For example, on the first day of the first month of April, the military advisor Song Xiance used the celestial phenomenon to say something: "The sky is miserable, the sun is dark, and it is urgent to suspend the execution." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

On the seventh day of the first month of April, Li Zicheng passed Liu Zongmindi, saw more than 300 people in the courtyard, and wailed half-heartedly, Li Zicheng said: "The celestial phenomenon is a warning, and the Song army should be punished, and it is appropriate to let it go." ”

But since the moment he entered Beijing, the relationship between Li Zicheng and his subordinates has undergone subtle changes, just as the interests of the emperor and his ministers are not consistent, and the relationship between Liu Zongmin himself and Li Zicheng has changed.

Li Zicheng asked Liu Zongmin to release him, saying: "Why don't you help Lone to be a good emperor?" ”

Liu Zongmin disagreed, saying: "The power of the emperor belongs to you, and the power of torture belongs to me, so there is no trouble." ”

There are also ordinary soldiers who have changed the psychology of the high-level of Dashun, such as when he first entered Beijing, Li Zicheng gave the old book, that is, the old camp rice stop a few Hu, and Ma Dou rose a few days, and the public was quite resentful. thinks that before entering Beijing, the high-level of the righteous army was still generous and arrogant, drinking in big bowls, and sharing gold in a big scale, but now they are sitting in the country, but they are so stingy and stingy, and they are dissatisfied and resentful.

And to be honest, neither the Chuang army in the past nor the current Shun army is a disciplined army, a political organization with ideals and aspirations. Their backbone is the border households, post soldiers, and grassland horse thieves who can't survive, and then coerce a large number of homeless people to screen and eliminate a team of veterans.

At their core, they are still outcasts, a collection of looting gangs.

The slogans they put forward are also ridiculous, and they basically destroy all the foundations of their legitimate existence by not being bad or paying for food.

As far as their own survival can only depend on looting, how can they bring stability to others?

If it is said that in wartime, in order to survive and fight the world, the top brass of the Chuang Shun army can restrain their subordinates with strict military discipline. But now that the country has been laid, the previously unimaginable world of flowers and flowers suddenly appeared in front of him, and there were ants everywhere around him who had no power to resist, and the original homeless people were lost.

And if there is something good at the top, it will be very bad at the bottom, Li Ziyuan is a person who is not good at drinking, and now he has begun to indulge in lust and drink all day long. Not to mention Liu Zongmin and other high-level officials, in addition to torturing and chasing silver all day long, they are holding prostitutes for fun.

Niu Jinxing and others shouted and roared in front of the demoted officials all day long, swaying their previous unwilling emotions to their heart's content, and by the way, they collected some wealthy beauties and painted their sedan chairs with gold dust. There are also Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Xiyao and others, all of whom occupy luxury mansions, and dozens of beauties around them are happy.

The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, all of which is a powerful stimulus for the middle and lower classes.

Moreover, the current Shun army is uneven, and the composition is complex, in addition to tens of thousands of inner battalions, more are outer battalions, and there are countless, at least hundreds of thousands of surrendered Ming troops. These people are either outcasts or unfaithful, and all of them have indescribable evil desires hidden in their hearts.

The pursuit of stolen goods and subsidies is equivalent to opening this dam, and the madness, greed, and irrationality in everyone's hearts suddenly pour out.

Not to mention that the high-level leaders themselves are busy venting their desires, and they can't think of restraining them at all, and it is impossible to restrain them now.

They have the same good reason, and they have a good word: "The emperor let you do it, and the gold and silver women won't let me?" ”

Even Li Zicheng wanted to ascend the throne, but some generals actually said: "Worship the horse with a ringing horse, who is willing to bend the knee." Youyun: "It's not his ability to kill the world with blood and sweat." Liu Zongmin himself said to the officials: "I am on the same horse with him, why do I worship him?" ”

So in the eyes of the generals, the officers can rob it, why can't they rob it?

You high-ranking officials and dignitaries can rob the noble officials of the Ming Dynasty, and I can also rob the rich people of the Ming Dynasty!

Just a few days after the stolen goods, the evil desires hidden in human nature were suddenly unleashed, and things took a turn for the worse, and the situation spread in a terrible direction.

In the end, everything got out of hand.

……

When the Shun army first entered the city, Yang Bagu's family was frightened for two days, but on the 20th, a notice was posted on the Dashun side, strictly prohibiting killing. On the same day, four soldiers looted the silk shop and were cut off.

Yang Bagu was full of interest, watched the execution with relish, and said excitedly when she came back: "I have a good life." ”

She took her daughter Niannu, and Zhang Shouyin went shopping with confidence, bought a few ready-to-wear clothes near Chongwenmen, a family of three to wear a new one, and bought rice, flour, tea oil, etc., and even generously bought some meat back, at no more than one or two silver yuan.

