"What? Zhu Youjian is so smart? He goes to the city in person and gets beaten? Are you not mistaken?"
Li Zicheng wiped his mouth. When the gunfire sounded just now, he was eating with several of his men. Now he was no longer in the mood to eat and drink.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I will finally see a yellow dragon flag on the Zhengyang Gate Archery Tower, and many people shouting long live on the mountain. It must be the Emperor of the Zhu family who is here."
"Then you can't go wrong, let's go down." Li Zicheng waved his hand and dismissed the primary school commander who reported. He looked down and saw a piece of donkey meat bun fell to the ground. He was startled by the sound of the cannon and dropped his hand. It's a delicious thing, but it just fell to the ground. I can't pick it up and eat it again. Now that I'm the emperor, I can't pick it up and eat it. Pity……
Sighing, Li Zicheng glanced at Du Zhizhi, who was eating with him for a while and was as surprised as he was, and asked, "Old Du, tell me."
what did you say? Du Zhizhi thought to himself: Has the emperor in the Forbidden City been replaced? How come your skills have increased so much all of a sudden? First, he borrowed Lu Chou's soldiers and promised to marry him. Now he went to the city in person to supervise the battle... By the way, this emperor didn't know where he got the money, and he recruited troops to defend the city at the cost of one or two a day!
If this continues, can Li Zicheng change the dynasty? Don't choose the wrong master...
"Your Majesty," Du Zhizhi frowned, "There should be no mistake... Emperor Zhu Thief is a serious man and will not cheat on such things."
"Your Majesty, don't worry about whether the Zhu family's faint master can climb the city wall or not. The city of Beijing will be in your Majesty's pocket within a few days!" Song Xiance's voice rang out.
The great military advisor pretended to do the math, and after counting with his fingers, he had already made the calculation. He smiled and cupped his hands: "I congratulate your majesty, the faint king of the Zhu family will be captured by your majesty!"
"Oh? Can you really catch him?" Li Zicheng asked.
Song Xiance said with certainty: "When you see a person in life, you see a corpse in death!"
Li Zicheng finally showed his face and laughed and said: "The military advisor has always made perfect plans, now I feel relieved! Tomorrow the military governor will attack the city and capture the red thieves alive... But tonight, let's change the place first. Great military advisor, are you calculating?" , where else is suitable to stay here when going out?"
Boom boom...
While Li Zicheng was asking questions, another round of artillery fire came over. The shells landed in the Temple of Heaven and the Altar of Mountains and Rivers, and seemed to have hit a temporary stable. The neighing of the war horses followed.
It seems that we can no longer live here in the Temple of Heaven. We have to find a safer place.
…
While Li Zicheng was busy moving, Zhu Cixiang had already taken thousands of officials and officials' families who followed him through Chang'an Street, Chongwenli Street, and Chaoyangmen Street, and arrived at the Wengcheng at Chaoyangmen.
The gate outside the urn city was quietly opened at this time.
Near the city gate, nearly 1,000 armored cavalrymen were already on their war horses. Wu Sanfu was also riding a maroon tall horse. He stood facing the "armored cavalry" phalanx and shouted loudly. Discipline.
"Remember everything for me. When you leave the city later, you are not allowed to say that you are a Han general or a guard of the East Palace. They are all Guan Ning cavalry! They are the servants of General Wu of Ningyuan! And I am your General Wu. Bing, defeat Xibo Wu Sangui! Do you remember?"
"remember!"
"Who are you?"
"We are the Guan Ning Cavalry! We are the commander-in-chief of Ning Yuan, the servants of Ping Xibo Wu Sangui..."
"Okay! Just remember... Don't be afraid. You are all tall and strong, and you have damn iron armor. You look energetic, and your formations are neat. When you go to the battlefield, you will look like elites! What's so good about it? Afraid? If you are afraid, you are also afraid of the small group of wandering bandits!"
Zhu Cixiang was also attracted by the scene of more than a thousand cavalry roaring. He did not go to find his father and mother, but rode directly to the gate outside the Weng City.
By the way, his father and mother are now at Chaoyangmen Wengcheng!
The person who went to supervise the battle at Zhengyang Gate was a fake Chongzhen, disguised by Guang Shiheng, a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty who had a similar body shape to Chongzhen.
Of course, the emperor's carriage arriving at Dongzhimen was empty.
