The refugees went south, and Li Xin led his army north, and everywhere he passed was desolate, as if there was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. The county seat of Jizhou was burned and plundered, and the county seat of Shenzhou was also a ruined wall, and it was still full of messes when it arrived in Raoyang. I don't see a single Ming people, and I don't see a trace of Tartars.

The spies who were scattered out reported one after another, and there was not even half a Tartar within a radius of dozens of miles.

Li Xin suddenly felt strange, and everyone was also confused.

"Ha, haha, Dolgon is going to leave this king and go out alone!"

Hauge, who has been crazy and taciturn for several days, suddenly came to his throat, which reminded Li Xin that the reason why he had never seen the Tartar army all the way north, the biggest possibility was that Dolgon went north, but it seemed that the gain outweighed the loss by capturing only a small Gaoyang and leaving, right?

Zhou Jin, who was tied to the horse, had already noticed Haoge who was treated the same as him, but this person seemed to have something mentally wrong, and he had never had the opportunity to find out the origin of this person.

Zhou Jin's donkey temper came up again, "Hey, Li ...... Li Jiaoxi, that madman talks nonsense, you don't care? ”

Lu Jiu had been behind Zhou Jin, his legs lightly clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse ran a few steps and came to Zhou Jin's side.

"Do you know what this man's name is?"

"How does this official know!" Zhou Jin glared at Lu angrily, compared to Li Xinlai, he didn't look down on Lu Jiu, this guy was simply an out-and-out thief, and he was originally a horse thief.

Lu Jiu didn't care, leaned over, and said word by word: "Love Xinjue Luo Haoge!" ”

"Love New Awakening ......"

Zhou Jin first unconsciously repeated half a sentence, and then seemed to realize something, and exclaimed: "Hauge? ”

Xu is tone was high, and the people around him looked at Zhou Jin like a monster. The cavalry around here are all Li Xin Lu Jiu's henchmen, so they naturally know that Hao Ge is fine, but Zhou Jin feels that it is really incredible.

"This, how, how can it be Hauge? It can't be a fake! ”

Hauge seemed to be insulted and ridiculed: "The prisoner of sin on that horse has to say in vain, this king will not change his name and sit or change his surname, how can he say that he is pretending!" But you fool has eyes and doesn't know gold and jade. ”

Immediately afterwards, Haoge scolded Zhou Jin, and he was speechless.

Although Zhou Jin has been an official the size of a mung bean for more than ten years, he has always been admired and respected, and he has been humiliated again and again since he met this Li thief, and he almost gritted his teeth with hatred. It's just that Zhou Jin was angry, and the effect of losing two front teeth was revealed, and his words were leaking, and the image that could be concealed before was ruined.

"Shi can be killed, but it is not humiliating, Li Thief kill me quickly!"

Zhou Jin's ideological logic is really strange, he quarreled with that madman, saying that people would be angry with Li Xin.

Lu Jiu was never used to him, and immediately ordered someone to stuff a ball of rags into Zhou Jin's mouth. The two soldiers subdued him in just a few strokes, Zhou Jin struggled desperately but to no avail, his mouth was drinking and helplessly holding a ball of rags and he couldn't spit out half a word, and his old face was red.

Lu Jiu watched this relief from the sidelines, he was the thirteenth brother who was embarrassed in every way at the beginning, and now he wants to make him taste the pain of being bullied. But this kind of person is like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, I am afraid it will be difficult to understand for the rest of my life!

At the same time, Li Xin also found out that Lu Jiu was bullying Zhou Jin again, and hurriedly came forward to stop it, Zhou Jin really hated it, just teach a lesson, he is also the official of the eighth grade of the imperial court, and he constantly humiliates him, in case he can't stand it, and if he tosses it out again, the mental trauma will not be good.

Li Xin personally pulled out the rags in Zhou Jin's mouth, and said with a smile: "The Sect Lord has suffered, don't be like them, they are all rough people." ”

Zhou Jin originally wanted to scold a few people again, but Li Xin said so, as a scholar, didn't he lose his identity with their general knowledge? The words came to his lips and he took them back.

Seeing Haoge who was looking at him strangely on the side, looking at himself like a monkey, the fire that Zhou Jin had suppressed rose again.

"I ask you...... Ah......h

Lu Jiu hugged his head and gave Zhou Jin a slap, "With whom is the official and the official?" Call the General! ”

Zhou Jin glared angrily, this time he hesitated, he didn't scold lightly, he was not afraid of being beaten, but he was afraid of this kind of mental humiliation, even no matter how tough a man is, he knows the truth of not suffering immediate losses. After half the weather, I finally held back and didn't say a word.

Lu Jiu didn't give up, and slapped the top of his head again. That Zhou Jin was also beaten a lot, and his reaction was much faster, and he turned his head to dodge, but he didn't expect Lu Jiu to throw his backhand back, and it was slapping him in the face.

"Don't you have something to ask? Why don't you ask? ”

Li Xin pretended to be too lazy to pay attention to these two people, and was just about to urge the horse to leave, but he heard Zhou Jin say:

"Teach and learn, but do you want to go back to Gaoyang? Please be sure to look for it, find the whereabouts of the old man. ”

Li Xin didn't answer, and urged the horse to go to the front of the team, Gao Yang was going to go anyway, and he was waiting for the probe horse sent to Gao Yang to investigate. Finally, when it was dark, Tanma reported that Gaoyang City had been burned for three days and three nights, and now it was a white land, a dead city.

