Chapter 452: Get out, go all the way!
Chengtianmen.
The fire was still not completely extinguished, and the smoke pushed away by the wind shrouded the cloudy city gates in a gray color.
The sky is also gray.
Clouds and smoke hung over the city walls, and only patches of red dyed by the firelight, the occasional explosions, the almost non-stop gunfire, and the faintly discernible shouts showed the bloody slaughter going on outside......
Don't seal the knife for ten days!
Needless to say, what that means!
Do whatever you want in the city in 10 days!
This is a carnival for the whole people of Shuntianfu!
In fact, at this time, more and more young men from all over the country were smashing their hoes and using spears as spears, and although they may not be able to catch up with the most valuable things of the first wave, this is a city of more than 300,000 people. For those people in this area who have been struggling with hunger and cold for seven years, even if it is to pick up a cotton coat, carry a bag of rice, or even push a cart of expensive glazed tiles, it will be a lot of harvest when they go back. Like the poor Africans who dismantled Cage's transport plane, they were emptying the city in every way, with all but the palace in every possible way.
Including people!
Outside the Chengtian Gate, there were even poorly dressed people picking up the clothes on the corpses.
And there are a lot of them.
After all, not everyone has the guts to participate in the killing, and this is the safest option, not only men, but even women and children, in the blood of the royal street, one by one such figures lowered their heads, like clams chasing the sea, searching for everything they need.
They won't get dirty.
For the poor people in tattered sacks, just like the ordinary people in the photos of the late Qing Dynasty, even a broken cotton armor stained with blood was beyond the reach of the past.
Their broken sack pieces are not cotton.
Especially since there are iron pieces in it!
It is said that a large number of poor people in the north cannot afford to use iron plows and have to use wooden plows to plough their fields!
Dolgon's iron is also lacking.
Without surplus food, he could not feed enough workers, in order to supply the army, he could only do his best to scavenge everything that could be used, and he was even like the Japanese at the end of World War II, even the people's copper basins, copper handles, etc. were dismantled, and the plough was also high-quality pig iron, and it could be used to cast cannons when it was melted. It can be said that in the previous seven years, he had scavenged everything that could be scavenged on this land, and now these began to return to the hands of the common people in this way.
I have to say that it is also reincarnation!
Suddenly, the sound of cannons on the city wall shook the entire royal street.
Then, under the stunned gaze of these poor people who were picking up the clothes of the dead bodies, a large number of elite cavalry of the Shun army in the Chengtian Gate rushed out, and then lined up neatly on both sides, and at the same time raised the spears in their hands, and hunted with small pennants on them. At the same time, several cannons of the city wall sprayed flames again, but no shells were fired, and immediately after the shots were finished, they were reloaded and fired again, and the war drums on both sides of these cannons were also raised, and the shirtless drummers kept beating.
To the sound of rumbling drums, another group of cavalrymen in filial piety robes lined up, followed by Li Zicheng's carriage.
However, the seats in the carriage have been removed.
The carriage was waiting outside the door, and then there was the sound of mourning music inside, Yang Qing, Gao Yigong and others walked out of it with slow steps, carrying a hurried coffin on their shoulders.
The cries of the Shun army rang out on the city walls.
No matter what, their love for Li Zicheng is sincere.
This man led nearly six million people in Guanzhong, Hedong and Jinzhong to completely walk out of the shadow of famine in seven years, and lived a life where everyone had food to eat and clothes to wear. Like those legendary sages and kings, he personally led the people to dig channels, plough the fields, and in his palace, except for his wife, there were a few maidservants, and all he ate was the harvest of his own farming and hunting. In order to implement the prohibition of alcohol, he even quit drinking himself, although it was actually useless, he really didn't drink anymore, he never wore silk and satin, and there was no other outer room except Gu Hengbo, even if this was not official.
Anyway, he's really blameless!
Those Holy Lords are just like that!
Even if the people have complained about some of his policies over the years, the soldiers and civilians of the Qin Domain still know that there is no better way for them than the King of Qin!
There really isn't any!
Yang Qing can't do it!
Li Zicheng neither collects taxes nor rent, although he asks for the surplus grain to be handed over, but the surplus grain is sold to the grain station, and the grain station will give the members silver and then the members use the silver to buy other daily necessities. In essence, Li Zicheng did not take anything from the commune members, and even the commune could borrow grain from his grain station if it was short of food.
Those who have no surplus to sell and therefore have no money to buy clothes can still pay on credit through the cloth stamps he distributes in a fixed amount.
No one will be hungry because he is poor.
Of course, laziness, cheating, cheating, and the like, whipping, hard labor, and even hanging, this is not worth mentioning, and no one pities those who always want to get something for nothing, but those who are really diligent in farming will have plenty of food and clothing.
