Texas, on the Bell and Drum Tower.

"You're crazy, why should I go crazy with you?"

Gao Yigong said.

At this time, he was wearing the official uniform of the Governor of the Five Armies of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing, the official uniform of the Left Governor of the Central Army, the burly Northwest Han figure was covered with a scarlet robe and a lion complement, and he wore a seven-beam crown, which also looked quite a bit of the taste of the princes, and behind him, a brocade guard kept hitting the big bell, and the bell was echoing in this boot-shaped ancient city that was not very big.

"I'm here to help you!"

Yang Qing beside him said in the sound of the bell.

This guy is wearing a red flying fish suit, and there are seven knives like a peacock on his back, which is also helpless, after all, unless he fights a barbaric weapon such as a mace, it will be quickly lost, especially a knife, otherwise why does he like to cut his throat, cutting his throat is not a waste knife! It doesn't take a few knives to cut off the head, and it can't be used, that's why Quan Gai Suwen is equipped with five knives, he is not completely for pretending, he really has this need on the battlefield, of course, Yang Qing is purely for pretending.

"Can't my army defeat such a small city?"

Gao Yigong said disdainfully.

"If you don't fight, you don't fight, there are enough dead people in this world!"

Yang Qing patted him on the shoulder and said.

Gao Yigong was silent.

"The holy decree has arrived, and the Texas military and civilians have received the decree!"

Yang Qing suddenly yelled at the bottom.

And underneath this bell and drum tower were countless people who had gathered in a hurry because of their sudden appearance, especially the sudden ringing of the bell.

Even the nearest group of soldiers was hurrying in.

Yang Qing and Gao Yigong actually brought twelve Jinyi guards into the city with makeup, and their army still stayed in Mulberry Garden, which was Chongzhen's order, and then Yang Qing pulled Gao Yigong, who was very reluctant, to play this obviously crazy game together, anyway, no one in the city knew them. As for the transportation of official uniforms and weapons, it is completely worthless, and it is solved by stuffing two pieces of silver at the gate of the city, this is an important canal town, what kind of merchants do not have from the south to the north? Anyway, those soldiers guarding the gate haven't seen a few contraband! There is no need for Yang Qing to worry about this kind of trivial matter, his Jinyi Wei is a canal slender man, and he knows these things very well, in fact, the twelve he brought have all been to Texas before.

After entering the city, they directly climbed the bell and drum tower, and then changed their clothes and suddenly appeared, using this suddenness to create a sensational effect to attract the soldiers and civilians in the city.

And then......

With Yang Qing's roar, the bell stopped.

Then he pulled out a scroll of the decree from his bosom.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says:"

He unfolded the decree and shouted.

Saying that, his voice was loud enough, and the thousands of people who were gathering below all raised their heads in amazement to look at this brocade guard.

Guarding this imperial traffic artery, of course, it is impossible for the people here not to know the flying fish suit, let alone the Zhengyipin military attache official uniform on Gao Yigong's body, the lion complement represents the highest level of the military attaché, although the flying fish suit has long been flooded, but it still represents a special identity. Especially behind them, there is a row of brocade guards, and it is all red bullfighting suits, these guys were all rescued on the Haihe River, and they were all given to wear bullfighting suits, although this thing was flooded in the late Ming Dynasty, but at most it was a rich family bribing the eunuch to ask for one, occasionally wearing it out and pretending to be a force, more than a dozen pieces lined up on the bell and drum tower, it can still be described as shocking.

Everyone below watched this scene blankly.

Yang Qing did not rush to read the holy decree, but looked at the group of soldiers with a smile on his face.

The latter is rapidly splitting the crowd.

"Don't listen to him, disperse, he is a false decree, take down this thief!"

The leading officer shouted anxiously.

The next moment, a Yanling knife suddenly flew in, instantly penetrating his chest, he looked at the hilt on his chest in amazement, and then raised his head to look at Yang Qing, who was missing a knife on his back, and then fell down in a scream all around......

"What doesn't know whether it's alive or dead, dare to be rude to the Holy Decree!"

Yang Qing sneered.

Everyone below was silent.

"Fengtian carried the emperor, the edict said: I am close to the construction of slaves with Shuntian, and the plague continues, so I want to be fortunate that Nanjing uses the power of filial piety to control the world, and has issued an edict to the world, and today it is specially reiterated to solve the confusion of the people in Shandong. Li Zicheng, although he started from rebellion, but he knew that he had repented, and he was willing to lead the department to stay in the north of the Ming Dynasty to resist Jiannu, so I gave it to the Qin Domain, and used it as the assistant prince to stay in Beijing, and the north of the Huai River was ordered by the Beijing Left-behind Division, and the military and civilians respected its dispatch. And the north of Zhili, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places continue to drought locusts, the people are hungry, the south still has surplus grain available, I am fortunate to be for this, not all kinds of folk rumors, today together with the statement. The purpose of the former's edict to the rebel armies in various places was that Wu Sangui, the former commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and Wang Yongji, the former governor of Jiliao, colluded with Jiannu to lead Jiannu into the customs and chaos of the Ming Dynasty. The soldiers gathered in various places are all gone, and the king of Qin is not comparable to the past, and the officials and people in various places are not allowed to raise troops to resist each other, and if there are officials who invade the fishing gentry, they can go to the north and south to sue the imperial history......"

