Chapter 175: The People Who Eat Melons Want to Watch the Show (Ask for Subscription)

The news of Li Zicheng's entry into Beijing was known when Zheng Zhilong and his troops arrived at Xianghe. Also sent was the news of Bai Guangen, Tang Tong, and Ma Ke's attack.

Because, the Son of Heaven of Dashun asked the soldiers to enter the city, and the four people should not be alarmed. Every family opens their doors and continues to make a living. So, the door of this Jingshi is still open, and Zheng Zhilong's news is convenient.

"Li Zicheng is here to take the entrance examination in Beijing......" He didn't care about the three departments of Bai, Ma, and Tang who attacked, but instead said something about Li Zicheng's entry into Beijing that the people around him couldn't understand.

Chen Ding couldn't understand, the thief army had entered the capital, how could the marshal be involved in the Beijing to catch the exam?

"Haha, what's not to do with that?" Zheng Zhilong looked up to the sky and smiled, the allusion that Taizu said was still very simple and clear. "It's hard to fight the world, but is it easy to sit on the country?"

This Li Zicheng is one of the most famous typical examples in history.

"Entering Yanjing City does not mean that Li Zicheng can win the world. He has Jianyu in the north and Daming in the south, and he can capsize the boat if he is not careful. How similar is this to entering Beijing to take the exam? can be named on the gold list, or he can be named Sun Shan, it depends on what he does. ”

Zheng Zhilong can't figure out what Li Zicheng's future is like now, because he has swept away all the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital. Even if some of these dignitaries and dignitaries were going to suffer on the way of the Shun army's pursuit, the influence was nothing compared to Li Zicheng's torture and recovery of stolen goods in history.

Because these officials 'escaped', the pursuit of the Dashun army was even 'justified'.

As for the historical Dashun Army, its superstructure was completely lost - Li Zicheng was happy in the palace, Niu Jinxing was busy preparing for the enthronement ceremony, organizing the new dynasty scientific expedition, and busy recruiting protégés and disciples; Liu Zongmin was busy torturing and recovering stolen goods, and directly set up a "Biqi Zhenfu Division", made 5,000 pairs of clamping sticks, set up torture instruments in the yamen or roadside, and tortured and recovered stolen goods day and night; One by one, the high-ranking generals lived in the noble mansions in the capital. The low-level soldiers also became presumptuous in the process of raiding their homes again and again. Recklessly acting inside and outside Yanjing City, Liu Zongmin targeted the dignitaries and wealthy gentry, and they targeted the small merchants, hawkers and ordinary people.

In just one month, the political promise of "no levy for three years, no people will be killed" has become nonsense, military discipline has been wasted, and the people have complained, directly from the army of benevolence and righteousness when they first entered the capital, the army of kings, into a gang of robbers and robbers.

Li Zicheng was angry and resentful, the people's hearts were lost, and after the defeat of Shanhaiguan, it collapsed and there was no improvement.

But now Li Zicheng wants to 'do nonsense' and does not have the realistic conditions. Zheng Zhilong is most curious about what Li Zicheng will do in this time and space.

All the officials in the capital were swept away by him, leaving only three or two big cats and kittens, that is, many rich gentry and tycoons also escaped from the capital, and there were no official gentry left in Yanjing City, but the number is not the same as that of the same period in history.

In this case, will he still ask people to "torture and recover stolen goods"? This is obviously impossible.

As for Chen Yan's officials, if they all surrender, they can't fill the Fengtian Palace, and Li Zicheng's brain will attack them?

The current situation is completely different from the same period in history, Emperor Chongzhen ran away, and it is impossible for Li Zicheng to pass on the name of Jiangnan, that is, his 'country' has not yet completely sat down in his heart. In this case, as long as Li Zicheng still has a little brain, he will not unscrupulously attack the official gentry class.

Yes, since last winter, Li Zicheng's Dashun army has completed the takeover of most of the northern mountains and rivers within Shanhaiguan at an unexpected speed, all the way like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. The invasion of the capital by the army has also politically overthrown the rule of the Ming Dynasty led by Zhu Youzhen for 277 years.

At least Li Zicheng's Dashun regime thus obtained the "legitimate right" to replace the Ming Dynasty.

In terms of historical experience, this is already a legitimate dynastic change, and the Dashun Dynasty at this time has become a new Han central dynasty in China, a complete political force, and won the hearts of the people, following the general trend of the world.

It swept the world next and was like a bamboo, with soldiers everywhere and invincible.

Just like Zhu Hongwu's Northern Expedition......

Most of Beizhili has been taken by Liu Fangliang's partial division, only Baoding has some resistance, and the others surrender without a fight. Most of Qilu was also taken by Li Zicheng, and Liu Zeqing fled to Huainan.

