Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 352 I can't break my promise to the people

In the busy market at Caishikou, 5000 people were beheaded at once. This situation is unprecedented. Zhu Yousong ordered people to release the news. 3000 people maintained order, collected corpses, cleaned the execution ground and dealt with the aftermath.

The common people rushed to tell each other that they heard that five thousand Tartars were going to be killed at once like an execution of a prisoner. They could hardly believe it was true. There were a lot of discussions in the streets and alleys. The location is unclear.

Everyone wants to watch this once-in-a-lifetime event.

Sure enough, just after the morning, a Ming army arrived, demarcated the warning area, and set up the execution ground.

Only then did the common people believe that this matter was absolutely true, pointing fingers, whispering, with irresistible excitement on their faces, saying everything at once.

"Brother, I heard that the Tartars will be beheaded publicly today, is it true?"

"It looks like it's true, don't you want to set up an execution ground?"

"It's absolutely true. I woke up early this morning and saw countless Tartars being tied up. I heard that they were going to cheat the city and they were spotted. That's why they were arrested and publicly executed."

"It deserves it, these evil things deserve to die, they should have died long ago."

"Kill so many Tartars at once, have you ever seen it?"

"Who has seen it? These years, we only saw the Tartars massacre and enslave us Han people. I didn't expect them to have today."

"I heard that it was the emperor's decree that all the five thousand tartars would have their guts ripped out, that is, the hearts and livers of living people would be dug out for them. Do you dare to see it?"

"Then why don't you dare, this is the only way to relieve your anger. The Tartars are full of evil, and they killed well!"

"It's not that bad, God really has eyes, I met a good emperor, long live long live long live..."

In a ruined temple in Luoyang City, Tong Dabao, who looked like a ferocious monk, was wearing a tattered monk's uniform and kicking tattered straw sandals. He hurried in to Tong Yangjia and wiped the sweat from his face, "My lord, it's not a good thing." It's... We were fooled. The so-called persuasion to surrender and lure officials is a trick of the Ming army. It's nothing like that. After General Zhuo Luo entered the city, they were all arrested. Stomach!" Tong Dabao was anxious and panicked, a little out of breath.

"what?"

Tong Dabao repeated it again, and finally asked Tong Yangjia what to do.

To Tong Yangjia, this news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

These few days he was waiting for this opportunity, he had already figured out the situation of the Ming army in the city.Zhu Yousong was indeed in Luoyang, and there were only 5000 Ming troops in the city.As long as Zhuo Luo's troops can enter the city, [-] people should cooperate with outsiders, and it will not be a problem to take down Luoyang.

At that time, he will lead a hundred fake monks to attack Zhu Yousong's palace, and he will surely succeed.But never expected that they would be arrested as soon as they entered the city, and they would be sentenced to death. The false emperor is too cunning, and Zhuo Luo and his gang are too stupid. How can they be captured without a fight?

Out of astonishment, Tong Yangjia only wanted to scold his mother, but it was useless to scold his ancestors at this time. The helpers were gone.

In the end, Tong Yangjia gritted his teeth and made a decision. He and Tong Dabao split up and acted separately. The two took 50 people each.

"It's the only thing we can do now. It's just that our manpower is too small. You know, it would be great if we brought more brothers here." Tong Dabao obviously lacked confidence when he said this.

"Many people have big goals. If we bring more people, we have already exposed it. These 100 people are enough, and each of them is equal to ten. As long as one of us can succeed, the matter will be settled. Lord Baylor's brigade will be able to do it immediately." Come on, success or failure depends on one move, we have no way out."

"What your lord said is very true, we will definitely succeed." With Tong Yangjia's few words, Tong Dabao was full of hope again, and the two hurriedly left the ruined temple.

It's late in the morning.Not a few of the five thousand Tartars had been taken to the execution ground, kneeling neatly in a square formation.

The common people were empty alleys, standing neatly outside the cordon, completely enclosing the huge execution ground.

Two thousand Ming soldiers held swords and guns and maintained order at the scene. One thousand Ming soldiers were in charge of execution. In fact, only 500 people held the swords, and the other 500 people assisted them. Basically, they were in groups of two, and each group consisted of ten Tartars. Disemboweled.

Zheng Damu, who was covered in armor and had a majestic face, was sitting on the stage in the tent, waiting for the arrival of three o'clock in the afternoon.

The reason why we had to wait until this hour for the surgery was because the people gathered the most at this time, and this was also the time set by His Majesty Zhu Yousong, otherwise we would not have to wait until now.

The scale of this large execution ground is unprecedented. Fortunately, Luoyang City is relatively large. If it is an ordinary small county, it is estimated that such an execution ground cannot be tolerated in the city.

Just at this moment, a fast horse crossed the street and alley like an arrow, and came to Zhu Yousong's palace. The man on the horse rolled off the saddle and fell off the horse.

"Your Majesty, Man Dahai led a total of 3 Tartars' main forces to Luoyang, less than forty miles away from here."

For the Qingqi of the Qing army, it took more than half an hour for more than 30 miles, which was basically the scheduled time for five thousand Tartars to be disemboweled. What a coincidence.

"Oh, the Tartars have come to attack my Luoyang again?...So it was this trick that they used, feigning surrender, attacking east and west, and cooperating with the inside and the outside. It's a good strategy. I will play with them." Zhu Yousong was quick thinking. , immediately understood the series of tricks of the Tartars.

"Your Majesty, do you want to detain these Tartars first, and execute them after they are defeated?"

Zhu Yousong shook his head, "How can it be done? I can't break my trust with the people. The execution ground has already been set up. After such a big effort, how can I just withdraw?

Isn’t it just that tens of thousands of Tartars are coming to attack the city, let them attack, I have already been prepared for them, tell Zheng Damu, do it according to my will. "

"Slave and servant lead the decree." An Lin didn't dare to say more, and passed the decree.

Zhu Yousong passed Li Quan in and told him that there were only a few hundred Jinyi guards left inside and outside the palace, and the remaining [-] ex-Doming Jiayi health guards all went to the city to assist in defending the city.

Ma Jinhua and He Xuanjiao also want to ask for an order to go to the city to kill the enemy at this time. Zhu Yousong took a beauty from the left and right, and said with a smile: "No hurry, no hurry, after all the five thousand Tartars in the city have been disemboweled, wait for the top of the city to kill the enemy." The things prepared for them to defend the city are not far behind, and I will go out with you again. But then we will not go to the city to defend the city, but to attack the city and wipe out these Tartars. Wouldn't it be more beautiful?"
