At the end of the Ming Dynasty, I freely traveled through Yangshen

Chapter 157 Li Zicheng: This city is so empty
The shouts of death continued below, and Li Zicheng had already moved to Yongding Gate. He could see the Ming Dynasty people fighting desperately to resist the Dashun Army, and the Dashun Army's desperate heroes.

Especially at the Zhengyang Gate, at first glance, there are corpses from both sides. However, these loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty still defended the emperor to the death, which is really respectable.

"These lonely loyalties of the Ming Dynasty are the last dignity of the Ming Dynasty. If the civil servants and generals Er Dashun met were all so loyal, then how could Er Dashun be where he is today!"

Seeing how loyal these people were, Li Zicheng, a peasant insurgent, felt a little touched. He couldn't help but remember that there seemed to be such a thing as persuading people to surrender, and he immediately said, "Send someone to persuade them to surrender!"

"If Emperor Chongzhen surrenders, he will be made Prince Anle."

……

"Don't kill me. I am Du Xun, who oversees the Xuan Mansion. I was ordered to persuade you to surrender!"

During the siege, Du Xun, dressed as an eunuch, shouted at the Zhengyang Gate, "King Chuang knows you are loyal and can't bear to have you die like this. He specially called me to persuade you to surrender. Your Majesty, Emperor Chongzhen, can you still be the emperor after surrender?" Prince of Dashun! Others, King Chuang, will not kill you, so please surrender!"

When Du Xun shouted these words, others were hiding behind the corpse, fearing that someone would fire a black gun and kill him. He had no choice but to come now. The people who broke into the king were holding the line from behind. If he retreated, he would die!

But whatever the situation is now, Du Xun may not be able to trust others. There are many things where he deceives people and then kills them on the battlefield.

"Come up!"

Just when Du Xun was at a loss, a hanging basket was put down on the Zhengyang Gate. As expected, the attacks of the surrounding Ming troops stopped. Under the secret signal of Li Zicheng's Dashun soldiers, Du Xun had no choice but to bravely walk to the front, in full view of everyone. Next, he sat on the hanging basket.

Fortunately, people like Daming were really tired from the beating, or maybe they all woke up. They all looked at the dead bodies in front of them with fearful expressions. They didn't expect that they could fight to this level, and they all became brave and unafraid of death. They are warriors, but weren't they all ordinary soldiers of the Ming Dynasty before? Why is Prince Zhu so evil?

Of course, Prince Zhu did not expose the existence of the Immortal World to them. These people were all imprisoned in the imperial prison and were released today. Before being released, Zhu Cixi specially used the thunderous sound of the relics to shake the sky, and then let them They all became unafraid of death.

"Eunuch Du, you are finally here!"

After Du Xun was lifted up, Luo Yangxing was looking at Du Xun with a smile. At this moment, Luo Yangxing's face was blackened and only his white teeth were exposed. He looked somewhat like a ghost from hell. This frightened Du Xun. A jump.

Next to them are Luo Xiushen and Gao Yushun, who look like you have finally come to persuade them to surrender.

"You are Lord Luo Yangxing, and Lords Luo Xiushen and Gao Yushun!"

Pointing at Luo Yangxing, Du Xun took a long time to recognize him. Somehow, his knees softened and he knelt down in front of these people. "Sir, please accept Du's respect. Your loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth. It will definitely leave a mark in history!”

Today's battle at Zhengyang Gate will definitely leave a mark in history. These people fought tooth and nail to defend the city, and finally surrendered only after King Chuang persuaded them to surrender. This is incredible. It was the last battle of the Ming Dynasty. Backbone!
His status in history must be comparable to that of Yashan!

"Eunuch Du, what are you doing?"

Luo Yangxing and others felt their faces getting hot when Du Xun worshiped them like this. They knew that this person was worshiping them and others for their loyalty, just like a folk gang worshiping Guan Gong, but in fact they were not. What loyalty.

Zhu Cixiang was also so bad that he formed a camp of criminal officials, dignitaries, ministers who secretly collaborated with Li Zicheng, and their servants who had committed murders in the capital, and then used the shocking relics to activate their hearts. With murderous intent, he blocked several waves of Li Zicheng's siege attacks and killed one or two thousand people.

As for the upper echelons of the criminal camp, they had Prince Zhu's certificate of loyalty, so they were just waiting for Li Zicheng's men to come up and surrender.

"You are all loyal and loyal people. I really admire you."

Du Xun looked at these people carefully and suddenly asked, "Guys, is the emperor at Zhengyang Gate?"

