Chapter 473: Poor Kou Mo Chasing
The next morning, in the middle of the hour.
The Model Army and the Dashun Army officially carried out the body exchange ceremony of Emperor Chongzhen in Chaoyangmen, and there were hundreds of people such as Zhang Baozhu, the empress of the Apocalypse, and the older Li Xuanzhi.
Although many people in the Dashun Army are high-spirited and look at Xu Changqing's gang of 'old and young relics of the former Ming Dynasty' when they look at jokes, they are still a little measured, and Emperor Chongzhen's treatment has always been guaranteed.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was sealed in a golden silk nan wooden coffin, his clothes were complete, and he didn't have to do too much to deal with the corpse due to the weather.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, ......"
"The Emperor's ......"
"Woo woo, the emperor ......"
As Emperor Chongzhen's coffin slowly moved forward and went out of Chaoyang Gate, everyone who had been waiting here for a long time suddenly fell to their knees and began to cry.
Although Xu Changqing was in a wheelchair and didn't have to kneel, he also wailed again and again.
No way.
Face lives bigger than the sky.
After a while, as the paper money began to fall in the sky, it directly brought the atmosphere to a level that was almost suffocating.
Chaoyang Gate Inner City Head.
Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing, Liu Fangliang, Gao Yigong and others were all watching this scene from afar.
Seeing that the coffin was about to reach the control of the model army, Liu Zongmin frowned and said, "King Chuang, really, let them go?!" ”
Liu Fangliang and Gao Yigong immediately looked at Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng's brows were also tightly tangled.
At this time, he was indeed faced with an extremely difficult choice!
Will it be to keep its promise and let Xu Changqing and these old and young people leave smoothly, or ...... Treachery, in order to prevent future troubles!
Frankly speaking, Li Zicheng is definitely leaning towards the former.
Not to mention forcing Emperor Chongzhen to death, he didn't feel the slightest discomfort when he dug the ancestral grave of the old Zhu family.
However, the question now is whether Xu Changqing can be retained even if he wants to keep him......
It's okay to keep it, you can let them talk in the vernacular, and give all the pots to Xu Changqing, but if you can't keep it......
Li Zicheng couldn't help but look at Song Xiance.
Song Xiance was also entangled to the extreme at this time.
Dashun has come to this day, how difficult it is, at this time, if Xu Changqing and these old and young relics of the former Ming Dynasty are wiped out, this must be a three-hundred-year world!
And he will make a name in history and enjoy the glory and wealth of more than ten generations.
But the question is whether Xu Changqing can be left!
Song Xiance was scheming, thought for a while and said respectfully: "Emperor, there are gains and losses in this matter, the key is to look at the sons." If the sons and daughters have the heart, do their best, and fight desperately, the chances are still very great, if they don't want to work hard and reduce the damage, this is ......"
kicked the ball back to Li Zicheng's side.
Li Zicheng was suddenly a little unhappy and looked at Liu Zongmin and the others.
Liu Zongmin and the others were also a little dumb at this time.
After all, it's one thing to say things, and it's another thing entirely.
Who is Xu Changqing? By this time, they had already understood very well that this was a real ruthless person! I don't want to work hard, I still want to take down Xu Changqing, what are you kidding?
But at this time, who is willing to fight hard with Xu Changqing?
Seeing the silent reaction of the generals, Li Zicheng couldn't help but feel even more unhappy.
When is this the end of the army's heart?
But he couldn't show it at this time......
"Long live the Emperor!"
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live......"
At this time, in the battle formation of the model army, a thunderous shout suddenly sounded, and Li Zicheng and the others hurriedly looked over.
Seeing that the model army was almost in formation, from their point of view, there were patches of red forests everywhere, and all kinds of weapons were well-equipped, even if the war started immediately.
But on their side, if they mobilize the army and then go to the battle, I am afraid that two hours will not be enough......
How else to play?
