Song Xiance also said an example as evidence: "In October of the first year of Chongzhen, there was a plum tree blooming in the imperial garden in the Forbidden City. However, Li is the surname of his subordinates, and it is a sign that his subordinates will bloom in the Forbidden City. Poor Chongzhen Manchu Dynasty civil and military, I don't understand why the plum tree blooms in October! So everything foreshadows that Li will destroy Zhu and seize the world of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Song Xiance saw that Li Zicheng and his subordinates were all overjoyed, and he struck while the iron was hot and continued: "There was a saying that circulated many years ago, 'Flowing into the dry of the Shunhe River, falling into the eighteen beaches, if you want to go to the clouds, start from Yanmen Pass.'" The fact that the general began the uprising was to immediately proclaim himself king and to call the country Chuang, has verified this statement. The so-called flow into the Shunhe River, and the fall into the eighteen beaches does not mean that the Ming Dynasty will die in the eighteen sons of the Li surname, Shunhe, perhaps refers to the name of the country of the eighteen sons! Now according to the phrase 'from Yanmen Pass', the general's uprising will start from now on! ”

Li Zicheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and what he thought in his heart was: "It flows into the dry river and falls into the eighteen beaches." Shunhe? Shun! Obedience Eighteen! Right! It's to obey my surname Li! Ha Lu Ha! The straight word is so good! If I can really be the emperor, I will set the name of the country as Shun, which is a great thing! Li Zicheng had this idea in his heart, but he didn't say it.

Li Zicheng thought of Zhang Biwu calling Song Xiance a military advisor, and Li Zicheng knew that a capable person like Song Xiance could not be robbed by others, and he must be given a good treatment, so that Song Xiance would serve him with all his heart. So Li Zicheng worshiped Song Xiance as a military advisor.

Song Xiance said that Li Zicheng would win the world, not only Li Zicheng was overjoyed, but even his soldiers were greatly encouraged, which showed that they would get glory and wealth by following Li Zicheng, and they were the ones who won the final victory!

At this time, Song Xiance offered an edict to Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng should be the lord of the world, and the news of replacing the Ming Dynasty was gone, spreading throughout the entire hungry people, and also spread to every soldier.

The soldiers beat gongs and drums for this, and they also set off firecrackers, because they felt that following King Li Chuang would always be extremely successful, and they could also make contributions to this cause and enjoy all the glory and wealth.

Song Xiance also recommended a person to King Li Chuang - the son of a famous family, Li Yan, who was affectionately called "Li Gongzi" by people near Qi County, Li Yan's real name was Li Xin, but after the rebellion, he didn't want to use his real name anymore and changed his faith to Yan. Because the red lady who was performing on the rivers and lakes was forced to reluctantly embark on the road of rebellion, Li Yan was taken into the army.

Li Yan escaped from the Red Lady and turned himself in, he thought that the government would not do anything to him, but he didn't expect the government to put Li Yan in prison, in desperation, the Red Lady rescued him, and the hungry people also responded, and together they broke through Qi County and killed the county magistrate to rescue Li Yan. Of course, in order to save Li Yan, many people in Li Yan's clan also participated. Li Yan had no choice but to rebel with the Red Lady.

Now Li Yan has no way back, he has broken off with the imperial court, if Li Yan is allowed to become the master of one party, Li Yan can't do it! He can only rely on others, and it is a sure thing to vote for King Li Chuang.

When Li Zicheng heard this, he was even more happy, because he had already heard of Li Yan's name, and he must take Li Yan into his account. He is going to greet Li Yan, as long as he has Li Yan and others, his strength will be stronger. Li Zicheng is ready to attack outward, he is going to show his super strength!

His goal is Yongning, Yongning has a county king named Zhu Caiqing (there is a gold word next to the light front, gold + light. In order to simplify, so play a light word), if you can catch Zhu Caiqing and kill it, it will be a great shock to the Ming Dynasty, the rebel army has not been able to kill a king since the uprising, even if it is the king of the county, so Li Zicheng wants to open Kaifeng first and kill the king of the Ming Dynasty.

The matter had been detected by Zhang Biwu's secret agents and quickly reported to Zhang Biwu. Zhang Biwu was stunned for a moment, he sighed, Li Zicheng is powerful, just like he led the troops forward, and he couldn't stop it, history is still moving according to its established track!

Killing Wan'an King Zhu Caiqing is just the beginning, but Zhang Biwu himself doesn't know if he can escape the catastrophe, he is afraid that he will be punished by Chongzhen, Zhang Biwu once had one after another to send to the Beijing Division, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, there was no reply at all, maybe someone deliberately detained Zhang Biwu's music.

But now Zhang Biwu has no way at all, he can only keep paying close attention to Li Zicheng's dynamics.

Gu Yanwu and Zhang Biwu have also been thinking about how to get through the difficulties, but they can't think of it.

At this time, he got the exact news, Li Zicheng attacked Yiyang and killed Tang Qitai in Zhixian County. Then storm Yongning City, with a cloud ladder, and storm regardless of casualties! Yongning must be captured quickly, and Li Zicheng's soldiers are all vying and everyone dares to move forward.

Even if Wu Dalie, the magistrate of the county, and Zhang Lun, who had served as the governor of Sichuan, defended the city together, Zhang Lun and his sons Zhang Dingyan, Zhang Zuoyan, Zhang Zhongzan, etc., the main secretary Wei Guofu, the instructor Ren Weiqing, the garrison Wang Zhengji, and the hundred households Sun Shiying were all brave to defend the city, but after only three days, Yongning City was breached.

