"The imperial palace in this projectile land, the place is too small, at least the thieves have to be allowed to withdraw from the imperial city." Chongzhen gestured with his hand.

"Okay, yes, sir, can the thief agree?" Wang Chengen held a lantern and looked at Chongzhen with shining black eyes.

20 million taels of silver and 2,000 quintals of grain are already a lion's mouth, and it is estimated that Li Zicheng and they are having a stomachache.

If the prince plans to change the hexagram at this time and make them withdraw from the imperial city even harder, the bow will be easy to break if it is too full.

"If you don't agree, you have to agree, and they can't do it. is still the same sentence, unless he intends to abandon Liu Zongmin's three captives. But I don't believe that Li Zicheng can leave Liu Zongmin?"

"Emperor Mingjian, we now have 5,000 soldiers and horses, and we have enough money and food, so it's time for these thieves to move their nests."

Wang Chengen is very longing, if he really drives the thieves out of the imperial city this time, it is possible to drive them out of the capital in the future, then the emperor will really turn the tables.

……

The day dawned, and the red sun rose in the east.

Everything was calm in the Dashun military camp, and Li Zicheng didn't know about the trouble in the palace last night.

For Li Zicheng, the three-day deadline is coming in the blink of an eye.

If Li Zicheng did not act according to the agreement between Chongzhen and the monk, Chongzhen planned to kill Liu Zongmin, Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi at the head of the city today.

However, Li Zicheng had already prepared, 20 million taels of silver and 2,000 stone of grain, handed over to Liu Fangliang, Li Yan and monk Likong, and still brought 1,000 soldiers and horses to escort the silver and grain carts.

This time, more than 200 large and small cars were loaded, and the two teams of cars formed a long queue.

Li Yan, Liu Fangliang and the empty monk took the men and horses to escort the silver and grain carts, left Li Zicheng's camp and came to the Wuchao Gate.

Li Zicheng took Niu Jinxing to send Xiance and others out of the camp.

Of course, Li Zicheng had to witness and pay attention to the whole process of this negotiation.

First, because the conditions mentioned by Chongzhen this time are a bit harsh. In the past, both sides paid money with one hand and handed over people with the other. Not now, now is after they obediently send the silver and food to the palace, and then Chongzhen plans to release them.

This kind of negotiation is divided into before and after, just like buying something, you give me the money first, and I will give you the thing later, and the two armies are hostile, and this kind of suspense will inevitably make people suspicious.

Second, because the amount of this negotiation is huge, 20 million taels of silver can support tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and 2,000 loads of grain, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can eat for two months.

Compared with the last time of 1,000 taels of silver and 1,000 loads of grain, the whole thing has doubled, and this dog emperor's appetite is too great.

The more important reason is that this time it is to rescue Liu Zongmin, and Li Zicheng must meet him personally.

For these three reasons, Li Zicheng also made full preparations, and he mobilized all the 200,000 troops in the inner city and the imperial city.

In addition, the martial arts people in the rivers and lakes, the beggars and the wolf gang also followed.

If this dog emperor dares to play tricks, he must step on the palace.

In short, in order to save Liu Zongmin, Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi this time, Li Zicheng is determined to win it at all costs.

Surrounded by all the generals, Li Zicheng came to the bank of the moat.

……

While walking forward, Liu Fangliang said to the empty air: "Master, according to the agreement between you and Chongzhen, we will give him the silver and grain first, and when the time comes, he will not let him go, what should I do if I play tricks?"

"He dares!" He glared at him, "If he dares to play with the poor monk, the poor monk will splash his blood in the palace, and our Shaolin sect is not for people to play."

Li Yan also said: "However, we have dealt with Chongzhen a few times, according to Li, Chongzhen is not a dishonest person, he got silver and food, and he will definitely release him."

"If Chongzhen wanted to kill someone, he wouldn't have waited until now, he was just using this as a hostage, and the purpose was still silver and food. Fortunately, His Majesty is blessed with great fortune, and we now have silver and food."

"What the military advisor said is that the Dog Emperor is poor and crazy, and he only has money in his eyes!" Liu Fangliang took a sip.

Outside the noon gate, the vehicle stopped.

Li Yan, Liu Fangliang and the head of the empty king city watched.

On the tower of the noon gate, the Ming army had already set up an execution ground.

Liu Zongmin was in the center, Hao Shaoqi on the left, Yuan Zongdi on the right, and the three captives had been taken to the city.

This time, of course, it was Jinyiwei.

Behind each captive stood three brocade guards, and the embroidered spring knives in flying fish suits stood out in the sun.

Three bright steel knives, fully prepared to behead these three captives at any time.

The city was also littered with archers, and muskets from the firearms battalion could be seen aimed at the three captives.

In fact, it is said that it is a battalion, but in fact, it is only 30 firearms, or in different forms, it is simply nondescript.

But it is a mutton, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, such an object was already a murderous artifact, enough to kill the city

Rat-throwing, unless they really let go of the three captives.

But Chongzhen has already settled on Li Zicheng, and he is absolutely inseparable from Liu Zongmin at this time.

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