Could it be that the Tartars slaughtered the city? Li Xin's heart tugged, this kind of possibility is not nothing. He once asked Zhou Jin about the situation when the city was broken, it was Sun Ge Lao who was forcibly taken away by Lu Zhifan's soldiers, and he also broke out of the siege as soon as possible. Many of the people also came out, but after all, more than half of the people remained in the city, and it is really difficult to know whether these people will live or die.

Li Xin was even more worried, the army of Tartars seemed to have evaporated from the world, where did Dorgon and Dudu go? groped all the way, marched overnight, and finally arrived at Gaoyang before midnight.

A bright moon on the horizon exuded a cold glow, and the ruins and broken walls and the smell of burning that still lingered in the air reminded Li Xin that there were no people here. The cement city wall that he had hoped would change history has also been destroyed into several sections, and the people of the city have either fled or the entire city has been reduced to ashes, and Sun Chengzong's life and death are unknown.

A trace of confusion suddenly rose in Li Xin's heart, which had never been seen since the crossing. He thought that he had a wit, but he didn't expect that after the wheel of history went around in a big circle, he desperately ran towards the original trajectory, and he wanted to stop it, was it too late to stop it?

……

The morning sun is rising, and the golden light fills the Beijing city wall, making it majestic and majestic. What can be extremely incommensurate with this is the deafening shouting of killing, and the Daming Jingshi is experiencing wave after wave of attacks.

The Ming army who surrendered to the city was driven away and the Ming people, this is the consistent trick of the Tartars, the new eunuchs on the city wall, calm and calm, the Beijing city wall is four feet and five feet high, how can it be so easy to be on the top?

The rolling wood thunder stone fell, and the ant attached army that climbed up the ladder fell down the city one after another, most of these people were still the people of the Ming Dynasty a month ago, but now they have gone from the Tartars, attacking the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty, they are thieves, the eunuch of the prison army has no mercy, he is on the female wall, looking at the distance Daxu, is it Dolgon below? Is that all you have to do?

Suddenly, the pupils of the eunuch of the prison army contracted suddenly, and rows of huge iron cannons were pushed to the front of the formation, this, isn't this the Hongyi cannon? He once went to Liaodong to supervise the army, so he naturally knew this cannon. The Hongyi cannon was shot out and all the eroded within three miles, where did the Tartars get the Hongyi cannon? There is no such thing as a Tartar in his intelligence and a Hongyi cannon!

The rumbling sound of the Hongyi cannon shook the eunuchs of the prison army, and the six gods had no master.

In the Forbidden City, the early dynasty has been dispersed, and the great emperor Zhu Youzhen specially left Yang Sichang behind to discuss the current situation. The Tartar is just outside the city, and Zhu Youzhen, who is the son of the great tomorrow, has trouble sleeping and eating. Moreover, he was beaten under the capital by the Tartars several times, which was unprecedented in the Ming Dynasty, and he was really ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors under the nine springs.

Although Yang Sichang can give advice, he is not a general who leads the troops, and the Tartar soldiers are coming to the city, and he asks himself that it is more than enough to protect himself with the battalion soldiers in Beijing. If he is allowed to come up with any way to retreat from the enemy, the only way to do it is to gather all the soldiers and horses in the world.

As early as more than a month ago, the emperor had issued an edict ordering the soldiers and horses of the world to be kings, but the vast majority of the local general soldiers were prevaricated, and they are still waving their flags to this day. It is also in vain to say that the control of the Beijing Division Center over the local soldiers and horses has been weakened again and again after the Tatars entered the customs several times.

The available troops today are the Liaodong Guanning Army and the Shaanxi Army. But Guan Ning's army was completely annihilated by Dolguan in the first battle of Lixian, and the eunuch Gao Qi of the prison army was missing. If the Guanning army was still there, how could he Dolgon dare to attack Beijing City so blatantly?

Hong Chengchou Sun Chuanting's Shaanxi army is no less powerful than the Guanning army, and it has fought a decisive battle with Liukou all the year round, and it has also trained a division of a hundred battles, but it is a last resort and cannot be mobilized. The Tartars committed the border, but it is the disease of scabies, and the poisonous provinces of the Liukou are the henchmen of the Ming Dynasty, once the two of Hong Sun are transferred, the thieves can not cut the grass and eradicate the roots, who else can clean up the mess in the world if he rekindles day by day? Therefore, Zhu Youzhen did not agree to transfer the two to Beijing until now.

But now that the elite of the north has been lost, there is no other way than to transfer Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting into Beijing.

Suddenly, the voice of the dragon came, and Zhu Youzhen was surprised.

"Where did you set off the firecrackers?"

Yang Sichang's face changed drastically, he could hear it, this was definitely not a firecracker, but a cannon!

"Long live, Yichen heard, it's not a firecracker, it's a cannon, a Hongyi cannon!"

"There are Hongyi cannons to defend the city, and the Beijing division is worry-free."

Zhu Youzhen's tone was relaxed. Yang Sichang knew that although there was an iron cannon in the Beijing camp, it was not a Hongyi cannon, and the old men in the Beijing camp would not use this kind of firearm, and the only one who could use it skillfully was the Ning army.

"Long live, Jingying is not good at firearms, eighty percent of this Hongyi cannon is eighty percent of the Tartar ......"

"What?"

"Hooray, hooray, the Tartars have bombarded the city with Hongyi cannons......"

The little eunuch hurried to report the news.

Zhu Youzhen was shocked, and was silent for a long time before saying: "Transfer the Shaanxi army to the north!" ”

Yang Sichang received the order, and Zhu Youzhen leaned weakly on the back of the chair, waving his hand tiredly, signaling that he could go down......
