The Sun Never Sets Great China

At the gate of the dark east city gate, hundreds of soldiers were guarding here. The lights were brightly lit, and the guards were patrolling back and forth. They all carry big knives.Hundreds of Ming troops guarding the city gate with long spears were shot down in half by a single volley, and the rest also fled in panic.

Zhang Huahan commanded people to open the gate of the city, and immediately let everyone go. After he led 300 people, he had already contacted him during the day. Li Erdan's first division, first brigade and second regiment supported Wulidi. A brigade marched a hundred miles to meet them.So as long as everyone walks five miles away, it will be safe.

In the Nanjing Imperial Palace, after Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong heard the report from his subordinates, he said to Wu Tianwu, whose alias was Zhu Wu: "They have acted. I have mobilized three thousand musket cavalry and are ready. Zhang Huahan's character is sure to If you can’t kill Zhang Huahan, you don’t have to come back to see me.” Wu Tianwu, whose alias is Zhu Wu, said: “I will kill him, but you don’t want to kill him. Speaking in this tone, I am not under your control, I am just a partner with you, it is good that you are the emperor, but a person like me is a fairy-like figure who can kill you at any time, and is not under your jurisdiction. "Zhu Yousong nodded quickly.Wu Tianwu, whose alias is Zhu Wu, saw Zhu Yousong's softness, and strode out of the palace. After he walked out of the palace, he saw that the Musketeers were still carrying some wooden barrels, which seemed to be gunpowder for muskets, so he didn't care. Just got on the horse.

Eunuch Gao, who was beside Zhu Yousong, walked to his side under Zhu Yousong's signal. Zhu Yousong said in a low voice: "Go and command the Musketeers, and remember to shoot and blow up both of them at all costs. When you come back, you will have your glory and wealth." Eunuch Gao nodded hurriedly and left.

Zhu Yousong said to Wu Tieli who was beside him: "I know that Zhang Huahan saved you and me back then. You have gratitude to him, and I do too. But for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, we must get rid of him. Do you understand?" Wu Tieli said: " I am indeed dissatisfied with you killing him, but you are our master and the emperor, and I only know how to be loyal to you, and if you want to kill my benefactor, I can't object to it, let alone stop it." Zhu Yousong sighed, Said: "You are not as capable as him, but he can't be used by me. His mind is full of democracy, China, and things that are useless to my rule, and even pose a great threat to me, so we must get rid of them." Get rid of him, you are stupid but loyal, I only trust you and Xiao Gao!"

At the gate of the east gate of Nanjing, Zhang Huahan led three hundred quick gunmen to block the army commanded by Huang Degong himself. And they quickly dropped thousands of corpses.But the death of thousands of Ming army soldiers also made them rush to the people led by Zhang Huahan. The people led by Zhang Huahan were quickly submerged. Zhang Huahan whistled and let those who could withdraw out of the city gate first. The guard guarded the gate, holding two big knives in his hands and swung them rapidly, forming a wind of knives. More than 30 soldiers of the Ming army were hacked to death by the wind of knives, while the remaining 100 quick gunmen retreated behind Zhang Huahan to cover and shoot .

At this time, [-] cavalry rushed out from the city, all of them were musketeers, flying off a horse, and one of them flew over the densely packed Ming army group, and soon rushed to Zhang Huahan. The person who came was none other than Wu Tianwu, whose alias was Zhu Wu.

When Wu Tianwu came over and made a wrong palm, he launched a fierce attack on Zhang Huahan. Zhang Huahan flew up with both swords and fought against him.The two fought against each other, their bodies were flying, and the soldiers on both sides couldn't get through. They didn't shoot for fear of accidentally injuring their own.

At this time, Eunuch Gao on the horse came down quickly, and Huang Degong, who was in command of the army, ran over at this time and met Eunuch Gao. Eunuch Gao asked him to command the soldiers to bring a few Musketeers with wooden barrels and carry them to the gate of the city. Since the place where the two of them moved along the city wall's cave for soldiers, neither Zhang Huahan nor Wu Tianwu, whose pseudonym Zhu Wu was fighting, saw it, and the more than 100 fast gunmen led by Zhang Huahan couldn't be seen outside the city gate. May see.

Zhang Huahan has a weapon in his hand, which is very advantageous. Wu Tianwu, who has been slashed twice, regrets that he didn't bring a weapon. He doesn't know how to use firearms, and he doesn't bring a knife or gun. Most of the time, whoever holds the weapon has a little advantage, and this advantage is the key to victory.

Zhang Huahan injects powerful internal force into the two steel knives, turning the two steel knives into incomparably sharp and indestructible magic weapons, forcing Wu Tianwu, who can only suffer skin and flesh wounds from ordinary muskets, to dodge in fear of being cut down. Nervously dodging Zhang Huahan's double knives, he could only look for opportunities to counterattack a few times.

Eunuch Gao, who had been secretly trained in musket commanding, commanded the [-] musketeers he brought and Huang Degong's [-] musketeers to combine to form a large-scale musketeer three-strike formation, so that the soldiers of the Ming army avoided the gate of the city.

