As soon as the front foot came back from Weiyuan Fort, before Zhu Guoqiang and his staff could discuss the conditions offered by Huang Taiji, Liu Hanyi hurriedly reported there.

"Lord Shizi, something is wrong, Luoyang was conquered by the Liukou, and Li Zicheng, the thief leader of the Fu Domain, ordered to be killed......"

Hearing this, Zhu Guoqiang's heart "chuckled", and his face changed slightly.

It's finally time to come!

Li Zicheng laid down Luoyang, and since then, he began to erode the Central Plains, and four years later, he went straight to Beijing!

This is how the Ming Dynasty lost the world.

For a long time, Zhu Guoqiang stood in front of the main gate of the General's Mansion in a daze......

……

Two bloody heads, just hanging at the head of Luoyang City, one head is the former Nanjing Military Department Shangshu Lu Weiqi, because he refused to return to the Liukou, was killed in the Zhou Gong Temple, and the other head is the Fu King Zhu Changxun, he is Chongzhen's uncle.

Kill Shangshu first, and then kill the prince.

And now, two heads are hanging over the city, and the bloody heads are swaying with the cold wind.

Occasionally, someone would look up at the city, and an old man with a white beard would sigh quietly.

"Alas, on this execution ground, since ancient times, only the common people have been killed, and I don't know how many lives have been killed, and now they are killing Shangshu and killing the prince, this world is really going to be in chaos!"

A middle-aged man next to him reminded softly.

"Be quiet, don't shout, let them listen, the ...... who want to kill their heads"

As soon as his words fell, a young hungry man with a puffy face interjected:

"It's good to kill, kill all these corrupt officials, and this world will be pure!"

"That is, everyone says that King Chuang is a good one. As soon as King Chuang came, he turned the world upside down: killed Lu Shangshu yesterday, and killed King Fu today. People only kill officials, not people. This is called doing the right thing for heaven! ”

"For the heavens, there are not no good officials and no good kings in this world, Shandong's German domain, people are ......"

Before the people on the side finished arguing, a person next to him couldn't help but hold him and said:

"Do you want to die, it's not the imperial court who is sitting in Luoyang City now......"

It is indeed not the imperial court that sits in Luoyang City, but Li Zicheng, who was killed from Shangluo Mountain, at this time he no longer has the depression he had at the beginning of last year.

Six days have passed in the blink of an eye. In the past six days, he did not live in the Fuwang Mansion in Luoyang City, but lived in the Zhou Gong Temple, and even the palace maids in the Fuwang Mansion were rewarded to his subordinates, at least for now, Li Zicheng, who is in the process of starting a business, does have the potential to become a great person.

On this day, after washing, Li Zicheng sat down in the temple to have breakfast. During the meal, he asked the small military advisor in front of him.

"Strategist, now that we have laid this Luoyang, what should we do next?"

Speaking of which, Song Xiance can become Li Zicheng's military adviser is also a coincidence, he has traveled all over the world for a long time, he is a fortune diviner, a few months ago, he encountered a rogue, was "tied to" Li Zicheng's army, since then he has made suggestions for it, but also has extraordinary intelligence, deeply respected by Li Zicheng, who must ask him for advice before the war, but a few months of kung fu, he was worshiped as a military advisor.

It is this Luoyang City, which was also brought down by Song Xiance, in the face of King Chuang's inquiry:

"Luoyang City is broken, there are many places to be confiscated, there are many things, and there are many things to be copied in just one Fuwang Mansion! As soon as things go haywire, a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and all sorts of valuable things fall into private hands, and grain is thrown around. Now that there are many displaced people in and out of Luoyang, King Chuang might as well distribute food and let them spread proverbs. ”

Li Zicheng asked:

"What prophecy is spreading?"

"King Chuang, a few days ago, the ministers looked at the celestial phenomena and calculated that the Ming Dynasty's "national fortune is coming to an end", and now the world is waiting for the British lord, so King Chuang must establish his prestige as soon as possible, and the displaced people are moving around, you might as well use the word of mouth of the displaced people to spread the proverbs......"

After thinking about it, Song Xiance said.

""Eighteen sons, the main artifact", with this proverb, the people will naturally be willing to follow King Chuang in the future."

When Li Zicheng heard this, his face immediately showed joy,

"Strategist's clever plan."

