"Emperor, good news, good news!"

Niu Jinxing's voice spread far away to Li Zicheng, who was in the original Jin Palace, the main hall of the current Dashun Palace, squinting one eye at the Tang newspaper sent by Yuan Zongdi from Xiangyang.

Li Zicheng raised his eyes, and saw Niu Jinxing flying over, and then knelt down and kowtowed: "Emperor, the Ming Dynasty of Datong has promised to join forces with us!" Now we can teach the Tartars a hard lesson! ”

"What?" Li Zicheng's brows twisted slightly, "That's promised?" What conditions have been raised? ”

"Didn't mention it...... According to Luo Xiushen, Dai Fan has just received a wax pill order from the little prince of the Zhu family, and the order asks Dai Fan and our Dashun to join forces to fight against the Qing Dynasty! ”

Li Zicheng was silent for a moment, and suddenly turned his gaze to Song Xiance on the side: "Military advisor, what do you think?" ”

Song Xiance said: "Emperor, didn't the Tang newspaper of Marquis Yuan say that the prince of the Zhu family sent a marquis to the Taiping Mansion to greet Gu Junshi?" ”

Li Zicheng nodded: "It seems that the little prince of the Zhu family is not willing to fight with him again!" ”

"In addition, today I also received a Tang newspaper sent by General Ma, and the Tang newspaper said that Zhang Xianzhong had broken through Chengdu Mansion." Song Xiance said, "Zhang Xianzhong has always had the ambition to be the emperor, if he is called the emperor in Chengdu, he will most likely go east to Huguang next." ”

"Humph!" Li Zicheng snorted, and seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Zhang Xianzhong's entry into Sichuan, because he also wanted to take Sichuan, the country of abundance, for himself. At the beginning of September, he sent the general Ma Ke to lead his troops into Sichuan to grab territory, and it is estimated that he has already fought with Zhang Xianzhong. However, Li Zicheng's main focus is now on Shanxi, and he doesn't have much spare energy to spend in Sichuan. Whether Ma Ke can win or not, he is not sure.

Song Xian then analyzed: "Before, the prince of the Zhu family also used sword soldiers with the nobles and ministers of Jiangnan in Nanjing, which is a tear in the face!" ...... And Zuo Liangyu's guy also participated. Therefore, the minister thought that the prince of the Zhu family would not be able to control the overall situation in the southeast so easily, and then it was likely that there would be infighting on the side of the Ming Dynasty! ”

"That's right!" Li Zicheng touched his beard and exhaled, "He is too busy to take care of himself, and he won't be embarrassed if he thinks about it." I don't expect them to help, as long as they don't stab them in the forehead during the bloody battle between Eh and the Tartars, they will be hit! ”

"No," Song Xiance smiled, "Zhu Cijiong, a child, doesn't understand, Wang Yongji, Jiang Hao, and Gao Di, the three old foxes, don't know?" ”

Li Zicheng nodded, and when he was about to continue discussing with Song Xiance, someone came to report that Luo Hu, the general of Guoyi stationed in Guguan, had arrived in Taiyuan by edict and was now waiting outside the palace.

"Hurry up and ask Tong Guan Bo to come and see you!" The smile on Li Zicheng's face became a little thicker.

This Luo Hu is a general from the children's battalion, and Li Zicheng grew up watching, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is in love with father and son. Moreover, because the backbone of the troops led by Luo Hu are all "children" who follow Li Zicheng to fight the world, they are particularly loyal to Dashun. He is particularly brave in battle, not afraid of death, and is the most reliable force among the battalions today.

It is precisely because of this that Li Zicheng asked Luo Hu to guard the Guguan and guard the hole from the well into Shanxi.

Luo Hu was quickly brought to Li Zicheng, saluted, and after raising his head, Li Zicheng saw a face full of resentment.

Li Zicheng looked at Luo Hu and asked in the tone of an elder: "Xiaohu, what's wrong?" Someone bullied you? ”

"Emperor, it's not that the child is bullying, it's that the Tartar is bullying people too much!" Luo Hu said, "These days, there are refugees from Beizhili every day, helping the old and the young to come to Guguan...... They are all Han people who have been robbed of their houses and land by the Tartars, and they are unwilling to be slaves. ”

"What's going on?"

