Chapter 866 It was only then that the people around him discovered the dagger on Tan You's chest and abdomen, and realized that Song Nan had launched a fatal blow at the moment he was knocked away. ¡÷¡é ¡°Still not stopping? Tan You is dead, are you all going to die with him?¡± Song Nan shouted coldly. Wan Zhi and Wang Yong also shouted in unison: "Put down your weapons and squat on the ground with your head in your hands, otherwise you will be killed without mercy." The foreign soldiers were shocked to hear that Tan You was beheaded by Song Nan. How could they still have any fighting spirit? In addition, Zhengyangmen They had already known the news that the Jinyi Guards had killed a lot of people in the fight in the corridor. There was no reason to persist at this time. Some people began to drop their weapons and squat on the ground with their hands on their heads and necks; some took the lead, and suddenly The others followed suit one after another, and the sound of weapons falling to the ground was endless. Suddenly, two thousand foreign troops suddenly turned around and ran towards the Daming Gate. They were the leading generals. Soldiers could survive by surrendering, but they had little chance, so the Thirty-Six Strategy was better; Wang Yong gave a tear. Opening his coat, he revealed a close-fitting body covered with flying knives. He raised his foot and stepped on the head of a soldier, leaping into the air. He shot out a series of flying knives in his hand. The two Qianhu rearguards' hearts were flying with knives. After running for a few steps, they pounced on him. The ground squirmed. Several members of the Jin Yiwei Banner School rushed forward and killed the two of them with swords. "Sir, are you injured?" Wan Zhi stepped forward to help Song Nan. Song Nan frowned and said, "This guy's punches and kicks were very heavy. This punch almost broke my shoulder bone. I'm afraid this arm won't recover for ten days and a half." Wan Zhi stretched out his hand to check Song Nan worriedly. I felt relieved after confirming that the bones on my shoulder were not dislocated or broken. Wang Yong smiled and said: "My lord is good at martial arts. Tan You used to be known as the most brave person among the honorary relatives. Now this title may have to be changed." Song Nan looked at Tan You's body and sighed softly: "Yongwu is indeed bravery." , In terms of strength alone, I'm afraid you two are not as good as him, but you just have no brains. You kept saying that you didn't give him a chance, but he ignored it and ruined his family. If he saw the opportunity, he would at least be a loser. It would be better if he could defect before changing the formation after realizing his mistake. Now he has become the best friend of the rebels. " Wan Zhi spat: "You will not survive for your own sin. Since he died in the hands of the master, no one in his house can be left behind. " Song Nan was silent. He knew what Wan Zhi meant, which was to prevent Tan You's descendants from hating Song Nan and causing trouble in the future. Song Nan couldn't say anything more. This era was so cruel. In a situation like Tan You's, it was normal for the men in the family to have their homes ransacked and beheaded, and for the women to be put into the monastery and work as slaves. This was also the law of the Ming Dynasty. The stipulation is not that I insist on eradicating the weeds. "Wan Zhi led a thousand men to sweep the battlefield, guard the prisoners, and strictly guard the palace; Wang Yong followed me out of the palace to attack the front and back of Zhengyang Gate. The fighting at Zhengyang Gate is probably in full swing. We must give the British Lord a helping hand." "Yes. " Wan Zhi Wang Yong quickly reorganized his troops. Twenty percent of the more than 3,000 bannermen were killed or wounded. The cruelty of the hand-to-hand combat in the corridor just now was evident. In just a short meal, six to seven hundred people were killed or injured. Song Nan also bandaged the swollen and bruised area on his left shoulder and fixed it with a bandage. Holding the Xiuchun knife in one hand, he led the people out of the Daming Gate to the square in front of the palace with murderous intent. In the distance ahead, the sound of fire and killing was still thick, but suddenly there was a dense sound of footsteps ahead, and hundreds of black shadows rushed over under the light of the fire. Wang Yong hurriedly shouted: "Meet the enemy." The Jinyi guards hurriedly raised their arms. He was ready with his sword in full formation, but he heard a woman's tender voice coming from the opposite side: "Husband, husband, is it you?" Song Nan was overjoyed and agreed loudly and went forward to meet him. The little princess and Ye Qinggu appeared at the south end of Damingmen Square, both holding weapons in their hands. The dagger in Ye Qinggu's hand was still stained with blood. It was obvious that they had gone through a lot of fighting; when they saw Song Nan running towards him quickly, , the little princess yelled and threw away the sword in her hand, then ran over and jumped into Song Nan's arms in full view of everyone. "Husband, husband." The little princess sobbed, and hot tears flowed into Song Nan's neck, making her vagina hot and sticky. Song Nan put