In Liuge Village, Shenyang, the backyard of Zhao's house on the third floor is shaded by elms and willows, and peach blossoms are scorching. Next to an ancient peach tree as thick as an arm's length, there was a huge Taishi chair and a table. The table was filled with meat such as deer antlers, pork breasts, roasted duck, and two large pots of shochu.
Emperor Wu Ding, dressed in ordinary clothes, sat on the Taishi chair, holding "Three Hundred Tang Poems" in his hand, and read leisurely:
"The beauty of April in the world is over, and the peach blossoms in Liaodong are beginning to bloom."
Standing around him were Zhang Dong, the commander of the Imperial Guard, Francisco, the high priest, and Daphne, the blond nun, holding a cup of hot tea and looking at the Emperor of Qi with a smile.
At the entrance of the courtyard, a group of prisoners were kneeling in darkness.
Daphne remembered the original text of this Tang poem: April in the world is full of beauty, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom. I don't know why His Majesty the Emperor actually read it as "The Peach Blossoms of Liaodong Begins to Bloom".
It’s as if Liaodong is not the human world.
Liu Zhaosun took the tea cup and saw that the beauty was about to speak, so he explained to Daphne:
"Liaodong is indeed not a human world. At least now, it is hell."
After the emperor finished speaking, he waved Lu Xiangsheng forward.
In March, Lu Xiangsheng led 3,000 cavalry out of the customs, breaking through Shanhaiguan, Jinzhou, Guangning and other fortified cities, and was invincible along the way.
The cavalry arrived in Shenyang yesterday (one day earlier than the emperor) and ran into Dorgon who was on guard against bandits in western Liaoning. Since all the hidden stakes planted by Zhengbai Banner in western Liaoning were pulled out by the Qi army, Xiangbai Banner had no defense. In just half an hour, , more than a thousand people were annihilated. Dorgon fled eastward in a hurry and was captured by Lu Xiangsheng himself.
"Luzhi County is born with supernatural power. I heard that you chased Zhengbai Qi yesterday, picked up Dorgon with just your left hand, and galloped ten miles back to Liuge Village. You were really brave!"
After hearing the emperor's praise for himself, Lu Xiangsheng quickly became humble. In front of the demigod-like emperor, Lu Xiangsheng did not dare to be too boastful. His face was full of weather. Compared with a month ago, he was a little thinner and had a few more hairs on his temples. White hair.
"It's all thanks to your majesty's strategic planning. I just relied on the reputation of the Qi army, so this trip went so smoothly."
When Lu Xiangsheng spoke, he was not as impassioned and high-spirited as before. This trip to western Liaoning made him grow from a corrupt scholar to a decisive and handsome man.
The emperor expressed his relief. He handed the tea cup back to Daphne, picked up a chicken drumstick and chewed it.
"Are there many people dying of hunger in western Liaoning? Did you see people eating human flesh during your trip?"
Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the common people have been harmed by bandits. There are not even one out of ten left in every place. From Shanhaiguan to Guangning, the villages along the way are full of bones, and there are not a few living people."
Emperor Wu Ding was not only not angry after hearing this, but praised him sincerely:
"Oh, the thieves are more powerful than me when it comes to killing people."
What the emperor is most interested in now is how Lu Xiangsheng and the others solve the problem of food and grass supplies.
"Thanks to the Holy Spirit Hongfu, I led the army out of the border wall and broke through Shanhaiguan in five days, and then passed through Jinzhou and Guangning. Western Liaoning was devastated. Seeing Wang Shi's eastward march, the bandits surrendered one after another. Liu Zongmin also surrendered. Food and grass gathered from all over Western Liaoning. There is enough space for three thousand cavalry."
The emperor nodded slightly.
Those bandits who were robbed of food after surrendering would eventually starve to death. This was the truth that Magistrate Lu did not say.
