The Tianwu army did not stop for a moment, starting from Shandong, directly attacking the city of Beijing, and in Tianjin, they encountered the most stubborn resistance on the way to the Northern Expedition.

Garrisoned in Tianjin was Li Guo's righteous son Li Laiheng, he was a strong general, at the critical moment, he still desperately resisted, and ordered the 50,000 Shun troops near Beizhili to be concentrated on the Hunhe River (Yongding River) in Tianjin, waiting for the arrival of the Tianwu army.

Hunhe River (not the Hunhe River next to Shenyang in Liaodong), the Western Han Dynasty used to be collectively referred to as water control, and the Eastern Han Dynasty was called? Water, the Jin Dynasty called the Lugou River, the Ming Dynasty called the Hunhe River.

The Hunhe River basin passes through Gu'an North Shilipu, Zhujiazhuang in the southeast of Yongqing, Huidong Anlan City River, out of Bazhou Liucha Triangle Lake, 145 miles long, reaches the west Gu into the sea, is a good interception position.

If the Tianwu army dared to attack, Li Laiheng could summon the Dashun army to attack its half-crossing and take it by surprise, and even if the Dashun army was not effective in combat, it would be convenient to retreat and escape, which could be described as killing two birds with one stone.

When the Tianwu army arrived at the Hunhe River, it did not hesitate as Li Laiheng imagined, but launched an attack at the first time.

Li Laiheng watched in amazement as the Tianwu Army crossed the Hunhe River as if flying, and the 50,000 Shun Army had not even completed the assembly, and the muzzles of the Tianwu Army's black holes had already been pointed at them.

It wasn't until Li Laiheng was captured that he realized how terrible the combat effectiveness of the Tianwu Army was, no wonder King Chuang would be defeated.......

In Zhu Cihong's heart, he didn't take Li Zicheng and other thieves seriously, just their loosely disciplined and poorly combative thieves were not at the same level as the Tianwu Army.

There are Heding rifles, these troops that have spent a lot of money to build, there are hundreds of taels of silver spent on a soldier, whether it is the quality of the soldiers, or the crushing of equipment, or the spiritual outlook of the army, it is not at the same level.

Heding rifle swings forward, what will the Shun army fight? Hard skull?

Not to mention the core of the Shenwu Army, the mortar, has not yet been taken out. (According to the development and evolution of mortars in the Ming army, flowering shells are used, and the flowering shell technology is not yet mature, and small-scale equipment is used)

Cao Bianjiao, who captured Li Zicheng, rested in Zhuozhou for half a month, and the thousands of cavalry of the Longwu Army were nailed like a nail in the center of Beizhili, deterring the remnants of the Shun army in Beijing.

It didn't take long for Cao Bianjiao to receive the will, and fortunately he became a striker, and Zhu Cihong ordered him to lead his troops to continue north, and if there was a chance, he could take down the city of Beijing.

Cao Bianjiao was not very interested in the great merit of recovering Shenjing, after all, he had already made great achievements in killing Li Zicheng, and if he fought Beijing City to grab merit, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among his colleagues.

Moreover, he led the cavalry, how could there be a reason for the cavalry to attack the city.

Thinking of this, Cao Bianjiao led his troops to chase and attack the remnants of the Shun army around Beijing one by one, capturing nearly 10,000 Shun troops within a few days, and capturing a lot of war horses and money and grain.

There was no suspense in these battles, and there were no fierce battles, the speed of the Long Wu Army was too fast, like a swordsman master holding a sharp sword, and the opponent had already inserted the sword into the opponent's heart before he could react.

On February 26, the Longwu army conquered Changping, completely swept the Shun army around the city of Beijing, and prepared to welcome Emperor Tianwu to attack the city of Beijing.

However, what surprised him was that when he led the army to Tongzhou to prepare to meet him, there was no Shun army in the city of Beijing at night, and he heard that Niu Jinxing and others ran overnight.

Niu Jinxing, the prime minister of Dashun, heard that the Dashun army was defeated, the Yongchang Emperor was killed, and the Tianwu army was overwhelmed, and he gave full play to his specialty - escape.

On the issue of fleeing or defending, Niu Jinxing and Li Zicheng's brother-in-law Gao Yigong had a huge disagreement, and finally Niu Jinxing killed Gao Yigong in the design, abducted Gao Guiying, the queen of Dashun, and led the remnants to the east.

