Liu Zongmin and Li Yan came to Zhengyang Gate with two thousand elite soldiers according to Chongzhen's plan, and there were already hundreds of officials waiting on the city wall, Liu Zongmin shouted to the hundred officials on the city wall, "Emperor Chongzhen's old man stayed in my camp and didn't come back, quickly open the door and surrender, otherwise we will attack the city immediately!" ”

The people in the city are in a mess.

Wang Lang, the left attendant of the ministry, asked, "The emperor didn't listen to our advice, and now he is detained by thieves."

Wei Zaode pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring and said, "Chongzhen has no way, indiscriminately kills innocents, I think it is the plan for now, I can only open the door and surrender, it is said that King Chuang will not pay for food, and you will also be reused"

"Why don't you pay food, what King Chuang hates the most is the princes and noble officials, if you don't pay food, you will coax the homeless, if you don't pay food, what will he eat with so many soldiers and horses," said Lord Lang Fan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials.

"Yes, I heard that the first thing King Chuang did wherever he went was to rob the big families in the city and confiscate the assets of the big ones as military funds."

After Li Zicheng captured the city in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, begged Li Zicheng for mercy, Li Zicheng angrily reprimanded Zhu Changxun for being rich in the world, but he refused to send a penny to help the people, and then beat the flesh and blood of the king of Fu, and finally cooked and ate it with a few deer. Then Li Zicheng, in my opinion, is the rebirth of Huangchao, and he wants to kill all the cities of Beijing! ”

"In that case, if you don't open the door and surrender, you will die, and if you open the door and surrender, how can it be good?"

"Rest assured, the reason why Li Zicheng raided his house was that he was just a rogue at that time. Now that Li Zicheng has conquered the city of Beijing, he is the new emperor. The establishment of a new dynasty always requires us civil officials to formulate new laws and new rites" Wei Zaode thought, Li Zicheng is grasping those imperial relatives and relatives, since ancient times, military generals have fought the world, but after the world is stable, it is up to the literati to govern the world.

"Yes, we are only civil officials, and in troubled times, we rely on military generals, and we still have to rely on us civil officials to govern the world," another minister chimed in

"Can't surrender, Nanjing Shi Kefa also led 200,000 troops to Qinwang, it will be there in a few days, if we surrender at this time, Shi Kefa can let us go, I think we can only defend to the death" Wu Xiang, the secretary of the ministry

"Lord Wu, there are only more than 10,000 defenders in our city, and more than 100,000 troops outside, when Shi Kefa arrives, I am afraid that all we can see is our corpse!"

"Lord Wu, your son Wu Sangui has 400,000 soldiers and horses in Shanhaiguan, are you still afraid of him?"

"Yes, Lord Wu, we don't surrender at this moment, I'm afraid that the city will be broken in less than a quarter of an hour, and Shi Kefa will take at least half a month to arrive, there is a plague in the city, and the soldiers are infected with diseases, so they can't defend it."

"Chongzhen had no way, didn't listen to our advice, went out to see King Chuang, and gave his life. Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, he has indiscriminately killed Zhongliang and imprisoned hundreds of colleagues in the prison. In my opinion, in order to prevent the people of the whole city from suffering from the war, we can only open the door to welcome the new monarch" Wei Zaode understands that he is the first assistant of the cabinet, and if he stands up and takes the lead in welcoming the new emperor now, then he is very likely to be reused by the new emperor, and maybe he will continue to be the first assistant of his cabinet. Li Zicheng is a group of homeless people, Li Zicheng wants to govern the world, he can't do without him, what does he say that he Wei Zaode is still a champion!

"Lord Wei has a point, I think I can only open the door and surrender"

"yes"

"That's all I think"

"Then let's open the door and surrender"

The ministers were about to open the door to welcome the king, but they found that the city gate had been opened, and it turned out that Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the military department, had already led his cronies to open the city gate while everyone was discussing! Or Lord Zhang will be an official.

Seeing this, the ministers hurriedly followed Zhang Jinyan and knelt down.

Liu Zongmin led the soldiers and horses over, "Who are you?" ”

Zhang Jinyan returned, "I am Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War"

"The secretary of the military department, what didn't hit you to open the door, there is a person like you as the secretary of the military department, no wonder we didn't have a decent resistance all the way over, come on, tie me up!"

"The general spares his life, the general...."Zhang Jinyan originally thought that he would be the first to open the door and surrender, so that he could be reused, but as a result....

The ministers watched Zhang Jinyan being dragged down, and they were so frightened that they knelt down and didn't dare to raise their heads.

Liu Zongmin pointed at Wei Zaode and asked, "Who are you?"

Wei Zaode said with a very serious look: "Back to the king, the minister's name is Wei Zaode, he is the champion of the previous dynasty, Chongzhen has no way, and even died in the country, I led the ministers to kneel here to welcome the king to establish a new dynasty." ”

Liu Zongmin scolded: "You are a champion, Chongzhen promoted you to Shoufu in three years, Chongzhen promoted and reused you like this, but you slandered him for being unreasonable!" Why don't you die! ”

Wei Zaode brazenly said: "I heard that King Chuang loves talents, and he wants to be effective, so dare to die?" Wei Zaode thought that Liu Zongmin was the king of Li Zicheng.

Liu Zongmin didn't understand what he meant, and asked Li Yan, who told him very sadly that Wei Zaode meant to serve the new imperial court, so he didn't dare to die.

This is the champion, I, Li Yan, am just a lifter, this champion is simply disgraced by the face of a scholar!

Liu Zongmin was completely angry, what kind of official, so bad, immediately ordered someone to tie up all these officials!

Li Yan looked at all this happening in front of him, are these people all scholars? What is so dirty?

According to the terms of the peace agreement, Chongzhen distributed one million silver to the three kings, and Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin happily returned to their respective fiefdoms with the silver. It was agreed that if the Qing demon came to attack Beijing, the three kings would send troops to help.

In Beijing in March, the sun was warm, there was Zhuge Liang tongue battle group Confucianism in ancient times, reached the Wushu alliance to burn Chibi and defeated Cao Cao, and now I have Chongzhen tongue battle group Kou, promote Ming Shun to negotiate peace, and the next thing is to clean up the old mountains and rivers! This emperor is getting more and more interesting.

Chongzhen thought to himself that in order to win the war with the Qing Dynasty, he must learn from the War of Resistance Against Japan, mobilize the people, and let the Qing demon fall into the ocean war of the people, so that he can be sure of victory.

There are also the scholars of the Donglin Party, who hum and chirp all day long and insult the court, but they do not pay taxes, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble all day long, and they keep saying that reviving morality and morality will help the world. These people have the control of the country's public opinion, and if we want to deal with these people, we must take back the power of public opinion. These readers, like the Yuan Dynasty, wrote songs and compiled novels, it is best to use them for my Chongzhen, and treat the Donglin Party in the same way that the Donglin Party treats the imperial court!

Chongzhen was a human being for two generations, and decided to let Dongchang run a newspaper, expose the Qing demon slaughter of the city, and expose corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Education is also very important, and I know from the 21st century that whoever has the most advanced science and technology is the overlord of this earth!

Of course, money is needed to do all this, money is not everything, but without money you can't. The most important thing now is to let these corrupt officials spit out the money.
