Chapter 1: Lao Tzu is a colt
In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, on the night of March 16, the Ming Dynasty Jingshi was in the west of the capital city, and Jeju Wei Hutong.
The five men in black turned over and crossed the wall, their movements were agile, and they knew at a glance that they were very skilled, and their origins were very good.
Soon, the back door of the mansion of Chen Yan, the former cabinet chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty and a scholar of the Jianji Palace, was quietly opened from the inside.
Dozens of black-clothed men who had been waiting outside for a long time suddenly emerged from the darkness, and they followed closely behind a tall man in black, holding sharp blades, and swarmed in.
As the back door was closed again, the dozen or so families of the Chen Mansion were quickly dealt with by the black-clothed people who entered the mansion, and the whole process went smoothly, and there was hardly any decent resistance, let alone any sound.
Even those maids and women in the house were also controlled.
Emperor Chongzhen, who was once the number one favorite of Emperor Chongzhen, is now being tied to the pillar of the Chen Mansion Hall by the Five Flowers, even if a piece of cloth is stuffed on his mouth, he is still screaming "mmmmmmmmmm
The man in black who led the way slowly walked into the hall, and he was still followed by more than a dozen men in black, with an aggressive momentum.
Seeing this, Chen Yan's Adam's apple trembled and squirmed, so nervous that he kept swallowing saliva, and even his whole body trembled.
After Zhou Shixian approached, he glanced at the subordinates beside him, and the other party immediately understood, and immediately stepped forward to take down the cotton cloth stuffed in Chen Yan's mouth.
"Spare your life, a good man spare your life......" As soon as the rag was taken out of Chen Yan's mouth, he hurriedly begged for mercy, as if he could avoid death.
Zhou Shixian knew that this kind of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the court moths were the most afraid of death, the weakest, and the most spineless. He looked coldly at the powerful man in front of him begging for mercy with tears in his eyes, without the slightest fluctuation in his heart.
"Lord Chen, you are really good, you hide the silver so tightly, Lao Tzu can't find it no matter how you look for it!"
Zhou Shixian stared at the other party and said gloomily: "If you want to live, just tell me honestly, where did the remaining hundreds of thousands of taels of silver go." Otherwise, Lao Tzu will definitely make your life worse than death. ”
Of course, Zhou Shixian knew that the assets of this insatiable old thing in front of him were more than 100,000 taels of silver, and the national abbot Zhou Kui, the eunuch Wang Zhixin, and the former cabinet chief assistant Chen Yan were all huge greed that was tortured by Liu Zongmin in history and played out hundreds of thousands of taels of stolen silver.
As a veteran officer and a lover of in-depth history, because of an accident, Zhou Shixian, who traveled from the 21st century, not only read many history books and military books, but also liked to read various historical online novels.
Therefore, Zhou Shixian, who is accustomed to reading historical travel novels, naturally accepted the reality that he had traveled to the end of the Ming Dynasty.
It's just that the special one was actually worn on the body of Zhou Shixian, a Daming concubine with the same name and surname, in the first month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, which is a bit excessive! God, is this going to bury the Zhu family by himself?
Fortunately, Zhou Shixian was born in a family of eunuchs, and his father used to be the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, managing the Ma Zheng of the Ming Dynasty.
And Zhou Shixian himself is a humble son who is famous for his excellent character and learning, both civil and military, and famous.
Although the power of Jinyiwei during the Chongzhen period has been greatly reduced, the residual power still exists, coupled with the sudden arrival of the army of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, the capital has been in chaos for more than two months, and Zhou Shixian also took advantage of the chaos of more than two months to gather a large number of capable people at the bottom in the city.
After all, he is now a first-class lieutenant, and his title is between the marquis and the earl, and in today's Ming Dynasty, there are not many people who can compare with his title.
And the actual Liupin Jinyi Guard, because of the turbulent situation, has not yet stepped down, so that Zhou Shixian can still justifiably transfer the Jinyi Guard under his command.
Of course, if you ask Zhou Shixian what else is to be thankful for, it should be the good skin of the original owner, he can be selected as a colt, his appearance is naturally outstanding, if it is placed in the future generations, it is the master who can completely rely on his face to eat.
And the famous Princess Kunxing is famous for her beauty and beauty, but it's a pity that she is jealous and famous, so she has such an unreliable father.
After a few days of familiarization, Zhou Shixian's IQ reoccupied the high ground, and soon began to use the historical knowledge learned by later generations, the connections of the Zhou family, and the ability he had trained for many years as a soldier to find a way to survive in a desperate situation.
At that time, it was less than two months before the destruction of the capital city, and Zhou Shixian knew that after the plague and Li Jiantai's westward expedition, there was no possibility of holding the city, so he turned his attention to the breakthrough.
If he only needs to go alone and make a living alone, it will naturally be easy, with his official position and family wealth, when he will take a few loyal subordinates and leave quietly, no one will know.
As for the bloody wind and rain in the next twenty years, what does it have to do with him as a person who went to Nanyang?
But when he crossed into the moment of life and death of this country and nation, if he didn't do anything, I am afraid that he would be sorry for his military identity, and even more sorry for the blood of his Chinese descendants.
