Twenty days have passed since Wang Jian escaped from Beijing, Li Zicheng ordered people to dig three feet into the ground in the Wuying Hall and did not find the remains of Wang Jian and others, he was so angry that he killed several eunuchs and palace maids who were on duty in the Wuying Palace, and then announced to the world that he would ascend the throne and be the emperor in the Huangji Palace.

On the tenth day of April in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the grand enthronement ceremony began. Li Zicheng walked into the Imperial Palace with the help of the inner servant with a spring breeze, and at this time he only felt like a dream, as if he had walked on the pinnacle of life, and his whole mighty face was smiling. The ceremonial music in the palace played, he just sat on the dragon chair, was about to accept the congratulations and kneeling of the ministers, suddenly, he felt a black shadow above his head smashed down, fortunately he kung fu, hurriedly jumped up from the dragon chair and hid aside, only to hear the sound of "bang", the dragon chair under his buttocks was smashed apart before he sat on the hot seat. He looked back and saw that what "sneaked" him up was a huge black dragon ball.

It turned out that the Xuanyuan Mirror in the Dragon Ball was the key to not falling from the Dragon Ball, and without the Xuanyuan Mirror, coupled with the shock of the lively music, the Dragon Ball fell.

The ministers in the hall were also stunned by this incident, and they exchanged their heads and ears.

"Where did you get such a big secret weapon in the palace??!"

"What kind of secret weapon, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, it's the Dragon Ball, it is rumored that the Dragon Ball can distinguish the real from the fake!" One official was worried.

His words were immediately confirmed by a colleague beside him: "Yes, I have also heard that there is indeed such a thing, it is rumored that Emperor Zong of the Ming Dynasty never dared to sit on the dragon chair of the Emperor's Palace, and the previous dynasty was in the Taiji Palace." ”

All of a sudden, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were worried about their fate, and if the rumors were true, then they undoubtedly followed the wrong monarch.

Li Zicheng, who was still smiling just now, had a darker and darker face at the moment, his eyes swept over the ministers who were talking to each other, and everyone felt that a cool breeze was blowing on their necks, and they all shrank their necks in fright.

Chen Yanyin, the former waiter of the Ministry of Rites, said deeply: "Your Majesty, maybe there is something wrong with the day set by the Ministry of Rites, today is not auspicious, it is better to hold the enthronement ceremony on another day." ”

However, Wei Zaode, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly jumped out and said, "The surname is Chen, what do you mean?" This Wei Zaode was rude, righteous and shameless, he did not hesitate to send his own daughter, and even spent a lot of silver taels to dot up and down, and finally kept his official position in front of the new emperor, he calculated the auspicious day day and night, set the etiquette and norms for enthronement, and finally planned a grand enthronement ceremony, Li Zicheng was also extremely satisfied, and he didn't want to have a change, and Chen Yan put the basin on his head, how could he bear it.

Wei Zaode's character is inferior, so naturally he has no good popularity, and some officials shook the pot one after another: "Li Shangshu, it's true that yours is not, there is such a big fork in the auspicious day set by your Ministry of Rites, don't you have responsibility?" ”

"The surname is Wei, what kind of bullshit rules did your mother set, and let me do this, that, make me uncomfortable, I have long seen that it is wrong, you say, are you a fucking spy of Chongzhen, who wants to murder the emperor?!" A general who looked like an official and bandit grabbed Wei Zaode's collar and scolded him.

Li Zicheng's men and horses have long been dissatisfied with these subordinates, and they have finally fought down the country, but they were picked by these former ministers and occupied more than half of the official positions in the court.

Wei Zaode was suddenly out of breath: "You, you..."

Li Zicheng watched the originally solemn enthronement ceremony, because his original subordinates had no rules, and with the contradictions between him and his subordinates, it turned into a noisy vegetable market, singing a tune and throwing a pot.

"Alright, don't fucking make any noise!" Li Zicheng was originally unhappy to see these people surrendering to the ministers, but now he was angry again, he said angrily: "Drag Wei Shangshu down, put him in prison, and pay 100,000 taels, otherwise there will be no forgiveness!" ”

Seeing that Wei Zaode, who was so angry that he vomited blood, was dragged down, Song Xiance stood up and said: "As the saying goes, the will of heaven is difficult to violate, and the ceremony must not be interrupted, otherwise it is disrespectful to God, why don't the emperor continue in a different hall?" ”

Li Zicheng nodded with a dark face and agreed, he has been invincible in the past few years, and he has entered the Forbidden City alone and has many strange things, first running away from Chongzhen, and then the Dragon Ball almost stoned himself to death. Thinking of Chongzhen, he realized in his heart: he must have made a ghost!

So he ignored everyone's dissuasion and insisted on ascending the throne in the ruined Wuying Palace, just to prove that he was the true son of heaven who killed the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty, and he could suppress the evil spirit of the Forbidden City!

On the same day that Li Zicheng ascended the throne, the news of the destruction of Beijing also reached the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and many princes and ministers gathered in Shengjing to discuss countermeasures.

Dai Shan, the head of the four major Baylors, said slowly: "The Guannai is the world of the Han people, and we and the Manchurians are not engaged in production and farming, and we can't stick to it, so it's useless to take it, so it's better to take advantage of Li Zicheng's unstable foothold to enter the customs and loot it as we did the previous times." ”

Naturally, his suggestion was echoed by the vast majority of Qing nobles, who only wanted cattle, sheep and slaves, and never thought of being able to enter the Central Plains.

"Prince Li, don't do it!" Fan Wencheng was anxious when he heard this, the status of the Han people in the Qing Dynasty was very embarrassing, like a slave but not a slave, like a minister but not a minister. If they can't enter the Central Plains, but continue to be in the northeast corner of An, then these Hanchen can only be regarded as "outsiders", and they are not even as good as domestic slaves, and the end can be imagined. Only by enterprising the Central Plains will they become the reliance of Houjin and be reused!

