Gu Junen sat on the chair with a pale face and trembling body, and did not speak for a full quarter of an hour, Li Guo, who was sitting on his right, showed a look of indignation on his face, neither of them thought that the Zheng family army had actually invaded the capital, and their main attention was focused on the battle of Yishi and Shanhaiguan before, and they did not expect such a thing to happen, could it be that the Zheng family army fell from the sky.

In fact, the 45,000 soldiers of the Dashun army stationed in the outer city of the capital were defeated by the Zheng army, and there were only 5,000 soldiers of the Dashun army in the inner city, and the main guard was the Forbidden City.

With 5,000 soldiers of the Great Shun Army, it is impossible to resist the Zheng family army in the outer city.

What's even worse is that the Dashun army lost in the battle of Yishi and Shanhaiguan, which also means that the reinforcements that Gu Junen and Li Guo expected to get do not exist, and Zheng Xunrui's letter does have a letter, asking Li Guo and Gu Junen to get ready, collect all the gold and silver, and prepare to evacuate the capital.

The fact that the Zheng family army was able to occupy the outer city of the capital showed that it had been prepared for a long time, and the operation was secretive.

The worry in Gu Junen's mind finally appeared, Zheng Jiajun waved the capital at the most critical time, everything was so accurate, not bad at all, what a terrible person Zheng Xunrui was.

Time passed minute by minute, and the time set by Zheng Xunrui was getting closer and closer.

Although when Li Zicheng led the army to leave the capital, on the surface, he entrusted Gu Junen to be in charge of everything in the capital, but it was Li Guo who could really play a decisive role, and Gu Junen and Li Guo knew all this.

"Mr. Gu, I'm scared."

When Li Guo's voice came, a red tide appeared on Gu Junen's face.

He had an opinion about Li prematurely, and when Li Zicheng entered the capital, great changes occurred. And waiting by Li Zicheng's side all day long is this Li Guo, and Li Zicheng's changes must be related to this Li Guo.

Li Guo is Li Zicheng's nephew, and Li Zicheng's relatives are not many, so he attaches great importance to this Li Guo, and the reason why Li Guo did not come out in the early stage. Also from the perspective of protection, after occupying the capital, Li Zicheng immediately showed great trust in Li Guo, and the degree of trust far exceeded that of Gu Junen and Liu Zongmin and others.

"Master Li, you are responsible for everything in the capital, what do you say?"

"It's said that Zheng Xunrui is powerful, I don't believe it, I look at the inner city and wait for the arrival of King Chuang's reinforcements."

"The army has already suffered defeat at Shanhaiguan. King Chuang's letter also came, how to rush to the capital, besides, since the Zheng family army occupied the outer city, it must be a large army to press the border, is it possible that Lord Li is also preparing to let King Chuang encounter the ambush of the Zheng family army. ”

Li Guo's face flushed slightly.

"It is impossible for King Chuang to fail, this is all Zheng Xunrui's demagogy, we just need to firmly guard the inner city. I will be able to wait until King Chuang returns. ”

Gu Junen was stunned and looked at Li Guo. I couldn't imagine that at this time, Li Guo was so stubborn.

Soon, Li Guo spoke again, and Gu Junen couldn't help it.

"Mr. Gu, did you think that King Chuang was defeated in Shanhaiguan, so he was ready to take refuge in Zheng Xunrui......

This sentence is for Gu Junen. It is a great insult, when Gu Junen followed Li Zicheng to fight, Li Guo was just a child who had not grown up, more than ten years have passed, no matter what kind of blows and setbacks the rebels have encountered. Gu Junen followed Li Zicheng's side without giving up, and the more critical the moment, the more Gu Junen was able to give full play to his own advantages and help Li Zicheng and the righteous army resolve the danger.

I didn't expect Li Guo to say such words easily.

Gu Junen stood up and spoke coldly.

"Lord Li, I, Gu Junen, have been fighting with King Chuang for more than ten years, no matter what kind of situation I encounter, I have tried my best to overcome difficulties, I didn't expect Lord Li to suspect that I betrayed King Chuang, this is really a joke, since Lord Li said so, there must be a way to deal with the current situation, I don't need to worry about it."

After finishing speaking, Gu Junen raised his feet and walked towards the door.

"Stop, Mr. Gu, in a critical moment, anyone must obey my orders, at this time, it is better to ask Mr. Gu to stay in the house."

After Li Guo said this, several sergeants immediately stood guard at the door.

Gu Junen's face instantly lost expression, he didn't expect that Li Guo not only suspected that he would betray King Chuang, but also distrusted him between his actions, such a shameful humiliation, Gu Junen didn't expect it at all.

But at this moment, Gu Junen has no choice, when Li Zicheng left the capital, he handed over the most important thing to Li Guo, that is, military power, Li Guo can mobilize the army in the capital.

Gu Junen did not have the power to mobilize the army.

