At dawn, the flames of war gradually died out.

The city of Beijing has basically been occupied by the Shun army.

There are still many loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, Lan An, the Duke of Liang Guo, and Zhang Shize, the Duke of the British, both led their own families to resist the Shun army to the end, and finally both died in battle.

There are hundreds of Jinyi guards, and they are also fighting to the death.

Although Wang Tiqian and others surrendered, before the palace, the pure army composed of eunuchs still made the last resistance.

However, this could not change the outcome after all, after a night of fierce fighting, by the time dawn, the Jingshi had been pacified, and the blood on the steps of the palace had been wiped dry and a gorgeous carpet was spread.

Wang Chongzu stood in front of the palace of the Ming Dynasty, looked at the splendid palace, and let out a burst of laughter. He had never smiled so happily or so proudly.

Who would have thought that an ordinary peasant in Shaanxi in the past could step into this position today? Now this Jinluan Hall is close at hand.

If the previous Dashun is still somewhat unjustifiable, and the people of the world generally still regard the Ming Dynasty as orthodox, then from this moment on, the people of the world will take his Dashun as the orthodox, how can he not be happy?

He is indeed the child of destiny.

Behind him, his soldiers were cheering. From the dragon's skill, what they did in battle was nothing more than this moment.

A courtier from the previous dynasty came and said in a sincere and fearful voice: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

Wang Chongzu was in a good mood, and said with a wave of his hand:

"This time to conquer Beijing, you have made great achievements, and you should be rewarded."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." They were ecstatic.

……

The news of the fall of Beijing spread like a gust of wind throughout the country, causing shock among people all over the world.

And now that Beijing has been captured and the emperor has died, the remaining Ming troops in the rest of the country have no point of resistance. After the Shun army took over Shanhaiguan, they contacted Li Zunzu, and the Liaodong general immediately expressed his willingness to return to Shun Dashun.

Hong Chengchou was still leading the army to be stopped outside Juyong Pass at this time, and after getting the news, he also sighed, and then put down his weapon.

Like a whirlwind of clouds, the entire northern land bowed to Dashun, and only a few cities were unwilling to surrender, but they were quickly conquered.

And the few remaining provinces in the south that were loyal to the Ming court were at a loss for a while.

At this time, Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, stood up.

"The Ming Dynasty cannot be left without an owner for a day. Who can be the emperor except me? ”

He said to his royal courtiers, and the ministers unanimously agreed, so they all fell to their knees and said loudly, "Meet Your Majesty." ”

The king of Shu was very proud and contacted the governor of Sichuan, the general soldier and others.

At this time, it is also the time for everyone to imitate, since there are people who are willing to take on the heavy responsibility, it is also great. After some contact, he got the support of most officials, and officially proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, with the year name Longwu.

But it's clear that not many people are buying his account anymore. After all, at this time, there were only two and a half provinces left holding the banner of the Ming Court, and the rest of the places had already changed flags one after another. On his side, Zhang Xianzhong is eyeing the entire southwest.

Fortunately, recently, Zhang Xianzhong's army has also stopped attacking.

The Emperor of Onishi had no time to take care of the war in the south.

Dashun seized the entire northern part of the Ming Dynasty, which gave him a strong sense of crisis.

At least on the surface, Dashun at this time was really strong to the extreme, and he even felt that Dahua might not be as powerful. After conquering the entire north, Wang Chongzu quickly began to organize the resumption of production, began the imperial examination, and reorganized the army, and that ambitious appearance made Zhang Xianzhong even more vigilant.

The Ming court was destroyed, and by this time they had changed from tacit allies to enemies who were chasing the deer.

I'm afraid that soon, the battle is coming.

Looking at Dashun, who is dominating the northern frontier, he feels a trace of fear.

"So you're here to make an alliance with me?"

Yan Quan stared at Zhang Xianzhong's envoy below. A few days earlier, he had entered Dahua's territory and was immediately arrested. However, he claimed to be an envoy of the Daxi Emperor to meet the Dahua Emperor, so he was sent to Nanjing, where he was received at the court meeting.

"Exactly." The psychological quality of this messenger was also passed, and at this time he was not in a hurry, cleared his throat and said loudly:

"In the name of my lord, I seek an alliance with your majesty."

"For example, today's situation, just like the original Three Kingdoms, the world is divided into three, the monarch lives in the southeast, my lord lives in the southwest, each according to one side, Wang Er occupies the north, just like Cao Wei back then, it is very threatening, if my two families do not join forces to resist the enemy, once the Shun army goes south, there is a danger of being broken one by one."

"If it is for peace, it will benefit both, and if it is divided, it will hurt both. Therefore, my lord is willing to form an alliance with Your Majesty and advance and retreat together. ”

The court was quiet for a moment, and then the ministers couldn't help but show smiling faces.

There are three points in the world, Dashun is the most prosperous, it seems that Zhang Xianzhong has not seen the situation clearly at all.

Today's Dashun, whether it is economic, military or the stability of the rule, is not as good as the steady and rapid development of Dahua in the south, how can we go to "join Liu to resist Cao"?

And Zhang Xianzhong is not as good as Ji Han in the past. Ji Han has the southwest and the geographical advantage, but Zhang Xianzhong's Huguang is unsafe to defend, facing Wang Chongzu's troops.

Zhang Xianzhong was afraid that he had been frightened by Wang Chongzu's terrible attack on Beijing, and had forgotten the fear of being dominated by the clan soldiers when he tried to enter Zhejiang.

The messenger saw the contempt of the people, and his face was slightly gloomy, and he said:

"Your country despises Dashun so much, but I'm afraid it may not be a good thing. This is a fierce enemy, be careful of this painstaking management of the six provinces, sixty-seven prefectures and six states in the south of the Yangtze River, all of them have made wedding dresses for others, and they will regret it when the time comes. ”

Yan Quan laughed and said:

"This doesn't have to worry about the eight kings, we have our own way to deal with it."

Calling Zhang Xianzhong the Eight Kings, obviously did not recognize his emperor title, which made the envoy's face even more ugly, but at this time it was on the other party's territory, and it was not easy to attack, so he had to retreat, Yan Quan did not embarrass him, and let him go.

Zhang Xianzhong quickly got the messenger's reply, and he was also annoyed.

In his opinion, although Dahua's firearms are indeed sharp, as far as he knows, Wang Chongzu has vigorously developed ordnance over the years, and its strength is not bad at all, and at this time, he has already unified the north and won the name of orthodoxy, the people of the world are wanted, and the morale is strong, even if it is Dahua, it may not be their opponent.

"Well, well, then, let's fight each other! I'd like to see who can have the last laugh. ”

After speaking, Zhang Xianzhong sent his two righteous sons to the front line to consolidate the border defense.

He was worried that Wang Chongzu would choose him as the first target to attack.
