When recovering the stolen goods, the first official to be killed was Li Guozhen, the Ming Dynasty's uncle who led the soldiers of the three major camps of Beijing to surrender outside Beijing.

This guy was the most favored minister in the late Chongzhen period. On weekdays, other ministers knelt down to report matters, and he was the only one standing beside the emperor, making others look at him very arrogant.

Therefore, from the list of people who Chongzhen has always trusted, we can see that the Ming Dynasty is hopeless: Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru, Chen Yan, Wei Zaode, and Li Guozhen, who are these?

When Li Zicheng first met Li Guojian outside Beijing, he had no good impression of him and scolded him and said, "You are the emperor's kindness and should fight for the country to die. I didn't expect that you are the first to surrender to the city. Are you a human?"

He immediately ordered someone to tie this guy up tightly. Li Guozhen cried and begged for surrender. Li Zicheng cursed: "Bastard, wait for death." With Li Zicheng's words, Liu Zongmin was the first to come to him.

Liu Zongmin first tortured Li Guozhen, roasted it slowly on low heat, smashed it with pain for a night, and tortured it for a night, and finally tortured the Lord Li to death.

This is not the end. Liu Zongmin led his soldiers into his house. Hundreds of people raped Li Guozhen's wife and all the women in the house. Then he hugged Li Guozhen's wife naked on the horse, walked on the street and shouted: "Come and see, this is the wife of Li Guozhen, the lord of Xiangcheng!" The soldiers laughed while shouting, pinched their breasts and stabbed their vaginas, "No more humiliating than this."

As for Feng Ruoshu's cheap father-in-law Chen Yan and Wei Zaode, we should also talk about it.

Chen Yan is a "former Grand Secretary" and has stopped his appearance in early March for lying about military achievements. He originally wanted to escape from Beijing, but he did not expect that Zhu Hongsan would cut off his retreat and the ship was snatched away.

Chen Yan heard at home that the Dashun Army sought silver. The Grand Secretary who donated ten taels of silver during the Chongzhen period took the initiative to send 40,000 taels of silver to Liu Zongmin first.

Old Liu liked his "generous" and did not immediately impose an additional sentence on him. Unexpectedly, Chen Yan was usually mean to his servants and was reported by his servants, saying that he had tens of thousands of silver hidden underground in his house. Liu Zongmin led his people to dig the ground, and it turned out that the ground in the yard was full of silver.

Liu Zongmin was furious and began to punish the lords, but in the end he made hundreds of taels of gold and the pearls became a fight. Even so, before leaving Beijing, Li Zicheng beheaded Chen Yan and a group of ministers of honor and relatives.

Grand Secretary Wei Zaode, the top scholar who was selected by Chongzhen Palace, made him the chief assistant after three years. He was known for his heavenly soldiers on paper, but after becoming prime minister, he did not come up with any good ideas to Emperor Chongzhen, and only knew how to flatter and flatter.

Originally, because he was a senior official, he arranged a prison cell for him. Unexpectedly, Lord Wei was an official fan and said through the crack of the door: "If the new dynasty wants to use me as an official, let me go and don't lock me here."

This reminded Liu Zongmin that there was another high-ranking official. Next, Liu Zongmin brought Wei Zaode into the hall for interrogation. First, he put on a stick and asked while clamping: "Aren't you the prime minister? Is this country's stoop-like appearance your responsibility?"

Wei Zaode said while howling: "I am a scholar. I don't know how to govern the country. It's because of the incompetent emperors. This country is like this."

Liu Zongmin looked down on these stinky old masters the most. He heard what he said, "Chongzhen asked you to be the top scholar, and he would be the chief minister for three years. Do you still say that the country is incompetent to the emperor? Are you still a human?"

So General Liu came down from the court and slapped Wei Zaode dozens of mouths. Seeing this, the soldiers pulled the stick hard, and Old Wei's ten fingers broke.

In panic and pain, Wei Zaode shouted: "I have a daughter, I wish to give it to the general as a concubine!" Liu Zongmin was happy to hear that, and called someone to pick up his daughter, raped her, and sent her to the military camp, and let the sergeant gang be traitor (Ms. Chen San sighed at her good luck).

However, Liu Zongmin was even more disdainful of Wei Zaode, who offered his daughter, and ordered the soldiers to step up their plunder. He "served" for a total of six days and six nights. In the end, Wei Zaode's head was cracked by a punishment plate and his brain leaked out and died.

When Wei Zaode died, Liu Zongmin arrested his son for silver. Xiao Wei kowtowed and said, "I really have no silver in my family. If my father is alive, he can still borrow silver from his disciples. Now that he is dead, where can I find silver?"

When Liu Zongmin heard what he said, he raised his hand and cut off Xiao Wei's head.

The poor officials of the Hanlin and the Censor of the Ming Dynasty were the most unlucky. They could not produce any oil and water in their families and were mostly killed by plunder.