This is also the reason why both Gu Junen and Li Guo understand that the capital is actually controlled by Li Guo.

Gu Junen, who sat down slowly, didn't speak, he knew that everything was over, Zheng Jiajun was able to take the outer city so quickly, and he was sure enough to take the inner city, and all hope was lost at that time, Gu Junen was not ready to leave the capital, he considered negotiating with Zheng Xunrui, agreed to sacrifice the inner city on the surface, secretly sent a sergeant to sneak out of the capital, and quickly went to report to Li Zicheng about the great changes in the capital, even if the Dashun army was defeated in Shanhaiguan, at least he could know that the situation in the capital had changed significantly.

Gu Junen felt desolate, originally thought that after the righteous army occupied the capital, its strength would grow rapidly, and it had the ability to resist the Zheng family army and the Eight Banners army, who knew that the outcome would be like this, could it be said that the righteous army really couldn't enter the capital.

An hour has come.

The Zheng army launched an attack from three places: Xuanwumen, Zhengyangmen, and Chongwenmen.

Gunshots rang out in the capital, and even though it was already dark, the gunshots still alarmed many people.

The dark line of the inner city, when the gunshots rang out, also began to act, and most of the hidden lines in the inner city were soldiers of the Zheng family's former scout battalion, and their combat ability was not ordinary.

The accurate shooting of the Mauser gun made the sergeants on the city wall dare not dare to come forward at all.

Zheng Xunrui did not immediately order the sergeant to erect a ladder to climb the city wall, but continued to order the sergeant to shoot.

The dark line of the inner city finally moved, they were divided into two parts, one part rushed towards the top of the city wall, and the other part rushed towards the Zhengyang Gate, according to the requirements, the Zheng family soldiers will enter the inner city through the Zhengyang Gate.

When there was a commotion on the walls, the order to siege the city was given.

The soldiers of the Zheng family army rushed towards the city wall......

Li Guo, who personally commanded the battle on the city wall, never imagined that such a situation would occur, the arquebus in the hands of Zheng Jiajun was something he had never seen before, this kind of arquebus was too lethal, it was fired continuously, and there was no need to ignite it at all, and the sergeant who was shot fell down almost without any struggle.

There were too many sergeants on the city wall, so that the other sergeants didn't dare to stick their heads out at all, so how to resist the attack of the Zheng family's army, what made Li Guo even more collapsed was that the situation on the city wall could no longer be maintained, and a large number of black-clothed people didn't know how to rush onto the city wall.

There are also 4,000 sergeants stationed on the city wall, and the remaining 1,000 people are stationed in the Forbidden City.

It's a pity that Li Guo was too confident, not only did he not listen to Gu Junen's persuasion, but even his own retreat was completely cut off.

If the outer city is lost, how can the inner city be defended, and the opponent is the strong Zheng Jiajun.

The moment the Chongwen Gate was opened and the soldiers of the Zheng family army rushed into the inner city, blood came out of Li Guo's mouth, and he raised the steel knife in his hand and stretched it out to his neck......

The inner city was breached by the Zheng family's army, Gu Junen was already very calm at the moment, he knew that Li Guo would definitely fail.

Li Guo has never commanded a battle alone, he doesn't know the cruelty of the battle at all, and he has never been alone before, and he was relatively low-key in terms of personality, but after going to Nanjing to trade grain, there was a significant change in his personality when he came back.

Gu Junen attributed all this to the trouble caused by the righteous army entering the capital, otherwise he couldn't understand the reason.

When Zheng Xunrui entered the inner city, the time was close to the sub-hour.

Zishi is the beginning of the day, and entering the capital at this time has a special significance.

Zheng Xunrui remembered the time of this day, on April 23, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, when he was a child, he entered the inner city of the capital, and the Zheng family army occupied the entire capital.

Chongzhen crossed in November of the first year, and after seventeen years, he was finally about to reach the top.

"It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, not to sell the name of the overlord, if there is love in the sky, the sky is also old, and the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life."

Zheng Xunrui on horseback, couldn't help reciting this poem, at this time, he really felt the meaning of the poem, I remember that a great man said when he entered the capital, don't learn from Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng was forced to evacuate in not many days after entering the capital.

Zheng Xunrui, who is experiencing this historical moment, feels a lot, and what he experiences when he enters the capital is not the joy of victory, nor the pride of stepping on the peak, but a heavy responsibility.

The devastated Beizhili, leaving Zheng Xunrui with a chill, the responsibility on his shoulders is extraordinary, if he wants to revitalize this dynasty, there are still too many roads to go ahead, maybe after he reaches the top, there is no time to enjoy, there is no opportunity for complacency, there are opponents like Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji in front of him, as well as the poor north, and the grassland that he needs to completely conquer.

The Guanningjin defense line will not continue to exist in his heart, the north must be reunified, any threat must be eliminated, and he is committed to the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people, and the rejuvenation of the nation, which is his unshirkable responsibility.
