Chapter 474, Pursuit (2)

The news brought by Jiang Pingfu was valued by the model army, and the model army was also very willing to teach the Shun army another lesson in the field battle, so that they could increase their memory. However, the scout cavalry sent out never found Li Zicheng's army.

The Model Army continued to advance cautiously in the direction of Beijing, and by evening, the scout cavalry of the Model Army had seen the walls of Beijing.

After the model army scout appeared, some of the Shun troops who stayed in Beijing immediately got in touch with the model army, and then, after determining the identity of the other party, Jiang Hao immediately opened the city gate for the model army.

It was only in the evening at this time, and out of caution, the light cavalry of the Model Army did not enter the city on a large scale, but the advance personnel controlled the city gates. And sent the information obtained to the main force of the model army in the rear. Based on this information, Zheng Sen determined that Li Zicheng had probably run away in advance.

Li Zicheng left Beijing and ran away with his team. Now the "royal teacher" of the imperial court is back. The news immediately spread like a whirlwind throughout Beijing. Now Li Zicheng is left in Beijing, all of them are some new attached troops, and they are all former Ming troops that Li Zicheng feels are unreliable and have little use value. These people immediately "anyway", they never knew where, turned out the flags they used back then, and then in a blink of an eye, they changed from the Shun army to the Ming army.

Among these "Ming Army", Jiang Hao is always the most agile one. He first got in touch with Zheng Sen, he first opened the city gates, and now, he was the first to act, ordering the soldiers to seize the imperial city.

"We need to hurry up, or we'll fall behind." Jiang Hao said to his eldest son, Jiang Zhisheng, "You immediately bring people to snatch down Zhengyangmen and Chengtianmen, as well as Donghuamen, well, rescue all the ministers imprisoned in the palace!" ”

Jiang Zhisheng nodded and turned around and prepared to go out, but Jiang Hao stopped his son again.

"Also, remember, don't go in the direction of the inner carrier, no matter who else passes, no matter who passes, we just watch, don't go! Do you understand? ”

Jiang Zhisheng stood still, his face full of surprise. The inner carrier warehouse is next to the Dongchang outside the Donghua Gate, because there are ready-made prisons and torture instruments in the Dongchang, so when Li Zicheng and the others began to torture the officials of the Ming Dynasty and ask them for stolen silver, they naturally chose this place. Next to the east factory is the inner transport warehouse, which was originally a vault, and it is said that the silver obtained by Li Zicheng's torture was also placed here at the beginning. Now Li Zicheng naturally brought this silver with him when he left, but who knows, is there still some left in it?

However, Jiang Jiu felt that even if there were still there, there would not be many of them. If your own people go into the inner transport warehouse, when the time comes, His Royal Highness King Fu and Zheng Zongbing come, enter the inner transport warehouse, and find that there is no silver in it at all, and then someone runs over and rumors, saying that their own people have entered, then wouldn't it be impossible to jump into the Yellow River and wash it? And these silvers are the silver of the families of the adults who are locked up in the prison in Dongchang, and their protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, and when the time comes, they can't say that they will be able to make a comeback, in case they feel that they have robbed them of their silver, isn't it in vain to bear the charge?

Jiang Hao didn't have time to explain to him in detail, just said, "Remember?" Don't forget. Whoever dares to run over there will cut him down, and don't show mercy! You know? ”

"Dad, I see." Jiang Zhisheng replied.

"Okay, then let's go! By the way, I also called a few heroes of the king's division, so that I can have a witness. Jiang Xuan said.

Relying on the time advantage of knowing that the "Wang Shi" had fought back first, Jiang Jiu's men and horses, who acted overnight, first occupied Zhengyangmen and Chengtianmen. Jiang Zhisheng personally took a group of family members and several model soldiers to Donghua Gate. Li Zicheng had already left, and he had taken all his men and horses away, and only a few eunuchs were watching from these palace gates. Jiang Zhisheng and the others naturally took Donghua Gate very smoothly, and then entered the Dongchang factory to the north.

There are only some low-level feudal lords left in the East Factory now, and these people naturally can't and dare not talk crookedly to the army with bright knives. They honestly opened the door, and then opened the prison again, and released the high-ranking officials and nobles who were locked inside. However, most of these people have been tossed by Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin to the point that they only have half a breath left, and it is really difficult to say whether they can survive or not.

At this time, the other military leaders also understood, and they went out one after another, under the banner of "Ming Army", shouting that they would search for the traitors, and easily robbed the decent people in Beijing again.

On the morning of the second day, Zheng Sen arrived at the city of Beijing with the main force of the model army. A group of lost "Ming Army" generals led by Jiang Jiu came out of the city to greet them.

Jiang Hao personally walked in the forefront, and as soon as Zheng Sen appeared on horseback, he took off his helmet and knelt down on the side of the road and said, "Sinner Jiang Hao, come to ask the prison and Zheng Shuai for their guilt." ”

When Zheng Sen saw it, he didn't get off the horse, but just looked at Jiang Hao condescendingly on the horse and said: "General Jiang Bing, as the chief soldier of Datong, you are favored by the emperor, but you succumb to the thief, it is really a crime that cannot be punished!" However, His Royal Highness is lenient, and Xu Er will atone for his sins. Why don't you hurry up and thank His Highness for the grace of the Prison State? ”

Jiang Hao stopped and hurriedly kowtowed to the east, thanking the prison country for his leniency. Zheng Sen waited for him to finish this set, then put on a smile and said, "General Jiang Bing, please get up, I don't know what the situation is in Beijing now?" ”

Jiang Hao hurriedly got up from the ground and said to Zheng Sen, who was still sitting on the horse: "Zheng Shuai, the thieves in Beijing have all been eliminated, and the hundred officials who were caught by the thieves have also been released. It's just that they were tortured by thieves and injured, and many people didn't know if they could survive. ”

Zheng Sen nodded and asked, "I wonder what happened to the palace now?" ”

Jiang Hao hurriedly replied: "The sinner was anyway yesterday, so he let the dog take the soldiers to defend the palace, and now the palace is safe and sound." It's just that there were still remnants of bandits in the city last night. There were not many soldiers under the command of the sinners, and the city was chaotic, and the sinners did not dare to intervene for fear of the palace being lost. I heard that those remnants of thieves took advantage of the night to cause chaos, but they harmed many people. But now, these thieves have been destroyed. ”

"You can keep the palace, but it's also a credit." Zheng Sen turned his head again and said to a young officer beside him, "Liu De, you take a battalion and protect the palace." ”

Liu De hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Obey." ”

Zheng Sen turned his head to Jiang Hao again and said, "General Jiang worked hard last night, and now he has to trouble General Jiang to send someone to follow Liu De over and hand over the defense of the palace to us." ”
