Win the Ding 1617

After a while, there was a sound of horseshoes, and fifty cavalry guards and flag officers rushed out of the city gate and rushed to the execution ground along the Xiguan Road.Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Li Yan, Song Xiance, Yuan Zongdi and other high-level figures came on horseback.

The arrival of Li Zicheng and others caused a huge commotion among the Luoyang people who were watching on the execution ground. People wanted to see which one was the legendary star of the army, Li Chuang, and which one was because of persuading wealthy households to open a prison in his hometown in eastern Henan. Mr. Li Yan, who was forced to rebel because he was forced to help the victims of the disaster.

People wanted to squeeze forward, and the people behind pushed the front, but the people in front were blocked by the infantry's horizontal guns and were not allowed to move forward.You crowded me, and the order became chaotic.

Amidst the sound of drums and trumpets, Li Zicheng and a group of people came to the supervisory platform and dismounted.

On the west side of the supervisory platform, there are seven or eight eight immortal tables, and a few people with disheveled hair are sitting around each table. The glasses and plates on the table are full of wine and meat, and their faces are covered with grease.

"Chuang Wang!"

"King Chuang is here!"

"elder brother!"

Seeing Li Zicheng get off his horse and come this way, the group of people immediately got up and said hello.

"Brothers, eat enough, I will send you on your way later!"

"Don't worry, King Chuang! People from our old eighth team are not cowards. Even if we go on the road, we have to eat and drink before we go!" These dozens of people were captured on the spot by Li Yan's cousin Li Quan on the day the city was broken. Among the discipline-disobeying soldiers of the Eighth Squad who were about to be executed on the march, there were many of Li Zicheng's cousins ​​and other relatives.

In the letter Liu Zongmin wrote to Li Zicheng, he wanted to punish these dozens of people in front of the people of Luoyang.Together with King Fu and Lu Weiqi, he was beheaded in front of the people of Luoyang, showing his determination to enter the camp.

"You, you came out of Nanyuan with me, and even blocked an arrow for me."

"You, you were stabbed by Xiangyong in Shangluo Mountain, and you just killed that dog thief."

"When you were in Wushan, you were almost caught by the army for a catty of salt."...

"Brother, don't worry. My aunt is in my hometown, and I will send someone to bring money back to her."

Count one by one the military exploits of the veterans of the eighth team in front of them.Li Zicheng's face changed, "Brothers, it's time to go on the road after eating! Take it easy!"

After the Military and Political Department read aloud the origins, identities, military exploits, crimes and disposal decisions of these dozens of people, the Luoyang people present were so shocked that their jaws dropped.

The old battalion of King Li Chuang's direct line.Even his cousin.It is because he did not obey the military order he issued when entering the city.Robbing and harassing the people without authorization, and raping women, is this punishable under the eyes of everyone?This is if the official army is changed.Not to mention the close identity of a cousin, even a servant will not be beheaded for robbery!Seeing the dozens of old battalion soldiers tied up in front of the execution stage, not only the onlookers in Luoyang trembled, but also the battalion infantry and cavalry who stood on duty on the execution ground felt apprehensive. , it really cannot be violated!

Li Yan, who was seated on the monitoring platform with Li Zicheng, stood up and made a deep bow to Li Zicheng: "Chuang Wang's army has strict discipline and strict law enforcement. The students have learned."

At noon, an eight-pound gun behind the supervisory platform fired a loud noise into the air, which shocked the audience immediately. Two or three war horses were startled by the sound of the cannon, their heads were neighing, their hooves were jumping and howling.

Just after the sound of the guns, Li Guo ordered the swordsmen to prepare for execution.

"Brothers, kneel straighter!" Li Zicheng's cousin Li Hongen confessed to the soldiers who were about to be beheaded on the left and right, and turned his head to the executioner with a friendly smile: "Brothers, sell your skills well and put Do your job neatly! Don't make me suffer!"

"Don't worry, General, King Chuang has already explained it!"

The second cannon rang.The knife and axeman standing on the right pulled out the death flags from the backs of everyone's necks, threw them on the ground, and then walked away.

As soon as the cannon rang for the third time, the axeman standing on the prisoner's left lifted the prisoner's hair with his left hand, and at the same time shouted: "Kneel down!" In a flash, dozens of heads flew out in mid-air, and streams of blood gushed out three feet away.A camp soldier who had been waiting by the side had already jumped out, and wrapped his head in a huge white cloth in his hand to prevent it from falling to the ground.

