"Let's him, Zhu Chunchen's eighteenth generation ancestor!"

Li Zicheng stood in the middle of a large hall in the Diaoyutai Palace, struck the floor tiles with his long sword hatefully, so angry that his left eye socket, which had lost its eyeball, also felt a faint pain.

He was shot blind in his left eye during the opening of the lockdown, and although it had been a long time and the wound had healed completely, he still had a sudden sharp pain like a bayonet cut. And every time there was a sharp pain in his left eye, he would think of the bloody battle of the three openings!

And will this Beijing city be more difficult to fight than Kaifeng City?

Thinking of this question, Li Zicheng fell silent all of a sudden, and the silence was a little terrifying!

"Your Majesty, today's losses of our army are insignificant," Niu Jinxing, a scholar of the Great Shun Tianyou Palace, stepped forward and gently comforted, "And the soldiers of each battalion are all excited by the cunning of the Zhu thief, everyone thinks about war, and the military spirit is available!" ”

Song Xiance also said: "Your Majesty, the minister has already asked Tang Tong and Du Zhizhi, Zhu Chunchen, who designed us today, is the most trusted general of the Zhu Emperor, and he is the most trusted general of the Zhu family. I really didn't expect that among such a fat boy, there would also be a general who could fight. ”

Li Zicheng's anger calmed down slightly, "What a pure minister!" actually saw through Jun En's plan, and almost plotted against Lao Tzu...... If the Son of Heaven of the Zhu family had used him to suppress us from the beginning, we might not have been able to get to where we are today! It seems that we have thought about entering Beijing very simply! ”

"Your Majesty," Gu Junen, who had seen through his scheme, was a little sluggish, but he was still trying his best to plan for Li Zicheng, "The minister also asked Du Zhizhi and the Zhu thief generals who took refuge in Changping, Beijing is indeed empty, there is a shortage of soldiers and little salary, even if there is a good general like Zhu Chunchen, he can't hold out for long." Now we need to pay attention to Wu Sangui's department in the east, and we may not be able to capture Beijing City before Wu Sangui comes to the rescue! ”

Li Zicheng frowned, and one eye swept over the mastermind in the hall, and finally landed on a strong man with a beard and a yellow face and a short beard with an elegant demeanor.

"Can you win?" Li Zicheng didn't name him, but just asked casually. But all eyes were on the bearded and yellow-faced strong man and the short beard.

The bearded and yellow-faced strong man was still wearing iron armor, wearing a phoenix-winged helmet, and a waist knife hanging on his belt. ”

"It's not good to fight ......," the short-bearded man gave a different answer.

"Huang Hu, you say it first." Li Zicheng looked at the bearded yellow-faced strong man, "Yellow Tiger" is this person's nickname, his big name is Liu Zongmin, Li Zicheng's most trusted general, the official worships the general, and leads the Zhongquan pro-army.

Liu Zongmin touched his beard and said with a smile: "The son of the Zhu family does not have many elite soldiers in Beijing, so he is not allowed to fight in the field, Wu Sangui is just a lone army, so why be afraid of thirty or forty thousand?" There are more than 50,000 in my old camp here, how can I not beat him? ”

"Sky Harrier, what do you say?" Li Zicheng asked the short beard again, "Lock Sky Harrier" is also a nickname, his real name is Tian Jianxiu, the official worships the commander of the general Zhu Yingquan, has handsome talents, and is the general that Li Zicheng relies on the most.

"The Guanning border army has fought and died with Manchurian soldiers for many years, and naturally it is not comparable to the Zhu thief soldiers and horses elsewhere." Tian Jianxiu said, "Besides, the Guanning army has many cavalry, and it is like the wind to and fro, so it is not easy to capture. If the Beijing division is difficult to attack, and the Guanning cavalry does not fight a decisive battle with me, but only cuts off our grain routes, what should we do? ”

Li Zicheng's army also has to eat! And the area around Beijing has been ravaged by war, and it has long been a barren scene, how can it afford an army of 100,000 or more?

Therefore, Li Zicheng had to mobilize grain and grass from Xuanfu, Datong, and Taiyuan in order to support the protracted war of the army.

If Beijing could not be attacked for a long time, and Wu Sangui used the Guanning Iron Cavalry to cut off Li Zicheng's logistics, then his troops could only retreat in disgrace.

