Chapter 108 White Flag
Cao Huachun, who was waiting for the soles of his feet to be oily, suddenly heard someone calling him and was secretly shocked, so he quickly turned his head to see who was calling him at this time, but when he turned his head, he saw a short-dressed middle-aged man who was not good-looking appeared behind him. Cao Huachun After looking at him carefully, I can be sure that I haven't seen this person at all, but somehow, with Cao Huachun's ability to read countless people, I feel that the person in front of him is not simple. Although I can't see anything special from this dress, there is always a feeling that Cao Huachun does not dare to underestimate him.
So Cao Huachun glanced around and found that although it was not far from the gate at this time, no one noticed him. Even in the alley where he was located, there was not even a figure, so he did not dare to say too much: "Cough! Who are you? What are you looking for in our family?"
This man looked around and saw that the Chaoyang Gate was in chaos, and there was no one to command, and few people took the initiative to go to the city to prepare for defense. Even the eunuch in charge of Chaoyang Gate quietly took two small eunuchs, but slipped to this unnoticed place in the gate, so he was not polite. He immediately said to Cao Huachun, "Get off Ma Chengbiao, as for his identity! It's inconvenient to talk here. Since Eunuch Cao wants to go in, it's not too late to borrow Eunuch Cao to enter the house!"
Cao Huachun's pupils suddenly shrank, and immediately saw that Ma Chengbiao's identity was not simple. When he wanted to refuse, Ma Chengbiao suddenly showed something behind his back, which suddenly made Cao Huachun take a cold breath and quickly said, "It's easy to say! Don't be rude! Let's go in and talk about it!" It turned out that what this man took out was a novel-style flint.
Although Cao Huachun has never seen this new kind of flint hand, he has seen the fire rope hand, and he is also a person who has seen the world. From the mouth of the black hole, he also knows that if this thing comes to him so close, his life will return to his position on the spot, so even if he is scared, he almost loses and feces. Forbidden.
That's not to mention it. Just when he was blocked here by Ma Chengbiao, several tough Chinese characters suddenly appeared in the alley and nodded to Ma Chengbiao. Obviously, these people were also Ma Chengbiao's group.
Cao Huachun's regret! He, a pen eunuch who is responsible for leading the soldiers and horses of Chaoyangmen, was actually kidnapped not far from the city gate. This is really a joke. If he doesn't want the soles of his feet to be oily, he will stay under the city gate. No matter how chaotic it is, he will not be kidnapped now!
But now I saw that Ma Chengbiao and others had surrounded him. As long as he opened his mouth and shouted, it was estimated that he would kill him immediately. Therefore, Cao Huachun did not dare to make a sound. Ma Chengbiao pushed him and the two little eunuchs into the yard.
"What is your identity? There is no one else here now. Can you make it clear? If you want to make money, we still have some silver tickets here. You can take them as you like! And the rosary on our family is also worth some money. The good man can take it, as long as it doesn't hurt our family!" Although Cao Huachun has been rampant among the capital with the favor of Chongzhen for so many years, but by now, he has no previous arrogance. Even for Ma Chengbiao, who has an unknown origin, he asked.
After Ma Chengbiao entered the yard, he hugged his fist and said to Cao Huachun, "Mr. Cao, don't get me wrong. Our brother doesn't want to rob the kidnapping! We don't do secret things. Don't hide it from Mr. Cao. It's just outside!"
After hearing this, Cao Huachun was stunned at first, and then immediately realized what the man meant by what the outside was saying. Although he was prepared, he was still shocked. He quickly stepped back a few steps and let the trusted eunuch who followed him block him and said, "You... you... you are Xing Tian... Oh no! Are you from the Great Middle Dynasty?
Ma Chengbiao nodded with a smile and said, "That's good! I'm lucky to be able to work for today's Dazhong Emperor! Eunuch Cao doesn't have to be afraid. I don't want to be unfavorable to Eunuch Cao!"
Cao Huachun was a smart man. He immediately thought of the purpose of this man looking for him, so he pretended to be calm and said, "So I don't know what you are looking for me for?"
