Chapter 164: Sorrow Urges Great Shun

Xi'an City, Imperial Palace

"Changping, how is it, what did Shi Lei say, and is there any news about your father." Looking at Zhu Weiyuan, who was hurrying back, Queen Zhou, hurriedly pulled her aside and asked in a low voice.

Seeing the anxious look on Queen Zhou's face, Zhu Weiyuan didn't know how to speak for a while, if the queen mother knew that her father had died, she didn't know what the consequences would be, with the love between her father and her mother for many years, if the queen mother couldn't think about it for a while, wouldn't she become a sinner for the ages.

"Why, does that kid really have any different intentions, or does he have some excessive conditions." Seeing Zhu Weiyuan's embarrassed expression, Queen Zhou was speechless for a long time, and asked a little anxiously.

"No, no, no, Queen Mother, no, Brother Shi has promised to support Cihong to ascend the throne in the future, but, father, father...... He. Hearing that Queen Zhou misunderstood Shi Lei, Zhu Weiyuan hurriedly explained, but after talking for a long time, she couldn't go on.

"Ah, Queen Mother, Queen Mother, be careful, be careful, sit down quickly." Although Zhu Weiyuan's words were not finished, Queen Zhou still heard the meaning of the words, although she was already prepared in her heart, but after getting the exact news at this time, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, and she felt that her eyes were dark, and her body couldn't help but fall.

No wonder Empress Zhou is like this, she and Emperor Chongzhen are also a more loving couple among the emperors and queens in history, since the marriage in their teens, the two have been respectful to each other, raising their eyebrows, even if Chongzhen became the emperor later, but for Queen Zhou, she loved her as always, and did not change because of the change of identity, which is also a good story.

Now, the other half, who was originally dependent on each other, has just left, and it is estimated that no one can stand it.

Fortunately, before Queen Zhou fell, Zhu Weiyuan, who had already been prepared, caught her in advance, and then with the help of the maids, after putting Queen Zhou on the bed, after some nervous rescue, Queen Zhou woke up faintly, but when she woke up, she woke up, but as soon as she opened her eyes, Queen Zhou began to cry bitterly, seeing Queen Zhou's painful appearance, Zhu Weiyuan, who had already let go, couldn't help crying, for a while, the entire palace compound was full of crying, at the same time, The news of Chongzhen's death spread all over the world, and for a while, there were cries everywhere.

Just when the whole world was crying bitterly for Chongzhen's death, Beizhili Shunde Mansion was in a panic at this time, coming and going everywhere were scattered soldiers, and they stayed in groups of three or five, with a distracted expression on their faces.

This is the place of the temporary commander of the Dashun Army, since it is a stone place outside the Shanhai Pass, Li Zicheng was caught off guard by the Manchu Eight Banners Army because of carelessness, and the entire Dashun Army has completely gone downhill.

Originally, Li Zicheng wanted to leave Shanhaiguan first, and then mobilize elite soldiers and strong generals from Beijing City to completely block the invasion of the Manchu Eight Banners, but what he didn't expect was that a big defeat completely wiped out the morale of the entire Dashun army.

In this case, Li Zicheng, who originally planned to rely on Beijing City to resist the Manchu Eight Banner Army, under the persuasion of Niu Jinxing, hurriedly ascended the throne and became emperor, gave up Beijing City, and came to the south.

Although there are not many soldiers and horses under Wu Sangui, more than 20,000 people, but they are all elite Guanning iron cavalry, although in the city defense, the power of these elite cavalry, can not be seen, but in this kind of pursuit battle, but completely exerted their power, in addition to the low morale of the Dashun army itself, hundreds of thousands of Dashun troops were actually pursued by more than 20,000 Guanning iron cavalry There is no way to enter the ground, and in desperation, many generals who originally had different intentions took away their soldiers and surrendered to Wu Sangui, and in turn chased and killed Li Zicheng.

In this case, Li Zicheng had to run south with a large army, and when he arrived at Shunde Mansion, which was hundreds of miles away from the capital, Li Zicheng finally settled down, and after continuous fighting, Wu Sangui and Guanning Iron Cavalry were also a little tired, so they also stopped pursuing.

"Tell me what we should do next." In the big tent, the atmosphere was extremely depressing, and everyone was cautiously looking at the ground, not even daring to come out.

