Chapter 44 Revenge
Due to the rush of time, there are still many corpses near the city gate that have not been cleaned up in time, but this does not affect Ying Zheng's observation of the city in the slightest.

For Ying Zheng, these corpses are the best proof of his military achievements.

Walking through the city gate, Meng Tian had already arranged people on both sides of the road to welcome Ying Zheng, seeing Ying Zheng approaching, Meng Tian immediately saluted,

"Meet Your Majesty."

As soon as Meng Tian's voice fell, the soldiers on both sides immediately shouted in unison,

"The Great Qin is mighty, the Great Qin is invincible!"

Seeing this posture, Ying Zheng was quite satisfied, smiled and raised his hand, and then pressed down, all the voices at the city gate immediately disappeared, and the refugees next to him frightened immediately held their breath, for fear of the sound of their own breathing Attract the other party's attention, and then kill yourself.

"You did a good job this time, Meng Tian, ​​but did you catch Li Zicheng?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Li Zicheng has been captured, and all the money he plundered has been intercepted by us. Unfortunately, his military adviser Niu Jinxing was killed by mistake during the resistance, and Liu Zongmin escaped. Please come down." crime."

Speaking of these, Meng Tian really felt a little ashamed. Facing a group of refugees, he couldn't complete the task perfectly.

"Get up, these are irrelevant, we will keep the intercepted money, and Li Zicheng will leave it to Brother Zhu to solve it, how about it?"

Ying Zheng said the latter sentence to Zhu Youjian. Although he said that this was a condition that had been negotiated, he still wanted to see Zhu Youjian's attitude.

"No problem, we have already agreed on these things, and I would like to thank Brother Ying for his help."

Zhu Youjian also knew how much money there was, so he naturally felt distressed for him who was used to being poor, but he could still be clear about such a big choice of right and wrong.

"Okay, brother Zhu, let's go, let's go, let's go meet your enemy now."

Arriving at the Daming Palace and looking at this familiar place, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but slow down.

All his life in the first half of his life was basically spent here. His parents, family, glory, including shame, were also accompanied and staged here one by one. But some time ago, he was kicked out from here , and even forced himself to commit suicide. Now, he is back, with hatred.

After walking for a while, a group of people stepped through Tianmen, Duanmen, Tianmen, which was later known as Tiananmen, and came to the real gate of the imperial palace, in front of Meridian Gate. The square here was already full of people kneeling, yes, not only Only Li Zicheng, Meng Tian arrested all the ministers of the Ming Dynasty in the capital, and waited for Zhu Youjian to identify them one by one.

Among these people, there are good ministers, bad traitors and rebels, and they are all kneeling here at this moment, because they don't know which side the soldiers who arrested them are from, so everyone keeps quiet, and Cao Huachun, who knows a little bit about the inside story , already shivering under the scorching sun.

Although it is not clear who arrested the people, the group of people still divided into two groups and knelt together. The one on the right naturally thought that he was doomed, while the one on the left thought that he was a loyal minister and could not kneel with them. Otherwise, wouldn't it be dirty yourself.

Seeing Zhu Youjian and Wang Chengen appear, the crowd immediately boiled up. Those who were kneeling on the right were naturally all limp on the ground. Many people were pouring out feces and urine, and the smell exploded in an instant, while those on the right were naturally singing praises , What my Ming Dynasty is ten thousand years old, my Ming Dynasty's revival is expected and so on.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Youjian was sneering. Having been with this group of people for so many years, he had already expected this scene, but what made him curious was that it was the people who were the leaders on both sides.

The ones on the right are Li Zicheng, Cao Huachun, Zhang Jinliao and others. The latter two are a surprise to Zhu Youjian, while the one on the left is actually his father-in-law, Zhou Kui.

"Your Majesty, you are finally back. You have to be the master for us. During your absence, these rebels have been stirring up troubles in the capital, making life difficult for the people in the capital. They even robbed us of all our money. Your Majesty, you must be the master for us!"

Sure enough, looking at his crying father-in-law, what he was thinking about until now was still his money.

Ignoring his father-in-law's crying, Zhu Youjian walked up to Li Zicheng, kicked him over, and put his head under his feet to observe carefully.

"Tsk tsk, this is the first time I have looked at you carefully. You have ruined my Ming Dynasty, right? If it wasn't for my good luck, maybe you have already succeeded."

Li Zicheng didn't struggle, nor did he cry loudly to Zhu Youjian for mercy. He knew that the enmity between himself and Zhu Youjian was impossible to resolve, and he knew he was going to die, so why bother struggling?

Without seeing the expression he wanted to see, Zhu Youjian always felt that something was missing in his heart, so he stood up and shouted to the group of people on the left,
"Is there anyone from Jinyiwei, get the hell out of here."

As soon as Zhu Youjian finished speaking, several people rushed over immediately. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was the time when Zhu Youjian needed to wait for others, and it was the best time to make meritorious deeds.

"Are there any Fusi in Beizhen among you?"

The seven or eight people who ran out looked at each other, and the two answered Zhu Youjian's words,

"Your Majesty, the villain Niu Da is a member of the Fusi family in Beizhen."

"Back to the emperor, my humble minister Fang Ping is a thousand households of Beizhen Fusi."

"Well, I have entrusted you with a task. Take Li Zicheng down and let him taste the methods of your Beizhen Fusi, but you can't kill him. I will go to see him tomorrow and hope to get a satisfactory result."

"Yes, please don't worry, the emperor, the two ministers will definitely do it to the emperor's satisfaction."

"Okay, there is another task, that is, in the next few days, regardless of your previous positions, you will rebuild Jinyiwei for me now. If you can form a hundred households, you will be a hundred households. If you form a thousand households, you It is Qianhu, if you form Jinyiwei, then you will be the new commander of Jinyiwei, understand?"

"The minister is waiting to accept the order."

The eight people glanced at each other, and they could all see excitement and hostility in each other's eyes. This is an opportunity to reach the sky in one step, and whoever grabs it will have it.

"Okay, take it down, take Cao Huachun and Zhang Jinliao down too."

Since this group of people are all expressionless, Zhu Youjian doesn't want to talk to them anymore, so he might as well wait until tomorrow to talk, and then see if everyone is convinced.

After they were taken down, Zhu Youjian took a look at the remaining dozens of people and saw no familiar faces, so he turned back and said to Ying Zheng:
"Brother Ying, lend me a thousand people."

"Yes, the people here can be transferred as you like."

Anyway, there is nothing to use soldiers now, and Ying Zheng was happy to watch a good show, and handed over the command of all Daqin soldiers in the imperial city to Zhu Youjian.

"Come here, drag all these people to the West Market and chop them all up."

Xishi is considered a place with a large number of people in the capital, and Zhu Youjian wants to kill all these people to show his majesty to everyone.

The Daqin soldiers next to him didn't hesitate at all, and immediately came over to pull people away. When they encountered people who were struggling and didn't want to leave, they went down with a stick and broke their bones, dragging them away like a dead dog.

After dealing with this side, Zhu Youjian looked to the left again. The people who were making noise just now were all suppressed by Zhu Youjian's iron and blood methods, and none of them dared to continue talking.

Zhu Youjian walked to his father-in-law, knelt down and looked at him, and couldn't help but think of Queen Zhou who was killed by himself, and felt even more sad.

"Guo Zhang, I didn't hear what you said when I came here just now, I wonder if you can continue to say it?"