It is reported that Kong Yinzhi of Qufu has given Li Zicheng a demoted tablet and enshrined the tablet of Emperor Yongchang of Dashun in Confucius.

And what about Qingzhou City? King Heng's father and son, who were very courageous when the Qing army entered the fortress before, were now blocked by the prefect He Yongqing, and they had already packed up their belongings and fled to Denglai. The prefect He Yongqing's decree is not out of the state city, if Li Shiyuan is still there, He Yongqing may not even be able to sit in the position of the prefect's yamen.

At the same time, the situation is still in Yanzhou, and Deng Fanxi is also anxious.

After Liu Zeqing's retreat, Linqing, Dongchang and other places have all been replaced with the banner of Dashun, and Wang Guobin, the governor of Qilu, is nowhere to be found, leaving only Hou Guoan, the political envoy, to insist in Jinan City.

The situation is really like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, sweeping thousands of miles like a sweep.

But this is not the case, in fact, even Li Zicheng himself has no bottom in his heart. His rise was too fast, after he came out of Shangluo Mountain, he changed from a few thousand people to a million army, and in a short period of time, he swept thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the north, and Li Zicheng's foundation was very empty.

He never formed the basic plate that he absolutely controlled.

Developing too fast and too quickly will have two consequences. First, the team's military and political capabilities can't keep up. Whether it is a civil servant or a military general, a large number of fish and shrimp are mixed, which will only make purity impure; Second, there is simply no time to build base areas. Liu Bang is in the middle, Zhu Yuanzhang has Jiang Zuo, they all have their own basic plates, Liu Bang was defeated by Xiang Yu more than once, and every time he was defeated, he could quickly pull up hundreds of thousands of people. Li Zicheng didn't, Li Zicheng has been doing a rogue, he didn't have time to build a base to win the world, in order to control the territory that was suddenly enlarged many times, he could only use the Ming Dynasty's demoted officials and generals on a large scale, and the two were all occupied, which made his foundation very unsolid.

Because of these demoted officials, it is easy for them to surrender and easy to betray. Who let them have no Li Zicheng's descendants around them to control them?

So as soon as he loses, he will be out of control.

Not to mention that it is not history at the moment, Emperor Chongzhen has already run away, as long as he goes to Jinling to succeed to the throne, it will be a big trouble. This Li Zicheng's world seems to have changed from a mixed universe to a confrontation between the north and the south across the river.

How dare he act as recklessly as he did in history?

From a historical point of view, if Li Zicheng had been able to take a far-sighted view at that time, recognize his own situation, gain a firm foothold, and use the property of the Ming Emperor and the eunuchs to enrich his military spending, it would have been quite a lot, and it would not arouse the disgust of the gentry and civil official groups, and it would have completely solved the problem of military salaries, grain and grass for several years. Then it is not impossible to take the opportunity to reduce the taxes on the peasants, cancel the suppression of the gentry class, unite all the forces that can be united, achieve pacification of the world, and establish a new Han dynasty.

After all, judging from the experience of the first battle of Shanhaiguan, Li Zicheng's main force still has combat effectiveness. Maybe they can't solve the problem of the Manchus as easily as Mount Tai overpower, but as time goes by, with the accumulation of Dashun's strength, the situation will be the same as the Han-Xiongnu War, and the latecomers will prevail.

A revitalized Central Plains dynasty is by no means something that the Manchu Qing dynasty in a corner can resist, and the Han dynasty can continue to shock the Quartet.

However, Li Zicheng made a big mistake in history, that is, at the wrong time, he suppressed the gentry class who had become the mainstay of Chinese society, and completely offended the civilian bureaucracy, which was an extremely unwise decision.

It also shows that Li Zicheng is essentially different from Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, who were the same founding emperors as mud legs. This person definitely does not have the eloquence and strategic vision of Liu and Zhu. Compared with the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, Xu Da and Li Shanchang, the ministers and famous generals under him are not at the same level.

Although the common people are the largest class of Chinese, the gentry control the vast majority of China's social wealth and social influence, and they are the cornerstone of maintaining China's social stability.

In classical China, the establishment of any political power could not be completely opposed to the gentry class, at most you could unite some people against some people, or you could use enough time to cultivate a group of new gentry with their own will to replace the old ones.

Li Zicheng in history was too blind and exposed his true colors prematurely, and completely gave a god-level assist to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

But what about this era? As long as Li Zicheng's brain is not broken, he will not do the same thing as in history, right?

The news sent by the spy report contained a holy decree of Li Zicheng: Yanjing City is broken, the army enters the city by separate routes, and the military discipline must be strict, and no offense must be made, so that the four people can be safe as usual, so that the people can be safe and open the door to surrender. The special edict Liu Zongmin immediately sent a powerful general to inspect the inner and outer cities, and there should be no mistakes. If anyone disturbs the people, show it to the public!

