In the last bowl of sorghum porridge, Sun Chuanting drank half a bowl, and then sat in the courtyard and wandered the world.

Tian Guifei was nursing the child in the house, and she didn't dare to reveal her identity, even if Sun Chuanting helped just now.

"Dada-da-da!"

There was the sound of horses' hooves in the alley, and an official sent a horse to shout along the way: "Your Majesty has an order, all squares in Beijing will implement the law of protecting the armor, and from tomorrow onwards, the price of grain will be stabilized, and each square will supply grain according to the limit of the number of armor protection!" Officials below the third rank of the Ming Dynasty, or those who have been dismissed, and those who are willing to submit to the new dynasty will be hired as officials immediately! ”

Sun Chuanting was a little surprised, Li Zicheng was short of food, and he actually sold grain to the people at a low price.

As soon as this policy comes out, the city of Beijing, which is about to collapse, will immediately be able to restore order.

"Inspector Sun." Tian Guifei shouted in the house.

Sun Chuanting asked, "Which noble family is Madame, have you ever seen me?" ”

Tian Guifei said: "Although you and I have never met, but Inspector Sun just reported his name, then we know each other." Invite Inspector Sun into the house to speak. ”

Sun Chuanting stepped into the house, and the baby had fallen asleep after feeding.

"This is His Majesty's youngest son, and it has not yet reached a hundred days." Tian Guifei said.

"What?"

Sun Chuanting was suddenly startled, and hurriedly asked, "Do you have a certificate?" ”

Tian Guifei said: "I am in a hurry to leave the palace, and there is no certificate. ”

Sun Chuanting frowned, and he was skeptical.

Tian Guifei took out a bamboo flute: "This flute is made of gold inlaid jade bamboo, and in the entire north, only a little is planted in the palace." ”

Glancing at the bamboo flute, Sun Chuanting basically believed it.

Sun Chuanting didn't ask Tian Guifei's identity, but said, "What does Madam want me to do?" ”

Tian Guifei said: "Just now, there was an official who was a traitor passing by, and officials below the third grade, or dismissed officials, can be hired on the basis of merit." The concubine was presumptuous and asked Inspector Sun to be an official in the puppet dynasty. ”

Sun Chuanting became more and more puzzled: "Why? ”

"I have no money to buy food, and Inspector Sun has no money to buy food, so it is important to save the prince's life." Tian Guifei's reason is very simple.

"Good!" Sun Chuanting immediately agreed.

Sun Chuanting immediately left with Tian Guifei, and the two agreed on an identity relationship, saying that Tian Guifei's mother and son were Sun Chuanting's deceased family.

After reporting his name, Sun Chuanting was soon received by Li Zicheng.

In fact, Li Zicheng has been busy meeting various figures. He even went to the suburbs in person to communicate with the elderly in the neighborhood, promising that he would be exempted from paying taxes for three years.

There are also a large number of shabby officials in Beijing, who can't find the opportunity to embezzle, and they are all poor.

These poor officials were promoted and appointed by Li Zicheng, and they were also sent out to take over the prefectures and counties. Give a sum of money for travel and food, let the officials publicize the policy, and say that the land will be exempted for the next three years.

Since you want to ascend the throne and become emperor, you have to hold a ceremony.

If you want to hold a ceremony, you have to have a large number of civil officials, otherwise the process of the ceremony is not clear.

Li Zicheng quickly restructured and set up a cabinet, with Niu Jinxing as the first assistant.

The Hanlin Academy was changed to Hongwen Hall, the six departments were changed to six governments, and the six departments were changed to six government advice.

Hou Fangyu's father, Hou Sui, has been appointed as the secretary of the military government, that is, the secretary of the military department.

Hou Sui was forcibly recruited in his hometown, beating rabbits with grass, and Hou Fangyu was also recruited. If you don't follow the thief, you can't do it, otherwise you will be killed all over the house!

Sun Chuanting volunteered and was immediately appointed as the left squire of the military government.

Even, Sun Chuanting was given a mansion and let him temporarily live in the house of the nobles who were raided.

This was followed by a series of decrees, and at the same time vigorously rectified the law and order in the capital. Several Dashun soldiers who bought and sold forcibly were beheaded in public, and their already very good military discipline instantly became equal to Zhao Han's Datong army.

