Wang Dan looked at this leader of the Jinyi Guard who had several connections with him in surprise, he never imagined that Chongzhen would actually order the guards to kill all the homeless.

That's tens of thousands of lives, and they're just peasants who have laid down their arms.

There is another order in the holy decree that Wang Dan should dismiss all the hungry people who follow him on the spot, otherwise Wang Dan will be plotting against him and raising thieves for himself.

Why doesn't Chongzhen believe in me so much, we don't want to know what kind of golden toilet, as a person in the 21st century, living a comfortable and rich life is everyone's greatest wish, when the high-ranking official is too tired, the higher the position, the worse the person falls.

But looking at the appearance of those brocade guards, if you don't kill the homeless, you will have to go to the edict prison to see the relics of the high-ranking officials' predecessors.

Wang Dan only hesitated for a few seconds, and he finally refused, "Please go and tell the emperor, I don't dare to kill these peasants who laid down their arms, those hungry people just follow me to eat, and I can't drive them to starve to death and freeze to death, please let the emperor let these people go!"

Zhang Qianzhong sneered a few times, and said in the dark, "General Bing Wang will not coerce these hundreds of thousands of people to kill the Jingshi all the way to the capital without hindrance!"

Wang Dan said angrily: "**Fart, Lao Tzu has a good life in Zhaojiabao, it's not that you want to call Lao Tzu to cut people, if you are not satisfied with my way of doing things, then Lao Tzu will not play with you, I want to go back to Zhaojiabao, please do it!"

After speaking, Wang Dan sat on the chair by himself and was silent, and he didn't take it.

Zhang Qianzhong looked at Wang Dan in shock, and Mu Mu said, "Wang Zongbing, you don't really want to betray the Ming Dynasty, this is a disloyal thing that has been stinking for thousands of years, and you must not make a mistake and hate it for eternity!"

Wang Dan replied helplessly, "I never thought of betraying the Ming Dynasty, I just didn't want to kill innocents. ”

Zhang Qianzhong showed a sudden expression, but said in embarrassment, "The chief soldier doesn't want to kill those chaotic people, but in the eyes of the hundreds of officials in the court, you are just supporting the army." This is how the emperor does not doubt the loyalty of the chief soldier. ”

Wang Dan said indifferently, "Doubt it, believe it, anyway, I have to go back to Zhaojiabao, so please ask the emperor to see the credit for me killing Zhang Xianzhong for Daming, and don't come to me again." ”

Zhang Qianzhong hurriedly said, "The chief soldier must not be like this, you are the emperor's most dependent courtier, and now the Ming Dynasty will rely on you to support it, so let's do it, in order not to cause unnecessary conflicts, you still go with me to explain to the emperor in person." How is it. ”

Wang Dan thought about seeing the real emperor again, and he was also a little moved in his heart, ordinary people can see the emperor several times in their lives.

However, thinking about the words of self-respect and conspiracy in Chongzhen's holy decree, a terrifying picture seemed to appear in front of Wang Dan's eyes, a Ming army general was tied up, and the people around him scrambled to eat the flesh on his body, and the general just couldn't help sighing.

Suddenly, the skeleton general turned his head to look at this side, and suddenly Wang Dan woke up from his hallucination. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead again, and suddenly, he saw the essence in Zhang Qianzhong's eyes, and Wang Dan hurriedly shouted, "I'm not going." I'm not going!"

Zhang Quanzhong said in embarrassment, "If you don't explain to the emperor, I'm afraid that it will attract other Ming troops to attack, and then the matter will be unclear, and you will have a rebellious reputation!"

Wang Dan stared at Zhang Qianzhong and said, "Please go and explain the situation to the emperor." He said that I went home to care for the elderly, and never asked about the world again, and asked him to let me and my family go back to my hometown!"

Zhang Qianzhong saw that Wang Dan did not hide the slightest killing intent. Nodding knowingly, he said, "I will try my best to explain it to the emperor, but please think about the consequences before you do anything!"

