The court of Dashun was mainly based on the palace buildings of the King of Qin at that time, and it was carried out after a little repair.

Today, in the palace, Dashun has more than three civil and military officials near Chang'an.

Li Zicheng on the throne was still dressed in the sleeves of the cloth shirt, and he was quite relieved to look at the patch on the chest of the well-dressed civil and military officials in the hall. More than ten years of corpses rolled over in the sea of blood, several times faced with life and death Jedi, at that time, where would dare to imagine that there would be today!

"Your Majesty, the people have arrived." As the best candidate for the second person in the Dashun Imperial Court, after Liu Zongmin and Li Yan's eyes met, they went out to report to the class.

"Good. I have gathered you here today, but I have one thing to tell you. After speaking, Li Zicheng waved his hand and ordered someone to take out a letter, "Lin Quan, this is a letter sent by Genzi, the king of Chengshan Bo, who is stationed in Yulin." You're a university questioner, and you're here to read it to everyone. ”

After receiving the letter, Li Yan didn't read the contents, but only looked at the cover but frowned. This is a letter sent by Dolgon's people through the Mongol prince near Yulin.

"The emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty sent a letter to the marshals of the Ming Land in the west: I am far away from the mountains and rivers of the Gong, but I can't know the title when I hear the name of the victory, so I can't tell the title in the book, and I don't mind it. I hereby send a letter to the people, I want to work together with the princes, and take the Central Plains, if you mix a district, the wealth and nobility are together, I don't know how to respect it. But the speed of the book, so that the heart to tell, is sincere to the wish. On the twenty-sixth day of the first month of the first year of Shunzhi. ”

This was written by Fan Wencheng in accordance with the meaning of Dolgon, and wrote to the Dashun army, asking for a joint attack on Ming. However, it is necessary to do **** and set up archways. If you want to talk about a war, why do you just vaguely say "to the marshals of the west according to the Ming land"? The name is a bit infuriating. You are just a group of rebellious Tartars, and our Lao Tzu is now also the emperor of Dashun!

"Everyone listened to the letter of the Tartars. What do you guys think? Li Zicheng forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest and asked the civil and military officers in front of him.

The Dashun court at this time. The military officials are naturally headed by Liu Zongmin, and the civilian officials are headed by Li Yan. Li Yan was already a person with the status of first assistant at this time, but this position made Niu Jinxing's eyes angry.

"Xiaohuzi, you are the only one among us who has dealt with the Liaodong Tartars, you might as well talk about it, how to deal with these Tartars?" Liu Zongmin's rough voice sounded in everyone's ears. Relieved the siege for everyone.

Everyone turned their attention to Huo Shan Boluohu. Luo Hu, the newly released Huo Shanbo and Zhenshan battalion commander Luo Hu, now has tens of thousands of cavalry in his hands, and most of them are elite soldiers equipped with firearms. After several tough battles, it was recognized by Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, Hao Shaoqi, Yuan Zongdi and other veterans of the camp, and he was already the leader of the second generation in the Dashun army.

He also fought a few tough battles with the Liao thief chief Abatai in Shandong, and he knew the Liao thieves well.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that although the Liao thief is fierce. It's just a group of Liaodong horse thieves. It is meant to plunder. Luo Hu also took the lead, and Qi Yu stood up proudly to tell everyone about his understanding and views on the anti-thieves in Liaodong.

"In the Battle of Songshan a few years ago, although the Liao thieves won by luck, they also suffered heavy casualties. Huang Taiji, the leader of the Liao thieves, was wounded and died in the northern expedition to Liaodong barbarians soon after, and Dolgon competed with Huang Taiji's eldest son Haoge for the throne, although Haoge was killed, Dolgon never sat in that position. "Liu Tichun, who is in charge of the dark piles and spies everywhere in Dashun. also stood up to annotate Luo Hu's words.

"I think it's because the thieves are short of grain, grass, silver, money, and cloth, and Dolgon is for his own power. It is necessary to enter the customs and plunder in a big way. In order not to go to war head-on with our Dashun army, there are such words. Song Xiance, who was in the civil service, also analyzed the meaning of Dorgon's letter from the perspective of people's hearts and powers.

"Then, what do you think you should do?" Li Zicheng already had a judgment on Dorgon's move in his mind, but he was not in a hurry to show it, he wanted to listen to the opinions of his ministers.

"Your Majesty! I thought too. This is Dolgon's Tartar who plans to enter the customs to grab things, and he is afraid of resisting our Dashun head-on, so he made such a hypocritical thing out, saying that the world is divided equally. Your Majesty will rule the world sooner or later, and what will you do with these slaves and thieves? Followed by Liu Zongmin. Hao Shaoqi also stood up from the ranks of generals to express his opinions.

