Chapter 608: Li Zicheng wants to make peace
dared to make up a name in front of everyone's eyes to directly make up a name to kill Jiang Xiang, who was at the level of the general army in the previous dynasty, Wang Zheng relied on the great military might of the Qi army!
Shanxi is a mess in the eyes of others, so Wang Zheng has to take the army to do it himself, and now that the Datong Mansion has been demolished, it is natural to strike while the iron is hot, and appoint a new main and deputy general to make up for it according to his own wishes.
This person doesn't have to be outstanding, but he must be loyal to Wang Zheng and Daqi, and now, the most important thing for Wang Zheng is only four words, and the rear is stable.
With the current force of Daqi, as long as the internal stability is achieved, there must be no problem for these soldiers and horses to destroy Dashun and Daxi, and the "article on begging thieves" is Li Yan's suggestion, which is used to guide public opinion and people's hearts, and build momentum for Daqi to unify the Central Plains.
Until now, basically individuals know that Daqi is about to complete the great cause of reunification with absolute military superiority.
Therefore, there must be two people to stay in Datong, and the main general needs to use the original local generals for the time being, which can stabilize the hearts of the local people, but the second deputy general is the candidate who actually controls the military power, and must appoint capable generals from the forbidden army.
In fact, Wang Zheng's approach is similar to that of Dolgon after he entered the Central Plains, and the meaning is the same, which is to stabilize the place first, and after the whole country is stable, he will free up his hands and clean up one by one.
Since the beginning of the Western Expedition, Wang Zheng's expression has been extremely calm, so calm that people even forget his real age, many people understand that no matter whether this Jiang Xiang is against him or not, killing him is a necessary move to rectify Datong.
However, the rectification of Datong is actually to lay the foundation for further rectification of Shanxi, and to use this general army to make an example of chickens and monkeys in the future.
The so-called conspiracy of Yang, the key is the current situation, the current situation, even if Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong know that fighting with Daqi is equivalent to sending them to death, they have to jump in.
In this westward expedition, Wang Zheng was thinking of victory.
After the extermination of Li Zicheng, the situation in the northwest must undergo major changes, before coming, Wang Zheng took all these things into account, if you wait until Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are all exterminated, and the world is unified, there are several things that have to be put on the agenda.
For example, the great feudal heroes after the establishment of the country, as well as the rectification of the northwest, Sichuan, Shu, Yunnan and Guizhou, as well as the redivision of political regions across the country, and even the comprehensive reform of the military system and the constitution.
As a brand-new dynasty, some things can be used in the previous dynasty, but some must make necessary progress, the times are developing, and Wang Zheng does not want Daqi to lag behind the world from the beginning.
In addition, there is also the disposal method of the former Ming royal family, which is also the most headache for Wang Zheng.
You must know that as long as the imperial family of the former Ming Dynasty still exists in this world, it will still have some appeal, from Zhu Yihai to the vassal kings who have been placed under house arrest by the Qi army in various places, they all need a proper way to deal with it.
For these people, Wang Zheng considered from a political point of view, in order to stabilize the hearts of the officials of the previous dynasty, he naturally couldn't learn from Li Zicheng and kill them all, which would only cause chaos.
As for what kind treatment to say, in fact, Wang Zheng is reluctant in his heart, but it also depends on the performance of these former Ming royal families, and now in this world, the only royal family that really rises up in response to the sky is his royal family!
As long as we recognize this, there is still a lot of hope for survival.
Wang Zheng is not the kind of selfless saint, he doesn't want the country he has worked so hard to be easily taken away by others, in order to protect himself and the Wang family's great qi, he can do anything.
If you really don't have the heart of 'anti-Qi and restore your sight', it is not impossible to consider letting the royal family of the previous dynasty live in seclusion and spend the second half of their lives in peace.
Of course, all of this will have to be dealt with together after the end of this war.
......
Under the city of Xi'an, which is known as the four ancient capitals, there is an endless Qi army in front of you, the fluttering Yellow Dragon banner covers the sky and the sun, the war drums shake the sky, and several whole rows of black holes and cannons are aimed at the direction of Xi'an City.
Looking at this scene, the corners of Li Zicheng's mouth twitched, and after a long time, he said to Niu Jinxing beside him:
"Strategist, you personally go to the Qi army camp, or ask for peace, how to fight this battle?"
As Emperor Yongchang of Dashun, Li Zicheng's first thought after seeing the Qi army was not how to resist and keep Xi'an, but he did not hesitate to ask for peace and surrender.
These, in fact, are not because Li Zicheng is timid, but because of the absolute crushing momentum of the Great Qi force, Li Zicheng is still a sensible person, and he knows that stubborn resistance can only push everyone to death.
Moreover, Daqi is not a barbarian outside the Guan, and without the spur of national righteousness, Li Zicheng is likely to make a different decision from history.
As early as outside the Shanhai Pass, Li Zicheng had witnessed the combat effectiveness of the Qi army, which was only 20,000 infantry at that time, but now it is the elite who claims to be one million.
It's only been half a year, and in terms of equipment and momentum, these Qi troops have improved more than one grade compared with the original Shanhaiguan, and Dashun, who has lost almost all of the old battalions, has regressed more and more.
I have to mention that in Li Zicheng's eyes, the Qi army in front of him, which is known as one million, looks more like a real army than the million-dollar army in his hands last year.
The so-called Son of Heaven is angry, and millions of corpses are ambushed, Li Zicheng and Wang Zheng can be regarded as the emperors in Beijing, only in order, but there is no difference between true and false, and both of them can actually be regarded as the Son of Heaven.
This king is angry, Dashun and Daxi really want to ambush millions of corpses, and they will kill whoever they say, who dares to say nothing?
But no matter how angry Li Zicheng was, he had no choice but to watch the original Dashun territory cut wheat by the Qi army, and the army's morale was also getting worse.
Li Zicheng personally read the 'Thief Essay', although he was very angry, but even he felt a little enthusiastic when he read it himself, not to mention these generals who were blessed by the Great Qi.
On the same day, Wang Zheng personally read out the text of the thief at the head of the Forbidden City, and the effect was extremely significant, it had just passed half a month, and it had already hit the city of Xi'an, and the three layers inside and the three layers outside the three layers surrounded here, and now Li Zicheng sincerely experienced the mood of Chongzhen last year.
There are no strong soldiers inside, no reinforcements outside, except for being trapped in this lonely city, Li Zicheng has no way out.
There are only more than 100,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city, and there will be no one outside to support them at this time.
The people in Xi'an City were panicked, and Li Zicheng could even hear many soldiers of Dashun openly discussing how to join the Qi army, and Li Zicheng had nothing to do about it.
Hao Shaoqi and Li Guo are still in that temperament, and they keep asking for war, but even in their eyes, they still have a deep fear of the outside of the city.
Li Zicheng could see that when the two of them asked for battle, they were actually thinking of dying.
But there are dozens of infantry phalanxes arranged on the front by the other side, not to mention the countless horsemen who are constantly rushing in the distance, and can only see the dust.
Li Zicheng rejected the request of the rest of the generals to ask for war, and only wanted to seek peace.
