Since the winter and October of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng captured Tongguan and Sun Chuanting died. After that, Li Zicheng's army was like a bamboo, breaking through Huayin, Weinan, Huazhou and Lintong, and quickly reached Xi'an.

Xi'an guard Wang Genzi opened the east gate to receive thieves into the city. Li Zicheng captured Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, and the interesting thing is that he did not kill Zhu Cunshu, but appointed him as the general of Quan, and Zhu Yijun, the king of Yongshou, was also appointed as the deputy general.

This is really ironic, let the descendants of the old Zhu family follow the rebellion of the old Zhu family.

Li Zicheng This is to let the world see, the children and grandchildren of the old Zhu family are all mixed up with me Li Zicheng, see no, if the future is not bright with me, the life is not good, the material is not rich, and the spirit is not sublimated, can the children and grandchildren of the old Zhu family follow me to fight back?

The people of the old Zhu family have all turned back, what else do you have to be embarrassed about, come here, the bread is big, and the beauties can be picked at will, as long as you follow me Li Zicheng.

In the whole of Xi'an, except for more than ten people such as the governor Feng Shikong and others, who were unwilling to be executed because they did not want to be thieves, Lu Zhiqi and others all surrendered, and Li Cheng indulged the soldiers to plunder for three days before ordering a ban. Xi'an was changed to Chang'an, called Xijing. gave Gu Junen a piece of female music as a reward for his proposed entry strategy.

At the same time, a large number of migrant workers were used to build Chang'an City and open a gallop road. Li Zicheng personally went to the church every three days to review the competition, the people saw Huang Longxu, all bowed to the ground and cheered long live, from this point of view, the Ming Dynasty in the northwest has a rule is indeed very unpopular, most of the lower class people are no longer forced at this time, but take the initiative to obey Li Zicheng, and even some people regard Li Zicheng as Liu Bang who entered the Guanguan that year.

Li Zicheng sent generals non-stop to pursue the remnants of the Ming army, Bai Guangen, Gao Ruli, Zuo Guangxian, Liang Fu and other generals took the lead and surrendered, Chen Yongfu because he shot Li Zicheng in Kaifeng blind in one eye, so he protected himself on the top of the mountain and did not dare to go down, Li Zicheng personally went to appease, and broke the arrow shaft as an oath, Chen Yongfu believed that he did not care about the previous suspicions. also surrendered;

Zuihou has one general soldier left, Gao Jie, even if all the people in Shijie surrender to Li Zicheng, Gao Handsome Guy resolutely does not dare to surrender Li Zicheng, the reason is that Gao Handsome Guy has cuckolded Li Zicheng and has not taken it off so far.

This matter has to start from the seventh year of Chongzhen, Gao Jie and Li Zicheng are fellow villagers, one of the first cronies and brothers to follow Li Zicheng's rebellion, and he has been Li Zicheng's pioneer for many years, and his ability is still good.

But. What really changed the trajectory of Gao Jie's life was not his ability, but his appearance - he was tall and mighty, and he was a famous handsome guy from far and near.

For a period of time, Li Zicheng transferred Gao Jie back to the base camp from the vanguard position, during which Gao Jie often contacted Xing, the wife of Li Zicheng, who was in charge of military quartermasters, because of his work.

I don't know if Li Zicheng is sexually impotent and can't satisfy Xing or Chadi. Anyway, every time he saw Gao Handsome Guy, Xing's heart couldn't help but sway, and the autumn spinach was given to Gao Handsome one after another, and Gao Handsome almost wanted to change his career to become a vegetable seller.

Under the powerful offensive of the Xing clan. After all, the handsome guy Gao couldn't hold it anymore, and carried Xing Shi to his bed on a dark and windy night.

Gao Jie knew that he was playing with fire by fornicating with the boss's wife, and one day the East Window incident would happen. He's going to die an ugly death. Frightened, Gao Jie found an opportunity and took Xing to defect to He Renlong, the Ming general who was attacking Li Zicheng.

From a dialectical point of view. Li Zicheng is likely to have physical problems, after the rebellion, he had a lot of women, but he did not give birth to a son and a half daughter.

If he just has no children, it's nothing, but even his wife ran away with others, which can't help but make people suspect that he can't do something about it. In other words, Gao Handsome not only let Li Zicheng accompany his wife and break the army, but also exposed his most important ugly cloth, Li Zicheng hated Gao Handsome Brother can be imagined.

