Great Ming National Teacher

Chapter 51 Forcing the Palace

Li Zicheng's troops were far less brave and sturdy than the Eight Banners Army. After being hit head-on, they quickly retreated crying and retreating.

The generals of the dry army have not yet recovered from the earthquake and mountain shaking under the roar of artillery fire. The team has collapsed and returned, everyone is wounded and covered in blood. The hillside is filled with choking black smoke. craters and broken bodies.

Li Zicheng's generals looked at each other, and they all saw fear in each other's eyes. Why is the firearm of this Ming army so powerful!Moreover, the rate of fire was too fast, the gunshots were almost continuous and never stopped, the shells were fired in half a cup of tea, and there were too many shells that could be thrown from the top of the head.

Undoubtedly, this is a difficult bone to crack. If you try to force it, even if you take it off, you will have to break two teeth.

Li Zicheng rode his horse forward: "Tomorrow the general will come out and speak!"

Li Yunya got off his horse and walked up to the shield wall, standing on the steps with half of his body exposed. His personal guard held up a small shield to protect the front to prevent the opponent from shooting cold arrows. Li Yunya waved the national teacher's banner from behind: "Are you Li Zicheng? Call me the national teacher Come out, what do you want to say?"

Li Zicheng is 26 years old this year, with a dusty face and a very burly figure. He saw that Li Yunya was tall and tall. He didn't wear Taoist robes, nor did he wear the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty. His face was full of aloofness, and he was surprised in his heart. He never thought that this young man was the legendary evil spirit who harmed the country. He looked like a young man from a rich family who never touched the sun. No wonder those scholars said that he belonged to the little Emperor Chongzhen. Male favorite, this temperament is really different.

Although Li Yunya often trains with soldiers, after all, the amount of training is too different. He is just a physical exerciser. Compared with Zhu Youjian, he is a muscular man, but when he meets a real muscular man like Li Zicheng, he will He has become a weak scholar, at best he is a stronger scholar.

Li Ziben wanted to persuade the enemy to surrender, saying that the demon way disrupted the country, suppressed dissidents, corrupted power, etc. He was even worse than Wei Zhongxian back then. The Ming dynasty was exhausted, so he was asked to surrender to Daqian. I didn't expect that he was the demon way that disrupted the country. I was so full of words that I couldn’t come up with them. I was eager to change my words, but I couldn’t find any reason. The only thing I thought of was that there is a script written by a scholar in Chang’an City, saying that this monster is seductive. The matter of splitting peaches and short sleeves with the little emperor Chongzhen was vivid, especially after Li Yunya killed Queen Zhou's father, this drama was even more exciting, even how Li Yunya and Zhu Youjian were in the Qianqing Palace Fooling around, why was bumped into by Queen Zhou, why Zhu Youjian became so angry that he wanted to throw the queen into limbo, etc., every sentence was clearly said, as if they had seen it.

But there are still many people who believe it among the people. Li Zicheng suddenly said something: Our Emperor Dagan is physically strong. Moment swallowed this sentence back in time.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Yunya sneered: "You, are you trying to persuade me to surrender?"

Li Guo, who was behind Li Zicheng, saw that Li Zicheng was stunned and speechless, and he didn't want to lose his momentum. He immediately stepped forward and cursed: "Monster way! You are messing up the country, making the people in the world miserable, and the people are displaced. It is more widespread than Wei Zhongxian's poisoning. My emperor is acting on behalf of the heavens, and is dedicated to killing monsters like you!" He waved his iron gun, "I will catch you later, and take you back to Chang'an City to be hacked to pieces!"

Li Yunya wondered: Who are you?Did I ask you to mess with you?As for hating me so much?

He had no expression on his face, still cold. After Li Guo finished speaking, he said in a deep voice: "The ignorant grassroots! I am Feng Yuanxing Immortal who descended from the lower realm, and helped the Zhu family avoid the catastrophe of the end of the world. I fought against the Great Wall, and you are just a bunch of chickens and dogs in my eyes, and you can be wiped out with just a wave of your hand!"

There was a lot of clamor from the Qianjun side. Li Guo and other generals immediately launched an attack again. This time they did not attack all sides at the same time. They dropped all their troops to one side and formed a semi-arc. .

The slope was neither high nor steep, but the Qinglong Army's firearms were too fierce. After charging for more than half an hour this time, the Gan army still failed to touch the edge of the shield wall, and retreated without command.

Just as Li Zicheng was organizing his team, Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Bianjiao came back, and more than ten thousand elite cavalry began to charge. The charge collapsed in an instant, Li Zicheng fled in a hurry under the protection of dozens of Chinese cavalry, Lu Xiangsheng chased after him, hacking dozens of people to death with his sword, until Li Zicheng was chased so that he abandoned his horse and fled into the forest.

When he came back, it was already dark, and Li Yunya sent sentry cavalry to find out the situation of Hao Yaoqi's troops in the southeast.

The rest of the people buried pots and cooked food on the spot, cleaned the battlefield, rescued the wounded first, mainly on their own side, and gathered up the bodies of the dead brothers, cremated them after confirming their identities, and brought the ashes back later. The injury was also healed, and the serious injury was sent to make up the knife.