When there were still hundreds of Ming soldiers not escaping, Eunuch Gao commanded the first row of [-] musketeers to fire towards the gate of the city. Hundreds of Ming soldiers were shot and fell to the ground immediately. Seeing hundreds of elite soldiers he had carefully trained fell under the guns of his own people, his heart was bleeding.But he also knew that Zhang Huahan was a master of martial arts, so he ran away when he saw that his troops were all scattered and exposed gun arrays.And since Eunuch Gao, who is trusted by the emperor, came out in person, everything must have been ordered by the emperor, so he couldn't say anything.

Zhang Huahan and Wu Tianwu, whose alias is Zhu Wu, were also shot, but both of them reacted quickly, almost exceeding the limit of human beings. After a burst of gunfire, the two immediately became blood sieves. After another burst of gunfire, there was an earth-shattering vibration and loud noise. It turned out that several barrels of gunpowder placed at the gate of the city were detonated, flying sand, rocks, and dust. Many Ming soldiers and Zhang Huahan led All the quick shooters were killed, crushed or wounded.

Huang Degong's calves trembled after a long battle. He didn't expect that the barrel was full of gunpowder. Such a big battle was to deal with Zhang Huahan. It can be seen that Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong was extremely afraid of Zhang Huahan and killed him at all costs.

The loyal fast gunners desperately turned over the stones to find the leader's body. It was not until the Ming army reacted to attack them that they found Zhang Huahan's bloody head and half of his armless arm. They retreated with Zhang Huahan's remnant body. .

More than 100 loyal fast gunners played the best level during training, reloading and shooting while running, while the Ming army musketeers on horseback could hardly reload on their horses. The gap between the speed of the horse and the speed of the man cannot be changed, nor can the difference between the number of three thousand and more than 100 be changed. During the run, the wounded fast gunman sang the song "Flag Against the Wind" or "Serving the Country with Loyalty" loudly, After desperately breaking, let the people in front deliver the leader's body to the comrades in the first division.

When the fast gunners ran for about three or four miles, there were only a dozen of them left. Thousands of Ming army cavalry who had already loaded their bullets rushed over, and they were about to be caught up with Zhang Huahan's body. up.Suddenly there were countless musket shots in front of them, and they heard the sound of the guards' fast guns. The first division came. After running desperately for a long time beyond their limits, most of them lost their strength and fainted as soon as they relaxed.

The first division led by Li Erdan came, and Li Erdan shouted: "Brothers shoot, reload quickly, hurry up, shoot these bastards." He shouted and found the dozen or so surviving Quick shooter, he wanted to see Zhang Huahan eagerly. When he saw Zhang Huahan's bloody face, he yelled and passed out.

The well-trained deputy division commander immediately commanded the troops to beat back the enemy and then retreated. They only came with more than 3000 people. After all, there are tens of thousands of troops in Nanjing, and they ran here with no supplies or much ammunition. There is a danger of annihilation of the entire army in retreat.

When a beautiful little girl who followed them saw Zhang Huahan's head, she first looked surprised and sad, and then looked in the direction of Nanjing with doubts, and then she quietly left the team of the First Nursing Division and went to Nanjing alone. go.

The news of the death of Zhang Huahan, the leader of the guards, shocked all the forces in the country. Zhu Yousong, the Hongguang Emperor of Nanjing, went to Mu Wangfu in Yunnan, Zheng Zhilong in Fujian, Li Huaifang, the general of Liangjiang, and Yang Zhan, Zeng Ying, Hou Yongxi, the famous generals in the guards. They waited for someone to secretly send an imperial decree, announcing that the guards were rebels, and asked them to immediately destroy the guards on the spot and protect the safety of the emperor.

As soon as the Northern Manchu Qing received Zhu Yousong's secret letter, they mobilized 20 Musketeers, [-] Manchurian-Han Eight-Banner Army, and [-] Green Battalion Army to attack the territory guarding Mao Zedong from Shandong and Henan.

After Zheng Zhilong from Fujian received the imperial edict, he immediately consulted with his son Zheng Sen. Unlike Zheng Zhilong, who was born as a pirate and a businessman and was not very ambitious, Zheng Sen had great ambitions. He actively trained a large number of soldiers in order to He has achieved a lot of hegemony, so as soon as he saw the imperial decree, he immediately mobilized his troops and set off immediately to attack the Guangdong and Guangxi areas where there are relatively few guards.

As soon as King Mu's Mansion of Yunnan received the imperial decree, Mu Tianbo and King Gui called together troops, and they mobilized 15 troops to attack Liangguang and Huguang and other places close to their territory.

After receiving the imperial edict, Li Huaifang, the general of Liangjiang, mobilized [-] soldiers in the area under his jurisdiction and hastily forced [-] strong men to rush to Nanjing, hoping to defend the emperor and make a contribution.

