For a while, all the people of Nanjing City were dispatched, no longer afraid and uneasy to hide in the house and shiver, but they still cowered, like mice, probing their brains out of the house, or a family standing at the door, or standing on the second floor, all quietly watching the scene in front of them, looking at everything on the street.

More precisely, the crowd saw the rows of people lying on the ground!

I saw that the streets of Nanjing City were full of soldiers of the Dashun Army, and they were all lying on both sides of the street, sleeping there with the sky as the cover and the earth as the seat, neatly and criss-crossed, like wooden sticks on both sides of the street.

From ancient times to the present, these common people do not say that they have seen it, or they have never heard of it, but there is an army of that dynasty, or a division of benevolence and righteousness, as it is now, not only does not disturb the people, but also does not commit any offense to the people in the city, but also sleeps directly on the street, and leaves an empty road for pedestrians to walk.

At this moment, the cicadas and birds that belong to the summer seem to have all disappeared, Nanjing City is quiet, all the people are solemn, no one moves, just stand there, quietly watching this scene, some people's eyes are astringent, and there is an inexplicable emotion in their hearts.

Suddenly, the people of Nanjing City thought a lot, and all kinds of information about the Great Shun Dynasty came to their minds, and the bad ones were automatically blocked; Okay, they all believe it, the Dashun Army is not only a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, but also a division of benevolence and righteousness among the teachers of benevolence and righteousness.

"Whoa..."

Suddenly, the Dashun army moved, and almost at the same time, all the soldiers woke up, put away their backpacks under their heads in unison, and after carrying them neatly, they walked neatly and neatly in all directions.

Bang Bang Bang ....

"Long live the Great Shun Army.... The benevolent and righteous division of the Great Shun Army.... Long live the Dashun Army .... The army of benevolence and righteousness of the Great Shun Army...."

With the sound of thunderous applause, the people of the whole city were boiling, and the mountain shouted, repeating over and over again, watching the departure of the Dashun army, with an earnest light in his eyes, and excited.

Soon after, the city of Nanjing returned to normal, the only difference was that groups of Dashun troops were patrolling, wandering around, maintaining order in the city, and notices were posted in various conspicuous places, causing the people to talk about it, stop and watch, and point and point.

"You see, the Dashun Army is really a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and the emperor is a Ming monarch in ancient times, specially designed for us who are in charge of many disasters and hardships.

"Look, look at it, there is still above, once all the Ming troops in Yingtianfu are cleared, they will give us the land of the people, and they will also be filed in the new yamen, and no one can encroach on it."

"Hey... Is this a little untrue from the rumors? When the land is allocated, it still has to be labored, or to build rivers, or to build bridges and pave roads, isn't it for nothing? ”

"Come on, you're satisfied! Although it is labor, don't people write it clearly? Whether it is digging rivers, cleaning up silt, or building bridges and paving roads, it is not for nothing, not only to eat and live, but also to take silver. Although it is a little less, but compared to before, I don't know how many times better? ”

......

The common people of Nanjing City were not only boiling, but also restless, especially hoping that the Dashun army would quickly occupy the entire Yingtianfu and even the entire Jiangnan, so that they could live and work in peace and contentment, and they could also get a few acres of fertile land.

On the contrary to the reaction of the people, the rich merchants, magnates and squires in Nanjing City were uneasy, as if there were many buckets in their hearts, fearful, fearful, unwilling, and apprehensive......

However, even so, they were afraid like a tiger in their hearts, they had no choice, and they couldn't leave if they wanted to, the entire city of Nanjing was controlled by the Dashun army, and the control of going out of the city was extremely strict, and they had no possibility of escaping at all.

In the palace, in the Wuying Palace, Li Zicheng stood directly above in military uniform, Li Laiheng was located on the top of the main hall, and behind him stood Zhang San, Yang Shengyuan, Sun San and others, Li Laiheng clasped his hands into fists, bowed and said: "Emperor Qiqi, Zhu Cihong has been imprisoned, and according to your orders, he has been placed in a mansion and is closely monitored by soldiers." ”

"Well, good, that's good!"

Li Zicheng approved, nodded lightly with satisfaction, looked up behind Li Laiheng, and said loudly: "Zhang San, Sun San, you have done a good job this time, you can return to the team, there is a stroke in the credit book, after the war is over, you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds!" ”

"Emperor Xie!"

Tian Jianxiu stood up, put his hands into his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers searched the whole city all night, and did not find Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and other traitorous ministers, according to the summary analysis of news from all sides, they should have absconded yesterday afternoon, and their mansion was also empty, only some subordinates and maidservants. ”

"These people really have some ways and means, under the supervision of our intelligence officers, not only did they transfer the family property without the slightest trace, but also sent their family members out of Nanjing City without anyone noticing, without attracting anyone's attention."

Li Zicheng looked thoughtful, and after finishing speaking, Tian Jianxiu echoed: "It seems that Ma Shiying and others have already had a plan, knowing that Nanjing City cannot be defended, I am afraid that before our army moves, these people are already ready to evacuate and transfer their family property one after another." Otherwise, even if they have great ability, it is impossible to hide from our intelligence system. ”

At this time, just as Li Zicheng was about to say something, Gao Yigong walked in quickly, his face was full of excitement, and he said as he walked: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good news, Zhu Yousong, his mother and two concubines have been caught and are being escorted to Nanjing City, and they will arrive in the afternoon." ”

It was definitely a shocking news, and Li Laiheng couldn't help but ask first: "Marshal Gao, this is a great credit, who and which unit captured Zhu Yousong?" ”

Hearing this, in the expectant eyes of everyone, Gao Yigong smiled bitterly, shook his head again and again, and instead sold Guanzi: "Isn't it someone from our Dashun Army?" Nor is it a unit of the Dashun Army? ”

"Marshal Gao, what's going on?" Tian Jianxiu couldn't help but ask, his face full of curiosity.

"Your Majesty, marshals and generals, here's the thing, Zhu Yousong wanted to escape from the water, but was captured alive by his own troops, came to an urn to catch turtles, and was hijacked by the chief soldiers Tian Xiong, Ma Degong, Qiu Cheng, Zhang Jie, Huang Ming, and Chen Xiance on the imperial boat, depending on what they mean, they want to dedicate it to the emperor, ask for a reward, and give preferential treatment."

As soon as Gao Yigong finished speaking, Liu Fangliang said indignantly: "Hmph~ Such treacherous and renunciated people are a group of living villains, and the white-eyed wolves that are not familiar with them should be killed, what is the use of keeping them?" ”

However, Li Jin had a different opinion and retorted: "Marshal Liu, I don't agree with you, what kind of emperor Zhu Yousong is, everyone knows that even when the country is in trouble, he does not forget his personal pleasures, and he reuses traitorous ministers like Ma Shiying to suppress loyal ministers and good generals, and it is not strange at all that he has today's fate, and he is not worthy of sympathy at all." ”

Liu Fangliang wanted to refute, but was stopped by Li Zicheng waving his hand.

"Well, there's no need to talk about that, there's no point."

Li Zicheng summed up and said this, and he didn't dislike the characterization of Tian Xiong and others' behavior, and then added: "Moreover, not only can they not be killed, but they must also be treated preferentially and entrusted with reuse." Otherwise, if we continue to fight south, who else is willing to take the initiative to surrender to us? ”
