Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 315 I will only teach you once

"My king, run quickly! The Ming army is catching up with us!"

Li Zicheng was really lucky. Facing the bombardment and chaotic battlefield, this guy actually ran away.

But it's normal if you think about it. King Chuang's army had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, while the Ming army had only 20,000. People are not trees that can stand there motionless.

Even if there were only a few hundred thousand pigs, it would take 20,000 Ming soldiers a long time to capture them, not to mention the chaotic battlefield.

Li Zicheng took the word "Guo" to the extreme. When he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately took off his majestic and handsome royal robe, asked his men to throw away the flag, and ran away directly among the soldiers.

Unfortunately, although the Ming army was small in number and slow in capturing prisoners, they were fast in killing people.

If someone is squatting with his head in his hands, leave one or two people to guard him. If someone is running away without caring about his life, shoot him without hesitation.

The rebel army, which had been running around the mountains and plains like wild ducks, surrendered after hearing the rounds of gunfire. Those with a bit of brains had already surrendered.

The rest are those who know that they will die if they surrender, or those who are so scared that they just run away.

A small team kept a close eye on Li Zicheng's team.

"Brothers, keep an eye on it, this is definitely a big fish. Don't shoot, it will be worthless if you kill it."

Seeing dozens of people running away, the team leader, who had been observing with a telescope for a while, gave orders excitedly.

The soldiers instantly perked up when they heard this. Some of them who were about to raise their guns to shoot put them away and followed the captain to chase.

Although they are soldiers of space and are infinitely loyal to Zhu Zhanjun, they also have their own dreams and the life they want.

Zhu Zhanjun then set rewards for all the soldiers based on their merits.

There are one to five levels of merit. Small merits can be accumulated into great merits. If you get first-level merit, you can leave the space and become an ordinary citizen, and use the money rewarded by the court to marry and have children.

These soldiers no longer remember their past lives, but the genes that carried over from their bloodlines have never disappeared.

All soldiers dream of becoming an ordinary free man, doing what they want, marrying a not-so-pretty wife, having a wife and children, and passing on their bloodline.

So when the soldiers heard that there was a big fish ahead, they became very excited.

"My lord, why don't they use that kind of weapon anymore?"

A man looked puzzled at the people behind him who were chasing the Ming army with excitement on their face, and asked curiously.

Li Yan, who was being supported by a soldier, said unhappily, "What else could it be? They must have discovered that we are not ordinary and want to capture us alive."

"After all, no matter how noble one's status is during life, after death, it will just be a pile of smelly skin."

"That's right, you must have revealed something." Li Zicheng agreed, but his pace did not slow down at all.

It’s not that he didn’t want to ride a horse, but when he was riding away just now, the rest of the people were shot to death by the enemy.

These Ming soldiers had an inexplicable feeling towards cavalry. As soon as they saw cavalry, they would immediately shoot and kill the horses.

In fact, they didn't know that in the minds of ordinary soldiers, those who could ride horses among the rebels were not ordinary people. Even if they were just a cavalryman, they could get a fourth-class merit if they could capture him, but his death was worthless.

Therefore, when these space soldiers face enemies on horseback, they will kill the horses first and then take the opportunity to capture them alive.

"No way, boss. These guys are too good at running."

After chasing for more than ten miles, they saw that the enemy was about to enter the mountains, and the Ming soldiers who were chasing them became a little anxious.

The leader of the team gritted his teeth and shouted to the team behind him: "Break their legs, monkeys."

At the end of the team, a thin soldier who was running while chewing on a biscuit stuffed the remaining compressed biscuit directly into his mouth.

He quickly took off the rifle that was different from the other soldiers behind him, found a favorable position, pulled the bolt to load the rifle, and through the scope, he could clearly see the person running in front of him.

He just observed for a while and then pointed the gun at Li Zicheng.

In this fleeing team, those people were obviously protecting Li Zicheng. As specially trained snipers, they only had one chance to fire when performing special tasks, so they could quickly identify who the important targets were.

After slightly adjusting the muzzle of the gun, Monkey pulled the trigger.

A real sniper does not need various parameter data, but relies entirely on feeling.

If you think you can hit something, shoot there.

There was a bang and the bullet flew out.

"what!"

A scream was heard.

Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion who was being protected, had a cloud of blood burst out from his right knee and fell heavily to the ground.

"King Chuang..."

The people around him exclaimed and hurried to support him.

"boom!"

Another gunshot rang out, and Li Yan, who was closest to the target, also had a cloud of blood bursting out from his knee. He then fell on top of Li Zicheng, causing him to groan.

bang bang bang...

Gunshots continued to ring out, and everyone, whether they were trying to escape or to save Li Zicheng, had their knees broken.

During this time, the captain had already surrounded the remaining people with his men, pointing their guns at the remaining people.

"Put down your weapons and surrender, or I will kill you without mercy!"

Following the captain's scolding, everyone slowly moved forward.

"God is unfair!"

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Li Zicheng shouted in grief and anger, drew his sword and was about to commit suicide.