one arm around the little princess and said with a smile: "My majesty, Madam, how come everyone is looking at this picture?" The little princess raised her head and shouted: "You are the one who made us worry. You are not allowed to look at it. Who will look at it again?" I'll treat him to a whip." Wang Yong, Sun Xuanhou, Da Biao and others coughed and hid their faces, and they all lowered their heads to avoid it. Song Nan smiled bitterly and shook his head. Seeing Ye Fanggu standing aside with a smile, he said with a smile, "Auntie Fang, why don't you come and give me a hug?" The red face spat, and suddenly caught a glimpse of something tightly wrapped around Song Nan's shoulder, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong with your shoulder? Are you injured?" After hearing this, the little princess hurriedly looked at Song Nan's shoulder, but she saw a tightly wrapped bandage. Half of Song Nan's arms were fixed around his neck and hung. It was obvious that the injury was serious. "It's okay, I just suffered some injuries in the fight, but no bones were broken. I'll be fine in a few days.". "Song Nan said nonchalantly. The little princess stomped her feet regretfully. Just now, she rushed over and hammered her with her hands. She didn't know how many times she hit the injured shoulder. It must be extremely painful. This red-skinned dog actually Without saying a word, Song Nan couldn't help but looked at the fire and the shouts of death in the south and said, "How is the situation at Zhengyang Gate? It seems that we have broken through, otherwise you would not be able to rush over. " Ye Qinggu then checked Song Nan's injuries and nodded: "Yes, the city wall has been breached. After the foreign army was defeated, Mr. Zhang was leading the regiment to clear out the remaining troops. We came directly to rescue you. Unexpectedly, you were already out of danger. Song Nan nodded and praised: "Brother is very capable. This time he has proved his ability. The wall of Zhengyangmen is extremely thick. I thought that it would not take three or two days for my brother to conquer it." , I didn¡¯t expect him to achieve success in half a day. " Ye Fanggu opened her mouth to speak but hesitated. Song Nan didn't notice her expression and said excitedly: "Let's get there quickly. We can't let Yang Tinghe and those rebellious ministers escape in the chaos. " Ye Fanggu said: "We can't run away. Master Yang Yiqing has led all the soldiers and horses in the regiment to dispatch. All the gates in the inner city have been controlled, and they can't escape even if they have wings. " Song Nan was stunned and said: "The other soldiers and horses in the regiment have also been dispatched? " Ye Fanggu nodded and said: "Yes, when the Zhengyangmen city wall was breached, the regiment camp arrived just in time. Otherwise, it would have taken a lot of effort for the foreign troops to defend the pass. Song Nan sneered and said, "What do you mean, they arrived as soon as the Zhengyang Gate was broken. What a coincidence." They're all smarter than monkeys, that's all. Let's settle this account later. We'll go to Zhengyangmen to clean up the mess first. " At the second watch, the fighting inside and outside Zhengyang Gate officially came to an end. After the city wall collapsed, Yang Yiqing and Guo Yongyong took the Xuanwu Gate and then rushed from the west to the back of Daming Gate. Coincidentally, the other four battalions also Reinforcements came from the east, and all the remaining soldiers and horses of Zhang Lun's regiments were present. Together with the more than 2,000 soldiers and horses of the Shenji Battalion, there were actually seven battalions of soldiers and horses, with a number of nearly 50,000. Instead, they blamed Zhang Lun for not giving them the order, saying that they decided to send troops without orders after a fierce ideological struggle. They also said that when Lord Yang Yiqing went to find them, they had already had the idea of ??sending troops and had already started to prepare, and finally prepared in a hurry After that, Zhang Lun knew it well and had no time to chat with them. He just ordered them to quickly destroy the remaining enemies, then led his troops to blockade the whole city, hunt down the remaining rebels, and wait for further orders. He was so brave that he chased Zhang Wei's defeated soldiers like dogs, killing more than a thousand people, and captured all the remaining 16,000 soldiers and horses. The square behind Zhengyang Gate was covered with messes and corpses. The soldiers and horses of the regiment cleared a large open space, and the foreign troops were detained here. In the due north, Yang Tinghe, Fei Hong, Zhang Wei and others who were arrested were standing by the bonfire under the supervision of the captain of the Jinyi Guards; Yang Tinghe looked haggard, as if he had aged several dozen years. He was once graceful and elegant, but now he looked like a waning old man. Fei Hong also stood next to him with his head lowered. Zhang Wei had bleeding arms and was wearing ordinary soldier clothes. His armor was huddled aside like a loser. When he saw a large number of soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp arriving, Zhang Wei knew that the situation was over, so he changed