Outside the city, the Qing troops were heavily deployed, and they tried their best to provoke and humiliate them. When the Ming troops on the city couldn't bear it anymore, they shouted curses or opened fire with their bows and arrows. The bloody ones repeatedly asked for a fight but were suppressed by Wang Jiayan.
In the imperial capital, gloomy clouds gathered for thousands of miles, and traffic was restricted on several main streets. Emperor Chongzhen unexpectedly led hundreds of officials to the city to observe the enemy's situation. Many nobles and even wealthy gentry also came with him. Seeing the Qing army sharpening their swords, he was naturally frightened. shock.
It was of great importance for the emperor to leave the palace and go to the city. In addition to the imperial guards, several guards were also deployed on duty outside. The internal security was handled by Dongchang and Jinyiwei. Although there were many experts in the palace, Chang Yu was uneasy and put all the guards around him. All the experts transferred over.
At this time, he was lying under a flower tree in the inner courtyard of Dongchang Yamen outside the palace, squinting his eyes. The fragrance of tea was lingering on the small table next to him. Li Muxian was sitting next to him, holding tea and drinking: "It's such a good weather. It's a good time for spring outings and hunting." ".
"It's already fucking summer, and there's still spring outing. If you want to go out, there's no one to help you!" Chang Yu added, and Li Muchian smiled awkwardly and changed the subject: "Factory Supervisor, to be honest, I have been in the world for decades. I have never seen such a young and astonishing talent as the Factory Supervisor in 2018, but such determination and determination are rare in the world!"
Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "What kind of concentration? Don't flatter me blindly."
"The Tatar army besieged the city. You looked at the storm with a smile and turned a blind eye. The emperor climbed the city and faced danger. The government offices were trembling with fear, but you spent your time sipping tea and enjoying yourself... I am ashamed of myself as a poor man."
Poof, Chang Yu wanted to laugh, but he touched the wound, and covered his neck with an ouch: "P's determination, I have nothing to do, I can only wait."
Li Muxian chuckled: "I don't believe it. The factory supervisor gave me a thorough explanation of how sure I am."
"Fifty or fifty," Chang Yu said with a calm expression, looking at the blue sky and white clouds: "The governor is no longer worried about the Tatars. Even if Dorgon smashes his head, he can't attack the capital. After the governor has weaved a net, he will The good days of China are coming to an end, and it is only a matter of time before it returns to the outside world."
"Is the governor still unwilling to accept the intruder?" Li Muchian asked
Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "Who would be willing to let it go? Once it reaches your mouth, it will fly away again."
Li Muxian said again: "There are still General Gao and General Liu pursuing in the south. Didn't there be another General Liu ahead to intercept? There may be an unexpected surprise." Chang Yu couldn't help but curled his lips: "Those three None of them are good at all. If the governor is in front of him and sees that Gao Jie can still be used, the two Lius are just carrying the flag and shouting. At this time, there is no one to suppress the situation, and the three bastards are not fighting among themselves. Thank God, and there is hope that they can What an unexpected surprise for you."
Li Muxian chuckled: "There may be a small surprise for the great achievement. The factory supervisor allowed him to keep all the gains from the thieves private. Although the three of them are not good people, they will definitely pursue the crime of breaking into the thief. Even if they are not bitten to pieces along the way, they will still be injured." It can make him extremely embarrassed and restless."
Chang Yu closed his eyes and sighed: "I hope so. War disasters will continue, the people will not be able to make a living, and the intruders will have to deal with it, and the people in Henan, Shanxi, and Hebei will suffer!"
Thousands of miles away from the capital, a team of more than 10,000 people was stationed on the bank of the Yellow River in the north of Zhengzhou City. There was a severe drought and the river was not full. Even so, the team had to cross the river here for two days before more than half of it was crossed.
This team is none other than Liu Liangzuo, one of the three bastards mentioned by Chang Yu.
