Iron blood Suiming

Li Zicheng's spirit is strong, although he is still awake, but those rogues are all frightened, could it be said that the emperor is really the son of heaven?Between Sumeru, nearly twenty generals broke their limbs like gods and men?

Li Jianguo suddenly fluttered his sleeves, turned his hands away, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and shot at nearly [-] bandits in front of him, he said coldly: "I am the Son of Heaven, endowed with divine power, you dare to offend the Son of Heaven, you will die tragically if you live Then you will go to the eighteenth floor of hell, and why don’t you lie down on the ground?" His words were flat, but the last sentence turned into a harsh one, but all the fifty thousand bandits could hear them clearly, and the heavy shouting of the last sentence made many people cry. The rogue was so frightened that he really dropped the weapon he just got and lay down on the ground.

When one person gets down, ten thousand people will also get down. Although there are many treacherous and vicious people among the rogues, they dare not do anything wrong when they meet such a mysterious emperor of ten thousand chariots. Zun has such supernatural powers, even though they can eat human flesh and drink human blood, they don't want to go to hell.

No one could have imagined that Li Jianguo's prestige would make fifty thousand bandits fall to the ground and be arrested.The Han army didn't wait for Li Kaiguo's order, and immediately rushed forward with flintlock guns. 27 Han troops tied up [-] bandits. Isn't that easy to capture?Li Zicheng rolled on the ground in pain, but his mouth has not stopped since his limbs were broken, and he shouted from time to time: "He is a false emperor, he is a false emperor, get up and kill him, hurry... you want Help me to be the emperor, haha, I am the emperor..." After shouting, Li Zicheng's voice was hoarse, and although no one paid attention to him, he still yelled completely.

Li Jianguo didn't pay attention to him at all, and the old Huihui waited profusely in pain, but no one paid attention to them. The Han army didn't even look at them, they just dragged out a large pot and set up a fire to boil water.

This made Lao Huihui and so on scared out of their wits.Everyone knows that this is the cauldron for boiling human flesh in their army. At this time, Li Jianguo's Han army boiled these pots one by one in front of them. It is conceivable what they want to do.

Old Hui Hui waited and shouted: "Your Majesty, forgive us, we are all blind and offended you, you kill us, don't boil us." They cried bitterly.They begged bitterly, because they couldn't get up, and even hit their heads hard on the ground, bleeding from the bumps instead of kowtow.So that Li Jianguo would not cook them.

But these Li Jianguo didn't seem to see or hear, just raised his head slightly.Looking at the long white clouds in the sky.Heart as hard as iron, unwavering.

The water finally boiled, Laohui and their begging for mercy never stopped, hearing the sound of the water boiling, Laohui and the others were so frightened that their hearts almost stopped beating, and they begged desperately.

Li Jianguo finally bowed his head.He said with a blank face: "What is the difference between your cries now and those people who were cooked and eaten by you? Before they died, they must have begged and begged you. But you beasts, have you ever Let one person go? If you dare to cook and eat my people, I will cook you and let your men share the food, so that your souls will never be reborn." As he spoke, he suddenly shouted: "Let's fork the pot one by one. , cooked it for the bandits to share.”

Old Hui said that they were heartbroken, and when it came to this point, they had no reason to survive, but they still kept begging, Li Yan shouted at this moment: "Your Majesty, my wife Hong Niangzi, she has never eaten Human flesh, I ask the emperor to read that she is a woman and has never harmed the people, please let the emperor let her go."

Old Huihui was picked up by two Han soldiers with a fork, held it high, and was about to throw it into the pot, when he heard Li Yan's words, he yelled: "Fart, you bastard Li Yan, if Hong Niangzi didn't eat it I would rather go to the ground than human flesh... ah..." Lao Hui was thrown into the pot before he could finish his reply, and the boiling water immediately cooked his outer layer of meat. There was no sound.

A large number of Han soldiers watched blankly, unmoved.They watched Lao Huihui, Luo Rucai, Ge Liyan, Zuojin King, Changed King,... Hong Niangzi... Song Xiance being scalded to death one by one, and Li Jianguo's angry shout rang in their ears. , "This is the fate of cannibals. You must firmly remember that as a human being, you cannot eat human beings. If you eat human beings, you are no longer human and worse than animals. Li Zicheng, you don't have to pretend to be crazy anymore. I deliberately left you in the last place, just to let you watch how your gangsters share the flesh of you brothers and generals."