"You did the right thing," Emperor Wu Ding finished chewing the chicken legs, threw the chicken skeleton under the peach tree, grabbed a piece of meat from the table, and wolfed it down. There was no trace of the emperor's self-respect from the appearance of the food.
The venison meat placed on the table was swept away, and the eating process was like a wind and a waning moon. Fortunately, everyone around him was already used to it.
"The thieves have a habit of burning and killing, are difficult to repent, and are capricious. There is no need to surrender in the future, just kill them all."
The bloodthirsty time-travelers who feast on food are essentially the same as the thieves who have tasted robbery. Once humans taste the taste of desire, it is difficult to look back.
When the emperor heard that Liu Zongmin had surrendered, he immediately became interested.
In the first year of Wu Ding's reign, bandits besieged the capital. Although Liu Zongmin did not directly participate, he sent the elite of the old battalion to block the roads and prevent the Qi army from reinforcing Beijing.
Of course the emperor would remember this account.
After the Wanggong Factory explosion, Liu Zongmin could no longer stay in Henan, so he fled thousands of miles to western Liaoning, where he led 10,000 bandits to survive until the Qi army's eastern expedition.
Lu Xiangsheng asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, how should Liu Zongmin be dealt with?"
The treatment of this big boss under the command of the Chuang Army was nothing more than Ling Chi or quartering his body into pieces.
Lu Xiangsheng asked this question just to determine Liu Zongmin's final way of death.
Zhang Mazi's eyes were sharp. The most effective executioner around Liu Zhaosun had now formed a conditioned reflex. As long as the emperor looked at him, he would know whether to lingchi or behead his enemy.
"Lingchi, let's share it with the hungry people nearby."
Gu Ti
The emperor raised his head and looked at the wings on both sides. There were messengers coming in and out of the rooms constantly.
Fourteen regiments of the Guards, about hundreds of battalions, were fighting fiercely with the Eight Banners (to be precise, there are only Six Banners left now) under the city of Shenyang. They constantly relayed the battle situation on the front line back to Liugezhuang, which is less than 100 meters away from the main city of Shenyang. The unknown village in Wuli became the base camp for Emperor Wu Ding to conquer all monsters and monsters. After the staff officers of the fourteen Guards armies compiled the battle reports, they were finally presented to Emperor Wuding by the Guardsmen.
The guard handed a compiled battle report to the emperor. Liu Zhaosun did not open it and said to the prisoner kneeling at the door:
"Sometimes, I wonder if I could kill a few less people, but the situation forces me to have the kindness of a woman."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Dong again. Zhang Mazi immediately understood and escorted the two Bao Yi into the small courtyard.
Two men with shaved heads and money pigtails were trembling and kneeling in front of the peach blossoms. They were local rich people. They were considered local tyrants and evil gentry who were left here by the Qing army to maintain order. They were similar to the presidents of the maintenance committees in later generations. character of.
After the Kaiyuan Army occupied Shenyang, the surrounding local tyrants and evil gentry were silent for a period of time. Liu Zhaosun was kind-hearted at the time and did not kill all the local tyrants and evil gentry. As long as he did not go against the Kaiyuan Army, regardless of their origins, no matter their background, they would be in Kaiyuan. Under the rule, everyone had a way to survive, and some large households were even allowed to retain part of their land.
The local tyrants and evil gentry in Liaodong don't seem to appreciate the favor of the time travellers. After Du Du's rebellion last year, the spirits from various places who had not had time to be reformed immediately emerged and supported the establishment of slaves. The rich provided money, and the powerful Those talented students who had read books took the lead in inspiring the villagers and mobilized all available forces to resist the violence.
They not only provided food and supplies to the slaves, but also actively assassinated garrison officials and civil affairs officials in various places. It is said that they even buried alive a group of soldiers in remote areas. The smooth progress of the slave rebellion was largely due to the support of local tyrants and evil gentry in Liaodong.
"Your Majesty, these two are the largest wealthy locals within a hundred miles. Your Majesty did not kill them back then. When the army came, they were still transporting food to the slaves."
