Li Zicheng has not paid attention to the defense of the capital at all, after all, according to intelligence, in addition to the lack of troops in the capital, and more importantly, there is no salary, according to the intelligence, the treasury of the capital plus Chongzhen's inner treasury is probably only hundreds of thousands of taels of silver at most!

What can you do with this money? If there are a few million taels, Li Zicheng may have to worry for a while, these hundreds of thousands of taels, there will be no more flowers, Chongzhen is stingy, this money is better than nothing!

In his opinion, this capital is simply no soldiers and no pay, and it is an empty city at all, so he naturally doesn't pay attention to it, and puts the elite soldiers on the reinforcements that may come, and this capital first tries to see if it can be deceived!

In addition to shouting the surrender of the city, the four major generals of the Ming army who surrendered also brought hundreds of families each, after all, their subordinates were collected, and this Ding can't be collected!

That's just sending these four generals to death! Of course, some elite soldiers selected from the old battalion were also sent, but there were not many, and there was a sense of surveillance and defense.

First, they put a burst of firecrackers on it, wanting to scare the defenders of the city first, so they waited and waited to open the city gate, and immediately occupied it, their city was so lost, this Beijing camp is not that everyone has not been there, everyone is half a pound and eight taels, they are just afraid that this has not started to shout, and they will be killed by the cannon in the city, then it will be wronged!

As long as you give a chance to shout out, then this time it should be no problem, after all, everyone is the same!

"Brothers in the city, we are also the original Beijing camp soldiers! Now I voted for Emperor Dashun, I eat and drink spicy food every day, and I am not in arrears! Don't die for the Zhu family, come and work with us! ”

"Brothers in the city, Emperor Dashun has millions of heavenly soldiers, and the Jingshi can't hold it, you still open the city gate to meet the king, and you can be a hero from the dragon......"

Shouting the city is now beginning, first did not talk about the specific conditions, but first threatened, envy and power, in fact, there is no need to threaten, after all, millions of troops are coming to the city, you still don't surrender and wait for death?

Generally speaking, according to their own experience, it is estimated that if they shout a few voices casually, the defenders on the city gate will respond, and then it is time to talk about the conditions, Li Zicheng is also very generous, and brought two boxes of silver with white flowers, and brought them over, waiting for them to be distributed!

The previous cities were beaten (bought) down in this way, Li Zicheng has fought so many cities, and now he is not short of money, because the Dashun army still does not pay the salary at this time, and even the officials' Yulu does not have a charter at this time!

Not the development of things, but it is greatly beyond the expectations of these surrendering troops, according to the prediction, this threat and two large boxes of silver swing, then presumably someone will start to heat up!

The city gate was not opened as expected, because the city gate had been completely blocked by Yang Yiming's craftsmen, not even the city gate of the outer city, even the nine gates of the inner city, two or three of them were blocked, and the rest were ready to be blocked at any time.

So at this time, there are people in the city who want to sacrifice the city, in fact, it is also beyond their strength, Yang Yi should have made all the preparations, the internal trouble has basically been eliminated, the only city gate in the capital that has not been blocked, is also ready to prepare a jack gate, the city gate is located in the east, and it is also the only way in the city to attack!

At this time, Yang Yi also arrived, after all, today is crucial, Li Zicheng is definitely going to attack the city, if the tricks are not good, he will definitely be hard, he also crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, really speaking, the ability to fight is not inferior to the average general.

Although there is no famous general, but his opponent is not as good as him, the military generals of the Ming Dynasty have been tossed several times, plus in the past 100 years, they have been pressed to death by civilian officials, and now they are not to mention famous generals, even a brave general is difficult to find!

Therefore, Yang Yi must come, to watch, so that these soldiers of the Beijing camp who defend the city are frightened or bewitched!

Therefore, as soon as the Beijing battalion soldiers who surrendered to Dashun under the city finished shouting, the response from the city came, and they were also persuading them to surrender.

"Brothers under the city, you have come early! Now the court has money! The civil officials and nobles in the capital are donating money, and we are now paid one or two silver a day! It's cash and money! ”

What the?

One tael of silver a day, or cash silver?

How is this possible!?

The surrendered troops who shouted the city were all moved, and followed the Dashun army to say that they were fragrant and spicy, but they had no money!

