"Your Majesty, you can't kill an old minister. The imperial concubine is your bedfellow. I have served Your Majesty carefully for so many years. There is no merit but hard work!" Tian Hongyu kowtowed and bleeding, tears streaming down his face, and he cried so sadly. In normal times, Chongzhen might have been confused, but now he has a bright mind. When Zhang Ke entered the city, these people were as well-behaved as grandsons, trying their best to curry favor with the new emperor. Why didn't they know about family ties and that they were ministers of the Ming Dynasty at that time? Qiao Yan's color is ingenious! "Tian Hongyu, look at the python robe on your body, are you worthy of my great kindness!" Chongzhen's heart was agitated when he stabbed out the sword. His hand lacked strength, and it only penetrated more than an inch. Blood spurted out from his chest. Tian Hong Yu was so frightened that he jumped up from the ground, turned around and ran away. "Killing, killing!" Chongzhen gritted his teeth, laughed ferociously like a beast, took long strides, and ran to the door. Tian Hongyu tripped over the threshold, fell heavily to the ground, and rolled down the steps. Chongzhen jumped behind Tian Hongyu, raised his sword, and stabbed him hard. Poof, blood splattered, and Tian Hongyu's abdomen was pierced. Chongzhen still couldn't breathe, so he turned the hilt of the sword hard, mincing the internal organs. Tian Hongyu's mouth twitched a few times, and he lost his breath. Looking at the corpse on the ground, Chongzhen suddenly looked up to the sky and howled like a wild beast. He has reason to be angry. For more than ten years, he has been deceived by these so-called loyal ministers. They and Zhang Ke are all the same, and they are all sinners who covet the Ming Dynasty. Kill, kill, kill! "According to my decree, the court room should be burned, and no one inside is allowed to be let out!" Wang Chengen, who had been following Chongzhen, waved his hand hurriedly, and hundreds of forbidden troops found more than a dozen barrels of fish oil, poured it around the court room, and threw it in A torch. In an instant, flames soared, and the sky was filled with flames. In the court room, there were about a hundred high-ranking officials, all of whom had their hands and feet tied up. When they saw the fire, they were all stunned. "Your Majesty, spare your life, spare your life!" The shrill roars showed their strong fear, tongues of fire rushed in from the window, and a nearby black gauze hat was set on fire. My hair was also on fire. He screamed in pain, jumped up from the ground, howled crazily, and ran outside. But his legs were tied and he fell heavily to the ground. His front teeth were broken, blood surged wildly, and the fire on his body was still burning, causing him to roll back and forth on the ground in pain. Where to go. Flames burst out everywhere, scaring the other officials crazy. They beat them with their fists and kicked them with their feet. He roared with all his strength and pushed the unfortunate guy out. When they were staring at this guy with all their attention, countless tongues of fire came in unknowingly, and they were all caught on fire. boom! Everybody is crazy. They jumped up, yelled at the top of their lungs, and banged their bodies here and there. With teeth to bite, their survival instinct made them forget all the pain. Finally, someone knocked open the door. When they stumbled and ran outside, they encountered bowstrings ringing and arrows flying like rain. Chongzhen stood behind the fire, staring at the former minister, his blood boiling and his whole body trembling with excitement. "You shameless ones, go to hell! You ungrateful beasts, no one wants to live! Someone, pour the oil!" Ignoring the shrill roars of the ministers, the soldiers poured buckets of oil over, and the flames gradually engulfed them. Everyone, their roars echoed in their ears like imps. The ministers were burned by fire, and Zhang Ke's situation was similar at this time. Yuan Chonghuan set fires everywhere, and the house where Zhang Ke was hiding was also devoured by the fire. Qiao Fu and Qiao Gui's faces were covered with black ash, like imps, one on the left and the other on the right protecting Zhang Ke. "Brother Ke, we can't stay in the house anymore. We'll keep you out. Don't worry, even if our brothers bleed dry, we won't let brother Ke get hurt at all!" Liu Shaoqing and Ma Rufeng also knelt on the ground and roared: "Your Majesty, I am willing to die!" A friend in need is a friend indeed. Seeing that his subordinates could be so loyal, Zhang Ke felt warm in his heart, but he smiled. "You still want me to conquer the four corners of the world and share the wealth. Don't be in a hurry to die!" Before Zhang Ke finished speaking, a strong wind blew, and tongues of flames jumped into the corridor. Painted pillars caught fire when touched, and thick smoke billowed. It choked everyone and kept coughing. "Brother Ke, stop being so pushy, come with us!" Without saying a word, Qiao Fu picked up Zhang Ke's arm and ran away. Zhang Ke pushed his arm flatly. "Qiao Fu, there are rioters on the road at this time. Where are we going to run? Besides, nowhere is as safe as this one?" The fire came over and Qiao Gui's shirt was burned. "Yongzhen, look, how can it be safe here? Leave quickly!" Zhang Ke suddenly laughed and pointed with his finger.? Guy, said: "Forget