Beiyang new warlord

"Send an order to summon the generals to raise their accounts! Let Li Benshen and Wu Fu come to see me first!"

Once Guan Ning's army entered the city, what should we do if we can't go out?What's more, outside the city, it depends on the face of the Ministry of War to ask for food or salary. If they enter the city, if the Guan Ning army behaves wildly and asks for this or that, it will be a big trouble for the eunuchs in the Ministry of War who are already supervising the army.

Besides, without this layer of city wall, it would be so troublesome to deduct military pay as a rule!

Just because they were worried about these two troubles, the internal and external officials did not hesitate to lock the most important military force defending the capital city outside the city.

In the military salary donated by Mao Wenlong with all his family property in Yongdingmen, he should give himself a share as a rule, and put it in his pocket unceremoniously. This Liu Zhongyi is really loyal to personnel. Holding that jade card, he visited Wu Xiang mansion.

It's not that he is so kind, this is a rare opportunity to collect money!Sure enough, Wu Xiang personally welcomed him into the mansion. Immediately afterwards, a large plate of silver was served in front of him. Looking at the shiny silver and Wu Xiang's old face that had already smiled like an old chrysanthemum, the eunuch also smiled with his eyes. It became a seam.

"Old General Wu, don't worry! Ping Xibo is very brave these days! Our family will definitely report Ping Xibo's military achievements to the court truthfully. When the intruders are defeated, I am afraid that Ping Xibo will change his name to Ping Xihou. Our family Congratulations, old general!"

"So, thank you, father-in-law! Sanfeng! Bring the fox fur we bought in Tieshan last year, ouch, father-in-law, it's not right for you to wear it in this cold weather, put it on!"

"How can this be done? The old general is polite, but our family is not respectful!"

The money was also collected, and a fox fur coat was stuffed in. Liu Zhongyi returned out of Wu Xiang's mansion with a full load of smiles, but just after sending the eunuch away, when he turned around, the smile on Wu Xiang's face was hurried. After getting colder, he quickly walked back to the mansion, and immediately dragged his useless eldest son Wu Sanfeng to give orders.

"A calamity is coming! You pack up your clothes immediately, and take advantage of the darkness to hide under the big pagoda tree at the entrance of our street, so that the family in the backyard is ready to escape at any time! Also, take your younger brother's concubine, Chen Yuanyuan, well, and don't let her go." Lost! Go!"

"Father, are you confused!"

I just gave the fox fur, so obviously I don't want it! Wu Sanfeng, the second generation of the army who is similar to Li Rumei in the past, muttered impatiently.

"Our Guan Ning army is resisting outside, and the capital still has an army of 10,000+. The situation is good! Why is there a disaster!"

"Oh, you unfilial son, I'm so mad at you!"

The walking stick in his hand was rubbed against the ground a few times in a row, Wu Xiang was annoyed and raised the blood-red jade plaque with lettering on his forehead.

"what is this?"

"Isn't this the natal jade token that father gave to our brothers?"

Before he understood it, Wu Sanfeng still looked not in a hurry, but immediately, with an ouch, he was kicked hard by Wu Xiang, and staggered back to the side.

He looked carefully at the door again, and pushed him into the bedroom. The jade tablet was held up in front of Wu Sanfeng again, and Wu Xiang hummed with a stern expression.

"The natal jade card never leaves the body. Your brother sent this back, which means that he is already in danger! Take action! Tell us that he can no longer be the Wu family at this time, let us ask for blessings!"

"Once the Guan Ning army fell, the 10,000+ trash from the Beijing camp can hold the city? Disaster is imminent, and the Ming Dynasty is coming to an end! Don't you understand?"

"If you don't prepare sooner, you'll just wait for our Wu family to die!"

Seeing his father, the old goblin, bluffing in front of him like that, for a moment, Wu Sanfeng was so frightened that his old face turned pale.