Li Zicheng couldn't help but sigh: "These old and young people of the former Ming Dynasty can be regarded as having a little conscience. If so, how can we do such a perfidious thing? However, the general trend is in my Dashun, let them survive for a few days! ”
"The Emperor Shengming......"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly patted their ass.
……
As early as a few days ago, Xu Changqing and the generals had formulated a complete breakthrough plan, at this time, with the coffin of Emperor Chongzhen and Zhang Baozhu, Li Xuanzhi, and the remaining princes and nobles coming over, Xu Changqing gave an order, and the model army immediately began to retreat.
Soon, the two large battalions set up by the Dashun Army in the eastern direction received orders and began to evacuate, while the sappers and civilians of the Model Army quickly rushed forward and began to fill in the earth and push the wall.
At a little past noon, the huge crowd of more than 60,000 or nearly 70,000 people of the model army came out of the encirclement of the Dashun army, and in an instant, galloped all the way to the east.
At this time, Xu Changqing, who had already arrived more than ten miles away, looked back at the distant Jingshi City again, and was a little emotional for a while.
This time apart, when I see this majestic city again, I really don't know when it will be.
But this mess is already like this, it is beyond the reach of manpower, even if he is reluctant, Xu Changqing must let it go!
"Go home! Go back to Haicheng for the New Year! ”
Thinking about it, Xu Changqing suddenly roared.
"Go home, go back to Haicheng for the New Year!"
"Oh, go home, go back to Haicheng......"
The crowd was quickly ignited, and countless children shouted without thinking.
Looking at the familiar faces in front of him and the coffin of Emperor Chongzhen, the corners of Xu Changqing's mouth couldn't help but set off a slight smile.
Even if the situation collapses again, I will plant the seeds myself!
……
Xu Changqing and the Model Army officially retired, and Li Zicheng also moved to the Forbidden City in a grand manner.
But before he had time to enjoy the wonderful harem life, a thousand affairs came to him.
Because the Yangxin Palace was heavily damaged before, Li Zicheng did not have an inner study at this time, and the meeting could only be held in the Imperial Palace of the Great Dynasty first.
At this time, Niu Jinxing was reporting to Li Zicheng and everyone about the current expenses of the Jingshi.
Niu Jinxing can be regarded as having a correct mentality at this time, it is impossible for him to win Song Xiance, since this is the case, it is better to do his part well.
But when Niu Venus had just read a little half, there was an uproar in the hall.
"Strategist, are you mistaken, how can there be so many deficits in the capital? What about the treasury, is the treasury of the former Ming a fake? ”
The green tendons around Liu Zongmin's neck bulged up, and he glared at Niu Jinxing angrily.
"This ......"
Niu Jinxing suddenly looked at Li Zicheng in embarrassment, "The emperor, the minister, the minister has no lie." If you don't believe in the emperor, you can immediately summon the household officials of the former Ming Dynasty to meet you, and you will know if you ask carefully. The minister stayed in the treasury until midnight yesterday, and he really starved to death a rat......"
"Wouldn't it? This dog court is even poorer than us? ”
"@#¥%, it can't be that Xu Changqing hid all the silver, right?"
"What can I do? There are so many of us now, this is the New Year soon, and if we don't have a penny of silver, do we want to drink the northwest wind? ”
"Damn Dog Imperial Court ......"
The hall was in chaos.
Li Zicheng was also a little speechless.
He actually knew that the imperial court was very poor, and Luo Yangxing had reported to him before, but he never expected that the imperial court could be so poor that he really couldn't get a grain of rice.
How else to play?
Fortunately, Li Zicheng kept his back hand and hurriedly looked at Luo Yangxing, the only former Ming courtier at this time.
Luo Yangxing's heart is bitter, this black cauldron that doesn't pee is unruly, and he wants to carry it again...... But he didn't have a choice at all......
