The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 231 Dog bites dog

Chuang Wang only persisted for a few rounds, and the knife in his hand was knocked down, and the red lady put the sword on his neck.

If Hong Niangzi didn't want him to die happily, she might have killed him with a single sword.

No way, if the two were fighting alone in their heyday, Hong Niangzi might not be able to beat King Chuang.

But in the past few years, Hong Niangzi has either been fighting or training the army, and her martial arts skills have not fallen at all, but King Chuang has been in the palace all day long, dreaming and dreaming, and has not raised a sword or rode a horse for nearly a year, and he was able to escape so far , and fighting with Hong Niangzi for so long is entirely supported by survival instinct.

"Thief, what else do you have to say?"

"Win the king and lose the bandits, Li has nothing to say, if you want to kill or scrape, you have to obey!"

When he was about to die, King Chuang finally regained his heroic qualities. After speaking, he raised his neck and closed his eyes.

"Okay, for the sake of you being a human being, I'll show you face, and kill yourself!"

The red lady nodded, took back the long sword, and threw the knife to him.

King Chuang was a little surprised, but he still bent down to pick up the knife and cupped his hands towards her.Expressing gratitude, he swung his knife and killed himself, ending his life of ups and downs.

Looking at King Chuang's body, Hong Niangzi didn't feel the joy of getting revenge, and stood there for a long time without saying a word, and at this time the Ming army finally arrived.

It was dusk when we returned to Chang'an, and at this time Chang'an city was completely controlled by Liu Liangzuo's troops.

"Your Majesty, how did the intruder die?"

"I let him commit suicide, why do you have any objections?"

"No, it's just that this intruder has a special status. No matter what, he is the king of Shu conferred by His Majesty. It is the student's responsibility to record the cause of death in detail. I hope your mother will forgive me!"

One of the school lieutenant students in the lead quickly explained that they were all relieved to hear that the intruder committed suicide, otherwise it would be really difficult for them if the empress killed them.

Because no one has the right to dispose of an identity like a thief except the emperor, even if the imperial concubine kills him without authorization, it is considered overstepping.

Liu Liangzuo on the side kept his head down all the time, not daring to intervene, but seeing that this group of students even dared to question the imperial concubine, he felt admiration in his heart, and he also respected the emperor even more.

Hong Niangzi also knew that these students were diehard loyalists of the little emperor, and they only knew how to protect the imperial power without any selfishness, so she was not very angry.

Hearing this, he nodded, and said in a slow tone: "You don't have to worry, just record it truthfully!"

"Thank you madam."

All the students hurriedly thanked them, because Chuangwang committed suicide by himself, which is different from the nature of the empress who let him commit suicide, and there are some oversteps. They must also record the truth and point it out.

As for Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing, they didn't pay so much attention, and Hong Niangzi didn't have the slightest concern.

The next day, the two men were divided into five horses directly outside the city, and Liu Zongmin was shocked to see all the surrendered soldiers and generals.

The city of Chang'an was destroyed, King Chuang died, and the left and right prime ministers were divided by five horses, causing the entire Northwest to scramble to surrender. In just half a month, only Tongguan was left alone.

But Tongguan has become an isolated city, and it can be said that there is no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the earth. In the end, under the ultimatum of the red lady, Li Guo had to choose to lead his troops out of the pass and surrender.

Because even if Li Guo didn't surrender, the soldiers and generals under him planned to tie him up and surrender.

As for Li Guo and the other generals and officials of Chuangjun, Hong Niangzi did not deal with it without authorization, but took them all to the capital.

After Wu Sangui, Gao Jie, and Liu Zeqing arrived in Chang'an with the army, they all looked depressed.

While Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing were depressed, they gloated at Wu Sangui's misfortune, while Liu Liangzuo gloated at all three of them.

The three of them worked for a long time, and finally he and the empress picked the peaches. Although he was only a deputy, he was also very happy in his heart.

Zuo Menggeng didn't care too much, knowing that his qualifications were not as good as those of these guys, so he was not qualified to compete with them for credit.

However, although Zuo Menggeng was very low-key, the four of them disliked him very much, and their words were full of contempt.

Especially Wu Sangui, who almost vented all his anger on Zuo Menggeng, yelling and cursing whenever he moved.

"Wu Sangui, what do you do as a general? Your Majesty asked you to be in charge of the war in the Central Plains. You can see for yourself, what kind of command is your command?"

"I am incompetent, I am ashamed of trusting His Majesty!"

Wu Sangui had no choice but to plead guilty honestly.

The general soldiers of the four towns on the side were all looking forward to the show, but Tang Tong was the most disturbed.

"What's going on? How did Xiangyang get lost?"

The red lady said in a deep voice, obviously intending to investigate the responsibility, and took the opportunity to beat Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui didn't dare to hide it, so he had to tell the whole battle in detail, but he still pushed part of the responsibility on Tang Tong's head.

"Tang Tong, what Wu Sangui said is true. You really took out all the troops in Xiangyang, without leaving a single soldier?"

The red lady stared at Tang Tong firmly. If Wu Sangui was just careless, then Tang Tong's mistake was simply the lowest level mistake, and he was not qualified to be the commander-in-chief of a town.

"Your Majesty, you are wronged. The final general only has [-] soldiers and horses, but he wants to defend the entire three places of Xunyang, Nanyang, and Xiangyang. However, the general does not understand the lack of troops in the slightest, and does not consider the consequences. He insists on forcibly withdrawing [-] troops. The final general had no choice but to transfer all the troops from Xiangyang to Nanyang..."

"Tang Tong, you need to spout blood. It's because you are as stupid as a pig. Even if you don't have enough troops, you still have to keep some soldiers and horses?"

The two blushed immediately.

Seeing the two of them biting dogs, shirking each other's responsibilities and blaming each other, Hong Niangzi felt like a big fight for a while, not knowing who was responsible, after all, she was not there at the time.

Immediately, his eyes lit up, and he said to the captains at the side: "Take out all your records!"

"Your Majesty, this is the detailed record of the former army during the war."

"Ma'am..."

The school lieutenants in charge of recording in the former army and the towns did not hesitate and took out their files one after another.

After all, their file was supposed to be reported to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and apart from His Majesty, only the Left and Right Governors can retrieve it at any time.

The red lady took over the files of several people and looked them up carefully, but the focus was only on the former army and the seventh town.

Looking at this scene, it wasn't just Wu Sangui and Tang Tong who were beating their hearts, the hearts of the other general soldiers were also not very calm.

Although they had confirmed the contents of the file at the time, who knows if these captains have filled in the contents without permission?

Needless to say, the school captains really each made a summary at the end.
