The new year and the new beginning, just as the Australian general election came to an end, the situation in Daming has also changed rapidly.

Li Zicheng Xinsheng, after occupying Xi'an, surrounded by a group of subordinates, ascended to the throne, and formally established the Dashun Dynasty, this news reached the capital naturally made Chongzhen angry, on the one hand, convened an emergency cabinet meeting, on the other hand, ordered the army of Datong to prepare for battle.

Although there are still hundreds of thousands of people in the Ming army, the only one who can really fight against Li Zicheng's Dashun army is probably only the Guanning army in Shanhaiguan.

The hundreds of thousands of troops added up to the same amount seem to be a very large number, but what is the real strength, even those ministers in the court do not believe it, if the strength is strong, it will not be defeated.

What is even more hateful is that the generals of the front unified army do not respond to the will of the imperial court, and the ministers of the court are already preparing for the arrival of Li Zicheng.

On the one hand, the Donglin Party suppressed their opponents in the court, and on the other hand, they did secretly contact the Houjin outside the Guanguan and Li Zicheng's Dashun army, in an attempt to maintain their position again after Li Zicheng's Dashun army entered Beijing.

The reason why they have such an idea has a lot to do with the lack of talents and scholars around Li Zicheng, the Donglin Party thinks that they are scholars, and as long as the new dynasty is established, they must reuse scholars, but they have not thought that Li Zicheng is a peasant rebel.

He conquered the next city and land and declared that he would be exempt from taxes for three years, which was a good policy, but it also brought a great economic crisis to himself, not to mention what his huge army of hundreds of thousands depended on to feed. There are also the expenses of officials in the occupied territories.

Sometimes I have to say that Li Zicheng's idea is actually too ideal, although relying on this method can win people's hearts, but it is fatal for himself.

In order to raise military salaries, Li Zicheng had a revolutionary feeling of fighting local tyrants and dividing the land, and as long as the officials caught by him would be forced to hand over gold and silver as military salaries. Sometimes it is even said that the methods used are cruel.

But even so, the Donglin Party still has great illusions about him, after all, he is a scholar, if this guy wants to govern the world, he must use a scholar, it is useless for you to fight, you are a reckless man if you don't study to help you manage, and you are a reckless man.

With strong pride and self-confidence, the Donglin Party had frequent contact with Li Zicheng, and the two sides even discussed how to welcome the king once he entered Beijing.

These people have reached the point where they can't bear it. Even if Chongzhen I heard some news, he didn't dare to move these people easily.

Who in the world can't be offended the most, these reading mouths can say that the black is the white master, if you give them any crime, you can immediately make up a reason.

In addition to having a strong mouth, those who read books are the best at writing articles, and the Donglin Party in this period is very united, and if you dare to punish them, they can scold you to death.

The death of the Ming Dynasty in history. It has a lot to do with the Donglin Party, and of course, Chongzhen's own death is indispensable. Originally, the eunuch group was a faction and formed a mutual balance with the Donglin Party, and as soon as he ascended the throne, he directly came to wipe out the eunuch group, which is not exactly the intention of the Donglin Party.

Without checks and balances, it would be very terrible for the emperor, and the ancient Ming monarchs basically knew how to play the art of checks and balances, only the two factions continued to fight. In the end, the imperial power will be the most stable, because both of them need the support of the emperor, and the support of the emperor is very important at this time.

Therefore, Chongzhen died by himself for a big reason, in addition to this, it was the period of encountering the Xiaoice River. encountered a reduction in grain production, and several reasons were added together, and the Ming Dynasty died naturally.

In history, there is another reason why Li Zicheng can enter Beijing quickly, the surrender of hundreds of thousands of troops in Datong Xuanfu, Juyong, Yanghe and other towns gave Li Zicheng a huge army to enter the capital without much effort.

If Li Sisi is on it, these hundreds of thousands of people can effectively resist for a while, or meet a famous general, Li Zicheng may not be so easy to enter Beijing, as long as he does not enter Beijing, Wu Sangui will not rebel and join Houjin, and Daming will continue to be continued.

But history is history, once through the crowd some people proposed whether it was possible to kill a few generals and generals at these key points, in order to continue the life of the Ming Dynasty, but it was not passed, the reason is that there is no qualified general, even if these hundreds of thousands of people do not surrender in the end, it is not enough to kill a few people, but the combat effectiveness of these armies is too weak, and there is a lack of a strong commander of the army, so it is natural to surrender.

In fact, Li Zicheng can be said to have been quite smooth along the way, and basically has not suffered too many setbacks, which is also the main reason why his subordinates think that it is the destiny of heaven and should enter Beijing.

In addition to the surrender of the general guerrillas of the Ming Dynasty, it gave them greater confidence, and the only time when they felt that it was not easy to be resisted was when they met Zhou Yuji, and at the same time there were hundreds of thousands of troops waiting for him in front of him, and for the first time he felt that if the army of the imperial court was so stubbornly resisting, would he be able to enter Beijing.

Just when he hesitated, the other two Ming soldiers Jiang Hao and Wang Tongyi, the chief soldiers of Xuanfu, who thought the same as him, were also thinking about where to go, saying that this is related to the life of the family, and the most important thing is glory and wealth, if he surrenders to the establishment of the new dynasty at this time, he will be a meritorious man.

At present, Li Zicheng is powerful, and there are many surrenderers almost along the way, which can explain everything, it is definitely not possible to not have an avatar, and it is definitely not possible to continue to resist. As soon as the two of them combined, they simply dropped, anyway, sooner or later, the world will be his Lao Li's, Lao Zhu's family is exhausted, and his avatar at this time is not a treacherous and negative grace.

Now that they have made up their minds to surrender, the two of them naturally have to constantly brainwash themselves in their hearts to convince themselves, otherwise they will definitely not be able to say anything in their hearts.

At the beginning of February, Jiang Wang and the two sent envoys to send a surrender table, and opened the city gate to welcome Li Zicheng, and officially surrendered Dashun, this news not only shocked the capital, but also began to pay more attention to the situation of the general army guerrillas in various places, once the general army surrendered in these two places, it also means that the route into Beijing is like no man's land, and there is no large-scale army to resist.
