Tang Sai'er waved his hand: "Don't be busy, handsome, Sun Chuanting has established a new monarch, this matter is not small." 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】”

Zhang Xianzhong sneered: "Sun Chuanting is afraid that he got a turtle grandson from somewhere, pretending to be the emperor, in this way, he is the minister of the auxiliary state, and he wants to be Cao C when he is in the Three Kingdoms." ”

Tang Sai'er shook his head: "As far as I know, Sun Chuanting is cautious, if he supports a real and fake emperor, then the third prince of Zhu is also imaginary, it will be incredible." In this way, not only will it not be supported by the people of the world, but it will also be self-defeating. ”

Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand: "Who knows what Lao Sun thinks, let's not care about him, anyway, it is also Li Chuangwang's business, he entered Beijing, * Chongzhen hanged himself, Sun Chuanting hated the army." Just take this opportunity, let's take Sichuan quietly first, and when the world notices us, the territory will be there, and the people will be there, who else in the world can help me! ”

Sun Kewang and the others raised their glasses together: "Father Shuai said it well." ”

Tang Sai'er said: "This matter must have a great shock to Li Zicheng, but it may have a greater shock to people on the other side." ”

Zhang Xianzhong was puzzled: "What kind of person is the military advisor talking about?" ”

Tang Sai'er said: "Jiangnan." ”

Zhang Xianzhong narrowed his eyes: "Jiangnan, the military division is saying that the Ming Dynasty is half of the rivers and mountains south of the Yangtze River. ”

Tang Sai'er nodded: "Exactly, since the Ming Dynasty moved the capital, it has always taken Beijing as the capital and Nanjing as the accompanying capital, at this time Beijing fell, but Nanjing was still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty officials." And those vassal kings who were sealed in Jiangnan will definitely take advantage of the opportunity. At this time, Sun Chuanting supported the new monarch, and it was difficult to say whether Nanjing would admit it or not. ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Yes, half of the territory in the south of the Yangtze River is not small, and it is very rich, those vassal kings will never give up their territory to King Li Chuang." will not be ceded to Sun Chuanting. You must know that although Sun Chuanting is powerful, those officials in Jiangnan are not familiar with him. Our Lao Zhang thinks that they will definitely nominate a vassal king to inherit the throne. ”

Tang Sai'er said: "In this way, Sichuan is in an extremely advantageous position, going east along the Yangtze River, it can attack Huguang, Anhui, Nanjing and other places, and the entire southeast half of the wall is under our surveillance." Therefore, Sichuan is a strategic location, and when we attack, we must also be careful not to be copied from behind by the officials and troops in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "The military advisor reminded me very well, I sent Ai Nengqi to lead 50,000 horses and horses to defend the White Emperor City, which is enough to block any official army attacking from the Yangtze River." ”

Tang Sai'er nodded: "That's the best." After defending the White Emperor City, we must fight quickly and take the entire Sichuan as soon as possible. Then appease the people, prepare to attack the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and then half of the south of the Yangtze River will definitely be in the pocket of the marshal. ”

When Zhang Xianzhong heard this, he was very happy, and he called for wine again and again, and he was drunk.

The news of the fall of Beijing and Chongzhen's death also spread outside the customs and to the ears of Huang Taiji.

At this time, Huang Taiji had already rushed to Jinzhou in person, and urged Dolgon to attack Shanhaiguan nearby. After hearing the news of the fall of Beijing, he immediately recalled Dolgon, Hong Chengchou, Zu Dashou and others to discuss countermeasures.

In addition to the above people, there were also two important Manchu ministers, Azig and Duoduo. These two were Dorgon's half-brothers, and they fought very bravely, and their prestige in the Qing army was very high.

Everyone entered the council hall and saw Huang Taiji, who gave him a seat, and also served tea to Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou, the two demoted officials, which was particularly important.

Huang Taiji spoke first, talking about Chongzhen's death, but his tone was sad, like bereavement: "Everyone, the widow has received the news that Beijing was captured by Li Zicheng, and Emperor Chongzhen was martyred. ”

Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou listened, and their bodies shook violently, and the teacup in their hands almost fell to the ground. Both of them felt sorry in their hearts, after all, they were not able to die, but they were full of people, and Chongzhen did not kill all their relatives, which was already very gracious. At this time, when I heard the news of Chongzhen's martyrdom, my heart was like turning over the river and the sea.

Zu Dashou burst into tears, and suddenly hid his face and cried. Hong Chengchou bowed his head and was silent.

At this time, the news that Sun Chuanting supported Zhu Cijiong as the emperor had not yet come, so everyone did not know that someone in the Ming Dynasty had already set up a new monarch.

