When the others left, Zhou Zheng summoned Meng Hezhou and asked, "Is the city ready?" ”

Meng Hezhou stepped forward and said in a low voice, "It's ready." On the prince's side, there are internal prisoners we bought, as well as Gao Jie's people, and it should not be difficult to hide at a critical moment and escape a catastrophe. The others were in the secret rooms arranged by the military intelligence department, and there were no losses of our men. The list of officials who surrendered counted more than 300 people, including clans, nobles, ministers, scholars, squires, and so on. Li Zicheng looted from all over the country, as well as the internal money looted in the capital, the dirty silver obtained from the torture of officials, and other bribes, donations, money, grain, gold, silver and jewelry, etc., the total amount is unknown for the time being, but tens of millions should be there, and they are all stored in the palace, so we have to find a way to let him stay......"

Li himself is a bandit himself, and wherever he passes, there is no grass.

In the capital, almost three feet into the ground, ordinary people, wealthy families, dignitaries, nobles, nobles, and nobles, none of them can escape.

The capital is the best area in the world, there is no shortage of silver, and tens of millions of dollars have been looted, all of which are conservative estimates.

Zhou Zheng thought that there was a record in history that Li Zicheng took out tens of millions of silver from Chongzhen's internal pocket, and he didn't know if it was true or not.

After Meng Hezhou finished speaking, Zhou Zheng leaned back in a chair, his face was expressionless, and his eyes said indifferently: "I really can't let Li Zicheng take it away, I will order Cao Bianjiao's cavalry to intercept it, and he doesn't want to take any of them away!" ”

Meng Hezhou nodded, glanced outside, and said in a low voice: "My lord, do you want to take this opportunity to deal with some people, otherwise if the adults enter the city, they will not be able to cause chaos to the adults." ”

Zhou Zheng glanced at him and said, "I didn't take them into account before, and I won't do it now, keep them, and borrow their heads for use." ”

Meng Hezhou's heart was awe-inspiring, and he responded gently, without speaking again.

I don't know why, he always feels that Zhou is changing, although it is still the same as before, the tone is still there, but there is a faint majesty, which puts great pressure on him.

Zhou Zheng looked at the dark outside and said, "You send a letter to Cheng Jing, as well as my father-in-law, let them enter Beijing tomorrow." ”

Meng Hezhou hurriedly responded, with an army of more than 100,000 people, the war does not know how long it will last, and it needs huge money and food support, behind this is the Zhou Chamber of Commerce, and it is also Cheng Economy and Shangguan Xun.

Zhou Zheng was silently thinking in his heart, looking at the dark and shining capital with a few stars, his heart was calm with a rich breath that could not be dissipated, making it difficult for him to be calm and calm in the past.

Before dawn, the capital suddenly rang with bells, firecrackers, gongs and drums.

This move made Zhou Zheng and a group of people stunned.

When the news came from earlier, Lu Xiangsheng stood beside Zhou Zheng and muttered in shock: "Li Zicheng, are you busy ascending the throne and becoming emperor?" ”

Zhou Zheng is not strange at all, just like in history, when life and death are at a juncture, he still wants to be the emperor......

He has only been an emperor for less than a day!

Cao Bianjiao shook his head and said, "The adult is right, a bandit is a bandit, his nature is difficult to change, even if he can do something, he will not be able to achieve a great cause after all." ”

Lu Xiangsheng relieved himself and sighed lightly: "My lord, let's attack the city, such a farce, I'm afraid it's a stain on my Ming history, and I can't let him ascend the throne." ”

Zhou Zheng snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Order, the three armies will attack the city!" ”

Meng Hezhou responded, and then the drums of Zhou Zheng's camp sounded dullly, and the flag commanders waved the flags, passed the flags, and issued orders.

Zhao led the teaching, Cao Wenzhao attacked the south gate, Yang Guozhu, Man Gui attacked the north gate, and Gao Jie and others attacked the east gate.

