Chapter 216 Burning the Young Master
Chengdu Prefecture, Hanzhou City, and the remaining soldiers of the Daxi Army were stationed in this small city, ready to counterattack Chengdu and avenge Zhang Xianzhong's family.
Zhang Xianzhong's son was young. Before he went to war, he had a determination to die and appointed his heir to die after death as Zhang Kewang. The manchu was famous for his old opponent Li Zicheng was defeated by their hands. Zhang Xianzhong sent troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty with a sad and sad feeling. He was quite tragic. He was quite willing to die, especially when he left his hometown, Cheng ignored it and insisted on sending troops to Hanzhong.
Hanzhou City has five steps and one stop, and one sad soldiers are indignant, and they all have the will of death.
In the central army's tent, the nominal commander Zhang Kewang sat in the upper head. The prime minister of the Western West, Wang Zhaoling, talked with a arrogant face, said: "There are Qing soldiers in front and Ming soldiers in the back. We are stuck in this small place, where can we live?"
Zhang Dingguo stood up and said aloud: "What should we do according to the Prime Minister's wishes?"
"Recruitment!"
As soon as this statement came out, the people in the bill were making a lot of noise. The military discipline of the Daxi Army was not very strict, and the generals in the tent were making a fuss.
Zhang Kewang sneered: "Prime Minister Wang, before his father's body was cold, we were going to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. I was afraid that I would not have the face to see him after death."
Wang Zhaoling touched his chin and smiled, "Who said he wanted to surrender Ming? Now the general trend of the world is very clear. Qing replaced Ming and entered the Central Plains. We must attract the peace of the Qing Dynasty!"
"Your mother! You are so embarrassed that you don't want to resist the Qing Dynasty even if your father dies. Do you want to let the thief bets and let the grandpas surrender to the Qing Dynasty?"
Although Wang Zhaoling was a civil servant, he held the most army under his command, and Zhang Xianzhong's army queen supported him, so he always looked down on himself and looked down on these adopted sons who were born into a thief who followed Zhang Xianzhong from Shaanxi. When he saw Zhang Nengqi scolding him like this, he was furious: "What are you, dare to insult me?"
Zhang Nengqi's face turned red and purple. He stood up and was as tall as an iron tower. Relying on his youth and strength, he stepped forward and grabbed Wang Zhaoling to the same level as him, and scolded him angrily: "I am Yida, and I will take the life of you, the old dog today."
The generals stood up together, Zhang Kewang's eyes turned and shouted, "Don't hurt Prime Minister Wang's life, he has troops."
This sentence reminded Zhang Nengqi that if Wang Zhaoling was allowed to go out, how could he not take revenge on himself? He simply did nothing and kept lifting him over his head and threw him on his knees. With a click, blood spurted on the corner of his mouth. Zhang Nengqi couldn't live anymore and threw him into the fire.
Zhang Kewang took a step forward and confirmed that Wang Zhaoling could no longer survive. He sighed: "All of them are their own brothers, why bother with them?"
Wang Zhaoling's confidant, Yan Xi, the right prime minister of Daxi; Hu Mo, the Minister of Personnel, Wang Guoning, the Minister of Revenue, and Jiang Dingzhen, the Minister of Rites, all bowed down and turned against each other.
Zhang Kewang smiled and comforted him: "Justice just passed away, and Wang Zhaoling was about to surrender to the enemy. She was still laughing wildly in the army. It was obvious that she did not see her father. The fourth brother killed this thief with his hand, which was considered a place for everyone to come."
All the generals and civil and military ministers praised each other, but no one spoke for Wang Zhaoling anymore. At this time, there were enemies in front of him and behind him. No matter how much status a dead person had, he would be worthless if he died.
Right Prime Minister Yan Xi ordered his kneeling and said, "The country cannot be without a king for a day. The minister respectfully invites the Lord of the Zhu Kingdom to ascend the throne and become emperor."
Zhang Kewang was overjoyed and looked around. Several brothers, General Anxi, Zhang Dingguo, General Funan, Zhang Wenxiu, and General Dingbei, were all unhappy. Zhang Kewang felt cold and hurriedly refused: "The father and the queen are still here, and are pregnant and are about to give birth. Although the father has an edict, how dare I take the throne of his blood? Let's do this. When the queen gives birth to a dragon son, if it is a man, our family will protect him together. If it is a daughter, we will discuss it."
The generals' expressions slowed down and then agreed in unison.
Three days later, the daughter of Chen Yan, the former Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty Cabinet, was about to give birth to a child by Zhang Xianzhong.
All the soldiers and civil and military officials of the Daxi Army gathered outside the tent and waited nervously.
In the past three days, Zhang Kewang has completely absorbed and accepted Wang Zhaoling's power. Even if someone opposes him at this time, he will not be able to change his dominance.
In the big tent, Queen Chen was covered in sweat, and the woman in the army was delivering her baby on the side, making her moves familiar.
Finally, amid the expectations of everyone, a cherry blossom cry resounded throughout the tent.
Queen Chen asked without caring about the pain, "Is my son a man or a woman?"
The midwife looked at Ying'er in her arms without expression, and said coldly: "It's a daughter."
Queen Chen was discouraged. When she saw the woman's expression strange, she suddenly felt suspicious: "Show me, my son."
The woman sneered: "A girl is so prince."
Queen Chen was shocked. How could the old lady dare to talk to her like this? She had been instructed by others at regular intervals. After thinking about it carefully, she couldn't help but feel even more frightened and struggled to stand up.
The few mothers turned cold and wrapped the white cloth in their hands, dipped the bed sheet and pressed the queen's mouth and nose until she stopped struggling.
The midwife walked out of the tent and cried in tears: "The queen has died of dying childbirth!"
"Where is the posthumous son? Is he a man or a woman?"
"It's a girl."
Zhang Kewang lamented: "What a pity!"
The three princes looked different, and Zhang Nengqi was about to step forward and entered the tent to find out, but was grabbed by Zhang Wenxiu.
"The father's bloodline has been cut off, and we should help our elder brother ascend the throne together."
Zhang Wenxiu walked to the bonfire, picked up a torch, and said, "The father and the emperor have a hero for a lifetime, and they must not leave their young daughters to be captured." After that, he threw the torch at the queen's tent.
Zhang Dingguo clenched his fists, his face sinking like water. Finally, he walked to the bonfire and lit a torch and threw it at the tent.
Zhang Nengqi stomped his feet and followed closely behind. The fire became stronger and the baby's crying was no longer heard. In the fire, different expressions flashed on everyone's faces.
Zhang Kewang was relieved and said loudly: "We will return to our real name today, and we will be called brothers, and we will be like flesh and blood, and we will not betray each other!"
Liu Wenxiu immediately said, "Everyone listens to my elder brother."
Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi, who restored their real names, allied with others in Mianjiang, elected Sun Kewang as the king of the country and sent troops to Chengdu.
When the news reached Chengdu Prefecture, Ma Gan smiled and said, "Sun Kewang, Wang Zhaoling's dog bites the dog. This is a good time for us to wipe out all the evil forces and drive these Shaanxi thieves out of Sichuan and Sichuan."
Zeng Ying stood up and came to the hall, clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to lead the troops to annihilate the enemy outside Chengdu." Zeng Ying would charge forward every battle, be invincible, and also have outstanding appearance, beautiful beards and famous.
Ma Gan didn't take this remnant soldier seriously at all. He felt that they were defeated by the Qing soldiers first, and after another civil strife, they must have been greatly damaged. Hearing this, he said, "June Zeng Yan, go, I will arrange a celebration banquet for you in Chengdu!"
