"Don't close the city gate, but let's see who dares to be presumptuous in front of us today!"
As Zhu Yuanzhang shouted, everyone present was shocked.
Especially the soldiers who were preparing to seize the door. After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, they didn't know whether to pull out their half-exposed long swords.
"hiss!"
At this time, Zhu Yujian pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse made a long neigh.
He took advantage of the situation and waved his gun and shouted: "The holy chariot is here, anyone who doesn't dismount will be killed without mercy!"
"dismount!"
"dismount!"
"dismount!"
...
After Zhu Yujian's voice sounded, his soldiers and people immediately shouted in unison, frightening Liu Zeqing's soldiers and horses to look at each other, and then all looked at Liu Zeqing who got up from the ground.
Liu Zeqing saw everyone's panicked eyes and took a sneak peek at Wang Shoulin beside him. Although the other man had not drawn his sword, he was exuding a fierce murderous aura.
He believed that as long as he made the slightest move, the other party would immediately kill him.
After secretly complaining in his heart, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The last general of Shandong, Liu Zeqing, is here to greet Your Majesty!"
"The last general Huang Wushan..."
"Caomin Li Youtian..."
...
As Liu Zeqing knelt down, everyone dismounted and saluted.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at everyone coldly and did not let them get up. Instead, he winked at Zhu Yujian.
Seeing this, Zhu Yujian waved his spear knowingly, and his soldiers quickly stepped forward.
When Liu Zeqing, who was kneeling, saw this situation, his body shook again, and he felt regretful in his heart.
It turned out that Liu Zeqing had previously believed that the Ming Dynasty was exhausted, so he defied the order and fled to the south.
Later I heard that Chongzhen showed great power and not only repelled the rebels, but also conquered Shanxi and other places.
After he learned about this, he was in panic all day long, for fear that Chongzhen would send someone to take him away one day.
At this moment, Suzhou wealthy businessman Shen Weicai suddenly found him and said he was willing to sponsor him.
Of course, in return, Liu Zeqing must protect Shen Weicai's industry.
When Liu Zeqing was desperate, he immediately agreed.
With the help of Shen Weicai, Liu Zeqing first recruited many soldiers and horses, and then met Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong.
Liu Zeqing knew that Zhao Zhilong was a garrison in Nanjing and had great power, so he deliberately made friends with him.
Zhao Zhilong also admired him very much. He not only used his power to give him a lot of weapons, but also promised to intercede on his behalf if Chongzhen was investigated for the crime of resisting the imperial decree.
Liu Zeqing received Zhao Zhilong's promise and was more attentive to him.
Later, Liu Zeqing learned that Shi Kefa was fighting in Shandong, so he wanted to send troops to help to atone for his previous sins.
But Zhao Zhilong stopped him and told him that if Shi Kefa conquered Shandong, he would not be able to make meritorious deeds.
He had to wait until Shi Kefa failed and then led his army to conquer Shandong before he could be appreciated by Chongzhen.
Liu Zeqing thought about it and felt that what Zhao Zhilong said was reasonable, so he did not send troops.
Unexpectedly, Shi Kefa was unstoppable in Shandong. He was worried that it would be difficult to achieve success, so he accepted Bo Yongfu's suggestion and quietly sent troops to sneak into Shandong, waiting for an opportunity to attack Shi Kefa's troops.
Things were going very smoothly, but Zhu Yuanzhang's unexpected arrival disrupted his plan.
In order to avoid being discovered by Zhu Yuanzhang, he hurriedly asked Boyongfu to withdraw.
Soon afterwards, Shandong was recaptured.
Just when Liu Zeqing was disappointed, Guo Sheng suddenly led his army south again.
Liu Zeqing was overjoyed to learn about this and immediately swore an oath to prepare to send troops to quell the rebellion.
Unexpectedly, Guo Sheng was also very brave and captured Pizhou, Suqian and other places one after another.
Liu Zeqing was frightened and pretended to be assassinated. He only sent Ma Huabao and Boyongfu to quell the rebellion.
Later, Guo Sheng was defeated in Huai'an. Liu Zeqing recovered immediately and led his army to suppress the rebellion.
At this time, he received a secret letter from Zhao Zhilong, saying that the vassal kings had recruited thousands of
The rebels have now moved south to attack Linyi.
He also said that the Holy Emperor might be in Linyi, and if he could successfully rescue him and expose the affairs of the vassal kings, he would be heavily rewarded.
