Especially Ling Jingyang, who deliberately put the bloody silver on the table, the old steamed bun jumped up and scolded: "This is bloody silver, are you embarrassed to ask for it?" ”

The old army is quite stylish, Ling Jingyang feels that there is no other meaning, after all, the education he received since he was a child, one from the mass army, under constraints, will not go to the army to rob.

The old steamed bun's words made Chongzhen and Wang Chengen's faces hot, the soldiers of the old battalion of the Dashun Army had such strict military discipline, no wonder the officers and soldiers along the way looked down on the wind, no wonder they were repeatedly defeated by the officers and soldiers, but they got together again overnight, and the momentum was even greater than before, and the officers and soldiers who went to suppress the bandits were beaten to the ground.

Lao Mantou used to be a scholar, he was an old talent in the village, he repeatedly rushed to the exam and returned home, and his family became poorer and poorer, and finally he couldn't open the pot, and the local feudal king and the government continued to oppress the people, and in a rage, he turned around.

His road to rebellion is different from other talents, he generally reads and rebels, basically appears as a thinker, the old steamed bun sword goes sideways, and he actually picks up a big blade, starting from an ordinary big-headed soldier, he is never afraid of death on the battlefield, let him fight wherever he wants, never ambiguous, and make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, but because he is upright, he has not been promoted and reused many times.

In a battle last year, he had been promoted to the head of the flag, but because of a small mistake by his superiors in the battle, the post where the old steamed bun was located lost half of the people for no reason, after the battle, the old steamed bun angrily scolded the superior for blind command, was crowned as disobedient to the command of the superior, and was beheaded.

The deputy mighty general Dang Shou thought that he was an old soldier, and deliberately spared his life and forced him to leave the army and go home.

But the old steamed bun was not biased, he thought he had done nothing wrong, refused to leave the army, either killed him, or let him continue to be a soldier and be paid, the party had no choice, so he had to let him go to Zhang Shunbu to support the elderly.

"Throw this money out to me."

The old steamed bun was so angry that he even lifted the big knife and went to the place where the three rogues lived, and wanted to behead the three of them to show the public, although it was a capital crime to rob and kill the people, but it was not the turn of the old steamed bun to act on his behalf.

Ling Jingyang smiled and said to him: "Brother Mantou, these little things, I will go to the head of the department for instructions, and ask Brother Mantou to extinguish the fire. ”

"Hmm"

The old steamed bun motioned to Ling Jingyang to speak, and Ling Jingyang modestly told him that the capital is a prosperous place, but it also makes people rotten, and he wants to go to the field troops outside the city, and asks Brother Mantou for some advice.

The old steamed bun was a little curious, his colleagues were proud of the capture of the capital, and they wanted to enjoy the glory and wealth in the capital, this new sentinel actually did the opposite, he said: "Is there an enemy of you in the city, you can't afford to provoke it, you can only go to hide outside the city?" ”

Ling Jingyang whispered in his heart, the entire Dashun army was the cold-faced enemy behind him, and said: "Brother Mantou, there are too many people in the capital, let's take food and drink to camp outside the city, stay away from these places of right and wrong, but the younger generation has heard that Jiannu and Wu Sangui are eyebrows, I don't know if we will go to war with the Guanning Army and Jiannu." ”

The old steamed bun touched his head with his right arm, as a Ming Xiucai, he has had a dream since he was a child, that is, to become a hero with a Wu hook, for the Ming Dynasty to expel the strong enemy outside the Guan, although now become the Ming Dynasty gravedigger, but the Guanwai Jiannu military group is still a strong enemy of the Dashun court, and it is necessary to defend it.

Although the old steamed bun admires Ling Jingyang's style, but if he wants to go outside the city to become a field army, wouldn't it be to annoy the entire battalion, Ling Jingyang is in this department, which belongs to the army of Captain Li Daowei, with more than 1,000 people in the whole army, and the scale is similar to that of the Ming army.

"It's useless for you to look for me, if you want to go outside the city, you have to have a party general's order, you are a sentry general, how can He De let the deputy general give you an order?"

Lao Mantou also knew that the army where Zili was located, because it absorbed too many troops, its combat effectiveness and will to fight plummeted, which was not to absorb too many Ming troops, but too many other peasant armies to join, resulting in insufficient quality of the army, half of the people joined the Dashun Army with speculative purposes, just to do a hard job in the capital, let them go to sleep outside the city, and ran out in a few days.

Although he admired Ling Jingyang out of the mud and did not stain the bones, the old steamed bun still let him die of this heart, he thought that the Ming court in the city had countless desires, and the troops were overstretched, and he would not let the precious army go to the armed march outside the city.

