Chapter 488: Entering Beijing
The surrender of Jiang Wang and Wang changed the situation in the north in an instant, and Wu Sangui, who was still thinking about whether to send troops back to the capital, immediately changed his mind and replied to Chongzhen on the grounds of Jin Jin's invasion.
Chongzhen and other ministers, after reading the reply, not only did not punish Wu Sangui, but also boasted that he understood the righteousness, and he couldn't leave at this time, and if he left, he would let Houjin take advantage of it.
In fact, the hypocrites of the Donglin Party have already guessed that Wu Sangui will not return to Beijing, and now that the general soldiers from all walks of life have surrendered and disarmed, will he Wu Sangui answer incorrectly to the end, this kind of thing will never happen, and it can even be said that Wu Sangui is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to come.
As long as Li Zicheng can enter Beijing smoothly, this opportunity will come, and the Donglin Party people are not waiting for an opportunity, they are also waiting for Li Zicheng to enter Beijing, so as to continue to maintain their high-ranking back road, but they don't know that Li Zicheng will kill them in the end.
Li Zicheng's army, which was smooth sailing, was finally about to enter Beijing, but Zhang Xianzhong, who was another powerful force, suddenly broke through Chengdu, stationed in Bashu, proclaimed himself the king of Daxi, and established a great hope dynasty in history.
Through the eyes of the public, the changes in time events caused by his arrival also paid more attention to Da Minglai, because Li Zicheng had already announced his entry into Beijing.
As soon as the news came out, Chongzhen did not feel afraid, but lightly laughed at the thief's whimsical imagination and Tiankai.
Whether Li Zicheng is whimsical or what, but there is no resistance to his entry into Beijing, coupled with Wu Sangui's wait-and-see, it will directly lead to the early demise of the Ming Dynasty.
Although the trend of surrender was falling at this time, the south was still relatively stable at this time, and there were no excessive fluctuations. In history, several princes of the Zhu family who were supported as emperors have not officially appeared on the stage of history.
There are still quarrels in the court, and at this time, the Donglin party can be said to have completely pressed their chips on the new court, looking forward to Li Zicheng's entry into Beijing to give them an official and a knight.
However, after Li Zicheng incorporated the troops of Jiang Wang and the others, he did not immediately enter Beijing, but carried out a purge and replenishment of the troops, making the number more than 500,000.
It is claimed that 500,000 troops entered the capital. and sent someone to write a letter to Chongzhen, asking him to obey the will of heaven and abdicate to make way for Xian, so as to avoid the suffering of the people.
Chongzhen naturally will not abdicate, but scolds the thieves for being shameless, and those guys who defect to Li Zicheng are greedy for life and death, and at the same time recruit people who dare to fight.
said that it was a conscription, but Chongzhen, who had no money, couldn't gather people at all, even if there were enthusiastic young people willing to join. But in the end, you will have to give up because you don't have a weapon.
If you want to raise donations from those Donglin Party ministers, you can't even think about it, even if Chongzhen eats two meals a day, it will not be enough to recruit new troops again.
At the moment, it is impossible for the troops in the towns to be used, and it would be very good if these people did not turn against each other on the battlefield, let alone at this time.
In order to let the soldiers work hard to resist Li Zicheng, Chongzhen can be regarded as having made a bloody investment, and all kinds of verbal rewards have been stingy, this kind of verbal thing that does not use physical objects. As long as they can resist with all their might, it would be very good.
But even so, it didn't have much effect. Those generals who commanded the army seemed to have seen that the Ming Dynasty's qi was exhausted, and it was a dead end for them to continue to consume like this, not long after Jiang Wang and the others surrendered, and then several town commanders and county prefects took people to Li Zicheng.
The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to Chongzhen, and it also makes Shen Youlong, who is in the south, feel that something is wrong, and Liangguang is in his own hands. If something bad happens in the north, then it is certain that the south will be plunged into a brief chaos, and it seems that you must be prepared in advance.
Recruitment for the Forces nouvelles is in the final stages and physical training is under way. Another work is also underway, which is the system of tax reform, which is currently supported by the majority of businessmen.
A week ago, Zhang Tianwen prepared a letter to Shen Youlong through the consulate, the content of the letter was to remind him to be prepared, Li Zicheng was likely to enter Beijing, and then the world of the Ming Dynasty would fall into a more chaotic situation, and there was also a possibility that Li Zicheng would go to war with Wu Sangui.
These secrets can be said to be obtained and analyzed by the Australians through their own intelligence network, Shen Youlong is afraid that the Australians have such a powerful intelligence network in Daming, if they really have any intentions against Daming, I am afraid that Daming has no power to fight back at all.
Although these reminders are somewhat appalling, given the current situation, there is a real possibility, and there is a very high possibility.
Although he is the governor of Liangguang and supervises the military affairs of Liangguang, he actually has not many troops in his hands, and there is no such possibility even if he wants to go to the rescue, so Shen Youlong still pins his hopes on the new army, and only this army can be mobilized in the strict sense.
The weapons and ammunition shipped from Australia have been stored in the arsenal, and the Australians can be said to attach great importance to the new army of Liangguang, which is strictly related to the future Ming National Defense Force.
There are not a few people in the south who are preparing like Shen Youlong, and the Zheng family in Fujian is said to have prepared that once Li Zicheng invades the capital, Chongzhen will immediately support the Tang King to ascend the throne.
But no matter what he thinks, Australia has already set a place for him, he can only go to South Vietnam to develop, and like Zheng Cai, the future of Nanming must be managed by Shen Yulong, the reform-minded governor is the future head of the cabinet.
Australians have secretly drawn up a support plan, and there is a list of these people who will need to recruit the future Nanming government.
Just when Shen Youlong and Nanfang and other general soldiers were quietly watching the changes, Li Zicheng's claimed army of 500,000 entered the capital. Unhindered all the way, it only took a short ten days to officially enter the capital.
This year is February 21, 1644, the historical record is that the thieves entered Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on the coal mountain, the historical situation has not changed, but the time is two months early, and what will happen next, whether it will continue to develop towards the historical situation, the people who travel are also very curious, but it is certain that Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng have fallen into a state of hostility.
