Chapter 866

It was only at this time that the people around discovered the dagger on Tan You's chest and abdomen, and they understood that Song Nan had launched a fatal blow the moment he was knocked away.

"Still not stopping? Tan You is dead, do you all have to die with him? Song Nan shouted coldly.

Wanzhi Wang Yong also shouted in unison: "Put down your blade and squat on the ground with your head in your hands, otherwise you will be killed." ”

The foreign soldiers were shocked to hear that Tan You was killed by Song Nan, where is there still half a point of fighting spirit, plus they already know the news of the breaking of Zhengyangmen, and the battle just now in Yongdao was also killed by the Jinyi guards, and there was no reason to persist at this time, some people began to throw down their weapons, and squatted on the ground with their heads and necks in their hands; Someone took the lead, and immediately the rest of the people followed suit, and the sound of the blade falling to the ground was endless.

Suddenly, two thousand households of the foreign army suddenly turned around and rushed towards the outside of the Daming Gate, they are the generals of the army, the soldiers surrender and can live, but they have little chance, so the thirty-six plans are the best; Wang Yong tore open his coat with a loud sound, revealing a small body full of flying knives, raised his foot and stepped on the head of a descending pawn, jumped into the air, and the flying knives in his hands shot out in succession, and the two thousand households flew knives in their hearts, and after running a few steps, they squirmed on the ground. Several Jinyi guards rushed up and killed the two of them with knives.

"My lord, are you hurt?" Wan Zhi stepped forward to support Song Nan.

Song Nan frowned and said: "This fist is very heavy, this punch almost broke my shoulder bone, and this half arm is afraid that it will not be able to recover in ten days and half a month." ”

Wan Zhi reached out and checked Song Nan's shoulder uneasily, confirming that there was no dislocated bone and no fragmentation, so he was relieved. Wang Yong said with a smile: "The adult is good at martial arts, Tan You used to be known as the number one brave person among the heroes, and now this title is probably going to be replaced." ”

Song Nan looked at Tan You's corpse and sighed lightly: "Yongwu is indeed brave, in terms of strength alone, I am afraid that the two of you are not as good as him, but you just don't have any brains." kept saying that he didn't have a chance to give him, but he ignored giving him a chance, and ruined his family in vain. ”

Wan Zhi said: "You can't live if you do your own evil, since he died in the hands of adults, the people in his house can't stay." ”

Song Nan was silent, he knew what Wan Zhi meant, that was to prevent Tan You's descendants from hating Song Nan, and there might be troubles in the future. Song Nan is inconvenient to say anything, this era is so cruel, like Tan You's situation, it is normal for the men in the family to rob the house and behead, and the women to be slaves and maids in the Huanfang of the teaching workshop, and it is also stipulated by the laws of the Ming Dynasty, not that he insists on eradicating the grass.

"Wan Zhi led a thousand men to clean the battlefield, guard the prisoners, and strictly guard the palace; Wang Yong followed me out of the palace to attack the back of Zhengyangmen, and I am afraid that the battle at Zhengyangmen is already in full swing, and we must help the British Duke. ”

"Yes."

Wan Zhi Wang Yong quickly reorganized the ranks, more than 3,000 banner schools were killed and wounded as many as 20 percent, and the cruelty of the hand-to-hand encounters in the Yongdao just now can be seen, and in just a short meal time, six or seven hundred people were killed and wounded. Song Nan also bandaged and fixed the swollen bruise on his left shoulder with a bandage, and with an embroidered spring knife in one hand, he rushed out of Daming Gate and came to the square in front of the palace with a murderous attitude.

In the distance ahead, the sound of firelight killing was still dense, but suddenly there was a dense sound of footsteps in front of him, and hundreds of black shadows rushed over under the light of the firelight, and Wang Yong hurriedly shouted: "Meet the enemy." ”

The brocade guards were busy holding their swords and waiting for them, but they heard the woman's coquettish voice from the opposite side: "Husband, husband, but you?" ”

Song Nan was overjoyed, and promised loudly to greet him.

The little county lord and Ye Fanggu appeared at the south end of Damingmen Square, both of them holding blades in their hands, and the short sword in Ye Fanggu's hand was still stained with blood, obviously after some killing; When he saw Song Nan's figure running quickly, the little county lord shouted, threw away the long sword in his hand, and rushed over, jumping into Song Nan's arms in front of everyone's eyes.

"Husband, husband." The little county lord whimpered, and hot tears flowed into Song Nan's neck, making it hot and sticky.

