Win the Ding 1617

Day and night passed, and Luoyang gradually recovered its calm. The residents in the city began to wait anxiously for the unpredictable fate hanging over their heads that could not be reversed.

Killing, looting, rape, arson, coercion, and many other common practices of the rogues kept flashing back in everyone's minds.

However, these things that have always made people uneasy did not happen, or did not happen to the poor people in the city.

They just saw with a little excitement and timidity when they peeked out through the crack of the door, groups of soldiers who broke into the camp were organized, with missions, and with a purpose, rushing towards the Fuwang Palace and the sub-patrol yamen. , Zhentai yamen, Zhifu yamen, and the deep houses everywhere.

Teams of soldiers kept moving boxes, cages, and various belongings out of these places, loaded them on chariots, horses, mules, and camels, and transported them out of the city. Imprisoned in the temple.

From time to time, a small group of intruders passed by the street in front of the gate. The last one was the little leader, holding the arrow of Chuang Wang Ling, and the frontmost one was often a big man with a loud voice.Beating the gong in his hand, he shouted to An Min, the king of Chuang, to give an order.People waited for the fate's verdict with excitement and trepidation.Characters such as li chiefs and armor chiefs everywhere have already begun to sieve gongs on the streets to ask the people to come to the gate of the city early tomorrow morning to welcome Chuang Wang's army into the city.

During this day and night, teams of cavalrymen continued to transport the property and food seized from the Fuwang Mansion and the homes of officials and gentry to the outside of the city, and reported what they had obtained to the Zhougong Temple. Section of Li Zicheng et al. report.

According to the statistics of Li Shuangxi and Gao Yigong, who are responsible for copying and inspecting property, the two items of food, gold and silver can feed 20 troops for a year!

What's more, Luoyang is known as the millennium imperial capital, in this city.There are countless antiques, calligraphy, paintings, rare books, inscriptions, inscriptions, porcelain and jade wares. In the two rows of warehouses in the Fuwang Palace alone, there are countless silks and satins for imperial use.All kinds of agate, emerald, coral, jade, gold, silver, copper, lacquer antiques and various valuable furnishings.

Although Fu Wang and his son are a pair of fat men, they also have a reputation for drinking and entertaining themselves.But he is not a fool. He also has a lot of elegant collections on weekdays.

Needless to say, Shang Ding and Xia Yi, there are also paintings like Song Huizong's feathered Danqing, thin gold calligraphy, Tang Dynasty's Wu Daozi's paintings, Hui Chong's bullfighting, and Han Gan's horses.Gu Kaizhi's "Nvcheng Picture", Wang Wei's "Jiangshan Picture", calligraphy posts by Wang Youjun of the Jin Dynasty, and Emperor Wanli rewarded King Fu with a set of porcelain used by Chai Shizong in his collection; It is priceless.Among other things, the porcelains that were bestowed by the emperor were taken from the Chenghua Kiln of the present Dynasty, which is relatively close. It is said that the cost of each teacup was 2 taels of silver back then, and every piece can be exchanged now. Thousands of dans of grain are used. In this famine year, grain is the strongest currency.Not to mention those firewood kilns, Tang red and Song green porcelain, Zhou Dinghan statues and so on.There are also countless calligraphy and paintings of celebrities whose value is beyond the imagination of Li Shuangxi and others.

(Emperor Wanli and Concubine Zheng doted on this son, so they had to make financial compensation if they failed to seek succession. According to historical records, Wanli transported half of the palace savings to Luoyang, Henan. This half of the wealth is definitely not as simple as gold and silver of.)

These are only the gold, silver, soft and valuable objects that were confiscated from King Fu's Palace, not including the belongings of the big officials and gentry in various government offices and mansions.

This time in the Battle of Luoyang, Chuangying definitely completed the transformation from silk to tall, rich and handsome in the ranks of the peasant army.

Excited all night, I nervously calculated with my subordinates how much food, cloth, armor, knives, guns, guns, gunpowder, etc. can be exchanged for those non-gold and silver valuables.Li Zicheng barely fell asleep.

