The rapid capture of Beijing is also very beneficial to Zheng Sen, and even simply eliminating Li Zicheng in this battle is also a good thing for Zheng Sen. In short, it is very beneficial for him to quell the domestic war as soon as possible. So Zheng Sen quickly agreed with Jiang Hao to accept Jiang Jiu's anyway.

"Da Mu, Jiang Jiu is not a good thing." Jiang Jiu's envoy had just left, and a voice said this.

Zheng Sen didn't need to look back to know that the person who said this must be Gu Jiang. Just a few days ago, Gu Jiang rushed to Jinghai by boat from his hometown, ready to serve the country. At that time, Zheng Sen asked Gu Jiang meaningfully: "Brother Ning Ren is coming this time, is he planning to enter the imperial court, or is he planning to come to help me?" ”

Gu Jiang smiled: "What can I do when I enter the imperial court, is it worth me to go so far?" Naturally, I came this time to join Damu under your curtain. ”

So Gu Jiang stayed by Zheng Sen's side to help him deal with some copywriting chores and other things. More military matters, it's not that Zheng Sen didn't let him participate, but that Gu Jiang himself said after watching the operation of the staff officers that he couldn't understand many things at all.

This is also a normal thing, although Gu Jiang participated in the war against the Spaniards with Zheng Sen back then, but he was only watching the war from the sidelines, and Gu Jiang basically knew nothing about the preparations for the war, especially the logistics preparations, and some other plans.

Fortunately, Gu Jiang also knows that the real war is not as simple as described in books like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it is not a scholar like him, who can be Zhuge Liang with a feather fan. On the military side, he would hardly interject casually. Still, he felt he was politically valuable.

"Jiang Hao is capricious and not a good person, I naturally know this. But as the so-called 'villain Yu Li', although Jiang Hao is a villain, he is not a complete fool, he can naturally see that Li Zicheng's situation is not right now, so his move should not be fake. Zheng Sen replied.

"I know that, too." Gu Jiang said, "It's just that after this person is anyway, how does Da Mu plan to arrange this person?" ”

Zheng Sen smiled: "This person is not only a villain, but he actually has no talent, I don't plan to use it." But I'll still give him a chance to be a rich man. Well, Brother Ningren, I'm going to hold a military meeting soon to arrange the battle. You arrange it and take notes. ”

Gu Jiang understands that letting himself make records is actually letting himself gradually understand the relevant military knowledge. Although Gu Jiang knew that Zheng Sen's army did not need any "military advisors", politics and military affairs could not be completely separated. It is very dangerous for people who deal with politics to be completely ignorant of military affairs.

In the past, when chatting with Zheng Sen, Zheng Sen praised the practice that there was no obvious demarcation between civil officials and military generals in ancient times. At that time, Gu Jiang asked: "One day, if it is possible, do you plan to restore such a system?" At that time, Zheng Sen shook his head and replied, "How is this possible?" Nowadays, wars are more complicated than in the past, and the things of fighting wars naturally have to be left to professional people. It's as if a lot of things about governing a place have to be done by specialized people. It's just that politicians don't necessarily need to be proficient in everything, but they must at least have an understanding of all important aspects. Military affairs are major affairs of the military state, and those who are in power cannot ignore them at all. ”

Gu Jiang said goodbye, and after a while, he came to tell Zheng Sen again, saying that the meeting had been arranged. Zheng Sen followed him to the war room, and sure enough, he saw that the officers had arrived, and at this moment everyone was sitting at the table, talking to each other.

Seeing Zheng Sen walk in, the guards shouted, "The commander has arrived!" Zheng Sen already had the status of a general soldier at this time, but within the army, especially when conducting military meetings, Zheng Sen was more accustomed to having people call him "commander".

All the officers immediately stood up and made an upright posture. Zheng Sen walked to his place and said to everyone, "Everyone, please take a seat." So the officers sat down again.

"You should be able to guess what I'm calling you for this meeting." Zheng Sen said, "Yes, the purpose of our meeting is to study how to recover Beijing......

……

Li Zicheng is also preparing for retreat, but it is very difficult to retreat safely from Beijing. First of all, Li Zicheng must do a good job in the psychological work of some of his subordinates. Because some of his subordinates felt that if they all took Beijing, it should be regarded as a positive result, Li Zicheng became the emperor, they became ministers, and then ...... Now that he is going to abandon the city and leave, isn't this a return to exile? In this way, there will inevitably be some fluctuations in the hearts of these people. However, Li Zicheng knows that this is not a problem that is too difficult to solve, at least compared to the following problems, this problem is not a problem at all.

The question is what to do with those new annexes. Li Zicheng knew that these new annexed troops were unreliable, so it was best to leave them all behind when retreating, but after all, they were also soldiers, if they could be brought back and carefully tempered for two years, these soldiers might still be useful. Moreover, Li Zicheng also feared that they would mutiniate because of their military weakness.

Yes, militarily weak. Because a lot of descendants were sent, the number of descendants around Li Zicheng was limited, and it was not enough to suppress those new annexes. If he wanted to retreat well, Li Zicheng felt that he had to do one thing first, that is, to call Liu Zongmin and the descendants he brought back. Only by calling this force back, in this case, can Li Zicheng better control the situation.

In order to wait for Liu Zongmin, Li Zicheng waited for one more day in the capital. In the evening of the same day, Liu Zongmin rushed back with his troops. Li Zicheng gathered him, as well as some of his most trusted people, to discuss the retreat.

……

Just when Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin and others were discussing how to withdraw from the Beijing Division, a few guests also came to Duoduo's camp. These guests were all their friends. These people are all businessmen from Shanxi, and they have business dealings with our Qing Dynasty, and if they hadn't broken the economic blockade of the Ming Dynasty against our Qing Dynasty, the development of our Qing Dynasty would not have been so smooth.

"Mr. Fan, what news do you have for this visit?" Dodor asked one of them.

This "Mr. Fan" hurriedly clenched his fists and replied: "Back to the prince, I came here to draw a thread for the prince." Does the prince know that Li Zicheng, a rogue who now occupies the capital, is about to run away? ”

Hearing this, Duoduo's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he said, "What? Li Zicheng wants to run! What's going on? Tell me about ......."
