As soon as the news of the Northern Expedition of the 300,000 Qi troops under the command of the King of Qi came out, it shook the entire north.

Everyone is wondering, this war is extraordinary, is it the shame of the newborn Dashun regime, or the continuation of the glory of the Qi army and Dingding Yanjing?

Just when the people of the world were arguing about this, there were quiet changes within the Dashun army.

In the first month after entering the city of Beijing, due to the strict restraint of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, the Dashun army did not lack military salaries, so the military discipline was acceptable, and there was no offense against the people.

However, since the second month, there have been sporadic looting of civilians.

The inner city of Beijing is full of soldiers wearing Dashun military uniforms, and unlike the Qi army, these people do not patrol the streets, nor do they stand guard, but kick the door door.

"Bang!"

"Bring the money, or I will cut you down!"

A group of soldiers of the Dashun Army armed with swords and guns directly and brutally kicked open the door of the house, and after they rushed in, there was a burst of exclamations and screams inside.

"Bring it to you!"

"Hey, hey, little girl, follow the uncle, I'll eat and drink spicy!"

The soldiers of the Dashun army and the people compete for property and food, if the other party really does not give, it is easy to do, directly wield a knife to kill people, and see a woman with a slight posture is the overlord hard bow, and there is chaos everywhere.

There were no generals of the Dashun Army to stop it, on the contrary, almost all the generals gradually joined the ranks, but they naturally could not be ordinary people, they were specifically targeting the big families in Beijing.

The scene was in stark contrast to the time when the Dashun army had just entered the city, and on that day, countless people abandoned Emperor Chongzhen and the Ming Dynasty to meet the Dashun Wangshi, who could bring them a peaceful life.

However, only a month after the Dashun army entered the city, it completely split from a king who acted for the heavens to a heinous thief, even if Li Zicheng could not stop it.

"Kick the door for Lao Tzu, take it as you like when you go in, and the woman stays!"

"Order!"

"Hahaha."

Each of these soldiers is full of money, and there are no less than three or five women from good families in their hands, but they are still unwilling to stop.

The soldiers who made trouble all had their words, because at this time, the food and salary of the Dashun army had been cut off for a while, and they were forced to rob the people's property because they were really hungry.

Li Zicheng, Niu Jinxing and others are still one of the few people in the Dashun army who have big things in their hearts, and they were worried after hearing such chaos, and they discussed it for days, but they never found any solution.

Because the Dashun Army seems to be neat and unified, but it is uneven inside, and the leaders of the peasant army respect Li Zicheng on the surface, but in fact, they actually have their own ideas secretly.

When Chongzhen was in the fourteenth year, Liu Guoneng defected to Wang Zheng, and now he has become the deputy general of a province in Henan, followed by Li Zicheng's forcible annexation of Xiao Yuanying, and Yuan Shizhong defected to Wang Zheng with the remnants.

This has greatly damaged Li Zicheng's reputation as the king, and many people have preserved their own strength, and want to keep it until it is available as a hole card bargain.

What's more, although Liu Zongmin was killed, his subordinate Bai Wang was born, and Li Zicheng did not take the opportunity to annex many of the original Liu Zongmin's subordinates, but these people had a lot of complaints about him, thinking that it was Li Zicheng who connived at Niu Jinxing's mistake to let General Quan die.

In addition to Liu Zongmin's original subordinates, the rest are Liu Fangliang, He Jin and others, and their soldiers and horses are enough to compete with Li Zi's court.

Therefore, when Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing and others discussed this matter, their fundamental purpose was not how to stop the imminent chaos, but how to satisfy the Dashun army.

Soon, Li Zicheng's eyes were fixed on a wealthy group of people, that is, the officials of the Beijing division who were angrily scolded by Emperor Chongzhen, who had been martyred.

When the bodies of Chongzhen and Wang Chengen were found, it was three days after they attacked Beijing, and if Li Zicheng hadn't forced them to mourn for Chongzhen, I am afraid that only a handful of these people could really come.

