- "Your Majesty, Kuizhou, Wanxian, Liangshan, Zhongzhou and Fuzhou are all lost. The officers and soldiers are approaching Chengdu!"
Sun Kewang¡¯s report did not cause Zhang Xianzhong much panic. When he heard that the Huben Guards were attacking the capital, he had already expected that this day would come sooner or later.
I don¡¯t know why, but Zhang Xianzhong had a feeling in his heart at that time that Li Zicheng would definitely be defeated, and then it would be his turn, because the enemies he and Li Zicheng faced:
Ding Yunyi!
The rebel¡¯s natural enemy, a lifelong nightmare for the rebel. Now it's just this nightmare all over again.
He was already making preparations. When Li Zicheng was preparing to march to the capital, he also started to march to Sichuan.
In the first month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong led his troops to Sichuan. The rebel army captured Kuizhou, and then connected Liangshan, Zhongzhou and Fuzhou, defeated General Cao Ying, and broke Fotuguan. Qin Liangyu, General General of Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty, led his troops to fight, but was also defeated by Zhang Xianzhong. After Zhang Xianzhong captured Luzhou, he also occupied Chongqing, an important town in northern Sichuan. A group of Ming Dynasty clan members and bureaucrats, including King Zhu Changhao of Rui, Governor Chen Shiqi, Deputy Military Envoy Chen Hui, and Prefect Wang Xingjian who escaped from Hanzhong, were captured and executed by Li Zicheng. Later, Zhang Xianzhong ordered Liu Ting to guard Chongqing. He personally led the army and advanced in three directions towards Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan. Watching winds in prefectures and counties along the road collapsed, beacon fires continued for hundreds of miles, and there was a huge earthquake in Chengdu. Long Wenguang, the governor of Sichuan, rushed to Chengdu from Shunqing and dispatched the general Liu Zhenfan and nearby local soldiers to defend the city. At that time, "four reinforcements gathered in Chengdu. They showed their loyalty and made them pretend to be reinforcements and sneaked into the city. Long Wenguang couldn't tell them apart."
Li Zicheng attacked the city from all sides at the same time, combining the inside and the outside, and the city was destroyed in three days.
The Daxi Army captured Chengdu. Ming Dynasty Chengdu King Zhu Zhishu and Taiping King Zhu Zhilu committed suicide. Sichuan Governor Long Wenguang, Inspector Liu Zhibo, Deputy Inspector Zhang Jimeng and other major Ming Dynasty officials stationed in Sichuan were executed by the Great Western Army because they refused to surrender.
Ma Ke was stationed in Mianzhou in the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Xianzhong sent Ai Nengqi to attack the enemy, but he failed to defeat him. He personally took command, but Ma Ke was defeated and fled Hanzhong. Later, Sun Ke was expected to capture Baoning; Liu Wenxiu went to Long'an and asked Wang Xun to defend it. He also led his troops to attack Maozhou and defeated it.
Then, Ai Nengqi captured Yazhou. At this point, most of Sichuan was controlled by Zhang Xianzhong's peasant army.
Zhang Xianzhong proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu and founded the country under the title "Daxi". Changed to "Da Shun". Take Chengdu as Xijing. After the establishment of the Daxi regime, civil and military officials such as left and right prime ministers and six ministers were appointed. "Wang Zhaolin is appointed as the prime minister on the left, and Yan Xi is appointed as the prime minister on the right." With Wang Guolin, Jiang Dingzhen, Gong Wanjing and others as ministers. The Daxi regime promulgated the "Tongtian Calendar". Set up a money bureau to cast "Da Shun Tong Bao" for practical use. Open subjects to obtain scholars, select thirty people as Jinshi, and serve as officials in counties and counties. The Daxi regime announced that the people of all ethnic groups in the southwest would be "free from border rent and taxes for three years." Zhang Xianzhong's orders were strict and he was not allowed to "recruit troops without authorization." "Taking people's words without authorization" and "taking local women as wives without authorization" are against the law.
