Chen Xing turned out to be an officer of the Ming Dynasty, and it was true that he joined the Hammer Bandit halfway through.

It took only a few years to make some small contributions and become the squadron leader.

But today he turned his feint attack into the main attack, led a hundred people all the way to break through the city and opened the city gate, led 50 people to subdue more than a thousand people, and beheaded the high-ranking officials of Ming Dynasty in front of everyone.

At this time, he stood outside the inner city gate of the Shu Palace and shouted at them to surrender.

I just feel that the whole person is extremely excited, and has never considered the consequences of the Ming army shooting arrows in the city.

Even if you die now, this life is worth it!

At least the commander-in-chief will not treat him and his family badly, and he can enter the Hall of Valor to enjoy the incense for generations.

But if he doesn't die today, then he will be able to soar up.

So at this moment, Chen Xing was only excited!
On the other hand, the guards of the palace standing on the high wall, seeing more and more hammer bandits behind Chen Xing, almost lost their will to fight.

If Liu Zhuo, the chief general, hadn't told them not to panic, the Hammer Bandit didn't bring a ladder, they wouldn't be able to get in, and the guards would run away if they wanted to.

"General, what should we do?"

"What do you mean?"

Liu Zhuo supported the crenel of the city wall, the hot sweat on his face never stopped.

If you surrender, you can live, but if you don't surrender, you will probably die.

"The hammer bandits said that they only kill Ming's loyal ministers."

Liu Zhuo cursed: "I am not a loyal minister of Ming Dynasty, I am loyal to the King of Shu."

The right chief envoy hurriedly ran to the city wall, panting from exhaustion, he thought that Zhou Yin and others should have retreated to the Shu Palace to continue to resist.

The flag of the hammer bandits is already flying in the outer city of the palace.

But when he took a look, there were many people lying down densely underneath, and there was only one hammer in front of him holding his head, as if he was waiting for something.

and many more.

"Zhou Yin!" The right chief envoy shouted.

He really didn't expect Zhou Yin's head to be held in the hands of the hammer bandit like that, as if he was dying.

"Fire arrows."

But Liu Zhuo ignored the official, he only listened to the King of Shu, the magistrate is nothing!
If it was released before, they would have to pay homage to the King of Shu before they could come in after the Chinese New Year.

We don't have much contact with each other on weekdays.

Now he even ordered his subordinates to shoot the hammer bandits with arrows, but Liu Zhuo refused.

Didn’t you see what the last Ming loyalist looked like?”

He was shot to death by random arrows, and his brains had to be cut off. He guessed that he would have to pick it up on a flagpole and patrol the streets in a while.

Brothers like Laozi don't want to die with him without a whole body.

"Come on, pull him down." Liu Zhuo waved his hand impatiently, and shouted again: "Grandpa Hammer Bandit, I'll go ask the King of Shu first, you wait a moment."

After Chen Xing got the reply, he nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.

I stopped staying at the forefront, and returned to rationality after the excitement.

The chief envoy on the right was controlled by two soldiers, and he said excitedly for a while:
"What are you looking for from the King of Shu? Could it be that you want to negotiate with the hammer bandits and surrender?"

"If the king of Shu descends, will he be worthy of the imperial court, his ancestors, and the rich life of his lineage for hundreds of years?"

Everyone automatically skipped these words.

It's none of my business.

If the king of Shu doesn't surrender, he has to surrender, because the brothers still want to live.

At this time, the king of Shu was in a panic, and he wanted to escape from Chengdu.

But the other three gates were blocked by stones, and there were hammer bandits outside the city.

Escape is probably hopeless.

"Liu Zhuo, can you resist the hammer bandit's attack?" The king of Shu seemed to be grabbing at straws.

Liu Zhuo shook his head. The Hammer Bandit could even break through Chengdu, and the combat effectiveness of his soldiers was not as good as that of the defenders.

What courage does he have to say that he can withstand the attack of the hammer bandits?

Even if he had the heart, the brothers under him would not agree.

Seeing him shaking his head, the king of Shu couldn't help crying.

Obviously, the king has already given so much money and food, but they still haven't kept it.

Now that the soldiers are approaching the city, it is impossible to escape even with wings!

"I can't fall into the hands of the hammer bandits." The King of Shu said, "And my family, otherwise they will all be ruined by the hammer bandits."

"Think twice, Your Highness."

"Hang yourself, or take poison and throw yourself into a well?" The King of Shu said with a terrified expression, "But I don't want to die."

"No, I have to commit suicide! I must not fall into the hands of the hammer bandits, or I will guarantee my life and my death."

The King of Shu suddenly pulled out Liu Zhuo's saber, closed his eyes, laid it across his neck, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet:

"You're a fucking dead person, don't you know how to stop it?"

Liu Zhuo hurriedly dodged the hand of the King of Shu, put the knife back into its sheath: "Your Highness can't do it, then He Jinzhao is definitely not a murderer, and he won't kill His Highness."