She was careful about her calculations, looking at the rest of the money to make a small deal.

However, the Jingshi shop was expensive, and Yang Bagu planned to set up a small stall with Zhang Shouyin, and while he was still planning, the recovery of stolen goods and subsidies began, and from the 23rd to the 26th, the streets were full of Dr. Tishi.

Yang Bagu and her neighbors were a little happy when they were detained and copied silver, and they all said: "These corrupt officials and corrupt officials should be beaten." ”

Yang Bagu was still on the street and said loudly: "The Great Shun Heavenly King is wise and knows what the scourge of the previous dynasty was. ”

She listened to the news with great interest, but sometimes she met the shopkeeper Tian and saw that his expression changed a little worried.

On the 27th, each square in Beijing began to protect ten families, and if there was a fugitive, ten families would be beheaded together. At the same time, there are Shun officials leading the long squad to visit the officials and the people, and there are 50 people in each long class, most of whom are local scoundrel children as township guides.

On this day, there were constantly squires who were taken away to ask for money to help them, such as Zhou Qiang, Liu Yuyou, Liang Yizhang, Mi Wanzhong, Wu Bangchen, Shen Zizhang and others.

Yang Bagu still feels happy, she has never looked at these rich officials, businessmen and rich gentry, and she is happy to see them suffer.

However, for some reason, her heart began to panic a little.

On the 28th, many Dashun troops appeared on the streets, they carried hemp ropes, and when they saw that passers-by had burly faces and fat faces, they suspected that they had wealth, and the hemp ropes were immediately put around their necks and pulled away, and they would not let people go if they did not give silver. There are even those who are escorted to their homes and let them choose to be released.

This kind of luck is good, if it is pulled to Liu Zongmin's mansion, it will be over.

Yang Bagu has reduced the number of people who go out on the street, and when she has to do it, she also bows her head, and those Shunjun don't care about her, only people take a few glances at her new clothes.

On the 29th, the Shun army began to enter the streets and alleys, and when they met rich households, even young and white households, they immediately entered Suoyin. At noon on this day, Yang Bagu heard the sound of a nearby family shouting for the sky and grabbing the ground, she knew that family, it was not a rich person, at most a small and medium-sized family.

On this day, the long class in the workshop came to drink the bronze utensils of horses and mules among the people, and they were ordered to lose the camp. Yang Bagu's family has several sets of ancestral brass utensils and round mirrors of musical instruments, which have been passed down from generation to generation, and I don't know how many generations they have passed. Yang Bagu was reluctant in her heart, but seeing that her neighbors had lost copper, she didn't dare not lose.

Watching the ancestral brass utensils being transported away, and there was not even a mirror in the house, she was at a loss.

On this day, there are Shunjun horsemen galloping through the street with beautiful women, it turns out that the king of Dashun will reward the remaining palace maids to the soldiers, and these people who get the beauties will show off happily.

On the 30th, the soldiers and horses of the Shun army filled the alleys, with all kinds of uniforms and various accents, all in the name of searching horses and copper, and searched from house to house. Then everywhere they passed, there was a cry, and every house was exhausted.

Yang Bagu has already hidden the rice, flour, money and grain at home tightly, and the new clothes on her body have also changed, but the uneasiness and panic in her heart have always been full of heart.

At noon that day, the three of them had eaten silently, and Nian Nu was about to help his mother wash the dishes, when suddenly the door was kicked open, and all three of them screamed, and then closed their mouths and were dumbfounded. I saw five or six Shun soldiers breaking in, all in black uniforms, high-spirited, looking at the three of them like looking at grass mustard ants.

Yang Bagu took Zhang Shouyin's hand and stood up tremblingly, and her daughter Nian Nu was also nervously pulling her mother's sleeve.

The first leader seemed to be quite kind, he hugged his fists, and said with a smile: "This lord, this lady, this lady, the villain and other battalions have just entered Beijing, but the king of Dashun has not paid the salary, and the villain and others have to ask the people for help, hoping that the lord of Guixiang Zi can use some pots to plan silver grain." ”

Yang Bagu trembled and said, "If you go back to the Heavenly Soldier Master, the little woman really has no silver and no food. ”

Seeing that a few Shun soldiers didn't seem to believe it, she hurriedly pulled Zhang Shouyin and Nian Nu to kneel.

