Li Zicheng, who was in the capital, of course didn't know that there would be so many people thinking about his head, waiting to use his head to achieve their own goals. For him, who thinks he is the "true dragon emperor", except for not looking in the mirror to see if there are horns on his head, the whole person is completely immersed in the dream of being an emperor.

Although he tried his best to calm himself down, his heart was very excited, and he kept thinking about it, and suddenly remembered that when he was a post man at the post station, he was sent to an unknown number of white eyes, and even the situation of being beaten in the past, and also recalled many difficult past events after the uprising, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"Sure enough, it's today!"

Let's be the emperor today!

But there are a few who rebel, and a few who don't want to be emperors. On the way to cook, Li Zicheng thinks during the day and dreams at night. Dreaming of becoming an emperor one day.

Now he has finally sat in this Jinluan Palace and finally become the emperor. This dragon chair is really different.

This is a dragon chair that can only be made by a real dragon emperor!

Being an emperor is very different from ordinary people. When ordinary people eat, they eat, but the emperor eats. After breakfast in advance, Li Zicheng sat in the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, preparing for the day's affairs.

At this time, Li Zicheng was in a state of extreme excitement, always thinking about various problems, and in his thoughts, he thought of the question of calling "lonely" and "me", and couldn't help but smile.

In the past, he has always used the word "I" to refer to himself, and he has been using it for more than 30 years. After killing Luo Rucai last year and calling himself the queen of Xinshun, he called himself "Lonely" according to the suggestions of the ministers, and he was no stranger to the title of "Lonely", after all, the kings on the stage all called themselves "Lonely". However, he was still accustomed to being called "I" when he spoke, which even caused Yang Yongyu, Yu Shangyou and other ministers who were "from the dragon" in Xiangyang to admonish. After arriving in Xi'an, Xi'an was changed to Chang'an, and the situation was very different.

After the civil and military officials knelt down and kowtowed to him three times and nine times, the mountain shouted long live, regarded him as the founding emperor of Dashun, and suggested that he call himself "I" in order to correct the situation. Of course, he repeatedly expressed humility and promised to change his name to "me" after arriving in the capital. Now not only in Beijing, but in the imperial city? Although there is no grand ceremony yet? It can also be called "me". I don't get used to it for a while, but I will get used to it soon. Thinking less than two years? From calling himself "I" to being called "Lonely" and then to being called "I", Li Zicheng, who was full of joy, couldn't help laughing.

"Huh? It's a pity that it will take more than ten days to ascend the throne, which is really ...... I'm a little anxious! ”

In fact? These days? He was in a really good mood, even if it was because Li Guo reported shocking bad news in the guilty plea at the beginning - when he pursued the "Emperor of the Zhu Family", he was blocked by the official army, although all the officers and troops were annihilated, but the "Emperor of the Zhu Family" fled.

It ended in a fiasco!

Can it be subsequent? Someone reported that Chongzhen's body was found? It was learned that he had hanged himself. Li Zicheng breathed a sigh of relief, that day he looked at Chongzhen's corpse, and did not feel the joy and excitement of victory, but had very complicated thoughts and feelings, and in the end he just sighed in his heart. Whether it's him or not? Others too, seeing the phrase "The thief is coming?" I'd rather break the corpse than hurt a single person?" All of them were deeply moved.

Hey, it's like I'm going to kill people......

Again? Li Zicheng thought sullenly.

They are now my people, too!

How could I kill my own people? It's as if only you, the Zhu family, love the people? If your old Zhu family really loves the people? How could so many people in Shaanxi starve to death, and how could so many people come to join us?

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng's heart was not very comfortable. After all, in the future, Emperor Chongzhen's suicide note will definitely be written into the history books.

What was recorded in the history books at that time?

It was he who Emperor Chongzhen thought about the people until he was dying, okay.

You're a dog emperor, and you're really good at pretending.

However, soon Li Zicheng still packed up his mood and devoted himself to work, after all, we are the king of entrepreneurship and must be diligent.

But the content on the fold made him unhappy - Wu Sangui led 50,000 elite Guanning troops to attack.

50,000 Guan Ning troops!

The content on the fold made Li Zicheng's brows furrowed.

So he immediately sent the military advisor Song Xiance and Prime Minister Sun Kewei, and then told them the news that Wu Sangui was leading the troops to attack.

Li Zicheng asked:

"Military advisor, do you say that this Wu Sangui is really stupid or fake, he doesn't know, his father is in our hands?"

As in history, Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang was trapped in the capital and became a hostage of Li Zicheng.

Foolish?

Song Xiance said: How can he, Wu Sangui, also be the chief soldier of Liaodong, how can he be stupid?

