May 17, 16th year of Yongli. This day is a very special day for the Chinese people. That is, on the tenth day when the Qing army suddenly abandoned the city and left the capital division to go south. Another mighty army appeared on the outskirts of Beijing, and unlike the departing Qing army, this army had a banner that read "Ming" and "Chu", and this flag showed their identity. In fact, as early as five days ago, that is, when the Qing army abandoned the city and fled, more than 10,000 Ming cavalry appeared outside the city, but they were not in a hurry to enter the city, but scattered near the city gate and camped on the spot.

In this way, the people in the city are also a little relieved, at least, there is no need to worry about the rebels entering the city and looting. Although at this time, the ruffians in the city took advantage of the fire to rob everywhere, but it was better than the chaotic soldiers entering the city, and the big families in the city ordered Ding to carry a knife to patrol the nearby streets and alleys, but it also made those ruffians dare not act recklessly.

However, after the chaos experienced by the people in the city, although they did not expect the army to enter the city, they hoped that the government would come in early to maintain order and let the people live a peaceful life again.

On May 17, on the sixth day after leaving Xiaowutai, Li Ziyuan finally approached Jingshi, and when the walls of the capital appeared in his sight, his breathing seemed a little short, so that when he was riding on a horse, he couldn't help but want to gallop on his horse in order to reach Jingshi as soon as possible.

However, he is always trying to restrain this thought, he is afraid that the people and horses around him will not be able to keep up, although after the capture of Shanxi, because of the opening of the road to Mongolia, the Chu army has exchanged tea, silk and iron pots and other inland goods for more than 100,000 horses - although those Mongolian princes have long been organized into eight banners, but it does not prevent them from doing business with the Han people, especially when Li Ziyuan's price is much higher than that of ordinary Jin merchants, except for a part of the horses exchanged for being used by Li Ziyuan to equip the Chu army and train cavalry, Outside the towed carriages, two-thirds of them were sold to the south, and most of them were exchanged for weapons and ammunition with Jiangbei. The reason why so much gunpowder was exchanged was not because the Chu army could not make gunpowder, but because it could not make gunpowder as good as Jiangbei gunpowder.

Gunpowder has always been Li Ziyuan's heart disease, because the gunpowder made by the Chu army is not as powerful as ninety percent of Jiangbei, so what he is most worried about is that after breaking with Zhu Mingzhong in the future, Jiangbei will cut off his gunpowder, and it is precisely because of this that he will sell the horse to Jiangbei as much as possible, even if the price is low, as long as he can exchange it for enough gunpowder.

Now, with 100,000 barrels of gunpowder produced in Jiangbei as the backing, he is full of confidence when he enters the Beijing Division, and he still has the slightest scruples there.

On the 17th day of May, under the guard of six cavalry battalions, the officials and retinues of the king of Chu's yamen either followed by carriages or horses, and then there were thousands of carriages full of various burdens. Because of Li Ziyuan's status as the king of Chu, he naturally took a full set of honor guards and was in the middle of the team. Riding on the Mongol "filial piety" warhorse, he wore a Western-style bright silver armor, which was inlaid with gold patterns, and only looked so noble. This is the Western armor he bought for nearly 10,000 taels of silver, it is said that it is difficult to be injured by a gun, as for whether it is true or false, Li Ziyuan doesn't care, what he needs is the gorgeousness of this armor, and even he ordered a Western armor engraved with Panlong to that person, the price is easy to say, as long as it is with his mind.

Li Ziyuan, who was wearing this gorgeous armor, was holding the apricot yellow silk reins in his left hand at this time, and pointed out the mountains and rivers to the people around him with a horsewhip with his right hand, talking about how easy it was to take the Beijing master, and he was smiling.

"It doesn't take a single shot to capture the Jingshi, and throughout the ages, those who can force hundreds of thousands of enemies to abandon the city and flee in the name of prestige, except for our Chu army, who is there?"

He was talking about Chu Jun, but Li Ziyuan was referring to himself, and he was able to take down the Jingshi without much effort, which was far beyond his expectations, how could this not make him proud.

"If you are not the king, how can you have my Chu army? The prestige of the Chu army today is all thanks to the king! ”

Xu Yuncheng complimented on the side, and when complimenting, he said euphemistically.

"The king, now the Qing captives are afraid of the prestige of our Chu army, so they abandon the city and flee, all the way to the south and all the way to the north, in order to avoid harming the people, I also ask the king to send troops to expel them."

Xu Yuncheng's suggestion was very tactful, what to harm the people, what to expel it, this is not the scope of his consideration at all, what he wants is to use this to calm the world.

After all, anyone can see the oddity in it. Therefore, Xu Yuncheng hoped that the king could send an army, even if it was for show.

But Li Ziyuan didn't care about this. He just smiled disappreciatively.

"As the old saying goes, the poor don't chase, the ancients said so, naturally they have their reason, you don't see that Fulin himself led tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of women and children out of Zhang Heng into Mongolia, and let his son lead 130,000 troops all the way to the south, depending on the situation is to enter Henan into Shaanxi, and then go to Mongolia in the northwest of Shaanxi, his abacus is playing well......"

