In the early morning of the next day, the mist of Quang Ninh began to lift, and Li Yongfang's newly recruited soldiers began to gather in the city's large school field, waiting for his commander's review, and the first month's military salary was issued, so as to buy the hearts of the army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But when the sun had already risen to the city wall, and the brilliant morning glow in the sky had turned into white clouds, swimming in the sky that had turned from gray to blue and bright, Li Yongfang still did not appear.

Seeing this, Li Yongfang's subordinates thought that their boss might have forgotten about it because he was too tired from running around for days, or maybe he hadn't tasted meat for a few days and had too much fun last night, after all, he heard that the Mongolian woman Saiya, who had been coveted by the handsome man for a long time, seemed to have been secretly summoned into his private house by his handsome Li Yongfang.

Therefore, Li Yongfang's subordinates pulled the recruits back with interest, and Li Yongfang's forehead mansion was still as calm as ever, and no one dared to ask where their foreheads went, because that would be considered to be ulterior motives, and they were Jinyiwei's spies and were immediately executed.

In the end, Li Yongfang's body was only found on the third day after his death, because according to the past practice, even if it was a big event, Li Yongfang would stay outside for at most one day, and often did not have the reason to stay for two nights.

Li Yongfang's son Li Shutai was the first to come to Li Yongfang's private house, and when he arrived, he found that there had already been a fight here, and most of these effective guards around his father were shot in the forehead, and it seemed that the enemy had mastered a very powerful firearm and could put people to death in a moment.

And the corpse without a head and still wearing his own Qing Dynasty uniform was his father, Li Shutai couldn't help but shed tears, but found that there was no corpse named Saiya in the courtyard, so he guessed the truth of the facts, and couldn't help but feel very angry, and immediately shouted: "Immediately block Guangning City!" No one was allowed to leave the city, and everyone in the city was searched strictly to find the Mongol woman named Saiya, and yes, her brother named Batur. ”

Although Li Shutai is Li Yongfang's eldest son, he has always been good at poetry and songs, does not practice horseback archery, and has no prestige in the army, and his younger brother Gang Batai has also been beheaded by the Jinyi Guard, so now that Li Yongfang is dead, he is powerless to restrain his father's subordinates.

In addition, Li Yongfang's careful person was also beheaded, and it was linked to the fate of Ning Wanme, Fan Wencheng, Li Yongfang's son Gangbatai, and Wu's father and son.

Although it was only a strict search, as soon as Li Yongfang died, these Han Eight Banners, who had become a plate of scattered sand, turned this strict search into a large-scale looting.

They did not notice the 1st Brigade of the 1st Army of the Praetorian Guard and the 1st Brigade of the 3rd Army of the Praetorian Guard, and did not immediately strengthen the city defenses, but rushed into the homes of these people who were pacified by them with knives and guns.

Li Yongfang's army had become a leaderless and discouraged military discipline, but the Praetorian Guard army rushed to the city with the help of the local people and stealthily marched into the dense forest outside Quang Ninh and set up artillery fire.

With a bang, a cannonball blew down a wall of Guangning City, but to the astonishment, most of Li Yongfang's soldiers of the Han Eight Banners had already gone to the city to make a fortune, and they did not turn their attention to outside Guangning City because of a cannon shot.

And the 1st Brigade of the Praetorian Guard didn't even use the prepared gas gas, and when they saw that no one appeared on the city wall, they simply rushed over, and when they saw that there was no one on the city wall, they simply climbed along the broken city wall, and then opened the main gate very smoothly.

The cavalry of the Third Brigade rushed in directly, but they also felt very stunned, what happened to Li Yongfang's Han Eight Banners, why was the city gate not guarded.

However, at this moment, he found that several soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty who had shaved their heads were no different from those of Tartars dragging a girl with a dark complexion but a fairly delicate appearance to this side, one of whom was also carrying a chicken in his hand, and the brigade general of the Third Brigade couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this, but he immediately understood why the defense of this Guangning City was so lax, and he hurriedly slashed at these soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

In a very unskilled battle, five or six Han Eight Banner soldiers were in different places like this.

