Chapter 577 Li Zicheng Flooded Kaifeng Mansion, Emperor Chongzhen's Soul Breaks the Forbidden City

rumbling~
Hearing the voices outside, the shopkeeper's expression became even more unnatural. He looked up at the sky, the sun was shining brightly, but for some reason he always felt that there was a haze that could not be dispelled in the sky.

The clerk looked at the shopkeeper incomprehensibly and said, "Shopkeeper, what's the situation, why do we have to climb upstairs?"

At this time, the shopkeeper pointed to the west of Kaifeng Mansion and said, "What's there?"

"West? Kaifeng government office? West city wall? Moat, river? Wait for the Yellow River!"

The guy's eyes widened suddenly, and the shopkeeper nodded stiffly and said, "That's right, it's the Yellow River. When we were studying in the college, the teacher once told us that although Kaifeng Mansion is tall and thick, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. But there is a trick, that is flooding..."

"And the teacher has mentioned more than once that Qin general Wang Jian's son Wang Ben dug water to irrigate the beams. Kaifeng mansion is now tightly guarded, but Li Zicheng still dares to let the refugees attack Kaifeng. I'm sorry for the group of military advisers under him who are known as think tanks."

"Destroy the embankment of the Yellow River and flood the city of Kaifeng. My God, there are millions of people in Kaifeng. If he breaks the embankment of the Yellow River, these hundreds of thousands of people will become homeless immediately. This, this Dade is missing."

It took the guy a long time to hold back such a sentence.

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Lack of great virtue? They are rogues and still care about this. You think they are county officials. They will do whatever they can to win."

The clerk heard the words and said: "Yes, it's better for the county magistrate. If you want me to say that Kaifeng is like this, it's better to let the county magistrate come and take it under Lantian's command. The people here can live a good life for a few days."

The shopkeeper said: "That can't be done. If the county lord really takes Kaifeng under his command, the imperial court, Li Zicheng, and even Zhang Xianzhong, who is doing things in Hubei, will come to find the county lord desperately. After all, they all know that the county lord is a big deal. If it is done, they will have no way out."

The man heard the words and said: "This is what I said."

After saying this, the man looked at the sky, and saw a flock of birds flying from the northwest to Kaifeng in a panic in the distance. The man said: "It must not have started."

The shopkeeper's right eyelid twitched violently at this moment and said: "I feel that disaster is imminent!"

After hearing this, the two of them looked towards the northwest in unison, and the young man asked at this moment, "Are we safe upstairs?"

The shopkeeper said: "It must be safer than flat ground, by the way, go down and bring up all the food, maybe we will be trapped here."

After hearing this, the buddy immediately went down with the shopkeeper and moved all the pancakes, mutton soup, etc. upstairs, and closed the store door, preparing for danger.

At this time, the upper reaches of Kaifeng Mansion, the Yellow River channel, at this time, there were obvious traces of artificial elevation, and the river water in the Yellow River was turbid, rushing down there, the waves were rough, and it was frightening to watch. It was water, but flowing mud.

At this time, on the embankment of the Yellow River, a man riding a tall horse and wearing a lotus-leaf felt hat stood on a high place, overlooking the Kaifeng Mansion not far away, with unprecedented pride on his face.

In the past two years, he was really aggrieved. He was surrounded by the imperial army, and he took out eighteen horsemen and hid in the mountains of Shanxi. Every day he lived like a bird frightened, afraid that the imperial court would come to encircle and suppress him. He lived like a dog. generally.

But today he finally pushed through the dark clouds to see the sun. As long as he digs the Yellow River embankment, the water in the Yellow River that he has been trapped for half a year is enough to submerge the mighty Kaifeng city below. Tens of thousands of disaster victims, when the time comes to climb up and shout, there will be hundreds of thousands of volunteers.

I can take them to fight Luoyang, go down to Shandong, fight directly to the BJ city of the old man Chongzhen, seize the bird position, and become the emperor himself.

This feeling of power reaching its peak made Li Zicheng unable to help himself, it was so cool, this is what a man should do, and this is the career he should pursue.

Li Zicheng thought of this and couldn't help but shouted to the sky: "Ah~"

The people around were stunned, and they all looked at Li Zicheng, thinking that this Chuang Wang Shixing was going to make a famous story through the ages. As for the fact that Chuang Wang was uneducated, it didn't matter. When there is a strong wind, the clouds are flying, and the warriors are guarding the four directions. Is it such a heroic sentence?
In the end, Li Zicheng was still disappointing. After the sound, he didn't want to write a poem.