"boom!"

Another gunshot rang out, and his hand holding the knife was directly broken. "Kill me, kill me quickly, they want to capture me alive, kill me quickly."

There was a flash of horror in Li Zicheng's eyes. He knew that the other party had confirmed his identity and would not let him die.

Thinking of the Ming Dynasty's hatred towards him, the terror of the Jinyiwei and the punishment of being cut into pieces, his face changed instantly and he roared loudly at the people around him.

The people around him also understood the consequences of Li Zicheng being captured, and two of them raised their knives and slashed at Li Zicheng.

However, as soon as their knives were raised, the slowly approaching soldiers pulled the trigger instantly.

After a burst of gunfire, the two guys who raised knives to kill Li Zicheng had their limbs broken.

"on!"

In order to prevent the other party from committing suicide again, the captain's face turned cold and he gave the order directly.

Several soldiers rushed forward and put their guns to the foreheads of several important figures, while the others put these guys' weapons aside.

"Name, position in the rebel army?"

The captain was the first to find Li Zicheng. He pointed a pistol at Li Zicheng's forehead and asked about his identity.

"Humph!"

Li Zicheng snorted coldly and closed his eyes.

"Haha, you are really tough. I hope you can still be so tough in the Jinyiwei prison."

The captain was too lazy to ask. After all, he was the one who caught the man. No matter who the man was, he would get all the credit.

He ordered his men to capture some more prisoners from the surrounding areas, and got some simple stretchers, and had the prisoners carry these guys. The captain and his men walked towards the imperial city with happy faces.

“Woo woo woo, may our ancestors bless us!”

Seeing the defeated Chuang army outside the city, Chongzhen excitedly waved his fists and shouted, "Ancestors may bless you."

Zhu Houzhao, who was standing by, was so angry that he kicked Chongzhen on the butt.

"What do you mean by ancestors' blessing? I am here."

"Forehead…"

Chongzhen looked embarrassed. He had just said these words out of habit when he was happy. He smiled and said, "It's my great-grandson who is confused. You are a magnanimous person. Don't take it to heart. I am here to pay my respects to you."

Seeing this guy so well-behaved, Zhu Houzhao snorted, and then said to Wang Chengen who was also smiling beside him: "You damn eunuch, why are you still standing here? Don't you see that our ancestors have finished the war? Hurry up and open the city gate to let them in."

"And prepare some wine and good food. We came here in such a hurry that we didn't even have time for breakfast."

"Yes, yes, I will prepare it right away..."

Wang Chengen, who followed the whole process, did not dare to offend Emperor Zhengde, who seemed to have a bad temper, and agreed with a smile on his face.

But when he turned around, he suddenly remembered that the court seemed to be out of money, so where could he get these things?

He turned around and looked at Chongzhen with an embarrassed expression.

After being looked at by Wang Chengen, Chongzhen reacted instantly.

In order to save money for the court, he lived frugally. He was reluctant to change his underwear even though it had several holes in it. He ate rice porridge and pickles every day, and only had meat during festivals.

Some time ago, the last bit of money left was given to Li Jiantai.

Now, let alone preparing wine and meat to reward the three armies in the palace, Chongzhen’s family is also worried about the money for the future meals.

"What's going on? Are you having trouble?"

Seeing his brother looking embarrassed, Zhu Youxiao asked with concern.

"that……"

Chongzhen was a little embarrassed to speak, but he finally said with a red face: "Grandpa Gaozu, my brother, the palace has no money."

"The palace is so poor now. Let alone rewarding the troops, we can't even afford to give you rice porridge."

"Snapped!"

Zhu Houzhao slapped him on the head and cursed: "Zhu Houcong, look at the children you gave birth to, they are all cowards."

After saying that, he asked Wang Chongen to open the city gate, and then took Chongzhen down the city and went to a magnificent mansion with its doors closed.

"Watch it, I'll only demonstrate it once."

Zhu Houzhao said, pointing at the tightly closed door with a shadowy figure in sight, "There is a spy hidden in this mansion, colluding with the traitors outside the city. Someone, come and kill him for me."

"Yes!"

The soldiers following him shouted instantly.

Several of the soldiers took out a few palm mines, tied them together, placed them directly at the door and pulled the fuse.

There was a loud bang and the door was blown open, with screams coming from inside.

The soldiers ignored him, fired a burst of shots at the door, and then strode in.

Zhu Houzhao showed a satisfied smile, put his arm around Chongzhen's shoulders and said proudly:
"See? As an emperor, it's easy to solve the problem of having no money."

"Well, Grandpa Great-Grandpa, isn't this a bit too much?" Chongzhen asked cryptically.

"Snapped!"

Another slap was placed on his head. "I told you you are stupid but you still refuse to admit it. When your country was captured, what were these people doing? When you summoned them, did they go? When you asked them to donate money, did they donate? When you asked them to fight, did they send anyone?"

"People treat you like a dog, but you still treat them like a human. You are indeed the back of Zhu Houcong. You took drugs so much that you passed your stupidity on to your descendants."
