Chapter 137: Crossing the Ming and Qing Dynasties and staying at the inn at night
It is said that a one-day husband and wife are a hundred days, and a hundred-day husband and wife are deeper than the sea. At the most critical moment, she relied on her beauty to attract the enemy's attention with "pretense", and he risked his life and tried his best, Hu Tian struck out this palm in a hurry.
This palm is the most important palm in his life, and this palm is also the last palm in his life. No one counts the time, and if it does, it's only two or three seconds.
And these two or three seconds are the last time in Hu Tian's life. The moment he stabbed the "return point", Hu Tian's lifelong skills were ruined. It was the almost seamless cooperation of a family of four that led to the end of this battle, from impossible to possible.
And Hu Tian's strong skills, Yu Yan accounted for two-thirds, and the two children accounted for one-third, but Fang Yu didn't leave it to himself at all. Yu Yan didn't say anything, but he replied with a smile: "You have already given birth to two children for me, this is the biggest and best gift in the world, what is this skill?"
With tears in her eyes, she hugged her husband and slowly walked towards the city tower in the distance. Slowly approaching the place, I realized that this was not a castle tower, but an inn. Wouldn't it be better for the husband and wife to look at each other and smile?
The innkeeper came out enthusiastically to greet him: "Guest officer, are you sharpening or staying in the hotel?"
Yu Yan said: "Xiao Er, we want a larger room with two beds in it. ”
Fang Yu added, "Prepare some more food for us." ”
Xiao Er answered, cleaned up the room, and prepared wine and food. Looking at the bloodstains on their bodies, he couldn't help but ask: "Guest officer, these three watches in the middle of the night, you are really bold, looking at the bloodstains on your bodies, you must have encountered robbers, right?"
Yu Yan replied, "Exactly." ”
Xiao Er said: "That's also a blessing in misfortune, nothing has been snatched away, right?"
Yu Yan sneered: "Don't worry, the money won't be less for you." ”
"That's not what I meant, officer. ”
Fang Yu said: "Little Er, are you saying that there will be robbers in this area at night?"
Xiao Er sighed, looked outside, closed the door, and looked quite mysterious: "At a glance, I knew that the guest officer was from out of town." I advise you, don't come out at night. ”
Yu Yan looked very surprised: "Why is this?"
"Alas!" Xiao Er let out a long sigh.
In the second year of Chongzhen, there was a Li Zicheng uprising, and then he was a general under Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, who was brave and strategic. After Gao Yingxiang's sacrifice, Li Zicheng succeeded to the title of King Chuang. At that time, the Central Plains was severely famine, and Li Zicheng's rebel army grew rapidly, with as many as one million soldiers. Li Zicheng established the Dashun regime, and the era name was Yongchang. The rebel army was like a bamboo, annihilating the Ming army, and approaching Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
On March 15 of the 17th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, led his army to attack the city of Beijing, and heard that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty hanged himself in Jingshan.
Yu Yan asked, "Did you hang yourself?"
"Not really!" Xiao Er sighed and shook his head.
Fang Yu said, "Little brother, you go on." ”
The first thing Li Zicheng did after entering Beijing was not to appease the people, but to order the whole city to search for Emperor Chongzhen and Empress, claiming that it did not matter whether they lived or died. On March 21, Emperor Chongzhen's body was discovered, and Li Zicheng wanted to use this to inform the world. He removed the coffins of Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhou from the palace and showed them at Donghua Gate.
Hearing this, Fang Yu said casually: "I remember that when I first entered Beijing, didn't Li Zicheng give an order and say: Dare to kill people who hurt people and plunder people's property and women? ”
"Who's to say it isn't!"
But then the peasant army began to torture and plunder Ming officials, raid homes everywhere, and confiscate property. The sergeants made torture instruments and severely tortured the officials of the Ming Dynasty, which was extremely cruel. For example, Liu Zongmin made 5,000 clamping sticks, "the wood is all ridged, connected with nails, and all the bones are broken to clamp people." Many officials of the Ming Dynasty suffered from this disaster, including the surrender of ministers. The atmosphere of terror began to spread, and the whole city of Beijing was panicked.
"This Li Zicheng is too hateful!" Yu Yan couldn't help but say indignantly.
"The lady's words are wrong, but the hateful thing is not Li Zicheng. Fang Yu said with a smile.
"It's not Li Zicheng, what's that?"
"Lady, you will only give birth to children, take care of your own man, and if you do anything else, I will come to Dali. ”
"Don't you look down on people?" Yu Yan glared at him, and ate with Yuanyuan by herself, but Zhengzheng was fascinated by it, and shouted for Xiao Er to continue.
Li Zicheng was immersed in his dream of being an emperor and had no intention of managing his subordinates. His generals began to live in luxury. It is rumored that when Liu Zongmin watched the singers dance once, he drew his sword and hacked all the singers to death just because he was unhappy. There are even rumors that several generals under Li Zicheng like to use human heads as wine glasses to drink and have fun together.
"Hmph! it's too much of a deception!" Fang Yu couldn't help but pound the table.
Yu Yan smiled and took the opportunity to sneer at each other: "Fang Lang's words are wrong, it's not Li Zicheng who deceives people too much." ”
"It's not him, who is that?"
"It seems that Fang Lang will only sleep with the slave family, and he will sleep stupidly. ”
Her words caused Xiao Er to snicker next to her. Fang Yu coughed dryly twice, this world came really fast. He poured Xiao Er a glass of wine and invited him to sit down. Xiao Er couldn't refuse, thanked him, took a sip of wine, and continued to speak.
