Chapter 900 Li Zicheng's pride and confusion!

Although there were several camps in the capital, although the number of troops was set at more than 100,000, there were more than 100,000 soldiers in the second squad of Spring and Autumn.

However, the various problems and the number of soldiers and horses in the current emperor after the migration of the south was hard to say. The amount of troops in the Beijing camp has always been a confusing account, especially when he learned that Li Zicheng's million-dollar army was coming soon!

A few days later, the bandits explored their horses to Da'an Station, the capital.

The prefectures and counties were appointed in various places, and each official sent a card to the prefectures and counties first. Many places came for the new dynasty, took advantage of the situation and chased them, holding incense to welcome them, and the rumors were heard from far and near were crazy.

In the Forbidden City, all the dark ministers and workers stood silently, feeling a burst of sadness and helplessness in their hearts.

Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo who was left behind in Beijing, was known as a descendant of a famous general in the country, but in fact he was just a playboy.

(Zhu Chunchen (?--1644), a nobleman in the late Ming Dynasty, inherited the Duke of Chengguo. His ancestors were Zhu Neng, a famous general, who made countless contributions to the battles in the south and north, and was granted the Duke of Chengguo. After his death, he was posthumously named King Dongping.)

In the original history, Zhu Chunchen Xian Qi Huamen (i.e. Chaoyangmen) and Chen Yan made an appeal to persuade him to advance. He surrendered to Li Zicheng. As a result, after a few days, Li Zicheng was sent to confiscate his house and make a fortune, and his whole family was executed.

At this time, Emperor Zhu Zi and Long moved south.

All the officials in the capital immediately retreated back to their homes, staying in their doors, and never cared about the world from then on. Most of the people who could run away were honest officials, corrupt officials had rich family backgrounds, and many of their property could not be taken away, so they could only leave here to fate.

When Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Chunchen heard that Li Zicheng would come to attack soon.

In addition to being scared, in order to protect his family's wealth, he could only bite the bullet and sit in the Wucheng Military Office. He discussed with a group of military officers in the Beijing camp for a long time, and finally discussed some regulations.

The next day, the order was ordered to all the soldiers and horses in the capital to come to the city and defend closely.

At the same time, I was worried. I ordered the servants and handymen from all the yamen in the capital to go to the city to defend the city.

Also, lanterns are hung at the doors of each house to strictly prevent spies; everyone is not allowed to go out to the streets at will, and violators will be asked immediately!

It just sounds good, but it's all right.

There was no emperor in the capital, and the imperial court's prestige was gone in the capital. The servants and officials from various yamen made the remaining officials and Duke Cheng experience what it means to do in Hedong for thirty years and Hexi for thirty years, who would not?

In the past, they disobeyed the emperor and the empress, but now it is the other people's turn to disobey them.

In the end, a few people in the capital were forced to recruit the soldiers and were driven to the city to guard the city with trembling trembling.

But can these people who are not even militiamen help defend the city?

…………

At this moment, the Ming Dynasty capital is not far away.

At the foot of the mountain, the martial arts field is very large, and it can arrange troops to form hundreds of thousands of troops. However, the Dashun Kingdom has a large number of troops. There were 800,000 people some time ago, but now there may be 900,000, so it is said that one million is true, but cannon fodder accounts for the majority.

Li Zicheng didn’t know the actual specific numbers, and his younger brothers didn’t know either. He just knew the approximate number of his old camp soldiers!

The old camp is an elite soldier selected from hundreds of thousands of troops. They have all seen blood, killed countless people, and threw them in peacetime, which means extreme terrorists.

These people formed a huge military formation. The crowds were like the sea and the flags were like forests. Their arrays were endless and fierce!

The military parade here is also what Li Zicheng means.

It means that it formally captures the capital of Daming, which has historic significance. He even believes that this is a good name for the founding of the country for their Dashun Kingdom.

On the general's stage, Li Zicheng wore the costume of the Ming Dynasty prince (stolen from the invading Ming Dynasty prince's mansion).

He sat upright on the royal chair with high spirits, with dense Shunguo generals, six government officials, and surrendered local officials of the Ming Dynasty. He also had a few senses of founding a country!

There were dense old camp generals and soldiers, as well as countless cannon fodder soldiers. In terms of number, they were considered to be an alternative person with strong horses.

Further away, there are a large number of local gentry and celebrities who are called to watch the ceremony. (If you don’t come, you will kill your whole family, you won’t be able to come. You have to cooperate with Li Zicheng’s costume competition)!

Some of these people have complicated expressions, while others are excited to talk.

Li Zicheng no longer killed all the landlords. As long as he surrendered quickly, he could still save some people and work for him as a traitor. Obviously, this is because he now thinks he is going to establish a country, so he keeps pace with the times.

Such a grandeur immediately made everyone think a lot.

"Oh, is it possible that the Ming Dynasty really needs to change its dynasty?"

On the stage, Niu Jinxing, the new Prime Minister of the Dashun Kingdom, standing beside Li Zicheng, was reading the imperial edict with great ambitions.

"Zhu Ming is isolated, but like Yang, there are many people who are blind. All the ministers do private affairs, and those who are less loyal than the party are following the crowd. The fat and cream of the left side of the village are exhausted. The princes and marquis are all meat-eating and playing the people, while those who are private are relying on the hearts of the people. The eunuchs are all disgusting dogs and pigs, and they use their ears and eyes to conquer the world... Now, the king is clear, and there is no intention to establish a country, so I just want to stand on the west side of the mountain."

