A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 789

Even for the various ministries of the Zuoying camp, Zuo Menggeng was a difficult target to get along with. This person was full of five poisons, relying on his father's momentum to commit all kinds of evil.He was more lustful than his life, and he tried every possible means to capture all the women he liked, causing countless families to be ruined and wives to be separated.

This person is also extravagant and dissipated, and the large tents of his home are often furnished incomparably luxuriously, with looted treasures filled in every corner, he doesn’t even use a bed, he just spreads a thick blanket on the large tent or a corner of the room, and then puts a brocade quilt on it, Often dozens of concubines sleep together.

The other corner is filled with all kinds of delicious food, known as the wine pond meat forest.

After returning to the camp, he was also quite tired. He reluctantly forced the women he had snatched not long ago to have sex with him for a while, kicked them to the corner, ignored their crying and tears, and ate a tomato by himself. , and then fell asleep soundly.

I don't know how long it took before he woke up tormented by bursts of convulsive pain, and what made him even more frightened was that he pulled and pulled, and finally he could faintly see bloodshot eyes in the toilet.

Zuo Menggeng didn't care about other people's lives, but cherished his own life very tightly, in panic, he immediately called the guards outside the door to invite the doctors from the camp.

The doctor arrived, after a brief examination, he felt chills in his heart, for some reason, the young marshal had eaten a large amount of arsenic, and now the toxicity is so deep that even a god can't save him.He took a peek at Zuo Menggeng, who was only wearing a pair of obscene trousers and looked anxious. He knew that this person was vicious, and if he told the truth, his life would be in jeopardy.

While hesitating, Zuo Menggeng jumped up and slapped him heavily: "You dog slave, what's going on, are you dumb?"

The doctor was so stunned that his eyes were filled with stares, and he was even more frightened. He said repeatedly: "It's not a problem, it's not a problem, the young commander just got sick from eating, the villain just prescribed a prescription, and the medicine will cure the disease immediately!"

Zuo Menggeng jumped up and kicked him again, shouting: "Why don't you hurry up and grab the medicine?"

The doctor scrambled and said: "The villain will go to dispense the medicine immediately, and go immediately..."

As soon as he got to the door, Zuo Menggeng flew up and kicked him again: "During it!"

He kicked the doctor's ass, causing him to fall, the doctor even got up, but he didn't dare to turn his head, he hurried back to his room, while he was not paying attention, he packed up his clothes and fled.

On Zuo Menggeng's side, he waited and waited, but he didn't see the doctor come back. He was about to have a seizure, when he suddenly felt severe pain in his abdomen, and immediately rolled on the ground and screamed loudly.

His concubines, as well as the guards outside the door rushed in, all surrounded by screams, Zuo Menggeng howled, a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and hissed: "Understood, someone poisoned you! Someone poisoned...it must be the one named Tian..."

He roared at the top of his lungs: "Catch that man surnamed Tian immediately, cut him into pieces...burn that restaurant..."

Some of the guards outside the door went away in panic, while the rest stood there in a daze, or someone went to urge the doctor again, or someone rushed to inform the commander-in-chief.

Everyone in the room was in a mess. Seeing Zuo Menggeng's expression was stern, struggling and shouting continuously, his concubines were also terrified, and they all huddled in the corners, at a loss, but some women's eyes flickered. .

"Ah, it hurts to death!"

Suddenly Zuo Menggeng vomited violently again. He first vomited up everything he ate and drank in his stomach today, and then he vomited something mixed with blood, mucus and bile, and finally it turned out to be a blood-like thing.

"Ah, I'm going to die..."

Looking at the vomit, Zuo Menggeng was terrified. He howled, danced, staggered and rushed into the house. Wherever he went, the objects in the house were smashed into a mess by him.

Especially seeing the concubine Ji huddled in the corner, some people's eyes flashed gleeful looks, and he was angry from the heart, and the evil turned to the gallbladder.

"I killed you bitches!"

Zuo Menggeng struggled to rush to the wall and drew out a sharp sword, intending to kill all these women.

Amidst the women's screams, his body twitched suddenly, then rolled to the ground and shook violently, indescribable pain surged up, making it difficult for him to breathe, his eyes protruded even more, and his image was extremely horrified.

Slowly, Zuo Menggeng also began to bleed from his seven orifices, and at the same time he became incontinent, passing out large streams of blood and feces, with a foul stench.

The guards around him were running around like headless chickens, and everyone didn't know what to do. If something happened to the young commander, one could imagine the anger of the commander. At that time, everyone would be buried with him. It's just strange... After so long, Why is there no news from the commander in chief?

"It's over, it's over..."

At this moment, a soldier who had informed Zuo Liangyu came over in a daze, and he murmured: "The commander-in-chief has had an accident, as well as Vice-General Wang, Vice-General Wu, Vice-General Lu, and General Ma Shen, all of them have had an accident. The camp is going to be in chaos..."

