Li Zicheng nodded heavily, and said loudly: "Ruhou, blacksmith background, Liu Fangliang and Li Guo, born in farming.

One by one, none of you are from a high background, but you became a general, and you only learned to read and write. But you can also understand a command document, the Four Books and the Five Classics, you can't read it.

I thought that the more I read, the broader my mind became, and the more sensible I was, but now it seems that it is not, and the ones who really know the general situation are you rough men who fight the world with me. Those who read books, those who have meritorious fame, are precisely those who ridicule meritorious heroes and make bad remarks.

"Why is that?" you say? ”

Everyone didn't dare to take this, they all knew that Li Zicheng had something to say, and among the people present, Song Xiance was the first to react, glanced at Niu Jinxing, and found that this guy's face was full of uneasy expressions, and beads of sweat were rolling down, constantly wiping.

Li Zicheng continued: "That's because, in this Dashun world, it was our people who fought desperately with a knife and a gun, and we all know that it is not easy to come down in this world, so naturally we don't want to ignore the overall situation at this time of crisis, because we have suffered a little loss and been wronged." ”

As soon as these words came out, many of the generals were red-eyed, they just thought so, and to be recognized and praised by Li Zicheng, it seemed that those grievances were nothing.

Li Zicheng took a sip of water and continued: "When I entered the capital and saw this world of flowers, someone was dizzy, who was it?" ”

Everyone was silent, during the period of chasing stolen goods and salaries, Liu Zongmin and other generals also took the opportunity to make a lot of windfalls, Liu Fangliang was originally stationed in the Baoding area, and heard that the capital was chasing stolen goods and salaries, and hurriedly came, but with the entry of the eastern captives, the big guys began to enter a state of war again, and even fought a few battles, everyone had no merit and hard work, and now the enemy army is threatening on the left, and everyone thinks that the emperor will not look for trouble at this time.

Niu Jinxing heard this, but his whole body trembled, the generals went out to fight, but he was in the capital to make a big profit, the two of them used private people indiscriminately, thinking that today's emperor was talking behind closed doors, just to dispose of himself, so he trembled, and he was about to kneel on the ground, but Li Zicheng's following words made him feel alive.

Li Zicheng said: "This one who is dizzy is me." As soon as you enter the capital, you will chase the stolen goods and enjoy the victory if you don't do anything else.

That Li Zhaoji is right, if we don't delay the capital for these twenty days, take the capital, attack Shanhaiguan immediately, and at the same time give Wu Sangui a big reward, even if Wu Sangui doesn't surrender, he should be beaten down by us. If he Wu Sangui surrenders, we will add 50,000 fresh troops, and in Yanggezhuang, we may not be able to defeat the Qing army.

Although we got a lot of silver, and there was no shortage of money in the army, there was one local gentry who no longer dared to get close to us.

Now it's good, as soon as the Qing army arrived, many gentry around Gyeonggi killed our Dashun officials, joined the Qing army, and brought food and livestock to the Qing army to fight us.

Again, don't listen to people's persuasion, that Li Zhaoji, early on proved that the Manchu Qing Dynasty came out of the empty country, I have to wait for the Qing army to enter the Kou, and then send reinforcements, and it took half a month to waste half a month, if the soldiers and horses from Shaanxi, Gansu and the Central Plains were transferred at the beginning, this would have already gone halfway, and we would not have to worry about the Qing army attacking the capital. ”

Li Zicheng sentence by sentence, what he said was his own fault, it was simply a crime of his own edict, the generals and officials all bowed their heads, and many people also reflected on themselves, especially Liu Zongmin, he now regrets it very much, after entering Beijing, he should not have robbed that Chen Yuanyuan, and provoked Wu Sangui to have one more reason not to surrender as soon as possible.

Seeing that everyone was drooping their heads, Li Zicheng said: "I'm not the only one who is dizzy, but you are also dizzy." But we also suffered losses because of dizziness, several major battles, each battalion suffered a lot of losses, that is our old army, the foundation of the world, those who died, my heart is dripping blood, and you are also crying.

The death of these brothers made us all pay the price, I, the emperor, put this dragon chair before it was warmed, and the Qing army arrived in the capital, making me restless.

Since the price has been paid, those dizzy things will not be said. ”

Hearing this, Niu Jinxing let out a sigh of relief, and sat down a little more steadily, Li Zicheng glanced at him and said, "Then in this Qianqing Palace, have you done anything dizzy, but you haven't paid the price at all?"

Do you want me to point it out for you? ”

Bang Dang!

With the sound of a chair falling to the ground, Niu Jinxing, who thought he had escaped the catastrophe, finally realized that he couldn't get over this hurdle today, so he immediately knelt on the ground, fell to the ground and cried, and shouted: "Weichen should die, Weichen should die...... We're fascinated. ”

Li Zicheng nodded: "The prime minister knows that he is talking about him, and he is also a shameful person, well, just by taking the initiative to admit it, there is something to be forgiven." ”

With that, Li Zicheng walked down the steps, came to Niu Jinxing, and said, "You stand up and let the big guy take a look."

Let's take a look, we have been in Beijing since March 19, and it has been more than two months now.

The military advisor and I, boiled red eyes, white head, and then looked at Ruhou, Yihou, Bohou, Cihou, which one was not injured, especially Yihou, in the battle of Wallziling, he was injured, the old injury was not healed, and a new injury was added, Li Laiheng, who was guarding the door at the door, was in his teens, and he was injured in seven or eight places, and his arms could not be raised, and he also asked to go into battle to kill the enemy.