Since their money was obtained by corruption and bending the law, and they were stingy and refused to take it out at the time of the national crisis, then the Dashun Army for Tianxing naturally had a reason to let them spit it all out.

On August 3 of the first year of Lu Jianguo, Li Zicheng did not know that Wang Zheng, the king of Qi, had led an army of 300,000 troops in Nanjing two days ago to swear an oath.

Li Zicheng issued an edict against all officials of the former Ming Dynasty, which imposed the amount of silver taels that civil officials at all levels in the former Ming Dynasty should pay, and published a document denouncing the officials of the former Ming Dynasty.

“... The king is not very dark, isolated and obscured, the ministers are all for personal gain, there is absolutely no loyalty to the party and the public, the people are fat and the people are anointed, and the gentry are benefited, and they should be tortured to return the red people..."

In this document, it is stipulated that the ministers of the cabinet must pay at least 100,000 silver, the ministers of the ministries and the Jinyi Weishuai of the North and South Towns must pay 70,000 silver, the officials of the six departments and many imperial histories must pay 30,000 to 50,000, and even the Hanlin editors must pay at least 10,000.

As soon as this inscription came out, the focus within the Dashun army immediately shifted to many officials in Beijing in the former Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers broke down the gate of the mansion and dragged these people out of it and encircled them in a large compound.

If you want to get out, you can only let the people in the house take the silver to redeem, and it can only be cash, which makes the people in Beijing panic and restless.

"No silver, really no silver!"

Although an official of the former Ming Dynasty was held to the neck with a knife, he howled and shouted, saying that he had been poor all his life, his innocent heart, the sun and the moon could be seen, the sky could be proven, and there was no silver in his home.

Bai Wang sneered when he saw it, and only glanced back.

Immediately after, a group of Dashun soldiers hurled out, and when they came back not long after, they carried several large chests, which contained a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, with a total value of more than 100,000 taels.

One of the leading Dashun officers spat at the official and said, "Thanks to the young masters, they will be buried a little later!" ”

"Poof..."

As soon as he heard this, Bai Wang said in his heart Sure enough, none of these officials in the court are good things!

Thinking of this, the knife in his hand suddenly moved, and a deep and visible big hole suddenly appeared on the official's neck, his face was full of disbelief, and he fell to the ground holding the neck that was gushing blood, and he was silent after a few weak convulsions.

The rest of the Ming Dynasty officials were shocked and retreated, their eyes were uncertain, and they all saw a look of fear in their eyes, and at this moment, a chaotic footsteps came from outside the door.

Wei Zaode, the former chief assistant of the Ming cabinet, was thrown into the courtyard on a dying basis, his ten fingers were clipped, and he was covered in blood.

"I... I'll take..."

Bai Wang nodded expressionlessly, squatted down and asked:

"How much do you donate?"

Wei Zaode raised his head and said weakly:

"I'll take 30,000 taels, 30,000 taels can't work, let me go...."

Hearing this, Bai Wang got up and kicked him down, and said angrily:

"Come on, torture me again!"

"Yesterday, a Hanlin editor took 50,000 taels, and you are a dignified cabinet chief, and you only have 30,000 taels at home!?"

Speaking of this, Bai Wang glanced at the general in charge of torture and said fiercely:

"Send someone to keep an eye on the Wei Mansion, and if he doesn't pay it, bring his daughter over to see the general!"

Wei Zaode kept shouting when he was pulled down, but the other party was a thief, and he didn't care about it at all, as long as you didn't take the money, it would be a big punishment.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are disloyal, the ministers are disloyal!"

"I regret it, I regret that I didn't do my best for the emperor at the beginning, and I ended up in the situation I am in today, I regret it——"

That night, Wei Zaode, the last cabinet assistant of the Ming Dynasty, was overly tortured, and after screaming a few words, he died tragically in prison due to a split brain.

Immediately afterwards, the Wei Mansion was raided overnight by the Dashun military guards, the men were killed, and the female dependents were dragged naked to parade through the streets.
