Chapter 4: Yanshan Gathers the Crowd
If only there were ten repeaters.
A single shot can panic the enemy.
Three rounds of fire can make the enemy lose their fighting spirit.
Five rounds of fire can crush the enemy.
However, if it takes three days to make one, it will not work at all after 12 days!
"No, one a day!" Zhu Youjian said categorically.
Yue Ban hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Holy Lord, the grass people just don't sleep, and they can't do it!" ”
"Do you really have to go to Shanhaiguan to take an adventure?" Zhu Youjian thought to himself.
"Still." Yue Ban whispered.
"What? But what? ”
……
In the Beijing Imperial Palace, Li Zicheng was also secretly thinking to himself: "Where did Emperor Chongzhen Dog go?" ”
Li Zicheng looked at the dragon robe found by the soldiers on the dragon case, looked at the people in the audience and asked slowly: "Venus, hasn't Chongzhen's body been found yet?" ”
"Not yet."
"What about the heirloom jade seal?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the twenty-four treasure seals of the Dog Emperor have all disappeared."
"I really let the Dog Emperor escape!" Li Zicheng slammed the dragon case.
Niu Jinxing smiled mysteriously: "It doesn't matter if the Dog Emperor can't escape or not, the minister has already started that plan." ”
"Oh? Has it already begun? Li Zicheng stood up and walked out of the palace.
"Report ......"
A personal guard rushed over, "Your Majesty, Kunning Palace is on fire!" ”
"Kunning Palace?" Li Zicheng looked due north, thick smoke billowed out, but he couldn't see much fire.
He turned his head to look at Bull Venus.
Niu Jinxing nodded secretly, and led Li Zicheng towards Kunning Palace.
When Li Zicheng arrived, he saw a large number of soldiers struggling to water and put out the fire, and the fire was extinguished after about half a pillar of incense.
Someone used a hook rake to pick up the messy tiles, bricks, wooden blocks, etc., and dragged out seven or eight half-black corpses in the palace and placed them in a row.
At this time, Li Yan, Li Guo and others, who saw the smoke billowing out, also rushed over as soon as possible.
"Get a eunuch and find out who is dead." Bull Venus Road.
After a while, a little eunuch ran over and knelt down in a panic, "Your Majesty, it's the corpses of Queen Zhou and the two princesses, and several other corpses...... Illegible. ”
"Huh?" Li Zicheng snorted coldly.
The little eunuch immediately trembled with fright.
Niu Jinxing shouted: "You said you found the body of the Dog Emperor?" Quick, take the old man to have a look! ”
The little eunuch had been messing around in the palace for a long time, and immediately understood the deep meaning.
Hurriedly stood up and trotted all the way to a row of corpses. Those who look left and right, don't know which designation to choose.
"Your Majesty, look, this is the body of the Dog Emperor." Niu Jinxing didn't wait for the little eunuch to identify, and said directly and loudly.
Li Yan also stepped forward, looked at a row of charred corpses, and then looked at Niu Jinxing's complexion, and had already guessed most of them.
As soon as he was about to speak, he saw Li Zicheng glance at Niu Jinxing approvingly, and said, "Okay! ”
Niu Jinxing quickly turned around and shouted at everyone: "The Dog Emperor has been burned to death!" ”
Looking at the soldiers cheering loudly, Li Yan frowned, his face was gloomy, and he stopped talking.
……
In the depths of Yanshan, Zhu Youjian looked at Yue Ban eagerly, and said hurriedly: "Say it quickly, but what!" ”
"If Master Fan goes, he can bring the three sons of the grass people together, and the three of the grass people's father and son can guarantee to make one a day!" Yue Ban knelt on the ground and said nervously.
"Is that so? Then it's up to providence. You go and prepare the materials first, and start as soon as possible! Zhu Youjian commanded.
Yue Ban retreated, took the design drawings, asked other family members to help, and prepared to go together.
……
At noon, Wang Chengen ran over with excitement on his face, "Long live, Fan Jingwen, Shi Bangyao, and Ling Yiqu have rushed over with more than 100 servants." ”
"Pretty quickly, summon them here."
Fan Jingwen and the three of them cried and shouted about capital crimes from afar, trotted all the way, and bowed down.
Zhu Youjian was speechless, when has this been, a group of high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty can only cry and plead guilty.
