Volume 1 Chapter 4: The Mob
Ling Jingyang didn't want to withdraw immediately, he wanted to let all the soldiers of the Shun army die, so as to protect Chongzhen's safety to the greatest extent.
The old Shun army and the new Shun army battle quickly divided the winner, the new Shun army soldiers were originally the Ming border army, after getting supplies, the combat effectiveness doubled, although the old Shun army was born in mud legs, but after years of fighting, also grew into a standard professional soldier.
The knives of the two sides were fatal, and the Xinshun army took the lead in a sneak attack, and with an absolute advantage, it only took five seconds to eliminate the remaining old Shun army, and the Xinshun army did not die a single person.
After the battle, seeing that Ling Jingyang and the others were still in the same place, the four of them didn't mention how excited they were, in their eyes, the four of them shared ten thousand taels of gold equally, but they were rich enough to rival the country.
Ling Jingyang was engrossed, dozens of tactics with one enemy and four flashed in his mind, these are the skills taught to him by the top killer in the future, at the cost of half his life savings, he burst out, the lancet actually flew out, nailed to the forehead of a Shunjun soldier with tricky strength, and then another roundabout kick, another Shunjun soldier was kicked in the neck, and his head was suddenly tilted to the side, obviously the neck was kicked off.
The remaining two soldiers also experienced the greetings from the future killer for the first time, and both of them were afraid that Ling Jingyang would work his legs, so they attacked Ling Jingyang's thighs with bloody broadswords.
This is exactly what Ling Jingyang wanted to see, when the big knife slashed to the thigh, he used all his strength to resist a big knife that slashed to the thigh with the scabbard, and then let the big knife slide to the other side, another Shunjun soldier was obviously also a veteran, and the big knife suddenly went up, wanting to disembowel Ling Jingyang from the bottom up.
Chongzhen and Wang Chengen both closed their eyes, not daring to look at the tragic situation of Ling Jingyang's intestines flowing all over the ground, but in the end, it was Ling Jingyang who turned over and dodged this fatal blow.
The attack of the two Shun soldiers did not succeed, and Ling Jingyang's attack broke out again, this time he chose to end the fight with his fists, and before he could continue the fight, the two Shun soldiers took a step back, dodging Ling Jingyang's sharp legs.
The two Shunjun soldiers looked at each other, and they both felt that they couldn't kill Ling Jingyang, but as long as they killed Ling Jingyang, the ten thousand taels of gold would be theirs, and under the temptation of gold, they would finally kill them again.
Ling Jingyang watched the pace of the two attack, and suddenly a catapult, his physical fitness was very good, and his explosive power was strong, he actually rushed to the left side of the two Shunjun soldiers, flew up, and kicked a Shunjun soldier in the left waist, and the Shunjun soldier suddenly heard a click, and his waist bone was broken.
His body blocked the attack direction of another Shun soldier, and he couldn't kill Ling Jingyang at the first time, this Dashun soldier was in a hurry, and the remaining Shun soldiers actually used a big knife to cut down on the right waist of his companion, this poor Shun soldier, his left waist was kicked off, and his right waist was cut down by his companion, which was heartbreaking.
It was also the first time that Ling Jingyang had seen the sinister hearts of people, and he rushed forward, using his inertia to push the chin of the last soldier of the Shun army into pieces with his flying knee.
Seeing this, Wang Chengen quickly picked up a big knife from the ground, clicked twice, and hacked the two Shun soldiers to death.
Although Wang Chengen is a eunuch, he is also a decisive and ruthless person, mending the soldiers on the ground one by one, and resolutely not letting anyone know the whereabouts of His Majesty, Chongzhen is also the first time to see this heartfelt servant, and he has such a ruthless side.
Ling Jingyang squatted on the ground, he changed into the clothes of the soldiers of the Dashun Army many times, and finally held back this thought, after all, the Dashun Army is an organized army, although it absorbs a lot of surrendered troops, but it is also a soldier who knows the general, and the general also knows the soldier.
Changing into the clothes of the soldiers of the Shun army, I don't know where to go, there are still many civil and military ministers in the capital, and even many soldiers know Chongzhen, he decisively overturned the previous plan to surrender directly, and Chongzhen said: "It's just a group of people who forget their righteousness, you follow me, with me, you won't die in front of me." ”
Chongzhen went with the flow, he did whatever Ling Jingyang asked him to do, anyway, a dead horse was a live horse doctor, Wang Chengen couldn't help but admire Ling Jingyang, and rose up with a glimmer of hope to live.
The three of them drilled around in the alley, and finally came to the door of a large family, which was the residence of Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War.
Zhang Jinyan opened the city gate this morning to welcome the Shun army into the city, Chongzhen didn't know that it was his military department Shangshu who opened the city gate to welcome the Dashun army into the city, but Ling Jingyang knew, but he didn't know that this was Zhang Jinyan's house, and Chongzhen said: "Our flying fish suits are very conspicuous, and we have to change into ordinary people's clothes." ”
"Aiqing, this is the house of Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, not to mention that Zhang Shangshu is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and there are many soldiers in the mansion, if you go in alone, won't you be sent to death?"
Ling Jingyang's eyes widened suddenly.
