Chapter 53: Fluttering
These officers and soldiers were so domineering, but the people present dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
There were not a few serious soldiers left in the Beijing camp, and they were scattered at the city gates, and no one could be mobilized without the warrants of Rong Zheng Zhang Jinyan, the prime minister of the military department, or Wang Jiayan, the deputy Rong Zheng squire, and Wu Xiang, the chief military officer.
What is disturbing the people here is the newly recruited battalion soldiers of Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen in the city, so there is no discipline at all.
Li Guozhen, a gentleman, boasted in front of Chongzhen, claiming to go north to meet the thieves, and now Juyong Pass has fallen into the hands of the soldiers, Changping will be captured at most today, and the scholar Li Jiantai is known as scattering all his family funds to recruit troops to fight the thieves, and the result is his own city...... State affairs are like this, it is rare for a Count of Xun Qi to come out to lead the troops to meet the enemy, Chongzhen is of course very happy!
Chongzhen tried his best to collect tens of thousands of silver for Li Guozhen as silver, and gave most of the artillery in the Shenji camp to this person, and the power of the whole country was to teach each other, so that this young Xiangcheng Bo could live up to the remnants of his ancestors' bloody battles, so that he could give birth to the city and make a appearance!
Yanjing City is high and deep, with a population of one million, Chongzhen thinks that as long as the blood and courage of the relatives and relatives are aroused, everyone will serve in the city together, and it is impossible to break into the army and break the city!
That's right, but what is happening in front of you...... The Supreme Heavenly Son in the Nine Folds, I'm afraid he would never have thought of it, right?
All the people recruited by Li Guozhen are the scoundrels in Yanjing City, bastards with no surname, this kind of person has changed into a military uniform, but he still can't change his temper of bullying men and women and kicking the air three times in the aisle...... From Zhengyang Gate to Yanyi Gate, five or six thousand newly recruited "Beijing Camp Soldiers" were so rampant and domineering, disturbing the market, Wang Jiayan and others were at the city gate, and the civil officials such as the city patrol Yushi who usually maintained the ground had long since disappeared...... At this moment, of course, Li Guozhen's surname is messing around.
"Grab more grain and fish and meat, you can't fight without food!"
Li Guozhen, the uncle of Xiangcheng, rode on a tall jujube red horse and shouted loudly.
He was wearing a black gauze hat, a unicorn complement, the black boots on his legs were shiny, and a small pony whip with an ivory handle in his hand kept whipping and playing.
"It's really an old turtle turning over the pool, what kind of shrimp soldiers and crabs will crawl out......"
Huimei was furious at the side, and the tips of her fingers were pinched white.
But with so many rebels in front, she herself had to be cautious and stay away. A number of middle-aged women passing by just now were insulted, and if she fell into the eyes of this group of battalion soldiers, unless she tore her face and killed someone, it would be a miserable end.
……
……
At the moment when Huimei dodged away, there were also a few people who hid their tracks and hid in the counters of several shops. In such troubled times, there are many shops that are also on the paving, and they will no longer make money these days, and there are some particularly bold ones who are still open as usual.
This is a silk shop, the silk cloth in it has been robbed, and there is no one left of the coarse coarse cloth, and the shopkeepers are squatting together, all of them are full of tears, and the shopkeeper of the shop is even more dead, except for the tone, there is no difference from a dead man.
Just when the rebels came in, the shopkeeper stepped forward desperately, but he was slapped with the handle of the knife and had blood on his head and face, and there were traces of kicking on his chest, and there were blood stains at the corners of his mouth, which showed that he had been beaten and vomited blood.
"Li Guozhen, this bastard, this fishing method is really ruthless......"
A few people hiding under the counter, led by a middle-aged man in his thirties, is not tall, he is also a little thinner, his face is also yellow, and his chin is smooth and beardless, and he looks unattractive.
It's just that in his eyes, the spirit of fierceness that is revealed from time to time, and the kind of aura on his face that only those who have been in the top position for a long time can see that this middle-aged man hiding in the silk village has an unusual status.
Even if the soldiers of the Beijing battalion were smashing and burning the guns in front of him, and the soldiers were going back and forth with their guns with open knives, although this middle-aged man avoided it, his eyebrows showed that he didn't take these battalion bastards and scoundrels seriously, even if it was Earl Li Guozhen, who was in charge of his affairs, in the eyes of this person, he was just an ordinary person, and he could talk and laugh at will.
"Ambassador, this is not right."
The middle-aged man's entourage frowned and said: "It's such a nonsense, it's okay if the imperial history of the city patrol doesn't dare to take care of it, Wang Jiayan's dead old man has always been rigid, how can he ignore it?" ”
"That's right!" Someone also said: "And Gong Yonggu, the young guard and the captain of the horse?" ”
The one they called the "ambassador" was Du Xun, the eunuch who was guarding the place outside. He also realized at this time, touched his smooth chin, and also groaned: "On the nearby city gates, which one of them comes down to take care of it, and it can't make such a big move!" ”
Du Xun came in at this time, but it was an accident.
