"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: Zhilong, the general of the left capital governor Longhu and the right attendant of the military department, the chief military officer of Fujian, is deep and resourceful. Personally lead the bear, hold the flag and kill the generals, clear the district Xia, and be loyal and filial piety. …… Now he is named Annanbo, and he will be given an iron coupon ......"

Outside the city of Jinmen, on the bank of the canal, under the watchful eyes of Feng Yuanyang, the governor of Jinmen, and other civil and military officials, Zheng Zhilongxiti Earl, specially entered the Guanglu doctor, added the prince Shaobao, and the right pillar country.

It's just a step into the pinnacle of life.

Because the title of Daming is very rare, not to mention the iron coupon, this is a hereditary title, not a liujue. Now among the generals who are feudal, he is the only one, and Emperor Chongzhen is really a big deal.

I'm afraid I'm really anxious.

This edict of King Qin has been sent out a lot, not to mention that Wu Sangui and Liu Zeqing have not arrived, even Tang Tong, the chief soldier of Jizhen who is close at hand, has not yet come with a whole army.

Seeing that Li Zicheng had killed Xuanfu, how could Emperor Chongzhen not panic?

The Jingshi are in a mess. Feng Yuanyang, the governor of Jinmen, asked his son to meet Chongzhen, because he had been ordered to prepare 200 sea ships, and now they have been gathered, if Emperor Chongzhen immediately got out of Jingshi and came to Jinmen, it would be 200 miles away, how could it be too late?

There are still thousands of soldiers in Jinmen, although they are all unbearable, but they are also soldiers.

The sea ice is melting again, and it may be that when Emperor Chongzhen came to Jinmen, the sea ice was all gone. Won't we be able to get out of the sea then?

As a result, Feng Kaizhang arrived in the capital for two days, and he was stunned to ask to see Emperor Chongzhen. When the news came back to Jinmen, Feng Yuanyang was deeply disappointed.

Because, he has no hope at all for the Guan Ning Army, who has high hopes for the communiqués in the capital.

"Wu Sangui has been favored by the emperor for a long time, and tens of thousands of Guan Ning troops have to be fully supported by the imperial court to succeed, and his old father and the Wu family are all in Beijing, Wu Sangui really dares to wait and see?"

Zheng Zhilong said as if he was very ignorant.

His current performance is very in line with his own positioning and the current situation, because now the banner of the Ming Dynasty is still floating at the head of Xuanfu City. After Xuanfu, there are more dangers such as Juyong Pass, and it is not easy for the people's army to kill the city of Yanjing.

Feng Yuanyang was less than sixty years old, and in the later world, this was the golden age of a political figure. In fact, this sentence makes the same sense today, he is in his fifties, he is experienced, sharp-eyed, and sophisticated.

He looked at Zheng Zhilong, who looked ignorant (his acting skills were upgraded), and sighed: "Zheng Shuai is brave and loyal, sincere for the country, and the old man deeply admires it." It's a pity that there are not many people like Dashuai in this world. ”

"I don't know if the marshal ever knew that on the twelfth of last month, His Majesty summoned Wu Xiang's old horseman to join the pair, what he said?"

Zheng Zhilong continued to press, "I would like to hear it in detail." But how could he not know? Wu Xiang's lion mouth had already spread all over the capital, which shocked Zheng Zhilong.

A million taels of silver, he thought it was a million coppers?

But Wu Xiangming knew that Emperor Chongzhen was poor, so he opened his mouth, "There are more than 30,000 soldiers, but there are only 3,000 ears available." These 3,000 men were not soldiers, but the sons of ministers and brothers. Since the ministers received the grace of the state, the ministers have eaten coarsely, and the three thousand people have been fine wine and fat sheep; The minister's clothes are brown, and the three thousand people are all clothed, so the minister can get his death power. ”

Chongzhen asked: "How much do you need?" ”

"Million!"

