The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 756 I am for the people of the world

But soon, Auntie Zhu suddenly felt ashamed, I, what was I thinking, my father and queen just left, how could I think about these messy things, Auntie Zhu felt ashamed of her own thoughts, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt Can't help it, Ding Yi's appearance often appears in her little head.

Riding a tall white horse, facing the wind, standing against the wind, is a gentleman.

"Squeak" suddenly came a sound from above his head.

Several people's expressions changed drastically, and they were quite nervous.

After a while, a bright light appeared from above, Fang Junshan climbed down slowly, and said with a smile: "The Chuang army has been defeated, and there is chaos in the city."

"I heard that Li Yan wants to surrender, and he is waiting for the troops of King Zhenbei to arrive. It should be fine. Come up, everyone."

The underground kiln was full of cheers, and everyone stayed there for several days, but they couldn't stand it anymore, and they hurried up to climb up.

When they came up, they found that the rice shop in front of them was in a mess, and all the rice in the shop had been robbed. Fortunately, the army did not hurt them.

After Fang Junshan came in, he honestly gave them all the money.

After Chuangjun finished the robbery, he searched again and found that there was no money left, so he pasted a piece of yellow paper on their door with "Shun" written on it, and there was no Chuangjun to harass them afterwards, so they escaped a catastrophe.

"Now that the Chuang army has been defeated, the city is a bit chaotic. Li Yan is trying to appease all parties, so we can't go out yet." Fang Junshan's voice had just finished.

Bang, someone knocked on the door suddenly.

Several people's faces changed drastically again.

"Go down, go down quickly." Fang Junshan hurriedly told them to go down.

Several hurriedly ran into the room.

Then they drilled under the bed one by one, the entrance was just under the bed, and a few big bricks had to be removed.

Voices quickly sounded outside, and then someone ran over and pushed open the door: "It's my own."

Aimee Zhu, Gong Yonggu and others went out, and saw a strong group of about ten people, all armed with weapons and dressed in common people's clothes, were outside.

"Song Rui, the king of Zhenbei, pays respects to the princess." Song Rui took the lead to pay respects to Princess Kunxing.

Princess Kunxing was stunned for a moment, then nodded joyfully: "General Song is free, get up quickly."

She almost blurted out and asked, has King Zhenbei entered the capital?

"The city is a bit chaotic right now. We are afraid of chaos caused by soldiers, so come here to protect the princess. If you persist, the prince will enter Beijing soon."

Song Rui led people into the house, and then blocked all the doors of the rice shop in front.

After they returned to the room, they vaguely heard what Fang Junshan and Song Rui were talking about.

It seems that there are words such as prince and princess.

Aimee Zhu couldn't help but think of her elder brother, Zhu Cihong. She heard that he was in Li Zicheng's hands, so she wondered if there was anything wrong.

After a while, Song Rui and Fang Junshan returned to the room.

Song Rui looked up at Zeng Rou.

Zeng Rou looked at Gong Yonggu again.

Gong Yonggu and his wife looked at each other, and it was still Princess Le'an Zhu Huiti. At this time, she held up Princess Kunxing's little hand and said with a soft smile, "The princess' husband is going to the city soon, and the princess is going to get married."

Auntie Zhu blushed, but soon said sadly: "Father and emperor will be buried in heaven, and mother and queen will go away, so Auntie Zhu is in the mood."

Tears rolled down my face.

"You can't think like that, Aimee." Gong Yonggu said anxiously: "At a time when the country is in crisis, how can you forget the public because of personal interests? Where do you put the Ming Dynasty? How can you face the late emperor?"

Auntie Zhu stared at her big beautiful eyes with an innocent look on her face. Gong Yonggu's words were too high-level.

"What should I—Ben Gong—do?" Auntie Zhu stammered, not knowing why my uncle said it so seriously.

"The prince is now in the hands of the bandit army, and his life or death is unknown."

"The princess also knows what the nobles of Ming Dynasty look like."

"The first emperor asked them to donate money, and one by one pushed three times and four times. As a result, when Li Zicheng came to Beijing, he forced tens of millions of taels."