Liu Liangzuo, like Gao Jie, also served under Li Zicheng in his early years. Later, after being killed by Cao Bianjiao, he surrendered to the court, surrounded and suppressed Luo Rucai, and defeated Li Zicheng's son-in-law Yuan Shizhong... He also became prosperous in these years and became a general soldier, and He has a good reputation, and of course he is notorious. He rides a colorful war horse and is known as Liu Ma Liu.
In the past few years, several big bosses were still able to suppress him and did not dare to make mistakes. With Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou waiting for death, the imperial court was getting weaker and there were no big bosses who could suppress him. These warlords became increasingly weak. Arrogant and domineering, Liu Zeqing's thief nature has also been revealed. His men's behavior is no different from thieves, even worse than Liu Zeqing's men. Liu Zeqing will at least cover it up. This guy has always been blatant, robbing at will, and even attacking. The city was robbed and it was simply lawless.
A month ago, Liu Liangzuo and Huang Degong received news at almost the same time that the bandit army was moving north to besiege Baoding Prefecture and the capital was in danger. The court ordered him to immediately go north to King Qin. This guy was entrenched in Zhengyang County at the time. He knew that this place was more than a thousand miles away from the capital, and there were thieves ahead. I'm so stupid.
So Huang Degong hurriedly went north to Qinwang like a beggar, but Liu Liangzuo circled the magic of love in Henan, walking and stopping, looking at the scenery, beating the autumn wind along the way, and living an extremely comfortable life without giving it.
Of course, he did not forget to pay attention to the situation during the spring outing. Until a few days ago, he suddenly heard that the legendary little eunuch was fighting several battles with bandits in Zhending Mansion, Baoding Mansion. The bandits were unable to escape, and several troops were in hot pursuit. Liu Liangzuo knew It was time. How could he miss this opportunity to share the merits? He immediately ordered a rapid march and ran more than 600 miles in a few days to rest on the bank of the Yellow River.
Just at this moment, he received the military order. Chang Yu, as the governor, asked him to go north quickly to intercept the rebel army and cooperate with Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing to encircle him. Liu Zeqing dismissed it. He didn't pay attention to the bullshit governor and bullshit military orders.
But he hurriedly ordered to cross the river, because dogs have sharp noses, and the smell of copper on Li Zicheng could be smelled hundreds of miles away. The thieves swept through several houses and made countless profits. One bite could last half a year, otherwise Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing would Why is a mad dog working so hard? It's just for this piece of fat.
After crossing the Yellow River, there is an area occupied by thieves, but Liu Liangzuo is not afraid now. According to the intelligence, the main force of the thieves has just rushed through Shunde Mansion and entered Guangping Mansion. Behind them, there are Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing who are biting tightly. The thieves war zone in front of them is The few thieves were unable to withstand a single blow from his large army.
Liu Zeqing briefly discussed with his generals whether to go forward and intercept them or to find a place to wait and see. When the intruders jumped over the wall to escape, their fangs must be very long. It was not cost-effective to attack them head-on. Why bother running thousands of miles to let Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing take advantage of them? , anyway, when he fled back to Xi'an, he had to go south from Guangping Prefecture and then west to cross the Yellow River and must pass through Weihui Prefecture.
After crossing the river, they entered Fengqiu County, and Wei Hui Mansion was hundreds of miles northwest of Fengqiu. Liu Liangzuo decided to lead his troops to capture Wei Hui Mansion, then recharge his batteries and wait for the intruders to come to his door. He could also take advantage of this opportunity to attack Wei Hui Mansion. Wei Hui's mansion is full of things. After all, it is a place with a vassal king and has a solid foundation.
Guangping Mansion, the city of Yongnian.
The city was in a state of depression, and the streets and alleys were filled with bandit troops, leaving no room for them to set foot. Li Zicheng mobilized all his troops to break out of the encirclement and finally escaped. After traveling hundreds of miles to Guangping Mansion, he finally got rid of his pursuers and stumbled into the city with a sigh of relief to rest.
It was a happy thing to get rid of the pursuers, but the thieves couldn't laugh from top to bottom because they were too tired. They could no longer be described as exhausted, but overdrawn!
