After Li Yuanyin issued the order, he saw a little girl on the ground, and asked Li Chengdong: "Father, who is this woman?" ”

"She is the shield I caught when I went out of the city, and looking at the silk and satin she wears, she looks like an official eunuch. It's useless now, it's killed! ”

The little girl had passed out after tossing and turning along the way. Li Yuanyin took out a handkerchief and wiped her face, and found that this little girl was extremely beautiful, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a round face of goose eggs, a pair of red phoenix eyes, two curved willow eyebrows, and a slender figure, which was exactly the type she liked.

Li Yuanyin's original surname was Jia, his family used to be a scholarly family in Henan, his father was a local lifter, and Li Yuanyin also read books when he was a child. But he didn't expect that his hometown was plagued by gangsters, his parents were killed, and he was also coerced into a homeless person. Later, he was photographed by Li Chengdong in the military camp and adopted as an adopted son.

Li Yuanyin is twenty-five years old this year, and he is also an older young man in this era, he has been fighting with his bandit adoptive father all the year round, and there is no shortage of women, but he lacks a really hearty wife. In addition, Li Yuanyin is literate and hyphenated, and he doesn't want to find those vulgar fans, so his major events will be delayed.

This time I finally saw a lovely one, and looking at the dress of this little girl, she should also be a child of a scholar's family, Li Yuanyin couldn't help but feel a little moved in her heart.

Li Chengdong looked at his son in a daze and asked, "Uncle Yuan, what's wrong with you?" Do you recognize her? ”

"No, Father! You see I'm so old and haven't started a family yet, I think this woman is good, why don't you ask my father to reward me! ”

It turned out that this was the case, Li Chengdong really took Li Yuanyin as his own son, and laughed when he said this: "Uncle Yuan, you finally have a woman in the picture, this woman should have a good background and should be worthy of my son." Father promised you that when you return to Fujian, I will hold a big wedding for you! ”

At this time, the little girl in Li Yuanyin's arms woke up and found herself lying in the arms of a strange man, so she was immediately ashamed and quickly struggled to sit up.

Li Yuanyin also found that the little girl was awake, so he quickly let go, stood up and replied, "This girl, you are awake." ”

The little girl looked around, and the bearded man who had kidnapped her was still on the side, and it seemed that she was not out of danger, and her big eyes were so frightened that they were like frightened bunnies. She looked at Li Yuanyin, who was standing in front of her, and she seemed to be a good person. said to Li Yuanyin: "This general, please let me go, my father will definitely repay you!" ”

Li Yuanyin hadn't spoken yet, but Li Chengdong spoke after he was relieved.

"Hey, hey! Girl! Who is your father! ”

The little girl didn't look like Li Chengdong, who was a good person, how dare she say who her father was, she hesitated and opened her mouth and said: "My father's surname is Dong, and he is a senior official under Emperor Shenwu!" If you let me go, he'll give you a lot of silver!" ”

"Silver has an egg, I'll tell you the truth! In Guangzhou, Lao Tzu arrested you to be a shield, and he killed you if it was useless. I didn't expect you to be blessed to come back here, my son has taken a fancy to you, and you will be a concubine for my son in the future! ”

That little girl was born noble, let alone being a concubine, even if she was a wife and a wife, her father couldn't agree. Now hearing Li Chengdong say this, the little girl was just about to open her mouth to distinguish it, but she didn't expect Li Chengdong's face to sink, and said: "If you don't agree to keep you, it's useless, then Lao Tzu will directly hack you to death!" ”

When the little girl saw Li Chengdong say this, she was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head and didn't dare to speak. I thought in my heart: "My father said that a good man will not suffer a loss in front of him, so he will promise to come down first, and he will have a chance to escape." Daddy should have found out that I was missing by now, and he would definitely send someone to find me! ”

Li Yuanyin saw that the little girl didn't speak, so he assumed that she agreed, and he was overjoyed. In the village, I also found an ox cart for the little girl to ride. Li Chengdong, who was watching, only pouted.

"Son, we're running for our lives, what are you doing with a carriage! What women don't have is that this dead dad will find you a better one! ”

Li Yuanyin's face turned red when his father said it, he actually liked this woman very much, and he also knew that it was inconvenient to travel with an ox cart for a long distance, but he was worried that the little girl was weak and couldn't stand the long journey.

"Dad, we have some horses, just use two horses to pull them, and the situation is in crisis halfway."

Seeing his son's resolute attitude, Li Chengdong shook his head and didn't say anything.

Here, Li Chengdong led the remaining 3,000 people to Fujian, but Guangzhou was in chaos.

After Li Chengdong ran away, there were still several hundred Qing troops left in the city of Guangzhou, and they were divided into several parts and occupied several mansions for each battle. At first, it did bring chaos to the city of Guangzhou, but with the Qing army in the palace being cleared, coupled with the subsequent artillery shipment, the outer walls of several mansions were breached, most of the Qing army was killed, and some surrendered to the Ming army.

From Li Chengdong's entry into the city in the middle of the night, it was not until the morning of the third day that order was restored in the city of Guangzhou, and Emperor Zhu Hongsan of Shenwu finally returned to his palace.

Zhu Hongsan, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, was afraid that there were still Qing troops in the city, so he ordered Duan Fei to send a thousand new troops to the dock to escort him. After seeing that the dock was safe, Zhu Hongsan got off the boat.

On the way back to the palace, Zhu Hongsan saw that the northern city was plagued by the Qing army, the streets were full of dead bodies, and part of the southern city was also burned by the Qing army, and a large number of shops were burned down.