At dinner last night, Li Zicheng already knew that Fu Wang and Lu Weiqi were both caught at dawn.King Fu took two or three confidant eunuchs out of the city and hid in Ying'en Temple in the eastern suburbs.Seen by the people nearby, they reported to Zhang Nai.He was caught; while Lu Weiqi was about to escape from the city, he was caught by Yuan Zongdi's soldiers patrolling the top of the city at the top of the north city.

Only Zhu Yousong, the eldest son of King Fu, and the old concubine and the young concubine fled in the chaos after breaking the city, and they are now missing.

It's not easy to search for Prince Fu and his family for a while, but fortunately, King Fu himself has been arrested. This matter is enough to cause an uproar in the country and make Chuangying famous among the heroes.

At breakfast, Liu Zongmin sent one of his little bosses, Pegasus, to report the whereabouts of King Fu's son, but it was a pity that he hid in the temple when the city was broken, and passed by a man named Miao's family outside the city after taking advantage of the chaos. Hai's village got horses and fled along the foot of Mang Mountain in the chaos.

The little boss pleaded guilty to Li Zicheng very annoyed, Zicheng thought for a while, and then said nothing more, after all, it was the first time to attack such a big city, and it was the residence of the pro-vassal, so it was already enough to capture King Fu alive It is a very remarkable thing.

"What else is there?" Li Zicheng asked the little boss while chewing on the rough bread.

"Master Liu, the chief sentinel, please tell King Chuang when he will enter the city, so that the generals and common people can greet him outside the south gate. In addition, this is a letter written by Master Liu to King Chuang." The little boss handed the letter written by Liu Zongmin to Li Zicheng's personal soldiers.

This is strange, Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin have known each other for many years, knowing that although Liu Zongmin knows some characters, he has never seen him write with a pen.

Looking at it, his frown gradually relaxed.

"Go back and tell Jiexuan that I appointed to enter the city through the south gate before Si time."

The small school went to take orders, Li Zicheng ate a few mouthfuls of the rough noodle buns in his hand, finished the porridge hastily, and sent an order to Li You, the leader of the soldiers outside: "Come here! Prepare the horse!"

Li Zixiang, as usual, was wearing a green cloth arrow jacket, a sheepskin cloak, and a half-worn white felt hat with red tassels on it, which is popular among northern farmers.Riding that black barge horse, he came towards Luoyang City under the escort of hundreds of old battalion soldiers.

Before entering the great development of Henan, the situation of entering the camp was not optimistic. They were often surrounded by several groups of officers and soldiers, and they did not have enough food, food, armor and staff.Naturally, you can't pay attention to the ceremonial pomp, you can only make do with it.At a critical moment, Li Zicheng led his own soldiers and generals when he had to attack the city and break the formation.In the sound of shouting and killing, he personally waved the flower horse sword and rushed into the city with his troops; rushed into the enemy's position.Although there were one or two times when he entered the city afterwards, it was relatively casual. After he entered the city, many people in the city did not know about it.

However, today is different.The purpose of fighting Luoyang is to expand the influence, attract heroes from home and abroad, and gain popularity.Naturally, it has to be greatly expanded.

Those who served as his guard to accompany him into the city today, in addition to the original personal soldiers, specially selected [-] cavalry from the Chinese army camp that guarded the old camp of Zhougong Temple, and all of them were equipped with well-fed fat and strong horses. Wearing armor, everyone wears two layers of armor, the inner layer is either cotton armor or leather armor, and the outer layer is the same color Nanzhong breastplate. The breastplate was carefully wiped with an oiled fine cloth. The sun shines brightly.Soldiers except long knives, bows and arrows.There is also a long wax pole spear with a three-foot-long Sangmen spear head, which is sharp and eye-catching.When going back and forth between Shangluo Mountain and Shennongjia Mountain.Most of the battles are on the rugged roads in the mountains, the area is narrow, and they are not allowed to use them. In order to maintain fast maneuverability, most soldiers who broke into the camp gave up long weapons such as spears and used swords and bows as their main weapons. As people often say "Quick horse and light knife".However, since he joined Chen Guoxi, especially after entering Henan.The combat environment of the location has changed, and the geographical situation and military situation have changed.More importantly, the economic situation is different.So now there are a lot of long guns in the camp.Among the newly arrived hungry people, poles and other troops, a large number of spears were used as weapons. Of course, these were just spears, not death guns.Breaking into the camp is not so rich that all spearmen are equipped with death guns.