"With so much money, how did Daming get so corrupted?"

Auntie Zhu cried: "Father has said many times that they are the ones who wronged the country and the great Ming Dynasty."

Of course she also heard about Chongzhen's request for money, and the mother and grandfather Zhou Kui also gave the money.

As a result, Zhou Kui, who kept saying he had no money, took out hundreds of thousands after Li Zicheng entered Beijing.

Aimee Zhu hated these ministers to death.

Gong Yonggu said again: "After King Zhenbei entered Beijing, he must rectify the government and stabilize the situation, but the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are not things, and they must be hindered in the name of justice."

"If the princess doesn't marry King Zhenbei as soon as possible, the king of Zhenbei will be born without a name, how will the government be stabilized."

"I'm afraid that the ministers will ask Zhenbei King to lead troops out of Beijing to hunt down the bandits."

"At that time, those cabinet officials will control the court again. I, Daming, just got out of the fire pit, and then fell into the mud pit."

Auntie Zhu's complexion changed slightly.

Princess Le'an Zhu Huiti also hurriedly said: "We must not let the incompetent people in the cabinet speak up."

Aimee Zhu is just a 16-year-old girl, so she doesn't know much about state affairs, but what the uncle and his wife said seems to make sense.

The Ming Dynasty was governed by a cabinet, and if the King of Zhenbei had no name, how would he deal with himself.

If the crown prince Zhu Cihong is here at this meeting, he will probably think about it, the son-in-law can't manage state affairs, you can leave after fighting, who will let you stay in the capital.

But Auntie Zhu is very insecure now, her parents are both dead, and she desperately needs a safe backer.

Thinking about it this way, King Zhenbei must stay in the capital.

"The commanding general cannot stay in the capital. After King Zhenbei marries the princess, he can rest assured that the military power will be handed over to the prince, and he will accompany the princess in the capital from now on." Gong Yonggu said in a good voice.

Hearing the word "companion", Auntie Zhu blushed slightly and lowered her head shyly.

Her voice also sounded very quickly, but it was very small: "But it's up to aunt and uncle to decide."

Song Rui was overjoyed and soon left alone.

After he went out, there were many soldiers on the street outside, most of them were Ding Yi's soldiers and horses. It turned out that Ding Yi's soldiers and horses had already entered Beijing at this moment.

He waved his hand, and a group of people came from a distance, wearing Chuangjun's clothes.

"Stay at the door and don't let anyone out," Song Rui said.

"promise."

Song Rui got on his horse and left quickly.

He soon came to another house.

This is another stronghold of the Intelligence Division.

It's the same after entering, there is a secret room in a certain room.

He carefully opened the lid and stepped underneath.

It was pitch black below, not even a candle was lit.

When he went down, someone asked tremblingly, "Is it General Song?"

"His Royal Highness, it's me." Song Rui went down, took out the flint, and quickly lit a candle.

In Nuo Da's underground kiln, the prince Zhu Cihong looked terrified, curled up at the head of the pit, and covered his body with a quilt.

"Why didn't His Royal Highness light the fire?" Song Rui laughed secretly in his heart, Zhu Cihong probably felt that only those who were in the dark would have a sense of security.

No one else can see him.

"It's okay, it's okay, Xiao Wang is used to it in prison." Zhu Cihong's expression was extremely ugly.

"Your Highness, don't worry, the King of Zhenbei's army will soon conquer the capital, and then he may go out in an open and honest manner."

"So what if you go out?" Zhu Cihong's expression was bleak, the country was ruined and his family was destroyed outside, and there were still a group of courtiers.

"A country cannot be without a king for a day. All the ministers and the people of Ming Dynasty are waiting for His Highness."

"Where is there a minister?" Zhu Cihong's young face was full of anger when he heard this.

When Li Zicheng entered Beijing, all the officials bowed their heads, and the officials persuaded him to enter, one by one scrambling to threaten to pledge allegiance to the new master.

Song Rui thought about it silently, and then sighed, "That's right, my loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, hey——" With a long sigh, Song Rui blinked suddenly, and tears rolled out uncontrollably.

