Chapter 154: Bureaucrats and Parties

Beijing.

In the basement of a large mansion.

More than a dozen people are participating in this gathering.

These more than ten people, each of them, are all super members of the court when they are put into the outside world, shaking the role of one party.

Among them, there is the first assistant of the cabinet, Wei Zaode.

There is Zhang Xin, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Wu Xiang's eldest son Wu Sanlian, who was lucky to survive, He Xuan killed Wu Mansion that day, he happened to be not in the mansion, and he didn't dare to show his face after that, but he has been active in the dark.

There is the eunuch Du Xun.

There are other important figures.

If you have a heart, you will find that among these dozen or so people, there is a considerable degree of overlap with those who wanted to open the city gate when Li Zicheng attacked last time.

"He Xuan is too much, he has already fallen into the devil. In the battle of Yueyuelou, it was not enough for all of us to hand over most of the silver, and we continued to kill people in the future. Wei Zaode said in a deep voice: "Who are we? We are scholars and cultural people. We were lifted, we were promoted to Jinshi, and we were high-ranking people, bullying some illiterate inferior people, so what? ”

"Just because of such a little thing, He Xuan actually planned to kill us, which is too much. He Xuan himself is also an official, and between officials and officials, killing each other like this, he is sick. ”

The more Wei Zaode scolded, the more excessive.

He has been the head of the cabinet for so long, and he has never seen a person as sick as He Xuan.

As an official, instead of safeguarding the interests of officials, he protects the interests of some untouchables.

"This He Xuan is definitely a neurotic. Zhang Xin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also scolded hatefully: "If he continues to kill like this, sooner or later he will kill us." This He Xuan is much more hateful than Li Zicheng and the Manchu Qing Dynasty. ”

"However, He Xuan is a person with peerless force, and we have no way to deal with him at all. His family is also under the heavy protection of Jinyiwei, and Luo Yangxing is Chongzhen's dog, and we can't penetrate it at all. The eunuch Du Xun said hatefully.

"Yes, we people can't help He Xuan. However, He Xuan is not invincible. It is said that the last time Li Zicheng attacked, he was so tired that he almost lost his strength. This man is not without limits. Wei Zaode said: "Therefore, if we want to deal with He Xuan, we can only use external forces. For example......

"He Xuan, he has always been at odds with my younger brother Wu Sangui. This time, he killed my father again. I don't take our Wu family in my eyes anymore. Our Wu family decided to take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and lead the Manchu Qing into the customs. The Manchus had 120,000 soldiers. In the hands of our Wu family, there are also 50,000 of the most elite Guanning iron horses. Attacking Beijing will definitely kill He Xuan. By the way, he also killed Chongzhen, he was also confused, and dared to reuse people like He Xuan. Wu Xiang's eldest son, Wu Sanlian, said murderously.

These words made several other officials gasp.

To do so is tantamount to treason.

But, on second thought.

He Xuan is now going to accept the silver they embezzled, and what happened to a noble official like them bullying some inferior people, He Xuan would shout and kill. It's too much. Since this is the case, then, scatter in one shot and two and kill Chongzhen and He Xuan, these officials, in order to continue to fish and flesh the people.

Wei Zaode saw that most of the officials present were moved, and only a few still couldn't accept treason, so he smiled slightly and said: "I have already contacted the Manchu side, and the Manchu side is very happy to hear our news. And they promised that as long as we take refuge in them, we will be prosperous and rich in the future. ”

"It's not just the army of the Manchus, it's the army of General Wu. Zhang Xin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said: "He Xuan has killed too much, and the younger brother of Zuo Liangyu, the general soldier of Huguang, has also been killed, I have repaired a letter to Zuo Liangyu, and told us about the situation, Zuo Liangyu should also lead the army to come, and Zuo Liangyu also has 50,000 elite soldiers in his hands." ”

"With so many troops, you can't kill He Xuan?"

"The 120,000 troops of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Guanning Iron Cavalry with 50,000 Wu troops, and the 50,000 troops of Zuo, such an army is indeed extremely prosperous. Wei Zaode laughed: "He Xuan, He Xuan, aren't you majestic? Don't you want to kill us officials? Then let's see who is stronger." ”

One by one, the officials were all in high spirits, and it seemed that they could immediately cut He Xuan off the horse.

