Chapter 724: Thanksgiving
There were nearly 20,000 people on both sides of the war, and those who were close to each other witnessed the scene of the "Emperor Yongchang of Dashun" being hit by an arrow, and tens of thousands of pairs of eyes watched this heroic man who had almost reached the peak of his life die under an arrow like this.
Under the watchful eye, Li Zicheng didn't struggle too much - this arrow was too domineering, it went straight through the entire body from the heart, and ended his life in an instant - it fell straight from the city, and no one could see that he couldn't survive.
Xia Nan took the lead in shouting: "Li Zicheng is dead, the first evil is ambushed, and the rest of the people put down their swords and guns and surrender, so they can avoid death!" ”
Yang Youji and the others led the soldiers of the guard battalion to shout in unison: "The first evil is ambushed, and those who surrender will not die!" ”
"The first evil is ambushed, and those who descend will not die!"
All the soldiers of the Qiong Navy shouted along, and their voices resounded over Zhengyangmen.
The cruel reality completely disintegrated the will to fight of the soldiers of the Dashun Army, they had planned to surrender, and now the Lord was about to die, and they had no intention of resisting, kneeling down in unison, throwing the blades in their hands to the ground, and the sound of "clanging" metal collision came and went.
The only resistance took place in the towers, which had been smashed into ruins by shells. Gao Guiying and Gao Yigong, with more than a dozen hardcore henchmen, refused to lay down their arms and surrendered, wielding their knives to resist, and slashing several Qiong Navy soldiers who received the prisoners. The soldiers who heard the news surrounded them, and their rifles and bayonets were pointed at them.
Gao Guiying said indignantly: "I am the empress of Emperor Dashun, and I would rather die than surrender!" ”
Gao Yigong shouted to the city: "Xia Nan, you despicable villain, set a trap to lure us into being fooled, became the executioner for you, and then crossed the river and demolished the bridge." You borrowed a knife to kill people and forced Chongzhen to death, with sinister intentions, sooner or later it will be known by the world, just wait for the stench to be left for 10,000 years! ”
In the summer, Nan Zema walked a few steps closer to the city tower, raised his head and replied loudly: "If you become a king or lose a villain, since you plan to fight for the world, you must afford to lose." Anyway, the left and right are dead, so why not walk decently? Do you think that this slanderous remark can discredit me? One of you is the Empress of Dashun, and the other is the brother-in-law of the Emperor of Dashun, and he is also considered a 'relative of the emperor', after his death, I will bury you and this Emperor Yongchang, and it is not in vain that I will meet your husband and brother-in-law, so rest assured that you will go on the road! ”
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and waved it lightly, and the Qiong naval soldiers at the head of the city understood, raised their bayonets and stabbed them together, stabbing Gao Guiying and Gao Yigong and others into hedgehogs. At this point, except for Liu Zongmin of Deshengmen, Tian Jianxiu of Chaoyangmen and a few other people, Li Zicheng's descendants were almost wiped out, and the Dashun regime, which had left a strong mark in history, disappeared.
The overall situation has been decided, but Xia Nan, who should be in a good mood, has a somewhat complicated mood, and there is a lingering sense of guilt. He remembered the scene of Zhu Yujiao resolutely jumping off the city wall, and a poem came to mind: Poor as a flower and a jade girl, born in the family of the emperor in the last days. He still has a good impression of Zhu Yujiao, who saved his life, from the eccentricity when he first saw him, to the adventure to help him escape, this princess Kunxing is obviously more popular than Chongzhen, who is stubborn and self-serving. Now that Xiang Xiaoyu has died, although it is Li Zicheng, it has something to do with himself, and it is false to say that he is not guilty.
"It's a pity, you should have enjoyed life in the palace at a young age, but you have to carry such a heavy mission, who let you be born in the emperor's family?" Xia Nan drove the war horse close to the place where Zhu Yujiao fell, and instructed the left and right, "Find the body of Princess Kunxing and transport it to the royal mausoleum for burial." ”
At this moment, a faint voice suddenly emerged from the pile of corpses.
"Why was you born in the emperor's family? How did you speak like my father, he said this, and now you say it again......"
Xia Nan was surprised and delighted, this was clearly Zhu Yujiao's voice. He jumped off the horse and walked towards the place where the sound came from, and sure enough, he found Zhu Yujiao lying on a pile of corpses, although she was covered with blood, but her black eyes kept spinning, obviously no big problem.
He was in a good mood, that trace of guilt disappeared, and he turned his head to call someone to come over and help Zhu Yujiao up. However, Zhu Yujiao whispered: "It's okay for you to help me, I don't want other irrelevant men to touch me......"
After making sure that her life was not in danger, Xia Nan was also in the mood to joke, and he smiled while reaching out to help: "I seem to be an irrelevant man, besides, you are lying on top of this pile of stinky men, and you have already been touched." "Perhaps it was these layers of corpses that served as a buffer that allowed Zhu Yujiao to survive.
Zhu Yujiao replied calmly: "These people are all dead people, not the same. It's true that you're a man, but it's not irrelevant to me, I saved you, and you saved me today, that's a certainty in the dark. ”
Xia Nan was a little embarrassed, and didn't answer the second half of the sentence, it was true that Zhu Yujiao had saved him, but it was difficult to say whether he could save Zhu Yujiao's life, maybe if he didn't appear, Zhu Yujiao might not be in danger of his life. He reached out and grabbed Zhu Yujiao's right arm, supported her back with his left hand, and wanted to help her stand up, but when her foot touched the ground, Zhu Yujiao showed a painful look, and her foot almost fell.
"Foot pain, about broken ......"
Xia Nan patted his head, "Look at my stupidity, if I fall so high, even if I save my life, my leg will break." He turned his head and ordered, "Go find a sedan chair, send the princess back to the palace, and then find Lang Zhong...... No, there is a doctor in the palace, so find a doctor to treat the princess's injuries. ”
Zhu Yujiao's body trembled slightly, I don't know if it was because of pain or fear.
"Can you not send me back to the palace for the time being? I can go anywhere, I don't want to go back at this time, my father and mother are all dead in it......"
"This ......" Xia Nan made a difficulty, he led the troops into Beijing to fight, he had no fixed residence, and he was surrounded by big men, how to place a little girl? No matter how depressed Zhu Yujiao is, she is still the princess of the Ming Dynasty, so she can't sleep with the wind and food, right?
At this time, the soldier found a sedan chair, and Xia Nan wanted to help Zhu Yujiao into the sedan chair first, so he naturally reached out to the other side to help her left arm, but unexpectedly touched the air. He thought it was his own delusion, and he pulled his hand a few times, but he couldn't find his arm.
Zhu Yujiao said faintly: "Don't scratch, my left arm has been cut off......"
Xia Nan was a little shocked, she was still a lively little girl when she first met, why did she suddenly become disabled? There was a one-armed god and nun based on her in the old time and space, but wasn't that all made up?
"Who dares to offend the princess......"
"It was cut down by my father's own hand." Zhu Yujiao's tone was light, as if this arm belonged to someone else, "Just after I saved you." He blames me for ruining his plans......"
Xia Nan was stunned, it turned out that this arm was actually broken for herself.
After he was stunned for a moment, he came back to his senses, carefully helped Zhu Yujiao to get into the sedan chair, and said firmly: "Please rest assured, princess, Xia is not a person who doesn't know what to do." The princess has suffered so much for me, I know what to do, and I will arrange everything. ”
