Chapter 4: Simple and Crude
"Don't be afraid, it's a flesh wound!"
Yang Qing looked at those beautiful eyes and said softly.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Princess Kunxing said with difficulty.
There was a faint flush on her pale face, and she instinctively wanted to leave Yang Qing's embrace, but she suddenly touched the wound that was being bandaged, and then let out a painful moan, and then as if she had exhausted all her strength, she fell weakly on Yang Qing's chest.
"Daring fanatic!"
Suddenly, there was an angry roar behind Yang Qing.
Chongzhen, who had just been lifted up by Wang Chengen, broke free from the latter, picked up the sword with his hand, and stabbed it towards Yang Qing's back without hesitation, but Yang Qing didn't even look at it, and while avoiding it sideways, he carefully completed the last step of bandaging for Princess Kunxing. At the same time as Chongzhen drew his sword back, his right hand reached out like lightning and grabbed his wrist, and then with a little force, the sword reached his hand in Chongzhen's scream, and before Chongzhen could react, the blade had already pressed against his neck.
And at the same time, Yang Qing also stood up with Princess Kunxing in his arms, and then carefully helped her to stand, the latter was actually unconscious, after all, her weak physique lost too much blood, which was an inevitable result.
"Quickly put down the sword, and hurt the nine clans of you!"
Wang Chengen said in a trembling voice.
Chongzhen was also honest, standing there looking at Yang Qing with gloomy eyes, and the armed eunuchs around him watched this scene helplessly, after all, no one had ever experienced such a thing as the emperor being held hostage.
"Your Majesty, you can't even protect your own wife and daughter, whose nine clans can you punish?"
Yang Qing looked at Chongzhen with disdain and said.
But the sword in his hand didn't let go, at this time those armed eunuchs with guns also arrived, he didn't want to be beaten into a sieve, even if the arquebus is also a gun, speaking of Chongzhen is pitiful enough, as the king of a country, at this time, there are only dozens of eunuchs left around, in addition to a beautiful woman with a little girl, it is estimated that it is Yuan Guifei and Princess Zhaoren. Chongzhen had already sent away his sons before summoning Princess Kunxing, and asked them to go to the ministers he felt he could trust, including Guozhang Zhou Kui and Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen, of course, these people immediately dedicated them to Li Zicheng, and Queen Zhou also found a place to hang herself after crying with him, so these people are not here.
Yang Qing's words made Chongzhen's face darken.
"You are a brocade cloth, you should be loyal to Wei Sheji, how dare you hold the holy car hostage? Don't put your sword down yet? Thinking of you is also a princess, if you can make a difference and protect Your Majesty from getting out, Your Majesty should be the prince of Wandai. ”
Wang Chengen said.
Yang Qing looked at Chongzhen.
"You're the one who wants to escort Nanjing? If so, it will not be not. ”
Chongzhen said slowly.
"The minister has thanked the Holy Grace first!"
Yang Qing said.
As he spoke, he put on a bright smile, and before Chongzhen could react, suddenly he took a step forward with Princess Kunxing in his arms, and at the same time the hilt of the sword in his right hand smashed on the back of Chongzhen's head, and the latter who was caught off guard was stunned at once, and Wang Chengen next to him reacted quickly, and stepped forward to hug Chongzhen with a scream, and those armed eunuchs raised their guns in confusion, but Wang Chengen raised his hand to stop them.
"You're too daring!"
Wang Chengen gritted his teeth and shouted.
"I just want to beat him up!"
Yang Qing said indifferently: "Duke, why don't you hurry up and clean up the jade seal or something?" If you don't leave, it'll be dawn! ”
"Hurry, hurry!"
Wang Chengen roared without hesitation.
Those armed eunuchs are estimated to be the last diehards, they packed Chongzhen's jade seal, crown, and even some jewels as quickly as possible, especially the jade seal was directly handed over to Wang Chengen, and the unconscious Chongzhen was carried by a strong eunuch, as for Yang Qing, of course, he carried Princess Kunxing.
Yuan Guifei next to him looked at him with expectant eyes.
Yang Qing was entangled for a moment.
He was already too burdensome, and adding a woman was really dead.
"General, please take Zhaoren away, and the concubine will be martyred with death."
Yuan Guifei said.
"Okay, the concubine doesn't have to commit suicide, go to the queen and other concubines to persuade them not to kill themselves, Li Zicheng won't touch you, he is not as terrible as you think, in short, no matter what happens outside in the future, you should try not to leave the palace, and there will be a bigger war next, it will be difficult for you to survive after leaving the palace."
Yang Qing said.
After speaking, he took Princess Zhaoren, held her with one hand and exchanged glances with Wang Chengen.
"How do you escape?"
At this time, it is not so easy to escape from Beijing, the Shun army completely surrounds the city, the outer city has been occupied, and the inner city has also begun to be occupied, but the city is too big, so even if it is occupied, it will take some time, it is not difficult to go out at this time to avoid the Shun army, there is absolutely no Shun army in the north of the city, but the problem is that they are all outside the city! Hundreds of thousands of troops are blocked on the other three sides of the inner city waiting to enter the city, even if they go out of the city, they can't run, the outside of the city is full of Shun troops, unless......