Both of these are inseparable from him. Not to mention, as a man who grew up under the red flag, how could Zhou Shixian have no backbone and blindly escape? Is it even more impossible to grovel and shave your head to be a slave full of Tartars?
This is an era of extinction of the country and the destruction of the species, and the whole place is full of blood, Shenzhou has sunk for three hundred years, the country is weak and the people are stupid, and the Chinese civilization has lost its glory for a long time, and it has even been bullied by the sub-civilization island countries derived from itself.
Yangzhou 10th, Jiading 3 massacres, Jiangyin 81st, Kunshan massacre, Nanchang massacre, Xiangtan massacre, Datong massacre, Guangzhou massacre...... There are more than 1,300 counties in the Ming Dynasty, and there are more than 1,000 people who slaughtered the city in the local annals, and more than 30 million people of the Ming Dynasty who died under the hands of the Mantar executioners!
Therefore, there is everything Zhou Shixian is doing now, and there is tonight's robbery. Zhou Shixian not only had to go by himself, but also took Emperor Chongzhen with him and the few remaining loyal ministers of the Ming court.
Because he wants to resist the Qing Dynasty, drive out the Tartars, restore the rivers and mountains, and return the people of the world to a bright future!
"Hero, the old man really has no money left in his family." Chen Yan was still crying poorly, with a handful of snot and tears. These moral gentlemen of the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful thing is acting.
If it weren't for Zhou Shixian's performance after he knew that the other party was served by Liu Zongmin later, I am afraid that looking at him like that, he would have believed the nonsense of this bad old man.
"Oh, is there really none?" Zhou Shixian suddenly became kind, and then glanced at the cronies around him, and said in a gentle tone:
"Untie Lord Chen, take out your right hand and right hand, tie them together like this, and go down with a knife, I'm afraid that I will directly kill Lord Chen."
Chen Yan's face was already smiling, but when he heard this, his eyes instantly widened in fright.
He looked at the masked man in black in front of him in disbelief, but he couldn't remember when he had offended someone, and how this person knew that there was other silver hidden in his house.
Let's say that Chen Yan originally saw that the situation was not good, and in the first month, he had already asked Emperor Chongzhen to resign, and he should have left the capital and got out of danger.
It's just that there are too many possessions in his family, the situation is chaotic, and the post road is not safe, so he can't all be transported away for a while, so he couldn't make the trip.
If Zhou Shixian didn't know the virtues of this miser, he wouldn't dare to say that he was a history buff.
For this kind of person, he knows that if he doesn't have to be ruthless or bloody, the other party will not tell the truth.
This silver was originally scavenged from the people of the Ming Dynasty, and it was dirty silver obtained from corruption and bribery, and Zhou Shixian now just wanted to take it back and use it to save the country.
It's just that without waiting for Chen Yan to think about it, the rope that was originally tied to him was untied. Chen Yan had already been frightened to the point that his legs were weak, and at this time, he was directly paralyzed on the ground, and his lips kept trembling.
But Zhou Shixian didn't care about him, he directly asked him to lift him up, pulled out a right hand, tied it back to the pillar, and then pulled out the exquisite embroidered spring knife on his waist.
"You...... You guys, you are Jinyi Wei ......" Chen Yan looked at Zhou Shixian, who drew his sword and walked towards him, and suddenly reacted, and then the momentum suddenly changed, and the official authority came out all of a sudden.
"You guys are so bold, you dare to trespass into the old man's house, and tie up the old man, do you still have the royal law in your eyes? Listen to the old man one by one, today's matter, this is the end, and the old man will not pursue it. Otherwise...... Otherwise, I will never spare you. ”
Although Chen Yan is incompetent, he still has some common sense, and he knows that these Jinyi guards are acting like this, and there is absolutely no warrant from Chongzhen.
Maybe it's because he is used to being rampant on weekdays, but now that he is in a dead situation, and the other party is a member of the court, his last straw is the official authority that no longer exists.
Zhou Shixian listened to the other party's words, and suddenly felt hateful and funny. This old guy is now dying, but he still wants to bully others, and even Jinyiwei wants to bully, which is simply absurd.
You must know that the Ming Dynasty has fallen to this point, and these civil officials have to bear a lot of responsibility.
Not only in the court, but also in the army.
If it weren't for the fact that they never took the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty seriously on weekdays, calling them "Qiu Ba", watching them starve to death, die of cold, weapons and armor, military salaries, grain and grass, and be greedy if they could, how could the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty be so defeated repeatedly?
"Humph!" Zhou Shixian snorted coldly, then ripped off his black mask, and then slashed down at Chen Yan's arm: "Dog, Lao Tzu is a colt!" ”
"Ah!!h A miserable scream resounded through the hall of the Chen Mansion, and a blood stain splashed to the ground with a "bang".
In this world, if you want to survive and win, you have to be ruthless and decisive. Zhou Shixian understands these truths, and he will never be indecisive in doing things, let alone soft-hearted.
If such a person is not killed, will he stay for the New Year?