When Zhu Cihong heard this and saw Song Rui's red eyes, he couldn't help but trembled in his heart, and asked desolately, "What about the ministers?"

All the ministers he asked at this time were of course loyal to Daming.

Song Rui cried loudly and knelt down on the ground: "Li Shangshu, the official department, went on a hunger strike for seven days."

"Ni Shangshu of the household department and Li Duxian, the censor of Zuodu, all voted."

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Bachelor of Fan University went on a hunger strike for three days and threw themselves into a well to die for the country."

"My loyal ministers of Ming Dynasty have all gone with the sage." Song Rui broke down in tears.

Zhu Cihong couldn't collapse anymore, hugged Song Rui, and cried loudly.

These four cabinet ministers are also the four most spineless civil servants under Chongzhen.

Zhu Cihong thought of all the officials kowtowing to Li Zicheng, and four important ministers died for the country one after another, the more he thought about it, the more he hated him.

Song Rui cried and said at this time: "If I am loyal and brave in both civil and military affairs in the Ming and Manchu Dynasties, why is this so?"

Zhu Cihong cried even louder, clenched his fists tightly, trembling all over, and then thought of what his father said before he was alive, all the ministers misled me, and felt more reasonable.

Song Rui continued to cry: "I heard that Li Zicheng was outside and rewarded tens of millions of silver. The courtiers of Ming Dynasty, His Majesty asked them to give money, but there was nothing. Li Zicheng came and gave him tens of millions of silver faster than anyone else. How many elite soldiers can be trained?"

It's fine if Song Rui doesn't say this, but when he said this, Zhu Cihong finally couldn't help it, the veins on his young face popped up: "These ungrateful bastards surrender faster than anyone else, Xiao Wang can't take it They all killed."

"I'm going to kill them all, kill, kill, kill—" Zhu Cihong went crazy.

Song Rui lowered his head with a smile in his eyes.
-
Go back in time for two days, back to the time when Li Zicheng was defeated by Ding Yi.

Ding Yi was still in the camp opposite the Lugou Bridge at this time, and had not crossed the river.

The victory of the Ming army is a foregone conclusion, and he will soon enter the capital.

The hinterland of Daming's capital, where the emperor is, the land of Longxing, is already beckoning to him.

The throne of Ming Dynasty also seems to be within easy reach.

He stood on the bank of the Lugou River, looking in the direction of the capital, feeling extremely excited.

Since time travel, from a small soldier to the present, ten years of hard work and countless painstaking efforts, it seems that half of the success is about to be achieved.

In his previous life, Lao Tzu was an excellent national cadre, serving the people wholeheartedly, being honest, honest, and sincere. After arriving in Ming Dynasty, he became able to do anything for the sake of profit.

What is the purpose of Lao Tzu's change?
Is this the kind of person I was originally?

No, Laozi is for the people of the world.

Ding Yi quickly found a suitable excuse for himself.

I became like this and made the right choice, not only to allow me to survive in this troubled world, but also for the people of the world.

Now, for the sake of the people in the world, we must do all the following things well.

It must not be so unbearable like Li Zicheng.

Hold on, hold on, don't get excited.

Ding Yi was just a low-level military officer in his previous life, and now he is about to become an emperor suddenly, and he is really excited.

But wanting to be an emperor is not so simple.

The Ming Dynasty still existed in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Zicheng was not destroyed, and there was still the Qing Dynasty outside the pass.

Ding Yi closed his eyes slightly, thinking over and over again in his mind.

Li Zicheng ran very fast just now, but Ding Yi's soldiers and horses did not stop him. Now he finally understands why Li Zicheng likes to fight in the field and does not want to defend the city.

If you can't fight in the field, you can run. Li Zicheng has fought with the Ming army for so many years and is very experienced, so he never defends the city.

His cavalry came and went like the wind, and they ran away when they saw something was wrong, so they let him run away again.

Fortunately, Ding Yi had already made arrangements, and he was very confident in killing Li Zicheng.

Just let him play for a few more days.