Wang Dan thought with hatred in his heart, "I think very clearly, I am a good person, I haven't even killed a chicken in the original world, and after coming to the end of the Ming Dynasty, I killed those people all in self-defense, and I came out to fight the murderous demon king just to save some innocent people, and I didn't want to fight for the world, but I was almost coaxed to cut meat, this is too dangerous in the late Ming Dynasty, I'll go back to Zhaojiabao." ”

The brocade guards left the guard camp in a gloomy manner, and Li Dingguo and his original subordinates learned that Wang Dan was going to take them to the territory outside the Guanwai without being stabbed, and everyone immediately cheered.

Those hungry people also asked Wang Dan to take them in, this Ming is full of fires, there is no place to live, or follow the god general who can defeat even the Tartars.

Wang Dan saw that those hungry people wanted to be his subjects too much, so he reluctantly accepted them, and it was not bad to be a super big landlord.

Listening to hundreds of thousands of people cheering in unison, Zhang Qianzhong gritted his teeth and looked in the direction of the guards.

When he sent back to the capital the news that Wang had coerced hundreds of thousands of displaced people to disobey Chongzhen's orders, the news was also discovered by other major forces at the same time.

The world was shaken again, not only did Wang Dan use a thousand cavalry to charge straight to the Great Western Army and kill Zhang Xianzhong, but he suddenly had hundreds of thousands of troops and might have to join the war for the Central Plains.

After receiving the report, Chongzhen immediately issued an edict, saying that he didn't trust his courtiers enough, wasn't diligent enough, or something, but the people of the world regarded it as a fart from God.

Li Zicheng laughed and shouted, "The world is even more chaotic, poor people, hurry up and overthrow Zhu Ming, I promise not to collect rent!" After the military meeting, he hid in his small private treasure house and counted the treasures excitedly.

After Da Yu'er's legendary gentleness, Dolgon had also woken up, and on the hospital bed, he heard Fan Wencheng's report on the new situation of the escort army, and chuckled, "It's just a small thing, that Zhaojiabao seems to be a lot bigger, but in fact, it is already the end of the strong crossbow, and I can destroy it at any time in the Qing Dynasty." We shouldn't put too much energy on this small township, pay more attention to the situation of Zhu Mingchao in Guannei, I think Chongzhen forced a only warlike general this time, he can't hold out for long!"

"Hehehehehe"

Dolgon and Fan Wencheng looked at each other and laughed, looking like sophisticated people with scheming.

After the escort army walked out of Henan, the Ming army suddenly followed behind, and the number soon became a million, but the Ming army only dared to follow from afar.

Wang Dan also wanted to leave Daming, but the hundreds of thousands of hungry people behind him who dragged their families and mouths still had to rely on their own food distribution to live, if they were abandoned and moved forward easily, although the guards could leave Daming faster, but in this cold winter season, these hungry people had no way to get food.

There was no way, looking at the hundreds of thousands of pairs of longing eyes behind him, Wang Dan couldn't bear to leave them after all.

Wang Dan thought that when these hungry people arrived in a province that was not so barren, they would leave on their own to live in peace and security. But not only did the hungry people not disperse, but tens of thousands of Ming people joined the team.

Traveling slowly all the way, Wang Dan was annoyed by this slow marching speed, and simply pulled Li Dingguo to practice martial arts.

Under the feeding of the master, Wang Dan's own strength and speed are already very strong, and after practice, his skills are more proficient, and even Li Dingguo said that as long as Wang Dan practices for another year, he will definitely become one of the top ten masters in the world.

In their spare time, the two discussed the current situation in the world, and Wang Dan was unconsciously set up with many theories of later generations.

Walked for more than two months. The escort army finally came to the vicinity of the Beijing Division, and as the black and suppressed sea of hungry people followed the escort army to slowly approach the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army that was originally following behind actually disappeared.

Wang Dan sent cavalry to inquire about the situation, and searched for hundreds of miles before finding the Ming army that was pursuing the escort army hard, but they traveled ten miles a day, which was a little slower than the hungry people who dragged their families and mouths.

For the strange behavior of the Ming army, Wang Dan sighed and couldn't understand, he even wondered if these Ming troops didn't even want their emperor, if he really attacked Chongzhen. I am afraid that history will be very different, but Wang Dan immediately eliminated this thought, he must respect history, and more importantly, changing history indiscriminately may affect his original world.

