It’s a new week, please support me with recommendation votes.
Lao Kun urgently needs recommendation votes.
In Xi'an, in the Chengyun Hall of the former Qin Prince's Mansion, a middle-aged man with a dark complexion and wearing a dragon robe cursed.
"Your mother, these Tatars are so evil-minded that they dare to take advantage of Shanxi."
"Your Majesty, the only plan for now is to defend Shanxi at all costs.
As long as the Tatars do not cross the Yellow River, it is impossible to threaten Guanzhong."
A slightly fat man with a scholarly face offered advice respectfully.
The two people answering this question are the Emperor Li Zicheng of the Dashun Dynasty and the Prime Minister Niu Jinxing.
Although the situation is grim now, the Dashun regime still owns land in Guanzhong, Shanxi and Huguang, so there may not be no chance of a comeback.
If you want to survive in death, the most important thing is to protect Guanzhong.
Since ancient times, Wang Tu's hegemony has flourished here.
Niu Jinxing firmly believes that Li Zicheng can return to Beijing sooner or later as long as he takes Guanzhong as his foundation.
"Well, of course I know this.
I have left most of my troops in Shanxi.
If the Tatars want to steal chickens and dogs, I will tell them to never come back."
Another younger counselor, Song Xiance, remained silent.
Since the consecutive defeats in Shanhaiguan, Dingzhou, and Zhending, the morale of the Dashun Army has reached rock bottom.
At this time, instead of appeasing people, Li Zicheng believed Niu Jinxing's slander and unjustly killed the general Li Yan.
Song Xiance was very disappointed with this and no longer spoke much on political affairs, leaving Niu Jinxing and another popular counselor Gu Junen to offer advice.
Of course, Li Zicheng also noticed the changes in Song Xiance, but he did not intend to say some heartfelt words like before and let Song Xiance work hard for him again.
Because Song Xiance made a mistake that he could not tolerate, he publicly supported Li Yan and interceded on his behalf.
"What do you think of Qi Hou?"
Li Zicheng skipped Song Xiance and turned to Gu Junen.
After the capture of Beijing, Gu Junen was granted the title of Marquis of Qi, but Li Zicheng usually addressed him as Mr.
Gu.
So he suddenly called Gu Junen "Qi Hou", which made Gu Junen a little uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, I also believe that Guanzhong is the foundation of the emperor's empire.
To defend Guanzhong, we must defend Shanxi.
But in addition, we should also capture Wuchang as much as possible.
In this way, we don't have to worry about food."
Li Zicheng nodded frequently when he heard this, and waved his hand and said: "I have said long ago that Huguang must be managed carefully.
I will immediately issue a decree to Bai Wang and tell him to make progress."
Gu Junen saw that Li Zicheng accepted the advice humbly, so he continued: "Your Majesty, General Bai's troops only have 70,000 to 80,000 men.
It is easy to defend the four prefectures, but if we want to attack Wuchang, we may not have enough troops.
Why not send Marquis Ru to lead 50,000 troops as reinforcements?"
Take Wuchang in one fell swoop" Gu Junen spoke with enthusiasm.
He thought Li Zicheng would immediately adopt his suggestion.
Who would have thought that the Dashun Emperor shook his head and said: "Jixuan Liu Zongmin's words cannot be removed.
He is my right-hand man.
If he leads the army, Huguang, if the Qing soldiers really cross the Yellow River and approach Tongguan, who can I use?"
Gu Junen was disappointed.
Wealth can be found in danger.
Why didn’t Li Zicheng understand such a simple truth?
When I was a bandit, I always put my head in my belt and fought with the soldiers, but I didn't see anything to be afraid of.
Why does one become so courageous once he becomes an emperor?

"With His Majesty in charge in Guanzhong, it is as stable as Mount Tai.
If you lead troops to reinforce General Bai, you will catch Zuo Liangyu by surprise."
Gu Junen still refused to give up and argued hard.
"No need to say any more, I have made up my mind."
Li Zicheng waved his hand impatiently: "Jixuan must stay."