Walking in the front of the team was a flag officer, holding high the big Chinese flag in his hand, and behind him, a schoolboy was holding a big red umbrella in his hand, as a guard of honor for Li Zicheng to go out.Behind the two of them were two hundred cavalrymen with long spears in their hands, and every five men marched abreast.The barrels and heads of the Sangmen guns in their hands were the same length. The soldiers held the reins in their left hands and held the guns in their right hands. The line of spears is very neat, fluctuating as the horses walk.The sharpened gun head and scarlet gun tassel, as well as the silver gun head leading them forward, the white-maned "Chuang" flag and the red umbrella and silver pagoda are particularly dazzling in the sun.

After the cavalry came Li Zicheng, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Li Yan and other important figures who broke into the camp, and their brigade guards, and behind them were another [-] old cavalry in the same attire.

"If 1000 million gold and silver properties can be entered into the account, go to the surname Chen and replace all the old camp, horse army, Xiaoqi, etc. with such excellent equipment!"

Looking at the momentum of the two hundred elite cavalry walking in front of him, Zicheng couldn't help but feel a little intoxicated. As long as he has silver dollars, he can't buy men's milk and war horses from the Nanzhong merchants headed by Chen Guoxi. As long as there is something in this world, there is nothing that is not filled with mountains and seas.

According to the route into the city arranged by Liu Zongmin, Yuan Zongdi, Li Guo and others for Li Zicheng, Li Shuangxi and Zhang Nai flew to greet him about two or three miles away from the Luoyang city gate, while Liu Zongmin, Yuan Zongdi, Li Zicheng Guo and a large group of generals greeted him immediately outside the South Pass.Surrounded by generals, Li Zicheng passed through Nanguan Pass, and saw that all the shops were open for business. There were incense tables in front of the doors, and a word "Shun" or "Shunmin" written on yellow paper was pasted on the door. Most of the common people kneeling on both sides of the road to greet them also had the word "Shun" stuck on their hats.

From Nanguan to both sides of the Luohe River, people from Luoyang city and hungry people fleeing from the famine greeted them on both sides of the road. Behind the crowd, there were buckets of tea and large pots of rice porridge. It could be seen that Li Yan organized relief for the victims. The campaign has been effectively launched.

"Come! Come!" Cheers erupted from the crowd. From far to near, the crowd knelt down on both sides of the road, shouting various slogans.

"Chuangwang! Chuangwang!"

"Thank you Mr. Li for saving us!"

"Thank you Mr. Li for giving up the porridge!"

The shouts among the crowd made Li Zicheng frown slightly, but then he relaxed them immediately. However, the shouts that shook the sky made Niu Jinxing's brows and eyes beam with joy.

Amidst the cheers, Li Zicheng's team passed the Luo River.Arrive at Luoyang South Gate.Li Zicheng looked up, but saw the towering city walls and majestic towers.After passing through the Changxia Gate, his brigade has entered Luoyang City.

After visiting the biggest loot from conquering Luoyang - Fuwang Palace.Witnessing the carved beams and paintings of pavilions, terraces and pavilions everywhere, the splendor as far as the eye can see, and knowing that this huge palace, which almost occupies one-third of Luoyang City, was expanded and rebuilt from the original Yiwang Palace, Li Zicheng moved towards Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, Li Yan, Niu Jinxing and others laughed and said: "Look, there are countless pavilions, towers and pavilions in this palace city. Just one house is built, plus the furnishings inside, the money spent requires the property of thousands of families. How much money should be spent? How much people’s power should be wasted? How many people should be bankrupted? We will not come out to be thieves if it is used to help the victims, and if it is used as military pay, we will not enter Luoyang!!"...

Liu Zongmin, Li Guo and others on the side all laughed when they heard this remark. Only Niu Jinxing straightened his clothes and gave a deep salute to Li Zicheng. Cite. Wherever he goes, fight the rich and help the poor. Open warehouses to relieve the hunger; cut off corrupt officials and local tyrants and evil gentry, avenge the people; Enter Beijing and rebuild peace and rule the world. This is the way of the Holy Son of Heaven!"