The moment the rabbit rose and fell, dozens of heads were put away by the soldiers who broke into the camp.

From the execution ground to the top of the city, the common people who watched the beheading broke out and cheered in unison, "Good!!!"

On the one hand, it is to applaud the military discipline of the camp, and on the other hand, it is a tradition left over for thousands of years. When beheading, you must applaud loudly to prevent ghosts from being entangled.

After strictly enforcing military discipline, and taking Luoyang Minxin and Li Yan's loyalty by the way, today's highlight came on stage, "Bring Lu Weiqi up!"

Originally Li Zicheng planned to order Niu Jinxing to come and punish Lu Weiqi, the former Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, after the trial, but Niu Jinxing was unwilling to take the blame for killing a famous Confucianist in Confucianism who was "still popular in the country", so he couldn't make excuses. Li Zicheng It doesn't force him.

Someone escorted Lu Weiqi up from the side, and escorted him to Li Zicheng's beheading platform.

From the place where he was imprisoned to the prison platform, he looked at the old battalion soldiers standing in front of the prison platform and the shining swords in their hands all the way, and couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

He tried to keep himself calm, and kept trying to recall in his mind how he would die by scolding a thief, how he would not bow his knees in front of Li Zicheng, how he would not lose his morals, and how he would not lose his dignity as a minister, so as to leave a record of "cursing a thief to death" in the history. good name.In order to encourage himself to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors and sages, he kept repeating some sentences in Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteous Qi" in his heart, such as "for Yan Chang's tongue, for Zhang Suiyang's teeth"; Take righteousness in the day, now and in the future, the common people have no shame."

For a moment, I thought about how to be unyielding, how to be generous, and for a moment, I regretted that I shouldn't have stayed in Luoyang to defend the city, until today.

There was a roar like thunder in his ears, but it was the soldiers who broke into the camp beside him who ordered him to kneel down.He refused to kneel, and still kept in mind that he was a minister of the Ming Dynasty and could not bow his knees to "thieves".But the warriors on the left and right shouted again and again.It made his heart jump with fear, his legs trembled, he didn't dare to look at the swaying swords and swords, and he didn't dare to look directly at the majestic expression of the person sitting on the chair.He bowed his head, but did not kneel.Seeing that he refused to kneel down, the soldiers slammed his head down and kicked him on the calf at the same time, shouting "Kneel!" Encouraging myself in my heart, I said: "I am a minister of the imperial court. Confucianism is famous for Confucianism. The most important thing is the rules and regulations..."

But at this point, none of this is helping him.He understood that he should not kneel on the ground, but should jump up and yell at "thief", rather than knocking out his teeth.Cut off the tongue.I can't stop cursing until death. "Kill one's life to become benevolent" and establish "heaven and earth righteousness".

Suddenly remembered, if the intruders hadn't entered Luoyang.At this time, I must be preparing for the Zhougong Spring Sacrifice Ceremony with Luoyang officials and gentry. It was originally agreed that at this ceremony, everyone who participated in the event would give a copy of "The Original Meaning of Filial Piety" written by him. In order to teach loyalty and filial piety, and save the world from decline, unexpectedly the situation changes so quickly, vicissitudes in an instant!

Suddenly, he saw Li Yan who was sitting next to Li Zicheng, and he felt courageous in his chest and abdomen: "Aren't you the son of Li Jingbai, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of War? You are also a scholar who has been favored by the imperial court, and has a reputation. The imperial court must have never treated your father, son and brother badly, so why did you become such a thief? Are you disregarding the thousands of years of infamy behind you?".

Li Yan didn't say anything, but Li Mo, who was sitting behind him, was furious. He stood up and drew his sword from his waist, and shouted, "Shut up! You are not allowed to say 'thief' again! Say the word 'thief' again." , I will pull out your tongue immediately! Do you still have the face to talk about the imperial court’s grace, the emperor’s grace and rain? My elder brother used the grain and rice from his family to help the hungry people. For the crime, the Ming Dynasty is exhausted, and my brother's uprising following King Chuang is just a natural act!"

