Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 801 The Great Tomorrow Soldiers Break the City, and the Great Tomorrow Soldiers Enter the House!

The civil strife of the Lee family on Jeju Island is undoubtedly a major event for North Korea. However, for ordinary North Korean people, the war between the Daemyung soldiers and the Qing captives is the thing that has the greatest impact on them.

It can be known from the title that wherever the Ming army went, the Korean people's views on the Ming army and the Qing army have changed dramatically...
Gangwon-do, Wonju.

As the Ming army broke through the city, the guarding Qing captives were quickly killed by the Ming army who entered the city. From the two classes of officials and gentry who had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, down to the common people, they were all terrified, because they wanted to survive under the sword of the Qing captives. , have all shaved their hair and dressed easily, and left a money mouse tail whip.

Those who respond quickly and decisively, let the family members do it directly, and reduce the whip on the head.

But looking at the ugly look of the pile of hair on the top of the head, it is still very reminiscent of the money rat tail whip before, so he continued to be ruthless and shaved his head.

Most people are not clear about the situation, do not know whether the Qinglu will fight back, and dare not immediately reduce the whip - if the Qinglu really fights back, if they do not have the whip, they will be fined at least Family property, as a slave to the armored man.

From the period of Huang Taiji, the Qing Dynasty (Later Jin Dynasty) used the Eight Banners Army to march straight into North Korea, threatening the royal city several times and subduing North Korea.

Therefore, in the minds of most North Korean civilians, the coercion of the Qing Dynasty is heavier than that of the Ming Dynasty. Some younger civilians even only know the Qing Dynasty, but not the Ming Dynasty.

On the contrary, many officials, gentry and aristocratic families who inherited Confucian culture still think about Ming Dynasty and know how powerful it is today.

However, most of these officials and aristocratic families surrendered to the Qing Dynasty before, and even served as officials in the Qing Dynasty.

Now that the Ming army has broken the city, these people are the most active in cutting the whip.

But even after the whips were cut, they were still terrified—after all, most of them had worked for the Qing captives.

They didn't know how Daming would deal with people like them.

In a large mansion in the west of the city, the head of the Li family, Li Jizheng, was gathering with his family in the main hall, listening to the sound of gunfire and fighting outside, shivering.

His wife looked at Li Ji and his two sons' bald sideburns and back necks that couldn't be completely covered by hats, and then thought that the two sons were both serving as minor officials in the Qing government, and felt even more uncertain.

"My lord, after the Ming army takes control of Yuanzhou, they won't kill all of us who surrendered to the Qing?"

"Probably not." Li Ji, who is nearly fifty years old, looked ugly and said without confidence, "Even if you are not a commoner, there are too many officials and gentry in Yuanzhou who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. If Daming kills them all , who is going to govern the place, you can’t send officials from Daming, can you?”

The eldest son, Li Xi, immediately echoed: "That is, when the Qing Dynasty came, we were needed, and when the Ming Dynasty came, we were also needed.

What's more, Daming should come here to help us in North Korea, just like Wanli.Even if those of us who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty were to be dealt with, it would be dealt with by the king and the Yi government, not by the Ming army who broke the city. "

Hearing this, Li Ji not only did not praise the eldest son, but instead frowned and scolded: "What Qing Dynasty? That is a Qing prisoner!"

Li Xi's forehead was sweating, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it is the Qing prisoner. Don't worry, father, my son will never say anything wrong again."

At this time, there was a loud knock on the door from the back door, and soon the nursing home came to report, "Master, it's Mr. Zhao Chengshi who entered Zhenghongqi. He brought a few servants to our house to take refuge."

Li Ji and Zhao Chengshi had a good personal relationship, otherwise the nursing home would not have come to report such a thing.

But Li Ji was terrified when he heard this, he got up and shouted: "We must not let them in, drive them away!"

The nurse who sent the message was about to leave.

The youngest son, Li Che, shouted, "Slow down!"

Immediately he looked at Li Ji and said, "Father, this is a good opportunity for our family to make meritorious deeds and atone for our sins—we must let Zhao Chengshi in, capture him and sacrifice him to the Ming army!"

Li Ji didn't like taking risks, or he was cowardly and cowardly. Even though he found this proposal very attractive, he didn't immediately agree. Instead, he asked, "How many people did Zhao Chengshi bring?"

The nursing home said: "Five, including him six, everyone carries a big burden."

Hearing this, the eldest son Li Xi was also excited, saying: "Zhao Chengshi must have brought the money his family looted before."

After the Qing Dynasty took control of Yuanzhou, Li Ji, who was originally a seventh-rank official, chose to retire due to illness, but was forced to let his two sons be eighth-rank miscellaneous officials in the state capital, unremarkable.

Zhao Chengshi was different. Before the Qing Dynasty annexed North Korea, he had been currying favor with the Qing Dynasty.

After the Qing captives took control of Wonju, he even led his servants and guards into the Eight Banners North Korean Zhenghong Banner. Looted a lot of money.

Although Zhao Chengshi had a good personal relationship with Li Ji, he showed off in front of Li Ji a lot in the past few years when he gained power.

Therefore, Li Ji, who had the intention to "take the crime and make meritorious service", saw that the two sons agreed to the matter, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, then call all the guards to the back door, and let them in when you are ready, and take them down in one fell swoop! "

Afterwards, Li Xi and Li Che personally took people to handle the matter.

There was only a short sound of fighting coming from the back door, and then there was only Zhao Chengshi's yelling.