Who are the eighteen children? Naturally, it is Li Zicheng's "Lee". O Li of King Li Chuang!

The people are ignorant, and when they listen to such a proverb, they will naturally think that "the destiny of heaven is in Li", and then why worry about the failure of the great cause. With a happy look on his face, Li Zicheng asked again.

"Strategist, yesterday everyone talked a lot about that incident, but you rarely spoke. What do you think of what the crowd is saying? ”

After defeating Luoyang, whether it is Li Zicheng or Liu Zongmin, everyone under his command is a little fluttering, after all, this is the largest city they have built, besides, Luoyang is still the ancient capital! So yesterday, some people talked about the past and the present, talking eloquently, starting from the truth of taking the Central Plains according to Wan and Luo, and fighting for the world according to the Central Plains, and then talking about the establishment of a name, and finally talking about the time to invite King Chuang to build the capital Luoyang to be the king, and the time is ripe, not to be missed, especially emphasizing how the people of Heluo support it, and not to live up to the high hopes of the people of their father.

It is full of truth and very beautiful. Naturally, everyone agreed. However, there were also some generals who advocated that they should quickly capture Nanyang, connect the two regions of Wan and Luo, and prepare to fight Zhongzhou with Yang Sichang and other Ming troops who came to fight Zhongzhou, and then fight a few more big victories, and then discuss the establishment of a capital in Luoyang to claim the king. However, there are some people who advocate that at present, we should take advantage of the victory to enter Tongguan, attack Xi'an, and build the capital Xi'an with Guanzhong as the foundation. When this latter suggestion was made, many people immediately agreed with it, and added reasons in a few words. This is because the people who attended the meeting yesterday, except for Song Xiance, are all from Shaanxi, and they do not return to their hometowns like brocade clothes at night.

Of course, as Shaanxi people, they also know that Xi'an is the ancient capital, since the old people passed on the word of mouth "Guanzhong is a place of beauty", this place is naturally the most suitable to build the capital. But what is certain is that they are all people who have followed Li Zicheng for many years, and they are bent on protecting the king and fighting the country, and they all wish that the king would be called the king and the emperor as soon as possible.

In fact, Li Zicheng also wants to be called the king and the emperor in his heart.

As a laid-off civil servant at the post station, he never thought that he would one day lead troops to defeat a big city like Luoyang.

But although he thought about it in his heart, he just didn't say it, he kept silent, observing, observing everyone's attitude, and finally Song Xiance's attitude made him the most incomprehensible.

Yesterday, from the morning to the evening, Song Xiance didn't speak, what was he thinking in his heart? So after thinking about it all night, Li Zicheng still ordered someone to invite him over and have breakfast with him.

Song Xiance replied:

"Although there were many opinions yesterday, they were all out of loyalty to King Chuang. I didn't talk much at the meeting because I thought of the nine words that Zhu Sheng said to Zhu Hongwu, and I couldn't help but think about it. ”

Li Zicheng asked:

"Who is Zhu Sheng?"

Song Xiance said:

"Zhu Sheng is a Confucian student in Huizhou, very knowledgeable, Zhu Hongwu invited him after he conquered Huizhou and asked about the plan. Zhu Sheng replied with nine words. Later, Zhu Hongwu did according to these nine words, and sure enough, he achieved the Ming Dynasty for nearly three hundred years! ”

"Which nine words?"

"Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slow down to become king."

"Huh?"

"The meaning of these nine words is: we must first consolidate our territory, gain a foothold on our territory, and appease the people, so that we can have enough food and soldiers, and the slow reign is to avoid becoming the target of the public, and Zhu Hongwu relied on these nine words to win the world."

Li Zicheng nodded lightly while thinking, and then smiled.

"I understand what the military advisor means!"

After laughing, Li Zicheng said.

"Let's make a military division now, and do it, just like Zhu Hongwu's method back then to take away the world of his descendants."

With that, he sighed again.

"Hey, Zhu Hongwu is a good emperor, if all the emperors of our Ming Dynasty are like him, thinking about the common people in their hearts, how can they make their old Zhu family rebel."

"What King Chuang said is very true, we have come to this point because corrupt officials are rampant, and also because Zhu Mingqi is approaching, so we should let the world out."

"Uh-huh,"

Nodding in agreement, Li Zicheng asked again.

"So, how about that Tokushiko? Could he have been sent by God to renew Zhu Ming's life? ”