Lu Weiqi raised his head and retorted: "No, no. The reason why the world will always exist and not be destroyed is because of this way. The reason why this way exists is that people's hearts are not dead. Recently, thieves are everywhere..."

A few of Li Guo's personal soldiers stepped forward and swung the scabbard in their hands and drew it on Lu Weiqi's face. The beating caused Lu Weiqi to vomit blood, and a few teeth spit out in the blood: "Unfortunately, the old man fell into your hands today. Putting life and death aside. A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated. Please don't abuse the old man. A few days ago, the old man donated more than [-] shi of private food to help the hungry people in Luoyang. It is also praised by some people, has the general heard of it?"

Others are fine, but Song Xiance, who has been around for a long time and is good at observing words and expressions, or makes a living by capturing the subtle changes in other people's words, actions and expressions, has keenly discovered the subtle changes in tone in Lu Weiqi's words, and no longer keeps saying He called Chuangying a bandit instead of a rebel army.

"No way! Does this old thief also intend to join the rebel army? Absolutely don't let this old thief join the rebel army!" In terms of personal fame and accomplishments, let alone a fortune-telling magician, he is Niu Jinxing and Li Yan. In this way, all the dignified people in the imperial court should respectfully and respectfully perform the late-birth disciple ceremony in front of Lu Weiqi.To let him join the camp, Li Zicheng's momentum will be much stronger, but in that case, what will he do with Song Junjun?

Just about to search his brains and think of a way to kill this old and immortal guy who is a thief, Liu Zongmin sneered through his nostrils and said, "Damn it! You are a fake Taoist! My stomach is full of fallacies. I know that you have given out some old grains to help the hungry people. Don’t you understand what kind of heart you used? You see that our rebel army is so powerful that Luoyang is very tight. You are afraid that when the rebel army comes to attack the city, the hungry people will respond. , so you first asked King Fu to provide money and food to relieve the hunger. The money and food that King Fu took out were embezzled too hard by you and the officials. Seeing that it would not end well, you had no choice but to take out the food in your own warehouse for relief. You want to take these Grain is used as an introduction, one is to advocate among large households, and the other is to buy the hearts of the poor in Luoyang and keep Luoyang unbroken. In the past, you didn’t release relief, why did you wait until the situation was urgent? It’s your benevolence! How can you say that? Damn it! How dare you compare yourself to Brother Lin Quan? Brother Lin Quan sincerely gave out his own food to help the poor. That’s how he got the internal response to the hungry people, conquered Qi County and rescued him because of his righteous deed, you When it comes to the sword, I want to cheat the hungry people in Luoyang city with food, and use it as money to buy their lives, okay? I really plan!"

Liu Zongmin flicked back the scarlet lamb cloak.Throwing a command arrow from the desk case, "cut!"

With the sound of a cannon, Song Xiance's heart immediately calmed down. He knew that this Lu Weiqi was already a member of the ghost gate.

Hearing the sound of the cannon, the people on the execution ground immediately became excited. The beheading of the soldiers who violated the discipline of the old eighth team just now can only be said to be an internal matter of breaking into the camp, which brought shock and consternation to the people of Luoyang.But this cannon shot was intended to kill Lu Weiqi, who was second only to King Fu in Luoyang City.For a time the crowd was excited.The crowd got more crowded.Some of the frail ones were pushed to the ground.

After the sound of the cannon, the knife and ax hand escorted Lu Weiqi to the prison platform and ordered him to kneel down.He knelt on the ground and almost fell down.A swordsman kicked him.He shouted: "Kneel well!" He was startled.Seems a little sober.Reluctantly pressed the ground with both hands, maintaining a half-kneeling and half-prone appearance.Someone in the crowd couldn't help cursing: "Fuck, bastard!"

Lu Weiqi was immediately picked up from the ground by two soldiers.He stripped off his coat, tied it up, and stuck the death flag prepared by the camp clerk behind his neck.He didn't dare to swear, and trembled all over his body, but he tried his best to keep calm and encouraged himself not to make a fool of himself.

After three cannon shots, the knife-axe waved the big knife in his hand, the light of the knife flickered, and Lu Weiqi's head flew out along with the blood gushing out from his neck. He vaguely felt the last bit of consciousness left in his mind. I pissed in my pants, and there was a hot and humid thigh rushing to the calf.He asked secretly: "I'm not dreaming, am I? Could it be that a lot of words are generosity and benevolence?..."