In this battle, the Qinglong Army with a main force of [-] repelled more than [-] cadres, beheaded dozens of enemy generals, and captured six of them alive.

Li Yunya led a total of more than 3 people this time. In addition to the 20 main force, there were also [-] new recruits, who were responsible for escorting food and grass, collecting prisoners and other logistical work. The nearly [-] peasant army was defeated, and only those who could escape with the main general A very small part, most of them are in the wilderness, some are injured and cannot run, some are too tired to run, and some don't know where to run at all.

Li Yunya asked the new army to collect the prisoners with swords, gathered them overnight, and counted the next morning, there were more than 7000 people in total, and besides most of the old and weak, there were more than 1 young and strong.

Li Yunya asked the recruits to lead them to build prisoner-of-war camps outside Taiyuan City. There is one camp for every thousand people, and it is estimated that one hundred will be built.

Regarding the treatment of these prisoners of war, as long as they don’t run or make trouble, they are not allowed to beat and scold at will. Every day, four pieces of salty corn tortillas and two bowls of millet porridge are given. Let them return to their hometowns. These prisoners have hope in their hearts, and they all stay inside obediently. Some of them are waiting for an opportunity to make trouble. Without a second word, they are pulled out and chopped down on the spot!

Li Yunya sent his troops to the south and headed straight to Fenzhou, where the Gan army had already been beaten down. Gao Yingxiang's imperial driver personally marched, and Luanjia was in the city of Fenzhou, and more than 50 peasant troops gathered nearby.

Just when Li Yunya wanted the soldiers to have a full meal and then set off, an express letter came from the Military Intelligence Department, urgently reporting from the capital!

Just after Li Yunya led the army through the Taihang Mountains and entered Shanxi, the chief assistant Wen Tiren led six cabinet scholars and took the lead in asking the emperor to deal with Li Yunya. .

Zhu Youjian naturally refused, and reprimanded them severely. In the next day, the nobles also took the lead to stand up and demand to deal with Li Yunya. The descendants of Hou Bos echoed the officials and asked the emperor to cut Li Yunya into pieces.

Zhu Youjian found that something was wrong, so he pretended to be shaken, saying that he would consider it, and then hurriedly sent someone to recruit Wu Sangui into the palace.

It's a pity that the Jin Yiwei he sent out to look for Wu Sangui had already been bought, and the secret edict was sent directly to Wen Tiren's home. Wen Shangshu found out that the emperor was going to transfer the Qinglong Army into the palace, and sensed the urgency of the situation, and immediately started to do it.

The Forbidden City was isolated from the inside and outside, and Zhu Youjian was controlled in the palace, and then ordered Jin Yiwei to close all the gates of the city with the emperor's will, so as to keep Wu Sangui's Qinglong army out of the city.

The honorable ministers headed by Wen Tiren broke into the Qianqing Palace. Zhu Youjian was sitting calmly drinking tea behind the Longshu table. Seeing them coming in, he knew that the situation was over. Can't kill the king?"

Wen Tiren took the lead and knelt down, holding an imperial decree in his hand: "Your Majesty will never dare to have the idea of ​​killing the king! I only hope that your majesty will care about the common people in the world, put the ancestors' society as the most important thing, punish the demons, set things right, and bring peace to all people in the world." heart of!"

Chen Xinjia, the servant of the Ministry of War, said loudly: "Don't you know, Your Majesty, that the people of the world wish to eat the flesh and drink the blood of that demon, and if your majesty favors that demon again, he will probably be cast aside by the people of the world along with him." !"

"Bastard!" Zhu Youjian raised his hand and threw the cup away, hitting Chen Xinjia's face, and the uncooled tea spilled all over Chen Shilang's face. What have you done? Other than cheating the superior and the inferior, corrupting the law, what else have you done? Yunya beat Jiannu for me! Where were you people when Huang Taiji came? Why don’t you go out of the city? For me, Going to fight with Jiannu for all the people in this world? In two years, Yunya gave me a total of more than 300 million taels of silver, which was used for disaster relief in various places and paid by the guards. What about you? Haoshe, which one is the one with a clean sleeve? I let you share the difficulties, where were you all when you donated for the country? Now that Yun Ya leads the army to Shanxi to suppress the rebellion, you have turned against the heavens?"

Suddenly, Jin Yiwei came to report from outside, saying that there were three regiments of Qishawei who asked to enter the city.

"Hold him and let Tengxiang Four Guards go!" Wen Tiren came over with the imperial decree, "Time is urgent, and please allow the emperor to deal with Yao Dao and his henchmen."

"Don't think about it!" Zhu Youjian went to the military academy to live with Li Yunya for a period of time every summer, and he also had some military temperament on him, and he said this firmly.

Wen Tiren yelled: "Please show the emperor's dragon seal!" But he didn't dare to go forward, after all, they pulled Zhu Youjian with their hands today, and they would leave an indelible stain in the future, Wen Tiren yelled again, "Don't hurry up and end this place , when Wu Sangui leads the Azure Dragon Army to rush in, we will all be executed!"

At this time, the nobles and the ministers looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth and surrounded them together.
