Chongzhen didn't attack Yulin not only because there would be too many casualties in the siege, but also because there was not much certainty that a tough siege would be able to take it, as long as Tian Jianxiu defended it and waited for reinforcements, Chongzhen had no choice.

It's better to shoot a few shots, let them know how powerful they are, and then tell the thief emperor that as long as the leader's head is needed, the others don't want it. In this way, the thief started infighting himself, and he will come to accept the results in a few days!

If you can surrender, you can't surrender, and I'll come back later!

After Yulin's affairs were handed over to Xu Ming, Chongzhen led Tianziwei to Mizhi.

Although Mizhi County has been renamed Tianbao County by Li Zicheng at this time, it was changed by Li Zicheng himself, and I don't admit it!

Chongzhen planned to start from Mizhi County and launch a war in which the county town surrounded the city.

His superiority was all cavalry, with rifles. Inferior quality is that there are few people! Only by knocking down one county after another and gradually expanding the ranks can it be possible to win the battle against Li Zicheng and calm the world.

The soldiers of the capital, Xuanfu and Datong cannot be used to strengthen the team, if the Qing army comes to attack, these places will be empty, and they can only start from Shaanxi!

And the people here in Shaanxi are the most suitable for being soldiers! Chongzhen wants to recruit a more powerful army here!

At the next stop, Chongzhen planned to go to Mizhi, which was more than a hundred miles away from Yulin City.

Mizhi is Li Zicheng's hometown, and Fengyang is Chongzhen's hometown.

According to the records of Mizhi County, Li Zicheng returned to his hometown twice and built a palace in Panlong Mountain in the north of Mizhi County.

After Li Zicheng broke through Fengyang, he dug up the ancestral tomb of the Ming Dynasty and destroyed it all, and announced that the dragon vein of the Zhu family was broken! After Zhu Youzhen found out, he was half angry! With the way of others, he also governed his body, and also asked the commander of Mizhi County, Shaanxi Province to find someone to dig up Li Zicheng's ancestral grave, and also hoped to use the same method to cut off Li Zicheng's "dragon qi" and "king qi".

As a result, Li Yan made a small move, which made Chongzhen's plan of digging graves "with the way of others and the body of others" shattered, and also made the people believe in Li Zicheng more.

Li Yan's little plan is to declare to the outside world for Li Zicheng: After Li Zicheng's ancestral grave was dug up, there was a magical "white snake" inside!

In ancient mythology, there is also a big snake on Xuanwu's body, and there is a white snake in Li Zicheng's ancestral tomb, which means that Li Zicheng's father is the reincarnation of Xuanwu, and Li Zicheng is the son of Xuanwu's reincarnation!

It's worth it!

So the superstitious peasants believed in Li Zicheng even more, and finally Zhu Yousong's "use the way of others, but also the body of others" to dig the ancestral grave, accelerated the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen came to Mizhi in such a hurry to destroy this rumor, otherwise Li Zicheng could still rely on these rumors to make the people follow him!

How to destroy these apotheosis colors on Li Zicheng's body?

Simple!

Build the temple of Emperor Taizu on the tomb of Li Zicheng's ancestors, and build two more kneeling statues of Li Zicheng's father and his grandfather beating Li Zicheng, and think that Qin Hui kneels like that, just do it.

Maybe Li Zicheng will be so angry that he will run out of Xi'an, just in time for him to taste the taste of a rifle.

After Chongzhen's Tianzi Wei arrived at Mizhi, the guards of Mizhi County saw that it was the military flag of the Ming Dynasty and hurriedly closed the city gate.

Chongzhen asked people to shout to the county order: "Mizhi county order listens to the order, the Ming Emperor personally leads the Tianziwei, and you wait to open the door and surrender as soon as possible, otherwise we will attack the city!" ”

Mizhi County Commander helped the official hat, and when the soldiers guarding the city came to call him, he still didn't believe it, this Mizhi was far away from Datong, why did the emperor's Tianziwei suddenly come? But now that he really saw it with his own eyes, he rubbed his eyes, Mom, there are at least five or six thousand people! It's all cavalry!

But he didn't coax, after Li Zicheng changed Mizhi to Tianbao County, because Tianbao County was his hometown, he arranged a garrison of 3,000 people in Tianbao County, 3,000 against 6,000, even if the other party was cavalry, it was not so easy to attack the city. Besides, Yulin is only a hundred miles away from Mizhi, where there are 50,000 garrisons of Tian Jianxiu, and the reinforcements will arrive in two days at most, so he said: "Zhu Youzhen, don't think that if you have 5,000 people, we are afraid of you, we have 3,000 people, and you are at most 6,000 people, not to mention whether you can break through the gate of Tianbao County, General Tian's army is in Yulin, knowing that Mizhi has been attacked, and it will arrive in less than a day, I advise you to run quickly, don't wait for General Tian to arrive, you can't run if you want to!" ”

"General Tian, you're talking about Tian Jianxiu, come on, take this letter and take a look!" Chongzhen ordered someone to send the surrender letter of Tian Jianxiu to him to the county order.

When the county order got the letter, it turned out to be Tian Jianxiu's words, the generals of the Dashun power system are all big and rough from the peasants, and among these people, Tian Jianxiu can write. So the county order is to recognize Tian Jianxiu's words.

But General Tian has 50,000 soldiers and horses, why would he ask for surrender? The county order is not easy to fool, so the county order said disbelievingly: "Zhu Youzhen, you are too underestimated by the county order!" General Tian has an army of 50,000 and strong soldiers, what will surrender with you! How can we prove that this is General Tian's letter? This is what you imitated! ”

"If you don't believe it, then we're going to attack the city! Listen to the county order, it is still useful for the emperor to keep your dog's head, you go back to the yamen to hide for the time being, so as not to injure you by mistake without eyes with knives and guns, and we will not be able to explain to the emperor! The caller said.

Mizhi County Order: ......

Zhu Youzhen, did you tell me about the small ones? Three thousand defenders are still afraid of your six thousand?

In fact, this is also Chongzhen deliberately confessed to what the caller said, otherwise the county order would die in a while, who would find the location of Li Zicheng's ancestral grave and build a temple for him! It's still a bit useful to keep the head of this prefectural order.

Next, Chongzhen doesn't talk nonsense with the county order, a small Mizhi County, hundreds of soldiers, and still want to defend! I'm not afraid of 50,000 Yulin City, will I be afraid of you, a small county with hundreds of townships?

He asked Tianziwei to shoot at the defenders on the wall of Mizhi County and began to attack the city.

"Bang bang!"

After a row of gunshots rang out, most of the guards on the wall of Mizhi County were killed or wounded, and the other villagers who were not dead were stupid!

What kind of battle is this? The Tianziwei on the opposite side was still a few hundred steps away, and their people were all dead and wounded! Is that thing in Tianziwei's hand a fire gun? What hits so far, and it can still be fired continuously!

Could this be a legendary artifact? This is how Jiang Jiu's army of 50,000 was defeated? Although Mizhi is quite far away from Datong, Wei Zaode of "Daming Daily" blew too hard, and word of mouth spread to Mizhi.

So the townsmen were very well-behaved, and this battle could not be fought, so they had to surrender......

They all turned around and looked at the county order, and when the county order saw it, they knew that these townsmen would sell him, and they knew that they couldn't hide, so they trapped him by the townspeople.

So before the people of Tianziwei rushed to the city gate, the villagers of Mizhi County opened the door and surrendered with the county order!
