Chapter 21 Your Majesty, Don't Go

"Is this so angry?"

Yang Qing said as if nothing had happened: "I can't stand it? Yes, I just don't understand the rules, I'm so rough and reckless, but I won't deceive Your Majesty with sweet words!"

He was able to wake up Chongzhen with a heavy hammer.

The plan to use troops to suppress the enemy is indeed very deceptive. In fact, the Qing Dynasty can only be considered a border trouble. Although Huang Taiji also entered the pass and plundered, it is difficult for people to believe that they would be able to enter the Central Plains. Although most of the outer Mongolian tribes surrendered to them at this time, the theoretically, the area controlled by the Qing Dynasty had reached Daibei, but the Mongolian tribes could only be said to be vassal. If possible, they would leave at any time or even turn to hostile. The actual area controlled by the Qing Dynasty was still in the northeast, and at most the Korqin tribes were added. In this small ice age, they were actually very difficult. If it were not for traitors such as Shanxi merchants and other traitors transfusions to them by smuggling, even the current population would not be able to support them.

If they had the ability to enter the Central Plains, even Chongzhen might not believe this.

This is completely a snake swallowing an elephant!

On the contrary, Li Zichengzhen wanted to stabilize the north and then recuperate for a few years, but he had this ability. His power had reached Huaibei, and the rest was nothing more than a large army along the canal and the Han River. Zhang Xianzhong controlled Sichuan and could also go down the Three Gorges along the river, which was the case in the north and south of all dynasties.

So what if Chongzhen is tempted?

But such things are not easy to persuade.

Because for Chongzhen, talking about national justice is definitely useless, so we can only start from other aspects. First, Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Tartars as the basis for establishing the Ming Dynasty. As the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, if he borrowed troops from the Tartars, it would be a shame to his ancestors. To put it bluntly, he was taking advantage of Chongzhen's self-esteem. He was still very serious in this regard. Second, he was taking advantage of his current extreme distrust of ministers and even full of hatred, so that he could understand that these rescuers were actually no different from those in Beijing who betrayed him and chased him.

They are all birds of a feather.

They are all lying to him with sweet words, but they are actually betraying him.

It is obvious that Yang Qing succeeded.

"Stop talking about it. Yang Qing is young and reckless, but he is still loyal, but he is just a little speechless!"

Chongzhen said.

"His Majesty……"

Zhang Ruoqi still wants to speak.

What does it mean to be speechless? What do you mean is that he is right in his heart, but he just speaks badly?

"Zhang Qing is also loyal, but he still has a long-term plan to borrow troops. Now the most urgent task is to move the capital to Nanjing first. Even if you borrow troops, you will get Nanjing later. You will talk to Wang Qing, who is the governor of Ji Liao. I will give Li Zicheng another imperial edict, and he will continue to serve as Ji Liao. If you really borrow troops, you can also preside over it."

Chongzhen interrupted him and said perfunctorily.

Whether it is borrowing or not, the most important thing now is to go to Nanjing. As long as he goes to Nanjing, he will be in danger in a short period of time. As for how to go to the north in the future.

Zhang Ruoqi was stunned.

He has gone to Nanjing, so he has made a long-term plan. What's the use of Wang Yongji even if he stays in office?

Li Zicheng would soon replace all the defenders on the front line of the Great Wall with his own confidants, and then transfer the troops of Wu Sangui and others from Shanhaiguan to the mainland. At that time, even if they really had to borrow troops, it would be useless. How could the Qing army save the people from water and fire? In the past, they could invade because the Ming army was too bad, and there were strange things like Yuandudu. However, if the Great Wall line was replaced by Li Zicheng's tiger and wolf soldiers, it would really become a wall of iron. Dorgon wanted to open the defense line, which would be nonsense.

Then the gentry in the north, including his hometown Shandong, could only suffer under Li Zicheng's political power.

Life was worse than death that day.

If only torture some property, everyone can barely endure it, but his slogan is to equalize the fields and exempt food. At this time, the exemption of food has not started to equalize the fields! Once Li Zicheng stabilizes the situation and completely controls the north, what should he do if he starts to exempt food? This cannot be tolerated at all, and the harm must be eliminated.

The only way to eliminate is to borrow troops to suppress the enemy.

If you want to borrow troops, you will only have the next few days. Before the Shun army led by Tian Jianxiu arrived at Shanhaiguan, Chongzhen issued another imperial edict to overthrow it and sent it to Wu Sangui and others. They used this as an excuse to block Tian Jianxiu and ask Dorgon for help. During this period, they stood firm in Shanhaiguan and waited for Dorgon's reinforcements to arrive.

The latter starts from Chenyang and is estimated to be available in less than ten days. In addition, the messenger still has their decision-making time on the way, so the total amount is only twenty days.

It also takes time for Li Zicheng to send troops.