Fan Wencheng said: "The two regents, after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, wantonly humiliated the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, wantonly looted, and was greedy for pleasure and did not want to forge ahead, resulting in the loss of the hearts of the people in the capital. ”

Hong Chengchou also echoed: "What Mr. Fan said is that Li Zicheng's foothold is not stable now, and if he doesn't take it at this time, he will Li Zicheng stand firm in Beijing, and then annex the world, and become the next Ming Dynasty, and then my Daqing will be locked out of the customs again, even if you want to be in a corner of peace, it is impossible." ”

Dai Shan said coldly with disdain: "Hmph, is he Li Zicheng more difficult to deal with than Da Ming?!" This king is old, I just want to live a few days in peace, you slaves, don't want me to wait for the Qing Dynasty men to work hard for your rich future! ”

was reprimanded as a slave on the spot, Fan Wencheng and several other Hanchen were ashamed and indignant for a while, but they had to bite the bullet and continue to speak: "Regent, now I am in the Qing Dynasty and have rich soldiers. Besides, my Qing Dynasty Xing soldiers entered the customs, not to fight with the Ming Dynasty, but to fight with the thieves, for the Ming Dynasty to clear the thieves, will be supported by the people in the customs, it will be like a broken bamboo, and the pacification of the world is like a bag to take things! ”

Although many of the Manchu generals present were far-sighted and quite moved, although they agreed with the words of Fan Wencheng and others, but due to the authority of the regent Daishan, they did not express their opinions, and waited for the other regent Dolgon to take the idea.

Dolgon was deeply appreciated by Nurhachi when he was young, and he was very likely to inherit the throne, but unfortunately Huang Taiji cultivated the Xuanse True Qi before him, and he was defeated in the battle for the throne. Legend has it that when he was young, his mother fell ill and urgently needed a thousand-year-old salmon from the extremely cold land as a medicine. So he went to the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain alone to look for it, not wanting to be trapped in the snow mountain for seven days and seven nights. In the Jedi of hunger and cold, he was unwilling to die, so he realized the change of heaven and man, and got a glimpse of the way to the emperor's realm. Then Huang Taiji forced his mother to die for the funeral, and under the double blow of extreme unwillingness and resentment, he pointed to the sky and roared: If the sky destroys me, I will punish him. Since then, he has officially stepped into the realm of the emperor, and his "one-handed punishment of heaven" and Li Zicheng's "innocent country" are listed as the two supreme masters in troubled times.

Dolgon, who stepped into the realm of the emperor, still chose to continue to forbear, originally after the death of Huang Taiji, he suddenly made a difficult move to seize the throne in one fell swoop, but unfortunately Cang Tian played a joke with him again---- Li Zicheng attacked the city of Beijing. This also completely disrupted his plan to seize the emperor, and he had to reconcile with Hauge and other princes, and was respected as the regent of the emperor's uncle. He is also the only one among the three emperors of the troubled times who has a real nameless emperor realm master.

Under the vigorous advocacy of many Hanchen Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong, Kong Youde, etc., Dolgon had long had the ambition to top the Central Plains, and he was really angry, and the dark dragon qi instantly filled the entire battle, and he said with a final word: "This world is the world of the people of the world." Why should the Han people enjoy the richest land and the most beautiful women in the world, while the Manchu people should be trapped in this bitter cold place. This is the most beautiful and fertile place in the world, and the strong live in it. ”

"Dark Dragon Qi!" The Manmeng princes present all gasped, they never expected that Dolgon was the man of destiny, and at the same time he was suppressed by his momentum, and he didn't dare to say much about it, even Dai Shan, who was the regent!

So Dolgon decided to personally lead 150,000 elites of the Eight Banners, 30,000 of the Han Banners, 70,000 of the Three Banners of Mongolia, and a total of 250,000 troops from the Xifeng Pass.

After 15 days of rapid marching to Zunhua City, the Manchu army took this empty city without much effort, and then the army was divided into two roads, one route was led by Prince Su Haoge, and the Ming Dynasty surrendered Zu Dashou as the vanguard of a total of 30,000 to attack Luanzhou, Yongping two cities, and cut off the back road of the Shanhaiguan garrison. On the other hand, Dolgon personally led the main force south to attack the Beijing division.

At this time, in Luanzhou City, the people only knew that the Guan Ning army was resting here, but they didn't know that the Great Tomorrow was also among them.

Luanzhou Imperial Military Conference.

"Your Majesty, the military situation is urgent, Haoge of Jianyu took Yongping three days ago, and he is coming to Luanzhou at this time!" Early in the morning, Wang Chengen hurriedly reported.

"How many soldiers and horses are there?" Wang Jian was startled when he heard that the Manchu Qing Dynasty would enter the customs so soon, and hurriedly asked.

"Back to the emperor, Hauge's headquarters is only 30,000 horses, and the striker is rebellious... Zu Dashou, but 3,000 people, fifteen miles away. Wu Sangui paused and said. This ancestor is Wu Sangui's own uncle, so he can only answer first, in order to show the boundary with him.

When Wang Jian heard that there were no more than 30,000 people, which was about the same as his own troops, and it was still an old acquaintance Zu Dashou, he immediately relieved himself.

"Your Majesty, it is estimated that the thieves have blocked the news that the Son of Heaven is still alive, so Jianyu will only divide his troops here when he knows that the Beijing division has been broken." Confucius Meng groaned.

Wang Jian's eyes lit up, which meant that Haoge thought that this was also an empty city, and he could kill him by surprise.

"Well, since that's the case, then I'll let him have no return!" Wang Jian said murderously.
