Chapter 525 Double Happiness Returns

Chapter 525 Double Happiness Returns
The ancient city of Luoyang has really experienced vicissitudes of life. It has experienced the baptism of wars as early as the Three Kingdoms period.In the last two years of the Ming Dynasty alone, there were several changes of masters.First it was ruled by the Ming Dynasty, then it fell into the hands of the traitor Li Zicheng, and then it fell into the hands of the Manchu Tartars. Zhu Yousong drove the Tartars north and took it back to the Ming Dynasty.

In the first year of Hongguang, Li Zicheng launched an army and took her away again, but after only a few months, she returned to Daming's embrace.

Luoyang City changes its flags so frequently, it is true that the sky is also old if there is love!

It's just that the current Luoyang City is basically an empty city. When Li Zicheng captured Luoyang this time, the nature of the bandit army was more prominent, just because he heard that the people in the city assisted the Ming army in defending the city, he actually massacred the city. The unarmed common people started to kill, looted, raped and burned for three days. During these three days, the city was bloody and bloody. Tens of thousands of people in the city were basically slaughtered. up.

Therefore, when Li Zicheng captured Luoyang this time, most of the people living in the city were soldiers, and there were very few Li people.

When the army was about to be defeated, he set a fire again, and it was in the middle of the night, and Chengdu was full of smog and miasma. Therefore, when Zhu Yousong was able to go to Luoyang, there were not many people in Zhongfeidan, and it was almost turned into ruins.

Fortunately, Zhu Yousong sent an order to put out the fire in time to appease the people, and sent Henan Prime Minister Chen Qianfu to take charge of the matter.

Chen Qianfu deserves to be a prime minister-type talent. He has been in Henan for several years and has a certain prestige. Zhu Yousong's policy has taken root in Luoyang.

So just a few days later, the city returned to its old appearance.The people fleeing nearby heard that the Ming army was coming again, and Li Zicheng was beaten away.

Some couldn't believe it, they got out of the deep mountains and old forests, and came together to check the reality. On the top of the city, it was indeed the banner of the Ming army, and there were troops of the Ming Dynasty everywhere inside and outside the city.

Inside and outside the city, there were long queues of ragged and disheveled common people. Some received rice and noodles, and some collared rice.

Now they believed it, and ran to tell each other, some of them were so excited that they cried, knelt down on the ground, and prayed to the sky, "God bless you, please don't let the intruders come back again, they are not human at all, they are worse than Tartars!" It's still ruthless!"

But these people were frightened by Zhan Luan and asked them to live in the city. They were really afraid, because they had no idea, so they came to the temporary prime minister's office to meet Chen Qianfu.

Chen Qianfu really didn't put on airs, wearing a square-winged black gauze and a red beast official uniform, standing on a high place, Lang Sheng said to the people: "Folks, my official Henan Province Prime Minister Chen Qianfu can tell everyone responsibly that breaking through The thief will definitely not come back this time. Because your majesty has become a martial artist, "

When Chen Qianfu said this, he cupped his hands in the direction of the Luoyang palace, and continued, "In the just-concluded battle of Luoyang, His Majesty planned a strategy to wipe out Li Zicheng's 5 horses in one fell swoop, severely injured the bandit Li Zicheng, and severely injured his vitality. More than a dozen riders fled in embarrassment. Your Majesty is resting his troops and horses. Soon he will send troops to Shanzhou to attack Tongguan. The robbers are not far away from the day of destruction. You can rest assured to live in the city. I guarantee my personality. This time everyone is sure to be safe and live and work in peace and contentment, this is a gift from His Majesty."

"Since the prime minister has said so, it must be true, long live Hongguang the Great, long live the emperor..." the people shouted and dispersed.

Then word spread, groups of people came to the city one after another, moved to live in the city, in the past few days there has been an endless stream, the shops have also opened, the hawkers have also become active, and Luoyang City has stabilized again. , gradually restored its former prosperity.

As soon as Zhang Nai's injury healed, he asked his wife Huiying to accompany him to see Shuangxi in the prisoner's cell.

In the past few days, tens of thousands of prisoners of the Dashun Army have surrendered. Zhu Yousong treats the prisoners so preferentially. Only fools who don’t know the current affairs choose to spend their days in prison, and some choose to continue to eat food as soldiers Some military generals are responsible for adapting them; some are really tired of this life of fighting and killing as soldiers. After being informed about Zhu Yousong's captive policy, he took off his military uniform, handed over his guns and went home.

Along the way, Zhang Nai and Huiying met many familiar faces, and some even saluted them.

At the door of the cell, a soldier will open the door, and there is a person lying on the bed inside, covered with a quilt, no matter what happens outside, he is indifferent.

On the small table next to the bed, there are teapots, tea bowls and meals.

The military leader here told Zhang Nai and his wife that Shuangxi's injury was not serious, the arrow had been taken out long ago, and she was not unconscious, but Shuangxi had not eaten or drank for two days and two nights, and her body was quite weak. Anyone who persuaded him would scold him. Who, at first only wanted to die, is now silent.

The military medical officer had to come twice a day, but these two days they shook their heads and left, and Shuangxi refused even to change the dressing to bandage the wound.

After Zhang Nai and Huiying understood the situation, they asked everyone else to go out, and closed the door with Huiying.

Huiying helped her husband to the bedside and sat down. First, she announced her family name. Sure enough, the double happiness inside the quilt moved, but then there was no movement again.Zhang Nai and Huiying took turns persuading him for half an hour, but the quilt still didn't respond.

Finally, Zhang Nai winked at Huiying and said, "Yingzi, how about it, anyway, we can't persuade Brother Shuangxi, and we must not see Brother Zhang Xi die in prison. Sweet, let's just let him go. I'm handicapped, so you go and kill the general at the door, help Brother Shuangxi escape, and then ask His Majesty to plead guilty."

Huiying immediately understood what her husband meant, but she pretended to be surprised and said, "How could it happen? There are so many generals out there, they will cut us to pieces. Even if we survived by luck, His Majesty will execute us at a later date!"

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch brother Zhang Xi die here? Brother Zhang Xi is our best brother, it's worth our husband and wife's death for him."

"Then... well, husband, have you really thought about it? There is a sword here, you have to take care of yourself and protect Brother Shuangxi, I'm going to kill people right now!" Pull it out, turn around and walk out.

"Wait!" As soon as the quilt was lifted, Shuangxi sat up on the bed suddenly, "You can't do this...I, I am willing to surrender..."

Shuangxi and Zhang Nai hugged each other tightly...

"Junbing, come in and heat up the food."

"Quickly call the military doctor to change Brother Shuangxi's medicine."

After a meal, Zhang Nai and his wife came out happily and told the guarding general and military doctor, who gave the couple their thumbs up.

Then Zhang Nai and Huiying went to see Zhu Yousong to announce the good news.
