The fall of Beijing City made countless people stunned, and Li Banghua, who was far away in Huguang, urgently ordered all the armies to go north to Qinwang, but Zuo Liangyu and others did not move and waited and saw the situation.

Qin Liangyu from Sichuan received the letter, but the distant water could not save the near fire.

At this time, Zhou Zheng's army continued to assemble in the area of Shanhaiguan, and the intelligence network was fully rolled out, keeping an eye on the capital.

Zhou Zheng, Jin Guoqi, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui and others gathered in Shanhaiguan to discuss the battle situation and formulate countermeasures with solemn faces.

On the 19th, the internal supervisor sent by Chongzhen came to Shanhaiguan crying, grabbed Zhou Zheng and cried: "Lord Zhou, hurry up and save the long live master, the thief has entered Beijing......"

Zhou Zheng hurriedly helped him up, asked a few questions, and then took the order.

Although everyone present had expected the situation, they were still shocked.

The internal supervisor urged Zhou Zheng to send troops as soon as possible, and Zhou Zheng appeased him and sent him to rest.

A group of people gathered in the hall, all with solemn expressions.

Man Gui looked at Zhou Zheng, who was sitting in the first place, roared angrily, and said, "Hateful! If the imperial court had transferred you to the northwest earlier, why would there be such a catastrophe! ”

Zhao Shujiao strained his face and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Zhengyun, no, Zhengxibo, the emperor is in trouble, all the people are living in the water, we have to send troops as soon as possible!" ”

Cao Wenzhao has been idle for several years, his thick eyebrows and big eyes are full of anger, he stood up and raised his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Conquer Xibo, the last general is willing to be a pioneer!" ”

Cao Bianjiao stepped out even more, raised his hand and said: "The last general is a cavalry, and he can be a vanguard!" ”

Zhou Zheng sat in a chair, his expression unmoving.

He is now Zheng Xibo, the crown prince Taibao, a cabinet scholar, holding Chongzhen's deathbed decree, at this time, his status is undoubtedly the highest!

Military power, prestige, name, he has it!

Sun Chuanting was also present, glanced at the indignant generals, and suddenly got up and said: "My lord, although it is the critical moment for Kuang Fu Sheji, saving the people, and determining the world, but the incident happened suddenly, our army is not in place, the money and food have not been transported, and the situation in the capital is unknown. Xia Guan suggested that all armies could be deployed in the direction of the capital, and they should be ready to send troops at any time, and it was not advisable to act rashly! ”

Everyone in the hall listened and immediately frowned, what Sun Chuanting said was actually 'wait', it stands to reason that at this time, he should take advantage of Li Zicheng's instability and immediately send troops to attack.

But what Sun Chuanting said is the truth, the incident has happened until now, but two days, the army has just been deployed, and it is not in place at all, and Li Zicheng's situation is not clear, all the veterans present are veterans of long-term battles, and they know the consequences of hastily dispatching troops.

It's a dilemma!

Therefore, everyone's eyes are on Zhou Zheng, and when it comes to fighting and military exploits, no one here can compare to Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng had already come back to his senses, stood up, his face was expressionless, and said in a deep voice: "First, immediately release the text, and this official calls on the king of the world!" Second, this official has a holy purpose in hand, and from now on, control all the Ming troops, send an order to Li Banghua, control all the soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River, and immediately go north! Third, Liaodong, Tianjin, and Shandong soldiers and horses are mobilized at full speed, and the official must personally recruit and suppress the thieves! Fourth, all officials in the three places are not allowed to hinder anyone in order to expropriate and suppress bandits, and those who violate them will be beheaded! Fifth, the construction of the western camp, the military orders are all issued from this, all the generals present will immediately lead the troops, Chen soldiers in Yongping Mansion, waiting for the official's order! ”

"Command!"

Everyone present raised their hands in unison and bowed to Zhou Zheng.

From this moment on, Liaodong, Tianjin, and Shandong were preparing for war in an all-round way, and the large battalion of Zhengxi was in charge of all affairs such as military intelligence, grain and grass, logistics, and civil affairs.

On the 20th, the fall of the capital spread almost all over the world, although many circumstances are unknown, but in the eyes of everyone, the Ming Dynasty seems to have died!

