I had heard about the prosperity of Jinling City, but when Li Xiao entered the city, he saw it was devastated. Jinling City looked like a severely tortured prisoner, with wounds all over his body.

Almost all buildings have traces of being hit by bullets, and thick smoke is rising from countless houses. The ground is littered with uncollected corpses. Rats are running on the streets in broad daylight, but the living have to hide everywhere for fear of being found.

Rats gnawed at the broken limbs scattered all over the streets, and people in the dark were catching rats everywhere to satisfy their hunger.

The majestic palace wall stands in the center of Jinling City. The palace built by Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang lies there quietly like a giant beast from ancient times. Well...a giant beast from ancient times with missing front teeth!

The red lacquer door studded with copper nails was broken into eight pieces, with footprints all over them. Some of the pieces had burnt marks. The inside of the urn was almost filled with corpses. The walls were covered with shocking blood stains and various human organs.

Scattered on the stone slabs, the fishy smell can make people faint. Countless flies breed freely here. When Li Xiao walks over, the "buzz" and "buzz" of flies has the effect of a bomber.

After entering the palace, Li Xiao even felt a headache. There were eunuchs and maids running around in the distance, as well as countless Ma Shiying's men, searching everywhere like hounds.

Who are you playing with?

When it comes to Ma Shiying, it means whoever leads the troops.

Li Xiao absolutely does not believe that these sneaky guys are exercising to strengthen their physique to resist pneumonia.

"Bring those soldiers here." Li Xiao pointed his horsewhip, and Zu Kuan urged his horse and ran over.

Those soldiers wanted to resist, but when they saw that the cavalry was holding a long-barreled revolver, they immediately became obedient. They knew that the long-barreled revolver was the standard equipment of the Liao Army. They would join the Liao Army in the future.

, be sure not to offend these gentlemen.

"Search!" When he was pulled in front of Li Xiao, Li Xiao didn't even bother to ask. There were so many bags in his pockets that two of them could hardly walk.

Strings of pearl necklaces, and gold nails. The one who stole a few of them took out two jade pendants from his arms. One of them was covered with blood. If you look closely, you can see the fingerprints printed on the blood.

mold.

"Do you know the three major disciplines and eight points of attention?" Li Xiao said with a cold face.

Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng behind them didn't say a word, they just looked up at the sky. It was as if the people kneeling on the ground were not their soldiers.

A few guys shook their heads in confusion. What are the three major disciplines and the eight points of attention? I’ve never heard of them!

"Everything seized will be returned to the public, don't you know?" Li Xiao looked at these unlucky people coldly.

Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying continued to study the weather. In the distance, their men gathered to watch. The noise was very chaotic, more like bandits than an army.

"My lord, what does it mean that everything captured should be returned to the public? Didn't we capture Jinling and let the brothers live happily for three days?" A foolish and bold man asked boldly. He only knew that the man in front of him was a high-ranking official of the Liao Army, and he did not recognize him.

Who is this person in front of me?

"Asshole, you dare to talk nonsense in front of the commander, I will tear your mouth apart." Hearing the stupid and bold words, Ruan Dacheng was about to faint on the spot. Ma Shiying felt that the blood all over his body was rushing to his head. He was not joking, he was

I really want to tear this stinky mouth to pieces and then pull out my tongue.

"Commander?" Xiaobing still didn't understand. Ma Shiying was his commander-in-chief, and who was this commander-in-chief?

"Forget it! Shoot them on the spot, and give orders not to rob wantonly. Whoever dares to take out anything from the palace will be spared. Ma Shiying, take your soldiers out of the city. Wait for the adaptation!

"Li Xiao gave the order, and Li Hu immediately jumped off the horse. He opened the hammer and shot each of them in the head. The corpses of several soldiers fell to the ground one after another!

"No!" Ma Shiying was so frightened that he was trembling all over. Li Xiao stared at him and killed a living person.

He planned to seize the city for three days when the city fell. He originally planned to take advantage of the city's fall to seize the city for three days, but it was no problem to seize the city for one day. But he never expected that Li Xiao would actually be there at the sound of gunfire.

We entered the city before we even stopped.

Now how to explain to those Qiu Ba has become Ma Shiying's top priority.

Ruan Dacheng saw Ma Shiying's trembling legs and continued to study today's weather. When disaster strikes, they all fly away, and he can't help.

"Ruan Dacheng, you immediately find all the maids and eunuchs in the palace and put them in place. Let them clean the palace. If there are any repairs that need to be made, find someone to repair them. Two hundred years of royal buildings cannot be destroyed in your hands."

