In the following time, under the supervision of the Tang Army, the Qing Dynasty completed a thorough rectification from internal affairs to military affairs.

In the initial stage, due to the strong implementation of the Tang army, as well as the shirk and non-cooperation of officials in various places, there were riots in various places, but the Tang army immediately sent soldiers and horses to suppress the riots, and took a large number of uncooperative Qing Dynasty officials, and soon reversed the situation, and the riots in various places were quickly quelled, and the Qing Dynasty regained stability.

The riots in various places were quelled by the Tang army, and all kinds of measures and changes began to go on the right path. If you stand on the streets of Shengjing, or other boundaries, or even in Hetuala, the land of Longxing in the Qing court, at a glance, the streets and alleys and pedestrians are all like the Han system, similar to the mainland city. The locals, whether they are Manchurian or Mongolian, are all dressed as Han people, except that their hair has not yet grown and is slightly different from the Han people in the mainland, the base is basically exactly the same, and there is no difference.

What's even more ridiculous and lamentable, even Qing Dynasty officials in various places were forcibly changed to Han official attire by the Tang Army, which is exactly the same as the official attire of the Ming Dynasty.

Such a change can be described as a blow to the heart of the Qing court.

About ten days after the Tang army was ordered, Dolgon gathered 100,000 Qing troops, commanded by the British prince Azig, and bid farewell outside the south gate of Shengjing City, preparing to let him be a servant of the Tang army and cooperate with the Tang army to fight against Dashun.

On the day of seeing off the 100,000 Qing troops of Azig, Dolgon, who was standing at the south gate of Shengjing, and a group of courtiers, at a glance, saw that there were all kinds of clothes, purple and red, all of them were Ming Dynasty official uniforms, except that they could not wear hair crowns, and there was almost no difference from Han officials.

Dolgon, dressed in the costumes of the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and a group of officials dressed in purple and red, silently sent Azig, who was dressed no different from the Han general, to the horse.

"Azig, take care of yourself this time." Dorgon looked at Azig on his horse, his voice choked.

He wanted to say two more, but when he saw the cold squint of the civilian official of the Tang Army Supervision Department next to him, he had to swallow back the words full of words.

Azig looked solemn, nodded, and didn't say much, just clasped his fists, let out a long shout, and led the troops south. Behind them, a large number of Qing troops followed him closely. On both sides of the Qing army, there were soldiers and horses in the 11th town of the Tang Army who were responsible for supervising the escort, and the 100,000-strong army was in a huge formation, rolling up the sky and dust, rolling south.

After witnessing the 100,000 soldiers and horses under the guidance of the Tang army, they marched all the way south and finally disappeared, Dolgon and a group of courtiers returned gloomily, and everyone dispersed.

After returning to the Shengjing Palace, Dolgon couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

Saying goodbye like this, there is really a feeling of sending Wang Sun again, and Meng Meng is full of farewell.

Half an hour later, in the Shengjing Yanqing Palace, Dolgon, who was dressed in the python robe of the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and Bumu Butai, who had changed the costume of the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty, were relatively speechless and sat silently opposite each other.

Finally, Dolgon opened his mouth with a long sigh and said in a low voice: "Da Yu'er, Azig is going to lead the troops this time, this king has secretly instructed him, he must cherish the soldiers and horses, act carefully, and don't be stupid to really be cannon fodder for the Tang army, he has already made a promise to this king, promising that he will ......"

"Regent, don't say any more." Bu Mu Butai smiled bitterly, and said: "Azig is a reckless man, lacking wisdom and little strategy, this time, it is not easy to finally bring this army back, and An Ke has the luxury of expecting others." Bengong just sighed in his heart, although the Qing Dynasty was now free from the scourge of war and survived, but from top to bottom, it was changed by the Tang Army to become like this, and it was already a humble and helpless subordinate country in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the heart of this palace, every time I think of this, I am really sad. I am afraid that in the future, the Qing Dynasty will fall and there is a possibility that it will not be revived again. ”

Dolgon's heart was entangled and painful, but he also had to comfort her: "Da Yu'er, don't be so sentimental, things are not so bad as to be bad, you can still do something in secret." After all, this change of customs is a matter of water milling, rope sawing and wood breaking, water drops and stones wearing, and it takes a long time to see its merits, Li Xiao acted like this, although he relied on the violence of the Tang army to subdue all the people and officials, but everyone was resentful in their hearts, but they had to obey their obscenity for the time being. If the Tang army's control weakens in the future, or if there is a change in the country, the king believes that it will be difficult to get the officials and people of the Qing Dynasty to return to the old customs. ”

Bumu Butai didn't reply, but her eyes gradually reddened, and she said in a low voice: "Alas, it is rare for us to save our lives under the claws of the tiger, and it is useless to talk about anything else. This palace just feels that although the Tang army is letting me wait for a way to survive now, I am afraid that Li Xiao, the king of Tang, will not let us go in the end after solving Li Zicheng in the future, at that time, what can I do in the Qing Dynasty? ”

Bumu Butai's sad voice was like a spike that pierced Dorgon's heart.

