Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 155 Li Nan Chu Chuang (the second one, ask for tickets, ask for subscription)
At this time, it was May, and the city of Beijing was in a mess, the ground was scorched, it was extremely hot, the willows were falling down, and the grass was withered and yellow.

Not far away, some corpses could be seen vaguely, as well as the red soil soaked in blood, with a bloody smell.

However, before Shunjun left, he set fire to the Forbidden City and left Beijing with great resentment.

In the city of Beijing, it was full of jubilation.

After a lot of torture, civil and military officials, as well as nobles, finally found that Daming was the true love, and they were elated for a while.

The news from Shanhaiguan that Wu Sangui defeated Li Zicheng made them full of expectations:

Wu Sangui will bring the crown prince to Beijing, and the Ming Dynasty will be restored.

Therefore, very few were willing to follow Li Zicheng back to the west, and many officials voluntarily stayed in Beijing to support the crown prince's succession.

So in order to welcome the return of the prince, everyone hastily prepared for the emperor Lubo Fajia, and greeted him outside the city with joy.

"Brother Wang, what is the year name when the crown prince returns?"

Governor Song Quan of Shuntian was a little anxious to wait, so he couldn't help asking.

Wang Zhengzhi, the left servant of the household department, heard the words, and said in a deep voice: "The reign is still second, the key is how Wu Sangui arranges it."

"This guy defeated the intruder and rescued the prince again. It can be said to be the first achievement. If we don't make good arrangements, the capital will not be safe."

"A few warriors are nothing!"

Song Quan said coldly: "At worst, give him a duke and let him lead the army to chase down the intruders. With us, the imperial court will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai."

"Hahaha, that's very good."

On the side, Wang Aoyong, the governor of Tongzhou, couldn't help thinking when he heard these words.

Regarding Wu Sangui's ability to defeat the intruder, he has always held a dubious attitude.

Compared with those civil servants, he is more knowledgeable about soldiers. If the intruders were really so easy to defeat, wouldn't Wu Sangui have already fought them, and why would he hesitate?

There must be something strange about this matter.

However, when everyone was elated, he didn't dare to pour cold water on it.

"I'm coming!"

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the ground began to vibrate, and the soldiers could be vaguely seen in the distance, and shouts suddenly sounded.

For a moment, all the officials were shaken, and hurriedly saluted and greeted him, not to mention their sincerity.

But at this time, in the front, a short and sturdy man in armor, said in surprise: "Prince Pingxi, why are Ming officials like this?"

Wu Wanggui was also curious, bowed his head and said, "This is relying on the regent's heavenly power, and I went out of the city to meet you."

"Hahaha!" Dorgon laughed happily: "These officials surrendered to the intruders yesterday, and today they wagged their tails and surrendered to us. They really have no shame."

"In our Qing Dynasty, such a disloyal dog would only be skinned and cramped, and boiled into broth."

On the side, Prince Yu Duoduo couldn't help waving his arms and said, his face full of disdain.

At this time, Hong Chengchou said softly: "The regent, governing the world, depends on literati after all. Li Zicheng was unpopular because he treated the scholar-bureaucrats poorly, so he fled absurdly."

"I am a Qing Dynasty, and I obeyed the destiny to enter the pass, so naturally I can't follow suit."

"That's right!" Dorgon nodded, his round face full of affirmation: "Pass down my military order, the army is strictly prohibited from looting, stop shaving, Beijing City, but our capital after the Qing Dynasty!"

As soon as these words came out, Hong Chengchou stroked his beard with a smile on his face, feeling extremely comfortable in his heart.

Once the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains like the Meng Yuan, then he would no longer be a traitorous official and a party, and I am afraid that he will be rumored in the history books.

Wu Wanggui's heart was shocked. From this point of view, are the Manchus really going to occupy the Central Plains?

He touched the rat tail on the back of his head, feeling extremely absurd in his heart.

And those Manchu nobles were also quite dissatisfied.

They are used to Liaodong, and they feel uncomfortable with the pass, but the regent's power is here, so they have to succumb.

So, in the astonishment of the civil and military officials, their emperor Yijia did not wait for the prince, but the regent of the Qing Dynasty.

"Jiannu? How could it be Jiannu? Where is the prince?"

"This guy Wu Sangui has colluded with Jiannu, what a shame!"

In this case, the scene will become chaotic in an instant.

However, after all, it has become an established reality, and this kind of bitter fruit can only be swallowed bravely.

Dorgon also knew that he must not act like Li Zicheng, and he was quite rewarding for the civil and military officials who greeted him.

The army in the city strictly observes military discipline, which is in stark contrast to the Chuang army.

With this action, immediate results were seen immediately, and the hearts of the people of Beijing were settled.

As for the issue of Chongzhen, doubts arose.

According to the opinions of the nobles of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, Chongzhen was really abominable, and his corpse should be abandoned in the wilderness as a matter of course.

But the civil servants did not support it, especially Hong Chengchou, who strongly opposed it: "I entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty under the banner of avenging Emperor Chongzhen. How can words and deeds be inconsistent?"

Fan Wencheng also agreed: "The regent loves the people very much, let alone Chongzhen?"

Hearing this, Dorgon murmured: "Then bury Chongzhen's body in Tian Guifei's mausoleum, and in a few days, I will mourn for Emperor Chongzhen—"

"The regent is wise!"

The civil servants praised him one after another.

However, although they entered Beijing, the Manchus encountered many difficulties.

In Nanjing in the south, a group of ministers supported King Fu and established the Hongguang court.

In the northwest, Li Zicheng still occupies Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan provinces, with hundreds of thousands of troops, he is really a big enemy.

However, the strength of the Manchu Qing army is limited after all, and it is impossible to fight two against one, and there must be a sequence.

In terms of strategy, once there is a mistake, for Man Qing who has just entered the customs, it will lose everything.

"According to my subordinates, it is a good strategy for Li Nan to get rid of intrusion!"

Fan Wencheng joined the army after healed his illness, his complexion turned pale, but he still held on, gritted his teeth and said, "The ministers of Nanming are all members of the Donglin Party, brave in internal fighting and have no power to defeat the enemy."

"But Li Zicheng is different. He is ambitious, and he has always been worried about the defeat of a piece of stone. He is a courtier with one heart and entrenched in Shaanxi. If things go on like this, it will be a serious problem for the Qing Dynasty."

"Dodo, what do you think?"

Dorgon didn't want to rely on the Han people all the time, he raised his head and asked his younger brother.

Duoduo thought for a while, then said casually: "Li Zicheng is in the north, and there are many cavalry, and the south is too hot, the sons and daughters can't stand it, let's beat Li Zicheng!"

Dorgon nodded, and said: "North first, then south. Duo Duo is right. The south is hot and humid, and there are no cavalry. In front of our red cannons, it is not worth mentioning."

"The only worry is that Li Zicheng is a wounded hungry wolf. When we hunt, the more we get to this point, we should chase him hard and never allow him to relax for a moment."

"Otherwise, he will seek revenge."

Dorgon said in a deep voice, and immediately decided on the future war strategy, and tried his best to eliminate Li Zicheng.

People naturally have no objection.

He lived in the Forbidden City in a stately manner, and handled affairs in the Hall of Martial Heroes.

Fan Wencheng, Gang Lin and other civil servants in Huang Taiji's time felt tense in their hearts.
