Chapter 4 Reaching a Peace
"The Mongols of the former dynasty carried out a month-long massacre of the city of Beijing, killing millions of Han people, including women, children and the elderly; Mongolia led troops to attack Sichuan, wantonly slaughtered 20 million Han people, and only ended up with no people; Everywhere Xuzhou, Hangzhou, and Mongolia went, nine out of a hundred Han people were killed! ”
"You are besieging 100,000 people, and I have 400,000 soldiers and horses from Wu Sangui at the Customs, why didn't I call him back to Beijing to guard?" Chongzhen deliberately sold a pass.
"Why?" Liu Zongmin asked impatiently
"If the city of Beijing is broken, the prince will ascend the throne in Nanjing City! If the Shanhai Pass is broken, my Huaxia people will only be slaughtered by the Qing Demon! After the Mongols entered the Central Plains, the Han people were classified as the lowest class, and the Mongols killed the Han people and fined money; If the Han people oppose the Mongols, they will destroy the nine tribes! When a Han person marries a wife, the wife cannot give it to her husband on the first night, but has to sleep with the Mongolian people for three days and three nights! ”
"What the emperor said, I have also heard of it, after the Mongols entered the Central Plains, they slaughtered cities everywhere, and I heard about it in the first night, so there is a saying that the firstborn fell into the son, in order to maintain the pure blood of the Han people" Li Yan said thoughtfully.
"him, my wife is sleeping with someone!" Liu Zongmin couldn't hold his breath at first.
"Otherwise, it is to destroy the Nine Clans! At that time, the Han people were scattered and were broken by the Mongols, how to rebel! Later, Taizu rebelled against the Yuan and drove the Mongols back to the desert. When Taizu was dying, he left a testament, as long as my Zhu family is here, I must not let my China be bullied by foreign races again! "I made it up, and this group of people doesn't know the truth anyway.
"In the first year of Chongde, the Qing demon entered the customs and humiliated 180,000 people and animals; In the 3rd year of Chongde, he humiliated 460,000 people and animals, 5,000 taels of gold, and 1 million taels of silver. Pity my people of the Ming Dynasty, since then they have been bullied by the Qing Demon, you say, there is a precedent of Mengyuan, can I recall Wu Sangui for my own selfishness? ”
Li Yan lowered his head in shame, he didn't expect that the entry of the Qing Demon would bring such a big disaster to the people, the emperor resisted the Qing Demon in front, but he led people to rebel and cause chaos in the rear, and he had no shame to see the people who were plundered by the Qing Demon, and he opened his mouth to rebel for them, alas
"The clear demon of the dog day!" Liu Zongmin shouted loudly, "Big brother, let's kill this group of Qing demons!" "Liu Zongmin is a big boss, and his joys, sorrows, and joys are immediately expressed.
Li Zicheng was silent, he was just a post station official, because the post station was withdrawn and there was no way to live, he rebelled, and he had the highest cultural position in a group of displaced people, and then he was supported as a big brother, but it was Li Yan and Niu Jinxing who made the plan, and it was Liu Zongmin who rushed to the front, his pattern is not so big, he does not have the ambition and city government like Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, and now he is the king, which is not bad, as for the people and the Qing demon, what do you say, follow what to do.
Chongzhen saw that the time was almost up, so he said to them, "The Qing demons are the same as the Mongols, as long as they invade China, they will inevitably be the same as the Mongols, so I let Wu Sangui stick to the Shanhai Pass, if the city of Beijing is broken, the crown prince Nanjing ascends the throne, and when the time comes, the prince will lead the troops north, and Wu Sangui will join forces to recapture Beijing, but the most important thing at the moment is to reject the Qing demons!" ”
Chongzhen hit the draft and then flickered, "I won't hide it from you, Wu Sangui once wrote back that the Qing Demon is extremely fierce and needs support, I have 60,000 defenders in Beijing City, and I have divided 30,000 to support!" If you bring in an army to attack the city at this time, it will only cost you two thousand. If you go to attack the city, these young people will only open the door and surrender immediately, which is also the reason why I detain so many officials! The day before yesterday, you and others proposed to negotiate, the conditions were not high, and I was willing to refuse to clear the demons, but I did not want to enter Beijing to meet you, after thinking about it, instead of waiting for the city to die, it is better to come and make it clear to you now, I die, the Ming Dynasty will not die, you are still pursued by Wu Sangui's 400,000 army and the prince's soldiers! But if you wait for the peace treaty, I would like to crown you and the other three as kings, and the hereditary replacement! After the Qing demon is destroyed, you can comfortably enjoy the happiness of your prince holding the beauty! Daming is willing to live in peace with you and let the people live and work in peace and contentment! ”
"But if you directly capture the city of Beijing, Shi Kefa of Nanjing has already led 200,000 troops to King Qin. Shi Kefa, I don't know if you've ever heard of it? Chongzhen said
"That Shi Kefa was Lu Xiangsheng's deputy envoy back then, and he led 200,000 peasant troops to shake the sky back then, and he was defeated in one fell swoop," Li Yan said.
