Li Daowei asked Zhang Shun's people to bury these corpses, Zhang Shun brought ten sentinels, one did not die, Zhang Shun was also satisfied with the performance of these subordinates, whether it was Ling Jingyang, or old subordinates, or the newly surrendered Ming army sentinels, in this battle showed a break with the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Shun also began to trust the new subordinates.

Especially Ling Jingyang, who protected her several times in the battle and was not attacked by the Ming army, let him take a look at Ling Jingyang, and wanted to train Ling Jingyang as his descendant, although he was just a general, but the Dashun army had already achieved half of the country, and he would have to be promoted to a higher-level general sooner or later.

"Ling Jingyang, you led someone to bury the corpse, these people can be regarded as men, don't let the corpse be violent in the wilderness."

Zhang Shun dropped this sentence and took his own soldiers to join Li Daowei, he asked Ling Jingyang to dispose of the body, did he want to give Ling Jingyang benefits, and to see if he was worth cultivating and wooing?

Ling Jingyang looked at the hundreds of corpses on the ground, a little confused, so many corpses, where did he have more manpower to bury them, and a sentry on the side whispered: "Mr. Ling, this is a beautiful errand, you go back to the barracks, gather the brothers, and bury these corpses, the valuable objects on this corpse are not all you and your brothers?" ”

Ling Jingyang pretended to be suddenly enlightened. "Oh, thank you, brother, and ask all the brothers to gather their respective sentry brothers, and everyone will come and make do with these corpses, is that okay?"

As soon as these words came out, several other sentinels immediately understood, and immediately returned to the barracks to summon their subordinates, most of the outposts were full of subordinates, only a few Ming army sentinels who surrendered, and there were only five or six people below, Ling Jingyang also asked his soldiers to help, and after a while, everyone came with hoes and other tools to help bury the corpses.

Chongzhen and Wang Chongen wore hats, the brim of the hat was lowered, and they sweated like rain among the soldiers, and others didn't know them at all, Zhang Shun The Ming soldiers in this department, most of them were soldiers outside the city, and no one knew Chongzhen.

They moved all the corpses of the Ming army to an open space, and then dug a big pit in the backyard, and when everyone arrived in the backyard, they saw that the backyard was also full of corpses, which made everyone stunned.

Most of these corpses are ordinary people, almost no Ming soldiers saw the corpse, Ling Jingyang stepped forward to see, it was actually a lot of Ming Dynasty officials, unwilling to surrender Dashun, with their families here martyrdom, they are civil ministers, Confucian generals, there is no ability to fight to the death, so they chose to die in this unknown courtyard.

Walking around among the corpses, there were more than a thousand corpses in this courtyard, Chongzhen burst into tears, it turned out that there were loyal people among the subjects, they died Mingzhi, and left with Daming, listening to Jingyang and the others mourn for a while, and then said: "It's all buried." ”

The officers and men of the Dashun army soon began to bury the corpses, all the valuable things on the corpses were taken away, and some weapons that could still be used were also brought back, and everyone was busy all morning, but still did not bury all the corpses, and it was almost time for lunch, and more than half of the corpses were lying on the ground.

These corpses are easy to bury, as long as it takes time to dig a pit, more than a thousand corpses need a large corpse pit, and everyone is also looking at the silver, so they continue to dig pits and bury the corpses, if there is no silver, these corpses are basically allowed to rot in the air.

Ling Jingyang has never been a brainless person, he asked Wang Chengen to buy some meat to treat everyone, Wang Chengen still has silver in his pocket, he followed Ling Jingyang's intentions, went to a nearby store to buy some cooked food, at this time the capital, under the strong control of the Dashun army, was in good order.

Many shops opened to continue doing business, Wang Chengen lowered his head and found a shop, this shop sells steamed buns and baked cakes, because Wang Chengen is dressed up in Dashun Army, the shopkeeper is respectful to him, Wang Chengen lowered his voice, saying that he wanted to buy 200 baked cakes and 300 steamed buns.

The shopkeeper was stunned, this is a big business, and he greeted Wang Chengen warmly, but when he raised his head and saw Wang Chengen, he was a little familiar, and he always felt that this person had seen it somewhere.

His hesitant gaze made Wang Chengen a little scared, unlike Chongzhen who lived in the palace, he often showed his face, there were many, many people who knew him, if the shopkeeper recognized him as His Majesty's chief eunuch, wouldn't it put His Majesty in danger?

The shopkeeper really knows Wang Chengen, and he also knows that the entire Dashun Army in the capital is looking for Chongzhen Ye, and Wang Chengen is Chongzhen Ye's personal eunuch, if he finds Wang Chengen, won't he find Chongzhen Ye?

This is ten thousand taels of gold, when the shopkeeper is doing business, his heart is black, the lack of catties and less than two is the norm, and the pit door abduction is repeatedly prohibited, he is busy with Wang Chengen and said: "This lord, you want a little too many steamed buns and baked cakes, let's have a small business, you sit here for a while, and the small one will go to other stores to buy some for you, do you think it's good?" ”

Wang Chengen is not a three-year-old child, there are not so many cooked foods in this store, so change one, so he shook his head, turned his head and left, the shopkeeper will let ten thousand taels of gold slip away like this, he hurriedly shouted: "This master, other stores are the same, how can there be so much cooked food, you wait a while, I will prepare it for you immediately." ”

Wang Chengen ignored him, lowered his head and walked to other stores, the owner of the shop saw Wang Chengen leaving, hurriedly lifted a kitchen knife, and slashed at Wang Chengen, this knife scared Wang Chengen's soul down, he was a eunuch, how could he have a tough body and martial arts, watching a bright kitchen knife cut towards the door, almost fainted.

