PS: As soon as the new book was signed, it continued to run naked, and there has been no opportunity to recommend exposure, there are so many new books hanging on the history page, and most of the results are not as good as the empire's comeback, the book seems to have been forgotten by the editor, and I can't get a small position in the recommendation, the swordsman is in a very low mood this day, fortunately, there is still the support of book friends, and the support of bone readers, so that the swordsman is still full of power, and the Nanming niche book is estimated to be very unfavored by the editors for commercial value, hey.

Just when the Ming monarchs and ministers were tearing each other apart for the sake of governing power, the situation in the north had gradually become clear.

Since Li Zicheng broke through Beijing, he began to become arrogant, and also connived at his subordinates to loot, and the military discipline became more and more corrupt, and at the same time, in order to raise military salaries, he wantonly tortured and plundered Ming officials, raided homes everywhere, donated salaries, and even Wu Sangui's family, who was ready to surrender, was not spared, forcing Wu Sangui to defect again, retreat to Shanhaiguan, and lead troops to fight.

On April 12, Li Zicheng led an army of 100,000 to Shanhaiguan to conquer Wu Sangui, and the battle lasted until April 18, the Wu army gradually became weak, Wu Sangui was surrendered to the Qing Dynasty regent Dolgon, who was leading the army to take the opportunity to enter the pass and seize the world, and the battle of a stone, the Qing and Wu armies joined forces to defeat Li Zicheng's 100,000 army, and the main general Liu Zongmin was wounded and ordered to retreat.

On the 19th, Li Zicheng fled back to the capital with more than 30,000 defeated troops, and hurriedly ascended the throne in Beijing on the 20th, and at the same time killed more than 30 members of Wu Sangui's family.

Jiang Liang, the chief soldier of Datong Town, accepted the Qing court's recruitment, Shanxi fell into the hands of the Qing court, and the Ming troops who surrendered everywhere rebelled one after another, and the vigorous Dashun New Dynasty was destroyed in a blink of an eye.

After Dolgon led the army into the customs, he first held a funeral for Emperor Chongzhen, won the hearts of the people, and then requisitioned the officials of the former Ming Dynasty on a large scale, returned the land and property of the gentry and landlords who were taken away by the Dashun army, abolished the system of cheap registration of artisan households, and even pretended to announce the suspension of shaving his hair.

When the new dynasty of Zhangwu of the Ming Dynasty was established, it was when Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and the combined forces defeated the Dashun army and occupied Beijing. Due to the lack of information, the ministers of Nanjing were not clear about the relationship between Wu Sangui and the Qing Dynasty, thinking that Wu Sangui had defeated the "thieves" with the help of the Qing army and recovered Shenjing. In view of the change of mind of the people in the DPRK and the Central Committee, their morale is low, and their combat effectiveness is worrisome. So some people remembered the "high move" of "borrowing Pingkou".

As early as the Chongzhen period, Yang Sichang served as a scholar and scholar of the military department, knowing that the imperial court's military strength and financial resources were not enough to support the two-front war, and once put forward the suggestion of "the outside must first be safe", the specific content was to reach a peace agreement with the Qing side, and transport silver, satin silk and other things every year, and the Qing side returned with a small amount of ginseng and mink skin, and implemented mutual markets; Then concentrate forces to sweep away the "rogues". This was a last resort at the time, but it did not mean to use the Qing forces to deal with the rebels.

With the fall of Beijing and the deterioration of the whole situation, some politically enthusiastic Donglin juniors and Fushe children in Nanjing began to consider borrowing the troops of the Yiren to jointly suppress the thieves based on the lessons of the previous generations. They used the incident of pacifying Huangchao in the last years of the Tang Dynasty as a reference to give advice to the cabinet bigwigs. The intention is to use the experience of the previous generation to show that the Tang Dynasty pacified a large-scale popular uprising like Huangchao, and it was not enough to rely on generals like Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, but also to borrow the Shatuo soldiers used by Li Ke to recruit traitors like Zhu Wen, and the hope of the dynasty was prosperous.