Zhang Jinyan? Isn't this person who opened the city gate and let the Dashun army enter the capital almost without casualties, this person is a traitor, surrendered to Dashun, and then surrendered to the Qing army, and got rid of the three family slaves, he sneered and Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know who opened the city gate, right?" ”
Chongzhen figured out from Ling Jingyang's tone that it was Zhang Jinyan who opened the city gate, and Ling Jingyang then told him that not only Zhang Jinyan, but also his cabinet minister Wei Dezao, the two of them took the lead in surrendering Li Zicheng.
Chongzhen was speechless, a cabinet chief assistant, and a military secretary, this is a minister of the humerus, and he didn't make a single shot, almost bloodless and dedicated the capital to Li Zicheng, which made him hate and angry, and almost fainted.
"Your Majesty, let's stay in Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, I don't care about a few soldiers in this mansion, please come in with me and find a few suitable clothes to change into."
After finishing speaking, Ling Jingyang kicked open the door of Zhang Jinyan's house, and there were several servants inside, who were obeying Zhang Jinyan's order, meditating at home, and not being arrogant, so as not to be burned to death by the Shun army.
Suddenly, the door was kicked open, and a Jinyi Wei with a lancet in his hand and bloodstains walked in, and the servant was a little afraid, although the Ming Dynasty was gone, but Jinyi Wei still saw a bloody soldier, and one person could kill the mansion with a river of blood.
There are also Chongzhen and Wang Chengen, two bitter gourd faces in the back, especially Wang Chengen, holding a three-eyed gun, eager to kill the mansion to the bottom, and reinvigorating also hated Zhang Jinyan for surrendering, before Ling Jingyang entered the mansion, he also picked up a knife, squinted at the mansion and looked at the people in the mansion, and dozens of people in the entire Zhang Mansion were silent.
Wang Chengen held a three-eyed gun, pointed to a few servants who were similar to the three of them, and said, "You guys, take off your clothes." ”
Ling Jingyang winked with Wang Chengen again, Wang Chengen understood what Ling Jingyang meant, and continued to roar: "The family's silver is also contributed, if you don't give it to King Chuang, there will be no corpse." ”
Chongzhen wanted to reprimand Wang Chengen angrily, at this time, why did he still want silver, but suddenly thought that this was Zhang Jinyan's house, Zhang Jinyan abandoned Daming and asked him to order silver, what is it.
So he also carried a big knife and pointed at the servant closest to him, and made a gesture to cut it, so frightened that the servant quickly knelt on the ground, and Zhang Jinyan's family hurriedly brought five hundred taels of silver and asked these rebels to leave quickly.
Over there, Wang Chengen had already brought his clothes, and Ling Jingyang looked at Zhang Jinyan's mansion, this is the book of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no guard force in the mansion, this Ming Dynasty is really lost in the capital.
Chongzhen was also angry with Zhang Jinyan, and in vain he still did the thing of a second minister, he suddenly aroused a strong desire to survive, and desperately hoped that Ling Jingyang would take him out of the capital, go to Ying Tianfu to ascend the throne, form a defense line and army in the south of the Yangtze River, and continue to compete with the Dashun army and the Qing army for the world.
After the three of them came out of Zhang's mansion, they changed into three civilian clothes, Ling Jingyang asked Chongzhen, Wang Chengen threw away the big knife and the three-eyed gun, and the two of them thought about it, and according to Ling Jingyang's meaning, they threw the big knife and the three-eyed gun aside.
Ling Jingyang brainstormed again, the most dangerous place is the safest place, the Dashun army is now the master of the capital, the Dashun army camp is the safest place, surrendering the Dashun army as a Ming official army is obviously inappropriate, but joining the Dashun army as a common man, wouldn't there be a better way out?
At this time, the order of the capital has not been completely restored, there are still rebels and rioters looting, and some of the Dashun army are suppressing the mob, Ling Jingyang smiled at the corner of his mouth, and Chongzhen and Wang Chengen said: "We follow the Dashun army to suppress the mob." ”
Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, a group of robbers and thugs took advantage of the fire, and they killed them, and they didn't feel heartache.
So the three of them hid in a house and watched, there were too many rioters on the street, and more people were killed by the mobs, the three of them saw the right time, followed behind a group of rioters who were smashing, looting, and burning, and sure enough, soon after, a group of soldiers of the Dashun Army rushed over with weapons to suppress.
Ling Jingyang hid behind and shouted.
"The mob wants to kill the king, and they also ask the heavenly soldiers to kill the thugs and protect the king."
The soldiers of the Dashun army are all following the king of Chuang Li Zicheng to fight in the south and the north, and they are very supportive of Li Zicheng, and they are very supportive of Li Zicheng, and they are furious when they hear that there are thugs who want to murder the king of Chuang, and hundreds of soldiers are killed by the thugs, and the thugs are all some rags.
Ling Jingyang had already seen a mob leader who took the lead in killing people, who was the most ferocious when robbing, and the Dashun army came to suppress it, and he also killed a Dashun army soldier, and the ferocity can be seen one or two.
The leader of the mob ran to the east side of the alley, listening to Jingyang and Chongzhen, Wang Chengen made a look, and the three of them immediately rushed into the alley, and the leader of the mob had fifty taels of silver in his arms, which was the bloody silver he had robbed of by killing a family of five in one go, and he wanted to take the silver home and continue to spend all day drinking and shopping in the kiln.