After receiving the imperial decree, Zeng Ying and Yang Zhan, who guarded the army, announced in Guangdong and Huguang respectively that they would leave the army and decided to attack the territory of the army.

But Li Youguang, Zeng Ying's deputy division commander, and two brigade commanders, Song Maocai and Wang Chengming, are old guards who are loyal to the police. , Zeng Ying was also shot in the head by Li Youguang and died.

After Huguang's Yang Zhan received the imperial edict, he kept the edict secret, and immediately called all the officers above the company commander to his division headquarters for a meeting. They were all killed, and quickly let their cronies control the army. Many platoon leaders who were loyal to the guards led their soldiers to resist Yang Zhan's control of the army, but they were killed by most of the soldiers controlled by Yang Zhan. Seeing that there was nothing to be done, a few people fled to the nearby troops of Li Guo, Bai Wang and Li Yan.

Hou Yongxi, who was stationed in Sichuan, also received the imperial edict. After receiving the imperial edict, he asked the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict to go down to rest first, and he summoned all his cronies.

In his division headquarters, Hou Yongxi looked at the dozens of people who had followed him for many years, and said, "I called everyone here today, because I want everyone to see this thing." Pass to see.

After reading the imperial decree, dozens of Hou Yongxi's cronies all looked heavy, but they didn't know what the master meant and didn't speak.Hou Yongxi looked at them and said, "Let's talk about it, what should we do?" A burly man stood up and said, "Brother Hou, don't ask us, everyone is a brother who crawled out of the dead with you, you Just say, we all listen to you and go with you." Everyone also nodded in agreement.

Hou Yongxi looked at them and said: "What I mean is that you should think about who you should follow. You should think about it yourself. I just want to hear what you think and what you have to say. Everyone speaks from their hearts. Everyone It’s all my own people who say they’re wrong and don’t be afraid of being right.”

Everyone was silent for a while, and a tall and thin man stood up and said, "Since the eldest brother said it, then I will tell you what is in my heart. I was born in a poor family, and I joined the army to earn a living. Three people in my family My two brothers also joined the army and died in battle. My parents depend on my sister and brother-in-law for support, and I send money home, but everyone knows that we will die when we fight, and there is often no military pay. Luo Luo, my brother-in-law’s family is also poor, and he has to take care of his father and mother. After I die in battle, where will he get so much money to support the four old people and his children? But when the nurse came, the policy was different. I directly gave my father and mother and my sister and brother-in-law the land, and because I was an officer, I exempted them from most of the land tax. Originally, the land tax for protecting the mother was not heavy. Now they can have food, and I am dead, my father Not only is my old lady completely exempted from the land tax, but the government also subsidizes it every month. To be honest, I have never seen such a caring army and government. If it weren't for the overwhelming kindness of my elder brother, I would definitely go to the nurse." As he spoke, his eye circles were a little red, obviously because he thought of the bitterness before and the situation after the nurse came, and he was a little excited.

After hearing his words, everyone was silent. Everyone admitted that most of the people here were born in poverty, and their families more or less benefited from the prostitution policy.

At this time, a dark man with a strong but short stature stood up and said, "I agree with what the old king said, but the kindness of the boss to us is greater than that of the nurse. Over the years, we have encountered any difficult situation. Yes, but when did the boss cut off the money we sent home, he even sold his wife’s jewelry to his brothers as military pay, and what is the biggest in the world? The emperor is the biggest, and the emperor’s imperial decree has come. If we disobey it, we will disobey the decree , Even the guard can’t be bigger than the emperor! From now on, the guard will be a rebel and a bandit army, but we will do what the boss says. Boss, what should everyone do when you say something?”

Hou Yongxi stood up and said: "Actually, I have thought about it a long time ago. I am afraid that everyone will object, so I want to hear everyone's opinions. Lao Gao said that who is the biggest now is the emperor. I said no, it is the common people. My family is poor and I have no education. I’ve read some books, but I’ve heard a storyteller say that the king is a boat, the people are water, and water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. I didn’t even dare to think about the policy of protecting ** before, but I would like to do it What about the implementation of this policy? Let me tell you today that I am willing to die for this policy. Chief Zhang Huahan is dead. It is my regret that I have not met the leader of this policy, but Chief Huang is still here, we are still here, Now that this policy has been implemented, we cannot let the poor brothers and sisters in the world see this hope and then see it shattered. On the contrary, those who oppose our policy are against the people of the world, and they are against the biggest person in the world, the emperor. No way, didn’t we say it in our military song? The flag we raise, dyed with our own blood, is itself a flag against the wind, and we must carry this flag against the wind.” Everyone stood up and shouted : "Follow the command of the teacher." Hou Yongxi said: "Behead the eunuch, send his head and imperial decree to Chief Huang, tell him that Sichuan will never lose our [-]th Division, and then inform Chen Zilong of the [-]th Division." Ai Nengqi of the [-]th Division told them to be careful about the enemy's alienation schemes, and told them that their [-]th Division brothers swore to defend southern Sichuan to the death."
