Chongzhen's words were amazing.

Wang Chengen's big white face looked at Chongzhen, and his eyes kept flashing, "Master, forgive the old slave for being stupid, why did you say this?"

Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin are both bandits, that Chongzhen has been suppressing bandits for more than ten years with the strength of the whole country, but Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin, who finally suppressed bandits, ran to the capital of Daming to toss, and Chongzhen only hanged himself on the coal mountain.

Now Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin can bring about their own destruction?

Even if Wu Sangui won battles one after another in the past two months, Li Zicheng was driven to an untenable position, from Shanhaiguan to Daming Capital, then to Hebei to Shanxi, and then to Shaanxi, all the way to retreat, even vulnerable.

But so what?

At that time, Li Zicheng only had 17 soldiers and generals left to accompany him, didn't he make a comeback?

Swept Henan, occupied Shaanxi, sent troops to Shanxi and Hebei, and won the capital of the Ming Dynasty in just a few months with the momentum of destroying the ancient and decaying, forcing the Ming Emperor Chongzhen to hang himself in the coal mountain.

This was just a few months ago, how could the Ming Emperor dare to make such reckless remarks, this time Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin will bring about their own destruction?

Speaking of darkness, Wang Chengen didn't believe it either.

Even Li Yan felt in his heart at this time that Chongzhen was also a little exaggerated.

In recent years, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have been the little powerhouses that the imperial court can't beat, and as for victory or defeat, it is a common thing for soldiers, and it doesn't explain anything at all.

Chongzhen said even more amazingly, "Wang Daban doesn't know, Dashun's military strength is exhausted, this time Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin will not last long, it is June at most, at most the two of them can still toss for a year and three months."

Wang Daban and Li Yan are both dumbfounded, the emperor is more accurate than those fortune tellers on the rivers and lakes?

Chongzhen was full of confidence, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, my prophecy will never be wrong, if you don't believe it, you will wait and see. Next, I will come to Henan, and after Henan supplies the soldiers and horses, I will go out to Jianghuai to pacify those rebellious ministers and thieves in the Southern Ming Dynasty."

When the word Nanming was mentioned, Wang Chengen and Li Yan were both ignorant.

This Daming is not finished, where did Nanming come from?

Chongzhen said: "Wang Daban, Li Gongzi, haven't you heard that the blessed king Zhu Yousong went into exile in the south of the Yangtze River, and actually ascended the throne in Nanjing, calling himself Emperor Hongguang."

According to historical records, Chongzhen knew that Zhu Yousong's ascension to the throne was in early May, and it was only mid-June.

Wang Chengen's big white face trembled, "Master, the old slave heard some rumors in Nandu, but he didn't know whether it was true or not, and he didn't dare to say it. King Fu ascends the throne, it's unlikely, right?"

"No, it's true." Chongzhen Road.

Wang Chengen scolded: "King Fu is really dead, this emperor is so deceived, he actually went to Nanjing to claim the emperor?"

Chongzhen sneered, "This can't all be blamed on King Fu, the emperor also has times when he can't help himself, for example, this pseudo-emperor Zhu Yousong. This cousin of mine has been able to make great contributions to the ministers of Yanziji, Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, Han Zanzhou, and the general soldiers of the four towns of Jiangbei, such as Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, Huang Degong, etc."

"If it weren't for the intrigue of these civil and military ministers, fighting for power and profit, and persuading each other to advance, Zhu Yousong would have difficulty walking with a fat body, what country and what palace would he supervise?"

Wang Chengen gritted his teeth and scolded, "These chaotic ministers and thieves are innocent of death, but Han Zanzhou, an old thing, has always been loyal to the imperial court, and he even waded into troubled waters, which is really killable!"

Li Yan said: "Your Majesty, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, but it must not have two masters at the same time, since these rebellious ministers and thieves are tossing in Nanjing, we should quickly send troops to eliminate them in one fell swoop."

"Childe is right, I will send troops to Jianghuai next, and the sword will be pointed at Nanjing." Chongzhen Road.

It was now the middle of June in 1644.

Chongzhen lived in Zhending Mansion for a total of 20 days, during which Chongzhen recruited thousands of soldiers and horses, and also incorporated some rebel armies against Dashun from all over the country, and gathered together to get tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Chongzhen sent an edict to Wang Chengen to reorganize them, and after they were organized into the Ming army, the emperor was here for them to perform, and the magistrates of these cities donated some silver and food.

In addition, the crown prince Zhu Cihong, who was responsible for raising grain and grass for Chongzhen, ordered Jin Xuan, the squire of the military department, and Li Meng, the general, to send a batch of grain, grass and silver from the capital.

In the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty, the court was not worried about the generals, but about food and silver, as long as there was food and silver, there were no soldiers and horses.

Chongzhen immediately gave these men and horses food and wages, let them line up, and each person sent two taels of silver to them, the same treatment as the soldiers of the Beijing camp.

It is equivalent to doubling the monthly salary for them, which is something they dare not think of.

These people were grateful when they got the money, all for the sake of food and soldiers, and now not only can they have food to eat, but the money can also be distributed to them in full, which is what they dream of.

Chongzhen's move greatly stabilized the morale of the army.

Chongzhen asked these 10,000 men to stay and temporarily hold Qingdu, Baoding, Dingzhou and Zhending and other prefectures and counties.

Now that Ma Bao's injuries have healed, Chongzhen continued to take his 30,000 horses and horses from Zhending and traveled all the way south to Henan......
