Recommend this book, the author of Han'er is not a slave, the arrogant new work "Si Lijian", the theme of the late Ming Dynasty, the beginning of the eunuch party.

………………

The new army is the only hope of the Manchus since the loss of Jiangnan, when Wu Sangui set off a rebellion, the new army won the battle, and the Manchu Qing renewed their lives, but that was only a temporary relief.

However, the biggest opponent of the Qing court was not Wu Sangui, nor the Yongli court that Wu Sangui invoked, but Chen Wen and his Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming army groups, who recaptured the land of Jiangnan, who completely broke the myth of the invincibility of the Eight Banners Army, and even more they forced the Manchu Qing to the edge of the abyss.

At this moment, the Qing army defeated Cangzhou, if you look at it purely from the land area, it is still a behemoth that is not inferior to the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming army groups.

However, the matter of national strength has never been calculated in this way, and the advantages and disadvantages of the population, economic aggregate, grain output, industrial output value, and even the system are good or bad.

Even if these are not mentioned, the decisive battle cannot stop the pace of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies from continuing to advance, and the Mongolian departments will quickly centrifuge - the Aixin Jueluo family is not a golden family, and the so-called appeal is nothing more than relying on the conquest of Monan Mongolia by the Eight Banner Army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, once the hands that choke the Mongolians' necks are out of strength, they will not hesitate to stand up and break with them.

Without Mongolia, all that remains is Liaodong, Korea, and the regions of Zhili, Shaanxi, and Shanxi. Today, when Shanhaiguan was cut off, Liaodong and North Korea have long been an enclave. Even the two places in Shanxi and Shanxi, which are so dilapidated, are not enough to be the foundation of a dynasty facing the pressure of hundreds of thousands of troops.

What's more, this alien colonial dynasty has lost its last army, and from the moment the Chinese army collapsed in the artillery fire, the Manchu Qing no longer existed, and all that remained was nothing more than a broken shell and a group of walking corpses with only one or two breaths left.

Under the joint efforts of the Young Guards Division and the Third Division of the Chinese Army, the Wuwei Central Army was the first to collapse, and the rout attacked the nearby Gongwei Army and the Wuwei Left Army. Under the offensive of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the Prince of Heshuo Yu Doni and the Prince of Heshuo Xian led the cavalry of their headquarters to abandon the army and fled, and the Wang Tun of Duoluo Kexi County died in battle. The right wing ceased to exist, the Chinese army completely collapsed, the left wing of the Praetorian Guard was unable to support itself, and the whole army was annihilated in the encirclement of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

From the battlefield to the north, on the ground within a radius of dozens of miles, the Northern Expeditionary Army pursued and killed the Qing army. The soldiers chased and killed in front, the firefighters cleaned up the battlefield in the rear, and Cangzhou went down without a fight, but Shunzhi ran away, making Chen Wen pounce.

"According to the description of the eunuchs, the slave chief Fu Lin fled with the imperial guards when the army collapsed."

"What a quick response."

sneered, but Chen Wen was not in a hurry. Shunzhi is a big figure and will always show his deeds. And even if he could really escape to Mongolia, which Chen Wen couldn't reach for the time being, those Mongols would definitely send him, even if it was a corpse.

According to the predetermined plan, the Danyang Division, as a reserve, will cooperate with the cavalry of various divisions to undertake the task of pursuing first, and the other divisions will take a short rest after hard fighting, and then advance northward tomorrow, striving to complete the recovery of the border wall under Zhili before the New Year of the 14th year of Yongli.

This year's plan is so far, and next year it will complete the comprehensive acquisition of the Han land south of the Great Wall, Liaodong, and North Korea. Next, the enthronement ceremony can justifiably continue to implement the new policy.

"Your Highness, in addition, there is one more thing. The personal eunuch of the slave chief Fulin confessed that the traitor Liu Cheng and the slave chief had broken out in an armed conflict, and Liu Cheng went to take over the rout of the army on his own shortly after the collapse of the right army of Wuwei, and the remnants of the army had also disappeared from the battlefield and have not been seen since. ”

The pursuit continued, and some Qing troops who could not escape chose to fight to the death, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the search. Chen Wen heard about Liu Cheng and looked at the sand table on the command platform, but he couldn't help but shake his head.

