Anti Qing

Chapter 52

"The younger brother is here."

Li Zijing frowned slightly, and immediately stepped out.

All the civil and military personnel of Dashun came to pay attention, and they all looked up and down at this little Chuang Wang who was trying to turn the tide in Tongguan.

Many people don't understand that Li Zijing, the little king of Chuang, has also been with the camp for many years, and he has made no achievements, and even barely participated in the battle a few times.

But why, suddenly shine in Tongguan?
"In the past, self-respect was useless, and I don't want to force you to join the war. After all, everyone has their own ambitions, but now, it's time for my Dashun to die."

Li Zicheng exhaled lightly, staring at Li Zijing.

Afterwards, looking around at the crowd of civil and military personnel in the hall, his tone suddenly became gloomy.

"My brother Zijing fought in Tongguan and used the Cave City attack method to attack Duoduo's camp. All the brothers should know about it, so I won't say more."

"I only have one question. How many people in my Dashun army have used this method?"

After the words fell, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.

Everyone looked at each other, and you said something to me.

"When attacking Luoyang, our troops used the hole city attack method to break through the Luoyang city, and the army followed and took advantage of the situation to break through the city!"

"attack"

Li Zicheng smiled slightly as he listened to the chatter of the crowd, not knowing what he meant.

"So you all know."

"When in Tongguan, why not use it?"

"Only my third brother insists on using this method of warfare, and finally breaks through Duoduo's camp, otherwise Tongguan may be lost now!"

As Li Zicheng said, the discussions in the hall had gradually quieted down.

After a moment of silence, Li Zicheng stood up and paced back and forth on the steps.

"This is what I want to say, and now it's my Dashun's problem."

"The two battles of Tongguan and Huaiqing have proved that those braided soldiers also have a head on their shoulders, and they are human beings just like us!"

"Brothers have fought with me for many years. I know your skills, but where is the energy you used to fight against the Ming army?"

"I, Dashun, shouldn't just lose like this. The elders in Guanzhong are still waiting for the good news of my Dashun!"

"Listen, listen to the movement outside this hall!"

All the civil and military members of Dashun looked at each other in blank dismay, each pricking up their ears, they could only hear the faint sound of gongs, drums and cannons in Xi'an city coming from outside the hall.

This is the people in the city, celebrating the victory of the Dashun Army in Tongguan.

All of a sudden, they were all red in the face.

Liu Zongmin stood up, a little choked up.

"His Majesty."

"It's all about being brothers. The first general is incompetent, and the whole army will be exhausted!"

"In Shanhaiguan, the brothers didn't expect Wu Sangui and the Qing army to come together. By the time they realized it, it was already too late!"

"Consecutive defeats, the hearts of the brothers are fluctuating, and my Dashun's spirit has been beaten!"

Li Zicheng immediately went down the steps, helped Liu Zongmin who was kneeling on the ground, and stared at the scar on his face.

"Jiexuan, I know, you have tried your best."

Li Zicheng looked around at the crowd and suddenly raised his voice.

"You all did your best!"

"But brothers, can you just let it go like this?"

Li Zicheng's eyes were burning, and his intense hatred swept the entire palace hall.

"That Azig, slaughtered tens of thousands of my people in Mizhi!"

"If they are allowed to enter Guanzhong, how can my elders in Guanzhong survive?"

"My Dashun is now besieged on all sides, the corrupt imperial court is fighting back, and the tiger-like Qing army is pressing on every step of the way."

"Those officials and gentry are now going to ride on the heads of the people again, eating their flesh and drinking their blood!"

Li Zicheng climbed up the imperial steps with his hands behind his back, and with his back to the crowd, he paused for a while, his tone decisive and resolute.

"Recently, many people are considering withdrawing to Jingxiang, and some even conspired to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. I know all of this."

"But now, I'm telling you clearly, I, Dashun, will be firmly nailed in the pass like a nail!"

"No matter how many Qing troops Dorgon mobilizes, if the soldiers come to cover up the water and the soil, I will stay in Xi'an, and I will never take a step back!"

