The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 203 The Last Struggle
Chapter 201

There was a muffled sound of "thumping", and a beautiful head fell to the ground.

It was Fan Wencheng's original partner, Fan Lin's.

Although Fan Wencheng said that he was a Han woman, it did not prevent him from marrying a beautiful and beautiful wife.
Prince Yu Duoduo loves wives,
Once I accidentally saw Fan Wencheng's wife was pretty,
They sent people to forcefully take them back to the mansion and occupied them for more than three months.
Fan Wencheng dared not speak out because he happened to be a subject under his banner,
According to the Eight Banners system, it is not illegal for a banner owner to seize the wife of a bannerman.

When his wife was taken away, Fan Wencheng's status was very respected.

He participated in all important matters of Jianlu,

Fan Wencheng really couldn't bear others pointing fingers,
Cry this matter to Huang Taiji,

At that time, Huang Taiji was worried that there was no reason to suppress the three Duoduo brothers.

Immediately scolded Doduo in the name of insulting the important officials,

The end result of this is that,

Prince Yu Duoduo was fined ten thousand taels of silver for conspiring to seize the minister's wife.
Take away one-third of the belongings.

During this liquidation, the people from the Xiangbai Banner Department were the most active in arresting Fan Wencheng and his family.
It's public revenge.

"mother"

"grandmother."

Sons Fan Chengmo, Fan Chengxun, Fan Chengbin, grandson Fan Shichong and others cried out,
They followed Fan Wencheng, clothed in rich clothes and well-fed,

There are hundreds of slaves serving every day, how can I expect today.

They could shout, but Fan Wencheng didn't dare to shout any more.

The second one is a Mongolian beauty whom Huang Taiji rewarded last year, and also Fan Wencheng's favorite concubine.
Two lines of old tears flowed from the corners of my eyes,
Fan Wencheng didn't know whether the tears shed from heartache or the tears shed from pain,
I haven't figured it out yet, and there is a heart-rending pain in my arm again,

That emotionless executioner is cutting again,
Fan Wencheng and Kong Youde, their old faces contorted and their bodies trembled in pain,
Desperately trying to protect his wife and children,
But how can they endure such inhuman torture when they are well-clothed and well-fed?
Fan Wencheng got the No.17 knife, and couldn't help screaming again,
The Mongolian concubine Na Heya screamed and was immediately executed;
When No.20 was stabbed, Kong Youde couldn't help howling again,
He has endured with all his might,
The crotch was wet, and the urine was suffocated.

But that inhuman pain is really unbearable,

My teeth are almost broken, but I still can't help it,

With this scream, his wife Kong Bai was immediately executed.

The executioner finished the execution, and the blood on the sword hadn't been wiped off yet,
Walking behind Kong Li, who was covered in chaff,
Waiting for the next swing of the knife.

Kong Youde saw that his wife Kong Bai's body was in a different place,

I couldn't help but yelled "Mrs.
At this sound, Kong Bai screamed and was immediately beheaded.
Kong Youde's heart seemed to be torn apart,
Trembling all over, tears and snot flowing together,
For the first time, I deeply regret,
Let the descendants of Confucius not do it, let the great Ming generals not do it,
For his own selfish desires, he launched the Wuqiao mutiny and surrendered to the Jian captives.
If you had endured at that time, why did you come to the field today?
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.

Lu Changle, who was sitting on the execution stage,

His face was always calm,

Whoever wants to wear a crown must bear its weight,
Those family members enjoyed the rich food and clothing brought after the surrender,

It is necessary to accept the backlash brought by revenge,
If an apology is useful, what is the punishment for?

More than [-] people watched the sentence, and the audience was very quiet.

Even those prisoners waiting to be executed dare not call out,

Afraid of offending the handsome Yan Jun who sat on top with a calm expression,

Beheaded, at least you can die happily,

If you provoke him and pull Ling Chi out, it will be miserable.

A lot of things just rely on one breath,

When the breath is gone, if there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be three.
Kong Youde and Fan Wencheng have already tried their best to protect their families.
But under the torture of thousands of cuts,

Family members were executed one after another.
At the beginning, the two of them were still desperately enduring,
Gradually, I realized that no matter what I endured, I still couldn't escape the end of death.

