The problem of the Dashun Army is that the foundation is unstable, and the territory is gained quickly and lost faster.

Li Zicheng took three months to conquer Beijing, but it only took one month to defeat and return to Guanzhong.

When Beizhili and various parts of Shandong received the news of Li Zicheng's defeat, they rebelled when they heard the news, and the officials appointed by Li Zicheng were overthrown before they could fully take office.

Shanxi is also full of rebels, and even Henan, which has ruled for nearly two years, has many rebellions against Shun.

For a time, the Dashun Imperial Court, where the rogues were born, was full of "Lin Dengwan" who rose up in the territory controlled by Liukou.

On June 3, a troop of cavalry hurried from the east, entered the city of Runing, and then galloped down the streets directly to the palace of the defense envoy.

Gao Chengwei hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the war horse for the visitor, and asked in surprise: "General Liu, why did you arrive today?" ”

Liu Heizi turned over and dismounted, handed the whip to his subordinates, his face was a little anxious, "It's all this time, how can I sit still, naturally I came over non-stop." ”

As he spoke, he walked unceremoniously to the mansion, "Is my brother Gao in the mansion?" ”

"The marshal thought that General Liu would arrive tomorrow, so he was not in the mansion, but went to transfer troops outside the city and arranged for men and horses to go to Xuzhou to fight Han Jiadi's rebels." Gao Chengwei replied, and hurriedly said: "I'll take General Liu to the guest hall to rest first, and then immediately send someone to inform the marshal." ”

The news of Li Zicheng's defeat spread to Henan, which also caused many rebellions, especially Li Zicheng's irrigation of Bianzhou and plundering eastern Henan, and the common gentry did not like Li Zicheng.

Historically, Ruzhou occupied by Gao Yihuan and Guide occupied by Liu Heizi were the first to rebel, but because Gao Yihuan governed well and Liu Heizi was not bad, the rebellion mainly appeared in Kaifeng Mansion and the area east of Luoyang.

Liu Heizi waved his hand, "You go and inform Brother Gao now, and I'll go to the guest hall to wait by myself." ”

Not long after, Gao Yihuan rushed back to the mansion from outside the city, carrying a horsewhip in his hand, and when he came to the guest hall, he saw Liu Heizi pacing back and forth in the hall in a hurry, and the ground was about to be stepped out of a deep groove by him.

I can't help Liu Heizi not be in a hurry, Guide Mansion is usually a good place, located at the junction of three provinces, and fertile for thousands of miles, but once there is a war, the south and north have to pass from his Guide to the army, and Liu Heizi's territory is dangerous.

Li Zicheng, who is now in the middle of the day, suddenly fell from the sky to the earth, and most of Shandong Province was lost in less than a month or two.

Liu Heizi was close to Shandong, and accepted many Shun officials who fled from Shandong to Henan, and after listening to their words, he was already a little frightened, suspecting that he had followed the wrong boss.

In addition, in Henan, mainly in the eastern Henan region, which was plagued by Li Zicheng, there was also a rebellion, and the Ming Dynasty was ready to move, if the Ming army cooperated with the rebels and wanted to recover Henan, it would return to Germany, Liu Heizi was naturally anxious, so he asked Gao Yihuan what to do?

"Brother Liu!" Gao Yihuan arched his hand and walked straight in.

Liu Heizi turned his head with a happy face, "Brother Gao, you are back." ”

Gao Yihuan put the whip on the table first, and Liu Heizi couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Gao, what do you think of the current situation?" ”

"Brother Liu, don't panic yet." Gao Yihuan sat down, pressed his hand, and motioned for him to sit down and said.

", how can you not panic?" Liu Heizi's eyes widened, and he said hurriedly: "Xu Dingguo, the general soldier of Henan in the Ming Dynasty stationed in Suzhou, has already hit Yongcheng!"

