When the news of Wu Sangui's 'borrowing teachers to help suppress' reached the hands of Zheng Zhilong of Jinmen, Emperor Chongzhen had already set off for the south. With the first sum of silver sent by Zheng Zhilong, he happily went south.

Hundreds of civil and military officials who were like dead uncles were left crying on the dock and calling their fathers and mothers.

Otherwise, Zheng Zhilong felt that he would be able to watch Emperor Chongzhen play a big change of face again.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty has fallen to the point where it is now, the role of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not inferior to Li Zicheng. Liao salary is the one that has the longest time, the largest apportionment, and the deeper the people's anger among the three major levies.

The ministers of the Ming court have long said: The maladministration of the world, the worst thing to do is to increase the salary, so that the people are poor and steal, and then increase the salary, and then for the practice of each side, and increase the salary. However, these three salaries, several times the positive supply, tired of the small people, fat scraping, far away for more than 20 years, near more than 10 years, the world is screaming, day and night......

Of course, this is a bit unfair and reasonable, but it can be regarded as hitting the nail on the head.

As a result, this additional Liao salary, which caused the people in the world to resentment and the Guanning border army, finally became their first mortal enemy, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, to enter the south of the Guan, Emperor Chongzhen is afraid that he will vomit blood after knowing this news.

Zheng Zhilong ignored this, he only knew that the time had come for him to reach an armistice agreement with Li Zicheng.

"You go and tell Li Zicheng that the Tartars will definitely enter the customs, this is their golden opportunity, and Dolgon will not stand still because of Li Zicheng's army. Wu Sangui's Guanning army had 40,000 people, plus Gaodi's soldiers and horses was 50,000, and the Tartars could easily make up 100,000 people. Li Zicheng can sit firmly on the dragon chair in Yanjing City, it depends on whether he can pass the next level. ”

Zheng Zhilong knew very well that whether it was really Wu Sangui or the Qing army, Li Zicheng couldn't sit under Yanjing City and wait. Otherwise, Wu Sangui's army would cause a commotion among many of his former Ming civil and military officers; The Tartars went deep into Beizhili for hundreds of miles, and the iron cavalry ravaged the mountains and rivers of the Han family, and it would also make Li Zicheng lose face.

They all went deep into the customs and whipped the Central Plains, so what are the differences between his Dashun New Dynasty and Zhu Ming's Old Dynasty?

Zheng Zhilong didn't expect Li Zicheng to win this fateful battle, Li Zicheng's strength was too poor, he just hoped that Li Zicheng could inflict more and greater damage on the Tartars.

Because as far as the battle of a stone in his memory is concerned, it was really too easy for the Manchus to win.

The bitter and bloody battles were all fought by Wu Sangui and the Guanning army, and Dolgon took advantage of the exhaustion of both sides to ride out lightly, so he defeated Li Zicheng in one fell swoop without much effort.

Isn't it true that the two sides fight as badly as possible?

Burning Man Array, Fire Horse Array, and Grenades, Zheng Zhilong believes that Li Zicheng still has a group of men who are not afraid of death, and when the time comes, he is fully prepared, and he may not be able to make the Manchus suffer a big loss. Although Li Zicheng still has little hope of winning!

In Wuqing County, Hao Shaoqi and Zhang Nai looked at Zheng Zhilong's envoy in front of them, and their brains were dizzy. Emperor Chongzhen only left on the front foot, and Zheng Zhilong, who was loyal and courageous, was about to 'negotiate peace' with Li Zicheng on the back foot?

This sudden upheaval was really beyond the expectations of the two, if Luo Hu was still there, he might still be able to show a little calmer, but now Luo Hu was sent to supervise the second general of the white horse to attack Luanzhou.

However, although Hao Shaoqi and Zhang Nai were a little dizzy, they could still understand the words.

In order to show his sincerity, Zheng Zhilong specially gave Li Zicheng a generous gift. Tell them a special news that Wu Sangui surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and people want to 'borrow teachers to help suppress' and lure the Tartars into the customs to beat Li Zicheng.