I could only pinch my nose and say: "Emperor, the treasury, the treasury has indeed been in deficit, but many nobles have a lot of property in their homes, and there are many fields. Xu Changqing, the former Ming Zhongyi Bo, had already explained before leaving that these properties were left to our Dashun, and they didn't take anything out, in the humble opinion, I Dashun can first seize these properties to save the emergency......"
Everyone was a little relieved, and then their eyes lit up, scrambling to do this job of raiding the house.
……
They are still good at copying the Dashun army, after all, they have done a lot of this kind of thing over the years.
Li Zicheng became the balance of the factions below, and he also racked his brains, basically led by the five major generals, and each of them was divided into an area.
But even so, there are often fights and confrontations.
Soon, three days passed, Li Zicheng took the account book and looked at it, and he was suddenly a little blind again.
made such a big noise, and copied the mansions of several princes, and the house of Zhou Kui, the father of Queen Zhou, was also copied, but in the end, he only got hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
This made Li Zicheng's face gloomy for a while!
He couldn't accept the result!
At this time, there were more than a million people in the capital, and he himself brought nearly a million, adding up, this is more than two million people!
What is this concept?
Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, even if all the food is bought into rice, is it enough for so many people to eat for a few days?
But even if Li Zicheng is not happy in his heart, there are some things he really can't say, let alone say.
The brothers have finally won the country, can you not give the brothers some benefits? So what is everyone playing with you for?
finally dispersed the dynasty, Li Zicheng summoned Niu Jinxing and asked for details.
There are many things that he can turn a blind eye to, but he must know the details.
Niu Jinxing could only report with a bitter face: "Emperor, this, this is a long story." It is mainly the property of these princes and nobles, mostly fields, land deeds, shops, and even cultural jewelry...... But there has been a war in the field over the years, and the surrounding area of Jingshi has withered, and there is almost no accounting. Among them, some of them have some grain in stock at home, but most of them are old grain from last year......"
Listening to Niu Jinxing's word-by-word statement, Li Zicheng's heart was worse than eating flies.
What a thing!
Where is this flowery country? It's a mess......
He Li Zicheng will not talk about making money for a while, I am afraid that the wife he has saved over the years will have to lose it......
No wonder Xu Changqing's grandson ran faster than a rabbit......
But at this time, he was powerless to change at all, his head was full of bags, and his hair, which was already a lot whiter, was about to turn white for a while.
……
Just when Li Zicheng was worried, Xu Changqing and the team had already passed through Tongzhou and entered the Grand Canal at this time, and the speed suddenly accelerated a lot.
Just as Xu Changqing had expected before.
The Wandering Army sent a lot of guards to keep an eye on the movements of the Model Army, but none of the elite cavalry appeared, but the Model Army did not collect at night, and heard a lot of news in the capital through various channels.
It's actually quite understandable.
There are very few people who really take a long-term view, have big plans and big visions.
Although the organizational structure of the Dashun Army has determined Li Zicheng's supreme leadership, many things are not something that Li Zicheng can say in a word!
He had to compromise!
Liu Zongmin, Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Xiyao, which of these people is not the head of the army?
If you don't consult with your brothers, you want to be arbitrary? Just kidding!
The prestige of the model army, at this time, in the exile army, has long been known to everyone, and no one knows it.
At this time, the model army is also a 'poor man', just like the old saying: "Don't chase the poor guy!" ”
At this time, in this state, let alone the leaders of the Great Shun Army, even if they are small army leaders, who is willing to give up the prosperous and gentle township of Jingshi and run over to fight with the model army? Is the brain show funny?
And the news that the Wandering People's Army has never pursued the main force has been firmly controlled by Xu Changqing, and the morale of the team is also extremely high, and the speed is getting faster and faster.
According to the current situation, it may not take 20 days, and half a month is to rush back to Haicheng, and everyone can spend the New Year smoothly in Haicheng.
However, just when Xu Changqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and relax, there was finally accurate news from Liaoxi!