As he spoke, he waved his hand abruptly, and immediately a Han army picked out the half-cooked old Hui Hui and others out of the pot, and threw them into the group of rogues who were tightly bound.The rogues were not polite, they had heard Li Jianguo say that these were for them to eat.For so many days, although some people have eaten dried meat, they are still half-starved. At this time, half-cooked human flesh is placed in front of them, and there is still patience. Although they cannot move their hands, they can still move their feet and tear their mouths. To bite, they stepped forward on their knees, opened their mouths and bit, tearing off pieces of meat, and devoured them hungrily.

Less than a dozen half-cooked human flesh was quickly eaten up by the rogues, even the bits of meat on the bones were gnawed clean.It's just that the appearance of the rogues who ate human flesh no longer resembled a human being, with a fierce light in their eyes and a trance in their actions, as if they had suddenly turned into mindless walking corpses.Many of the Han soldiers who watched this journey of beasts vomited quietly. They never thought that people could be so vile and eat their own kind. At this time, Li Jianguo's voice came from their ears: "Li Zicheng, you It will soon become the food of the rogues and turn into excrement. At this moment, do you regret what you have done?"

Li Zicheng, who had always been pretending to be crazy, suddenly laughed loudly, his eyes turned clear, and shouted: "Li Kaiguo, since ancient times, kings and conquerors have been defeated, and today you are the emperor. You can say whatever you want. I, Li Zicheng Raising troops against the Ming Dynasty, fighting across the world, disregarding life and death a long time ago, you want me to regret it, why? Because you are also the stolen emperor?"

Li Jianguo smiled coldly. He wanted to see if Li Zicheng could be so hard-headed after he got into the boiling water pot.Only then did Li Zicheng feel that the steam rising from the boiling water was so hot, and the bold words just now turned into cowardice. He is not a hero, but a bear, otherwise he would not surrender and rebel. Even such things as eating the flesh of innocent people can be done.

Li Zicheng screamed: "Don't leave me. Your Majesty, I'm not a human, I'm an animal. If you let me go, I'll be your dog. Don't kill me, don't kill me...ah..." But at this time Regretting that it was too late to beg for mercy, the Han army pushed Li Zicheng into the boiling water pot at once. Li Zicheng only felt severe pain all over his body, and he just rolled twice.The pain had already invaded his mind, and he could smell the smell of cooked meat. Suddenly, the last thought flashed through his mind, so my meat also smells like this when cooked, which makes people want to vomit...

Li Jianguo watched Li Zicheng being cooked.After being divided and eaten by the rogues again, he turned around blankly.Step onto the tall imperial chariot.He yelled at the 27 Han troops: "This is the fate of killing the people under my command. You must firmly remember that the people provide for you and support you. They are your biological parents. They kill their fathers and mothers and eat them. Heaven and earth will not tolerate it. I won’t tolerate it even more. Someone, dig a hole for these 5 people and bury them. I don’t want these animals that have eaten human flesh.”

With his order, the fate of 5 rogues was decided. The Han army was deeply shocked when they saw that Li Jianguo was using his own methods to repay others, and he hated these rogues who had eaten human flesh. , Really didn't treat these people as the same kind, dug a big pit on the spot that could bury 5 people, buried [-] people alive in the pit, and killed them.

Not only that, but Li Jianguo also spread the will of today's events throughout the world, narrating in detail the process of punishing Li Zicheng and other man-eating demons today, and warned the world that everyone must act in accordance with the principles of heaven and morality, and must not act against human ethics, otherwise today's evil will be destroyed. The fate of Li Zicheng and others is their example.

This decree quickly spread throughout the world. Emperor Hongguang also saw this decree copied in the Nanjing Palace. This big fat man who should have been boiled by Li Zicheng in the court listened to the eunuch's recitation of this decree in half. , and vomited all over the floor, the court meeting broke up unhappy, and the civil and military ministers of the previous court also vomited half of it, but everyone was afraid of Li Jianguo's ruthlessness, an emperor who could boil Li Zicheng and others, an Can they provoke an emperor who can kill 5 people and tell the world about it?