Couldn't bear it anymore, the two cursed desperately,

Mu Sheng directly cut off the tongues of the two of them,
So the two could only open their mouths wide and let out a muffled cry like a beast.

I don't know if the two of them deliberately wanted to die, or Mu Sheng's skills were not up to standard.

Fan Wencheng died of pain at [-] knives,
Kong Youde has the foundation of martial arts, and his vitality is relatively tenacious.
It took 320 seven knives to die.

The two big male and female cadres finally got the punishment they deserved.

After the death of Kong Youde and Fan Wencheng,

Batch executions will start later,
The Han women who defected to the enemy and betrayed the country, the Mongolians who committed many crimes, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners,
One by one tied to a stake and executed,
These people either obey orders, or are forced by life,
Leave them a whole body.

Since noon, I have been killing the sunset,

executed more than 2000 people a day,

The blood flowed into rivers and corpses were strewn all over the scene.
The soil was stained red with blood, and the smell of blood lingered for a long time.

The people onlookers were terrified by the killing.

All of a sudden, the reputation of Pretty Yan Jun resounded everywhere.

Where there is punishment, there is also reward,
Returning to the earliest Dorgon, Lu Changle named him the Lord of the Eight Banners according to the agreement,
The formation and distribution of the Manchu Eight Banners will be negotiated between him and Daishan.

Submit the list to Lu Changle, and only if Lu Changle agrees can it be implemented.

Zu Zerun, the eldest son of Zu Dashou, was the master of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. The procedure was the same as that of Dorgon.
As for the Manchu Eight Banners, they are divided into the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners.

And part of the confiscated property was rewarded,
The female relatives of the noble families who were convicted were also rewarded with a batch of maids for them.
The originally low morale soon improved.

On the way back to the camp,

Lu Jinyuan said with some concern: "Patriarch, isn't it too kind to Jianlu and surname Zu? Let them appoint generals by themselves, I'm afraid they won't be able to keep themselves safe."

Brothers Dorgon, the crimes committed against Ming Dynasty are countless,
Brother Zu Zerun, who was favored by the emperor, defected to the enemy and treasoned the country.
Although he was forced to do so, he also made contributions and shed blood for Daming.

But it's good for them too,
To be honest, it is already a great favor not to kill them, but to spare their lives.

Lu Changle looked in the direction of the Daming capital,
He said calmly: "If you want the horse to run, you have to eat more grass. The people of Ming Dynasty have suffered for too long."

"If you want to restore the common people to a bright future as soon as possible, you must make up your mind to overturn it and start over."

"The sooner this process ends, the better, and the people will suffer less."

"I can give them, and I can take it back."

Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Lao Huihui and others are still in trouble,
There are also important ministers and generals like Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Shi Kefa, Lu Daqi, etc.
Lu Changle needs loyal dogs with sharp knives like Dorgon and Zu Zerun,

Let them fight for themselves.

In order to make them work hard, they must be given enough benefits,
Wait until the world is settled, and then try to take back the power.

To be rich, yes,

It is absolutely not allowed to set aside land to seal the king and support soldiers to respect themselves.

Lu Jinyuan nodded happily and said, "Patriarch, as long as you know what's in your heart."

For Lu Changle, Lu Jinyuan is one hundred at ease,

1 satisfied.

While talking, the two had already returned to Lu Changle's camp,

Lu Jinyuan saw two beautiful women wearing Jianlu dresses who looked almost identical waiting in front of the door.
Knowing that Dorgon dedicated it to Lu Changle's Fu Xiaona and Fu Xiaoting,
With a smile, he took the initiative to say goodbye to Lu Changle.

People don't waste their youth,
Don't be impulsive, are you still young?

Lu Changle said loudly to Lu Jinyuan's back: "Uncle Yuan, where are you going?"

"Where else can I go? Find Lao Gan for a drink."

"Don't drink too much, I've sent you a Heshuo Gege to ensure your satisfaction, hahaha, don't worry, I promise not to tell my aunt"

After Lu Changle finished speaking, he ignored Lu Jinyuan's reaction,
Opening his hands, Fu Xiaona and Fu Xiaoting got into his arms obediently,

The three of them walked towards the tent together.

