In Chang'an, after Li Zicheng returned to Guanzhong, life was not easy.

First, the Dashun Army lacked experience in governing the localities, coupled with Li Zicheng's veteran battalion soldiers and family members, who were not involved in production, and hundreds of thousands of people caused a heavy burden to the Guanzhong region.

Li Zicheng was forced to levy heavy taxes in Guanzhong, which made the people of Guanzhong, who had originally welcomed the Shun army, disappointed with the Dashun regime and no longer trusted the Dashun Dynasty.

It turned out that King Chuang came not because he didn't pay for food, but just a joke. Li Zicheng not only did not want food, but also ate them and wore them, which made the resentment of the people in Guanzhong boil, and the internal forces of Guanzhong began to carry out activities in all directions, making Dashun's rule in Guanzhong show an unstable situation.

Externally, the Qing army broke through the Great Wall and entered northern Shaanxi, exposing the Dashun army to a serious military threat.

In addition, after Zhang Xianzhong occupied Sichuan, he wanted to go north to seize Hanzhong, although the forward of the Western Army was driven back to Sichuan by the Shun general He Zhen, but it also made the south of the Dashun army no longer safe.

The current Dashun Dynasty can be said to be internal and external troubles, and various crises have appeared together.

In this case, Li Zicheng's whole person also became irritable and murderous.

At this time, there were too many worries for him to worry about, and the only thing that made Li Zicheng happy was that Wei Hou Gao Yihuan, who had his seal in southern Henan, contained the Qing army in Luoyang, so that his eastern front was not threatened for the time being.

In July, the scouts reported that Wu Sangui of Yulin was gathering troops, the Guanning army was frequently going south to collect food, and a small force of cavalry had appeared near Yan'an.

The Qing army on the north route may be attacking south again in the near future, and the Qing army on the Henan side is also transporting a large amount of military rations to Luoyang, which should be preparing to approach Tongguan.

Since its establishment, Li hoped that Gao Yihuan would go north again and hold back the Qing army in Luoyang, while he personally led his men to resist Wu Sangui and defuse the Qing army's offensive again.

It's just that Li Zicheng didn't expect that when he asked Niu Jinxing to make an order, he heard the news that Gao Yihuan had defected to the Ming Dynasty.

Niu Jinxing saw Li Zicheng angry, and couldn't help but feel a panic in his heart, he had praised Gao Yihuan many times in front of Li Zicheng, and now Gao Yihuan surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, isn't he a pit for me?

Sure enough, Li Zicheng lifted the table, and after losing his temper, he suddenly stared at Niu Jinxing with a pair of red eyes.

Niu Jinxing's heart froze, and he unconsciously took a step back, secretly saying that it was not good in his heart.

"Didn't you say that Gao Yihuan is of great use, and you want me to reward him well?" Li Zicheng said hatefully.

Niu Jinxing's face was full of bitterness, "Your Majesty, Gao Yihuan wants to surrender, the minister really doesn't know at all, and it has nothing to do with the minister!" ”

"You don't push the blame away." Li Zicheng was furious, "Aren't you and Gao Yihuan a township party?" What he sends you every year, don't think I don't know! ”

Niu Jinxing was so shocked that he knelt on the ground, sweating on his forehead, "Your Majesty, you are wronged!" Gao Yihuan is from Chen Liu, and the minister is from Baofeng, and he can't beat with eight poles! ”

Li Zicheng heard him cry out for injustice, his heart became even more irritable, and suddenly he roared: "Enough!" I don't want to hear that. I want to know, what do I do now? ”

The strength of the Dashun army was about the same as Wu Sangui's Guanning army, which barely resisted the Qing army's attack in northern Shaanxi.

Now without Gao Yihuan's containment, the Qing army in Luoyang can approach Tongguan, and the Shun army will have to face the attack of two people, plus there is a Zhang Xianzhong to defend in the south, and Li Zicheng's Dashun regime is already crumbling.

