The autumn wind is blowing, making a whirring sound, with the dull sound of "crunching and crunching" from the two gates, it is slowly opened, and the "Ming army" outside the city begins to pour into the city of Tingzhou, the torches are shining, and under the dim firelight, there is a sudden mutation.

"Don't move, don't move, don't kill whoever descends...... All squatted on the ground...... All of them are lying against the wall......"

With the abrupt sound of similar or identical words, those "Ming troops" had torn off their disguises, revealing their strong bodies, like fierce hungry wolves, and even drew their swords or sabers one after another, and put them on the necks of the soldiers guarding the city gate, causing the latter to retreat again and again, frightened, and did not dare to move.

In a few breaths, the Dashun army took control of the two city gates.

"Kill......"

Poof!

Qiang Langlang...

Although it has long been explained that if there is a sudden change, do not make senseless resistance, however, I don't know if it is due to loyalty or nervousness, there are still some defenders who can't help but make a move, and they are instantly killed by the disguised Dashun army.

Woo...

A dull and long horn sounded, piercing the silent night sky, as if trying to tear the sky, the agitation spread, and then, a few hundred meters away from Tingzhou City, there was also a reaction, and the sound of a war horse galloping, from far and near, unstoppable, and the two complemented each other.

Knock knock...

The sound of horses' hooves is deafening, like a surging river, in the rumble of "tap and tap", there is a tendency to break through the mountains and rivers, but in a few minutes, the iron cavalry of the Dashun army appeared next to the gate of Tingzhou, without any stop, and galloped away.

At this moment, there was no longer any resistance from the Ming army defending the city, and they all squatted aside honestly, not daring to move, their expressions were pale and silent.

In the blink of an eye, it was already a few days later.

On the way to Fuzhou, an elite iron cavalry of the Dashun army is slowly moving forward, and in the middle of the team, there is also a carriage, which makes the elite iron cavalry have the momentum of stars and moons, to be exact, more like a gorgeous prisoner car.

In the carriage, it was none other than Zhu Yujian and Queen Zeng's husband and wife!

At this moment, Niu Yan rode on horseback, just in front of the two carriage sedans, a little in front of the procession.

"Lieutenant Colonel, is this really necessary? Since you want to escort Zhu Yujian and his wife, why not escort them to Nanjing, why do you have to choose Fuzhou? Anyway, the emperor is still in Nanjing. ”

However, Niu Yan did not answer the words of the deputy general, but glanced back at the two carriage sedans, looked ahead, and said lightly: "I've been on the road for so long, don't be tired Zhu Yujian and his wife, in front of us is Jiuxi, a tributary of the Minjiang River, let's rest there for a while, bury the pot and make rice." ”

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel!"

Although the rank of lieutenant colonel is second only to the rank of general, which was created by Emperor Li Zicheng, Niu Yan still sounds strange, and is not as comfortable as the title of general.

Soon after, on the bank of Jiuxi, let him flow fast, making a commotion sound, the Dashun army was still burying the pot and cooking, a group of soldiers were patrolling, wandering around the camp, Zhu Yujian and Empress Zeng did not get out of the carriage, and talked softly in the carriage.

"Your Majesty, along the way, listen to the meaning of those chaotic troops outside, they want to escort us to Fuzhou, what are these people trying to do?"

Zhu Yujian's face was full of exhaustion, his hair was a little messy, and when he heard the queen's inquiry, he couldn't help but sigh and replied faintly: "Hey... What else can you do? In order to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, to show his generosity and generosity of the Great Shun Dynasty, so as to subdue those old ministers in Fujing, make an appearance, and better attack Guangdong and other places. ”

"In this case, Your Majesty, you must not let these thieves be satisfied......"

Empress Zeng blurted out, couldn't help but exclaim, and then said with some excitement: "If the news reaches Guangdong, the Tang King and they get the news, the emperor and his concubines will be captured by the chaotic army, and they will act even more restrained, and they will not dare to resist fiercely." ”

Zhu Yujian did not respond to Queen Zeng's words, but his eyes were a little confused, showing a look of despair, as if he was emotional, and said to himself: "It's late, it's too late, now that the entire Fujian has almost fallen into the hands of the Dashun army, and the Zheng family's sailors are also controlled by others, what else do they use to fight against others?" ”

"Moreover, the iron hooves of the Dashun army will far stop here, stop in Fujian, for a few days, it has been rumored that the Dashun army sent troops from Fujian and Jiangxi, straight into Guangdong, for the Tang King who has no foundation, there is no choice but to go away."

Seeing that Zhu Yujian was becoming more and more depressed and his words were becoming more and more negative, Zeng hurriedly interjected: "Your Majesty, don't fall for the tricks of the chaotic army, at this time, it is difficult to say what the situation is outside." The news we learned was just a private discussion by those soldiers, maybe it was deliberately said by the rebels. ”

Zhu Yujian was still unmoved, although he did not refute Queen Zeng's words, he became silent, and he no longer had that high-spirited and wise characteristic, and completely became the image of a prisoner.

At this moment, Queen Zeng's was anxious, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped, and she didn't know what to say in order to awaken Zhu Yujian's fighting spirit.

Rushing...

In the silence, the sound of the turbulent water was particularly harsh, which made the Empress Zeng secretly excited, and couldn't help but move in her heart, as if she had thought of something, and ignored the depressed Zhu Yujian for the time being, gently lifted the corner of the curtain of the carriage, and looked around.

I saw that the carriage stopped at the edge of the stream, and the soldiers of the Dashun Army spread out in a fan-shape, keeping their husband and wife under close guard, unless they had wings and flew away from the air, otherwise, there was no possibility of escape!

Gently lowered the curtains, Queen Zeng's face showed a resolute look, the whole person became extremely calm, looked at the expressionless Zhu Yujian, suddenly, Queen Zeng's cat got up, slammed open the door curtain, burst into tears, sobbed, and after leaving a sentence, then ran out.

"Your Majesty should be martyred, and the concubine will go to ...... first"

"Poof", accompanied by the sound of Zeng's falling into the turbulent Nine Creeks, the soldiers of the Dashun Army who were in charge of guarding immediately reacted, causing a small commotion.

"Oh no, someone fell overboard."

"Hurry up and inform Lieutenant Colonel Niu that Empress Nanming Zeng committed suicide by diving."

"Hurry, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and go into the water to save people! ”

......

As if he had encountered a blow to the head, Zhu Yujian woke up at the same time, but there was a momentary sway, a little dumbfounded, and returned to normal in an instant, as if he thought of something, I don't know if Queen Zeng's words played a role, Zhu Yujian pulled out, raised his feet and walked out of the carriage, and wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river.

However, it was already this time, it was too late, and Zhu Yujian was immediately stopped by several soldiers.

"Hurry up, stop Emperor Longwu, if something goes wrong with this and something happens, you and I won't have good fruit to eat!"

The carriage was moved, far away from Jiuxi, surrounded by the three layers of the Dashun army and the outer three layers, Niu Yan was standing not far away, watching this scene, his brows were furrowed, his expression was very ugly, and he was also listening to a soldier's report.

"Lieutenant Colonel Qiyu Niu, I have already sent people into the water to salvage it, and I have also sent people down the river, and I have not found the body of the Empress of the Longwu Imperial Court."

Niu Yan didn't get angry, didn't roar loudly, and didn't look at the soldiers, but just said lightly: "Okay, fortunately, it's just that an insignificant queen died, and Zhu Yujian, the Emperor of Longwu, didn't have anything to do, notify me to strengthen the supervision of Zhu Yujian, and no similar things are allowed to happen again." ”