The old steamed bun also talked to Ling Jingyang that these days to appease the surrendered civil and military officials in the capital, some officials can serve the Dashun court, and some will be executed, and there are likely to be big changes in the city, he suggested that Ling Jingyang should be on standby in the military camp during this time, so as not to cause the displeasure of Captain Li Daowei.

Ling Jingyang just wanted to say thank you, but Chongzhen, who was behind, suddenly said: "Brother Mantou, is the city going to kill all the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

The old steamed bun treats his comrades-in-arms with a good personality, and he was not annoyed by Chongzhen's intervention, but said: "Yes, some people who are in the position of corpse meal are not worthy of serving our Dashun court, and some of those who have blood debts with our Dashun will also die." ”

Chongzhen is also very contradictory, the capital was broken by the Dashun army, he is responsible, but those ministers are not good birds, at this time he hopes that Li Zicheng will help him kill more ministers who mislead the country, so that he can feel better.

Although the old steamed bun didn't help, Ling Jingyang still wanted to get out of the city, but before leaving the city, the three rogues had to die, who would let them kill and rob?

However, when the new official takes office, he kills his subordinates Liwei, which is not the performance that an excellent general should have, the strength of the Dashun army is insufficient, and Zhang Shun will not let him kill his subordinates.

Ling Jingyang also found that there were too many soldiers of the Ming army who surrendered in the city, and there were many soldiers of the Dashun Army wearing Ming army uniforms and using Ming army standard weapons, among which there must have been people who had seen Chongzhen, especially Wang Chengen, who had no beard, and was often ordered to go to the local governor, and there were more people who knew him.

He took Chongzhen and Wang Chongen back to the room, no one knew Chongzhen's identity for the time being, but soon Li Zicheng couldn't find Chongzhen, and he would definitely order martial law in the whole city, and Chongzhen would be dug out by digging three feet into the ground.

This is also where Ling Jingyang did not consider, this Ming Dynasty surrendered troops and generals like carp crossing the river, he thought that the most dangerous place was the safest place, but it was really difficult to operate, and the fact was a hundred times more difficult than what was written in the book.

Ling Jingyang thought about it, or wanted to get out of the city, the Dashun army will soon be tortured in the capital to ask for military salaries, this move has surrendered to the Dashun Ming gentry, offended all the offended, he was lying on the bed, but his mind was thinking, to rush out of the city before Li Zicheng began to torture the Ming court officials, but after leaving the city, where can you go, the entire capital, the North Zhili area is the sphere of influence of the Dashun army, out of the city is just a few more days to live, only to go to Shanhaiguan to have a glimmer of life.

Ling Jingyang was thinking hard, and suddenly Zhang Shun's personal soldiers asked to see him outside the door, Ling Jingyang did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly let the personal soldiers come in, and the personal soldiers told Ling Jingyang that the headquarters called all the sentinels, and asked the general sentinels to rush to the headquarters immediately to wait for the military order.

Ling Jingyang got up from the bed and rushed to the place where Zhang Shun was with his own soldiers.

By this time, it was midnight.

Zhang Shun summoned Ling Jingyang and other ten sentinels late at night and told them that there was an important military operation.

Ling Jingyang was in the clouds, he was just a recruit who had just joined the Dashun Army, and he was lucky enough to become a sentry general, and he stayed in the barracks for a day, and he was not familiar with the Dashun Army at all, so he was ordered to participate in tonight's battle.

Four of the other nine outposts surrendered to the Ming army, and one of them was the commander of the five military battalions, in the Dashun army approaching the capital, he led his subordinates to resist a little outside the city, and finally surrendered to the Dashun army, because of the late surrender, but also resisted, was demoted and used, becoming the lowest outpost.

After everyone arrived, Zhang Shun said very indifferently: "Go and kill the thief tonight, there are many of you, who used to be soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and Your Majesty took care of Er, etc., which is the great mercy of the heavens, so your performance tonight is the key for you to become Dashun from the Ming Dynasty, do you understand what I mean?" ”

The four Ming army sentinels nodded wildly, Ling Jingyang and the other sentinels were silent, allowing Zhang Shun to assign tasks, Zhang Shun began to distribute weapons, because the heavy weapons and firearms of the Dashun army were insufficient, and there were not many soldiers with weapons such as three-eyed guns in the army, and the artillery army was even fewer, and a large number of firearms were seized after entering the capital.

Twenty three-eyed guns were assigned to Zhang Shunyan's department, Ling Jingyang and the other seven sentinels were given long spears, bows and arrows, and broadswords, and the only artillery, because the battle was carried out in secret tonight, it was inconvenient to use, and no one would use it, so it was thrown in the barracks.

The crowd was dividing their weapons when suddenly someone shouted.