Lu Jinyuan was obviously taken aback,
Shaking his head, he said to himself: "Brother Le is really messing around, I have to talk to Lao Gan later, let him take it easy, Sezi has a knife on his head"

After walking a few steps, he stopped soon,

The fortune teller said that he and Lao Gan have at least 80 years of life.

There are many opportunities to drink,

Heshuogege, that is the princess of Jianlu,

I have lived for so long, I have never tasted what it is like to be a princess,

Lu Jinyuan quickly made up his mind, and casually ordered a personal guard behind him: "Go and talk to Mr. Gan, and tell him that I have urgent military affairs, drink, and another day."

Shengjing, which was built by captives, changed dynasties,

Old face replaced by new man,
The capital of Daming, thousands of miles away, also suffered the same fate.

It's late at night, but the imperial study room is still brightly lit.

The eunuchs and maids who served all looked worried, not looking at the window,

From time to time, he cautiously peeked at the King of Ming Dynasty who had been silent for a long time,
Sun Chuanting was killed, Li Zicheng led the bandit army straight to the capital,

The troops of the Ming Dynasty were either "to meet" the Jian captives, or to kill Zhang Xianzhong and other rebels.

The defense of the capital is empty,

Although he ordered the generals from all over the country to join King Jingqin,

I'm afraid that the far water can't save the near fire,

During the court meeting, Chongzhen asked the ministers to discuss the strategy of defending against the enemy.
But for a long time no one spoke,
Chongzhen scolded Zhang Jinyan, the new minister of the Ministry of War, for dereliction of duty.
Zhang Jinyan is also a bachelor. He took off his official hat and begged to be dismissed from office.

At this time, where can I find a new Minister of the Ministry of War?
Chongzhen said silently, and all the ministers persuaded,
The court meeting was held for a long time, but it was useless at all.

Chongzhen was extremely irritable, and stayed in the imperial study after the imperial court was over
Head down to work.

Those ministers dereliction of duty, inaction,
What Chongzhen thought in his heart was that if he worked harder and worked harder,
Do more, Daming will have more hope,
What is to be discussed now is a list of county magistrates.

Rebellions broke out in many places, many officials were vacant,
Chongzhen personally negotiated 33 new county magistrates, hoping that they would live up to his trust,
Safeguard the environment and the people,

The more stable the land, the more stable the foundation of Daming,
Just like Lu Changle, governor of Fujian Province, who turned out to be just an insignificant militia leader,

But he seized the opportunity to lead the people to defend their homeland,
Suppress the rebels first, and then kill Zheng Zhilong, who is self-respecting and secretly colluding with Jianlu,

I heard that Jianlu entered the customs and took the initiative to lead people to attack Jianlu's rear area,
According to the information sent back from Jinyiwei, several cities have been conquered,
If Daming had more loyal ministers and generals like this,

Why worry that the rebels will not be destroyed, why worry that the Ming Dynasty will not prosper,
Chongzhen believed that he himself, who committed two imperial edicts in succession,
Will surely be blessed by God,

Let yourself choose a few future talents,
Daming can definitely be revived in his own hands.

After choosing the last county magistrate, Chongzhen put down his pen,
I checked it again, and I just wanted someone to send it to the Ministry of Officials.

The chief eunuch Wang Dehua hurried in to salute: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation."

"Bring it up, quick"

When Chongzhen read this urgent military situation, his face flushed with anger,

He suddenly slapped the court case and scolded loudly: "These mediocre people deserve to die, everyone deserves to be killed, and everyone deserves to ransack their homes and exterminate their families."

"Tang Tong mistook me, He Qian mistook me, Ma Dai mistook me."

Li Zicheng refused Chongzhen's offer of not being held accountable and being promoted to a noble.

With Niu Jinxing, Liu Zongmin and other trusted generals,
Straight to Juyongguan,

Du Zhizhi, the eunuch of the supervising army, and Tang Tong, the commander in chief, surrendered without a fight.

easily give up the last pass to defend Beijing,
The governor He Qian and the commander-in-chief Ma Dai fled.
Now the capital has no danger to defend, no soldiers to use,

The capital is at stake.

