The news of the bloody storm in the capital of Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, swept the entire northern part of the Ming Dynasty in a very short period of time, and spread to the south of the Yangtze River.
At the same time, with the shocking news of investigating and prosecuting the Donglin Party, the tens of thousands of iron cavalry of the Changshui Battalion led by Wen Poyu, the chief military officer of Jizhou Town, made people feel even more frightened. Just when Liu Yunwei led the Longxiang Iron Cavalry to kill in the capital, Wen Poyu also divided tens of thousands of Changshui Battalion Iron Cavalry into several roads, and traveled vertically and horizontally in various places in Beizhili, arresting Donglin Party officials in the vast area of Yongping Mansion in the east, Xuanfu Town in the west, Daming Mansion in the south, and Changping Prefecture in the north.
In this regard, whether it is the general army of Changping, the general army of Miyun, the governor of Xuanda and other generals stationed in Beizhili, or the governors of Shandong, Hebei, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other neighboring Beizhili, they have been silent at this time, as if they can't see the iron cavalry of the Hanwei army galloping by.
At this time, the civil and military officials of the entire Ming Dynasty are well aware, everyone saw the great power of Zhenguo Gong, saw hundreds of thousands of elite Han Wei troops attacking, and saw that Emperor Chongzhen was standing behind Zhenguo Gong, and issued a holy decree to eradicate the Donglin Party, and they all understood a truth: the Donglin Party is completely finished!
In the face of the general trend, no one will be stupid enough to speak up for the Donglin Party, and no one will choose to die with the Donglin Party, which is already certain to die!
In Beizhili, which has been turned upside down, it is common to see large families running for their lives along the official roads in various places, fleeing to the south along the official roads in various places, and these big families are Donglin Party officials who are officials in various parts of Beizhili. In the past, these people were all high-minded and arrogant, and they attacked colleagues who had different political views from them in groups, and did everything they could, regardless of right and wrong, as if everyone except themselves were traitors.
At this moment, these self-styled righteous men and gentlemen have all turned into lost dogs, with truckloads of property, and family members ranging from dozens to hundreds or even hundreds, trying to leave Beizhili and flee to the south of the Yangtze River.
In the hearts of these Donglin Party officials, the provinces in Jiangnan are the base camps of Donglin Party officials, as long as they flee to Jiangnan, they can save their lives, as well as their own family wealth and glory!
However, these Donglin Party officials who escaped from various cities forgot that Jiangnan is also the territory of the Ming Dynasty, not a place outside the law!
Moreover, at this time, the iron cavalry army of the Hanwei Army was already all over Beizhili, especially the key passes and roads were firmly guarded by the officers and soldiers of the Hanwei Army, and it was unknown whether these Donglin Party officials could escape from Beizhili alive!
Dongjiamiao Fort at the junction of Zhending Mansion and Shunde Mansion, which is an important pass from Zhending Mansion to the south, is stationed here with 20 soldiers from the first battalion of the Hanwei Army's pacesetter, strictly checking and checking the passers-by.
In order to prevent the officials of the Donglin Party from fleeing south to the greatest extent, Liu Yunwei divided all the soldiers of the first battalion of the Hanwei Army's pacesetters into pieces, and scattered them all over Beizhili, laying a tight net, completely covering the entire Beizhili.
When these 20 soldiers of the first battalion of the Hanwei Army Pacesetter Battalion were checking some passers-by, they would not be embarrassed by the ordinary passers-by, and they would let them go after a little inquiry; However, for
Some pedestrians who dragged their families and wore unusual clothes would be questioned and even searched carefully.
At this time, a Hanwei military banner general in charge of Dongjiamiao Fort suddenly saw a group of passers-by in the distance, this group of passers-by drove five carriages, except for two carriages that were more luxurious and used to sit people, the remaining three carriages were loaded with some large Nanmu boxes.
The flag general took a closer look and found that the three carriages containing large boxes of Nanmu had left deep rut marks where they passed, indicating that the goods on the three carriages were very heavy.
In addition, the flag general also found that the other party had erected the battle flag of the Han Wei Army on the Dongjiamiao Fort, and at this time it had stagnated, and was turning the direction on the official road, and was actually preparing to leave this place. It's just that due to the large number of pedestrians on the official road, these five carriages could not turn around in time, but blocked the official road.
"You guys come up with me to have a look!"
With a wave of his hand, the flag chief led five soldiers to rush forward and stopped the five carriages.
When he got closer, Mr. Qi first looked up and down, and saw that the people in the carriage looked very scared, and seeing that the clothes were all scholarly, he asked loudly, "Who are you?" Where did you come from, where did you go? ”
A middle-aged man got down from the carriage, and after seeing the general qi, he relieved himself, squeezed out a smile from his face, and said: "This general, I am from Zhending Mansion, and I want to visit relatives and friends in Jiangnan, and I hope it will be convenient." ”
After speaking, the middle-aged man gave Mr. Qi a silver ingot, and Mr. Qi weighed it in his hand, estimating that there were at least ten taels of silver!
