Chapter 887: Death for Death
The next morning, Yongxing County.
After the news spread that Li Hongyu led the sailors to the capital, many of the Ming troops in the Gyeonggi area who had surrendered to the Dashun army came to take refuge.
Now is the time to employ people, Li Hongyu did not have the time and energy to entangle the behavior of the Ming army that had surrendered to the enemy, and arranged for them to join the sailors, except for a part of the Dashun army that pursued and fled, and the rest of the people escorted the people to the south.
Li Hongyu did not expect to be able to gather the Ming army in the Gyeonggi area and defeat the Qing army at Shanhaiguan, although these Ming troops were quite numerous, they were like a plate of scattered sand, and they had no combat effectiveness at all.
"Taishi!"
In the camp of the Ming army outside Yongxing County, the generals of the naval division and the Beijing army came out of the camp to welcome Li Hongyu's arrival.
"Tell the bandits in the city that Ben Taishi has come, and let them fulfill their promise." Li Hongyu bowed slightly to the welcoming generals and walked into the handsome tent quickly, quietly waiting for the arrival of the red lady.
It didn't take long for the closed gate of Yongxing City to slowly open, and a woman in red rode out of the city alone on a white horse.
This woman in red with a cold expression is the red lady, her arm is injured and tied with a red bandage, her body is covered with blood, although her face is haggard, her eyes are still sharp, cold and arrogant.
Seeing this, the Ming army outside the city retreated to both sides to make way for the red lady, and the red lady who saw the frost mask entered the Ming army camp, and whispered in private, I didn't expect that there would be a female general in the Dashun army, and she was a heroic and beautiful woman.
When they arrived at the heavily guarded tent, several female soldiers of the Navy Division were already waiting there, these female soldiers were engaged in medical and secretarial work, which was a unique branch of the Navy Division, and there were no female soldiers in the Western Expeditionary Army and the Forbidden Army.
According to the usual practice, the female soldiers conducted a full-body search of the red lady, and after making sure that the red lady did not carry any weapons, they put her in the tent.
In the handsome tent, Li Hongyu sat on the upper seat, and on both sides stood the generals of the sailor and the Beijing army.
When Li Hongyu was looking at the Red Lady, the Red Lady also looked at him curiously, and there was excitement and excitement in her eyes, which made Li Hongyu feel very strange.
"Don't kneel yet!" Seeing the red lady standing there looking at Li Hongyu, the guards on the side suddenly turned pale and shouted loudly.
"The two armies are fighting, and the messenger is not guilty."
Li Hongyu waved his hand disapprovingly when he heard this, and then looked at the red lady and asked in a deep voice, "I heard that there is a female general in your rebellious team who likes to wear red, named 'Red Lady', it must be Your Excellency?" ”
"It's the Red Lady down there."
The red lady was slightly stunned, and then solemnly bowed to Li Hongyu and replied.
She didn't expect Li Hongyu to be able to guess her identity, and she didn't expect Li Hongyuan to be so kind as the first person in the Ming officialdom, and he didn't have the arrogance of a Ming official, which was really unexpected.
"Red lady, you know the power of the Hongyi cannon, the city wall of Yongxing County will not be able to withstand a few cannons at all, and it will definitely be killed and injured countless times."
Li Hongyu's eyes flashed with a look of surprise, he felt that the red lady's reaction at this time was very strange, and he actually bowed down to salute him, and his words were quite gentle, and then his face was completely calm and said:
"Go out of the city and surrender, this Taishi can guarantee your safety, as long as there is no indiscriminate killing of innocents, then this Taishi will spare his life."
"If you commit those crimes, even your king will probably not be able to tolerate them!" With a cold face, Li Hongyu looked at the red lady and said coldly.
The red lady was dumbfounded for a while when she heard this, Li Hongyu only killed innocents indiscriminately, and had nothing else to do, she couldn't refute such a condition at all, because the people who committed these crimes according to the Dashun military regulations should also be killed.
"What will you do with us if we fall?"
After a deep groan, the red lady bit her lip and looked at Li Hongyu, she knew that Li Hongyu had always been true to her word, so she was not worried that Li Hongyu would break his promise, but she didn't know how Li Hongyu would treat those prisoners of the Great Shun Army.
"After all, you are sinners who have broken through the Jingshi, and the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped."
Li Hongyu had already prepared, and when he heard this, he said in an orderly manner, "Ryukyu is now in need of people to reclaim the wasteland, and you will be sent to the Ryukyus for reclamation." ”
"Ryukyu?" The red lady's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise, she had heard that this place, according to the past, was a gathering place for Japanese and armed maritime merchants, and it was an extremely desolate place lying alone.
Get up, the reason why the red lady knows that Ryukyu is related to Li Hongyu, Li Hongyu's deeds of winning Ryukyu were widely spread in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, so that people knew that there was such a place as Ryukyu, but they didn't know anything about the specific situation of Ryukyu.
"Ryukyu is now an important transit point for the Ming Dynasty's overseas trade, with a humid climate and abundant products, and the living environment is much better than that of the turbulent north, at least to fill the stomach."
Li Hongyu knew that the Red Lady thought that Ryukyu was a barren and barren land, so he explained in a deep voice, "Not only you, but also some of the people who moved south this time will also be resettled in Ryukyu!" ”
"Thank you, Master Li." When the red lady heard this, a hanging heart finally let go, Li Hongyu would definitely not harm the people who moved south with him, it seems that she has misunderstood Li Hongyu now, so she bowed to Li Hongyu and said.