In addition to admiration, Li Ziyuan glanced at Zhu Yingsheng meaningfully.

"Lone's Northern Expedition is only 200,000 under his command, and it is more than enough to attack it all the way, and the division of troops into two roads is slightly insufficient, if only one way is attacked, even if the other way is cleared and does not return to the division to help, but after it escapes, he will definitely be in trouble with me in the future, so it is better to let it escape into Mongolia......

In fact, at the beginning, he also considered attacking the Qing captives while they were retreating, but in the end he gave up this idea.

"Great King, if he escapes into Mongolia, it will definitely be a disaster for me!"

When Xu Yuncheng's words fell, I saw Zhu Yingsheng, who had been silent, pretending to smile mysteriously.

"Brother Xu, don't forget, it's Monti there! Now the so-called Manchuria has been recovered by the Huai Domain, and the Qing captives fled into Mongolia, if there are only tens of thousands of soldiers led by the chieftain, it will inevitably be annexed by the Mongols, but if the chieftain leads 200,000 soldiers, when the time comes, it is not known who they annex, and how can the Mongols be willing to occupy the land for the Qing captives, in the following opinion, after the Qing captives enter the Mongolian land, at least ten years or more than a few decades, the Mongolian land will definitely be in turmoil, they will definitely kill each other, in order to fight for the territory, so, in my Ming Dynasty is naturally beneficial and harmless! ”

True and false, false and true, Zhu Yingsheng's words, no one can tell whether it is true or false, because everyone who has a little common sense knows that he is telling the truth, as long as the Qing captives flee into Mongolia, then the captives will kill each other, after all, the Mongols cannot be willing to give up their territory to the Manchus.

It's just that who knows, whether it is Hong Chengchou or Zhu Yingsheng, they have already planned for a long time, and the Manchu Qing escape into Mongolia is not the best choice for them, they need to let the Qing prisoners stay in Guannei in the next few years, and only in this way can they temporarily cover up their "brilliance".

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Yingsheng will lure Li Ziyuan to sit back and watch the Qing army flee. Of course, for Li Ziyuan, this also has many advantages, such as this important place in Beijing, and then this Beizhili, when the Qing army retreated, these places have been surrendered to him, and now Li Ziyuan is naturally greatly strengthened.

And this is also what Hong Chengchou wants to see, and it is also contributed by Zhu Yingsheng's efforts, and even the reason why he is staying by Li Ziyuan's side now is also for all this.

As for Li Ziyuan, although he couldn't guess what Hong Chengchou and Zhu Yingsheng were thinking, he knew what was more beneficial to him, it was human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and for Li Ziyuan, he also needed Zhu Yingsheng, and even Hong Chengchou, but now the two of them are still short of the last window paper.

It's just that now there is still a little thing left before I pierce that layer of window paper. And this time, the attack on the Beijing division is to make efforts to pierce that layer of window paper.

Everyone has their own plans, and they also have their own abacus, Li Ziyuan is like this, Xu Yuncheng is the same, as for Zhu Yingsheng and others, what he did was just that sentence - "The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. ”

"What Yun Qi said is very true, when the Qing captives and the Mengtars kill each other, and they are both defeated, they will lead the Northern Expedition again, so that the battle can be decided, and the people of my Han family will be given a hundred years of peace!"

Maybe Li Ziyuan himself didn't notice that now in many cases, he rarely mentions Da Ming anymore, and even in the army, he is under the banner of the word "Chu", as for the "Ming", it is only occasionally raised, and people's mentality is always changing.

What Li Ziyuan can't notice, others won't ignore, especially for Zhu Yingsheng, who is planning to show his fortunes by Li Ziyuan's side, he naturally notices these details, but he only hides them in his heart and doesn't reveal any thoughts.

"King Gaoyi!"

In the sound of everyone's sycophants, Li Ziyuan looked a little floating, looking at the Jingshi who was getting closer and closer, he even thought of a few years ago, thinking of the precarious scene in the Houjin camp back then, at that time, how could he have thought that one day he would be able to be the king of Chu and be on an equal footing with the general.

"Hey!"

Thinking of the deceased general, Li Ziyuan suddenly sighed.

"Today's Jingshi Kefu, the Northern Expedition can be described as a success, but unfortunately, the King of Min can not see this scene, "the first death before the division makes the hero full of tears", if it is not the King of Fujian, how can I have my Ming Dynasty today, speaking of which, Lone is also by the grace of the King of Min......"

Listening to the king's sigh, Xu Yuncheng persuaded on the side.

"King, today you have restored the Beijing Division, so that my Han people can recover the rivers and mountains. Presumably, after King Min saw it, he would also look at Jiuquan. ”

But after a moment of sighing, staring at the closer and closer capital, Li Ziyuan put aside the little sadness in his heart, stared at the Jingshi, and his mood became more and more excited......
