Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 239
"Master Commander! The gates of Qiantun City were opened by spies from inside and outside. Lord Yan and Lord Chen, they...they died with the city!" Liang Kewang fell to his knees with a plop when he saw Liu Hongjian enter the yamen.

"What did you say? Say it again?" Liu Hongjian's head buzzed, and he suddenly felt dizzy.

"Qiantuncheng fell, Master Yan and Lord Chen died in battle!" Liang Kewang repeated loudly with tears in his eyes.

When he was about to leave the city, the battle song in Qiantun City touched the young Liang Kewang, and Master Yan went to his death, which made him even more ashamed.

He felt that he was working hard, but compared with the soldiers at the border, how lucky he was.

"This is impossible! Lao Yan is an expert city defender, Lao Yan... this is impossible! How dare you lie to me, you bastard!"

Liu Hongjian kicked Liang Kewang on the shoulder, and kicked Liang Kewang, whose face was full of tears, to sit on the ground.

"My lord, this time the Jianlu invaded on a large scale. The former Tuncheng is isolated outside the pass. Anything can happen. Please mourn!" Liang Yang, the commander of Jin Yiwei, persuaded Liu Hongjian and signaled Liang Kewang to retreat.

"Master Commander, when the city was broken, I once wanted to take Lord Yan out of the city, but Lord Yan refused.

He handed over a letter to the humble staff, asking you to help pass it on to the Holy Majesty, and he also said that he will repay your kindness in the next life! "

Liang Kewang also shed tears along the way. He carefully pulled out a letter from the interlayer of his collar and handed it to Liu Hongjian.

Liu Hongjian took over the neatly folded rice paper from Liang Kewang, and was about to open it.

"My lord, this letter is addressed to Your Majesty!" Liang Yang lowered his head and said, even though he knew that the Commander often did transgressive things, but as a subordinate official, he should say the necessary reminder.

Liu Hongjian acted as if he had never heard of it, and opened the rice paper on his own, and the blood book written in blood came into view.

"The guilty minister Yan Yingyuan risked his life to hear:

On the [-]th day of the second month, the unrighteous soldiers invaded the territory of our Ming dynasty, and my ministers took the post of a general in Shanhaiguan to guard the front of the city outside the pass. It has been more than one month now.

The minister expects that Jianlu will arrive at Qiantun on February 21. Because the minister begs for the suffering of the people, he wants to move the Han people outside the pass into the pass.

Unexpectedly, Jianlu sent out strange soldiers to block my retreat, so that Qiantun was trapped by Jianlu. This minister should be guilty of Yuan.

The minister dared not slack off, and defended the small city with six thousand soldiers, trying to stop the army of building captives, and to gain time for Governor Huang to deploy defenses, it took more than three days.

However, the shallow walls of the Qiantun Pool were thin, and the bandit army was fierce and powerful. They attacked with dozens of Frang machine guns in turn, causing the Qiantun City to be destroyed.

The servants disregarded the support of the people and the entrustment of His Majesty, and the loss of Qiantun was the fault of the Yuan Dynasty, and had nothing to do with the soldiers and people in the city.

The guilty minister must use this mutilated body to repay His Majesty's grace and thank him for his crimes!
The sinful minister Yan Yingyuan wears a hundred obeisances"

The bloody words pierced Liu Hongjian's eyes like knives.

"Old Yan! You have such a stubborn temper..." Liu Hongjian closed the letter and wiped the tears from his eyes, and muttered.

What kind of person Yan Yingyuan is, Liu Hongjian couldn't be more clear, he is not pedantic, but if he believes in something, even if Liu Hongjian often uses "power" to oppress him, Yan Yingyuan will mostly just smile and pretend to submit, but It is indeed the stubbornness of a literati.

In addition, in the past year, the thousand households in Wansui Mountain have grown from scratch, and there are shadows of Yan Yingyuan and the other three inside and out. Liu Hongjian never thought that his brother would leave in such a hasty manner.