The more Zhu Hongsan looked at it, the more gloomy his face became, and when he came to the gate of the palace and saw that his home was being harmed, Zhu Hongsan couldn't help it.

"Someone, command the Jinyi guard to send Qian Lide to prison, and ask him how he is doing! Did he put the Qing army in! Also, the defense of the Guangzhou General Army was unfavorable, and it actually made people enter over the wall, and the Guangzhou General Army and the Guangzhou Guard made a decision, and their families were assigned to Luzon mining! Who dared to touch Zhu Hongsan's brows at this time, Cao Fang hurriedly led someone down to deliver the message.

As soon as he arrived at the harem, Zhu Hongsan saw Zhu Luo, who was covered in blood, coming. Zhu Luo cried loudly when he saw Zhu Hongsan.

"Dad, my mother is gone!"

Hearing his daughter say this, Zhu Hongsan's face turned pale, and what he was most afraid of happened. In fact, when Zhu Hongsan escaped, he knew that the palace might not be safe, but after all, there were still 400 guards and soldiers in it, and it should be almost the same to protect the lives of his wife and children, but he didn't expect that his eldest wife still hadn't been saved.

Zhang Sanqiang, the deputy commander of the guard company who followed Zhu Luo, quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty of capital crimes, and he failed to protect the queen." ”

Zhu Hongsan shook his head and didn't say anything, just walked quickly to Ma Xiaofang's small building, where Ma Xiaofang's body was parked.

Zhu Hongsan opened the white cloth, and what caught his eye was Ma Xiaofang's gray-white face.

Zhu Hongsan looked at Ma Xiaofang, who had been with him for nearly 30 years, and couldn't help but think of the bits and pieces of Ma Xiaofang from acquaintance to love, the nonsense of his first acquaintance with Ma Xiaofang, the happy life after marriage with Ma Xiaofang, the birth of his first child, and the hardships of Ma Xiaofang and himself wandering thousands of miles south, Zhu Hongsan couldn't help but sing the song "The king asked me to patrol the mountains".

"Xiaofang, don't you like to hear me sing this song the most? I'll sing it to you one last time now! ”

The sun winked at me

The birds sang to me

I'm a hard worker

It's not a clingy leprechaun yet

Don't ask me where I'm from

Don't ask me where I'm going

I'm going to pluck the most beautiful flowers

Dedicated to my little public act

The king called me to patrol the mountains

I'll turn the world around

Beat my drums

Ring my gong

Life is full of rhythm

The king called me to patrol the mountains

Grab a monk and cook dinner

The water of this mountain stream

Incredibly sweet

Don't envy mandarin ducks, don't envy immortals!

Zhu Hongsan sang this song softly, Zhu Hongyi saw Zhu Hongsan's true feelings, sighed in his heart, and gently turned around and went out and closed the door.

After singing the song, Zhu Hongsan cried bitterly, which was the second time he cried bitterly since the death of his mother Zhao Chunhua. Zhu Hongsan has always felt that he has been ruthless, but now he finds that he still can't give up this true love for Ma Xiaofang.

The door of the small building was closed, and Zhu Hongyi stood in front of the door, and at this time, the civil and military ministers were standing in the courtyard waiting to meet the emperor. The courtyard was full of people, but no one spoke, everyone quietly listened to Zhu Hongsan singing in the house.

An hour later, the door opened, Zhu Hongsan stood at the door, he returned to that ruthless complexion, everyone didn't feel any change, but Zhu Hongsan himself knew that Zhu Hongsan, who still had a little tenderness in his heart before, died, and now he has become a complete cold-blooded emperor.

When later historians analyzed Shenwu Emperor Zhu Hongsan, they all regarded Ma Xiaofang's death as a watershed in Zhu Hongsan's psychological changes. In the past, no matter how ruthless Zhu Hongsan was, he would accompany several wives to eat every day, supervise the studies of several sons, and play with Zhu Luo and Zhu Yu. However, after the Guangzhou Incident in 1647, Zhu Hongsan completely became a cold-blooded emperor, and everything was based on maintaining his dominance, and there was no family affection for children at all. And all this started with Ma Xiaofang's death.

Zhu Hong stood on the steps expressionlessly, looked at the ministers in the courtyard, and said: "Decree, the general army of Guangzhou, the Guangzhou guard, the three thousand households on the left, the middle and the right are all razed by the three clans, and the Qing army has passed through the history of the prefectures and counties, the patrol inspection, and the hundred households of Jinyi Wei are all razed by the three clans, and the prefects of the prefectures and counties, the same governors, the magistrates, the county orders, and the county Cheng are all assigned to Luzon." The vacant officials shall be filled by agreement between the Cabinet and the Ministries. Qian Sanqiang, deputy commander of the guard company, was meritorious in guarding the palace and was awarded the title; Nanhai County ordered Li Fugui to rescue the palace in time, and he was named the uncle, and he was mentioned as the Tongzhi of Huizhou Mansion; The guard company, Jinyi guard, and Dongchang Fanzi who defended the palace were discussed by the Ministry of Rites. ”

Hearing that Zhu Hong cleaned up the magistrate three times, Chen Zizhuang hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, is this punishment too much!" ”

"Does the Prime Minister disagree?"

Chen Zizhuang found that Zhu Hongsan's words were wrong, and looked up at Zhu Hongsan, who happened to be opposite Zhu Hongsan's eyes. When he saw Zhu Hongsan's cold gaze, Chen Zizhuang was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "The minister has no opinion!" ”
