Chapter 8 (7) The most murderous person in the world

On the eighth day of the first lunar month in 1644, Li Zicheng left Xi'an and headed for Beijing. Behind Li Zicheng's buttocks, followed by a refugee army of more than one million people. Li Zicheng has become popular, and his trip is to Beijing to take over the national power.For this reason, when he set off, he issued the famous "Edict of the First Year of Yongchang". Only the emperor is qualified to issue edicts, and now Li Zicheng already has this power. Now Li Zicheng's first-person pronoun is no longer "I", but "Zhen". He even changed the year name.

The imperial edict said: ... You are still concerned about your ruler and your ministers. You have not reached the emperor's heart, and you have not expressed my intentions. I am telling you with a confrontation: You can empathize with the heavens and remember your ancestors, and how many times you will be virtuous. I will benefit the predecessors and do not hesitate to disagree. Counting, like Qi like Song, enjoying sacrifices forever... Although this passage is not difficult to understand, if it is translated into vernacular, it can deepen our understanding. What Li Zicheng meant was to tell Chongzhen and the puppet government that the only way out is to hand over the war criminals, plead guilty, and accept the trial of the people.

Li Zicheng regretted this letter of accusation against Chongzhen's puppet government just after it was released. Because he met Zhou Yuji. Zhou Yuji, male surname, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, after he fell into the hands of Li Zicheng in Pingfen, he retreated to Yanmen Pass to guard. He had just arrived at the place, and before he could catch his breath, he received a secret telegram from the imperial court, ordering him to rush to Ningwu to garrison .So Zhou Yuji rushed to Ningwu non-stop, and as soon as he arrived at the place, he saw a black mass of heads coming up at the end of the horizon, Zhou Yuji hurriedly stepped forward to fight.

Here is Li Zicheng's adopted son, Li Shuangxi, who is the most murderous person in the world. He doesn't like money and beauties in his life. His reputation was so fierce that when most officers and soldiers heard his name, they were so frightened that they couldn't avoid him.When he saw Zhou Yuji at this time, he saw Li Shuangxi stare strangely, gritted his steel teeth, and rushed towards Zhou Yuji's wrist with a big knife. , stabbed Li Shuangxi's head with a knife, Li Shuangxi was shocked, hugged the horse's neck in a hurry, and escaped the knife, but Zhou Yuji spun off a large piece of meat from the horse's buttocks.

The other two generals of Li Zicheng, one is Zhou Fengwu and the other is Gao Yigong. Seeing that this posture is wrong, Li Shuangxi has only the ability to cut off the hands and feet of the captives. The people rushed to meet Li Shuangxi and tried their best to protect Li Shuangxi. Zhou Yuji showed his might, with a left knife, a right knife, an upper knife, a lower knife, a forward knife, and a rear knife. , turned around and fled desperately, was chased by Zhou Yuji relentlessly for thirty miles, fearing that he would lose his way after chasing, so he reluctantly withdrew his troops and returned to Ningwu Pass.

The next day, Dashun Zuo Guoyi General Xie Junyou arrived. He didn't know how powerful Zhou Yuji was, so he stepped forward and called Guan to challenge him. Zhou Yuji rushed out on his flying horse, and chopped off General Zuo Guoyi's head with a single blow. Fly straight out eighty meters away. After killing General Zuo Guoyi Xie Junyou, Zhou Yuji was still angry, and rushed to Li Shuangxi to kill him. How could Li Shuangxi dare to accept the move?Even though he turned his back on his horse and tried his best to run away, Zhou Yuji still caught up with him, and he slashed at Li Shuangxi's shoulder with a slash, causing Li Shuangxi to fall off his horse.

Then Zhou Yuji Lema turned around, wanting to take off the head of the world's most murderous man, but when he turned around, he saw countless people running around, and Li Shuangxi was hiding in the crowd of people, so he couldn't find him. Zhou Yuji was so bored, he had no choice but to hunt down the vagrant army who didn't have eyes, and hacked to death more than half of Li Zicheng's vanguard. On the third day, Li Zicheng arrived with the main force excitedly. When he heard about this situation, he became very angry and ordered the large army to divide into ten groups to attack Ningwuguan immediately.In an instant, countless heads of people from Ningwu Pass were seen rushing towards them like landslides and sea tides.

Seeing that Ningwuguan was about to fall, Zhou Yuji on the city plate waved his hand at this moment: fire! Hearing the earth-shattering sound of bang bang bang, gunpowder smoke rose from the Ningwu pass, and amidst the fierce artillery fire, countless corpses of refugee soldiers were thrown into the sky. The attack of the refugee army was exhausted, and the black heads under the city wall fled wildly in all directions as if they were dying. Li Zicheng was stunned for a long time before he woke up. Zhou Yuji used artillery this week. Now Li Zicheng is angry, what are you doing, isn't he just a red-haired cannon?Don't think that the refugee army is the Tuba Road. The weapons and equipment of the refugee army are only better than the officers and soldiers, not inferior to the officers and soldiers.

Li Zicheng ordered that the train battalion be transferred to me. The train battalion is not the train battalion, but the artillery battalion. The red-haired cannons in the artillery battalion were of course seized from the officers and soldiers. Even the gunners in the artillery battalion were officers and soldiers before, but now they have awakened and spontaneously joined their liberation cause, so they pulled up The red-haired cannons worked very hard, ouch, ouch, ouch... It took a full five days to drag dozens of cannons to Ningwu City. Fill it with gunpowder first, then stuff it with iron balls, poke it firmly with an iron drill, and the artillerymen of the refugee army fired at the same time, only hearing the sound of roaring, and seeing that the city wall was blasted out of many holes.

Li Zicheng is happy, hehe, Zhou Yuji, let me see what other spells you have this time. At this time, I saw a team of migrant workers appearing on the top of the city, all holding trowel knives and mud buckets in their hands, with serious faces, and meticulously built the city wall. Seeing the situation, Li Zicheng became impatient: Zhou Yuji, are you still finished?