Originally, I thought that the three of them went to the border because they wanted to do their best to serve the country. The border is cold and bitter, and when the three of them get rid of their rough edges, they will definitely come back to help him.

But...why do you want to go to Shouqiantun, that is an isolated city outside the Guan, this old Yan, brother... Liu Hongjian closed his eyes and let the tears slide down his cheeks.

The busy scene of Yan Yingyuan and Chen Mingyu in the past year appeared in his mind, and suddenly he thought of something that he had ignored just now.

"If I heard correctly just now, Qiantun City was opened from the inside. Who is it? Which shameless thing is it?"

Liu Hongjian's eyes suddenly opened, staring straight at Liang Kewang in front of him.

"I heard from an official of a thousand households guarding the city that the person who opened the door to offer the city was Hu Zihao, the nephew of Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen." Liang Kewang replied truthfully.

"It's Zhu Chunchen again!" Liu Hongjian muttered through gritted teeth, remembering the fat old man.

Yan Yingyuan did not mention this matter in his letter to Chongzhen. Presumably, he felt that his official position was low and he could not shake a prince, even if he had been expelled from the rank.

He was worried that this was true, not to mention whether Chongzhen would believe his one-sided words, but this move might cause trouble behind the soldiers who died in the battle.

"Everyone in Daming is afraid of this old bastard, but I am not!
Lao Liang, hurry up and gather people, I'm going to Nacheng Duke's Mansion to arrest this old bastard! "Liu Hongjian folded the letter and stuffed it into his bosom.

"My lord..." Liang Yang wanted to persuade Liu Hongjian to think twice.

"Enough, I know what I'm doing, hurry up and do it!" Liu Hongjian was in a terrible mood.

The Duke of Cheng's Mansion is just a few streets away from the Jinyiwei Yamen. Although he has been expelled from his title, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse.

Even though the plaque has been changed from Duke Cheng's Mansion to Zhu Mansion, the servants and ostentation in the mansion are still the same.

In the eyes of outsiders, Zhu Chunchen, the former Duke of Cheng, is completely idle now, but only Zhu Chunchen knows that he is actually busier than before.

He just came back from the outside, and since Li Yunkui, the chief inspector, joined the Supervisor of Rituals, he has obtained more comprehensive and timely news from the palace.

The funny thing is that Li Yunkui still thinks that he is a humble person who dare not forget to worry about the country, and thinks that he is still grateful for the grace of God, so he cares so much about national affairs.

Zhu Chunchen just sneered in his heart. He heard Qi Zanyuan, the captain-in-law, say that Fan Wencheng, the Minister of State and Affairs of the Qing Dynasty, praised his contributions, and even His Royal Highness the Regent of the Qing Dynasty mentioned him, which really flattered him.

People without long-term considerations must have near-term worries. Li Yunkui is so meaningful. When the Qing cavalry takes control of the Central Plains, he even intends to intercede for Lao Li, which can be regarded as repaying his favor.

While he was thinking, there was a sudden noise outside the courtyard.

"Who is making noise outside?" Zhu Chunchen scolded as he went out with a big belly.

"Jin Yiwei was ordered to handle the case, where is Zhu Chunchen?" The person in charge of the team was Pei Xinwen, the envoy of Jin Yiwei North Town Fusi.

Cheng Guogong's lineage lived with Daming for more than [-] years, and there were hundreds of domestic slaves in the family. In order to prevent accidents, Liang Yang directly appointed Pei Xinwen, the eunuch in charge of the prison.

"Presumptuous! Who gave you Jin Yiwei the courage to act wildly in the Duke's mansion!" Although Zhu Chunchen is already a first-class grassroots, but he has been a Duke all his life, and he still has a lot of airs and momentum.

"I can't explain what crime I have committed. In broad daylight, I want to see, who dares to do it? Who dares?" Zhu Chunchen rolled up his sleeves, looking righteous.

The guards in Jinyi didn't dare to move rashly, they turned to look at the expression on the face of Lord Zhen Fushi.

But before the appeasement envoy Pei Xinwen could speak, a cold voice suddenly came from behind.

"I dare!"