"No!" Ruan Dacheng agreed, and after giving Ma Shiying a helpless look, he took his entourage and ran to catch the running maids and eunuchs!

I saw Wen Tiren's body, which was full of holes, not much different from a hornet's nest. After introduction, I found out that the other one was Wen Tiren's nephew, Wen Tao, the commander of the 13th Division. This brother was pretty good, except that half of his chin was missing.

Outside, nothing seems to be wrong. No matter from which angle you look at it, this guy is dead and his body is intact.

"Everyone is dead, let's find a coffin to bury them." After looking at Wen Tiren's body, it turned out that he was already dead, so there was no need to play the trick of exposing the corpse for three days. After three days in this month, people would stink.

"Have you found Emperor Yongli?"

"Report to the Marshal, I found it. He hanged himself to death. His body is in the side hall." Ruan Dacheng ran back very shamelessly, nodded and bowed when talking to Li Xiao, not much different from the Japanese translator in the movie.

"Have you been identified?" Hearing that the person was dead, Li Xiao didn't bother to look. He didn't know Zhu Yujian!

"It has been verified. It is indeed Emperor Yongli."

"Huzi, after all, is also an emperor. You find a few old eunuchs in the palace to restrain him." Li Xiao winked at Li Hu. Li Hu immediately understood and ignored Ruan Dacheng, who was bowing, and led him

The old eunuch was arrested and questioned about the authenticity of the corpse.

"Commander, farewell to the capital, I'm going to lower my rank...!" Li Hu left, and Ruan Dacheng planned to take advantage of this opportunity to get close to each other. He was the one who hung up the body of Emperor Yongli to make sure that there would be no problem with his integrity.

"That's right! After we left the capital, you didn't expect that the Nanming court couldn't survive two years. Thinking about that time, you really can't blame you. Epidemics were rampant in the capital, Shandong, and Hebei, and the Liao army's total number of troops was only five divisions.

Only 50,000 people. What's more, the situation in Shandong is unstable. Who would have thought that I would be able to capture Jinling two years later. The divisions of the Liao army will be rampant all over the world, and they will soon unify the Ming Dynasty.

Having said that, I, Li Xiao, still remember what Mr. Ruan said when he was in the capital!" Li Xiao glanced at Ruan Dacheng with sideways eyes. Ruan Dacheng was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed without saying a word.

"Gong is merit, fault is fault! No matter what, you and Ma Shiying both deserve credit for what happened in Jinling this time. The affairs in the inner palace have been dealt with. I just asked you to summon all the servants in the palace and let them

Guard the palace and don't run around."

"If we go back to the Marshal, this job is not difficult at all. We only need to find the eunuch, the leader of the Shangshan Supervisor, and Shanyi, the leader of the palace maids, and let them do the work. The palace will soon calm down, and the subordinates are worried about the Marshal.

There is no one to serve, so I came here to help. I don’t have any skills, but I have lived in Jinling City for a few years, so I am familiar with the heads and the ground." Every fiber of Ruan Dacheng’s face was trying to show a flattering smile.

Come.

"You do know how to run errands! In this case, Master Ma is gathering his troops and withdrawing outside the city gate to wait for reorganization. I'm afraid he won't be able to do it alone. Since you are familiar with each other, you should go and help." Li Xiao

There was a snort in the nose.

"Promise! I'm going to go right now, go right now." Ruan Dacheng agreed, bowed and saluted quickly, and ran around to help Ma Shiying gather the troops.

After a busy afternoon, the palace finally came to a rest.

"Eunuch Cui Taiyan, the leader of the servant Shangshan Supervisor, came to see the commander. I wonder if the commander wants to pass on the dinner. Will the palace maids be arranged to sleep in the evening?" An old eunuch in his fifties and an old woman also in her fifties.

Grandma stood in front of Li Xiao.

These were the eunuch who was the leader of the Shangshan Supervisor and the female official of the Shangyi Bureau who was in charge of the ladies in the palace. These two people were very capable. After the soldiers withdrew, the two of them quickly stabilized the chaotic situation in the harem. Each palace maid and eunuch returned to their place, and

Quickly take inventory of losses and repair any damaged areas to the best of your ability.

"No need! This is the palace, I can't live here." Li Xiao said as he walked out.

"Commander, you have worked hard for the country, and you are the most qualified to live here...!" Eunuch Cui wanted to say more, but Li Xiao had already walked out of the palace door. It would be bad luck for anyone to find a place to sleep in a place full of corpses!

