After Chongzhen died, he refused to return to Nancheng, so he wanted to watch the battle in Beicheng, watching how the rioters outside the city were killed. He was the emperor, and as long as he refused to leave, who could persuade him to move? At this time, Li Guodong couldn't help but miss the benefits of censors. If there were a group of censors here, I'm afraid that any Emperor of Ming, except Taizu and Chengzu, would be afraid.

Although Zhengde and Tianqi could make eunuchs pick up knives to deal with censors, in the court, a group of censors fired fire at the emperor could still make them afraid. Therefore, eunuchs also needed to form cliques and join the eunuch party to deal with other civil servants. Wanli was frightened by censors so much that they did not dare to attend court for thirty years.

Since Chongzhen refused to leave Beicheng, Li Guodong had no choice. He thought in his mind: If Beicheng could not be defended, he would take Chongzhen's family to take a boat to hide on the sea for the time being, and then make the next plan.

The young and strong among the refugees who were taken in by Li Guodong to the North City of Tianjin were organized. There were countless swarms of rockets in Tianjin, which came in handy at this time. If those refugees who had not been trained had used bows and arrows, they could not draw the bows and shoot them correctly; if they used bird guns, they could not even load them, let alone shoot them accurately. These swarms of rockets were particularly suitable for these refugees.

The young and strong people moved out a tube of rockets from the warehouse in the North City and moved them to the top of the city. Even women and children were busy to help carry the rockets.

"His Majesty the Emperor is watching us. The Emperor treats us so kindly, we must protect the Emperor Ming!" The young and strong men were very motivated and vowed to protect the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, this is our people. As long as they can keep them alive, they will not rebel; as long as you have some kindness to them, they are willing to devote all their lives." Li Guodong pointed to the busy people and said to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen nodded softly and gritted his teeth and said, "I only realized that all the princes in the court have been killed, and there are not many unjust accusations!"

"Of course there are unfair people who kill them all. They line up in a row, kill one at a distance, and some people who miss the net."

In Weibei City, Tianjin, the fierce offensive and defensive battle began.

Although the clothes worn by the people who were pushing various siege weapons step by step were worn out and covered with mud, they looked dirty and torn, they could vaguely see that the clothes on them were made of superior materials, and some people could still see hanging gold wires on their ragged clothes. It was obvious that these guys who were regarded as cannon fodder were all gentry and rich people.

"Blow me hard!" Li Guodong shouted.

He had no good impression of these gentry who were usually arrogant and prosperous. In fact, Li Guodong was not a person who hated the rich. However, these rich people used unreasonable systems to deceive superiors and subordinates, did not pay taxes to the court, bully the people, and forced the people to get rich. Because their non-payment of taxes, the tax was transferred to self-cultivated farmers and small landlords. Many small and medium-sized landlords who worked diligently to start a business and earned a little money were bankrupt.

"Let me go!" Wang Chengen, who was in charge of commanding the refugees, shouted with a sharp voice.

The young and strong people lit rockets one after another, like thunder rolling past in the sky, thick smoke rose from the city wall, and the overwhelming rain of arrows pierced at the cannon fodder teams.

The power of arrows driven by gunpowder is much greater than that of bows and arrows. Not to mention those gentry cannon fodder without any protection, even elite soldiers wearing thick armor cannot stop the rockets. Although the accuracy of the rockets is very poor, the rockets are dense and the people under the city are even denser.

The rockets dragged white smoke and spit out flames with various ballistics, pulled out white lines in the air, and the rockets pierced into the crowd of the gentry cannon fodder team, causing a bloody storm.

The landlords and wealthy people who were pushing carts under the city were quickly beaten to pieces, with many casualties.

"Ah!" A middle-aged man in silk yelled in horror, turned around and ran away.

Behind him, a riot soldier wearing a mandarin duck battle jacket and a goose yellow and red tassel felt hat, raised his sword and slashed off the head of the juren with one knife.

