In today's situation, any strategy is useless, everything must be spoken with fists, compared to strength, it is the army.

The current army of the Beijing Division has become useless compared to the combat effectiveness of the Tiance Army, and the 100,000 troops, including the Tianxiong Army and the Guanning Army, have been completely defeated, and the defenders of the Beijing Division have no role in this role. The Tiance army is in front of the Beijing Division, and Chongzhen said that it is not impossible to be the king of the dead country, it depends on whether Wang Yue wants to sit in that position.

In the face of Chongzhen's roar, Wen Tiren opened his mouth and stammered, thinking of other ideas. Xue Guoguan's face was pale, his head was sweating, and he was thinking about how to run out of the Beijing Division.

Only Yang Sichang spoke: "Your Majesty, now it seems that the only way for the imperial court to move the capital is the best policy." ”

It's nice to say that the relocation is good, which means, the emperor, now you should run away with us quickly.

Yang Sichang's idea Xue Guoguan raised his hands in agreement and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Yang is right, now the only way is to move the capital." ”

"What? Moving the capital? Chongzhen was stunned.

Yang Sichang said bitterly: "Your Majesty, now that Wang Yue's momentum has been achieved, no one in the Tiance Army can stop him, and he may enter the Beijing Division at any time." If the emperor falls into the hands of Wang Yue, even if he doesn't do Wang Mang, he will definitely do Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao! ”

After Wang Yue entered the Beijing Division, he had only two choices, one was to immediately seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, and the other was to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and then seek the dynasty to usurp the throne. The current situation of Wang Yue and the imperial court, if the Zhu Ming Dynasty is not overthrown, once Wang Yue is weak in the future, the imperial court will definitely settle accounts after the autumn, and it will be light to raid the family and exterminate the clan.

Of course, no one would have thought that Wang Yue had a third way to go, because the starting point city was an alternative existence.

Chongzhen is not another emperor, he still made the same choice as in history: "I will never move the capital, the Son of Heaven will guard the country, and the king will die, do you want me to be the king of the head of the mouse?" ”

His words are similar to the answer to some courtiers suggesting that the capital be moved, in which Li Zicheng had already taken Shanxi, and the imperial court had three major discussions about moving the capital.

Emperor Chongzhen summoned Li Mingrui, a scholar of Hanlin, Li Banghua, the chief constitution, and Lu Daqi, the former governor of Jiujiang Military Government, to discuss matters in the main hall of Da Neide. When the emperor asked about the future strategy, Li Mingrui did not play haha, and said bluntly that the Liukou (referring to Li Zicheng's department) was approaching the capital, and the only wise choice was to move the capital to Nanjing.

Because this was a private summons, Chongzhen asked about the specific steps of moving south and how to get out of Beijing after confirming that no one was eavesdropping, which was already a statement of his position.

After that, Chongzhen summoned Li many times to discuss the matter of moving south, and finally got stuck in the funds, Li meant to use the internal silver, Chongzhen meant to use the user silver, and finally the dispute could not be settled, and the matter was settled.

The second discussion of moving the capital was opposed by the officials in the north, because their land was in the north, and most of these officials in the north were in high positions.

The third time the capital was moved, because of the opposition of the previous northern officials, the ministers who held the view of moving south proposed a compromise plan, that is, the emperor would stay behind to guard Beijing and send the crown prince south, so that even if the dynasty was overturned, the southerners would immediately have a legitimate heir, and this suggestion was echoed by the majority of people.

？ Of course, Emperor Chongzhen was unhappy, this was obviously making a sacrifice, so the proposal to move the capital for the third time was also aborted.

Therefore, the key to the southward migration of the Ming court was Emperor Chongzhen's face and stinginess, and it was difficult for the Ming court to move south, so it was difficult for Yang Sichang's proposal to be realized.

Now that the imperial court is helpless, Chongzhen and several ministers can't discuss a result, the only thing they can do is to strengthen the defense of the Jingshi, but how effective such measures can be, they all understand in their hearts that this is just asking for comfort.

After Xue Guoguan and Yang Sichang left, Wen Tiren stayed behind for a while, and seemed to have a private word to say to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen was disappointed by the performance of several cabinet ministers and despaired of the safety of Jingshi, he sat down on the dragon chair and said to Wen Tiren weakly: "Wen Aiqing, what do you have to say to me?" ”

Chongzhen also knew that the current situation was incomprehensible, so he didn't have much hope for what Wen Tiren could come up with.

Wen Tiren looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, he said softly to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the starting point city has become a big trouble for the Beijing Division, and now that the imperial army is defeated, the only way to ask for foreign aid is to ask for foreign aid." ”

"Foreign aid?" Chongzhen was puzzled: "Where is there foreign aid now?" Does Aiqing mean to transfer Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting to Beijing and enter the guard? But the rogues have not yet been appeased, and once they are transferred, the rogues will surely resurrect and the thieves will blaze blazing! ”

In May, Zhang Xianzhong rose again in Gucheng, and the peasant uprisings in various places were rekindled, and the peasant uprising army led by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the new kings, gradually became like a prairie fire, and the peasant armies in Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Henan and other places also surged.

In April, the imperial court appointed Xiong Wencan, the governor of Liangguang and Guangzhou, to the rank of secretary of the military department, "the prime minister of Nanjing, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Huguang, and Sichuan military affairs", suppressed the peasant rebellion, and formally implemented Yang Sichang's strategy of spreading the net on four fronts, six corners, and ten sides.

Then the imperial court transferred Yunnan troops into Chu to strengthen the army. However, the army had no food and no food, and "the Yunnan soldiers were extremely undisciplined, plundering everywhere, and the people heard about it, and the villages fled empty."

However, the treasury was empty and there was no money to raise, and the military department's message on the 8th day of the fifth month revealed that "there is no reason for the household department to solve the main items of money and food, and the provincial feudal department has no money to move even after asking questions, and there is nothing to do, and the sorrow of the heart collapse and drowning is not limited to those who should be appeased."

It was precisely because of the great pressure of suppressing bandits in the Central Plains that Chongzhen did not easily use the forces of Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting to deal with the Tiance army.

In fact, the current situation has reached the time when it has to be used, and it is precisely because the Ming Dynasty has continuously transferred the elite divisions of the bandits to the east to deal with the Qing army, and these elite Ming troops have all lost on the battlefield against the Qing army, so that the peasant army has gradually become stronger, and Li Zicheng finally attacked the capital.

Wen Tiren looked at the sides again before saying to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, haven't you forgotten that the east side didn't send you a letter?" Maybe we can unite with them! ”

"Shhh Chongzhen stood up when he heard this, glared at Wen Tiren in surprise and said, "You mean...?" ”

Wen Tiren nodded incomprehensibly.

Chongzhen understood who Wen Tiren was referring to, and his walking back and forth in the hall showed how fierce the struggle of thoughts in his heart was.

After a long time, he stopped and looked up at the top of the main hall, and then looked at Wen Tiren and said, "Wen Aiqing, do you think it is feasible?" ”

Wen Tiren smiled and said, "The threat of the starting point city is close at hand, and the enemy of the enemy can also be a friend." ”
