Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 551 Changing Xijing to Xi'an
When night falls, the Ming army outside Xijing City is like a mountain of soldiers and the sea, covering the sky and covering the sky, and you can't see the edge at a glance, as if they want to crush the land outside Xijing City. Archers, death squads, ladders, and siege vehicles are all made Ready, but after listening to an order, they began to storm Xijing.

One hundred red cannons had already aimed at the city. Li Zhushi, commander of the artillery battalion, and thousands of brothers in the artillery battalion held torches and prepared to light the cannons.

Song Xiance, Ma Jinhua, He Xuanjiao and others rode to the city early on. The two imperial concubines asked Song Xiance several times to order the attack on the city in advance. They thought that His Majesty still had no news at such a time. It seemed that the peace talks had failed. Your Majesty and the others It must have been more ominous than ominous, either he was caught and captured or he was murdered.

But Song Xiance was relatively calm and insisted on acting according to His Majesty's will, and the second concubine was so heartbroken that she did not dare to overstep.

Ermei is very regretful now, why didn't she risk her life to persuade His Majesty to stop the peace talks from entering the city? How can five people deal with Li Zicheng's [-] army? Talking, just talk with cannons?

Ma Jinhua and He Xuanjiao were so anxious that they were about to cry.Ma Wannian, Zhang Huan, Li Quan, Liu Chunhong, Zhao Fu, Fang Dongxu and other generals were also anxious, hoping to enter the city as soon as possible and rescue His Majesty.

But Song Xiance didn't give an order, and they didn't dare to make mistakes, because Zhu Yousong temporarily handed over the command of the whole army to Song Xiance before leaving.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Song Xiance was at a loss. Did something unexpected happen to His Majesty?Your Majesty is intelligent and powerful, Huiying, Huimei, Zhang Nai and Shuangxi are all brave men, so there shouldn't be any movement among the five monarchs and ministers, right?Or wait and see.

Therefore, Song Xiance suppressed his ups and downs and insisted on waiting until dark before attacking the city with all his strength. This was the order Zhu Yousong gave him before entering the city.

At this time, all the generals of the Dashun army in the city abandoned their guns and raised the white flag to surrender, and the gates of the city were opened.

At this time, Zhu Yousong suddenly appeared at the top of the city, safe and sound.

Song Xiance, Ma Jinhua and He Xuanjiao couldn't believe their eyes. Didn't they look bad, and Li Zicheng and others found a substitute?They rubbed their eyes and widened their eyes before looking again. Could they not recognize it?It really is His Majesty!
Look around Zhu Yousong, Huimei, Huiying, Zhang Nai and Shuangxi, the four guards are handsome men and beautiful women, Li Zicheng, Gao Guiying, Gao Yigong, Li Guo, Tian Jianxiu are surrounded by the left and right, like stars holding the moon .

Song Xiance, Ma Jinhua and others looked at each other in blank dismay.Countless soldiers of the Ming army in the city were stunned to see this harmonious scene.

Under the stunned eyes of everyone, Zhu Yousong said: "Dear dear friends, I am here to tell you a great news. The peace talks have been successful. General Li and his wife have led the people to submit to me unconditionally. From now on, we will be a family." people..."

"The peace talks were successful?"

"Li Zicheng surrendered unconditionally?"...

I couldn't believe it for a while.Then the Ming army boiled.

"Long live Hongfu Qitian! Long live brave and invincible, long live long live, long live..." As soon as Zhu Yousong finished speaking, Song Xiance, Ma Jinhua, He Xuanjiao and others took the lead in shouting. A sea of ​​cheers.

To surrender unconditionally, to lead the people to surrender the city, to surrender without bloodshed, without using a knife or a single shot, this is the real soldier who surrenders without fighting, and this is tantamount to the highest state of war.

Otherwise, once the war breaks out, no matter who wins or loses, blood will flow into rivers, corpses will be like mountains, and the peace talks will be successful, avoiding the bloodshed and sacrifice of thousands of soldiers, and the people in the city will also be saved from the pain of war. One life is better than building a seven-pole pagoda, let alone saving so many lives?The merit is as great as the sky!