"Pass my decree, spread it wherever you can, tell the Dashun soldiers all over the world, tell them, I swear to fight to the death!"

"From now on, anyone in our Dashun army who dares to speak out and back off, and whoever conspires to surrender and negotiate a peace, I will never forgive!"

Speaking of this, Li Zicheng stared at everyone, speaking earnestly.

"Brothers, it's time to get back to your original intentions!"

Since the defeat at Shanhaiguan, the generals of the Dashun Army have been defeated thousands of miles away. They have lost more than they have won against the Qing army.

But I never thought about what would happen to those people when they ran away.

The same is true for Li Zicheng, who was defeated all the way and was beaten into a daze, so that he considered everything with a pessimistic attitude.

But today, he is determined to change all that.

Liu Zongmin knelt down on the hall with a plop, weeping uncontrollably.

"I, Liu Zongmin, put my life in His Majesty's hands, and I will fight the Qing army to the end, and I will never back down again!"

Liu Fangliang also stood up, turned around and shouted loudly.

"Brothers, let Dorgon see that we Han people are still bloody!"

"Swear to follow the Emperor Yongchang to the death, Dashun Yongchang forever!"

Everyone knelt down one after another, shouting in unison.

"Brothers followed His Majesty to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, with their heads pinned to their waistbands, they have long been treated as separate families! What is there to be afraid of?"

"Yes! Show the prestige of my Dashun army!"

"Even if you lose, you must die before the elders in Guanzhong!"

Li Zijing was called out and stood in the middle of the hall.

Seeing everyone kneel down, Li Zijing hesitated for a moment, but still knelt down.

As a person from later generations, Li Zijing only kneeled to his parents, and he was very repulsed by such things as kneeling.

Now Li Zijing is asked to kneel down to a "brother" whom he has only known for two months, but he still has difficulties in his heart.

For a long time, Li Zicheng had given him the impression of a runaway general who moaned for days and wanted to run away at every turn.

Suddenly, hearing such mobilization words, Li Zijing's current feelings can only be described as deafening.

It is really unexpected that the success or failure of the Tongguan battle played such a vital role in the change of Li Zicheng's attitude.

Even Li Zijing, who had always had little solidarity with Dashun, felt something boiling in his blood when he heard such rhetoric of "saving the world".

The voice in the hall gradually subsided, Li Zicheng raised his hand, waited for all the Dashun civil and military to stand up, and said with eyes fixed.

"In the land of Hanzhong, there is no room for loss, Cihou!"

Liu Fangliang shouted immediately.

"Chen is here!"

Li Zicheng walked down the imperial steps slowly, handed over the whip in his hand, murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

"You lead Zuoying to rescue Hanzhong quickly, and I want you to represent me to negotiate with Daxi."

"Give my horsewhip to Zhang Huanghu, force him to retreat and make peace, and fight against the Qing army with me. If he is unwilling, then tell him."

"I will swear to destroy the Western Army in just one day!"

When Liu Fangliang heard this, his expression froze.

"The minister takes orders!"

Li Zicheng nodded, then turned around.

"Respect yourself."

Li Zijing bowed immediately.

"The younger brother is here."

Li Zicheng walked back to the steps, took off his short knife, solemnly handed it to Li Zijing, and said in a deep voice.

"You lead the front battalion to Jingxiang to investigate the disaster. The front battalion has few soldiers and acts for the sake of power. I give you the right to control my army on the Dashun East Road."

"If there is any disobedience, cut it with this blade."

"The government affairs of the four governments are all at your disposal."

This knife is short and sharp, with a dark black handle, engraved with exquisite totems, and the whole body of the knife is silver and white, extremely gorgeous.

Occasionally, when there is light shining on the main hall, the blade will glow with cold light, and the streamer will shine brightly.

This is almost equivalent to giving the title of governor of Shangfang Sword and Jiadong Road. In troubled times, having such power is exactly what Li Zijing flocks to.

Without making any hypocritical excuses, Li Zijing immediately agreed.

"The younger brother takes orders!"
