I, Jiajing, join the Ming Emperor chat group

Chapter 18 From heaven to hell, where did the one hundred thousand army come from?
"Is Beijing City ahead?"

A man like an iron tower rode a steed, staring at the endless towering city wall from a distance, and couldn't help sighing: "I finally came here!"

He was wearing a very common white felt hat and a bright red cloak over his armor. The sky was full, one eye socket was sunken, and there was nothing inside, while the other eye was piercing.

He is Li Zicheng, the No. [-] traitor in Tianzi at the end of Ming Dynasty, the emperor of Dashun.

He came from a humble background, but he was just a commoner in Shaanxi. When he was a child, he had studied for two days and learned some farming skills.

But it is a pity that natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, and the well-off family that was originally well-off has also declined. Fortunately, I studied for two days when I was a child, passed various applications, and became a postman in Shaanxi, and I have had an iron rice bowl ever since.

But it is a pity that before the iron rice bowl was warmed up, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand, causing him to lay off staff on the spot.

After the layoffs, Li Zicheng, who couldn't get along, could only go back to his hometown. He got into trouble because of his debts, and after killing a master Juren, he had to go to Gansu to join the army with his nephew.

Once again, Li Zicheng wanted to be an officer and soldier of the Ming Dynasty who ate the imperial food, but what he didn't expect was that Huang Taiji detoured to Jehol to enter the capital, and the Gansu soldiers were also going to help the capital, so Li Zicheng followed him to Beijing.

As a result, halfway through, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty didn't give him a dime. Li Zicheng, who originally wanted to enjoy the royal salary, was completely blackened and mutinied with the army...

In this way, after 15 years of struggle, Li Zicheng finally became the emperor of Dashun from a postman, and after conquering Beijing, he became the master of the world and the master of China!

This feeling, just thinking about it, made Li Zicheng feel excited.

Since I was a child, I have heard the family history of Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, and I never thought that I would have the opportunity to be side by side with it today!
Although the difficulty of making a fortune is lower than that of Emperor Zhu, in the unified dynasty throughout history, he can still maintain the existence of three contending for two!

Li Zicheng was filled with emotions. Looking at the bleak autumn wind in front of him in Beijing, he couldn't help recalling the hardships of starting a business.

But facing this Beijing city, Li Zicheng was a little apprehensive.

Although Daming's armaments were lax, Beijing was the capital of the Ming Dynasty after all. Li Zicheng had conquered the city over the years, but he hadn't fought the real big city much. He still remembered what happened when he stormed Kaifeng last time: one of his eyes was lost there.

Therefore, he now has a headache seeing Dacheng, and even has the idea of ​​persuading Chongzhen to surrender.

"His Majesty."

Suddenly, a voice interrupted his thoughts. An elegantly dressed Confucian scholar came to Li Zicheng, and said very seriously to Li Zicheng: "The spies in the capital have new information. A few hours ago, there were tens of thousands of troops in the city, and [-] to [-] cavalry fled from the gate of the capital without a trace!"

This person is none other than Li Yan, an important strategist in the Dashun Army.

Li Zicheng was startled when he heard the words: "Could it be that Wu Sangui brought the troops from Shanhaiguan to kill him?"

Li Yan shook his head: "Master Gu asked, but Wu Sangui didn't make any movement, he was still dawdling on the road, and according to the report from the spies, these soldiers were all wearing the armor of the Beijing camp, not the armor of the frontier army. And..."

After hesitating for a moment, he still spoke truthfully with a strange expression on his face: "And the spies also said that Chongzhen in the city went crazy, copied hundreds of honorable officials, and killed thousands of people. They also said that Emperor Gao, Emperor Chengzu, and Emperor Sejongsu were still alive, and they brought great soldiers and generals to save the country. Those three emperors brought down those troops."

Some nonsense.

And Li Zicheng was also taken aback. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "It's just a trick of the Chongzhen children to confuse the forehead. Don't you think that the forehead has never read military books? Xiaojier!"

