Chapter 508 Kill the monkey to show the chicken!

Li Zicheng's Dashun Dynasty is now "prosperous" and its work efficiency is very fast!

As soon as the order to hang Zuo Menggeng's family was issued, General Ruhou Liu Zongmin, the general in charge of military discipline, immediately took action with his men.

First, they surrounded Zuo Mengeng's handsome manor, then arrested everyone in the Zuo family, and then ransacked the property. Although Zuo Liangyu is not very greedy, sitting in this position, he always has savings of hundreds of thousands of taels!

The next step is to verify the identity. Not all members of the family are named Zuo. Many of them are maids, servants, masters and accountants, so there is no need to arrest and hang them.

In addition, Zuo Mengeng also has a lot of wives, concubines, and singers! Can't you check them one by one? Those who look enchanting are probably those who were forced into Zuo's house and need to be rescued. Liu Zongmin is kind-hearted now, and is known as Liu Dashanren!

There are also some plump and fat ones that are still young and can be fertilized at a glance, so they must be sent to Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng does not have a son and a half yet! Emperor Shun Taizong has not raised one yet, and there is no one in the world.

The heir was so anxious that he died. Liu Zongmin was also anxious, and it was not easy to imitate Gao Jie and go to help himself, so he had to help Li Zicheng find a woman.

After finishing all these miscellaneous things, three or two days have passed, and the time has come for Zuo Mengeng to hit the road.

It was really an empty street, and everyone was cheering as they walked along the street! Some people picked up stones and soil and threw them at the Zuo family in the prison car. Fortunately, there were Dashun soldiers maintaining order along the way, otherwise there was no need to wait for them to hang up.

, and was smashed to death by countless rocks and clods of earth.

Zuo Menggeng was completely collapsed after being locked up in a cage-style prison car. Li Zicheng was so cruel this time, hanging himself all over the house! The whole family was neatly organized, and no one escaped. They were all locked up in the prison car.

He is being dragged towards the execution ground!

What made him even more devastated was that the people being escorted back and forth in the prison car were not Li Zicheng's old battalion soldiers, but Zuo's army's general, deputy general, staff general, and a thousand of Zuo Menggeng's own servants!

These guys usually behave like loyal dogs in front of Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Mengeng, except for wagging their tails. Now they are actually fully armed and escorting Zuo's family to hang themselves.

The viciousness of people's hearts was beyond the expectations of the young marshal Zuo Mengeng. And Li Zicheng's ruthlessness was also beyond the expectations of the Zuo army generals and Zuo family servants who escorted the Zuo family to their death.

Li Zicheng is killing a chicken now, no, he is killing a monkey to show the chickens!

The "monkey" family is about to die. How can the "chickens" not be afraid? Their families are all in Jiangling City, and they are "protected" by Li Zicheng's people. There is no need for Li Zicheng's soldiers to kill them. As long as they are not protected, everyone in Jiangling City will be killed.

If you help the common people who hate Zuo Jiajun to death, you can eat those people alive.

Therefore, in the past two days, Li Zicheng issued a series of imperial edicts to reorganize the Zuo family army without any politeness.

The remnants of Zuo's army inside and outside Jiangling City were carefully counted, and the old, weak, sick and disabled were eliminated. In total, there were still more than 30,000 people left. Regardless of servants or ordinary soldiers, they were all broken up and organized into various battalions of the Dashun Army.

The generals from the left and the servants of the Zuo family have formed a separate battalion. Now they are escorting the Zuo family to death. This is their chance to show their loyalty!

The execution ground soon arrived, and it was placed outside the original gate of the Prince of Chu's Palace. The place was spacious and convenient for everyone to watch. Li Zicheng was sitting on the gate of the palace with a big horse and a golden sword, surrounded by a lot of civil and military ministers, Huang Shu

He was also standing next to him, dressed in a blue robe, and he was so happy. Li Zicheng had just rewarded him with the title of Minister of the Criminal Government. He was responsible for the legal procedures for hanging the Zuo family. He also led the people to arrange the execution ground, the gallows and the hanging.

The ropes have been carefully inspected to ensure that everyone in the Zuo family can be sent.

Of course, the kindness of the late master cannot be forgotten. Huang Shu spent his own money to build thin-skinned coffins for the Zuo family, one for each person. The grave where they were buried was entrusted to the military advisor Song Xiance to find it. It is a geomantic treasure!

"Your Majesty, everyone from the Zuo family is here!"

"What a big family!"

