"Toot ~ Toot ~ "

"Bang dang...... Bang dang ......"

A steam locomotive "Lion" was driving on the tracks, and the chimney was spewing white smoke, which was not very fast.

However, Yang Chengying, who was sitting in the first class cabin, obviously felt that the bump was lighter than before.

Yang Chengying was dressed in white, and even his cloak to protect him from the cold was white.

He also carried a bottle of tear-jerking chili water on his body, just in case he needed it.

The whole person has moved away from romanticism.

The reason for this appearance is because Yang Chengying needs to be famous under the banner of "revenge for Chongzhen".

At the same time, he confused the clans, nobles, big bureaucrats and big landlords of the Jingshi.

Yang Chengying has been "self-respecting" outside the customs for many years, and already has a mature and efficient team, an invincible modern army.

But he still did this, not to continue to appoint those people, but to prevent them from helping Li Zicheng.

Because he will be a man even more thorough than Li Zicheng, completely overthrowing the big landlords and the big bureaucratic class and paving the way for industrialization.

Without institutionalized industrialization, it is destined to be short-lived.

The train stopped at Jinzhou Station, and a guard delivered another letter, which was from the capital.

Yang Chengying unfolded the letter, glanced at it, and handed it to Ning Wan, who was accompanying him.

Ning Wan took the letter happily, bowed his head and read, "Li Zicheng found Chongzhen who hanged himself on the coal mountain on the 22nd and ordered him to be buried thickly."

"Li Zicheng has matured, which also means that he has lost the opportunity to integrate the major forces."

Dolgon, who was traveling with him, commented: "He raised troops in the name of overthrowing the Ming court, but after his success, he buried Chongzhen. Even if he loses his prestige in front of the other peasant armies, those Ming courtiers in Jiangnan and Jiangbei will not submit to him."

This is different from Yang Chengying's thick burial of Huang Taiji's father and son.

The regime established by Nurhachi was seen by many as a rebellion at the time.

Yang Chengying eliminated the rebel forces and buried the leaders of the rebel forces, and in the eyes of some literati and doctors, he belonged to the "feudal town" in the late Tang Dynasty, and his vigilance was not high.

Li Zicheng overthrew the Central Plains Dynasty, and he was the most feared common people of the bureaucracy, and he reaped the greatest hatred.

Ning Wan smiled and said, "The best is still to come. Zhu Chunchen, who was trusted by Chongzhen, actually packed the three princes and gave them to Li Zicheng."

As he spoke, he handed the letter to Dorgon, who was sitting across from him.

Yang Chengying smiled and said, "It's really a trust, and Zhu Chunchen is also ashamed of the word 'Chunchen'."

"However, I don't understand why Li Zicheng decided to bury the Son of Heaven and treat Chongzhen's three sons well, why he was wantonly 'handcuffed' in Beijing."

Sitting opposite Yang Cheng was Yan Mingtai, the future governor of Zhili.

Together with Fan Wencheng, the second batch of people who entered Beijing, he will preside over the confirmation of land rights and the maintenance of stability in the Gyeonggi area.

Yang Chengying did not find it strange: "Li Zicheng's financial resources are all handcuffed and paid for the time being, and it will not change in a short period of time. Even if he wanted to change, his men wouldn't agree. It's not that his men have lost their spirit, but that without a source of income from handcuffs, the army will not be able to sustain."

"It can't be helped. The whole of Shaanxi has been shattered, and Shanxi, Xuanfu and other places have just been pacified, and there is no time to establish localities and collect taxes."

When I said this, I was full of smiles.

Let Li Zicheng enter Beijing so smoothly, there is also his share of credit.

The whistle sounded suddenly, indicating that the train was about to start.

Yang Chengying and the other three all chose not to speak sensibly, the sound of the train was a bit loud, and speaking loudly was very unfriendly to the throat.

As the third whistle ended, the steam locomotive began to wrew, moving slowly at first, then faster and faster, faster and faster.

