Chapter 69: Yanyu Jiangnan
Outside, the smoke of gunpowder is everywhere, the flames of war are flying, but the Qinhuai River in Nanjing is still a faction of hooks and tiles, singing and dancing, and the scene of singing all night is as charming and moving as the enchanting moonlight in the night sky, but it is also bleak to the bone. The Qinglou on both sides of the Qinhuai River is full of the world of wind and dust women, and it has become the most prosperous singing and dancing place in the Ming Dynasty. Many Qinglou have taken in the lonely and helpless virgins whose parents have died, and they teach them piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, song and dance. The most famous is Liu Ruyi of Qin Huai Bayan, and Liu Ruyi's justice is Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, a fifty-year-old man who was choked by the "faint monarch" of the Southern Ming Dynasty - Zhu Yousong, the king of fortune.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Lord Qian of the Ministry of Rites asks to see you. Zhu Yousong's personal little eunuch Xiao Weizi trotted all the way to the main hall to report.
"Hahaha...... Five horses split the corpse! Five horses split the corpse!" Zhu Yousong shouted as he slapped the table and laughed.
"The emperor spares his life!" Xiao Weizi knelt on the ground and begged for mercy with a "poof".
"Five horses split the corpse! five horses split the corpse!hahaha......" Zhu Yousong still called and slapped the table.
"No, the emperor is not talking to me. Xiao Weizi thought about it, slowly looked up at the emperor, the emperor was staring intently at a wooden jar on the table, Xiao Weizi smiled and patted his knees, stood up, walked behind the emperor, and took a closer look, in the wooden jar were two crickets fighting, regardless of victory or defeat. Xiao Wei Zi had an idea, and immediately slapped his horse and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, and two more rare treasures!"
"Hahaha...... These were sent by the Mashou Prefecture yesterday, and I named them "Five Horses" and the other "Split Corps." How?!" Zhu Yousong said with a smile.
"Okay! The name chosen by the emperor is so good! The image is vivid, look at how much that cricket looks like a wild horse!" Xiao Wei Zi clapped his hands again and again, and Zhu Yousong couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
"By the way, Xiao Weizi, what were you yelling at just now?!" Zhu Yousong asked as he continued to tease the crickets intently.
"Your Majesty, Lord Qian of the Ministry of Rites asks to see you. Wait outside the hall!" Xiao Weizi said, pointing out.
"Old Wei, is he idle again?!Announce him in, I still have something to ask him, just right!" Zhu Yousong said, covered the wooden can, pushed it aside, and sat on the dragon chair with his body straight.
"Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Xuanli Department, enters the hall!" Xiao Weizi stepped forward to proclaim.
"Minister, Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, greets the emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Qian Qianyi knelt down in the palace and said.
"Calm down! Ai Qingzhen ordered you to choose a lady to enter the palace in Nanjing, can you send eunuchs to search the alleys in the city?" Zhu Yousong coughed and said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, all the houses with women in Jinling have been marked with yellow paper, but there is a commotion in Nanjing. Qian Qianyi shook his head and replied, thinking, "This Zhu Yousong is really a faint monarch, he didn't do anything serious after becoming the emperor, he only knew that he blindly enjoyed himself in the harem, searched for women everywhere every day, and handed over all military affairs to Ma Shiying, the capital of the cabinet, to manage, making the country buy and sell officials everywhere, and there was a miasma." I regret that I shouldn't have listened to such words, when this Ministry of Rites is still a book, if he is a little promising, he can learn from Liu Xiuguang Wu Zhongxing from afar, and he can learn from Zhao Gou in a corner of An, but he prefers to learn from Liu Chan, the queen of Shu. Alas, I don't think this Nanming will last long. ”
"Aiqing, why did you shake your head and sigh just now? Did you quarrel with your wife again today?" Zhu Yousong said in surprise, jumped down from the dragon chair, ran to Qian Qianyi, and stared at his face carefully.
"The imperial doctor said that I may have rheumatism, and it is better to shake my head and my neck!" Qian Qianyi didn't know where to make up a reason, anyway, he prevaricated.
"Okay! Then shake it more! My mother, Empress Dowager Zou, will come to Nanjing next month, how is the Cixi Palace repaired?" Zhu Yousong asked again, and before Qian Qianyi could speak, Zhu Yousong shouted, "Hurry up! I can't let my mother sleep on the road! If I don't get better at the end of the month, I will move to your house and let your wife serve me, hahaha......"
