Chapter 577: Li Zicheng ascends the throne

The situation was tense, and every step was urgent for Dorgon.

As soon as the princes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty walked out of the tent after the discussion, they saw Abatai and Turg running out of the camp with the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, but in two directions.

Many people still don't understand what happened, especially the leaders and leaders of the Eight Banners, and they don't know about the chaos that is happening in their hometowns now, and most of them are just confused and ordered to go to Beijing with Abatai.

If they knew that the grassland was in chaos now, they might have left with them.

The task of the 1,000 Red Banner Cavalry drawn out of Turg is also not light, it can be said that it is also a life of nine deaths, although Wu Sangui is dead, but it is not Gao Di who is in charge of Shanhaiguan now, mainly Qi Yaowu is in charge.

This person has not been heard of by many people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is said that the head armor of the cadets who graduated from the first phase of the military academy can be entrusted with important tasks by Wang Zheng, and his ability will not be too low.

In the entire territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there were not many soldiers and horses that could be mobilized.

But if you don't start fighting, and wait for Natum to settle the dispute on the steppe and then drive south, then the whole situation will collapse completely, and Dolgon still remembers the strategy of the old Khan against the Mongols in Tiancong, and no one wants to do it again.

The original contradictions of the nobles of the banners were put aside, and even Hauge was released, and the reason why Dolgon did not continue to suppress the nobles of the two yellow flags was to unite all forces to survive this crisis.

As for the matter of entering the Central Plains, let's talk about it later.

Although Dorgon made several strategic decisions in quick succession, there weren't many things he could be sure of.

Yujun Wang Duoduo is guarding the Korean border, as long as he is there, even if the DPRK moves, it is only within his own house, and he cannot threaten the Jurchen side, so for the sake of stability in the south, Duoduo cannot move yet.

Now, Dolgon can only transfer Dingkou to the Shengjing area in various parts of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, wanting to concentrate on defending Shengjing, but when he received this news, the Qi army had already landed for a while, and he didn't know if it was too late.

......

Dolgon is anxious here, and Li Zicheng, who is in Beijing, is similar.

Although the battle of a piece of stone was won by virtue of the sudden appearance of the Qi army, the Dashun side was miserable, and the battle was almost over, and the Qing army and the Qi army suddenly appeared.

The Qi army suffered a lot of losses, but it was only an ordinary army left in Shanhaiguan, not to mention picking up Abatai's good and incorporating Xia Guoxiang and the remnants of the Guanning army.

Li Zicheng was completely disabled by the elite of the headquarters, and he was taken out of the old camp of nearly 100,000 people, and he wanted to take Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop and then return to Beijing to ascend the throne.

When he left, Beijing was holding the enthronement ceremony of King Chuang, waiting for Li Zicheng to return triumphantly to ascend the throne and change the dynasty, no one expected that it would be such an ending.

The elites who went out only came back less than thirty percent, and they were basically embarrassed, and the peasant armies under Li Zicheng were a little dissatisfied when they saw that the elites of his headquarters were damaged.

However, there were still many troops within the Dashun army who were subordinate to Li Zicheng, and coupled with the prestige of King Chuang, after the initial turmoil, they were still able to suppress these peasant army leaders.

The first thing Li Zicheng did after returning to Beijing was to convene the military generals of Dashun to discuss countermeasures, and the military advisor Niu Jinxing suggested that "ascend the throne as soon as possible", and the enthronement ceremony was scheduled to be held in the Wuying Hall during the Double Ninth Festival in early September.

On this day, sleet suddenly fell in the originally sunny city of Beijing, which started as a thin rain and fog, and then became thicker and thicker until it became cold snow particles.

The cold rain and snow particles were carried by the cold wind, whipping people's faces, making people unable to open their eyes, but even if they opened their eyes, they could only see the dim sky over the city of Beijing.

Everyone was full of sadness, only Li Zicheng's military advisor Song Xiance stood in the snow, looking at it, his face showed joy, God was really biased towards himself, just verified his divination last night:

"Heavy nine double yang, mixed with snow and rain, it is not suitable to be the emperor."

Li Zicheng had always listened to Song Xiance's hexagrams, but this time he couldn't do that again.

Li Zicheng did not know that the Qing army had quietly withdrawn a few days ago, and Dolgon rushed back to the way back to Shengjing, the only thing he could be sure of was that Wang Zheng and Dolgon's army surrounded from both sides and would arrive soon.

After suffering heavy losses after the battle of Yishi, Dashun was discouraged, and even the people and gentry in the city hated them to the core, and Li was convinced that neither the Qi army nor the Qing army was able to resist.

In the eyes of Li Zicheng and the generals of the Dashun Army, this Beijing city is not as good as his hometown of Xi'an, Shaanxi, after all, it is his hometown, and he has his parents and fellow villagers who support him.

Therefore, withdrawing to Xi'an in order to make a comeback has directly become the most vocal voice in the Dashun army, and Niu Jinxing is powerless even if he fights against these Shaanxi generals.

Since the early hours of the morning, the sound of artillery outside the city, which had been heard all night, had begun to fall apart, replaced by the sound of boots stepping through the soft slush.

Between the vast heaven and earth, the soldiers of the Dashun Army carried the banner and walked through the avenue as if they had stepped into the city for the first time many days ago, but the original scene of welcoming the road disappeared, and many people's eyes were not as firm as they were at the beginning.

For some reason, Li Zicheng did not wear the carefully prepared emperor's clothes, he was still the same, wearing a felt hat, wearing a scarlet robe, riding a black barge horse, and walking in front of the crowd.

It doesn't look like he has ascended the throne at all, but it looks like he is about to lead his troops on an expedition.

The team beating gongs and drums walked to the front of the "Chengtianmen", Li Zicheng suddenly sighed, remembering his hesitation when he first entered the Beijing Division, pointed to the door plaque with his right hand, turned his head and said to Prime Minister Niu Jinxing, military advisor Song Xiance, Shangshu Song Qijiao and others:

"When this king entered Beijing, he shot an arrow, and it happened to hit the middle of the four characters, you and others said that I will be the lord of the world, and today I will shoot another arrow, and see that it is still not the lord of the world."

After that, Li Zicheng didn't wait for everyone to reply, suddenly turned around, pulled out an arrow from the cowhide quiver, and shot out quickly with a "bang" without thinking about it.

In the drizzle, the arrow full of potential energy rushed towards the door plaque, although it hit the door plaque, but it was not accurate enough, and the shot was in the lower half of the word "sky", in modern terms, at most 8.5 rings.

Li Zicheng frowned slightly, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance glanced at each other, suddenly laughed and grabbed the attention of the audience, stepped forward and said with relief:

"In the middle, in the world."

Li Zicheng smiled indifferently, seemingly not caring, but for some reason in his heart, he suddenly felt a little desolate.

The horse's hooves left an empty echo in the Forbidden City, the huge Forbidden City, full of soldiers of the Dashun Army and many people who were forced to come to watch, they looked at Li Zicheng who had climbed to the top of the sky step by step, but the gaze in his eyes was completely different.

The officers and soldiers of the Dashun Army were full of pride, and although Liu Fangliang, Li Guo, He Jin, Li Laiheng and others were more or less injured, they looked at each other and laughed, and they finally waited until the day when King Chuang ascended the throne.

"Long live Emperor Yongchang of Dashun!"

"Long live Emperor Yongchang of Dashun!"

"Long live Emperor Yongchang of Dashun!"