In the territory of Yutian, 300 miles east of Beijing, there is an army walking in the dust, and the word "ox" is impressively displayed on the banner.

This army is equipped with rubbish, but the soldiers are all well dressed, all of them are brand-new waist-length cloth armor, and some of them are still wearing fine armor, which is the standard of the Ming Jing battalion.

The first few people are all wearing blue Dashun official uniforms, there are civil officials and military generals, one of them is Dashun Prime Minister Niu Jinxing, and beside him is his son Niu Yan.

Niu Yan rode on the horse and asked curiously: "Dad, let's not go east to Shaanxi, where are we going to the west?" ”

Niu Jinxing sighed and said: "I heard the report from the spies, the Ming army has entered Shaanxi, and there is no way back, and all parts of the Central Plains have been occupied by the Ming army. ”

Although Li Zicheng and the Manchu Qing Dynasty had little to do with each other, Dolgon had always been amorous and wanted to find Dashun to cooperate, and wrote to Li Zicheng many times.

The person responsible for receiving and exchanging letters and these things is Niu Jinxing, he and Dolgon, Ning Wan and others have also been friends for a long time, at this time Dashun was defeated on all fronts, the emperor died, the army was dispersed, and the regime had perished, who else could he, the prime minister, vote for Dolgon?

"Defecting to the Qing Dynasty?" Niu Yan exclaimed: "Shanhaiguan is occupied by the surname Mao, how can we get there?" Do you want to break through the Shanhaiguan before and after? ”

"Idiot!"

Niu Jinxing scolded angrily and said, "Just our people, still playing front and back sandwiches?" Go directly to Liaodong through the cold mouth! ”

Seeing his son's melancholy face, Niu Jinxing patiently educated: "Er, no matter what kind of bear we are now, we must feel that we have a bright future, we must be stable in small things, we must be ruthless in big things, and stand firm when no one helps us!" Got it? ”

Niu Yan nodded thoughtfully, slowly feeling the deep meaning of this sentence.

At this moment, a cavalryman of the Shun Army in the rear hurriedly came to report: "Prime Minister, the queen committed suicide in the carriage!" ”

"Suicide?"

Although Niu Jinxing was a little shocked, he was not surprised, Gao Guiying, a girl, has always regarded herself as a heroine among women, and she is unwilling to surrender to herself.....

"It's a pity...... Niu Jinxing sighed secretly, and said to the soldier: "Be optimistic about Dou Meiyi, if she has any more three longs and two shorts, she will pick your head!" ”

Li Zicheng has a total of three wives and one concubine.

The first wife, Han Jin'er, is a well-known water-based Yanghua, who married the local landlord as a concubine several times before marrying Li Zicheng, and was divorced back to her parents' house for fornication.

The young Li Zicheng saw that she was beautiful and had a strong desire, and he couldn't help but fall in love with her for a while, and married Han Jin'er without hesitation, regardless of the gossip of the villagers.

However, Han Jin'er had an affair with Gai Hu in the village, and was caught and raped in bed by Li Zicheng, and his little friend Gai Hu ran away on the spot and ran naked, while Han Jin'er was taken by Lao Li with a blood, which is very similar to the plot of Song Jiang in the Water Margin.

Li Zicheng's second wife, Mrs. Xing, was brave and intelligent, and was responsible for managing the military supplies of the rebels, but she also wore a green hat for her husband Li Zicheng, and eloped with the handsome and handsome small leader of the rebels, Gao Jie, and the two directly joined the Ming army.

Li Zicheng's third wife is this Gao Guiying, who just committed suicide, Lao Li's emotional richness is really bumpy, Gao Guiying is a second marriage, and her ex-husband died young.

In addition to not being able to have children, Gao Guiying did not do anything sorry for Li Zicheng, but helped him fight the world all the way, and Li Zicheng did not disappoint her, and made her the queen after calling the emperor.

Niu Jinxing's favorite Dou Meiyi is a palace maid that Li Zicheng fell in love with after staying in the Forbidden City, and accepted her as a concubine.

Although Niu Jinxing is in his fifties, he has always been unambiguous in the affairs of men and women, especially after Li Zicheng's death, Dashun died, his heart is more active, and his desire to take care of his wife and daughter for his friends is no longer hidden......