Think of the times that you already know have become unrecognizable. Wang Dan felt terrible.

Wang Dan ordered the guards and hungry people to stay away from the Beijing area as much as possible, but the team of hundreds of thousands of people was too large, and the people of the capital could still see the dust from the huge flow of people rising on the distant horizon.

"Hey, I didn't expect that the person our emperor values would be Dong Zhuo. This Da Ming is really exhausted!"

"That is, after so many years in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid it is time for a new dynasty to change. ”

"Hmph. If that Dong Zhuo dares to enter the city, and we drown him with a mouthful of foam, I hate this kind of usurper the traitor the most!"

"Who said no, how can a Ming courtier be so rebellious and self-reliant, even if it succeeds, it will leave a reputation for eternity!"

All the people echoed in unison, and suddenly a foreigner whispered to the people in the city, "Have you heard of King Chuang's policy of governing the world, that is the master who really thinks about our poor people!"

"You mean the sage ballad of King Chuang, if King Chuang can really do what is in the ballad, we will be blessed. ”

"Yes, yes, King Chuang is not paid, this sentence goes to our hearts, if King Chuang enters Beijing, I will serve the ancestral tea at home and welcome the king. ”

"I also want to cook a big pot of porridge for our Wang Shi, they are very hard to save us, the common people, I heard that the rice is not good. ”

..................

The people talked about how to welcome King Chuang after entering the city, and their voices unconsciously became louder, and the Ming soldiers guarding the city next to them turned a blind eye, and the people spoke even more boldly.

The foreigner who mentioned King Chuang left the city with a strange smile, and he had to go to other places in Beijing to continue to talk about King Chuang unintentionally.

There are many such people.

Wang Dan did not know that the residents of Beijing were planning to welcome King Chuang to Beijing, and if he entered Beijing, he would be scolded by them.

This is the brand effect of Chuang Wang Ge, Wang Dan will not.

All kinds of undercurrents in the capital are surging, in the dead silence of the Ming Palace, Chongzhen knelt in the Taizong Temple for a long time, in front of him is Zhu Yuanzhang and those Ming emperors of the spirit card.

The eunuchs and palace maids in the entire palace couldn't help but convey the news that Wang Reyi's army had arrived ten miles outside the capital, and all the people in the palace were shouting for their lives.

Hearing these subordinates who only cared about fleeing for their lives when the capital was about to be breached by the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen didn't feel sad from it.

He bowed his head to the ancestral spirit card several times, and said sadly, "I have been working hard for 17 years, and I have ended up like this! I have no shame to see the ancestors and the ancestors!" Chongzhen cried even more and knelt down again and shouted; "I have no face to see the ancestors and the ancestors!"

After crying for a long time, the temple was as silent as ever, only the lighting candles flickered and sighed.

Wang Chengen entered the spiritual temple dedicated to the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and saw Chongzhen crying out of shape, so as to avoid Chongzhen's disgrace, he coughed lightly behind the curtain.

"Who!

Chongzhen was so frightened that he sat down on the kneeling mat and asked in fear.

Wang Chengen hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, you are a minion. Then he stepped forward and helped Chongzhen up.

Chongzhen put his heart at ease and said, "I thought it was Wang Dan who came. ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly reported what he wanted to say, "The edict written by the emperor to Pingxibo Wu Sangui has been sent away, and he will definitely rush to King Qin after receiving the edict, and the crisis in Beijing will be solved immediately." ”

Chongzhen was comforted by Wang Chengen and calmed down a little, and he said again, "What is the result of asking the civil and military officials to donate money?"

Wang Chengen replied bitterly, "Only a few eunuchs in the inner court have donated silver taels, and all of these civil and military generals are iron roosters. Not a dime!"

Chongzhen gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "The hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China are deeply favored by me on weekdays, but they all retreat at a critical moment, and the so-called loyal ministers are all fake!" After a pause, Chongzhen said in a low voice, "I am blind, and I have raised a bunch of ruthless and unrighteous corrupt officials, mediocre officials, and bad officials, I am really angry!"

