In the fierce north wind, the firelight is whirring upward, the entire north gate of Xi'an City is infected by the fire, the city gate that has been closed for more than ten days suddenly opens, and on the city wall, there are soldiers and soldiers shouting angrily: "Brother Jianyi, we are opposed!" Let the king enter the city! We're going to burn the city!"

In the shouting, trampling on the thick snow shell, Li Zicheng's army was ecstatic and dragged all kinds of guys to rush in, and then, the streets of Luoyang City also became chaotic, and some of the people who guarded the city under the wall simply plunged into the homeless army, followed by the shouting and kicked the door open one shop after another, and then grabbed and slashed.

There has never been any era when the clan vassal kings are like the end of the Ming Dynasty, they are simply allies of the enemy, in the Ming Dynasty, they are tyrannical, drunk and dreaming of death, sitting and watching the collapse of the imperial court, Zhang Xianzhong attacked Huguang, Huguang bureaucrats once came to the door to ask for money, but the stingy Chu King Zhu Huakui pointed to the golden chair given by Taizu during the Hongwu period and shouted, only this can support the army! The insistence on pulling out a dime led to the discouragement of the army, so Zhang Xianzhong attacked Wuchang City in one breath and plundered millions of gold and silver from the palace of the king of Chu.

This time, King Fu is also a negative example! He Zhu Changxun spent 100,000 taels in the New Year, made a big effort, and took out 3,000 taels to treat the army, but the 3,000 taels did not reach the sergeant's pocket, and when he went out of the treasury, the eunuchs of the consulate deducted a sum of money, and the civil officials handled it, and deducted a large amount of money to the general soldier Wang Shaoyu, and more than half of it was carried into his own pocket, and a small half was given to the pro-soldiers, and it fell into the hands of the officers and soldiers who were blocked on the front line of the wall, and there were only broken silver pieces the size of soybean grains, and they were fucking impure.

The king treats me as a national soldier, and I should repay him with a state affair! You treat me with soybean grains, Lao Tzu has fought so much for you, it has already exceeded a soybean grain, right? It's okay that King Fu doesn't work for the army, but he loses this Chang'an City.

Rome's historic ancient buildings such as Pompeii's Square, the Colosseum, and the Opera House have survived forever, but few of the great buildings of China have survived.

He had never seen such a magnificent city, and those outcasts who had just joined the army were simply dazzled, and what was once high above was now falling apart, and the luxurious wealth and women were within reach, and all order was completely collapsed, and a complete disaster befell the world.

"Wha! Delicious! Delicious!"

In the ugly shouting, several ugly and ugly homeless people with faces covered with mud tore the whole chicken that had just been snatched from the banquet, greedy or light, and the head was full of meat like a crab, while tearing the belt of his trousers, he fiercely threw a frightened little girl on the bed.

"You robbers, thieves! Let go of the old daughter!"

It's so angry that he has ever suffered this kind of treatment, Zhang Yuanwai at the entrance of the city is extremely angry, waving his cane and rushing over, but he is usually afraid of him, where is he still in his eyes at this time, the lustful ruffian directly reflexively hit him in the chest, and then went up and stabbed him with a big knife.

"the old thing!"

The blood puffed up and stained the ground, and Zhang Yuan, who was once a noble official of the imperial court, fell to the ground on his back without blinking his eyes. Full of horror, the little girl cried and pounced, screaming and threw herself into Zhang Yuanwai's arms.

"Father!"

Before she could reach out and grab the old man's trembling hand, the crab had already dragged her clothes into the house and pushed her onto the bed, and the blood that had just been splashed on her face was too late to wipe it, and the crab threw off her clothes in a hurry, smiling ugly.

"Little lady, I'm coming!"

…………

The same thing happened almost all along the palatial Main Street. It's really happening to step on the bones of the princess in the heavenly street! It's almost a historical knot.

Around a dynasty, a group of people stand out as the new rulers, and then the poor and extravagant oppress the commoners, like vampires suck the blood of the weaker and weaker nation, until the weak empire collapses, or the foreigners, or the angry peasants knock the high lords to the ground, slaughter one illustrious family after another, and finally become the new rulers, and after a few generations, their descendants are once again corrupted into the old men they once hated.

The upper class society accumulated in Xi'an City for one or two hundred years, the landlords of the public and the government, have suffered a complete catastrophe today, and their families are full of wealth but are stingy, and they despise those poor soldiers who work hard for them from the bottom of their hearts! Now that the poor soldiers are no longer working hard for them, who can they blame for this bitter fruit?

In the center of the crowd, a tall man wearing a hat and a red cloak rode forward, rushing to the front line, holding a long knife and roaring.

"Chong Wangfu! Capture the Lucky King alive!"

It is rare that there are thousands of silver taels without white flowers in ordinary times, and the personal soldiers of the Fuwang Mansion are still resisting, on the wall, the birds are crackling towards the entrance of the street, and the intruders who have just rushed out of the street are shocked with knives and tremble and fall to the ground.

