After Li Zicheng entered the city of Beijing, he immediately dispersed his troops and seized the place, because Li Yan advanced too quickly, and not only took Shandong, but also went out to Tianjin. As for the secret edict intercepted by his people that Chongzhen made Li Yan the Duke of Liang Guogong, he didn't care at all. Regardless of whether there is a reward from Chongzhen or not, he and Li Yan will have a fight.

The second thing is to quickly stabilize the city of Beijing, and then officially ascend the throne in Beijing, announcing the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the official takeover of power by the Dashun Dynasty. In the past, when he ascended the throne in Xi'an, he was playing around behind closed doors, but this time he ascended the throne in Beijing for the whole world to see.

This is Li Zicheng's business, but Liu Zongmin and others have their own affairs. The first is to receive the wealth of the lords, and the second is to roast and plunder the money. In fact, the grain stored in Beijing was enough for them to eat for two months, and the purpose of their roasting and looting was not just to get money, but more of a kind of revenge.

It was these officials who formulated policies that constantly levy more money and grain on the peasants. It is also these people who are greedy for the relief money and food of the Mexican court, so that their families have suffered enough from freezing and starvation, and even separated from heaven and man forever. It is still these people who withheld the food and salary given to them by the imperial court, let them sell their sons and daughters, and suffered a lot. Now that he has finally entered the city of Beijing, how can he easily let go of those high-ranking officials

Liu Zongmin directly lived in the house of Tian Guifei's father Tian Hongyu, Li Guo lived in the house of Empress Zhou's father Zhou Kui, Yuan Zongdi lived in the house of Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, and other generals also lived in the family of Xun Qi. And the female slaves of these families naturally became their slaves.

Even Liu Fangliang and other generals of the southern front returned to Beijing and handed over the front line to his middle-level officers. Therefore, even if Li Yan did not leave many troops in Dezhou, Cangzhou and other places, Li Zicheng's subordinates chose to listen to his attitude because they did not have instructions.

Fortunately, Liu Zongmin and other generals all attacked the officials and did not affect the lives of ordinary people. Moreover, at this time, there was still a lot of money in the army, and they were willing to pay for buying and selling things, so they won the favor of the people.

A few days later, Li Zicheng finally discovered the problem and immediately ordered Liu Zongmin and others to stop immediately, and they could no longer rob the officials. As for Xun Qi, he didn't care much, they were all parasites of the Ming Dynasty, and they lived or died at will. And those officials, he also plans to screen and appoint.

Li Zicheng naturally knew that an order would not have much effect, so he sent Li Laiheng to patrol the city with his pro-army to prevent the officers from further persecuting the officials. It was this move that allowed Wu Xiang and Chen Yuanyuan to survive the catastrophe.

"Come on" Liu Zongmin yelled at Li Laiheng: "You dare to stop me even if you even want to stop me"

At this time, Liu Zongmin was leading dozens of personal soldiers in front of Wu Xiang's mansion, and Chen Yuanyuan had already been arrested, and Wu Xiang was blocking him at the door.

Li Laiheng clenched his fists: "Master, this is an order given by the emperor, and you can only follow it." ”

"Hehe, you kid has a lot of skills" Liu Zongmin sneered, looking at Li Laiheng, who was not very tall.

After that, he waved his hand and instructed his soldiers: "Send Chen Huakui to me." ”

"Ruhou, this is my son Sangui's concubine, please give me some dignity for the Wu family. If you want a woman with outstanding colors, I will look for you again. Wu Xiang pleaded loudly. Not to mention that Wu Sangui really likes this concubine, even if he doesn't want to see him, but the reputation is here, and he can't let others rob him.