Huang Taiji looked at Dolgon, made a look, Dolgon understood, stepped forward to comfort Zu Dashou, and Zu Dashou stopped his grief. Huang Taiji said: "Although we are hostile to the Ming Dynasty for many years, but I have deep respect for this holy monarch, and I will not tell you that the greatest wish of the widow is to lead the army into Shanhaiguan and lead the Chongzhen Emperor to drive the expedition. The thieves took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, entangled and brutalized, and actually captured the imperial capital. ”

Dolgon said: "Yes, Your Majesty, my brother is eager to lead a large army at this time and go to the Central Plains to exterminate the thieves." ”

Huang Taiji said: "But the general soldier of Shanhaiguan has always been tough, after hearing the news of the fall of Beijing, the widow has sent him a handwritten letter, asking him to surrender to my Manchu Qing Dynasty and avenge Emperor Chongzhen together, but he has not replied so far." I don't know how to react. ”

Only then did Hong Chengchou speak: "Wu Sangui's whole family is in Beijing, and he must have been taken hostage by the thieves at this time, if he submits to His Majesty, then the whole family will inevitably be punished." Therefore, it is also in vain for His Majesty to write a letter. ”

Huang Taiji nodded and sighed: "If this is the case, there is no way." The thief must have used both grace and power, on the one hand to take his family hostage, and on the other hand, he must promise high officials and generous gifts to win his loyalty. If Wu Sangui guards Shanhaiguan, we really have no choice. ”

Duoduo looked at Zu Dashou and shouted, "Master Zu, Wu Sangui is your junior, can you write a letter to persuade him to surrender?" Can he still disobey your uncle? ”

Zu Dashou's eyes were red: "I can't persuade him." If Sangui surrenders, it will be to send the family to the guillotine, and he will become an unfilial son. In addition, surrendering to the Manchu Qing is disloyal to the Ming Dynasty. How could he do such disloyalty and unfilial piety? ”

Duoduo said: "But now Da Ming is dead!" ”

Zu Dashou said: "It is precisely because the Ming Dynasty has just died and the emperor has just been martyred, if he defects to the Manchu Qing Dynasty at this time, how will the people in the country feel?" The scolding also scolded him to death. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "What's more, in his family, there is an old father in the hall, and there is also a concubine who has just passed the door, and it is this concubine who also makes him dare not disobey Li Zicheng." ”

Huang Taiji said: "A concubine? ”

Zu Dashou said: "This woman's name is Chen Yuanyuan, a native of Jiangnan, with the best appearance in the world, and her color and art are unique. Just sixteen years old this year, he was given to Wu Sangui by a friend, and after Sangui saw it, he regarded it as a pearl in his palm and immediately accepted him as a concubine. With her in the capital, Wu Sangui would never dare to surrender to His Majesty. ”

Huang Taiji nodded: "The beauty really wants to marry a hero, Wu Sangui bravely crowns the three armies, and it is a match." ”

Azig snorted: "What a hero, it seems that he is also a womanizer." ”

Dolgon shook his head, "Big brother, you can't say that. You haven't seen the beauties in Jiangnan, brother, I've heard of it, especially in the Qinhuai River area in Jiangnan, the beauties are like clouds, they are all as beautiful as fairies, brother, if you see it, I guess you won't say that. Haha......"

Zu Dashou was a little worried: "Your Majesty, if Sangui doesn't descend, what are you going to do?" ”

Azig said: "What else can I do? Your Majesty, since you don't want to eat sheep R, let's use a knife. The younger brother is willing to lead a large army to storm Shanhaiguan, and he must open the pass. ”

Huang Taiji shook his head: "No, it's not now to fight." If the thief appeases Wu Sangui, let's fight, just give Wu Sangui a chance to perform, he will fight to the death with us, so that the thief can rest assured. The meaning of the widow is to wait a while, find out the news in the pass, and then make a decision. ”

At this time, the eyes of all the forces were all focused on the city of Beijing, staring at Li Zicheng, this poor man who was born as a pawn, rebelled for many years, after several lives and deaths, and finally led the army, entered Beijing, and destroyed the Ming Dynasty.

However, the situation did not move towards clarity, but became more and more chaotic and confused.

Heroes from all walks of life have started their own wishful thinking, the whole world is divided, falling apart, in the north to the northwest provinces, Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Sichuan, Liaodong, respectively, occupied by different forces, the remaining half of the Ming Dynasty, but did not suffer from the disaster of the army, but also a war.

The Qin army under the leadership of the King of Qin, Wang Dao Huanghuang, with attack as defense, stabilized Guanzhong, Hanzhong and Henan, Sichuan Zhang Xianzhong swallowed bullfighting, and was about to take Sichuan Province into the bag, Shandong's Fan Ju was treacherous and wise, and was taking Shandong as the basic and intended to be the world. And Li Zicheng occupied most of Zhili and Henan, and his power was incomparable for a while. The Manchu Qing army outside the Guanxi is looking at the delay and may enter the Central Plains at any time, and the vassal kings in the south of the Yangtze River, after getting the news of Chongzhen's death, will also have a series of actions in the face of the complicated situation.

There is also Sun Chuanting, who has just established a new monarch and is generously swearing to prepare to defeat the peasant army led by Tian Jianxiu in Shanxi and regain the Great Tomorrow.

The entire land of China, did not stop with the fall of Beijing, the death of Chongzhen, and the demise of the Ming Dynasty, but took this event as the beginning, opened the prelude to the chaos and boundlessness, and various forces or wars, or peace, or alliances, or betrayals, and are about to stage a thrilling and treacherous tragic fight.