Luo Hu said: "The child asked, it turned out that the Tartars moved the capital from outside the customs to Beijing, and also brought a large number of officials, soldiers and family members. In order to settle them, the Tartars began to stake their land around the city of Beijing in September. All fertile and fertile fields are directly occupied by horses, and they do not plant themselves, but force the original owners or tenants to become slaves!

At the same time as enclosing land, the Tartars also occupied houses in the Beijing courtiers. It is to bomb the Han people in Beijing from their homes, and give the houses and everything to the Tartar soldiers to live in! ”

"Really?" Li Zicheng blinked in disbelief.

He Li Zicheng is such an old murderer, that is, he caught some officials and nobles of the Ming Dynasty and tortured them. I never thought of driving all the people in Beijing out to wander!

This is to clean up the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Beijing......

"You can't be wrong!" Luo Hu gritted his teeth, "Thousands of people come in every day in the Guguan guarded by the children, all of them lack food and clothing, and all of them are miserable...... The child personally asked hundreds of people, and they all said that it was called Tartar! He also said that now south of Beijing, there are desperate people everywhere, dragging their families and mouths, begging for food, and countless people have died along the way! ”

"Tartars are really beasts!" Li Zicheng's single eye emitted a strange light.

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world! Dongyu's tossing method must be unpopular!

And Li Zicheng firmly believes that he is more popular than the cunning and murderous Zhu Cihong!

The world is still the Great Shun Dynasty!

"Emperor," Song Xiance also became excited, "The Tartar is self-inflicted, and he can't live!" was lucky enough to gain power, and it harmed the common people like this...... This is our chance for Dashun to counterattack Beijing! ”

Li Zicheng nodded, "It's indeed an opportunity!" However, you can't rashly counterattack Beijing, you have to fight to the death with the Tartars in Guguan, and if you can win, you can go back to Beijing again! ”

Luo Hu said: "Emperor, the child is willing to be a pioneer!" ”

Li Zicheng smiled: "Don't worry, wait to see Luo Xiushen, negotiate the conditions, and then discuss how to clean up those tartars who have lost people's hearts!" ”

......

The city of Beijing has never been as orderly as it is now, nor has it been as cold and solemn as it is now.

Luo Yangxing, who had just returned from Datong Mansion, was stunned by the changes that had taken place in the city in less than a month.

When he left Beijing, it was a large city with a population of at least 500,000, and the inner city was particularly bustling, with bustling streets and shops. As long as you enter any of the nine gates of Beijing's inner city, you will immediately feel the lively atmosphere of the market, and your ears will be filled with the sound of vendors shouting and shouting.

But now...... When he entered the city from Desheng Gate, he saw a completely unfamiliar city, unpopular, and even more deserted than Datongfu City.

People, where have they gone?

"They were all driven away!"

Luo Yangxing didn't ask, but someone answered.

The answer to him was Guang Shiheng, who became the third minister, and today he was the only one outside the Desheng Gate to greet Luo Yanghe and Zuo Maotai.

Under Li Zicheng, he was a loyal and righteous minister, and on the side of the Qing Dynasty, he was a chaotic third minister. Like Luo Yangxing, he can't get the trust of his master, and he is hostile to other traitors - the two of them are likely to be traitors by order! If the cunning and murderous Prince Zhu fights back, they will become heroes...... Can this identity not be hated?

So Guang Shiheng is just a dashing and dashing mess, but at this moment, he looks extremely sad.

"Driven by whom?" Zuo Maotai, who came back with Luo Yangxing, asked.

"Who else?" Guang Shiheng's voice was very low, "Of course it's above...... Make room for the kings and soldiers of the East! ”

"The whole city of Beijing is ......"

"It's all empty!" Guang Shiheng said, "The Han people are the only ones left with us Han officials...... he smiled bitterly, "If someone comes to fight Beijing City again, there will definitely be no one who will sacrifice the door!" ”

Zuo Maotai was also incredulous, and his eyes widened and he looked around at the empty street. Guang Shiheng on the side said again: "Hurry up and go to the palace, and explain the errand so that I can find a house to move." ”

"Moving?" Luo Yangxing was stunned, "We also want to move?" ”

His family has been in Beijing for more than 200 years, so he has no hukou?

"Let's move!" Guang Shiheng said, "With the grace of the regent, we can still find a house to live in the outer city for the time being." The houses in the inner city are all vacated for the Eight Banners...... You have a lot of family, so you'll have to go out of town to find a bigger yard. ”
