Eighty-one, kill this dog thief
In troubled times, people's lives are as cheap as grass. After a large-scale war, the death toll is often tens of millions.
Although the ordinary people in Chengjiazhuang are innocent, they are like falling flowers that go with the flow, and can only be swept into the bottom of the sea by surging huge waves.
Lin Yu doesn't want to be a Virgin, and he bears all the pressure on himself. He is not God or Buddha, and cannot save everyone. He can only do his best while ensuring his own interests and safety.
Lin Yu could only recite in his heart the innocent villagers massacred by the Dashun Army, hoping that you will not be reborn in troubled times in the next life.
Queen Gao, who had just recovered, scolded Li Guo and Gao Yigong and accused them of killing innocent people indiscriminately, but that was all.
Emperor Dashun, who once had millions of troops, and King Li Chuang, who once captured Beijing and forced Chongzhen to hang himself on Coal Mountain, died in a daze under the hoe of the mountain villager. He was a very shameful and humiliating to the current Dashun army soldiers. How could he vent his hatred if he didn't slaughter Chengjiazhuang?
Above the mourning hall, the candles are brilliant.
The generals heatedly discussed what to do next. As a guest, Lin Yu was not convenient to participate, so he asked someone to bring a chair to sleep in front of a tent diagonally opposite the handsome tent, but his eyes were always on the handsome tent.
Lin Yu pretended to pass by the Shuai Cun and heard Niu Jinxing mutter: "We'll just go to the big liquidation, only in this way can we have a way out!"
Fortunately, Li Zicheng's generals had a backbone than the officials of the Ming Dynasty and would rather die in battle than surrender to the Tartars, so they all scoffed at Niu Jinxing's proposal.
"I believe that Niu Jinxing will definitely escape at night and join the Qing army."
Lin Yu found Li Cuo and asked him to help him take the people outside the camp to ambush. As long as Niu Jinxing dared to run away, he would be caught back.
With the achievements of offering the golden star, I can naturally participate in the next decision of the Dashun Army and propose that they seek to join Lin Zhenjiang, the governor of Fengyang of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Cuo was so angry that he gritted his teeth and patted his chest and said, "Since Niu Jinxing entered Beijing, he has deceived my uncle and killed the military advisor Li Yan. General Liu Zongmin was so angry that he led his army away, which greatly damaged my Dashun's vitality. I had long wished I could kill this treacherous thief, but unfortunately there was no chance. This guy dared to escape, and I would definitely kill him!"
Li Cuo immediately gathered a hundred confidants out of the camp in the dark and ambushed on the road leading to various places.
The generals in the tent, both a mourning hall and a handsome tent, were quarreling around Li Zicheng's coffin, chatting endlessly, and unable to make up their minds.
Li Guo and Liu Tichun suggested supporting Li Zicheng's third brother Li Zijing to inherit the Dashun Emperor and conferred Liu Zongmin as king, asking him to lead his troops to Tongcheng to meet with the main army, and then retreat to Hunan and Guangxi to continue to fight against the Qing Dynasty.
Tian Jianxiu, Liu Fangliang and others suggested going west to Sichuan to join Zhang Xianzhong, and disbanding the Dashun regime, supporting Zhang Xianzhong as the Emperor of Daxi.
Gao Yigong, Hao Yaoqi, Yuan Zongdi and others suggested to defect to the Nanming Dynasty, write a letter to the Nanjing court to plead guilty, and join forces with the Ming army to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu questioned repeatedly, "We forced Zhu Youjian to death, and you still expect the Nanjing court to pardon us?"
Niu Jinxing suggested to join the Qing army directly: "Zhu Ming's energy has been exhausted, and Zhang Xianzhong is just a bandit, which is worse than me. Only by joining the Qing court can you have a way out."
Li Guo drew his sword and angrily rebuked: "As descendants of Yanhuang, descendants of China, and a country of etiquette, how can we bow our heads to the Tartars? I would rather die than shave my head! Who dares to surrender to the Qing Dynasty again, and behead them without mercy!"
Gao Yigong also angrily rebuked: "A real man will die if he dies. How can he bow down to Jiannu and be a slave?"
