Chapter 107: Li Zicheng Takes Beijing

Li Zicheng was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard this, and said: "The Ming Dynasty still has half of the southern country!" If Chongzhen's blood edict is written to pass on the throne to whom, he will have half of the country in the south, and he will be able to stand with us! It's against us! It will not be easy to unify the whole country at that time! ”

Li Zicheng straightened his face and solemnly ordered: "Strict order, be sure to find Chongzhen's blood edict for me!" Be sure to find it! ”

"Yes! Be! Liu Fangliang naturally had to carry it out. Li Zicheng added another order: "Remember, don't let the news of Chongzhen's blood edict get out!" It doesn't matter if the ministers of Chongzhen mistook his edict and passed it out! As for his blood edict, we must not pass it on when we have not confirmed what the content is! In case people with evil intentions forge Chongzhen's blood edict and confuse the people! ”

Li Zicheng's orders were reasonable, and the generals naturally obeyed their orders, and they quickly left to carry out Li Zicheng's orders.

Li Zicheng didn't see Chongzhen's blood edict, he couldn't feel at ease, if he knew that Chongzhen's blood edict fell into Zhang Biwu's hands, then he would definitely kill Zhang Biwu.

Li Yan knows this point, and Li Yan is not sure whether Zhang Biwu has seen Chongzhen before he died, and Chongzhen's blood edict is not in Zhang Biwu's hands.

If these things are said, not only will he Li Yan be in trouble, but even Zhang Biwu will suffer a catastrophe.

Zhang Biwu still has tens of thousands of troops, if he betrays Li Zicheng, this is not a good thing! Moreover, on the way east, Li Yan was always worried about the Manchu Qing outside the Guan! You can't hurt Zhang Biwu at this time! This will make the Manchus happy, and besides, against the Manchus, Zhang Biwu is a good hand! So Li Yan was silent.

Li Yan was also thinking in his heart: "Blood edict? What is the blood edict left by Chongzhen? It is good for my great shun. Or is it not good for my Dashun? But what Chongzhen said before he died. 'I died without a face, and saw my ancestors in the ground. Go to the crown, cover the face with hair, let the thief split the corpse, and don't hurt the people. 'It's amazing! Alas! What a pity! Such a monarch has become the king of the dead country! ”

Li Yan looked at Chongzhen's corpse with mixed feelings. Li Zicheng looked at Li Yan, although he was silent on the surface, he was thinking in his heart: "Why do you want Li Yan to look at Chongzhen's corpse fixedly, he is in charge of the Qing Palace, he should be used to seeing Chongzhen's corpse!" There shouldn't be such a performance! What's going on? Does he know the whereabouts of the blood edict of Chongzhen? No way! I'm going to get all these searchers. Asked once! Li Yan, Li Yan, it's best that you don't behave disfaithfully to me! ”

Li Zicheng's suspicion increased, which was the reason for his failure in the future, and he became as suspicious as Chongzhen.

Li Zicheng Suddenly, he seemed to see Chongzhen stand up and smile at Li Zicheng: "You are the same as me!" The same! Defeated by suspicion! And die! ”

"Ahh Li Zicheng was taken aback. Seeing this, Niu Jinxing asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”

Li Zicheng looked at it, wasn't Chongzhen's body still well placed there? How can anyone stand up and say that he will be like him! Ha! Maybe it's because I'm too tired and excited! Don't worry too much about it and bring yourself down.

Li Zicheng replied: "It's okay! He then glanced at Bull Venus. Niu Jinxing understood, and knew that Li Zicheng had orders. It's just that now someone is there. Niu Jinxing's eyes rolled, he wondered if it was because of the blood edict?

At this time, Li Yan persuaded Li Zicheng to collect the corpses of Chongzhen and Empress Zhou, but Li Zicheng now only wants to ascend the throne and officially claim the emperor, and then spread the word to Jiangnan to unify the world and establish a glorious dynasty comparable to the Tang Dynasty! Regarding the thick burial of Chongzhen and Zhou Hou, he didn't pay attention to it, and said that he would give Chongzhen and Zhou Hou a grand burial in the future.

But I don't know that he is extremely wrong! Later, Dolgon came to bury Chongzhen and Queen Zhou, so as to win people's hearts!

The Dashun army removed the coffins of Zhu Youzhen and Empress Zhou from the palace and showed the public at the Donghua Gate, "Thirty ministers cried and worshipped, and sixty people worshipped but did not cry, and the rest were all ignored." "The Azusa Palace is temporarily located by the river north of the Forbidden City.

After Li Zicheng left, he asked Niu Jinxing to investigate the matter of the blood edict, and asked the people who found and followed Li Yan to see Chongzhen's corpse, and what he said was the same as what Li Yan reported. And none of them saw the blood edict, and they wondered why Chongzhen had these nine words on the locust tree that he hanged.

Li Zicheng can only send someone to continue to investigate this matter, he now puts everything on the enthronement ceremony, as long as he ascends the throne, then he is equivalent to the lord of the world! That's all that matters!

At this time, the entire Dashun army was filled with the joy of victory, and their discipline was relaxed! Everyone thinks that since they have won, how can they not enjoy themselves? Otherwise, how can you be worthy of life and death?