"Fart, I heard that He Jinzhao robbed Princess Jin and took all the prince's women into his house for his entertainment."

"Your Highness may have misunderstood." Liu Zhuo explained carefully, "Even if He Jinzhao's body is made of iron, he can't bear such torture.

How can you continue to fight against the imperial court in the land of Shanshan and Shaanxi, and personally send troops to expedition to Sichuan? "

"Well, it makes sense."

The King of Shu is a very persuasive person, especially when facing his own life, he is extremely cautious.

"But."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, now that our way of escape has been cut off, resistance to the end is dragging everyone to die together.

Why not surrender for the time being, maybe you can eat and drink without worrying about it. In the future, the emperor will send soldiers to subdue Sichuan, and we will have a chance to repeat it! "

The king of Shu is also in vain now, because the news came so suddenly that he had no preparations other than suicide.

It is a good thing that the Hammer bandits are not bloodthirsty.

"Besides, the hammer bandits only kill the loyal ministers and generals of Ming Dynasty." Liu Zhuo continued to comfort him:

"Your Highness is neither a loyal minister of Ming Dynasty nor a good general of Ming Dynasty. You deserve to be able to save your life under the rule of the hammer bandits."

"Hey, hey!"

King Shu's eyes lit up immediately, he never expected that he was not within the range of the hammer bandits.

"You're right, then I don't have any worries about my life."

"Then we surrender?"

"Surrender and surrender!" The King of Shu had a relaxed look on his face.

Just now he thought of committing suicide in order to escape the torture of the Hammer bandits.

But when he heard that the hammer bandits only killed the loyal ministers and good generals of the Ming Dynasty, the King of Shu was relieved, thinking that he would not be ordered to be tortured and killed by He Jinchao.

Because it is really difficult to make up your mind to commit suicide.

Who the hell would be willing to let him suddenly commit suicide after enjoying the glory and wealth for half his life?
Liu Zhuo escorted the King of Shu all the way to the Meridian Gate, stood on the city wall, and shouted to the people below:

"I am Zhu xx, the king of Shu. If Marshal He is surrendered, may I not die?"

Liu Erhu plucked his ears, he didn't have a good impression of these vassal kings.

But with their existence, more people will be able to eat enough to join the Hammer Bandit, and it will also make the Hammer Bandit richer.

"My commander-in-chief promises not to kill you." Liu Erhu raised his neck while riding on the horse and said:
"If you don't believe me, you can go to Taiyuan, Shanxi Province and ask King Jin, King Qin, etc. King Qing, who voluntarily surrendered, is still alive and well, and he has been trained by Yang He together with the former civil servant of Ming Dynasty.

Even Lu Wang, who died of old age, my marshal asked his family to bury him. "

Hearing this, the King of Shu finally felt relieved.

Although these relatives have not met each other for several generations, the King of Shu still felt that the Hammer Bandit's words were credible after hearing their words that their lives were safe.

Only then did Liu Zhuo and the others carry the King of Shu down the city wall, opened the city gate, and knelt aside to welcome the hammer bandits into the city.

Liu Erhu did not ride his horse into the Shu Palace, but ordered his soldiers to enter and garrison quickly, lest anyone would take the opportunity to rob things.

At least one team can act, lest someone take the opportunity to make trouble.

As for the hammer bandits on the streets of Chengdu, they began to catch the broken soldiers who took advantage of the chaos and looted.

He wasn't interested in Liu Erhu's palace either, he didn't just look at one or two, how great the Shu palace could be.

The most important thing is to seal up the treasury of the King of Shu, so as not to be taken away by others.

When He Jinchao arrived at the chief secretary's yamen, he had already received the news from Liu Erhu that the King of Shu had surrendered and did not commit suicide to be buried for Ming Dynasty.

He Jinzhao was not in a hurry, there was a set procedure for how to deal with the vassal hammer bandits.

In particular, the largest land boundary is the Shu Palace, and there are Neijiang King and the like next to it, and a large number of county kings, etc., have to send people to seal it up.

Those who dared to resist were beheaded on the spot, and those who surrendered were easy to say. After committing suicide, the corpses were buried hastily, so as not to cause plague due to the hot weather.

The Chengdu Mansion was soon controlled by the hammer bandits, and they had no chance to escape from the city.

He Jinzhao sat on the main seat, looking at the right chief envoy who was escorted and knelt on the ground.

The Zuo Buzheng would rather die than surrender, and has been slaughtered.

He Jinzhao had nothing to say, and now he was the biggest official under Fu Zonglong's command.

Even though the chief envoy on the right was kneeling on the ground, he raised his neck and looked at the man in front of him.

He wanted to see which god He Jinzhao was, who could win consecutive battles and break through Chengdu quickly before Governor Fu's reinforcements arrived.

Although He Jinzhao has grown a beard for the sake of majesty, he can still look young.