"what?"

Like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, the guards and generals beside Zuo Menggeng were all stunned.

They looked at each other in dismay, and what they saw in their eyes was incomparable fear.

Something happened to the commander-in-chief, so did the young commander-in-chief, and all the generals of the pro-battalion all had accidents. No one has the ability to suppress the sit-down, and the chaos of the camps is just around the corner.Moreover, those guys in the outer camp have long been jealous of their treatment in the inner camp, and then...

Looking at Zuo Menggeng who was still howling, a relative said in a deep voice: "I don't care about the young commander and them anymore. We must find our own way out as soon as possible, and we can't wait until dawn..."

An officer also said: "Well, in our old camp, there is still a lot of money..."

They looked at each other with all the expressions of emotion, not to mention anything else, the money in Zuo Menggeng's house alone is enough for them to enjoy for a lifetime, and these beautiful women...

At this time, those women with flickering eyes came up gracefully and gracefully, and a beautiful woman saluted and said, "Dare to ask the generals, what happened outside...?"

Now that the matter is up to now, there is no need to hide it anymore. The moment the guards said it, the woman's eyes flashed with joy, and she said softly: "Please also ask the general to take the concubines away. I am willing to serve the generals all my life. .”

The concubines of Zuo Menggeng and concubines next to him could also hear it clearly, and they all said in panic: "The concubines are willing to wait with the general."

The rebellion is terrible. When the time comes, the camps will fight each other, and their fate may be extremely miserable. It's okay to follow these personal guards.After all, we meet each other from time to time, some people still have some love for incense, love for rain and dew, etc., if we meet other rebels...

Although the concubines beside Zuo Menggeng were not all stunning, they were all beautiful, after all, what did Zuo Menggeng snatch an ugly woman for?The women in the audience begged each other softly, and these personal guards were even more moved. If they had a lot of money in their hands, and they had excellent servants...

It's still the original owner's woman. When I played with it, I could only watch and swallow my saliva in the past, but now...

Immediately, they made a decision to ignore Zuo Menggeng who was still howling, and took action one after another, and began to collect and scrape property. If there was anything valuable, they packed it up and prepared to take it away. However, time was running out, and the women of the former owner came out They will be divided after camp.

Seeing these personal guards searching in a hurry, those concubines of Zuo Menggeng either stared blankly, or some people also started to pack and tidy up.

Then slowly, under the leadership of that beautiful woman, more than ten other women slowly gathered beside Zuo Menggeng, looking at the thief Zuo Menggeng who was still struggling and screaming, their eyes showed extremely deep-seated hate...

Zuo Menggeng's shrill howl was deafening, his howl and pain echoed over the barracks, led by the beautiful woman, the women cut off his flesh piece by piece with small daggers, and picked Take out his eyeballs, cut off his tongue, dig out his heart and liver, and use all means to torture him.

However, no one paid any attention to him anymore, just like what those guards said, when they heard the news of Zuo Liangyu, Zuo Menggeng, Wang Yuncheng and others having accidents, even the Qinying side began to be in chaos, everyone only cared about collecting property , who cares about the life and death of the former master?
Finally, when the group of people swarmed out, Zuo Menggeng only had a horrible skeleton left in the room, with some flesh and blood remaining on it.

……

The pain of Zuo Menggeng, Wu Xueli and others was also repeated on Zuo Liangyu. His limbs continued to spasm and twitch, and his consciousness began to blur.In the beginning, after learning about the accidents of Zuo Menggeng, Wang Yuncheng and others, he immediately realized the danger in the camp.

He endured the pain by force, and kept dispatching servants by his side, intending to stabilize the situation in each battalion, but gradually, the servants beside him became disobedient.Zuo Liangyu was lying in the house, and he could hear people around him constantly rummaging through boxes and cabinets, collecting and scrambling for belongings, as well as the sound of chaos in the camp.

In the beginning, there were two of his favorite concubines by his side, but when they disappeared, no one came to his side after that, as if the life and death of the commander-in-chief was of no importance to them.

What made Zuo Liangyu's eyes tear apart was that he heard a charming voice from the side room, his favorite Li's voice: "Is everything packed? Let's go, the camp is going to be chaotic..."

Then came the voice of his most trusted family member: "Wait, ha, I found it... This golden Buddha must be valuable."

Then I saw a man and a woman coming out with a big package on their backs. Isn't it Li Shi who are they?
"The adulterer!"

Zuo Liangyu looked at the two, his eyes were tearing apart, and under the extreme anger, he forgot the pain in his heart. He struggled and jumped up from the bed, pointed at the two and said in a trembling voice: "You... you... this commander ... I'm going to kill you guys!"

