If he had a choice, Chongzhen still hoped that Zhu Changwu would be the kind of capable minister, or even a famous monarch. The question is, can he do it in the face of millions of thieves?

Even if Li Zicheng is defeated once now, but the general trend has been achieved, what should I do next? There is also a Jiannu outside the gate who is eyeing him, which is also a very difficult existence to deal with, when he thinks of this, Chongzhen is not so angry with Zhu Changwu.

Chongzhen's mind now is that he is finished, so he should return to the harem and then force the queen to death and kill his daughter. You must not let your family fall into the hands of the enemy and be humiliated again.

Just before Chongzhen sat up from the dragon chair, a rumbling sound suddenly came. Although it could be felt that the distance was still a little far, the sound was clear, at least others could hear it in the palace.

"What's going on out there? But thunder? Instinctively, Chongzhen asked, and then he thought that it was a clear sky outside, and thunder would not happen. Could it be the sound of a cannon in red? But it doesn't seem to be that big, right? ”

Seeing that his master had questions, the loyal Wang Chengsi immediately said loudly: "Long live the lord later, the minister will arrange someone to inquire, and the results will come soon." ”

"Yes, let's go." Chongzhen nodded, and without confirming what was going on outside, he decided to wait and go to the harem.

Chongzhen gave up the idea of going to the harem now, and in the harem, people were also panicking at this time.

The thieves came, and the soldiers came to the city, and after hearing that even Guang'anmen had been breached, the entire harem was in danger.

Just after Chongzhen left Empress Zhou's bedroom, the crown prince Zhu Cihong, Dingwang Zhu Cijiong, Princess Kunxing, and Princess Changping Zhu Huijiao rushed over and gathered here.

Among these people, the crown prince Zhu Cihong is undoubtedly the oldest, but he is only fifteen years old, only a few months older than Princess Changping.

The fifteen-year-old boy, although he has already known a lot of things because of the royal education, is inevitably not mature enough, and after knowing what is happening outside from the eunuchs around him, he is inevitably afraid.

"Mother, can my father stop the thief?" Worried, Zhu Cihong asked what he thought in his heart.

"Of course you can, you and you all have to believe in your father, he is the lord of the world and the lord of the ninety-five, there is nothing that your father can't solve." Although Queen Zhou was also worried, she still said in a firm tone in front of the children.

It's just that the sorrow in her eyes shows that her heart is far less confident than she says.

Princess Zhu Huijiao of Changping seemed to see the worry of the queen mother, and she couldn't help but clench her pink fist, she only hated herself now that she was still too young, if she could grow up, she would definitely find a martial arts master and learn kung fu well, so that when someone threatened Daming, she could do her part.

In history, there is such a record, saying that after the lord of Changping was cut off by Chongzhen, he was rescued by others, and finally became a one-armed master with strong martial arts. Whether it's true or not, in this life, Zhu Changwu is here, so naturally he won't let such a thing happen again.

Whether it is the former dynasty or the harem, when the people are uneasy and everyone is in danger, in front of the Guangning Gate, a large number of thieves are flying back from here.

When I went, there were more than 10,000 people, but when I came back, it was only a few thousand, and even this number of people was still decreasing.

I don't know what's wrong, the Ming army chasing them is like taking medicine one by one, changing the situation of collapsing with them in the past, this time chasing them.

Although many of the thieves had thrown away their weapons and tried their best to retreat, many of them were caught up by the Ming army and cut down to the ground.

The bravery of the Ming army, coupled with the sudden attack, and more importantly, Li Mu and other generals have died, which makes the thieves become headless flies, and without anyone under their command, they have no ability to fight with the Ming army.

Finally, after running all the way, they finally withdrew to the city of Guangning Gate, and many of the thieves were relieved, thinking that this time they finally didn't have to run, after all, they had seen their companions coming, and above the city tower, there were already archers ready with arrows, and at this time they should be replaced to teach the Ming army a lesson.

The Ming army chasing behind him also saw this scene.

Seeing the thief general who rushed out of the Guang'an Gate on horseback, and saw that there were already archers on the city tower holding bows and arrows to prepare, many Ming troops involuntarily slowed down.

Just now, many of them have already stabbed the thieves, and they have made some military exploits, if they die now, then they don't even have the opportunity to redeem rewards, isn't it wronged?

But when the Ming soldiers made a decision on whether to continue the pursuit or retreat, the scene in front of them changed. I saw the thieves and generals who rushed out of the city on their horses, one after the other, and fell off their horses, like dumplings, so happy and neat.

