For several days, Li Guo was in extreme tension, and at the beginning of the emperor's trapped Baoding, he was not worried, because this was the emperor's plan, but soon the news became more and more unfavorable to Dashun.

When he learned of the emperor's breakthrough, he also received an edict from the emperor ordering him to immediately lead his troops out of the capital.

The capital can't hold it!

But the problem is that there are so many people left in the capital, how can they be evacuated if they want to, and it will always take time to withdraw.

One day, two days......

For the next two days, Li wandered around the courtyard, waiting for any important matter to report to him. Soon, he also received an urgent 100,000 from Chen Yongfu from Taiyuan. In terms of military intelligence, the situation in Shanxi is very unstable, not to mention that there have been rebellions in various places, and even Jiang Jiu in Datong is unreliable, and rumors say that he is ready to return to the Ming Dynasty, and the officials and gentry who originally surrendered and the officials and gentry who hid in many places are now plotting to rebel. It was also mentioned in the military intelligence that Zhou Yuji's soldiers and horses were attacking cities and plundering land in Shanxi, and Taiyuan was now lacking troops and it was difficult to resist the attack of the Ming army.

The situation in Shanxi was worse than he imagined, and just when Li Guo was hesitating about what to do next, he immediately received a report that the Ming army was seizing the time to besiege the Dashun army in Baoding, and Wu Sangui had begun to march to the capital.

It was at this time that Prime Minister Sun Ke once again urged him to hurry out of the city, and when the emperor broke through, Sun Ke was injured when he fell from his horse and lost contact with the emperor, and then he fled to the capital alone.

"Bo Hou, if you don't leave, you won't be in a hurry!"

Li Guo replied:

"Prime Minister, have you seen the military situation coming from Shanxi? The situation in Shanxi is not calm, and the officials who are demoted have different intentions, even if they withdraw to Datong, if Datong returns to Ming, we will be caught in the net......"

Without waiting for Li Guo to finish speaking, Sun Ke hurriedly said:

"Bo Hou is confused!"

Sun Ke went on to say:

"If it weren't for his surname Jiang and surrendering to us, we wouldn't have entered the capital smoothly, he is now descending to Ming, even if the Ming Dynasty does not kill him for the time being, he will still kill him in the future, and will use his head to appease the world, after all, he killed Chongzhen, he Zhu Ciying always has to give the world an explanation, he descended to Ming...... It's a dead end! Even if he has this heart, when we arrive in Datong, it will be urgent to be powerful with him, but if we don't leave, in case the Ming army comes, we will lose all our efforts! Please don't delay any longer, and get out of the city now. ”

As soon as the prime minister persuaded him, Li Guo, who knew that there was no time to delay any longer, immediately ordered to go down.

Out of the mansion gate, his pro-army stood in the open space outside the mansion, and Li Laiheng was also waiting there.

"Dad, the child has ordered people to put firewood everywhere in the palace, as long as he gives an order, he can set this palace on fire, and he won't even leave a scum for the Ming Dynasty!"

Li Guo didn't speak, but rode directly on his horse and walked towards the noon gate.

"Dad, it's time to order the fire!"

The son's words made Li Guo restrain the reins of the horse, and he looked back in the direction of the palace, where there was firewood and grass under the Imperial Palace, as long as a fire was lit, the Imperial Palace would be all lit immediately. And the other palaces, including the harem, are also full of firewood, and there must be fires all over there, not only in the palace, but also in the Wumen City Tower, and on the Chengtian Gate.

As long as he gives an order, it is bound to be full of fire and red.

According to the emperor's will, places like Dashun Gate will also be set on fire. And there were fires in many parts of the city. There were hundreds of places in the inner city and the outer city that needed to be set on fire, and once the fire broke out, the clouds in the sky were reflected red by the fire.

Even Li Guo, who was extremely resistant to this order now, seemed to see the scene of the fire rising into the air and the whole city being naked with his order, and he even felt that he could hear the cries, shouts and running of many people under the firelight. His heart sank suddenly, and he suddenly said in a muffled voice:

"Why set fires?"

After this thought flashed, Li Guo said again.

"Order them all to take it down and don't light a fire, Chongzhen knew that he would not burn the palace and not work hard for the people in the world, let's ...... We can't even ignore this truth, besides, we have caused a lot of harm to the people of the capital, and we can't burn down people's homes anymore! ”

Thinking of the people of the capital who were plagued during this time, Li Guo's heart was filled with regret.