"If you are together, you will divide with profit. The slave chief Fu Lin used the traitor's knowledge of our army, and the traitor used the captive court to increase his power. Now that the building has collapsed, and the slave chiefs can't trust the Han people, it is inevitable to tear their faces. As for Liu Cheng, if he escaped alone, it would take several years to find him out; However, since he is reluctant to power and always wants to manipulate authority, his death will not be long. ”

………………

Leaving the imperial camp, Liu Cheng rushed to the place where the rout was gathered under the banner of leading the rout to assist the right flank in the battle. The five towns of the cavalry have gone to the mantis arm as a car with the curb, during which Mulima and Li Zhifang have gathered more than 3,000 routs, which have been divided into various towns, and the system is scattered.

Co-Commander Mulima and Chief of Staff Li Zhifang are still doing their best to rebuild the defeated troops, and reorganize the troops that have lost too many officers or non-commissioned officers, which can be said to be sparing no effort.

When Liu Cheng arrived, the work was far from over, but he didn't come to speed up the process, at least he never thought of doing it in this place.

"Lord Nala, unfortunately, the emperor ordered Ben to act as the president of the Wuwei Right Army. Now that the right wing has collapsed, the Chinese army has Gong Guards in the direction to help, and our department is broken, so we should turn to the left wing and assist Prince Zheng to break the Zhejiang bandits in front of him. ”

The name of the forehead was originally not liked by Liu Cheng, and he had never called himself like this, because this kind of title was only on the basis of Kong Sizhen's personality, not with him as the main body. However, this time, such a title that he doesn't like can be regarded as his own family member Liu Cheng is Aixin Jueluo family, his identity is different, and the weight of his words is naturally incomparable.

When Liu Cheng's order was issued, Li Zhifang, the chief of staff he had picked up, took the lead in expressing his approval, and several of the commanders below also expressed their approval and even desire for this order.

This is the main direction of attack of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the battle just now is also devastating, and even the cavalry has just fallen into it, although the Northern Expeditionary Army has not continued to advance in the entire direction, but the reason why the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall is still right. As for the switch to the left, success or failure is not the first priority, the first priority is to get out of this dangerous place.

Liu Cheng falsely passed the holy decree, which was in harmony with the thoughts of the generals, but unexpectedly, without waiting for the generals to follow the order, Mulima objected to Liu Cheng's statement as always: "Eh, there is no conclusion on whether President Nara is alive or dead. Besides, if the words are so conclusive, the last general will dare to ask where the holy decree is? ”

Mulima is the co-commander, but at the same time, it is also the nail that the Qing court buried in the right army of Wuwei when Liu Cheng was the president, which was used to contain Liu Cheng. All this was based on the distrust of the Manchurian aristocracy in the system, and Liu Cheng was just a representative. Liu Cheng is very clear about this, but he has never broken it, and he still retains at least face with each other. However, at this point, the situation is extremely urgent, and the anger in his chest immediately burns, and all the previous things are poured on the anger like boiling oil.

"The emperor gave the forehead Shang Fang sword, Jinkou Yuyan, seeing this sword is like seeing the king."

Shang Fangjian's idea originated from the Legalist theory that the Son of Heaven had the power to kill and seize the officials and people of the world, but China was vast, and the emperor could not appear at any time thousands of miles away, so there was a compromise phenomenon of representing part of the imperial power with gifts, and Shang Fangjian appeared.

Liu Cheng raised Shunzhi's imperial sword, and all the generals fell to the ground one after another, only Mulima still seemed a little hesitant, and the reason for his hesitation can also be said to be reasonable.

"This dynasty has never said Shang Fang Jianyi."

The Manchu dynasty was the pinnacle of absolute monarchy, and the Qing court also had its own system, and the Shang Fang sword used by the Han dynasty and even the tyrannical Yuan did not exist in the Qing Dynasty. For example, the saber of Kupilon was given to the university scholar Fu Heng for Qianlong during the Qianlong period to kill the grandson of Kubilong, who was defeated in Jinshan, but it was only to kill specific people, and there was no right to dispose of the old fashion sword.

