On 23 April, the Chinese army led by Hong Xintao arrived in Tongzhou.

Zheng Xunrui's order was issued immediately, and all the 100,000 Chinese troops were deployed in Tongzhou, Yingzhou and other places, and Li Zicheng and his army must be annihilated, Yang Tingshu, Wen Zhenheng, Xiong Wencan, Yang Yipeng and others quickly rushed to the capital.

At the time of Shen, Yang Tingshu and others, who were full of fatigue and energy, entered the capital.

Wen Zhenheng concurrently served as the Yingtianfu Ya to maintain the stability of the capital, Zheng Jiajun 10,000 soldiers, leaving 1,000 people stationed in the inner city and the palace, 2,000 people stationed in the outer city, and the remaining 7,000 people all withdrew from the capital and stationed in the original camp of the Beijing camp.

Yang Tingshu and Yang Yipeng stabilized all the officials of the imperial court, and did not consider any adjustment matters at this stage.

Xiong Wencan followed Zheng Xunrui's side and continued the expedition.

After the order was issued, Zheng Xunrui said that he would not discuss other matters for the time being, in fact, he reminded everyone not to mention the matter of enthronement for the time being, but as soon as Zheng Xunrui's words fell, Wen Zhenheng put forward a request, and Yang Tingshu and others also complied.

In desperation, Zheng Xunrui issued the first warrant.

The six departments of Nanjing, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, Guozijian and other departments were all relocated to Beijing, and the six departments of Nanjing and other institutions were all abolished, and the south was directly subordinated to Yingtian Province, Wu Weiye served as the governor, and Gu Menglin served as the prefect of Yingtianfu.

Before the end of May, the relocation was completed, and all relocation matters were handled by Zhou Yanru with Xu Wanghua's assistance.

After the warrant was issued, Zheng Xunrui finally said the matter of Zhu Cihong and others, and there was another matter that embarrassed him, that is, the last holy decree issued by Zhu Youzhen, who had hanged himself, to marry Zhu Huijiao.

Wen Zhenheng and the others looked at Zheng Xunrui as if they didn't know each other.

As soon as Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Wen Zhenheng spoke, Zhu Cihong and the others must not show up at this moment, and must be strictly guarded.

Yang Tingshu and others fully agreed. They originally thought that Zheng Xunrui was preparing to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, who knew that Zheng Xunrui was really ready to protect these special people, and having such thoughts at such a time was a neurosis in the eyes of Wen Zhenheng and others.

And so, a strange scene appeared. Yang Tingshu temporarily presided over the overall situation of the government and immediately issued an order that the relocation of the six departments in Nanjing must be completed in mid-May and should not be delayed.

At this time, Zheng Xunrui had already left the capital and went to Tongzhou.

Some of the thoughts of people who have crossed through are impossible for people to understand today, in their bones. Zheng Xunrui did not regard Zhu Cihong and others as a threat at all, and if the regime was stable, even if Zhu Youzhen came back to life, it would have no effect.

Entering Tongzhou City, the first thing Zheng Xunrui saw was Wu Sangui.

Speaking of which, Wu Sangui was lucky, after leaving Shanhaiguan, with his familiarity with the road, Wu Sangui led his sergeants to flee for his life overnight, and his escape route had long been clear. Take Changli and Luanzhou to insert Lutai, and enter Hejian Mansion through Beitang. It is impossible for Li Zicheng to plant heavy troops on this line.

After passing Luanzhou, Wu Sangui recalled Zheng Xunrui's letter, Zheng Jiajun arrived in Dezhou, Shandong in mid-March, and it was already mid-to-late April, Zheng Jiajun could not always stay in Dezhou, and the emperor had hanged himself. This news spread all over the north and south, and it was impossible for the Zheng family army to stand still, and it should have entered Beizhili.

After thinking of this, Wu Sangui had the mentality of trying it out, after entering the Shuntian Mansion. began to look around for news, but the result made Wu Sangui quite disappointed, people everywhere in Beizhili were panicked, and it was impossible to know any accurate news.

I don't know why, Wu Sangui suddenly decided to go to Yingzhou to have a look, if the Zheng family army wants to enter the capital, Yingzhou is the place to pass, if Yingzhou is still occupied by the Dashun army, then Wu Sangui will not hesitate to evacuate in the direction of Hejian Mansion.

After a long time of running and fleeing, the sergeants under Wu Sangui were scattered a lot, but the Guanning Iron Cavalry that he valued most was still by his side, and in the Battle of a Stone, Wu Sangui lost to the crowd tactics of the Dashun Army, but in terms of bravery, the Guanning Iron Cavalry was still one of the best.

Wu Sangui's tentative decision, let him take a lot of unjust road, Yingzhou has been occupied by the Zheng army, and Tongzhou has also been occupied by the Zheng army, just when Wu Sangui led the soldiers towards Tongzhou, he heard the news that the Zheng army has occupied the capital.

Wu Sangui, who heard the news, was full of cold sweat, he was glad for his decision, if he really took refuge in the Eight Banners Army, he would have become Zheng Xunrui's enemy and the target of the Zheng family's army.

Wu Sangui has just arrived in Tongzhou, and Zheng Xunrui has also come to Tongzhou.

In the barracks of Tongzhou Shenwu Zhongwei, after seeing Zheng Xunrui come in, Wu Sangui knelt down.

