But at this time, the city of Beijing was not completely in the hands of Li Zicheng, and the 5,000 Ming soldiers led by Zhu Cihong, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, still occupied the imperial city and the palace city.

At this time, Li Zicheng didn't care about attacking the Ming prince and taking the Ming Palace before ascending the throne, because it was too late.

In mid-May (half a month later than Li Zicheng's ascension to the throne in Beijing), Li Zicheng hurriedly carried out a brief enthronement ceremony in the inner city of the Ming capital and outside the Chengtian Gate under the intensive planning of Niu Jinxing overnight.

Across the moat, Zhu Cihong, the prince of the Ming Dynasty at the head of the city, took the generals Jin Xuan, Wang Jiayan, Gong Yonggu, Li Ruolian and a group of civil and military officers, and waited for the battle.

When he learned that Li Zicheng was there, he was stunned.

"How dare these thieves be so provocative, come to Kaicheng, go out of the city with the main palace, and kill them on their backs!" Zhu Cihong was furious.

After Zhu Cihong was rescued by Chongzhen from the Chengguo Mansion, he spent 100,000 taels of silver on him and taught him a set of 64-way overlord halberds, he is now a master of the 5th layer of the body refining realm, and he will never lose to Li Zicheng's generals Li Yan and Liu Fangliang and others in terms of force.

When Chongzhen left the capital, he sent a decree to Zhu Cihong to temporarily supervise the country, but in fact, he was in charge of a palace and the imperial city, because the outside was full of Ming thieves.

But even so, as the prince of Daming, he couldn't tolerate Li Zicheng tossing so much under his nose.

He felt that this was detrimental to the prestige of the Ming Dynasty and insulted the power of his father.

"Your Highness must not ...... We are outnumbered, and the thieves are outnumbered, so perhaps this is their ruse."

"The emperor can let us defend the city, it is not appropriate to go out of the city to fight, if we go out of the city, His Royal Highness needs to ask for an order."

"Your Royal Highness, since the thieves have returned from the defeat of Shanhaiguan, the emperor will soon move back to the court, I heard that the battle of Shanhaiguan, I have won the battle in the Ming Dynasty, at this time, His Royal Highness must not fall for the thief's plan to lure the enemy, lose the imperial city and the palace, the consequences are unimaginable, Your Highness must think twice."

Chongzhen secretly left the palace at the beginning, and announced to the public that he would retreat and cultivate, and let the prince be in charge of the country for a month. Now that he has left the palace for two months, the news that Chongzhen Weifu is coming to Shanhaiguan has become an unannounced secret.

Jin Xuan, Wang Jiayan and Gong Yonggu persuaded each other.

At this time, Zhu Cihong didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, so he had to take the civil and military officials and watch Li Zicheng toss outside the Chengtian Gate at the head of the city......

Under the heavy protection of Li Yan and Liu Fangliang, a greenhouse was temporarily erected outside the Chengtian Gate, which was for the Dashun Palace.

The auspicious time of this day. Li Zicheng held a simple enthronement ceremony, with gongs and drums and firecrackers ringing out.

In the midst of cheers, Li Zicheng wore a dragon crown and a dragon robe, and sat on the dragon chair in the open-air tent to accept the worship of hundreds of officials.

The civil officials are headed by Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, the military generals are headed by Liu Zongmin, Li Yan, Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, Hao Shaoqi, Yuan Zongdi, etc., and the civil and military officials perform three hundred and nine knocks, and the mountain calls long live.

Representatives of the Jianghu martial arts faction who supported Li Zicheng were also present, including the four famous monks of the Shaolin faction, Zhao Gang, the master of the Wudang faction, and the two protectors of the Heaven and Earth Sect, as well as the beggars, the wolf gang, and the Lujiazhuang, and so on.

At this time, Liu Zongmin's injuries had not yet healed, and with his pain, he participated in the ceremony with a scolding.

As soon as the enthronement ceremony was completed, the battle report came out.

The 40,000 men and horses of the Qing-Wu coalition army were killed in the eastern suburbs of the capital.

Because Liu Zongmin was injured, Emperor Dashun had just ascended the throne, and the generals Li Yan and Liu Fangliang asked for help to fight against Wu Sangui.

And Li Guo, the nephew of Li Zicheng, who is known as a tiger, is relatively calm at this time, because he has been beaten by Wu Sangui and Duoduo along the way.

What's even more dramatic is that now that the enthronement is complete, Li Zicheng's two major think tanks are at a loss.

Niu Venus, who is known as knowing astronomy and geography, often uses Zhuge Liang's self-metaphor, and Song Xiance, who is an unpredictable prophet, are all poor in donkey skills and do not say a word.

Li Zicheng sighed and waved his hand to Li Yan and Liu Fangliang, who asked for the battle, "The two Qing families, Wu Sangui, a dog thief, has the support of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he can't be defeated, otherwise, I would have cut off his dog head a long time ago."

Li Zicheng was also scared.

Don't say that Li Zicheng, from Shanhaiguan to Daming Capital for more than 800 miles, fight one defeat after another, who can withstand such a defeat?

He was the only one who survived.

The other person had already fallen down and collapsed.

Now he Li Zicheng has not only survived, but can also ascend the throne and sit in the palace here.

The imperial city of Miyagi is the Ming army, and Wu Sangui and the *** army are pressed outside, so he occupies the inner city and the outer city, but it still does not affect the enthronement and sitting in the palace, which is worthy of Li Zicheng!

"Your Majesty has a good way to withdraw from the army?" Li Yan and Liu Fangliang looked at Li Zicheng puzzled, don't let us fight, Wu Sangui and Manchu *** have already killed at the doorstep. How can they give up?

Li Zicheng nodded, and only said one word, "withdraw".

Remove? Li Yan and Liu Fangliang also thought that Li Zicheng had some clever strategy, and it turned out to be to withdraw his troops.

But where to retreat?

This is already the capital of the Dashun Army, and the emperor ascended the throne here for a day.

Li Zicheng's words are amazing, not only Li Yan and Liu Fangliang, but also Niu Jinxing, Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, Hao Shaoqi, Yuan Zongdi, etc., civil and military officials looked at each other.

Only Song Xiance, the founding military division, still had that expression, closed his eyes and was silent.

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