An army of 100,000 attacked the city, with a huge momentum, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

At this moment, Li Zicheng was dressed in a dragon robe, surrounded by a group of people, and was walking from the noon gate towards the Huangji Gate, when suddenly there was a shout of killing, he stumbled and almost fell.

He hurriedly picked up the crown and said in a panic: "What's the matter, what's the matter?" ”

Niu Jinxing saw that the ceremony had just begun, and he hated it in his heart, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, don't panic, you won't be able to attack for a while, let's hurry up and complete the enthronement ceremony......

Li Zicheng listened to the sound of drums and shouting killing, his mind was uncertain, and he looked left and right, at this time, Liu Zongmin hurriedly ran over and said: "Big brother, it's not good, Zhou Zhengyun is attacking the city on three sides, with more than 100,000 troops, and the east gate will not be able to be defended!" ”

Li Zicheng was shocked, he didn't expect that Zhou Zheng was attacking the city early this morning, his expression was solemn, his eyes flashed, and he said, "What did you just say, what about Ximen?" ”

Liu Zongmin said: "Ximen, Zhou Zhengyun's people have withdrawn, they are engaged in encircling three and missing one!" ”

Li Zicheng's face changed sharply, his eyes flickered violently, and he suddenly tore off the dragon robe on his body, strode outside, and said loudly: "Gather soldiers and horses, follow me!" ”

Niu Jinxing was shocked, grabbed him in panic, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the enthronement ceremony is still an hour to complete, you can't go......"

Li Zicheng shook him off and said, "Get out!" ”

As soon as Li Zicheng left, a large number of guards followed, and went directly to Daming Gate to leave the palace.

I don't know how many officials there are along the way, watching Li Zicheng leave like this, my heart is cold!

They also heard shouts of killing outside, and the rumbling of cannons!

Zhou Zhengyun's army is besieging the city!

Li Zicheng, you have to run!

All of a sudden, it was all chaos!

Zhang Jinyan and the others had no master, and with an ouch, they ran outside the palace.

Wu Sangui and the others did not come to the capital, but went to Xuanfu and were not here.

Li Zicheng hurriedly got on the horse, and brought many concubines, internal supervisors, gold, silver and jewelry, etc., dozens of carriages, which were ready last night, were on Chang'an Street, slowly heading towards the West Gate.

"The city is broken!"

"The east gate is broken!"

On the street, someone suddenly shouted, and then the whole capital was chaotic, I don't know how many people rushed forward, crying and screaming.

Li Zicheng didn't look back, and galloped on horseback.

Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu, Li Guo and others naturally did not stay and wait for death, and rushed to the west gate with people one after another.

Li Zicheng's army had no fighting spirit, Li Zicheng ran again, the city gate was quickly breached, and Zhou Zheng's army poured in like a tide and went straight to the Forbidden City.

The capital is even more chaotic, I don't know how many people want to escape, in the face of the tide of troops, they are even more panicked, they have flocked to the west gate, and how many people have died in the stampede!

I don't know if I forgot that the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty was still imprisoned in the palace, Li Zhong and Zhu Cihong listened to the noise outside the door and shrank into a ball.

boom

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and then a team of people in Li Zicheng's military uniform rushed in.

"Ah......" Zhu Cihong shouted, hugging Li Zhong tightly.

Li Zhong's face turned pale, and he urinated incontinence directly, almost fainting.

He had already heard that Li Zicheng had failed, and this was to kill them to vent his anger!

A group of people looked at the expressions of the two, didn't say a word, and dragged them out directly.

Li Zhong hugged Zhu Cihong tightly, his heart was cold, he was extremely flustered, and he couldn't say a word.

Zhu Cihong howled and cried, buried in Li Zhong's arms, scared to the extreme.

These people dragged Zhu Cihong and Li Zhong away, and quickly ran towards the west gate, where there was a back mountain, and there were no people, at least they could hide for a while, waiting for the army to enter the palace.