At the same time, the deafening sound of cannons sounded in my ears very suddenly, and then the scene in front of me did not know how many people's jaws were shocked.

After the sound of cannons, a large cloud of dust rose on the tower of Quang Ninh Gate directly opposite, and then countless thieves and archers were killed and wounded.

As a cannon rang out one after another, a corner of the city tower was blown up and collapsed, and the thieves on the city tower rushed around in the wailing.

The enemy's generals were killed, the archers were bombed, and the so-called sniper became a joke at this moment, which also made all the Ming soldiers who saw this scene excited.

They don't know why this happened, but they know the simple reason why someone is sick and wants your life.

Since even the thieves of Guangning Gate are in a mess and have no ability to stop them, what else is there to say, of course, to continue to rush and continue to snatch the merits of the war.

In this way, more than 10,000 Ming troops continued to rush forward after only a slight hesitation, and in the earth-shattering shouts of killing, Guangning Gate was easily recaptured.

And this is not the end, after capturing the Guangning Gate, the Ming army continued to rush out in the direction of the Zhanghua Gate.

"Yes, the military heart is available." In an uninhabited corner, Zhu Changwu put away the W86 mortar, smiled, and rushed forward.

Needless to say, the shells just now were fired by him, but fortunately, he is really proficient in these artillery, plus the strength and speed are very fast, otherwise, it is really not easy to shoot so many cannons in a short period of time by one person.

The Ming army was like a bamboo, rushing out all the way, as if entering a no-man's land, outside the city, Li Zicheng, the emperor of Dashun who had rushed here, also got an urgent report.

Li Zicheng, formerly known as Hongji, the small character Huang Laier, also known as Zaoer, the leader of the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty, lived in Shaanxi Mizhi Li Jiqian Village.

When he was a child, he shepherded sheep for the landlord and was a pawn in Yinchuan. In the uprising in 1629, he was a general under Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, who was brave and insightful.

At the Xingyang Conference, he put forward a plan for dividing troops and orienting troops and attacking on four fronts, which was approved by the leaders of various departments. After Gao Yingxiang died, he inherited the name of King Chuang.

At that time, the Central Plains was suffering from a severe famine and the social class contradictions were extremely acute, and the chief strategist Li Yan put forward slogans such as "Juntian is exempt from taxation", which was welcomed by the general public, and the army grew to millions of people, becoming the main force in the rebel army.

In 1643, he was proclaimed King Xinshun in Xiangyang, and annihilated the main force of Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty, in Ruzhou, Henan, and then took advantage of the victory to occupy Xi'an. In the first month of the following year, the Dashun regime was established, and the era name was Yongchang.

From a sheep herding baby to a post man who lost his job, the first half of Li Zicheng's life was still wonderful, and there were some stories.

As far as he knows, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty was also a cattle herder, a monk and a beggar, so he could establish the Ming Dynasty, why couldn't he establish the Dashun Dynasty?

With ambition, through hard work, his strength became stronger and stronger, and when he became the emperor of Dashun, his ambition became more and more inflated. Especially this time, after learning that the strength of the Ming Jingshi was empty, he even came to attack Huanglong and wanted to replace it.

Early this morning, he got the happy news, the Dashun army made rapid progress, soon entered the outer city, passed the Guangning Gate, as long as he entered the Xuanwu Gate, it was equivalent to entering the inner city, at that time, the Ming Emperor will be in the middle of the Ming, then he can force Chongzhen Zen to himself, then he will be the rightful lord of the world.

With this idea, Li Zicheng has a good complexion and a good mood, and from time to time he will make some harmless jokes with the generals around him.

The generals below saw that Li Zicheng was in a good mood, and one by one they slapped their ass, like what can enter the palace today, Chongzhen will perform Zen early tomorrow morning at the latest, and even sleep with Chongzhen's queen tonight, taste what it is like, and so on.

Li Zicheng was also coaxed very happy, among these voices, he seemed to have entered the Daming Palace now, and became the person on the dragon chair seat, and set the world.

When he was in the right mood, he broke his illusion because of an urgent report from the front.

The Ming army in Beijing actually counterattacked, not only that, but even the vanguard general Li Mu was killed, and the Guangning Gate was also recaptured by the Ming army.

"How can this be?" Chief strategist Li Yan spoke. Li Mu is his brother, and he can't accept that he died like this.

This is also a scholar-like Luodi Xiucai, the difference is that he climbed Li Zicheng and helped him achieve something.