"Your Majesty, the top priority now is to find a way to deal with Wu Sangui, a traitor, and then we can have time to determine the purpose of the next step, otherwise, we will end up worrying. In addition, now we should quickly gather troops, speaking of which, we still have hundreds of thousands of troops, but we can't find generals, we won't be able to find soldiers, if we continue like this, we don't need Wu Sangui to fight, and we ourselves will be completely finished. It was Liu Zongmin who spoke, because he was seriously injured when he was on a rock, so now he is half-lying on a recliner and talking.

With Liu Zongmin's beginning, another general in charge of logistics said, "Your Majesty, because we came out of Beijing City in too much hurry, there is not much food and baggage left now, if we don't think of a way, I'm afraid that in a few days, the army will run out of food." ”

Hearing that there were so many things for a while, Li Zicheng's head felt painful, these days, although it seems that he deals with things with a serious face every day, but the real situation is only known to him, these days he has been in a state of confusion.

He never thought that when he was about to reach the pinnacle of the world, he quickly fell down because of a small mistake, although now he only lost Beijing City, but after all, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, and there are hundreds of cities, which is much stronger than when he fled to Shangluo Mountain after the defeat of the army.

Therefore, many people persuaded him one after another, saying that he should not be discouraged, as long as he settled down internally, neither Wu Sangui nor the Manchu Eight Banners would be his opponents, every time he heard this, Li Zicheng's heart felt a little ridiculous, because he knew that he no longer had that day, and what he once had would never return to him.

Not for anything else, because after enjoying the feeling of giving and taking, he no longer has the indomitable spirit that he once had, and he will not give up until he reaches his goal, and the current world does not have the kind of natural disasters that were at that time, and the disaster victims are everywhere, and there is no source of troops without displaced people, and in addition to the loss of a stable rear, the Dashun army will definitely become weaker and weaker over time, of course, although he understands it in his heart, Li Zicheng did not give up, but wanted to gamble with this last bet, if it is done, He is still the lord of the world, and if he fails, it is nothing more than a death.

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng finally sobered up a little, and his tone returned to his previous firmness, "The matter is in these things, you all talk about it, what should we do now, how can we repel the pursuit of Wu Sangui's dog thieves in the first place, and then, we should go there next, Xi'an must not be able to go back, according to the news from the spies, Xi'an City has been broken by the Ming army, so, where are we going to go next, you all talk about it!" ”

Hearing Li Zicheng's words, there was a sudden commotion in the originally calm tent, everyone did not expect that their big rear, which was originally thought to be the most reliable place, is now gone, thinking of this, many generals who were originally full of passion suddenly had a gloomy face, if the loss of Beijing City, these people have nothing, then the loss of Xi'an City, the blow to these people is very fatal.

Seeing the gloomy look on the faces of many generals, Li Zicheng didn't say anything, at this critical time to say the loss of Xi'an, of course, it is worse, many people will not be able to bear it, but if you keep this secret now, and wait until it is spread in the future, it may lead to more unpredictable consequences.

"Okay, okay, everyone be quiet, be quiet, listen to me, although the situation is very critical now, but this is nothing, you all think about it, how long did it take us to fight Jingxiang now, less than three years, in these three years, we defeated Sun Chuanting's 100,000 army, captured Xi'an, and then went all the way north to conquer Beijing City, and now although Beijing City has been lost, Xi'an City has also fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty again, but what is this, as long as we all work hard, soon these will belong to us again, I hope that everyone will not be discouraged, at this critical moment, for the sake of His Majesty, for the sake of Dashun, fight bravely to kill the enemy. It was Li Yan who spoke.

I have to say that Li Yan's prestige is indeed very high in the Dashun army, and after listening to Li Yan's words, the generals who were originally gloomy and a little disheartened also regained their fighting spirit.

Seeing the restored generals, Li Yan nodded secretly, Li Yan was very disagreeable with Li Zicheng's easy abandonment of Beijing City and leading the army south, if it weren't for Li Zicheng listening to Niu Jinxing's words, and thus insisting on going his own way, Li Yan believes that the current Dashun Army will definitely not be what it is now, but since things have come to this point, Li Yan can only try his best to save this group, after all, the establishment of the Dashun Army and the Dashun Kingdom is full of his hard work.
