Outside the Guan, Shenyang City, the residence of the regent.

At the end of last year, Huang Taiji died suddenly and did not leave a will before his death, which made a fierce political struggle within the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

However, because of the steadiness of Daishan and Zilharang, coupled with Haoge's weak compromise, there was no internal strife within the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the two sides finally reached a compromise.

At this time, Fu Lin, who was only six years old, inherited the lord of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, called the Qing Emperor, and changed his name to Shunzhi.

However, the power of the Manchus was in the hands of Zilharang and Dolgon, and Haoge, the eldest son of Huang Taiji, did not get anything.

In this political struggle, Hauge's supporter Zilharang won the position of first auxiliary minister, and Dolgon served as the second auxiliary minister, ostensibly because the Hauges still had a slight advantage, but in fact Hauge had completely lost.

It has to be said here that Dorgon is indeed cunning, and he agrees with Zilharan to be the first auxiliary minister, rather than letting Hauge do it, which fully shows his political wisdom.

If Hauge served as an auxiliary minister, he might be able to continue the fight with Dolgon, and he could gather his supporters around him, but if Zilharang was in charge, the hearts of the two yellow flags would be scattered.

Although Zilharang served as the first adjutantant, he was not Hauge and could not unite the forces left by Huang Taiji to Hauge, so he could not compete with Dorgon.

In this way, in just a few months, Dorgon went from not having the upper hand to holding the vast majority of the Manchu power.

At this time, in the mansion of King Ruiqing, several merchants who had fled from Zhangjiakou knelt on the ground and reported the situation in the customs to Dolgon.

These businessmen, who dared to flee to the outside of the pass in a hurry before the Shun army conquered Zhangjiakou, are now all bare-headed, dragging a pigtail behind their heads, taking the initiative to shave their hair, and changing into Manchu clothes.

There was no way, Dashun and Daming wanted to destroy them, and they couldn't go back to Guannei, so they simply ran to Liaodong to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

"Regent! Li Zicheng marched from the eastern part of the Guandong in the first month, and occupied most of the east of the river in February, and most of the silver that the regent gave to the minions for food fell into the hands of the thieves. ”

It was Fan Yongdou who spoke, and he had something to do with the flow of materials inside the customs to outside the customs in Zhangjiakou, otherwise it would have to be in the hands of Li Zicheng this time.

Dolgon listened to Fan Yongdou's words, and his eyes were a little gloomy, "Aren't the eyeliner of your Jin merchants all over the five northern provinces?" Why don't you even know that the thieves are going to move? ”

After Dolgon served as an auxiliary minister, in order to quickly establish his prestige, he allocated a batch of silver to the Jin merchants, hoping to get some supplies through them and alleviate the lack of materials outside the customs.

Now that the materials have not been obtained, the silver is gone, which makes Dolgon very faceless, and also causes the dissatisfaction of the Manchurian nobles.

Fan Yongdou hurriedly kowtowed and cried: "Back to the regent, when the minions were at the beginning of the year, they did receive a little rumor, but it was news from the Ming Dynasty, and no one thought that the thieves would suddenly make a move."

Fan Yongdou actually hid something from Dolgon, and did not mention his son.

At that time, Gao Yihuan came to the door, and he was vigilant in his heart and transferred some of the materials to Zhangjiakou.

However, he was afraid that it would affect the redemption of Fan Sanba, so he did not make a noise and did not inform others.

It's just that he didn't want Gao Yihuan, he didn't talk about morality, he didn't have any integrity at all, and he actually told Mingshun and the two parties about the Fan family's clearing.

Until now, he still hasn't understood, there is no injustice or hatred, and the silver has also been given, Gao Yihuan is a rogue, why do you want to do this.

In December, Gao Yihuan leaked the news to Ma Shiying, and told Li Zicheng in the first month.

After Ma Shiying's recital went up, the Jin merchants had already received the rumors, but in the Ming Dynasty, there was a process of this kind of thing, and the Jin merchants were not too anxious to transfer them all.

They had a relationship in the court, thinking that they could deal with it calmly, but they didn't expect that in less than half a month, Li Zicheng hit Shanxi and copied them.

Now that it had become so, Dolgon, though angry, could not get the money back.

At this time, he suddenly asked with a gloomy face, "Where is Li Zicheng hitting now?" ”

"Back to the regent, the thieves are like a bamboo, and now I'm afraid they have already hit Beijing!" Fan Yongdou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Dolgon didn't pursue it, and hurriedly kowtowed.

If the thieves actually hit Beijing, the situation in the border will change dramatically.

If Li Zicheng is allowed to destroy the Ming Dynasty and digest the power of the Ming Dynasty, then Guannai will become a monolith, and the enemy faced by the Qing army will not be the decadent Ming Dynasty, but a dynasty full of vitality.

This was obviously unfavorable to the Manchus.

As soon as Dol Roll got the position of regent, he was faced with such a challenge, and his heart suddenly became a little excited.

Dolgon's brows jumped, and he immediately spoke: "Go, give this king Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou Jialai!"

……

Historically, Li Zicheng led his troops across Changping and arrived at the Shahe River on March 16.

On the 17th, he entered Gaobeidian and Xizhimen, bombarded the city with cannons, and attacked Pingzemen, Changyi Gate, and Xizhimen at noon. 、

On the night of the same day, some defenders opened the Guangning Gate of the outer city, and the army entered the outer Guocheng of Beijing.

Two days later, that is, in the early morning of March 19, Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the military department, took the initiative to open the Zhengyang Gate to welcome Liu Zongmin's people into the city.

On the same day, Chongzhen took the eunuch Wang Chengen to the coal mountain to lookout, and returned to the Qianqing Palace, the ministers have fled, and finally Chongzhen went to Jingshan to hang himself, known as the Jiashen Change.

That is to say, Li Zicheng's troops came to Beijing and broke the city of Beijing, only a few days.

A regime cannot defend itself against the enemy externally, and even suffers defeats, making the people groan under the iron hooves of Hu Lu, and cannot reassure the people internally, but instead increases the burden on the people and makes it impossible for the people to survive.

The people have spent more than ten years in disappointment again and again, and by this time, there are not many people in the north who are nostalgic for the Ming Dynasty.

At night, in Kunning Palace, Queen Zhou welcomed Chongzhen into the palace and set a simple meal.

Four dishes and one soup, not like the house of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, have the thieves already attacked the city?" Zhou Hou was not very old, and she tried to calm herself, but her slightly trembling lips still betrayed her.

When the soldiers approached the city, Chongzhen began to regret it in his heart, and he took the initiative to give Wu Sangui an order, wanting to rely on Wu Sangui's army to resist Li Zicheng, at least to send the prince out.

So far, he can die, but the Ming dynasty can't be finished!

Historically, Chongzhen also decided to send the prince to the end, but it was too late.

Now the same is true, the order was passed out, but there was no movement at Shanhaiguan, but the thieves had already invaded the outer city.

Chongzhen nodded, Queen Zhou's eyes were immediately full of tears, Chongzhen still hardened her heart: "Queen, you are the mother of a country, now the general trend has gone, you must not be humiliated!" ”

Empress Zhou understood what Chongzhen meant, she glanced at Chongzhen deeply, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, we also have a home in Nanjing!" Then he put away his tears and walked to the apse.

Chongzhen sat down on the chair mountain, and suddenly a series of tears rolled down his cheeks.

But after a while, he stopped his tears again, and he had to make arrangements for the future, "Go, call the prince and them." ”

At this moment, a eunuch led a civil official to Cining Palace, and he didn't care about etiquette, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Governor Gao, please Your Majesty to tour the south!" Your Majesty~"