Zheng Zhilong felt that this was a good start, as long as Li Zicheng did not reveal his true face, he would still have a fig leaf, that is, he was really blasted out of the examination room by Wu Sangui and the Tartars in one fell swoop, and he would not be defeated like in history, and he couldn't clean it up.

Not all the gentry in the world are brazen, Zheng Zhilong feels that there are at least some people who are shameless, at least in Huayi's defense.

As long as Li Zicheng's true face has not been revealed, these people may choose to support Li Zicheng under the general situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs.

Therefore, the impact of "torture and looting and recovering stolen goods" is really crucial to the success or failure of Li Zicheng.

After Li Zicheng's true face was revealed, his 'morale' was defeated, and the torture of the officials and gentry in the capital made the gentry class all over the world hate him to the core. The gentry class naturally did not want to live in panic every day, and it became an inevitable choice to collude with the Manchus and all the forces that could unite to drive out this "peasant" regime that deprived them of their financial and political rights and did not play according to the rules of the game for thousands of years.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was able to enter the customs smoothly and sit firmly in the country, and those gentlemen had an unshirkable responsibility.

So, what will be the test results of Li Zicheng in this time and space, Zheng Zhilong is really a hundred curious. Just as he is also curious about Wu Sangui's choice now, Zheng Zhilong subconsciously doesn't believe that Wu Sangui can really go south to King Qin. I don't think Wu Sangui will really serve Li Zicheng.

Because of historical reasons, Wu Sangui, who was angry at the crown, was an absolute villain in his eyes.

Speaking realistically, the homeland of the Guanning army is difficult to leave, and the area of Shanhaiguan and Yongping Mansion, where Wu Sangui is entrenched, is too close to Yanjing City.

But he still believed that Wu Sangui would find a plausible excuse, and then he turned against Li Zicheng.

Zheng Zhilong swept away the Wu family, Liu Zongmin could no longer break into the Wu family and arrest Wu Xiang to torture and plunder, and could no longer take Chen Yuanyuan, so that Wu Sangui could not be angry at the crown and not to say anything, and it was very likely that he would not be able to see Li Zicheng's true face clearly, nor could he see Li Zicheng's true attitude towards him.

Wu Sangui in history, his family wealth was robbed, his father was arrested, and his concubine was occupied, which was also quite miserable. This not only caused him to suffer great personal humiliation, but also made him feel the barbarism and narrow-mindedness of Li Zicheng's regime, and such an act was by no means a true dragon in the world. And Wu Sangui, who has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, has no status in Li Zicheng's eyes, otherwise, Liu Zongmin would dare to do this?

And now?

Zheng Zhilong was faced with two very interesting propositions, and he was really curious. Even he was curious about what the Manchu Qing did after entering the customs.

Historically, Yanjing City is a fragrant bun. Emperor Chongzhen was the first to go out and was killed by Li Zicheng. Fragrant buns became borderlands.

Li Zicheng and the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the same year "entered Beijing to catch the examination", and the two competed for a precious place to catch the examination, and they ate this fragrant bun.

Li Zicheng is like a naughty wild boy, using all his strength, taking the lead and grabbing the first place. But who knows, Li Zicheng had a conflict with the invigilator as soon as he entered the examination room, and before his ass was hot, the Manchu suddenly broke into the examination room, and with the cooperation of the invigilator, Li Zicheng was beaten violently and driven out of the examination room. Immediately, the Manchu Qing Dynasty also turned their faces and denied people, forcibly tore up the exam papers, beat the invigilator as well, and claimed that they would be promoted to higher education if they did not take the exam. In this way, the Manchu Qing Dynasty really went on to higher education, and for a while his grades were not bad, although in the end they were very bad. Chinese history has been rewritten ever since.

But now the Manchu Qing Dynasty has entered Yanjing, and there is a Jinling in the south of the river.

As soon as the Manchu Qing Dynasty in history entered the customs, they dared to play enclosure, play with shaving their hair and being easy to wear, and their methods were bloody and tough, so did the Manchus in this time and space still dare to be so unscrupulous?

Zheng Zhilong's political wisdom makes him unable to see through the fog in front of him, and he doesn't know what changes Li Zicheng, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and even Emperor Chongzhen, who moved the capital south after escaping for his life, will make changes in the future.

However, the first thing he needs to face now is Bai Guangen, Ma Ke, and Tang Tong, who came to pursue, which is nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Xianghe is a county, forty or fifty miles away from Tongzhou, located in its southeast, along the canal and then Wuqing County, after which is the triangle lake, and then the Acropolis of Jinmen.

After driving dozens of miles, Zheng Zhilong's Chinese army had a long line walking half-dead and half-alive in front and behind.

"Tell them that Li Zicheng sent 50,000 troops and chased after ......"
