As soon as New Year's Day passed, at the beginning of 1644, Li Zicheng's army officially moved from the countryside to the city after achieving a phased victory, and after capturing the ancient city of Xi'an, Li Zicheng, who was carried away by the ambition of victory, was officially proclaimed emperor.

Then the army continued to march north all the way to the capital, although the Dashun army is hundreds of thousands of people, but there are not many people who can have combat effectiveness, although the phased battle has been victorious, but the Ming Dynasty still has 100,000 Datong soldiers, 100,000 Xuanfu soldiers, 200,000 Juyong soldiers, 200,000 Yanghe and other town soldiers.

The total number of troops exceeds 600,000 troops, and the actual number may not be that much, but if you want to enter Beijing, it must be Li Zicheng's obstacle.

In the face of 600,000 troops, Li Zicheng did not have the confidence to defeat them at this time, but the situation was already somewhat out of his control, and his subordinates who had rebelled for many years at this time thought that it was not difficult to enter the Central Plains and overthrow the Ming Dynasty after achieving a phased victory.

The soldiers below instigated Li Zicheng to enter Beijing, but the rest of them were a little hesitant in their hearts, this time was not the best time to attack, and the news received from the south, Zhang Xianzhong was said to go north to enter Beijing with his soldiers, this news could be good news for Li Zicheng.

But just after the beginning of the year, the news from the south was sent to Li Zicheng again, and Zhang Xianzhong's guy turned around halfway and marched towards Sichuan, which is in line with Zhang Xianzhong in history after all, because this year Zhang Xianzhong will also be the emperor in Chengdu and establish the Daxi regime.

As the two most powerful armed forces in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, there has always been a competitive relationship between them. Everyone thought that whoever could enter Beijing first, the world was his, but now Zhang Xianzhong suddenly entered Sichuan. This made Li Zicheng retreat.

After all, the Ming Dynasty still has hundreds of thousands of troops, even if it is vulnerable, it will cause both defeats, so Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, whether he wants to let himself and the Ming Dynasty lose both and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

However, it is certain that Zhang Xianzhong will not enter Beijing, but at this time, Li Zicheng will not be able to enter Beijing, and his subordinates are looking forward to his ascension to the throne, and then a general amnesty and reward.

It seems that all the situation is not yet at worst, but Australia knows it. Soon after, the two general soldiers would surrender to Li Zicheng's peasant army, and then the Dashun army would fight all the way to the capital, forcing Chongzhen to hang himself on the coal mountain. The tragic end of the monarch's death.

It would be absolutely wrong to say that Chongzhen is not a good emperor, he has worked harder than any of his predecessors to manage the government seriously, but he is such an emperor who is so diligent that everyone is ashamed to meet him without words, but in the end he became the king of the dead country.

In the end, it's still. The death of the Donglin Party. pulled the hind legs, which eventually led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, Li Zicheng entered Beijing two years later, and the fastest was a year later, because he needed time to digest the land he had laid, so he did not rush into Beijing, but now it is different, he can only barely support himself to enter Beijing.

Before entering Beijing, he needs to break through all the way. Daizhou is the only way for him, but Zhou Yuji, the defender of Daizhou, is a person who finally becomes a Ming man. Unlike the surrender of the defending generals in various parts of Shaanxi, he has always resolutely resisted Li Zicheng's peasant rebel army.

Although in terms of strength, he cannot be compared with Li Zicheng, but one thing is certain, he is definitely a talent, relying on less than the opponent's troops to delay Li Zicheng's army to the death without turmoil, and in the end he can only take advantage of the fact that he is forced to withdraw when the other party is not supportive.

The news of Li Zicheng's attack on Daizhou has been known to Australia For this critical year, the entire intelligence system deployed in Daming has been operational, collecting intelligence collected from all walks of life for analysis anytime and anywhere.

The loss of Daizhou is inevitable, this is history can not be changed, if the two general soldiers behind can be a little tougher confrontation, maybe the Ming Dynasty's qi may not be exhausted. Zhao Shijie sighed a little that Chongzhen's life was not good, it was a pity that such a diligent and honest emperor died like this.

"It's just that if he doesn't die, it will be difficult for Australia to realize its plan to realize the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and this is not in Australia's interests."

Australia is now a country, and even if you have feelings for Daming, you must distinguish it.

"Chongzhen must die, immortality is not necessary for the plan we implement, and Houjin must also enter the customs, as for the tragedies that occurred in history, we can only try to reduce them."

The focus of the discussion between the two shifted from Li Zicheng's march route to Chongzhen's life and death, and then put the topic on Zhang Xianzhong, who seemed to be slightly less ambitious than Li Zicheng and knew how to go to Sichuan to do it.

"In fact, he may also be an act of self-preservation, you see, Sichuan has been said since ancient times that Shu Road is difficult to walk, as long as you occupy a few passes, you can use a small number of troops to resist the enemy, and this place is known as the country of abundance, and there is plenty of food."

But Zhang Xianzhong's self-preservation may put Li Zicheng in a dilemma, originally the two were preparing to enter Beijing at the same time, but now they have become one, Li Zicheng will definitely hesitate, once he hesitates to enter Beijing, then history may change.

This is one of the points that Zhao Shijie and Liu Yun are most worried about, if the other party does not enter Beijing, it is very likely that there will be changes in this, and once it changes, unexpected things may happen, once Chongzhen survives this hurdle, whether he will be able to reorganize the rivers and mountains, it is difficult to say.

But it is certain that Australia's deployment and plan will be completely messed up, and even the development plan of the two Guangxi may go bankrupt, so Li Zicheng must go to the best place, if he doesn't go, the people under him will not agree, and the Australians will be disappointed, and at the same time, they will further push him to enter Beijing.

In order to deal with Li Zicheng, Chongzhen gathered heavy troops in Datong Xuanfu and other places, although these people finally appeared to be the imperial court, but seeing that Li Zicheng was powerful, there were already differences in their hearts, and it was impossible to go to the dark in such a road and follow Chongzhen.

After all, there have been many people in the Shaanxi generation who surrendered to Li Zicheng, so surrendering to continue to keep the glory and wealth is the first thing they thought of, as for who will sit in the world, the relationship with them is not big, born in troubled times, what is needed is to have a pair of eyes to judge the situation, and look at the bet, since so many people are betting on Li Zicheng, then it will not be wrong, not to mention that Li Zicheng is indeed stronger now.

Seeing that the best time to choose has arrived, speculative careerists will not let go of the opportunity. (To be continued.) )