The scenery along the way was quickly left behind.

As soon as he arrived at Ningyuanzhou Station, the second letter was delivered to Yang Chengying, but it was not from the capital, but Hong Chengchou himself.

The letter was sent from Shanhaiguan.

Unfolded the letter and just read the beginning, Yang Chengying's face was instantly awe-inspiring.

Yan Mingtai, who was sitting opposite, noticed that his expression had changed, and asked nervously:

"What's wrong?"

"Not long ago, Hong Chengchou defeated Tang Tong's 8,000 soldiers and horses at Funing, but encountered Zheng Jiadong, who came to meet him later, forcing Hong Chengchou to be unable to expand the results of the battle and lead his army to retreat to Shanhaiguan. However, according to his estimate, Li Zicheng is coming!"

"It seems that the other party has realized that if they want to stabilize the north, they must first eliminate Hong Chengchou and occupy Shanhaiguan." Ning finished my analysis.

"It's useless to occupy Shanhaiguan, nerds will think that as long as they get Shanhaiguan, everything will be fine." "As long as the city wall is destroyed, it can be demolished, and pickaxes, chariots, and cannons can be done."

He once made a detour with Huang Taiji and others to Jizhen and entered the Beijing Division.

He also invaded Gyeonggi twice from the demolition of the Great Wall, so it can be said that the situation of the Great Wall is clear at a glance.

Yang Chengying nodded: "It seems that the other party's target is not only Hong Chengchou, but also us."

The generals in the carriage heard that Li Zicheng's target was them, and they were eager to try it one by one.

Defeating Lee Zicheng and capturing the Gyeonggi region was an important step in unifying the world.

This is a great military feat destined to go down in history!

"Immediately tell Hong Chengchou and let him try to figure out how many soldiers and horses Li Zicheng sent to attack Shanhaiguan."

Yang Chengying put the letter away and looked at the person who sent it.

The messenger clenched his fists and left the carriage under the guidance of the guards.

"Inform the entourage that we are not leaving." Yang Cheng responded, "Tell Ning Yuan Zhizhou that we will borrow a treasure from him and rest for the night."

According to the original plan, he set off on the afternoon of the 23rd, rested at Yaozhou Station for a day, and arrived at Zhonghousuo Town on the 24th, where he rested and observed the situation.

Yang Chengying chose to live in Ningyuan Prefecture.

"Living in Ningyuan Prefecture?" Dolgon asked, a little incredulous: "Li Zicheng's army is pressing, Hong Chengchou is in danger, why is His Highness still lingering in Ningyuan Prefecture?"

"Don't look at Hong Chengchou who obeys me on the surface, but in his bones he is actually an ambitious big man."

Yang Chengying has always been very smooth in his thinking, full of confidence in grasping personnel: "I don't take this opportunity to let him feel the strength of the peasant army, he will not be completely loyal to me.

Besides, I will rely on him to pass through the northwest in the future, and I have to let him know some things in advance, after all, the proud army will be defeated."

As he spoke, Yang Chengying's eyes lit up, and he confidently tapped the table with his fingers: "Especially if he wins Tang Tong, he has to make him suffer a little more."

Dorgon understood.

His Royal Highness will definitely act against the bureaucrats when he is stationed in Beijing, and Hong Chengchou, who belongs to the same class, will inevitably have sympathy for "the rabbit dies and the fox is sad". ap.

It is very risky to send such a person to pass through the northwest.

It must be beaten in advance, and at the same time, he must be clearly aware that if he does not rely on His Highness, he is a useless overseer.

Thinking of this, Dorgon felt that his rational choice to surrender was the right thing to do.

Otherwise, he is the same as Huang Taiji, and the grass on the grave is several feet high.

The elder brother Azig and the younger brother Duoduo dragged the family and came to cry for the grave during the Qingming Festival.

was thinking about it, but saw that Yang Chengying had already gotten up, and under the protection of the guards, he left the carriage and went to the mansion of Ningyuan Prefecture.