Li Xiao has important things to do tonight, so he has no time to stay in the palace.

The barracks of Ma Shiying's headquarters outside the city were the original barracks of the Thirteenth Division of the Liao Army. Originally this was the residence of Nie Dahu's troops, and they were vacated in accordance with Li Xiao's order.

Ma Shiying is quite satisfied with being able to live in a ready-made house. Most of the Liao troops outside the city still live in tents. Jinling is known as a stove in the summer. The tents have been exposed to the sun all day, and living there is simply two words -

—suffer.

"It can be seen that the commander-in-chief is still very satisfied with us." Ma Shiying looked at Ruan Dacheng with a smile. During the day, this guy was not a gangster and did not speak for himself. It seemed as if nothing happened.

"That's right, it all depends on the master of the Ministry of War to strategize and command well, and then we can pass the test. Otherwise, our fate... Sigh... Wen Tiren's death was quite miserable. He was shot forty or fifty times. He was beaten with

It was like a sieve, and he had been shot three or four times in the face. He was almost indistinguishable from his human appearance. What a tragic end for a generation of chief ministers!" Ruan Dacheng was filled with emotion when he saw Wen Tiren's body.

"Hmph! Whoever makes him ignorant of current affairs only has the word "getting power" in his head. The smart people who have been ranked as Jinshi are ruined by the word "greed for power". If we don't learn from him, we will make enough money.

, in the future, even if the descendants do not become officials, they will be able to live a wealthy life. Brother Ruan! This is the strategy of life!"

"Listening to your words is better than studying for ten years! Why was it that my brother was not up and down in the officialdom, and all he could think about was the word "power". He fought all day long, but in the end it was all in vain? Mr. Ma, you can see clearly.

Ah!" Ruan Dacheng raised his hands to Ma Shiying and expressed great admiration.

The two people were talking, and suddenly there was a noise outside. It started out as just a quarrel between one or two people, but later it turned into a chaos, and I don't know how many people participated.

"What's going on? Someone is making a noise outside. Even though we handed over our weapons today, military discipline still needs to be observed." Ma Shiying became angry. After all, I am still the one who has the final say here.

"Replying to your lord, some soldiers outside were making a noise. They said that your lord had promised to let them not seal the sword for three days. Now that they haven't finished the robbery in this day, they took them out of the city. They said that your words don't count!" said the gatekeeper outside!

The young officer said a little embarrassed.

Ma Shiying could guess with her buttocks what words those Qiu Ba could say. Maybe the women in her family were greeted by these Qiu Ba in their hearts.

"Sir, the soldiers are clamoring to see you. They can't stop you outside!" Ma Shiying just took a breath secretly, and suddenly someone came in from outside to report.

"Bastards, tell those bastards that if they dare to cause trouble again, they will be arrested and subject to military law." Ma Shiying was so angry that his head was dizzy. This was only the first night, and these soldiers gave themselves eye drops. If Li Li

If Xiao knows that he has no control over the troops, then Li Xiao will definitely look down on him. How can he get high-ranking officials and generous salaries by then?

"Tell the soldiers that we will give them an explanation tomorrow and let them go back to sleep now." Ruan Dacheng is still smart, and the solution now is just a word drag. As long as the time passes, the trouble tomorrow will be Li Xiao's. More than 20,000 yuan

People, whether Li Xiao wants to steam or braise them is up to him. As long as the army is safely handed over to Li Xiao's hands, he doesn't care about the life or death of these people.

"Yes! Tell those people, and I will naturally give them an explanation tomorrow." Ma Shiying was so smart that he immediately understood what Ruan Dacheng meant. It is far easier to delay now than to go out and suppress him.

"No!" the young officer walked out immediately.

But soon, the young officer ran back again. "Sir, those soldiers didn't buy it, and still insisted that you go out to answer the question." When the young officer came in, there were scars on his face, and there was faint blood oozing out.

"Asshole, I am a third-rank minister of the Ministry of War, and they can see him if they want? Let them get out, or military law will be engaged." Ma Shiying was furious. This was an eye medicine. This was purely an eye medicine for himself.

"Immediately send someone to contact the nearby Liao soldiers and tell them that the Nanjing Forbidden Army here is going to rebel. Please send troops quickly, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Ruan Dacheng listened to the voices outside. There were not only 5,000 but also 3,000 troops.

With so many people making trouble together inside, this would be a disaster.

"Sir, we are all surrounded and can't get out."

"No! They're coming." A soldier stumbled in.