In this way, Wu Sangui and others were in Shanhaiguan for more than ten days, so they could wait until Dorgon's army joined forces inside and outside to defeat Li Zicheng's army in one fell swoop. Then Dorgon led the Qing army and Wu Sangui's army to pursue and go straight to Beijing. The gentry along the way welcomed the king's army. In this way, basically there would be no more surprises in the whole north. The gentry including Shandong can be able to have a prosperous era. Li Zicheng can at most retreat south of the Yellow River or retreat to his hometown in Guanzhong. As for whether it is the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty in Hebei, this is really not very important.

Anyway, it’s enough to get rid of Li Zicheng’s clamping sticks.

But how can I play this now?

This first step is not enough. Without Chongzhen's imperial edict, even if Wu Sangui wanted to do it, he could not explain it to his subordinates! His subordinates were not only his slaves. Most of his subordinates were actually military soldiers in the military farms in Liaodong. These people didn't understand anything else, but they understood the imperial edict. Besides, Wu Sangui was already in between, and his father was still in the hands of Li Zicheng!

It is also difficult for Gaodi to raise the flag of revolt.

After all, Gaodi's subordinates were also recruited by the military soldiers collected in the eastern part of the Jidong area, and these people only recognized the imperial edict. What's more, another Shun army led by Tang Tong was also rushing to Shanhaiguan. He was the former general of Jizhen and had a friendship with the generals of Shanhaiguan. At that time, the gold and silver that had just been tortured from the officials in Beijing were placed in front of the generals of Shanhaiguan, and then they would be even more unlikely to participate in such matters.

It can be said that Chongzhen’s imperial edict is the premise of everything. Now that Chongzhen does not cooperate, it will be impossible to play.

Could it be that after that, he lived a dark life under the rule of Li Zicheng?

Zhang Ruoqi was full of grief and anger!

"Then the north will rely on you!"

Yang Qing bowed to them with a smile.

He smiled a little bit favourable.

Li Yutian looked at him calmly, and although Li Xifeng impeached him, he seemed to have not suffered a big impact. Only Zhang Ruoqi could be said to be like a loss of his parents, completely stunned by this result.

"Where are they?"

Yang Qing asked Lao Wang curiously.

"Li Yutian, Shaanxi Ganzhou, Li Xicheng, Shaanxi Qingyang, Yele Castle."

Lao Wang said.

"Ah, this is a broken can! "

Yang Qing said with clarity.

His voice was not small, at least Li Yutian and others could hear it, and they stood there a little awkwardly.

Whether it is a broken jar or not, Chongzhen would have to stare at them anyway, but Chongzhen would not agree. It was very simple for him to issue an imperial edict, even if he issued an imperial edict, he would continue to run away to Nanjing. In fact, this is what Zhang Ruoqi asked for. They did not think about taking Chongzhen to Shanhaiguan.

But the consequences will be borne by him.

The next result was that these people successfully borrowed troops, and then Dorgon's army went south to defeat Li Zicheng and seize Beijing with Wu Sangui, but would Dorgon return the territory to the Ming Dynasty? This was obviously impossible, so Chongzhen would still lose the north and bear the reputation of humiliating his ancestors and betrayal. Those northern gentry who had become enemies with him might really surrender to Dorgon and attack the south as Yang Qing said. He could not even stop Li Zi CDs. How could he stop them at that time? Of course, Dorgon had no ability to swallow elephants, but Dorgon and the northern gentry could really fight to Nanjing.

At that time, as Yang Qing said, it was impossible for him to be a prisoner.

If they just defeated Li Zicheng...

This is actually the most likely, and I was even more unlucky at that time.

Li Zicheng, who hated his treason, would definitely vent his anger after being driven out of Beijing, such as leading his army to attack Jiangnan. Anyway, he was already in Huaibei at this time, and when the north could not defeat Dorgon, it would be okay to switch to the south. The rest was nothing more than rushing straight to the Yangtze River. If he fought the Yangtze River, he would not be like he was now, but to really give himself a white silk.

If Li Zicheng beat Dorgon...

Not to mention, he, who stabilized the rear, happened to use this as an excuse to attack Nanjing in large numbers.

So no matter how you calculate it, Chongzhen would not get any benefits in borrowing troops to suppress the enemy. It can only be said that he did some good things for the gentry in the north, unless he hoped that the Qing army would cut some land and ask for some money as Zhang Ruoqi said. By the way, Chongzhen was not so naive and ignorant. It might have been possible before, but now he is no longer the fool in the past.

These guys encouraged him to do this without worrying about a retreat. At worst, they would surrender to Dorgon.

But he had no way out. Apart from simply venting his anger and venting his hatred for Li Zicheng, he really couldn't think of a reason for doing so, but at this time he didn't think this guy was more hateful than those of the lords who killed him by any means. On the contrary, let Li Zicheng continue to clamp them with a stick, which made him feel even more comfortable.

Well, he's already degenerate.

In the following time, Zhang Ruoqi struggled desperately, trying to break Chongzhen back again and again. He even sent people out to collect a group of gentry nearby, and ran to kneel outside and cried, asking the emperor not to abandon them, but it was still meaningless.
Chapter completed!