But there are too many intruders! Before the second round of guns was ready, the dense intrusive army had already rushed to the wall, and two people supported one person's foot and turned over suddenly, and inside the wall, there was another fierce fight.

In the angry shout, Li Zicheng personally rode to the gate of King Fu's mansion, turned over and dismounted, and glanced at the few golden words of King Fu's feudal domain written by Emperor Wanli in the Wanli period, he couldn't help but snort coldly, stepped forward and slammed his foot on the door.

The barrier blocked by King Fu's personal soldiers inside has been smashed open by the army, and the vermilion lacquer gate is suddenly open for him, looking at the magnificent pavilions and pavilions inside, the fragrant trees, and the palace maids who are still gorgeous and moving although the flowers are discolored, even if they are dignified and kings, their eyes can't help but straighten for a few seconds, and then they sniff the smell of blood, and Li Zicheng took a deep breath intoxicated.

"This is the fucking wealth!"

…………

With the fall of King Fu's mansion, Xi'an City was completely in the hands of the army, but King Fu did not catch it, until the next day, in the secret cave of Ying'en Temple where King Fu built a blessing for Concubine Zheng Guifei, the big fat man King Fu who weighed three or four hundred pounds was fished out.

This is since the end of the apocalypse began in the rebellion of the displaced people, the first to be captured by the peasant army of the state capital city, this station for the army that just came out of Luoshan, it is simply a shot in the arm, early the next morning, initially copied out of the palace millions of taels of silver, 570,000 stone grain, just hungry and cold to eat enough, in the cold winter facing the threat of survival of the army, instantly ran to the well-off.

Moreover, more money and food means more subordinates, plus the officers and soldiers who surrendered, and in just a few days, the 100,000 troops quickly swelled to 200,000.

I have to admire Li Zicheng, only the magnificent Fuwang Mansion stayed for half a night, Li Zicheng withdrew, and withdrew to the Zhou Gong Temple outside the city as a temporary headquarters, in the early morning of the next day, the cavalry finally entered the city to maintain order, and stopped the crazy looting and killing.

However, the liquidation of the ruling class of the magnates in Luoyang City did not stop, and more than 400 bureaucrats and magnates such as Zhu Changxun, the former head of the household department, Lu Weiqi, the former squire Kang Menghui, the big landlord of Luoyang, Wang Chaoshan, Wang Yiming, etc., were brought to the Zhou Gong Temple.

Historically, it describes how Li Zicheng happily shaved his hair and beard, plucked his hair and nails, and threw a skinned deer into the cauldron, boiled it alive into Fu Lu soup, and shared it with everyone.

But the real situation, Li Zicheng was not so frustrated, and after just a reprimand for these more than 400 people, he ordered to behead them for public display, and in front of the people of Luoyang, he cut off 400 heads in one go.

In one day, the blood of the Gongqing clan once again stained the cursed land of Luoyang, and the blood seemed to add a bit of twilight to the Ming Dynasty.

…………

After the news of the loss of Luoyang reached the imperial court, Yang Sichang, who was in Huguang Governor, suddenly vomited out a mouthful of blood, and had been thinking about it all his might, and General Mei Yan, who was the last loyal minister of Emperor Chongzhen, was directly knocked down by this news, and was completely ill, and the camp was dragged to the vicinity of Lu County, and the pace of encirclement and suppression of the peasant army was seriously slowed down.

Influenced by Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucaixing, who echoed each other from afar, were also demoralized, seized this opportunity, and suddenly killed a horse pistol, first out of Sichuan to defeat the fierce tiger department, and then touched the city of Xiangyang next to the side of Yang Sichang's army, raided and broke the city, killed the king of Xiang, and broke the camp of Yang Sichang's army to suppress bandits.

On February 5, in the midst of worrying and fear, Yang Sichang finally vomited blood and died.

Yang Sichang's death, just like the loss of Yuan Chonghuan by Mao Jue of the Japanese Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty's four-year-long plan to open the net on the fourth six corners and ten sides was completely declared bankrupt.

Just like overnight, the empire has a cancerous change, the north and south battlefields are all bad news, when the news reaches the Beijing Division, Emperor Chongzhen is sitting in the court to listen to the government, after getting the military report, the dignified emperor was stunned for a few minutes, then pale, waved his hand to announce the retreat of the dynasty.

But this huge blow is not over, on February 16, the important town of Kaifeng in Henan once again came with bad news, Li Zicheng's army suddenly appeared under the city of Kaifeng, and launched a new challenge to the next important town of the imperial court.

I really didn't even have the mood to hold a funeral for my imperial uncle, almost in the roar of Zhu Youzhen, the army of bandits who gathered in Huguang went north non-stop and turned to the battlefield in the Central Plains.

Under a series of huge blows, it also brought unprecedented images to the Jingshi Imperial Court, his eyes were blood-red with anxiety, and Emperor Chongzhen's gaze finally turned to the good news outside the Guan, but he never took a step forward to relieve the siege of Jinzhou!