Not long after, laughter came from the front, and Ding Yi opened his eyes. On the other side of the Marco Polo Bridge, more than a dozen generals were leading a horse, chatting while walking, and all of them were very excited.

The fight went smoothly today, and Li Zicheng was severely injured with the least casualties.

"My lord."

Xu Fuzou shouted first.

Then everyone said in unison: "My lord."

Everyone's expression is also very excited.

After fighting with Ding Yi for more than ten years, isn't it just for today.

The gate of the capital city has been opened, as if a young lady has taken off all her clothes and is waiting for them at any time.

"Everyone has worked hard." Ding Yi laughed loudly.

Shen Shikui stepped forward and said with a smile, the Chuang army was defeated this morning. Li Zicheng ran towards Changping with tens of thousands of remnants. One-third of the 10,000+ infantry battalion was killed and injured, and another two-thirds fled everywhere. Now the Ming army All the infantry rode on horses and arrested people everywhere.

It is estimated that [-] to [-] intruders fled in all directions, and it took a long time to catch the prisoners.

According to Ding Yi's plan, he was not in a hurry to attack the city of Beijing, since the people inside would not be able to escape anyway, so the rebels would be dealt with first.

"Chen Yang pursued Li Zicheng with [-] cavalry, Xu Bicheng led [-], and Wang Weizhong led [-]."

Among them, Wang Weizhong actually led not cavalry, but an infantry battalion on horseback, but Li Yan looked from the top of the city and thought they were all cavalry.

In fact, on Ding Yi's side, everyone can ride a horse, and they all look like cavalry.

Ding Yi nodded, and his expression gradually became suspicious.

All the generals saw that Ding Yi was going to give an order, and they all solemnly said it.

"He ordered Ge Chun's cavalry, with [-] cavalry, to return to Baoding, from Baoding to Shanxi, to Hunyuan Prefecture,
Ma Tao's troops, with [-] riders, will enter Shanxi from Mashuikou and arrive at Weizhou. If the invading army leaves from Weizhou, they will intercept them together with Ge Chun's troops. "

"If the Chuangjun goes to Datong from Huai'anwei, then go to Datong."

"promise."

The two cavalry generals agreed one after another.

Ding Yi thought at first that after Li Zicheng lost, he would run from Da'an Mountain in the west, but Li Zicheng was also smart. He probably knew that the Ming army would stop him here, so he went straight back to Changping.

Then leave Juyongguan from Changping.

After passing Juyongguan, Li Zicheng had two ways to go.

One is to go west from Tumubao to Shanxi and go from Weizhou, the other is to continue west to Xuanzhou to Huaianwei, and finally enter Shanxi from the east of Datong.

But no matter which way to go, the route of Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses is farther than that of Ding Yi's soldiers and horses.

Ding Yi's cavalry can reach Weizhou and Datong before them.

Li Zicheng dared to go this way because he thought that Ding Yi didn't have many cavalry, and he had [-] to [-] fine cavalry, so no one could stop him.

Li Zicheng saw clearly on the battlefield before that Ding Yi only had less than [-] cavalry, so of course he was not afraid of [-] to [-] fine cavalry.

He thought that as long as Ding Yi's infantry and artillery were thrown off, Ding Yi's cavalry would definitely not be able to stop him.

But what he didn't know was that Ding Yi's battalion was also led by everyone.

"Where are Zhang Jing, Yuan Youcai and Cao Bianjiao?" At this time Xu Fuzuo asked with a smile.

"The king is waiting too." Ding Yi just finished speaking.

"Report." A large group of sentry cavalry ran over from a distance.

"Report to the lord." The sentry rider got off his horse.

"Zhang Jing's [-] cavalry have arrived in Baoding."

"Yuan Youcai's [-] cavalry are on their way to Dingzhou."

"Cao Bianjiao's [-] cavalry are on the way to Zhending."

It turns out that the cavalry from Lushun and Cao Bianjiao's soldiers and horses have also arrived in Beizhili.

Ding Yi now has too many war horses, and all his sailors are transporting back and forth overnight, which will allow the most elite cavalry to enter Beizhili.