Captain arrived—

Everyone put down their weapons, Zhang Shun stood straight, to welcome the arrival of the captain, the captain Li Daowei is also the old man of the Dashun army, since Li Zicheng started the army, he followed the southern expedition and the northern war, after the establishment of the Dashun Dynasty, he was promoted to the captain, and belonged to the middle officer in the Dashun army.

He was even colder than Zhang Shun, followed by eight pro-soldiers, came to Zhang Shun and others, and said, "Just these people? ”

Zhang Shun lowered his head and said: "Du Wei, these people are the ten sentinels under the last general, all of them are ready, please give orders to the Du Lieutenant." ”

"Okay, just take them with you."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Shun and Ling Jingyang and the others were a little confused, what is going on, why only let the sentry participate in the battle, and the soldiers below?

......

It turned out that Li Daowei was going to carry out an important task tonight, the number of people was not too many, and only the backbone of the army was needed, which was also the deputy general Dang Shousu, who asked him to bring only a few subordinates to fight tonight, so tonight he led his two flags, ten department generals, ten sentinel generals in each department, and twenty personal soldiers to act together, and the target was the residence of Wei Dezao, the first assistant of the Ming cabinet, and other ministers.

These Ming ministers are deeply disgusted by His Majesty, General Liu thinks that these people's families are rich and rival the country, and the silver is countless, and they are rejected by His Majesty, rather than let the silver in their families lie in the cellar and become moldy, it is better to distribute it to the soldiers, and when the silver is in hand, these people will be driven away, lest they bring the Ming Dynasty into the Dashun Dynasty.

Li Daowei waved his hand, and immediately there were pro-soldiers leading Zhang Shun's troops to leave the barracks and go to the destination, and the other horses were also leading in different directions under the leadership of the pro-soldiers.

Wei Dezao was triumphant, he thought that he was eloquent, exquisite, and would definitely be reused in the Dashun Dynasty, and also deeply despised Chongzhen, thinking that Chongzhen was just a rat-bellied chicken intestine king, Sun Chuanting was a very good end, with a group of recruits to fight with the Dashun army, was defeated by the Dashun army, and finally died under the siege of the Dashun army.

Chongzhen actually thought that he had cheated to death, which chilled the hearts of many people, so the Dashun army marched eastward, and no one gave him his life anymore.

Wei Dezao was reprimanded by Li Zicheng during the day, but he still didn't care, he thought that Li Zicheng scolded him during the day, which was a common practice in the Ming Dynasty, and he would still be reused in the near future, because Li Zicheng was a Ming official before, and these practices have long been ripe.

He was waiting at home, when suddenly a servant came in and said, "My lord, here comes a group of Shunjun." ”

He hurriedly stood up, but saw Zhang Shun rushing in with more than a dozen Dashun soldiers with black faces, he hurriedly said: "I don't know if you soldiers are coming, the criminal ministers have missed the distance, and I ask you to be considerate." ”

Zhang Shun asked, "Wei Dezao?"

Wei Dezao nodded hurriedly, Zhang Shun stepped forward, asked the two henchmen to clasp Wei Dezao's arms behind his back, and then announced the order of the general Liu Zongmin, put Wei Dezao in prison, tortured and asked for silver, Wei Dezao shouted, I am loyal to Dashun, and I can't punish the sergeant.

The soldiers of the Dashun army ignored him and dragged him to the prison in the capital, Ling Jingyang looked at Wei Dezao's embarrassed appearance, and was a little disdainful, this person was less than forty years old, he belonged to the prime of life in the officialdom, and he was the first assistant of the cabinet, but he did not share state affairs for Chongzhen, and allowed the Dashun army to break through the capital and end up being captured by the enemy.

Wei Dezao was thrown into prison and tortured, and after Ling Jingyang and others completed their mission, they did not return to the barracks, but continued to fight another war, because in the invisible places of the capital, there were still forces loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

After the capital was breached, these resistance forces went underground, and continued to be the enemy in the invisible place and the Dashun army, Liu Zongmin, as the general of the main force in the city, took on the heavy responsibility of suppressing the enemy, and posted a notice, the Ming officials in the city must arrive at the designated place within three days to surrender, and those who are overdue will be punished!

At this time, the sky was already white, Ling Jingyang was also bitter, and ran with Zhang Shun for half the night, he was already exhausted and hungry, but he still had to lift his weapons to fight, and the other sentinels always dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, especially a few Ming troops, and they did not dare to show their resentment.

The crowd traveled from the east to the west of the city, and finally stopped in front of a mansion.

This is a deserted yard, overgrown with weeds in front of the door, it is not a problem to hide dozens of people inside, Zhang Shun came out of the house early, received a secret order, there is a Ming army to continue to resist, since it does not surrender, then go to death, this is Li Daowei's military order to the ten generals, Zhang Shun quietly came to the door, and the henchmen shook their heads, and the subordinates understood, and quietly pushed the door open.