This kind of moves to make soldiers leave the city and enter the city has appeared many times in history. How could Li Zicheng believe it?

The only thing worth noting is that the only ones that may pose a threat are cavalry.

Similarly, he only felt that there were a small group of cavalry, perhaps several hundred, but he never believed that there were more than ten thousand cavalry outside the city.

If Chongzhen children had this ability, Li Zicheng would have died [-] times a long time ago, and it's his turn to sweep over half of Ming Dynasty?

Thousands of cavalry!

The last cavalry of the entire Ming Dynasty is also in Shanhaiguan. It is known as [-] Guanning cavalry, but the real number is [-] cavalry.

After all, in the [-] Guanning Army, there are not only cavalry but also infantry.

"However, you have to be on guard... In this way, you pass the military order, let Jun En come, and then ask Liu Zongmin to take the cavalry to guard against those cavalry. Chongzhen's children are already powerless, so they can only use this method and method."

After all, Li Zicheng sighed quietly, and then said: "Chongzhen killed so many high-ranking officials in the capital, it seems that he wants to fight to the end. The battle of Ningwu lost too many brothers from the old camp. If he can't attack for a long time, then Wu Sangui from Shanhaiguan will take the opportunity to attack. Even if E Dashun wins, it will be a miserable victory. How can he compete with the Tartars?"

Li Yan hesitated to speak at the side.

Not long after, another counselor, Gu Yan, arrived in time, looked at Li Zicheng with a worried face, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, the emperor, we can negotiate peace with Chongzhen."

"Reconciliation?"

Li Zicheng was full of doubts, not knowing what was going on.

It's all done like this, negotiate a peace?
"The so-called peace negotiation is to tell the people of the capital that His Majesty Dashun is so benevolent. He does not want Beijing to suffer. He hereby negotiates a peace. In the capital, Zhu Youjian started killing people. Now everyone in the capital is afraid that everyone is in danger. My Majesty Dashun is so benevolent. Compared with the Zhu Ming tyrant, naturally he can win the hearts of Beijing."

Gu Yan smiled slightly, and then said: "In this way, in Beijing, only this tyrant of Zhu Ming will be left to stand firm, and the other soldiers of the Beijing camp and the people of the capital will probably eat pots of milk to welcome the king, and the city of Beijing will surely collapse without attack!"

Hearing Gu Yan's words, Li Zi couldn't help laughing, and when he was about to say something, he suddenly heard two roars coming from a distance!
The sound was very loud, and soon it extended into thunderbolts one after another, and then it seemed that many thunderbolts came out!

Li Zicheng couldn't help frowning, and then said: "Go and find out what's going on... You also have an idea about the peace negotiation you mentioned, find someone to talk to Chongzhen in the city, let's negotiate a peace."

Gu Yan nodded: "Your Majesty can teach Du Xun, the eunuch in the Xuanfu, to go, and at the same time, let the officials of the capital see, even the eunuchs, I, Dashun, can forget the past and not hurt a hair of it!"

"I want Mr. Gu, just like Xuande meets Kongming!"

Li Zicheng laughed out loud, disregarding the sound of the cannonballs, and suddenly, a fast horse came to report, with a panicked expression and an urgent situation: "Your Majesty, tens of thousands of Ming troops were suddenly killed in the city of Beijing. They used artillery as a cover and rushed out. My brothers and I waited for it.

Li Zicheng was shocked when he heard the words: "Let Suotian Harrier lead the old battalion brothers to the top, and don't let the chaos on the front line affect the troops in the rear!"

"Yes!"

The messenger left in a hurry, and Li Zicheng also hurriedly looked into the distance at this moment, and suddenly found that the Ming army had charged towards them at some point!
There are obviously only a few thousand soldiers in the capital, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, vulnerable to a single blow.

Here, where did this one hundred thousand army come from? !
