Chapter 298: Li Zicheng uses troops in two ways, and the second watch
Although Li Zicheng did not officially ascend the throne as emperor in Yanjing, he is now the leader of the emperor who reigns over the world.
The Dashun regime had been established three months earlier in Xijing, later known as Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. Now that Li Zicheng has taken the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty and went north to Beijing, Li Zicheng's style is even more sufficient, and he is ready to reign over the world.
Staying in the palace, sleeping on the dragon bed, the eunuch is a eunuch, the palace maid is a palace maid, and now she is also a civil and military official. In addition to the queen, if others want to see the emperor, they must first go through him, even Song Xiance, the division of the Second Army of the Protector of the Country, and Li Yan, the division of the Third Army of the Protector of the Country.
Li Yan came back from negotiating with Lin Yi, and waited for three days to see Li Zicheng, but after seeing Li Zicheng, he didn't know that before he could say a few words, Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing hurriedly left.
These few sentences are still the negotiation between him and Lin Yi, saying that Lin Yi has a tough attitude and does not surrender at all, but wants to persuade Li Zicheng to give up Yanjing, and his attitude is extremely arrogant. Although Chongzhen is dead, the prince is still alive, the Ming Dynasty is not extinguished, and Lin Yi is his fierce opponent in front of him, so he should not be taken lightly. In addition, there is a Wu Sangui in the north, and the south of the Yangtze River is all the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty, and Dashun wants to unify the whole country, and there is still a long way to go.
But Li Zicheng hummed at Li Yan's words, Lin Yi would not surrender easily Li Zicheng had already thought of it, so he was not surprised. Next, Li Yan has a belly of words to say, how to govern for the people, gather the hearts of the people, and eliminate the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, now the army is laxly disciplined, like bandits, how can it be tossed like this, and he also killed several of Liu Zongmin's subordinate generals.
But Li Zicheng couldn't wait for him to speak, so he and Niu Jinxing hurriedly left, Li Yan was so anxious that he couldn't stop him, and later he learned that it was the newly favored beauty Concubine Dou who was calling Li Zicheng.
Of course, Li Yan knew that Dou Meiyi was incredibly beautiful, and she was one of the best palace maids in Chongzhen Palace. Li Zicheng was fascinated as soon as he saw it, and Li Yan was not surprised by this phenomenon.
In Li Yan's heart, although Li Zicheng is a hero or a Ming monarch, but which dynasty and which generation of people are the landlords, not the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards, he can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman, he Li Zicheng is also a human being, and he has to allow him to have seven emotions and six desires.
It's just that the situation in front of him is so grim, because of a beautiful woman in the harem, Li Zicheng ignored his important advice, Li Yan couldn't accept it, but he only shook his head and sighed, and met Song Xiance head-on.
Song Xiance's little black face smiled: "The whole city is celebrating the victory, why is the son so depressed?"
"Sir, can't you see that you can't go on like this...... My Dashun has just been established before the country is stable, and the strength of the remnants is still strong, and the Tatars outside the gate are eyeing ......"
Li Yan still wanted to go on, but Song Xiance interrupted him with a smile, "It's an eventful autumn, the destiny of heaven cannot be violated, let's go, let's have two drinks and talk while drinking." ”
Song Xiance pulled Li Yan away.
Just halfway through, I happened to meet Liu Zongmin.
"Two military advisors, where is this going?" Liu Zongmin clenched his fists on the horse.
Li Yan didn't speak, looking at him, Song Xiance said: "Let's eat and drink, if the Great Commander has to go with a spare piece."
"This commander still has important things to do, you go, Li Gongzi, I'm really sorry, those few things that don't have long eyes, they actually swept your Yaxing that night, although they don't know that it is the woman you fancie, but I have already slaughtered them all, I hope Gongzi doesn't mind, hehe."
After saying that, he whipped his horse whip and drove away with people.
Li Yan still wanted to talk about that incident, but when he saw Liu Zongming like this, he shook his head and left with Song Xiance.
