I have a cornucopia

Chapter 118 Still a bandit
When Yang Feng walked out of the left gate of Chang'an, there was already panic in the capital...

Of course, this is inevitable.

Li Zicheng's subordinates are not moral models.

In fact, because he was progressing too fast, his subordinates had already become a hodgepodge. Rebellious people from all walks of life, bandits who occupied the mountain as kings, officers and soldiers were defeated, and powerful people who turned against each other all followed him towards the capital with the intention of participating in the grand event. Marching into the army and preparing to be ministers of the dragon, it is impossible to expect these people to abide by the moral bottom line. After all, in this era, there is no one who truly does not commit any crime and truly abides by military discipline. What's more, he doesn't even have military discipline. A combined military group like his is basically in charge of its own affairs. His core is his old camp of tens of thousands, and the others belong to the rebels from all walks of life. Centaur.

military discipline?

What leaders recognize is military discipline.

However, it is different from the original history, because the Caotou King he conferred has now become the real Ming Dynasty Duke Chongzhen, so the rebels have restrained themselves a lot.

There is shame.

We are already the princes of the Ming Dynasty, so it would be a bit shameful to openly rob women.

In addition, the military households in the capital also have a certain fighting capacity. After the two rebellions in the capital, each branch has already formed an organization. They can organize their own armed forces to protect their own houses. At least it is impossible for random soldiers to break in and openly burn, kill and loot. If pressed, the military households will fight with them.

"Is it different if you change the army?"

And in this way, there is no need to rely on Yang Feng on the canal line.

Moreover, the Nanjing ministers will welcome him. No matter what he has done before, for the Nanjing ministers, his group is an important force to stop Li Zicheng in the future.

This is inevitable.

They are searching!

Indeed, this time it's true.

At worst, he will be relocated to Huai'an.

And Lao Wu has eight million taels of silver, which is enough for him to be happy in the future.

But Li Zicheng is really not good.

Besides, they have no luck.

In fact, these military households who control each village are also robbing themselves. After all, they know better than outsiders who is the richest family in the village. If they don't rob, will it be robbed by these outsiders? Even because of the robbery, they have to set up a battle array. Fire.

Moreover, those with high prestige in each branch were appointed officials by Li Zicheng because they brought military households to welcome the king. Li Zicheng also knew the situation of his men. He also knew that since he had become the king of Qin in the Ming Dynasty, he had to maintain a minimum status in the capital. face. Therefore, the people who were given official posts by him were also authorized by him to maintain order. In short, it was impossible to say that there was no looting, but there was no large-scale looting of civilians.

He Fu...

In fact, a lot of them are former officers and soldiers.

"This time, the public is really trampled to the bone!"

"They are still just bandits!"

Of course, Gungun also has to make him a warlord. A Pingxi King is indispensable for him, or he will not be my Qing Pingxi King, but the Ming Dynasty Supervisor Prince will make him Pingxi King.

Want the Yi tribe.

The second is to borrow troops to suppress the bandits.

Li Zicheng could not rest assured about someone like him.

But it is different for those nobles, gentry in the capital, and family members of officials in the capital.

Liu Zongmin was being tortured in the prison, and the suspects' homes were searched outside. Anyone who saw suspicious people and things could be taken away. In order to prevent the suspects' family members from escaping and taking away their money, they could even live in their homes directly. .

But he would not surrender to Li Zicheng.

Once it is found out, the nine tribes will be confiscated and executed.

Yang Feng looked back at the imperial city and said somewhat sadly.

Yang Feng said.

Because there is no benefit in surrendering to Li Zicheng, what can Li Zicheng give him? official? He was originally Ping Xibo of the Ming Dynasty and the governor of Jingying. Even if Li Zicheng changed his Ping Xibo to Ping Xigong, he would still have no real benefits. Li Zicheng would not allow a guy like him who could not be loyal to control the strategic location of Jidong. He would definitely send someone to replace him and then transfer his group to other places. That would leave his own foundation and be like Zhang Xiao He was like a rootless duckweed like a tumor, and it was only a matter of time before Li Zicheng wanted to kill him. If he continues to be a minister of the Ming Dynasty, he can gain a name in the history of the Qing Dynasty and get support from Jiangnan. If he surrenders to the Jianqiu, he can become a strong shareholder and get the substantial benefits of breaking the earth and becoming a king. However, if he surrenders to Li Zicheng, he will not only get nothing, but He would have to be killed later.

Yang Feng is not a good bird.

On the inner street of Chaoyang Gate, He Fu looked at a group of soldiers happily passing by with disdain.

This has begun to become clear to the officials and gentry of the Ming Dynasty.

They all had their belongings with them.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Yang Feng.

This is a case of regicide.

As for the streets, there were armed military households staring at them.

