Li Zicheng's troops entered Henan, and the army of 300,000 to 400,000 bandits were burned, killed and plundered. Luoshan County was just a small county town, and Hongniang had only a few thousand subordinates. In other words, facing the bandits of Li Zicheng, who was as powerful as locusts, Hongniang was not a heavyweight at all.

What awaits them in Luoshan County will be an unprecedented fierce battle. What is bad is that there is no chance of victory. Regardless of combat effectiveness, no matter whether the guard or the siege, when 300,000 or 400,000 people cannot conquer a small Luoshan County, Li Zicheng can only hit the wall.

Therefore, Luoshan County is doomed this time, and the worst thing is that there are no troops available in Henan.

As Li Zicheng expected, droughts, plagues, and locust plagues in various places caused wars to spread everywhere in the Central Plains. Bandits were rising everywhere, and bandits sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. In addition, natural disasters, the court could not have the ability to collect them.

Zhu Cixuan had to have at least three to five months to prepare. At that time, the entire Central Plains had already been filled with war.

There was no choice but Zhu Cilang could only endure it. He was raising military funds and raising food and grass. The problem of military funds was easy to solve. At worst, he could move out his own family. There was no way out, and life was too long.

The silver saved by Fan Yongdou and the other eight imperial merchants were searched. There were more than 6 million taels of gold in the warehouse of the Hu Ben Army camp. The war seemed to be enough. In addition, it was just waiting for the food and grass raised by Liu Laifu.

In addition, Zhu Cilang also had to find his father to fight hard.

Emperor Chongzhen opposed sending troops, and there was no way. At this time, the time was not ripe and the court had no ability. If he sent troops rashly, he would only fill his own elites. For example, Lu Xiangsheng and others.

In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen was also paying attention to the disasters in various places and the situation of bandits. According to the memorials, the situation in various places was extremely bad.

After all, it is now the 15th year of Chongzhen, the countdown to the last countdown of the Ming Dynasty's demise. This year, the entire Central Plains was in chaos.

Since the first year of Chongzhen, drought, locust plagues and floods have raged the entire Central Plains. In the vast north of the Ming Dynasty, shriveled corpses, swarms of locusts, the thick white bones on the roadside, and the vicious sun, all the words seem to be unable to describe the miserable scene and the chaos of order built on morality.

"Zhucheng County Chronicles": Now that living people are killed, they are eaten by father and son... artificially.

"The Secret of Life Spirits in the Central Plains": There are no green grass in the wild, nine out of ten rooms are empty... Yellow leaves and red land, people are broken in the countryside, white bones and green phosphorus, and ghosts are often cried every night. There is the sound of wind and cranes when touching the ears, and the eyes are full of miserable colors...

Faced with this situation, Emperor Chongzhen faced the She'an rebellion in the southwest, the troubles of Huangtaiji and the Later Jin in Liaodong, and the million-dollar military pay from Yuan Chonghuan. The Donglin Party called it abolishing commercial tax with the people and Wei Zhongxian's "authoritarian power".

Emperor Chongzhen has been picking up this mess for fifteen years. According to the historical trend, he will have to hang himself in the southeast branch for more than a year.

Fortunately, Zhu Cixuan's appearance delayed the fact that the Ming Dynasty fell. But it was only delayed. No one knew how to make a comeback and whether it could make a comeback and turn the tables.

Zhang Xianzhong could not enter Huguang and had friction with Li Zicheng, so he used the way to fight in Nanzhili. Zhang Xianzhong first conquered Shucheng. There was no county magistrate in Shucheng, and the general Kong Tingxun and editor Hu Shouheng led the people to defend together. Later, Tingxun surrendered, so he taught the enemy to use the city to capture the city, and the city was penetrated several places, and the people were supervised to repurchase it. Zhang Xianzhong shot his calligraphy and ordered him to surrender, and Guan Heng burned his calligraphy on the city.

After Zhang Xianzhong conquered Shucheng, he went from Lu'an to Luzhou. The prefect Zheng Luxiang and the magistrate Zhao Xingji were in charge. Zheng Yuanshou and others were in charge of the guards. At that time, he taught the censor Xu Zhiyuan to Luzhou to test the scholars. Zhang Xianzhong sent people to pretend to be Confucian scholars and brought the Confucian scholars to enter. He set fire in the middle of the night, and the city was in chaos and the city was destroyed.

In the southern Zhili, Zhang Xianzhong caused rebellion, and in the Huguang, Li Zicheng went north to Henan. Bandits from other places surged out like mushrooms after a rain. The entire Ming Dynasty can be said to be full of war.

Emperor Chongzhen was in the Ganqing Palace, looking at the memorials from all over the place. The more he read, the more he became, the more he became the more he felt. In the end, he began to cry loudly.

What happened to the Ming Dynasty? What happened to me? Emperor Chongzhen couldn't understand why, why, what was all this? What exactly did he do to change the situation in front of him.

What did I do wrong? Why did God treat the Ming Dynasty like this? If God is angry and punish me, Zhu Youjian, just let me suffer the consequences.

When Zhu Cilang came outside the Ganqing Palace, he could clearly hear the crying of Emperor Chongzhen in the Ganqing Palace. Chongzhen cried so hard that this emperor was really hard. Zhu Cilang had a deep understanding, so why wasn't he himself the same?

"Your Highness, you'd better come back later. Long live, Long live, it's not convenient to meet you." Wang Chengen, who was outside the hall, whispered.

Emperor Chongzhen also led Wang Chengen out and cried alone in the Ganqing Palace. Wang Chengen outside the hall could not help but wipe his tears with his sleeves. No one knew better than Wang Chengen, the difficulties of Emperor Chongzhen were.

When Zhu Cilang heard Chongzhen's crying, his heart was cut off. Yes, why did God treat us like this? The people in the entire Central Plains are innocent, why did the innocent people suffer from the tragic scene like hell on earth?

"Father, my son Zhu Cilang is asking for a meeting!" Zhu Cilang shouted loudly outside the hall.

This shout scared Wang Chengen's soul to the sky. Suddenly, Chongzhen's crying in the Ganqing palace became much smaller. However, Emperor Chongzhen could still be heard crying with great force.

After half a meal, the sound inside returned to silence. About a cup of tea, Emperor Chongzhen's old and hoarse voice came from it: "Come in."

When Zhu Cilang entered the Ganqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen had recovered as usual. You can't see any sign of his collapse. The majesty and momentum of Chongzhen in front of him are still there.

"Father." Zhu Cilang bowed.

Emperor Chongzhen said "Yes": "Son of the Emperor, why are you here to find me?"

"Three major camps, my sons want to select 100,000 elite soldiers and train day and night. After three to five months, we will go to fight against the enemy."

It was Pingkou again, Emperor Chongzhen frowned: "Son, I understand your mood. The main place in the capital is indispensable for defense. Let's discuss this matter later."

Emperor Chongzhen still thought his son was fantasizing, but Zhu Cilang said: "Father, the son's minister was guilty of death and had privately hidden six million taels of silver. This money can support the battle to combat the enemy."

Emperor Chongzhen was so shocked that he stood up suddenly from the dragon throne. He looked at Zhu Cixuan in horror: "What did you say!"