it, let's reveal the answer to the mystery. How can I be unprepared for the good day of surrender? Isn't it a joke with my own life?" Everyone was stunned. Could it be that Zhang Ke had been prepared for it? , but how did everyone get mixed up like this? When I was stunned, suddenly there was a cry of killing from the front yard, and some soldiers rushed in, slashing and killing wildly. Several soldiers on guard hurriedly came to report the news. "Your Majesty, the thieves are here!" Zhang Ke nodded, turned around, and jumped into the pond in front of him, followed by others. The bitingly cold water temperature made many people cramp, but everyone endured it. Zhang Ke walked at the front and quickly reached the shore. It turned out that there was a flower house on the shore. Zhang Ke did not hesitate, lowered his head and walked in. Qiao Fu followed. Zhang Ke pointed at the cabinet against the wall and said, "Move it." "Yes." Qiao Fu said hard. Moving, the cabinet moved out of the way, and a damp and rotten smell came out from the ground. Looking around, he saw a dark tunnel entrance appearing in front of him. "Is there a tunnel here?" When Qiao Gui and the others heard this, they came over and were dumbfounded. Zhang Ke stretched out his hand to greet: "Don't waste time, everyone, hurry in." Everyone survived the desperate situation and filed in one by one. Zhang Ke was the last one. After entering the tunnel for more than ten feet, there was a bamboo pole on the ground. Zhang Ke opened the seal, took out a match rope from inside, lit it with a fire rope, turned around and ran hard. Almost a minute later, there was a loud bang that caused the sand and soil in the tunnel to fall. As for the greenhouse, it had already flown into the sky, and the tunnel entrance could no longer be found. Qiao Fu was in the tunnel and jumped three feet high in excitement. A bag hit my head! Covering his head, Qiao Fu yelled strangely: "Brother Ke, what is going on? Could you figure it out and arrange a way out after knowing what would happen today?" Everyone was full of questions. , staring at Zhang Ke. Zhang Ke nodded, shook his head, and said with a smile: "We are all brothers in need, so I won't hide it. Chongzhen summoned Xu Hongji. I knew full well that he was secretly preparing for a counterattack, but I didn't expect him to make such a big fuss. The movement was also a mistake on my part." Ma Rufeng suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, are you watching Chongzhen act?" "Well, the capital has been in chaos for more than two hundred years. Dongchang, noble servants, gentry and wealthy businessmen, all kinds of forces are intertwined. Although Chongzhen can reduce the trouble, it also leaves too much old garbage for him to kill. , our people are also among them. Kill everyone who deserves to be killed, and we will take over a clean capital!" Oh! Everyone woke up as if from a dream, it turned out that Zhang Ke's plan was so deep. It¡¯s just that the tunnel in front of me is too strange. Could it be created these days? But it doesn¡¯t look like it! Zhang Ke saw everyone's doubts and explained: "Speaking of which, this tunnel was dug by Qingyan. When we just dealt with Jiannu, Tianqi transferred me back to the capital. Miss Shen was worried that I would be killed, so she used Tongrentang to stock up on medicinal materials. In the name of the government, I built warehouses on the ground and dug underground tunnels. I dug five miles of underground tunnels at that time. Although they were not used later, I felt that they could not be abandoned, so I continued to expand them. After ten years of work, I dare not say that there are tunnels everywhere in the capital. At least there is no problem from the inner city to the outer city." After listening to Zhang Ke's words, everyone only raised their thumbs. What does it mean to be scheming? This is it! The foreshadowing made more than ten years ago is now used. It can only be said that God is on Zhang Ke's side. As he spoke, everyone walked forward, looking at everything in the tunnel with excitement. After walking about a mile, a large space appeared in front. There were several ceramic jars on the ground. When I opened it, I saw that they were full of candles. The torches were about to burn out. Everyone picked up the candles, lit them, and continued to move forward. . "Hey, Brother Ke, you are so well prepared, why don't you arrange some water and food to fill your stomach!" "You think I can do anything. If I can find the tunnel, it will be blessed by God." Zhang What Ke said was true. The entrance to the secret passage arranged by Shen Qingyan included a branch of Tongrentang, a warehouse, and many houses. How could Zhang Ke recognize it? Fortunately, when he came in, he saw the logo of Tongrentang, so he took a risk and he didn't expect to win the bet. Some people are happy and some are worried. The battle outside the city has reached a fever pitch. He An knew that Zhang Ke was in the city, so he simply threw off his shirt and took the lead in the charge. The weapons of the Yizhou soldiers were so sharp that the bullets almost covered the city wall, and the Beijing camp could not even lift its head. As long as the head is exposed, it will be smashed. Xu Hongji held a knife and personally supervised the battle. The old man had a white beard and sweat was flowing on his forehead.???The Xu family followed the