"Your Majesty......" Qian Qianyi was about to speak, Zhu Yousong remembered something again, and hurriedly asked: "My mother is coming, you are limited to collect 10,000 taels of gold within three days, can it be done?" Let you supervise the dragon and phoenix bed base, bed top frame, palace furnishings and gold and jade of the Nanming Palace? By the way, and let you purchase cat's eyes, emeralds and a hundred South China Sea pearls, all of which are ready?"
"Your Majesty, the ministers are done! ha...... The emperor is satisfied this time, right?" Qian Qianyi said with a smile.
Zhu Yousong glanced at the palace hall, touched the doorpost, pointed to the palace maids, and said dejectedly: "The hardware is good, but these software are really not good!"
"Your Majesty, the old minister is stupid, and please ask the emperor to make it clear?" Qian Qianyi was puzzled.
"The Nanming Palace is newly completed, the emperor should be happy, why is he still sullen when he learns the good news today, does the emperor miss the imperial brother?" Xiao Weizi pondered the holy intention for a moment and said with a smile.
Zhu Yousong sighed and said: "Since ancient times, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest! So, you are a eunuch, I am now in the age of martial arts, but the palace is full of gold and jade but there is no beautiful woman to accompany me, where is there still fun in life?!"
"Lord Qian, do you understand?! The emperor means that you should search for beauties as soon as possible and inherit the inheritance for the Nanming Dynasty! Go down and do it!" Xiao Weizi understood what Zhu Yousong meant, and ordered.
"Father-in-law Wei, what is your identity that you dare to be arrogant to me?!The emperor hasn't opened his mouth yet!" Qian Qianyi pointed at Xiao Weizi, and said with his hands trembling with anger.
"Aiqing, Xiao Weizi sent the eunuch Tian Cheng to Hangzhou and Jiaxing to select ladies last month, and also found two top goods. It is said that the building near the water gets the moon first, I asked you to choose a lady in the Jinling Gongyuan, and you chose one out of seventy people, and finally found a niece of Ruan Dacheng. I heard that Ruan Dacheng single-handedly ruined the beautiful affair between Li Xiangjun and Hou Fangyu, are you here to avenge your wife's good sister Li Xiangjun? Aren't you Chengxin and Ma Shoufu unable to get along? I call you boss, don't be like this, you make it difficult for a widow to do this!" Zhu Yousong said as he walked up to Qian Qianyi and stretched out his hand to help him straighten his collar.
"Your Majesty ......" Qian Qianyi stopped talking, thinking to himself, "You yourself indulge too much every day, waste the government, and still think about the foundation of the Southern Ming Dynasty, isn't this nonsense? If you have half the brains of the ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di, Nan Ming will not stop there! Alas, ......"
"Look, look at it! Speechless! You can't do a good job in the beauty pageant, Xiao Weizi also ordered someone to prepare it for me to catch a toad*, which is a great merit to Nanming! Hahaha...... Look, next month, you, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, will simply let Xiao Weizi deserve it!" Zhu Yousong flicked his sleeves, looked at Xiao Weizi and smiled.
"Thank you for your grace! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Xiao Wei Zi smiled and gave Qian Qianyi a roll of his eyes. Qian Qianyi thought to himself, "You don't know what the people of Jinling call you, toad Tianzi! Alas, the old man still said it directly!"
"Your Majesty, there is a battle report from the front, Yangzhou is lost...... The emperor, the minister thought that the top priority now was not to choose a beautiful woman, but to depose Ma Shiying as the capital, transfer Zheng Chenggong back to defense, and prepare the whole country for war! Woo woo woo ......" Qian Qianyi choked up, and finally couldn't help crying.
Zhu Yousong was taken aback, sat down on the ground, howled and cried, everyone was shocked; after a while, Zhu Yousong came to his senses, he stood up, smashed the crickets in the wooden jar to the outside, and scolded: "Five horses divide the corpse! Five horses divide the corpse!" The two crickets rolled out and spasmed twice and died, so frightened that the palace maids on both sides of the gate hurriedly knelt down.
"Aiqing, I know your hard work! I have my own plans! You are old, you can go back first!" Zhu Yousong shook his sleeves with his back to Qian Qianyi and waved his hand.
"Retire!" Qian Qianyi retreated while wiping away his tears.