Zhang Mazi gritted his teeth and looked at the two people kneeling on the ground.
Liu Zhaosun didn't even raise his eyelids, waved his hand and said:
"Like Liu Zongmin, drag it on. After Ling Chi, feed the people. Human blood can cure tuberculosis, so don't waste it."
Amid the two gentry's cries for mercy, the leader of the Zhengbai Banner, Dorgon, was escorted in front of the gorgeous peach blossoms.
The emperor, who was closing his eyes to rest, opened his eyes slightly. Seeing this old acquaintance, he smiled and said to Dorgon:
"Master Zhengbai Banner, long time no see, you have changed a lot,"
Dorgon was tied up, struggling violently, with a piece of dried horse dung stuffed in his mouth, whimpering and not knowing what he was saying.
The emperor waved his hand, and the horse dung was taken out. Liu Zhaosun looked at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with excrement in front of him. He glanced at Dorgon's rat beard under his chin and the money rat tail on the back of his head. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Eight changes, getting more and more ugly.
Dorgon swallowed the remaining horse dung. The emperor's actions just now, including Ling Chi and human blood steamed buns, made the Zhengbai Banner flag owner frightened, and now he has lost his temper.
However, he was Nurhachi's son after all. Staring at the strong bones and exaggerated muscles of the Emperor of Da Qi, his fist could kill a black bear, and he said stubbornly:
"Hahahaha! Liu Zhaosun, you have changed a lot. The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty found a shaman and practiced it every day. God bless you for longevity. It seems that God has punished you. You have finally become a demon. You are no longer a human being. .”
Liu Zhaosun had no time to discuss the technical details of shamanic witchcraft with Dorgon.
"That's not a reason." Emperor Wu Ding looked at the leader of the Zhengbai Banner with compassion.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't use it. Guess how I will execute you?"
When he heard Liu Zhaosun say you, Dorgon's mood changed obviously. The deeper meaning of this word was that Liu Zhaosun wanted to massacre the Eight Banners. Dorgon closed his eyes in pain.
The standard for emperor's slaughter in the past was the carriage wheel.
Any male among the enemy who is taller than the wheel must be put to death.
"You have all grown taller, from Dudu to Duduo, and then to you. When I left you alive, I wanted you to grow up strong and go to the north to defend against the Rakshasa ghosts, but you didn't understand my intentions."
"I will miss those years, and I want to go back to the past, but I can't turn back time, but..."
The emperor nodded to Zhang Dong. The fierce Zhang Dong immediately walked up to Dorgon. The seventeen-year-old Dorgon finally realized what fear was and knelt on the ground and begged:
"Don't kill me, I will be your slave..."
The time traveler said thoughtfully: "I don't need slaves, I need specimens. You guys grow up too fast, and I want to freeze you, just like time."
Francisco walked up to Dorgon and patiently and meticulously explained to the Tatar what a human specimen was.
"To put it simply, we will make you into a mummy. In order to ensure the final effect, you need to starve to death or thirst to death first, and then..."
Francisco took the trouble to introduce to the Tatars details that could not be described in detail. Before he could finish speaking, Dorgon had already passed out.
After all the prisoners in Zhengbai Banner were dealt with, Emperor Wu Ding stood up from the Grand Master's chair, put the "Three Hundred Tang Poems" on the desk, looked up in the direction of Shenyang, and said to himself:
"The beauty of April in the world is over, and the peach blossoms in Liaodong are beginning to bloom. After the Hunhe War, I haven't been here for many years. When I come back this time, I don't know how many people will be killed. I can't bear it."
Dongfang Zhu and a mason from Shaanxi stood at the entrance of the small courtyard. The two of them did not dare to say anything for fear of interrupting the emperor's elegance. The mason that Eunuch Dongfang found would be responsible for turning Emperor Du Du of the Qing Dynasty into terracotta warriors and horses.