Tianjin Wei, Zhou Fu.

Zhou Qingli put her hands behind her back and looked in the direction of the capital, leaning over her body, with indescribable emotions on her face.

Since Jiajing, the party struggle has become more and more intense, and after arriving in Wanli, it began to get out of control, how many people in the imperial court were disappointed and refused to go out, and how many people died full of resentment and depression.

But no one would have thought that the Ming Dynasty would die in the country.

Zhou Ding and Shangguan Qing were both a little worried about Zhou Qingli, standing in the other part of the courtyard, quietly watching.

Zhou Ding said in a low voice: "Shangguan, have you noticed it, my father's waist seems to have bent a lot, and his temples also have a lot of gray hair. ”

Shangguan Qing snorted, and his eyebrows were also worried.

She was worried that Zhou Qingli would not be able to bear the accident, and she was also worried about Zhou Zheng in Shanhaiguan.

……

Li Zicheng was in the capital, frantically searched and arrested, tortured the honorable ministers and ministers, and officials at all levels 'helped', and then set up troops to kill, injure and loot, and did all kinds of evil.

At the same time, he was also mobilizing troops from other places to gather in Gyeonggi and prepare for a crusade against Zhou Zheng.

At the same time, Zhou Zheng's people were also trying their best to operate the intelligence network in the capital, obtain all kinds of information, and then spread it to the camp of Zhengxi.

The intelligence network is also secretly saving some people, including Zhou Zheng's eldest brother Zhou Fang, who was originally the Shuntian Mansion. There are also Zhou Yanru, Ma Shiying, Kou Huaiyi and others, who are also trying to contact the palace.

As the intelligence network in the capital and other places continued to recover, operate, and transmit more and more information, Zhou Zheng continued to adjust Li Zicheng's deployment.

Zhou Zheng was in the three places of Liaodong, and the standing army was 120,000, but because he had to guard against Jianjiao, he could call up 60,000, and the others had to be temporarily recruited.

Fortunately, his reserve has been carried out for many years, and he has practiced such a scene many times, from the prefecture and county to the towns, and the trained young and strong continue to gather.

On the 25th, Li Zicheng issued a document, accusing Zhou Zheng of violating the will of heaven, and heaven punished him, and asked Zhou Zheng to bear the guilt, otherwise the army would be requisitioned.

Zhou Zheng didn't pay attention to it at all, and in the camp of Zhengxi, he studied countermeasures day and night, and discussed the strategy of suppressing bandits with the generals.

Just when Zhou Zheng was busy, Yao Tongshun glanced at Cao Wenzhao and the others, handed Zhou Zheng a cup of tea, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Fan Wenchen asks to see you." ”

This sentence was also undoubted, and everyone was discussing it one after another, and they didn't care, but suddenly it was quiet, and everyone looked up at Yao Tongshun, and then at Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng's eyebrows moved, and he said indifferently: "I don't see." ”

He has arrangements in Liaodong and Dongjiang Town, and he can't beat them. This is not the Shanhaiguan in history, and he is not Wu Sangui.

Yao Tongshun felt the silence of the council hall, paused, and said: "He said that the 50,000 troops of Jianyu had already set off three days ago, and they would travel day and night, and they would be able to reach Xifengkou in ten days at most. ”

This time, the generals, who were still lying on their stomachs and studying the map, slowly stood up with a cold expression.

If Jianyu arrives at Xifengkou within ten days, there will be too many things to do.

You can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, sit on the profit of the fisherman, or you can join Li Zicheng and attack Zhou Zheng's army.

No matter which one it is, it is extremely unfavorable to Zhou Zheng!

Only then did Zhou Zheng realize that he had not thought it through, and forgot that Jianyu could still bypass Shanhaiguan!

He smiled quietly and looked at everyone: "There is no need to be nervous, the strength of Jianyu is only about 50,000, if Huang Taiji dares to come out, this official will now order Dongjiang Town and Jin Guoqi to lead the army north and take Shenyang." ”

The people who didn't have time to react suddenly woke up.

Man Gui wiped his beard and scolded: "Ma, I was almost scared by Jianyu's gang of pups!" ”
