Chapter 14 Getting a piece of equipment
Baihu brought a team of soldiers to the city, separated Chen Mingyu from the others, and smiled and said, "Sir, please!"
Chen Mingyu had just heard Zhao Ming's words, but hesitated. He and the gentry just put Fang Heng, the magistrate sent by Jiannu, to prison. He was not sure if there were anyone in the city who wanted to surrender.
Zhao Ming said that Chen Ruizhi sent people to take him, and Chen Ruizhi said that he was a righteous act of supporting the gentry and people in the city, but there was no substantial action, and his subordinates did not help defend the city.
This made Chen Mingyu feel trembling. Seeing the posture of these soldiers again, he immediately raised his vigilance in his heart. He said calmly, "I still have some things here. After I finish dealing with them, I will go over and visit me."
The hundred households smiled and said, "That's probably not possible. The guards were very anxious and told the young man to take his husband with him. Mr. Don't make things difficult for the younger man."
Chen Mingyu frowned, "What if I don't go?"
Baihu held the hilt tightly in his hand and his face darkened, "Then don't blame me for being rude!"
Zhao Ming laughed at this, "Go, why don't you go? I'll go with my husband."
The Baihu glanced at Zhao Ming, who was this guy? Seeing that he was wearing a garment that was not incompatible, he felt that this person would not be the person Liu Si mentioned.
Isn’t this a farmer?
Baihu looked at Zhao Ming, "You want to go too?"
Zhao Ming patted his chest and said, "I am the entourage of the gentleman, and I want to follow him."
The Baihu stared at him for a while, but couldn't see anything special. He thought to himself, "Isn't this just a fool? I'm going to catch you anyway, and it's just right to solve it together."
"Okay, let's go together!" Baihu showed a malicious smile on his face and reached out, "Sir, let's go!"
Chen Ming nodded slightly when he met Zhao Ming, gave him a reassuring look, and breathed out, "Okay, I'll go with you, but I'll explain a few words."
After Chen Mingyu ordered a few scholars, he walked down the city. Zhao Ming and Zheng Sen, who was standing in the crowd, looked at each other. The latter nodded and then immediately got off the city.
The group walked on the road, and Baihu and his soldiers surrounded the two of them, as if they were afraid that they would escape, but Zhao Ming had no intention of escaping.
Chen Ruizhi had five hundred soldiers under his command. Even if these people had poor combat power, they would definitely be stronger than the villagers in the city.
Now the Qing army has arrived outside the city, and the rebels in the city are obviously not ready to defend the city. If there is a riot in the city, the Qing army will definitely rob the city, and Jiangyin will definitely not be able to defend it at that time.
If Chen Ruizhi decides to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, these five hundred people will be enough to open the city gate and cooperate with the Qing army inside and outside. Unless you capture the king first, control Chen Ruizhi, let his subordinates have no leader, and then threaten with strength, and understand the reason and move them with emotion, you can smoothly resolve the surrendered forces in the city and not give the Qing army outside the city an opportunity to take advantage of it.
At this time, Zhao Ming did not have the consciousness of going to Hongmen Banquet at all. He walked calmly in the middle of the street, not caring about the hundreds of households next to him. Instead, he talked to Chen Mingyu and said, "What did you say just now?"
Chen Mingyu whispered: "I'll let them listen to Damu!"
Zhao Ming smiled on his face. He looked at Zheng Sen just now, meaning that he asked Zheng Sen to lead someone to respond.
Now that Chen Mingyu has told his subordinates to listen to Zheng Sen, he doesn't have to worry even more. So he asked a very interesting question, "Now that Jiangnan falls into the hands of Jiannu, why don't Mr. escape to Zhejiang, but choose to promote righteousness in Jiangyin. Mr. should know that Jiangyin is already an isolated city, and with the power of Jiangyin, it is almost impossible to change the situation. Why should Mr. lose his life?"
Chen Mingyu slowed down a little and sighed heavily: "I know that Jiangyin is dead, but in this world, civil servants only know the struggle between the party, greedy for money and power, and eliminate dissidents. Generals do not know the righteousness and fear death. Five hundred thousand soldiers surrendered at the sight of the wind. Even the emperor fled overnight. The only clan of Jiannu was only hundreds of thousands, and he actually entered the Central Plains and drank the Yangtze River. Now Jiannu still wants to shave my hair and change my clothes. I am not convinced! There is always someone in the world who stands up and loses like this. I am unwilling to give up!"
Zhao Ming was infected by his words, and at the same time he felt the helplessness in Chen Mingyu's heart. The Ming Dynasty was too unsuccessful and it didn't matter if it died, but what should the world do? Seeing that it was occupied by Jiannu, everyone shaved their hair and changed their clothes, and survived without dignity?