After Qian Qianyi left, Zhu Yousong looked up at the tall beams and said with a smile: "Two great gods, come down!" Xiao Weizi also looked up curiously.
When I saw him, I thought of my past self! How similar we are! People in the world always like to fall into the well and make things worse, but they are always hypocritical. Zao Wou-Ki, who was standing on the beam, said and jumped down from the beam with Hua Gu.
"Thank God for bless me Daming, I can still meet two masters when the old Zhu and I rivers are down, I didn't expect us to hit it off at first sight! God bless me Daming!" Zhu Yousong patted Zhao Wouji on the shoulder and said, "The two of you also heard it just now, old Qian, he is straightforward and fast-talking, he is warm-hearted, he is not bad, let him live." At the beginning, it was Ma Shiying, Gao Jie and others who supported me, set me up, brought disaster to the country and the people, and made a fortune for the country, and I can't wait to divide their bodies every day! You help me eradicate them and defend Nanming, and you will be my protector general in the future!"
"Understood, Your Majesty!" Zhao Wou-Ki said to Hua Gu, stepped back, and hurried straight to Ma Shiying's mansion.
"Roar, shout, cheer, everyone sing, dance!" Zhu Yousong shouted as he pulled Xiao Weizi and the palace maids to dance, sing and dance. The Tianshan jade bone fireflies accompanied by Hua Gu also danced and sang with everyone:
Come, come, come! Let's sing together!
Come, come, come! Let's dance!
No more sorrow, no more troubles!
Give up, give up, it's no big deal!
Life goes on, life is still beautiful!
Let go and let go, nothing can be forgotten!
Wipe away your tears and run, my heart is still burning!
You have your pride, I have my fat waist,
Disdainful, scatter as soon as you say, I'm still free!
You have your happiness, I have my beauty,
Don't force it, fate gathers and scatters, I will always smile!
Your contempt today, my pride tomorrow!
Don't laugh too soon, you can't understand my happiness!
......
These Tianshan jade bone fireflies glow green fluorescence, bringing everyone a touch of charm and mystery in the dance floor of the golden hall, this magical song attracts General Sun Kewang sent by the Great Western Army to lobby in the back garden, and attracts the soldiers guarding outside the door, they put down their weapons or things and jump into the dance floor, some walk catwalks, some perform space walks, and some show front flips and backflips...... Fireflies, reptiles, and ants in the garden outside the hall also danced with the song and the beat, everyone was immersed in a sea of bright green, and there was a beautiful song flowing around them, Zhu Yousong and the soldiers, palace maids, eunuchs, and General Sun Kewang held hands together, there was no distinction between high and low, as if entering another wonderful music palace.
On Ma Shiying's house, Ma Shiying, Gao Jie, and Ma Hui were happily eating hot pot, talking and laughing.
"Come! Ma Ye, I respect you! I want Cao Cao to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and now Ma Ye coerces the Fu King to order Nanming! Hahaha...... It's still the capital lord's chess master!" Gao Jie raised his glass and smiled and toasted Ma Shiying.
"Master Ma, I also respect you! hehehe...... In the future, I will learn more from Ma Ye, and I hope that Ma Ye will be promoted more!
"Hahaha...... Brothers, please!please!" Ma Shiying said with a smile, and the three of them drank it all.
"What is this?" As soon as Gao Jie opened his mouth, several flower spores suddenly flew in, and before he could react, the flower spores had already rolled into his abdomen.
"Me too, something flew in?Phew!Bah......" Ma Hui spat in horror, but couldn't spit out.
"Two virtuous brothers, but there are insects flying in?" Ma Shiying patted the two of them on the back and looked around, "Strange!
Zao Wou-Ki quickly chanted a mantra in his mouth: "Amitayus Flower, take root and sprout! Periwinkle Hair, I am the lord of the world!" Gao Jie and Ma Hui's stomachs began to swell, their bodies began to twitch and stiffen, slowly foaming at the mouth, their eyes turned out, their whole body stiffened, and several Lingxiao flower vines from their noses, mouths, ears, The top of the head was bloody, and a few blood-dripping Lingxiao flowers bloomed on the vines, the more bloodthirsty the Lingxiao flower vines became, the taller they grew, and they were lifted into the air by the tall Lingxiao flower vines, and the vines that sucked blood grew higher and higher, directly piercing the roof. Gao Jie and Ma Hui hung in the air and continued to drip blood, and the whole house seemed to rain blood, and the blood flowed on the ground instantly. Ma Shiying was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, and saw Zao Wou-Ki striding into the door with a Lingxiao flower, Ma Shiying's face was blue, trembling, holding a cup of tea, and crying: "Uncle, great god, I don't know where the contemptible person offended you! Come, have a cup of tea...... Let off steam. I have 10,000 taels of gold at home, and there are countless antique calligraphy and paintings, just take whatever you want, take it......"