The cavalry that the crown prince placed in Juyong Pass to Changping has made enough trouble for the intruding army in the past two days! There are two or three hundred horses in a hundred people, and there are only a few thousand cavalry in the army, and the most elite are all in the imperial camp to protect Li Zicheng, how can it be possible to divide a large army to chase down this small group of cavalry?
A large number of intruders came, Wei Yue led a bureau of Donggong cavalry to avoid far away, encountered infantry or grain team, is Dafa Li City, knife sharpening axe chopping, gun arrow shooting, this more than 100 people and horses are also more, the armor is strong, the action is like the wind, the military discipline is good, the individual and group combat effectiveness is strong, two days of hard work, the death in their hands of the intrusion soldiers are afraid of hundreds, the team transporting grain was broken up several!
There was such a big movement, King Chuang was also very angry, and now Tang Tong, the chief military officer of Juyong Pass, had received a strict order, and the Guancheng garrison made a big move, cooperating with the Chuang army to pursue this cavalry who did not know whether to live or die, and fought fiercely repeatedly, but it did not take too much advantage.
For a while, the movement of the army brigade was slowed down a lot by this little horseman like flies.
Of course, the head and tail of this do not do the business of Du Xun, the eunuch, but now the breaking army and the surrendering Ming army are killing the cavalry of the East Palace, and invisibly, no one pays attention to these surrendered eunuchs.
And Tang Tong and other surrendered military attaches were more credible, because Li Zicheng was shocked by the combat effectiveness and martyrdom shown by Zhou Yuji of Wuning at this time, if Tang Tong and others also had the same determination and combat effectiveness as Zhou Yuji, the army was less than 100,000, and they had to retreat to Shaanxi.
And to the vicinity of Gyeonggi, there is such a strong cavalry appeared, riding a horse like a hurricane, the knife will hurt people, many of the cavalry has already fought with such a cavalry team, every time the battle, almost a dozen people are killed and injured to replace a minor injury, such an exchange ratio, so that many generals from northern Shaanxi who have been thieves for more than ten years remember the situation when the incident first started.
At that time, there were both officers and soldiers with strong armor, and there were even only hoes among the thieves, and it was not uncommon for thousands of officers and soldiers to chase tens of thousands of thieves and run all over the mountains.
Up to now, the camp has become a great Shuntian soldier, and it is when the morale is booming and the combat effectiveness is strong enough, but unexpectedly encountering such a team, which also makes the Shun army extremely vigilant, and the attention to Tang Tong and other generals has naturally increased a lot.
Of course, they didn't know how much silver Wei Yue's one hundred and twelve cavalry had spent on each person!
How much of the last bit of family money left by Daming was spent on these cavalry!
Du Xun, who was quite despised, now had a crazy idea in his heart...... He himself felt that the possibility of success was too low, but the new dynasty was established, and the power of the great eunuchs would definitely be strictly suppressed in the future, and they could surrender to save their lives, but it would be extremely difficult to preserve the wealth and power they had obtained.
In today's plan, it can only be a great achievement that no one can erase the unevenness...... Only in this way can Du Xun himself be saved, and at the same time, the powerful position of the small group of eunuchs in the new dynasty can be maintained!
The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, this blood-sucking interest group clinging to the imperial power...... Under the afterglow of this empire, it is also fluttering vigorously and working hard......
Du Xun's "immortal feats" are very simple to put it bluntly...... It is to persuade Chongzhen to surrender.
As early as in the Yongchang edict, Li Zicheng persuaded the emperor to surrender early, and when Wuning was frustrated, he once wanted to ask Chongzhen to make him king, and then give him Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and other places.
Of course, I don't know which Sanjia Village's sour talent was born in the staff of the poor staff, and Li Zicheng himself is embarrassed to mention it at this time...... The current handicap, of course, is that Chongzhen surrendered, and Li Zicheng named Chongzhen as the king, chose the place to be well raised, and the god of the Taimiao in the Ming Dynasty was preserved, and the people of the world could enjoy the blessings of peace.
Du Xun himself thinks that this handicap is very good. As a senior eunuch, he is also from the imperial study, quite read the scriptures and history, looking at it, it is common for one dynasty to die and one dynasty to stand, why did Emperor Yuan Shun get a "Shun" word? It's not the fate of Tianjing, he didn't die in the capital of Yuan, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he flew away, hiding in the desert and still had a good death, and then looked at the emperor of the Zhao family in the Song Dynasty, except for a child who was held by Lu Xiufu and jumped into the sea, which one didn't surrender? Five generations and ten kingdoms...... There are too many to count!
A son of heaven, if he loses, he has to admit it, what can he do if he dies and is not convinced?
This set of words, Du Xun has recited it many times in his heart, he has already seen Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing, this time he sneaked into the city, and it can be regarded as the official envoy of the new dynasty, as long as he finds the person who joins the joint, and then enters the palace to meet Chongzhen, whether it is successful or not, it depends on this hammer deal!
