On June 16, Li Xiuwen officially proclaimed himself emperor in Kaifeng, named the country as "Daliang", and named the year Dashun, changed the capital city of Kaifeng to Bianliang, and posthumously crowned his father Li Hongshen as Emperor Taizu.

On this day, Li Xiuwen was crowned a meritorious hero, and the fifth-class lord was set up as the prince and uncle, and the Song Dynasty was appointed as the national teacher, and Li Yan and Niu Jinxing were the prime ministers.

Cizhou City won a great victory, Sun Chuanting was the first to remember, and was named a hereditary marquis, in addition, those who won this reward were Yang Zhen and Li Dong, in addition, Zhang Yunying's father Zhang Shiheng was also posthumously named a marquis. He Renlong fought bravely, made many meritorious achievements, and was specially awarded the hereditary earl, and the rest of the meritorious people were rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and there were more than 20 knights.

Everyone understands in their hearts that this is just a small reward, once the Northern Expedition is successful and the Ming Dynasty is overthrown, it is indispensable to add officials to the knighthood.

The document on the crusade against Zhu Youzhen was also issued at the same time on the same day, listing his three major crimes; respectively appoint traitors, so that loyal ministers and good generals will die in vain; expropriation and expropriation, causing the people to live in misery and misery; The ruling was so deaf that it could not effectively resist the Tartars, causing the subjects of the world to suffer from war.

Subsequently, the three-way army was launched. Sun Chuanting led a group of men and horses to Shanxi, Hong Chengchou led a group of men and horses to march into the Daimyo's Mansion, and Li Xiuwen led the Chinese army, sending a total of 150,000 troops to the Northern Expedition to Beijing.

As soon as the news came out, Zhang Xianzhong and other leaders of the rebel army responded one after another, without him, Li Xiuwen's Great Liang State gave them a name, as long as there were some powerful leaders, and they reached an agreement with themselves, they were all crowned kings.

Li Xiuwen didn't care about this, but he just gave these people a name, and the actual benefit was not at all. It's just that this is enough, people have been playing with flags and rebellion for so many years, don't they just want to become a prince?

The Ming court didn't give it to you, I'll give it!

Li Xiuwen is now strong, and there is no problem in doing so. You must know that today's rebel forces on all sides, due to long-term mobile warfare, do not even have a base area, and the total number of people may not be as large as his troops.

The army went all the way north, invincible, and everywhere it went, all the prefectures and counties heard the news and surrendered.

By the time the three-way army met Zhuojun, the number was close to 300,000, and it was also at this time that Li Xiuwen

300,000 horses marched into the Beijing division and surrounded the North 1 capital into a lonely city, as for King Qin's army, although there were not many, there were still some of them. It's just that Li Xiuwen's speed of marching was too fast, and he marched and surrendered all the way, and he couldn't fight a few tough battles at all, and King Qin's army was on the road at the moment.

Li Xiuwen's move shook the world, and the rebellious rebel armies from all walks of life have been tossing for so many years, but they are just small fights in the local area, and no one has invaded the capital division at all.

The princes in the court panicked, 300,000 troops besieged the city, how long can this capital hold on?

Many people are already wondering in their hearts whether to be the first to stand up and surrender and support a new monarch once the city is broken.

Zhu Youzhen once thought about transferring the army of Shanhaiguan to help, but as soon as this matter was raised, it immediately attracted the opposition of the Manchu ministers.

Why?

The land of the ancestors should not be abandoned!

Once the border army comes back to help, what will happen to the defense line over there? Just gave it to Jianyu? This is a great crime of betraying the country, how can the territory that our ancestors have beaten down be given away?

Who dares to speak out in support and be a traitor who has been stinking for thousands of years?

Li Xiuwen's Northern Expedition to Beijing, the happiest should be Zhang Xianzhong. After Yang Sichang learned the news, he immediately withdrew his troops and returned to the capital to help, his pressure was suddenly reduced a lot, and his arrogance became more arrogant than before.

Without Yang Sichang's containment, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai and other people plundered in Shuzhong, captured various prefectures and counties, and soon captured Chengdu, following Li Xiuwen's example and rewarding his subordinates.

In fact, not long after entering Bashu, Yang Sichang fell ill.

After all, he is an old man, and with a long-term march, he will naturally not be able to hold on to the water and soil. However, he still dragged his sick body back to the capital.

This time he returned to the division to go to the south of He1, in his opinion, Li Xiuwen transferred so many troops, the rear must be extremely empty, unable to defend the city.

As long as Li Xiuwen's family is caught, are you still afraid that you won't be able to relieve the siege of the capital?

Sadly, he was wrong.

Li Xiuwen's rear is empty, but it is not a problem to hold on to the city. Just the little people in Yang Sichang's hands still want to attack the city?

Yang Sichang tried to attack several cities but failed, so he had to make a detour north and enter King Jingqin.

"Boom-"

With the sound of artillery, Li Xiuwen's third siege battle began.

What Li Xiuwen didn't expect was that the walls of the capital were quite strong, and the three battalions of the Beijing Division were not all waste. But he is not in a hurry, after all, this is the capital, the center of the Ming Dynasty, how can it be so easy to fight?

The 300,000 army is not a small number, and there is no way to arrange a siege at the same time, but to take turns to attack the nine gates of the capital division and attack the city in an all-round way.

This time, with generals like Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou, it was not Li Xiuwen's turn to worry about the battle ahead. He basically sat in the rear to watch the battle, and kept an eye on the Qinwang army coming from all sides.

In fact, there are not many troops in the Ming Dynasty today, even if there are reinforcements, they will definitely not be able to make up 50,000 numbers, and the combat power is definitely not there.

In today's capital, there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses in the capital who defend the city.

In addition to attacking the city by force, Li Xiuwen also used the means of internal disintegration.

Before the explosion of the Anmin factory, most of the money for the pension was paid by him, and I didn't know much about it.

So, under his orders, Hawkeye's spies who stayed in the capital were dispatched.

These people spread the news everywhere and poked this matter out, and the people in the capital realized that the current saints didn't care much about their lives and deaths, and they were not even willing to give out more than the silver for the bereavement.

As soon as the news spread, Zhu Youzhen also panicked.

This is really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, Li Xiuwen's hand is really good, and it actually messes with the hearts of my subjects!

For a time, the factory guards came out in all directions, arresting rumors everywhere, and it made people panic all over the capital.

Hawkeye's spies aren't stupid, how can they be so easy for you to catch?

The Hawkeye people didn't catch a few, but they caught a lot of ordinary people.

In this way, it is even more unpopular. More and more people are falling to Li Xiuwen's side, but it's not yet time, and no one dares to openly stand up and rebel against the court.

The day's battle stopped, and Li Xiuwen still failed to break through the capital. And at this time, two guests came over.

These two guests sneaked out of the capital. (To be continued.) )
