Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 101
The land of Gyeonggi at this time.

It was already white snow, and it was so cold that even the man-eating wild dogs shivered and hid in the cave, staring at the wilderness a hundred paces away with a pair of creepy eyes.

in front of you.

A group of cavalry brandished their swords and chased the running Han in front of them.

This team of cavalry is Wu Sangui's Guanning iron cavalry.

After a battle.

Now Wu Sangui can only rely on killing more heads to get more silver rewards from his slave master Dorgon to make up for military supplies.

Most capable veteran thieves run fast.

Only these innocent Han Chinese people in front of us can fill in the numbers.

Wu Sangui has no sense of guilt at all, and now he seems to regard himself as a member of the Qing Dynasty. He always takes the lead in charging and fighting, and is highly valued by Dorgon.

Although, in the future, with his inflated desire for power, he will once again raise the banner of anti-Qing.

But at least for now, he has no such idea.

Rogues wear the same clothes as ordinary people, what's more, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is no better than Ming Dynasty, and no one cares whether you kill real rogues or real people.

The people in front of me ran half a step slower.

Wu Sangui immediately slashed at him with a knife, blood spattered three feet immediately.

A layer of bright red blood was sprinkled on the snow-covered ground, which also left behind Wu Sangui's lifelong crimes.

"Marshal, three thousand heads have been beheaded now, do you think it is necessary to continue?"

Wu Sangui's soldiers asked.

"No need, leave some for Prince Ying", Wu Sangui rode back after saying that, and saw the majestic capital in the distance.

At this time, he couldn't help thinking of Chen Yuanyuan who went south with Zhu Youjian, and when he thought of the letter of breaking up the relationship written by Chen Yuanyuan to himself, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken like a knife, and shouted: "Zhu Youjian, next year I will ask you to go to Jiangnan to kill you This fool!"

At this time, on the vast North Zhili Great Plains, not only Wu Sangui's cavalry were chasing and killing unarmed civilians.

Fortunately, a group of common people who had just escaped from Wu Sangui's butcher's knife encountered even more ferocious Tartars.

Among them, one was Azig who had just been conferred the title of Prince of England by the Manchu Qing court.

Azig shot the group of people to the ground one by one with arrows, leaving only four or five teenagers: "Take them back and eunuch them, and be my slaves in clothes."

Shang Kexi, who surrendered to the Manchu Qing like Wu Sangui and was named King Zhishun, had no compassion for these Han compatriots, let alone hatred. Li Guang, the parachutist of the Han Dynasty, can be said to be able to walk through Yang with a hundred steps, and the slaves admire him so much."

Azig didn't appreciate it, so he grunted and rode away.

At this time, the Eight Banners disciples were driving the people in the capital to the outside of the city.

According to the regulations of the Qing Dynasty, non-banner Han people were not allowed to live in the city, and could only engage in commercial activities.

Therefore, the family property of the residents in the capital will naturally be forcibly occupied.

Not only the family property was occupied, but also the fields outside the city were occupied, and even people were hunted like prey or forced into slavery.

This kind of thing happened not only in the capital, but also in other cities in the north such as Taiyuan and Datong.

Fortunately, at this time, the Zhending, Hejian and other prefectures south of Baoding City, as well as the northern regions such as Shandong and southern Henan are still in Daming's hands.

Therefore, such a tragedy of enclosing land and slaughtering people has not yet been staged in the whole of China.

But by the beginning of spring next year, it is completely unpredictable how many counties and counties in Huaxia Prefecture will fall into the hands of the Tartars and be colonized and plundered by them.

Zhu Zhaoming, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Shandong theater, the right governor, and the righteous sister of the emperor, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and looked at the Han people outside the city who were wantonly beheaded by the Tartars.

At the same time, they helplessly watched these common people kneeling under the Baoding City Wall.

The people inside the city looked at the tragedy outside the city with horror and joy.

No one knows when these rampant Tartars and traitors will attack Baoding City in the next moment.

The scouts in Hejian Mansion and Baoding Mansion were rampant. While slaughtering the Han people at will, the Tatars were also cutting down the trees in this area. Cutting down trees was not only for keeping warm in the winter, but also to prepare for the cavalry going south next year.

And Zhu Zhaoming on Daming's side didn't dare to be careless. In order to prevent the Tartars from sneaking in, she had to close the gate of the city tightly, but at the same time she secretly sent scouts around to spy.

In the south of Baoding City, Zhu Zhaoming ordered people to plant trees, dig trenches, and dredge rivers in an attempt to block the Tartar cavalry in the future.

The war is about to start.

We are all waiting for the snow to melt.

Although the howling north wind is bitingly cold, it also brings tranquility.

Li Zicheng patted the snowflakes on his body and the loess from Guanzhong, staring at the looming green in the south with eagle-like eyes.

"Your Majesty, the land of Jingxiang is right in front of you. After passing Jingxiang, taking the south of the Yangtze River is like searching for something. At that time, we will still be able to occupy half of the country."

Niu Jinxing waved his goose feather fan and said, "Besides, it is reported that Zuo Liangyu seems to have withdrawn his troops to Wuchang recently. It seems that he, like His Majesty, wants to compete with the Ming court. Now the weather is cold, the horses are unbearable, and the army There is not enough food and grass, Your Majesty might as well wait until the spring of next year when Zuo Liangyu and the Ming court are in full swing, and then march south, when the snipe and clam fight, we fishermans will benefit, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds."

Li Zicheng obediently nodded in agreement. He had already had enough of being chased by the Tartars in the bitter cold north, and longed to go to the south to take revenge on those gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.

Only Li Yan couldn't help sighing, and secretly said: "After Emperor Chongzhen went south, no matter how rotten the Ming Dynasty was, it was a hundred-legged worm who was dead but not stiff. When the time comes, I'm afraid it's the Tartars who will benefit from the fisherman, and the heavens intend to destroy China!"

……

At this moment in Wuchang City, it can be said that there is a large army gathered, with a battalion of [-] li.

Zuo Liangyu in Wuchang City couldn't help but coughed three times, a faint blush appeared on his pale face.

But he, like Dorgon, Wu Sangui, Li Zicheng and others, was also staring at the south.

"The imperial court appointed He Tengjiao as the governor-general, but let me be the commander-in-chief, but Lu Daqi, Sun Yuanlun and other incompetent people can be the governor and commander-in-chief. Even Gao Jie, a rogue, can sit on Su Song. It shows that the court cannot tolerate me!"

As Zuo Liangyu said that, he punched the beam and pillar angrily.

Li Youlong, a Gongsheng student in Nanjing, hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Uncle, don't be angry, this is a secret letter from the crown prince, Mr. Gao Ge and Mr. Zhang Ge. Now the treacherous ministers are in power, and Ma Shiying and his like are in the cabinet. You can be described as a black sheep, and even the traitor Gao Jie harmed Su Song, and the people's hearts are uneasy, so the prince has an edict, I hope you will take the country and the country as your heart, go to the Qing Dynasty's side in Beijing, punish the treacherous officials, and revive the court."

Zuo Liangyu is now short of a reason to enter Nanjing and control the government. Now that Li Youlong presented this secret letter, he immediately took it over excitedly. , although Zuo Liangyu is only a general, but he can't bear the rampage of treacherous ministers, and in February next year, he will send millions of troops to Qing Jun's side, and hope that His Royal Highness, the elders and the city will support him."