Song Nan put one arm around the little county lord and said with a smile: "Duchess of the dignified country, how can this look like this, everyone looks at it." ”

The little county lord raised his head and shouted: "It's all you who worry us, we are not allowed to look at it, whoever looks at me again invites him to eat the whip." ”

Wang Yong, Sun Xuanhou, Dabiao and others coughed to hide their faces, and bowed their heads to avoid them; Song Nan shook his head with a wry smile, saw Ye Fanggu standing aside with a smile, and said with a smile: "Won't Aunt Fang come and hug her?" ”

Ye Fanggu took a sip with a red face, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the tightly wrapped thing on Song Nan's shoulder, and exclaimed, "What's wrong with your shoulder?" Hurt? ”

Hearing this, the little county lord hurriedly looked at Song Nan's shoulder, but saw that the densely wrapped bandage fixed Song Nan's half arm around his neck and hung it, obviously the injury was not light.

"It's okay, I was injured in the fight just now, but I didn't hurt my bones, and I will be able to raise it in a few days." Song Nan said nonchalantly.

The little county lord stomped his feet in remorse, and just now he pounced on himself, and hammered and hit with his hand, and the shoulder injury did not know how many times, it must have hurt to death, this red-skinned dog actually didn't say a word, but he could bear it.

Song Nan looked at the fire in the south and shouted murderously, "How is the situation in Zhengyangmen?" Look at this is a breakthrough, otherwise you would not have rushed over. ”

Ye Fanggu checked Song Nan's injuries, nodded and said, "Yes, the city wall has been broken, and after the defeat of the foreign army, Grandpa Zhang is leading the regimental battalion to clear the remnants of the soldiers and horses." We came directly to pick you up, but I didn't expect you to be out of danger. ”

Song Nan nodded and praised: "Uncle brother is very capable, this time it can be regarded as proving his ability, the Zhengyangmen city wall is extremely thick, I thought that my uncle would not be able to attack it without spending three or two days, but I didn't expect him to make a contribution in half a day." ”

Ye Fanggu opened her mouth to speak, but Song Nan didn't notice her expression, and said excitedly: "Let's go over quickly, we can't let Yang Tinghe and those rebels take advantage of the chaos to get away." ”

Ye Fanggu said: "I can't run, Lord Yang Yiqing led the regimental battalion and soldiers and horses to dispatch, all the gates of the inner city have been controlled, and they can't escape with their wings." ”

Song Nan was stunned and said, "The other soldiers and horses of the regimental battalion have also been dispatched?" ”

Ye Fanggu nodded and said: "Yes, when the Zhengyangmen city wall was breached, the regimental camp happened to arrive, otherwise it would take a lot of effort for the foreign army to defend the pass." ”

Song Nan sneered: "I said, they arrived as soon as the Zhengyang Gate was broken, but it was a coincidence." All of them are better than monkeys, that's it, let's settle this account later, and go to Zhengyangmen to clean up the mess first. ”

At the time of the second watch, the battle inside and outside the Zhengyang Gate was officially declared over, after the collapse of the city wall, Yang Yiqing and Guo Yongyong two battalions took the Xuanwu Gate and then rushed to the back of the Daming Gate from the west, invariably the other four battalions also came from the east to reinforce, for a time Zhang Lun's remaining regiments and battalions were all counted, plus more than 2,000 soldiers and horses of the Shenji Battalion, there were seven battalions of soldiers and horses, nearly 50,000 people.

The Hou Ye was anti-guest-oriented, but blamed Zhang Lun for not giving them an order, saying that they decided to send troops without an order after a fierce ideological struggle, and also said that when Lord Yang Yiqing went to look for them, they had already had the idea of sending troops, and they had already started to prepare, and finally prepared in a hurry, so that they did not delay the big event.

Zhang Lun knew that he had no time to talk to them, so he ordered them to quickly exterminate the remnants of the enemy, and then led his troops to blockade the whole city, search and arrest the remnants of the rebels, and wait for further instructions. The marquis was full of enthusiasm and bravery, and chased Zhang Wei's defeated remnants into a dog, killing more than 1,000 people, and capturing more than 16,000 soldiers and horses.