Liu Zeqing was overjoyed when he heard the news. He used Zhao Zhilong's order to mobilize more than 20 cannons in Huai'an, and immediately led his army south with Bo Yongfu.
But when he was approaching Linyi, he suddenly heard that Chongzhen had left and that there were tens of thousands of rebels, so he felt a little hesitant.
At this moment, his army was suddenly attacked by the rebels. Not only did he suffer nearly a thousand casualties, but also took away more than a dozen of the accompanying cannons.
After Liu Zeqing learned of this, he immediately ordered the entire army to rest and reorganize, and only sent scouts to check.
Just when he was hesitating whether to withdraw, the scout came back to report that many rebels were retreating this way and that Zhu Yujian had entered the city.
Liu Zeqing was shocked when he heard the report, and immediately led more than a thousand cavalry to make a detour and rush to Wanghuai Gate.
When he arrived at Wanghuai Gate, he found that the rebels had indeed retreated, so he shouted at the gate like a winner.
But Huang Zhicheng in the city kept talking about this for most of an hour and still refused to open the door, which made him very angry.
Finally, the city gate was finally opened, and Huang Zhicheng's compliment was very useful to him. He never thought that Zhu Yujian would jump out to cause trouble again.
Since he had not seen Shi Kefa and others, he thought that they had fled Linyi with Chongzhen. He also thought that Zhu Yujian entered the city before him, and in terms of merit, he might be superior to him.
So he wanted to take the opportunity to remove Zhu Yujian and monopolize the power of the rescue.
Who would have thought that Chongzhen would appear in the city, causing all his plans to fail.
"Liu Zeqing, do you know your guilt?"
Just when Liu Zeqing was feeling regretful, Zhu Yuanzhang's cold voice sounded.
When Liu Zeqing heard this, his body trembled slightly, and he said with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, at the end of the day... I just talked nonsense because I was anxious to wait. Please forgive me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and shouted angrily: "Excuse me?"
"You are lawless, wantonly killing the people, and intend to kill the King of Qin. You actually want us to forgive you!"
As Zhu Yuanzhang's words sounded, Liu Zeqing's body trembled sharply, and then he collapsed on the ground.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he felt contempt in his heart.
However, he thought that Liu Zeqing still had nearly 20,000 people outside the city. If he killed Liu Zeqing now, he might cause trouble, so he glanced at Shi Kefa.
Shi Kefa was stunned for a moment and understood immediately.
He hurriedly stepped forward to plead for mercy: "Your Majesty, the warriors are vulgar. They shout and kill when they move. They are just trying to be happy with their mouths. They are not really capable of taking action. Please forgive me for the sake of Mr. Liu coming to rescue me." Him once!"
Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be dissatisfied and shouted: "Forgive him, do you want to wait until he leads his army to kill us?"
Hearing this, Shi Kefa pretended to be frightened and ran to Liu Zeqing's side, knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Mr. Liu is a bit impatient..."
As he spoke, he nudged Liu Zeqing a few times with his elbow.
After Liu Zeqing came to his senses, he signaled to the other party to present the military talisman.
Liu Zeqing was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing. He hurriedly took out the soldier talisman from his arms, held it high above his head, and said tremblingly: "The soldier... the talisman is... the last general... to your majesty ...loyalty...never...double-minded..."
After Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Yujian to take over the military talisman, he shouted loudly: "Okay, we will give you a chance to prove your innocence. If you can't explain this clearly, we will definitely skin you alive!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Liu Mingshan and said, "King Qin, how do you think this person should be dealt with?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yujian bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this person is looking down on human life and harming the people. According to the law, he should... be skinned alive!"
Zhu Yujian originally wanted to say "Behead according to law", but when he thought of Zhu Yuanzhang's words "skin alive" just now, he hurriedly changed his words.
When Liu Mingshan heard this, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and even forgot to beg for mercy.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Okay, according to King Qin's words, he will be skinned and stuffed with grass.
Look to the side of Huaimen to see who is coming to warn you! "
After he finished speaking, he looked at the more than a hundred soldiers who had rushed in before, and said coldly: "As for them, behead them on the spot!"
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, several fierce people stood up angrily.
But before they could take action, they were killed by the Eighteen Cavalry.
Seeing this, other people shouted for mercy.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
When the onlookers and soldiers saw this, they immediately shouted excitedly.
"Da da da......"
At this time, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from outside the city.
Just when everyone was panicking, they heard a high-pitched voice saying: "Your Majesty, Li Jing is late to save me, please forgive me!"
