Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 297 Personal Liu Zongmin

Although Li Zicheng had not formally ascended the throne in Beijing, but now he seems to have the air of a great emperor who dominates the world.

The Dashun regime had been established in Xijing three months ago, which is later known as Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province.Now that Li Zicheng has taken down Beijing, the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng's style is even stronger, and he is ready to rule the world.

Sleeping in the imperial palace, sleeping on the dragon bed, eunuchs are eunuchs, maids of honor are court ladies, and now they are also civil and military officials, and Niu Jinxing, the national defense officer, is now the chief of the palace.Except for the empress, if anyone else wanted to see the emperor, they had to pass him first, even Song Xiance, the Second Army Guard, and Li Yan, the Third Army Guard.

When Li Yan came back from negotiating with Lin Yi, he waited for three days to see Li Zicheng, but he didn't know that after seeing Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing hurried to leave before they could say a few words.

These few words were about the negotiation between him and Lin Yi, saying that Lin Yi had a tough attitude and would not surrender at all. Instead, he wanted to persuade Li Zicheng to give up Beijing, and his attitude was extremely arrogant.Although Chongzhen is dead, but the crown prince is still alive, and the Ming Dynasty is still alive, Lin Yi is his rival in front of him, so don't take it lightly.In addition, there is Wu Sangui in the north, and the south of the Yangtze River is all under the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty. If Dashun wants to unify the whole country, there is still a long way to go.

But Li Zicheng hummed to Li Yan's words, Li Zicheng had already thought of the fact that Lin Yi would not surrender easily, so he was not surprised.Next, Li Yan has a lot to say, how to govern for the people, win the hearts of the people, and eliminate the remnants of the Ming Dynasty. Now that the military discipline is lax, like bandits, how can it go on like this? to kill.

But Li Zicheng couldn't wait for him to speak, so he hurried away with Niu Jinxing. Li Yan was so anxious that he couldn't stop him. Only later did he know that it was the newly favored beauty Concubine Dou who was calling Li Zicheng.

Of course Li Yan knew that Dou Meiyi was so beautiful that she was one of the most beautiful maids in the Chongzhen Palace.Li Zicheng was fascinated when he saw it, and Li Yan was no stranger to this phenomenon.

In Li Yan's mind, although Li Zicheng is a hero, or a wise king, he is not the 72nd concubine of the Sixth Court of Sangong, who can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman. Li Zicheng is also a human being, so he has to allow it He has seven emotions and six desires.

It's just that the current situation is so severe, because Li Zicheng ignored his important suggestion because of a beautiful woman in the harem, Li Yan couldn't accept it, but he shook his head and sighed, and ran into Song Xiance head-on.

Song Xiance's little black face smiled: "The whole city is celebrating the victory, why are you so unhappy, young master?"

"Sir, can't you see that it can't go on like this... My Dashun has just established a country that is not stable, and the power of Remnant is still strong, and the Tartars outside the pass are watching..."

Li Yan wanted to continue, but Song Xiance interrupted him with a chuckle, "In troubled times, destiny cannot be violated. Let's go, let's have a drink or two and talk while drinking."

Song Xiance took Li Yan away.

Just halfway there, I happened to see Liu Zongmin off.

"Two military advisers, where are you going?" Liu Zongmin clasped his hands together immediately.

Li Yan didn't say a word, looking at him, Song Xiance said: "Go and drink, if the general has a spare time, let's go."

"The general still has important matters to attend to, so go ahead, Mr. Li, I'm really sorry, those bastards turned your fancy that night, even though they didn't know it was your fancy Women, but I have already slaughtered them all, I hope you don't mind, haha."

After finishing speaking, he whipped the horsewhip hard, and led the people away.

Li Yan was about to talk about that, but when he saw Liu Zongming shook his head like this, he left with Song Xiance.

Now some people are not in a hurry to see their emperor Li Zicheng, including Liu Zongmin who is in power. Grow and pile up like a mountain.

Accompanied by his little wife Chen Yuanyuan at night, Liu Zongmin has almost become the emperor of No. 2 these days.As long as Li Zicheng didn't send an order to see him, he wouldn't want to see Li Zicheng. They each played their own way.

But now Li Zicheng has encountered a problem, and Ji Yi is just one of them, this is what he thought of.There is another one that he didn't expect, that is Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Shanhaiguan.

Not long ago, Wu Sangui fully promised to surrender to Dashun. Li Zicheng was very happy. When he was about to send troops to take over Shanhaiguan and accept Wu Sangui's offer of surrender, something happened unexpectedly.

That is, Liu Zongmin robbed Wu Sangui's concubine and tied up Wu Xiang's family and tortured him. This incident spread like wildfire and reached Wu Sangui's ears in Shanhaiguan.

Wu Sangui was furious. He had promised to surrender to the Dashun Army, but now he repented and vowed to fight the Dashun Army to the end.

Li Zicheng didn't pay attention to the little Wu Sangui.His 5 troops, as soon as the Dashun army arrived, could devour them alive.