It can't be like the raid on Yuandudu's house, where his brother took away all the gold and silver, then hid in his hometown of Teng County and disappeared, leaving only 5,000 taels of real estate and fields auctioned in Dongguan. Therefore, it is very necessary to live in these people's homes. As for what to do after closing the door, of course it is to conduct an in-depth and detailed search, such as finding out all the gold, silver and jewelry buried in the vat...

In fact, he became Liu Zeqing in history.

Indeed, the same goes for changing officers and soldiers.

But there was no interference.

But in this way, he would have to face Li Zicheng's attack, and then pin his hopes on Gungun to save him.

His failure is inevitable, especially since he pinned his hopes on Wu Sangui's surrender. Gui Gui cannot surrender to him. Gui Gui now has two choices. The first is to continue to escort the prince with his Liaodong Group as Ping Xibo of the Ming Dynasty. Go south. Li Zicheng couldn't stop him. He had 300,000 Liao people, and with Wang Yongji, Song Quan and others under his command, he could gather at least 50,000 combat-ready troops.

What he wants is not to give me a legal basis for the Qing Dynasty to enter the Pass. Now that it has been successful, Chongzhen can no longer borrow troops to suppress the bandits. As for other people, even the prince who supervises the country has no right to borrow troops to suppress the bandits. Who can borrow troops to suppress the bandits? Whoever commits the crime is treason, treason, treason, and treason, which are the three top felony crimes of the Ming Dynasty.

Under Liu Zongmin's clamping sticks, more than a thousand Gonggun justices were wailing. It was said that some of them had been clamped to death, so a group of subordinate soldiers not far away were escorting several noble sons to the imperial prison. I clamped my son to death. When to take out the money and when to stop, otherwise you will pinch it one by one.

Poor these guys still dream about welcoming Queen Chuang and they can continue to stay in the temple in the new dynasty.

What a bunch of idiots!

Zhang Jinyan even expressed his merits in front of Li Zicheng, saying that he had to succumb to Wu Sangui. In fact, it was for the sake of King Chuang. After all, after the emperor was intercepted and killed, the Ming Dynasty would definitely be in civil strife. This would make it easier for King Chuang to unify the country. In fact, he had already Observing the sky, I know that King Chuang is the destiny, and my heart already belongs to King Chuang...

"I was born to be an old minister, and I will leave you to Your Majesty!"

Of course, these words were not said by him, but by Hui Shiyang.

Hui Shiyang, one of the five tiger generals of the Donglin Party at that time, who was designated as Tianmengxing by nine thousand years old, had already shouted this to Li Zicheng in Xi'an, and he was also brought to the capital by Li Zicheng, and he is now Li Zicheng's subordinate. of important ministers.

Yang Feng and He Fu walked towards Chaoyang Gate in the chaos of the capital...

"Put her down!"

Yang Feng suddenly pointed at a few soldiers dragging a girl dressed as a man and shouted.

This is the little beauty from last time.

He probably wanted to sneak out dressed as a man, but was spotted by these soldiers, and then he became more interested.

The soldiers looked at him in astonishment, still wearing a visor on his face. Yang Feng smiled and urged his horse over, looking at the girl dressed in men's clothing, a shunjun still had her scratch marks on his face.

"I seem to have reminded you to leave the capital as soon as possible. Why didn't you listen to me?"

he said with a smile.

The latter suddenly woke up...

"You, you are Yang..."

she said in surprise.

"Yang Qing, Jinyi Guards School Captain Yang Qing."

Yang Feng said.

"Cousin, cousin, save me!"

The girl said without hesitation.

Then she struggled to move forward, and a soldier grabbed her hair and pulled her back unhappily, but the next moment a jagged chain wrapped around his neck, and with a sudden pull, his neck was torn open, and the artery Blood spurted out instantly, and the girl was sprayed all over her body. She screamed in fright, but still took the opportunity to break free, quickly jumped on Yang Feng's horse, and hurriedly climbed up.

The horse, which was already carrying a heavy burden, turned back to bite her dissatisfied, but she still climbed on its back.

The soldiers were angrily holding various weapons and shouting in unknown dialects, but the next moment Yang Feng's chain saw whip whipped across their faces, and the additional hook-shaped saws instantly tore open their faces. Face and even scalp.

"Still just a bandit!"

Yang Feng said as disdainfully as He Fu amid their screams.

As he said that, he urged his horse to step on the blood on the ground, and the girl held his waist from behind fearfully.

Shun Jun, who was guarding Chaoyang Gate, just looked on.

They walked out of Chaoyang Gate like this.

But as soon as she arrived in Tongzhou, the girl dismounted, and in Yang Feng's puzzled eyes, she gave him a charming smile, and then got into a shop selling silk. The shopkeeper came out with a surprised look on his face and quickly saluted her. , and a few guys welcomed her in.