Those who are more afraid are those state and county officials and gentry and wealthy businessmen. Li Jianguo dared to murder 5 people. What else would he not dare to do?Originally, the gentry in the south looked down on Li Jianguo, but at this moment, it seems that Li Jianguo is much more powerful than the legendary Manchu Tartars and bandits.I didn't see that he almost wiped out the Tartar clan as soon as he made a move, and killed all the rogues.

It's not that there will be no more refugees in the world, but Li Jianguo used a wonderful trick. He gave all the refugees a hope, a hope that as long as they go to Liaodong, they will be able to live again.Refugees are originally common people, and as long as the common people have a way to survive, they will try their best to fight for it and work hard. Rebellion is only done after they can't find a way to survive.

And Li Jianguo allowed all the refugees to reach the distant Liaodong as long as they arrived in Shandong, where they could get land, a house, and a home under the relief all the way.Therefore, there will no longer be people raising their arms and shouting, and thousands of refugees will respond.Such a big problem is solved in this way.

After clearing up the matter of Li Zicheng, Li Kaiguo continued to lead troops to push into Nanjing. When his army passed by, the state and county officials either fled or surrendered in anticipation of the wind, and no city dared to resist.However, Li Jianguo led the Han army not to advance by leaps and bounds, but to clean up the next city, and clean up the gentry and wealthy businessmen who had always done evil deeds in the city.As for the good gentry businessmen who are praised by the people, they will not do anything after checking the facts.

Every time a city is cleared, the people do not move at all. Even if some people come out to resist, they only kill the rebels and never punish them. For the old officials of the Ming Dynasty and the gentry and wealthy merchants, Li Kaiguo acted ruthlessly. , but for the people, he acted with the heart of a parent.

This also led to the people unanimously praising the Han army for being good. Not only did they not commit any crimes against them, but they also helped them vent their anger and gave them good benefits. All states and counties that were captured were exempted from taxes for one year.These are actual reductions and exemptions, not the same as in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor said reductions and exemptions, but the people below didn't know it at all, and they still paid them accordingly. In the end, all the money went into the pockets of corrupt officials.

Li Jianguo slowly approached Nanjing step by step, and finally made those famous generals who wanted to wait for Li Jianguo's army to give him a severe blow when they came, finally impatient.Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Lian Guoshi, Yuan Mo, Tang Hui, Zou Weilian, Ma Shiying, the governors-general, Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, Zuo Liangyu, Xu Dingguo, etc. of the four Jiangbei towns, who have not experienced many battles, held With heavy troops, it is really impossible for them to nest around Nanjing and wait for Li Jianguo to attack.

Although in name they were all under the control of Emperor Hongguang, but for Emperor Hongguang who had no actual military power, he was actually just a display.It is basically used as a flag.Except for Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, all the generals did not take Emperor Hongguang seriously. They could be more respectful except when asking for military pay, and it was optional to be Emperor Hongguang at other times.

Seeing that a month had passed, Li Kaiguo's army had just arrived at Huai'an Mansion. Slow as a snail is not bad at all, so Ma Shiying clamored to bring his troops and horses to stop Li Kaiguo at the bank of Hongze Lake.It's not that he likes to be a pioneer, he likes to be the first bird, but that he has a sigh of relief in his heart.

He originally thought that he had made a contribution.Coupled with the support of the heavy troops of Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing in the four towns of Jiangbei, it is possible to be a chief assistant, but as soon as Emperor Hongguang ascended the throne and issued an imperial edict to King Qin, the soldiers in the world surpassed those in his hands Up to several times, and the qualifications of those governors and governors are all inferior to him.His great dream of being the first assistant was shattered immediately, and in the end he was only a bachelor of Dongtuge University and Minister of the Ministry of War.But who can he, the minister of the Ministry of war, command?No one listened to his command.

Although Li Jianguo's cruelty and brutality frightened many people.But in the eyes of these generals, it is really nothing.Isn't that one with tens of thousands of lives in his hands, and a foot in the pile of bones?Boiling tens of thousands of people is nothing at all.Therefore, Ma Shiying kept holding back and wanted to overwhelm those governors. Coupled with Li Jianguo's slow march, he thought that Li Jianguo was afraid of them, so after a month of patience, he finally decided to jump out and fight for merit.