The money was also taken away by a few generals above, they had no money, at this time they all looked at the back, several generals looked at each other from a distance, and then looked at their supervisor Du Zhizhi very tacitly, Du Gonggong's head shook like a wave drum at this time, "Impossible, impossible, even if the household department is rich, that everyone still doesn't know?" I don't want to give it! ”

That's right, who doesn't know Chongzhen? Emperor Chongzhen picks ah! How is it possible to give so much?

At this time, the city was shouting again: "Brothers under the city, it's still too late for you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light!" As I said above, as long as you defect, you will not be guilty of the past, and one person will be rewarded with five taels of silver, and give cash to him! Come and get the money! ”

Five taels! Dare to shout out! Is this really rich?

Tang Tong, Wang Chengyun, Chen Yongfu, Bai Guangen, and even Du Zhizhi were all surprised, and their mouths opened wide.

Before the five of them could react, some of the "loud soldiers" shouting under the city began to question.

"Who believes this kind of thing!"

"Even if the imperial court has money, it won't give us these soldiers!"

"Even if you have money, it's useless, Dashun's millions of soldiers have arrived, this capital can't be defended, and it's useless to ask for money!"

Immediately, someone in the city replied loudly: "It is useful, how can money be useless?" Let me tell you, these are the few things we get, and the big ones will be given to others! ”

"To whom?"

"Dongnu, red-haired, Mongol! The court borrowed troops from them! Out of six million taels, one hundred taels per person, bought 60,000 people, and the Guanning army will come together, and the Mongols and Dongnu will soon arrive in Beijing! As soon as these soldiers who are waiting for the money arrive, you are finished. ”

"Really? Don't talk nonsense! ”

"How can this kind of thing be fake? Can this be nonsense? If not, why don't we surrender? ”

Also, why don't you surrender, isn't it just that you can take the money and have your life to spend it, no one is stupid, if you can't spend the money, isn't it death?

Tang Tong, Wang Chengyun, Chen Yongfu, Bai Guangen, and the prison army Du Gonggong were all a little panicked at this time, this, did they surrender early? It seems that the ship of the Ming Dynasty can still be maintained!

How is this good, who doesn't know who, these people are so stubborn, they won a few days ago, and they won yesterday, look at it like this, they are really rich!

"Du, is it possible that this thing is true?" Tang Tong was a little nervous, first of all, he didn't care about his safety, turned around and went to Du Zhizhi's side, and hurriedly asked.

This is a very dangerous action, after all, their identity, if they get too close, it will cause taboos, but at this time, they can't take care of it!

After all, if it's true, then you have to prepare in advance, if you wait for those Mongols, Dongnu and red-haired fans to come, it will be really bad!

"Yes, my father-in-law is the person next to the son of the Zhu family, so I know better than us, right?"

The other three people didn't care about the impact at this time, and they all rushed over and began to discuss countermeasures!

"Du's father-in-law, is this deceiving us?"

"Yes, Gonggong Du, you know the details of this capital best......

Wang Chengyun, Chen Yongfu, Bai Guangen and the others also followed up and asked, if this is true, they certainly regret it, but they also have to make plans early, they don't want to die in the chaos!

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can't fight, but the Dongnu people and the Mongols are very capable of fighting, and there are also red hairs, and they are afraid when they look at it, if there are tens of thousands of people, they really can't beat this capital!

Not only can't it be defeated, this Dashun seems to be an army of more than 200,000, but there is not even half of it that can really be beaten, maybe only one-third!

"This, this ......" Du Zhizhi shook his head, "It stands to reason that ...... It's not impossible! ”

"It must be so!" Tang Tong slapped his face, "Otherwise, why doesn't this dog emperor run away?" At the beginning of the year, weren't you still talking about staying in the capital? In March, it was silent, this must have been the money to invite reinforcements, and the money will not be given to us, otherwise we will not be able to surrender! ”

"It must be like this!" Wang Chengyun was also afraid, he, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, did not fight with the Mongols and Dongnu people, he knew how powerful those people were, and they couldn't beat them!

If he knew that the consequence of surrendering Li Zicheng would be to fight those people, he would definitely stick to the end in Xuanfu.

Bai Guangen also gasped at this time: "If this is the case, this Jingshi is really not easy to take!" ”

He was the calmest of the few, and he snorted: "It's just tens of thousands of reinforcements, we can't be afraid, the sky will fall and there will be a high top, go and report to King Chuang first, I believe King Chuang has his own way to deal with it." ”

……

A few people were talking here, and some people looked at them and secretly wrote it down, but at this time, they didn't care, after all, Li Zicheng's ship might also be broken, and they had to find the ship again!