"What kind of system have you become, Da Ming is not dead, what is there to cry about. Let's talk about the situation inside and outside the Beijing Division now. Zhu Youjian reprimanded angrily.
Fan Jingwen wiped his tears and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the thieves burned down the palace, and they found a corpse somewhere, saying that you have died!" The 2,000 officials of the Beijing Division have all been lowered! ”
When the words fall, I will cry again.
"Calm down! Go on. Zhu Youjian scolded.
"Yes. The crown prince, the king of Ding, and the king of Yong were dedicated to the thieves by Jiadingbo, and the ministers were entrusted by the emperor! ”
"I don't blame you for this, I expected it, what about the others, why are there only three of you coming?" Zhu Youjian asked.
"Liu Lishun, Wu Linzheng, and Meng Zhaoxiang either hanged themselves or threw themselves into the well, and they have been martyred, and the ministers have not been able to save them!"
Zhu Youjian sighed slightly.
Fan Jingwen took a deep breath and continued: "Li Banghua wants to stay in Jingshi as an internal response. Ni Yuanlu had ordered his 800 men and horses to go out of the city in batches last night, and at this moment, he himself was gathering the remnants of the army and recruiting volunteers in Qian'an City. ”
"Well, I am very relieved to be able to gather 800 people. By the way, can you bring the third son of Yue Ban? ”
Fan Jingwen was stunned, and he didn't understand why Chongzhen suddenly asked his family's heirs.
"Brought. The ministers brought all 50 families in the mansion. ”
Zhu Youjian was overjoyed, "Well done!" Aiqing is really loyal! Cheng En, quickly take the three brothers of the Yue family to help Yue Ban and build a repeater as soon as possible! ”
"In addition, bring some smart soldiers and go over together, let Yue Ban teach them some simple skills, and help them work as soon as possible!"
Wang Chengen was just about to get up, but Zhu Youjian said again: "Also, when Ni Yuanlu arrives, he will directly arrange his people to build arrow feathers according to Yue Ban's explanation." The more you make, the better! ”
"Yes."
Wang Chengen retreated with Fan Jingwen, who was full of question marks.
Fortunately, Fan Jingwen and the others were all officials, although they didn't understand the deep meaning, they still assigned Chongzhen's orders.
Everyone took action immediately.
At night, Ni Yuanlu finally rushed to the depths of the dense forest, and knelt down to Chongzhen by a bonfire, calling it a capital crime.
Zhu Youjian was very helpless, personally helped him up, and ordered Fan Jingwen and others to sit on the ground together.
The four ministers tried every means to excuse themselves before they were ordered to sit down.
Ni Yuanlu said eagerly: "Holy Lord, under the current situation, you shouldn't hide in this forest, you should go to Nanjing as soon as possible to stabilize the political situation!" ”
Shi Bangyao said: "The minister seconded the proposal. ”
"Holy Lord, the minister also thinks that he should not stay here for a long time, let alone go to Shanhaiguan." Fan Jingwen also said.
Shi Bangyao said: "The minister seconded the proposal. ”
Ling Yiqu knelt down and said in a deep voice: "Not only that, but we should also rescue the crown prince and the other three highnesses as soon as possible." ”
"Ling Qing, don't kneel." Zhu Youjian said in a deep voice, "The three emperors are in the thief camp, there will be no danger for the time being, and they can naturally be saved in the future."
Nanjing looks safe, but it's not the best place to go.
Although the thieves are fierce and even break through the Jingshi, they are not a problem in their hearts.
Where do you feel about the crisis of the destruction of the Ming Dynasty? ”
Fan Jingwen looked at Chongzhen's slow and logical question, his face darkened, and he hurriedly said: "The thief has full wings, the general trend has been achieved, who can be more dangerous than him!" ”
Shi Bangyao said: "The minister seconded the proposal. ”
Ni Yuanlu said: "In the past ten years, there have been a lot of thieves in the Central Plains, but the trouble in my heart is undoubtedly the thief, although the thief also has an army of 100,000, but it is far away in Sichuan, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being. ”
Shi Bangyao said: "The minister seconded the proposal. ”
Zhu Youjian squinted his eyes and looked at Shi Bangyao deeply, then turned his gaze to the other side, and said slowly, "Ling Yiqu, what do you think?" ”
"The minister also thinks it's a thief."
"Wrong, big mistake!" Zhu Youjian shouted loudly.