Mulima said that he himself was not sure. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was founded in too short a short time, and the tradition had not yet been completely formed, so it was not impossible that Shunzhi would give Liu Cheng a whim to use the Shang Fang sword to cut off the military aircraft. However, Liu Cheng's identity as a Han man, and after he received the post of Xieun, he has already formed a containment and defense against Liu Cheng, even if he is not sure, a test or two is always indispensable.

Under the banner, the co-ordinator and the old president, who had received the emperor's order, stood against each other, and the generals fell to the ground, completely at a loss. Seeing this, Li Zhifang hurriedly got up and persuaded Mulima to follow power in an emergency. Unexpectedly, before Li Zhifang's words were finished, Liu Cheng silently put down Shang Fang's sword, but he broke out and slashed it with a sword.

The armor on his body was like paper, and his abdomen had opened a huge opening, and he only felt that the intestines coiled in it were like a torrent breaking through the embankment, and it was completely useless to intercept it with both hands.

Mu Lima raised his head in disbelief, whether he was surprised by the high level of Liu Cheng's martial arts, or shocked by his disposition at this moment, no one could know. Even Mulima herself, after raising her head to see it, fell to the ground, letting her colorful intestines guide the blood to the ground.

Liu Cheng deliberately cut off his waist, in order to let Mulima, the banner man who had a lot of restraint on him, torture him for a while in pain, in order to vent the hatred in his heart.

At this moment, his people raised their bloody swords, and shouted loudly to the generals: "The battle situation is changing rapidly, and every moment will determine the outcome of the battle. ”

"At the end, the last general will not dare, and the last general will strictly obey President Liu's orders."

Liu Cheng's thunderbolt method shocked everyone present, and even Li Zhifang looked at him in disbelief when he looked at him again. However, with Mulima as an example, no one dared to show the slightest objection to Liu Cheng's order, and the rout army left here as fast as possible and headed towards Cangzhou City in the rear.

The reason why he went to Cangzhou first, instead of going straight to the left flank, was, in Liu Cheng's words, that the army was organized to form chaos and the infantry was used to help, but it was easy to become a burden to the Praetorian Guard. It is better to change into a war horse, tie a branch to the tail of the horse, and roll up smoke and dust, giving the Northern Expeditionary Army the illusion that the Qing army's reinforcements have arrived.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is the basic military textbook of the Qing army's high-level leaders, and this statement may be exaggerated, but the story of Zhang Fei drinking off the Dangyang Bridge is well known, and the role of the smoke and dust billowing behind Zhang Fei is also known to the generals.

This statement is actually very lucky, but the evacuation of the right wing is the consensus of these remnants of the defeated generals, and Liu Cheng's proposal just satisfies their thirst. There are spare war horses and oxen and carriages in Cangzhou City, and only with the ability to maneuver can you do more things, whether it is to help the war, or to escape, at this moment, the generals will look at Liu Cheng again, he is already a living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering, except for the smell of blood, which seems to spoil the atmosphere.

The brigade rushed to Cangzhou, and by the time they arrived in a hurry, the Chinese army had already collapsed under artillery fire. Liu Cheng temporarily changed the order, seeing that the overall situation of the Qing army's defeat was doomed, the generals and the defeated soldiers thought about the families of the Tianjin Acropolis, so under the guidance of Liu Cheng, they became the first new army to escape from the battlefield, even earlier than Shunzhi.

can have today's quick decision, Liu Cheng actually had a plan as early as when Shunzhi took away the military power of the right army of Wuwei and secretly became the chief of staff of the imperial camp. Chen Wen will not let him go, and the Qing court can't trust him, and there is a possibility that he will be abandoned afterwards. In this case, both Manchu Qing and Chen Wen will lose, especially if they want to die on the battlefield, so that he can have the spare strength and space to develop his own forces.

Since becoming the chief of staff of the imperial camp, Liu Cheng has painstakingly planned this matter. However, the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Ming armies were stronger, and he could only think about it for himself on the basis of doing his best to help the Qing court defeat the Northern Expeditionary Army. But in today's battle, his best efforts were nothing in front of Chen Wen, and the right army of Wuwei suffered a devastating blow, which really made him lose his glasses.

Shunzhi's meanness and lack of kindness strengthened Liu Cheng's mind, but seeing that the Qing army's chances of victory were already extremely small, he angrily left alone. The right army of Wuwei was trained by him, and it was only a few months before the military power left his hands, and as soon as he died, coupled with Shunzhi's sword, it could be used as an order at the beginning, and then, the prestige in the army, plus Chen Wen would not let go of the intimidation of the banner people, and he could always control this remnant army.