"If everyone in the world had such a responsibility as a gentleman, the situation would not have collapsed so much." Zhao Ming praised.
At this time, the group had already arrived at Chen Shoujie's house, with soldiers holding spears outside. Zhao Ming walked in without hesitation and saw soldiers sitting on the stone bench in the yard, all wearing disc helmets and cloth armor. When they saw them coming in, they stood up one after another, held the spear tightly, and murderous aura was filled with murderous aura.
"You guys wait, I'll report!" Baihu said, and then went into the lobby first.
Soon after, he came out and smiled maliciously: "Please invite the guard!"
Zhao Ming gave Chen Ming a reassuring look. When the two walked into the lobby, they saw more than a dozen small flags standing on both sides of the lobby. They were all wearing plate helmets of the Southern Ming Army, with various helmets on them, and they were wearing double-breasted cloth armor. Several were wearing iron armor. They all looked at the two of them squinted, and only Liu Si hid behind them.
Above the lobby, there was a chair, a man wearing a phoenix-winged helmet, tall tassels, wearing iron armor, wearing a big red cloak, with a knife hanging around his waist, and a black face, sitting on it with a big golden sword.
When Chen Ruizhi saw the two of them coming in, he said straight to the point: "I have nothing else to invite you to come here. I just want to tell you that I have a way to protect the safety of Jiangyin City!"
Chen Mingyu frowned and said coldly: "Is the guardian going to surrender to the Qing Dynasty?"
Chen Ruizhi stood up, pressed the hilt of the knife with his hand, and his eyes exuded murderous aura, "Sir, you understand. The Qing soldiers have arrived outside the city. The Ming court has been destroyed. Why should you take the life of the whole city? Do you think that with those scholars and village men, you can resist the Qing soldiers?"
Chen Mingyu sneered and said, "What if I don't surrender? Chen Shoujian, you are also an official of the court. If you eat the salary of the Ming Dynasty, you don't want to defend the territory, but instead want to surrender to the enemy? Surrender to Jiannu, shave your hair and change your clothes. Do your ancestors refuse to recognize it? What's different from pigs and dogs?"
"You!" Chen Ruiyi pointed at Chen Mingyu, and was speechless after a series of questions. His black face turned red, and then he threw his battle robe and said angrily: "Hmph, you don't know the current affairs, you forced me."
Chen Ruizhi shouted loudly, "Take it down for me! Leave him to the Qing soldiers!"
Several people immediately pulled out their knives at the military academies on both sides. Zhao Ming suddenly walked forward, stood in front of Chen Mingyu, and shouted, "I see who dares to move!"
Zhao Ming was full of energy and shouted with a sudden sound, just like Zhang Fei snatching the Dangyang Bridge. His voice was loud and shocked everyone present to the eardrums.
Chen Ruizhi was stunned by the excitement and then furious, "Take it down for me!"
Several military academies rushed up with weapons, and Zhao Ming roared angrily, "You dog traitor are looking for death!"
He grabbed the arm of a Baihu with one hand, and hit the armpit with the other hand, snatched the Yanling sword, then kicked one person away, snatched it up with one step, pulled Chen Ruizhi out half of the knife and kicked it back into the scabbard, and the sword was already on his shoulder.
"I'm so arrogant!" Zhao Ming pulled the knife without hesitation and saw blood shooting. Then he cut off Chen Ruizhi's head directly.
The human head rolled down, his helmet fell to the ground, revealing a head that had just shaved his hair and had a blue scalp.
Zhao Ming grabbed the braid and raised his head high, "This is the end of the Qing Dynasty!"
Chen Ruizhi's subordinates were stunned for a moment, and the garrison was actually killed in front of them.
In the lobby, many people were Chen Ruizhi's servants, but some people just made a living. Now, as soon as the leader died, there was no leader in the crowd.
At this moment, there was a noise outside. When Chen Ming saw the opportunity, he immediately raised his arms and shouted, "This place is surrounded by my people. I am aware of it and surrender quickly. Let's fight against the Qing Dynasty together."
Liu Si took the lead in the crowd and stood up, "Hero, I'll do it with you!"
The remaining officers hesitated for a while and threw down their weapons one after another.
At this time, the noise outside became louder. Chen Mingyu hurried out to comfort him, but Zheng Sen led his people to surround Chen's house.
Soon, Zhao Ming also came out of it, but had already changed into a cool armor, which was Chen Ruizhi's style.
As soon as he entered the hall, he fell in love with this set of armor.
"I made a piece of equipment as soon as I came, it was great!" Zhao Ming shook his cloak and strode out of the yard.
Zheng Sen and Chen Mingyu were stunned when they saw this, and Liu Si exclaimed: "The general is so majestic!"