When everyone heard Niu Jinxing's words, they were all happy and laughed. After laughing for a while, Li Zicheng turned to Liu Zongmin and said, "Jiexuan, how are your preparations going?"

"Chuang Wang, everything is ready! Even the notice has been drafted by Mr. Niu. Brother Lin Quan has also reviewed it, and we can act only after Chuang Wang makes a decision!"

On the square outside the Meridian Gate of Fuwang Palace.Two piles of soaring fires were lit by someone, and from time to time, soldiers who broke into the camp picked the flying paper into the fire with their spears. The paper was immediately swallowed by the flames, and turned into a group of flying black butterflies in a blink of an eye.The crowds of people onlookers shouted and applauded thunderously as the soldiers and leaders read out the names of the items thrown into the fire. Many people had tears in their eyes while applauding.

Li Zicheng glanced at the lively scene over there, and his nephew Li Guo immediately took a step forward, "King Chuang, everything has been inspected, and the things burned are the land and mu account books of the palace, the land deeds bought by bullies, and servants." Selling body documents and so on."

Li Zicheng snorted, as a recognition of Li Guo and others' diligent and careful work, and the group rode their horses towards Luoyang West Street.

In the middle of the sky, a round of red sun cast bright and warm sunshine on the earth, shining beads of sweat on the heads of people crowded on the street. Since breakfast, there have been rumors in the streets and alleys that today will be a big red Bad, that is to kill.Thinking about those officials at all levels in Luoyang imprisoned in various temples, people are guessing in their minds, who will be killed today?

Soon, the Lijia chiefs rang the gong to announce that the execution ground outside the west gate was going to kill people, and the notices had been posted in the streets and alleys.

Soon, the news that the emperor's uncle, Fu Wang Zhu Changxun, was going to be beheaded spread in the streets and alleys at three o'clock in the afternoon.All the people who heard the news were overwhelmed, and they all rushed to tell each other.

From Fuwang Palace to Luoyang West Street, and then to the execution ground outside the west gate, the two sides of the street are already full of people, and people want to see how, among the many vassal princes of the Ming Dynasty, the closest bloodline to the emperor, King Fu, was beheaded for public display of!Along the way, every three or five steps there was a soldier standing in the camp, holding a knife and gun there to maintain order, and after leaving the city gate, there was a large group of cavalry standing behind the crowd.

The area around the execution ground was already crowded with people.

Li Guo had already sent someone to renovate the prison beheading platform on the execution ground, filling it with soil and ramming it to make it level. It was at least twice the size of the original one.Under the supervisory platform, thousands of infantry wearing cotton armor surrounded the supervisory platform from a distance. On both sides and behind the supervisory platform, Li Guo's personal soldiers stood neatly in two rows, one row Infantry and cavalry in the first tier, stepping inside and riding outside, were silent.Either holding firecrackers in their hands, or holding long spears in their hands, they are different from the pawns outside who are wearing cotton armor with dark blue crotch, and the front and back of the crotch are made of a round white cloth with the word "chuang" embroidered on them. The soldiers of the old battalion, as the elite of the old battalion, naturally wore an eight-petal iron helmet with an eight-petal hat on their heads, and an iron armor with a leather armor on their body.

Under the supervision platform and around the execution ground, flags are flying, and knives, guns, swords, and halberds are dazzling.

Suddenly, a group of people rushed out from the city. At the same time, a broken gong sounded and three trumpets sounded. The people crowded around the execution ground were excited immediately. They turned around and looked at the city gate together.The people who were sitting on the ground just now stood up one after another.All the people looked towards the city gate, and the short ones stood on tiptoe, stretched their necks, and raised their chins.A group of people came out from the west gate, escorting King Fu and Lu Weiqi out.

Walking in front were a hundred infantrymen, divided into two lines, holding firecrackers in their hands, and the matchlock was slightly smoking from the dragon's head. The firecrackers were carefully taking care of the firecrackers, with their eyes staring left and right and ahead.Then, there were another hundred infantrymen, each holding eight long spears.Then, four swordsmen came out with pushes and belts.Behind him, Lu Weiqi, who was dragged out like a rabbit by the four knives and axemen, couldn't help shouting: "King! Life and death are life and death, and the most important thing is life and death. Don't bow your knees to thieves!"

Behind them were fifty cavalrymen holding long knives.
