Li Shuangxi chuckled and said: "Prince Fu's palace has a lot of money and a mountain of food. But Prince Fu is unwilling to pay a penny to reward the officers and soldiers guarding the city. With such a look, who has a little heart and soul will do things for him?"
"We got the news from the inner court in the city that King Fu was so stingy. It was exactly the same as what Qi Weng had said before. The leader felt that since the morale of the defenders was so low, there was no need to wait for other troops to arrive at Luoyang City.
, and then attacked the city. We immediately fired cannons to bombard the city. King Fu was frightened by this, so he hurriedly collected a sum of money to reward the defenders."
Hao Yaoqi was full of imagination about Prince Fu, who had hundreds of millions of dollars and was extremely wealthy. He became curious and asked closely: "Prince Fu has such a rich family, how much money did he spend on this reward? Damn it."
People envy you!”
"Ah ha ha ha ha ha!" Li Shuangxi couldn't help laughing when he heard Hao Yaoqi's words. He laughed until tears came out, and then explained, "I'm so envious, this pig-headed lucky king is the only one who can get it."
Give out a thousand taels to reward the army!"
"It would be better not to pay King Fu the Pig Head. He is so stingy that he has a net worth of hundreds of millions, but he is only willing to take out a thousand taels of silver. When the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw this situation, who was not so angry that his head was smoking? We shouted,
Before the official siege of the city began, Luoyang's commander-in-chief Wang Shaoyu's soldiers were the first to mutiny. But they mutinied at first and only captured Shangguan and demanded money from King Fu."
Li Laiheng and everyone below Niu Jinxing all looked at each other in shock when they heard this. Hao Yaoqi asked tentatively: "It's not like...it's not like it's come to this point. King Fu is still so stingy!"
"Haha! Waving the flag, you guessed it right! At this juncture, Prince Fu could only afford two thousand taels. When the officers and soldiers saw this, they simply killed Shangguan, and everyone rushed to Prince Fu's Mansion in groups.
The treasures were being robbed. The city wall of Luoyang was therefore undefended, so we arrogantly asked the inner troops to open the city gates and enter the city as a whole."
"Prince Fu and his son wanted to run away, but because of coming to Heng, your adoptive father had already sealed off the entire Yanshi area to the east. Prince Fu himself was intercepted and captured alive by a tiger on the way, and only his eldest son took advantage of the chaos to escape.
"
The Battle of Luoyang...The Battle of Luoyang turned out to be such a child's play.
The battle in Luoyang described by Li Shuangxi made everyone in the Little Tiger Team feel extremely ridiculous. How could there be such a fool as King Fu in the world? It was unbelievable.
But Li Laiheng also felt that things should not be thought of this way.
The reason why the Battle of Luoyang went so smoothly was mainly because the invading army had already wiped out all the dissident forces around Luoyang in the previous stage, and the final capture of Luoyang City was just a natural move.
Even without King Fu's miraculous operation, since Li Zicheng had controlled all the cottages around Luoyang, wiped out most of the powerful armed forces, and wiped out all nearby counties such as Yongning, Yiyang, Lushi, Lushan, and Baofeng, there would have been no such thing as King Fu.
Fool, Luoyang is also in the pocket of Chuangjun.
It's just that things were so dramatic and ridiculous that Li Laiheng couldn't help but feel that the Ming Dynasty had indeed come to an end. He even felt in his heart that Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, Fan Jingwen, Cao Bianjiao and others were so crazy that they would fight to the death for their loyalty.
Such a rotting corpse?
Could Zhu Yuanzhang imagine that his descendants would be so stinky!
If Zhu Yuanzhang traveled to the late Ming Dynasty, he would probably be the first to kill his own children and grandchildren.
"Haha, things are so ridiculous." Li Laiheng couldn't help laughing at himself and said, "Brother Shuangxi, you will lead the way. We have about two thousand soldiers and horses. You can take us to see the leader. I think
Although Luoyang has been conquered, the imperial court will definitely not be silent. This is no different than when we attacked the mountain stronghold, destroyed the small county town, the capital of Luoyang fell, and King Fu was killed. Such earth-shattering events will definitely cause the government and army to launch a massive counterattack."
