Chapter 49

Li Zicheng of Chen Bingshan Customs had to wake up after realizing that his authority had been shaken.

Even after breaking through Beijing, you can be drunk with gold, wine and meat, but if you die, you won't be able to enjoy it!
The same generals under him have this idea.

Even if it was only for a few days, those days of extravagance and debauchery, as well as the gold and silver piled up like mountains from the hands of those dog officials, were really inseparable.

Therefore, Wu Sangui, who is hanging above Beijing, must be properly arranged, so that they can continue to enjoy and continue to fight south.

As for building slaves.

It is clearly written in the arrow book that if you persecute Wu Sangui too much, he will be forced to seek refuge as a slave.

Otherwise, if Jiannu is singled out, Li Zicheng doesn't think much of Jiannu now.

Although this idea is a bit arrogant, but after receiving a huge number of troops from the Ming Dynasty, and receiving and gathering the military equipment of the Ming Dynasty during this period.

Li Zicheng's military strength has been extremely inflated.

When entering Beijing, it was said that there was a million-strong army. In fact, the elite old battalion plus the soldiers of the second echelon, at best, were in the early [-]s.

Now is the real look of some million troops.

It's just that these troops were extremely scattered and difficult to command due to the copying of their salaries, and Li Zicheng's control over the generals under him also dropped a lot.

Therefore, the army has severely harmed the people in the currently occupied area.

This also led to a significant reduction in the effectiveness of a series of plans and strategies Li Zicheng promulgated when he was in Beijing after arriving at Shanhaiguan to improve the stability of the occupied area.

However, although its military power is rapidly deteriorating, it is still reluctantly united because of external threats such as the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Wu Sangui.

The front is tight, and the rear is tight, but under the butcher's knife of military power, after all, some of the eaten resources come to the front.

Therefore, the Chuangjun who was in Shanhaiguan at this time seemed to be covering the sun with banners.

The most prominent among them is that there are more than 500 large and small artillery pieces, which are divided into several artillery positions. Among them, the one closest to Shanhaiguan can be seen clearly only by standing on the city wall of the pass.

In short, Li Zicheng's momentum looks very strong.

And Jianu's side.

The rear seems to be very stable, there is not much to say.

The main thing is the entry point.

When he arrived at Shanhaiguan in April, Dorgon, who had been asked for help by Wu Sangui, thought that Shanhaiguan could be reached by reaching out, and he would be able to enter the Central Plains after stepping through it, so he came with many Baylor generals.

You've been asking me for help, haven't you?
Crack the ground for reward?

Who cares!

We used to be rivals, you ask me for help!

Isn't this equivalent to surrendering?
Hope is great!

But after he really came to Shanhaiguan, Dorgon found that things seemed to be a little different from what he thought.

The Chuangjun, who were supposed to besiege Shanhaiguan aggressively, now set up camp at the other end of Shanhaiguan, staring at it. It is said that the artillery positions have been built under the nose of Shanhaiguan, and neither side has fired a single cannon.

Instead, there is a constant flow of letters and gifts.

If it wasn't for Wu Sangui's efforts to send him letters, most of which meant to fight Li Zicheng together with him, and there was no momentum to attack the Qing army, otherwise Dorgon would have thought that Wu Sangui had already voted for Li Zicheng.

The purpose of coming here to ask for help is to recruit him, and then beat him together.

In short, for Dorgon, the immediate temptation is great, and the risk is also great.

But for the sake of caution, he had to retreat five miles back. At the same time, he began various searches to bypass Shanhaiguan to obtain information on the invasion of the army, and at the same time, he was looking for suitable looting targets.

Regardless of whether he has jujubes or not, hit a pole first.

If you can't enter the customs in the end, then it's good to take this opportunity to plunder some more people and wealth.

And what about Wu Sangui?
He is happy now, but also worried.

Both Man Qing and Chuang Jun wanted to draw him into their own camp. After two months, both sides' bargaining chips were opened to crack the earth to become the king. This chip fully met the highest expectations of Wu Sangui and his generals.

Li Zicheng even made him a marquis first, saying that he would make him king immediately after he became emperor, and also sent him several months of military pay, full of sincerity.

However, considering that some people who surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty were granted titles of princes, they are doing well now. With these lessons learned from the past, the princes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are much more important than the princes under King Chuang.

but!

Surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he is intimidating.

All of a sudden, the two sides were even.

In trouble, Wu Sangui first asked Man Qing for some food, and then asked Chuang Wang for some money. Given his status and status, he was not afraid that they would not give it.

Then, he remembered his original intention.

We are also Daming's courtiers!
The purpose of calling Jiannu is to let Jiannu hammer the intruder and then pick up the leak himself.

But what's going on with this situation now?
Sure enough, he shouldn't have been the king of Kame Suqin in the first place!

But why is there no response to the letter sent to the south?Anyway, we are still Daming's Ping Xibo now!
"It's roughly like this. His Majesty in the south also read the letter sent by Ping Xibo, but he didn't intend to reply. According to the prince, His Majesty in the south has a lot of opinions on Ping Xibo."

After hearing Jin Yiwei's words, Zhu Youjian, who was riding slowly, nodded noncommittally.

It's normal for the Emperor Longwu, who took the throne ahead of schedule, to dislike Wu Sangui.

When he was young, he was a typical hot-blooded stunned youth, and he was forced to be more honest after being imprisoned for more than ten years.

In the original history, less than half a month after he ascended the throne, he was about to be conscripted by the royal driver, which shows that his stubborn illness can't be locked in prison.

Later, he was sold by Zheng Zhilong. On the way to escape, he was desperately flipping through books, trying to find a way to turn the corner.

But in any case, this unyielding spirit is very important to fight against the wind.

And even if he followed the path Zhu Youjian arranged for him, Emperor Longwu would only change from a puppet to half a puppet, and he wouldn't be able to play much.

This is why Zhu Youjian chose to let him ascend the throne.

It's just the information I got from Jin Yiwei, Zhu Yujian did a pretty good job.

Relying on Zheng Hongkui's subordinates, Jin Yiwei and Zheng Chenggong, they gradually had their own voices in court and in the local area.

And successfully turned Zheng Zhilong's power to overwhelm the sky with one hand, and gradually began to turn into an internal struggle within the Zheng family.

Trying to hijack the imperial power, right?

Then you hijack your younger brother and son who are exercising imperial power.

For these two, Zhu Youjian understands them better than Zheng Zhilong in a certain sense.

"He did a pretty good job."

Zhu Youjian sighed in admiration from the bottom of his heart, and then began to digest the information he got from Jin Yiwei, and eliminated their judgments as information acquirers from it, leaving objective information.

Li Zicheng is powerful, but the momentum is getting more and more empty.

The seemingly strong soldiers are weaker than imagined behind the scenes.

The army not only harmed the local people's cities, but also caused the frequent drought, locust plague, plague, and plague in the Central Plains during the Little Ice Age due to its chaotic army.

It is estimated that at this time, the plague has already begun to spread in his army.

The Manchu Qing was almost unable to resist. The feudal slavery society established by oppressing serfs had low productivity. In addition, it was not a season of high autumn and high horses at this time. At this time, every moment of raising troops was a loss.

Can carry until now, rely on what?

Even if the country is in danger of ruining the family and the Central Plains has become a ghost under natural and man-made disasters, it still does not forget the Shanxi merchants who took the risk of transporting food to the Qing Dynasty.

And Wu Sangui.

At this time, he was very leisurely, thinking that he could choose anyone, and even thought about contacting Nanming, making a three-way bet.

I just don't know if he understands it or not.

The other two.

It's about to rush.