Yes, now the whole country, from officials to the people, from the government to the soldiers and horses, are under the control of the Tang Army, and they are like puppets.

The whole Qing Dynasty, whether it is the clan officials or the common people, are all tied to Li Xiao's thoughts, how can such a crisis be described.

Dolgon sighed softly and comforted: "Da Yu'er, don't worry about nothing. I see that Li Xiao has always been faithful and righteous, and he will not easily do such a scoundrel thing. What's more, Li Zicheng's Dashun has gone through many years, with many soldiers and horses, and the territory is also very large. And how the situation will change when the time comes, it is not too late to see. ”

Speaking of this, he also sighed secretly and replied: "If Tang Jun is really so shameless and forcibly tears up the agreement, then we still have a hand to do." That is, to break the whole into pieces, escape into the mountains and forests in the north, like the story of the ancestors, and fight against the Tang army for a long time. It's just that at such a time, this Shengjing and many states and towns are afraid that it will be difficult to protect. However, such a thing, after all, is a vision, and the Queen Mother does not have to worry too much, so as not to be in vain and hurt herself. ”

Bumu Butai smiled bitterly, and without further words, the two fell silent together.

After the land of Liaodong returned to calm, the land of the Central Plains was turbulent.

After Li Xiao reached an agreement with the Qing court, he immediately transferred back from Liaodong to the second town, the fourteenth town, the two towns of soldiers and horses, as well as Shang Zhixin's troops of 20,000 soldiers, a total of more than 130,000, as well as 100,000 Qing troops of the servants, and went to Jinzhou together, preparing to enter Shanhaiguan from Jinzhou, so as to give Li Zicheng a black tiger to dig out his heart and attack the important land of the Beijing division from the north.

In order to ensure that the battle could be won with one blow, Li Xiao sent his subordinates overseas to send orders to Korea and Japan, ordering them to send 50,000 elite soldiers and horses each, and they must land in Shandong within half a month, and attack the capital from the south together with the soldiers and horses of the first and sixth towns of the Tang army here.

In order to cooperate with the Tang army's plan to attack the capital, Li Xiao ordered that the soldiers and horses of the Tang army's 7th, 13th, and 15th towns, which were fighting against the main force of the Dashun army in the south, put on a more ferocious attack posture and feinted to attack the Shun army on the opposite side, so that they could not withdraw and return from the southern battlefield.

As for the soldiers and horses in the fourth and twelfth towns on the Xuanfu North Road, they attacked the Shanxi area with all their might, and tried their best to prevent the Shun army from Shaanxi and Gansu from entering the capital, so that Li Zicheng's Beijing city was besieged by the Tang army with all its might, and it became a trend of closing the gate and beating the dogs.

An unprecedented battle is finally about to begin.

The Tang army withdrew from Liaodong and was pouring into the capital from all directions, and the terrible news that it was about to launch a full-scale attack on the city of Beijing quickly spread to the Dashun Palace, and Li Zicheng, who heard the news, was terrified.

He could almost intuitively feel that the Tang Army's attack this time was estimated to be the final decisive battle with him, and the battle would be decided.

Is the end of Dashun coming so soon?

Li Zicheng summoned the two most trusted strategists, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, to discuss the matter urgently in the Dongnuan Pavilion.

At this time, in the East Warm Pavilion, the weather has already entered autumn, the cool breeze is blowing, and there is a refreshing feeling that fades away the summer heat. It's just that the three monarchs and ministers in the Dongnuan Pavilion are all full of sadness and worry.

Li Zicheng wrinkled his eyebrows and scolded: "His grandmother is a bear!" I really didn't expect that Li Xiao had such ability, and he could subdue the Qing court within a few months, let them call them ministers and pay tribute, and all changed the Han customs. Now it's a good thing, the Tang army withdrew from Liaodong, and coerced 100,000 Qing troops as servant troops, as well as Korean and Japanese soldiers and horses also came to participate in the war, from the south to the north, about hundreds of thousands of troops, all their strength to kill our capital. The current situation can be described as dangerous, like tired eggs. Two, don't be stupid, if you have any high opinions, say it as soon as possible, only reasonable, I will try my best to adopt it. ”

Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance glanced at each other, and they both had embarrassed expressions on their faces. It's just that Li Zicheng is asking now, and he can't answer it.

