Chapter 14: Raiding the House
Even Wang Chengen felt that His Majesty had completely changed, becoming moody and elusive, and he had to be careful in the future, otherwise he would lose his head and not know it.
At this time, the generals of the government kneeling in front of Chongzhen gradually increased, and they were ordered to kill people and abandon their weapons to beg the emperor for absolution.
Chongzhen's face was expressionless, and after a while, there would be more than a hundred soldiers kneeling in front of him, and he felt that it was almost over, the soldiers of the Guogong Mansion would kill each other, and most of them would be reimbursed, and the rest should be elites, since they are willing to follow me, they might as well open a heavenly grace.
Chongzhen said: "Listen, exempt you from all your crimes, from today onwards, you are still a good son of my Ming Dynasty, merit will be rewarded, and crime will be punished." ”
"Thank you for the emperor's kindness and swear allegiance to the Ming Dynasty." These people kowtowed again to thank them, and in one sentence they were exempted from all their crimes, and they no longer killed their heads, and they no longer punished their families, which was definitely the emperor's grace.
Chongzhen said again: "Zhu Chunchen treason and thief, the crime cannot be punished, read that his ancestors have meritorious service to my Ming Dynasty, and no longer punish his family, but he must copy his family, Wang Daban, pass on the decree." ”
Wang Chengen understood, and hurriedly gave a salute, "The emperor is shengming, and the old slave is in charge." Then he said to Jinyiwei: "The emperor has decreed, you and these soldiers will copy the Guogong Mansion together, grain, gold, silver, horses, silk, all valuable things are brought, hurry up and load the car, and the miscellaneous family will give you half a pillar of incense time, and there must be no mistake." ”
"Yes." The injured Wang Guoxing and Wang Wencai agreed, and regardless of the pain on their bodies, they began to raid their homes with more than a dozen Jinyi guards and more than 100 soldiers and generals from the Guogong Mansion, leaving Wang Chengen, Han Yin, and Yang Wanli to escort here.
There are many people who can work.
One or two hundred people started together, some provided clues, some led the way, and some prepared cattle and horses, and soon the Guogong Mansion was confiscated.
It is worthy of being a hereditary state mansion, and it is really fat.
There are more than 800,000 taels of silver alone, not counting gold bars, pearl necklaces, jade and silk satin, and 1,200 deniers of grain.
Chongzhen took a look, and sure enough, as I expected, Zhu Chunchen is really a big tiger, a few days ago, that Chongzhen took the lead in raising military expenses, Chengguo Gong cried poor more than anyone else, and only took out a mere 20,000 silver, this time I took you to the nest, you can't be cheap.
Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin failed the exam in Beijing, and they roasted silver twice, and baked 70 million taels of silver in just a few days, who said that I have no money?
The people have no money, the court has no money, and the money is in the mansions of corrupt officials and corrupt officials!
This time I raided the National Mansion, which can solve my temporary worries.
Chongzhen was happy in his heart, and when he was approaching, he took Wang Chengen to leave the Guogong Mansion with a car and returned to the palace.
As he was marching, he suddenly heard the sound of killing in front of him.
"Escort!"
Wang Chengen screamed, and nearly twenty Jinyi guards were headed by Wang Guoxing and Wang Wencai, plus Han Yin, the wind and thunder hand, and the eight-step flying Yang Wanli Hula on the grass to protect Chongzhen in it.
The rest of the 1,200 soldiers who had just taken refuge in the emperor's palace changed their faces and pulled out their swords and guns one after another, as if they were facing a great enemy.
But their main task at this time was to drive and protect the grain, gold and silver carts and horses, and none of them dared to leave the cart half a step without instructing them.
Soon a few soldiers of the Ming army came in from the street in front, covered in blood. A young military general at the head, with a spear in his hand, followed by countless thieves who chased him out, shouting.
"Catch it alive, don't let the remnants of the Ming Dynasty run away......"
"Don't worry, you won't be able to run away...... Ouch...... Ah......h
The spear of the young military general had already stabbed down a few thieves who were chasing after him, and the spear in his hand was very neat.
"Hey, that's pretty good...... Give it to me! ”
Hundreds of thieves surrounded these Ming soldiers in the blink of an eye, and the two sides fought to the death at the corner of the street, and people kept falling.
Chongzhen saw that these were definitely the loyalists of my Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't ignore them, "Wang Daban, you bring people over to save people, don't worry about me." ”
Wang Chengen wanted to persuade that although these people had to be saved, the emperor's safety was more important.
Even if a few people are left to save people and let the emperor change his route, their number is too small, and he doesn't know how many thieves there are, and they may be blocked in the street at any time.
As for His Majesty in danger, it is not the work of the courtiers.
But he knew Emperor Chongzhen's temper, how dare he say more at this time.
"The old slave commands."
Wang Chengen agreed, took Han Yin and eight brocade guards, a total of ten people, and rushed over with a shout.
Chongzhen was left with only Yang Wanli and eight brocade guards to escort him, including the injured Wang Guoxing and Wang Wencai, in case of accidents.
Wang Chengen didn't look at it, there were only ten people, but he and Han Yin were both masters of the 3rd level of the refining realm, and the remaining eight Jinyi guards were also selected to fight.
There were five or six hundred thieves in front of him, chasing and killing twenty or thirty Ming soldiers.
Although there were many thieves, they only cared about fighting, but they ignored the small group of people from the other side of the street.
As a result, as soon as Wang Chengen and Han Yin joined the battle group, the thieves couldn't stand it.
Wang Chengen's big axe is round, which is more powerful than Cheng biting gold.
Not to mention Han Yin, the wind and thunder hand is not blowing, suddenly it is a fist, suddenly it is a palm, these thieves have become rookies when they meet him, flying in the air, and screaming constantly.
Five or six hundred people were killed in the blink of an eye, and the dead and wounded were all over the place, and the wolves rushed to the ground.
The leader of the thieves is also a general, riding a jujube red horse, this is gone, how can it be done, but there are not many people who see the Ming army coming to help.
"Kill!"
He shouted, brandished his machete and rushed over himself.
Wang Chengen had just cut down two thieves, and he was meeting the thieves' generals, one with a machete, the other with an axe, and two people and two horses were entangled in one place.
