Chapter 1018: Broken Thoughts

Luo Rucai and Ji Jue naturally didn't care about the future and fate of Hao Jingchun and his subordinates, and they were detained in the Chinese army camp in Anding City in the fourth town of the Guards, and they didn't know the situation around Anding City at all.

If they knew that Hao Jingchun only had such a few people, and Wang Yuncheng, Wu Ruyi, and Wang Kesheng were not outside Anding City, they would never have recklessly let people bring a message to Hao Jingchun.

At the same time, Hao Jingchun was unwilling to rebel against the official army.

Luo Rucai and Ji Jue's thoughts, how could he not know?

The reason why Luo Rucai chose to surrender was just because there was no way to live in front of him, and he thought that he would temporarily surrender the official army and make a comeback in the future.

But Hao Jingchun really wanted to ask Luo Rucai and his Luo someone's strategist Ji Jue, after Cao Ying made a move to defect in Lintao City, he betrayed the court and the official army in the future, is there really a way to live?!

Even if Fengtian Changyi, the generalissimo of civil and military affairs, King Chuang Gao Yingxiang, didn't mind, but how could Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king, let them go?

At that time, maybe Luo Ru can be inferred that he was coerced by his subordinates, and then pick himself cleanly, but what good fruit can he Hao Jingchun eat?

In the final analysis, it was he, Hao Jingchun, who personally cut off the head of Zhang Xianzhong's right-hand man, Wang Fuchen, the fierce general of the Daxi Battalion!

However, this Hao Jingchun is worthy of being a trusted confidant that Luo Rucai once relied on, although he didn't dare to make trouble, and he didn't want to make trouble, but he didn't report these small actions made by Luo Rucai and Ji Jue to Meng Ruhu, or the commander of the fourth town of the Guards, Wang Tingchen, and the superintendent of the army, Ni Yuanlu.

After Hao Jingchun received Luo Rucai's message, he hesitated for most of the night, and in the end, he still made his own choice, as if nothing had happened, and sat calmly in his camp until dawn.

The next morning, Luo Rucai and Ji Jue, who had also sat nervously all night, knew that the general situation had gone, so they had to follow the guards who escorted the two of them to Beijing to take up their posts, left Anding, left the northwest, and went all the way to the Beijing division of the Ming Dynasty.

Along the way, Luo Rucai and Ji Jue, under the strict supervision of the 500 cavalry of the Guards led by Wu Sangui and Meng Xianjie, quickly dispelled the idea of waiting for an opportunity to escape, and honestly followed the team, walked Tongguan and entered Henan, and then went north, and finally arrived at the city of Beijing after a long journey of more than a month.

In order to imitate the accident on the road, Wu Sangui and Meng Xianjie had 500 soldiers, all of whom were armed with guns and knives, riding high-headed horses from the northwest.

The exceptions were Luo Rucai and Ji Jue, each of whom rode a lean mule.

Although the holy decree sent by Emperor Chongzhen to the northwest clearly stated that General Luo Rucai Mingwei was awarded, and the Jinyi Guard was actually awarded the position of commander Sizheng Sipin.

Including such a little-known person as Ji Jue, Emperor Chongzhen also gave an official position as the governor of the Jinyi Guard.

But Wu Sangui, who was born as a military attache in front of the imperial chamberlain, didn't take the two of them seriously at all, and treated the two of them as prisoners escorted into Beijing along the way.

If it weren't for Wu Sangui's confidence that Luo Rucai and Ji Jue would not have escaped under their noses, I am afraid that a prisoner car would have been prepared for each of them.

And Luo Rucai and Ji Jue also have such an awareness, knowing that the positions that Emperor Laozi gave him in the holy decree are not counted.

Especially for people like Luo Rucai, when you become a thief and an official, you have long known that if you don't have soldiers at hand, no one will take you seriously.

It's just a wrong step and a wrong step, and now, Rao is Luo Rucai is cunning like a fox, and he has no other way to deal with Wu Sangui, who is also scheming and extremely cold, but to live one day at a time, and then follow into Beijing first.

Not far from the Fucheng Gate in Beijing City, Wu Sangui, who was responsible for leading the escort, personally went to the urn city of Fucheng Gate to contact the matters of entering the city.

After all, such a fierce cavalry outside Beijing came to the city of Beijing, and it was impossible to enter the city in a daze without even saying hello.

On the battlefield in the northwest, no matter how fierce Wu Sangui was not afraid of death and killed people, he had to be more cautious at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Wu Sangui has a mansion in the city of Jingshi, and he graduated from the martial arts hall, and he was born as a military attache in front of the imperial court, so he has an understanding of the situation of each gate of the capital division.