Only when Zhang Dingyan hid in a dry well did he escape the catastrophe and was not found and killed. Because Wu Dalie was Li Zicheng's fellow villager, Li Zicheng wanted to let him live, but he asked him to surrender, he refused, asked him to hand over the official seal, Wu Dalie also refused, and was burned to death after the worst.

Li Zicheng captured the king of Wan'an, and then beheaded the king of Wan'an in front of the people. King Wan'an is the tenth grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the twenty-fifth son of Ming Taizu, Yili Wang Zhu? 's descendants are too far away from the Chongzhen clan, and they are only a county king, not a prince, and Yongning is a small city. The fall of Yongning did not shake the entire Ming Dynasty, and the impact on the sea was not huge.

However, Li Zicheng killed the king of the county, which has not happened since the uprising, and it can be regarded as a slap in the face for Chongzhen! Chongzhen must be very annoyed!

And Li Zicheng will not give up after breaking Yongning, because he will attack Yanshi and Ruzhou next, and he will point his sword at Kaifeng, the capital of Henan Province! Once Kaifeng is breached, it will have a great political impact! Not to mention that breaking Kaifeng is attacking Kaifeng, it can shock the whole country!

Moreover, Li Yan proposed in Li Zicheng that "killing one person is like killing my father, and lewd one person is like adultering my mother", and Li Yan compiled a ballad of "Welcoming the King, Don't Pay Grain", and put forward slogans such as "Juntian is free of grain". These also made the rebels disciplined in their manners. When the people heard this, they welcomed the royal army as if they were relatives, and the righteous army grew rapidly.

As soon as Zhang Biwu heard the news, he shook his head helplessly, and he gathered the crowd to discuss, because he knew that the cavalry sent by the Emperor Dao to arrest him might be about to arrive!

He has to think about the way back for himself, like Zhao Dayong and Zhao Dawei, they strongly persuaded Zhang Biwu not to work for the corrupt and incompetent court anymore, and quickly go to King Li Chuang, which is the most important thing!

Lin Xiangfeng, Zhang Pan and others didn't want Zhang Biwu to be a traitor to the imperial court, and they also thought that the Ming Dynasty would not collapse for more than two hundred years, and the Ming Dynasty could hold on any longer. Li Zicheng can't do it! Even under the attack of the Tartars, the Ming Dynasty can extend the national glory for decades like the Southern Song Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty!

Huang Qi was silent, he looked at Zhang Biwu, he thought that no matter how Zhang Biwu decided, he would absolutely obey Zhang Biwu's full orders. Gu Yanwu was thinking, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Zhang Biwu looked at Gu Yanwu and asked, "Zhongqing, you are now my advisor, what do you think should be done?" ”

Gu Yanwu said: "I don't want you to vote for Li Zicheng!" After all, the strength of the imperial court is still very strong now! The court doesn't see the people's hearts lost! Can Li Zicheng treat us sincerely? Even if he could, could the generals under his tent do? Another point, we have painstakingly managed the land of the three counties and thought it was fundamental, if we betrayed the imperial court, we would lose all this! And the lord's greatest wish is not to fight in the same room, but to compete with the Manchu Tartars! ”

"Yes!" Zhang Biwu shouted and said, "Zhongqing, what you said is exactly what I think!" If I had voted for Li Zicheng, the situation might have been even more difficult than now! And what worries me the most is the Manchus! Manchu is really unreassuring! I don't think the emperor will kill me! Big deal, maybe I'll be imprisoned! I believe I won't die! And Wang Chengen will also help me! ”

When Zhang Biwu said this, he had no bottom in his heart, but he really didn't want to vote for Li Zicheng, he wanted to stop the Tartars from becoming strong and powerful, although he didn't hate Li Zicheng.

While they were discussing with each other, the emperor and the imperial envoy came! At this moment, everyone's faces changed greatly!

Zhang Biwu hurriedly said: "You all go out for me!" Don't show up here! "But it's too late, because the people have already arrived! They can only go out to meet them!

Zhang Biwu said: "Remember for me, no matter what happens, you can't care about me!" Can't save me! Even if this is the second time I've taken a prisoner bus to Beijing! None of you are allowed to talk nonsense! ”

Huang Qi, Zhao Dawei, and Zhao Dayong looked at each other, and they looked at Zhang Biwu's expression again, and they knew that they had no choice but to obey Zhang Biwu's words.

Zhang Biwu and everyone hurriedly went outside, but when they saw the eunuch who came to read the decree read the holy decree, they investigated Zhang Biwu's crime of dereliction of duty, because he did not play the imperial court Nanyang Mansion Li Zicheng's power soared, causing Li Zicheng to break the famous city and the vassal king was killed.

When Zhang Biwu heard this, he sighed, it seems that none of his successive concertans fell into Chongzhen's hands! It would be nice if it fell into Chongzhen's hands! Zhang Biwu sighed, he knew that he could only be arrested obediently, hoping that Wang Chengen could really help him, even if he was cut for the people, as long as he saved this life, then everything could have a turnaround.

Jin Yiwei stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Biwu and shackled him, this is the second time Zhang Biwu has been in the prisoner car, the last time it was not long apart, I didn't expect to encounter misfortune again now! It seems that in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Biwu is really unfavorable!
