Although there are several large battalions of the Beijing Division, although the fixed number of troops is more than 100,000 horses, there are more than 100,000 officers and soldiers of the second class in the Spring and Autumn Period. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, after all kinds of ills and the emperor's move to the south, it is really difficult to say how many soldiers and horses there are. The number of soldiers in the Beijing camp has always been a confused account, especially when he learned that Li Zicheng's million-strong army was coming!

A few days later, the thieves went to the Jingshi Da'an Station.

The state and county are appointed on behalf of each official, and each official sends the card to the state and county, and many places have come to the new dynasty, taking advantage of the situation to chase it, holding incense to welcome the guide, and the wind is crazy from far and near.

In the Forbidden City, all the ministers and workers of the black pressure stood silently, and they only felt sad and helpless in their hearts.

Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo who stayed behind in Beijing, claimed to be the descendant of a famous general of the dynasty, but in fact he was just a son of a gentleman.

(Zhu Chunchen (?) --1644), a nobleman in the late Ming Dynasty, hereditary Chengguo Gong. The ancestor was Zhu Neng, a famous general, who made countless meritorious contributions in the southern and northern wars, became the prince of the country, and posthumously crowned the king of Dongping after his death. ）

In the original history, Zhu Chunchen offered Qihuamen (that is, Chaoyangmen) and persuaded Chen Yan to advance. surrendered Li Zicheng, but within a few days, after letting Li Zicheng steal his family and make a fortune, the whole family was executed.

At this time, Emperor Zhu Zilong moved south.

The hundred officials in Beijing immediately retracted into the mansion, closed their doors, and never asked about the world. Most of the people who can run are clean officials and the like, corrupt officials and corrupt officials have rich family backgrounds, and many family properties cannot be taken away, and they have no time to take them away, so they can only resign themselves to their fate here.

Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, heard that Li Zicheng might come to attack in the near future.

In addition to being scared to pee, in order to protect his family wealth, he could only sit in the Yamen of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and after discussing with a military attache of the Beijing camp for a long time, he finally discussed some regulations.

The next day, he ordered all the soldiers and horses in Beijing to go to the city and defend it tightly.

At the same time, there is no peace of mind. The messengers and handymen of the various yamen of the Beijing division were ordered to go to the city to defend the city together.

and, hanging lanterns at the door of each house to strictly prevent spies; Everyone is not allowed to walk around the street at will, and offenders will be questioned and jailed immediately!

It's just that it sounds like a good command, but it's not an egg.

There is no son of heaven in the capital, and the prestige of the imperial court is gone in the capital. The errand officials of the various yamen ruthlessly let the remaining officials and Cheng Guogong experience what it means to put thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, Yang Fengyin and Yin, who wouldn't?

In the past, they were disobedient to the emperor and empress, but now it is the turn of others to disobey them.

In the end, Ding Zhuang, a reluctant part of the people in Beijing, let the messengers be requisitioned, and they were driven to the city to garrison in a trembling manner.

However, can these people, who are not even militiamen, help defend the city together?

…………

At this moment, the Daming Jingshi is not far away.

At the foot of the mountain, the martial arts arena is huge, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses can be arranged. However, there are a lot of soldiers and horses in Dashun State, there were 800,000 people some time ago, and now there may be 900,000, so it is true to claim one million, but cannon fodder accounts for the majority.

Li Zicheng doesn't know the real specific numbers, and neither do the younger brothers under his command. I just know how many old battalion soldiers I have!

The old battalion is an elite soldier selected from hundreds of thousands of troops. Everyone has seen blood, killed hundreds of people, and thrown it in peacetime, that is what it means to be an extreme terrorist of cloth.

These people formed a huge military formation, and it was really a sea of people, banners like a forest, and the array they arranged was endless. Aggressive!

The military parade here is also the meaning of Li Zicheng.

It means that the official capture of the capital of the Ming Dynasty has historical significance, and he even thinks that this is a good name for their Dashun country.

On the stage, Li Zicheng was wearing the costume of the Ming Dynasty prince (snatched from the Ming Dynasty prince's mansion that was attacked. ）

He sat on the king's chair in high spirits, flanked by dense Shun generals, six government officials, and local officials of the Ming Dynasty who surrendered. There are also a few breaths that seem like the founding of the country!

Below the stage are the dense old battalion generals and soldiers, as well as countless cannon fodder soldiers, in terms of quantity, they can be regarded as alternative people and strong horses.

Farther away, there were a large number of local gentry and celebrities who called for the ceremony. (If you don't come, you'll kill your whole family, if you don't come, you won't.) You have to cooperate with Li Zicheng than to outfit it)!

Some of these people have complicated expressions, while others are excited.

For the landlords, Li Zicheng is no longer all killed, as long as he surrenders quickly, he can still keep some people alive and work for him as a traitor. Obviously, this is because now he thinks that he is going to open the country, so he keeps pace with the times.

Such a grand style immediately makes everyone have a lot of ideas in their hearts.

"Alas, is it possible, this Ming Dynasty is really going to change the dynasty?"

On the stage, Niu Jinxing, the new prime minister of Dashun Kingdom, who was standing next to Li Zicheng, was reading the edict of the expedition with high ambitions.

"Zhu Ming is isolated, and there are many people who are like a lot of people, and those who are more loyal to the party than the party are in the crowd. The fat of Lu Zuo is exhausted. The princes all eat meat and hakama to oppress the people, and the private ones rely on the heart, and the eunuchs know the disgusting dogs and dolphins, and use their ears and eyes to dominate the world...... On the side of the Qing Dynasty today, there is no intention of establishing a country, and only seeks to establish it on the side of Shanxi. ”

The meaning of this edict is actually that I have no intention of being the emperor, but there are too many villains on the side of Mingjun, and the people who harm them are worse than death.

