Chapter 25: Encounter Again

After leaving the palace, Liu Fan took people to get the mandarin duck jacket and left the capital urgently, and it was already night when he rushed back to the Niutunbao camp, Liu Fan had to rest at home for one night, and prepare to announce the news tomorrow!

In the early morning of July 21, the fourth year of Chongzhen, Liu Fan came to the school field and began to beat the drums to gather the soldiers, and the soldiers who heard the drums began to assemble urgently. After more than three months of training, the soldiers have been reborn, standing there solemnly, silent, the entire phalanx exudes a terrifying momentum, Liu Fan nodded with satisfaction. I still remember when I first entered the barracks, the soldiers were all dressed in vegetables due to long-term malnutrition, listless, and their actions were chaotic and unorganized, and they were completely a group of rabble.

Liu Fan walked to the stage of the school field and announced loudly: "After nearly three months of training, you have grown from an ordinary farmer to a qualified soldier, and now is the time for us to loudly announce to the world that our era is coming!" Now I have good news for you, tomorrow! His Majesty the Emperor will inspect us in the Imperial Garden! Personally bestow on us the title of Breaker! ”

Hearing the news, the soldiers were so excited that they shouted, "Broken Army!" Broken Army! The voice resounded throughout the schoolyard

Liu Fan pressed his hand, and there was a sudden silence below, and Liu Fan said loudly, "Now let's put on our armor and march to the capital!" ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Fan began to organize people to distribute mandarin duck battle jackets, and because he could not carry weapons, Liu Fan had to ask people to find 500 bamboo poles to temporarily replace weapons. After everything was ready, Liu Fan took people to set off!

On the official road to the capital, Liu Fa's broken army marched in four columns, wearing brand-new mandarin duck jackets and Ming army helmets, and the entire army walked silently on the official road, except for the sound of footsteps, no other sound could be heard! Merchants and officials who came and went to the capital saw such a strange procession, and they all looked sideways and guessed where this army was!

After more than half a day of marching, the captive army finally arrived at the Guangde Gate in the capital in the evening, and the city guards saw a Ming army coming to close the city gate urgently! At the same time, he sent someone to inquire at the head of the city.

Liu Fan rode a tall horse, led people to the city gate, saw the closed city gate, frowned, and shouted "Stand" The soldiers of the whole army suddenly took a big step forward, and stood still with a "bang"! The whole army didn't make a sound, and the city gate guard suddenly forgot to say when he saw this shocking scene, and didn't slowly say anything until Liu Fan asked loudly, "Dare to ask who the general below is?" But why did you have a warrant to enter the city? Liu Fan replied, "Liu Jimin, the general of Niutun Fort, came to the capital to restore his life by holy order, and asked the general to open the city gate quickly!" ”

"But Liu Jimin, who made a big fuss in the capital? Can the Holy Decree be seen? The city guard shouted in shock

Liu Fan took out the holy decree and handed it to Wang Yong, who took the holy decree and put it into the basket handed down from the city. The guard general got the holy decree and looked at it, and hurriedly said: "General Liu, wait for a while, and then open the city gate!" After the guard opened the door, Liu Fan told the soldiers to be stationed outside the city, and took Wang Yong and a few people into the city and went straight to the palace!

Liu Fan of the Qianqing Palace saw Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, the minister has brought the army to return to his life, and the army is now stationed outside the city." Waiting for His Majesty to review! ”

"Oh? How did Aiqing come so fast? Didn't I say three days later? It's only been a day! Chongzhen asked in surprise

"Your Majesty, the soldiers are fast, and Weichen is just coming at the usual marching speed!"

"It seems that Aiqing has trained an elite army! I'm looking forward to meeting this army of captives more and more! Tomorrow morning, Aiqing will bring the broken army into the city! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! The army is still stationed outside the city, and it is inconvenient for the ministers to stay for a long time! The minister wants to retire first! Liu Fan said

"Hmmm! Aiqing go! ”

In the early morning of the 2nd day, Liu Fan entered the city with the broken army, and came to the imperial city all the way through Guangde Gate. Brains are broken! "Maybe someone wants to go to the tree to threak fruit!" Someone smiled and said, "That's it!" The crowd chimed in, causing a burst of laughter

Liu Fan didn't pay attention to the comments of the people in the capital, only in this way can he hide their strength under their ridiculous appearance and not attract the attention of people with a heart! But the soldiers of the Broken Army didn't think so, listening to the shameful laughter in their ears, they all blushed, and they didn't dare to speak out because of military discipline, so they lowered their heads and hurried away, and soon after, Liu Fan entered the imperial city under the guidance of the little eunuch!

In the imperial garden, Chongzhen strictly ordered the eunuchs and palace maids not to approach, and only brought Wang Chengen, Cao Huachun and Zhou Empress Tian Guifei and Empress Zhang to a pavilion, looking at Liu Fan from a distance to sort out the army in the distance! Soon, Liu Fan tidied up the army, walked quickly to the pavilion, saluted Chongzhen, and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, the Broken Army has been prepared, please review it!" ”

"Hmmm! Then all the concubines and Queen Yi'an will go with me! Chongzhen looked at Liu Fan and nodded with satisfaction, and then said behind him

Hearing Chongzhen say "Queen Yi'an" Liu Fan couldn't help but look curiously towards the place Chongzhen said, and saw the dressed "Yi'an" Liu Fan's head "boom" exploded, isn't this the beautiful palace maid I saw in the imperial garden that time? She is Queen Yi'an? It's so beautiful! I can't help but think of the information I saw before. Empress Zhang Yan of Yi'an, Zhu Youxiao of Ming Xizong was originally the queen, in the first year of the Apocalypse, Zhang Yan, who was 15 years old at the time, was the first beauty selected from the 5,000 beauties in the national primary election, and was canonized as the queen in April of the same year. The history of Zhang Yan "is beautiful and plump, the face is like Guanyin, the eyes are like autumn waves, the mouth is like a cherry blossom, the nose is like a hanging gall, and the teeth are fine". She was one of the five great queens of ancient China. Zhang Yan was pure and demure when she was a child, and she smiled without showing her teeth. When he was seven years old, Ru worked hard, sprinkling and sweeping the yard, doing laundry and cooking, and doing everything. When I have nothing to do, I am alone in a room, practice being a female celebrity, and read book history. Thirteen or fourteen years old, slender and beautiful, peerless. Qin Lanzheng said in "Words of the Apocalypse Palace": "She is quiet in nature, good at reading and learning words." "History of the Ming Dynasty" recorded her: "Sex is solemn, and the number of mistakes of the emperor's preface Ke and Wei Zhongxian." On March 18, the 17th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng captured Beijing, and Zhang Yan hanged himself in the palace and died on the Ming Festival. Liu Fan really didn't expect to see her in this situation, and when he remembered her poignant life, he suddenly felt pity. The gaze that looked at her was also full of soft pity! At this time, Zhang Yan's eyes also looked towards Liu Fan! The eyes of the two suddenly intertwined! A wordless throbbing surged into the hearts of the two!

At this time, Chongzhen said: "Jimin, let's go!" Let's go see my Broken Army! ”