After capturing Xi'an, Li Zicheng took Li Guo and other fierce generals to personally chase and kill Gao Jie, perhaps the handsome guy Gao should not die, he fled all the way north with the remnants of the army, and was chased by the striker Li Guo so that he didn't even have a chance to take a breath, this is the sudden drop in temperature, so Gao Jie suddenly turned to the east, and sure enough, as he expected, the Yellow River froze, and he could barely cross the river;

What's more, not long after Gao Jie crossed the river, the weather warmed up again, and when Li Guo arrived, the ice on the Yellow River was no longer enough to bear the weight of people and horses crossing the river.

Although Li Zicheng hated, he was helpless, so he went back to the rice fat grave. At the same time, Yan'an Mansion was called Tianbao Mansion, Mizhi was called Tianbao County, and Qingjian was called Tianbo Mansion.

At this time, I heard that the officials and people of Fengxiang City refused to surrender, and Li Zicheng was angry that he didn't catch up with Gao Jie, so in a fit of anger, he ordered the city to be slaughtered.

When Li Zicheng first entered Shaanxi, he said that he was his hometown and did not invade the people, but in less than a month, he looted again. Li Zicheng even thought that the scholars would definitely not belong to him, so he searched for various gentry, tortured them, demanded gold and silver, and threw the dead into the pit and buried them together.

The Ming army in Yulin was still stubbornly defending, and Li Guo and others could not attack it, so Li Zicheng sent a large army to attack. The deputy envoy was appointed, and the chief soldiers Wang Shiguo, You Shiwei and others died unyieldingly. The rebels took advantage of the victory to capture Ningxia, slaughtered Qingyang, and captured the Han king Zhu Kangzhi alive.

Later, the army moved to attack Lanzhou, and Lin Rirui, the governor of Gansu, and others were killed in battle. The rebels then captured Xining, so Suzhou, Shandan, Yongchang, Zhenfan, Zhuanglang, etc. all surrendered, and all the land of Shaanxi was occupied by Li Zicheng.

At this time, the Yellow River froze again, so Li Zicheng sent men and horses across the river, captured Pingyang, and killed more than 300 members of the clan. Gao Jie hurriedly fled again, all the way to Zezhou.

Emperor Chongzhen of Beijing ordered Governor Yu Yinggui to collect border troops to attack Shaanxi, but the whole of Shaanxi had fallen, and the assembled border troops were in vain, and Yu Yinggui did not dare to go west at all.

On the first day of the first month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644), Li Zicheng, who felt that he had been invincible in the world, founded a country in Xi'an, with the country name Dashun, changed to Yuan Yongchang, and changed his name to Zisheng. After honoring his great-grandfather, he was given a nickname and Li Jiqian as his ancestor.

Set up a scholar of the Heavenly Blessing Temple, with Niu Venus to serve. Six government books were added, and officials such as the Hongwen Museum, the Wenyu Yuan, the Counselor, the Direct Commander, the Politics, the Unification Council, the Shang Qi Division, the Horse Inspection Temple, the Governor's Envoy, and the Writing Room were set up.

With Qianzhou Song Qijiao as the official political book, Pinghu Lu Zhiqi as the household political book, Zhenning Gonghuoyu as the ceremonial political book, Gui'an Zhang Lingran as the military political book.

Restore the fifth-class lord system, the great meritorious hero, Liu Zongmin and other nine people were crowned marquis, Liu Tichun and other seventy-two people were crowned uncles, there were thirty people named sons, and fifty-five people were named men.

At the same time, a military order was also issued, and if there was a horse standing in an uneven queue, it would be beheaded. Whoever leaps into the field of crops shall cut it off. At this time, Li Zicheng's command was already claimed to have 400,000 infantry and 600,000 cavalry.

When the news reached Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen was shocked, and hurriedly summoned the ministers to discuss with him, and he said in the court: "I am not the king of the country, everything is the image of the country." The ancestors of the world of wind and rain, once lost, what face can be seen in the ground! I wish the Overseer would fight in person. There is nothing to hate when you die on the battlefield, but you don't have to turn a blind eye when you die! ”

After Chongzhen finished speaking, sorrow came from it, and the court cried loudly.

All the ministers in the Jinluan Palace who are still a little human are ashamed, of course, Chongzhen wants to drive the expedition in person, this is definitely not possible, the ministers in the palace have spoken out to dissuade, and at the same time they all looked at the ministers in front of the cabinet, Chen Yan, Jiang Dejing, Wei Zaode, and Li Jiantai.

Shoufu Chen Yan had to come out and ask the representative to lead the troops on behalf of the army, and Jiang Dejing was not left behind. also went out to make a statement and asked to go on the expedition, but Chongzhen asked how to raise military salaries, food and grass, and both of them were difficult to answer.

