Thanks to the support of two monthly passes in 1986

……

The infantry phalanx was broken, and the morale of the right flank of the Ming army was severely defeated. lost the opportunity, so that the 10,000 soldiers and horses on the right flank of the Ming army could only barely support under the attack of 5,000 soldiers and horses in Yinggul Dai.

The left wing of the Ming army, under the leadership of You Shilu, and the Houjin army were also indistinguishable from each other for a while. Yuan Chonghuan saw the difficulty of supporting the right flank, so he had to send 10,000 infantry to support the right flank.

The whole battle, which lasted from morning to evening, was fought by both sides before the two sides withdrew their troops. The Ming army relied on the Guanning iron cavalry and numerical superiority, and the Later Jin army was barely equal. But in terms of casualties, the Ming army was twice as many as the Houjin.

In the following days, Yuan Chonghuan became more conservative in strategy, which made it difficult to distinguish between the Ming army and the Later Jin.

In the Battle of Kaipingwei, Chen Si relied on the fortress and was still in a stalemate with Huang Taiji. For the defense of the fortress, Huang Taiji is really helpless. After receiving the news of the Ming army's attack on Shenyang, Huang Taiji finally had a high-sounding reason to retreat.

After receiving the news that Huang Taiji had withdrawn his troops from Kaipingwei, Yuan Chonghuan did not hesitate to choose to withdraw his troops. In the first battle of Shenyang, the Ming army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, but on the surface, it forced Huang Taiji to retreat from Kaipingwei.

……

Zhu Youxiao was on his way back to Beijing at this time. Zhu Youxiao first received the news that Zhu Zhihong, the king of Su, had been captured. What made Zhu Youxiao curious was not that Su Wang Zhu Zhihong was captured by his own people, but that Li Zicheng actually jumped out.

Zhu Youxiao was originally very wary of Li Zicheng, and at the beginning he thought about whether to simply kill Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong first, but then he thought that if a peasant uprising really broke out, even if he killed Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, he would not be able to solve the problem. At that time, there will definitely be a second Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong who will jump out.

"Pass on Li Guo, Li Zicheng will see the driver." Zhu Youxiao ordered. Unexpectedly, Li Zicheng jumped out by himself, and he decided to meet this terminator of the Ming Dynasty.

"No."

After Zhu Zhihong, the king of Su, was captured by Li Guo, he decided to personally escort Zhu Zhihong, the king of Su, with Li Zicheng. Hearing that Zhu Youxiao was going to summon the two, the two hurried to meet the driver without saying a word.

Seeing the two kneeling down in the hall, Zhu Youxiao looked at it with great interest, and then said: "Li Guo has made a meritorious contribution to capturing the anti-king Zhu Zhihong, and he will give the baron a reward of 1,000 taels of silver." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Li Guo said happily.

"You go down first." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No." Li Guo said respectfully.

"Li Zicheng." Zhu Youxiao shouted loudly.

"The minister is here." Li Zicheng also replied loudly.

"Your original name was Li Hongji, right? You joined the army after killing your creditor Ai Zhao and your wife Han Jin'er, and changed your name to Li Zicheng. Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Li Zicheng instantly seemed to be deflated, his momentum just now was completely gone, and cold sweat broke out all over his body, he immediately kowtowed and said: "The guilty minister deserves to die, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive the minister's capital crime for the sake of the minister's plan to capture the anti-king." ”

"Don't worry, I won't kill you, you look up at me." Zhu Youxiao said.

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Li Zicheng was relieved, and he hurriedly raised his head to look at Zhu Youxiao.

"Do you know what I see in your eyes?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"This ......" Li Zicheng really didn't know how to answer this question, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't know." ”

"I see ambition in your eyes." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Li Zicheng instinctively lowered his head again.

"You don't have to be afraid, I like ambitious people, you go to the Imperial Forest Army to report first, and first serve as the head of a hundred households in the Royal Forest Army." Zhu Youxiao said.

"The Lord's Order is grateful." Li Zicheng hurriedly said. He was suddenly really a little afraid of Zhu Youxiao from the bottom of his heart, Zhu Youxiao asked him to report to the Royal Forest Army, and he went to the Royal Forest Army without stopping for a moment.

Looking at the figure of Li Zicheng leaving, Zhu Youxiao knew that the Li Zicheng in front of him would never become the Li Zicheng in history.

Zhu Youxiao suddenly became interested in Zhang Xianzhong, and he ordered: "Find Zhang Xianzhong, who used to serve in the army in Yansui Town." ”

"No."

Zhang Xianzhong can be said to be the worst one by the Qing Dynasty, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered Sichuan, almost the entire Sichuan was slaughtered, and then all the sins were left to Zhang Xianzhong. An alibi is the strongest evidence in a criminal case, and once established, almost all of the evidence can be overturned. And there is alibi evidence about Zhang Xianzhong's slaughter of Sichuan, which is not right at all in terms of time.

……

After Zhu Youxiao entered Hebei, he received the news of Huang Taiji's withdrawal of troops, which meant that the war that affected half of China and endangered Zhu Youxiao's dominance had finally come to an end.

And Su Wang Zhu Zhihong was captured, and the main force of the 160,000 rebels was almost wiped out, and the main force of the rebels left in Shaanxi was already at the end of the road. Ma Shilong led 50,000 beggar troops and Lu Xiangsheng led 20,000 Tianxiong troops into Shaanxi at the same time. In the process of pacifying the whole of Shaanxi, there was hardly a single major battle, and even the defenders of Xi'an Province surrendered without a fight.

Zhu Shuaizin, the king of Qing, and Zhu Ganyan, the king of Han, fled to Ordos and defected to Eluchen. It's just that now it is difficult for Eluchen to protect himself, and when he supported King Su's rebellion, he had already lost 20,000 troops, so that when facing Lin Dan Khan, he had no power to resist at all. What's more, even if he didn't lose 20,000 troops, he was not Lin Dan Khan's opponent.

In mid-October, Zhu Youxiao returned to Beijing. Zhu Youxiao successively thwarted the rebellions of the vassal kings, and the attacks of Bu Lost Rabbit and Huang Taiji brought his prestige to a new peak.

Zhu Youxiao took advantage of this big victory and decided to let the two new policies of cutting the feudal domain and spreading the land into the mu be carried out at the same time. On October 22, the decree of the feudal domain was officially promulgated throughout the country. At the same time, in order to ease the relationship with the vassal kings and nobles, Zhu Youxiao decided to set up the House of Nobles, which was similar to the British House of Lords, and was composed of vassal kings and nobles from all over the country.

Zhu Youxiao set up a total of 199 seats in the noble house, all of which were held by vassal kings and nobles. The nobles who served as representatives of the House of Nobles would enjoy at least the salary of a fifth-rank official or above. This was a means for Zhu Youxiao to divide the vassal kings and nobles.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao also gave the House of Lords the legislative power, and any new bills and amendments to old bills in the future must be approved and approved by the House of Lords. This is also a bold attempt made by Zhu Youxiao for the future strategy of governing the country.
