Chapter 259: Emperor Yongli Collapses

"Saint Crossing the River!"

In the shrill voice of the attendant eunuch, the chariot of the Yongli Emperor boarded the dragon boat and prepared to cross the dancing water, and the soldiers of the Qin army were guarding them, but their expressions were leisurely and relaxed, as if they thought that no one dared to attack the holy car in Sun Kewang's realm.

On the other side of the water, looking at the busy convoy, a Rogers commando member held a rifle in his hand and asked the company commander beside him, "Boss, when are we going to attack?" After waiting so long, he finally arrived. ”

"Don't call me boss, call me company commander, or Zuo Military Academy." The company commander glared at him and corrected.

The soldier looked indifferent, and still said, "I know the boss, you haven't answered me yet." ”

The company commander had no choice but to hold his forehead, and he didn't bother to correct it again, and said: "Don't be in a hurry to do it, we only need to be responsible for monitoring, have all the gunpowder on the post station been arranged?" ”

"It's all arranged, if the emperor really spends the night at that station, he will definitely not see the sun tomorrow." The soldier replied.

When the words fell, he paused and raised his doubts: "It's just that in this way, how can we blame Sun Kewang for the identity of the murderer?" If the gunpowder had exploded, his soldiers would have died as well. ”

"You don't have to worry about that." The company commander said indifferently: "At this point, it doesn't matter who the murderer is, the emperor's death on Sun Kewang's territory is enough to make Sun Kewang fall into the whirlpool of public opinion." ”

The soldier scratched his head, his curiosity wanted him to continue asking, but after thinking about it, he kept his mouth shut and watched as Emperor Yongli's convoy crossed the water and continued along the road.

That night, Yongli's convoy really settled in the post station, the post station was re-established after the Qing court occupied Hunan, after the Ming army recovered Hunan, the staff set up here by the Qing court basically ran out, leaving only a few people who had nowhere to go still in the post station.

And these people were all killed by the Rogers commando who arrived first, and the commando soldiers pretended to be the post station staff to receive the emperor's chariot, and cleared out the best rooms in the post station for the emperor to live in.

At night, Zhu Youlang sat on the bed, and the celebrant and eunuch Pang Tianshou stood aside to serve, although Zhu Youlang knew that Pang Tianshou was his own grandson, but he did not alienate the other party, but continued to let Pang Tianshou serve himself.

Pang Tianshou saw that Zhu Youlang was dissatisfied with this room, he chuckled lightly, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, bear with me for the time being, this poor and remote land is naturally not worthy of Your Majesty's identity, as long as you go back to Nanjing, everything will be fine." ”

Zhu Youlang nodded, although he was born in the third year of the Apocalypse, he is only 29 years old now, but the displacement after succeeding to the throne has caused many wrinkles on his face, and a few strands of white silk can be seen from time to time on his black hair.

He sighed and said to Pang Tianshou: "Tianshou, if I remember correctly, you should have followed me in the second year of Longwu." Error-free updates @"

Pang Tianshou didn't know why the emperor suddenly said this, he nodded and replied cautiously: "Exactly, Your Majesty." ”

"You are the one who led me into the Sect, and I naturally have great trust in you, and I hope you will not live up to my trust." Zhu Youlang said meaningfully, his voice fell, Pang Tianshou hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said in fear: "Your Majesty, slave, how dare the slave and maid violate Your Majesty's trust, Your Majesty listened to someone's slander and separated Your Majesty and the slave and maid." ”

Zhu Youlang chuckled, personally helped Pang Tianshou up, and said comfortingly: "Tianshou, I naturally believe in your loyalty to me, but if you get too close to that Sun thief, it will inevitably make others say more." ”

Pang Tianshou naturally understood who the Sun thief in his mouth was, he quickly knelt on the ground again, knocked his head three times, and said: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid know that they are wrong, and the slave and maid promise that from now on they will not have contact with the Sun thief, and please punish Your Majesty!" ”

At the same time, under the post station, the commando soldiers disguised as post station personnel were already standing in the cellar where the gunpowder was stacked, and he looked at the wooden floor above his head, because this post station was a one-story building, and the Yongli Emperor lived above their heads, so Pang Tianshou's kowtow action directly sounded three big movements above their heads, which startled several of them.

"I'm scared to death, I remember that this is the emperor's room, could it be that someone kowtowed in front of him?"

A soldier whispered.

Leave him alone, pull the lead and prepare to evacuate, don't make any extraneous branches. The squad leader-looking man said in a deep voice, and under his command, the two soldiers stretched the lead and dragged it all the way to the entrance of the cellar.

Subsequently, they lit the fuse outside the cellar, and after igniting it, the three of them hurriedly evacuated, because the Qin soldiers did not think that they would be attacked, so the defense of the post station was extremely lax, and they left the post station very smoothly.

It is worth mentioning that the Du Si of the Rogers Commando followed all the way and discovered that the Qin soldiers were lax in discipline and lacked vigilance, so they made this plan so boldly.

They were betting that the Qin army would not conduct a thorough search of the entire post station, and it turned out that they were right, and they didn't care about defending the holy car, they just pretended to search the inside and outside of the post station, and they didn't even find the cellar.

A few minutes later, the fuse burned out, and an earth-shattering explosion was heard at the station, followed by a huge explosion that sent half of the station into the air, the violent shock wave shattering the internal organs of the soldiers around the station, and the flames in the sky illuminated the faces of the Rogers commando soldiers hiding in the nearby bushes.

On the fourth day of the sixth month of June in the sixth year of Yongli, the emperor collapsed in the suburb of Chenzhou, and the accompanying officials and queens, concubines, and princes were all killed together, and there were no bones. Initial Update@

The news of the death of the Yongli Emperor in Chenzhou quickly spread throughout the country, and the world shook, and officials and squires and landlords everywhere were keenly aware that the situation would change dramaticallyβ€”in short, the sky would change.

Sun Kewang, who was the first to learn the news, suddenly panicked, he couldn't imagine that Emperor Yongli would die on his own territory so quickly.

However, he quickly reacted, and immediately issued a letter stating that the emperor's death had nothing to do with him, and accusing the Chu king Su Yan of doing it, and at the same time ordering the Hunan soldiers and horses to reorganize their armies and war, and asking Li Dingguo, who was fighting with Kong Youde in Guangxi, to withdraw to Hunan.

But Su Yan immediately retorted, and he spoke fiercely, accusing Sun Kewang of murdering the emperor and members of the imperial family in order to provoke a civil war, and framing him - he also listed Sun Kewang's arrogance, contempt for the emperor, wanton murder of officials and other crimes, and declared Sun Kewang a national thief in the name of the emperor's own king of Chu, and the whole world condemned him.

At the same time, Su Yan also set up a mourning hall for the Yongli Emperor in Nanjing, worshiping the spirit of the Yongli Emperor in the sky, he personally wore a plain silk, and swore on the emperor's spiritual seat that he would purge the national thieves and avenge the emperor.

Civil war, broke out!.