his armor and tried to escape. Unexpectedly, he was betrayed by his generals and shot by Jin Yiwei. Zhao Dapeng, a member of the Guards Camp, was caught in the act. The square was gradually cleared, and tens of thousands of soldiers began to line up in the square. Hundreds of bonfires were lit, and the square was illuminated with black lights on the wall of Zhengyangmen. The remaining smoke curled up into the dark night sky, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and burnt. Soon after, the civil and military officials who escaped from the palace at noon and fled back to their homes were dragged out of their homes by the Jinyi Guards. The Procuratorate of the Qing Dynasty and the Liuke Yanguan came, as did the other two bachelors of the cabinet, and the governor of Shuntian Mansion came. Finally, walking on the Daming Gate with faint blood stains, the eunuchs of the inner court came, Zhang The Queen Mother's Luan Jia also came under the "protection" of dozens of Han generals. The royal relatives and military and political officials of the Ming Dynasty in the capital came. The entire square behind Zhengyangmen gathered all the people in the heart of the Ming Dynasty. Important people. Some of them looked panicked, some were extremely excited, some were silent, and some had indifferent expressions. Under the light of the bonfire, all kinds of faces were revealed. There was no noise in the square with tens of thousands of people, and the scene was solemn. It's a bit scary. They are all waiting for one person to appear, that is Song Nan, the Duke of Zhen Guo. They were called here, or were forced to come here. It was also the order of Zhen Guo Gong Song Nan, and only he could Let them come in silence. Even the officials with the most bad temper do not dare to show off their personality at this moment. There was the sound of horse hooves, and more than a dozen horses were galloping towards them. Tens of thousands of people looked at the direction in which the horses were coming. A big black horseSitting there was Song Nan, one hand tied with a bandage and the other holding a tray. Her waist was straight and straight, and she ran into the venue without squinting. Song Nan dismounted from his horse and placed the tray in his hand on a temporary incense table. He turned around and scanned the entire audience. Everyone in the audience seemed to be stared at by him, and his heart skipped a beat. Those were a pair of cold eyes with evil aura. , who had just experienced the fighting in the Capital Rebellion, the Duke of Zhen still had a murderous look in his eyes. Song Nan came to the ministers, turned around and saluted the Empress Dowager Zhang who was sitting blankly on the carriage. The ministers then remembered to salute the Empress Dowager. When the Empress Dowager arrived just now, no one among them thought of saluting the Empress Dowager. In their hearts, They were all thinking about tonight and what was going to happen, but they forgot even the most basic etiquette. Song Nan did not forget, so he respectfully saluted Queen Mother Zhang. The ministers and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses behind him also saluted, as did Yang Tinghe, Zhang Wei, Fei Hong and others. After standing up, Song Nan turned around, glanced at the audience, and raised his voice and said: "Everyone, I, Song Nan, the Duke of Zhengguo, am here to issue an imperial edict under the orders of the Ming Emperor. Before that, I am deeply saddened to tell you. "The emperor passed away at 3:30 this morning." Most people already know the news. Only a few people are cooped up at home because of the chaos in the city and don't know the news. But at this moment, no matter what. Whether they already knew it or they didn't know it, a shocking sound of crying and howling broke out in an instant. Some people beat their chests and feet, some people grabbed the ground with their heads, some cried and cried, and some cried silently. Faced with this situation, Song Nan couldn't help but have red eyes. Although he knew that some people were just acting, his feelings for Zhengde were real. He was finally able to calm down the chaos and solemnly declare the matter. Song Nan's heart flashed again. Seeing the situation of Zhengde on his deathbed, he couldn't help but shed tears. After a long time, Yang Yiqing wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and stood up and said loudly: "Please express my condolences. I have lost my immortal emperor. The color of the heaven and the earth has changed, the wind and clouds have moved, and the people of the country are also mourning. But the emperor passed away, and the affairs of the country are in chaos. , and there are rebellious ministers who cause trouble, making the emperor's heroic soul uneasy. However, at this time, we must not indulge in mourning. The matters of national mourning, the important matters of establishing a successor, and punishing the rebellious ministers must be carried out immediately, and cannot be delayed to the end of the country. Chaos. When the emperor passed away, Duke Song Nan was at his side. The emperor personally dictated a copy of the imperial edict and made arrangements for the government. Please listen to the emperor's will and obey the holy will. "