"Your Majesty,"

Seeing that the army division pinched his fingers again, Sun Ke said,

"It's not important at the moment, the important thing is that Guan Ningjun is coming, his father is not in our hands, it's no different, there are too many dilemmas of loyalty and filial piety since ancient times, to put it closer, when Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming rebelled in Dengzhou, they were detained in Lushun to guard Huanglong's mother, wife and young son, and then took the golden hairpin on Huanglong's mother to surrender Huanglong. Huang Long faced his mother's golden hairpin, although tears rained down, he just bowed to the hairpin and refused to surrender. Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming turned to lure Huang Long's twelve-year-old son down, wanting to coerce Huang Long through the child. But Huanglong's youngest son was very temperamental, and scolded Kong and Geng and was killed. Huang Long's mother and wife were also killed. Your Majesty, for loyal ministers, persuading him to surrender with the lives of his parents and wives is not only useless, but will make him fight desperately between grief and anger. ”

They are no strangers to Huanglong, after all, when this happened, they hadn't rebelled yet? When the news of the imperial court came, they still thought about the loyalty of others.

For the middle level, threatening his family is just forcing the other party to fight to the death. Far from being useless, it will be ridiculed by the world.

is like threatening Liu Bang and his father to Yu in the play, which made the world laugh at it for thousands of years. I Li Zicheng can't let the world laugh at me.

"Yes, yes, yes......"

Li Zicheng nodded.

"That's true, the hatred of killing his father is not shared, he kills it regardless of it, he must just want to be a loyal minister, if I really have to kill his father! He will definitely fight hard, threatening him with his father, it's really a bad idea......"

Although he pinched his fingers and didn't figure out why, Song Xiance still said.

"Your Majesty, even if Wu Sangui leads Guan Ningjun over, what's the matter? But with only 50,000, with my 300,000 soldiers and horses, can I still deal with it? In Yichen's view, the so-called 50,000 Guanning troops are not more than 10,000 elites, as long as a general is sent to lead 100,000 troops, and 10,000 old battalion soldiers are enough to defeat the enemy. ”

Li Zicheng sighed.

"The old battalion soldiers have been fighting for many years, they have long been exhausted, and they are now resting, if they are transferred to the battle, I am afraid that they will be unwilling, after all, as I said earlier, when I enter the capital, there will be a reward, this reward is ......."

I can't send it out!

Li Zicheng also wants to give a reward in his heart. But he has no money to give!

"This ......"

As a military advisor, Song Xiance didn't know that the Dashun Army had changed after entering Beijing.

Before entering Beijing, the Dashun army was all fighting bravely. But after entering Beijing, they all wanted to compete for officials, rewards, and industries. The capital of Nuoda is the big fat in the eyes of the big guys, and everyone wants to take a bite!

It's really normal to have such thoughts, after all, the big guy fights the world just to sit in the world, and to sit in the world is naturally to enjoy.

Li Zicheng wants to ascend the throne as an emperor, but what about the emperor below? Of course, it is about meritorious deeds. Don't say it's a general or something, even if it's an old battalion soldier, or even a new recruit who has just arrived, you have to give an explanation.

You can't let everyone work in vain, right?

The founding heroes are not rewarded, and the throne is unstable! If this matter is not settled, the people below will definitely break up. It's not just as simple as breaking up, and even if some people's anger comes up, they may even directly replace him as the emperor.

Whether it is the military household system founded by Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty, or the Eight Banners system before and after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, in fact, it is a reward for the founding heroes, the generals get knighthoods, the middle and lower-level officers become the hereditary officers of the guard, and the soldiers get the land.

And all of this is the reward of the world.

Compared to their rise too fast as the destroyer of order, Li Zicheng, three or four years ago, he was still a thief who was chased by the Ming army, but now he has conquered the capital and become the emperor! However, compared with his military glory, his accumulation in all aspects was obviously insufficient, and the lack of talent led to his failure to establish a complete bureaucratic system, and even the local management system was not perfect.

The imperfection of the bureaucratic system and the local management system made it impossible for him to grant land like in the early Ming Dynasty, nor to issue "flag salaries" like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and even he couldn't even collect taxes.

If you turn your face and don't recognize people, it is estimated that the gang will break up immediately.

But "King Chuang came and didn't pay for food", what did he, the son of Dashun, get to reward the heroes?

Originally, I thought that I could get silver in the treasury of the Ming Dynasty and use it to reward the three armies, but I never thought that the empty treasury of the imperial court could starve to death of mice.

In fact, along the way, Li Zicheng also grabbed a lot, but when he entered the capital, the money spent was like flowing water, not to mention the other 500,000 troops, that is, if one person was rewarded with a few taels of silver, he had to go out with millions of taels.

It is good to be the emperor in the capital.

But Li Zicheng didn't expect that before the emperor could act, he would owe a lot of debts first!

And he didn't dare not repay this debt!

If you don't give them an explanation, it is estimated that they will give him an explanation.