Liu Heizi said worriedly: "Although Guisun was driven back by me, but Henan is rebelling everywhere, there are tens of thousands of Ming troops in Xuzhou, and the Tartars in Shandong have fought again, how can I not panic." Brother, my mouth is foaming and my urine is yellow! ”

Liu Heizi couldn't sit still at all, pointed to the blisters on his lips, and said, but found that Gao Yihuan was very calm, and his heart was not alarmed, and suddenly his eyes turned and asked mysteriously: "Brother Gao, do you have any way?" Why don't you panic at all? ”

Nowadays, the Dashun Dynasty has an air of doom, and with rebellions in various places, it is easy to panic.

"Panic? What's the use of panicking. Gao Yihuan glanced at Liu Heizi, "Our brother robbed the horses of the Tartars in Shandong, and even the man of the bird princess was killed by us." When the Qing army came, it was definitely not as good as our brothers. With the ferocity of the Tartars, if we fall into their hands, most of us will die miserably. We can't solve the problem in a panic. ”

Liu Heizi's heart trembled, he really didn't expect that the Tartars would occupy Beijing and kill Henan, if he knew, he was afraid that he would have to think about it, and he would not kill so many Tartars.

Gao Yihuan continued: "The Dashun army forced Emperor Chongzhen to death, and Prince Chongzhen ascended the throne in Nanjing, in his eyes, we are the enemies who forced his father to death." If the crown prince can see the general trend clearly, he may be able to reluctantly accept us, but if the Nanjing court is blind, then we will be attacked on both sides. ”

"We didn't go to Beijing either! Can the emperor still blame us for hanging himself? Liu Heizi felt a little wronged in his heart, and frowned: "What can I do then?" ”

"What should I do?" Gao Yihuan said: "Of course, I rely on myself. Nowadays, our brothers are working together, as long as they are hard enough, who are afraid of not succeeding? ”

Gao Yihuan glanced at Liu Heizi, "Brother Liu, let's beg for someone now, it will make people despise us." It's not that we haven't fought Tartars, and the group of straw bales in the Ming Dynasty has nothing to be afraid of. What we have to do now is not to put a hot face on someone else's cold ass, but to make every effort to stabilize the territory, and then we will have the chips to talk to others. ”

Gao Yihuan said that he was arrogant, but in fact, he really had no bottom in his heart.

After all, history is very different, Nanming has an emperor that everyone recognizes, stronger than in history, and the crown prince must have hated the Shun army after experiencing the destruction of Beijing.

In fact, since the first battle of Shouzhou, Gao Yihuan and Ma Shiying have some contacts, and when the news of Li Zicheng's withdrawal from Beijing came, Gao Yihuan immediately showed goodwill to Ma Shiying, expressing the hope that the Ming Dynasty could appease him, but he sent the letter out for more than a month, but Ma Shiying did not reply to him.

The second brother is also weak in his heart, he can't be hard now, and the Ming Dynasty doesn't bird him at all.

Liu Heizi listened to Gao Yihuan's words, groaned for a while, and finally nodded, "Brother Gao is right, the most important thing in this situation is that there are soldiers and territory, as long as you are hard enough, you can eat there." ”

As he spoke, Liu Heizi suddenly softened, "But Brother Gao, if the Tartars or the Ming Army want to beat me, you have to pull my brother!" ”

Gao Yihuan walked down, took his hand and said, "Brother Liu, can't you trust me in our friendship?" ”

"Trustworthy, trustworthy." Liu Heizi nodded, his level was limited, he couldn't see the future situation clearly, and he was still a little uneasy in his heart, but he trusted Gao Yihuan's vision more, so he asked: "Brother Gao, then you say, how do we save the territory." ”

Gao Yihuan was also dissatisfied with him, "Brother Liu, to tell you the truth, I have already contacted the Ming Dynasty, but Nanjing may not be able to afford us." What we have to do now is that for the Ming Dynasty, we will not take the initiative to provoke trouble, but we must not be too soft, in addition, we must sweep away the rebellion in Henan as soon as possible, expand the territory at the same time, but also let the Ming Dynasty take a look, our strength, so that we can negotiate. ”
