Chapter 54: Li Zicheng's Deliberations (I)

Li Yan made a detailed report to Li Zicheng about entering the palace yesterday.

Halfway through speaking, Li Zicheng yawned and stretched, Li Yan peeked and found that Li Zicheng was in a trance, and even a little absent-minded, so he understood that His Majesty King Chuang did not rest well at night.

He had to speak more slowly, and finally made a three-point outline of the palace procession, one was Chongzhen's proposal to let Eunuch Du enter the palace to talk about Zen concessions; General Ma Shiyao was still alive, and he and more than four brothers were captured by the Ming army; The third is to save these people, Chongzhen proposed that 6 million silver was needed to redeem them.

One and three of them need to be decided by His Majesty King Chuang, especially the second Chongzhen is only given three days, and the first day is almost halfway over.

When Li Zicheng understood, his face suddenly changed, and it was nothing to let Gonggong Du enter the palace to negotiate in person, the 6 million taels of silver blew Li Zicheng angry.

"Dusk Jun Chongzhen deceived me too much, he wanted to be crazy about silver, he asked for so much silver. It seems that Gu spoiled him, and immediately passed on Gu's will, so that Liu Zongmin could send troops and set foot on his palace!"

"Your Majesty King Chuang's anger is relieved," Li Yan hurriedly advised, "In this way, General Ma Shiyao and those four or five hundred brothers will die without a place to be buried...... If you don't save General Ma and these hundreds of brothers, the hearts of other soldiers will be cold, and His Majesty King Chuang will have to think twice! Now that my Dashun has just established the country, although the palace of Chongzhen is only a projectile land, but his army of King Qin is coming, and there is still half of the country in the south of the Yangtze River, don't forget that the Yellow Tiger in the southwest is also called the emperor, and those who win the hearts of the people win the world."

As soon as His Majesty King Chuang heard the word Yellow Tiger, he knew that this was Zhang Xianzhong, one of the eight kings, and his mind immediately cleared up.

Du's father-in-law is really a caring person, and it is really ecstatic to find this Dou beauty for him.

After tossing all night last night, the beauties of the country were there, Li Zicheng was a little carried away, and Li Yan's bitter words made him sober up.

The Ming Dynasty is over, what is the master of King Qin of the Ming Dynasty, half of the rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Zicheng can not take it to heart.

But only he couldn't let go of Zhang Xianzhong, once the two of them were brothers, fighting side by side with the Ming army, but there were conflicts in the past two years.

Li Zicheng drove away Zuo Liangyu in Wuchang, but there was internal strife. Zhang Xianzhong took the opportunity to occupy the empty city of Wuchang, and the two fell out completely. In the same year, both men became emperors and both established political powers.

Li Zicheng believes that the person who will compete with him in the future will inevitably be Zhang Xianzhong.

As for the Jiannu outside the gate, Li Zicheng didn't care about it at all. These people who ride on horseback all the year round are so vast that they will not look at the Central Plains at all.

At most, they plundered their possessions, snatched women and food, horses and livestock, and then left, the vast Siberian steppes as their ideal home.

"The words of the military advisor are reasonable, General Zhang and these hundreds of brothers must be saved, and it is definitely not the best policy to let Liu Zongmin send troops to attack the Daming Palace, since Chongzhen agrees to Chan to negotiate peace, it is only 6 million taels of silver, which is too much."

Li Yan said: "Your Majesty Shengming, 6 million taels of silver is a lot, but what is the difference between putting it here for Your Majesty and putting it for Chongzhen? Once the Chan concession is successful, these silver are not all His Majesty's, so what does it matter if Chongzhen keeps it for His Majesty for a few days for the time being? How much food can the palace in the land of projectiles have, and Chongzhen and them can toss for a few days?"

There is nothing higher than saving the driver, and there is no more ruthlessness than starvation.

Li Zicheng knew the military book policy, so he felt that Li Yan's words were very reasonable. No matter how high the martial arts of Chongzhen's father and son are, no matter how many martial arts people in the palace are, without food supply, they will definitely not be able to last long.

At that time, the silver sent into the palace was still his own.

Therefore, Li Zicheng immediately issued a decree and convened the generals to discuss the matter.

Li Zicheng ascended to the main hall, and soon the civil and military generals arrived, of course, all of them were his senior generals, several military divisions, and 22 generals, except for Ma Shiyao and Liu Rukui, of course.

Of course, the accompanying eunuchs are indispensable, Du Xun, Wang Dehua, etc.

Li Zicheng preached Li Yan's trip to the palace in public, and three questions surprised these strategists.

First of all, Chongzhen actually agreed to Chan Rang, but Dugong had to enter the palace in person

Let's talk.

Du Xun was surprised and delighted when he heard this, it seems that the old master Chongzhen is still thinking about him, he doesn't hate the miscellaneous family, and he even wants to name and talk to the miscellaneous family? It also shows that this matter is nothing more than a miscellaneous family, and he Li Yan can't do it!

Secondly, General Ma Shiyao was still alive, and there were four or five hundred brothers, Li Yan saw with his own eyes, these people were iron-clad and swore not to surrender, but Chongzhen did not kill them.

Finally, and most importantly, Ma Shiyao and these people must be saved, and the price offered by Chongzhen is 6 million taels of silver.

After Chongzhen finished talking about these three points,

Most people feel that Chongzhen has become cowardly now.

A king at the end of his rope, facing a dynasty in the twilight of the West Mountains, with no food and grass and no rescuers outside, only the palace in the land of projectiles remains, and there are 1,800 people under his hands.

Can it be done without cowardice?

So he had to agree to Chan Rang, the reason why Du Gonggong was allowed to enter Beijing to negotiate was to get more benefits, don't forget that this time he didn't kill the prisoners and let Li Yan pass the word that he wanted 6 million taels of silver to ransom the prisoners, and the intention was more obvious.

At this time, Liu Zongmin quarreled, "King Chuang, the silver can't be given to the faint king, wait for me to go out in person, kill into the palace, and catch Chongzhen to save people."

Li Zicheng said, "Jiexuan, I thought the same as you at the beginning. But this is not appropriate, a group of masters of the rivers and lakes of the Dujun father and son network are stubbornly resisting, and they can only outwit them, not attack hard. Otherwise, before you enter the palace, Shiyao and the heads of those hundreds of brothers will move."

Liu Zongmin said: "But King Chuang, 6 million taels of silver is equivalent to draining us. Hundreds of thousands of our troops are going to drink the northwest wind?"

"Therefore Lone has sent you here to discuss this issue. Li Junshi Gao saw that the silver in our hands was the same as the temporary storage in the palace of the Ming Dynasty, and the fertilizer and water did not flow into the fields of outsiders. It's just that we can't use it at the moment, so that the food and salary of hundreds of thousands of troops can only support five days, and if we can't raise food and salary after five days, then we will really drink the northwest wind. I wonder what the prime minister has to do?"

Li Zicheng must ask Niu Jinxing whenever there is a big event.

Niu Jinxing's triangular eyes turned, "Lord, we can give him the silver, and then let Du Gonggong enter the palace immediately, save people and Zen at the same time, the Lord is in full swing to choose a good day and auspicious day to ascend to the throne hall, and announce it to the world in three days, by then the world will be the Lord, are you still worried about no food?"

Niu Jinxing has always wanted Li Zicheng to ascend the throne in the capital and claim the title of emperor again. The time in Xi'an at the beginning of the year is not counted, it only makes sense to be the emperor in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the good days and auspicious days have been picked for him.

This is right in Li Zicheng's arms.

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