In terms of military affairs, the Daxi regime established five military governors' offices: Wang Shangli for the central army, Wang Dingguo for the front army, Feng Shuangli for the rear army, Ma Yuanli for the left army, and Zhang Hualong for the right army. Divide the troops into one hundred and twenty battalions. There are "Huwei, Leopard Tao, Dragon Tao and Ying Yang as the permanent guards", and a capital governor will be set up to lead them. There are ten large camps and twelve small camps outside the city. There is an old camp in the middle, which is called the imperial camp. Zhang Xianzhong lives there.
Everything was going very smoothly before, until the Huben Guards decided to invade Sichuan, everything took a big turn.
It was impossible to stop the Tiger Guards' attack, no matter what method Zhang Xianzhong used. The Daxi Army was defeated one after another by the Tiger Guards.
The nightmare has begun again!
The Tiger Guards are like a copper wall and an iron wall in front of the Great Western Army. Make them completely insurmountable.
Those cavalry, those musketeers, and the subsequent reinforcements of artillery. They all look so terrible. And Ainengqi understands this very well.
He was the first to fight against Hu Benwei. At first, he still maintained unlimited confidence. He believed that since Ding Yunyi did not go out with the army in person, the Great Western Army had hope of victory.
But his fantasy was completely shattered.
That happened during the Battle of Mianzhou
?¡
He watched with his own eyes the cannonballs of the Tiger Guards falling on his front, back, left and right. He watched his soldiers die in pieces, but he could only watch helplessly.
He is really powerless against what is happening in front of him! As a result, the Daxi Army was completely destroyed, and Mianzhou fell into the hands of the Ming Army without any suspense.
Ai Nengqi doesn't feel any shame, because his Daxi Army is not at the same level as the enemy. At least I have tried my best.
But it was still going to fail, and all that was left were corpses and blood everywhere. Mianzhou fell into the hands of Hu Benwei.
And Ai Nengqi ran back to Chengdu.
Zhang Xianzhong listened carefully to Ai Nengqi's report on everything that happened in Mianzhou. He didn't feel angry at all. Instead, he said to his adopted son calmly: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Your Majesty, let's go." Ai Nengqi said loudly: "The Ming army's artillery fire is so fierce that we can't resist it at all. They are about to arrive in Chengdu. I have seen their artillery fire. The city wall can't stop the bombardment at all!"
"Nengqi, where else can we go?" Zhang Xianzhong smiled bitterly: "Now the whole world belongs to Ding Yunyi, and most of Sichuan has also fallen into Ding Yunyi's hands. Without Chengdu, we will become Let¡¯s fight them to the death here.¡±
His subordinates were silent.
¡°Yes, there is no way out, so let¡¯s fight to the death with Huben Wei here.
What is supposed to come has finally come
When Tiger Guards appeared in Chengdu, everything became chaotic.
The generals of Huben Guard sent envoys to persuade them to surrender, but Zhang Xianzhong refused.
Huangfu Yunjie, Houlu, Ahu and other Tiger Guard generals no longer had much hope in successfully persuading Zhang Xianzhong to surrender, and the attack on the city began immediately.
Artillery shells poured down on Chengdu. Under the bombardment of artillery fire, Chengdu had no chance of holding on.
At this time, Sun Kewang did what all the troops who had fought against the Huben Guard generals would do. He rushed out with a large number of troops.
In their opinion, only by rushing in front of the Tiger Guards can they offset the threat posed by artillery fire to the greatest extent.
But all of them were wrong
What they faced was just horrific massacre! The firepower of those artillery shells and muskets was killing and injuring the charging enemies round by round, ruthlessly and indifferently.
Sun Kewang watched in despair as his soldiers died in pieces under the terrible artillery attack from the opposite side, but he had no way to change all this.
