"What? The emperor and the crown prince of the Zhu family are out of the city? So who's on the Zhengyang Gate? ”

On the upper floor of Yongding Gate, Li Zicheng, who was waiting to watch Chen Yongfu attack the city, saw the Chuanqi Tang horse sent by Li Guo at this time, and immediately frowned.

Why did the two Chongzhen Emperors pop up all of a sudden?

Which one is real, the one who escaped from the city or the one who stayed on the Zhengyang Gate?

"Great Army Division!" Li Zicheng said to Song Xiance beside him, "Calculate the amount, where is the son of the Zhu family?" ”

Song Xiance listened to Li Zicheng's question, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. How can this be calculated? I really think I'm a god!

But he didn't dare to say to Li Zicheng that he wouldn't count, how could he say it, what happened to pinch his fingers so many times before? Fooling the king to play? Do you want a head?

So he had no choice but to pinch his fingers, one, two, three, four, five, so he really had something to say: "Your Majesty, the son of the Zhu family seems to be a little angry, and I am afraid that he may not die in Beijing...... However, as long as His Majesty can pass the hurdle of full tartars, whether he is dead or alive, the world will be smooth. The key now is to be full of tartars! ”

If you say it, you don't say it!

Li Zicheng is also accustomed to this Song Xiance talking about the clouds and mountains and fog, anyway, he will think about it himself, and after thinking about it carefully, he nodded and said: "Yes, it doesn't matter if he is in Zhengyangmen or going to Yongping, he is arrested!"

Go and give Huang Hu an order, tell him to send troops immediately, block all the roads to Yongping, and cooperate with Laiheng's nephew to wipe out the Zhu thieves who fled to the northeast!

As for the Zhu thief on the Zhengyang Gate! Hehe, let Chen Yongfu, Bai Guangen, and Wang Chenger immediately attack the three gates of Xuanwu, Zhengyang, and Chongwen...... Whoever breaks the city first will make him a marquis! ”

After the will of the first to break the city to be the Hou was passed on, the attack on the inner city of Beijing was officially launched.

Li Zicheng's army marched all the way after occupying Datong, and the troops were basically lightly armed, not to mention the red-coated artillery, and even the Franc machine gun was not brought. With only a few scaring tiger cannons, they are now placed in many small alleys on the south bank of the moat outside the southern wall of the inner city.

After receiving the order to open fire, there was a crackling and indiscriminate beating at the head of the city, in fact, it was impossible to break the Zhengyangmen tower, except for a sound, that is, the iron sand sprayed out of the cannon mouth hit the battlement, causing some gravel to splash in all directions, knocking a few temporary soldiers of "one or two silver mixed for a day", hurting them, and immediately screamed, and the team defending the city was about to disperse.

The Jinyi guards under Luo Yangxing's command took three taels of silver a day, and they were more desperate, shouting loudly, and beating with the embroidered spring knife inserted in the sheath, trying to maintain order.

But this chaotic scene still fell into the eyes of Luo Yangxing, Gao Yushun and the fake Chongzhen who were standing at the window of the arrow tower and watching the battle.

All three of them let out a long sigh in unison. These people are simply a rabble, how can they hold it?

Moreover, Zhengyangmen has been equipped with "elite soldiers and strong generals", with Luo Yangxing's most confidant Jinyi Wei and Gao Yu's cronies and eunuchs pulled out from the palace to press the formation. How much can you carry a few times, and elsewhere, it's just a void. I'm afraid that as soon as the Liukou Cloud Ladder comes up, the team will have to disperse.

As for the people in the inner city, it is even more absent. The emperor and the crown prince ran away from Dongzhimen and Chaoyangmen, and many people in the inner city and middle- and lower-level officials knew about it. I'm afraid that many people are opening the door to welcome the idea again......

Thinking of surrendering, Luo Yang and Guang Shiheng couldn't help but glance at Gao Yushun, the dead eunuch. Now he's the hardest!

Just when Luo Yang and Guang Shiheng wanted to open their mouths to persuade Gao Yushun to surrender early, there was a rush of footsteps, and someone rushed into the arrow tower. Luo Yangxing turned his head and saw that it was his little brother Luo Xiu.

"Second brother, why are you here?" Luo Yangxing was stunned, "Didn't you follow Master Chitose?" ”

"Big brother," Luo Xiushen stepped forward quickly and took out three edicts from his arms, "I'm not leaving, Master Chitose has a heavy responsibility to entrust him." ”

"What's the big deal?" Luo Yangxing stomped his feet, "The rogue will come in immediately......"