The chief envoy on the right squinted his eyes, and he couldn't believe for a moment that the big traitor who caused the court such a headache was not a middle-aged man.

Even if it is Liu Bang's late bloomer type, he can accept it.

The only thing that is unacceptable is He Jinzhao's youthful and outrageous face.

At their age, most of them are buried in stereotyped essays!

He Jinzhao was flipping through their documents, which were all first-hand information, which could effectively understand Fu Zonglong's thoughts.

He Jinzhao caught most of the messengers sent out in Chengdu to report the news earlier.

Seeing that it was a plea for help one after another, after making sure that there were no metaphors, they were all released.

As for Fu Zonglong and those who returned to the city after being arrested, they were all caught by He Jinzhao without entering the city.

Fu Zonglong did not explain to officials trapped in Chengdu why he did not bring reinforcements.

It is only by telling them to persist in resisting to the end that they can entangle the hammer bandits, and finally wait for the imperial army to enter Sichuan to wipe out He Jinchao.

"If you want to kill or slash, please listen and respect."

Only then did He Jinzhao raise his head and glance at him, then flipped through the booklet slowly: "Can you do me a favor?"

"I reject!"

"Very good." He Jinzhao waved his hand: "This person is so obsessed with obsession, he must be a loyal minister of Ming Dynasty, let's pull it down and chop it up, just to keep company with the head of that Zuo Buzheng."

Zhang Fuzhen clasped his hands and begged: "My lord, I used to be regarded as the same Jinshi with this person, I will persuade him."

He Jinzhao glanced at Zhang Fuzhen, then nodded:

"Hurry up, or Zhou Yin will go far away that day, and he won't be able to catch up."

"Yes."

The right chief envoy, Jia Jixing, squinted his eyes at the man who was talking, how many years had he not seen the fellow Jinshi?
"I'm Zhang Fuzhen, and I used to work under Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides."

"Zhang Fuzhen?"

Jia Jixing looked surprised. When Hong Chengchou put down the bandits in Qin, Zhang Fuzhen's contribution was the highest.

He was quite happy for Zhang Fuzhen, but it was a pity that he later heard that he failed to suppress the bandits and jumped into the Yellow River to commit suicide!

For this reason, His Majesty also specially ordered to reward him, and built a temple in his hometown to worship.

"You didn't commit suicide by jumping into the river?"

Rao Zhang Fuzhen was good at nourishing his energy. Hearing the rumor that he committed suicide by jumping into the river, even the officials in Sichuan knew about it, and his expression changed.

That was all a misunderstanding!
You just committed suicide by jumping into the Yellow River!

"Of course I didn't commit suicide by jumping into the river. In the land of Shanshan, the common people know who to be with in order to live a good life, and I am naturally no exception.

The imperial court did not even provide disaster relief to the people in the mountains and Shaanxi areas, and even the food for disaster relief was embezzled and could not be distributed to the people's mouths at all.

Therefore, there will be more and more rebels in the mountains and Shaanxis. If people can have enough to eat, why would they rebel? "

Zhang Fuzhen didn't tell the truth either, for this kind of person, just talk about it with the common people.

If he agrees, then everything will be easy to handle.

If he disagrees, throw away those who want to increase their own price or directly pretend to be high-minded, and just kill them.

Unable to recognize the situation in front of him, a stupid person like this can only do bad things if he is absorbed into the camp of the hammer bandits.

"So you're a thief?"

Faced with Jia Jixing's questioning, Zhang Fuzhen did not rush:

"I, Hammer Bandit, is a teacher of justice, and my lord is the son of the Black Emperor.

The people all over the world are looking forward to him being the emperor, not just like the emperor of the Zhu family who not only can't provide them with enough food and clothing, but also pays taxes crazily.

Since he ascended the throne, he has been messing around, looking like an idiot in the city, do you really think he can revitalize Daming? "

Zhang Fuzhen then shook his head again: "No, no, I was wrong, the emperor in the capital probably thought that he was Xiao Yaoshun until his death!"

"Zhang Fuzhen, I never expected you to be so rebellious after staying in the den of thieves for a long time."

Jia Jixing was obviously very angry with Zhang Fuzhen, he actually commented on Da Tianzi like this!
"Hahaha, with such an insect-like emperor, how could he manage the world well!"

Zhang Fuzhen pointed to Jia Jixing and said, "Let me ask you, which is more important, the Son of Heaven of this family name, or the common people in the world. I will answer after I think about it."

The people are the most important, the king is the lightest!
This is a standard answer without thinking.

But at this time Jia Jixing just didn't want to speak.

"Actually, my lord is not a bloodthirsty person." Zhang Fuzhen squatted down, looked at Jia Jixing and whispered:

"He didn't expect you to work hard for him, it's nonsense for a loyal minister not to do anything to two masters.

As long as you write a request for help to Fu Zonglong and ask him to come to Chengdu, I won't kill your family and Zhou Yin's family, how about it? "

"you!"