Look at our Lord Niu, our prime minister, who eats fat and strong, and looks several years younger, why?

Because when the front is tight, he eats tightly in the rear, and in this court, all his protégés are old, and the good houses in the capital and the fertile fields outside the city are all privately divided by him.

I heard that Yang Gezhuang had killed so many old brothers, so many people were injured, and so many people had made meritorious contributions, so I thought that I would allocate some acres of land around the capital to reward the heroes and resettle the widows and orphans.

I also heard that when I came to the military meeting today, some Wenchen stopped my heroes and didn't let them ride horses in the Forbidden City. ”

Li Zicheng said in the end, raised his voice, Niu Jinxing wept bitterly, and his mouth was full of self-proclaimed capital crimes.

Li Zicheng pressed Niu Jinxing back into the chair and said, "Lord Niu said that he was guilty of death, but can I kill him?" I can't kill him, if I kill him, I won't have a prime minister. The military advisor is capable, but can the military advisor send the protégés and Zhu Ming recruited by Lord Niu to demote the officials?

I don't understand the dispatch, the imperial court is a mess, who will collect grain and grass for the army, recruit strong men, without the help of the imperial court, in the face of the Qing army's large-scale attack, can the imperial court win? ”

Everyone nodded, Song Xiance couldn't help but glance at the closed gate of the Qianqing Palace, and then look at the people in front of him, all of them were old people who followed Li Zicheng to fight the world, and those Zhu Ming's demoted generals and generals, regardless of their status and official position, failed to enter.

Obviously, Li Zicheng is ashamed of Niu Jinxing and is not ready to really kill him.

Li Zicheng said: "I will not kill him as prime minister, and let him continue to be prime minister."

I won't even take back the mansions and acres he stole back, because I and Dashun need a team of bureaucrats to do things, and when they are done, they will retreat from the Qing army. The prime minister will atone for his sins, and the rest will be dealt with again. ”

"Thank the emperor for the grace of heaven, thank the emperor for the grace of heaven." Niu Venus wept bitterly and cried constantly.

Li Zicheng patted his neck and said, "Don't thank me, you should thank me for this situation, so nervous that I can't deal with you." You also remember that if this capital is not defended, and my ass leaves the dragon chair, I will be the first to kill you and your henchmen. ”

"Wechen obeys, Wechen ......." Niu Jinxing leaned over again, not daring to say anything more.

Song Xiance walked over and helped Niu Jinxing, but secretly admired Li Zicheng, although Li Zicheng was a little rude just now, but what he said was heartfelt, which moved everyone, and also reassured the generals who were going to fight desperately next, the benefits that belonged to them would be returned to them if they won the battle, and at the same time, they also maintained the unity of the Dashun civil and military classes and the ready-made bureaucratic team, which can be described as a multi-task.

Li Zicheng returned to the dragon chair, knocked on the table, and said, "Now that the door is closed, they are all our own people in Dashun." People say, open the skylight and say bright words, let's go well, close the door and say some confidant words. As for dealing with the Qing army, you can discuss any good strategies. ”

Song Xiance coughed lightly and said: "Then Weichen will say one first, what he said is wrong, the emperor and the generals should not blame." ”

"Wherever the military advisor says, it is all his own family, and he is not to blame." Liu Zongmin said first, now they are more affectionate with Song Xiance, after all, the military division did not take advantage of the front to be tight, but to eat in the rear, and also played a huge role in this withdrawal, this retreat across the Chaobai River was planned by him, but the credit belongs to the generals.

Song Xiance said: "Emperor Fang Cai mentioned Li Zhaoji many times, and during this time, Weichen was also ordered by the emperor to contact him and found that this oriental trading company was available. It's just that our Dashun is just rising, and if we rashly use a trading company, it seems that we have fallen into the prestige of the new dynasty.

Therefore, Wechen proposes to use it, but pay attention to the usage, what do you think? ”

Liu Zongmin nodded, and Liu Fangliang smiled: "As long as you use it, as for how to use it, not only can it be used well, but also protect the reputation of the emperor and the court, let the military advisor think about it." We are all in favor of using, Weichen arrived in Beijing late, and there was little contact with the Oriental Trading Company, I thought it was nothing, but in the battle of Yanggezhuang, the artillery provided by the Oriental Trading Company played a huge role.

Although that Yangyi general is a bit of a stinky fart, he has the ability, like that kind of field artillery, if it is not six, but sixty, where is the Qing army our opponent. ”

Li Guo nodded: "Cihou is right, in fact, the information provided by Li Zhaoji is accurate this time, if he hadn't warned in advance and helped make peace at Shanhaiguan, I'm afraid there would be greater difficulties, just didn't let Wu Sangui vote for the Manchu Qing Dynasty and make my Dashun the enemy, it is a great credit."

And that person is resourceful, Weichen thinks, don't let us think of a way to discuss with him. Our Dashun is newly established, in the end there are not so many rules, he Li Zhaoji can deal with Zhu Ming well, and naturally knows how to deal with our Dashun.

What does the advisor think? ”

"If the marquis doesn't say it, it's not easy for Weichen to say this, if you ask people, it will show that I, the military teacher, is incompetent." Song Xiance said in his heart, it seems that there is a way to cooperate in eating kickbacks, and he laughed and joked.

Li Zicheng waved his hand: "Who dares to say that the military advisor is incompetent, I am the first not to agree." ”

"Shun Jun up and down, no one agreed." Liu Zongmin and others also shouted.