He thought he only had one speech.All the generals would definitely rob him of merit, but he didn't expect that no one would rob him. Emperor Hongguang saw that Ma Shiying had a well-thought-out plan, and he spoke with certainty.He couldn't help saying happily: "Ma Qing's family is really loyal to the country. Well, I will allow you to play. If Li Ni can be captured, I will make you the first and assistant minister."

Hearing this, Ma Shiying became very anxious, this Emperor Hongguang is too out of character, how can he express his thoughts?Sure enough, with a glance, he saw that the ministers of the civil and military classes were full of sarcasm in their eyes, Ma Shiying blushed rarely, and then simply broke the pot and said: "Thank you for your trust, I will go now." In his words Not refusing, obviously a tacit consent to want to be the chief assistant after meritorious service.

Ma Shiying, who led his troops out of Nanjing city with a high spirit, never imagined that, as soon as he left, seven governors joined forces to play, saying that Ma Shiying would definitely lose if he left.The Han army led by Li Kaiguo was 20. If Ma Shiying was defeated, the Han army would definitely pursue it. If Ma Shiying escaped along Xuyi County, the Han army would surely be surrounded by the natural dangers of Sanhe and Gaoyou Lake in Hongze Lake.

The meaning of the eight governors was to set up an ambush in the south of Sanhe, surround the chasing Han army with natural dangers, and annihilate the invading Han army in one fell swoop.Emperor Hongguang was overjoyed, and in a blink of an eye he forgot about the eight governors plotting against his confidant Ma Shiying.

Emperor Hongguang said: "The Han army has 20 men. If you want to encircle the Han army, how many soldiers and horses will you send?"

Sun Chuanting took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the eight of us now have 50 troops, plus natural dangers, we can encircle and wipe out 20 Han troops."

Emperor Hongguang said happily: "Okay, okay, this plan is great, I will follow Qing and others' plan, but if there are any difficulties, do you want me to solve them?"

The seven governors looked at each other with smiles in their eyes. Who didn't know that Emperor Hongguang was rich in the world, if it wasn't for the money in Emperor Hongguang's hand, the seven governors would have been able to send troops on their own long ago, and they still need to report to Emperor Hongguang?

When Emperor Hongguang heard that he wanted money, his face immediately wrinkled into a ball. What he liked most in his life was money, and he could only get in and out, and he didn't take out a dime.But this is the seven governors speaking together, it is really not easy to refute their face.

Emperor Hongguang reluctantly said: "How much military pay do you need for Aiqing? I want to explain first that the treasury has not received a tael of silver, and all I spend is my own silver. I am very poor, so don't ask for it." too much."

The eyeballs of the seven governors almost protruded from their sockets. As the emperor, it is really unexpected that he can say such a thing. Although he knew that Emperor Hongguang loved money like his life, he did not expect that he would love money to this extent.The dispatch of troops this time is a matter of life and death, if it is not for the great Ming Dynasty, why would the seven governors take such a big risk?Now let him as the emperor do his part for his own country, but he still doesn't want to pay the military salary.

Sun Chuanting bowed and said: "Your Majesty, for the mobilization of 50 troops this time, food and salaries must be provided continuously. This time the transfer requires a total of about 400 million taels of silver. Please also ask the emperor..." Before he finished speaking, Emperor Hongguang said Jumping up, he shouted: "400 million taels? No, no, you might as well kill me."

The seven governors smiled wryly together. Does this Emperor Hongguang have the air of an emperor?If he is not the biological son of Emperor Wanli, but also the most beloved youngest son, it is impossible for him to be the emperor.

Lian Guoshi preluded: "Your Majesty, if you don't have 400 million taels of food, I'm afraid you won't be able to mobilize such a large army. If you can't wipe out the Han army on the Sanhe River, then Nanjing will be in danger." That's right, it's just that Emperor Hongguang heard it as if he was threatening him, and immediately screamed: "Practicing state affairs, are you threatening me?" (To be continued...)
