Chapter 82: A Shocking Firearms Battalion
"Into the city!"
Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi glanced at each other, one of them was holding a double whip in his hand, and the other was holding a flag gun, and Tima entered the palace.
1,000 people and 500 cars, it is also mighty.
Kim Hyun led 500 Xinjing battalion soldiers, including 300 archers, to find favorable terrain and lay in ambush along the way, and the thieves' men and horses entered their sight and range as soon as they entered the palace.
"Steady! Take cover, listen to my arrows, and no one shall act without permission......
Kim Hyun also took a bow, and saw that everyone was quietly drawing their bows and aiming, for fear that they would be exposed in advance, and whispered a warning to them.
The archers of the Ming army, this did not dare to show their heads.
Only by staring at the thieves in the dark, step by step.
In an open space in front of the Qianqing Palace of the Ming Imperial Palace, Gong Yonggu led 200 soldiers, with bright armor and dazzling swords and guns, standing neatly.
Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair on the top of the steps, and Wang Chengen took Wang Guoxing, Wang Wencai, Li Ruolian and Wang Shoulin and other more than 100 brocade guards to escort here.
The black brocade hat, embroidered spring knife Wenshanjia, and black boots and white soles, look majestic.
Chongzhen is still dressed like him, wearing a dragon crown of eight treasure pearls, a rolling dragon robe, dragon boots with a gripping tiger, and a sword hanging from his waist.
As a precaution, Chongzhen's dragon robe was wrapped in a layer of soft armor.
Chongzhen held the sword of the Son of Heaven in his hand, and sat on the dragon chair with a golden sword, his eyes were like torches, staring ahead.
It wasn't until Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi's men and horses entered his line of sight that a smile appeared on Chongzhen's iron-like face.
The prince in silver helmet and silver armor hung a sword at his waist, riding a white dragon horse, majestic, and carrying a halberd in front to lead the way.
As soon as he saw the dismount of the horse, the palace guard halberd and the silk reins of the horse had already passed, and Zhu Cihong led Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi to the front of the steps.
After so many years of revolution, Hao Shaoqi and Yuan Zongdi entered the Ming Palace for the first time and saw the Ming court for the first time.
At first glance, Chongzhen looked vigorous, with a face as white as jade, with full majesty, especially those eyes, which were deep and murderous.
"Brother Yuan Zong, Hao Shaoqi, I am ordered by my family to break into His Majesty's King, see His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
Now is not a battlefield, these two people, as messengers, of course, have to see each other first, and report their names and surnames.
Chongzhen sat there, the corners of his mouth curled up, and nodded slightly to them, "No need to be polite, I have heard the names of the two for a long time, and what I see today is really majestic. Let's get straight to the point, pay the money with one hand and hand over the people with the other."
Yuan Zongdi was careful, he looked around, but he didn't see Chen Yuanyuan, "Okay, Your Majesty is really a cheerful person. But we must meet the people before we can give you the money and the grain."
"That's nature." Chongzhen said, and snorted at Wang Chengen, and Wang Chengen slapped three palms knowingly.
The palace gate on the opposite side opened, and from the palace, eight little eunuchs carried out a cyan palanquin, surrounded by 20 heavily armed brocade guards.
Black hat and white-soled boots, flying fish suit embroidered spring knife, particularly conspicuous in the sun.
This sedan chair flew like an arrow, and the Ming troops around it hurriedly avoided, and the sedan chair was supervised by Jinyi Wei and Tai to the ground twenty steps in front of Chongzhen.
Then the car door was about 50 steps away from Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi and others.
There is a brocade guard to open the sedan curtain, and suddenly the fragrance in the sedan car is overflowing, and there is a stunning beauty sitting inside, wearing a lilac skirt, her skin is like clotted fat, her eyebrows are beautiful, her pink face is peachy, and she is like a fairy.
Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi could see it clearly, but the two of them didn't recognize Chen Yuanyuan, and in order to prevent Chongzhen from impersonating a palace maid, they had to identify it.
Of course, someone knows, that is, Liu Zongmin's confidant soldiers, come over a few carefully to identify, the beauty in the sedan chair is indeed Chen Yuanyuan.
The two of them were relieved.
"Come, give them the carts of silver and the wagons of grain and hay, and let them inspect the goods." Hao waved the flag.
Of course, you have to inspect the goods.
What if these thieves have some crushed stones in their chests and some sand in their sacks to fool them?
"Two generals, we can talk about ugly things in front, we not only have to inspect the goods, but also count the number, the time may be a little long, the water thieves cross the river, we can make the dogs plan." Wang Chengen said and waved his hand behind him.
From the hall just now, another army rushed out, with 30 muskets, some aimed at the sedan chair, and some aimed at Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi.
There are three-eyed guns, Peruvian guns, bird guns, and flintlock pistols, and all kinds of fire guns, and the muzzles of the black holes are also quite scary.
Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi's hearts were shocked, this faint monarch used all firearms, they have a firearms battalion!
At this time, Wang Chengen said: "You don't need to panic, Your Majesty and you have a gentleman's agreement, just like the last time I negotiated with Li Gongzi, both sides will be safe and sound if they take what they need, and of course the 300 brothers in the firearms battalion will not do anything."
Wang Chengen said this as a bluff, in fact, only more than 30 muskets appeared here, and there was no ambush of firearms in secret, but it was enough to leave them in suspense and deter them.