"When the time comes, I will also cut He Xuan's flesh and let him die a miserable death. ”

"That's ironclad. Since He Xuan dares to scold so many of our officials, we want him to die a miserable death, so that everyone, including this Chongzhen and the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, knows that our civil power is strong. Wei Zaode said confidently.

"Actually, we can not only call these people, but also Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng was defeated by He Xuan a year ago and missed the opportunity to win the world. Come to think of it, if you call him to take revenge, he will also be very happy. Du Xun smiled: "Although Li Zicheng was defeated, he still had 100,000 horses under his hands." ”

"Okay, then call Li Zicheng too. ”

"Manchu Qing, Wu Zongbing, Zuo Zongbing, Li Zicheng, what a spectacular lineup this is, I don't believe that He Xuan can't be killed. Wei Zaode laughed: "It's a pity that Zhang Xianzhong is in Shudi, a little farther away, otherwise you can call over together." ”

"He Xuan, he is known as the number one god general in the world, and he is known as the Great Demon King. ”

"However, no matter what kind of big demon king is, he can stop such a lineup. ”

Several other officials also laughed.

......

Outside the customs.

Manchu.

Prince Yu Duoduo.

Prince Heshuoli Daishan.

Prince Hauge of Su.

Now the real upper echelons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are these three layers.

Although the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang is famous, to put it bluntly, she is only a woman, and it is impossible for a woman to really control the army in this era.

And the Shunzhi Emperor Fulin Xiao'er is a real child, and now he is seven years old, just a puppet.

"Just now, there was news from the cabinet chief assistant of the Ming Kingdom, He Xuan, the big devil, in Beijing, was killed, the embezzlers were fined silver, and those who oppressed the people were killed. This made the officials of the Ming Kingdom quite dissatisfied. Prince Yu Duoduo smiled: "The officials of the Great Ming Kingdom have been rotten to the extreme, how can it be possible to punish them with silver, so that they do not oppress the people." ”

"They have already contacted us and said that when the time comes, Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, will let us go through Shanhaiguan. Attack the city of Beijing together. At the same time, Wu Sangui will take his 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city of Beijing together. Not only that, but it is said that they also contacted Huguang's Zuo Liangyu Zuo General Army, Li Zicheng, to attack the city of Beijing together. ”

"This, will there be any deception, deceive us to go and calculate us again. Prince Li said in a deep voice.

"It's not very likely. According to the news from the spies, He Xuan, the big demon king, was killed in Beijing, and even Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang and Zuo Liangyu's younger brother Zuo Liangyun were killed. Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu couldn't stand it, and it was normal. ”

"In Beijing, a large number of officials have also been beheaded. ”

"He Da Demon King, he is really crazy, he has killed so many officials by himself, he is really not afraid of officials turning against him. Hey, but it also gives us a chance. Let's gather everyone's strength first and kill the Great Demon King. And the only one who can make us scruples is He Da Demon King. ”

"As soon as He Xuan died, how could the others stop our Manchu army. We can dominate the world and set the Central Plains. Prince Yu Duoduo said proudly. He Xuan, he has never had a chance to settle in the Central Plains.

And now, He Xuan himself has killed himself and made a flaw.

And his opportunity has also come.

Hahahaha!

"Gather all your troops and horses and attack the city of Beijing!"

......

Shanhaiguan.

Wu Sangui stood on the city wall with his hands in his hands.

"He Xuan, He Xuan, you actually dare to kill my father, you forced me. Wu Sangui said hatefully, if it was simply that his father was killed, in fact, Wu Sangui would not be so angry.

However, Wu Sangui remembered the first meeting between himself and He Xuan, and He Xuan opened his mouth to ridicule him, and the two seemed to be born incompatible. If He Xuan is allowed to sit on it again, he is afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat.

Therefore, Wu Sangui wanted to seize this opportunity and kill He Xuan.

If you lead the Qing soldiers into the customs, you will lead the Qing soldiers into the customs.

......

Huguang.

Zuo Liangyu, this man is in his fifties, his hair and beard have gradually turned white, and his face has wrinkles. However, his energy is still very good, and he is the second daughter every night, and he is not happy without a woman.

Zuo Liangyu has never been a loyal minister.

He was ordered by the emperor to encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong, and when he was about to beat Zhang Xianzhong into the street, Zhang Xianzhong sent a sentence: "If I Zhang Xianzhong is still here, the general will naturally be useful, if I am not there, will the general still be useful?"