"Red lady, you know the whereabouts of the crown prince and the two princes, I don't know where the three highnesses are?" Li Hongyu stared at the red lady and asked quietly, this is the main purpose of his visit this time.
As soon as these words came out, the generals at the scene suddenly became nervous, and they all wanted to know the safety of the crown prince, King Ding, and King Yong.
"Although I didn't see anything in front of me, before I evacuated the capital, I heard that the crown prince and the two princes had been secretly executed and buried at the foot of a mountain outside the city." The red lady hesitated for a moment when she heard this, and then said to Li Hongyu with a solemn expression.
"What?" Li Hongyu stood up immediately when he heard this, so that the orthodoxy of the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty would have no heir.
Boom, the generals on the scene were in a commotion, their expressions were shocked, and they looked at each other, what they were most worried about was inevitably born, who will be in charge of the world in the future?
"Do you know the burial place of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the two princes?" After the initial stunned, Li Hongyu quickly came back to his senses, looked at the red lady with a serious expression and asked.
The red lady nodded gloomily, to be honest, she did not approve of killing the crown prince and King Ding and King Yong, not only her, but also Li Yan and Song Xiance and others did not agree to do so.
After all, most of the Ming Dynasty is still the territory of the Ming army, the Dashun army is just a mistake to attack the capital, except for the northwest are newly recovered areas are also very unstable, need time to operate and take care of, so it is not suitable to fight with the Ming army at this stage, with the prince and Yongwang, King Ding in the hands of the Ming army will not dare to act rashly.
Moreover, the Dashun army is still facing the Qing army, a newly emerging enemy, considering the strong combat effectiveness of the Qing army, the threat to the Dashun army is ten times higher than that of the Ming army, and it is even more necessary to stabilize the Ming army at this time.
But Li Zicheng didn't know what to think, maybe he was angry after the defeat, or he was instigated by others, and he secretly killed the prince, King Heding, and King Yong.
"Taishi, these bandits have killed the emperor and the three highnesses in a row, they are the enemies of my Ming Dynasty, kill them to avenge the emperor and the three highnesses!"
At this time, a general of the Beijing army said to Li Hongyu with an angry expression that he was Daniel Zhang, the chief general of the Beijing army stationed in Tianjin, and that Li Zicheng had sent people to recruit surrender after attacking the capital, but Daniel Zhang sternly refused.
Li Zicheng later sent an army to attack Tianjin, which had more than 10,000 troops, and originally thought it was a dish, but he didn't expect that the Ming army in Tianjin City fought extremely bravely, and moved the people in the city to defend the city, causing heavy casualties to the Dashun army besieging the city.
Originally, Li Zicheng wanted to continue to increase his troops to capture Tianjin, but when he encountered the "recovery of stolen goods and help", none of the generals of the Dashun Army were willing to miss such a good opportunity, and no one wanted to go to Tianjin at this time to work hard, so the matter dragged on.
Li Zicheng and the generals of the Dashun Army would never have thought that failing to take Tianjin was a major mistake for them, so that even Li Hongyu led the sailors to come to the rescue, which made the queen of the Red Lady fall into a heavy siege.
"Taishi, kill them!" With Daniel Zhang taking the lead, the Ming army generals at the scene suddenly raised their fists in their hands excitedly and shouted, wanting to avenge Emperor Chongzhen and the crown prince.
Li Hongyu frowned slightly when he heard this, and pressed his hands downward, now the enemy of the Ming Dynasty is the Qing army, and the Dashun army is just a grasshopper after the autumn, and it has not been able to jump for a few days.
The noisy scene then quieted down, everyone spoiled the red lady and glared angrily, Li Hongyu could understand everyone's mood at this time, in the end, they were the people of the Ming Dynasty, so how could they be indifferent to the death of the crown prince and King Yong and King Ding?
The red lady knew from everyone's reactions that things couldn't be good, no matter how Dashun led to the death of Emperor Chongzhen and the crown prince, King Ding, and King Yong, how could this kind of grudge be resolved in one or two sentences?
"Master Li, the people who participated in the righteous army are all poor people who were forced to be helpless, the emperor committed suicide, and the person who killed the prince and the two princes was the henchmen of King Chuang, and there was no need to kill those innocent people."
Therefore, the red lady secretly smiled bitterly in her heart, took out a red scarf from her body and handed it to the guards on the side, and said solemnly to Li Hongyu, "As long as this red scarf is sent into the city, then the Dashun army in the city will surrender, and the person who leads the army will tell you where the prince and the two princes are buried." ”
Li Hongyu frowned slightly when he heard this, he felt that the words of the red lady seemed a little strange, it stands to reason that she personally went back to the city to tell the Dashun army in the city about the surrender, so there was no need to take the red scarf as a token, as if she was explaining the future.
Don't......
Immediately, Li Hongyu reacted, and looked at the red lady with some surprise, could she kill herself?
"Taishi Li, although Zaixia's life is worthless, as the general of the Dashun Army, he should bear the responsibility for the death of Emperor Chongzhen and the crown prince, and is willing to apologize for his crimes."
Sure enough, as soon as Li Hongyu's thought flashed out, the red lady suddenly pulled out the golden hairpin on her head, and after shouting in a coquettish voice, she struggled to insert it into the artery in her neck, once she was stabbed, even the gods couldn't save her.
At the same time, Li Hongyu didn't have time to think about it, so he grabbed the lottery holder with the order sign on the table in front of him and threw it at the red lady.
