The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

More than a quarter of an hour passed before Gao Douheng came to the main hall to report that the palace guards had gathered.

Zhu Youfan was helped out of the main hall by Shen Wandeng.

After all, Gao Douheng had been Zhu Youfan's follower since he was a child. When he saw this, he couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with your Majesty?"

"It's nothing, Gu just accidentally twisted his waist, just let Shen Youji support him."

Arriving at the small square in front of the main hall, Shen Wandeng saw that there were indeed five hundred royal guards gathered here.

They all looked quite tall, but not many of them were serious about wearing armor. There were only a few dozen people wearing cloth armor.

The others were all wearing military attaché uniforms made of good material, and most of them had fair complexions, like young men from rich families.

The queue behind the assembly was loose, and there were even many people chatting in low voices.

Shen Wandeng looked at it and thought to himself: Is this what the palace guards are like? One of my servants can fight five!

At this time, Wang Sanjia came closer and whispered: "They are basically all here."

Shen Wandeng nodded and said to Zhu Youfan: "Your Majesty, give the order."

Feeling the sharpness in his waist, Zhu Youfan had no choice but to shout at the top of his voice: "Follow Gu's order and put your weapons under the steps!"

The guards looked at each other in shock.

Gao Douheng finally realized something was wrong.

Looking at Shen Youyi's hand that was always on Zhu Youyi's waist, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Shen Wanteng, how dare you hold the king hostage?!"

There was also a commotion among the palace guards.

Shen Wandeng frowned, thinking that she was really troublesome, so he might as well chop Zhu Youfan off with a knife.

But this was the first job Liu Sheng gave him, and he couldn't fail.

Then he said in a low voice: "It seems that the king's order does not work."

Feeling that the sharp edge in his waist was about to pierce the brocade robe, Zhu Youfan was so scared that he wanted to cry.

He quickly shouted: "Didn't you hear the solitary king's order? Put down your weapons! Gao Douheng!"

Gao Douheng is really loyal.

Seeing this, he sighed heavily and threw the knife down the steps.

With him as an example, most of the palace guards stepped forward to disarm.

However, there were a few people who felt that it was too dangerous to disarm and ran away directly for fear of being killed.

However, he was shot to death with bows and arrows by the guards of the Xiaoqi Battalion who had been surrounding the small square for a long time.

After several people died, no one dared to escape anymore.

Then, several of King Chong's concubines and a group of children were also escorted over and imprisoned directly in the main hall.

The most important among them are undoubtedly the three sons of King Chong, the eldest son Zhu Cihui, the second son Zhu Cikun, and the third son Zhu Ciyao.

Shen Wandeng and Yang Kuiwu repeatedly found someone to confirm that the three princes were all the same, and then they felt relieved.

Then he sent someone to report to Liu Sheng.

···

Before Shen Wandeng set off for Prince Chong's Mansion, Peng Youyi and Yang Heqing sent people to report, saying that they had taken control of the west gate and the south gate.

Liu Sheng then transferred the four civilian brave regiments outside the North City Gate into the city.

After learning that Shen Wandeng controlled Prince Chong's Mansion, he left two militia groups to guard the government office and the nearby county government office.

Then Hu Dongliu led three sentries, one regiment and one battalion, to take charge.

He took Zhao Deyou and the other three sentries from the first regiment and the first battalion, two civilian brave regiments and the Huben battalion to Prince Chong's Mansion.

With the participation of more than a thousand civilians, the Chongwang Mansion, which covers an area of ​​several hundred acres, can be truly controlled.

Then, Liu Sheng asked Zhao Deyou to take several sentry-level military and political officers to count and count the various properties of Prince Chong's Mansion with the assistance of Huben Camp and Xiaoqi Camp.

Liu Sheng, accompanied by Shen Wandeng, chatted with Zhu Youfan.

"As the first vassal of the Ming Dynasty to fall into the hands of us, how does King Chong feel?"

Zhu Youfan didn't expect Liu Sheng's first question to be so heartbreaking, and he immediately broke his guard.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Zhu Youqi sat paralyzed under the eaves of the corridor and cried loudly. It was really sad for those who heard it and shed tears for those who heard it.

When Liu Sheng saw it, he couldn't help but said: "Don't cry. When Li Zicheng breaks through Luoyang next year and captures Prince Fu's family, Prince Chong will know that it is actually a blessing to fall into our hands."

"What?" Zhu Youfan suddenly stopped crying, "Did Li Zicheng conquer Luoyang?"

“Not yet, but definitely next year.”

Shen Wanteng looked over in surprise.

Li Zicheng naturally knew.

That was a giant bandit as famous as Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai.

Liu Sheng actually vowed so confidently that he would conquer Luoyang next year. Was he well-informed or a prophet?

Shen Wanteng didn't know.

When Liu Sheng mentioned this matter at this time, in addition to teasing King Chong out of interest, he also wanted to let Shen Wandeng know about his extraordinary status.

It's not that he was afraid of Shen Wandeng, it was just a matter of course.

Liu Sheng saw Zhu Youfan in a daze, and then said: "There are some refugees outside Ruyang City who are so hungry that they exchange their children for food. King Chong is so white and tender. If we strip him of his clothes and throw them to those refugees, I wonder what will happen?"

Zhu Youqi had never seen how the refugees outside the city lived.

When he went out of the city, he always had guards to clear the way, and dispersed the crowds far away, so that he could not see the suffering of the people.

But he had heard about people exchanging their children for food - the Wen magistrate mentioned this many times when he came to persuade him to spend money to feed the hungry people.

He always felt that those refugees were far away from him, but he didn't expect Liu Sheng to say that.

He shuddered as he thought about it.

He was so frightened that he knelt down in front of Liu Sheng and kept kowtowing: "Chief, spare your life, please don't give me to the hungry people. I don't want the money and food from Prince Chong's Mansion and the royal villages outside the city. I just ask the leader to spare my life." One life.”

Liu Sheng sneered, "I have already taken control of Prince Chong's Mansion and captured your family. Naturally, the money and food in Prince Chong's Mansion belong to my rebel army. If you use these to survive, do you think I am as stupid as you?"

Zhu Youfan was speechless for a moment, his face full of despair.

Liu Sheng was too lazy to tease him anymore and said bluntly: "I will give you a clear path. Write a letter to Chongzhen and ask him to send 100,000 shi of food. I can save your family's life for a year."

In addition, tell the Ming court not to send troops to Runing Mansion, otherwise the rebels will not be polite to your family. "

This is Liu Sheng's temporary treatment of Prince Chong's family.

The second reason is that the reputation of King Chong's line is not bad - no matter how good their reputation is, the people below will still rely on the power of the royal family to dominate and oppress the people, and it is still related to them.

Most importantly, the Huabu rebel army was very different from the Li Chuang peasant army that conquered Luoyang in history.

At that time, Li Chuang's peasant army grew rapidly within three or four months, and brought a large number of hungry people, refugees, refugees, and bandits with them.

These people were full of resentment towards the Ming Dynasty, and they hated corrupt officials and vassal kings who were lying on the people to suck blood.

If Li Zicheng wants to control such a huge team, he can only go with the flow - the team is mainly made up of hungry people and full of anger, so he must let the team vent their anger.

Therefore, it is recorded in later generations that Li cooked King Fu after breaking through Luoyang, which may not be true.

Although Liu Sheng's rebel team also came from hungry people, they had undergone certain training and even allowed the soldiers to see a bright future, so Liu Sheng could fully control it.
