Whether Wu Sangui colluded with Dolgon, Luo Yang's spy didn't mention it at all, either he couldn't inquire about it, or there was no such thing at all.According to the history books, Li Zicheng knew nothing about the Manchu invasion of Beijing at that time.If he had known in advance that the Manchus would attack him with all their might, perhaps the Manchus would not have been so easy to succeed.Wang Shuo felt that Luo Yangxing should still tell Li Zicheng the news that the Manchu Qing was about to enter the customs, and let Li Zicheng take precautions first.It is best if Li Zicheng knew that after the Manchus marched on Beijing, he would be able to send troops to block the Manchus north of the Great Wall and avoid the massacre of the Manchus after entering the pass.As for how history will develop in the future, let's talk about it, no matter what, it is better than putting the Manchus in.Wang Shuo told Luo Yangxing his thoughts, and Luo Yangxing agreed, but he no longer had an official title, and it was probably very difficult to see Li Zicheng.This is not afraid, he can find Li Yan and let Li Yan take Luo Yangxing to see Li Zicheng.This matter was settled, and Luo Yangxing followed Wang Shuo back to Li Yan's mansion.Before leaving, Luo Yangxing told Wang Shuo one more thing, the crown prince Zhu Cihong was not locked up in the prison of Chengtian Mansion, but in Liu Zongmin's general's mansion.This general's mansion belonged to a prince of the previous dynasty, and Liu Zongmin forcibly occupied it.There is a dungeon in the back garden, which was used by the prince to imprison disobedient subordinates in the past, and the prince was locked up in that dungeon.Wang Shuo wondered, how did Luo Yangxing know so clearly, he must also have spies in Jingshi, otherwise how would he know that he lived in Li Yan's place, this Luo Yangxing is really a material for being a spy, and there is nothing in Jingshi that he doesn't know.As soon as Wang Shuo hesitated, Luo Yangxing saw what Wang Shuo had in mind, and said with a smile: "I know that the general is loyal to the country, and I know some about the general's affairs, but I will never reveal half a word."
Besides, he is already a general now, how can he be willing to sell his lord to seek glory" The drum does not need to be beaten with a hammer, of course Wang Shuo understands why Luo Yangxing is in a hurry to defend himself.Knowing that he is there with Li Yan, of course he will know what Li Yan and Song Xiance are doing, this is a shocking secret, it is worth Wang Shuo's murder, but Luo Yangxing is also disappointed in Li Zicheng, so naturally he will not betray him, and now that he has promised to do things for himself, he will not betray himself.smiled at the moment, but asked Luo Yangxing: "Is there a way to rescue the prince" Luo Yangxing thought about it and shook his head: "Liu Zongmin lives in the mansion now, he is not like the general of the Ming Dynasty, he is not particular."
There were more than 3,000 of his own soldiers, and they also lived in his house, which was in a mess, full of soldiers, and there was no chance to attack at all. ”It seems that Luo Yangxing also had plans to save the prince, otherwise he would not have known so much detail.Since there is no chance to do it now, we can only wait until after Liu Zongmin goes on the expedition.Li Yan was surprised to learn that Dorgon's entire army was coming.He roughly estimated the time it took to transmit the information, and if the Manchu army began to dispatch at the same time as the information was sent, according to the normal marching speed, the Manchu army should have passed Guangningwei and reached the vicinity of Liancheng.That is, in five more days' journey, the Manchu army will appear at the foot of the Great Wall.He didn't dare to slack off, and immediately took Luo Yangxing to the Forbidden City to see Li Zicheng.Li Zicheng inquired in detail about the source of Luo Yangxing's information, and had to believe that this information was true.It was only then that he really treated the Manchus as a thing.He immediately summoned all the high-ranking generals in Beijing into the palace, told them the details of the information, and discussed countermeasures.At present, there are only 100,000 Zhongquan pro-troops in Beijing, plus the surrendered Ming army, no more than 150,000, while the Manchu Eight Banners dispatched 200,000, this situation is somewhat serious.Everyone, you and I have a lot to say, but in the end, we still have to listen to the opinions of General Liu Zongmin, Prime Minister Niu Jinxing, and military advisor Song Xiance.Liu Zongmin really didn't take the 200,000 Manchu Eight Banners in his eyes.His opinion is that the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and at the same time recruit soldiers and horses from all walks of life to come to Beijing to support.As long as he can hold on until the five battalions of soldiers and horses arrive, he will have an army of 500,000 to say the least, and he will fight 200,000 Tartars, and he will win without defeat.There is nothing wrong with this opinion.In terms of the number of soldiers and horses, Dashun does have a great advantage.But in the Zhongquan pro-army of the Beijing Division, can you hold out until the soldiers and horses of the battalions will Qi Liu Zongmin smiled and said: "This is my elite division of Dashun, I can't stop the enemy 200,000, what are you kidding" The generals also said that they could take their lives as a guarantee, that is, to fight to the last person, and they would not let a Tartar enter the Beijing Division Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance also felt that there was no problem, the only thing that was worrying was Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan, whether he surrendered to the Manchus or sincerely surrendered to Dashun In case he and the Manchus were together, Putting the Qing army in from Shanhaiguan, coupled with his 50,000 Guanning iron cavalry, would pose a huge threat to the rear of the Dashun army, but Wu Sangui has now stated that he wants to surrender, and it is not good to go over and fight him directly and destroy him before the Qing army arrives.The final result of the discussion was that Sanhe agreed to all the conditions proposed by Wu Sangui, and asked Wu Sangui to bring Guanning Tieqi to Beijing as soon as possible.At the same time, Tang Tong, who ordered the defense at a stone, immediately rushed to Shanhaiguan to take over Wu Sangui's defense, completely cut Wu Sangui and the Manchu Qing inside and outside the Great Wall, and cut off their communication in order to make sure that everything was perfect.Speaking of Tang Tong, Song Xiance seemed to suddenly think about something, and his face showed a trace of uneasiness.But he didn't figure out what it was, so it was hard to say anything.Li Zicheng immediately issued an order to immediately assemble the Zhongquan pro-army and garrison Miyun.This place of Miyun can not only meet the middle wedge, but also the west wedge, and at the same time can march along the Shanhaiguan Pass at any time to threaten Wu Sangui.Send all the Ming troops to the Great Wall to defend, and where the Qing army appears, they will increase their troops.Detectives were sent to reconnoiter within 50 miles north of the Great Wall and pay close attention to the movements of the Qing army.At the same time, the cavalry was sent to ride fast horses to the battalions of the Shun army stationed in various places, and issued an urgent military order to assemble in Beijing, ordering them to set off immediately after receiving the order and advance to Beijing.Perhaps, his appearance can make Li Zicheng a prophet and avoid the Qing army from entering the customs.He didn't know that even if there was no Luo Yangxing's report, Li Zicheng in history had arranged and transferred troops in this way for the defense of the Qing army.This fully shows that without Wang Shuo's participation, Li Zicheng also knew the movements of the Qing army, and made relatively rigorous arrangements.However, Li Zicheng and his Dashun regime did not escape the fate of defeat because of this