He really doesn't understand those complicated things, he doesn't know any industry, he doesn't have Yang Qing's dazzling operations, he doesn't have those open knowledge, he doesn't have Zhang Xianzhong's superior conditions, and he doesn't have King Gui's natural development foundation. He was an ordinary farmer who only knew how to farm, but with the simple ideal that the tiller should have his own land and the industrious should not starve to death, he created an ideal country in the age of agriculture in this land that was the worst of all forces.
In this respect, he is the most respectable of all the separatists.
So Yang Qing carried the coffin for him.
The heavy coffin was on the shoulders of the Duke of Protector and a group of newly baked dukes and marquises, slowly walked out of the Chengtian Gate, carefully placed on the carriage, and the cavalry on both sides raised their short guns and fired into the sky to pay tribute to the deceased hero. Immediately after that, Zhang Nai, who was wearing filial piety clothes as his godson, took the cavalry in those filial clothes to escort the carriage forward, and then they would quickly return to Chang'an, and then wait for Li Zicheng's burial. The time had to be set separately, but the body had to be returned as quickly as possible, and his nephew was responsible for his funeral, and now only his godson and eldest brother were responsible for the funeral. It doesn't matter if he is sent back to Chang'an for the funeral first, and the rest of the funeral is a few months old, after all, as a vassal king, he must also be buried in strict accordance with the etiquette of the vassal king.
Yang Qing and everyone followed on foot beside the carriage, walked through the royal street that was still full of dead bodies and walked out of Daming Gate.
There was also a cry outside the door.
At this time, the Shun army already knew the news of the death of King Qin, although the battle in the city was still continuing, but there were still nearly 10,000 Shun troops kneeling outside the Daming Gate to see off King Qin, and Yang Qing also officially appeared in front of the army and civilians.
The carriage stopped outside the Daming Gate.
"Bring Dorgon up!"
Gao Yigong shouted.
Immediately afterwards, the regent, who was still undressed, was dragged over by the soldiers, and dragged all the way to Li Zicheng's carriage in the eyes of everyone, and a wooden cross was quickly erected. At the same time, a well-known old craftsman in the city was called over, and he took his apprentice to sharpen his knife there, although the Ming Dynasty punishment had not done this for a long time, but the principle was the same, and the butcher was still easy to find. It is said that this old craftsman is the best in this, since this is the case, he will serve the regent, anyway, it just means a little and is not very strict, the production is almost almost, Li Zicheng does not care.
Dorgon was quickly nailed to the shelf.
The attraction of this kind of drama is not comparable to Li Zicheng, and soon on and around the city walls on both sides, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians gathered to appreciate the true face of the regent.
He also admired his death.
"There's an old friend gone!"
Looking at Dolgon in the scream, Yang Qing said with some embarrassment.
"Lord Protector, what should we do next?"
Gao Yigong asked.
"Next, you solve this side first, clean up the northern capital, and try to encircle and annihilate this part of Boluo in the pass, Zheng Chenggong doesn't need you there, but you also have to hold the front line of Baoding, and then Duoduo will definitely try his best to open the way to escape. We can't let him cross Baoding, we have to force him to Jiang Xuan, and if he escapes to Lu'an, you must rush back to Taiyuan as soon as possible to block him from going north. Li Guo should have returned, and he would order the communes to assemble and stand by, and Huang Fei also took two armies into Wuguan to go north for reinforcements. Our goal is to surround Duoduo in Zelu, and none of this Jiannu can escape, and we will talk about the rest after we have settled them. ”
Yang Qing said.
Bolo's Qing army is not important, Duoduo's department is the most important, as long as the Duoduo group is destroyed in the pass, then Da Yu'er is the meat on the board.
Gao Yigong didn't say anything more.
At this moment, a general of the Shun army approached them.
"Protector of the country, the five thousand cavalry of the Duoduo Department have arrived in Baoding, and General Xin of Baoding is in a hurry."
He said.
"They're pretty fast!"
Yang Qing sneered.
Of course, Li Zicheng could not leave a defense behind him, Xin Sizhong led 5,000 Shun troops out of the Bauhinia Pass, and then went south, and entered Baoding in the welcome of the poor people in the city. He was previously the deputy general of He Jin, another army leader of Li Zicheng, but when Li Zicheng marched into Beijing for the first time that year, He Jin led the army to attack Longyou and was attacked and killed by Tusi.
"Send an order to Sun Shoufa, let him take three thousand cavalry to Lugou Bridge to standby, and I will take them to get Duoduo's head!"
Yang Qing said.
After saying that, he dragged the sweaty horse that had been a high skill and rode it directly, and then took a spear from a cavalryman next to him, made a rather chic move, and turned his head to look at Dolgon......
"Get out, go all the way!"
Yang Qing said with a smile.
Dolgon, who had been stripped of a third, screamed there, and he didn't know if he heard it, and then Yang Qing urged his horse forward, and the crowd in front of him quickly moved out of the way......