"A worthy death"

A group of civil and military officials on Li Zicheng's left and right had already seen the prison convoy team, and they all looked gloating about the misfortune. Only Huang Shu tried his best to pretend to be sad.

Li Zicheng also sighed and said to his left and right: "As per the decree, let the Zuo family go kowtow to Zuo Liangyu's coffin first, and then go down and accompany him!"

Zuo Liangyu's coffin was originally found and placed on the execution ground, opposite a row of gallows, which were used to hang his children and grandchildren.

I don’t know what he should think about knowing that he is aware of it.

Li Zicheng asked again: "All the Zuo family members are here?"

"The only thing missing is Zuo Mengmei!" Liu Zongmin said, "This little girl is not a good person. She colluded with He Tengjiao to kill his brother Zuo Menggen, and almost succeeded. Fortunately, the emperor arrived in time. Now this little girl

He joined forces with He Tengjiao and retreated to the south of the Yangtze River, leaving only one or two thousand men to guard a pontoon bridge on the Yangtze River.

Your Majesty, after you finish killing the Zuo family, you will lead your men across the Yangtze River to kill Zuo Mengmei and hang her as well!"

"She has someone to take care of her," Li Zicheng smiled, "Will Zhu Cihong let her go? Huang Shangshu, what do you think?"

After hearing Li Zicheng's question, Huang Shu immediately replied: "Your Majesty is wise, Zhu Cizhong is cunning and vicious, and he will not let Zhu Cizhao's family go."

"Then will he come?" Li Zicheng asked again.

"Yes, definitely yes!" Huang Shu said with a smile, "There are a lot of troops on the other side of the Yangtze River! There are tens of thousands of soldiers belonging to the Prince of Chu's Mansion, Zuo Mengmei's concubine Zhang Yong has eight thousand Shaanxi soldiers, and Ma Jiaolin stays behind

There are 7,000 Shaanxi soldiers in Yuezhou. He Tengjiao has brought at least 10,000 more. Jin Shenghuan also has 30,000. They were originally stationed in Yiling and have now crossed the Yangtze River. Together, these soldiers and horses are seven or eight.

Thousands of people!

If Zhu Cihong doesn't come over, how can He Tengjiao and Zuo Mengmei join forces to devour these soldiers and horses? How can he then seek to usurp the throne?"

Li Zicheng sneered and said: "Well, we are waiting here in Jiangling. He has to walk more than 700 miles to get here. We are just waiting for work!"

"All hanged?"

"They were all hanged, no matter old or young, no one was spared. This Li Zicheng was too cruel."

"Alas, Zuo Mengeng is also doing his own fault! If he had taken refuge with me earlier, would he be afraid that he would not be as rich as Wu Sanfu?"

"you do not say"

In the Wuchang Palace, Zhu Cixiang was receiving Chang Yanling who came from Gong'an County (Gong'an County is across the river from Jiangling County) at starry night.

General Chang Da does not know how to fight, so now Wu Guoyong, Zhang Yong, Jin Shenghuan, and Qiu Lei assist He Tengjiao and Zuo Mengmei to control the military affairs on the front line of the public security front. Four people make the decisions below.

A bunch of warlords, big and small, are really in chaos.

He Tengjiao also knew that this would not work, so he sent Chang Yanling to Wuchang to ask Zhu Cihong to take charge of the overall situation.

But Zhu Cihong was not sure that he could defeat Li Zicheng in Jiangling. How could he be the strategist who killed Hauge? How could he not know Li Zicheng's strengths and his own weaknesses?

Although Li Zicheng's troops are weak, he has the inside advantage and can use his fists to hit people!

In addition, his basic base has been condensed, and he must have brought many direct descendants to Jingzhou, otherwise it would not be so easy to hang up Zuo Menggeng's family.

This shows that Li Zicheng has completely controlled the Zuo Army who stayed in Jiangling, and most likely dispersed and annexed it. Now around Jiangling, the number of Li Zicheng's troops is probably around 100,000. With the cannon fodder collected from the Zuo Army, Li Zicheng can

I can fight a tough battle!

Although Zhu Cixiang's troops are more powerful than Li Zicheng, they must be divided between Wuchang Prefecture and Jingzhou Prefecture, and they have to be careful about the waist of Yuezhou Prefecture. Therefore, they cannot form a joint force!

Moreover, the troops stationed in Jingzhou Prefecture were difficult to command, as they were spread across several hills. Among them, Zhu Cixiang's direct lineage was a division of Wu Guoyong, which was not easy to integrate.
