Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 456 Fan Wencheng Offers Again
The 11 troops of Zheng Hongkui's uncle and nephew went to Fujian, and Zhu Yousong let out a sigh of relief.

Zheng Zhilong rebelled and asked his own brothers and sons to lead troops to deal with it. This is also the best policy.

With his hands free, Zhu Yousong can continue to implement his New Deal, recuperate, stabilize the situation in Ming Dynasty, and vigorously develop the economy. In the end, the war is an economic battle. Only when the economy develops, the people's livelihood is stable, and the national strength is strong, can we fight against everything Invading enemy.

In other words, Zhu Yousong really didn't pay attention to this southeastern boss who is also a businessman, an official and a thief.

In Zhu Yousong's eyes, the biggest enemies are of course Li Zicheng from Shaanxi and Zhang Xianzhong from Central Sichuan.

Practice has proved that Zhu Yousong is wise.

After Zheng Hongkui and his brother's annihilation, word spread in the Beijing area and even the entire Jiangbei area. Except for Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, and Shaanxi, etc., this is the territory under the actual control of thieves. Dare not to follow the policy.Collecting grain and ancestors, military service and corvee service went very smoothly.

Zhu Yousong now focused on Shaanxi and Sichuan. On the one hand, he worked with civil and military officials to study countermeasures against thieves, and on the other hand, he sent Jin Yiwei and scouts to keep an eye on Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's movements.

Attention temporarily turns to Xijing in Shaanxi, which is the capital of the Dashun regime founded by Li Zicheng, which is today's Xijing in Shaanxi.

Tian Jianxiu took more than 1 remnants of the defeated generals, and finally retreated to Xijing. Seeing the Chuang Wang Li Zicheng, Tian Jianxiu knelt down again to plead guilty, and explained the reason for the fight.

Li Zicheng was furious, and insisted on the imperial conquest, and invited all the troops of Dashun Kingdom to fight to the death with Zhu Yousong to avenge Liu Zongmin.

No wonder Chuang Wang Li Zicheng was impulsive and lost his temper. Liu Zongmin was Li Zicheng's right-hand man. Since Li Zicheng took over the banner of Chuangzi from Gao Yingxiang, Liu Zongmin could fully support half of his country.

Even in the cruelest battle in Nanyuan, Tongguan, Liu Zongmin fought side by side with him. In the end, including Li Zicheng, only eighteen riders broke through the siege, and Liu Zongmin was one of the eighteen riders.

Now Liu Zongmin died at the hands of Zhu Yousong, out of 1 Dashun troops, only more than [-] came back. This battle was a terrible defeat.

Fan Wencheng hurriedly blocked the rent, "Your Majesty can't. Zhu Yousong's morale is high, he can only outsmart him, but he cannot be defeated."

"How do you know that?" Li Zicheng's forehead was bulging with veins, obviously dissatisfied with Fan Wencheng's words.

The former suggested that Li Zicheng send troops to Beijing, and it was Fan Wencheng who drove the Tartars away. Now that Liu Zongmin's army is dead, and Fan Wencheng said such words again, how could Li Zicheng not be annoyed?

"Your Majesty is holy, Zhu Yousong's momentum is like a broken bamboo, and the Manchu Manchus are retreating steadily, retreating from Jianghuai to Beijing, and retreating from Beijing to outside the customs, including Dorgon, Prince Baylor of the Qing court, and King Sanshun, almost The [-] troops were defeated one after another, and General Quan was defeated one after another, please forgive my humble minister for saying that even if His Majesty marches on his own and uses the power of the entire Dashun Kingdom, he may not be able to defeat Zhu Yousong and avenge General Quan."

"Then Ai Qing, tell me, what should I do?"

"Zhu Yousong is highly skilled in martial arts. He can single-handedly kill several times in an army of ten thousand horses. He has two ace divisions and hundreds of red cannons under his command. No one can be his opponent in a frontal battle. His humble minister In my humble opinion, the only way to win is to pinpoint his weakness and attack it in one fell swoop."

"What does Ai Qing think is Zhu Yousong's weakness?"

Fan Wencheng ordered Li Zicheng to back away from the left and right, and said to Li Zicheng in a low voice: "Your Majesty Zhu Yousong is a drunkard, and everyone knows that there are two princesses under your Majesty's knees. , but send the two princesses to sneak into Daming, try to get close to Zhu Yousong, and then take advantage of Zhu Yousong's unpreparedness to assassinate the king, then great things will happen."

When Fan Wencheng said this plan, Li Zicheng didn't speak for a long time, he paced back and forth, Fan Wencheng bowed his body, and each other could hear each other's heartbeat in the quiet hall.

The two princesses under Li Zicheng's knees mentioned by Fan Wencheng were not Li Zicheng's own, but were adopted by them from the refugee camp. The eldest princess was called Huiying, and the second princess was called Huimei.

The two sisters, one sixteen and one seventeen, grew up so big. Neither of them knew their surnames or who their parents were. They only knew that Li Zicheng and Li Zicheng's wife Gao Guiying were their godfathers and godmothers. Li Zicheng and Gao Guiying took turns. Teach their sisters martial arts and treat them as their own.In their hearts, the two sisters have long regarded Li Zicheng and Gao Guiying as their own parents.

Let the two sisters lurk beside Zhu Yousong and take the opportunity to assassinate Zhu Yousong. It is really a feasible way, but this matter is very difficult. Don't look at him as King Chuang and the emperor of Dashun Kingdom. He didn't dare to listen to him, and he also felt a little embarrassed.

After walking for several steps, Li Zicheng sent Fan Wencheng away and ordered someone to invite Queen Gao Guiying.

Gao Guiying is not Li Zicheng's married couple, this is Li Zicheng's third wife.The former two wives, Li Zicheng, felt sad and wronged. One had an affair with a bully in the village and was killed by Li Zicheng, and the other was abducted by his general Gao Jie.

But now Gao Guiying is an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. Whether he is fighting on the battlefield or governing the country, he is Li Zicheng's right-hand man.

Therefore, after Li Zicheng captured Beijing, he made Gao Guiying his queen.

Now Li Zicheng intends to use Fan Wencheng's strategy, he must discuss it with the queen.

After listening to Li Zicheng's words, Gao Guiying became anxious, "Your Majesty, who gave you this bad idea? Is it Fan Wencheng!"

"Queen calm down, is there anything wrong?"

"Your Majesty, my concubine thinks that this matter must never be allowed. Zhu Yousong is highly skilled in martial arts and is treacherous. If there is a mistake, wouldn't it push Huiying and Huimei into the fire pit?"

"Of course I have thought about this, but Queen, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's cub?"

"But Your Majesty, Huiying and Zhang Nai already belong to each other, can Your Majesty have the heart to separate them?"

Li Zicheng walked a few more steps, did not speak, and said for a long time: "How can I not know this, but I really have no choice. Now that the country is in crisis, everyone is responsible. The martial arts of the two of them are deeply inherited from you and me. If they are dead, the two of them are alive, so I have to bear the pain to part with each other."

"Your Majesty, so you have decided?" Gao Guiying said, tears welling in her eyes, and there was a pain in her heart.

Li Zicheng nodded, you can tell their sisters, after this is done, I will never treat them badly. "

Gao Guiying left Li Zicheng with tears in her eyes, and went to the Royal Garden to see Huiying and Huimei.

The two sisters were practicing their swords, but they were so full of sword energy that they were inseparable.Gao Guiying quietly sent the maids away, and looked at them here as if they were her own daughters, in obscurity, until Huiying and Huimei finished practicing their swords, stopped their moves, found her, smiled, and greeted her like a bird Fly here...
