Chapter 460 "King" of "Fengtian Advocacy"

In fact, in the past, after breaking through various cities, Chuang Wang Li Zicheng would often lead the generals and soldiers around him, waving the flowered horse sword and riding the oolong horse amidst the sound of killing. , together with his siege troops rushed directly into the city gate.

Although occasionally he entered the city once or twice after victory, but at that time it was relatively casual, and after he entered the city, the common people in the city hardly knew about it.

However, today is different. This is the first time since the uprising that he changed the way of entering the city on his own initiative. His military appearance.

For this reason, he also specially selected [-] strong and strong soldiers from the Chinese military camp guarding the Xingyuan of Zhougong Temple. Tasseled spear.

Before Chuang Wang Li Zicheng entered Henan, his Chuang army had been running and fighting on the rugged roads in the mountains almost all year round. It was inconvenient for them to carry long weapons, so they used knives, swords, bows, and crossbows as their main combat weapons. People often say "quick horse and light knife".

But since he led the army into Henan, great changes have taken place in the geographical environment and military situation of the battle, so a large number of spears, big sticks, etc. have also appeared in the various ministries of the Chuang army.

Now Li Zicheng took a detour from Zhougong Temple to the south gate of Luoyang and entered the city. At the forefront of the procession were three hundred cavalry armed with long spears, and they rode forward every four.

Chuang Wang Li Zicheng brought Niu Jinxing, the head of his civil servants, Song Xiance, the military adviser, and Li Yan, a Confucian general, in the middle. Behind them was a large group of armored personal soldiers and generals who rode their horses to follow.

The barrels and heads of the spears held by the soldiers are of the same length. The soldiers are riding on the horses, holding the reins with their left hands, and holding the guns in their right hands. It stands upright, so under the sun in the deep winter, it really looks like a forest of spears, fluctuating with the walking of the horse.

The scarlet fringe on the sharpened gun head, the silver gun, the white-maned "Chuang" flag and the red umbrella and silver pagoda following behind Chuang Wang Li Zicheng are also particularly dazzling in the sun.

As early as Sishi, there were Chuangjun in Luoyang City beating gongs and shouting loudly everywhere, asking the people in the city to go to the south gate of Luoyang to welcome Chuang Wang into the city.

But it wasn't until the main force of the invading army entered the city and began to maintain order that the killing and looting in the city gradually subsided, and many bold people dared to go out and wait and see what happened.

Many of the people in the city had been bullied by officials and gentry before, and they already hated the palace and the government and gentry on weekdays. They regarded King Chuang as a savior.

But most of the people in the city, Ha Ai, had the mentality of watching the excitement. They were curious, and they also wished to see what the famous King Li Chuang was like sooner!
Due to the large number of people in the city, there were too many people crowded outside the South Gate, and there was almost no place to set foot, so many people gathered in groups, supporting the old and the young, to the bank of the Luo River to welcome King Chuang.

At about [-]:[-] a.m., there were exclamations of surprise among the many people waiting on both sides of the Luo River.

"Look, here it comes... here it comes!"

"Yes...it's King Chuang...he's here..."

People watched the "Chuang" banner gradually approaching, and they all knelt on the ground by coincidence. Everyone raised their heads to watch the cavalry in front of the Chuangwang banner ride past.

Just when the three hundred cavalrymen with guns rode past them, the bolder man knelt on the ground and asked beside him in a low voice:

"Which one is Lord Chuang? Which one is... why haven't I seen the one wearing the yellow dragon robe..."

Someone on the ground next to him whispered back: "Prince Chuang hasn't reached the pole yet, why is he wearing a yellow dragon robe..."

"Then there should be a yellow dragon umbrella...to cover Prince Chuang...isn't there a pumpkin, an axe, a stirrup in front...whatever..."

"Hush! Don't make a sound... here it is... here it is... in front of you..."

Generals Liu Zongmin, Yuan Zongdi, and Li Guo in the Chuang army under Li Zicheng's command were all waiting outside Nanguan, and they went forward to ride into the city with Li Zicheng and others.

Surrounded by many generals, King Chuang passed through the South Pass, and saw that the shops along the street were already open for business. There were incense tables in front of each door, with various dried fruits, hot tea and hot rice porridge on them.

On the door of every house, there is even a word "Shun" written in yellow paper, or the word "Shunmin", and most of the people kneeling by the roadside to greet him also have a "Shun" on their hats. "Shun" word.

In the past two or three years, Li Zicheng has also thought a little bit. Sometimes he also wonders if he can win the Ming dynasty and establish a new dynasty by himself in the future, what kind of country name should he use?

At this moment today, the three words "Da Shun Chao" suddenly flashed in his mind!

At the same time, he even thought of the idiom "Ying Tian Shun Ren", but he didn't have a chance to think about it, so he rode his horse to the south gate of Luoyang.

Li Zicheng looked up and saw that the city wall was very high, the tower was majestic, and there was a bluestone plaque above the city gate, with the three characters "Changxia Gate" engraved on it.

He had just seen these three big characters clearly, and the Oolong horse under his crotch had already carried him into the city gate!

…………

Everyone's attention was focused on Chuang Wang Li Zicheng himself, as well as the generals and soldiers of the Chuang army who accompanied him into the city. No one had noticed that a young man in a worn-out felt hat and a worn-out padded jacket was shrinking his hands. In the sleeve, it seems to pinch fingers to calculate something.

The other people around him were watching the invading army, mumbling something, but they were covered by the noisy voices and the neighing of war horses, so outsiders couldn't hear anything.

They also got up together with the common people, squeezed among the crowd and followed Chuang Wang Li Zicheng all the way, and finally stopped in front of the Yamen of the patrol office. Bao Jiqiang looked around and said to several people: "Go to the corner of the street. Squat over there, you go back to Zhang's house and report to Master Tong what you saw just now, let's go, let's go to the tea shop over there to hear new things."

As they spoke, they moved separately. Bao Jiqiang only took a few steps here, but saw a familiar figure flashing past the corner of the street. The tea shop is watching, let's do something!"

After Bao Jiqiang finished speaking, he turned to the other side of the street, dodged into the Tiantian alley next to the street, dangled and hid in the shadow of the courtyard wall, and disappeared.