Now some people are not in a hurry to see their emperor Li Zicheng, including Liu Zongmin, who is in power, who is busy roasting officials and helping them during the day, whipping these old officials, and listening to their screams is comfortable, and the gold and silver, which are constantly growing, are piled up like a mountain.
With his little wife Chen Yuanyuan by his side at night, Liu Zongmin has become the son of heaven on the 2nd. As long as Li Zicheng doesn't pass on the decree to see him, he is unwilling to see Li Zicheng, and they each play their own games.
But now that Li Zicheng has encountered a problem, Lin Yi is just one of them, this is what he thought of. There is another one he didn't expect, that is, Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan.
Not long ago, Wu Sangui was full of promises and surrendered to Dashun, Li Zicheng was very happy, and when he was about to send troops to take over Shanhaiguan and accept Wu Sangui's surrender, there was an accident.
That is, Liu Zongmin robbed Wu Sangui's little wife, and tied up Wu Xiang's family and tortured him, and this matter spread to Wu Sangui's ears and eyes in Shanhaiguan.
Wu Sangui was furious, and the surrender of the Dashun army that he had promised now repented and vowed to fight the Dashun army to the end.
The little one Wu Sangui, Li Zicheng didn't put it in his eyes. His 50,000 horses, as soon as the Dashun army arrived, they could be devoured alive.
However, the danger of Shanhaiguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also a place where the tiger is in the dragon pan, guarding the choke point of entering and exiting the customs, and retreating can be defended and attacked, Li Zicheng has to consider it.
Wu Sangui does not surrender now, and he will definitely not be able to fight against Dashun with his strength, but his 50,000 horses may have two destinations, one is to unite with the remnants of the Ming Dynasty in the Guannei, and that is to unite with Lin Yibing. The second trend is to join forces with the Tartars who defected to the outside of the Guan, and with the Qing Dynasty.
In either case, it would pose a serious threat to his Dashun regime.
These two things made him fidget in the palace, and even his most favored beauties, including the most favored Dou Meiyi, he was not in the mood.
I had to gather the civil and military forces to discuss the country's situation.
On the Jinluan Palace, Li Zicheng sat on the dragon chair where Emperor Chongzhen had sit. The palace maid with the barrier fan behind her is still the palace maid next to Emperor Chongzhen, and the eunuch standing next to her is still the eunuch in front of Chongzhen.
Under the golden pouting under the dragon chair, Wen Dongwu Xi stood on both sides.
Of course, the civil officials are headed by Niu Jinxing, followed by Song Xiance, Li Yan and so on. The generals are headed by Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu, but there is a special military general at the front, that is Gao Guiying, she is dressed all over her body, and she can't tell that she is a queen, but a heroic general.
Someone behind him brought him a Taishi chair, but she didn't do it.
This pomp and circumstance is the same as the emperor ascending to the Jinluan Palace, Li Zicheng almost did not hold the enthronement ceremony in Yanjing. He definitely wants to do this ceremony, although he has done it once in Xi'an, he doesn't think it's enjoyable, and he does it in the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, is it the same as doing it in Xi'an?
In this chapter, Niu Jinxing has already played, even if Niu Jinxing doesn't play, Li Zicheng knows it. One is the local emperor, and the other is the emperor who reigns over the world, which is definitely different!
In the past few days, he has asked Niu Jinxing to discuss this matter.
After the civil and military officials visited the king, and after the mountain shouted long live, Li Zicheng asked all the Aiqing to be exempted from courtesy, and after the civil and military officials Xie Long live, they were re-listed on both sides. That scene was even more pompous than when Emperor Chongzhen was in power.
Li Zicheng told them that there are two main issues for today's ascension, one is how to solve the siege of Gaobeidian and save the country's uncle; The other is how to get Wu Sangui from Shanhaiguan.
