Chapter 636: Suicide and Apologize, Kneel to Welcome the King

"Draw your sword, rush forward, don't give them a chance to line up and fire!"

"Damn, these emperor soldiers who drank ink, how can they be so desperate, and dare to continue to rush with such a big fire!"

Dong Chaoying immediately pulled out his waist knife and shouted, and then couldn't help but scold.

The rebels under his command who had not yet fought with the Son of Heaven's pro-army immediately drew their swords and took the initiative to rush up the collapsed city wall on a ladder, and took the initiative to fight with the Son of Heaven's pro-army who rushed up.

For a while, the two sides slashed and slashed, like heavy snow flying, and from time to time blood was spilled, and along with it, there were also people rolling down from the collapsed city wall, rolling in the snow, screaming continuously.

But after many people who rolled down, after screaming, they gritted their teeth and stood up again, and continued to rush up to fight.

Zhu Yijun sat in the chariot from afar, watching this scene with clairvoyance, and his expression was very solemn.

He knew that it was all the work of the bureaucracy that made this scene happen.

Originally, whether it was the central Son of Heaven's pro-army, or Dong Chaoying, who was originally a rebel in the border army of Shaanxi Town, it should be his emperor's soldiers, and the loyal and brave men who fought for the Ming Dynasty together in this era.

But now, because of the evil of the bureaucracy headed by the governor Dang Xin, and the inaction of other bureaucrats, the two armies have become each other's enemies, and each wants to take each other's lives.

Zhu Yijun also glanced at Li Ruhua, who returned to the palace.

Li Ruhua also looked dignified at this time.

Of course.

This situation has long been common in the history of Han civilization.

As the so-called war is the highest level of struggle.

In the end, the struggle between the old and the new in the Ming Dynasty was inevitably expressed through war.

Whether Zhu Yijun is willing or not, this situation will occur.

But the absurd thing is that neither of the two sides of the current fight is actually the real culprit that caused this dispute, and it is even reasonable to say that these people should be the supporters and beneficiaries of the new rite.

However, this is the reality.

Or the reality that Zhu Yijun, as the emperor, can't stop.

Because he can't completely require every bureaucrat to be impartial and selfless, and to have a bottom line.

After all, this is not a computer game of later generations, loyalty can be fixed, but in reality, human nature is complex and uncontrollable.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun can only watch these pro-soldiers fight with the rebels from the border army now.

After all, the Son of Heaven's army has a numerical advantage and an advantage in firearms, and in addition, most of them are also elites drawn from the border armies of various towns, and they also have a stronger will to fight, so gradually the Son of Heaven's army has the upper hand.

Wei Peng personally rushed to Dong Chaoying with a big knife, and killed many rebels as if he were in a no-man's land.

Dong Chaoying saw this knife and swiped it towards his arm, and then took the initiative to kill Wei Peng with a fierce face.

Sonorous!

For a while, the two sides were mixed together, and only the shadow of the knife and the shadow of blood were seen.

It's just that Shen Yongmao didn't know when he brought his own firearm to repel the rebels' firearms, and went around behind Dong Chaoying, killed the rebels around Dong Chaoying, and surrounded Dong Chaoying.

Dong Chaoying saw that he had fallen into a heavy siege, and many people on his side were already lying on the ground, so he stopped fighting and was only stunned.

Wei Peng didn't attack him when he was distracted, and waved his hand to stop the Son of Heaven's pro-army who came up with him from attacking Dong Chaoying, and only said to him:

"Brother Frontier Army, we know that you have come to this point, in fact, we don't blame you, if you want to blame, blame the dog official Dang Xin, and there are other officials who just want to be with the light and dust, and are unwilling to make decisions for you, which has led you to this point."

"So we don't kill you, you kill yourself to apologize!"

Dong Chaoying was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

"Don't betray the court in the next life!"

"Although the dog officer should be killed, he can't betray His Majesty because of this, and His Majesty doesn't know his evil and has been deceived by him."

Wei Peng continued at this time.

After a while, Dong Chaoying smiled, and then said, "Thank you for success!" ”

After speaking, Dong Chaoying wiped his neck with a horizontal knife, and then knelt on the ground.

With a large number of rebels killed, including Dong Chaoying, who had to commit suicide, the entire rebel army completely collapsed and lost its combat effectiveness.

And the army of the Son of Heaven successfully recovered the city of Xi'an.

Like Dong Chaoying, many rebel military academies were given the opportunity to commit suicide with the cooperation of the Son of Heaven's pro-army.

Because the Son of Heaven's pro-army already knew the reason for the appearance of these rebels when they were mobilized, and after completely gaining the advantage, they also had a heart for these rebels and were willing to let them have a chance to kill themselves.

Even with the families of these rebels, the Son of Heaven's pro-army did not insult them, first, they had to abide by military discipline, and secondly, they did not have much hatred for the rebels, and only rescued the women who were detained by these rebels, including some of them who had been secretly married, and they were also sent to the doctors for temporary reception.

The surviving gentry and people in the city, the Son of Heaven's pro-army did not bother.

Therefore, many gentry in the city, after discovering that the Son of Heaven's pro-army had recovered Xi'an City and behaved in good military discipline, also came out of the cellar where they were hiding, knelt down in front of the pro-army with grateful, and said that the king had finally come.

These gentry who have experienced the scourge of rebellion are more welcoming to the Son of Heaven's pro-army who are now entering the city than those gentry in Huazhou who have been taught by the Son of Heaven's pro-military guard.