The meaning of this edict is actually that I had no intention of becoming an emperor, but there were too many villains around the wise king, which would harm the people to live or die.

So, I was the one who stood up for the heavens and petitioned for the people. The same is true for taking over the capital now. If the emperor could make me become king in several provinces in Shanxi afterwards, we would continue to do other things if we didn't see them.

This is what you mean by giving yourself a legitimate name and self-restraint.

In fact, Li Zicheng did not have that great ambition in his original history.

Back then, Li Zicheng's army had already surrounded the capital. Before siege, Li Zicheng sent Chongzhen a peace talks letter, as long as Chongzhen granted himself the title of King of the Northwest and split the land and granted the title of marquis.

He also gave 1 million taels of silver to return to the northwest and obeyed the rule of the Ming Dynasty. He also called Chongzhen the emperor, and never harassed other territory of the Ming Dynasty, and only sought separatism.

This is incredible in history books in later generations. Modern people read it.

Because modern people do not have emperors or three mountains, they do not have much awe of the emperor.

Therefore, modern people in later generations have always been a little confused. Why did Chongzhen refuse? Li Jicheng has such generous terms of peace talks?

As long as you agree, this peace talks book.

He could not only protect the Ming Dynasty court and his own dragon court, but also be the emperor in terms of status. Moreover, Li Zicheng expressed nominal obedience, and Chongzhen's rule was called the "King of the Northwest". He had both face and inner qualities, so why did Chongzhen refuse?

If he did not agree, Li Zicheng could go straight to the capital, that is, when Li had already occupied the absolute dominance of the war. Instead of going directly to the capital to proclaim himself emperor, he would hand in a peace talks and requesting Emperor Chongzhen to be the king. There would be no deception, and Chongzhen still refused.

In the past, whether it was Li Zicheng or Chongzhen, they were all second-tier and were crazy?

But it's not surprising to think about it carefully.

Li Zifeng was a Youko person. He had no confidence in becoming an emperor. When he was blocked by Sun Chuanting in attacking Tongguan and could not fight, he even thought of not fighting and withdrew his troops.

Having self-knowledge is not a piece of material.

But why later, I thought I was thinking of the emperor again, but I was just a little bit too smooth and the Ming Dynasty was too unsatisfied.

On the other hand, Chongzhen made two mistakes in military affairs: First, when fighting on both sides, he had to negotiate peace with the Later Jin in any case. In fact, in the early Chongzhen period, the Later Jin and Li Zicheng did not have the confidence to seize the Ming Dynasty. They were both bandits. As long as they negotiate peace with the Later Jin and then make every effort to deal with the civil unrest!

Secondly, given the long-term disaster-affected areas, military rebellion will kill all the civilians regardless of whether they surrender or not. This can reduce the population and avoid the resurgence of civilians.

After all, these people don’t have a plug-in like Zhu Zilong that can travel through time. If you don’t do this, it will be inevitable that everyone will finish playing.

...

At this moment, Li Zicheng had decided to march to the capital.

Although there were many soldiers and horses, Li Zicheng was not worried about food and grass. Because he went north and had too many prefectures and counties, he could solve the big problems needed by the army.

What's more, you can also use the capital to conquer the capital, and you will definitely have a big reward to increase your morale.

The only thing that worried him was that the capital was strong and the guards were numerous. Even if the emperor was gone, he might not be able to attack for a while. Once the battle was a protracted war, his army of thieves might change for a long time.

At most two or three months, you must conquer the capital and cooperate with the Later Jin Dynasty to be able to do so. It will be a good start and end, otherwise the consequences will be difficult to say.

In Chinese history, it was very dangerous to go north to take the capital, but only Zhu Yuanzhang did it.

Li Zicheng's situation was somewhat similar to that of the time, but a little different. In order to avoid the long night and dreams, he had the intention of not being the emperor for the time being. He just wanted to be the real king in the future as a way out.

After the edict was read, the military formation below made a shocking cry:

"Long live! Long live! Long live!" "Long live! Long live! Long live! Long live!" "Long live! Long live! Long live! Long live!"

"Long live the King of Dashun!" "Long live the King of Dashun!" "Long live the King of Dashun!"

The sound of long live in the sea was rising and falling, and the huge howling sound soared into the sky, making the people watching the ceremony tremble unconsciously.

The generals of each battalion, Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang, Liu Xiyao, Yuan Zongdi, Li Guo and others were proud and calm, thinking that capturing the capital would definitely be successful. The Ming army's strong army was completely restrained by the Later Jin near Shanhaiguan, and other strong army was also restrained by the border and other places.

For them, it is a good opportunity from heaven!

The Ming Dynasty officials and generals who surrendered also calmed down the scene in front of them. They sighed: "The rebel army is so elite, it seems that it is no problem to destroy the Ming Dynasty. Our surrender is actually a good bird to choose trees to live in!"

"First rob the capital and wait for some time. The new dynasty will soon be in power. At that time, we will be the heroes of the dragon."

Half a day later, Li Zicheng's military parade ended.

The army set out, with noisy people and horses neighing, flags covering the sky, and walking like long dragons, it was a bit of a superficial new atmosphere.

Li Zicheng saw the flags like the sea, the tide of people was constantly moving forward, and he was strong and was secretly proud.

At the same time, he was excited and confused, was he really going to destroy the Ming Dynasty?

It is said that conquering the world is easy, but difficult to sit in the world.

Whenever night comes, Li Zicheng will think. If the army cannot rob at all times, there will be many problems, and even internal parts are broken. If this country is in the country, it will not rob you everywhere. Can you really do it?