Zuo Liangyu immediately let Zhang Xianzhong go.

He only knows that in this world, if there are soldiers and food, he is the king of grass.

And recently, his brother died, which made him angry.

Chongzhen Xiao'er, He Xuan Xiao'er, didn't give him the face of the Huguang General Army, and dared to kill his younger brother.

Moreover, according to the scope of He Xuan's beheading, he Zuo Liangyu is also a person who does a lot of evil, wouldn't he even kill him Zuo Liangyu.

Therefore, when many ministers of the Ming Dynasty court brought the news, Zuo Liangyu agreed almost without hesitation.

Since He Xuan dares to do this, then he is against his mother.

I, Zuo Liangyu, want to see if you, who are known as the number one in the world, can withstand the onslaught of so many thrown troops.

......

Northwest.

Yongcheng.

Originally, the capital of the Shun army was Chang'an City.

However, in the battle of attacking Beijing, the 600,000 army was defeated, so that Li Zicheng and the high-level leaders of the army were frightened by He Xuan. Even Chang'an City didn't dare to stay, so he found a remote place to stay in Yongcheng and continue to accumulate strength here.

Li Zicheng brought his generals Li Yan, Li Guo, Liu Zongmin, and Song Xiance to him.

"Just now, I received a letter from those ministers of the Ming Kingdom in the imperial court. Guess what?" Li Zicheng smiled: "It is said that He Xuan, the great demon king, killed in the capital. ”

"Corrupt officials, hand over fines. ”

"Fish and meat people, bullying men and women, killing. ”

"Those officials, everyone knows their virtues. Most of them have bad deeds. This time it fell into the hands of He Da Demon King, and he was killed by an unknown number of people. ”

"These officials have always been high, where will they be convinced. But they tried their usual means to fight, but they couldn't fight He Xuan. So wrote a letter to me. They want to contact us, the Manchu Qing, Wu Sangui, Zuo Liangyu, these people, to attack the capital together, and they want to use soldiers and mountains and seas to consume He Xuan alive. Li Zicheng said in a loud voice.

Li Yan, Li Guo, Liu Zongmin, and Song Xiance couldn't help but change color together: "Whether it is us or the Manchu Qing, they are all enemies of the Ming Kingdom, are they tantamount to treason?"

"Yes, they must be treasonous, but they don't care if they are treason or not. Li Zicheng sneered: "How do you feel? Do you take this opportunity to kill Beijing City, the other armies of the Ming Dynasty are rotten, and only He Xuan has combat effectiveness." If we can defeat He Xuan, then we can pick up the momentum again and make a comeback. Dingding Central Plains. ”

When Li Guo heard this, he applauded loudly: "No matter how strong He Xuan is, there is a limit." If we can gather the forces of Wu Sangui, Zuo Liangyu, and the Manchu Quartet, we will definitely be able to deal with He Xuan alone. As soon as He Xuan is removed, there is no one in the world who is our opponent. ”

Li Yan shook his head: "King Chuang, I feel that this time, we had better stay put." ”

"Oh, tell me. Li Zicheng is now willing to listen to the words of the people below.

"The Manchus are alien. If we join forces with other races and attack Beijing City, even if we capture Beijing City and force He Xuan to death, it will have a bad reputation. Don't be how to Xuan and Manchu, fight to the death first. If we do it again, it won't be a team-up with an alien race. This is one of them. ”

"Second, we can't see how deep He Xuan is. The Manchu Qing had an army of 120,000, Wu Sangui had an army of 50,000, and Zuo Liangyu had an army of 50,000, and it is said that these were all elite soldiers. The number of elite soldiers attacking Beijing is much larger than the scale of our claim to be 600,000 but only 30,000 elite soldiers. ”

"Even if it is He Xuan's ability, it is also ironclad against the enemy. And how powerful He Xuan will burst out before he dies, we don't know. Everyone knows that wolves can burst out with great power before they die, and anyone who feels close to them is in danger. ”

"So, why don't we just watch from the sidelines and wait for them to spell it out, and then it's our turn. ”

After Li Zicheng heard this, he made a little calculation in his heart: "Li Yan's words are reasonable, if you don't have other opinions, this matter will be decided." ”

Thinking about it, what Li Yan said is indeed reasonable, so naturally there is no objection.