The Qing army was defeated, and Liu Cheng rolled up a round of Cangzhou's war horses, carriages, and some grain, grass, and weapons. The families of the right army of Wuwei are all in the Tianjin Acropolis, and their first thing is to return to Tianjin, although it is cumbersome to take their families, but what Liu Cheng needs more now is to gather people's hearts, and it is a law to flee to other places with their families.

Next, the Qing army was defeated and fled, and in the rhythm of the Northern Expeditionary Army's pursuit, Liu Cheng had already calculated the route, and the war horses and carriages also provided a lot of capacity and speed, and he fled back to the Tianjin Acropolis a few days later.

It was not for nothing that they fled back before them, they all fled purely as cavalry, and the advance of the Northern Expeditionary Army had to maintain a rhythm, and some of the Qing troops did escape from the pursuit range for the time being. However, there were only the families of the right army of Wuwei in the Tianjin Acropolis, and the Qing army that arrived in advance plundered a number of boats and fled to the capital, and when Liu Cheng arrived with the remnants, there was no boat at the mouth of the Sancha River, even the fishing boats for fishermen were gone.

"President, what's next?"

The Northern Expeditionary Army may chase after it at any time, and Chen Wen will not let go of the banner man, which is what Liu Cheng has brainwashed many times on the road. The crying in the city shook the sky, for the sake of those soldiers who died in the battle, but there was no shortage of the fear and helplessness of the families of those defeated soldiers for the future.

Li Zhifang was picked up by Liu Cheng, and he has done his best all these years, and this time he also obeyed the command, and fully assisted Liu Cheng to knead this rout into one. He asked here that Liu Cheng must also make his position clear to this cronie, and the success of the next thing will be greater.

"Yeyuan, the current situation, to the east is the sea, is the Shanhaiguan that fell into the hands of the enemy, the Mongolian Tatars to the north are unreliable, and to the south is the territory of Zhejiang bandits, and there is only a way to survive to the west."

To the west of Tianjin Wei is Baoding Mansion, to the west of Baoding Mansion is Zhending Mansion, just like this, since it is not enough at all, Liu Cheng's plan is to continue to the west, cross Shanxi, take Shaanxi, re-take the old road of Wu Sangui, and lead Southern Mongolia into Yumen Pass. And the current situation, once the Qing court collapses, Moxi Mongolia has no object to show goodwill, and it will no longer be as aggrieved as Wu Sangui to die in the siege.

This is not the last way to live, as long as you let go of everything, there is still a lot of hope for hiding and living in seclusion, such as so many vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty, among which there are many "national deaths without a trace", and for example, Yang Qilong, who launched an anti-Qing uprising, can hide for so many years, and it is even said that the last one who was caught was not his real body. Whether it is hidden in the city or in the wilderness, as long as you work hard, you will always have a chance to live.

However, as Chen Wen said, Liu Cheng can't let go of his power, everything he has done so far is to obtain greater power, even if it is in danger today, the first thing he thinks of is to give it a go, not to quietly retreat.

Liu Cheng said, and Li Zhifang also expressed his willingness to continue to serve. In this regard, Liu Cheng inevitably made some descriptions of the future prospects after some co-optation.

"Backed by Moxi Mongolia, there is always a way to live. Chen Wen destroyed the Qing Dynasty, it is one thing to collect the Han land, and the more important thing is definitely to ascend the throne and call the emperor and end the division of the southwest, which will take him too much time. ”

"What the president said is very true, and the lower officials will do their best to repay the president's kindness."

After the answer, Liu Cheng and Li Zhifang also acted separately. The transfer of the families of the remnants of the Wuwei Right Army was of great importance, and Liu Cheng also planned to take a group of experienced officials and craftsmen from the Tianjin factory, so as not to start all over again when they arrived in the northwest.

In terms of officials, Zhang Daocheng and Hao Zongfu of the Tianjin factory and his party, and Zhu Zhixi and others Liu Cheng, who were in the capital, also sent cronies to the rescue. Of course, if possible, Kong Sizhen will also be brought out, not to mention anything else, Henan Admiral Line Guoan is still struggling there, although Liu Cheng hates this, but if he can use this to win over an army of no size, it is not unbearable for some time.

