Chapter 724 The army has chased after Tianjin

Princess Kunxing ignored other people and walked straight to Li Guodong. Yingying was full of begging. "Wuweibo, please, save the people outside. You are a great hero who stands tall and strong. Even if I am in the deep palace, I have heard that you will help the people. The people outside will follow me all the way, and with the promise of Wuweiboqing, he will have a hope of living in Tianjin. Could it be that Wuweibo would bear to watch them starve to death?"

As he was talking, he saw crystal clear tears hanging on Zhu Ma's white face, which made people feel pity.

Li Guodong sighed: "Please rest assured that your princess, I will not abandon the people who have followed us all the way! Since I have made a promise to them, a gentleman will not be able to pursue his words! Of course, Li will not break his promise!"

Princess Kunxing raised her head and said in surprise: "Then I will thank Wu Wei Bo for my father and the people outside!"

What a kind and good girl. In the original time and space, she was cut off one arm by Chongzhen and later sent to Zhou Shixian's house. Zhou Shixian's father was worried about causing trouble and wanted to throw her out. Fortunately, Li Zicheng did not make things difficult for her. After the Qing army entered the pass, Princess Kunxing originally wanted to become a monk and a nun, but Dorgon disagreed and asked her to marry Zhou Shixian, and Shunzhi made her Princess Changping. However, a few years after the marriage, she died of depression because she missed her father and mother.

In this time and space, such things are no longer suitable for it, and Princess Kunxing's arm is still fine. Before, Zhang Shuheng secretly replaced Chongzhen's sword in order to worry about an accident.

After Li Guodong finished speaking, he turned around and shouted: "Open the city gate and put the people in the city!"

"Master! No!" Feng Yuanyang shouted, "Cao Junmen is right. If the people are involved in the thief, we will be jealous of death. Your Majesty will be in danger! And your princess, you will be in danger!"

"Master, you must not!" Cao Youyi also came up to dissuade him.

Chongzhen sighed: "The people are waiting for death in despair. I am guilty. It is me who have caused the people to fall to this point! Li Aiqing is right, please save these people." As he said that, Chongzhen was already in tears.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

Cao Huachun, Feng Yuanfeng, Wang Cheng'en, Su Guansheng, Cao Youyi and other loyal ministers knelt down one after another. In order to show his loyalty, Zhang Shuheng also knelt down. In fact, only Li Guodong and him knew that he was a double-faced spy.

"As for what you all said, there may be thieves among the refugees. I believe that Li Aiqing and Zhang Aiqing will handle this matter well!" Chongzhen waved his sleeves decisively.

Li Guodong turned his head and saluted Chongzhen again and said, "Your Majesty is wise! If you keep the people outside the city, once the bandit army arrives, the people outside the city will be attacked by the bandit army as refugees and consume our army's materials to defend the city. Instead of letting them be used by the bandit army, it is better to put them in the city! Instead of entering the south city, you can only enter the north city."

"Li Aiqing, I believe in you, and I give you full authority to supervise this matter!"

Li Guodong shouted: "Open the gate of Beicheng and put the refugees in the city! Close the gate of Nancheng and do not put them in the south city. The Jinyiwei also helped to identify the spies of the thief army from the refugees! The city organized people and set up a pot to cook porridge. Also, Brother Yulin (Su Guansheng), you will take the fleet to Dagu Weicheng and transport the grain stockpiled in Dagu to Tianjin!"

Su Guansheng looked at the face of a difficult face: "Dagu grain is the season when the canal lock is closed. The grain sent to the capital by sea are all imperial grains prepared to be sent to the capital..."

"Imperial grain? At this time, the grain is still sent to the capital, are you going to the enemy?" Li Guodong sneered.

"Yes, the official will transport the food back now!" Su Guansheng retreated.

In winter and early spring, the Guazhou ship locks were closed and the Yangtze River ships could not enter the canal, but it did not mean that the transportation of grain had stopped completely. There was also a small amount of grain heading north on the sea route and then transported to Dagukou. Dagukou stocked up a lot of grain sent from the south, but because the capital was besieged by the thief army, it was stocked up in Dagukou and not sent to the capital. At this time, Li Guodong happened to ask Su Guansheng to deliver all the grain to Tianjin.

Li Guodong crossed the floating bridge, entered the north city, and climbed to the top of the city. He saw the dark people outside the city stretching their necks and looking at the closed city gate with anticipation.

At this time, the suspension bridge slowly lowered, the city gate opened, and groups of people immediately rushed into the city.

In the crowded and chaos, many people screamed and fell into the cold and bone-blazing river water. In a blink of an eye, they were swallowed by the surging river water.

"Ah!" Princess Kunxing, who was following Li Guodong, climbing the city tower at some point, saw countless people falling into the river and swallowing it up by the river, screaming in shock.

"Your Highness, the south city comes to the north city and you have to cross the Haihe floating bridge. You come to the north city, it's dangerous!" Li Guodong said worriedly.

"Yu'er is fine. After this incident, Yiu'er has been considered a person who has died once." Looking at the struggling people on the river, Princess Kunxing said: "Wuweibo, can you go down to save a few people?"

"No!" Li Guodong shook his head firmly, "The thief army is coming, and the city is short of staff. We still need to keep people to defend the city. It is impossible to save every citizen. Princess, it is already very good that we can do this."

Zhu Mai said in tears: "The father worked diligently, worked day and night, saved money, and paid all the money he saved, but why are the people still so poor?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not wrong, but are the people who cannot survive and rebel wrong? They are not wrong either! The real guilty are the nobles in the court! Including your grandfather, your princess! You know the matter between the prince and the two princes, right?"

Princess Kunxing nodded with tears, bit her teeth, clenched her fists, and said with grief: "Everyone knows that the emperor's brother was presented to the thief by Zhu Chunchen; the two younger brothers were also presented to the thief by grandfather! The father treats them well, and Eunuch doesn't know why they are so heartless and why they have to repay their grudges!"

"In the 276th year of the Ming Dynasty's raising scholars, he raised such a group of wolves and hearts! When I go to Nanjing in the south, I must kill all these traitors!" Emperor Chongzhen was standing behind him at some point. After hearing Li Guodong's words, he gritted his teeth.

"Your Majesty!" Li Guodong hurriedly knelt down.

The soldiers on the city wall also knelt down and saluted: "Long live my emperor!"

Chongzhen appeared at the top of the city and heard the sound of long live the mountains on the top of the city. The originally chaotic refugees didn't care about the crowd and knelt down one after another.

"Dear my people, please come to the city!" Chongzhen opened his arms and shouted loudly.

A mountain shouted long live the sound of the city. The emperor was pressing on the top of the city, and the refugees were no longer crowded. They spontaneously lined up and entered the city one by one. Not long after, the outer city of the north city was already crowded with people and could no longer accommodate more people. The north city of Tianjin was just a small military fort, and the real center was in the south city, so the center of Tianjin later was also on the south bank of Haihe River. More than 60,000 people crowded into the small north city, but it was still in the outer city, and it was suddenly crowded.

After the city gate was closed, Zhang Shuheng's Jinyiwei began to get busy, identifying among the people, and really found out many spies who were inserted into it.

The city gate of Beicheng has just been closed, and Li Yan's 20,000 troops have arrived outside Beicheng.

Li Yan sent a message to the city: "Wuwei Bo, you are kind and kind, and love the people as your son. Students have heard of it. Today, Dayue’s destiny has ended. Your Majesty, the destiny of Emperor Dashun, is the destiny of heaven. Shun, responding to the people. If Wuwei Bo is willing to hand over the foolish monarch, you will still be glorious and wealthy in my Dashun!"