"In addition to the casualties of the soldiers who accompanied the soldiers of my own army, they should be given a large amount of money for bereavement and treatment and burial, and the corpses of the rebels should also be buried in coffins, for the sake of them guarding the border for the country, do not humiliate their corpses."

Zhu Yijun also promulgated a benevolent decree after entering Xi'an City.

Then, after Zhu Yijun entered the city, the gentry who survived by hiding in cellars and other places in the city also came out to greet him.

"Fortunately, my emperor personally came to save the ministers and other Xi'an officials and people in fire and water, otherwise I really don't know what kind of misfortune I will suffer next! We only wish that our emperor will live long live, long live, long live, and the Ming Society will be prosperous forever. ”

At that time, there was a gentry Liu Shengkui who knelt on both sides of the street and said with tears.

Liu Shengkui should indeed be sad, because the rebels robbed his grain shop and killed the house slaves who ran the grain shop for him.

And now that the Son of Heaven has regained Xi'an and restored commercial order, it is indeed good news for him, so he also hopes that the Ming Dynasty will prosper.

Zhu Yijun didn't say much when he saw this scene, he knew why these gentry welcomed him and his pro-army so much at the moment.

"What about Zhu Yiluo?"

Zhu Yijun only asked about the whereabouts of Zhu Yiluo, the former king of Qin, at this time.

At this time, Liu Wei came over and said, "Your Majesty, the Qin Palace's Mansion is now empty, and I don't know where to go." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister knows where King Qin and they went."

Suddenly, a middle-aged man kneeling on the ground with a patch shouted outside through the military wall.

Zhu Yijun followed the sound and looked over, and saw that the man in his prime was dressed in patched clothes, described as thin, and there were many men, women and children kneeling around him, all of whom looked like beggars.

Zhu Yijun couldn't help asking: "Who are you, how do you know about the affairs of the Qin Palace, and you are still a minister!" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is Zhu Cuncai, the lieutenant of Fengguo of the Qin Domain, and the minister naturally knows about the affairs of the Qin Palace."

This Zhu Cuncai replied.

Zhu Yijun was stunned and asked, "You are actually a clan, but why are you dressed so sloppily?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, because Zhu Yiluo has been short-haired with our money, and we are not allowed to go out of the city, and send people to keep an eye on us, so we can only sew and mend our lives, and now because he has escaped, we can go out of the royal city to meet us."

Zhu Cuncai replied very calmly, and didn't seem to think that this was abnormal.

Zhu Yijun had already sunk his face and asked, "Those people around you are also from the clan?" ”

Zhu Cuncai said: "Yes, they are all members of the Qin clan. ”

"The clans of this dynasty have become like this, and they are not regarded as people, no wonder this Xi'an City is in chaos!"

"That governor Dang Xin was just killed by the rebels, it's really cheap for him!"

Zhu Yijun complained angrily to the eunuch Tian Yi and Qi Jiguang and Wang Xijue in the car.

"Your Majesty is angry!"

The three of them hurriedly persuaded him.

Zhu Yijun asked Zhu Cuncai again: "Then where did Zhu Yiluo and them go?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, as early as half a month ago, they went out to Xi'an to conquer Ningxia, saying that King Qing of Ningxia refused to go to the country to serve him Zhu Yiluo, so Zhu Yiluo issued an order to conquer in person!"

Zhu Cuncai replied.

Qi Jiguang and Wang Xijue couldn't help but glance at each other in astonishment.

Zhu Yijun was not much surprised after thinking of the story in the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and said: "This seems to be something they can do." ”

"Send a decree to the Marquis of Nanchang, ask him to send someone to inquire about Zhu Yiluo's rebels, and also send someone to ask the Marquis of Tieling if he knows about this, and inform him that Xi'an has been restored, let him finish sweeping the forts around Ningxia Town as soon as possible!"

Zhu Yijun then confirmed the matter from the Jinyi guards sent into the city in advance, and then gave a few orders, and ordered the whole army to prepare to go north to continue to quell the rebellion after resting.

Zhu Yixi, the king of Qin, did take his group of puppet officials and some landlords who surrendered to him to the north to conquer Ningxia, and only let Dong Chaoying and others stay in Xi'an.

Because Zhu Yiluo knew that his people were not the opponents of the imperial army, he only thought about fleeing to the north, and respected himself as the king of Qing who conquered Ningxia in the name of not going to the country.

After Bibai learned the news, he was quite annoyed by this, and said to Cao Zideng: "Obviously, it is difficult for us to serve Tianjing first, why should he Zhu Yiluo come to conquer our Qingwang side!" It just doesn't make sense! Since everyone is going to be in trouble, why don't we work together first, we have to hurt each other first! ”

"This Zhu Yiluo is obviously afraid of Zhu Yijun's army and Qi Jiguang, and is just looking for a reason to flee north, not really to be our enemy. What the general should be worried about now is how to get out of the way! ”

Cao Zideng spoke at this time.

After hearing this, Bibai asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Cao Zideng suddenly slapped the table: "What else can I mean!" ”

"The situation in front of you, the general is not unclear!"

"You Tatars are not going to be able to do anything! Even if there are many captives and few Han people in Ningxia now, the reality is that they can't even beat a flower horse pool, and they have to watch Li Rusong and Ma Gui's soldiers and horses approaching us step by step! ”