Wang Chengen came up with another idea and said, "Your Majesty, you might as well set a number and apportionment it to every official, if you refuse to hand over the full amount of silver." Dismiss their officials!"

Chongzhen no longer had much hope for the hundreds of officials who had been preparing to fly separately for a long time, he thought for a while and said, "Spread the decree, if the detained criminals donate money, the punishment can be reduced, as long as they are willing to donate money, the death row prisoners can not die, and those who donate more than two silvers will be exempted from all crimes!"

Wang Chengen was very sad when he saw Chongzhen's decision to get the criminals to pay to eliminate the crime. He also persuaded, "Your Majesty, at this time, all civil and military officials are waiting for the prince to go to court in front of the palace. ”

Chongzhen said weakly, "I don't want to see these ruthless and unrighteous things!"

Wang Chengen still persuaded: "Your Majesty, this!"

Chongzhen still decided to meet the hundred officials, and he said to Wang Chengen, "Prepare for it." Go to the court, go to the court, and listen to their ideas for retreating from the enemy!" After speaking, he hurriedly walked outside the mourning hall, and Wang Chengen hurriedly followed.

In the Wenhua Palace, the officials still gave a big salute to Chongzhen. Then I saw a minister come out and say to Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, the military situation is urgent, wait for the army of Pingxibo Wu Sangui to come to the rescue." I'm afraid it's too late, so it's better to move the capital to Nanjing immediately!"

Chongzhen hesitated for a moment, but still said, "The mausoleum of the Zongmiao is here, how can I go!"

The minister also persuaded: "The emperor is out of Beijing for a while, the dragon and the tiger leap, and the world is lucky in the palm of his hand, if he sits in Beijing, I am afraid that it will be harmful and useless to stick to the dangerous city!"

Chongzhen said firmly, "If I am a grass people, just carry a burden and flee, the royal family is huge, and it is not easy to move away together, leaving behind the ancestral foundation and the ladies of the inner court, will it not be infamous through the ages!"

Another minister said: "It's not appropriate to move south, then there is only one way, the army and people of the Beijing division have the same hatred for the enemy, and the thief army will fight a decisive battle, as long as it drags on for a few days, Wu Sangui Qinwang's army arrives, and the inside and outside should be united, and the thief soldiers will retreat without a fight!"

Chongzhen's brows stretched slightly, and he said loudly, "Jiangshan Sheji, the danger is at stake, and the ministers can have a good plan to break the thief." ”

The civil and military officials of the entire hall all retracted into the queue, all with expressions of forgetting to eat brain platinum today, and they didn't seem to have any good ideas.

After waiting for a while, Chongzhen saw that no one came out from the hundred officials, so he said angrily, "On weekdays, all the ministers are like a river, why are they speechless at this time!"

When the officials heard that they were ridiculed by the outdated boss, they were also a little uneasy, and an old minister came out and said to Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, except for moving south, the war and defense have been exhausted, and there is nothing to be done!"

Chongzhen took a deep breath and said, "Is there anyone among the civil and military officials who is willing to stand up and take command to resist the enemy!"

The officials hurriedly shrank their heads and dealt with it silently.

Chongzhen smiled slightly bitterly, and seeing that the hundred officials were determined to protect themselves, Chongzhen finally opened his mouth and reprimanded, "I, not the king of the dead country, all the ministers are the ministers of the dead country!" After speaking, he got up and glanced at the hundred officials indifferently, and then left the Wenhua Hall in the routine chanting of the hundred officials.

That night, the guards camped to rest, and at this time, hundreds of thousands of hungry people received dinner and found a place to rest, but as soon as there were many people, they inevitably approached the city of Beijing

After receiving the news that Wang Danjun's army was approaching, Chongzhen ordered: "Ring the bell, summon hundreds of civil and military officials to enter the palace, and I will personally recruit!"

The Jingyang bell, which urgently summoned the ministers to the palace, kept ringing, but only a few old ministers came to the main hall.

Chongzhen angrily asked, "The bell has been ringing for a long time, why are you old ministers only here, are those officials all deaf!"

An old minister said to Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, the thief army is about to attack the city, and the civil and military officials are in a hurry to flee for their lives, where will they go to the court to see the king!"

