After Li Zicheng occupied the Qin Palace, he was limited to the people of Shaanxi, and did not expand the palace too much, but only repaired some palace rooms in the backyard of the palace to accommodate his dozens of concubines.

Li Zicheng These concubines, most of them are palace maids snatched from Beijing.

Thinking that these palace maids were Chongzhen's women, Li Zicheng was energetic.

However, it is a pity that no matter how hard Li Zicheng ploughs the land, there is still no movement from dozens of concubines, and gradually Li Zicheng will cut off his thoughts.

That night, Li Zicheng stayed in Dou Meiyi's room.

When she was sleeping in the lake, she heard Dou Meiyi whispering to someone outside.

"Who?" After Li Zicheng was awakened, he frowned and asked, "In the middle of the night, don't let people sleep?" ”

"Hooray." Dou Meiyi hurriedly returned to the bed to report, "It's His Royal Highness the Prince, Yin Ye entered the palace to report important matters." ”

"Who are you talking about, Double Happiness?" Li Zicheng's single eye revealed a shocking coldness, and he looked at Dou Meiyi for a moment.

Dou Meiyi was immediately so frightened that her face turned pale, and she didn't dare to say much, lest Li Zicheng would kill her if she didn't agree.

Fortunately, at this time, Li Shuangxi's voice sounded outside the palace gate at the right time, relieving Dou Meiyi: "Father, something is wrong!" ”

Li Zicheng put on a straight shirt and walked out of the gate of Meiyi Palace, only to see Li Shuangxi pacing back and forth outside the door with an anxious expression.

Seeing Li Zicheng come out, Li Shuangxi hurriedly reported: "Father, the big thing is not good, the four cavalry from Huangyu Pass, Tumen Pass, Backward Horse Pass and Bauhinia Pass to the east are all wiped out, and Li Yan, a thief, took 30,000 cavalry to Nanming directly!" ”

"What?" When Li Zicheng heard this, he was immediately furious.

"Li Yan, this thief, I know, I know."

"I knew that this thief would devour the Lord sooner or later! Sooner or later! ”

"I shouldn't have listened to the advice of the great army in the first place, I should have killed him with a knife."

Li Shuangxi sighed, and then said: "Father, the main force of the rear camp has been wiped out, and there are less than 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers left in Shanxi Province, which is extremely empty. ”

"Yes, this matter must be guarded against, and troops should be dispatched to Shanxi to fortify the defense as soon as possible."

Li Zicheng woke up like a dream, and then said: "There is also the Hetao that will also send troops." ”

"But the problem is, there are no troops to send now." Li Shuangxi said helplessly, "The front battalion is far away in Gansu, the main force of the right battalion is confronting the Ming army near Zhongxiang, the left battalion has less than 20,000 people, and the Zhongquan pro-army has advanced to the vicinity of Kaifeng." ”

After thinking for a while, Li Zicheng ordered: "Quickly summon the Great Army Division and the Left Army Division into the palace to discuss matters, quickly!" ”

There was such a big event, Li Zicheng was also a little confused, and he wanted to listen to Song Xiance and Gu Junen's ideas, mainly to listen to Gu Junen's ideas, and Li Yan's case, Li Zicheng no longer believed Song Xiance.

However, the misfortune is not a one-way street, Li Zicheng changed into Yanju clothes and just arrived at the carrier hall, and another bad news came.

After Li Shuangxi finished reading the Tang newspaper, his face turned pale, and he didn't dare to report to Li Zicheng for a while.

"What does the Tang newspaper say?" Li Zicheng's face collapsed, "Liu Zongmin is also defeated?" ”

"Defeated, and it's ......" After a slight pause, Li Shuangxi said again, "And it's still a fiasco, the 100,000 Mabu army was defeated by the 100,000 Ming army blocking Yinxi in the territory of Kaifeng Mansion!" ”

"Fiasco?" Li Zicheng was stunned and said, "How miserable?" ”

Li Shuangxi said secretly: "Of the 100,000 Mabu army, less than 10,000 people are left to flee back to Tongguan, and the other 90,000 are either killed in battle or surrendered to the Ming army, and even Liu Zongmin is also ......."

