Kaifeng.

When Li Zicheng was dreaming of capturing Kaifeng, cannibalizing the Ming Dynasty, and ascending to the throne as king.

Zhu Weinao has arrived at Kaifeng City with more than a hundred Jin Yiwei.

After approaching Kaifeng City, the group of people would encounter a few, a dozen or even dozens of spies at regular intervals.

Some of the spies wanted to withdraw and send messages after discovering them, and some were even bold enough to attack them.

But without exception, they were all easily eliminated by Erhu’s Jin Yiwei.

In this way, the group arrived at the gate of Kaifeng City smoothly.

Li Zicheng in Yanli Village didn’t know anything about it.

Kaifeng City, West Gate.

Xu Shi has been besieging the city for a long time, and there are not many Chuangwang troops here at the west gate of Kaifeng.

There is even a small crack in the city gate of the West City, and people from the city come and go from time to time. They want to go outside to find some preserved wild vegetables and fruits, but they do not encounter any obstruction.

Of course, it is also possible that the king’s army is surrounded by three and one is missing. It is necessary to leave one alive here so that the defenders trapped in the city can come out and attack from multiple sides.

But no matter what the reason was, Zhu Weinao and his party did not encounter much obstruction until they arrived outside the west gate of Kaifeng City.

From a distance, a group of people appeared outside the west gate of Kaifeng.

Some of the city guards saw it and thought it was an enemy attack. They quickly got up and began to close the city gate.

Seeing this, Erhu quickly stepped forward and shouted from a distance,”Don’t close the door! We are the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty.”

But his words obviously had no effect.

Normally, even if it is reinforcements, they must first close the city gate and confirm their identity before opening it.

What’s more, Kaifeng is now a war zone. So even if he said this, the city gate was slowly closing.

He stepped lightly, and his whole body turned into an afterimage and rushed in before the gap in the city gate was closed.

Then he took out the Jinyiwei waist badge to prove his identity,”Don’t close the city gate. I, the deputy commander of the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei, came with the Queen to aid Kaifeng.”

“Her Majesty the Queen is now outside the city. People come and go to notify Gao Mingheng and immediately open the city gate to welcome Her Majesty into the city.”

After saying that, he had time to look at the surrounding situation.

With just one glance, he froze there.

No wonder the city gate closed a little slowly. There was only a small gap, but it could not be closed in the first time.

This city guard…

They were as skinny as firewood, crawling on the ground, moving slowly like zombies.

More than a dozen people lay there and tried their best to make the city gate move slowly inch by inch.

Looking around, the city was as quiet as a ghost town.

People sitting on the official road or sitting on the road could only move slowly inch by inch.

Or lying in a group of poor people who looked like withered bones.

Among the crowd, there were people who had already died of starvation, but others seemed not to notice, just leaning against the dead people.

Behind him, the city gate was knocked open.

Zhu Yuluo did not wait for the city to enter.

The officials came to greet them, and they rushed in like a tide with the accompanying guards in uniforms.

As soon as they entered, they saw the scene in the city before walking very far.

After just one glance, she was suddenly startled, and her eyes instantly became moist.

These

……Are they all my people of Ming Dynasty?

It turns out that these are my people of the Ming Dynasty…

She had seen the refugees outside the city in the capital, and she thought they were the most miserable people in the world.

When she saw the miserable situation of the refugees, she vowed to save these Ming people.

However, she didn’t know that the refugees who could make it to the capital were already living a good life in these troubled times.

More victims cannot even leave the disaster-stricken areas and can only wait to die there.

She looked at everything in front of her and felt that all the strength in her body had been drained away.

As she walked forward, feeble sounds from the official road reached her ears.

She raised her eyes and looked around, looking at the surrounding scene with dull eyes.

This is… troubled times?

Suddenly there was a strange creaking noise and sobbing sounds coming from the room next to her. Zhu Auao looked over blankly.

“Your Majesty, don’t look.”

Erhu stepped aside to block Zhu Wei’s sight as soon as she turned her head.

Zhu Ya’ao frowned, and after a long time she said softly:”Why?”

“His Majesty……”

Erhu opened his mouth and wanted to explain something, but he couldn’t say anything.

Zhu Weiyao seemed to have thought of something, her arms trembled slightly and her teeth bit her lower lip.

She obeyed the advice and walked forward, but after a while her eyes gradually became moist.

For a moment, she seemed to have made up her mind, and a firm voice came out of her mouth.

“I am the empress of the Ming Dynasty. I vow to end this troubled world and save my people of the Ming Dynasty.

“I need to know how miserable my people of the Ming Dynasty are.”

After saying that, she raised her feet and walked towards the direction where the sound came from.

This time, Erhu did not stop her.

Zhu Weiyao walked closer and looked in.