Zhao Wou-Ki stretched out a Lingxiao flower vine from his sleeve, stretched it into the cup, drained the cup of tea, Zhao Wou-Ki turned his head to look at the flower girl sitting on the door of Ma Shiying's mansion and smiled: "Lady, I'll replenish my vitality first!" "Don't worry, Xianggong, the outside is all cleaned up!" Hua Gu sat on the door of Ma Shiying's mansion and shook her legs and smiled.
At this moment, Ma Shiying pulled out his saber and slashed at Zao Wou-Ki unexpectedly, but he didn't expect Ma Shiying's sword to be tightly entangled by a Lingxiao flower vine in an instant, and Ma Shiying pulled it hard, but he couldn't pull it out.
"You dare to kill Lao Tzu?!" Zao Wou-Ki said, smashing the teacup with a "snap" of the Lingxiao Flower vine.
"Don't dare, don't dare! God spare!" Ma Shiying panicked, suddenly slipped his foot, fell to the ground, he supported his hands to support his body, held the corner of the table and slowly got up, his hands were full of blood, he wanted to vomit, but he swallowed back because he was afraid. Ma Shiying raised his head slightly, stared at Zhao Wouji carefully, and his lower body stretched out countless Lingxiao flower vines like an octopus, instantly frightened his pants wet, Ma Shiying pretended to be calm and cleared his throat, coughed, and shouted solemnly: "Hero, I am the lord of the capital of Nanming, the big celebrity around the emperor, you can be an official! No matter how big an official you are! Please let the hero let me go, I will protect you for a lifetime of glory and wealth! I will ensure that you eat and drink spicy food every day!" After that, Ma Shiying glanced at the hot pot on the table and swallowed his saliva.
"The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die! Go all the way!" Zhao Wouji said, a Lingxiao flower vine quickly wrapped around Ma Shiying, throwing him high into the air, before Ma Shiying fell to the ground with an "ah", the Lingxiao flower vine pierced his stomach and stuck it on the ground, Zao Wou-Ki began to suck Ma Shiying's essence blood, he stretched out a Lingxiao flower vine from his mouth, straight into Ma Shiying's mouth, drilled into his stomach and sucked his internal organs, Ma Shiying's body twitched a few times, and soon turned into a dry corpse and fell to the ground.
At this moment, a team of soldiers who came to pick up Gao Jie and returned to his house rushed to Ma Shiying's mansion, and saw that Mafu had become a netherworld mansion, full of corpses and rivers of blood, which made the dozen or so soldiers tremble, and they all got on their horses and prepared to escape.
Hua Gu immediately pulled out two Lingxiao flower vines from her body and drew them over, and they instantly split into two, and several people disappeared into the night on horseback. Hua Gu quickly took out the jade flute from her arms, and under the cover of a bleak serenade, dozens of bats followed the sound of horses' hooves to prey on all the fish that had slipped through the net. At this point, Ma Shiying's remaining party was completely eradicated by Zhu Yousong.
"Emperor Qi, General Sun Kewang of the Great Western Army has returned to Chengdu. Xiao Wei Zi reported.
"Got it, let's go, let's go! It's time for us to go. Nanming was destroyed in the hands of Ma Shiying and others, but unfortunately the world thought that it was smashed in my hands, and I was sad! Woo woo woo ......" Zhu Yousong said with grief.
"Your Majesty, then you mean we don't want Jinling anymore?" Xiao Weizi said in surprise.
"General Shi is gone, it's getting dark, what are you waiting for the sun? Let's leave tomorrow too!" Zhu Yousong shook his sleeves and said, returned to the dormitory, and packed his luggage with his princess and concubine Zhou.
"It's still bright, it's not dark. Xiao Weizi said as he looked at the sky outside the hall.
