"Do you think it's possible?"

Li Zicheng said with a smile.

"I think it's possible, now Your Majesty is of no use to you, even if Your Majesty doesn't die, what can you do with Your Majesty? Do you give up being the emperor and then re-enthrone His Majesty as Cao Cao?

In that case, I have nothing to say.

If you continue to respect Your Majesty, then I will continue to be my Jinyi Guard.

If you want to be the emperor yourself, then even if you lock up Your Majesty in Beijing, Nanjing is nothing more than to support a new monarch, where all kinds of yamen are complete, the kings of the clan are, Nanjing Six Shangshu, Nanjing Metropolitan Inspectorate Imperial History, Nanjing Five Military Governors, Fengyang, Nanjing's two garrison eunuchs, these people get together to see which clan king meets his wishes and set him up as the new monarch, this is not a big deal, and you and the Ming Dynasty are each other's enemies.

Then Da Ming will fight you with Jiannu.

This is still the case of Your Majesty not dying, if Your Majesty is forced to die by you, then Wu Sangui, Wang Yongji and Song Quan will not be able to surrender to you, even if they surrender to Jiannu, they will not surrender to you, the enemy's father!

Anyway, they are still ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

Surrender Jiannu led Dolgon into the customs, they can say that they borrowed foreign soldiers to avenge His Majesty, as the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, they have no loss in the ministers' festival, but it is different to surrender to you, and even not only them, all the ministers who surrender to you in the future will bear the original sin, do you understand the original sin? The sin in their bones, the sin that has flowed in their blood for generations, as long as they still have even the slightest minimum discipline, they will not surrender to you, before this is okay, not after this, and then they can surrender to Jiannu happily.

Surrender to Jiannu without bearing the original sin.

I, Mingchen, have someone who can avenge the Lord, that is, my lord! ”

Yang Qing said.

The last thing was said by Song Quan when he descended to the Qing Dynasty.

Li Zicheng looked at him deeply.

"You see, it's not only useless for you to keep Your Majesty, but it will also cause you trouble, it's not the same to let your Majesty go, first of all, you don't have to worry about the fierce resistance of the Northern Ming Ministers, and even lead Dolgon into the customs, Song Quan will be ordered, Wang Yongji will be ordered, Li Yutian will be ordered, this is as a reward for you to release Your Majesty, they are not surrendering, and in order to thank you for not harming Your Majesty, Wu Sangui will also be ordered, after all, his family is in your hands, as long as they don't surrender Dolgon, You will be able to take over the Shanhaiguan Pass and the Great Wall, and wait for Dorgon's army to come to your door and defeat him with the fortified city. ”

Yang Qing then said.

"Then why did I let you go, isn't it the same to leave you here?"

Li Zicheng suddenly said with a smile.

"Well, it's different."

Yang Qing said.

"They can bring Dorgon to the rescue.

You have to understand first that they don't really like you, at least between you and Dorgon, they still like Dolgon more, you have to understand that you are always the lord of the poor, will you continue to allow them to rip the bones of the people? Will you allow them to annex the land to the point of turning the people into slaves? Will you allow the gentry to refuse to pay for food by all means in the future? You don't even collect taxes now, your army still depends on fighting local tyrants to raid their homes, and you even say that you want to divide their fields, do you think they will like you?

But Dorgon was different.

Dorgon would give them whatever they wanted, and then work with them to oppress the people.

Of course, you can do that too.

But you can't do this, because your subordinates are all under the banner of free grain in Juntian, and the people support you because you give them hope, because the king of Chuang comes and doesn't pay for food, and if you are in the same league with the gentry, they will not hesitate to abandon you just as you rebelled against your majesty back then.

If you don't believe me, go back and ask those old brothers of yours.

You can't do Dolgon.

They can't like you either, and they will do everything possible to find reasons to surrender, which is determined by the nature of both sides, so if you keep your Majesty here, then they will say that you threaten Your Majesty, and then lie to them, and if Dolgon can give them enough promise, they will immediately fall to Dolgon, open the gate under the banner of borrowing troops to suppress the king of Kouqin, and come to Beijing with Dolgon.

There is also a point you need to understand.

Their loyalty to His Majesty is only based on what His Majesty can give them, and if His Majesty has no value, or if it is contrary to their interests, they will abandon His Majesty as well, as long as this abandonment can be tactful, so as not to give them any notoriety, which is very important to them.

For example, what can you do if they come to the city?

Threaten them with His Majesty?

They will step aside, they will say that they dare not put Your Majesty in danger, see how loyal they are, and then they will let Dolgon's army attack, and Dolgon is not their men, so they naturally can't take care of it, and they don't really care about Your Majesty's life, and then if you kill Your Majesty in a fit of rage, they will be happy, because they can come to avenge Your Majesty, and you let Your Majesty order them to attack Dolgon, and they will say that this is a chaotic life that Your Majesty was forced under your threat, and they don't need to listen, Even if the cabinet often seals the holy decree in peacetime, let alone in times of war?