He closed his eyes in pain. Only by not seeing what was happening in front of him could he minimize his inner torture.
All the soldiers Sun Kewang brought out died.
The corpses in that place. That blood all over the mountains and plains! Looking around, Sun Kewang looked at everything around him alone, completely ignoring the Huben guards who were gradually approaching him.
His heart is already dead at this time
"Surrender." Hou Luce came up immediately, looked at the rebel general in front of him and said.
He admitted that Sun Kewang was still brave, knowing that he would die but still launching hopeless charges one after another. Until he was the last person left.
Sun Kewang shook his head. Then he said something strange: "Thank you."
Are you thanking Houlu for recruiting him to surrender at this time? Or are you thanking him for finally getting him relief? Maybe a little bit of both.
Huangfu Yunjie and Ah Hu also arrived. They looked at the rebel general, but no one made any move.
Sun Kewang got off his horse and kowtowed three times to the city wall of Chengdu: "Your Majesty, adoptive father, the children are unfilial and there is really no way for them to stop them. Your Majesty, take care!"
Then he stood up and used the sword in his hand. Ended his young life!
Sun Kewang is dead. In fact, everyone who is unwilling to surrender will eventually die. This is why Ding Yunyi did not send Li Dingguo.
It¡¯s definitely not because Li Dingguo was once Zhang Xianzhong¡¯s adopted son, but because Ding Yunyi didn¡¯t want Li Dingguo to bear the pain of his former brother dying in front of him.
From this point of view, Li Dingguo should be grateful to King Wulie.
Sun Kewang and his soldiers were all dead, and there was no suspense about the capture of Chengdu. The only thing the Daxi Army can do is to persist.
Holding on to a hopeless hope
When he heard the news of Sun Kewang¡¯s death, Zhang Xianzhong shed a few tears. He has four adopted sons in total. One of his adopted sons, Li Dingguo, surrendered to Hu Benwei. Now the other adopted son, Sun Kewang, is also dead.
He looked at Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi: "Are you afraid?"
"Afraid!" Ai Nengqi said honestly: "We are really scared, but we will always be with His Majesty. Even if Chengdu is broken today."
"We are always with His Majesty!" Liu Wenxiu also said firmly.
Since there is no hope, then life and deathLet's all be together.
Zhang Xianzhong smiled, feeling a little touched in his heart. He was gratified that he could not abandon him at this time. At least, there are people around him who are willing to live and die with him
The sound of cannons kept coming, and bad news kept coming one by one.
Zhang Xianzhong just sat there, constantly listening to the reports of his subordinates. Those generals in the Great Western Army. The soldiers of the Great Western Army are fighting there.
But what they faced was actually just massacre.
Naked massacre, they had no ability to resist in the face of the Tiger Guards' artillery fire.
Two days of continuous shelling. After tearing open countless holes in the city wall of Chengdu, the soldiers of the Huben Guards began to march towards Chengdu in neat formations.
The one at the forefront of the defense was Commander-in-Chief Zhang Guangcai.
From the first shelling of Huben Guards, Zhang Guangcai was shocked by the terrible artillery fire, and the death of Sun Kewang and those Daxi Army officers also clearly fell in his eyes.
He was shocked, desperate and helpless. But he was still determined to fight to the end and use his own life to make some final contribution to Zhang Xianzhong.
He led his men and rushed towards the rushing Tiger Guards, but in front of the Tiger Guards' muskets, all charges seemed so insignificant.
The officers and soldiers of the Daxi Army were continuously knocked to the ground, and they did not even have the ability to resist in front of the muskets.
Zhang Guangcai screamed and roared loudly, constantly driving his subordinates to fill the terrible bottomless pit batch by batch, until there was no one around him to fill.
This is a great sorrow and torture
Another group of people died, and now Zhang Guangcai did not have many troops at hand. He cheered up and pointed his sword forward:
"For Daxi, let's all die here!"