Hearing what Wu Xiang said about Sangui, Li Laiheng remembered that Li Zicheng had mentioned this person before, and it seemed to be the most important. So he immediately shouted: "Whoever dares to move, the bow and crossbow are waiting"

Those Li Zicheng's pro-troops opened their crossbows one after another, put crossbow arrows, and aimed them at Liu Zongmin and others. These pro-soldiers were all trained according to Shi Jincai's advice, and their equipment was the same as Li Yan's troops, sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, and crossbowmen. In addition, it is equipped with some artillery, but it is a small-caliber Frankie, which is light and convenient for following the troops.

Liu Zongmin's personal soldiers didn't dare to move, but Liu Zongmin didn't care. He stepped forward in person, and he was going to carry Chen Yuanyuan to the horse himself. He knew that Li Zicheng was not ready to deal with him, so Li Laiheng did not dare to order the arrows to be released.

Li Laiheng really didn't dare to give an order. Liu Zongmin's status in the team is second only to Li Zicheng, and most of the team has something to do with him, even Li Zicheng does not dare to lose face easily. He stepped forward helplessly, knelt down in front of Liu Zongmin, and pleaded: "Master, if you have to do this, just kill it." After that, he whispered: "This Wu family, you can't move." ”

Liu Zongmin kicked Li Laiheng away, and said scoldingly: "You little rabbit cub, if you dare to come to this set, if it weren't for Zicheng and your father's face, I would have screwed your head off a long time ago."

He traveled to various places, and he saw more beautiful women. It's just that this Chen Yuanyuan is not only exquisite, but also able to sing and dance, and it is said that he is still an Oiran on the Qinhuai River, and he can earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year. Such a goblin, he really wanted to taste it.

"Zong Min" After a sound of horses' hooves, Li Zicheng's voice came majestically.

Liu Zongmin turned his head and saw Li Zicheng riding on a horse, staring at him with one eye. He hesitated for a moment, but still put down Chen Yuanyuan on his shoulder. That Chen Yuanyuan was resolute, he didn't cry or make trouble, he stood quietly in place, looking at these people coldly.

Li Zicheng glanced at the woman who made the entire Wu Mansion shine brightly, and he also swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily. After that, he said to Liu Zongmin: "Don't mess around, there is still business, let's go back to the palace and talk about it." ”

And Wu Xiang beckoned his family members to kneel down and bow loudly: "Villain Wu Xiang, meet His Majesty the Emperor." Long live my emperor, long live, long live"

Li Zicheng instructed: "Get up." I am not strict, and I have frightened you. In the future, I will send someone to guard it in case this happens. When Wu Sangui comes to the capital, I will reward your father and son for their merits. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty Longen"

Liu Zongmin didn't want to make Li Zicheng look bad on the street, after all, they were a combination of honor and disgrace. And although they occupy the city of Beijing, there is still a Li Yan in the south, and it is far from the time to sit back and relax, and internal unity must be maintained.

When he returned to the Qianqing Palace, Li Zicheng said dissatisfiedly: "Wu Sangui has arrived in Yongping and has agreed to surrender. You rob his concubine at this time, let him think"

"He likes to think and think" Liu Zongmin said unceremoniously: "There is a kind of him who doesn't want to surrender, I will take someone to level him"

Liu Zongmin completely looked down on the officials and troops of the Ming Dynasty, even if it was Wu Sangui's department guarding outside the pass, he didn't pay attention to it. Isn't it just the border army, there are more border troops in their ranks, what's the big deal

Li Zicheng explained: "The opinion of the Song military division is to drive the wolf and devour the tiger, and let this Wu Sangui lead the troops to attack Li Yan. It's not easy for our old brothers, and since they have already laid down the Jingshi, they don't have to take that risk. You pick some women from the palace first, then Chen Yuanyuan will be in the capital, and when the world is peaceful, she will naturally be yours. ”

Liu Zongmin said casually: "I'm not rare to other women. Since Wu Sangui is going to deal with Li Yan, then give him a face. But it's okay to say, then Chen Yuanyuan is mine. ”

Li Zicheng frowned and said, "No one is robbing you." You should be restrained, or you will deal with Li Yan. ”