Dolgon's march camp in Yangzhou, Dolgon listened to Dolgon's account of his attack on the west gate of Yangzhou City by the master of Meiwuqin, fell into deep thought, and suddenly I slapped the table and said: "Third brother, I remember, when my father Khan was defeated in Youzhou and died, my father Khan's 36 Tiangang was also killed, and legend has it that she was also a woman who played the piano at that time, could it be that this person is our father's killer? Do you remember his appearance? Quickly find a painter to come over and paint a portrait!"
"Second brother, there was wind and sand at that time, and I can't remember it now. I investigated, according to the report of the Yangzhou troops, that person's name is Dugu Shanglian, and he belongs to a Jianghu sect called Zhuxian faction, I asked the mage, and the mage knew this person. Dodor replied.
"That's good! By the way, Pisces Jade Pei has a clue?! After taking Yangzhou, I have ordered Hao Ge to order 20 red-clothed cannons and lead 100,000 Eight Banner soldiers to encircle and annihilate Zhang Xianzhong! Hahaha...... We'll be able to get our hands on it soon!" Dolgon said with a sip of tea.
"This ...... No news yet, I've been checking it out!" Doduo said.
"Okay! Yangzhou has been broken, if you conquer Nanjing, you have to hurry!" Dolgon patted Duoduo on the shoulder.
Second brother, I received a collection of Jiangnan poems yesterday, called "Poetic Tianya", and I felt that the poems in it were beautiful in style, and there were hundreds of volumes of heroic poems, taking Nanjing, which we are now besieging the city, for example, there is also a poem "Short Song Xing Jinling" mentioned in it!" Duoduo took out a collection of poems and said with a smile.
"Oh, listen to it!" said Dolgon, laughing.
Longzang Pushui, Imperial State Guard,
Tiangong Zhong Yu, overlord Jinling.
Sending slaves to fierce ambitions, the four seas are one,
Song Qi Liang Chen, Chinese Dragon Yin.
Caifang has a waist, curvaceous and delicate,
The night song Qin Huai, the hip is slightly smoky.
Qingxi Fandai, Wu Nong Bomei,
Qin Huai Bayan, artistic pleasure.
Talented and beautiful, the morning sun is singing,
* Flowers bloom, Yu Ji is injured.
Ten miles of smoke willows, Sanskrit sound of the Southern Dynasty,
At the mouth of Wuyi Lane, the sunset is a thousand autumns.
Oriental slaughter of the city, national hatred and family hatred,
The whole country is sad and indignant, and it is forging ahead.
The crowd is high-level, and the king's spirit is rekindled,
Zhongshan is ambitious, and he is a relative of the heavens.
"Well, this poem is really beautiful, magnificent and magnificent! But there is a piece for the second brother to see on the way back to Beijing? I will leave for Beijing tomorrow, and the Jiangnan side will be handed over to you!" Dolgon also said with interest.
"Also, I'll give you this poetry book first!" said Dodor, laughing.
"Thank you, third brother!" said Dolgon, who brushed away with the book of poems.
When the city of Nanjing was approached by the Qing army, Liu Ru took Qian Qianyi to the West Lake on a cruise ship, the moon and stars were sparse at night, the breeze was warm, the West Lake was silent, Liu Ru looked at the lake, with a sad face, she raised her wine glass and drank a few glasses with Qian Qianyi.
Liu Ru burned a wisp of sandalwood, the incense mist curled, the moonlight was bright, Liu Ru was facing the water of the West Lake, gently fluctuating the strings, and sang her music "Jin Mingchi • Yonghan Willow":
There is a cold wave, ruthless residual photos, it is Xiao Xiao Nanpu.
More blowing, frost stripes lonely shadows, remember, the old time flying flocculents.
In the evening, the smoke and waves are slanting, and when I see the travelers, I specially thin my waist like a dance.
There is always a kind of desolation, very haggard, and there are still good sentences of Yantai.
Spring makes autumn rain. Thinking of the past, the secret wound is like a promise.
Indulgently, around the embankment to draw boats, cold out, water clouds are still there.
Recalling the past, a little east wind, a few heavy curtains, and sad eyebrows.
Wait for an appointment with a plum soul, the dusk and the moon are light, and whisper to Yi Shen.
At the end of the song, the West Lake became even cooler, Qian Qianyi also fell into memories, Liu Ru smiled lightly: "Xianggong, you and I knew each other back then, I said, I don't marry someone who is as good as Qian Qianyi in my life." You say, there is such a lovely woman in the world? I don't marry someone who is as good as writing poetry like Liu. The mountains and rivers are happy to meet, and we tie the knot. ”
"Hehehe...... In this life, we will stay together and never give up. Qian Qianyi looked at the West Lake and said.