Then naturally, Li Zicheng can win his conditions, and if the two sides temporarily cease fighting, he will tell Li Zicheng that there are several places where grain is stored nearby, that is, around Gyeonggi. The grain in it can reach at least 100,000 stones, and there are many other substances.

After Hao Shaoqi and Zhang Nai came back to their senses, their faces changed drastically.

On the other hand, he sent someone to report to the Jingshi quickly, and on the other hand, he continued to talk in detail with the envoy. And talking and talking, they all saw Zheng Zhilong's plan clearly.

The brothers are staring at the wall and out of the obscurity. In a word, Li Zicheng and Zheng Zhilong are both Han Chinese, although Li Zicheng has a problem with his brain, and posthumously crowned Li Jiqian as his ancestor, instead of looking at Li Shimin, Li Guang and the like. But everyone has Han blood in each other's veins. But the Manchus were Tartars and outsiders.

This northern country, the Ming Dynasty has lost it, and it may be in the hands of the Han people, isn't it better than falling into the hands of the Tartars?

It is better for the meat to rot in the pot than to be eaten by outsiders.

Therefore, under the threat of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, let's not do it yet. You don't care if what he meant before is true or not, deal with the Tartars first. Let's see if Li Zicheng can withstand the combined attack of Wu Sangui and the Tartars.

If you can't hold it, Li Zicheng of Yanjing City doesn't want to sit firmly.

Zheng Zhilong's meaning is very clear, and he will not make any effort to help Li Zicheng drag down the Manchu Qing, although he has a strong sailor in Jinmen.

And in terms of Li Zicheng's strength, in the face of the combined forces of the Manchu Qing and Wu Sangui, who dares to say that he will definitely win?

If they win, the two sides will continue to fight each other. Zheng Zhilong didn't plan to leave Jinmen. But if Li Zicheng fails, he won't need to pay attention to Zheng Zhilong of Jinmen in the future, right?

"Traitor? That's a good word. Look at that Wu Sangui is the traitor of the Han people. actually voted for Tartar, ignoring the situation, he is not a traitor, who is a traitor? ”

In the Forbidden City, Li Zicheng, who was dressed in a dragon robe, scolded angrily. He has never really started the sword soldiers against Wu Sangui, and he has offered him a reward and a promise, although he also has a calculation in his heart to finally solve the big mountain of Guan Ningjun, but he is also sincere to Wu Sangui, isn't he? How did Wu Sangui repay him?

Unexpectedly, he would rather vote for Tartar than for him, the Emperor of Dashun, Li Zicheng couldn't wait to swallow Wu Sangui alive.

"Your Majesty. Zheng Zhilong is cunning and cunning, and he can't fully believe his words? Chen Yan opened his mouth and said. He also counted on Wu Sangui to support him in the court after serving Li Zicheng.

"You can't trust it all, but you can't ignore it. The minister thought that His Majesty should quickly order the Marquis of Ci (Liu Fangliang) to lead a large army to aid the Beijing Division, and then make people spy on Shanhaiguan. Zheng thief's words, Wu Sangui has already issued a letter and posted a notice, since this is the case, His Majesty should send someone to Shanhaiguan secretly, and you can find out if it is true or false. Niu Jinxing glanced at Chen Yan and said something quite reasonable.

Song Xiance, Li Yan, Gu Junen, etc. are all like this.

Li Zicheng: Of course, this is the safest way, and it is still impossible to judge whether Wu Sangui really wants to 'borrow teachers to help suppress'. But there was a faint crisis in his heart, and he directly told him that Zheng Zhilong was not lying.

"If it's fake, everything is naturally worry-free. But if it's true, how should we deal with it? ”

How many soldiers and horses are left in the Dashun army in the capital, Li Zicheng knows very well in his heart. After removing Tang Tong, Bai Guangen and Ma Ke, there were only 70,000 soldiers and horses left under his command, such as the capital did not accommodate a few Ming troops, and the soldiers and horses left by Emperor Chongzhen to defend the city were either old and weak, or newly recruited soldiers, and when the army entered the city, they either fled home, or surrendered directly and were also reduced.