Cronies have been dispatched, saving people is one thing, since killing Mulima, Liu Cheng, who has endured humiliation for many years, has become obsessed with this feeling of happiness and revenge, and naturally it is indispensable to use another person to pay tribute to his efforts over the years.

"I'd rather finish my old man, I didn't expect you to have today."

Liu Cheng led an army alone, and I had a lot of suppression in weapons. This is adhering to the collective will of the Manchurian aristocracy, but Liu Cheng deeply hated Ning Wan and his people, and since he escaped back here, he did not hesitate to arrest him.

"You should know that those things are not my intention. After all, we are all Han Chinese, and the master has spoken, how dare I not listen......"

Escorted to the gate of the Tianjin factory, the craftsmen have been escorted out by Liu Cheng's people to watch. Ropes were tied to Ning Wan's neck, wrists and ankles, and on the other side were five sturdy war horses.

"If it weren't for you deliberately suppressing the weapons and equipment of my Wuwei Right Army, how could the imperial court defeat Cangzhou. Today, Lao Tzu avenges the brothers of the Wuwei Right Army who died in Cangzhou. Come on, pull it for Lao Tzu! ”

In Liu Cheng's angry shouts, the soldiers who were full of hatred for Ning Wan and me also pulled their war horses and slowly advanced. The rope lay quietly on the ground, and with the footsteps of the war horse, it soared and straightened, and then even Ning Wan and I rose into the air like a rope. From the forehead, to Liu Ye, to grandfather, ancestor, and in the end, but seeing that he was no longer able to return to the sky, the words of the traitor and the dog thief shouted, and they quickly melted into a scream of pain under the pull of the rope.

The horse kept moving forward, and my neck, arms, and legs seemed to be gradually stretched. However, even monkey bands always have limits, let alone Ning Wan, a sixty-five-year-old old man. Wait until a stabbing pull sounds, head. The heart-rending screams of the two arms and one of the left legs stopped as blood splattered out, leaving only one right leg dragging the mutilated corpse to scratch a bloody trail on the ground.

The five horses divided the corpse of Ning Wan me, Liu Cheng was very happy, here is nothing more than the inability to catch the Manchurian relatives and dignitaries, and even more because of the identity, he can only use Ning Wan, an old traitor, to vent his anger.

When the matter at the Tianjin factory was completed, Liu Cheng took Zhang Daocheng, Hao Zongfu and others back to the Tianjin Acropolis to meet Li Zhifang, and Li Zhifang's work had already been completed. The families who had been transferred with the army were placed in an old camp, managed by Liu Cheng's cronies, and the other generals served as strikers and guards, respectively, to protect the army.

This is a method that Liu Cheng learned when he followed Chen Wenshi from Nantang Camp to move from Tiantai Mountain to Jinhua Mansion, and if the family and soldiers were not together, there would be no result that the soldiers took care of their own families when they were attacked, and turned into a plate of scattered sand. Now that the preparations have been completed, although it is already afternoon, he does not dare to stay for another day, lest he will be caught up by the Northern Expeditionary Army.

"According to the original plan, the second and third towns were to be the vanguard of the army, the first town and the Eight Banners of the Auxiliary Guard were to guard the old camp with the commander, and the fourth and fifth towns were the rearguard. Go out of the city in turn, don't mess up the rules. ”

Among the eight banners of the garrison in Tianjin, the generals at all levels were here, waiting for Liu Cheng's orders. In addition to the remnants of the five towns of the Wuwei Right Army, there were also hundreds of people who assisted in guarding the Eight Banners, and under the leadership of the Han Army Banner Meile Zhangjing Sun Sike, who had fled back to the capital, he was willing to transfer with Liu Cheng.

Sun Sike is not a party with him, but Liu Cheng is willing to accept this army. It is easy to do things with more people, and when you arrive in the northwest, one more soldiers and horses from the headquarters can better settle down, which is also the proper meaning.

During this time, Liu Cheng gave an order, and the generals took the order. However, the president of the fifth town trembled a little in his eyes, but he was immediately looked at by Liu Cheng.

