy. Song Xiance took the lead, and brought Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou, who left the army, as well as the civil officials cultivated by Liaodong himself, such as Fan Wenju, Shen Rui, Su Changmei and others, and even his uncle Shen Guangzuo, who was still dragged out of the mountain by Mao Jue, were mobilized, with a large number of staff officers and civilian posts, and plunged into these catalogues, and registered the field books that were messed up because of the fall of the empire.

The sooner these things are mastered, the sooner Liaodong will be able to master this vast north.

The military attachés, Shen Rong and Liu Xingqi were also busy, one by one the orders for the transfer of troops were issued in a hurry, and the troops were also hurriedly transferred into the city, and the palace was empty and chaotic for many days, and the majestic sentry posts re-emerged, and before the evening, the streets and alleys began to be filled with the figure of the Dongjiang patrol, and the Beijing Division, which had been in turmoil since the beginning of the spring of this year, seemed to have restored the tranquility and tranquility of the imperial capital overnight.

It's just that now the entire empire should be the busiest person, Mao Jue, the king of Liao, who has skipped work at this juncture.

Mao Jue stayed in the palace and pretended, only bringing about 200 personal guards, commanded by Mao Li Sakura, Mao Jue slipped out of the palace in a low-key manner.

With the Liao soldiers entering the city, Andingfang, which was once full of powerful people, finally began to slowly recover its vitality, and the scarred Hou and that uncle took the little things that had been hidden these days, and moved back to their house full of embarrassment.

Ji Guogong is one of them, and it is a little busier than other houses, after all, a fire has burned the main building to the ground, and even if the other yards are not affected by the fire, there is a lot of dust, which needs to be cleaned.

Fortunately, the water master Da Shan is a close minister of Mao Jue's family, and he sent more than 200 people from two brigades to help with favoritism, and the bedding was carried from the water division's logistics, so that the old man's family could settle down at night.

A graceful figure in a long skirt stood in the courtyard like a spinning top, commanding, in her dispatch, whether it was the remaining servants or the sailors who came to help, they were all in order and placed things in an orderly manner.

It's only occasionally that when she looks at the door, her eyes slightly reveal a young woman's expectation and apprehension.

In the busyness, a cough suddenly came out of the house, and then with a birthday crutche, Mao Wenlong walked out of the house in a hurry, glanced at her, and then looked at the empty door, and the old man couldn't help but sigh.

"Gillian, don't wait, that bastard boy will follow me, enter the city on the first day today, he may be busy in the past few days, and it is estimated that he will not have time to go home in a short time!"

There was obviously a sense of disappointment in her bright pupils, but her face remained calm, and Chen Jiao nodded slightly.

"I know Dad, you should go and rest first, put this little thing in order, and the concubine will go back to sleep!"

"You're ......, alas......"

Sighing heavily and shaking his head, Old Man Mao reluctantly turned around and walked towards the house, and turned around again to continue the command, but at this time Chen Jiao was also a little lost her soul and became absent-minded.

But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the gate of the house, and the angry voice of a sailor came in loudly from outside the gate.

"Who are you? This is the Mansion of Jiguo, the old man's house, you ......, oops! Someone's breaking in! ”

The leaves of the first leaf ping-pong collided together, obviously chaotic, Mao Wenlong stopped in astonishment, looked out in surprise, Chen Jiao also frowned, but she had to wait for her to figure out what was going on, suddenly a black shadow rushed in from the entrance of the courtyard, grabbed her slender waist suddenly, and in her exclamation, took her to whirl and lean against the big vines in the yard.

A soft cry sounded in her ears, and Chen Jiao, who was struggling, froze there for a moment as if she had been struck by lightning.

"It's great that you're alive!"

A thousand words can't match a gentle word of concern, looking at the same red eyes, listening to the voice with trembling and surprise, I couldn't suppress it, two tears hung in the corners of Chen Jiao's eyes, and in the next second, there was no more Mrs. Yipinguo, Princess Liao. Grabbed Mao Jue's back with both hands, Chen Jiao buried her face deep in his embrace, and cried loudly.

"This bastard!"

Shaking his head helplessly, looking at the two people hugging each other, the corners of Mao Wenlong's mouth full of gray beards couldn't help but provoke a smile, and suddenly hummed a little tune, the old man seemed to be a few years younger, shook his head briskly, and went back to the house.

It was a warm evening......