The generals are still like this, not to mention the soldiers. Soldiers of the peasant army plundered the population on a large scale. When the common people had a little money, they raided their homes and looted them. The people were miserable, and they wanted to flee Beijing with their families, but if they were discovered by King Chuang's army, they would be tortured and even beheaded.
Fang Yu sighed and shook his head helplessly: "King Chuang is really confused to act like this, isn't this digging his own grave?"
"Who's to say it's not! So, guest officer, it's better to go out less, so as not to provoke death. Speaking of this, he glanced at Yu Yan, lowered his voice, and said to Fang Yu, "Guest officer, please forgive the little one for talking too much." ”
"If you have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
"Your lady is as beautiful as a flower, but don't go out. When the soldiers saw the beautiful girl, they took it for themselves indiscriminately, and they were very domineering. If the officers and soldiers come to investigate, you can hide in the cupboard. ”
"Thank you, little brother!"
sent Xiao Er away, and Zhengzheng couldn't wait to start digging into the roots. Fang Yu put down the dishes and chopsticks, and then continued to tell the story with Xiao Er's last words.
"What Xiao Er said just now should be 1644. ”
In just a few dozen days in Beijing, Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, lost the support of the people. Subsequently, he fought against Wu Sangui at the Shanhaiguan. Wu Sangui was defeated and surrendered to the Manchu regent Dolgon. Dolgon's Eight Banners Army and Wu Sangui's army joined forces to break the army of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang.
Zhengzheng exclaimed: "Ah, father, has Li Zicheng failed like this?"
"Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Li Zicheng asked for it, and he couldn't complain about anyone. ”
"Father, what about later?"
Li Zicheng led the remnants of his army to flee back to Beijing. On April 29, Li Zicheng proclaimed himself emperor in Beijing and beheaded all the people of Wu Sangui's family. The next day, Li Zicheng set fire to the Forbidden City and some buildings in Beijing, and led his army to withdraw from the city.
"It's only been a month, Li Zicheng is gone?" Yu Yan shook her head.
"Father, what happened?"
After Li Zicheng was defeated and withdrew from Beijing, he led his army to fight in Henan and Shaanxi. On May 17, the second year of Shunzhi, it should be 1645, and he was mistakenly killed by villagers in Jiugong Mountain, Tongcheng County, Hubei.
"Ahh
Zhengzheng said: "Father, how did he die?"
Fang Yu patted the table lightly and said, "I want to know what happens next, and listen to my decomposition next time!"
Yu Yan said angrily: "Don't say it, do you?"
"Don't say it. ”
"Don't say I'll tear your mouth apart!"
"Don't say that. ”
"What do you say? Don't you want to snap?"
"Tonight won't move. ”
"And what do you want?"
"Only by crossing mountains and mountains, trekking through mountains and rivers can we obtain the true scriptures. ”
Yu Yan laughed out loud: "What are you doing with such a high-sounding sound? Don't you just want to touch it?" ”
"In that case, then Xiao Ke will tell me how this King Chuang died. ”
At the beginning of May, when Li Zicheng's troops arrived at the foot of Jiugong Mountain in Tongcheng, Hubei, he led more than 20 light horsemen to climb the mountain to explore the road, but was killed by the local militia Jiang Dayan, and his body was secretly buried. After Li Zicheng's death in battle, the peasant army was filled with grief and anger, and immediately swept through the Jiugong Mountains to retaliate against the local people......
"It's too wretched. Yu Yan sighed and shook her head.
Unexpectedly, this time traveled directly to 1644. originally thought that it would come to the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty, but who knew that it would be another troubled era. It's better to be modern, there is no war, only peaceful coexistence. Every time I travel through more than 300 years, then next time, I should be able to go back to modern times!
Fang Yu smiled and asked, "What are you thinking?"
"I'm wondering how long we're going to be here this time. ”
Suddenly, at this moment, there was a burst of messy footsteps outside the door. As soon as Fang Yu pushed the door open, Xiao Er crashed directly into his arms. I saw him say in a panic: "Guest officer, hurry up and hide, the devil under King Chuang has come to rob the money again." ”
With that, he quickly staggered away. Fang Yu opened the window and took a look, only to see that the black pressure outside was full of soldiers with weapons in their hands, and they had already surrounded the place. What can I do?
Yu Yan asked, "Are you here to arrest us?"
Fang Yu frowned and said, "No, it's here to rape, and it's also here to rob money." ”
"Isn't there a lot of people out there?"
Fang Yu nodded, for the sake of today's plan, there is only one way to outwit, not to break through. He smiled slightly and whispered to Yu Yan and the two children for a while.
The soldiers shouted and rushed in, but the room was empty, and there was no one left, except for a few plates of side dishes and four bowls of rice on the table.
Soldier A scratched his scalp strangely and said, "I just saw it come in, where are the people?"
Soldier B pointed to the half-open window and said, "Didn't you jump off the window and escape?"
"Give me chase!"
A group of soldiers chased after him again. After a while, seeing that there was no movement, Yu Yan on the beam of the room was staying, but was pulled by Fang Yu.
"Don't be fooled, wait!"
"Husband, what's wrong? Are you saying they'll come back?"
He smiled but did not answer, and sure enough, the group of soldiers just now suddenly turned back and killed one of the rifles, but the room was still empty. It does seem to have run away. Looking at their disappointed expressions, Yu Yan was furious, thinking that you were also poor people at the beginning, rebelling and rebelling for a bite to eat, but now you are turning back to harm your father, old folks, and your brothers and sisters, you really deserve to die!