After just one glance, her whole body felt like she was in trouble. Lightning struck.

Her lips were trembling and she could not speak. The tears in her eyes flowed down her face uncontrollably.

This……Are we, the people of the Ming Dynasty?

This is……Kaifeng City was trapped and killed by (cjei) Li Zicheng?!

Six cold words that I had only seen in history books and thought were exaggerations now appeared before my eyes.

Zhu Weiluo……For the first time, I truly understood what troubled times are and what disaster victims are.

At this moment, the self-blame in her heart, the hatred for those corrupt officials who were killed by Taizu, and for Li Zicheng, who had besieged the city with an army and created the hell-like scene of Kaifeng on earth, all reached their peak.

The Ming Dynasty can perish, but the people of the Ming Dynasty should not suffer so much.

The country can change hands, but it should not fall into the hands of Li Zicheng.

He doesn’t deserve it!

Looking at the scene in front of me, looking at the hell-like scene all over the city.

Zhu Weinao wanted to go out of the city gate several times and slap Li Zicheng and his 400,000 troops into dust.

But she endured it in the end.

She knew she had more important things to do.

She knew that from the moment she took the throne, she lost the qualification to be impulsive and willful.

……

Kaifeng Patrol Mansion, Gao Mingheng listened quietly to the spies���Report the news that Li Zicheng’s army is about to attack the city.

He knew that he was able to get this information not because his spies were so good, but because Li Zicheng never thought of hiding it from him.

This was a conspiracy. Even though he knew that Li Zicheng was going to attack the city, he couldn’t come up with any effective way to deal with it.

Once the news spreads, it will cause mutiny in the city, which is already plagued by famine.

And he faced only two choices: open the city gate and surrender now, or die after the city was breached.

He knew that the time had finally come when he had to make a choice.

He understood that the decision he made next would probably… no, it would definitely nail him to the pillar of shame in history.

However, if the order is not given, the intruders will attack the city in three days, and Kaifeng will be destroyed.

In the city of Kaifeng, the king of Zhou dispersed his wealth, the soldiers fought hard, and the generals fought to the death, resisting this for a long time.

After all, can’t we resist this panic of God’s will?

He frowned, and finally called the guards:”Give the order, open the city gates, and let the residents in the city… escape for their lives.”

After the guards received the order, he spoke again.

This time the voice was as cold as ice, and the guard was so shocked that he seemed to have heard wrongly and couldn’t believe it.

“Let the soldiers collect all the food from the people and use it as military rations……”

What is this going to do? Let the troops defending the city rob the city of food?

The guard hurriedly said:”Sir, no! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“If we do this, what is the difference between us and the intruder?

“When everyone is dead, how long can we last even if we end up in an empty city?”

Gao Mingheng felt bitter in his heart.

How could he not know this?

But he knew better that Kaifeng cannot be broken! []

Gao Mingheng said:”The spies just came to report that the intruder will attack the city soon.

“If Kaifeng is broken and thieves break into Tongguan, what will happen to me tomorrow?……But he is really dead

“Even if we harm the people of our city, we must protect the Ming Dynasty!

“I bear this crime, Gao Mingheng, and it has nothing to do with you.

“This time the intruders came, I carried the coffin to the city wall, I wanted to let the intruders know

“Our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will never bow their heads, and our country of the Ming Dynasty is unbreakable!”

The sinner Gao Mingheng was willing to defend Kaifeng to the death.

The guards tried to persuade him for a long time, but Gao Mingheng had already made up his mind and just let him pass the order.

However, before the guards could go out, they heard a loud noise in the city.

Kaifeng Tower In the dead city, no one had the strength to shout for a long time. Where did this voice come from? He was suspicious in his heart. Gao Mingheng was just about to open the door to take a look when he saw a guard running in from outside the door and shouted loudly:

“grown ups! grown ups!

“grain! There is food!

“Her Majesty the Queen personally came to aid Kaifeng and brought a lot of food and grass.

“There is food in Kaifeng! The people are saved!”

Gao Mingheng:?

Listening to the guard’s nonsense, Gao Mingheng directly reprimanded him.

How long has it been? How dare you talk nonsense to disturb the morale of the army.

Her Majesty the Queen?

He has received the news that Her Majesty the Queen has ascended the throne.

The news sent by Fei Ge also mentioned that Taizu personally visited the Fengtian Palace and named the ninth princess of the Ming Dynasty as the seventeenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty.���A female emperor.

Three days ago, the Supreme Emperor abdicated and the Queen ascended the throne with the emperor’s title of Kunxing.

He only selectively listened to some of these messages.

For example, if the Queen ascends the throne, he believes that no one would dare to spread such news. After all, spreading such news will cause loss of head.

