The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 324 I will drag you to be buried with me

Jiang Chuan won successive victories in Liaodong, beating the Manchu and Qing Tartars all over the place, and even the capital was breached, and when the emperor and queen mother were captured, Li Zicheng was also very energetic and arrogant in the pass.

When Jiangchuan's victory report was sent to the capital, Li Zicheng's Dashun Army South Road had already breached Jinan City, and at this time crossed the Yellow River and marched towards Hejian Mansion.

And his West Route Army has also conquered Taiyuan, an important town in Shanxi, and is now marching towards Zhending Mansion.

Now wherever Li Zicheng's Dashun army went, all the local Ming troops were retreating steadily.Some with a little bit of kindness will collapse at the touch of a touch, and those without a little bit of kindness will simply run away, without even seeing the enemy's face.

Therefore, the time it took for the Dashun Army to take in prisoners along the way was far longer than the time it took for them to conquer the city.In many cases, the Dashun army's dark head would stop at the bottom of the city without fighting, and a white flag would be erected on the city in a while.

Rather than saying that these cities were conquered, it would be better to say that they were frightened.

The little emperor of Ming Dynasty in the capital kept dispatching troops and generals. In fact, it is not quite accurate to say that.Because with the fall of a large area of ​​land, there are not many soldiers that Daming can transfer, and there are not many generals that can be dispatched.The emperor's imperial edicts are constantly issued, but most of them have no effect.

Often before the edict arrives, the destination has already become the territory of the Dashun Army.Or as soon as the edict arrived, the soldiers and generals to be dispatched surrendered to the Dashun Army.

So the emperor jumped around the capital in a hurry, couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, and the most thing he did every day was to ask the Minister of the Ministry of War to look at the map of the whole country to see where there were still places and soldiers who could be mobilized in the future.

It was okay at the beginning, and the time for issuing the edict to dispatch troops was still at the same speed as the city fell.But later on, the speed of the city's fall was far greater than the total time of the court, and finally the court found that there were basically no soldiers to adjust.

And even if there are soldiers to lose, the imperial court can't afford to pay for the transfer of troops.Like the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, who is in charge of money and food, also loses a lot of worrying hair every day. When he is attacking the court every day, when the emperor asks about the family background of the court, he silently plucks his beard.

The three-foot beard that was originally famous in the court is now ragged by him, as if it has been chewed by a rabbit.

Emperor Ji Siyuan was also a worried horse, and he had no other ideas except to discuss with the cabinet and the six ministers every day.

He is only in his 20s at a young age. In the past few months, he has a lot of gray hair on his temples, and he looks as vicissitudes as he is in his 40s and [-]s.

At this time, he suddenly thought of Yuan Chonghuan, and Yuan Chonghuan who was cut into pieces by him for three whole days before he died.

He began to wonder if he shouldn't have killed Yuan Chonghuan.In other words, Yuan Chonghuan shouldn't have been killed so early, why not let him commit crimes and meritorious deeds?
The emperor was young, he hadn't learned any emperor's mind, and all emotions were on his face.Several wily ministers saw that something was wrong with the emperor, but no one dared to say anything.

These old guys who have been officials for decades have all become human spirits, and no one will take the initiative to touch that bad head.When everyone thought of the scene of Yuan Chonghuan's tragic death that day, everyone's spine felt cold, and they all had the most intuitive feeling of the little emperor's cruelty.

In the end, the court meeting convened by the emperor turned into a scene where the emperor complained and scolded his mother at the top, and the ministers below all listened like an old monk but just kept quiet.

What did you tell everyone to say? In the minds of many people, Daming has already been sentenced to death.It's just that Naihe didn't dare to say this, for fear that if he showed any sign of it, he would follow in Yuan Chonghuan's footsteps.But the emperor wanted to ask again, and the ministers who had no idea could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

When the emperor got angry, he immediately knelt down collectively, as if the ministers were terrified and damned, which made the emperor feel evil, but there was nothing he could do.

He can't push these people out to kill, then even if he wants to swear, he won't be able to find anyone.

Seeing Li Zicheng's Dashun army attacking from two directions, the distance to the capital was getting closer and closer, and the number of times the emperor got angry and scolded his mother also skyrocketed.

On this day, Ting Yi read the urgent military news sent by the cabinet, and it was all bad news, news that a certain city in a certain place had once again fallen to the head of the bandit.

The emperor glanced at it, and was in no mood to continue watching. He threw it on the floor angrily, and all the precious Persian carpets scattered on the ground in the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace were memorials.

The emperor's angry voice roared inside and outside the Qianqing Palace: "Waste, waste, a bunch of waste! I have two capitals and thirteen provinces in the Ming Dynasty. I don't have a single soldier to adjust, and I don't have a general to use! A flock of pigs, a flock of sheep, wouldn't they be so useless and incompetent? There is no one who can share my worries with all the civil and military men and women in the court, and they deserve to be killed, everyone should be killed..."

"I can see clearly what each of you are thinking. You all say that you are loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and you shout long live every day, but you all want Li Ni to break through the capital and my imperial city as soon as possible. At worst, you can take off your official robes and turn around to join Li Ni. Then you will still be a high-ranking official. But what about me? Hmph, you all want me to be the king of subjugation? Well, I will tell you today, that is what I want As the king of subjugation, before I die, I will drag you to be buried with me, and to be buried with Daming Jiangshan!"

"Do you dare to take out your heart, liver, intestines and lungs to dry, and take a look, to see if it has turned black, to see if there is still the Great Ming Emperor in your heart, and whether there is this Great Ming Dynasty? Do you dare? ?

Don't talk?I know you dare not, because your heart, liver, intestines and lungs are already rotten and black!

I put my words here, you want me to be the king of the subjugated country, and I want you to be the ministers of the subjugated country, I will do what I say..."

Emperor Ji Siyuan's voice became a little shrill and out of tune because of anger and excitement. The people in the entire East Nuan Pavilion kneeling on the ground were all kneeling on the ground, with their heads bowed, and no one spoke.

The atmosphere was oppressive and silent to the extreme.No one dared to offend the angry emperor at this time.

Although the emperor already looked a bit like Shi Lezhi at this time, what he said didn't sound like what an emperor should say, but what a scoundrel who planned to gamble his life with others said.

Time passed bit by bit, and the hands of the Western chiming clock placed in the East Nuan Pavilion clicked and moved forward bit by bit, and finally reached the full hour.

According to Western calculations, it is already nine o'clock in the evening.

The following ministers have been scolded by the emperor since lunch, and all of them are hungry. Many of them are old and weak, and their hands and feet kneeling on the ground began to tremble.

But at this time, no one dared to speak, not even the slightest sound.

"Dangdangdang..." The western clock rang nine times in a row.

The sound of the bell attracted the emperor's attention. At this time, the emperor was also tired of cursing. He walked slowly to the imperial couch and sat down. He didn't speak, but just leaned on the cushion without saying a word.

All the ministers kneeling below also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, but they still didn't dare to act rashly.

At this time, a voice that became shrill and piercing because of excitement suddenly came from the door: "Your Majesty, great victory in Liaodong, great victory in Liaodong..."

Following a series of voices, a figure dressed as a crimson eunuch staggered into the East Nuan Pavilion, holding a big brocade box in his hand, and there was a memorandum on it.

Everyone was attracted by this man's voice, and they all turned their heads to look, even the emperor was no exception.

This person is Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch in charge of the chief inspector of ceremonies.

　There are also updates.
