At the time of the third watch, the turmoil was still ongoing, and there was already a tendency to spread to the entire imperial city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The Eight Banners of the Ye Chen Department sent to suppress the information have not returned for a long time, and Hong Chengchou knows that something is wrong. The line where he was located was in the palace city of the Ming Dynasty, and there was a city wall between it and the imperial city outside. However, there were only 208 banners left in the guards in the palace city, so what was the use of such a small number of people even if they were blocked by high walls?

The shouting and killing outside is getting closer, and you don't need to look at Hong Chengchou to know the situation outside, it is nothing more than the Green Battalion soldiers besieging and killing Ye Chen's Eight Banner Soldiers, or the cannibalism between the Green Battalion soldiers. Judging from the movements, the Eight Banners of the Yechen Department can no longer withstand it. Also, there are only two or three hundred people, and if you want to fight with the green battalion of thousands of people, no matter how brave the Eight Banners are, they can't hold on.

The remaining 208 bannermen were defending the walls of Miyagi, but their hearts were not here, because their property and the families of the beauties they had plundered were all in the city outside.

There was a loud "bang", it was the sound of the palace gate being slammed, so Hong Chengchou knew that the Yechen Department outside was finished.

"Brother Zixin, when I entered Beijing that day, I heard that Emperor Lie was hanged in the coal mountain, and Cheng Chou was still embarrassed, but I didn't expect to fall into the same situation today." Looking at the empty palace, Hong Chengchou smiled bitterly and said to Zhao Xingfang, a staff member standing on the side.

"Dong Weng doesn't have to be sad, Xingfang will definitely follow Dong Weng like Wang Chengen followed the first emperor." Zhao Xingfang fell to the ground and expressed his vow to Hong Chengchou to follow him.

"Haha, with Brother Zixin by my side, my Hong Chengchou is enough for this life." Hong Chengchou looked up to the sky and laughed, "However, Emperor Lie's means of hanging himself are not enough, and he only needs a glass of wine to seek death." Hong Chengchou said as he took a white porcelain bottle from the table and poured out two red pills.

"Today, our guests and hosts are going to die together, and we are not lonely on the Huangquan Road."

"I'll pour water for Dong Weng." Zhao Xingfang walked to the middle of the palace, picked up the kettle on the stove in advance, and faltered while walking, which showed the tension and hesitation in his heart.

Turning over the teacup on the table, his hands trembled as he poured the water, and the water from the teapot dripped.

"Brother Zixin, don't be afraid, the top-grade crane top red is just a matter of a moment." Hong Chengchou comforted Zhao Xingfang, but his words were extremely gloomy, and he didn't know whether to comfort others or himself.

Death has always been the greatest horror in the world, and no one wants to take this path until it is absolutely necessary.

Zhao Xingfang's face was pale, and he went to a pill without saying a word, filled it in his mouth and went down with water.

Glancing at the staff who had followed him for many years, Hong Chengchou swallowed the pill into his stomach.

It was just a momentary pain, and it was relieved from then on, but the expected pain was delayed, and Hong Chengchou felt that his head was groggy.

"You?" Hong Chengchou laboriously raised his finger and pointed at Zhao Xingfang.

"Dong Weng, I can't help it, you have to do it, but I have to live! Xingfang has been following you for many years, this is the first time I have done anything sorry for you, you must forgive me. ”

Zhao Xingfang is Hong Chengchou's personal staff, Hong Chengchou has him to do all private things, he has already replaced Hedinghong with ecstasy, as for the pill he eats, he has already taken the antidote by pouring water.

Gently stepped forward and took the golden arrow from Hong Chengchou's waist, which was a token of Dolgon's special control of the southeastern soldiers and horses.

"The Lord of Taiwan has an order, Jiangning can no longer be defended, and you are all warriors of the country, and you must not easily lose your life. He ordered you to break out of the encirclement and join up with General Luckedhun, and he would return to Jiangning in the future in order to move later. ”

Holding aloft the golden order arrow, Zhao Xingfang pretended to pass on Hong Chengchou's order.

"What about the others?" The leader of the Eight Banners took the arrow and asked Hong Chengchou's whereabouts.

"As the governor of the six southeastern provinces, the Lord of Taiwan has caused Jiangning to fall into the hands of Chongming thieves, and he feels ashamed of the imperial court and Prince Rui, and he has committed suicide by taking poison." Zhao Xingfang said sadly.

"Master Taitai committed suicide!"

"The master is dead, what should we do? There are so many Ming troops and green camp rebels outside, how can we break through the siege? ”

Hearing that Hong Chengchou was dead, the Eight Banners soldiers in Miyagi suddenly fell into a panic.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is impossible for us to break out of the encirclement, in this case, let's break the net with them and kill all the traitors outside!"

The leader of the Eight Banners shouted loudly.

"Kill all the traitors!" All the Eight Banners raised their weapons. To them, the rebellious Green Battalion soldiers in the city were even more hateful than the Ming army outside.

Zuo Ling held his weapon aloft and led the two hundred remaining Eight Banner soldiers towards the Daming Gate that was being hit. No one noticed that Zhao Xingfang, who had come to give the order, had already fled back to the palace in the chaos.

Hundreds of green battalion soldiers, under the leadership of Bu Tong, are attacking the Daming Gate, the gateway to the palace city, and only by breaking open this gate again can they rush in to capture Hong Chengchou.

The guerrilla general, the great temptation made Bu Tong extremely excited, and the commander's gathered men carried the giant tree and violently slammed the city gate. Just now, the three hundred and eight banner soldiers were strangled by the more than 1,000 green battalions gathered by Bu Tong, which made Bu Tong feel that the eight banner soldiers were nothing more than that.

More than a dozen green battalion soldiers carried the giant wood and slammed into the city gate again, but before they hit the city gate, it suddenly opened, and dozens of torches flashed in the city gate hole, illuminating the angry and hideous faces of the Eight Banners soldiers behind the city gate.

"Kill all these traitors!" The leader of the Eight Banners roared and swung his mace at the green battalion soldiers in front of him, and the two hundred and eight banner soldiers rushed over with a shout behind them.

"Ren Dadu has an order, kill a full Tartar and reward fifty taels of silver!" Bu Tong roared angrily, picked up the three-eyed firearm and pulled the trigger on the leader who rushed to the front. Tempted by the huge reward of fifty taels of silver, the green battalion soldiers rushed forward with red glasses.

The two armies that belonged to the same camp a moment ago fought together, and the killing was so big that the blood flowed all over the Daming Gate.

The day finally dawned, the four gates of the imperial city were wide open, and a group of green battalion soldiers dropped their weapons and walked out of the city gate empty-handed, asking for surrender to the Chongming army outside the imperial city.

A soldier of the Chongming Army stepped forward and led them to the barracks that had been arranged a long time ago. There will be a Chongming army clerk to count their gains and count their identity information.

Li Xingjiu entered the imperial city with the officers and soldiers of the Guards Town, and will take over the city defense from the hands of the Green Battalion soldiers.

Ren Siqi sat in the Wei State Mansion, and now changed his name to the Dadu Governor's Mansion, listening to the reports from his subordinates. The Chongming army had entered the imperial city, which meant that Nanjing had been completely captured, which made everyone in the Dadu Governor's Mansion very relaxed.

"Captured the big traitor Hong Chengchou alive!" Suddenly, a guard shouted and rushed over, and suddenly everyone had a smile on their faces.