Among the generals, except for Liu Zongmin, Gao Guiying, Li Guo and a few other speakers, some of them advocated the simultaneous use of troops on both sides, and some advocated first relieving the siege of Gaobeidian and rescuing Gao Yigong.
The other generals didn't speak, they felt that it was good to let them participate in this kind of occasion, there was no part for them to intervene, as military generals, let them fight how they wanted, strategize, and win a thousand miles is the matter of the emperor and the civil superiors, let them fight as they want.
The meaning of the military general is for reference only, and Li Zicheng mainly wants to hear the meaning of the three think tanks. Song Xiance shook his little black head, looked at this, looked at that, but didn't speak.
Li Yan had a stomach full of words, but when he saw that Song Xiance was like this, Niu Jinxing had not yet spoken, flattened his mouth, and swallowed it back.
At this time, Niu Jinxing shook his head and shook his head after leaving the class, and saluted Li Zicheng: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has been destroyed, the Great Shun is prosperous, the people's hearts are wanted, and the people are looking forward to it." Since Lin Yi and Wu Sangui are so ignorant of current affairs, then send the Celestial Dynasty to destroy them, Your Majesty will drive a million elite soldiers, thousands of generals, and the heavenly soldiers will come, let these remnants turn into powder, and Your Majesty can just pass on the decree. ”
Li Zicheng nodded uncontrollably when he heard this, "So in the opinion of the military advisor, how should we use the soldiers?" ”
"Your Majesty, Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan only has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and Your Majesty can send Liu Zongmin, the commander of the power, to lead a group of men and horses to conquer Shanhaiguan and punish him. Gaobeidian, the military advisor Li Yan is worthy of a heavy responsibility, and among the commanders of the formed battalions, just send one. ”
There are now several leaders of the formed battalion, Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu, and so on.
"Quasi-playing, just as a military advisor." Li Zicheng made a decision on the spot, because he asked him to send troops, and it is estimated that this is also the case.
"Wait." Liu Zongmin didn't like to listen to it for a long time, Niu Jinxing didn't like to fart when he spoke, in his opinion, it was better to fart, send this to fight and that to fight, why didn't you go yourself? Oh, let others go out to fight, you and Your Majesty are enjoying happiness in Shangjing, what the fuck are you?
Therefore, Liu Zongmin didn't look at Niu Jinxing, but just hugged his fist at Li Zicheng above, which was rude.
"Your Majesty, I, Liu Zongmin, am not convinced."
When the civil and military forces present heard this, only Liu Zongmin dared to speak like this.
Li Zicheng sounded a little unpleasant, but he didn't dare to be angry, and put on a smiling face, "Jiexuan, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
"Then I'll tell you." What is the Golden Palace, the emperor is not the emperor, Liu Zongmin doesn't care about this, "Let me go to Shanhaiguan to clean up Wu Sangui, there is nothing to say about this, Li Gongzi went to relieve the siege of Gaobeidian, and I Liu Zongmin has no opinion, may I ask Your Majesty and Mr. Niu what you have to do?" ”
Niu Jinxing glared when he heard the triangular eyes, is this like words? As a military general, of course you should lead troops to fight, and you provoked this matter, who let you rob Wu Sangui's little wife, otherwise Wu Sangui would be able to go back on his word? Who will if you don't go to this thing?
Your Majesty, the king of a country, Niu is a military advisor who protects the country, and he is also a scholar of Tianyou Pavilion, he has just occupied Yanjing, and there are many things to be done in Beijing, do you want to do this? Don't think that you are some kind of powerful commander, Marquis of you, if your majesty is unhappy, you will go back to striking iron!
But as soon as he saw Liu Zongmin's appearance, Niu Jinxing shut up directly and looked at Li Zicheng.
"Oh, hehe, Jiexuan," Li Zicheng laughed dryly, a little unnatural, knowing that this was a prick.