Sun Chuanting was very shocked by this, but was soon disappointed.

The civil officials under Li Zicheng are actually decorations, because the principle of using officials is "to use force to protect literature". Sun Chuanting's position was similar to that of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, but he could only assist in the management of ordnance and could not interfere in military issues at all.

In order to show his generosity, Li Zicheng actually appointed Bian Dashou as the county governor of Daxing.

Bian Dashou dug through Li Zicheng's ancestral grave!

……

"Your Majesty, good news, Hong Chengchou and Ma Ke are willing to lead the army to attach!"

"Well, that's a great thing!"

Li Zicheng was very happy, and on the second day of his accession to the throne, Jizhen and Shanhaiguan all surrendered.

Sure enough, it's the destiny of heaven!

On Hong Chengchou's side, some generals still had doubts.

For example, Cao Bianjiao, he almost killed Li Zicheng, worried that he would be retaliated against in the future.

When the news came that Bian Dashou was appointed as the magistrate, Cao Bianjiao immediately let go of his worries. He could surrender, but he refused to give up his military power, and the two sides bargained, and the deal was quickly settled.

More than 20,000 Jizhen soldiers and 10,000 Shanhaiguan soldiers became Li Zicheng's subordinates.

It seems to be a success, but in fact there are many problems.

The 70,000 elites that Li Zicheng brought to Beijing were indeed strictly disciplined. But the rest of the troops, either the incorporated anti-thieves or the submissive Ming army, military discipline, morale and combat effectiveness were in shambles.

At the beginning of May, Li Zicheng officially opened the course to take the bachelor's degree, allowing the scholars in Beijing to be directly admitted to the bachelor's degree.

At this moment, Ma Ke sent an urgent military situation: "The Tatar slaves are entering Shanhaiguan, Shanhaiguan is short of food and grass, and morale is low, I ask Your Majesty to send troops to rescue as soon as possible!" ”

There were a large number of Manchu Qing Dynasty in Beizhili, and after the fall of Beijing, Huang Taiji immediately sent troops in a hurry.

Huang Taiji personally led the main force to approach Shanhaiguan, and Haoge and Dolgon led their own divisions, and invaded from Lengkou and Xifengkou respectively.

Li Zicheng, who was planning to march south, had to transfer troops to deal with the Manchu Qing.

Li Zicheng attached great importance to this and specially appointed a "Shanhaiguan Defense Envoy" to go to Shanhaiguan to supervise and guide the work of Ma Ke.

This defense envoy is named Zhang Ruoqi.

The world line seems to have been constricted, and in history, Wu Sangui guarded the Shanhaiguan, and Li Zicheng also sent Zhang Ruoqi to be the defense envoy of the Shanhaiguan.

Regardless of whether he was sincere or not, Sun Chuanting couldn't sit idly by, and ran to meet Li Zicheng overnight: "Your Majesty, Zhang Ruoqi doesn't know soldiers, and he likes to embezzle power, so don't send him to defend Shanhaiguan!" ”

"I know you have a grudge against him, Daming's party strife, don't get me here." Li Zicheng reproached.

Sun Chuanting wanted to speak and stopped, completely selfish towards Li Zicheng, and was ready to take the prince south at any time.

Zhang Ruoqi was appointed and immediately set off for Shanhaiguan.

One operation, the Shanhaiguan soldiers were full of complaints.

Fortunately, Li Zicheng then led the troops, leaving only a few troops stationed in Beijing, leaving more than 60,000 elites out, plus a total of 80,000 soldiers from Shanhaiguan.

On Huang Taiji's side, there are only 40,000 troops, and 300,000 are claimed to be counted among the people.

After several days of confrontation, the consumption of military rations was extremely great, and Li Zicheng decided to take the initiative to go out to fight, and he also wanted to save military rations and go south to fight Shandong.

"Report, the enemy is out of the customs!"

"It's good to come, the whole army retreats."

After hearing the news from afar, Huang Taiji was very happy and took the initiative to retreat to Yong'an Fort, choosing to defend the city.

The Shanhaiguan defensive battle was fought by Li Zicheng into the siege of Yong'an Fort.

After half a month of fighting, regardless of victory or defeat, Huang Taiji completely turned into a shrunken turtle. The 40,000-strong army, divided into two, one held Yong'an Fort, and the other held the nearby mountains, resisting Li Zicheng's attack in a corner.

