Chapter Twenty-Nine: So Very Good

Now is no longer the time to serve in the Ming army, many things are different from the past, the Ming Dynasty at least has a hierarchical system to restrict, but in the Shun army is gone. Although there is now a national capital and a year name, and Li Zicheng is also called the emperor, the Dashun army in reality is still scattered, the soldiers and horses are not reorganized, and the leaders have their own grass platform teams and territories. Li Zicheng is just the most powerful one among them.

And He Renlong's strength should not be underestimated, at this time, if there are soldiers and food, he can be the king and hegemon. Tang Tong and Jiang Hao have a deep understanding of this. Now, Da Ming sees that the wind is about to disperse, and Li Zicheng, who has infinite scenery, seems to be the most promising person to inherit this qiē, but now everyone is like a monkey who has gone to hair, very shrewd, until the end, no one dares to put all the chips in one basket.

Tang Tong and Jiang Jiu didn't want to fight to the death with Zhu Ping'an, although He Renlong in the back might not think so. Zhu Ping'an's attitude made the two of them suddenly relaxed, turned their horses' heads and went back to report to He Renlong.

"Kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, Lao Tzu doesn't want to do it, if you want to do it, send your descendants to go shopping immediately, Lao Tzu doesn't do this discounted business."

With such an calculation, the two of them galloped all the way back, and just returned to their own formation, they suddenly heard the thunderous sound of iron hooves behind them, and the exclamations of their subordinates.

Turning his head, he saw that the black-pressed Shandong cavalry had already killed along the streets of Jingshi like dark clouds. The distance between the two armies was only more than 600 steps, but there were many people and horses on their side, and they were crowded like the crowd of people watching the lantern festival in the Beijing Division on the 15th day of the first lunar month. When the Shandong army was discovered, it was too late to retreat or change the formation.

The distance is too close, the foot power of the Shandong army's war horse has not been completely released, and the closer it is, the more suffocating this momentum is like the top of Mount Tai.

Tang Tong and Jiang Jiu's souls were scattered. I didn't have time to scold Zhu Ping'an's ancestors in my heart, but I was busy beckoning the soldiers to meet the enemy, but so many Ming soldiers under my command came to the prosperous Beijing Division, how could they be in the mood to deal with the bloody battle in front of them at this moment. The officers shouted vigorously, but the soldiers below retreated to the houses on both sides in a uniform manner. It was as if the whole team welcomed the Shandong Army.

Helplessly, there were too many people, the streets were too crowded, and the open space on both sides had already been occupied by the soldiers with weak hands, and most of the remaining soldiers had no place to stand at all, so they could only spread their feet and retreat towards the He Renlong behind them.

The feather arrows of the Shandong army roared in, and the soldiers and horses who hastily received the enemy instantly knocked down a large area, and the remaining Chinese army wrapped in Tang Tong and Jiang Hao rushed towards He Renlong without his life.

The black Shandong army formation was suddenly mixed with Tang Tong and Jiang Jiu's soldiers and horses, and it was impossible to distinguish them at all. Cao Bianjiao wielded a long-handled eyebrow knife. Rush to the front of the line. Tang Tong and Jiang Liang's subordinates, including He Renlong's soldiers and horses, most of them are gathered Jin army and Shaanxi soldiers, among them, who would not know the "Xiao Cao General" back then, Cao Bianjiao's bravery and fierce champion of the three armies, who dares to come up to block, not to mention. Behind him were thousands of elite black-armored cavalry.

Tang Tong and Jiang Hao's defeated army rushed into He Renlong's army one by one, and He Renlong's soldiers and horses were willing to face the battle. Don't fall into a state of chaos at this time. He Renlong was so angry that he ordered his soldiers to close the city gate immediately, but the defeated army had already crowded the entire urn city, and the speed slowed down suddenly, and the crowd squeezed the city gate to a flood.

The crowd slammed into He Renlong's Chinese army, and even He Renlong himself was knocked off his horse. The guards around him were sick, carried him on his back, and went up to the city tower in a huddle, so as to escape the fate of being trampled by the follow-up Shandong cavalry.

From the streets of Kyoshi to the city of Urn. and then to the low Guangqu Gate, which is how the Shandong Army attacked and trampled all the way. He didn't even have to wave the blade in his hand at all, and he stepped out of a bloody path.

It was not until half an hour after the Shandong army had all left the city that the Shun army in the Guangqumen area gradually calmed down from shock and fear. The corpses like flesh and mud all over the place proved how terrifying the impact of the Shandong cavalry was just now, and the soldiers who escaped by luck came out of their hiding places in shock, and the wounded soldiers who broke their hands and feet rolled and wailed everywhere.

He Renlong was helped up from the city tower, and when he saw the tragic situation under the city, he couldn't help but feel sad. Since the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty, he led the army across the mountains and Shaanxi, all of them were invincible and invincible. He Renlong stood at the head of the city and scolded Tang Tong and Jiang Xuan. No one dared to step forward to dissuade them.

After a long time, his henchman Wei Daheng stepped forward cautiously, "Guogong, we have been entangled in Guangqumen for more than two hours, and now it is evening, I heard that Li Zicheng over there has personally led the main force into the city and drove directly to Chengtianmen, so we have to hurry up!" ”

A sentence woke up the person in the dream, and made He Renlong regret it. originally met Zhu Ping'an, who broke through at Guangqumen, and He Renlong also moved some thoughts. Shandong is rich, Zhu Ping'an's soldiers are strong and strong, and after pacifying the Beijing Division, the Ming Dynasty is already considered to be a dead country. But the chaos in this world is still there, there are Manchus, Sichuan, Huguang and Zhang Xianzhong outside the Guan, and the remnants of the Ming Dynasty in Jiangnan are guarding half of the country, although He Renlong is a rough man, but he also knows that the current opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime chaos, and he must plan for his future.