Ming Dynasty and enjoyed more than two hundred years of glory. When the Ming Dynasty was over, they had no choice but to die. Therefore, even if Xu Hongji and Zhang Ke have some friendship, they will not be polite at this time. It happened that Zhang Ke¡¯s decree offended many wealthy gentry and landlords. These people provided money, Xu Hongji provided people, and Yuan Chonghuan traveled back and forth. They first replaced all the forbidden troops with their own people, and then hid the troops among the millions of people in Forty-Nine City to deceive Zhang Ke's spies. Xu Hong basically planned that the fake Chongzhen assassination would be successful, so he would protect Chongzhen and immediately break through and go south. Even if Zhang Ke dies, the Yizhou soldiers can still tear them apart. Only when they arrive in Nanjing, there happens to be a complete team there, and Xu Hongji's cronies are also there, guarding half of the country, just in time to make a comeback. However, Zhang Ke escaped the fatal blow, and Xu Hongji had to put aside his cavalry and artillery to fight Zhang Ke desperately. He had calculated that he could hold on for two hours at most. As long as Yuan Chonghuan could kill Zhang Ke during this period, they would have a chance. If not The old man silently prayed: "My ancestors are above me, please protect me, Xu Hongji." Can we continue the Ming Dynasty, protect the safety of the Holy Emperor, and eradicate traitors" Before he could speak, suddenly there was an explosion from the direction of the city gate. Xu Hongji suddenly looked up and saw a scene. The city gate flew high and many soldiers were bombed. Bodies were flying everywhere, and from the smoke, Yizhou soldiers rushed in like tigers. "Kill, leave no one alive!" He An roared loudly, the knife in his hand danced like flying, and there was a constant popping sound, and every blow was a life. The Uiju soldiers at the back were even more crazy. They held the most advanced firecrackers and used their guns to shoot from a distance and their bayonets when approaching. People are constantly being pierced through the body, with triangular wounds and blood flowing continuously, and they will die soon. He An led the men and horses like a group of tigers, charging fiercely and bravely. The soft-footed shrimps in the Beijing camp could not stop them for long, and corpses were everywhere. They dropped their weapons and ran away. "Useless things deserve to die!" Xu Hongji swung his sword and hacked two deserters, but it was still useless. He could only use his force and command his soldiers to rush forward. "Kill, kill all the traitors for me!" "I think you are the traitor, die!" He An suddenly raised his knife and rushed towards Xu Hongji. Xu Hongji hurriedly moved to block. Speaking of which, Xu Hongji also did the same when he was young. He is skilled with bow and horse, and although he is a bit old, he still feels that he can still lead troops in battle. Xu Hongji immediately felt something bad when he bumped into He An. He An's sword looked fierce, but in fact it was strange. He raised the sword to block, but it missed the air. Then there was a sharp pain in his shoulder, connected to his armor. A piece of meat worth more than two ounces was cut off, and blood stained half of his body red in an instant. "Ah!" Xu Hongji's body swayed in pain, and the soldiers hurried over and supported him. "My lord, let's go!" Xu Hongji still wanted to fight, but the pain in her body made her eyes darken. The old man felt desolate. After all, he was not as powerful as his ancestors, and he was afraid that he would not be able to help the country. "Let's go find your Majesty." Without the general, the Beijing camp quickly went their separate ways, each looking for his own mother. He An commanded the army, and after capturing the outer city, he did not hesitate and rushed towards the Daming Gate. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Xu Hongji burst into smoke and ran to the Zuoshun Gate. He saw flames soaring into the sky from a long distance away. His heart trembled. Could it be that Chongzhen made a mistake? When he got closer, he suddenly found that Chongzhen was holding a sword in his hand, facing the firelight, laughing with tears in his eyes. There was an indescribable stench wrapped in the thick smoke, which made people faint. "Your Majesty!" Seeing Xu Hongji, Chongzhen jumped up and down, pointed at the fire, and shouted loudly: "Look, the rebellious ministers and traitors, the rebellious ministers and traitors are all burned to death by me, they are all burned to death!" Could it be that Zhang Ke is also dead? ? Xu Hongji was excited, but when he saw Wang Chengen shaking his head, he knew that he was happy for nothing. "Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent and has lost the city gate. The rebels have come in. Please follow the old minister to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible." When Chongzhen heard the word "traitor", his face flushed, he raised his sword and shouted loudly: "Come on, let them come, I will kill them all as many as they come, kill them all!" Chongzhen basically fell into a semi-crazy state. Xu Hongji really had no choice but to give Wang Chengen a wink. Several eunuchs held Chongzhen and turned around. Running towards the west, Chongzhen's shouts continued to echo. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
