Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 665

A few months ago, Li Zicheng was ordered to rebel to earn Zhang Xianzhong, and now Zhang Xianzhong was ordered to rebel and go to Qixing Mountain to capture Li Zicheng. It is estimated that only Zhu Yousong dared to use such a weird strategy.

Is Li Zicheng an idiot?That is the all-powerful Emperor Dashun!The trick he used against Zhang Xianzhong, and now Zhang Xianzhong uses this trick against him, Li Zicheng, will it work?
Song Cexian and Liu Zhaoji were full of suspicion, not only them, but also all the soldiers of the Ming army who knew about this plan were all puzzled.

But seeing that their majesty was so confident, no one dared to say any more, but kept drawing arcs in their hearts.

Then Zhu Yousong passed down another decree, asking Li Dingguo to order [-] troops, and Song Xiance as a military adviser, leading Zhang Sheng and Zhang Hu to pursue and suppress Sun Kewang.

Although the Daxi regime was over, the local officials under Daxi's rule came to surrender one after another, and the Ming army soldiers were taking over these places, but Sun Kewang, Wang Shangli, and Wang Zhaolin fled down Phoenix Mountain with [-] to [-] remnants, occupied Jiulong Mountain, and burned them all along the way. Killing and looting is undoubtedly the same as bandits.

After the battle at Phoenix Mountain was over, Zhu Yousong decided to carry out the suppression of the bandits to the end. After all, Sun Kewang was not a simple person. Together with Wang Zhaolin and Wang Shangli, they gathered in the mountains and forests in a panic. A cancer.

After Li Dingguo and Song Xiance left, Zhu Yousong also set up camp. He brought an army of 20 from Phoenix Mountain to Qixing Mountain in the northwest, a few days away from Zhang Xianzhong's "rebel army". distance.

Seven Star Mountain is located in Jiuzhai County, more than a thousand miles away from Phoenix Mountain.

Li Zicheng rebelled against Kuizhou City, but failed to rescue his daughter Li Na. He gathered the remnants of Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi, Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang, Tian Jianxiu and other [-] soldiers to occupy Qixing Mountain.

He wants to learn from how he was in Shangluo Mountain, and the Eighteenth Cavalry made a comeback. Now he still has 4000 people, five strong generals, and he has full confidence in making a comeback.

Only now did Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi, Gao Yigong and Liu Fangliang know Li Zizi's true purpose.

These four generals were different from Li Zicheng, they had sincerely surrendered to Zhu Yousong, but it was too late to know the truth, and they were all fooled by Li Zicheng.I have no choice but to settle down when it comes.

Especially Li Guo and Gao Yigong, one is Li Zicheng's nephew and the other is Li Zicheng's wife and brother. Although there are grievances between them, they are relatives after all.

Moreover, Li Zicheng has absolute authority in their hearts. Li Zicheng is not only their King Li Chuang, but also their Majesty the Emperor Dashun.

After Li Zicheng came to Qixing Mountain, he started to move around.

His mobility is quite strong, and soon his influence extended from Qixing Mountain to Jiuzhai County. The officials in Jiuzhai County were so frightened that they fled with their seals.

Now from Qixing Mountain to the entire Jiuzhai County, a large area of ​​more than 3000 square kilometers is under the rule of Li Zicheng.

This area is mountainous and complex, and the countryside is remote.It originally belonged to the intersection area of ​​Daxi and Dashun, plus it belonged to the western border of the dilapidated Ming Dynasty. It basically belonged to the anarchic three-way zone. It's chaotic, whoever comes up will search for the people's fat and anointment, and the common people are miserable.

After Li Zicheng occupied this place, he drove away those corrupt officials, punished some bullies, and began to publicize his thought of governing the world. He led the army to do good things for the common people. support.

On the other hand, Li Zicheng mainly wanted to use this as a base to strengthen his own strength. To recruit his own army, he must have money.

Where does the money come from, and we can't collect taxes from the common people, so we have to rob the powerful landlords.Therefore, Li Zicheng formed a deadly feud with the nearby landlord Hao Qiang.

The small landlords couldn't afford to offend him, so they fled one after another and joined the big landlords. The powerful merged, built villages, formed regiments, and the powerful landlords also practiced their troops all day long.

But Li Zicheng was more than enough to deal with these regiments. He conquered several nearby villages without much trouble, but he didn't kill them all. He just gave them the number and time limit, and asked them to pay money to raise food.

In addition, Li Zicheng also led the army to open up wasteland and farm land, intending to be self-sufficient and tide over the difficulties.

After several months of planning, Li Zicheng recruited more than 1000 soldiers and horses, adding up to more than [-] troops.

Then he ordered Li Guo and Gao Yigong to practice soldiers and horses all day long.

Then he sent many spies to inquire about the situation of Zhu Yousong, Zhang Xianzhong and others. The situation of the battle between Daming and Daxi was his most concerned issue.

Regardless of his absence, he knew everything about the Battle of Kuizhou and the Battle of Phoenix Mountain.Zhu Yousong first cleaned up Li Dingguo, and then used his plan to open the city gate by fraud, and outwitted the Daxi capital Shimen Bridge for a battle. The Daxi army was seriously injured, and then they smashed Phoenix Mountain.

Zhang Xianzhong was forced to surrender, and since then the Daxi regime has come to an end just like his Dashun regime.

Zhang Xianzhong actually surrendered?With strong soldiers and strong horses, Daxi Kingdom is finished so soon?Then I thought about my own Dashun, why wasn't it so quick as a flash in the pan?
But can Zhu Yousong allow Zhang Xianzhong to surrender?As early as in the Chongzhen era, I and Zhang Xianzhong turned against each other, surrendered, and turned against each other. If Zhu Yousong didn’t have a deep impression of these things, I just staged a big scene with him in which he surrendered and then turned back. He still has such a short memory , still dare to believe Zhang Jingxuan?
No, with Zhu Yousong's shrewdness, it is impossible not to see through it, and he, Zhang Xianzhong, will not really surrender.

While lamenting the strength of his opponent, Li Zicheng felt that Zhang Xianzhong was pitiful, but instead of Kuizhou, he even regretted it a little.

He and Zhang Xianzhong are now connected by the same fate, and they are both the son-in-law and father-in-law of the other party. This relationship closely links the fate of the two people.

When Zhang Xianzhong was trapped in Phoenix Mountain, Li Zicheng even thought about sending troops to rescue him, but he felt that it would be a drop in the bucket with his few troops.

Now the old Zhang's family is over, so next, Zhu Yousong should target his old Li's family.

Li Zicheng still had a relatively strategic vision. Thinking of this, he immediately withdrew his troops and retreated from Jiuzhai County to Qixing Mountain with his men and horses, together with some ordinary people who were willing to go up the mountain.

Then step up the construction of fortifications, Qixing Mountain is already very dangerous, and after the military soldiers have built it so deliberately, in addition to the steep stone cliffs, it is the mountain fortress with rolling trees, thunder stones and heavy guards.Although there are only 5000 soldiers on the mountain, even the people who support Li Zicheng are less than 2, but they defend this mountain no less than Phoenix Mountain.

Li Zicheng had been training soldiers and horses on the mountain all day long. On this day, he suddenly received a report that Zhang Xianzhong had left the camp of the Ming army and was heading towards Qixing Mountain with a team of troops.

Li Zicheng was startled when he heard it, and then laughed...