"Don't be afraid! There is this! Luo Xiushen smiled and handed over the order in his hand.

"Hey, when is it?" Guang Shiheng, who was still wearing a dragon robe, couldn't cry and laughed, "Is this decree for Li Zicheng?" ”

Luo Xiushen actually nodded, "Yes!" These three decrees were given to Li Zicheng. ”

"What?" Guang Shiheng was happy, "Li Zicheng will listen to his prince?" ”

"yes, what's the use of this decree?" Luo Yangxing couldn't cry or laugh, how could he be enough to be cunning and cunning as a brocade guard, right? How can there be such a stupid brother?

"It works!" Luo Xiushen smiled, "I've seen it all...... Otherwise, it wouldn't have stayed! These three edicts are used to prove that the eldest brother, Mr. Gao, and Mr. Guang are rare loyal and righteous people. The prince calls this a certificate of loyalty! ”

"What? What do you mean? Luo Yangxing was stunned and stunned.

"It proves that you are all loyal and righteous people, and it was the Chitose Lord who ordered you to save your lives as retainers...... The three of you didn't agree to it, but Chitose couldn't bear to let the loyal die in vain, so he ordered you to surrender. ”

The three of them looked at each other, and they were all a little grateful to Zhu Cihong in their hearts.

Although Zhu Cihong had already asked them to surrender after a period of delay, it was really hard to say how Li Zicheng would say to the three surrendering factions...... Maybe the sacrificial flag will be cut down.

But now Zhu Cihong personally gave them a certificate, proving that they are rare loyal and righteous people! Can Li Zicheng still kill them?

After Li Zicheng entered the city of Beijing, he had to regard himself as orthodox, and of course he had to hold a loyal and righteous person. How can you kill three at once, and they are all loyal and righteous people certified by the Ming state? Will loyal and righteous people dare to come to take refuge in the future?

There are few such nationally certified loyal and righteous people since ancient times, even if they are not reused, they have to be provided as an example, so as to tell the world that this emperor is a great benevolent monarch! Can you cut it all at once? Doesn't this mean putting a tyrant sign around your neck? Who will take refuge in the future?

Not to mention, although Zhu Cihong, the prince, is insidious and cunning, he is still very reasonable...... really won't let his subordinates die, that is, put them to death, and give them a certificate of loyalty, and "order" them to surrender to save their lives as two ministers and three ministers.

It is also said that it is impossible to let the few loyal people in the world die in vain!

A king who can think about his subordinates like this is really rare in ancient times!

Luo Yangxing sighed: "I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be so benevolent and righteous......

Guang Shiheng also said: "If the saint can have the benevolence of the prince, why is the country like this? ”

Gao Yushun listened to the words of the two and smiled bitterly: "What is this?" We are still grateful for selling us...... The resurrection of Emperor Taizu Gao is nothing more than that! ”

Luo Xiushen only followed Zhu Cihong for a few days, but he also admired Zhu Cihong's benevolence and righteousness, and nodded immediately: "If Daming can have such a benevolent monarch, there will definitely be a day when he will return to Beijing in the future!" Let's just be patient. ”

At this moment, the sound of shouting and killing came from downstairs in Zhengyangmen City!

The first siege of King Chuang's army has begun!

Luo Yangxing put away the "Certificate of Loyalty", and then said to Gao Yushun and Guang Shiheng: "Master Chitose treats us like this, we can't be too cowardly...... How many battles do you have to top, right? Let's go out and supervise the war! ”

The brocade guards and "temporary soldiers" on the arrow tower of Zhengyangmen did not know that Emperor Chongzhen in the arrow tower was fake, so when they saw Luo Yangxing and Gao Yushun protecting Emperor Chongzhen coming out to supervise the battle, the army's heart suddenly stabilized. And then boxes of silver were picked out!

The emperor is fake, but the silver is real, and the Zhengyangmen urn city is also a real fortified city, with rolling wood, stones, 10,000 enemies (a kind of incendiary bomb used to defend the city), Franc machine, and red-clothed cannons. There are also a lot of wooden curtains, cloth curtains, leather curtains, and wooden signs used to cover the arrowheads, and there are also a lot of wooden curtains, and in the places where the urn city is connected to the main city wall, it is also blocked with a Saimen knife car, a wooden female head, and a wooden female wall, which is completely a fortress that is difficult to overcome!

As long as the defenders themselves do not surrender, with the siege ability of the king's army, there is really no trick for a while.

Li Zicheng can now understand the power of the loyal and righteous people under Zhu Cihong!
