Chapter 874: Outside and Inside

Li Zicheng's corpse and Liu Zongmin's corpse were placed in front of him.

Zheng Xunrui looked very carefully, and his expression was very solemn, this person who was called a great man in history, just lay quietly in front of Zheng Xunrui, not to speak, let alone argue passionately.

When he just crossed, Zheng Xunrui thought that one day he would put down the peasant uprising, these peasant rebels, the imperial court would turn them into rogues, and he didn't care at first, but these rogues, the emperor who was high above was forced to hang himself by the rogues, from this point of view, the peasant uprising still has its great power.

In his bones, Zheng Xunrui is not optimistic about the peasant uprising, all the peasant uprisings in history, regardless of their scale, and no matter how large the scope of their impact, ultimately ended in failure, all of which have something to do with the leaders of the peasant uprisings in the past, these leaders of the peasant uprisings, when they rebelled, shared the same fate with the common people, but once they grasped a certain amount of power, their arrogance and lasciviousness were jaw-dropping, they were more crazy than the officials who grew up with scholars, and the exploitation of the common people was more severe.

People need to have knowledge, maybe there are a few natural great men, but these great people in the process of growth, also need to continue to learn, continuous progress, in order to be able to conform to the trend of history, the leaders of the peasant uprising in the past, in this regard is the most lacking, they rebelled with a wave of enthusiasm, but can not really overcome the narrowness in the bones, in the face of the temptation of rich material life, they simply can not control themselves, rapid degeneration.

Textbooks have countless analyses of the peasant uprising, and no matter how much praise they have, they all talk about one point, that is, the limitations of the peasant uprising, in Zheng Xunrui's view. A lot of the analysis is implicit in this limitation.

Zheng Xunrui ordered the burial of Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin.

At this point, Zheng Jiajun ended the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and most of the leaders of the peasant uprising were directly exterminated by Zheng Jiajun, and they do not know the future history. How will Zheng Jiajun's merits and demerits be commented.

There is also a very urgent thing in front of us, that is, the Eight Banners Army that has occupied Shanhaiguan and is coming towards Shuntianfu, according to normal analysis, the Zheng Jiajun should not rest at this moment, and must continue to fight and launch a large-scale attack on the Eight Banners Army, at least the Eight Banners Army needs to be driven out of Shanhaiguan.

However, Zheng Xunrui did not give this order, leaving 20,000 troops to garrison Tongzhou. The rest of the army is divided into the capital.

On April 25, Zheng Xunrui returned to the capital, and he still did not enter the palace, but convened everyone in Wenyuan Pavilion.

The information detected by the scouts was already in the hands of Zheng Xunrui, and the pursuing Eight Banners Army stopped at Yongping Mansion, probably knowing the news that the Zheng family army had entered Beizhili and occupied the capital, as for the Zheng family army, it completely defeated the Dashun army. Whether the Eight Banners know about it or not is another matter.

The deliberations have just begun. The words of the public are all asking Zheng Jiajun to quickly go to Yongping Mansion and drive the Eight Banners Army out of Shanhaiguan.

This suggestion is good, Shanhaiguan is the gateway to the capital, if the Eight Banners Army occupies Shanhaiguan, then the capital is in danger all the time. The Eight Banners may come to attack at some point.

Looking at everyone's heated discussions and suggestions, Zheng Xunrui has been very quiet.

After everyone finally quieted down, Zheng Xunrui spoke.

"Is Shanhaiguan really that important?"

Zheng Xunrui's words made Wenyuan Pavilion quiet down instantly, because Zheng Xunrui's tone was very harsh.

"Da Ming is weak. Only rely on the Guanning Jin defense line to defend the capital, if our Zheng army also fell into such a situation, even if it has Shanhaiguan, how can it defend against foreign invasion, this majestic Great Wall, used to defend the grassland tribes, is really that indestructible, Chongzhen's first year to seventeen years, the Eight Banners Army entered the pass several times to plunder, especially Chongzhen's fifteenth year, come and go freely, without scruples, try to ask Shanhaiguan and the Great Wall to defend them. ”

"I don't deny the importance of the Guanningjin defense line, and I also admit that the role of Shanhaiguan is extraordinary, but our Zheng Jiajun will never be able to rely on these passes to defend against foreign invaders, and the best way for us to deal with foreign invaders is to completely exterminate him."

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has a saying, those who offend my Han Dynasty, although they are far away, they will be punished, Zheng Jiajun is also this belief, there are those who dare to offend my land, although they are far away, Liaodong is our land, the grassland is our land, and Jianyu is also our land, on our land, only the existence of Zheng Jiajun, and any other army must be completely exterminated."

"You suggested attacking the Eight Banners Army, this suggestion is good, but everyone said that the Eight Banners Army would be driven out of Shanhaiguan, I don't understand, and I don't agree with such an idea, of course I don't blame you, we know that you are unintentional."

"Once upon a time, the bravery of the Eight Banners Army made the Ming Dynasty change color, the Jurchens were dissatisfied with ten thousand, and they were invincible, such rumors filled the north and south, so that the army of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to face the Eight Banners Army, and even fled from the wind."