But Gao Mingheng didn’t believe a word of Taizu’s words when he came to Fengtian Hall in person.

Taizu?

If Taizu was really still alive, how could he sit back and watch the Ming Dynasty fall into its current situation before standing up to put things right?

In his opinion, Her Majesty the Queen must have somehow gained control of the power in the court, forcing the Supreme Emperor to abdicate the throne.

The news of Taizu’s personal visit was nothing more than a news fabricated by the Queen in order to appease the people and make her ascension to the throne more justifiable.

Of course, despite this, it did not hinder her inner admiration for Her Majesty the Queen.

This is the second time since Wu Zhou that Her Majesty the Queen can ascend the throne as a woman.

With such means, the Ming Dynasty may really be able to revive again in the hands of Her Majesty the Queen.

The Ming Dynasty is not a sign of ruin, there are already people who can save the world……It was precisely because of this that he strengthened his belief that he would defend Kaifeng for the Ming Dynasty even if he sacrificed a whole city of people. because……Only by guarding Kaifeng can we buy more time for the Queen and more time for the Ming Dynasty.

And if the country falls into the hands of Li Zicheng, the people will have no future.

That Li Zicheng……It is definitely not the appearance of a wise king.

However, although I have great hopes for Her Majesty the Queen.

I even believe that with the means by which Her Majesty the Queen can ascend to the throne as a woman, the Ming Dynasty will be restored in her hands.

But Gao Mingheng didn’t believe a word of what the guards said about Her Majesty the Queen’s personal expedition, bringing a large amount of food and grass to support Kaifeng. after all……Three days ago, Her Majesty the Queen ascended the throne in Beijing.

After the transfer of imperial power, she needed to stay in the capital after ascending the throne, spending a lot of time and experience to consolidate the power in her hands.

Under such circumstances, how could Her Majesty the Queen arrive at Kaifeng City three days later today?

Even after the Queen ascended the throne, she left the chaos in the capital and rushed directly to Kaifeng.

Even three days in this world cannot cover the distance of thousands of miles. not to mention……Do you need to mobilize a large amount of food and grass from the guards?

Therefore, Gao Mingheng was sure that this was the guard’s nonsense.

However……Under Gao Mingheng’s accusation and reprimand, the guard swore and swore that he had not lied.

In addition, there was indeed constant noise coming from outside.

Still doubtful, Gao Mingheng decided to go out and take a look.

Then……As soon as the door of the mansion opened, he was stunned.

On the street outside his house, a big pot had been set up at some point.

Next to the cauldron is a mountain-like pile of grain bags.

From the scratch in the bag, white rice could be seen peeking out from inside.

On the grain bags piled up like a hill, a guard wearing a flying fish suit sat at the top, looking down at the surroundings with cold eyes.

Under his gaze, none of the victims who were so hungry that they wished they could feed themselves did not dare to cause trouble, and they all lined up in a long line beside the cauldron.

Next to the oversized cauldron, which is deeper than any person, and on a high platform that was also erected at an unknown time, eight city sergeants are stirring the thick rice porridge in the pot with a large shovel.

The rice porridge is almost cooked, and the fragrance of rice is faintly exuding.

Not to mention the victims lining up in front of the pot, smelling the aroma of the rice porridge, even Gao Mingheng couldn’t help but swallow.

“alright! Everyone lines up, one bowl per person, everyone has it, no one can grab it.”

Seeing that the rice porridge in the pot was almost ready, the Jin Yiwei sitting on the grain pile shouted to the group of victims.

The sound was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone’s ears.

The soldiers who were cooking the porridge and those who were queuing up The victims soon started to move.

Each person had a bowl of thick rice porridge, which was distributed to every hungry victim like life-saving medicine.

People ignored the boiling heat of the rice porridge and gulped it down after being given the porridge. Pour it into your mouth.

Some people knelt on the ground and kowtowed after drinking. Some people couldn’t help but shed tears while drinking, and then they cried while pouring it into their mouths.

“This is……”

After standing in front of the mansion for a long time, Gao Mingheng came back to his senses.

He walked quickly to the big pot of porridge and asked with doubts.

Is it possible……Is it true that Her Majesty the Queen came personally and brought enough food to Kaifeng, an isolated city that had fallen into despair?

His doubts were quickly answered.

The Jin Yiwei who was sitting on the grain pile stood up and cupped his hands towards him:

“Her Majesty the Queen cares about Kaifeng. She just ascended the throne. After settling the refugees in the capital, she led me to Kaifeng to support her.

“After entering the city, I saw the tragic image of Kaifeng. Her Majesty the Queen could not bear the people to starve to death.

“So he decided to give porridge and food to the people in the city.

“There are a hundred soup kitchens like this in Kaifeng City.

“There are mountains of food piled everywhere.”
