The oil and water of the Beijing officials were drained, but Liu Zongmin was still not satisfied, and set his sights on the wealthy merchants in the city.Soon, the big families in the whole city of Beijing were unlucky, the shops were closed, the mansions were closed, and everyone was in danger.Liu Zongmin hated all the people in Beijing City, because they ate better, dressed better, and lived a comfortable life than when he was a blacksmith.Later, his pro-army was all over the city, as long as he saw anyone dressed brightly, he would be arrested and asked for money, and if he didn't give it, he would be tortured and waited for King Chuang to occupy Beijing for seven days, and there has always been a prosperous Qianmen Street, Qipan Street, Langfang Hutong, and no one dared to go to the street at noon during the day.The shops around the street were looted, and the ground was in shambles, and there was a depression.Song Xiance, the military advisor of Dashun, looked at this miserable scene, with a sad face but unable to do anything.I went to the gate of the harem several times to ask to see Emperor Dashun, but I was blocked outside the Qianqing gate and returned in vain.He had to go to Prime Minister Niu Jinxing, hoping that he could take care of it.After waiting outside the prime minister's mansion for more than an hour, I saw the prime minister sitting in a sedan chair with eight lifts, and slowly returning to the house under the escort of dozens of pro-soldiers.He stepped forward to talk, but Niu Jinxing just opened the sedan curtain and told him that he couldn't take care of General Quan's affairs, if you want to take care of it, go to His Majesty the Emperor.I didn't even ask him to go to the house to talk.I think that at the beginning, it was Niu Jinxing who introduced him to King Chuang, and praised King Chuang as the world's Yao Shun.Now, Niu Jinxing doesn't want to see him as a roadblock.Watching Prime Minister Dashun's eight-lift sedan chair gradually walk away, Song Xiance stood in the middle of the street, a huge sense of loss pressed against him, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.A voice behind whispered, "Let's go, let's go back." ”He turned his head suddenly, and it turned out to be Li Yan standing behind him.He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I was right by you."
If this continues, the people's hearts will be lost, we will become the target of the public, and destruction is just around the corner" Li Yan said: "This ending is actually doomed before the Beijing Division, but you are in it, and it is not easy to find out."
I have long been distrusted by His Majesty, and I am equivalent to being on the outside, but it is easier to see. ”Song Xiance was silent.The two of them walked slowly down the alley.There are few pedestrians in the alleys, and even if one or two passers-by walk by, they are in a hurry.Seeing that they were wearing the Dashun official mansion, they avoided them from afar, and some even saw them from a distance, turned around and ran.There was a bleak and silent all around, only the bluestone paved on the ground in the alley glowed with a terrible, cold light.In such a troubled world, isn't there really an emergency, I have to go out, who would dare to come out to find death Song Xiance saw that there was no one in the alley, and suddenly asked Li Yandao: "So, you colluded with that Northwest Wang Shuo early, and brought him with you this time, what do you want" Li Yan was taken aback, but he didn't want to hide what he meant, and asked: "How do you know" Song Xiance smiled and said: "The contemptible person is proficient in yin and yang, and he is darker than the five elements, how can you hide it from me" Li Yan really admired this short military master, he even recognized Wang Shuo, I don't know how he found out.At the moment, he whispered: "This is not the place to speak, come to me, let's talk slowly and in detail." ”At this time, Li Zicheng, although he obtained enough money and food to support him through torture and robbery, he still couldn't be relieved.Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, had already promised to surrender, and the letter said that he was ready to return to Beijing from Shanhaiguan to meet the new emperor.The spy sent by Li Zicheng also wrote back that Wu Sangui had left Shanhaiguan with 3,000 pro-troops seven days earlier, and that notices had been distributed along the way, saying that he had been loyal to Dashun and that the residents in the area under his jurisdiction should not be bored.But it's been eight days, and I should have walked to Beijing, but I still haven't seen any trace of Wu Sangui.Although Wu Sangui has 50,000 Guanning iron cavalry in his hands, if he rebels, he will not be able to enter the Beijing Division, and Li Zicheng's Zhongquan pro-military camp is enough to destroy him, and he is afraid that he will collude with the Tartars outside the Guan.Li Zicheng summoned Niu Jinxing and Liu Zongmin into the palace to discuss dealing with Wu Sangui.Liu Zongmin didn't care whether Wu Sangui descended or not.He said that even with the addition of Manchu Tartars, he would not exceed 200,000 horses.The walls of Beijing are strong, and the Zhongquan pro-military camp is fully capable of defending it.Just dragged them all near the Beijing Division, transferred the rest of the battalions of soldiers and horses, surrounded them from the periphery, annihilated them in one fell swoop, and avoided future troubles.Niu Jinxing believes that it is better not to fight the war or not to fight, the initial decision of the society, the people must be settled, the place must be stabilized, and everywhere needs to invest and spend money.Instead of investing money in marching and fighting, it is better to invest in the consolidation of the people.The result of the discussion was to write a letter urging Wu Sangui to come to Beijing, and on the other hand, send a group of men to occupy a stone at the Great Wall pass west of Shanhaiguan and threaten Wu Sangui to see how he reacted.A piece of stone is located behind the North Mountain in the west of Shanhaiguan City, occupying this pass, entering can directly exit the Great Wall, threatening the north gate of Shanhaiguan City, and retreating can closely monitor Wu Sangui's every move.If Wu Sangui has two hearts, the main force of Dashun will go out of Beijing, and it will be possible to reach the south of Shanhaiguan in three days.A piece of stone defenders out of the Great Wall again, from the north of Shanhaiguan Guancheng attack, the west is the mountain, the east is the sea, Wu Sangui will inevitably suffer from the enemy, there is no way out on all sides, it is difficult to escape.At that time, if Wu Sangui hesitates any longer, he will be wiped out by the Shun army at any time.In this way, Wu Sangui can be forced to express his position.The method is a good way, but who to send to guard a piece of stone Li Zicheng means that he intends to let Hao Yongzhong, the mighty general of the left army of the left battalion, go.This man is a fierce general, and there is absolutely no problem in holding a rock.Liu Zongmin went to ask Hao Yongzhong for his intentions, but Hao Yongzhong was unwilling to go.Everyone has been fighting hard for more than a year, and they haven't lived.When I came to Jingshi, the good days didn't pass for three days, and I was asked to go to the ravine to suffer, and if I didn't go to Hao Yongzhong, he would be the Hao Shaoqi in Peking Opera in the future.This guy is brave, he didn't say anything about fighting, he is a stunned character, except for the king, no one buys anyone's account, including Liu Zongmin.Liu Zongmin also liked him a lot, and didn't care about Hao Yongzhong contradicting him.Since he refused to go, he went to someone else.In Liu Zongmin's heart, the successive victories made him feel that the Dashun army was invincible in the world and the world was peaceful.A little Wu Sangui didn't need to spend so much time at all, he directly led the army over and destroyed him.It's all Prime Minister Niu who is worried about the sky, and he does this more.If Liu Zongmin's idea is followed, maybe Wu Sangui is really dangerous.Because at this time, he did not have the ability to deal with Li Zicheng's Dashun army.Liu Zongmin could go to other generals next, but he considered that Hao Yongzhong was unwilling to go, and the other generals would not be far from him, and it was not appropriate to find anyone.At this time, he remembered that Tang Tong, the Ming general who surrendered in Xuanfu, came.This kid surrendered without fighting, but he lived freely, and it was most suitable for him to go to the mountains in the north to sell his strength.He immediately ordered Tang Tong, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, to lead his 8,000 men and horses to occupy a stone pass at the North Great Wall Pass in Funing County.A stone pass is so important, and it is easy to build it without using his own people to defend it and use the general Tang Tong, and Li Zicheng is the first defeat in the battle of Shanhaiguan