In 12 years, Luoyang was famine.Weiqi persuaded Fu Wang Changxun to distribute money and salaries to inspire people's hearts, but Wang was unconscious.It is to go out of private houses to set up a bureau to stimulate the economy.After hearing about it, return to office.However, most of the hungry people follow the bandits, and the bandits in Henan will flourish again.No matter what, Li Zicheng attacked in a big way, and Weiqi defended the northern city of Luoyang.In the middle of the night, Wang Shaoying, the commander-in-chief of the army, had horses and gallops, who shouted around the city, and echoed from outside the city, so the city fell.The thief knew Weiqi and said: "Isn't Zizheng Lu Shangshu? I can live, and you can go." Weiqi responded, and the thief embraced Weiqi and went.At that time, King Fu often hid in the houses of the people, and pursued the thieves' traces, and met Wei Qi in the Tao.Weiqi reversed the connection, saw the king, and shouted: "My king, the keynote is always the most important. Wait until you die, and don't bow your knees to the thief!" Wang was speechless.Seeing the thief Qukui outside the city of Luoyang, he kneels down according to his item, unyielding, stretches his neck and dies with a knife.A certain day in the first month of the 14th year.Weiqi was fifty-five years old, and he gave the prince Shaobao, sacrificed and buried him, and the shade was like a system.And Weiqi's house was in Xin'an, the city fell in 16 years, and the family was also broken.

Different from the beheading of the soldiers who broke into the camp just now, several small schools picked up Lu Weiqi's head with long spears, and rode their horses to run on the execution ground. Wherever the small flag with the two red letters of law enforcement went, there were bursts of cheers from the crowd.

Seeing this scene, Song Xiance let out a strange smile on his ape-like face: "Lin Quan, kill Lu Weiqi and Zhu Changxun first today, and tomorrow we will break through Kaifeng, and behead Li Xianfeng, Gao Mingheng, and Zhou Wangfu one by one. This bad breath."

"Brother Xian Ce, this statement is wrong! Chuang Wang's move is not to avenge my brother Li Yan, but to seek justice for the people of the Central Plains." Li Yan also smiled, and put Song Xiance's words intact Bring it back to him.

While the two were talking back and forth, Li Zicheng had already thrown down a command arrow and announced the death penalty for Fu Wang Zhu Changxun.

Two sword and ax hands dragged Fu Wang up from the ground, pushed him five feet away from the prison platform, made him face the south, and knelt down in front of the people.The prisoner had lost his ability to restrain himself and was paralyzed on the ground.Thousands of heads gathered on the execution ground, holding their breath in silence.Just waiting for the three soul chasing cannons to sound, the head of Fu Wang, who was once rich and powerful, was about to fall to the ground.

"General Wu! General Wu, can we walk faster? The monk is worried that after Marshal Li executes the military law, King Fu will be trampled on his corpse by the people."

On the road from Luoyang Ximen to Xiguan to the execution ground, Wu Ruyi, the chief of the Chinese army who broke into the camp, took his own soldiers and led a strange team to the execution ground.

The reason why the team is said to be strange is because the people who make up the team have so different styles!

In the words we are familiar with, it is too serious to mix and match!

A small school was walking in the front of the line, holding up a command arrow of Li Zicheng in his hand, followed by two middle-aged eunuchs, and behind the eunuchs, talking next to Wu Ruyi were two fat men in cassocks. The great monk, behind them followed an ox cart carrying a white coffin made of paulownia wood.

The eunuch was the eunuch who served in King Fu's palace. Among the two monks who was talking next to Wu Ruyi was the abbot of Ying'en Temple. Concubine Zheng built it "to express the loyalty and filial piety of her heart". This Daoji monk was a substitute monk for Concubine Zheng to be shaved for her beloved son. It can restrain the corpse of King Fu.

And the person they entrusted, who is walking with Wu Ruyi at the moment, is the master of this strange team, the great monk Yongxin who came from Dengfeng overnight after learning that Luoyang City was broken.

In the team, there are all young monks with ring scars on their heads. Although the banners at the front of the team were blown up by the wind, they could not be seen very clearly, and only two characters could be vaguely seen swaying in the wind. However, the lotus flowers on the banners It can be seen clearly at a glance.

ps: Guess everyone, what team is here.