Seeing this situation, Li Yan and Song Xiance persuaded Li Zicheng that he must be strict with military discipline! Beijing is the political center of the country, and the eyes of the whole country are staring at Beijing.

At the beginning, Li Zicheng rectified military discipline, and the soldiers who entered the city to do evil were beheaded by Li Zicheng and hung high at the city gate.

But such a deterrent can only last a few days! Li Zicheng let the army into the city, and let the people in Beijing raise one of his soldiers in five households, so that his soldiers could live with the people.

In this case, how can nothing happen? These soldiers are all thinking about Lao Tzu's hard work, life and death, and now is the time to enjoy the blessings! In addition, Li Zicheng sent troops from Chang'an to the east, and the idea of the soldiers from top to bottom was to fight to Beijing City and enjoy it! Relaxation of thoughts, how can it be that they don't mess around?

In addition, Li Zicheng lived in the Forbidden City again, he lived in the palace, and he didn't know anything about things outside the palace, so how could he talk about it? For this reason, the military discipline of the Dashun army quickly deteriorated, and its combat effectiveness declined rapidly, from a former army that could fight well to an incompetent army that was afraid of war.

As the head of the civil and military officials, Liu Zongmin was also degenerate and corrupt, and he also lost his money, and arrested the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's relatives and relatives and tortured them, not to mention the rectification of military discipline.

For Princess Kunxing, Liu Zongmin even snatched the princess into his mansion, and then took care of his injuries. Even if Zhou Shixian was very unhappy, he wanted to save Princess Kunxing, but there was no way, and his parents had him locked up.

Zhang Biwu knew that now Princess Kunxing was injured, Liu Zongmin would not give Princess Kunxing anything, Princess Kunxing was still safe for the time being. In addition, Liu Zongmin has to continue to pursue the salary, and there is [Note] the beauty Chen Yuanyuan, so naturally Princess Kunxing is safe for the time being.

[Note]: Wu Sangui was angry and said that Chen Yuanyuan was in Beijing. And there is a theory that Wu Sangui brought Chen Yuanyuan to Ningyuan, not in Beijing, but in his army. The so-called red face and troubled water, so that Wu Sangui led the Qing army into the customs was fabricated by literary scholars. As for who is right and who is wrong, this book will not discuss it! Take Chen Yuanyuan in Beijing now!

Princess Kunxing is safe, but don't forget that there are Fei Zhen'e and Jin Jian's father-in-law, the two cooperated, and Fei Zhen'e pretended to be Princess Kunxing, wanting to absorb Li Zicheng's attention, but unfortunately, Li Zicheng still saw through it! Li Zicheng gave Fei Zhen'e to his general Luo Hu as his wife, which killed Luo Hu's life!

Because Fei Zhen'e wanted to avenge Chongzhen, and many palace maids originally asked her to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river together, but because she wanted to pretend to be a princess, she did not commit suicide with the palace maids. In the end, Fei Zhen'e and Luo Hu died together, but it was a pity that a generation of beauties and a young and promising general.

Fei Zhen'e's assassination of Li Zicheng's fierce general young Luo Hu caused a great sensation in Beijing. People couldn't help but praise Fei Zhen'e, and even called her a martyr, which seemed to make people feel that they could learn from Fei Zhen'e and resist the Dashun army when necessary.

No, there was another incident, the eunuch Du Xun was very drunk, and when he returned at night, he was killed. Emphasize the chaos and thieves, death is not enough! As a result, people applauded Du Xun.

This made Li Zicheng unusually surprised! He also felt that he and his Dashun army were facing the hostile gaze of everyone in the city of Beijing.

Turning back, Jin Jian, who grew up watching Princess Kunxing, wanted to do his best to protect the princess, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to keep the princess safe, which goes without saying. Originally, he wanted to play a good role, but Jin Jian gave his life in vain, and he could only hope that Princess Kunxing, who he had cared for since he was a child and regarded him as a granddaughter, could be happy and safe......

Zhang Biwu knows this situation, he can rest assured of Princess Kunxing's safety, and the relationship between him and Princess Kunxing has been severed since then, and he doesn't have to pay attention to Princess Kunxing so much. What he has to do now is to wait for the battle of Shanhaiguan and successfully rescue the crown prince and the second king.

Although Zhang Biwu told Li Yan to persuade Li Zicheng to be careful of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was useless for Li Yan to say it! Li Zicheng is empty-eyed, and he doesn't listen to anyone!

Li Zicheng and his generals thought that the country was decided, and from now on, they could sit back and relax and live a leisurely life of pleasure!

But I didn't know that a danger was already looming! When Li Zicheng decided to attack Beijing from the east, the Manchus had already found out the news.

At that time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was divided into two factions, one faction proposed to break through Beijing before Li Zicheng, and then meet Li Zicheng in the east. The other faction, led by Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng, thought that they had a steady attitude, because they did not know what the combat effectiveness of Li Zicheng's army was, so it was not too late to investigate clearly first, so that they knew themselves and knew their opponents before they went out to fight. Let Li Zicheng break through Beijing and force Chongzhen to death, so that the Manchus can play a righteous role in hanging the people for their neighbors. (To be continued......)