70,000 people, why should some people be left to defend the city? The soldiers and horses that can kill Shanhaiguan, including Liu Tichun in Jizhou, are only 60,000 people.

And if Liu Fangliang can bring troops to help, it will actually make Li Zicheng feel that it is a drop in the bucket.

Liu Fangliang's 100,000 army is a lot, but it is actually a lot, not 100,000 but 70,000 or 80,000, but there are too many recruits in it. Moreover, after attacking the Central Plains and Qilu provinces, a lot of troops were divided, and now Liu Fangliang, who is stationed in Baoding, is afraid that there are no more than 30,000 people in his hands. And can there be 10,000 people who can really be called elite veterans inside?

Thinking of the Wu Sangui army and the Manchu soldiers and horses mentioned by Zheng Zhilong, this rough calculation, the Dashun army is 1:2 and is at an absolute disadvantage.

Even counting the three general soldiers of Tang Baima, as well as the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu, they are still disadvantaged.

Not to mention the difference in combat power.

Li Zicheng was depressed. He is the son of heaven, he inherits the destiny of the heavens, and he responds to the people. Why did Zheng Zhilong cause him a headache, and Wu Sangui also made a fuss? And it's big when it's a fuss.

Zheng Zhilong fought very well, but his troops were limited, and he had more than enough to defend and not enough to attack. Wu Sangui is different, he has 50,000 border troops in his hands, and there are Tartars behind him to respond, and hundreds of thousands of troops are overwhelming, Li Zicheng is really a little unbearable.

Because he has few soldiers.

"It's not just Cihou, but also Haohou (Li Guo)." Li Zicheng thought about it and felt that it was not safe, so he simply pulled a tiger guarding Jinxi over. "Summons the order to Taiyuan, let the Marquis of Hao converge with Jiang Xuan, quickly mobilize the soldiers and horses of Jinxi, and gather the Beijing division."

It's just that the time is stretched out in this way.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the Tartar may have been prepared, but its army and soldiers are united, and now it is the spring ploughing season, that is, it is necessary to raise it and go south, and it will take continuous time. Without the support of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui's men and horses are naturally stable to stay at Shanhaiguan, but if they want to send troops to the east, they will not be able to do it. Li Yan hurriedly said.

But Li Zicheng is still depressed. Song Xiance hurriedly handed a look to Niu Jinxing, this is about to be enthroned ceremony, Prime Minister Niu Cheng has prepared a complete set of etiquette, and this is also rare for Li Zicheng before. Because his background is too low, he is super interested in these vain things.

But when Song Xiance and Li Yan walked out of the Forbidden City, the two were relatively speechless.

Wu Sangui lowered the possibility of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which they had already mentioned. But Li Zicheng obviously didn't take it to heart, he had his own answer in his heart, and he still wanted to do that. But no one could have imagined that Zheng Zhilong's navy and army outside the Guanguan would be contained in North Korea at this juncture, and there was no containment of the Manchu Qing at all, which was too unexpected for them.

But fortunately, Li Zicheng is already mobilizing troops. Zheng Zhilong sent information to people early, which really helped them a lot.

Not to mention, as long as the two sides have a tacit understanding in this matter, Dashun can still receive a sum of grain, which is also a real benefit.

The officials in the capital fled before, and later events showed that Dashun still got a lot of goods. And it's logical to take it, and it's natural to take it. The impact of "torture and recovery of stolen goods" discussed by the group of rough men is much smaller.

tortured and recovered stolen goods, and also drew the red line to the six-rank official, Li Yan was most worried that Dashun's move would attract the rejection of the entire gentry class.

It's the entire civilian clique that is guilty of doing this.

But things turned out far more than they had expected. Looking at it now, although he ran away from Emperor Chongzhen, countless dignitaries and dignitaries, and ran away with a large amount of wealth, he was not a blessing in disguise for Dashun Dynasty.

Especially when the Great Shun Dynasty still had to face the two strong enemies of Wu Sangui and the Manchu Qing.