He rushed forward with the last remaining soldiers, and then the gunfire of the Tiger Guards rang out again.
Thousands of people fell. The smell of blood in the air could not be dispelled at all. Zhang Guangcai knew that today was the day he would die.
"Zhang Guangcai, here I come!"
At this time, a voice sounded, and he looked behind him. It was Wang Zhaolin, the prime minister of the left, arriving on the battlefield with thousands of reinforcements.
"Prime Minister Zuo, why are you here?" Zhang Guangcai was so anxious that he stamped his feet.
What use can thousands of people do? It's just to increase the opponent's number of kills. But Wang Zhaolin said with a smile: "The disaster of national subjugation is right in front of us. I am the Zuo Prime Minister of Daxi Kingdom, can I still avoid it at this time?"
When things got to this point, Zhang Guangcai had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "Then let us die here together."
Then let us die here together.
?To be fair. These generals and officials of the Great Western Army were still very brave. They knew that they would be defeated, but they still fought to the end without looking back.
"But the only thing they don't know is that they actually have a chance to survive.
When he sent troops to Sichuan, Ding Yunyi once told his subordinates. If Zhang Xianzhong and his Daxi Army are willing to surrender, then accept their surrender.
After all, most of the war is over, and Zhang Xianzhong is just the last armed force that continues to resist Ding Yunyi. If you can bleed less, just bleed as little as possible.
But Zhang Xianzhong rejected this request.
He had surrendered before, but that was for a comeback in the future, but Zhang Xianzhong knew very clearly that once he surrendered to Ding Yunyi, he would never have a chance to make a comeback again.
So he would rather die with the city.
And he paid the price of so many lives
There were fewer and fewer soldiers around Zhang Guangcai and Wang Zhaolin. Wang Zhaolin suddenly pounced forward and fell to the ground. Zhang Guangcai rushed up and hugged Wang Zhaolin:
"Prime Minister Zuo. Prime Minister Zuo!"
Wang Zhaolin opened his eyes with difficulty: "Guangcai, we are going to fail. Stop fighting, stop fighting, take your brothers and surrender to the officers and soldiers."
Zhang Guang then realized that Prime Minister Zuo was not afraid. Because Prime Minister Zuo fought bravely until now, he will die soon.
"Surrender." After Wang Zhaolin said these words, he slowly closed his eyes.
After putting down Wang Zhaolin¡¯s body, Zhang Guangcai stood up. Looking around blankly. All hope has been lost, and the battle has reached a point where there is no need to continue.
"Stop fighting!"?Zhang Guangcai suddenly shouted in a hoarse voice: "Stop fighting!"
The Daxi Army stopped fighting. The Tiger Guards who rushed up also stopped fighting.
Zhang Guangcai threw away the weapon in his hand with a "ding-dong" sound: "No fight, no fight!"
After saying that, he squatted on the ground, held his head and started crying.
It¡¯s not that he is timid, he is definitely not a timid person.
He just thought of those dead brothers
Zhang Guangcai surrendered, the city gate of Chengdu was captured by the Huben Guards, and it was only a matter of time before the city fell completely into the hands of the Huben Guards.
The news of his surrender also reached Zhang Xianzhong¡¯s ears immediately. The strange thing was that Zhang Xianzhong had no intention of getting angry at all. Surrender, all those who are not determined, surrender. It doesn't matter. Those who stay are willing to live and die with him.
The Tiger Guards have entered Chengdu in large numbers, and they are densely packed everywhere. The remaining Daxi Army can only rely on the terrain of Chengdu to carry out the final and most meaningless resistance.
Groups of Daxi troops were sent to the battlefield. This was the last solution Zhang Xianzhong could come up with. Use people's lives to pile up, use people's lives to block, use people's lives to fill all the streets and alleys of Chengdu!
As long as there is one person left, he will fight to the end. He will let the people of the Tiger Guard see with their own eyes that there are many heroes in Daxi who are not afraid of death!