Especially the identity of the former imperial attendant military attaché, at this time, it came in handy and played a big role.

Let's say that when Wu Sangui rode his horse into the city and went to contact the people to send people into the city, as well as the stationing of the generals and soldiers of the guards, he left Meng Xianjie with hundreds of other men and horses, and guarded Luo Rucai and Ji Jue from a distance of two miles from Fuchengmen.

"Mr. Ji! I see that we are about to enter the city of Beijing! As soon as I entered this city gate today, I don't know what year and month it will take to get out of this city gate! ”

Cao Cao Luo Rucai's figure was originally very tall, and his skeleton was also very large, but his body has always been thin, and now he has experienced the famine in the winter of Chongzhen for three years, and has experienced a long journey of thousands of miles from Anding City to Beijing City for a month, and the whole person is almost thin and out of appearance.

The unkempt hair was knotted haphazardly on the top of the head, dirty, and it hadn't been groomed in months.

With a pair of slender eyes, deep eye sockets, high cheekbones, collapsed cheeks, and a dirty beard, and the guards soldiers riding on horses with guns and knives in front and back, the whole person looks like a real prisoner.

Luo Rucai rode on the thin mule, stretched out his broad but bony palm, pointed to Fuchengmen in the distance, and said to Ji Jue:

"I really didn't expect that someone in my Luo would have such a day! I didn't expect that in the end, it was you Ji Jue who accompanied me Luo to this point!

"Mr. Ji, tell us Lao Luo, the two of us, when we entered this Beijing city today, is it a good luck or a murderer, and will there be a time when we will come out alive in the future?"

Ji Jue rode a group of thin mules and walked slightly in front of Luo Rucai, and when he heard Luo Rucai's words, he knew that he had not given up at this time, so he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The mule that Ji Jue was riding was very thin, and now Ji Jue was even thinner than the mule, and the dirty burqa on his body looked empty, as if a gust of wind could blow the whole person into the sky.

It's not that Wu Sangui deliberately treats the two of them harshly, on the contrary, there is no shortage of food and drink along the way.

Because the road they took to Beijing was not as in the northwest and there was still a famine.

By the time of Chongzhen's fourth year, Henan and Hebei were still poor, but after several years of vigorous immigration and reclamation, the local governments they passed through along the way still had some government stocks of grain.

Besides, Wu Sangui and the others also carried the holy decree of the imperial court and the emperor's edict, no matter where they went along the way, they never were polite to the local government, there was never a shortage of food and drink, and they lived well everywhere they went.

Moreover, Luo Rucai is still the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the commander of Si Zheng Sipin, and Wu Sangui and others know what is going on, but the officials along the way in Henan and Hebei don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the imperial court, so they naturally have to eat and drink well.

Therefore, the way they look now is completely because they don't think about tea and food along the way, can't eat and sleep, and can't sleep.

However, along the way, since he passed Baoding Mansion, Ji Jue has already thought about it, knowing that there is no chance.

Whether it is all over Henan or Hebei, the spring drought in Chongzhen is still the same for four years, but in all the places they pass through, there are groups of township warriors everywhere to practice, dredging ditches and digging deep wells under the auspices of the local government.

When they passed Baoding Mansion, the towns in the land of Gyeonggi in the Ming Dynasty were lined with merchants and merchants.

All of this touched Ji Jue deeply.

Ji Jue has read books, although he is not even a showman, but his background as a county official also gives him a different vision from Luo Rucai.

Since crossing Tongguan, what he has seen and heard along the way is very different from what he saw and heard a few years ago.

The drought in these places is still there, even no less than in Shaanxi and Gansu, but the hearts of the people in these places have settled down.

It is no longer the same pile of dry firewood that can be burned with a single fire, as it used to be.

Ji Jue thought about what he had seen and heard along the way after leaving Shaanxi, shook his head with a wry smile, and whispered to Luo Rucai sideways:

"O General! To this day, what can I say! Ji accompanied the general all the way to this place, and what he saw and heard along the way was very different from Shaanxi, Gansu and other places! Although the heavens and the earth are dry, the people's hearts are not in turmoil!

"In Ji's opinion, this world has been in turmoil for several years, and I am afraid that the destiny is still in the Ming after all! It is also Zhu Tianzi's days are still there, and his life should not be extinguished!

"If the general can trust Ji today, please listen to Ji's last words, or break off the past thoughts!"
