Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 84

Chuangjun lost Shanhaiguan and Beijing.

The only thing not lost is the courage to continue fighting against the Qing army.

"The soldiers fought bravely, not afraid of Jiannu artillery fire, and fought equally."

Li Zicheng muttered to himself, his eyes closed tightly, and his palms kept opening and closing on the handle of the saber at his waist following the sound of distant cannons. His haggard face showed an expression of enjoying listening to pleasant music.

Even if he knew that most of the gunfire and explosions were Qing army cannons.

but.

When he thought that he was about to leave Beijing and return to Xi'an in embarrassment, he was particularly nostalgic for the sound of the artillery.

It's not that he hasn't complained hysterically, but after these days he understands.

No matter how he vents, he can't change the situation that he has retreated all the way from Shanhaiguan, and now he has almost failed.

The old battalion suffered heavy losses, and the soldiers were alienated from their virtues. Those Ming troops who surrendered could still take command in front of Shanhaiguan. After retreating from Shanhaiguan, some of them quickly disconnected from the Dashun army.

It is estimated that he has become a slave like Wu Sangui and that dog thief now.

That arrow book really hit everything.

unfortunately
Li Zicheng couldn't help but sneered when he thought of this.

But at that time, he really couldn't wait any longer.

Wait another month, and the Shanhaiguan frontier army may not even have the ability to fight Jiannu.

But after laughing, Li Zicheng suddenly became enlightened.

I couldn't hide the smile on my face.

In the past few months, I have enjoyed the pinnacle of my life.

Destroy the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Received numerous surrendered soldiers.

Excessive copying of wages, in the huge Beijing, money and beautiful women can get whatever they want, from the small people to the old princes and dignitaries, all worship at his feet.

Not to mention proclaiming himself emperor in Xi'an, he also ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in the capital of the Ming Dynasty!
What a joy!

Unfortunately.
Take advantage of Jian slaves!
Li Zicheng looked at where the Qing army was, and his smile was still open-minded.

He looked away.

He is determined not to give up Beijing.

But looking at the first half of his life, his life can be said to be full of ups and downs. When he was most desperate, he wore a big shackle and wailed in the prison. He never thought that he could see the sun tomorrow, and he just wanted to die happily, so as not to be like those old men. Like a prisoner, he was unable to straighten his waist for a lifetime under the pressure of the shackles.

but!

Although I, Lao Li, live in Beijing for a while, I am a traitor!It's a bandit!

Dashun Army should eat wherever they go!
There is almost enough food in Beijing, so it’s okay to let you be a slave for two days!
This gap from heaven to hell!It's just going home! !
Thinking about it, Li Zicheng clenched his fists tightly, his nails sunk deep in the calluses of his palms.

"Stay safe for big plans."

After saying these words lightly, he waved his hand, and the guard leaned over and cupped his hands.

"Order, the last two artillery battalions should also be withdrawn."

The prince was bending over and backing up to say hello, but Li Zicheng stopped him again: "Let Song Wang and Ding'an Gongjia get ready to go with me, and Princess Kunxing is recovering from her injuries, but she is seriously injured, so I have to work harder when I go south with my army." Take care, let the medical officers of the imperial medical office go with the princess frame."

"As ordered."

At this time, thinking that he held almost all the wealth of the entire Great Ming capital, and swept away all the palace officials and a large number of people in the Imperial City of the Ming Dynasty, the smile on Li Zicheng's face became even stronger.

Yes.

Save yourself for big plans.

It's too early to get back.

There is still enough power to carry out a second sweep of the capital, and it can also retreat under the pressure of Jiannu and Wu Sangui, leaving behind a capital that is not an empty shell, but better than an empty shell.

The previous battle to defend the capital was for this.

Now, the bombardment lasted for three full days, and the offensive of Jiannu's chasing soldiers was completely resolved, and they retreated despite the difficulties.

Come to think of it, this slave chief who is already in the capital after chasing soldiers should have figured out the current situation of the capital.
I don't know how he feels now?
No matter what Dorgon thought, Li Zicheng withdrew.

He took Emperor Chongzhen's crown prince, third son, a princess with a broken arm, and everything in the Imperial City of the capital to retreat.

All of this is by no means a lie.

With Li Zicheng's order, all valuable objects in the Forbidden City were swept away!
Grandpa can't stand it anymore!

Grandpa changed it to robbery!

No kidding, it is difficult for the Qing army to find a chair and bench made of more expensive materials in the Forbidden City today, and all the dragon chairs have been taken away!

That is to say, time is running out, otherwise Li Zicheng wants to take away the spine beasts in the palaces of the Forbidden City.

At the same time, all the artisans and ordnance in the capital were taken away.

And because the image of Shanhaiguan's defeat did not reveal much, Li Zicheng still has hundreds of thousands of Ming troops under his command.

The capital of Dashun is also in Xi'an.

Going back is not a big problem in name.

He also brought along the three children left behind by Chongzhen, all of whom treated each other as princes and princes, without any contempt or insult. species expulsion.

He Dashun issued a joint announcement stating that this guy is not a Han from now on.

This is not over yet.

The court painter who came out of the capital still had to paint a portrait of Wu Sangui, the money squirrel, while walking.

Li Zicheng waited for it to spread to the world.

And all of this shows that Li Zicheng now hates Man Qing and Wu Sangui to the extreme!

Originally, in history, he didn't intend to wait at all, and he didn't show any sincerity to Wu Sangui.

It's not the same now.

After several months of stalemate, Lao Li almost gave up the position under his buttocks as a condition, and gave him whatever money he wanted for the throne, power, and even the military salary of the Guan Ning Army for half a year.

That's it.

You are still hesitating.

If it wasn't too unlikely, Li Zicheng even wanted to give Chongzhen's two sons and one daughter to Nanming, so as to unite Nanming to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

In order to have the opportunity to dismember Wu Sangui's five horses in the future!

"Although Jianu entered the customs, the Shun army is still there. Even if he can't defend the capital and retreat, then Jiannu will definitely stop if he wants to go south to Dashun. On the contrary, it is Wu Sangui. I guess after this time, no matter Dashun Daxi or me, Daming , I hate him even more."

Can't help feeling a sigh in his heart, Zhu Youjian looked at the Ninggu Tower guard Xingjia who was bound and kneeling in front of him, and couldn't help being a little happy to see the slight disdain on his face.

"Why, you look down on Wu Sangui?"

Xingjia trembled when he heard the words, and then straightened his neck like before, with a look of dissatisfaction, but he responded verbally: "This person is treacherous, has two ends of a snake and a rat, and a shameless villain! If it is me in Shanhaiguan ! Either die than surrender! Or quickly choose the hero and serve him! This is what a man does!"

"Yo?"

Although it is in Manchu, the meaning is in place. Zhu Youjian was amazed by such adjectives and values.

"Read some books!"

Although Xing Jia was tied up in a bit of a mess, she still pretended to be indifferent and unyielding: "I've only read Spring and Autumn several times."

Speaking of which, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

He has never read Chunqiu.

But the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been listened to several times.

Originally, he was illiterate before, but he heard that there were Han people in Shengjing City who were telling stories, speaking the Manchu version of the Three Kingdoms, and selling manuscripts of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in Manchu. In order to follow the drama, he learned Manchu abruptly. Less Chinese characters
"That's really incredible, hurry up, untie his rope and give him a seat."