Chongzhen said in a panic, "Quickly summon the eunuchs and Jinyi guards in the inner court, form a death squad and defend the palace!"

An old minister advised Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the trees are falling and the macaques are scattered, the eunuchs are hiding and hiding, hiding and hiding, and no one is willing to fight to fight!"

Wang Chengen hurriedly said to Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, the slave is willing to escape from Beijing with you on your back, as long as the emperor is safe, the Ming Dynasty will not die!"

The old minister said again, "Your Majesty, the rebel thief king's hundreds of thousands of troops are less than ten miles away from the city, and now only birds can escape!"

Wang Chengen hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the slave has the confidence to take you out!"

Chongzhen stopped his words and said, "Okay, don't say it anymore, the monarch is dead, the righteousness of righteousness, I will never think about him again, but among the hated monarchs and ministers, no one will die from the ear!"

Wang Chengen felt the despair and sadness in Chongzhen's tone, and said to Chongzhen with deep feelings, "The slave is willing to go all the way with the emperor!"

Chongzhen was silent for a long time, and the few old ministers who only saw that Chongzhen was already waiting for death, so they said goodbye to Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, the old ministers will go home first to take care of the aftermath." Seeing that Chongzhen was silent, they went out by themselves.

After a long time, Chongzhen shed tears of despair, slowly raised his head and said to the night sky outside the hall, "I have been in the dynasty for 17 years, respecting the heavens and ancestors, diligent and accepting the people day and night to seek governance, not daring to slack off, but I am not the king of the country, all the ministers in the court have mistaken the country, and I am mistaken!"

Chongzhen shouted to the night sky of Hesse again, "Heaven, heaven!"

Speaking loudly about the unwillingness in his heart, Chongzhen also made up his mind to let the queen's concubines die for the country, but the princes should hide in the people, and there may be hope of recovering the country in the future.

Just as Chongzhen called Wang Chengen to carry out the idea in his heart, suddenly a eunuch rushed in and shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the King outside the city has called for someone to send a letter!"

Chongzhen said angrily, "Shut up, it's Wang Rebellion!"

The eunuch replied curtly, "Yes, Wang Dazhi asked someone to send a letter, and specifically explained that he took the people who had no food to go out to live, and he did not have the slightest malice towards the emperor, please don't do impulsive things." ”

Chongzhen sneered a few times and shouted, "He didn't have bad intentions, so he went into the palace to explain to me." ”

The eunuch just looked at Chongzhen blankly, not knowing how to answer.

Affected by Wang Dan's letter, Chongzhen forgot to kill his wife and daughter for a while.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Chongzhen opened the letter and saw a few words written.

"Your Majesty, don't be impulsive, I'm just going home and passing by, I'll take these people away when I eat, so as not to worry that I will come in, and thank you for letting me eat and drink in the palace for a few days, the royal banquet is really good, the queen is a good woman, the princes are also very smart, Princess Changping is too naughty, I wish your family can live in peace, don't come to me in the future, then goodbye."

Chongzhen looked at the nondescript letter in his hand, and suddenly breathed a great sigh of relief in his heart, although he still suspected that this was Wang Dan's delaying tactic, but at this time, he hoped that he had misunderstood Wang Dan, and this courtier who returned from overseas was actually a big loyal minister.

Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair silently overnight, and he made up his mind that if the king dared to attack the city, he would die and die for the country.

The sky is gradually brightening, Chongzhen stared at the sky outside the palace gate with bloodshot eyes, he thought a lot in his heart this night, Brother Emperor of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian, Huang Taiji, Dolgon, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Yuan Chonghuan who thought of it at the end, this person kept floating in his mind, and he didn't know what else to do at this time.

Suddenly, a eunuch shouted in surprise outside the hall: "Good news, General Wang led the army to Shanhaiguan, they will not attack the city!"

Chongzhen stood up in disbelief and asked the eunuch who was shouting from a long distance, "Are you saying that Wang Zhenhe has left, and they will not come to attack the city?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, General Wang has already led his troops to the mountain and set off, and he has not rebelled against my Daming. (To be continued......)
