Li Zicheng also kept his promise to Zhang Chu, and deliberately avoided the area controlled by the security forces when attacking, on the one hand, it was the existing friendship between the two sides, and more importantly, no one wanted to find such a strong opponent for himself.

Li Zicheng was not so polite in the face of the official army, he led the army all the way to storm, destroyed the city and pulled out the village like a bamboo, and occupied the important city of Luoyang in Henan on the border of Henan, which is the fief of Zhu Changxun, the favorite son of the Wanli Emperor, the Wanli Emperor wanted to let his son succeed to the throne as the emperor, but was opposed by the ministers, the Wanli Emperor had no choice but to seal Zhu Changxun as the Fu King, on the domain of Luoyang, the Wanli Emperor always felt that he owed something to this son, and he was rewarded to the Fu King Zhu Changxun when he reigned. He increased the area of land owned by King Fu and rewarded him with a large amount of gold, silver, and jewelry, making him the richest of the vassal kings. King Fu lived a life of brocade clothes and jade food in Luoyang, he had no other pursuits except eating, drinking and having fun, and it was really as later generations commented that the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were raised like pigs.

If you only look at the pig breeding of Fuwang is still very successful, in addition to the feed is a little expensive, Fuwang Zhu Changxun was raised into a famous fat man in history, the reason why Fuwang's fat can leave a name in history, on the one hand, is because he is indeed very fat, there is no history to record that Fuwang was caught by Li Zicheng and weighed his weight with a scale, weighing more than 360 catties. On the other hand, it is the result of Li Zicheng making full use of Zhu Changxun's fat meat.

Zhu Changxun is not only fat, but also very stingy. When Li Zicheng's team besieged Luoyang City, the general guarding Luoyang went to see King Fu and asked him to come up with some silver to recruit the defenders of the city.

The generals took the thousand taels of silver and recruited a group of warriors, and from Luoyang City, they raided Li Zicheng's team, caught Li Zicheng by surprise, and forced his team to retreat several miles.

It's a pity that there is only one such victory, and King Fu refuses to pay, so there are no warriors who dare to fight to the death.

Li Zicheng stabilized his position, re-surrounded Luoyang City, and ordered the troops to attack desperately, and the biggest consumption in the cruel siege battle was human life, and at this time the human life on the Central Plains was the most worthless, Li Zicheng had food in his hands, as long as he took care of a meal, he could recruit a large number of displaced people as cannon fodder troops to attack the city at any time.

Li Zicheng's troops finally attacked the head of Luoyang City after paying huge casualties, and King Fu also felt the danger, fled to the top of the city with his attendants, and took advantage of the gap in the battle to follow the rope down the city wall, wanting to escape, but he overestimated his physical strength, and it was already a miracle that he was able to climb down from the top of the city with his stature.

Li Zicheng's people immediately discovered King Fu's huge figure, and King Fu's slow movement speed allowed the rebels to capture him without much effort.

King Fu's attendant quickly confessed his identity, and the soldiers of the righteous army were overjoyed, and while sending someone to Li Zicheng's side to report the good news, they escorted King Fu to the camp of the righteous army.

But King Fu's heavy body became a problem again, and let him move step by step, and the rebel soldiers had no choice but to cut down trees to make a huge stretcher, which was carried by dozens of people, and then transported King Fu to Li Zicheng.

When King Fu saw Li Zicheng, he knew that this must be the leader of the rebel army, so he couldn't care about his inconvenience, lying on the stretcher and begging for mercy from Li Zicheng again and again.

Li Zicheng looked at the pile of meat spread on the ground, and his heart was angry, since the disaster and famine fell from heaven, the people of the Ming Dynasty have starved to death countless times, and even if they survived, most of them were hungry. It was the first time that Li Zicheng, who had grown so fat, had seen it, and he was even more disgusted when he saw King Fu's soft bones.

"As the vassal king of the Zhu family, you should be loyal to your court, how can you make such a useless appearance." Li Zicheng said angrily.

"The king spares my life, I am willing to surrender to the king and disassociate myself from the Zhu family. Wholehearted and filial piety to the king. King Fu said with a trembling body of fat flesh.

"It's late, it's all late, why didn't you think of breaking away from the Zhu family when you enjoyed the brocade clothes and jade food given to you by the imperial court, why didn't you think of breaking away from the Zhu family when you were powerful in Luoyang City. Someone, pull him down for me. Li Zicheng didn't want to talk nonsense with him.

The soldiers pulled King Fu down, and according to Li Zicheng's order, they beat King Fu for forty boards, and his flesh and blood were blurred, and he didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy. Li Zicheng specially ordered not to kill him, it was still useful to keep it for a while.

Li Zicheng's team occupied Luoyang City, and the rich and powerful people in Luoyang City were killed, and the food treasures they hoarded fell into Li Zicheng's hands. Especially in the mansion of King Fu, the rebels seized a large amount of gold and silver treasures and countless grains.

Li Zicheng was even more annoyed when he saw that King Fu had hoarded so much food but refused to take out a little to help the victims. Li Zicheng ordered people to set up a cauldron in the courtyard of King Fu's mansion, and caught a few sika deer in King Fu's garden. King Fu was brought over, and several soldiers who hated King Fu to the extreme came and stripped King Fu of his clothes, shaved King Fu's hair, and even pulled out his fingernails. Then he poured potion into the mouth of King Fu, so that he drained all the dirt in his abdomen.

Fu Wang was tied up like a hairy crab about to be basketed, and put it into a cauldron with the peeled venison. The pot was filled with water, and the fat Fu Wang floated in the pot.

Li Zicheng gave an order, and the firewood and grass at the bottom of the pot were ignited. King Fu felt the water around him turn from cold to warm, and then gradually scorching, but he had no strength to struggle.

The fire at the bottom of the pot kept burning, boiling everything in the pot into one, and Li Zicheng ordered the soldiers in the city to come and get food, calling it the "Fulu Banquet." Thousands of Li Zicheng's soldiers shared this pot of "Fulu Banquet", the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and the rich nobles in the city were terrified.

In the First Battle of Luoyang, Li Zicheng captured a large number of weapons and armor, and also collected a large number of soldiers who surrendered from the official army, and these soldiers were specially trained to be much stronger than those hungry homeless people who could not even walk.

The food hoarded by King Fu came in handy. Li Zizhi took out some grain to help the victims, which greatly increased Li Zicheng's prestige, and many physically stronger victims joined Li Zicheng's uprising team in order to eat a few more meals.

Li Zicheng's team has grown a lot at once, which makes Li Zicheng have greater ambitions. After a short rest, Li Zicheng set off again with the team.

This time, his target was Kaifeng, the provincial capital of Henan. Li Zicheng was determined to capture Kaifeng City and lay the foundation for the further development of the rebel army. (To be continued.) )
