The entire abacus city was boiling inside and out.

In this kind of boiling public resentment, it seems that Wei Zaode and others were captured and raided, which does not seem to be a big event. Even if they are former cabinet elders and six scholars, there are no people and gentry to cry out for them. On the contrary, when it was learned that these individuals were all in collusion with Wu Sangui and secretly connected with Dongyu, the people were all cursed.

The people's grievances are surging, and the people of Jinmen can't reach Wu Sangui, who is hundreds of miles away, so can they transfer their grievances to Wei Zaode and others?

Only the protégés of these people have not given up.

After all, they are all big guys, and everyone has a lot of protégés and former officials in Tianjin.

This person went to the door of Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the former military department.

But I didn't expect it to be boring.

Zhang Jinyan is Li Zicheng's person, black and white, there are countless real evidence, he just has to jump ship. At this moment, I don't hate Wu Sangui to the core!

is asking people to erect targets at home, paste the portrait of Wu Sangui, and slash and stab it.

Because he looked at the drawing that his family brought for him, he found that this drawing was absolutely realistic, and the nose, eyes and ears of the portrait on it were not Wu Sangui. There are no ten points like seven or eight points.

A person who used to be a dignified person has now shaved off his hair all around, leaving only a handful of cups on his head, braided into braids hanging down the back of his head, and a rat tail of money, which is extremely ugly at that end.

"Traitor, the old man can't wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood......" Zhang Jinyan's excited face was as red as bloodshot. I can't even lift my head to scold the people who come to the door to ask for fun.

No one will defend Wu Sangui not to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but to "borrow teachers to help suppress" or something.

Everyone is a black-hearted old fox, what are you talking about the White Lotus?

Is there a "borrowing a teacher's help" to shave one's hair and make it easy to obey?

Although you can say that Zheng Zhilong harbors evil intentions, because he can't come up with so many portraits of Wu Sangui in a short period of time, and all of them are so realistic, and they are all money rat tail versions. Zheng Zhilong must have gotten the news many days ago, but he kept it a secret, and only asked people to make preparations in secret.

Although such an act is despicable and shameless, it is still within the rules of the officialdom game. Zheng Zhilong didn't flip the table directly. Although the relatives and friends, the same year, and the protégés of those unlucky people will rescue them in many ways, few of them regard Zheng Zhilong as an enemy who does not share the sky.

And no one is really worried that Wei Zaode and others will lose their lives.

Because according to the rules, Zheng Zhilong will definitely report to Jinling quickly, and he will also send Wei Zaode and them to Jinling to wait for the emperor's disposal. An official of this grade is not something he can behead at the first order.

It was Zhang Jinyan's performance that surprised Zheng Zhilong, who was paying attention later, could it be that this guy he had never heard of in his previous life was still a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty? But no matter how loyal Zhang Jinyan, a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, is to Li Zicheng, no matter how worried he is about the Son of Dashun, it will be of no help to Li Zicheng's situation.

After the defeat of Shanhaiguan, Li Zicheng retreated to the capital overnight, and stopped calling until he reached Tongzhou. Whether it is Zunhua or Jizhou in front, the Dashun army is untenable.

Li Zicheng left Li Guo and Zhang Nai to lead troops to garrison Tongzhou to resist the pursuing soldiers, and he led the remnants of the defeated army back to the capital.

Niu Jinxing received a notice in advance and led Li Yan and other civil and military officials to greet him in Desheng Gate. But the etiquette is hasty.

Li Zicheng is still dressed when he left Beijing, but his face is dark and his face is full of dirt. Even the oolong horse under the crotch has completely lost its former brilliance after running around for days, and its fur is dull and wet and sticking to its body.

Gao had already received news yesterday that Li Zicheng had been defeated at Shanhaiguan and that he would return to Beijing today. Since Li Zicheng left the palace, she burned incense and prayed every day, hoping that God would bless Li Zicheng safely. Although she is defeated now, but in the end she is still alive, and her heart is half relieved.

According to her thoughts, even if Li Zicheng lost the battle at Shanhaiguan, it would only be a temporary defeat, and at most he would withdraw from Yanjing. I didn't expect the impact of this battle to be enormous. After all, even if she loses Yanjing, she can also retreat to Chang'an, and Dashun is still big.