"Li Ji, if it weren't for me, you would have survived under the knife of the Qing army? Now you want to arrest me and claim credit for the Ming army. You ungrateful bastard, you have the ability to come see me!"

Li Ji's face was ugly, and he didn't want to see Zhao Chengshi anymore, so he was tied up and locked in the firewood room, so keep an eye on him.

As for the five servants brought by Zhao Chengshi, they were all killed.

Not long after being locked in the firewood room, there was a knock on the front door of Li's house, and at the same time, the Ming army shouted from outside.

"Open the door! Someone saw the Qing prisoner fleeing into your house, open the door quickly and cooperate with the search!"

Li Ji can understand Chinese, and his two sons can also understand some.

Hearing the sound, he didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly took people to open the door, and at the same time secretly rejoiced—fortunately, they didn't agree to let Zhao Chengshi hide just now, otherwise he would be implicated now.

But thinking that someone in my family was an official with the Qing captives, I couldn't help but feel uneasy, worried about being questioned and retaliated by the Ming army.

The women inside were worried about being insulted by the Ming army, and worried that their property would be robbed by the Ming army.

As for explaining that the army does not touch the women and property in the family, how is it possible?The world is as black as crows, and there is no Qiu Ba in this world who is not greedy for money and lustful.

However, what happened next was somewhat beyond the expectations of the Li family.

"Has Zhao Chengshi entered your house?"

Li Ji hurriedly replied: "Zhao Chengshi entered the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty and helped the tyrant to abuse him, so I pretended to let him in and captured him alive."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly asked the nurse to bring the bodies of Zhao Chengshi, who was tied up in a big way, and the five servants of Zhao Chengshi.

After inspecting Zhao Chengshi, the leader of the Ming army nodded, and said: "Just in case, we need to register and investigate your home, please cooperate."

Inside, Mrs. Li Ji listened and thought, "Come on, these Ming soldiers really want to make an excuse to search. Later, their female relatives may be passive, and the family's floating wealth may also be taken away."

The three of Li Ji and his son also felt that this matter was expected-the Ming army told them first, and did not conduct a direct and rude search.

You know, when the Qing captured Yuanzhou, the women in the family almost lost their chastity.Fortunately, the youngest son, Li Che, was quick-witted and took the initiative to present a few beautiful maidservants in class, so that the female relatives survived.

At this time, when they heard that the Ming army was going to search, Li Ji and Li Xi all looked at Li Che, implying that he would make the same arrangement.

Li Che immediately said: "We will cooperate with the search with all our strength, but I am afraid that this matter will not be completed in a short time. How about the general go in and have a cup of tea?"

Li Che knew that there were some things that could not be said in public, so he planned to lead the Ming army leader into the room to say it.

Unexpectedly, the commander of Ming army waved his hand and said: "No need - who is the head of the house? Let's register now.

One and two go in for investigation, three and forty guard the front and rear doors and walls, and five keep an eye on the streets. "

After the captain finished speaking, he took out a sketch pen and a small notebook, and found Li Ji.

Seeing this posture, everyone in the Li family was terrified, thinking that a catastrophe was inevitable.Even if he couldn't serve the master Mingjun to his satisfaction, he was afraid that he would be exterminated on the charge of secretly hiding the Qing captives.

After all, only the Ming army knows what they took the initiative to capture Zhao Chengshi. If they destroy the Li family and then slander the Li family, who will know their grievances.

Therefore, the lady in the main room, who had been watching the situation here, immediately said to Li Ji's two concubines: "If you want to survive, you will serve the master Mingjun in a while, you understand?"

The two concubines from commoner families nodded submissively, their faces full of bitterness.

When a Wu Ming army entered the back house, the two concubines took the initiative to greet them under the watchful eyes of the wife, forced a smile on their faces, and wanted to pull the Ming army soldiers to sit down.

"What are you doing?" The chief of the Ming army frowned and shouted sharply, "Stand in the courtyard for me and don't move!"

The eldest son Li Xi who rushed over was very surprised to see this scene, and thought to himself: Could it be that the Ming army chief thinks my two aunts are old and decrepit?If so, which younger sister should be used to serve?

While thinking this way, he didn't forget to send a message to all the female relatives to stand in the yard.

Originally, he wanted to see if the Ming army chief would take a fancy to anyone, but the five Ming soldiers didn't pay much attention to the female relatives, but went into the house to search.

And although it was inevitable to rummage through boxes and cabinets during the search and mess up the furnishings in the house, they did not intentionally damage the property.

Soon, the five people searched the main house of the back house where the female relatives gathered, and went directly to the front and back side courtyards.

Seeing this, Li Xi and the female relatives couldn't help but look at each other, feeling a little unreal—from the beginning to the end, these Ming army soldiers didn't touch them much, and didn't touch their family's floating wealth. Could it be that they are all saints?

At this time, Li Ji in the front yard registered his family information under the inquiry of the captain, and even had to answer the matter of his two sons working as miscellaneous officials in the state capital, and felt even more disturbed.

Seeing that the captain had put away his small notebook, he couldn't help but ask in slightly jerky Chinese, "Dare to ask the general, what will the Celestial Court do to people like my family who are forced to do things for the Qing captives?"

The captain said: "How do I know about this? Just wait for the notification. But you can rest assured that as long as you are not the kind of people who are not the kind of people who help the Qing Dynasty and have bloody hands, it is not a capital crime."

　Second more.

　　Good night~