Niu Jinxing coughed lightly: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, now my Dashun army, the main force in the country, is basically in the south to resist the attack of the Tang army. ”

"What do you mean? Something else? Could it be that you are big-eyed, do you want to persuade me to abandon this Beijing city? Li Zicheng frowned.

Niu Jinxing snorted, but he didn't dare to speak, Song Xiance sighed slightly, and interjected from the side: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, there are only more than 30,000 soldiers and horses temporarily assembled in the Beijing Division, how can they resist the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Tang Army and its servants!" If you ignore the situation and resist strongly, you are afraid that you will be wiped out in an instant. With all due respect, if the capital is broken, the king is afraid that it will be difficult to escape the hands of the Tang army, but how can this be saved......"

Speaking of this, Song Xiance also had a melancholy look on his face, and he couldn't say anything about the next words.

Li Zicheng's face showed irritability, and he said hatefully: "Is there no other way to think of it except to leave the Jingshi?" Besides, if I leave the capital, where can I go when I recover? ”

"Your Majesty, it is difficult to defend the capital now, and it is indeed not appropriate for us to stick to it here. In the opinion of Weichen, we should give up the Beijing Division, retreat to Shaanxi and Gansu as soon as possible, and then rely on Tongguan to hold on, so that we can have a glimmer of life. Niu Jinxing replied hurriedly.

"Prime Minister Niu is right, in order to protect everything, not only the soldiers and horses in the land of Beijing, but also to protect His Majesty to rush to Xi'an, except for the Dashun army in the Qinling area, it is best to withdraw all the soldiers and horses in other places to Shaanxi, so as to have enough strength advantage to defend Shaanxi and fight with the Tang army. At present, only by acting like this can we preserve my great success. Song Xiance also hurriedly interjected.

Li Zicheng still frowned: "Alas, if we give up the capital so easily, and then give up all parts of the south, then our army can really resist the attack of the Tang army with only one province in Shaanxi?" Moreover, this method is too focused on the present, but not for the sake of the future. In case the Tang army takes the capital and comes to attack Shaanxi again, and if Shaanxi cannot be defended, where can we flee to Fune. ”

"Your Majesty, the situation is so urgent now that we can only think about it for a while, and we can only think about anything else. Now the Tang army is about to besiege the capital with all its might, and I hope that the emperor will make a quick decision. If it is really besieged by the Tang army in the capital, it will be difficult to fly. Song Xiance had a bitter face.

When Li Zicheng heard the words of the two strategists, the expression on his face was very complicated, and his face was constantly trembling.

His grandma's! The Tang army was so persecuting that he was almost out of breath, but Dashun didn't even have the strength to fight back, so he could only lose the city and lose his land and blindly flee west, which was really humiliating.

What's even more hateful is that if you want to save your life now, you can only give this good capital where your ass is not completely hot to Li Xiao, this, this is simply a loss of your own face!

And there are things that frighten me even more.

That is, even if he shrinks his forces and retreats to the Shaanxi area with all his might, will the Tang army stop if he takes the capital, the Central Plains, and even Xuanfu in Shanxi?

They definitely won't.

They will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue, beat the water dogs, and it is advisable to chase the poor with the remaining bravery, and they will not hesitate to conquer themselves, and attack their last stronghold in Shaanxi, so at this moment, where should they flee?

It's just that no matter how entangled such a question is now, what's the use.

After all, the Tang Army's large-scale offensive was imminent, and no matter how much you thought about it, it would be useless.

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng couldn't help but let out a long sigh, then slapped his thigh hard, and said, "Hmph! Let's do it, grandma's, let's keep Guan Shaanxi first, if the Tang army really attacks again, it will not be too late for us to fight against this guy. Even if his mother can't beat him again, Lao Tzu will become a rebel again, and he will never let Li Xiao live a stable life! ”

Soon, the discussion between the monarch and the ministers was established, and Li Zicheng immediately arranged his soldiers and began to carry a large number of property in the capital, and transferred all the large amount of goods accumulated in the capital division to Xi'an as much as possible. Then, under the protection of 3,000 elites, Li Zicheng secretly escaped from the capital in advance and went straight to Xi'an.

As soon as Li Zicheng left, the order in the capital was suddenly in chaos, and a large number of rebels who had not yet withdrawn indulged in looting in the Beijing streets, and even took the opportunity to rape people, kill people and rob property, and burn houses. The entire capital has quickly turned into a hell on earth where there is hardly any law and order to speak of.