Niu Jinxing, Li Yan and the six government Shangshu and Shilang escorted Li Zicheng to the Xinhua Gate. Li Zicheng ordered them to go back to the yamen to do business, and only ordered Niu Jinxing, Tian Jianxiu, Song Xiance, Li Yan, and Gu Junen to follow him into the palace to discuss matters. Liu Zongmin was injured and had already returned to the mansion.

After a hasty wash in the harem and a change of clothes, Li Zicheng summoned everyone in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace.

Niu Jinxing, Tian Jianxiu, Song Xiance, Li Yan, Gu Junen and others saluted him, and Li Zicheng directly waved his hand, "The current situation is urgent, you don't have to be polite, hurry up and discuss the matter." ”

Then he asked Song Xiance, "Can you find an imperial doctor to treat Jiexuan?" "Jiexuan is Liu Zongmin's cousin. As for the imperial doctor of Dashun, he is just a famous doctor among the people in Yanjing City. The real imperial doctor was either taken to Jinling by Emperor Chongzhen, or left in Jinmen by Zheng Zhilong.

Song Xiance naturally wouldn't ignore this, and Li Zicheng's face finally got better.

"The defeat of Shanhaiguan was too miserable, more than half of the more than 100,000 troops were lost, and there were only 30,000 or 40,000 people who returned to the capital with their quotas. The Marquis of Hao and the Marquis of Yi also supervised Jiang Xuan, Wang Chengyun, and Ma Ke to stay in Tongzhou. However, the Tartar soldiers are too strong and will come immediately, and Tongzhou is unprepared for both grain and grass and the utensils to defend the city, so I am afraid that it will not be able to defend it. ”

Li Zicheng has not been defeated, but he has never lost a battle that has hit him so hard.

He was hit in the face at the pinnacle of his life.

He knew very well the seriousness of this defeat, and with such a victory between the Manchu Qing and Wu Sangui, he would not even be able to sit firmly on half of the northern land.

Li Zicheng turned back to Li Yan and asked, "How is the situation in the capital?" ”

Li Yan said: "The hearts of the people in the capital are fluctuating, there are many rumors, and the ministers have made preparations to defend the city. ”

"You have just entered Yanjing, and the foundation is not solid, so you have to go through such a big difficulty, and it is difficult for the capital to hold on." Li Zicheng is now bent on returning to Chang'an, and the defeat of Shanhaiguan has knocked out his desire to win. At least in the short term, he won't be able to rise again.

Li Yan listened to the great urgency. "Your Majesty, this Yanjing is the place where the dragon's qi is favored, once it is abandoned, it will be counterattacked."

Li Zicheng's loss of Jingshi is equivalent to losing the orthodox inheritance, which has a fatal impact on Dashun. Moreover, there are so many young and strong people in this Yanjing City, and there are so many food and materials, it is a pity to lose them.

Niu Jinxing only shook his head like a plucked drum, "Zhu Ming has been operating in Yanjing for more than 200 years, and I have never seen the people here working for Zhu Ming that day. How many days have we only been here? Kindness and righteousness have not been given, and Yanjing City cannot be defended. ”

As soon as he said this, Song Xiance, Gu Junen, and Tian Jianxiu nodded one after another. It's not just Li Zicheng who wants to return to Guanzhong, they are all too.

Li Yan had never experienced the Battle of Shanhaiguan, and he didn't know the appearance of these soldiers and horses who returned to the city, as well as the troops behind the palace in Tongzhou, that is, the spirit and spirit were gone. The Dashun army can no longer fight.

What's more, although Yanjing City is strong, can it be difficult and dangerous in Tongguan? Can there be mountains and rivers that are easy to keep?

Li Yan hurriedly said: "Even if Yanjing cannot be defended in the end, Your Majesty should leave someone to make a look of perseverance." Otherwise, how will the people of the world regard me as a great shun? "If you are defeated, you will flee, and even the capital will be lost cleanly, a thief, this is still a thief.

