Dangyang County Yamen, Zhang Xianzhong sat in the hall, listening to his godson Zhang Kewang with envy and hatred talking about Luoyang being attacked by Li Zicheng.

"Li Zicheng rescued Niu Jinxing in Baofeng County, and a warlock named Song Xiance defected to Li Zicheng."

Zhang Kewang said, "Later, there was another Li Gongzi, who is said to be the son of Li Jingbai, the governor of Shandong."

"This Li Zicheng is too scary, he was still wandering in the mountains a few days ago, and now he has captured the big city and sent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the people."

Zhang Wenxiu said on the side.

"Not really." Zhang Nengqi took over the conversation, "Hey! This is also the time dictate. Let's run from Sichuan to Huguang, along the way, *** Yang Sichang stared at us and ignored Li Zicheng."

"Say no more!"

Zhang Xianzhong was angry and ordered his godsons to stop.

It turned out that Zhang Xianzhong was in Sichuan and was chased and intercepted by Yang Sichang. Although there were occasional big victories, he was forced to leave Sichuan.

Now living in Dangyang, I am worried about where to hit next.

On the other hand, Li Zicheng, because the elite of the Ming Dynasty was either guarding Yang Chengying in the northern border, or encircling and suppressing Zhang Xianzhong in the ravines and ravines of Sichuan, and taking Luoyang in one go.

The more Zhang Xianzhong thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but scold: "Yang Sichang, the thief, our Lao Tzu didn't sleep with his mother, this *** is chasing our Lao Tzu......

scolded Yang Sichang for a while, and then scolded Li Zicheng: "The thief is annoying Huang Wazi, we have given the poor people a bite to eat, and this donkey ball is still fucking silver!"

The godsons listened silently, thinking in their hearts, even if you have something to say, don't do it.

Everyone ate Zhang Xianzhong's beating, and when they thought about it, their backs were hot.

"Zhang Kewang!"

After scolding Li Zicheng for a while, Zhang Xianzhong suddenly stopped and shouted.

"Yes."

Zhang Kewang's body trembled.

"You took three hundred cavalry, disguised as an official army, to open the gate of Xiangyang City."

"Xiangyang?" Zhang Kewang thought he had misheard.

"Do your mother's ears have breath? Or is it that we Lao Tzu is not talking about human words!"

"Father-in-law, let's be in Dangyang!"

"Damn ......" Zhang Xianzhong raised his horsewhip and gave Zhang Kewang a look, "We know that this is Dangyang, won't you fucking go to Xiangyang?"

"My son knows."

Zhang Kewang took a painful breath.

He had a flexible mind and quickly figured out that his father-in-law was going to attack Xiangyang.

"Yang Sichang's donkey ball has won the trust of the faint monarch Chongzhen, and there is no need to 'trap him, he can't be killed.'"

Zhang Xianzhong said: "We Laozi have long heard that there are several vassal kings in Xiangyang City, and our Laozi sneak attack to get Xiangyang, hehe...... It's enough for Yang Sichang's kid to drink a pot."

The crime of trapping a vassal comes from the law of the Ming Dynasty.

When the city where the vassal king is located falls, the governor in charge of the region is sent to prison and killed.

Zhang Xianzhong led the army to gallop for a day and night and arrived at the city of Xiangyang.

Before him, Zhang Kewang had already sent 300 cavalry to infiltrate Xiangyang in the name of urging and escorting grain and grass.

Xiangyang officials, including Zhang Kejian, not only did not question the origin of this group of people, but stepped up supervision of grain and grass.

After Zhang Xianzhong arrived, on the fourth day of the first month of the tenth year of Chongzhen, he launched an attack on Xiangyang.

Zhang Kewang and others, who were lurking in the city, took the opportunity to open the city gate and introduce Zhang Xianzhong's troops into the city.

In this way, Zhang Xianzhong took Xiangyang without much effort.

Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiangyang, was escorted to Zhang Xianzhong by soldiers.