Ma Chengbiao didn't talk nonsense. After looking at the sky, he directly said to Cao Huachun, "No, I just want to save Mr. Cao's life!"
Cao Huachun was shocked again after hearing this and said calmly, "It's ridiculous! That's ridiculous! This is the capital of Daming, and our family is written by Si Lijian. As long as our family shouts, I'm afraid that thousands of officers and soldiers will rush in immediately. If you wait, people will fall to the ground. Why do you need to save our lives? That's ridiculous!"
Ma Chengbiao sneered and said, "Mr. Cao is right. At this time, this is still the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but Mr. Cao thinks that how long can the capital of the Ming Dynasty last?" One day? Two days? Or three or five days? In my opinion, if we attack the city later, I'm afraid we won't even be able to survive tonight!
What if our army breaks through the city? Doesn't Mr. Cao think about the future? Can Mr. Cao be a loyal minister and be martyred with the Ming Dynasty? If that's the case, then there's nothing to say! Now turn your head and leave. Quandang hasn't come to see Mr. Cao today!
But let's see, it seems that Duke Cao doesn't want to be loyal to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty! At this time, as Duke Cao, he should sit on the gate. Why did Duke Cao sneak here with two little eunuchs?
By the way, there is one more thing to remind Eunuch Cao, the small courtyard of Broom Hutong. Don't think that no one knows. I'm afraid that Eunuch Cao can't hide you for how long!"
After listening to Ma Chengbiao's words, Cao Huachun was scared on the spot. What Ma Chengbiao said was very right. With their strength now, it was simply a joke to defend Beijing. Originally, the emperor wanted to recruit the people in the city to help the defenders, but this notice was posted last night, not to mention the people. Even those officials did not send their family to help guard the gate of the capital, so it was only a matter of time before the capital was broken by the Dazhong army.
In fact, Cao Huachun has seen this for a long time. According to his arrangement, he knows the truth of the three caves of cunning rabbits, so on the surface, he has a special residence in the palace, but secretly, he secretly bought a small house in a very inconspicuous broom alley. In the past few months, he has already arranged a trusted eunuch. He secretly transferred a lot of gold and silver belongings in his mansion to the small courtyard of the broom alley, so he just wanted to change his clothes and ran to the broom alley. He thought he was hiding somewhere, but he didn't know it. Even if the Dazhong army beat the capital, it would be difficult to catch him. When the situation stabilized, After that, he tried to escape from Beijing and find a random place to rely on the gold and silver he has accumulated over the years. At least it is no problem to live a rich life. At that time, he will take two adopted sons to raise them and give him to his retirement, and his life will be over.
But he didn't expect that he was doing such a secret thing in the broom alley. The people of the Dazhong army actually knew it clearly, so his original plan would be completely empty. After he entered the city, he would definitely be able to find him. This time, Cao Huachun was completely I was scared.
Looking at Ma Chengbiao who seemed to be ready to turn around and leave, he didn't want to talk nonsense with him, while the other tough men who followed him showed a ferocious smile and took out a sharp knife from his arms one after another. Cao Huachun quickly shouted in a sharp voice, "Please stay!" With that, he trotted with Ma Chengbiao with the corner of his robe, showing a charming smile on his face. He asked Ma Chengbiao with a shy face, "Please stay. If you have any instructions, you might as well say it directly! This Ming Dynasty is over, and our family can also see that we have no idea of being the enemy of Dazhong and North Korea. I hope you can give us a clear way!"
Ma Chengbiao looked at Cao Huachun contemptuously. He thought that this man was usually favored by Zhu Youjian, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Today, he also handed over the Chaoyang Gate to him to guard, but this man had never thought of working for Chongzhen. At the beginning, there was a high potential, which was also such a thing. The more disabled they were, but The more afraid they are of death, now that the Ming Dynasty has gone, they are only focusing on making plans for their own way back, which makes Ma Chengbiao really look down on Cao Huachun.