On the other side, there was a dull atmosphere in the entire Guanning Army, and Li Benshen waved his hands fiercely like a grieving woman.

"Defend the capital! Defend the capital! Do you treat us as our own people? In the past few days, which door was in an emergency and we were not rescued. Guan Ning's children died one by one. They guarded us more closely than thieves! The thieves attacked. Turn around and run, we are going to the city to rest, and the muskets and cannons are going to greet us!"

"General, more than 40 of my family's soldiers have died in battle these days! Half of the soldiers under his command are gone! If the fight continues like this, our ancestral shop will be wiped out!"

"There are also those from my Wang family village!"

Following Li Benshen, the various guerrillas of the Guan Ning Army, the participating generals also complained one after another.

Sitting behind the fire, most of Wu Sangui's face was darkened by the light of the fire. Listening to the complaints of the generals, he remained silent until Li Benshen's last signal came.

"General, if the fight continues like this, our Guan Ning army will be finished!"

"Then what do you say?"

Suddenly, Wu Sangui raised his head abruptly, and stared fiercely at Li Benshen's face.

This is the same routine as Emperor Chongzhen!But Wu Sangui's generals obviously took on more responsibility than those civil servants in Chongzhen. He swallowed heavily and turned his heart away, Li Benshen said in a gloomy low voice.

"Anyway, it will be dead if you fight again, general, the final general thinks, let's go against it!"

"This great Ming Dynasty has no future! To work hard for those officials and lords, even if I die, I don't think it's worth it!"

The voice became more and more vicious, Li Benshen turned his head viciously, his gaze was full of murderous intent, and for a moment, the generals who were complaining just now became completely silent under his gaze.

But looking at the Wu family's soldiers swaying beside him and Wu Sangui's silent demeanor, the same sternness gradually emerged in the pupils of these generals Guan Ning.

"Anyway, our family is not in the capital, so what are you worried about?"

"Damn it, I don't want to give my life to those bastards in Beijing!"

"Inverted! Inverted!"

The trembling voices merged together, and all eyes fell on Wu Sangui's face. Looking at this scene, the corners of his mouth under the shadow couldn't help but slightly curved upwards.

"Then reverse it!"

Chapter 566. The Fall of Olympus

In front of the Guangqu Gate in the capital, dust was flying, horses were neighing, and the sound of shouting and killing was overwhelming, and the roar of cannons and muskets could be heard from time to time.

It seemed that he was quite satisfied with the results of breaking down the various gates of the capital these days. On this day, Li Zicheng once again gathered the main force to attack the Guangqu Gate in the southeast, and Wu Sangui also gathered the remaining [-] or so Guanning troops in At the same time, a desperate fight was launched, and the battle situation was surprisingly anxious.

Wang Dehua, the eunuch of the supervising army, and Zhao Tigan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Langzhong Zhao Tigan watched the two armies fighting with binoculars in horror.

"Report!"

Just when the two of them were concentrating on looking around, a messenger suddenly rushed over with strides, knelt down on the ground fiercely, kowtowed and shouted.

"Father-in-law! My lord! General Wu sent envoys to report that the left wing is out of support. I implore the Beijing camp for support!"

"Tell General Wu that the Jingying is to protect the capital and the emperor, if you can't send it, let him support himself!"

Without pricking his eyelids, Zhao Tiqian hummed coldly, and the orderly who drank hurriedly kowtowed again.

"Sign up and obey!"

With the order, the piercing soldier hurried down, but not long after, he hurried over again, knelt down and kowtowed again.

"Father-in-law, my lord, General Wu has come to report that Guan Ning's army can't hold on anymore, please open the city gate and let Guan Ning's army enter the city for shelter!"

"No! Absolutely not!"

This time it was Wang Dehua who bared his teeth and yelled first, and then he yelled furiously: "Go back to Wu Sangui, let him hold back, dare to take a step back, military law!"

"Sign up and obey!"

Again, the orderly ran off.