"Jin Tong, if you have something to say, just say it."

Liu Cheng behaved as gently as possible, but that Jin Zhengqi was frightened, and then shouted loudly, and then pulled out his knife to kill.

The mutation was sudden, but with Liu Cheng's martial arts, a pariah who was a Bangzi a few years ago, he couldn't help him. But Jin Zhengqi moved like this, and even the other four commanders also rose up.

In the hall of the yamen, several high-ranking officers fought chaotically, Liu Cheng held Shunzhi's sword, and fought five commanders with the strength of one person, although it was difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, and he was constantly slashed between flashes and movements, but every time he hit with all his strength, he could also cleanly take away the life of a mutineer, and it seemed that he did not fall behind at all.

Liu Cheng's martial arts are so high, Li Zhifang heard Zhu Zhixi mention it, and Zhu Zhixi also learned about it from Zou Zhuoming, who took Liu Cheng out of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. When Liu Cheng was attacked by Ni Liangxu, he was not only unscathed, but he was also killed within a few moves, which is very incomparable. It's just that what he didn't expect was that Liu Cheng's martial arts didn't seem to have regressed in the slightest over the years, but had improved a lot, which surprised everyone.

After killing three people in a row, the hands of the remaining commanders of the first and third towns holding the knives also trembled slightly. In contrast, although Liu Cheng was injured, it was just some flesh wounds. The outcome was decided, Sun Sike stood up without hesitation, drew his sword and cooperated with Liu Cheng to kill the two commanders. But at this moment, with the sound of a gunshot, the battle situation took a sharp turn, and Liu Cheng, who turned his head, looked at everything that happened in front of him in disbelief.

"Ye Yuan, it turns out that you are the mastermind!"

The flintlock handcuff in Li Zhifang's right hand was given to him by Liu Cheng, and the smoke from the muzzle of the gun had not yet dissipated, and Sun Sike had already fallen in a pool of blood. At this time, Li Zhifang actually had a flintlock handcuff in his left hand, which Liu Cheng didn't know at all, and he was also aiming at Liu Cheng not far away at the moment.

"That's right, going west is a dead end, but as long as you have you, a traitor to the Ming Army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang, as a vote, His Royal Highness the King of Qi will definitely be satisfied with this gift."

Liu Cheng's thirst for power prompted him to choose betrayal, whether it was Cao Conglong's rebellion or the later Qing Dynasty. However, what he never expected was that he could betray Chen Wen, and Li Zhifang, who he had been promoted from a white body all the way to the position of chief of staff of the Wuwei Right Army, could betray him for survival.

"Heaven is good, this is really true."

No matter how high the martial arts are, they can't be faster than bullets, Liu Cheng knows this very well. Of course, with his means, it is enough to end his own life, even if it is just to provoke Li Zhifang to shoot.

However, Liu Cheng did not choose these two options, but let go of the sword in his hand, and then said to Li Zhifang: "Ye Yuan, you betrayed me in order to survive, I don't hate you, because I also betrayed my only two friends who I regard as friends of life and death in this life." But after so many years, I asked myself if you can promise me one thing. ”

The saber fell to the ground, blood splattered, and there was even the slightest sound of swords in the crisp sound of metal landing. However, with the means that Liu Cheng had just shown, the two commanders did not dare to move in the slightest, so they could only swallow their saliva and stare at this former boss as if they were staring at a prehistoric monster.

Li Zhifang sighed, and then said: "President, you say that I need to consider whether I can agree to you, and I hope you don't make me wait." ”

Hearing this, Liu Cheng smiled bitterly: "You want to arrest me, and use my life to ask Chen Wen for a way to live." In this case, it is better to live Liu Cheng than to die Liu Cheng. I can go with you, and it will be my last reward for you. ”

As soon as these words came out, the three people present were all surprised. However, Liu Cheng did not suddenly attack on this, but made an answer in Li Zhifang's puzzlement: "I want to see Chen Wen again one last time." ”

This reason is unassailable. Li Zhifang thought about it carefully and agreed. Next, the five flowers were tied up, and Liu Cheng was tied like a zongzi, and the commander of the first town was still hesitating to cut off Liu Cheng's hands, but he couldn't make it because of Li Zhifang's obstruction.