This soldier was a surrendered by the Ming army. When they were in the Ming army, although they killed good people and robbed the people, they did not dare to attack the landlord Laocai at all. Otherwise, once the civil officials in the court impeached the soldiers, they would not have to cut off the heads of several soldiers to apologize? But now they have joined the crusade army, so there are no more concerns. The landlord Laocai's home wants to go in and rob them whenever they want; the landlord Laocai's daughter-in-law will take it away when they like it; now they have brought these landlord Laocai whom they dared not provoke before and acted as cannon fodder, and the soldier feels indescribable.

Why did Kong Youde rebel? He was not forced by the landlord Laocai.

Before the gentry cannon fodder died, the rebel army had already filled the trenches in Weibei City, Tianjin. Next, the surrendered soldiers of the Ming army came on the stage.

Liu Zongmin, with a bearded face, was responsible for the formation. Ming army surrendered generals such as Tang Tong and Bai Guangen were afraid when they saw Liu Zongmin with a fat face, and could only obediently let his soldiers go up and be cannon fodder. In fact, for these surrendered futures, they were not afraid of sending soldiers as cannon fodder. As long as their servants were not damaged, no matter how many ordinary soldiers died, they would not hurt the roots. They would just be killed. There was little food in troubled times, and people with two legs were still everywhere?

"kill!"

"Capture Tianjin and capture the foolish monarch alive!"

"Catch the foolish monarch alive, and the King of Breaking will be rewarded!"

"Catch the foolish lord alive! Kill!"

The rioters in groups wore red mandarin duck battle jackets and goose yellow red tassel felt hats shouted excitedly, holding shields and carrying simple cloud ladders, rushing towards the city wall.

Seeing the Ming army surrendered soldiers wearing red mandarin duck battle jackets rushing up, Li Guodong was not ruthless at all when he ordered the fire. Only these soldiers of the former Ming army followed their chief generals and were capricious. They were originally imperial officers and soldiers, but they surrendered without fighting and surrendered to the thieves. Later, the Qing army entered the pass, and they transformed into Qing army green camp soldiers! Li Guodong would not feel sorry for these potential traitors.

"Beat! Beat me hard! Kill these traitors!" Li Guodong shouted.

Seeing that the banners raised by the rebels under the city included Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, Zhu Chunchen, and former Ming generals such as Li Guozhen, Chongzhen's eyes were red: "Kill them all! Rebels! A group of traitors! A bunch of traitors! Am I not good to them? These wolves and dogs! Conscience was eaten by dogs!"

"Kill the thief! Kill the thief!" The defenders at the city gate shouted in unison.

The young and strong people on the city wall ignited rockets one after another, and swarms flew out like hornets in the nest. The bird guns, turtledove-foot guns, tiger squat cannons, and the Folang aircraft also fired. The arrows roared and the bullets were like rain. The rushing troops were shot and arrows one after another. A large number of Ming army surrendered soldiers wearing red mandarin duck battle jackets fell down, and another group rushed up from behind.

"There are too many thieves!" Wang Chengen said.

"Please rest assured, the thief wants to climb up the city unless he crawled over the corpse of the grass man!" said a young and strong man holding a spear.

While talking, the vanguard of the Dashun Army had already rushed through the filled moat and rushed to the bottom of the city, and simple ladders were placed on the top of the city.

On the top of the city, the young and strong men threw down lime bottles infused with water. The lime bottles exploded among the crowd of soldiers. Sharp fragments mixed with boiling lime flew across the city. Large groups of surrendered Ming soldiers screamed and covered their eyes and fell under the city.

Several tinned oil tanks hit the city top, and then the lit rocket was shot down, and a huge fire suddenly ignited under the city.

More than a dozen young men pushed a winch hard and pushed down a cliff that had ladders. One young men pulled the handle and the wolf teeth hanging on the top of the winch fell down.