Yang Qing kept chanting to the holy decree.

It is said that Chongzhen is nothing more than to save face, and he doesn't want to attack his loyal ministers and righteous soldiers with the thief army, and then get a stain that can't be washed away.

It's just a trifle.

Just come and make a decree.

The Texas gentry are indeed cornered, but the Texas military and civilians are purely coerced, indeed, they can only be described by the word coercion, I am afraid that most of them do not know what is happening, they only know that they follow the officials to defend their homeland against the rogues, and the officials will not tell them too much. Then come directly to tell them, tell them that there are no more rogues, Li Zicheng has been recruited, Li Zicheng has returned to Shun and been named the king of Qin, the Shun army is not here to loot, their current identity is an official army. Those were all rumors before, and they were all rumors that Wu Sangui and Wang Yongji wanted to commit treason and join the enemy to lure Jiannu into the customs and harm the common people, so they kidnapped the emperor and deceived you by falsely passing on the holy decree.

As for the true decree now.

There is no doubt about this, after all, His Majesty the Emperor is dozens of miles away, and the military and civilians of Texas are very clear.

That's enough and doesn't need to be too much trouble......

"Don't listen to his nonsense, these traitors are holding the emperor hostage, they see that the famine and plague in the north can't go on, so they take the emperor hostage and go to Nanjing to enjoy the blessings, they sold our people in the north to Li Zicheng, we can't let them go, let's clear the king's side, let the emperor know the true face of these traitors, the emperor can't go, the emperor is gone, we can only be abandoned to the bandits!"

Suddenly, several old villagers panted and the house slaves ran over while shouting, and one of them collapsed to the ground due to physical exhaustion before he could run to the place, and the little maid who followed hurriedly stepped forward to beat him on the back.

The soldiers and civilians looked at them in amazement.

Then look at Yang Qing.

Yang Qing closed the holy decree, and then made a gesture of invitation towards Gao Yigong.

The latter coughed.

The soldiers and civilians were all staring at him.

"Free food."

Gao Yigong said reservedly.

"The king of Qin has an order to stay in Beijing in the Ming Dynasty, and from today onwards, the places under the jurisdiction of the Beijing Stay-behind Division will be exempted from all money and grain for three years."

He then added.

This is a decision that Li Zicheng has just made, in order to solve the resistance of the gentry everywhere, three years is enough, and three years later, but Juntian's promise has not been fulfilled for the time being, and Li Zicheng is also very entangled now, of course, these have nothing to do with Yang Qing and have nothing to do with Chongzhen, these gentry in the north are for him to play. After Gao Yigong finished speaking, a brocade guard behind Yang Qing quickly stepped forward to translate in the local dialect, in fact, there are people who can understand it without translation, this place is not closed, and some businessmen from Shaanxi come here, Gao Yigong is not pure Shaanxi dialect at this time, he has been fighting in Henan for several years.

Immediately there was an incredible silence below.

"Dare to ask the general?"

One asked cautiously.

"The Ming Dynasty is the Governor of the Five Armies in Beijing, the Governor of the Left Army of the Central Army, and the Governor of Shandong Gao, ah, I have another identity, I am the eldest brother of Li Zicheng, the king of Qin."

Gao Yigong said with a smile.

The crowd instantly boiled.

"Governor, how did the King of Qin raise his army?"

The man asked excitedly.

"At the time of this national crisis, it is natural that there is money to contribute and make a strong contribution, you poor people have no money, you can do your best, this money is naturally paid by these rich people, not only the King of Qin raised the army, but the money and food for the hungry people are also provided by them, now you should know why they want to resist the King of Qin desperately, right? Are you still willing to follow them? If you don't want to, open the gates, and the army of the Pontus will soon arrive, and here the Pontus will promise the fathers that the arrival of the army will be the time to open the barns and release the grain! ”

Gao Yigong said.

"Open the door, open the door to meet the king, the king will not pay for the food!"

The next moment he suddenly shouted.

"Open the door, open the door to meet the king, the king will not pay for the food!"

Immediately there was a frenzied roar below, and those revelry-like soldiers and civilians suddenly knocked over the old villagers and trampled them under their feet, and then surged into the arch gate in front, and soon more people and those hastily armed soldiers poured out from everywhere to join them, and the roar of the king coming and not paying food resounded throughout the city of Texas, and those gentry and officials rushed out in horror with domestic slaves to try to stop them, but they were instantly submerged like a grass shed in front of a torrent......

"You can save face for the emperor, even if you wait for us to pass!"

Yang Qing said speechlessly.

This was obviously not within the scope of the plan, but he also saw the power of the king who came and did not pay for food.

"What does this matter to me? Besides, isn't his trouble also solved? ”

Gao Yigong spread his hands and said very innocently.