But today he is not here to despise Cao Huachun, but his upper peak order to let him stare at Cao Huachun to death and find an opportunity to persuade Cao Huachun to surrender. It is best to let Cao Huachun open the gate and surrender, so no matter how he looks down on Cao Huachun, he must complete this matter.
So Ma Chengbiao immediately whispered to Cao Huachun and said a few simple words. Cao Huachun's face changed slightly, but he immediately gritted his teeth and nodded.
When he was at a loss in the whole capital, Cao Huachun suddenly appeared outside the Chaoyang Gate and recruited some soldiers who guarded here. After muttering for a while, the soldiers nodded repeatedly.
Just as Xiao Tianjian was calculating the time outside the city. After noon, Xiao Tianjian turned around and pulled the rein, turned over and jumped on his horse, and slowly raised a hand above his head.
The eyes of the trumpet player, messenger, flag bearer and generals focused on Xiao Tianjian's big hand. When Xiao Tianjian's big hand waved hard, they began to send orders and launched a general attack on Beijing.
Including all kinds of artillery that had been placed outside the city, they had already been loaded. The gunners had already prepared red-hot iron brazes. After waiting for the military order, they immediately began to bombard the city with heavy artillery.
There are also countless soldiers and generals who began to prepare to carry the hook ladders, flying ladders and other siege instruments placed at their feet. After the shelling, the officers rushed up to climb the city and took the Ming capital.
"Holy King! It's past noon! There is no surrender in the city!" After Tietou came to Xiao Tian's fitness, he shouted to Xiao Tianjian.
Xiao Tianjian crossed his heart, his hand clenched into a fist, and the muscles of his shoulders were tense. When he suddenly waved his arm and began to attack the city with all his strength, a Yu Linwei standing in front of him suddenly turned his head and shouted to Xiao Tianjian, "Your Holy One! A white flag was raised on the Chaoyang Gate!"
Xiao Tianjian looked intently at the doorway of Chaoyangmen, which had not moved at all morning. At this time, a white flag was suddenly raised and swayed hard with the wind.
At this time, it was Liu Yao's headquarters waiting to attack the city outside Chaoyangmen. At this time, everyone tightened their muscles and waited to start attacking the city. However, when they saw a big white flag at this juxity in the city, everyone immediately said, "Shh..." I didn't know that they were loose. He was still discouraged or dissatisfied. In short, everyone stood with a straight waist and tight shoulders, and suddenly collapsed.
"Gun grandma! It's too early to surrender! It made me hold it until now that his grandmother announced her surrender. Isn't this a joke? Yan Shuting pulled the helmet down from his head, fell heavily on the ground, and kicked a good eight-petal iron helmet, which was flatten by his continuous fall and tramp.
Even Xiao Tianjian himself felt that he almost flashed his waist. He thought it was impossible to wait for the expected surrender. He was ready to forcefully attack Beijing. However, at this juxta, the city suddenly gave the agreed signal, the white flag! It made him feel like he was full of strength but punched until it was empty. He really wanted to vomit blood.
"Who the hell is guarding the gate? Why did you make up your mind to surrender at this time? Xiao Tianjian scolded secretly in his heart, but his clenched fist was also slowly put down at this time.
Before long, the Chaoyang Gate began to creak and open from the inside. A group of officials trotted all the way out of the tall gate, and quickly returned outside the gate in turn.
After Yan Shuting was ordered, he immediately took the two battalions' marches and a cavalry battalion. He immediately rushed to the Chaoyang Gate. Looking at the officials and generals kneeling outside the Chaoyang Gate, Yan Shuting was not polite to them at all and did not ask about their identities. He just roared, "Get aside, don't block it. The road! Listen to my order, enter the city immediately, and control the gate first! ......”
Cao Huachun was so scared that he was so scared that he took a group of eunuchs and generals who surrendered with him. He rolled and climbed to the roadside and knelt down again. He saw these large and medium-sized generals, not even look at them, and their neat formation. Under the leadership of the generals of the middle army, the cavalry was in front. After the infantry, they rumbled out a thunderous footsteps, and in a blink of an eye, they ran in front of them and rushed into the sunrise door that had just been opened...