"What happened to Liu Zongmin?" Li Zicheng roared, "He also surrendered the Ming army? ”

"Liu Zongmin died in battle." Li Shuangxi said secretly, "During a charge, I was shot into a sieve by the tiger squat cannon of the Ming army, and it is said that the whole thing is not human." ”

Li Zicheng sat down on the throne in a dejected manner.

Liu Zongmin is actually dead, actually dead?

That blacksmith in Lantian actually died?

The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became oppressive and dull.

In such an atmosphere, Song Xiance and Gu Junen arrived one after another.

"Minister Song Xice/Gu Junen knocks on the Holy Jin'an." Song Xiance and the two paid a big salute.

However, Li Zicheng, who was sitting on the throne, did not react, as if he hadn't heard it.

Song Xiance and Gu Junen glanced at each other, and bowed again: "The ministers and others are invited to the Holy Jin'an." ”

Li Zicheng's thoughts were finally pulled back to reality, and he waved his hand and said, "The two military advisors are here, let's get up." ”

After speaking, Li Zicheng said to Li Shuangxi with some coyness: "Prince, you and the two military advisors are separated. ”

"Yes." Li Shuangxi agreed, the whole army of the rear camp was annihilated, Li Yan led his troops to surrender to the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Zhongquan pro-army was defeated in Kaifeng, and the bad news of Liu Zongmin's death was originally told to Song Xiance and the two.

"Huh?" When Song Xiance heard these two bad news, he was stunned for a moment.

Gu Junen was also shocked, obviously not expecting such a result.

After a while, Gu Junen suddenly shouted: "It's not good, it's not good!" ”

"Left Army Division." Li Zicheng frowned and asked, "Have you thought of anything?" ”

"The main force of the right battalion!" Gu Junen said eagerly, "Shengshang, the Zhongquan pro-army has been hit hard, and the rear camp is even more exhausted, and the front battalion is only 50,000 people, so the 100,000 main force of the right battalion is already the only remaining elite veteran of our Dashun, if there is another mistake of these 100,000 veterans, then my Dashun will really be doomed!" ”

"Alarmist." Song Xiance retorted sharply, "Chen Yongfu is brave and loyal, and the right battalion is even more battle-hardened, plus the Ming army in Huguang is just a town soldier adapted from native soldiers, so there is no possibility of any mistakes." ”

Gu Junen said angrily: "The 80,000 cavalry of the rear camp and the 100,000 elite of the Zhongquan New Army are all out in multiple ways, did the army division have thought that they would suffer such defeats in Beizhi and Henan?" Especially Li Yan, did you ever think that he would betray? ”

"Li Yan must have something strange about this." Song Xiance looked at him left and right, "You can't make judgments. ”

Just as the two were arguing, another messenger hurriedly entered and handed a Tang newspaper to Li Shuangxi.

Li Shuangxi pulled out a knife and cut through the fire paint and took out the letterhead, and after reading it in a hurry, the expression on his face turned pale again.

Seeing Li Shuangxi's expression, Li Zicheng's heart jumped, and he asked urgently, "What?" What's going on again? ”

"Kick off the father, it's the right battalion." Li Shuangxi's voice began to tremble even when he spoke, "The day before yesterday, in the afternoon of the day before yesterday, the main force of the right battalion and the 40,000 elites personally commanded by Chongzhen fought outside Zhongxiang County, and after half an hour of fierce fighting, they finally suffered a crushing defeat, and only 20,000 of the 100,000 troops were defeated and returned to Hanzhong, and Xiangyang and Xunyang were all lost. ”

"What? Only 20,000 of the 100,000 troops in the right battalion were defeated in Hanzhong? Xiangyang and Xunyang were also lost? ”

Hearing this, Li Zicheng's whole person was not good, and he felt as if a 10,000-pound boulder had been pressed on his chest, and he couldn't breathe, and he was about to suffocate.