"What? The Son of the Zhu family spent six million to borrow troops? Dongnu, Mongolia, Hongmaofan? Is there such a thing? ”

In the temporary palace, Li Zicheng was also frightened, listening to the reports of Tang Tong, Wang Chengyun, Bai Guangen, Chen Yongfu and Du Zhizhi and others at this time, as well as Prime Minister Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, the division of the army, and Gu Junen, the division of the second army, who heard the news, and listened to them report the information they had obtained from the Ming army.

Originally, according to expectations, I thought that the reinforcements would be the 30,000 or 40,000 Guanning troops that might come, but these 30,000 or 40,000 Guanning troops were in great trouble, although even if it was a field battle, Li Zicheng was confident that he would win.

After all, he now has fifty or sixty thousand old battalion soldiers on hand, which is enough to defeat the Guan Ning army, in fact, he is not wrong, even in the later stone battle, the situation is almost the same.

If there were no Manchurian soldiers and Dongnu people suddenly killed, the Guanning army was really not worried, and the Guanning army at this time was really unable to fight.

But now that there are suddenly fifty or sixty thousand more reinforcements of all kinds, six million taels of silver, can you buy sixty thousand reinforcements? It should be possible! If this is true, it is still quite a headache.

"Didn't you call people blind?" Li Zicheng looked at Tang Tong, Wang Chengyun, Bai Guangen and Du Zhizhi in front of him, frowned and asked again.

"Your Majesty, how can I believe in this!" Du Zhizhi knew the situation in the capital best, so it was up to him to go back and forth, "Zhu Thief is now dying!" What else can't be done? As the saying goes, a rabbit bites when it's in a hurry, and a dog jumps off the wall when it's in a hurry, let alone an emperor? ”

Thinking about the last emperors in history, who have never used any tricks, can bend and stretch, he feels that if Chongzhen is cornered, he can do it by spending money to buy soldiers, after all, he is a eunuch who has no sense of honor and disgrace, otherwise he would not have surrendered with Chongzhen's great expectations, in his heart, even if he cuts the land, pays compensation or even makes peace, it is better than losing the throne of the country!

Anyway, if he is the emperor, let alone cutting the land, paying compensation, and making peace, even if he is an emperor, he is also willing!

"What do you think?" Li Zicheng asked his prime minister military advisor again.

Niu Jinxing motioned to Song Xiance and said that he didn't like to take the lead, but Song Xiance was thinking about what to say, and at this time, Gu Junen was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, this is likely to be true!" ”

"Tell me!"

"Your Majesty, if you and the Emperor of the Zhu family were to exchange, would you be willing to borrow troops?"

Li Zicheng said without thinking about it: "We must borrow it!" If you don't borrow, you're dead! ”

Gu Junen nodded, "Since that's the case, it's better to believe it." ”

Song Xiance had already thought about it, and said to Li Zicheng: "Your Majesty, our Dashun country does have Manchuria to pass, such as today's royal spirit, not in Guanzhong in Liaodong, although Your Majesty has taken the lead, but Liaodong should not be underestimated, if our first hand cannot be occupied, I am afraid that the good situation will be in vain!"

This Manchurian is also a wolf's ambition, what if this comes and directly seizes the capital? So we can't go either! ”

Niu Jinxing motioned to Song Xiance and said that he didn't like to take the lead, but Song Xiance was thinking about what to say, and at this time, Gu Junen was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, this is likely to be true!" ”

"Tell me!"

"Your Majesty, if you and the Emperor of the Zhu family were to exchange, would you be willing to borrow troops?"

Li Zicheng said without thinking about it: "We must borrow it!" If you don't borrow, you're dead! ”

Gu Junen nodded, "Since that's the case, it's better to believe it." ”

Song Xiance had already thought about it, and said to Li Zicheng: "Your Majesty, our Dashun country does have Manchuria to pass, such as today's royal spirit, not in Guanzhong in Liaodong, although Your Majesty has taken the lead, but Liaodong should not be underestimated, if our first hand cannot be occupied, I am afraid that the good situation will be in vain!"

This Manchurian is also a wolf's ambition, what if this comes and directly seizes the capital? So we can't go either! ”