"I know... I know that once Your Majesty dies, no one will take me, the Prime Minister, seriously."
Niu Jinxing looked resentful, "I have no power to tie a chicken. I am too sad because of Your Majesty's death. All the generals will do it! I will go back to the account to rest. You said that you can go on that road, who will not have the power to do military power!"
Because Niu Jinxing gave slander and killed Li Yan and forced Liu Zongmin away, the generals of Dashun had long disliked him.
However, Li Zicheng favored him very much when he was alive, and everyone could do nothing to treat him as Prime Minister Dashun. Now that Li Zicheng is dead, who still treats him as a scattered person? He doesn't want to leave, no one will pay attention to it!
Seeing Niu Jinxing come out of the handsome tent in advance, Lin Yu was secretly happy. As expected, the thief was ready to leave. He just needed to keep an eye on him from a distance and there would be a good show later.
Niu Jinxing quietly returned to his tent and changed into an ordinary soldier's outfit, led the horse and carried a package and hurried to the north gate of the camp. He lied that he had gone out of the camp and pretended to open the village gate and got on the horse and left.
After walking for only two or three miles, he was knocked down by a tripped horsesho. Dozens of Dashun soldiers rushed out from both sides of the road. The leader was Li Cuo, who was carrying a ghost-headed sword in his hand.
He stepped forward and grabbed Niu Jinxing's hair. He slapped Niu Jinxing's face and turned dizzy, with Venus looking at him, "Dog thief, your majesty is not buried yet, are you in a hurry to join the Tartars?"
Niu Jinxing recovered and recognized that the person in front of him was Li Zicheng's nephew Li Cuo, and argued: "Person Li, you can't wrongly accuse a good person. I, I, I am planning to inform Liu Zongmin of his death and let him attend His Majesty's funeral."
Li Chou raised his sword and wanted to kill him: "Dog thief dare to argue? General Liu Zongmin wished he could chop off your dog's head. Do you dare to see him? Your Majesty's body was not cold, and you were eager to surrender to the enemy and treason. What's the use of unfaithful and unrighteous people like you to keep you?"
"Brother Li, wait!"
Lin Yu, who had just caught up, hurriedly stopped him, "Niu Jinxing is the Prime Minister of Dashun at least. It is not appropriate for you to commit suicide without permission. It is better to escort him back to the camp and leave it to Empress Gao and the generals to deal with it."
When Li Cuo thought about it, he felt that Lin Yu's words were reasonable, so he ordered his subordinates to tie Niu Jinxing up and then escorted Lin Yu into the coach's tent.
"Second brother, why did you tie up the Prime Minister?"
As Li Zicheng's nephew, the power-based general Li Guo has become the leader of all the generals, asking the angry Li Cuo with a look of surprise.
Li Cuo kicked Niu Jinxing to the ground and said angrily: "Before my uncle's body was cold, this dog thief secretly went out of the camp to join the Tartars. If he didn't kill him, it would not be enough to comfort my uncle's spirit in heaven!"
"It's really outrageous. Your Majesty obeys the dog thief's words. Your Majesty is lying in the coffin before his bones are cold. He actually defected to Jiannu and beat the dog thief to death!"
All the generals were dissatisfied with Niu Jinxing. After hearing Li Chou's words, they were all indignant and beaten Niu Jinxing to a bruised face and swollen head, as big as a bucket, like a pig's head.
Niu Jinxing knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, trembling with his swollen lips, saying, "Everyone... colleagues, Niu... is wronged, I... I'm not going to join the Tartars... I'm going to Tongcheng to find General Liu Zongmin to inform him... The news of His Majesty's death, and let him come to the army to pay his condolences..."
Li Guo kicked Niu Jinxing with a kick and said, "It's nonsense. General Liu Zongmin wishes to eat your meat and drink your blood. Do you dare to see him?"
Niu Jinxing argued: "For Your Majesty, I Niu Jinxing... have made my promise. After all, Your Majesty... has been favored to Liu Zongmin. Your Majesty is dead... I don't believe Liu Zongmin and still think of personal grudges?"