I heard that Chen Zilong resolutely threw himself into the water and died after he was captured in Taihu Lake to gather troops and horses to resist the Qing Dynasty. Li waited for an unsuccessful attempt to hang himself, and although he was rescued, he still refused to surrender, and finally died generously...... Why don't we go to the lake together tonight, okay?" Liu Ru put down the wine glass, took Qian Qianyi's hand and smiled, Liu Ru's slightly drunk cheeks were flushed, revealing a blurry style in the bright moonlight.
Qian Qianyi was silent, looking at the cold lake and the cold moonlight, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and then looked at his favorite woman Liu Ruyi, he couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Liu Ruyi's hair, and said with a faint smile: "Madam, I understand your intentions...... I also hope to be like Qu Yuan, throw himself into the water and commit suicide, and end up forever. ”
"Since Xianggong is like this, then let's jump down together!" With that, Liu Ru stood up and pulled Qian Qianyi.
"Madame, don't worry, it's not too late for me to test the temperature of the water. After that, Qian Qianyi stood up, walked to the side of the boat, squatted down, put his hand into the water and paddled the water, looked at Liu Ru nervously and said, "Madam, this water is too cold, I really can't go down." Why don't we jump another day?" said Qian Qianyi, who walked over and hugged Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ru pushed Qian Qianyi away, and said angrily: "Hmph! You just can't bear to die!" Fortunately, Liu Ru was rescued and did not die.
After being rescued, Liu Ru smiled and said: "Vientiane world, this world is full of desolate scenes, unintentional, fame and fortune, I will give them up one by one." Impermanence accompanies you, you and I will never be perfect, I know that one day I will end up with you on the same path, why bother to remember today. The years are desolate to the bone, and for whom will they stop? The heart is blank, the grass and trees are quiet, I might as well reunite with the words for the rest of my life. Wake up in the morning and evening, keep the joys and sorrows, keep the time like a bottle, leave a lot of troubles, and go simply. Even if my life is about to end in the future, it will not be in vain for me to come to this world to practice. ”
"What do you mean, madam, are you saying goodbye to me?" Qian Qianyi asked nervously while holding Liu Ruye's hand.
"Xianggong, some people say that when you see a deer in the depths of the forest, you see a whale when the sea is blue, and you when you wake up in a dream. But I, when the trees are deep, the fog rises, when the sea is deep, and when I wake up from my dreams, the night continues, and I don't see deer, I don't see whales, and I don't see you. I don't think you're the one I've been looking for all my life. In fact, I understand that you can't let go of your career in your heart, and you will go to Beijing in the future, and I will not see each other again when you go to Beijing and I am in Nanjing. With that, Liu got up and left.
"Madam, Madam......" Qian Qianyi reluctantly called out, watching Liu Ru leave.
Kong Youde led tens of thousands of Qing troops all the way to the ground, and when the troops approached the city of Nanjing, there were not many fierce encounters, and the Nanjing defenders opened the door and surrendered. Zhu Yousong didn't care about the others, so he hurriedly took a few people around him and fled in a hurry, all the way to Wuhu. Seeing that King Fu was gone, Zao Wou-Ki and Hua Gu left halfway and no longer waded into the muddy waters. The Wuhu guard is none other than Huang Degong, one of the four towns in Jiangbei who has made meritorious contributions, and he still knows nothing about the changes in the capital.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Your Majesty, why did you suddenly come to Wuhu without saying hello in advance?" Huang Degong saw the Son of Heaven, and quickly knelt down and said in fear.
"Aiqing, let's get even! Before my ass was hot in Nanjing, the Tartar cannon bombarded me. Thinking that you really supported me in the past, I ran over directly! Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying were all killed in battle...... Woo woo woo ...... "After that, Zhu Yousong hugged Huang Degong and cried bitterly.
"Your Majesty, rest assured! As long as I am still here, I will be loyal to the end and swear to protect me to the death!" Huang Degong hugged his fist. When Huang Degong knew that Zhu Yousong was at a loss and abandoned the capital, he was overwhelmed with emotion in his heart and decided to repay the country with death. But Huang Degong's two generals, Tian Xiong and Ma Degong, scoffed at this mediocre and incompetent Fu King.