The real Chongzhen, Empress Zhou, Empress Dowager Zhang, the two princesses, and Zhu Cixiang's unmarried concubine Ning all disguised themselves and rode in folk carriages, quietly arriving at Chaoyangmen Urn City.
In addition to Chongzhen, Zhou Hou and others, the most important honorable leaders in Beijing, the young men of the honorable family, and a large number of important middle- and high-level civil servants all arrived at Chaoyang Gate. In addition, hundreds of carriages and mule carts filled with gold and silver, and hundreds of camels carrying gold and silver also arrived at Chaoyang Gate.
It can be said that the real essence of Beijing is now concentrated in the Chaoyangmen Wengcheng and the nearby Chaoyangmen Street.
As long as he can bring these essences to Tongzhou, Zhu Cihong will have a lot of money in his hands!
"Is it Master Chitose?"
A clear female voice suddenly came, it was Wu Sanmei's voice. She has been acting with Huang Dabao for the past two days. In fact, she is watching Huang Dabao, the eunuch in charge of money, for Zhu Cihong - gold and silver worth more than five million taels of silver are now managed by Huang Dabao, Soy Sauce Huang, and Su Lao Mi and these people are responsible for the management! It's strange that Zhu Cixiang can rest assured, but he has no one available.
So Wu Sanmei, the future empress, came in handy. She led several old ladies from the East Palace and the maids stared at the boxes of gold and silver treasures. It is not completed until they are all transported to Chaoyangmen Wengcheng - all the entrances and exits in Wengcheng are sealed. Without Wu Sanfu's order, people like Huang Dabao, Soy Sauce Huang, and Su Laomi are not allowed to leave at all, let alone them. Hired coachmen, grooms and men. So Wu Sanmei also had some free time and wandered around, trying to find Zhu Cihong. She really found it!
"Third sister?" Zhu Cixiang was happy to see the eldest girl and asked her with a smile, "What is your third brother doing?"
"Him? He's pretending to be my second brother."
Pretending to be Wu Sangui? Do you want to scare Li Zicheng? Zhu Cixiang nodded, it was a good idea.
So he rode his horse and arrived in front of Wu Sanfu while talking to Wu Sanmei.
Wu Sanfu also saw Zhu Cixi and his sister coming together. Seeing his silly sister and the prince being so affectionate together, Wu Sanfu couldn't help but feel how beautiful he was.
If his sister becomes a queen, then he can at least get a prince!
He is a part of the wealthy land of Jiangnan!
"Master Qiansui!" Wu Sanfu did not dismount to greet him, but held his hands on his horse, "I am about to lead the troops to attack, so it is inconvenient for me to salute you. Please forgive me."
Zhu Cixiang waved his hand, "We are all members of our own family, what kind of ceremony are you doing? Are you going out? Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure!" Wu Sanfu said, "Sun Fugui, Wang Guoyong and Wang Huzi have already led the cavalry out... They should be able to drive away the rogue cavalry near Chaoyang Gate. I will lead these cavalry out again. Sneak around Tongzhou. When the pursuers of the bandits come, I will lead the cavalry to attack, pretending to be my second brother's men, and scare the bandits away. In this way, Qiantose Master can reach Tongzhou safely."
It turns out that Wu Sanfu really knows how to fight! And he also knows how to use some tactics. When he saw a group of big and strong generals yesterday, he came up with this method of pretending to be Wu Sangui to scare people.
More than 1,000 big men all have armor, can ride horses, and form a tight formation! You can completely pretend to be a servant in Guan Ning’s cavalry!
In fact, the Wu family's servants don't look as energetic as they do! The Han general was a big man carefully selected from all over Beizhili, and he had trained hard in the ranks. The armor he wore was also good. It looked like it was made by the Ming Dynasty when it was wealthy.
Pulling them onto the battlefield, as long as they don't encounter the elites of the old battalion of the real Manchurians and the bandits, ordinary enemies will be scared away - a thousand big armored cavalry! So neat! If he was really as capable as he looked, tens of thousands of infantrymen would have been crushed!
Zhu Cixiang clapped his hands and laughed: "Sanfu, you are still a talented general! What a clever plan! What a clever plan! Those big Han generals look quite intimidating, and they can definitely scare away the thieves."
Wu Sanfu cupped his hand and said, "Master Qiansui, I will take people out... You should hurry up and leave the city as soon as it gets dark."