"No."

Luo Yangxing shook his head honestly, "On the wall there are only me, Commander Luo, Eunuch Gao, Guangtong City, and all the heroes of the Ming Dynasty."

"What, the emperor is not here?"

At the gate of Zhengyang City, Xiang Yu, the prince's official with a charred face, exclaimed and turned pale with shock.

He finally survived and thought he was fighting to protect the emperor. But now, the emperor actually ran away first.

"The Holy One is not here, so what are we fighting for?"

"Damn, the killing was crazy, the killing was red-eyed, the emperor even ran away and didn't even know it!"

"Crazy, all crazy!" The guilty officials on the city wall were in an uproar, and then they realized that they and others were being played by Prince Zhu.

You are so unkind, you thought you and others were protecting the emperor and atone for your sins, but you killed them for a long time before you realized that the real emperor had run away long ago, and the one who is left here now is a Xibei idiot!

Everyone gritted their teeth and looked at Luo Yangxing fiercely, and next to Luo Yangxing was Du Xun. His eyes fell on Du Xun. He thought these people wanted to do something to him, and his neck tightened. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel these things. The ferocity and loyalty of men trembled.

"Gentlemen, don't panic. Your loyalty has gone down in history. I'm sure those who want to challenge the king will not treat you badly."

While everyone was in an uproar, a man in yellow robe came down from the fourth floor of the Zhengyangmen Archery Tower, "Eunuch Du, don't you think so?"

"Guang Shiheng, you pretended to be the Holy One!"

Du Xun was shocked. These people were too loyal. In order to cover the real emperor's escape, he pretended to be Emperor Chongzhen and stood guard at Zhengyang Gate to attract Li Zicheng's attention. They fought to the end and killed thousands of Dashun soldiers. People almost trade their lives for lives.

"Your loyalty moved King Chuang. Our family came here just to persuade you to surrender. You are truly loyal, comparable to Yashan in the Song Dynasty!"

As soon as Du Xun finished speaking, these people sighed, put their hands on their chests at the same time, took out a "Certificate of Loyalty" and handed it to Du Xun.

"Eunuch Du, give this thing to King Chuang!"

"Is this a lowering of the scale?"

Du Xun was confused. Aren't these people loyal and righteous? Why did they submit their petitions now? Doesn't this damage their image?

"No, we are all loyal people, how could we lower our status!"

Luo Yangxing's expression was solemn and solemn, "Aren't the few of us who stayed here to do this life-or-death mission determined to die for the Ming Dynasty? We would rather die than surrender!"

"Yes, we are all loyal people, we would rather die than surrender!"

Guang Siheng and Gao Yushun also agreed with righteous faces at this time.

"However, the Prince of Fujun, Renyi, did not want us loyal men to die in vain after fulfilling our loyalty, so he gave us an order. As long as we can delay the Chuangjun for more than one day, we will surrender to the Chuangjun to preserve Zhengyangmen. The lives of all loyal and righteous people."

"Ah, this?"

Du Xun was stunned for a moment, how could a loyal man still be treated like this?Can you still surrender after being loyal?If Emperor Chongzhen had done this, would he still have to surrender?

Alas, why didn't the Prince of Fujun seize power earlier? Du Xun couldn't help but complain about Zhu Cihong. If Zhu Cihong had seized power a few years earlier, he wouldn't have had to risk such a dangerous situation and go to the city to surrender.

……

Several city gates in Beijing were blocked when Prince Zhu evacuated Beijing. It was difficult for the people in Dashun to clear them out. It took several hours for Li Zicheng to enter Beijing.

"Eat his mother, drink his mother, greet King Chuang when he comes, but don't pay for food when King Chuang comes!"

On both sides of the street, people who had long been dissatisfied with Prince Zhu spontaneously took to the street and sang songs to welcome King Chuang, but these people were somewhat overwhelmed. Originally, there were at least a million people in Beijing, but looking at it now , There are many people in Xilala, and there are not as many soldiers as Chuangwang.

Li Zicheng frowned at this, "No, that's not right. Have you sent someone to search? Why are there so few people in Beijing?"

"What about a million people, and hundreds of civil and military officials? They have all been withdrawn? How is it possible, what about people? What about money? Tens of millions of food and salaries? Damn it!"

Pointing forward, Li Zicheng's voice became louder.

"You all, show me!"

Li Zicheng pointed to the sparse crowds on the streets of the huge Beijing city, gestured a few more times, and exclaimed, "This city is so empty!"
