After the fall of Taiping, news came that Hua Yun had been captured.

Although the final outcome is not yet known, some people are already prepared for the worst.

Gao, a woman who had always been hopeful when the bad news came, looked at the still young and unknown child in her hands and sighed in her heart. Before her husband left, he had already made preparations to die in the city, and the vicissitudes of his voice still echoed in his ears.

When the city fell, it was the day when the yin and the yang separated between you and me.

As a husband, I feel sorry for you;

As a father, I feel sorry for my son;

But as a defender, I will do my best;

As a general, I will be worthy of the Lord.

From the moment you married me, your fate and mine were destined.

You and I have no chance to see each other again in this life. In the next life, we will be treated as cows and horses to repay you.

As the screams outside the city became more intense, Mrs. Gao seemed to already know the outcome of today.

Recalling all the events and the increasingly fierce shouts outside the city, Mrs. Gao, who was already mentally prepared, took her three-year-old child, who was still a young boy, to worship in the family temple respectively, and cried to her servants.

The idea that I have buried in my heart for a long time: The city has been captured, my husband will definitely die in this battle, and as his wife, I can never live alone in the world for the sake of women's morality.

If I didn't have this child by my side, I should have gone with Huayun the moment he was captured. But as the daughter-in-law of the Hua family, I will never let the Hua family be cut off from my hands, so I beg you to raise him well.

As his son, he can continue the fragrance of the Hua family in his own body.

In such a moment of life and death, where there is such a big deal of right and wrong, it stands to reason that a servant should have given advice, but when a person regards death as home, any advice will have no effect.

So the servant accepted her request.

After truly solving her son's problem and taking care of all the funeral arrangements, Ms. Gao, as a woman, no longer has any worries.

After the news of Hua Yun's capture came out, he resolutely threw himself into the water and died.

Although you and I, husband and wife, are not born in the same year, the same month and the same day, we will definitely die in the same year, the same month and the same day.

This is the last big thing I will do for your Hua family as your daughter-in-law.

A generation of martyrs passed away.

…

the other side.

After losing their main generals one after another, the Taiping defenders, who had lost their backbone and were like dead fish and shrimps, were no longer able to resist Chen Youliang's fierce offensive. From the moment Chen Youliang stepped on the city wall, the already dilapidated Taiping

The defenders declared defeat.

The bad news soon spread to the rear base areas.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in Jinling at the moment, had no time to care about the life and death of his old friend Hua Yun, because the first problem before him was that the Taiping Mansion had been breached, and there was no longer a protective barrier in front of Jinling behind it.

Now Jinling is like a piece of meat whose pants have been stripped and leaked. If the other party takes action, he will be doomed.

At this time, as the commander-in-chief, Zhu Yuanzhang really hated Chang Yuchun so much that his teeth itched with hatred.

You are a beast, you are an animal that looks like a blind bear, you are a scumbag who has little success but only failure.

It was a pleasure for you to kill those shrimp soldiers and crab generals, but do you know how much trouble you caused for me?

This time you really invited the wolf.

You'd better pray that that bastard named Chen Youliang comes over as soon as possible and doesn't give me enough time to deal with you bastard. Otherwise, I will operate on you first and let you get there first.

Journey to the Palace of Hell.

Faced with the current predicament, which can be said to have no way forward or retreat, and no way to seek help, Zhu Yuanzhang was itching with hatred, but he had no choice but to do anything.

The current situation is that the matter has already happened, and whoever wants to deal with it will have to wait until autumn to settle the accounts together.

The most important thing at the moment is to find an effective way to resolve the immediate urgency.

When such a crisis occurred, Zhu Yuanzhang wisely summoned everyone to discuss a specific solution. However, after he actually summoned a group of advisers under his command, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still lucky, felt cold when he saw everyone's expressions and actions.

half.

Looking at the group of ministers who usually had some opinions, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still full of fighting spirit, gave up completely.

In the face of this dilemma, two completely different voices first emerged.

One voice advocated surrender. When Chen Youliang's troops pressed the enemy, they took the lead in surrendering their weapons to show their sincerity.

Another group of people advocated retreat and retreated to Zijin Mountain for safety.

But no matter what kind of voice, they all hold a common belief, that is, stay away from Yingtian, a place of right and wrong, and stay away from this strategic base that has been conquered with great difficulty and has begun to gradually stabilize.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked with disappointment at this group of counselors who were usually benevolent, righteous, moral, and upright.