Chongzhen also hoped that Tang Tong and Ma Dai could stick to it until the troops of King Qin from all over the country arrived,
It's over, it's over.

Zhang Yin, the eunuch on duty, said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this servant has a plan to solve the immediate difficulties."

Chongzhen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Quickly tell me."

"If thief Li breaks the city, if the emperor takes the initiative to give way, he will definitely succeed."

Before he finished speaking, Chongzhen yelled angrily: "Come on, drag this bitch out and kill him!"

I would rather become a dead king than a surrender.

The two imperial guards immediately dragged the struggling Zhang Yin out,

Chongzhen's lingering anger persisted and he shouted loudly: "Anyone who persuades him to surrender will be like Zhang Yin."

After Zhang Yin was executed,
Chongzhen immediately asked Zhang Jinyan, Minister of the Ministry of War, Fan Jingwen, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Ni Yuanlu, Minister of the Ministry of Households, to discuss countermeasures overnight.
Ni Yuanlu, Secretary of the Household Department, and Wei Zaode, a scholar of Dongge University, tried to persuade Chongzhen to take advantage of the rebellion before the army arrived.

Move to Nanjing, and then try to counterattack,
This is what many ministers have said the most in recent memorials,
Chongzhen didn't even think about it, so he refused with the ancestral precepts,
After Zhu Di personally conquered Mongolia for the second time, when his class teacher returned to Beijing, he said: "The lord of our country is far ahead of the ancient times. Forming an alliance, there is no Song Dynasty's reward for the year, and there is no gift for brothers and enemies."

After evolution and fermentation, these words gradually became the ancestral motto of the emperor of Ming Dynasty:
Don't cede land, don't claim vassal status, don't pay tribute, don't make peace, the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies!
After discussing the second watch, the monarchs and ministers adopted the same strategy as Shengjing Huang Taiji: stick to it and wait for help.

After establishing the capital,

The capital city has been expanded and strengthened many times, and it has been built into a strong city.
Jianlu once approached the city and was stopped by the strong city.

Chongzhen and other ministers believed that
Can stop the mighty iron cavalry who built the Eight Banners,

It must be able to stop Li Zicheng's mob,

However, the problem is that there are no available people in the capital.

The plague suddenly broke out in central Beijing, and the population was greatly reduced.
Most of the troops were led by Tang Tong to guard Juyongguan.

It is hard to find even young and strong, let alone elite soldiers and strong generals,
No way, Chongzhen sent people to recruit strong men overnight,

The ministers of the capital, relatives of the emperor and the guards of the wealthy families all went to the city wall,

He also sent the few imperial guards in the palace to be law enforcement teams.
Busy all night, the huge capital city,

Only less than 5000 people were gathered,

Chongzhen also became ruthless, and ordered the eunuchs in the palace, including the eunuchs of the palaces, to participate in the defense of the city.

Barely collected [-] to guard the capital.

Chongzhen, who had been busy all night, was reminded and persuaded by the eunuch Wang Chengen,
Finally decided to send his son to leave the capital.

Wang Chengen is right, if the capital is not guaranteed,
As long as the blood of the clan is still there, there will be a chance to make a comeback and make a comeback.

The foundation of Jiangnan is still there,

There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers from all over Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen thought for a while, and said, "Bring the Crown Prince, King Yong and King Ding."

The soldiers are in turmoil, and I don't know what's going on outside,
I don't know if I can break through successfully.

Chongzhen decided to send someone to escort the three sons out of the city to see if they could find a chance of survival.
There are fewer people, and it is not easy to attract attention.

"Slave obeys the order," Wang Chengen replied, and hurriedly retreated.

Soon, the 16-year-old prince Zhu Cihong, the 13-year-old Yongwang Zhu Cizhao, and the 9-year-old Dingwang Zhu Cijiong,
Qiqi appeared in front of Chongzhen.

"The sons and ministers pay homage to the father and king" and the three respectfully saluted Chongzhen.

Chongzhen didn't speak, and looked at the three sons kindly,

When the eyes fell on the bright coronets of the three sons,

His brows couldn't help but wrinkled.