"I think you have also continued this understanding, thinking that the Eight Banners Army is brave, but unfortunately this understanding is a joke in my opinion."

"The Zheng family army must completely exterminate the Eight Banners Army and end their lair, the so-called Great Qing Kingdom, like the Dashun Army that was defeated the day before yesterday, the final outcome is annihilation."

A single pin in the room can be alarming.

Everyone was shocked by Zheng Xunrui's arrogance, and it was not until this time that they discovered what it means to be proud of the world, what is called to be arrogant, looking at the whole world, only Zheng Xunrui has such confidence and domineering.

In the face of the formidable Zheng Jiajun, the Eight Banners Army is not a nightmare, but an opponent who must be defeated.

After a long time, Wen Zhenheng spoke.

"Hearing His Royal Highness's words, the lower officials are ashamed, the lower officials really want to see the day when the Zheng family army completely exterminates the Eight Banners Army, but the current situation is worrying, Shanxi and Henan still have rogue circles, these small groups of rogue must be completely exterminated, otherwise after the group is formed, it will harm the place, the suggestion of the lower official, the court issued a will, requiring all these rogue to surrender, those who are willing to surrender, the court will not be held accountable, and those who continue to make trouble will be completely exterminated."

"Beizhili is full of mourning, and the people have almost no way to live, and they urgently need to be stabilized, so that the capital can be completely stable."

"From this level, Beizhili needs to be stable and takes time, and the lower officials think that the Eight Banners Army occupies Shanhaiguan, which is a huge hidden danger for the stability of Beizhili, and now it is incomparable to drive the Eight Banners Army out of Shanhaiguan......"

Wen Zhenheng's qualifications are not ordinary, and it is not a big deal to say such words in front of Zheng Xunrui, not to mention that what Wen Zhenheng said is reasonable.

Wen Zhenheng's words involve the issue of the outside and the inside.

North Zhili is in devastation, Shanxi and Henan and other places close to North Zhili, and they have not stabilized, the stability of the south can not replace the stability of the north, the Zheng army has occupied the capital, it needs to stabilize the results, and when the north is completely stabilized, the Zheng army can make a large-scale attack and give the Eight Banners Army a devastating blow.

In fact, this is also Zheng Xunrui's thoughts, Zheng Xunrui's words just now are just to remind everyone not to think how terrible the Eight Banners Army is, and it is inevitable that the Zheng Family Army will defeat and exterminate the Eight Banners Army.

"What Master Wen said is very good, this time is stability, we have three things that must be started immediately, the first is to drive the Eight Banners Army out of Shanhaiguan, the second is to completely exterminate the remnants of the Dashun Army, and the third is to stabilize Beizhili, Shanxi and Henan."

"Zheng Jinhong, Hong Xintao, you lead 50,000 Zheng family army soldiers from the direction of Tongzhou and Xianghe, and advance towards Yongping Mansion, remember to fight steadily and steadily, drive the Eight Banners Army out of Shanhaiguan, and after arriving at Shanhaiguan, leave 20,000 soldiers to garrison."

"Yang He, you led 20,000 soldiers of the Zheng family army to begin to purge the remnants of the Dashun army, starting from Beizhili, and then extending to Shanxi and Henan, your actions should be fast, and the soldiers of the Dashun army who are willing to surrender should be disbanded on the spot, and the personnel will be dispersed and resettled in the south, so that they will be under the supervision of the Zheng family army, and the remnants of the stubborn resistance will be resolutely exterminated."

"Lord Yang, Lord Wen, you immediately discuss, draft a document, and order the Caoyun Governor's Mansion to quickly transfer the Cao grain to Beizhili, the Cao grain transported this time, at least 500,000 stones, have grain in your hands, and do not panic, so as to stabilize the situation in the north."

"The relocation of Nanjing has begun, but the government at all levels can not wait, what should be done must be done, and it must be done in a hurry, the north has suffered too many natural and man-made disasters, and the people can not stand the toss, if we can not stabilize the north, can not stabilize the north Zhili, our fate is not much better than Li Zicheng, and we will leave in disgrace." ……

Zheng Xunrui really wants to start a decisive battle with the Eight Banners Army, in his heart, Huang Taiji is his real opponent, but the actual situation he can face requires him to be calm, the devastated Beizhili must be stable, if the expedition continues, then the Beizhili will collapse in a very short time, and when the time comes, it will not only cost time and money, but also almost irretrievable people's hearts.

Wen Zhenheng's suggestion is unusually correct, ginger is old and spicy.

The most important thing, Zheng Xunrui can't not think about it, that is, he must ascend to the throne and be the emperor.

This is the need of the situation, Zheng Xunrui can't shirk, once he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, the people's hearts will be able to unite in the shortest possible time, and the next thing to do will be much smoother.

When the discussion was basically over, before Zheng Xunrui could speak, Yang Tingshu and Wen Zhenheng led everyone to stand up, and they all knelt down, and they implored Zheng Xunrui to ascend the throne and become emperor.

This time, Zheng Xunrui was not polite and told everyone that after the relocation of Nanjing was completed, he would choose the right time to ascend the throne. (To be continued.) )
