In the face of the situation in the capital that gradually became out of control, some officials and generals of the Dashun army couldn't help but express their worries, after all, if the Dashun army wanted to sit firmly in Beijing, it must first be supported by the people, but now the people have been violated by the Dashun soldiers.

Not only that, the original recovery of the stolen goods of the Ming officials has evolved into the raiding of the rich gentry of the officials, and their property is taken away, so that those people want to cry without tears, and they will be hacked to death if they resist the slightest.

At this time, those officials couldn't help but remember the benefits of the Ming Dynasty, at least Emperor Chongzhen would not forcibly plunder their property, let alone take their lives for no reason.

The people's welcome and expectation of Dashun became fear and hatred, and they were deeply harmed by the soldiers of the Dashun army who were out of control, and they wished that the Ming army in the south would come and destroy the Dashun army.

In just more than ten days, the atmosphere that shrouded the city of Beijing has undergone a 180-degree change, and the Dashun army has become a magic star from a savior, and the officials and people in the capital all hate it but are helpless.

In these days, not only did they reap a lot of money from the stolen goods, but the soldiers of Dashun also scavenged a lot of money from the people, which can be said to have made a lot of money, and everyone was happy.

On this day, Qianqing Palace.

"Big brother, guess how much dirty silver we've been chasing these days?" When Li Zicheng was looking through the battle report in his hand, Liu Zongmin rushed into the door and said in high spirits.

"How much?" Li Zicheng smiled slightly when he saw this, and from Liu Zongmin's reaction, he knew that he would definitely reap a lot of money.

"Seventy million taels, all the property adds up to seventy million taels, I can't imagine that these dog officials in the capital will be so rich!" Liu Zongmin stretched out seven fingers at Li Zicheng, and said with emotion that he had never seen so much money in his life.

"Seventy million taels?" Li Zicheng couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, he didn't expect that there would be so much money.

"Big brother, this money is enough for us to calm the world." Liu Zongmin looked at Li Zicheng excitedly, with this money, he didn't have to worry about military salaries.

"Send someone quickly and transport these belongings back to Xijing!" Li Zicheng put down the battle report in his hand and told Liu Zongmin in a deep voice that the northwest is the territory of Dashun, and it is not safe to keep the money in the capital, so it is better to transport it back to Xi'an.

"Okay, I'll send someone to do this." Liu Zongmin agreed with a smile, and his mood seemed very good.

"Your Majesty, the Red Lady, Lord Li Yan and Lord Song Xiance have come to see you." At that moment, a guard entered the door and bowed down to report to Li Zicheng.

In the Dashun Army, the only person who can freely enter and leave Li Zicheng's room is Liu Zongmin, who is deeply trusted by him, and the rest must report in advance.

"Let them in." Li Zicheng bowed slightly when he heard this, and was a little curious why the three of them came to meet together.

"The red lady meets the emperor!"

"Minister Li Yan meets the emperor!"

"Minister Song offers advice to meet the emperor!"

Soon, the red lady, the white-clothed scribe and a blue-clothed scribe entered the palace gate, came to Li Zicheng and bowed his hand, because Li Zicheng only ascended the throne in Xi'an at the beginning of the year and called the emperor, so there are not so many rules, otherwise the red lady and the three will kneel and kowtow.

"Girl, why did you think of attacking to see me?" Li Zicheng looked at the red lady with a smile and said, the red lady has a very good relationship with his wife Gao Guiying, and they are like sisters, so he also sweats the red lady "sister".

Speaking of which, although Li Zicheng is now powerful, his family relationship seems to be relatively bad, both wives have fornication, one was killed by him, the other surrendered to the Ming army, Gao Guiying is his third wife.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the city has been chaotic recently, and there have been a lot of looting, so that the people are panicked, and I hope that the emperor can restrain military discipline and appease the people."

The red lady arched her hand to Li Zicheng and said in a deep voice, she didn't want to care about this matter, but the situation in the capital was so bad that she couldn't stand it at all.

"Is there such a thing?" Li Zicheng frowned slightly when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Liu Zongmin, who was standing on the side, Liu Zongmin was in charge of public security affairs in the capital.

"Sister, those Ming dog officials are cheap bones, if you don't give them a little power, they won't spit out the greedy stolen goods at all."

Liu Zongmin smiled and said to the red lady disappreciatively, "These people bully men and women on weekdays, not to mention raiding the house, even killing them is not enough to be angry." ”

"Your Majesty, I heard that the home of Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Liaodong, was also raided, and now Wu Sangui has tens of thousands of elite Guan Liao troops in his hands, so it is not appropriate to provoke him." The red lady was just about to say something, but the white-clothed scribe standing beside her took the first step to speak, looking at Li Zicheng worriedly, he was Li Yan, Li Zicheng's adviser.

"Your Majesty, Wu Sangui has been operating outside the customs for many years, and our top priority is to subdue him, or not to move his family." Subsequently, the blue-clothed scribe also opened his mouth to persuade Li Zicheng, who was another of Li Zicheng's advisers, Song Xiance.

"Wu Sangui's home was raided?" Li Zicheng felt a little surprised at this time, and couldn't help but look at Liu Zongmin, but he didn't expect Liu Zongmin to take Wu Sangui under the knife.

"Big brother, Wu Sangui is a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally he is also within the scope of this recovery of stolen goods, since he has surrendered, my Dashun naturally has to follow the rules of Dashun."