Instead, he spit out two words: "Excavation!"

As soon as it came out, the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time immediately dug up the Yellow River embankment, followed by the thunderous sound of the Yellow River water, which gushed out directly from the mouth of the embankment, and immediately showed the momentum of thousands of troops and rushed directly to the embankment. Kaifeng mansion not far away, flooded Kaifeng.

rumbling...

Watching the water level of the Yellow River drop at a speed visible to the naked eye, Li Shichao, the commander of the personal guard camp who followed Li Zicheng, sighed, and his sigh was seen by Li Zicheng.

"Shi Chao? Why are you sighing?"

Li Zicheng looked at Li Shichao, Li Shichao looked up at Li Zicheng and said, "King Chuang, if the Yellow River breaches, the people in Henan may suffer, I can't bear it."

Li Shichao was very sincere, and Li Zicheng also knew that his brother's heart was not hard enough. Li Zicheng didn't find it strange that he expressed such emotion at this time. On the contrary, if Li Shichao didn't respond at all, Li Zicheng would be suspicious.

Hearing this, Li Zicheng looked at Li Shichao and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. The court is corrupt. Under the rule of the court, these people's lives are worse than pigs and dogs. Why don't we help them? , should also be recorded on the imperial court, it has nothing to do with you and me."

Li Zicheng looked at the sky at this moment and said: "All resistance has a price, and this is the price."

Li Shichao nodded at this moment and said, "I understand King Chuang."

Li Shichao said that he understood, but he was complaining crazily in his heart. He understood a hammer, why did you, Li Zicheng, want to rebel and the price must be paid by innocent people? It has to be said that it is too dark-hearted to attack them even harder.

Of course, in this era of cannibalism, you can't do anything if you don't care about it, you can't do anything.

The Yellow River flooded Kaifeng City crazily. The huge Kaifeng City was surrounded by floods in an instant, and the defenders of Kaifeng Mansion standing on the city wall were paralyzed when they saw the Yellow River rushing down. Shout: "The Yellow River has burst its embankment!"

Immediately afterwards was the sound of the water of the Yellow River impacting Kaifeng City with stones and sand. At this moment, no one wanted to block the gap, not to mention whether they could get out of Kaifeng City. In the flood season, the water flow is turbulent, and once the embankment breaks, there is no way to block it.

The Yellow River surged down and engulfed the entire city of Kaifeng. When watching the flood, everyone's eyes widened. Countless people were swallowed by the flood, which was horrible.

The shopkeeper looked at the flood that suddenly poured into the city, and was terrified. Fortunately, the building he was in was near Kaibao Temple, which was originally the highest point in Kaifeng City. This flood is destined to be a human tragedy.

Those who witnessed this tragedy were all terrified.

And this great flood was also recorded.

In the afternoon of Xinchou Day in the 13th year of Chongzhen, the trespasser Li Zicheng dug the levee of the Kaifeng government section of the Yellow River. He Bo was furious, and the sound of the water was heard from afar. It was destroyed by the flood in an instant, and the flood flooded back, and the pavilions in the block turned into a flood country, leaving only a few pavilions on a high ground around Kaibao Temple. Looking up, they are all house ridges, and there are no roof ridges in the distance.

More than [-] soldiers and civilians in the city were buried in the belly of the fish, and less than one-fifth of the survivors survived. So far, Kaifeng City has disappeared from the map for eight years. After the new dynasty was established, His Majesty Li Chaosheng decreed to rebuild Kaifeng Mansion and reproduce the ancient capital The Old Appearance——"Kaifeng Fuzhi"

Li Zicheng flooded the Kaifeng mansion, and took down an important town of the Ming Empire without bloodshed. He became famous for a while, and after the Kaifeng mansion was flooded, Li Zicheng and other giants climbed up, and those people who had no way out immediately took refuge in King Chuang Under his command, this caused the half-dead Li Zicheng to swell rapidly.

Immediately after, all the thieves around who wanted to join Li Zicheng also joined Li Zicheng's command, and soon Li Zicheng collected hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, and suddenly jumped to the center of the historical stage again, becoming the most beautiful in this period of Ming Dynasty Aberdeen.

Li Zicheng broke through Kaifeng and opened up the situation for the rebel army in the Central Plains. The Ming Dynasty was extremely passive at once. Chongzhen almost fainted when he heard the bad news.