"Won't it?" Liu Zongmin shook his head and said, "Wu Sangui dares not to save Jingshi?" Aren't you afraid that the Emperor of the Zhu family will cut off his head? ”

Tian Jianxiu shook his head and said, "If he forces us back, the Emperor of the Zhu family will only reward him." If we broke the Jingshi first, hehe...... The emperor of the Zhu family himself is dead, whose skull is he going to chop off? ”

Li Zicheng nodded, "That's what I said!" Lock the Sky Harrier, if you have any way, just talk to E, don't always sell off. ”

Tian Jianxiu thought for a while and said, "If the Jingshi is difficult to break for a while, it is better to surround the three queyi." ”

"Wai Sanque one?" Li Zicheng thought for a while, "Is it to leave a way for the Emperor of the Zhu family to live, lest he defend the city?" ”

Liu Zongmin interjected: "The emperor of the Zhu family won't run, he will run early." ”

Tian Jianxiu smiled: "Yes, he won't run, but he will transfer Wu Sangui to the Beijing Division!" As long as Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses enter the high wall of the Beijing Division, they will be in a cage...... Or be forced out of the city to fight, or be trapped to death by us with a long trench! In any case, it's a dead end! ”

"Good! Haha," Li Zicheng laughed, "Lock the Sky Harrier, you are really Xu Da and Chang Yuchun...... That's it! Surrounded by three queyi, but the amount could not let Wu Sangui enter the city easily.

Huang Hu, you put the men and horses of the Zhongquan pro-army in order, drive to Shahe and station, once you find Wu Sangui's men and horses, you will let go of the front army and the middle army, and only fight their rear army. Give a hard beating!

Lock the Sky Harrier, you will fight here in Jingshi...... Set up the head of the camp tonight, start building siege equipment tomorrow, and send someone to call the city tomorrow night. This plan must be continued! ”

……

Li Zicheng was bluffed by the "famous general Zhu Chunchen", collected his troops and returned to the camp, and there was no movement for the time being. Zhu Cihong on the side of Fuchengmen sighed.

Fortunately, Li Zicheng was not annoyed and embarrassed and attacked the city in a big way, otherwise the defense of the Beijing division and his camp would have to reveal their original form.

Behind the tall and seemingly inoffensive walls of Zhu Beijing City, there were less than 1,000 troops that could really fight. Even these 1,000 people are not the opponents of Li Chuang's old camp.

It can be said with great certainty that as long as Li Zicheng's old battalion soldiers went to the city wall of Beijing's inner city, Zhu Cihong would only flee for his life in embarrassment.

And now, of course, Zhu Cihong has to prepare to flee for his life, but he can escape less embarrassed......

"Cheng Guogong, if you want to open a little, money is something outside the body, and how is Beijing's city defense, why don't you know? Sooner or later, it will not be kept. With so much silver in your family, can you still take it all to Jiangnan? The palace doesn't want you to have all your wealth, as many carriages you can find, you can take as much gold and silver as you can, and if you can't take it away, you can dedicate it to the palace. When you arrive in Jiangnan, the palace will let you be the head of the Beijing camp. ”

Now that it was getting late, Zhu Cihong had already arrived at the Chengguo Mansion with Zhu Chunchen, and the two of them sat in the outer hall, put on the wine and food, and watched boxes of silver move out of the mansion while eating.

This is all the silver of the Chengguo Mansion! Seeing Zhu Chunchen's heart like a knife, tears flowed down his face. Zhu Cihong was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see him sad, so he persuaded him with good words.

"Chitose Lord don't want to laugh with the minister," Zhu Chunchen said while leaving tears, "The minister has self-knowledge, he went to Jiangnan, and it is enough to be a rich man, how dare he think of the official position of the general Rong Jingying?" ”

"Why can't you be the boss?" Zhu Cihong sandwiched a piece of juicy fatty meat, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it a few times, then swallowed it, "You will cut off people's heads now!" Zhao Zhilong and Xu Hongji in Nanjing have this ability? ”

As soon as he heard about cutting people's heads, Zhu Chunchen was disgusted, and he was sad when he saw his own silver being taken away. Sad and disgusting, I really have no appetite at all.

Zhu Cihong continued to flicker: "Don't shirk it...... When they arrived in Jiangnan, the nobles used in the palace were all northerners. You, Li Guozhen, and Zhang Shize are all pillars of the country, and they are much more reliable than those in Liudu. When the time comes, the commanders, the garrisons, and the admirals will all be yours. ”

What he said was not completely fooling, compared to the group of nobles who stayed in Nanjing, the nobles in Beijing are of course more reliable. Because the nobles of Beijing have been embezzling land in the area of Beizhili, they are all proletarians after arriving in Nanjing...... It's like the people who followed Chiang to Taiwan in history! If you don't take allegiance, you won't have anything to eat!