However, Shanhaiguan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a place where tigers occupy the dragon, guarding the throats of entry and exit, whether retreating or defending, advancing or attacking, Li Zicheng had to consider.

Wu Sangui does not surrender now, and with his strength, he will definitely not be able to fight Dashun, but his 5 horses may have two destinations, one is to unite with the Ming remnants in the pass, and the other is to unite with Lin Yibing.The second trend is to join forces with the Tartars who defected outside the pass and the Qing Dynasty.

Either way, it would pose a serious threat to his Dashun regime.

These two incidents made him restless in the palace, and even his favorite beauties, including Dou Meiyi, he was not in the mood anymore.

We had no choice but to gather civil and military forces to discuss the state affairs.

On the Golden Luan Hall, Li Zicheng sits on the dragon chair that Emperor Chongzhen once sat on.The maid holding the barrier fan behind her was still the court lady next to Emperor Chongzhen, and the eunuch standing next to him was also the eunuch who was in front of Chongzhen.

Under the golden sticks under the dragon chair, Wen Dong and Wu Xi stood on both sides.

Of course, the civil servants are headed by Niu Jinxing, followed by Song Xiance, Li Yan and so on.The generals here are headed by Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu, but there is a special general in the front, that is Gao Guiying, she is dressed in military uniform, and she is not sure that she is a queen. A heroic general.

Someone brought him a grand master's chair behind him, but she didn't do it either.

This pomp is just like the emperor ascending to sit in the Golden Luan Hall. Li Zicheng has not held the enthronement ceremony in Beijing.He definitely wants to do this ceremony, even though he did it once in Xi'an, he didn't think it was enough, and doing it in the imperial capital of Ming Dynasty, would it be the same as doing it in Xi'an?

In this aspect of this chapter, Niu Jinxing has already played, even if Niu Jinxing didn't play, Li Zicheng knew it well.One is the local emperor, and the other is the emperor who dominates the world, that is absolutely different!
In the past few days, he has asked Niu Jinxing to discuss this matter.

All the civil and military officials paid homage to the king, and after the mountain shouted long live, Li Zicheng let all his lovers be free from courtesy.That scene was even more ostentatious than when Emperor Chongzhen was in power.

Li Zicheng told them that today's promotion to the palace is mainly about two issues, one is how to solve the siege of Gaobeidian and save the country's uncle Gao Yigong; the other is how to deal with Wu Sangui in Shanhaiguan.

Among the military generals, apart from Liu Zongmin, Gao Guiying, Li Guo and others who spoke, some of them advocated the use of troops on both sides at the same time, and some advocated to break the siege of Gaobeidian first, and then rescue Gao Yigong.

The other generals didn't speak. They felt that it would be good for them to participate in this kind of occasion. There was no room for them to intervene. As generals, they could fight as they wished. It was the emperor and the civil servants who decided to win the battle. As for the matter, you can fight as you want.

The general's meaning is for reference only, Li Zicheng mainly wants to hear the meaning of the three think tanks.Song Xiance shook his little black head, looked at this and that, but didn't speak.

Li Yan had a lot to say, but when he saw Song Xiance like this, Niu Jinxing hadn't spoken yet, so he pursed his mouth and swallowed it back.

At this time, Niu Jinxing shook his head and came out of work, saluting to Li Zicheng: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is gone, and the Dashun will be prosperous. The people's hearts and minds are what everyone expects. Since Lin Yi and Wu Sangui are so ignorant of current affairs, then send the Celestial People to destroy them. Your Majesty has millions of elite soldiers and thousands of generals, and the heavenly soldiers will come, let these remnants be turned into powder, and your Majesty will just pass on the decree."

When Li Zicheng heard this, he couldn't stop nodding his head, "Then, in the opinion of a military advisor, how should we use our troops?"

"Your Majesty, Wu Sangui in Shanhaiguan has only 5 troops. Your Majesty can send General Liu Zongmin to lead a force to conquer Shanhaiguan and punish him. As for Gaobeidian, Li Yan, the military adviser, can take on the important task. Among the generals in the formation battalion, you can send any one at random. That's it."

There are several generals in the establishment battalion, such as Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu and so on.

"Zunzuo, I will be a military adviser." Li Zicheng made a decision on the spot, because he was asked to send troops, and it was probably the same.

"Wait a minute." Liu Zongmin didn't like to listen to it a long time ago. In his opinion, what Niu Jinxing said might as well be a fart. Sending this to fight that war, why don't you go yourself?Oh, let others go out to fight, and you and His Majesty enjoy the blessings in the capital, what the hell are you?
Therefore, Liu Zongmin didn't even look at Niu Jinxing, but just cupped his fists at Li Zicheng above, which was considered rude.

"Your Majesty, I, Liu Zongmin, are not convinced."

When Wenwu present heard this, only Liu Zongmin dared to speak like that.

Li Zicheng sounded a bit harsh, but he didn't dare to get angry, and put on a smiley face, "Jiexuan, you might as well speak up if you have something to say."