Zhu Yuanzhang appointed the four princes Zhu Di in a lineage, and the order of the twenty-four characters: Gao Zhan Qi Jianyou, Hou Zai Yi Changyou, Ci He Yi Bozhong, and Jian Jingdi Xianyou.

Zhu Yiming is Chongzhen's grandfather.

Seeing Zhang Xianzhong, Zhu Yiming scolded.

Zhang Xianzhong didn't care, but felt that this prince was a prince in the end, and he scolded people

Compared to him, he is still far behind.

"This prince, we Lao Tzu know that your reputation is still better than that of King Fu. Let's give you preferential treatment, and don't let you be beaten and beheaded."

Zhang Xianzhong plucked his ears with an ear picker, and casually pointed to a bowl of wine on the table, "You drink it, let's let you go back."

Zhu Yiming is not stupid, he knows that this is a cup of poisonous wine, and he refuses to drink it.

Zhang Xianzhong was angry: "You fucking shameless, come on, pour it into our old man."

The soldier pressed Zhu Yiming to a chair.

A soldier pinched his chin with one hand and poisoned wine in the other, pouring it into Zhu Yiming's mouth.

In the blink of an eye, most of it was drunk.

Zhang Xianzhong shouted on the side: "Let him drink it, and there will be no drop left."

Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiang, drank a large bowl of poisonous wine, struggled on the chair in pain, but could not leave because he was held down by the soldiers.

The last life whine.

"Burn his body with the rest of the king's house, so that there may be no place for the mourners."

Zhang Xianzhong ordered again.

So, the soldiers dragged the body of Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiang, out.

Before King Xiang was dragged away, another King of Guiyang came.

Zhang Xianzhong didn't talk nonsense with him anymore, and directly let people drag him out and cut him on the Cheng Building.

After doing this, Zhang Xianzhong called his godsons to him and instructed:

"Li Zicheng's donkey ball gave hundreds of thousands of taels to the people, and our Lao Tzu can't be worse than him. You take out 150,000 taels of silver from the Xiangwang Mansion and give it to the people, and say it to the outside world...... 500,000 sent, did you hear that?"

"Got it, Da."

The godsons answered and went out to hand out the money.

Li Zicheng captured Luoyang, Zhang Xianzhong took Xiangyang, and a series of news that King Fu, King Xiang and other Ming Dynasty princes were killed spread to Guanwai.

At this time, Yang Chengying was arranging plans for the new year, preparing to go north for the second time and inspect the northeast region.

Upon receiving the news, he immediately abandoned the plan.

"It's a bit surprising that the situation in Kannai has taken such a turn for the worse."

Yang Chengying finished reading the Di newspaper, in addition to being surprised, he was even a little caught off guard.

According to his assumption, without the Qing army, the Ming court would have less pressure from the north and go all out to deal with the peasant army, which would be difficult to raise its head in a short time.

To this end, Yang Chengying formulated a "rice and flour oil" plan during the court meeting.

We are preparing to make every effort to develop agriculture-related technologies, including fertilizers, with a view to increasing food production in the country.

Unexpectedly, the situation was even worse. What was supposed to happen in 1641 was brought forward to 1636.

"There is no Houjin, but the king is here."

Ning Wan I am not a wise man, and I guessed Yang Chengying's thoughts at once, "In order to guard against the king, the Ming court arranged the two most important governors in the north, and also supported a lot of money and food."

"Yes, after all, my power has stretched across Mongolia to Ningxia."

Yang Chengying smiled bitterly and shook his head, the will of heaven was hard to disobey.

He was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Zu Zepei walking inside.

"What's wrong?"

"Cao Huachun in the palace has come with a secret edict."

"It's coming so fast."

As soon as Cao Huachun left the capital, Yang Chengying got the news.

It is estimated that this father-in-law should not arrive in Shenyang until February, and he does not want to arrive in Shenyang on the 20th of the first month.