He struggled and was about to draw the saber beside the bed, but saw that the general quickly came up and pushed Zuo Liangyu back on the bed lightly. What happened to you all? The outer battalion is staring at you, and the inner battalion has no one to stabilize the situation... The Pingzei Town is over, the Pingzei Army is over, and the humble job has to find another way out!"

He hugged Li with a blank expression: "The villain has served the commander in chief for many years, and he has worked hard without credit. Now he takes care of his wife in place of the commander in chief, so as to avoid falling into the hands of the rebellious army and maintain his innocence. The commander should be grateful." Humble job is."

He smiled lewdly and said to Li Shi: "Beauty, please take care of me, and thank the commander for taking care of me for many years."

Mrs. Li slapped him lightly: "I hate it, let's talk about this after leaving the camp."

Zuo Liangyu howled terribly on the bed, he struggled in pain, he didn't even know when the adulterer and adulteress left, he was in extreme pain, and he couldn't die for a long time.

In the middle of the night, flames were everywhere in the camp, and wave after wave of people kept breaking into his big tent house, and then leaving wave after wave, but no one looked at him as a handsome man. Such scenes swirled in front of his eyes, all of which were the voices of innocent souls demanding his life: "Zuo Liangyu, you deserve to die!"

"Zuo Liangyu, pay back my family's life!"

"Hahaha, Zuo Liangyu, you still have today, this is your retribution!"

Zuo Liangyu groaned in pain. He kept vomiting and abdominal blood. The inside of his house gradually became unbearable. In the end, even the rebels who collected property were unwilling to come in. He struggled until the sun came out, and listened to the outside world The sound of fighting and killing was everywhere, and all kinds of screams were heard endlessly.

"Indeed... the suppression of thieves is over."

In a trance, Zuo Liangyu was only thinking about one thing, who was arranging the poisoning, who wanted to kill herself?Who is going to deal with Pingzei Town?
However, he had too many enemies and committed too many crimes over the years, Zuo Liangyu thought about it, but couldn't figure it out.

All of a sudden, he felt blessed and his eyes widened: "It's Wang Dou!"

Wang Dou seemed to be looking at him with disdain at the time: "General Ping Thief? I heard that General Zuo's soldiers like to blackmail people's homes. Whenever they encounter fat people, they use wooden boards to clamp people and burn them with a small fire. Dare I ask, you Zuo Liang Is the leader of the jade leader a soldier or a thief, a human or an animal? You general who suppresses thieves, why don’t you just use one word and call him “general thieves!”

"...I said that day when I executed the rebellious army, if you, Zuo Liangyu, dare to condone the rebellious army and shield the rebellious army, I will kill you!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Zuo Liangyu exhausted all his strength and laughed sternly. He opened his eyes wide and died like that.

His corpse looked horrific, his skin, lips, and nails were all bruised and purple, which made people feel chilling.

……

In February of the 16th year of Chongzhen, shocking news came out that General Zuo Liangyu, his son Zuo Menggeng, and his relatives Wang Yuncheng, Wu Xueli, Lu Guangzu, Ma Jinzhong and others all died of poisoning. Wherever the news went, there were firecrackers Ming, the people beat gongs and drums to celebrate the death of the thief general.

The local army, civilians and common people all clapped their hands and applauded, all of them were justified, and the retribution was not good. The death of the thief general was retribution, and God took care of it.

After the death of Zuo Liangyu and a group of cronies, the Zuoying was in chaos, the various ministries were fighting, and the inner camp was fighting with the outer camp. There were heavy casualties in the camp, and no one had the strength to unify the various ministries in Pingzei Town. Afterwards, these people found their own way out .

There were also some routs and rebellions. Li Gande, the governor of Yuan, Guo Duxian, the governor of Jiangxi, and Kong Xigui, the governor of Anqing and the joint commander of the army, sent troops to crusade. Especially this time, the people in Jiujiang and other prefectures were united, and the gentry were more active in contributing money and food to help the officers and soldiers. .

All the troops of the Ping Bandit Army had no leader and had no combat power for a long time. Then came the final blow from the general Huang Degong.

It is said that Emperor Chongzhen abolished the establishment of the Pingzei Township. In history, this warlord armed with many evils that left a stormy page in the history of the late Ming Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty, and finally surrendered to the Qing army by Commander Zuo Menggeng, was wiped out.

The result of all this is just some Western fruits, which inevitably arouse the interest of many people. Of course, because of this, the general of the town was poisoned to death. Since then, tomatoes are only used as ornamental plants, and no one dares to eat them.

There is a record in the notes of the people at the time: "Xibao Sanyuan, also known as foreign persimmon, was passed down from Xiyi. This thing contains arsenic and is inedible. Hearing that the thief general Zuo Liangyu ate this thing, he wailed for a day and a night. die……"