Among them, Chen Zhenhui, Hou Fangyu, Huang Zongxi and others lobbied the most diligently, Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, including Ma Shiying and other cabinet bigwigs, who gradually began to lean towards this strategy and began to discuss how to put this strategy into action.

However, these have nothing to do with Wang Shixun, the suppression of the pro-army guard town, last time because of the obstruction of the cabinet, Zhu Youhua had to change his mind and changed Wang Shixun's position to that of the pro-army pacification officer. The suppression is a military position, or it is subordinate to the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and the emperor appoints his own pro-army generals, and those courtiers have nothing to say.

The official office that serves as the yamen of the guard town is not big, not far from the imperial city, there are people everywhere, and from time to time there are official documents transmitted back and forth, Wang Shixun keeps sketching on the paper, the scribes are crackling and playing abacus to reconcile, and everyone is busy nervously.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the yamen of the guard town, and after a while, a few people entered the courtyard, the first one, with a white face and no beard, wearing a round-necked red robe, wearing a black veil on his head, and leather boots on his feet.

"Master Tian is coming, and the students are far away." Wang Shixun laughed and stepped forward to arch his hand. Because of the physical and mental incompleteness, there are many taboos in speaking and acting, so in terms of title, they generally follow the rules of officialdom in the Ming Dynasty, and the following three grades are routinely called "master".

Tian Cheng smiled at Wang Shixun and bowed, and said, "Wang Zhenfu, let's meet again." ”

After a few words of greeting, Tian Cheng read out the emperor's edict ordering him to enter the palace to discuss the soldiers of the new army guarding the town and the matter of food and salary.

Wang Shixun had already prepared, and when he heard this, he knelt down and kowtowed: "The ministers will thank you." ”

"Put on your official uniform and follow our family into the palace."

"Okay, Master Tian wait a while, and the students will go to the inner room to change their clothes first." After speaking, he turned around and entered the inner room, and after a while, Wang Shixun came out wearing a black veil and a patch uniform.

He arched his hand at Tian Cheng and said, "Master Tian, we can go." ”

Tian Cheng nodded, and then the eunuchs opened the way in front, Tian Cheng took Wang Shixun and entered the palace from the noon gate, and when they came to the palace of the Qianqing Palace, the emperor was already sitting on the throne of the dragon and waiting. There are eunuchs behind the throne, palace maids holding umbrellas and fans, and there are four pro-army guards standing on both sides of the throne.

Two one-person-high bronze crane incense burners are emitting fine smoke, the hall is full of strange incense, and there are two lines of pro-army guards standing outside the hall, and the honor guard in their hands is shining golden in the rising sun in the morning.

Wang Shixun with the position of a guard to calm down, on the Danqi to the emperor to pay homage, he bowed his head and knelt on the ground paved with white marble, waiting for questioning, heard the small yellow door to call him into the hall, he quickly got up, bowed down from the left side of the steps, walked into the hall, saluted again, and did not dare to raise his head. Although he had expected it before, when he really entered the majestic palace, Wang Shixun still felt a huge pressure coming towards him, making him dare not raise his head.

The inner supervisor Tian Cheng came to Zhu Youhua, knelt down, and said sharply: "Qi Shengshang, Wang Zhenfu has been brought." ”

Zhu Youhua nodded, "Let's be flat, you don't have to be formal." His hands were raised, motioning for Wang Shixun to get up.

"Come on, give Wang Aiqing a seat."

After speaking, a small inner supervisor brought a chair and put it in the west head.

Wang Shixun carefully sat on the chair given to him by Zhu Youhua, with a respectful expression.

For a while, Zhu Youhua didn't speak, and looked at Wang Shixun up and down carefully, this Wang Shixun is in his forties, with a clear complexion, a long beard and beautiful hair, a round neck and a red belt of official boots, and his appearance is really good, and he was completely two people when he was in trouble, after looking at it, he asked gently: "Aiqing, how is the preparation for the food and salary problem in Guard Town?" ”