"But, but this is the emperor's will!"

"Your Majesty...... Isn't there a time when the emperor is wrong? ”

Li Guo snorted.

"Pass the order, don't set fire!"

After that, Li Guo rode towards the outside of the city, and while riding a horse, he thought to himself, the emperor, the emperor also made mistakes, he really shouldn't have come to the capital in a hurry. In fact, when Chang'an did not move, they also suggested that the emperor should first govern Henan and Guanzhong, let the people recuperate for a year and a half, and wait until all places were consolidated, and then it would not be too late to go on a northern expedition.

But at that time, everyone thought about things too easily, and they didn't expect that Wu Sangui's Guanning army was more powerful than the official army in the mainland, and they didn't expect that Zhu Ciying's Liaodong soldiers would be even more powerful. I didn't expect that the capital would have to be lost, and there would be rebellions everywhere, which was really a careless loss!

If I could have thought about things a little more at the time, why would I be where we are today?

At this time, the sky began to brighten, and he clearly saw the street scene of the capital and looked at the capital that was about to leave. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

I don't know if there is a chance to come back after leaving the capital this time!

With a sigh, he rode out of the city gate under the escort of his own army, and galloped straight to the northwest.

At the same time that Li Guo led nearly 100,000 Shun officers and soldiers to leave the capital, a group of Ming Dynasty officials finally breathed a sigh of relief, now they don't have to be tortured by the Dashun army, no, they are really roasted!

As a result, this group of bureaucrats who originally surrendered to Li Zicheng all came out of their own accord happily, maintaining order in the city in the name of the imperial history of the five cities, and waiting for the arrival of the soldiers and horses of the prison state. At the same time, they searched for "remnant thieves" everywhere in the city. And the soldiers and people in Beijing are also looking forward to the arrival of the prison army's army and support the establishment of the prison country to ascend the throne.

In anticipation, the war in Baoding has ended, and after the recalcitrant thieves in Baoding learned that Li Zicheng had fled, the army was in turmoil, and tens of thousands of remnants of the army were defeated and collapsed without a fight, and they abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

After the victory in Baoding was decided, Zhu Guoqiang led more than 10,000 troops to the north of the capital, and when he arrived in Tianjin, when he was about to meet Wu Sangui, there was a fast cavalry from Baoding to send the latest military information:

"Prison State. The eight-hundred-mile rush that just came from Nanjing. One good news, one bad news. ”

"Oh? The good news? ”

Zhu Guoqiang frowned and asked.

"Back to the prison country, Li Zicheng has already killed the righteous people on the way to escape."

Although he has long known that Li Zicheng will definitely not be able to escape for long. But when the news came, everyone's faces immediately showed happy expressions. Gu Yanwu knelt down excitedly and bowed:

"God forbid! Ancestors bless! ”

Compared with the excitement of others, Zhu Guoqiang still seemed very calm.

Li Zicheng actually died.

And there was some kind of coincidence in this place in history, he died not at the hands of the officials and soldiers, but at the hands of the people.

Of course, his death is also a relief for Zhu Guoqiang. At least don't think about how to kill him anymore.

According to the law, such a person must be put to death. But Zhu Guoqiang was reluctant to do this, after all...... Now that he's so dead, there's no need to think about it anymore.

After thinking about it, he continued to ask:

"And what about the bad news?"

"The traitor Jiang Hao of Datong colluded with the traitor Li Guo, and allowed him to join forces with Chen Yongfu and go out of the customs together, and Jiang Liang also escaped from the customs and defected to the captivity."

Hearing this, Zhu Guoqiang was stunned for a while, he didn't expect Jiang Jiu to make such a choice and fled to the outside of the gate.

In fact, for them, this may be their only way to live. No matter who is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to let Jiang Jiu let them go, after all, their surrender directly led to Chongzhen's death, and these people must die no matter what!

Now it's a lot easier for them to escape. Although I can't talk about it for a hundred, at least I don't have to think about it for the time being.

"It's okay, it's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let him go. It's just the itch of ringworm scabies, it's not a problem, and now it's ......"

Looking up in the direction of the capital, Zhu Guoqiang smiled proudly.

"Lone is going to the capital."

Go to the capital!

Do?

Of course, he ascended the throne and became an emperor!