At the appointed time, the Ming army marched into Xi'an, and all the [-] Dashun troops in the city were on standby for reorganization.

Zhu Yousong issued an edict to strictly enforce military discipline, not to disturb the people, and those who disobeyed the order will be killed.Under the planning of Song Xiance and others, the soldiers of each battalion entered the city in order.The common people were so frightened that they closed their doors a long time ago, but no matter whether it was the Dashun army who surrendered or the Ming army who entered the city, no soldier broke into the house without authorization.

The next day, Zhu Yousong ascended to the Golden Palace, including Li Zicheng and his wife, and all the civil and military generals had finished paying homage to the king.

Zhu Yousong conferred the title of Song Xiance on the spot as Grand Master of LongTuge, Li Zi as Marquis of Xi'an, Gao Guiying as Mrs. First-rank Marquis, Li Guo, Tian Jianxiu, and Gao Yigong were all third-rank military generals. Quan, Ma Wannian, Zhang Huan, Li Zhushi, Zhao Fu, Fang Dongxu and others will follow.

The generals ran down again, thank you Lord Ron.

However, Zhu Yousong issued an order to sort out and reorganize the [-] Dashun Army. Like the usual captives, those who are willing to continue to eat food as soldiers will stay and disrupt the order and be incorporated into the Ming Army's battalions, and the food and salary will remain the same.Those who are unwilling to stay in the army, after being registered, will not be forced to return to their hometowns to do farming and business. They will be dismissed on the spot according to the principle of returning to their hometowns if they have their origins, and they will be dismissed on the spot if they cannot.

Ma Wannian and Zhang Huan were responsible for reorganizing the army, and Shuangxi and Li Quan were responsible for dismissing those who did not want to stay in the army.Then a happy edict was passed on to Gao Hongtu, the chief assistant of the cabinet of the capital, and other civil and military officials. Li Zicheng surrendered and surrendered, and the Dashun regime was gone. This was undoubtedly a great joy for the Ming court.

Xijing was changed to Xi'an, and the Ming army issued a list to calm the people, and notices were posted everywhere in the streets and alleys.

The Dashun regime ceased to exist overnight. The city of Xi’an changed its banner and changed its master. It is still under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. After 300 years, they are still willing to be the people of the Ming Dynasty, which is a hundred times better than the rule of the Tartars and bandits At first, the common people couldn't believe it, and then the brave man quietly opened the door and took to the streets.

A few days later, the city of Xi'an returned to its usual prosperity.

On this day, after Zhu Yousong issued an order to Li Zicheng and his wife to meet Zhu Yousong, Zhu Yousong said: "My dear dears, I have something to ask the second minister for help."

The current Li Zicheng and his wife are very satisfied with Zhu Yousong. Zhu Yousong did what he said, and he did not blame the past. Instead, he reused them all. Zhu Yousong is undoubtedly an eternal Mingjun with a heart like heaven for them to be able to do this. .

Li Zicheng felt that he was wise for a while, and he was grateful for his wife's understanding of current affairs.Huiying Huimei and Zhang Nai Shuangxi came to see Li Zicheng and his wife begging on their knees. Li Zicheng turned his face away without saying a word. The two men and two women knew that their father still had a grudge against them. They made the four feel gratified.

After the four of them left, Gao Guiying stepped back and asked Li Zicheng: "It's all over, and now we are protecting Daming together, can't we forgive the four of them?"

"Hey..." Li Zicheng sighed, "No, Madam doesn't know something. When I saw them, I thought of Na'er..." Li Zicheng's eyes were moist, and Gao Guiying was already in tears, so she didn't dare to say more. The incident was deeply buried in their hearts, but in the past few days, this incident has caused them to cry and sometimes stay up all night.

Seeing that His Majesty summoned them today and treated them so courteously, the two of them quickly saluted: "Your Majesty is serious, just tell me what you want, and I will definitely die."