"Wave the flag, tell me, why do you say that?"

"Your Majesty, the reason is very simple, they all lead troops to fight. They all have to attack where the troops are weak. Now Wu Sangui is said to be in Liaodong to complete the army, and his subordinates are no less than 100,000 horses. There is also Liang Guogong who allocated food and equipment to him, and his army should be the most powerful force in the Ming army at the moment. If I were Dolgon, I would not fight him head-on, but would break the border wall from Xuanda and enter Shanxi, Xuanfu, and Datong. Since Lu Xiangsheng and Lord Lu came here to reclaim land, although there have been several ups and downs, compared with the Gyeonggi area, there is still a lot of money and grain. Especially Shanxi! There have been no major natural or man-made disasters for almost seven or eight years. If he doesn't rob it, our old Hao will also be itching! ”

Hao Shaoqi's rude words immediately caused the people in the palace to laugh, and the people agreed with his idea with laughter. Shanxi, which is across the river, has really not had any major military disasters and natural disasters in recent years, except for the grain and grass that has supported the Shaanxi army. Relatively speaking, it is a fatty and fragrant meat.

Hit Shanxi, this suggestion suddenly made Li Zicheng's heart move. By capturing Shanxi, you can obtain grain, grass, money, and population, gain a space for development to the east, and expand your room for maneuver. At the same time, whether it is to the east to procure grain, grass, equipment, cloth, or to go out of Taihang, through the Datong army to attack Beijing and seize the world, it is an indispensable place.

"Lin Quan. You are both civil and military, and you are familiar with the scriptures and history, so it is up to you to say, are we going to fight Shanxi? ”

"Your Majesty," Li Yan, who was already vaguely the identity of the first assistant at this time, stood in front of everyone in full clothes.

"In the past, Qin Xiaogong was based on the solidity of Cuihan, embraced the land of Yongzhou, and stuck to the Zhou room. As for the first emperor, the remnants of Fen VI, so there is a move to sweep the world, revitalize the long strategy and the imperial universe. Shanxi table rivers and mountains. The shape is strong and dangerous, the merchants gather, the land is rich, and the entry can hit Gyeonggi and Guanzhong, and the retreat can hold the pass, and the building is high. This Tang Dynasty, Jin Wu Zhiji also. Since my Dashun is in Dingding Guanzhong, His Majesty wants to emulate the foundation of Li Yuan's father and son to open the eternal world, then Xuanda must be controlled, and the three Jin Dynasty must be based. Today's trend, when thinking about the land of Shanxi. ”

Niu Jinxing heard Li Yan's words, and his heart suddenly burst into joy. Looking at this same year, I also feel much more pleasing to the eye than a few days ago when I took away the position of the first assistant that I regarded as a forbidden body. As long as the Dashun army decides to cross the river and march eastward, he will add fuel to the fire, hit Shanxi, and fight Datong. Take Datong to take Xuanfu, and go out of Shanxi to Taihang to Jinan. All in all, it is necessary to make the territory controlled by Dashun bigger and bigger, and the more territory that needs to be governed, the more natural officials will be. It was only then that his big plan began.

"Mr. Wu, why haven't I seen you speak for a long time?" Although he has already ascended the throne and claimed the emperor, to a large extent. Li Zicheng still retains the style of his time in Henan, and the etiquette regulations are not so strict. He is also willing to listen to the opinions of his subordinates when discussing matters in court.

"Mr. Wu must have calculated in his heart, how much grain and grass is needed, military salaries, how many ships need to be requisitioned, and so on." Liu Zongmin has a good relationship with Wu Xing, and he sees Wu Xing's merits and contributions. At the same time, he also understands Wu Xing's work habits. At that moment, he excused Wu Xing in a ridiculous tone.

"Youhou is right. The subordinates were calculating how much food and supplies to mobilize and how to collect ships. Wu Xing continued with Liu Zongmin's words very sincerely, but he also had his plans.

"Your Majesty, this is the time. Half of the world has been owned by Dashun. In the humble opinion of the ministers, I should take the eight words of solidifying Shaanxi, cutting Xia, seeking Jin, and peeping straight as my Dashun's strategy. ”

Gu Shaanxi, Fa Xia, Mou Jin, Peep Zhi, Li Zicheng slowly chewed the strategy of these eight words, and the more he tasted it, the more he felt some taste. "Mr. Gu, what do you see?"