Chongzhen was taken aback. Busy asking: "Even if you talk about 30,000 (people), why do you use more salary?" ”

"A million is a lot. There are 3,000 people outside, all of whom have hundreds of acres of farmland. The salary is less than 14 months, how can I make up for it? There are still 6 million living beings outside the customs, and they are not counted, so what is the way to enter the customs with the same one? By reasoning, a million taels may not be enough, how dare the minister say anything! ”

……

"The country is in a difficult situation, and everyone knows that the court taxes are not enough. How much gold and silver are in the treasury? Wu Xiangpifu did this at this critical juncture. The old man hated to kill him to relieve the hatred in his heart. ”

Feng Yuanyang: This can be regarded as a shallow statement. He and Zheng Zhilong had just met, and they spoke like this, which showed that he hated the Wu family father and son to the extreme.

And Zheng Zhilong is far away in Fujian, and he was able to rush to Jinmen at this time, compared with Wu Sangui, Liu Zeqing and others, it is clear which is loyal and which is treacherous. Feng Yuanyang now has an excellent impression of Zheng Zhilong.

And more importantly, the appearance of Zheng Zhi Longjun also gave him great confidence.

Although the Zheng army in front of him is only 10,000 people, you must know that it is now the sixth day of the first month of March, the ice on the sea has melted, and the sailors of the Zheng army can kill Jinmen in the blink of an eye, and it is a large number of reinforcements.

Thinking about the combat effectiveness of Zheng Jun again, thinking that Zheng Zhilong can repeatedly defeat the prestige of the Tartars, and they will defend Yanjing City, can Li Zichengyan easily succeed? No matter how bad it is, Zheng Zhilong can escape with the emperor, right? Feng Yuanyang felt that the heart he had been carrying suddenly put down.

didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen at this time had reached the point of helplessness.

Because the Xuanfu has already fallen.

As soon as the edict he gave to Zheng Zhilong, Wu Sangui, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, Zuo Liangyu, Liu Zeqing and others had just come out of Yanjing City, bad news came from Xuanfu.

Li Zicheng personally raised the army from the west to kill, and the governor Zhu Zhifeng Jiwen and military generals were in the city tower, set up a high emperor's throne, and swore to defend the city with blood, and also offered a reward to encourage the upper and lower soldiers. However, the people's hearts have been dispersed, and Du Xunhe, the lieutenant officer of the prison army, and Wang Chengyun, the chief soldier, have already sent a letter of surrender to Li Zicheng.

Zhu Zhifeng scolded angrily, pointed at the prison army and said, "Du Xun, you have always been trusted by the emperor, and today you were sent to the army, but you went to Xuanfu with your front foot, and you secretly communicated with Li Thief with your back foot, what face do you have to see Your Majesty again!" ”

If it is possible, Zhu Zhifeng will ask someone to cut off the heads of Du Xun and Wang Chengyun, but who will listen to his orders in the huge Xuanfu?

Li Zicheng's army arrived, Zhu Zhifeng climbed the city wall, ordered the cannon, and the left and right soldiers were silent, and no one stepped forward. So Zhifeng personally lit the fire and set off the cannon, and was pulled left and right. The cannon's wire holes have been nailed with iron nails. What about Zhu Zhifeng? only sighed: "I don't want people's hearts to come to this." Seeing that the general trend had gone, after writing a suicide note, he hanged himself.

This news is not an exaggeration for the civil and military ministers in Yanjing City, and for Emperor Chongzhen, it can be said that it is five thunders.

Xuanfu is only 300 miles away from Jingshi, and it will be reached in the near future. The urgent document came, and the court panicked. Emperor Chongzhen summoned the ministers of civil and military affairs, the department, and the provincial officials to ask "the strategy of war defense". The ministers were silent. Chongzhen sighed and said indignantly: "I am not the king of the dead country, all the ministers are the ears of the dead country!" After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left his seat hatefully.

In despair, he made another edict against himself.

"Every year I fight, I send more and more people, I want to calm the people, but I am tired, and my sin is also! Corrupt officials and corrupt officials take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of it, increase the consumption of whips, and make it hard every day. I can't perceive it, and so do my sins! The cowardly soldiers, Mo Ken used his life, burned and plundered, regarded you as an enemy, I appointed non-people, and I was guilty! As a result, Kou is powerful and coercs the more and more people, such as Yuchu, Qin and Jin, the local people are victimized, and the people swallow their grievances and have no complaints! Thinking of my emperor's ancestors for nearly three hundred years, he has been tragically poisoned, so extreme, I am really in pain, like burning! ”

Emperor Chongzhen was not desperate for the situation, but for the civil and military troops under him.