The leader smiled and said, "No silver? No, how did I hear that your whole family was wearing new clothes some time ago? ”

He looked at Zhang Shouyin with a smile again: "This old man got up and spoke." ”

Zhang Shouyin hurriedly stood up, and the leader looked at him for a while and said, "You used to be a soldier?" ”

Zhang Shouyin said respectfully: "If you return to the heavenly soldiers, the villain used to be a squad soldier. ”

The leader's amiable face suddenly became hideous and fierce, and he shouted: "You are a remnant of the Ming Dynasty, dare to stand and talk to Lao Tzu? ”

He suddenly slapped Zhang Shouyin in the face, which immediately caused blood to break out of his mouth and nose, staggered and fell to the ground, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

Yang Bagu exclaimed, "Brother Shouyin." ”

Her heart was stabbed like a knife, and she burst into tears, and she kowtowed, "Please, spare the little woman's family." ”

Her daughter Niannu did the same, weeping and pleading.

The leader ignored them, and just roared, "Stand up straight." ”

Zhang Shouyin's face was covered with blood from his nose, and he struggled to stand up.

The leader roared, "Stand still! ”

He picked up his thick arm and slapped Zhang Shouyin hard, hitting him so hard that he staggered again, and the blood in his mouth and nose flowed more.

The leader roared again, "Stand straight! ”

Another heavy punch hit Zhang Shouyin in the abdomen, Zhang Shouyin bent over in pain, and blood gushed out of his mouth.

Yang Bagu cried in pain, and she said, "Don't fight, the little woman will give the silver." ”

She took out four silver dollars from a secret place under the bed, and some broken silver, and reluctantly handed them into the leader's hand.

The leader said, "Yo, Yinyuan, it's still a rich man." ”

He sighed, "Tell me about the three of you, if you don't give the silver sooner, why should you suffer this sin?" If you don't see the coffin, you don't shed tears. ”

A soldier next to him said: "Grandpa, it seems that this family still has money, do you want to stop chasing it?" ”

The leader said: "That's it, the brothers entered Beijing late, and now there are more and more battalions, hurry up, let's go to the next one." ”

He threw away the silver yuan in his hand, made a gurgling sound, and smiled at Yang Bagu's family: "Thank you." ”

Then a few people laughed and turned away.

Yang Bagu hurriedly went over and closed the door, and moved to the top of a table, and then saw Zhang Shouyin sitting in pain, her daughter Niannu brought water, and was wiping the blood on Zhang Shouyin's mouth, while softly asking if it hurts.

Yang Bagu came to her side, sat dumbfounded, and said blankly: "How can this be, isn't the heavenly soldier Qiu innocent...... That's right, it must be the people below who are doing nonsense, and the Great Shun Heavenly King will not ignore it......"

On the first day of the first month of April, more terrible news came, not only the soldiers of Dashun were all over the city, they broke through the gates, and everywhere they went, they searched and stood up, like locusts gathering in the fields, and the grass and trees were empty. And they began to have no children.

Especially those officers and soldiers who did not get the palace maids were angry, they couldn't wait for the high-level to assign their mothers-in-law, and they came to the door to plunder the demand. At first, they also looked for prostitutes to sing, but now they are gradually inferior to the women of good families. Dashun also stipulated that all unmarried women in the Beijing division were forcibly married to Dashun officers and soldiers.

Yang Bagu has heard the news that after the daughter of a good family was taken away, and after being killed by adultery and rape, sometimes the generals of the Shun army passed by, and the soldiers were afraid of being held accountable, so they threw the body out of the city.

There were already some people who hanged themselves after being defiled, and Yang Bagu also saw the soldiers of the Shun army passing by on the street, with one in front of him, and two or three women with the rest of the horses.

On the second day of the first lunar month, the matter became more and more intense, and the many women who were defiled heard that the wives and concubines of the officials were not exempt, but the families of the martyred ministers and the soldiers would never dare to commit it. Yang Bagu has already hidden her daughter Nian Nu in the backyard, and she herself will never go out without going out.

On this day, she heard the sound of door-to-door kicking outside, and some neighbors were crying: "Master Heavenly Soldier, please, this is the last ration at home, and you can't live without it......"

There was a deep despair in their cries, their voices piercing to the bone, and some people howled bitterly: "Daughter...... O my daughter, I beg you, do not take my daughter......"

Yang Bagu shrank in Zhang Shouyin's arms, her face was pale, her body was constantly trembling, and she muttered: "Why is this happening, doesn't it mean that there are good days?" ”

Suddenly, the door of her house was kicked open again, and a group of Shunjun rushed in, all wearing red uniforms, and the leader was burly, he glanced at the house, and then swept his face like ashes, and the two Yang Bagu, who were stunned, said lightly: "Yang Bagu? I know that you have a daughter in your family, Li Niannu, who is fifteen years old, and she is just promised to marry a soldier as a wife, cheer up the morale of the army, and kill thieves for the country...... What about your daughter? ”

Yang Bagu and the others got up, they both knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, Yang Bagu whimpered: "The little woman has no daughter, and she has always been with her husband." ”

The leader Shunjun smiled, and the Shunjun next to him also laughed, and the leader Shunjun waved his hand: "It's this set again, search it, this small courtyard can't hide anywhere." ”

They rummaged through the cabinets and searched everywhere, Yang Bagu watched anxiously, and soon after, she heard her daughter's struggle and cry, as well as the cheers of those Shun soldiers.