"Father?"

"Father?!"

"Father, are you alright?!"

Li Shuangxi shouted several times before finally calling Li Zicheng's soul back.

Li Zicheng came back to his senses, and couldn't help but feel like a knife, and his intestines were full of regret.

What kind of troops are good? Zhang Xianzhong will die if he dies, what does it matter to him?

Now it's okay, in order to save Zhang Xianzhong's shit, more than 200,000 horse infantry troops have been put in.

What made Li Zicheng want to cry without tears was that without the more than 200,000 horse infantry army, the entire Dashun would also become empty.

However, what is the saying?

The more you are afraid of something, the more you will come.

Li Zicheng was just worried about the Ming army's revolt, and as a result, messengers really followed.

Tongguan was in an emergency, and the governor of the Ming Dynasty, Nanzhi, led an army of 100,000 to approach Tongguan.

Hanzhong was in an emergency, and Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty personally led tens of thousands of elites to Xunyang County, the east gate of Hanzhong Mansion.

What made Li Zicheng even more frightened was that Taiyuan was actually lost, and Yan Yingyuan, a fierce general of the Ming army, took advantage of the emptiness of Shanxi and led the elite of the Ming army to launch a surprise attack and capture Taiyuan in one fell swoop.

The bad news that came one after another directly collapsed Li Zicheng's mentality.

In the past, when Li Zicheng was at his worst, there were only seventeen horsemen left around him, but Li Zicheng never lost confidence, because the Ming Dynasty was already decaying, as long as he persevered, he would definitely be able to turn over.

But this time was different, Li Zicheng knew that he had no chance.

Song Xiance was also dumbfounded, and even Gu Junen, who prided himself on being resourceful, was at a loss at this time.

In the face of such a situation, Gu Junen couldn't think of any countermeasures, Dashun was really gone.

Originally, he just wanted to put a little pressure on the Ming court, force the Ming army to return to the division to save himself, and help the Great Western Army to overcome the difficulties in front of him, but he lost more than 200,000 elites of the Dashun army, which Gu Junen never expected.

Just when the monarchs and ministers were relatively speechless, the great eunuch Du Zhizhi walked into the carrier hall with small steps.

"Long live Lord, today is the first day of the seventh month, the New Year's Day, do you want to ring the bell now to summon hundreds of officials to participate in the court?"

"What kind of officials are summoned, and what kind of staff are served?" Li Zicheng was furious, "You dog eunuch who rebels against the Lord and seeks glory, get out, get out of Lao Tzu, get out of the farther the better!" Get out of here! ”

"This, this, this, this ......" Du Zhizhi was scolded and stunned.

Seeing Du Zhizhi standing stupidly and not moving, Li Zicheng grabbed the inkstone on the eucalyptus and threw it at Du Zhizhi, but this time the throw turned out to be extremely accurate, and it happened to hit Du Zhizhi's forehead.

Du Zhizhi was smashed on the spot.

I'm afraid this dog eunuch never dreamed of it,

In the end, he was stoned to death by Li Zicheng with an inkstone.

Looking at Du Zhizhi, who fell to the ground and died, Song Xiance and the three of them were silent.

Gu Junen plucked up his courage and admonished: "Holy Lord, the top priority is to stabilize the situation......

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Zicheng arrogantly: "Get out, get out of me, a few of you get out of me too, get out!" It's okay to surrender to the Ming army, Chongzhen, the dog emperor, will definitely do it for a few of you! Get out of here! ”

After speaking, Li Zicheng grabbed the celadon pen holder on the imperial eucalyptus, the ink jade paperweight and even threw it down to Baoxi, and finally even overturned the entire imperial eucalyptus from the danqi.

Li Shuangxi, Song Xiance and Gu Junen could only flee.