On the square behind Zhengyangmen, the ground was full of messes and corpses, and the regimental soldiers and horses cleared a large open space, and the foreign troops were detained here. In the north, Yang Tinghe, Fei Hong, Zhang Wei and others, who were arrested, stood by the bonfire under the supervision of the captain of Jinyiwei; Yang Tinghe's face was haggard, as if he was dozens of years old, and he was originally personable, but now he looked like an old man in his last years. Fei Hong also stood next to him with his head down, Zhang Wei had been bleeding from his arms, and he was wearing the armor of an ordinary soldier, curled up to the side like a deflated three. When he saw a large number of soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp, Zhang Wei knew that the general trend had gone, so he changed the armor of the soldiers with the intention of escaping, but he was unexpectedly betrayed by his generals and was caught by Zhao Dapeng, a thousand households in the Jinyi Guard's fire guard battalion.

The square was gradually cleared, tens of thousands of soldiers began to line up in the square, hundreds of bonfires were lit, and the square was illuminated. On the wall of Zhengyangmen in the back, the black smoke of the pillar of smoke drifted into the dark night sky, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and burning.

Soon after, after escaping from the palace at noon, the civil and military officials who fled back to their homes were dragged out of their homes by the Jinyi Wei Lieutenant, the six Jiuqing Metropolitan Inspectorates and the six section officials came, the remaining two scholars of the cabinet also came, and the governor of Shuntian Mansion, the Yamen master, came, and finally, stepping on the faint blood stains of the Daming Gate, the eunuchs of the inner court came to the eunuchs, and the Empress Dowager Zhang's Luan drove was also under the 'protection' of dozens of Jinyi Wei Han generals.

The imperial relatives and military and political officials of the Ming Dynasty in the capital came, and all the important figures in the heart of the Ming Dynasty gathered in the square behind the Zhengyang Gate. Some of them looked flustered, some were excited, some were silent, and some were indifferent; All kinds of faces were revealed in the light of the campfire.

There was no noise in the square of tens of thousands of people, the scene was a little scary, they were all waiting for someone to appear, that was Song Nan, the Duke of Zhenguo, they were called here, or they were forced to come here, it was also the order of Song Nan, the Duke of Zhenguo, and only he could let them come silently, even if it was the most stinky and hard-tempered official, they did not dare to play personality at this moment.

The sound of horses' hooves, more than a dozen horses galloped, tens of thousands of eyes looked at the direction of the horses, a big black horse sat Song Nan, one hand tied with a bandage, one hand holding a tray, the waist pole straight and straight, without squinting into the door.

Song Nan dismounted, put the tray in his hand on a temporarily arranged incense table, turned around and scanned the audience, all the people in the audience seemed to be stared at by him, and their hearts chuckled, it was a pair of cold eyes with evil spirits, just experienced the battle of the capital rebellion, Zhen Guogong's eyes still had a cold murderous aura.

Song Nan came to the ministers, turned around and saluted to the Empress Dowager Zhang, who was sitting in a daze on Luan's car, and the ministers remembered to salute the Empress Dowager, when the Empress Dowager arrived just now, none of the people remembered to make a big salute to greet them, they were all thinking about tonight's events, thinking about what was going to happen, but they forgot even the most basic etiquette.

Song Nan didn't forget, so he respectfully saluted the Empress Dowager Zhang, and the ministers and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses behind him also saluted, and Yang Tinghe, Zhang Wei, Fei Hong and others also saluted.

After the salute got up, Song Nan turned around, glanced at the audience, and said loudly: "Everyone, I am Song Nan, the prince of Zhenguo, and I am today on the orders of Emperor Daming. Before that, I am saddened to tell you that the emperor has passed away at three o'clock this morning. ”

Most people already know the news, and only a small number of people don't know the news because they are afraid to go out at home because of the chaos in the city, but at this moment, whether they already know it or they don't know it, there is an earth-shattering cry in an instant, some people beat their chests and feet, some people grab the ground with their heads, some people cry, and some people cry silently.

Faced with this situation, Song Nan couldn't help but have rosy eyes, although he knew that some of them were completely acting, but his feelings for Zhengde were real, and he was finally able to calm down the chaos and solemnly announce the matter, Song Nan's heart flashed back to the situation when Zhengde was dying, and he couldn't help but cry.

After a long time, Yang Yiqing wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and got up and said loudly: "Please mourn, I am the emperor of the world, the heaven and the earth change color, the wind and clouds are moved, and the subjects of the whole country are also grieving; But the emperor died, the state affairs were chaotic, and there were rebels as troubles, which made the emperor uneasy. However, at this time, do not indulge in grief, and the affairs of the state mourning, the great affairs of the successor, and the punishment of the rebellious ministers, these things must be carried out at once, and they must not be delayed to the point of social chaos. When the emperor died, Song Nan, the prince of Zhenguo, was on the side, and the emperor personally dictated a copy of the edict, and made arrangements for the government. ”