Liu Zongmin did not deny it, and after hearing this, he nodded and said disapprerovingly, "Besides, if the civil and military officials in the city are all staring at the Wu family, if they don't take the Wu family, there will definitely be more people who will resist to the end, and in that case, more people will die." ”

Li Zicheng suddenly fell silent when he heard this, although Liu Zongmin did quite inappropriately in Wu Sangui's affairs, he had to say that he was also doing this for Dashun.

"Your Majesty, the minister is worried that Wu Sangui will change after learning about the affairs in the capital, so please ask the emperor to send someone to accept the Ming army outside the Guanxi as soon as possible and bring Wu Sangui to Beijing." Seeing this, Li Yan knew that Li Zicheng didn't want to pursue the matter, so he sighed secretly in his heart and then opened his mouth to ask.

"Spread the decree, send an army to receive Ning Yuan's Ming army tomorrow, and pass Wu Sangui to Beijing to meet you!" Li Zicheng bowed slightly when he heard this, and gave an order in a deep voice, so it seems that Wu Sangui is indeed a trouble.

"Emperor Qiqi, Wu Sangui led the army to attack Shanhaiguan last night, and occupied Shanhaiguan after killing the generals guarding the pass."

As soon as Li Zicheng's words fell, a guard hurriedly entered the palace gate and reported loudly.

"What?" Hearing this, Li Zicheng couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't expect Wu Sangui to recapture Shanhaiguan, and he didn't expect that the Dashun generals guarding the pass would be so poor that Wu Sangui would easily take the pass.

In fact, since the capture of the capital, the Dashun army has been filled with an atmosphere of pride and slackness, thinking that it has been captured, and the Ming army in the south, the Manchu Qing in the north and Zhang Xianzhong's peasant army are not to be feared.

Therefore, the thinking of the Dashun army from the general to the soldier was very lax, and he was looking for fun all day long, and he was drunk.

Li Zicheng sent more than 10,000 Dashun troops to receive Shanhaiguan, because Shanhaiguan is the first Xiongguan in the world, easy to defend and difficult to attack, more than 10,000 people are enough to block the enemy's attack, waiting for reinforcements from the capital.

But who wanted to live a drunken life in the Dashun army stationed in the pass, Wu Sangui sent people into the pass in advance as an internal response, and the inside and outside attack easily recaptured Shanhaiguan and killed the drunken and sleeping guards.

The Red Lady, Li Yan, and Song Xiance were shocked when they heard this, and Liu Zongmin also showed a stunned look, no matter what, he didn't expect Shanhaiguan to be lost like this.

"Big brother, since Wu Sangui is looking for death, then I am willing to lead the army to attack and cut off his head to give to the eldest brother." After the initial stunned, Liu Zongmin surrendered his hand to Li Zicheng and asked for battle with great pride.

Since the Eastern Crusade, in addition to encountering resistance at Ningwu Pass, the city checkpoints heavily guarded by the Ming army, including Datong, Xuanfu and Juyong Pass, have all surrendered, which naturally made the generals of the Dashun army, including Liu Zongmin, despise the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

"Wu Sangui is also a famous general of the Ming Dynasty, and he has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, this time I want to drive the expedition in person and annihilate it in one fell swoop." Li Zicheng groaned for a while when he heard this, and said to Liu Zongmin in a deep voice, "Pass the order, prepare the army for battle, and go out with me in the near future!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Zongmin perked up and shouted at Li Zicheng.

The Red Lady, Li Yan, and Song Xiance also bowed to Li Zicheng immediately, preparing for the war-related matters, and the security situation in the capital was naturally pushed aside.

"Brother Li, why did you stop me just now? If the situation in the capital continues to be chaotic, we will lose the hearts of the people! After leaving the palace, the red lady couldn't help but ask Li Yan, who had obviously prevented her from mentioning the chaos in the capital just now.

"Sister, Brother Li, this is for your good, you don't want to think about it, if there is no acquiescence of King Chuang, Liu Zongmin would dare to do this?" Hearing this, Song Xiance, who was standing aside, suddenly laughed and said meaningfully to the red lady.

"But in this way, we will lose the support of the people, how will we sit in the capital in the future?" When the red lady heard this, her eyebrows immediately frowned, and she asked with a worried expression.

"Sister, haven't you seen that the emperor's mind is not in Beijing but in Xijing, although Beijing is good, it is a place of right and wrong, and Xijing is the foundation of my Dashun."

Song Xiance looked at the red lady with a smile, "Sister, now that Da Ming is dead, shouldn't you also think about your life's events, do you want our Brother Li to just keep waiting." ”

"Brother Song, you are laughing at your sister again, my sister once said that the day of peace in the world is the time when my sister gets married."

The red lady's cheeks couldn't help but turn red when she heard this, and after looking at Li Yan, who was a little embarrassed, she said solemnly, of course she knew Li Yan's affection for her, but she didn't have any feelings for Li Yan, she just regarded him as a brother like Song Xiance.

Li Yan's expression suddenly darkened when he heard this, he and the Red Lady have been fighting side by side since the incident in Henan, and naturally knows the character of the Red Lady, and the Red Lady is politely rejecting him.

"Alas!" Song Xiance couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard this, it seems that King Xiang intends to be ruthless, and his idea of matching the red lady and Li Yan seems to be in vain.

In his opinion, the Red Lady and Li Yan are a match made in heaven, and they should have become a good marriage story, but the Red Lady has no love for Li Yan, which is really regrettable.