He is the military attache of the second grade of the Ming Dynasty, and he is also the martial artist of the Ming Dynasty, after seeing Zheng Xunrui, there is no need to kneel at all, but the smart Wu Sangui kneeled down for Zheng Xunrui without the slightest hesitation, looking at the world, the emperor is either Zheng Xunrui or there is no second person, and when he sees the emperor who is about to ascend the throne, it is a fool not to kneel.

Zheng Xunrui also sighed and lamented Wu Sangui's cleverness, although Wu Sangui in history had a bad reputation.

Since history has changed, the fate of many people will change with it, including Wu Sangui.

Zheng Xunrui did not waste time, and the deployment began immediately, including Wu Sangui also participated.

Zheng Jinhong, Yang He, Wang Xiaoer, Huang Degong, Wu Sangui, and others participated in the discussion.

The map is hung on the wall, and Li Zicheng has three routes to escape, one is to pass through the direction of Zunhua, Pinggu, and Shunyi, bypass the capital, and enter Shanxi from Baozhou, the second is to pass through the direction of Yutian, Xianghe, and Tongzhou, and return to the capital, and the third is to enter Shanxi through the direction of Liangchengsuo, Wuqing, and Zhuozhou, and directly into Baoding Mansion.

Xu Fojia carefully introduced the advantages and disadvantages of each of the three routes, and Yang Aizhen still recorded on the side.

Which route Li Zicheng will take is related to the deployment of the Zheng family's army, and it is also related to whether the Zheng family's army can completely annihilate the Dashun army.

The atmosphere of the discussion was somewhat solemn.

Although the Zheng army has 120,000 troops into the North Zhili, and occupied the capital, but the situation in the North Zhili is still a mess, Shanhaiguan has been occupied by the Eight Banners Army, there are the Dashun Army, the Eight Banners Army and the Zheng Army in the territory of the North Zhili, and the Zheng Army must completely exterminate the Dashun Army and the Eight Banners Army, which is a task that the Zheng Army must complete, otherwise the world will not be able to settle down.

Including Zheng Jinhong, he is not sure which line Li Zicheng will evacuate from, after all, the news that the Zheng family army has entered Beizhili is afraid that it has already spread, and at this moment, the Dashun army under Li Zicheng has entered Shuntian Mansion.

Time was of the essence and a decision had to be made.

All eyes were focused on Zheng Xunrui.

Zheng Xunrui was also thinking, and when he set off from the capital, he had a conclusion in his heart.

"The Zheng Jiajun is deployed between Tongzhou and Xianghe, where they block Li Zicheng and the Dashun army."

Zheng Xunrui's decision shows that Li Zicheng will still choose to return to the capital.

"Li Zicheng has an army of 400,000 under his command, even if he is defeated in a stone and Shanhaiguan, there will still be about 300,000 soldiers under his command, such a huge army, grain and grass are not a trivial matter, and the remaining two routes are also a good choice, but unfortunately Li Zicheng can't support it, if you choose these two routes, I'm afraid it won't take long, and the Dashun army under Li Zicheng will be completely chaotic, and at that time, Li Zicheng will be completely in a desperate situation."

"Choosing to return to the capital, first, it is the nearest route, and secondly, Li Zicheng will not believe that Zheng Jiajun completely controls the capital, he still wants to fight, Li Zicheng in the capital is still tens of millions of taels of silver, he is reluctant."

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on everyone's faces, and they would never doubt the judgment made by Zheng Xunrui.

There is another reason, Zheng Xunrui did not say it, Li Zicheng desperately wanted to return to the capital, because there was still a wish in his heart that had not been realized, that is, to ascend the throne and be the emperor, such a thing is best only done in the capital, for this purpose, Li Zicheng is willing to take risks.

According to the judgment made by Zheng Xunrui, Zheng Jinhong and others immediately began to deploy, leaving 10,000 Zheng family soldiers in Tongzhou, and the rest of the army all went to Zhao Village, which is fifteen miles away from Tongzhou, and the artillery battalion will be deployed here.

Time is already very tight, the deployment must be carried out overnight, especially the deployment of the artillery battalion, it will take a certain amount of time, and it is necessary to choose the best position, this thing can be done by the scout battalion, but hundreds of artillery pieces need to be transported over.

When Zheng Jinhong and the others began to deploy, Zheng Xunrui was a little more relaxed, and he began to wander around Tongzhou City, although it was late, Xu Fojia and Yang Aizhen were naturally by their side, of course, they were surrounded by the pro-military camp led by Hong Xinyu.

Zheng Jinhong had already instructed that Hong Xinyu and the sergeants in the pro-military camp should be closely guarded and not allowed to have the slightest problem, not only Zheng Jinhong's arrangement, but when they left the capital, Wen Zhenheng, Yang Tingshu and others also repeatedly explained that they would absolutely protect Zheng Xunrui's safety.

On the surface, Zheng Xunrui is hanging out, but in fact, Xu Fojia has been reporting the information obtained by the Investigation Bureau these days, which also includes the situation in Shanxi and Henan, and even the situation in Shenyang and the grassland.

When Xu Fo's family reported the situation, Zheng Xunrui had been walking slowly and had not spoken from beginning to end.

Xu Fojia and Yang Aizhen, one left and one right follow Zheng Xunrui, the two have been in the Investigation Department for many years, they are not the little women they used to be, after experiencing a lot of things, their horizons are different, they know that Zheng Xunrui is thinking, and they must not be disturbed at this time.

Half an hour later, Zheng Xunrui returned to the house.

Xu Fojia and others laid out the map on the table, Zheng Xunrui looked at the map, and began to meditate again, and everyone quietly withdrew from the room. (To be continued.) )