Gu Junen, who was standing beside Wu Xing, nodded at Wu Xing very friendly to express his admiration, and then saluted Li Zicheng: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that Lord Wu's words are quite reasonable. I Dashun should first build a solid foundation on the 800 miles of Qinchuan, and at the same time send troops to Ningxia to seize the Hetao, and then seek Shanxi, and the soldiers peep into Gyeonggi. ”

"What if the thieves plundered Shanxi before me? Is it possible for His Majesty to use Shaanxi, which has only been recuperating with great difficulty, to relieve a dilapidated Shanxi? Niu Jinxing felt that it was time for him to come out and show his attitude! Otherwise, the matter of sending troops to Shanxi will inevitably be put aside by these two guys!

Niu Jinxing's words also hit Li Zicheng's vital point at once. During this time, he helped the victims in Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang and other places, built water conservancy, and encouraged agriculture and mulberry so that these areas could recuperate. However, it has always been easier to destroy than to build. It is more difficult to let the generals of the Dashun army, who are accustomed to holding the handle of the sword, organize production and restore order than to kill them. Finally, there is some prosperity, and if it is used to fill the bottomless pit in Shanxi, these generals will definitely not be willing.

"Little Huzi, tell me, how is the combat power of those Tartars?" Hao Shaoqi shook his black head, and the crown on his head always made him feel uncomfortable, but he couldn't help but wear it.

"Of course, the genuine Liaodong Jiannu has good combat power, and it is about the same as our old battalion soldiers. However, the number of people is not large. It is often those rebellious thieves who collapse first, and they are coerced to defeat the thieves. Therefore, every time they fought against Abatai, the soldiers had to carefully observe where the old thief who had been shaving his hair for a long time was and where the new thief who had recently shaved his hair was. The new thief is defeated and defeated, and the old thief can fight again, but he is also weak, not our opponent. When we were in Shandong, we chased Abatai like a rabbit running around, and Abatai was more miserable than chasing the sky and entering the ground without a door, which was worse than when we were in Shangluo Mountain. ”

"Huo Shanbo is presumptuous!" An imperial historian on the side caught the shortcomings of Luo Hu's momentary fast language, and accused him fiercely.

"Alas! For a moment, he was about to say the wrong thing. Luo Hu spread his hands a little annoyed.

"Luo Hu never forgets the hardships and hardships, and I also feel the same way in my heart, and when I come, I will reward Huo Shanbo with a pair of silver-collared round armor, five Hequ horses, and five iron and steel swords." Li Zicheng is also quite happy that Luo Hu never forgets the most difficult days when he traveled back and forth between Shangluo Mountain and Hubei-Henan-Shaanxi Mountains, and he will not betray him as an emperor if he does not forget the difficulties of the old days.

"Lin Quan, Mr. Niu, Mr. Gu, Mr. Wu, you are all among the top civil officials in my Dashun Dynasty. Give me some advice on what to do with Dorgon's letter? ”

Li Yan, who has always been gentle as jade, kind and kind, and has the style of a humble gentleman, is also rare at this time.

"Your Majesty, the minister heard that the name of the slave chieftain Murgen Taiji is a badger in his ethnic language, so the minister's intention is to start from here."

Li Yan's pen is very good. When even if he waved in the palace, but saw the pen walking the dragon and snake, he wrote back in an instant.

"Emperor Yongchang of Dashun issued an edict to the east according to the Ming Di Di tribute book: Yin and Yang are different, so they are divided into morning curtains, **** are different, so they are divided into Xia Yi. Now Xiqi is in Dashun, the mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor is buried in the south, the sages and saints of the past dynasties receive the sacrifice of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Son of Heaven of Dashun, although the beasts and birds are also auspicious. There is no one who dares to disobey the Holy Lord. Recently, I heard that there is a vicious beast in Liaodong, a badger, hurting people and killing people, there is a dry heaven and, you and others are good people in the Ming court, and now the Ming Dynasty is declining and prosperous, and it should be the way of heaven. There is nothing for the husband ****, only the lack of badger skin to keep out the cold, if you can take this evil badger tribute. I should be thick and thin, and I will not hesitate to reward the goods. ”

When Li Yan explained to everyone the various twists and turns and scolding in the book. After all kinds of methods to fan the flames within the Liao thieves, they couldn't help but applaud in unison.

"We people, we don't have to say anything about fighting, but the ability of this leader is not as good as Li Gongzi!"

"You don't brag less, and your ability to fight is not as good as Gongzi Li! Last time I was besieged, my sister-in-law and the red lady led people to kill you and rescued you, right? ”

Looking at the harmonious and lively scene of this faction, he was named a military advisor. But Song Xiance, who has no power and is famous, can't help but be quite jealous, and Niu Jinxing on the side is twisting his well-maintained three locks of ink hair and looking at this scene with a slight smile.