The kitchen knife stopped at a finger distance from the tip of Wang Chengen's nose, the shopkeeper couldn't believe it and looked at his chest, was shot by an arrow, he wanted to open his mouth to tell others, the person in front of him was the chief eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, he desperately opened his mouth, and another arrow was shot, this arrow hit his throat, only the breath came out but not the breath entered.

Wang Chengen looked back, it was Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang asked Wang Chengen to buy some cooked food, Wang Chengen just left, he felt that something was wrong, so he picked up a pair of bows and arrows from the ground and followed, just saw Wang Chengen being attacked, so he fired two arrows in a row, shooting the black-hearted boss who was full of interests.

The people around him were frightened and scattered, and Ling Jingyang shouted loudly: "This person attacked the Dashun soldiers, and he was innocent, and other idle people, etc., quickly avoided." ”

The Dashun army is the master in the capital, killing a fart, there is almost no splash sound, the nearby Dashun soldiers who are responsible for maintaining order rushed over, Ling Jingyang hurriedly told them that he was a subordinate of the Chinese army party Shousu, and he followed the captain to strangle the remnants of the Ming army nearby last night, and was cleaning the battlefield, asking his subordinates to buy some cooked food, but he was attacked by the younger generation, and asked the brothers to uphold justice.

The Dashun soldiers in the city are all brothers, these Dashun soldiers have been trying to quell sporadic resistance, and have achieved good results, but at this time, some people attacked their comrades, but fortunately, their comrades-in-arms killed the enemy, they waved their hands, let Ling Jingyang and Wang Chengen leave, and then cut off the head of the shopkeeper, closed the store, and dispersed the crowd.

Wang Chengen and Ling Jingyang walked back, and Ling Jingyang and Wang Chengen said: "Wang En, it was my negligence, please don't go to your heart." ”

"Mr. Lingshao, you are very good at hard work, and your archery skills are also a hundred steps through Yang, can you tell the old slave, which guard you were in before?"

It turned out that he thought that Ling Jingyang was the general of the forbidden army in the capital, but there were too many forbidden troops in the capital, and he didn't know every middle and low-level general, so he asked Ling Jingyang which army he was, and why did he and His Majesty save him?

Ling Jingyang didn't speak, and Wang Chengen asked him again: "Wouldn't it be beautiful for you to sacrifice me and Your Majesty to Li Thief, with ten thousand taels of gold?" ”

Ling Jingyang suddenly stopped, looked back at Wang Chengen's eyes, and said: "The Ming Dynasty should die, but you can't die now, and it's not the time to die now." ”

Wang Chengen didn't quite understand what Ling Jingyang meant, and continued to ask: "The Ming Dynasty didn't die, and there were still millions of soldiers in Jiangnan, so how could you say that you would die lightly?" ”

"Daming still has millions of soldiers in Jiangnan, so why do Your Majesty and you have to hang yourself? If it weren't for me, your two corpses would have been carried in front of Li Zicheng and used as trophies to show off. ”

Wang Chengen blushed like a monkey's butt, he has always disapproved of His Majesty's stubborn defense of the capital, he should cross south to Yingtianfu as soon as possible, and the land route is not passable, so he will take the sea route, but His Majesty is thin-skinned, and he is embarrassed to talk to the minister, and the minister is also because of Chen Xinjia's matter (Chen Xinjia was ordered by Chongzhen to secretly negotiate peace with Houjin, leaked secrets, and was killed. Many ministers are no longer of the same heart and mind as His Majesty, Chongzhen is not leaving, nor is he leaving, so he has been consumed until Li Zicheng's army invades the capital.

He didn't want to sink the capital, so he said to Ling Jingyang: "Then where do you want to take us?" ”

Ling Jingyang actually didn't have a bottom, he said to Wang Chengen: "I don't know, take one step at a time, the top priority is to leave the capital and go to Shanhaiguan with the Dashun army, maybe there is still a way to live?" ”

Wang Chengen's eyes lit up, he immediately thought that the Ming Dynasty still had an army in Shanhaiguan, that is, Wu Sangui led the Guanning army, if he rushed to Shanhaiguan with His Majesty, and raised his arms, Guanning Iron Cavalry is likely to continue to be loyal to Dang, he can persuade the head of the Guanning army to support His Majesty to reinstate, so that the Ming Dynasty has a glimmer of life.

"Are you saying that you went to Shanhaiguan to join Wu Sangui, and Your Majesty was backed by tens of thousands of Guan Ning troops, swinging among Li Thief and Jiannu?"

Ling Jingyang didn't expect this, he always looked at the problem from the perspective of the future, but he didn't expect that if Chongzhen was really brought to Shanhaiguan and joined the Guanning army, it would bring a different historical trend.

His subconscious is still based on the trend of history, thinking that Wu Sangui will definitely surrender to Dolgon, and Li Zicheng will definitely be defeated by the Guan Ning Army and the Eight Banners Army, but now it is different, if he takes Chongzhen to Shanhaiguan, even if Wu Sangui has the courage, he will not dare to kill the king between the Dashun Army and the Eight Banners Army, so that no matter which side he surrenders, he will be killed by the master behind him as a scapegoat in the end, and use it to buy the hearts of the people in the world.