"Your Majesty is in a hurry to return Chang'an and restore the morale of the army, and you should also leave a group of soldiers and horses to stick to Yanjing. This is not only an explanation to the world, but also an obstacle to the pursuers. Otherwise, Tartar and Wu Sangui were in a hurry to chase after them, and the army would not stop, retreating again and again, and their mental strength would only be weaker. In the end, wouldn't it be rumored that all the grass and trees would be defeated, so that they would be defeated again and again? ”

Li Yan's words are reasonable, and I personally asked for my life, stayed in Yanjing, and swore to die as Li Zicheng's palace. That Niu Venus looks at Li Yan no longer pleasing to the eye on weekdays, and now he has nothing to say.

Li Zicheng was also worried that the army would be defeated again and again, and in the end he would not be able to contain the rout, because the quality and composition of these soldiers and horses under his command were too poor and miscellaneous. At that time, let alone half of the rivers and mountains in the north, I am afraid that he will not be able to stay in Chang'an City for a few days.

Li Yan asked for orders to stay in Yanjing, and Li Zicheng responded with a little judgment. At this moment, someone outside suddenly reported urgently, but someone claimed to be from Jinmen outside the palace gate, and came to ask to see Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng and everyone below were all stunned. What did Zheng Zhilong do at this time?

Zheng Zhiguan stood outside the noon gate, to be honest, there was really no need for him to come here in person today. It's really a bit of a risk.

But it's a waste of time to ask someone to spread the word.

The most nervous thing now is time, he came in person, and he could directly bargain with Li Zicheng.

Entering the main hall, he gave a salute first, and Zheng Zhiguan first showed Zheng Zhilong's attitude, Wu Sangui is a traitor and a thief, a man who forgets his ancestors, and Lao Tzu's brothers, sisters-in-law, and nephews don't want them all.

Zheng Zhilong has already sent people to shell Shanhaiguan.

This is good news, which shocked Li Zicheng and his gang when they heard it. No matter how effective the Zheng Junshui Division's shelling of Shanhaiguan can be, anyway, this is a direct turn against Wu Sangui and the Manchu Qing Dynasty. This will certainly have an impact on the latter's subsequent military operations.

Zheng Zhilong's 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers nested in Jinmen, and he directly turned his face with the Tartars, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was very good at not looking at it?

At this time, Zheng Zhiguan was also surprised. He came here mainly for his eldest brother's orders, Zheng Zhilong asked him to make someone greet Li Zicheng, run back, don't change his habits, and set a fire in the Forbidden City before running.

Unexpectedly, this Li Zicheng didn't run, no, it wasn't that he didn't run, he still ran, but he left Li Yan to oversee the army to guard a wave of Yanjing City.

"If there are still people left in the Shun army to guard Yanjing, my Zheng family can help your army?"

After Zheng Zhiguan said this, the faces of the people in the palace changed again. Help the Dashun Army? What does this mean? Does Zheng Zhilong also have the idea of Yanjing City?

"Haha, King Chuang laughed. I, the major general of the Zheng family, are outnumbered, but I didn't think about recovering Yanjing. There is just one object, which can make the four people of the capital hate the Manchu Qing to the bone, and the people's hearts are boiling. Zheng Zhiguan directly called Li Zicheng to be the king, this is not recognizing Li Zicheng's emperorship, but Li Zicheng is not angry, it's all at this time, what kind of etiquette and etiquette, it's all empty heads.

Zheng Zhiguan directly thought of Wu Sangui's money rat tail drawing.

"Easy to shave, money rat tail?"

Li Zicheng was dizzy, Tian Jianxiu, Niu Jinxing and others were all dizzy.

How thin is the braid that can go through the money hole? I can't say too much about the size of the cup. Think about it, such a hairstyle is matched with yourself, it's good to be ugly or not, it's really shameless to go to see your ancestors and ancestors when you die.

"Chuang Wang Rongyu, Chong frame nine years, Huang Taiji in Shengjing after the Jin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty emperor, had a clear order announced: all Han officials and men and women. Dressed in Manchurian style. Men are not allowed to wear large collars and sleeves, and wool hats, and must gird their waists; Women are not allowed to comb their hair or bind their feet." In the second year of Chongde, Huang Taiji reiterated again: "If the clothes and hats of other countries are effective and the women are bound with ester, they are in this dynasty and their hearts are in other countries, and from now on those who commit crimes will be aggravated." ”

"King Chuang may not know that Wu Sangui and his Guan Ning army have all shaved their hair now. Because of this, my uncle was called a 'national thief and traitor'. ”