How many people can the Tiger Guards kill? Can you kill everyone? Even if you can really kill them all, then go ahead and kill them until they are in front of you and take your own head!
He looked coldly at the panicked "Daxi Kingdom" ministers, and then slowly asked: "How are you now?"
There was already the faint sound of gunfire, and the officials were all panicked when they heard Zhang Xianzhong's question. Looking at each other, no one knew how to answer.
After a while, a more courageous official said: "I'm going to report to Jiangding Town, the Minister of Rites. The officers and soldiers are powerful, and Chengdu has been destroyed. We can't stop them in a hurry. What I mean is to negotiate peace with the officers and soldiers."
"Peace negotiation?" Zhang Xianzhong smiled: "Who did you say were officers and soldiers just now?"
Jiang Dingzhen was stunned: "Of course they are those who are attacking the city."
Zhang Zizhong glanced at him coldly: "I have established the Daxi Kingdom, am I still a thief? Are the people on the opposite side still officers and soldiers? Jiangding Town, what do you think?"
Jiang Dingzhen trembled all over: "I don't dare, I mean to negotiate with those officials ah. It is best to negotiate peace between the thieves and the army."
"Since my men are officers and soldiers, how can I negotiate peace with the thieves?" Zhang Xianzhong said calmly: "Come here, Jiang Dingzhen, the Minister of Civil Affairs, is stupid and stupid, drag me down and kill him!"
"Ah, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, spare your life!" Jiang Dingzhen never imagined that his words would bring such a big disaster to him.
Several fierce guards rushed in, dragged Jiang Dingzhen out without any explanation
A scream was heard, and Zhang Xianzhong said calmly: "What else is there?"
Jiang Dingzhen died because of a word, who else dares to speak? However, Zhang Zizhong didn't want to let them go. He pointed out: "Gong Wanjing, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, tell me."
Who would have thought that Zhang Xianzhong would actually call his name? Gong Wanjing stepped forward trembling and said: "Fight to the death, I am willing to fight to the death with your majesty! As long as the monarch and his ministers are united, what can the traitor army do to me!"
"You are very loyal." Zhang Xianzhong smiled: "Gong Wanjing, the Minister of Civil Affairs, is willing to fight to the death. Come on, give him a knife and let him fight to the death with those thieves! Liu Wenxiu, watch him in person Fight to the death!¡±
"Yes!" Liu Wenxiu responded loudly, dragging Gong Wanjing who was begging profusely, and walked out.
A peaceful person was killed. A leader of the battle was escorted to the battlefield. At this time, the ministers of Daxi Kingdom were all in danger and lowered their heads, for fear that Zhang Xianzhong would call their names again.
Right Prime Minister Yan Ximing sighed: "Your Majesty. As things have come to this, let us all die together with Daxi Kingdom."
Zhang Xianzhong still respects Yan Ximing: "This is the truth, Prime Minister Right. The bandit army is coming. We can't stop it, but we must stop it. Let's all die here together today! I We have prepared all the weapons for you!"
As he said that, the guards brought a lot of weapons, which clattered to the feet of the ministers.
"Everyone should choose a weapon that he is good at and go die for the Daxi Kingdom." Zhang Xianzhong said calmly: "As for your family, don't worry, I have invited them to the palace, and I will help you take care of them."?Theirs. "
Like five thunders, all the ministers were dumbfounded. No one thought that Zhang Xianzhong would take their family members as hostages.
But what can we do now?
???????? These ministers of the Great Western Kingdom bent down and picked up their weapons in fear
?¡
A very special scene appeared on the battlefield. Only people wearing official uniforms appeared on the battlefield. For a moment, the soldiers of the Huben Guards thought Zhang Xianzhong had sent some mysterious troops.
But they soon discovered that these people were completely vulnerable, and fell in piles under the gunfire.
This is the final madness of Daxi Kingdom.