This goods is dragging time, and his two partial divisions must make a detour to cross the Great Wall and go straight to Li Zicheng's rear.

In fact, the outcome of the war has long been decided.

Li Zicheng didn't take the Manchu Qing to heart, and he didn't even release the details, and only sent sentry cavalry to probe the enemy's intelligence.

And Huang Taiji has eyeliner everywhere, knows everything about Beizhili, and his military plan is very targeted.

At this time, Huang Taiji was not dead, and the Manchu army was at its peak, not the Qing army that came to fight Shanhaiguan after infighting.

……

Cold mouth direction.

Tang Tong, who has returned to Li Zicheng, is drinking and having fun in the city.

Da Ming is dead, everything is easy.

Tang Tong has run out of military rations, and now he doesn't want to do anything. Just wait for Li Zicheng to win the battle and come back to pay himself a military salary, otherwise his soldiers will mutiny.

"Boss, no, the Tartars are here!" The guards rushed in to give a report.

"Let's go!"

Tang Tong was so frightened that he hurriedly ran to the stable.

Running and running suddenly came back to his senses, how could Li Zicheng's group of rogues beat the Tatar slave elite soldiers?

Tang Tong defeated the Liukou many times, and lost to the Manchus many times.

He despised Li Zicheng and feared the Manchus, and at the critical moment, he immediately felt that the Manchus were going to win.

What's more, the Manchu army has already been killed, and he will definitely not be able to resist it.

Even if Li Zicheng can win the battle and loses his cold mouth, most of them will be questioned, so it is better to surrender now.

Tang Tong mounted his war horse and ordered the whole army: "Follow me to welcome the soldiers into the village!" ”

"The enemy has surrendered!"

"Haha, the Han people are still so gutsless."

Hauge laughed out loud, and he was not surprised.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty came to fight the Great Wall Pass all times, and the Ming defenders fled when they heard the news. The only difference, which was previously an escape, this time turned into a surrender.

After receiving the surrender, Haoge encouraged him and said to Tang Tong: "The soldiers are fast, don't delay, immediately lead the troops to fight Jizhou with me!" ”

Tang Tong came up with an idea and said: "General, I think I can fight Qian'an first." ”

"Why do you want to fight Qian'an first?" Hauge asked.

Tang Tong explained: "The commander of Qian'an is Bai Guangen, this person was originally a rogue, and he was recruited by the Ming Dynasty to be the chief soldier. He himself is a thief, and he kills thieves ruthlessly, and he has a great enmity with Li Chuangjun. Moreover, this person was born as a thief, although he was quite appreciated by Hong Chengchou, but he had many contradictions with other generals in Jizhen. Now that he is forced to submit to Li Chuang, whether it is Li Chuang's people or Hong Chengchou's people, they may find him to settle old scores. ”

Hauge smiled, "It's not a human here." ”

"That's true," Tang Tong said with a smile, "Bai Guangen was anxious in his heart, afraid of retaliation from all sides. As long as the generals arrive, this person will have to surrender to my Qing Dynasty! ”

Haoge said: "If Bai Guangen surrenders the city, I will give you a great reward!" ”

"Thank you, General, for your appreciation." Tang Tong was overjoyed.

The Manchu division and Tang Tong marched together, and as soon as they arrived at the city of Qian'an to persuade them to surrender, Bai Guangen ordered the soldiers to open the city gate.

After a battle was not fought, Haoge had 8,000 more soldiers under his command, and then waved his army to kill Jizhou, where Hong Chengchou was sitting.

Hauge was lucky, but Dorgon kicked the iron plate.

Dolgon also made a surprise attack to capture Xifengkou, but was immediately counterattacked by Cao Bianjiao.

Cao Bianjiao led his family to attack at night and slaughtered all the way to Dorgon's big tent. Fortunately, they were all elites, and the Qing army not only did not collapse, but was able to gather troops to encircle.

Cao Bianjiao successfully broke through the siege and led his troops to Jizhou to defend the city with Hong Chengchou's pacesetters.

Hong Chengchou was very embarrassed, there were soldiers and no food.

(I'm sorry, but there is something wrong, the update is late.) ）