Yang Feng was too lazy to care about her anymore and continued to move forward with He Fu.

Tianjin……

Feng Yuanyang, the governor of Tianjin, has gone south.

He was driven away by Bingbei Daoyuan Yuzong, who led Tianjin soldiers to raid Governor Feng before Chongzhen arrived in the capital. He was from Shaanxi, and Li Zicheng still attracted the ministers from Shaanxi, so he did not He drove away Feng Yuanyang without hesitation and successfully became the governor of Tianjin appointed by Li Zicheng.

As for Feng Yuanyang and Lao Wang, they fled south in a hurry.

Therefore, Yang Feng did not stop in Tianjin and continued southward back to Texas.

At this time, ten days had passed since Chongzhen entered Beijing.

Texas.

"Okay, don't cry. The emperor is not dead. He is just sitting in the Qianqing Palace and watching the sky."

Yang Feng looked at Lao Wang in front of him.

Lao Wang could barely get to the ground. He was still struggling to serve the emperor, but no one was sending him there now.

A group of people around were quite embarrassed to face Yang Feng's idiom.

Although this idiom is indeed very appropriate.

His Majesty the Emperor is sitting inside the four high walls watching the sky!
But everyone also knows that Yang Feng has actually tried his best. If he had not been intercepted and killed, His Majesty the Emperor would have arrived in Jining by this time. Similarly, if the Zhending garrison had not surrendered to Li Zicheng, they would not have been blocked in Baoding, and then If the traitor Li Jiantai hadn't betrayed the emperor, they would have been able to escape from Baoding.

Governor Yang has no regrets.

Every step of his plan was reasonable, and he tried his best to escort the emperor south, but he didn't expect that there were so many rebellious officials and traitors. A series of betrayals eventually caused the entire escort plan to fail.

It was all Li Jiantai who harmed the emperor.

In the end, Li Jiantai took on everything.

"The matter has come to this, and there really is no other way. I will return to Nandu now."

Feng Yuanyang sighed and said.

"Mr. Liu Xian, your Majesty is still in the capital."

Qiu Zude said.

Then Lao Wang stopped crying, and everyone turned their attention to Feng Yuanyang.

The latter's expression changed.

"Who do you think my Jiangnan ministers are? We are all His Majesty's ministers. Since Your Majesty is still here, we naturally have no other thoughts."

He said.

"Are you afraid of giving Li Zicheng an excuse to go south?"

Yang Feng said.

Feng Yuanyang...

"Mr. Liuxian, you are right. We are all His Majesty's ministers. Since Your Majesty is still here, no matter where he is, he is still the Son of Heaven. Whoever wants to establish a new king is treason and rebellion. At that time, Li Zicheng wants to rebel, and we will not stop him. I, the ministers in Shandong, only recognize your majesty. If your majesty dies, the prince will succeed you. If something happens to the prince, the prince will still be alive. As long as your majesty's bloodline is still alive, the throne will be yours. It’s His Majesty’s bloodline.”

Song Jicheng said.

He just threatens the ministers in Jiangnan, don't even think about establishing a new king at this time.

If a new king is established, then Li Zicheng should go south under the banner of rebellion, and Shandong will be the first to bear the brunt. Li Zicheng cannot go south without solving Shandong. Either force Shandong to submit to him, or he invades Shandong, no matter in the end Win or lose, Shandong will have to face danger. But if Nanjing does not establish a new king, Li Zicheng will not do anything in a short time. After all, he still has to solve Wu Sangui's problem, and there are still many people in various places who are unwilling to surrender to him. He will not bother to go south. In this way, Shandong can be caught between the north and the south. After all, if Yang Feng joins forces with Li Zicheng in the current situation, Nanjing will definitely be doomed. Now he has the strongest army on the canal line, and he can even march to the Yangtze River at any time. , at this time there was no Liu Zeqing in Huai'an, and Gao Jie was actually still in the Zelu area...

He successfully escaped after the fall of Tongguan, and is currently wandering around Shanshan and Shaanxi by looting with his men. However, as Li Zicheng enters the capital and takes the emperor hostage to order the princes, he will definitely flee southward.

It was impossible for him to surrender to Li Zicheng.

So now it can be said that there is no obstacle between the south of Yangfeng and Nanjing.

Originally he was the only current barrier on the canal line.

It is said that this year he used this to extort a lot from Huaiyang and even Jiangnan.

Feng Yuanyang nodded.

In fact, he also knew that he didn't know what would happen when he arrived in Nanjing. Although the emperor was still there, he was in the hands of the enemy. To continue to recognize this emperor was to accept Li Zicheng's use of the emperor to command the princes. This issue involved too much, especially The Donglin faction headed by Qian Qianyi finally got a chance to turn around, but they still don't know how to deal with it.

In short, the next Ming Dynasty is really the most chaotic.