Soon after Kong Youde attacked Nanjing, Zhao Zhilong, Wang Feng, Qian Qianyi and others opened the door to surrender Nanjing, heard that Zhu Yousong had escaped, and immediately sent troops to pursue, and the Qing pursuers fought fiercely with Huang Degong for two rounds, and Huang Degong suffered heavy casualties. After Tian Xiong and Ma Degong discussed, they wrote a letter of surrender and sent it to Kong Youde. Kong Youde, Tian Xiong, and Ma Degong should join forces with the outside world and capture Wuhu.
"Tian Xiong, despicable villain, you dare to betray me!" Huang Degong said sadly and angrily while holding his arrows. Tian Xiong's soldiers raised halberds to besiege him, and Huang Degong drew his sword and killed himself.
"General Huang, it was the widow who harmed you! The widow shouldn't have come to Wuhu! Woo woo woo ......," Zhu Yousong wept bitterly.
"Emperor Hongguang! I think you should call Emperor Huiguang back, return to the light!hahaha......" Tian Xiong grabbed Zhu Yousong and laughed.
"Tian Xiong, you are a traitor! No one will let you go if you are a ghost!" Zhu Yousong roared and bit Tian Xiong's ear, Tian Xiong's ear was bloody, and his clothes soon turned red. Tian Xiong kicked Zhu Yousong in the stomach before unraveling it.
Subsequently, Tian Xiong dedicated Zhu Yousong to the Qing army to invite merit, and Zhu Yousong was escorted to Beijing, and the Hongguang regime was overthrown.
"Zhu Yousong, Zhu Yousong, if you have the slightest bit of your ancestor's wisdom, why do you have to do this? Why do you have to resist my Qing Dynasty? Do you also want to learn from Zhao Gou and take a corner of peace? Or do you want to learn from Liu Chan because he doesn't need to take care of things at all, there is a Zhuge Liang in Shu who has done his best and died to take care of all the military affairs for him, what do you Zhu Yousong have in your hands? Your Ma Shiying, who has brought disaster to the country and the people, is not even as good as one of Zhuge Liang's toes, and it consumes so many troops and time from me! You deserve to die, you!" Dolgon scolded as he waved his knife in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and pointed at Zhu Yousong, who was huddled in a corner of the cell.
"Lord Regent, spare your life! Don't kill me! Don't kill me......" Zhu Yousong crawled on the ground and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
"Death by Ling Chi!" said Dolgon, flicking his sleeves away.
After the execution was ordered, the executioner first cut off a piece of meat on Zhu Yousong's anterior major muscle and threw it to the sky, shouting: "Sacrifice the meat to the sky"; Ah!!", Zhu Yousong fainted in pain.
Then, the executioner cut the flesh and skin on Zhu Yousong's head, split the piece of flesh in two, pulled it down to cover Zhu Yousong's two eyes, and shouted: "Blindfold!" "Ahh
There was a group of spectators around the entrance of the vegetable market, and everyone pointed and discussed:
"This is the faint king of the Ming Dynasty? Didn't you hear that he was hanged in the coal mountain?"
"These faint kings will die forever! I don't believe you, there will be more next year!"
"This Ling Chi execution, commonly known as a thousand knives, is also called eight knives punishment, and it can also be cut with thousands of knives. It is to slowly cut off the heinous criminals, slowly*. Look, the blood is flowing and it's miserable. ”
"Why do you want to cover your eyes?"
"Cover the eyes, in order to prevent the prisoner from looking at the executioner, and to prevent the prisoner from radiating an unusually cold and frightened gaze when he is in extreme pain, which will make the executioner's heart flustered and affect the execution. ”
The executioner took a basket of numbered sharp knives and slowly cut Zhu Yousong: the first knife cut the chest (starting from the left side, and the same applies to the rest of the following parts), the second knife cut the biceps, the third knife cut the thigh, the fourth and fifth knives cut the arm to the elbow, the sixth and seventh knives cut the calf to the knee, and the eighth knife cut the head of the owl. In a burst of miserable screams, Zhu Yousong was pale, sweating profusely, and was hurt to death. The remains of Zhu Yousong's dismembered body were put into a basket, and the head was publicly displayed. His body was later transported to Henan and buried in Dongshantou Village, Mengjin, Luoyang, Henan.