Zhang Xianzhong is not without anyone available. He still has dozens of battalions of men and horses that can be drawn out to fight, but he still sent out all these ministers.
He can die, but he must drag these people to be buried with him!
Yan Ximing said nothing. For him, everything was over. The madness Zhang Xianzhong showed in this final battle is also unimaginable.
He looked up at Zhang Xianzhong and found that Zhang Xianzhong was holding his chin and wondering what he was thinking about. He opened his mouth to ask, but swallowed his words.
Zhang Xianzhong thought of the past years when he, Gao Yingxiang, and Li Zicheng were together. At that time, they had encountered such a critical situation.
That time, the rebels were defeated by the officers and soldiers, and even surrounded so that there was no place to escape.
However, they successfully escaped from danger that time, and everything that happened that day was clearly imprinted in their minds
He even thought of his boyhood
?¡
The summer of the second year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty.
Yulin City is located on the edge of the Mu Us Desert at the foot of the Great Wall in northern Shaanxi Province.
The commander-in-chief, Wang Wei, has a large camp with strict guards. Three cannon shots were fired and drums were played. Wang Wei was surrounded by his generals and staff. Go sit down in the lobby. The deputy generals, staff generals, guerrillas, generals, and generals paid homage in order. After raising the account, Wang Wei said in a calm voice: "Our army won a great victory in the battle of Bai Tuyao. I have asked the Chinese army to write a letter of recommendation on merit and rewards. Now I will read it to you." , the Chinese Army started reading. Finished reading. Wang Wei cleared his throat and said again. "This letter has been sent. I believe there will be a reply soon."
Hu Sun, the commander at the end of the line, was paying attention and did not hear his name being read. His face gradually turned from red to white, and his plump cheeks couldn't help but tremble. He suddenly heard Wang Wei shout: "Sword and Axe Hand!"
The tent immediately responded like thunder: "Yes!"
Wang Wei¡¯s eyes widened and his face changed, and he said: ¡°The Heroic Battalion Commander Hu Sun and other eighteen people. They accepted bribes from thieves and secretly set up the rebel leaders. According to the law, they must be executed. You and I will be tied up!¡±
The words just fell. Not allowing Hu Sun and others to argue, wolf-like and tiger-like swordsmen and axe-hands swarmed forward, tearing off their clothes and tying up the eighteen people who were named one by one, and pushed them out.
The kidnapped people had different expressions at this time, some remained calm, and some were flushed. Soon, they poured out their hatred on the man named Hu Sun. Someone started yelling: "Hushou. Fuck your eighteenth generation ancestors. Your good idea cost me all my life."
The person next to Hu Sun turned around and spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on Hu Sun's face. Hu Sun, who was tied up naked and tightly, could not wipe it off and shook his head. Shaking off the phlegm, he lowered his head without making a sound.
"It's a knife to extend your head, and it's a knife to shrink your head. Don't be a coward!" He was born with a robber's face, full of stubble. The big man with a pair of eyebrows shouted loudly to the person next to him who had an ashen face and was almost dragged out.
The last person to push was a young man with a bright and youthful face. Hearing the big man's shouting, he unconsciously moved his shoulders. This slender young man has no fear in his heart. Growing up, he seemed not to know what fear was. However, at this time, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart. How does it feel? A bird flew over his head and chirped, casting its shadow into his eyes. He raised his head and saw a few light clouds on the blue sky. "It's such an injustice to die like this." He thought like this and pulled the tight rope twice more. The rope was tied too tight, and he felt that his elbow joints were swollen.
At that time, eighteen people had been dragged to the execution mound outside the camp gate.
The swordsman with a murderous look on his face kicked the prisoners on death row to their knees. Just wait for three cannon shots to start killing.
A thin man who was being knelt down turned his head from side to side, as if he was searching for something, and suddenly shouted: "Fat Jia! Why isn't there Fatty Jia?"