"Alright! The more you are both civil and military, the more you will win the hearts of the people, and the more outstanding your headquarters will be. The more dangerous your position will be. You are still a scholar, and you have forgotten that you are all over the world, and you are not rewarded by the master? Niu Venus imagined the arrival of that day proudly in his heart.

He had just handed over the seal of Li Yan's reply to the government for copying and handing over to Wang Genzi, and ordered someone to bring it back to Shenyang and send it to Dolgon. Outside the hall, Li Shuangxi hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in Li Zicheng's ear. Seeing this scene, everyone present immediately fell silent, not knowing what else happened.

After Li Zicheng listened to Li Shuangxi's recital, his eyebrows moved, and his face was cloudy.

"Double happiness, here are all our Dashun's civil and military ministers, you tell everyone about the affairs of Hanzhong."

The news that just came from Hanzhong was the biggest defeat for Li Zicheng since the smooth sailing in the past few years.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king of Xiying, marched into Sichuan from Wuchang and captured Chongqing Mansion, Chengdu Mansion and other places, so that Zhang Kewang attacked Shizhu, Zhongzhou and other places, specifically to deal with Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers. Zhang Dingguo was ordered to capture Xuzhou Mansion, Luzhou, Banzhou and other places, Zhang Wenxiu led Bai Wenxuan to capture Baoning Mansion, and Zhang Nengqi led **** Li to capture Long'an Mansion and Songpan. These two sons of Zhang Xianzhong actually clashed with our Dashun soldiers and horses in Hanzhong. ”

"The forward generals did not check for a while, and they fell into their ambush, losing thousands of people, more than 1,000 horses, and countless knives, guns, equipment, and armor."

This news undoubtedly made these civil and military officials of the Dashun Imperial Court feel like a blow to the head.

What the?! Zhang Xianzhong's gang actually entered Sichuan? And also occupy such rich places as Chongqing and Chengdu? That's it, his two adopted sons led the soldiers and horses to compete with us for the territory of Hanzhong, and even made us suffer a big loss?

This hasn't happened in years!

If you talk about the grievances and grievances between Xiying and Chuang Camp for many years, how to describe it with a sentence of love and killing?

More than once, the two families came to the aid of the other party when they were in danger, helping each other to help each other regroup, and more than once planning to kill each other while the other party was still in danger. Although I knew that sooner or later everyone would tear our faces and meet each other on the battlefield, I didn't expect this day to come so suddenly.

"Double happiness, where did Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Nengqi calculate us?" Hao Shaoqi was the first to stand up like thunder.

"Ningqiang Prefecture, Qipanguan!"

Hearing the name of this place, Liu Zongmin and other military attaches were speechless for a while.

Qipanguan, also known as Qipanguan, is located at the throat of the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi (the boundary line between Huangba Township, Ningqiang, Shaanxi and Guangyuan Zhuandou Township, Sichuan), and is known as the first pass of Western Qin. It is the only road hub in Sichuan connecting the northeast, north China, the Central Plains and the northwest north of the Qinling Mountains.

This place is no stranger to the generals of the Dashun Army who have been fighting in the north and south for many years, Zhang Xianzhong's two adopted sons occupy this place, and they can enter the Han army at any time!

"Your Majesty, you give me a holy decree, I will take my headquarters soldiers and horses to Hanzhong, no matter what, I must drive these two boys back to Sichuan, and let them fight with Qin Liangyu's old woman's white pole soldiers!" Hao Shaoqi asked Li Zicheng to send troops.

The white pole soldiers can be regarded as the old opponents of the Western Battalion, and they can even be said to be their nemesis at one time. In the past few years, Qin Liangyu has devoted himself to training soldiers and horses in the Shizhu and Zhongzhou areas, and has purchased local products and released ships out of Sichuan to exchange for various exquisite weapons. Da Shunjun has also heard of these things.

If Zhang Xianzhong's hand into Shaanxi is cut back to Sichuan and let him fight with Qin Liangyu, this will undoubtedly be a good thing for Dashun's strategic expansion. Everyone turned their eyes to Li Zicheng, looking forward to his idea.

"Wave the flag, you will take people to Hanzhong, guard Hanzhong Mansion, teach these two dolls a lesson, and rush back to Sichuan. Then, hold the Qipan Pass and don't let them come to Shaanxi to harass again. ”

"Jiexuan, when you cross the river to the east to conquer Shanxi, you have to get up, and when the autumn grain is harvested in Guanzhong, you will lead the people and horses to set off."

After arranging the two armies, Li Zicheng looked at Wu Xing with a smile, "Mr. Wu, what do you think of sending troops after the grain is harvested in summer and autumn?" ”

"Grain, firewood, and grass, if there is a shortage of anything, Your Majesty will punish Wu Xing!" (To be continued.) )