In the past, he and Hao Shaoqi were thorns, if no one dared to say anything, the two of them dared, no one dared to do, both of them dared, Li Zicheng generally let them, now Hao Shaoqi is gone, he is the only one left, but if it continues like this, it is not good, I Li Zicheng will be the emperor in the future, no matter how great your credit Liu Zongmin is, I am a courtier, you have to be careful when you speak and do things in the future, the three outlines and five constants, etiquette can not be abandoned, and you must warn him when you turn back.
But in front of so many people, Li Zicheng didn't say anything, and it was enough to give him face.
"We just got Yanjing, and we still have a lot of things to do, of course I and the two military advisors have to be busy with the affairs of the king's world, Jie Xuan sees what's wrong with this?"
"Please forgive me for being blunt, everyone is a thief, why are you enjoying happiness here, let me go out to fight, I, Liu Zongmin, just don't accept it! Expedition to Shanhaiguan, if Your Majesty personally marches, I, Liu Zongmin, will be the vanguard, otherwise I will not go anywhere! ”
On the Jinluan Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials, including palace maids and eunuchs, as well as the gate of the Standing Hall Commander, and the guards outside and the guards inside the palace, can all hear clearly.
The needles in the hall could be smelled, and no one dared to say a word.
About ten seconds later, Li Zicheng suddenly laughed: "Okay, then I will drive the expedition in person, you will be a pioneer for me, 3 days later, the two armies will set off at the same time and disperse the dynasty!"
Niu Jinxing wanted to say something more, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Li Zicheng originally planned to be stationed in Yanjing, and it was one thing to enjoy the happiness of being the emperor in Yanjing, mainly because he was really afraid that Lin Yi would call, but now Liu Zongmin didn't listen to the greetings, and it was not easy to make a fuss, so I was afraid that Liu Zongmin would have to deal with Wu Sangui, so after thinking about it, I had to rely on him.
3 days later, Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin led a large army, 100,000 soldiers sent to Shanhaiguan, and Niu Jinxing as a military division of course also went out, and they also pulled 200 heavy artillery.
The other group is also 100,000 people, 100 red-coated cannons, and the main commander of the army is Li Guo, the commander of the formed battalion, and the military division is Li Yan.
When Li Zicheng was leaving, he temporarily handed over the matter of going north to Beijing to his wife Gao Guiying, and there were still more than 100,000 troops in Beijing, so that Song Xiance, the division of the Second Army of the Protector of the Country, would fully assist.
In Li Zicheng's opinion, although Lin Yi is difficult to deal with, but Yanjing is close to Gaobeidian, not counting the 50,000 horses of Gaobeidian, they still have more than 200,000 horses, with his wife Gao Guiying, and the assistance of two major military divisions, Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Liu Fangliang, and Yuan Zongdi, the generals who can fight are all under their command, and the 100,000 horses to deal with Lin Yi should be about the same.
Wu Sangui's side is also the highlight, it is better to pull him over, let him deal with Lin Yi, I heard that the two of them have not been on good terms for a long time, as long as he is still willing to surrender to Dashun, any conditions can be discussed, and all his father Wu Xiang's family will be released, and the official will be reinstated, as for Chen Yuanyuan, what is a woman? There are many beauties in the Ming Dynasty, and he Wu Sangui can give him as much as he wants, and as for the high-ranking officials, Houlu is not a problem.
If this Wu Sangui really didn't know the current affairs, he would be slaughtered this time, and he would be stationed in Shanhaiguan with heavy troops, and he would never let the first pass in the world fall into the hands of the Tartars, which was also the reason why Li Zicheng personally went out.
Li Zicheng saw Wu Sangui this time and wanted to have a good talk with him. For such an important matter, if Li Zicheng does not go out in person, Liu Zongmin will not be able to do it at all.
After the 200,000 troops sacrificed the flag, the cannon sounded three times, and they went out of the Beizhi Gate and the Nanzhi Gate, and drove to the battlefield......
Outside Gaobeidian, Lin Yi's military camp.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, there is the crown prince Zhu Cihong and the accompanying Li Shichun.
Lin Yi is talking to the prince......