Liu Zongmin set up dozens of people in front of the gate and killed people here every day. No matter whether it is officials, rich people or residents, as long as they seem to have money at home, they will definitely be invited here to be sentenced.

What’s ridiculous is that Liu Zongmin and other military generals killed people every day, and Niu Jinxing promoted "civilization" with great success. He gave a fixed question and held a big test to "seek talents and recruit talents" for the new dynasty. There were three test questions: "The world returns to be benevolence", "Come to China and comfort the four barbarians", and "The good fortune of God's blessing is not bad."

For a time, the stinky old nine officials from Shuntian Prefecture came to take the exam one after another and filled the market. A few unlucky ones were caught by soldiers because of their bright clothes and torture and seek silver.

After several days of recovering the stolen goods, Li Zicheng received more than 70 million taels of silver, and all of them were allowed to remel and cast into huge square-shaped silver plates with holes in the middle for easy transportation.

Seventy million taels are really not a small number. Emperor Chongzhen added more than ten years of salary and collected only 20 million taels of silver from the people, which resulted in the demotion of the people and the country's destruction.

Li Zicheng spent 70 million taels in one Beijing. Hearing this, Zhu Hongsan couldn't help but think: "It seems that the search of the house is indeed a way to make money."

Because there was no food in Beijing, Li Zicheng's "old camp" had to eat some coarse rice, horses and beans as food. These old brothers who followed Li Zicheng to revolt together to conquer the world thought that the "King of Breaking" was not good enough, so they made an appointment to go out to plunder and plunder, and went to the folk houses to grab money and lust.

In Anfu Hutong alone, there were more than 300 women who were raped to death overnight.

These mud-legged soldiers naturally did not care about the treasures in the palace. They used the exquisite and huge palace kilns in the palace as a manger, and dismantled the fine wood doors and windows to make fire. They saw the rare and carved rhino horn cups in the warehouse. The soldiers used the larger ones to pound garlic and the smaller ones to inject soybean oil as lamps. They didn't know that this thing was priceless.

In mid-April, Li Zicheng was very unhappy when he heard that Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan refused to be recruited. He wanted Liu Zongmin and Li Jin to lead his army to fight, but the two generals were greedy for the pleasures of the capital and shook their heads and refused to respond.

There was no choice but to fight in person. At the same time, he ordered the execution of more than 100 Ming Dynasty ministers headed by Grand Secretary Chen Yan at Pingzemen, and sent troops to transport the complete trucks of silver and brigades to be looted from Beijing to "Xijing" (Xi'an).

Originally, Li Zicheng thought that Wu Sangui had only 30,000 troops and all the elite troops of the old camp were brought by him. He was not as powerful as he could. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by the Qing Dynasty's big braid in front of Shanhai.

Next, Li Zicheng lost all the way and fled and returned to Beijing on the 26th. On the 29th, Li Zicheng held a throne ceremony in Wuying Hall, and the next day he withdrew from Beijing on the name of worshiping the sky in the suburbs.

On the second day of May, the Qing army entered Beijing.

Feng Ruoshu's words kept talking until the sun sets westward. Zhu Hongsan knew that Li Zicheng was going to get these ministers in Beijing, but he didn't expect it to be so bloody. He couldn't help but say: "It seems that this bandit Li Zicheng still has no big prospects and only recognizes silver."

Feng Ruoshu glanced at him and said, "Oh? What should I do if the lord changed to enter the capital?"

Zhu Hongsan took a sip of wine and said, "It's very simple. Find a reason to search the Grand Secretary, Shangshu, and all the nobles. Then give the official position to intermediate officials, and make money when everyone is promoted and made money. How great is this."

Feng Ruoshu couldn't help but stutter when he heard Zhu Hongsan say this. He didn't expect this guy to use this ruthless move, but this move was also the fastest to work. After the intermediate officials were promoted and made a fortune, they naturally felt a sense of belonging to the new dynasty.

Feng Ruoshu continued to ask, "What about Wu Sangui? What is the lord who wants to treat him?"

Zhu Hongsan said: "He is a little difficult to deal with. If I must agree to all his conditions, I can be called king. Li Zicheng is confused. What's the point of detaining his father? The person who does big things cares about his family and relatives.

After stabilizing Wu Sangui, it took several years to restore northern production and at the same time sent troops to occupy a large area north of the Yellow River. When the new army was trained, it was not a big deal for Wu Sangui to be stronger than the Qing Dynasty. To put it bluntly, the problem of Wu Sangui was still the problem of the Qing Dynasty. If the problem of the Qing Dynasty was not solved, there would be no solution."

Feng Ruoshu was quite satisfied with this answer. However, Zhu Hongsan still didn't say anything in his heart. Now he is invincible in the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty in East Asia and can basically not be defeated by cold weapons.