The infantry of the first brigade also rushed into the city one step ahead of the cavalry at this time, and he did not wait for the cavalry to disperse the enemy's army first, because now these soldiers of the Han Eight Banners in the city almost have no formation, and a soldier holding a musket can casually enter a private house and kill several traitors of the Han Eight Banners.

However, these soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, who had robbed the people's property and robbed them like crazy, still had some conscience, but some veterans were still busy running to the Efu Mansion and told the news of the attack of the Praetorian Guards to Li Shutai, who was the only one who could call the shots now.

But Li Shutai is just a literati, and he doesn't know how to integrate forces to break through, or stick to the inner city and ask Huang Taiji for help, after all, for the strategic location of Guangning City, Huang Taiji will not die without help, not to mention that Li Yongfang can also be regarded as a relative of the emperor.

However, Li Shutai's performance was to sit directly on the ground, and said to his father's subordinates dejectedly: "It seems that the general trend has gone now, you can find your own way out." ”

Li Yongfang's subordinates are also veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they were originally determined to follow their eldest son to fight to the death, after all, they have been messing with other people's Lao Tzu for so many years, and they still have to talk about it, but they didn't expect this eldest prince to be so pessimistic and negative, and directly let them disperse.

In this way, these generals who originally wanted to fight with Li Shuitai for Li Yongfang's sake suddenly lost the heart to fight, and they dispersed, preparing to contact the Praetorian Guard officers who came to Quang Ninh City to surrender or find a way to break out of the siege themselves.

However, in fact, Li Shutai is very calm now, because he is a literati, so he is also more particular about the dignity of the literati, that is to say, the so-called reputation of winning a loyal and righteous death.

For a pedantic person like Li Shutai, this is a rare opportunity to become famous, so his heart is calm.

Without asking the Praetorian Guards to do anything, Li Shutai ordered the housekeeper of his house: "Go and call the wife, the eldest grandmother, and the young masters and ladies in the house." ”

The so-called wife is Li Shutai's mother, and the eldest grandmother is his own wife, and Li Shutai called them all at this time, but not to escape with his family, but to let them complete the great mission of martyrdom like himself.

In Li Shutai's view, it seems that he died alone in loyalty, and it seems that it is not enough to cry ghosts and gods in the world!

Therefore, he wants the whole family to follow him to accomplish this great undertaking.

Therefore, while ordering people to gather all the relatives in the family, he also ordered people to prepare a bowl of wine for everyone in the house, and ordered people to add arsenic to each bowl of wine!

However, Li Shutai himself would not use this way of drinking poisonous wine to fulfill his loyalty, he was already ready to end his life with a white silk, and use this to prove his innocence.

Li Yongfang's family was gathered, and now that Li Yongfang is dead, they have already begun to wear linen and filial piety, so most of them have a sad face when they gather.

But they didn't know what Li Shutai was going to do, but Li Shutai's stepmother, Li Yongfang's wife Li Yongfang, the daughter of Bel Abatai, found the clue, pointed to a white silk on the beam, and asked, "Tai'er, what are you going to do?" ”

"Mother, I have been in the Qing Dynasty for three years, but the national fortunes have begun to show signs of decline, because I have no loyal backbone in the Qing Dynasty to be fully just! Today, let me Li Shutai be my first minister of the Qing Dynasty, and mother, you are the daughter of Baylor, born in the royal family, you should keep the name of the festival, and the rest of you are the people of the Li family, that is, the ghosts of the Li family, and you should also go to the national disaster with me! ”

As he spoke, Li Shutai personally came to his stepmother with a bowl of poisoned wine: "Please drink it, mother!" ”

"No, no, I don't drink, Li Shutai, you are simply crazy, you want to die for me in the name of loyalty and righteousness, why do you want to pull us!"

This Li Yongfang's wife was obviously unwilling to die with this Li Shutai, but Li Shutai didn't seem to be willing to stop there, so he actually pinched his stepmother's throat directly and poured it in: "Mother, forgive me, since my father has died for the Qing Dynasty, as a royal noble, you should not leave a little stigma." ”

Li Yongfang's wife swallowed a few times, wailed a few times in pain, and then stared at Li Shutai like this.