"Exactly, Shi Kefa estimates that there will be ten days to go to Beijing" Chongzhen said deliberately, anyway, according to the date, in half a month, Shi Kefa's army will really arrive, and Wu Sangui's army will really arrive, but the current Beijing city will be broken at one touch, and I can't wait for more than ten days!
Historically, Shi Kefa and Wu Sangui really wanted King Qin of Beijing, but when they were still halfway there, the city of Beijing was broken, Chongzhen became the hanged ghost of the locust tree in the coal mountain, and the Ming Dynasty had no emperor, and they didn't know who they were going to serve for!
"Big brother, agree, I think what the emperor said is right, we can't survive in rebellion, Li Yan's previous proposal is the same as what the emperor said" Liu Zongmin said to Li Zicheng.
Chongzhen thought to himself, sure enough, it was Li Yan who proposed the peace. In this peasant army, only Li Yan has such an insight pattern. Others, really all of them are grass and grass, and it is not enough to be troubled. This Li Yan must be used for himself.
"How can we believe you, what will Shi Kefa do when he comes to attack us after we retreat," Li Zicheng asked.
"No jokes! At the moment, our biggest enemy is the Qing Demon! ”
"Okay, my brothers who started the army with Li Zicheng can't survive, since the emperor is willing to agree to our conditions, we are willing to coexist peacefully with the emperor and fight the demons together!" Li Zicheng is actually the same as Song Jiang, and he is happy to give a reward for the territory, but with the experience of Song Jiang, Li Zicheng doesn't want to drink poisonous wine like Song Jiang, so he made a special statement that he would not be summoned to the Hajj, because he was afraid that he would be given poisonous wine if he entered the Hajj! As for the long-term plan that Li Yan said, it is a long-term thing. Anyway, Li Yan and Chongzhen both said that the Ming in the south is very powerful, as well as Zhang Xianzhong, the big devil, and the Qing demon in the north....... I don't know what to do, but since I am talking about peace, let's talk about peace, anyway, I am not called to the Hajj, and it is good to have my own territory as a king.
"I have a request" Chongzhen suddenly thought, why don't you let Liu Zongmin help me suppress that group of civil officials, now they don't listen to their own commands, and they are ready to sell me to Chengcheng, so that Li Zicheng Liu Zongmin and Li Yan know that it is not that I am not benevolent, but that there are too many officials below the young generation, and they just use Liu Zongmin to chase and recover stolen goods, Liu Zongmin can squeeze out 70 million taels of silver, I can loosen up, it is always okay to squeeze out 10 million or 20 million! "Please also ask King Yong and King Bian to do a favor"
"Who is King Yong and King Bian" The big old man is the big old man, Liu Zongmin was the first to interject
"The Yong King is you," Niu Jinxing reminded
"It's me," Liu Zongmin said embarrassedly, "The emperor has sealed three kings at once, and Lao Tzu has not yet distinguished which king Lao Tzu is."
"Many of my corrupt officials are greedy for life and fear of death, and they are traitors to seek glory and glory, and I want to use the hands of King Yong to eradicate these villains and benefit the people of Dawn!"
"What does the emperor ask" Liu Zongmin wanted to make meritorious service.
"Please lead King Yong Bian to lead a thousand elite soldiers to the city, and tell the generals who defend the city that I will not come back in the camp for the time being, and if the soldiers defending the city do not open the door, they will attack the city immediately."
"Huh?" Liu Zongmin was puzzled
"Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, at this time, they will join King Yong's favor, open the city gate and surrender, these black sheep can just be eliminated" Chongzhen said, "But King Yong should not kill innocents indiscriminately, King Yong can immediately lead his troops to set off"
"Good!" Liu Zongmin said happily.
Chongzhen thought to himself, with Liu Zongmin to help eliminate the traitorous ministers, Li Yan, a scholar who is jealous and hateful, can also help supervise and supervise Liu Zongmin, and let Li Yan know that I, Chongzhen, am really a good emperor, and you Li Yan will work for me.
Zhang Jinyan, you despicable villain, you want to sell me so that you can continue to be an official in the new dynasty, Lao Tzu can't make your dreams come true, no, anyway, Chongzhen is dead, you can't do your dreams, and it's even more ruthless than me!