The middle-aged man stared at Mr. Qi with a smile, just waiting for Mr. Qi to order him to let him go, but he didn't think that Mr. Qi directly threw the silver ingot on the ground, and then said to his subordinates: "This person intends to bribe the officers and soldiers of our army, and it will be recorded immediately!" ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face was a little ugly, but he still endured it and said, "This general, we are just passing by, and we can't do it, let's just go back." ”
As he spoke, the middle-aged man was about to get into the carriage and leave, but when Mr. Qi saw this, he stepped forward to stop him, and then said to the five soldiers behind him: "This person is very suspicious, search for me!" ”
After speaking, five soldiers of the Hanwei Army stepped forward with swords, but they were stopped by three strong men, who seemed to be the guards of the middle-aged man.
At this moment, the middle-aged man could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, completely burst out, and shouted loudly at the flag president: "You are just a little flag president, you are so bold to act recklessly in front of this official!" The official gave you some thin noodles and didn't know how to carry them, it was just a toast and a penalty for not eating! Get out of the way for the officer! ”
Seeing this, Mr. Qi didn't laugh angrily, and said coldly: "In this way, you are Donglin's rebel!" ”
"Nonsense!"
The middle-aged man pointed to the flag and shouted: "This official is Xu Fangzhou, the prefect of Zhending Mansion, a dignified member of the imperial court, what are you, dare to talk nonsense with this official!" ”
Mr. Qi sneered and took a few steps forward, and at the same time pulled out his waist knife, and said in a cold voice: "What am I?" Tell you, Lao Tzu is a warrior who was born and died to defend the Ming Dynasty! I have always shed blood and been injured for Daming, and I was killed from the sea of corpses and blood! You are a powerless Donglin Party, you have not contributed to the country, you have not done things for the people, what qualifications do you have to look down on Lao Tzu! ”
That Xu Fangzhou was so angry at this time that he was panting,
I just stared at my eyes and couldn't say a word.
At this time, the two Hanwei soldiers knocked away the three guards, and then jumped into a carriage containing a big Nanmu box, and split one of them with a knife, only to see that the boxes were filled with silver ingots with white flowers, estimated to be at least tens of thousands of taels!
Seeing this, the surrounding people immediately let out a burst of exclamations, and then they were extremely angry and scolded at Xu Fangzhou.
Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the army of thieves have been wiped out one after another, and the imperial court has stopped collecting and extorting salaries, there are still many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in various places, and the lives of the common people are still in dire straits.
An ordinary Donglin Party official like Xu Fangzhou has such wealth, how can the people around him not be angry?
"Kill this corrupt official!"
"Kill him!"
The surrounding people all roared angrily and rushed towards Xu Fangzhou and his family.
Seeing this, Xu Fangzhou's three guards took out iron rulers one after another and struck at the surrounding people, beating more than a dozen people with blood all over their heads.
And Xu Fangzhou was still pointing at the people who were knocked to the ground by the guards and laughing. Even Xu Fangzhou's wives and concubines in the carriage were laughing, as if they were watching some joke.
Seeing this, Mr. Qi roared: "What a gut! ”
Then he swung his knife and rushed forward, cutting Xu Fangzhou, who was still laughing, to the ground with one knife, and beheading him with the second knife. Almost at the same time, the five Hanwei soldiers behind Mr. Qi also roared and rushed forward, where were the three Xu family guards who were beating the people The opponents of the Hanwei soldiers? died in two strokes, and even Xu Fangzhou's family members who were carrying the carriage were also dead on the spot.
When the surrounding people saw that the soldiers of the Hanwei Army were actually killing people on the road, they all screamed and dispersed. But it didn't take long for the surrounding people to react and start cheering loudly, and even smashed the corpses of Xu Fangzhou and others on the ground to vent their anger.
What happened here in Dongjiamiaobao is very common in the entire Beizhili, after all, the Donglin Party and its henchmen are all over the imperial court, even if Liu Yunwei uses thunderous methods, it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net.
However, before these Donglin Party officials who had escaped by luck could escape to Jiangnan, they were intercepted by the soldiers of the Hanwei Army scattered all over the country.
A month later, all the Donglin Party officials inside and outside the capital had been raided and imprisoned, and some Donglin Party officials who rose up to resist were even directly killed. The Donglin Party officials and a large amount of stolen money that were caught in various parts of Beizhili were also continuously transported to the Hanwei Army Pacesetter Battalion Battalion to the east of the capital, which was guarded by the pacesetter battalion, the baggage battalion and the artillery battalion soldiers.
In addition, the general soldiers and governors of Shandong, Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi and other places near Beizhili began to investigate Donglin Party officials, raided all Donglin Party officials in their respective jurisdictions, and sent prisoners and stolen money to the capital.
After all, under the iron fist of the Duke of Zhenguo, the commanders and governors of various places understood how they should choose.
It's just that, so far, there is still not much movement in the provinces south of the Yangtze River. The general troops in all localities are all standing still, and they are hanging high in a posture that they have nothing to do with themselves. And the governors and civil officials in various places began to connect up and down, and even recruited township warriors and family members, ignoring the orders of Liu Yunwei and Emperor Chongzhen!