Or I'll put it a little simpler for you.

The three families of Ming and Shunqing, they naturally have the deepest feelings for the Ming Dynasty, but when the Ming can't choose, and there are only two choices left in the Shunqing Dynasty, they will never choose you, and they would rather surrender to Dolgon when they have no choice.

What we have to do is not to give them a reason to surrender to Dolgon, Your Majesty dies here, they will say that I am a Ming minister, an avenger for Emperor Ming, that is, my lord, and then they can surrender to Dolgon with confidence. Your Majesty will not die and stay here, they will say that you imprisoned Your Majesty and forced the concubine lord, as Ming ministers, they had to borrow troops to suppress the Emperor, and then they still surrendered to King Dolgon Laiqin with confidence, and this kind of thing is not unprecedented.

It was only when His Majesty was sent out of the country that they could not find any reason to surrender to Dolgon.

It would be safer if there was a holy decree.

If this is your Majesty's will, then their surrender is treason, they have no justice to surrender, and if Your Majesty really does not allow them to surrender to Dolgon, then for those whose families are in the area controlled by the imperial court and in the area controlled by Your Majesty, they need to be careful, because Your Majesty will raid their house when he goes to Nanjing, and you will also raid their home in the north. ”

Yang Qing said.

"Taizu expelled the Tartars and restored China, so there were three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, although I am not good, I will not be able to make China fall into the hands of the Tartars again, otherwise there will be no shame on Taizu."

Chongzhen said slowly on the side.

"You see, Your Majesty has made it very clear."

Yang Qing said.

"You don't believe I can beat the Jurchen?"

Li Zicheng said.

"Yes, only the elite of the old battalion can compete with it, but it is still a little worse, how many elite of the old battalion do you have? Dolgon led 80,000 men to the south, even if Wu Sangui's Guanning army is added, I can only think that you can rely on the fortress there to hold on to Shanhaiguan, and you will still lose the field battle, if Wu Sangui falls to Dolgon, then you can say that there is no hope. ”

Yang Qing said frankly.

"As for your numerical superiority, that one that is meaningless, will collapse in the face of you, and will collapse faster in the face of Jiannu, in fact, if Wu Sangui and others surrender to Jiannu, then when facing Jiannu, I can guarantee that the vast majority of the generals of the official army will immediately turn against you and stab you in the back.

After all, you've said you're going to equalize their fields.

They don't care about the rest, but whoever wants to equalize their fields is their enemy.

Whoever can guarantee their interests is their master, regardless of whether the other party is of different races or not. ”

He added.

In other words, he did his best, just a Qing army has gone south, which is already a golden finger for Li Zicheng, originally he didn't know this in history, in fact, Dolgon didn't really leave Shenyang at this time just to prepare to send troops, and the goal was to go south from Liaoxi through the Rehe Mountains, and it was after getting the news that Li Zicheng had broken through Beijing before turning to Shanhaiguan.

Li Zicheng sat there silently.

"Also, if you really want to let us go, then you'd better release it tomorrow!"

Yang Qing said.

"Why?"

Li Zicheng said.

"If Your Majesty returns to the south, how will the princes of Beijing see people? Similarly, what about their relatives in Jiangnan? Sometimes, you can't overestimate their lower limit, they have already betrayed the Lord, so why not break the jar? Anyway, the final black pot is still up to you! ”

Yang Qing said with a smile.

"You have a lot of thoughts!"

Li Zicheng said.

"It's nothing, it's just a lot of things to see!"

Yang Qing said with some vicissitudes.

He did see more things, starting from the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, for more than three hundred years, the princes of Gon Gon kept refreshing their lower limit again and again, to say that in this case, which dog jumped over the wall of the former Ming Dynasty pillars, in order to avoid Chongzhen from going to Jiangnan and then liquidating his family, a thief and kill him halfway, this Yang Qing will never be surprised, anyway, there is Li Zicheng in the end.

So it has to be fast.

It's so fast that these guys don't have time to react.

It is estimated that Li Zicheng also understands that Zhu Chunchen can sell Chongzhen to him, so why can't others kill Chongzhen? There is more than one emperor who died in vain, and it used to take a lot of trouble to make it clean, but now as long as Chongzhen dies on the way to flee south, then the princes of Gon will immediately buckle the basin on Li Zicheng's head.

Li Zicheng looked at them deeply, Yang Qing looked at him with an innocent smile, Chongzhen continued to maintain the expressionless face of an emperor, and the air in the room seemed to freeze......

Suddenly, Li Zicheng smiled.

"Your Majesty, please Emperor Extreme Palace!"

He stood up and said.

"Imperial Palace? Shouldn't it be the Gate of Heaven? ”

Chongzhen said with a weird smile on his face.

"As you wish."

Li Zicheng also said with a weird smile.