So, I stood up for the people and petitioned for the people, and now the same is true for taking the capital. If, afterwards, the emperor can let me establish myself as king in Shanxi and other provinces, we will continue to do other things.

This is what it means to give yourself a justifiable name and recruit yourself.

In fact, Li Zicheng did not have such great ambitions in his original history.

At that time, Li Zicheng's army had surrounded the Beijing division, and before the siege, Li Zicheng sent a peace letter to Chongzhen, as long as Chongzhen named himself the king of the northwest, and the marquis was torn apart.

And send 1 million taels of silver, you can return to the northwest and obey the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and call Chongzhen the emperor, and never harass the other territories of the Ming Dynasty, only to secede.

This is something that is inconceivable to modern people in the history books of later generations.

Because modern people do not have an emperor on their heads, they do not have three mountains, and they do not have much reverence for the emperor.

Therefore, modern people in later generations have always been a little puzzled, why did Chongzhen refuse, and Li himself became such a generous peace negotiation condition?

Just promise, this peace talk.

can not only keep the Ming court, but also keep his own dragon court, and he is still the emperor in terms of name. Moreover, Li Zicheng nominally showed obedience, Chongzhen's rule, called the "King of the Northwest", both face and lining, why did Chongzhen refuse?

If he did not agree, Li Zicheng could go straight to the capital, that is, the moment when Li had already occupied the absolute dominance of the war. did not go directly to Beijing to claim the emperor, but handed over the peace negotiation documents, asking Emperor Chongzhen to be crowned king, there will be absolutely no fraud, Chongzhen still did not agree.

Throughout the past, whether it was Li Zicheng or Chongzhen, they were all tm middle two, brain-dead, right?

But it's not surprising to think about it.

Li Ziyuan himself is a wandering character, he has no confidence in being the emperor, and when he was blocked by Sun Chuanting in the attack on Tongguan and couldn't fight hard, he even thought of not fighting and withdrawing his troops back.

There is self-knowledge, not a piece of material.

It's only why later, but I think about the emperor again, I just blame it for being smooth sailing for too long, and the Ming Dynasty is too unlucky.

On the other hand, Chongzhen made two military mistakes: first, fighting on two fronts, no matter what, he must negotiate peace with the Later Jin, in fact, in the early days of Chongzhen, the Later Jin and Li Zicheng did not have the confidence to seize the Ming Dynasty, and they both had the nature of being rogues, as long as they negotiated peace with the Later Jin. Then just go all out to deal with the civil uprising!

Second, in view of the area affected by the disaster and the long duration of the disaster, the military will kill all the people in the civil uprising, whether they surrender or not. This would reduce the population and prevent a recurrence of civil unrest.

After all, none of these people have a plug-in like Zhu Zilong that can be traversed, and if they don't do this, it will be inevitable that everyone will finish playing.

……

At this moment, Li Zicheng has decided to march into Beijing.

Although there are many soldiers and horses, Li Zicheng is not worried about grain and grass. Because in the past to the north, there are too many counties and counties in the state, and any one of them can solve the big problems needed by the army.

What's more, you can also use the big cake of laying down the capital and there will be a good reward to boost morale.

The only thing that worries him is that the Beijing division is strong and there are many guards, even if the emperor is gone. There are a lot of internal responses, and they may not be able to attack for a while. Once the war becomes a protracted war, his army of thieves may change for a long time.

At most, in two or three months, the capital must be laid, and it is possible to cooperate with Houjin, and it will be good to start and finish, otherwise the consequences are difficult to say.

In Chinese history, going north to take the Beijing division was full of dangers, and only Zhu Yuanzhang did it.

Li Zicheng's situation is somewhat similar to that time, but it is somewhat different. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, I have the plan not to be the emperor for the time being, and I just want to make a real king afterwards as a way out.

After the edict was read, the military array below let out an earth-shattering cry:

"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! "Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! "Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! ”

"Long live the Great Shun Heavenly King!" "Long live the Great Shun Heavenly King!" "Long live the Great Shun Heavenly King!"

The overwhelming sound of long live rose wave after wave, and the huge whistling sound rose to the sky. Let the people who watch the ceremony unconsciously tremble all over their bodies.

The generals of each battalion, Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang, Liu Xiyao, Yuan Zongdi, Li Guo and others were proud, and they were determined that the capture of the capital would inevitably succeed. The strong army of the Ming army was all contained by Houjin near Shanhaiguan, and some other strong troops were also contained in the border passes and other places.

For them, it's a heavenly opportunity!

Those Ming Dynasty officials and generals who surrendered were also stunned by the picture in front of them. sighed: "The righteous army is so elite, it seems that the destruction of the Ming Dynasty is not a problem." Our act of surrender is still a good bird to perch on! ”

"Let's take a look at the Beijing division first, wait for some time, the new dynasty will soon be established, and then we will all be heroes from the dragon."

Half a day later, Li Zicheng's military parade ended.

The army is moving, the people are noisy and the horses are neighing, the flag covers the sky, and the line is like a long dragon, but it is also a little bit of the new dynasty atmosphere on the surface.

Li Zicheng saw that the flag was like a sea, and the tide of people was constantly marching, and he was secretly proud.

At the same time, he was excited and a little dazed, was he really going to destroy the Ming Dynasty?

It is said that it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to sit in the world.

Whenever night comes, Li Zicheng will also think. If the army can't rob from time to time, there must be many problems, and even internal divisions, and this country can't rob everywhere. Did you really do it yourself?