"Then I'll talk about it." Liu Zongmin didn't care about the golden palace or the emperor, "Let me go to Shanhaiguan to deal with Wu Sangui. There is nothing to say about this. Mr. Li went to relieve the siege of Gaobeidian. I, Liu Zongmin, have no objections either, so what are your Majesties and Mr. Niu doing?"

Niu Jinxing stared at the triangular eyes, is this plausible?As a military commander, of course you should lead troops to fight, and you are the one who provoked this matter. Who told you to rob Wu Sangui's concubine, or would Wu Sangui go back on his word?If you don't go to this matter, who will you go to?

Your Majesty, the king of the country, Niu is a great military adviser to protect the country, and he is also a scholar of Tianyou Pavilion. He just occupied Beijing, and a lot of things are waiting to be done.Don't think that you are some kind of General Quan, Ruhou, if His Majesty is unhappy, you should go back and strike iron!

But when he saw Liu Zongmin's appearance, Niu Jinxing shut up and looked at Li Zicheng.

"Oh, hehe, Jiexuan," Li Zicheng laughed dryly, a little unnaturally, knowing that this was a thorn.

In the past, he and Hao Yaoqi were both thorns. If no one dared to say, they both dared, and if no one dared to do, they both dared. Li Zicheng usually let them. Now that Hao Yaoqi is gone, He is the only one left, but if it continues like this, it’s not good. I, Li Zicheng, will be the emperor in the future. No matter how great your contribution, Liu Zongmin, you will be my servant. From now on, you must be careful in what you say and do. him.

But in front of so many people, Li Zicheng didn't say anything, which was enough to give him face.

"We just got off to Beijing, and there are still many things to do. Of course, Zhenhe and the two military advisers have to be busy with the affairs of King's Landing. Does Jiexuan see anything wrong with this?"

"Forgive me, everyone is a thief, why are you here to enjoy the blessings, let me go out and fight, I Liu Zongmin just refuse to accept! Expedition to Shanhaiguan, if His Majesty personally conquers, I, Liu Zongmin, will be the vanguard, otherwise I will not go anywhere! "

On the Golden Luan Hall, all the civil and military officials, including the maids and eunuchs, as well as the general gate standing at the gate, and the guards outside and the guards inside, could all hear clearly.

Needle drop can be heard in the hall, and no one dares to say a word.

After about a dozen seconds, Li Zicheng suddenly laughed: "Okay, then I will march in person, and you can be my vanguard. After 3 days, the two armies will set off at the same time, and the court will be dispersed!"

Niu Jinxing wanted to say something more, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Li Zicheng originally planned to be stationed in Beijing. Being the emperor in Beijing is one aspect. The main reason is that he is really afraid that Lin Yi will call, but now Liu Zongmin doesn't listen to the greetings, and it is not easy to fall out. To deal with Wu Sangui, Liu Zongmin is probably the only one. After thinking about it , had to follow him.

3 days later, Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin led the army, and 10 soldiers sent to Shanhaiguan. Niu Jinxing, as a military adviser, of course followed, and they also pulled 200 heavy artillery pieces.

The other group also had 10 troops and 100 cannons in red clothes. The leader of the army was Li Guo, the general of the formation battalion, and Li Yan was the military adviser.

Before Li Zicheng left, he temporarily handed over the affairs of Beijing city to his wife Gao Guiying. There were still 10,000+ troops in Beijing city, and Song Xiance, the Second Army of the National Defense Army, was fully assisted.

In Li Zicheng's view, although Lin Yi is difficult to deal with, Beijing is close to Gaobeidian, not counting the 5 horses in Gaobeidian, they still have more than 20 horses, with their wife Gao Guiying, and two major military divisions to assist them , Generals Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Liu Fangliang, and Yuan Zongdi, who are used to fighting, are all under their command. The 10 troops to deal with Lin Yi should be almost the same.

Wu Sangui's side is also the main event. It would be better to bring him over and let him deal with Lin Yi. I heard that the two of them have long been at odds. As long as he is willing to surrender to Dashun, he can negotiate any conditions, including his father, Wu Xiang and his family. They were all released, and the official was reinstated. As for Chen Yuanyuan, what is a prostitute?There were many beauties in the Ming Dynasty, and Wu Sangui could give him as much as he asked for, not to mention the rich salary of high-ranking officials.

If this Wu Sangui is really ignorant of current affairs, he will be slaughtered this time, and heavy troops will be stationed at Shanhaiguan. The first pass in the world must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Tartars. This is why Li Zicheng himself went out.

When Li Zicheng saw Wu Sangui this time, he wanted to have a good talk with him.Such an important matter, if Li Zicheng didn't do it himself, Liu Zongmin couldn't do it at all.

After the 20 troops sacrificed their flags, the cannons rang three times, and they left the Beizhimen and Nanzhimen, marching to the battlefield...

Outside Gaobeidian, Lin Yi's barracks.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, sitting the crown prince Zhu Cihong and accompanying Li Shichun.

Ji Dong is talking to the prince...
