Chapter 64: Betting
Wang Quan smiled slightly, and said: "You also underestimate my royal power, I won't come to you to show off my martial arts in order to come over and let you bow my head, I'm not so bored, what's the benefit to me to come and play with you, it's better to practice martial arts for a while, it's better to gain me a lot from practicing martial arts!
When Chongzhen heard this, a flash of anger immediately flashed in his eyes, and he said angrily: "You are too underestimated by me, do you think you will win?" Let me tell you, no matter when, you people are just rebellious ministers and thieves after all, even if I die, I will not surrender to you rebellious ministers and thieves!"
Wang Quan sneered and said: "What, do you still think you have any hope of winning? Let me guess, who you pinned your hope on, Sun Chuanting has already been defeated, at this time, he is already in the hands of my volunteers, Hong Chengchou was also defeated by the Qing soldiers, at this time he is probably still locked up in the Qing army barracks, Zuo Liangyu? Some time ago, he was just defeated by Li Zicheng, although he was not captured, but his army was also seriously injured, I am afraid that he will not come to save you at this time! Zu Dashou was also cleared after Hong Chengchou's defeat, is it Wu Sangui? I don't think Wu Sangui will necessarily come to save you, I'm afraid he is still in the Qing army, the king army, my volunteer army and your Ming Quartet are swaying, and he hasn't decided who to turn to!"
Speaking of this, Wang Quan suddenly made a look of sudden realization, and said: "Oh, by the way, there is a good general who is loyal to the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, and his ability is quite good, but unfortunately, you destroyed the Great Wall and killed him! By the way, his name is Yuan Chonghuan!"
Hearing Wang Quan's previous analysis, Chongzhen's face was pale, he did issue the edict of King Qin, and at the same time, he also understood that the vast majority of the Ming army's army did not have much combat effectiveness, so the person he had high hopes for was Wu Sangui that Wang Quan had said before, but when Wang Quan said that, even at this critical moment, his old problem - suspicion was still committed!
However, Chongzhen is not too stupid, even if he is already suspicious of Wu Sangui, but at this juncture, the only person he can rely on is Wu Sangui, just when Chongzhen was about to defend Wu Sangui, he suddenly heard Wang Quan talk about Yuan Chonghuan!
As soon as he heard the name Yuan Chonghuan, Chongzhen seemed to have been stepped on by the tail, and immediately shouted: "You don't mention Yuan Chonghuan to me, he Yuan Chonghuan is just a traitor! Don't say that he is dead, even if he is not dead, I will kill him again!"
Wang Quan sneered: "You don't still think that Yuan Chonghuan is really a traitor, eh, I said that you are so stupid, how did you become the emperor in the first place? Who told you that Yuan Chonghuan surrendered to the Qing Dynasty? Is it Wei Zhongxian? Who is Wei Zhongxian? Don't you know? You can also believe what he said, Huang Taiji just played a trick with Wei Zhongxian at the right time, and you really killed Yuan Chonghuan, I said, stupid like you, you can still become the emperor, and you are determined to save the Ming Dynasty? You can't dream of that, can you?"
Chongzhen's face became even more ugly, in fact, after he killed Wei Zhongxian back then, he calmly recalled that he had already noticed that something was wrong, but what could he do if he realized it? Everyone was killed, the key was that he was the emperor, how could he admit that he was wrong? Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan's matter became Chongzhen's rebellion, and while he told himself again and again that he was not wrong, he also forbade anyone in the palace to mention the name Yuan Chonghuan!
Today, he was first mentioned as his own scale, and then he was blatantly sarcastic by the royal power, Chongzhen felt that he had never been so aggrieved in his life! At the same time, he was also hit by the royal power and fell into self-doubt, is he really not suitable to be an emperor?
At the beginning, when he first succeeded to the throne, the entire Ming Dynasty was already in turmoil, even if he sat on the throne, he was trembling, no one dared to believe that at that time, although he wanted to save the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't think he could do it in his heart!
However, when Chongzhen was in the ninth year, Daming's henchman Gao Yingxiang was killed, at that time, Chongzhen finally established self-confidence, he felt that he had solved the biggest problem that plagued Daming, and he was capable of saving Daming!
Now, even the capital of the Ming Dynasty has been surrounded by thieves, and he has to rely on those who he can't trust to come to the rescue! It can be said that now, the entire Ming Dynasty has reached the time of life and death, perhaps, it won't be long before the Ming Dynasty will be completely destroyed!
Wang Quan felt that the heat was almost over, and immediately said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty the Emperor, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
Chongzhen looked at Wang Quan with a complicated face, as if he was more than ten years old for a moment, and immediately said: "Bet, what bet? Do you still want to play tricks?"
Wang Quan smiled and said, "Didn't I say it? Why do I have nothing to do to tease you? So, let me ask you a question, how long do you think you can defend this capital?"
Chongzhen said expressionlessly: "At least three months!" Although there are no generals in the capital today, relying solely on the capital that Daming has operated for more than 200 years, plus the defenders in the city and the grain and grass reserves, as well as the thick city walls, Chongzhen said that three months are modest!
When Wang Quan heard this, he didn't care, he smiled and said: "Then our bet is that I can break through the capital within three days, if I do it, you will surrender, how about it? Don't worry, for Ah Jiu's sake, I won't do anything to the people in your palace, and you can continue to be your emperor, we have no interest in being the emperor!"
When Chongzhen heard this, he didn't believe it at all, and immediately asked: "You have no interest in being the emperor, so why do you want to rebel?"
Wang Quan immediately said: "Naturally, for the sake of the common people in the world, now the Ming Dynasty is no longer able to give the people of the world a life of peace and contentment, we naturally want to overthrow and rebuild one! Don't think that we are always rebelling against you, in fact, my descendants of Yan and Huang have been the most contented people since ancient times, as long as they have a bite of food to eat, they can be their ordinary people in peace and stability, if they are not forced to even have no food to eat, who will be willing to risk killing their heads to rebel? If everyone in the world can have enough to eat, even if my royal power and Li Ziyuan are big, how can they be able to produce hundreds of thousands of righteous troops in just a few years!"
