Chapter 673 Persecution

Among the people, Huang Shoucai has almost been deified by the foolish people. Moreover, Huang Shoucai has devoted himself to water control throughout his life. Now that he is contrary to his own way, how can he surrender?

In history, Li Zicheng ordered people to dig open the Yellow River embankment. On the fifteenth day, the flood rushed to the city of Kaifeng, but the flood flooded into other areas. Not only did it not enter Kaifeng, but it rushed towards Li Zicheng's army, and they fled to "flee far away". Li Zicheng was furious to kill King Huang, and King Huang finally surrendered in the face of the threat of death.

The next day, on September 16th, King Huang asked the Yellow River water to rush to Kaifeng according to Li Zicheng's request. Kaifeng defenders hugged the soil and blocked the door. However, "the water entered through the gap and could not be blocked." "On that day, the south gate first broke, and the north gate opened. At night, Caomen and the east gate disappeared one after another. The sound of water sounded like tens of thousands of bells ringing together." At dawn on September 17th, Kaifeng "whole city of rivers and han", with only bells and drum towers and other heights.

Kaifeng was robbed this time, with only 300,000 people living in the city, only more than 27,000 people living. According to historical records, even the people who were alive back then were all "bone and sliver". Moreover, the flood did not retreat for a long time. After more than three years, what Henan Governor Ning Chengxun saw in his eyes was "half of the city walls were flooded in sand and water." It was not until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty that Zhang Zide, then the governor of Henan, and Xu Huacheng, began to rebuild Kaifeng City.

It can be seen how tragic the suffering Li Zicheng caused to the people by digging Kaifeng City.

Huang Shoucai was proficient in water control, so he naturally knew the consequences of breaking the Yellow River. His lifelong reputation would be left to the point.

However, Li Zicheng was not worried. He even looked at Huang Shoucai with some happiness: "There are so many martyrs who have seen from Gu. Not to mention anything else, there are countless imperial officers and soldiers killed under Gu's hands. Among them, there are many officials who are tougher than you, and there are generals. But, Gu will kill them cleanly. King Huang, you can think clearly."

Huang Shoucai said proudly: "I have lived for decades and are very old. The King of Chuang wants the life of a villain, just take it away."

Li Zicheng laughed again: "Okay, it's really courageous. The one who Gu admires the most is someone like you. However, if you don't agree to Gu's conditions, Gu will not only kill you, but also kill your whole family without leaving any other. How about it, you can consider it clearly."

Li Zicheng was really cruel and threatened Huang Shoucai's family. Huang Shoucai was shocked and angry: "This matter has nothing to do with my family. If you have anything to do, come to me! You are despicable!"

Before, he was afraid of Li Zicheng's prestige, so he called him the King of Chuang. Now, facing Li Zicheng's viciousness, Huang Shoucai scolded him for the thief.

However, Li Zicheng didn't care anymore. He sneered: "Despicable? Gu has always been open and honest. The court is unrighteous and Gu wants to conquer a big country. If he doesn't dig the Yellow River, how many people will die of the soldiers of the Gu have been killed. These people have been all the people! You want to be noble, okay. Huang Shoucai, Gu really tells you. If you don't dig the Yellow River, I will not only kill your whole family, but also within a radius of a hundred miles outside Kaifeng City. All of this is caused by you!"

Huang Shoucai was shocked. He knew that Li Zicheng could do it. If he did not cooperate with him to dig the Yellow River, these innocent people around him would definitely be slaughtered. There are countless cities that Li Zicheng slaughtered.

This kind of bandit can say that it can be done, and the whole family and the whole family are in the hands of each other. If you don’t follow, you will be unlucky.

However, let him watch and help Li Zicheng dig open the Yellow River and watch the innocent people in Kaifeng City be flooded. How could he get through his conscience?

Why did Li Zicheng have to look for him? Because digging the Yellow River is a technical job. If you are not careful, you will be backfired. Or, the place you dug is wrong and the impact on Kaifeng City is limited.

Wang Deren, who was beside Li Zicheng, advised: "King Huang, if you listen to the words of King Chuang, we will not only ensure the safety of your whole family, but also will not touch the tens of millions of people around Kaifeng City. You can choose whether to dig or not."

At this time, Huang Shoucai had the final say. He smiled bitterly and said dejectedly: "Okay, I can help you."

Li Zicheng was very satisfied. He was very good at dealing with people like Huang Shoucai. If you are a tough guy, you will threaten the people and your family. If you are a cartilage, that's even simpler.

Wang Deren's 100,000 troops rushed Huang Shoucai to the Yellow River outside Kaifeng City to find the best excavation site. Huang Shoucai was forced to choose a site along the Yellow River. He chose the most suitable place to lure the Yellow River water back into Kaifeng City.

Weihui Mansion, Huaiqing Mansion, and Zhu Cixuan's army.

The heavy rainstorms in recent days made the 12th Regiment Battalion only temporarily suspend the southward journey. The Gangyong Battalion Governor Fan Yun, the Gangyong Battalion Governor Hong Zhou, the Gangyong Battalion Governor Huang Sanli, the Gangyong Battalion Governor Shui Tianyu, the Gangyong Battalion of Yangwei Wang Yuwei, and the Gangyong Battalion of Zhenwei Kong Xiangxin. In addition to the Huben Camp and the 12th Regiment Battalion of the East Palace have arrived at Weihui Mansion and Huaiqing Mansion one after another.

Facing the heavy rain, Zhu Cilang looked at the gloomy sky and frowned.

Now, the generals around him have emerged in many talents. Especially Song Xiance, who is highly valued by Zhu Cilang. He and Li Yan can be said to be the current lie-off dragon and phoenix chicks.

Looking at the gloomy sky, Song Xiance expressed his concern: "Your Highness, the rain is endless, if the thief digs open the Yellow River, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Zhu Ciyang was shocked: "Song Xiance, do you think so too?"

Song Xiance nodded: "If I were Li Zicheng, I would definitely take this opportunity to dig the Yellow River and flood Kaifeng City."

"Then, what should I do? Should I send troops to Kaifeng?" Zhu Cixuan asked anxiously.

Faced with such natural disasters, Song Xiance was helpless. He shook his head and sighed: "The road is muddy, and the army cannot march at all. Besides, our marching speed is probably not enough to reach Kaifeng City, and Li Zicheng still digs the Yellow River."

Zhu Cixuan had read history books, but he looked at the sky helplessly: "On September 14th, Li Zicheng dug up the Yellow River embankment."

Now, it was Song Xiance's turn to be shocked: "Your Highness, how do you know that the thief was dug up the Yellow River on September 14th."

Of course, Zhu Cixuan did not tell him that this was recorded in history. He just said lightly: "I look at the celestial phenomena at night and calculate that this thief must dig the Yellow River on September 14th and pour back into Kaifeng City."

Song Xiance admired Zhuge Liang among the Three Kingdoms. Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms to observe the celestial phenomena at night, which can be said to be superb. He himself was also keen on observing the celestial phenomena. In fact, he had predicted heavy rain a few days ago.

However, Song Xiance was not capable and predicted when Li Zicheng would dig the Yellow River. The prince's prince actually calculated the time accurately, and it was definitely not like nonsense. Song Xiance was even more surprised.