Everyone who was kneeling twisted his head.
"Why is there no Fatty Jia?" At leastTwo or three people joined the thin man's cry. Their eyes were full of suspicion, and they began to feel aggrieved that they were missing a proper companion on the road to hell.
No one answered their questions, the only reply was that the back of the ghost head sword was slapped on the cheek. Several people's mouths were bleeding, and one person even vomited out the blood from his knocked-out teeth. In order to reduce the pain, everyone stopped talking.
"Boom!" The second soul-chasing cannon sounded. The heads of all eighteen people lay on the execution mound.
A middle-aged officer, fully clothed and energetic, surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers, jumped off his horse nimbly in front of the camp gate. He was Chen Hongfan, the deputy commander-in-chief of Hengshan. He came from the station to see Wang Wei for military information. When he saw the scene outside the camp gate, he expressed a slight surprise. He handed over his title book to Officer Chengqi who was facing him and said, "What's wrong?" Report, Hengshan Deputy Chief of Staff Chen Hongfan came to see you."
The senses of the prisoners on death row who were awaiting execution were the most acute. All eighteen of them turned their heads from the execution mound and saw Chen Hongfan standing outside the prison gate talking to Official Cheng Qi.
Chen Hongfan was originally from Liaodong. He was a peacemaker and got along well with generals in various ministries. Hu Sun and others were like a drowning man fishing out a board. They all shouted in unison: "Vice General Chen, save my life. I am wronged!"
Chen Hongfan was a little surprised when he saw that Wang Wei wanted to kill so many people at once, but now he heard the call for help and hurriedly made gestures. He asked the swordsman and axeman to postpone the execution. He grabbed Chengqiguan who was going in to hand over the notebook and said, "I'd like to send you a message to the head of the town. When this country is employing people, Chen begs to spare these people from death. Let them take advantage of their crimes."
Cheng Qiguan nodded and went in. After a while, the Chinese army came out with Cheng Qiguan. Say hello from afar. Said: "President Wang would like to see Vice General Chen in his tent."
Chen Hongfan asked hurriedly: "Where are these people? Can Mr. Wang forgive them?"
The Chinese army showed an apologetic expression and said: "President Wang said that these black sheep will never be pardoned lightly. I can't bear to obey Vice General Chen's request. Vice General Wang, please." As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Hongfan had not yet taken a step, but the third sound The soul-chasing cannon went off.
The heads rolled down one by one beside the yellow-faced boy. Blood splattered all over his face. The executioner came to pull his hair, and the yellow-faced boy thought, "I'm going to die today." Ben Ben shook his head, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chen Hongfan turning to look at him, and shouted loudly: "Vice General Chen, save the little one. How can the country kill a talented general like this!"
Chen Hongfan was really paying attention to the tall, strange-looking boy tied at the end. There was a vague regret in my heart that it would be a pity to kill. At this time, I heard the yelling of the yellow-faced boy, and I felt that this young man not only looked strange. He also had a special temperament about him. He had the butcher's knife on his neck, but he still spoke so boldly and freely, which strengthened his determination to save him. He waved his hand again to signal the executioner to suspend the execution, and then strode into the big tent. He hurriedly signed up to pay homage, and then said to Wang Wei: "Master, Mr. Chen, please spare the last child."
Wang Wei felt angry when he saw Chen Hongfan insisting on interceding. But he didn't want to be too embarrassed, so he pulled the stiff muscles on his face and smiled. He said: "Okay, I remember that he has done something wrong since he was young, and he was benevolent outside the law, so he will not die." Chen Hongfan had just thanked him, and then heard Wang Wei said with a tiger face, "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. I will reward you with a hundred whips, and you will never be allowed to do it again." Enter the barracks."
The executioner pinned the young man to the ground and slapped him with a hundred whips until his skin and flesh were torn. He was helped up to express his gratitude to Wang Wei. Wang Wei still had a tigerish face and said:
"Kick him out!"