Gu Junen gritted his teeth and said: "Even if Ruhou cannot lead troops to reinforce General Bai, he should send generals to reinforce him.
Otherwise, it may not be easy for General Bai to take Wuchang."
Seeing Gu Junen take a step back, Li Zicheng didn't want to make things too rigid, so he also gave way: "Then let's ask Zongdi to lead the soldiers and horses from the right battalion to reinforce Xiangjing."
Mianhou Gu Junen felt a little unsure when he saw that Li Zicheng finally chose Yuan Zongdi.
Compared with Li Guo's rear camp and Liu Fangliang's left camp, Yuan Zongdi's right camp had poorer combat effectiveness.
Moreover, Yuan Zongdi himself has a soft character and is a good old man in the military.
How much support can be provided to the Baiwang tribe by sending such a person to lead the troops and reinforce them?
But Li Zicheng had already said it for this reason, and Gu Junen could not refute it anymore.
After all, it’s no longer the days when we used a pot and a spoon.
Once the political power is established, the king is the king and the ministers are ministers, and the distinction is clear.
From the moment Li Zicheng changed the Qin Palace to the Dashun Palace, he had already distanced himself from his brothers who conquered the world in the past.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Gu Junen weakly raised his hand to Li Zicheng.
In any case, it was impossible for him to look back now.
He could only hope that Yuan Zongdi would be brave and take Wuchang together with Bai Wang's army.
As long as Wuchang is captured, the situation will immediately improve.
Whether it is negotiating with the Nanming court to jointly resist the Qing Dynasty, or forming a tacit understanding of the three pillars, Dashun will have enough capital.
After leaving Chengyun Hall, Li Zicheng immediately returned to the harem.
As soon as he saw Queen Gao Guiying, he waved his hands eagerly and said: "Hurry up and bring Xiao Naozi into the palace.
I have important matters to give him."
Seeing Li Zicheng's eagerness, Gao Guiying quickly asked: "Why is your majesty so anxious to see Xiao Naozi?"
"Hey, Guiying, to tell you the truth, I haven't been able to sleep well these nights.
I often have nightmares about Jiexuan holding a knife and cutting off his head.
I want Xiao Naizi to help him keep an eye on him. " The little Naizi mentioned by Li Zicheng was his adopted son Zhang Nai.
Because he had no heirs, Li Zicheng always treated his adopted son as his own son.
Another of his aliases, Li Shuangxi, was killed after the defeat of Shanhaiguan because he stood behind the army.
Therefore, Li Zicheng valued Zhang Nai even more.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you are overly concerned.
Jiexuan just said a few jokes.
Your Majesty, don't take it to heart."
Seeing that Li Zicheng was suspicious of Liu Zongmin, Gao Guiying comforted him with words.
Li Zicheng shook his head and said, "That's not a joke.
Jiexuan doesn't accept it."
It turned out that Li Zicheng wanted to ascend the throne immediately after entering Beijing, but Liu Zongmin said: I am on the same horse with him, why should I worship him?
Later, Li Zicheng was dissatisfied with Liu Zongmin's brutal methods of torturing former Ming officials.
Liu Zongmin responded directly: The power of the emperor belongs to you, and the power of torture belongs to me.
There is no need to say anything.
In April, Wu Sangui surrendered and rebelled again.
When Li Zicheng decided to send Liu Zongmin to Shanhaiguan to attack Wu Sangui, Liu Zongmin said again in the palace: We are all thieves, why should you enjoy it in the capital and let me work on the front line?
Li Zicheng had no choice but to lead the expedition in person, and Liu Zongmin followed Li Zicheng.

Although there was no substantive conflict between the two parties, rifts had already formed.
We share hardships and hardships, and we share wealth and honor.
Liu Zongmin was once Li Zicheng's best brother and the most capable general in the Dashun Army.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Zongmin's prestige in the Dashun Dynasty was second only to Li Zicheng.
High merit will overwhelm the master.
It was precisely because Li Zicheng was worried about Liu Zongmin that he did not dare to let him lead his troops alone to reinforce Xiangjing