But Li Shutai was unmoved, and still had a smile on his face, seemed to be very satisfied with this, and turned his eyes to his wife, Ye Heshi, who was also the daughter of a certain Baylor, Ye Heshi, who had always relied on himself to be the daughter of a nobleman and had some Hedong lion characteristics, felt frightened for the first time about his cowardly husband, and couldn't help but retreat a few steps: "Master, I don't drink, I don't drink!" ”

"Yuan Liang, go and feed your mother to drink, it can be regarded as fulfilling your last filial piety!"

In Li Shutai's view, it is a good thing to observe the festival for the Qing Dynasty, and such a good thing should not happen to himself, but should let the people who are close to him have such glory.

And it is the best thing for the son to help his mother complete this great act of keeping the festival, and the son can be regarded as doing the greatest filial piety for his mother, after all, this is also the whole mother's honor.

Therefore, although Li Shutai was dissatisfied with his stepmother, he still chose to do this great filial piety in front of her.

Li Yuanliang, the son of Li Shutai, who was originally going to do the post of the head of the Manchu household department in the original history, is now just a child, but under Li Shutai's words and deeds, he is already a very obedient child, Li Shutai said that he should serve the poisonous wine to Ye Heshi, and he really honestly served the poisonous wine to Ye Heshi: "Mother, please be martyred!" ”

Ye He's tears were pouring down, and she couldn't understand how this could happen now, her own son would actually come to her with a bowl of poisoned wine for him to drink.

Li Shutai's request, she could refuse, but she didn't know how to refuse the poisonous wine brought by her son, and she took the poisonous wine so ghostly, nodded and said: "Okay, good, mother drinks, I drink it!" ”

Ye Heshi raised his head and drank, choked a few times, and fell on his back.

Li Yuanliang was already in tears, turned to Li Shutai and said, "Father, let the child go with his mother." ”

Li Shutai nodded with satisfaction: "This is very good, it is not in vain that your mother has raised you for so many years, and it is not in vain that your father taught you the way of being a son." ”

Li Yuanliang didn't say anything, just walked and picked up a bowl of poisonous wine and drank it, and then lay in Ye He's arms.

The same is true of other relatives, all of whom chose to commit suicide under Li Shutai's coercion and temptation.

After a long time, the masters of the entire Efu Mansion fell to the ground, but Li Shutai still smiled.

As a defender, he was very satisfied with his masterpiece, and he let his entire Li family die for his own Qing Dynasty, plus he was about to choose to cut himself, such a move would definitely go down in the history of his Qing Dynasty and be remembered for centuries.

Because everyone knows that in Quang Ninh City, there was once a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty named Li Shutai, who chose to die for his whole family before the invasion of foreign enemies.

As a deeply educated Confucian, Li Shutai didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this, and in his eyes, his master was the Qing Dynasty, and he should be a ghost of the Qing Dynasty.

But to Li Shutai's disappointment, at the moment when he put his head into the white silk, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard had already rushed into the Elu Mansion and decisively saved Li Shutai.

Li Shutai, who had always wanted to die for his Qing Dynasty, couldn't help but be furious, because these Ming people prevented his great ideal of martyrdom, which was more uncomfortable than killing himself.

However, as soon as Li Shutai thought that since he couldn't cut himself, if he died because of scolding the enemy, it seemed to be a manifestation of the name of loyalty, so Li Shutai scolded the Praetorian Guard soldiers again: "You and other dog thieves, occupy my land in the Qing Dynasty, plunder my people in the Qing Dynasty, are really like jackals' ears, I hate to drink their blood and eat their flesh!" ”

"Dog thieves? You're a fucking dog thief, a dog traitor, how much benefit do the Tartars give you, you are so loyal, you are just a man who has forgotten his ancestors! ”

A Praetorian Guard officer scolded Li Shutai a few words back, and Li Shutai wanted to scold again, but at this time, the other Praetorian Guard soldiers followed suit and scolded: "Dog traitor, you are a dog traitor!" ”

"Traitor?"

Li Shutai was scolded at this time, and he didn't dare to fight back, and he didn't expect that he would actually get the title of "traitor", which may also be infamy.