On the third day of the mutiny, the family members had already evacuated to the territory of Baoding Province, waiting for the final news. When Chen Wen's army arrived, he summoned the rebel general as soon as possible.

"They said, 'You want to see Lone?'

"Yes, Sir."

"Why?"

"I want to ask the marshal a question."

"Do you not hesitate to suffer those 3,600 knives for this?"

"Those sour showmen said that when they heard the Tao, they could die at night. I have been chasing power all my life, and this time I died for the sake of the Tao, and I did not lose. ”

Liu Cheng's ability was the strongest among the four major generals at the beginning of his career, and even Wu Dengke and Yin Yue were not necessarily Liu Cheng's opponents. For this general, Chen Wen has also vigorously promoted it before. However, he knew the face but did not know the heart, Cao Conglong's rebellion subsided, and Chen Wen had no conclusive evidence, so he did not treat other rebel generals like he did, but he was also deprived of his military power. And the result of all this is a betrayal with great impact.

At this moment, Liu Cheng can be like this, and the slightest pleasure that Chen Wenchu had when he heard that his people were captured by his subordinates has also disappeared, and all that is left is sadness and resentment.

The only reason why a character like Liu Cheng failed to leave a name in the past history is that he turned into a pile of dry bones in that bloody mountain washing operation, otherwise there is no reason at all.

In that year's palace war, Chen Wen saved tens of thousands of people, leaving aside the old and weak, women and children, almost all the other men joined the Nantang battalion and later the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies, many of whom died on the battlefield, but only Liu Cheng was a traitor. However, it would be a big mistake to deny the correctness of rescuing the people. Is it because of a traitor that so many people have paid for the blood of today's arrival?

After asking and answering, Chen Wen simply waved away the guards in the big tent, leaving only him and Liu Cheng, who was tied up with five flowers: "Say, I want to hear it, what kind of problem can make you obsessed with this." ”

"Don't hide it from the marshal, after the humble post was demoted to the Tartars, he also checked the archives of Tianjin Sanwei, and the answer he got was that there was no one named Chen Wen who had ever existed here, not even here, but the entire archives of Zhili were also turned over, and the answer was the same. I wondered, who the hell am I losing to? ”

Chen Wen's identity was not investigated on Siming Mountain back then, and later for the Lu Jianguo Imperial Court and the Yongli Imperial Court, and even for other anti-Qing people. It's one thing to be too far away, and those archives have long been sealed by the Qing court, which can be called the four words impeccable.

However, this was not the case for the Qing court. Chen Wen rose in Jinhua and repeatedly defeated the green camp in Zhejiang, and the Qing court began an investigation early. However, after rummaging through the archives and files, there was no clue, and what was even worse was that the Qing court caught this flaw, but it could not be used to destroy the trust between Chen Wen and other anti-Qing forces, because no one believed them at all, so there was no direction to attack.

Suspicion, everyone in the Qing court has it. Doubting Chen Wen's identity, one of the theories in the Tongzhejiang case is that Chen Wen was the son and clan of a high-ranking Han official in the Qing court, which led to the downfall of Chen Mingxia and the Southern Party in the court. But there are thousands of explanations, but no one has found the real answer, Liu Cheng asked here, but Chen Wen shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Chen Wen didn't think of this question, and after thinking for a while, he whispered to Liu Cheng: "Do you know why Cao Conglong chose to commit suicide back then? ”

Chen Wen suddenly mentioned the past, Liu Cheng was stunned at first, and he didn't understand why Chen Wen suddenly mentioned this matter, so he shook his head. And Chen Wen knew this, so he said to Liu Cheng: "Because he understands the evil consequences of what he has done, he regrets and dies." And you, you are not qualified to know this answer, Lone just wants to let you, a traitor, die with regret. ”

After saying this, Chen Wen recruited guards and dragged Liu Cheng out for execution. The torture of 3,600 knives, Chen Wen hadn't seen it for a long time, not because he liked this cruel punishment, but because he finally had another thing that made him hate it so much that he had to use this kind of torture to solve the trouble in his heart.

"The film is over, and the head is put away. Isn't he able to betray Huaxia for the sake of power, in the future on the Imperial Square in front of the palace gate, Lone will leave him a place for a bluestone slab, so that he will be trampled on by ten thousand people forever! ”