Then, she saw two Shunjun pulling their daughters from the backyard, Yang Bagu's tears rolled down big and big, and she said in a trembling voice: "Don't ......"

She hurried away, and took out the last two silver dollars in the house from a secret place, and then held them in both hands, she cried loudly, and begged: "Master Heavenly Soldier, this is the last silver in the family, all for you, just to spare my daughter." ”

The leader Shunjun took the silver yuan in her hand and said, "Yo, there are silver yuan, the brother in front is not careful." ”

He put it away slowly, and then waved his hand: "Take it away!" ”

Zhong Shunjun laughed wildly, pulled Yang Bagu's daughter and went out, Nian Nu cried, she turned around and struggled and shouted: "Mother, ......"

Yang Bagu screamed heartbreakingly: "No! ”

She rushed out the door with a cry, grabbed the leg of a soldier, and was dragged away like that.

Zhang Shouyin roared bitterly: "Nian slave." ”

He rushed out of the door at the same time to save his daughter, and then he was knocked to the ground by the leader Shunjun with a punch in the face, and then three or four people surrounded him and punched and kicked him, causing him to roll all over the ground, and finally vomited blood and struggled on the ground.

And the rest of the people still pulled Nian Nu and walked away laughing wildly.

Yang Bagu cried all the way, she screamed, and was dragged for nearly a hundred steps like that, covered with blood on her face.

In the end, those Shunjun got tired of playing and kicked her away, and Yang Bagu watched her daughter cry and go away.

Yang Bagu slowly got up, she looked crazy, laughed violently, and she shouted to the surroundings: "The heavenly soldiers have entered the city, and everyone is living a good life." ”

She even clapped her hands and sang a ballad frantically: "Kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine and syrup, open the city gate to welcome the king, and the king will not pay for the food!" ”

"Eat his mother, eat her mother, eat not enough to break the king. Don't be bad, don't pay food, everyone has a happy life! ”

She clapped her hands and came over, still shouting: "The righteous army passed, the autumn did not commit any crimes, the king of Dashun said: Killing a person is like killing my father, and lewd a girl is like adultering my mother......"

Zhang Shouyin struggled to get up, his face was covered with blood and dust, and when he saw Yang Bagu coming, he trembled and said, "Bagu." ”

Yang Bagu looked at him with a strange look in her eyes, she stared at him stunned and said, "You, why don't you defend the city, why did you let these thieves in?" You have failed the emperor's grace! ”

She roared and went to beat Zhang Shouyin, Zhang Shouyin let her fight, he cried at the end, and slowly knelt on the ground.

In the end, the two hugged each other and cried bitterly, crying bitterly, and the sound was like crying blood.

……

Looking at it from afar, Lao Hu's heart twitched for a while, and he suddenly made up his mind that he couldn't let this happen again in Xuanfu Town.

After entering Beijing, Lao Hu's mind did not change, he thought about breaking into the king, no, it was King Shun who won the world so quickly, and he would definitely be rewarded after he ascended the throne, and then he would ......

It's just that what happened next surprised him, and when he first chased the stolen goods, Lao Hu was still a little excited. He didn't have a good impression of those noble officials, rich and wealthy gentry, but then things got out of control, and when it finally affected these ordinary people, a voice in his heart faintly said: "It shouldn't be like this." ”

He had a fear in his heart, if he let these locust-like thieves enter Xuanfu Town, would everything in front of him repeat itself to his wife and daughter? A repetition of the township fathers in Xuanfu Town? And they are so kind, they are so sincere to themselves, how can they let them be as ruined as they see?

He had been in the thief camp for a long time, and he knew that it would be a matter of time before they would get out of control, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, like this......

This is not the atmosphere of the new dynasty at all.

And now there are such scenes everywhere in Jingshi, he can't control it at all, and sometimes stop the rebellious army, and they will even draw their swords against each other. Even his battalion was in chaos, except for some of the developed intelligence officers, the rest of the battalion soldiers were as crazy.

He was silent for a long time, and looked at Kong Sandao, who was also silent beside him: "Master Kong." ”

Kong San knew what he was going to say, and he said, "It's almost there." ”

He looked at the couple not far away, they were still hugging each other and crying bitterly, not only the two of them, but the entire neighborhood was crying.

Their cries are filled with the deepest despair. (To be continued.) )