As soon as he woke up, Chongzhen shouted: "Quickly invite the Tathagata Buddha..."

???

No, I took the wrong script, Chongzhen shouted as soon as he woke up: "Quickly invite all the princes of the court to enter the palace to discuss this matter."

So that night, a group of ministers rushed to the Shangshufang. Among them were Chen Xinjia, Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Wang Qiaonian, the governor of the three sides who had just returned to Beijing to report on his duties, and Cao Huachun, the eunuch.

At this time, the entire Shang study room was brightly lit, and everyone's faces showed an unprecedented solemnity.

Chongzhen was sitting on the dragon chair with a pale complexion, and a big blister was visible to the naked eye at the corner of his mouth. Read it."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chengen accepted the memorial and said, "No."

After finishing speaking, Wang Chengen opened the memorial: "At noon on Xin Chou, the thieves dug up the Yellow River embankment and flooded Kaifeng City. The political envoy, the governor of Henan, the governor of Henan and other officials lost contact with each other, and their life and death were unknown. Yu Wan then invaded and led troops to attack the surrounding prefectures and counties, but the prefectures and counties were empty and all were breached, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties."

"The intruders have become very popular, and the surrounding thieves have come to vote. In a few days, the team has grown to more than [-]. There is no enemy in Henan. At present, the intruders are gathering troops and preparing to attack Luoyang. If Luoyang is lost, Henan will be destroyed. The entire territory has fallen, and the Ming Dynasty is in danger..."

When Wang Chengen read this, he saw that both Chongzhen and the princes below became extremely ugly, and Chongzhen was even more distraught, as if his soul had been broken.

It took a long time for Chongzhen to come back to his senses, looking at the eloquent and eloquent princes, at this moment he didn't say a word, and said angrily: "Isn't Zhu Gong very eloquent, what should I do today?"

As soon as Chongzhen's words came out, the princes looked at each other in blank dismay, followed by Qiqi's silence, without saying a word.

At this time, Chongzhen glanced down, looked at Chen Xinjia and said, "Chen Xinjia, you are the Minister of the Ministry of War, what should you do about this matter?"

Seeing Chongzhen questioning himself, Chen Xinjia said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although the intruder is powerful, his subordinates are all rogues and their fighting power is not strong. We just need to mobilize troops in time to suppress the rebellion. It doesn't hurt. We can defeat him once in the past. This time we can defeat him for the second time, Your Majesty need not worry."

Upon hearing this, Chongzhen looked at Chen Xinjia and said, "Oh, so you have already made up your mind? Then who should be sent to suppress the rebellion?"

Chen Xinjia's expression changed when he heard the words, and he fell silent. Several ministers around him looked at each other when they saw this, and the corners of their mouths were slightly raised.

Is Li Zicheng so easy to suppress the rebellion?Do you know who was used to pacify these thieves like Li Zicheng? At that time, it was the result of the joint efforts of Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, and Sun Chuanting.

Now that Lu Xiangsheng has been beheaded and Hong Chengchou is on the border in Liaodong, he can't move easily, and Sun Chuanting has taken over the post of Xuanda Governor, which is also a heavy burden.

Looking at the land of the Central Plains, Liu Zeqing is guarding Luoyang, but everyone knows Liu Zeqing's combat effectiveness. He is okay against ordinary bandits and bandits, but he is not enough to deal with Li Zicheng, who has an army of 40.

He Renlong played hide-and-seek with Zhang Xianzhong in Hubei, and Yang Sichang played hide-and-seek with Zhang Xianzhong there. Zuo Liangyu looked like he was always on guard against Lantian outside Tongguan.

So Daming seems to have a vast land, rich resources and a large population, but for a while you couldn't find a qualified candidate to deal with Li Zicheng.

All the ministers kept silent at this time, the more they talked at this time, the more mistakes they made, and they would die miserably in the future. Chen Xinjia was also riding a tiger at this time.

However, Chen Xinjia still has a bit of real talent and learning, knowing that he can't fool the past at this time, so he said: "Your Majesty, Li Zicheng's army is strong at the peak, with 40 soldiers. Although his equipment is far inferior to ours, he still has more than ten years. We should not take it lightly. When they were put down, it was Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, and Sun Chuanting who worked together to destroy them. This time, I thought that one or two governors or general soldiers could not defeat the intruders, so I think His Majesty should send a few more people together to jointly suppress the bandits! As for who to choose, I think it should be decided by everyone, not just one person."
