"Sinner Li Zicheng, knock to see Your Majesty!"

On the main hall of the palace of Nanjing City, the leader of the peasant rebel army, Li Zicheng, the founding emperor of the Dashun Dynasty, who made Emperor Chongzhen hate, now kneel in front of the Fengtian Hall with a depressed face, without the heroic spirit of a generation of heroes.

“……”

Emperor Chongzhen, who even wanted to slaughter the other party on the spot and eat his flesh raw, looked at the culprit who had made the Ming Dynasty drift on the verge of ruin for countless years, and became more and more silent for a while.

Perhaps it is because years of glory and wealth have eroded Li Zicheng's ambitions, but at this moment, he looks like a trapped beast praying for a glimmer of life, in the hands of the officials of the six departments of the Ming Dynasty, he is at the mercy of others and does not dare to have the slightest resistance.

Li Zicheng can't even take out the least of the courage to look at death as if he were home, otherwise when Chang'an City is broken, Li Zicheng actually has a lot of time to complete the end of his life.

Of course, at least in terms of temperament, Li Zicheng did a good job, or acted quite well, in the face of Chongzhen's aggressive eyes, Li Zicheng still did not kneel and salute, and stood proudly with his head raised.

"Bold, don't you kneel down when you see Your Majesty? Where are the Imperial Guards? Cane punishment! ”

Shi Kefa, the first assistant of the cabinet on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted loudly on the spot, and several burly guards smashed Li Zicheng on top of the hall with a few big feet, and there was no face.

"That's it, leave this guy suddenly in the eyesway, pull it out at noon and ask for it!"

Thousands of tastes flowed in Chongzhen's heart, once upon a time he almost ended up with the other party, looking at the other party as if he saw the endgame when his royal family was defeated, Chongzhen no longer looked down on him as a victor, and waved his hand to decide the lives of Li Zicheng and more than 100 people of his relatives.

"Now that the rebels of Dashun have been eliminated, they should take advantage of the victory to pursue, so that Sun Chuanting, the governor of the five provinces, can go west, go straight to Huanglong to clear the remnants of Dashun, and prepare for the next westward expedition to Daxi Zhang Xianzhong rebels!"

The demise of Dashun did not come suddenly, in the case of the whole country, the courtiers of the Ming cabinet were very calm, and just finished the disposal of the Dashun Emperor, and then began to plan and calculate the next step of the Ming Dynasty's future layout.

"Accurate, but all Aiqing also bothered to give Sun Chuanting Aiqing and a group of soldiers a reward as soon as possible!"

Perhaps the older he gets, the more mature his thinking is, Chongzhen, who dismisses officials and courtiers at every turn in Beijing, has changed his style of doing things after arriving in Nanjing.

"Obey the order!"

A group of courtiers led by Shi Kefa bowed down to answer, and then a court meeting passed in a hurry.

In Chengdu, the country of abundance, where Zhang Xianzhong, the emperor of Dashun of the Great Western Dynasty, had already learned of the demise of Li Zicheng, the former leader of Dashun, and Li Zicheng was Fu.

"Do you think that now how should I, Daxi, deal with the demise of Dashun?"

For this major event that shocked the world, Zhang Xianzhong will discuss major matters with his subordinate ministers.

"Wang Aiqing, Yan Aiqing, what do you think?"

Although Zhang Xianzhong did not have much culture and admired military merits, he also attached great importance to capable literati, especially for him to be canonized to the left and right ministers.

"Weichen thinks that Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, the predecessors have said that it is difficult to go to the blue sky, although my Daxi has been trapped here for many years due to geographical problems, but in terms of defensiveness, this is also extremely conducive to the deployment of our army."

Zuo Prime Minister Wang Zhaolin took a step forward, although his face was calm, but he also replied with confidence.

"Now the Sword Gate is in the hands of the soldiers of our Great Western Dynasty, and General Sun Kewang personally guards it, even if the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty knock on the pass, it is not a matter of months."

"But our dynasty should also take precautions and recruit soldiers from the people in advance!"

On the other side, Yan Ximing, the prime minister of the Onishi Dynasty, also stepped forward to admonish and put forward his own views.

"The Great Shun Dynasty is the barrier of my Great Western Dynasty against the Ming Dynasty, there is his existence, so the Ming Dynasty has taken it as the target over the years, and now the Great Shun is perished, the Ming Dynasty will take my Great West as the opponent, but it is under the nest, and there are eggs!"

In fact, when Chang'an was besieged in the Dashun Dynasty, there were two voices up and down the Daxi Dynasty, one was naturally that everyone swept the snow in front of the door and didn't care about the frost on their tiles; The other believes that the existence of Dashun is beneficial to Daxi, and that Dashun Li Zicheng was the leader of the peasant rebel army, so he should not sit idly by.

And the two representatives of these two opinions are the civil and military officials headed by the prime ministers on the left and right.

In the end, it was the conservatives led by Zuo Prime Minister Wang Zhaolin and Sun Kewang who won the victory, but they delved into the bottom of it because they figured out the meaning of Zhang Xianzhong himself.

Zhang Xianzhong has been a subordinate of the peasant army since he started the army, even if his heart is higher than the sky and his ambition is great, but he can't resist the strength and opportunities are not as good as others.

Li Zicheng has been the leader of the peasant rebel army in the world since he broke into the king, and Zhang Xianzhong has worked hard by Li Zicheng's side in order to survive and accumulate strength.

But as his wings were full and his strength gradually became stronger, Zhang Xianzhong got rid of Li Zicheng and went out alone.

However, even if he worked hard to create a large area of the country with one hand and one foot, established the Daxi Dynasty, and proclaimed himself emperor, but in the rumors and ambitions of the people, he still made Na Li Zicheng a step above him and regarded Daxi as a vassal of Dashun.

This has become a heart disease in Zhang Xianzhong's heart, why he is struggling and struggling, but in the end he still can't get the recognition of the world; Why is he Li Zicheng called the virtuous king when he ascends outside, is it possible that everyone in the world is blind?

Under the accumulation of heart disease, Zhang Xianzhong was already dissatisfied with the Dashun Dynasty of his close neighbor Li Zicheng, but because there was a common and powerful enemy between the two of them, the Ming Dynasty, if they were allied and fighting, the cheaper one would be the Ming Dynasty that was eyeing the sidelines.

It is not right to fight each other, but when the Dashun Dynasty was repelled by the Ming army step by step, until there was no way to retreat, Zhang Xianzhong did not think of sending a large army out of Sichuan to rescue Dashun, but under the advice of Prime Minister Zuo, he sat back and watched the other party fall in front of his eyes.

And he is not without harvest, Hanzhong, Longnan, Tianshui and other territories that originally belonged to the Dashun Dynasty, as well as the peasant army soldiers stationed therein, were besieged in Chang'an City, Dashun, and then captured, Zhang Xianzhong only sent a few envoys, to give a little benefit, and then the soldiers of these important cities were brought over, and tens of thousands of soldiers were harvested without effort, and countless people were gained.