Niu Jinxing didn't have anything to do about it, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, at the moment, the only way to resist the Qing army in Luoyang is to rely on Tongguan, and then repel Wu Sangui in northern Shaanxi first!" ”

Li Zicheng's face was gloomy, if he could drive Wu Sangui away, he would have driven Wu Sangui away when Gao Yihuan dragged Duoduo away.

Wu Sangui was not driven away last time, and this time the Qing army has accumulated more strength to make a comeback, and it will be more difficult to drive out the Qing army on the northern road. Niu Jinxing said this, which made Li Zicheng annoyed.

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng couldn't help but complain about Gao Yihuan again, "I promoted Gao Yihuan from a small lieutenant to a festival envoy, plus Wei Hou, why did he betray me?" ”

Niu Jinxing sighed in his heart, it's not that you are too stingy, you almost didn't give Gao Yihuan any benefits, but instead slandered Gao Yihuan a lot of things.

Gao Yihuan's territory was all fought down by himself, and the food and military salaries were also raised by himself, and he never counted on the Dashun court, so his loyalty was naturally not high.

Do you really think that you are a true son of destiny, and you can make people loyal by giving a false name at will?

Such a capable person has to stay for a prince, but Dashun is not even willing to give it a false name.

If Gao Yihuan is crowned a king, the Ming Dynasty will dare to accept him?

For a while, Niu Jinxing's heart was mixed, and he began to worry about his future.

In the city of Beijing, when Li Zicheng was angry with Gao Yihuan's rebellion, Dolgon was gathering the generals to discuss the attack on Guanzhong.

At this time, in the regent's mansion, the three brothers Dolgon, Dordor, and Azig gathered together.

"King Ying, you still take the two yellow flags, make a detour to northern Shaanxi, join Wu Sangui, and then attack Yan'an. This time, there are fifteen brothers who attack Tongguan and contain the thieves and soldiers, you must urge Wu Sangui to take Yan'an. Dorgon commanded.

Azig nodded, and said quite confidently, "I almost captured it last time, but without the cooperation of the people and horses of the South Road, we can only retreat to Yulin." This time the army rested for many days, and the king must take Yan'an, and then drive directly to Xi'an. ”

Dolgon was not worried about the soldiers and horses in the north, he was still more worried that there would be problems with Dordo on the south road.

Seeing Dolgon looking at him, Duoduo gritted his teeth and said, "Fourteenth brother, don't worry, this time I have made all preparations to ensure that I will break through the Tong Pass and attack the pass." ”

Dol rolled a glance at his younger brother, and didn't say much about him, but said in a deep voice: "This time to attack Guanzhong, this king doesn't want any more problems. ”

Not long ago, Mongolia, the foreign feudal tribes, because they did not get much benefit, but many people died, and they were already full of complaints about the Qing Dynasty.

The Manchu and Mongol tribes were originally united because of their interests, and their original goal was to rob the Ming Dynasty together.

Now most of the northern territory of the Ming Dynasty has become the territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and naturally the Mongols are not allowed to plunder, and the Mongols can only rely on the Manchu gift if they want to get benefits, or they can only rely on the Manchu Qing Dynasty to give it, or follow the Manchu Qing Dynasty to capture it during the war.

It's just that after entering the customs, the land occupied by the Manchu Qing Dynasty was very dilapidated, and it could only barely cover the expenses of the Eight Banners, and it was impossible to meet the needs of the foreign domains, and in the war, the Qing army did not make progress, which made the foreign feudal departments very dissatisfied.

Because there was no share of benefits, the alliance between the Qing army and Monan Mongolia was loosened, and Mobei Mongolia saw the great changes in the Central Plains, and it was also ready to move.

In order to maintain the alliance of this bandit interest group, Dolroll was eager to destroy Li Zicheng, and after solving the enemy in the north, he took advantage of the situation to go south to rob the south of money, food and materials to maintain this alliance.