Unless you abscond with makeup.
The two nodded to each other as if they had a heart, and then waved to the eunuchs, and they left the Qianqing Palace with the cry of Princess Zhaoren.
They walked through the palace and went north to bypass Jingshan and exit Bei'anmen, and left the imperial city at dawn.
By this time the rain was still falling, and it had turned into freezing rain, and by the last cover of darkness before dawn, they quickly broke into a nearby house, and half an hour later, when the sky began to lighten, they had all changed into the clothes of ordinary people. At this time, Chongzhen also woke up, but he always had a gloomy face and didn't speak, even if Yang Qing changed his daughter's clothes with his own hands, he didn't speak, it is estimated that he was studying in his heart one day to punish this rebel nine clans, Princess Kunxing actually woke up, but she pretended not to wake up yet, closed her eyes and let Yang Qing do it, anyway, her injuries were also handled by Yang Qing, which can be regarded as a skin-to-skin kiss.
However, her injuries are not optimistic.
Especially with too much blood loss.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was disturbed at this time, Yang Qing quickly re-examined the wound for her, he could only guarantee to stop the bleeding, but there was really no medicine or anything, and it was up to fate whether she would be infected or not, after all, her entire arm was cut off from the middle of her upper arm, and it was already Yang Qing's reaction to stop the bleeding quickly enough, and he was inexplicably able to use some first aid methods like his inexplicable superior force. But now there is no time to care about her injury, because at this time the Shun army has officially entered the city, especially Chaoyang, Dongzhi, and Anding, and the gates have been opened one after another, and then Li Zicheng will enter the city in the cheers of the people and officials, and then search for Chongzhen in the whole city, and open a heavy reward of ten thousand gold and knights.
They had to get out of town as soon as possible.
"The only way is to go through the water gate."
Yang Qing said.
They can't go during the day, the Shun army is blocking the gates during the day, and no one can go out, and the rest is to climb the city wall at night, and there are two options to drill the water gate.
But the danger of climbing the city wall is too great, if Yang Qing himself or just carrying Princess Kunxing on his back, of course it is very easy, with his current physical fitness, the ten-meter-high city wall is not worth mentioning, and he will go up with a rope, but even if he abandons those armed eunuchs, he still has Wang Chengen, Chongzhen, and Princess Zhaoren, and he still expects not to be discovered after four round-trips, then he is too confident, and once he is discovered, it will be difficult to go.
Then the only option left is to drill the water gate, most of the water gates this season do not have much water, and part of the Eight-Nation Alliance's entry into Beijing is to enter through the water gate in a queue in front of the Beijing people.
"Can you open the floodgates?"
Wang Chengen said sarcastically.
"Iron."
He added one more point.
"Inside and out, there are thick wooden stakes that hug each other in a dense array."
An armed eunuch followed alongside him.
"Alright, let's climb the wall!"
Yang Qing immediately gave in.
Now that the method is determined, all that remains is to prepare, mainly to find some strong ropes, and flying tiger claws, this must be difficult to find a suitable one, fortunately, there are still those arquebuses, this thing is useless, if you really want to be blocked these arquebuses, it is better to take a knife! Yang Qing quickly dismantled this with great strength, then bent the barrel into a hook, and then tied the three barrels together It was almost useless, in the final analysis, it was just a hook wall, and he didn't really have to run to play rock climbing.
Just as they were preparing to run away with their equipment, in the snowflakes and freezing rain, Li Zicheng's army entered Beijing through all the open city gates, and then quickly completed control of the city.
But the order is not bad.
Even at that time, some literati said that he was in good order after entering Beijing, not only did Yan Lingqiu not commit any crimes, but also ordered the two robbed subordinates, including shops, to remain in normal business, but these statements were quickly drowned in the brains encouraged by our Qing Dynasty, and then the stories made up became more and more sensational.
As for his torture of hundreds of officials......
That is about the common people's, he pinched Wei Zaode out of his brain, it can be said that it is completely to avenge Chongzhen, it is said that when Chongzhen begged them to donate, Wei Zhuangyuan took out five hundred taels, and then Liu Zongmin took out 13,000 taels of gold, such a person is not clipped, Chongzhen can't rest in peace in the spirit of the sky, but to say that the Shun army harms the people is nonsense, in fact, they don't need to harm the people, what do those wealthy nobles and nobles want in the family? If you want money, you want money, you want beautiful women, you want beautiful women, they are so idle that they won't go to trouble those ordinary people who can't eat enough.
Therefore, Yang Qing and the others did not encounter trouble hiding in this people's house, after all, the Shun army was busy seizing those mansions of wealthy families, and only a small group of soldiers symbolically walked in the alley outside.
Yang Qing simply forced Wang Chengen to write a banner touting Li Zicheng, and then asked Princess Zhaoren, who had changed into a ragged shirt and smeared her little face, to take it out, and the cute little Lori shouted that the son of Dashun Tianwan Nian is undoubtedly very likable, and he actually rewarded a piece of cake back from a Shun army soldier, and then Chongzhen's face was extremely exciting.