If Zhu Ping'an can be captured alive, and then control Qilu's soldiers and horses, then he will be able to have the strength to become a long and short with Li Zicheng in the future.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ping'an had no intention of cooperating with sincerity, and before he began to negotiate, he put himself together.

At the moment, it is useless to regret it, you can only kill the imperial city, there is also an emperor who can live in strange goods, if you can hold Chongzhen in your hands and command the world, then the remnants of the Ming Dynasty are not captured?

……

The sky gradually darkened, and in the huge hall, Wang Chengen slowly lit a few lights, and the main hall of the Qianqing Palace finally regained some vitality.

Since Zhu Ping'an and Zhu Cihong left, Chongzhen has never left here. Empress Zhou and Concubine Tian also came to the palace one after another. Tian Guifei's body has been deteriorating recently, and she was carried in.

Emperor Chongzhen sat quietly on the throne, holding the hands of Empress Zhou and Concubine Tian around him, and did not let go for a moment.

I don't know when, Tian Guifei's hands gradually became cold. The body also completely relied on Emperor Chongzhen's body.

Just now, she was still muttering to herself, Chongzhen and Queen Zhou understood it, and what she said was clear: "What is it for!" ”

The sentence was repeated many times, and the voice gradually sank. Until there is no longer a trace of body temperature.

Chongzhen's tears slowly slid down, and Tian Guifei snuggled up to him tightly, just like the wedding night back then.

"Otomo!" Looking at the lit lights, Chongzhen suddenly asked, "Did Empress Yi'an send someone there?" Urge, let her go on the road as much as possible, time is running out! ”

Wang Chengen turned around and came back, "Back to Your Majesty, the old slave is in charge of his own affairs, and he has already arranged for Empress Yi'an to go out of the palace with the eldest princess!" ”

Chongzhen was stunned. "Why?"

"If you go back to your majesty, Queen Yi'an is a hard-working person, and she has been lonely all her life, and the old slave really can't bear to see her suffer from the scourge of swords again!"

Chongzhen was stunned for a while by a sentence, and then he sighed for a long time, unspeakably embarrassed.

"That's it! The imperial sister-in-law's life is indeed not easy, it is rare to be able to escape this catastrophe, so let her go! ”

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound at the door of the temple. Wang Chengen was also stunned for a moment, and hurriedly went to open the door. But I saw a thin figure standing in front of the door.

"Fang Gong, you, why haven't you left the palace yet!" Wang Chengen was very surprised. After the loss of Baoding, Fangzhenghua was spared, and when he returned to Beijing, he was removed by Chongzhen and thrown into the Huanyi Bureau to do miscellaneous work.

Fortunately, Wang Chengen took care of him in many ways. Only then did Fang Zhenghua leave a life and survive in the deep palace. The Shun army approached Jingshi, and Wang Chengen couldn't bear to see him die in the chaos, so he sent someone to send him back to his hometown. But I didn't expect that Fangzhenghua didn't leave at all.

Fangzheng Hua did not wear a hat. He was dressed in gray miscellaneous clothes, but the eunuchs in front of the main hall were no one who dared to underestimate him.

Fang Zhenghua smiled: "Brother Xian's heart is understood, just go back to his hometown to do something, the children, nephews and relatives in his hometown have their own work, I am an old fellow, I have no power and no money, and I am also a drag on them when I go back." After thinking about it, I will be a companion with my virtuous brother and accompany His Majesty on the road together! Just ask Brother Xian not to dislike my old bones! ”

Wang Chengen stood in place in a daze, looking at Fang Zhenghua for a long time, water vapor slowly appeared in his eyes, but a smile appeared on his face.

"Fang Gong, please!" Wang Chengen turned to one side and let Fang Zhenghua in.

The arrival of Fangzhenghua made Emperor Chongzhen both relieved and guilty, and only in the end could he see the essence behind it, although he came a little late, but after all, he saw it clearly.

Chongzhen was moved, but seeing Fang Zheng dressed in gray and gray hair added a little sadness.

"You two old people, if there is really an afterlife, I will compensate you two well!"

A faint sentence made Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua burst into tears.

The sky finally got completely dark, but the sky of Jingshi was still filled with long-lasting gunsmoke and fire. Wang Chengen looked at the sky and bowed deeply to Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, the old slave and Fang Gong are guarding the door." Rest assured, the old slave and others will definitely fight for the last time for Majesty, so that Majesty and Niangniang can get on the road safely! ”

Chongzhen nodded, "Go ahead!" After that, he snuggled tightly with Queen Zhou and Tian Guifei and never separated.

After Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua said goodbye, he slowly walked out of the main hall and closed the door tightly.

"Fang Gong!" Wang Chengen said: "In my room, there are some weapons left by the deceased to kill the enemy, and the younger brother has always treasured them, and I don't know if they can be used." I also ask Fang Gong to take a hand and move them all over with my younger brother, let's be in front of the gate of this hall to guard this last journey for His Majesty and Niangniang, how about it? ”

Fang Zhenghua stroked his palms and laughed, "That's very good! (To be continued......)