The six-toed high-spirited man was now in a state of despair, like a prawn that had been peeled off due to cramps. The crowd sighed in their hearts.

With this group of people here, what big deal can we talk about?

With this group of people around, nothing much can be accomplished.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting in the nave, believed that most of the ministers who had rolled up their sleeves, made a fuss, cursed, swore, choked their throats, and were ready to have a big fight in the nave.

The baggage has been packed and the mother-in-law has notified her children and has driven the carriage and horses. If the wind is not right, she will immediately whip up her whip and start fleeing.

In their eyes, Yingtian is now a city of death.

In the face of life and death, the most important thing is to save your life.

All other bosses, ideals, and achievements are all nonsense.

As for what will happen to this boss in the end, it has nothing to do with me. Anyway, in this bastard's market, it's hard to find a wife, but it's easy to find a boss.

If you can't do it, just change jobs. Anyway, in this world, if you have milk, you will be a mother.

In this predicament, Zhu Yuanzhang was really at his wits' end.

When he had been having a headache about Chen Youliang, the Yakuza who he didn't dare to provoke but came uninvited, Zhu Yuanzhang, who couldn't find a solution after fighting and fighting, looked at Liu who had been silent all the time.

base.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang found that Liu Ji, who had always been regarded as the capital of civil servants by everyone, was silent, but his face was surprisingly calm.

Looking at Liu Ji, who was sitting aside and showing no signs of panic at the impending disaster, Zhu Yuanzhang began to curse in his heart.

Liu Ji, you idiot, what are you holding back?

You're a bastard who's not afraid of big things, but just plays dumb and pretends to be dumbfounded.

Sir, I paid a high price to invite you here not to be a nice guy, let alone to watch people scolding and fighting.

The current structure seems to be a complete waste to you. If you have any great ideas, don’t hide them. Hurry up and show them to me.

Father, like son.

Regarding the issue of Chen Youliang, a thug, he has already gotten into trouble.

Adhering to the ideological principle that if it can be used, why not use it? Zhu Yuanzhang's concave and convex cheeks are completely out of proportion. A bright smile that can shine like stars blooms on Zhu Yuanzhang's cheeks, and he can only laugh out loud.

He asked in a low voice: Sir, there is Zhang Shicheng on the left who is constantly harassing, Chen Youliang's soldiers on the right are pressing the border, and there is a Yuan Dynasty in the north watching with eagerness, and I am now in a situation where I am unable to move between them.

, Sir, what should we do in the future given our current situation?

At this time, Liu Ji, who could no longer bear the loneliness in his heart and had already expressed his ideological principle of breaking the old and establishing the new, was waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to ask him. Liu Ji finally caught this opportunity and spoke.

He was just waiting for this opportunity.

Facing the noisy and chaotic ministers who were already in disarray, Liu Ji, who had always considered himself a scholar and never stepped out of line with his pleasant appearance, completely changed his appearance at this moment.

His solemn expression was cold and indifferent, and he scanned the ministers with eyes that were almost contemptuous. His cold and intense voice shook the eardrums and stimulated the soul.

Those who surrender and run should be killed!

Those who advocate surrender and those who advocate escape should all be killed.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.

They had never seen this normally cheerful scholar look like this.

He is also a scholar, and he has a scholarly character that refuses to obey anyone. From the moment Liu Ji, the first scholar, arrived, he looked down on this nerd. They have been secretly competing with each other, and everyone is always thinking about what to do.

At a certain moment, he suppressed and suppressed this arrogant bastard Ya San, but Liu Ji seemed to turn a blind eye to this situation, and rarely expressed his opinions in his pleasant manner.

Over time, everyone naturally ignored him.

You also have two shoulders to carry one head, and your forehead is not small compared to other people's.

As a revolutionary comrade who also works for the same boss, eats a mouthful of rice and drinks a bowl of porridge, why should your status be higher than ours?

You pee high, and I pee low too.

But at this time, the originally noisy and almost collapsed hall suddenly became quiet. The literati had a noble and pretentious ideological character. They originally looked down upon Liu Ji, who was praised by everyone as the chief auxiliary of the literati.

Regarding the incident of Chen Youliang's army approaching the border, I always thought that you were so frightened that you peed your pants and were frightened out of your wits and kept silent for a long time. But at this time, I never expected that you would suddenly say something shocking.

thunder.

This 180-degree turn was indeed a bit too fast and too violent. It shocked those of us who were rushing to surrender.