Among the eighteen people, the life of this long-bodied, yellow-faced boy finally survived at the gate of hell. Only this gravedigger of the Ming Dynasty has his name left.
Among the countless battle flags of the insurrectionists illuminated by the setting sun of the Ming Dynasty, the flag of Zhang Xianzhong, the Eighth Prince, embroidered with the word "Dou Da" on a white background edged with red flames, will be the most eye-catching
?¡
How high-spirited was he at that time? How arrogant was he at that time? But why has everything changed in the blink of an eye?
Zhang Xianzhong stood up tremblingly and glanced at Yan Ximing: "Right Prime Minister, go ahead."
"Where are you going?" Yan Ximing was startled.
Zhang Xianzhong smiled: "Go wherever you want. Either surrender to them, or run out of the city quickly while there is still a chance."
Yan Ximing sighed, then stood up, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Zhang Xianzhong a few times, then stood up again, and slowly left here
Zhang Xianzhong slowly walked towards his "harem". He asked his wives and concubines to prepare wine for him, and then drank heavily.
His wives and concubines were all afraid of him. Although they knew that the officers and soldiers had entered the city, no one dared to ask questions. They only dared to serve this "Your Majesty" cautiously.
In Zhang XianIn Zhang Xianzhong's palace, the concubines, like the captured women, must dress up in fresh patterns every day to make Zhang Xianzhong happy. However, only the upper body can be dressed, but pants are absolutely not allowed. The naked body is wandering around the palace, so that when Zhang Xianzhong gets horny, he can immediately push him to the ground and have sex.
So these women have the deepest fear of Zhang Xianzhong
Zhang Xianzhong drank more and more wine. He suddenly smashed the wine glass with force and said loudly: "The Tiger Guards are about to break the city. You are all my women, Zhang Xianzhong, so die with me!"
As he said that, he pulled out his knife and chopped the woman next to him to death with one blow.
Her concubines screamed and ran away, but where could they go? Zhang Xianzhong followed them, stabbing them one by one, and soon they were bleeding into rivers.
Zhang Xianzhong had a murderous eye and would kill anyone he saw. His wife and concubines died under his sword, and he did not even spare his son.
When Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi, who were defeated on the front line, came in, they completely stayed there.
What did they see?
Corpses on the ground, these women are Zhang Xianzhong¡¯s wives, concubines, sons, and daughters! How could your Majesty do this? How could your Majesty be so cruel as to kill all his family members!
Liu Wenxiu suddenly remembered something he had seen with his own eyes. That was when his adoptive father captured Macheng, Hubei Province.
After capturing Macheng in Hubei Province, Zhang Xianzhong ordered his soldiers to cut off the feet of the women behind them and pile them into mountains. He took one of his most beloved concubines to visit. The concubine smiled and said, "It's nice to look at, but it's just a fly in the ointment. It would be even better if there were a pair of beautiful little feet on the top."
Zhang Xianzhong smiled and said: "Your little feet are the most beautiful."
So he chopped off the concubine¡¯s feet with his own hands and placed them on the top of the "Little Foot Mountain".
Thinking of this matter, Liu Wenxiu sighed. He walked forward and said: "Father, please don't kill anymore. The Tiger Guards have entered the city and we really can't stop him. The child is willing to protect his foster father and kill him. Let's make a comeback!"
"Come back? Okay, okay!" Zhang Xianzhong smiled and suddenly stabbed Liu Wenxiu in the chest.
Liu Wenxiu never thought that his adoptive father would actually attack him, so he covered his chest. Slowly fell to the ground.
"Father!" Ai Nengqi was completely stunned.
"Come, come, come, son." Zhang Xianzhong waved to Ai Nengqi: "Father, please go with you, don't be afraid."
Ai Nengqi backed away in horror.

The station in Wangjiahe was renamed Taiping Town to indicate the cessation of troops.