Li Jiantai, a scholar of Dongge University, then came out and said generously: "Bixia, the minister's family still has some savings. I am willing to pay the army with private wealth, and I don't bother the officials, please ask for the westward expedition. ”

Li Jiantai's hometown is in Quwo, Shanxi, and it is about to be occupied by the Dashun army. He was in a hurry, thinking that instead of letting the rebels come and rob the family property, it would be better to gamble generously. It can be said that this is typical speculation.

But when Chongzhen heard that Li Jiantai was willing to give his private wealth as a military salary, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately agreed to Li Jiantai's request, and he supervised the westward expedition, and gave Shang Fang a sword and allowed him to act cheaply.

Emperor Chongzhen said that he was not the king of the dead country, and this was really a gold paste on his face, not to mention anything else, this matter alone is a typical stupid thing that the king of the dead country would do.

Looking at Li Jiantai's resume, he has successively served as the country's chief priest and wine, but he has never been involved in the military. Nor has it been able to come up with any decent strategic response.

Now as soon as Li Jiantai said that he was willing to pay for the army, Chongzhen immediately bet the treasure on him, let him lead the army to the battle, and gave Shang Fang the sword to act cheaply.

What the fuck is this? Do children play at home?

can do such a ridiculous thing, and he still has the face to say that he is not the king of the dead country.

He actually regarded Li Jiantai as a life-saving straw, and sent Li Jiantai on the expedition with a grand ancient tui hub. The specific method is, on the day of the expedition, send the horse Du Wei Wan Wei to the temple with special sacrifices, ready to noon, Chongzhen royal drive Zhengyang Gate, the palace guards east and west lined up, from the Zhengyang Gate to the outside of the city, the flag fluttering, the first battle of the forest, the cabinet five government and six departments of the Imperial Procuratorate palm seal eunuchs and the Beijing camp civil and military ministers are all present, serving the emperor on both sides, Honglu Temple presides over the ceremony, the palace of the imperial history pickets the hundred officials, the scene is extremely grand.

Li Jiantai stepped forward to deliver a speech, showing his loyalty, claiming that he would live up to Chongzhen's high hopes and defeat the rebels.

Chongzhen stepped forward to consol again and again, gave the royal banquet, the imperial banquet was in the center, the civil and military officials were accompanied, the wine was seven lines, Chongzhen personally held the gold and drank the wine three times, gave it to Li Jiantai, and gave Li Jiantai a handwritten edict on the spot.

After the banquet, the eunuch with the palm print personally draped the red hairpin flower for Li Jiantai, and used drum music to guide Shang Fang's sword out, Li Jiantai was very excited, and took the sword and resigned.

Chongzhen stood on the Zhengyang Gate and watched him go away.

Chongzhen stood for a long time, because Li Jiantai was not walking fast, because Li Jiantai did not go on horseback, but sat on a comfortable shoulder, shaking three times in one step.

The soldiers who went out on the expedition all knew what kind of goods Li Jiantai was, he had never been involved in military affairs at all, could he win a battle with such a person?

The soldiers were already suspicious of Li Jiantai, zaijian he sat on his shoulder and shook it three times in one step, and he was even more unaccustomed to it, okay, he was an old man, and he was personally recruited on behalf of the emperor, so we shouldn't say anything if we sat on the shoulder, but don't you want to pursue comfort, one step and three shakes, this is very dangerous, you know?

Such worries are by no means superfluous, and before he has walked a few miles, Li Jiantai's shoulder was shaken off, and the whole person fell into a gourd.

The soldiers who went out on the expedition couldn't help but talk about it, thinking that it was a bad omen, so the morale of the army was even more dissipated.

Okay, let's change shoulders and play again, and not long after, I received news from the front that Li Jiantai's hometown Quwo had been broken by the Dashun army, and the family wealth was gone.

Whether he was really sick or fake, the army marched no more than twenty or thirty miles a day, and began to drag. When they arrived in Zhuozhou, as many as 3,000 soldiers had fled privately.

Li Jiantai no longer had the heroism when he patted his chest in front of Chongzhen when he went on the expedition, and he hesitated whether to go to Shanxi or not, and began to play a note to Chongzhen, saying that the thief army was strong, and it was not suitable for a decisive battle at this time, and asked to retreat to Beijing

Call! With such a manager, do you expect him to win battles? I have to say that Chongzhen is really discerning and talented, and the Ming Dynasty is immortal, and it is really unreasonable.