Liu Tichun, the two tigers, also persuaded Li Shuangxi: "Yes, the little tiger's troops are very impressive. Only with the help of these two thousand people can we be sure to defend Luoyang."
"This..." Li Shuangxi glanced at Niu Jinxing first, with a slight hesitation on his face, and then said, "Okay, everyone, come with me to Luoyang. After the city was broken, Uncle Yufeng took over the treasury of Prince Fu's Mansion.
The food is really piled up like a mountain, and the money is so many millions that we can't even count it. Let alone two thousand more people, we can afford to support even twenty thousand more people."
"That's good!"
Li Laiheng immediately ordered the generals to go down and take control of the troops. He himself followed Li Shuangxi, Niu Jinxing and Liu Tichun, walked with the vanguard troops, and rushed to Luoyang as quickly as possible to meet Li Zicheng.
The scenery that Li Laiheng saw along this road was completely different from the deserted and desolate scene before. Although the road was still full of bones, and the branches, leaves and bark of the trees on the roadside had all been eaten away, it was different from the previous one where there were no pedestrians.
The appearance is completely different.
According to Li Shuangxi, after the invaders captured Luoyang, they immediately sent orders to Henan Prefecture, Nanyang Prefecture, and Ruzhou Prefecture, saying that they would open warehouses to release grain and help the hungry people.
This was naturally the strategy Niu Jinxing taught Li Zicheng.
Niu Jinxing imitates the story of Wagang Village taking grain from Liyangcang to recruit hungry people in the late Sui Dynasty.
Sure enough, as soon as the news of the opening of grain warehouses came out, the whole Henan Province immediately became a sensation. As the Little Tiger Team came along, they saw hungry people with excited faces and high spirits running along the road.
These hungry people were both men and women, some were stronger and had their families, and some were haggard and living dead dragging their last breath towards Luoyang.
The originally lifeless scene was completely changed in an instant.
There were so many people on the road heading towards Luoyang that the Little Tigers could hardly walk along the road. It should have taken half a day to reach Luoyang, but Li Laiheng and the others actually walked until night before finally arriving in Luoyang.
"Yigong, when I was in Yiyang before, I thought that the people in Henan were lifeless and did not have the vigor and vitality of the people in Shaanxi. Now it seems that I was wrong. As long as the people are given a little food, they can immediately burst into incredible energy.
Broad vitality.”
Gao Yigong was riding on his horse, looking at the approaching Luoyang and the surging crowds of hungry people, and said: "Henan is indeed densely populated! When we were in Qinzhong, we had more than 10,000 soldiers at our peak, but we didn't see any
We have experienced such a scene. In order to have a mouthful of food, the people can actually block all the roads from Yiyang to Luoyang."
"From ancient times to the present, the common people are the most unashamed. All they ask for is a full belly, but meat-eaters are despicable and cannot always satisfy even this small request."
Li Laiheng knew that since his family was exterminated by Ai Dusi and he joined the army, his scheming became more and more profound. In the army, he always calculated all aspects of the relationship, unlike Li Zicheng who was as open and honest as Li Zicheng.
Seeing the crowds of people filling the road in front of him, Li Laiheng suddenly felt that all conspiracies and calculations were insignificant in the face of such vigorous and magnificent vitality.
The people, and only the people, are the driving force behind creating world history.
As long as he could grasp the vast energy contained in the crowd in front of him, Li Laiheng believed that not to mention Chongzhen, Huang Taiji, and Dorgon, even if Gustave, Wallenstein and even Richelieu were added to the mix.
Even the princes and generals of the entire world cannot compete with one-tenth of the energy in front of them.
With thousands of poems and thousands of glasses of wine, I have often set my sights on the princes. I walked back carelessly from the Jade Tower and Golden Tower, and was drunk with plum blossoms in Luoyang.
"The spring breeze brings joy to the horse's hooves, and I can see all the flowers in Luoyang as I walk."
Li Laiheng's heart filled with great pride, he galloped forward, and smiled at Gao Yigong: "Yigong, peonies are a specialty of Luoyang, so you can't help but taste some of them. Come on, let's go into the city to meet the master!"
