Chapter 41 Chaos in the capital

In the Jiying Hall of the Forbidden City, Tian Jianxiu, the general manager of the Fifth Army, frowned and said to Li Zicheng: "Emperor, judging from the enemy's actions today, the Beijing camp has run out of food. This is enough to prove that the original Beijing camp is just a false air of being strong outside and doing the middle, which makes us miss the best opportunity to wipe out them."

Li Zicheng had a dark face and said nothing.

At that time, Li Zifeng wanted to take over the last enemy-occupied area in the capital.

But Hao Yaoqi ordered Hao Yaoqi to attack the city outside, but Hao Yaoqi refused in every way.

When Gu Ying was ordered to attack inside, Gu Ying and his brothers were all flinched.

The reason is that victory is in sight, and no one wants to die at the time of victory.

"We should launch an attack on them immediately, solve the cancer in the hearts of the capital in one fell swoop, clear the obstacles for you to officially ascend the throne, and ensure safety." Tian Jianxiu still advised.

Li Zicheng still hesitated about ascending the throne in Beijing.

Li Zicheng turned his head to face Niu Jinxing: "Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Niu Jinxing frowned and replied: "The real and real thing in the Beijing camp is unclear, but Wu Sangui has already put forward a banner to avenge the late emperor. If we catch the two princes and threaten Wu Sangui, this is the biggest problem. Fighting with the Beijing camp may have deteriorated the capital. Judging from the strong combat power of the people who took over the prince, once the war begins, we will suffer heavy losses."

If you want to get the two princes, you must take down the Jing camp. If you don’t take down the Jing camp, you cannot get the two princes. Such slanderous words are equivalent to not saying anything, just nonsense.

In fact, Niu Jinxing, this is not only an answer to Li Zicheng, but also not offends soldiers who do not want to fight. He is a savage.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers in the capital are all elites of our Dashun Army's millions of troops. Since it has been proven that the enemy is short of food, then we should guard against each other and never let them obtain food again. Wouldn't it be better to trap them to death?"

Regarding a trusted military advisor, Li Zicheng's thoughts were just right.

Now that I have a life of death, I have come to this day, but it does not mean that I have won. Wu Sangui's abnormal movements have put a huge pressure on Li Zicheng in his heart.

Although I am known as a million troops, I actually know that it is just a group of mobs, the real elites can fight, which is now a hundred thousand.

If the Guanning Iron Cavalry, which Ming Dynasty had accumulated with money and grain for many years, was the only real elite in the world, once it returned to Beijing, it would be counting on this number of troops to deal with it.

Now, the loss is unsuccessful.

Song Xiance has always been inconsistent with Niu Jinxing, so he immediately stood up to refute: "Since the Prime Minister is so worried, he should cut the mess quickly. How can he delay time? If the troubles are not eliminated, it will be difficult to move forward. If this enemy exists in the capital is not eliminated, they will be bombs that will break out at any time. Once Wu Sangui hits, they will respond. At that time, it will make it difficult for us to take care of the beginning and end. We should be eradicated as soon as possible to avoid future troubles."

The two of them discussed this tit-for-tat thing, which made Li Zicheng feel at a loss.

Since we cannot make a decision for the time being, let’s not talk about it for now. A small eunuch came in and started to report: “Emperor, there are still several important things in the palace. We need to make a decision. Please go to the Qianqing Palace to decide."

Li Zicheng stood up: "Why are there so many more things going on in Beijing than usual?"

After complaining, he said to Song Xiance: "You send someone to the Beijing camp and tell them what I mean. We just want to take back the prince and protect him well, and have no other intentions. As long as they hand over the prince and stay, I will grant them the marquis of Wanhu; when I go, I will open the road and never stop it."

Li Yan, who was left alone, wanted to open his mouth and say his thoughts.

As a result, Li Zicheng had already left.

With a sad sigh, Li Yan had nothing to say.

Now, he had clearly felt that Dashun now had a division and began to infight within again.

What is the difference between such a situation and the Ming Dynasty that had just been destroyed?

Li Yan felt indescribable loss when he walked out of the Forbidden City alone.

Facing the turtle-shelled Beijing camp in the capital, on the second day, except Li Yan, everyone was concerned about the emperor's ascending the throne. He should be a title and how much reward he should receive, no one would care about him anymore.

Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance and Huo Tan'er were planning Li Zicheng's throne ceremony, even more so.

The generals led by Liu Zongmin have long been confused by the prosperity of the capital and saliva flowed all over the ground.

Coupled with the soon-to-be-cut logistics supply and the rewards of the soldiers made them start robbery without caring about Li Zicheng's strict military orders.

They arrested one surrendered Ming Dynasty officials after another, tortured them and asked them to donate their funds and pay.

Moreover, the price is clearly marked, and the amount of salary assistance is "100,000 yuan in the middle hall, 70,000 yuan in the imperial court, 70,000 yuan in the imperial court, 530,000 yuan in the imperial court, 30,000 yuan in the Hanlin department, 30,000 yuan in the subordinates, and 10,000 yuan in the subordinates."

Liu Zongmin made five thousand clamping sticks, "The wood all has edges, and they are connected with nails, so they can be broken into pieces to clamp people."

The terrifying atmosphere in the city gradually became solemn and people were panicked.

"Anyone who tortured and clamped officials, who probably earned tens of thousands of yuan in their family, was more than 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and was slightly less satisfied. They would be strict and clamped, and they would be extremely cruel and would never stop until they died."

With the decision above, the lower level began to follow suit. The officials and merchants took down the big fish, so the shrimp soldiers and crab generals could only find some shrimps, so they reached out to protect the people.

There are countless people killed every day, and more than a thousand people are tortured until death.

Li Yan, who has a view of the overall situation, wrote a letter to Li Zicheng several times and met Liu Zongmin to persuade him not to completely ruin the people's hearts in the capital.

As a result, Li Zicheng scratched his head and complained: "It's not the slogan that the military advisor shouted at the beginning. The king of Welcoming the Break will not pay the food."

Li Yan was in trouble.

"Since we shout such a slogan, we cannot break our promises and do not take money from the taxes of the people. Then where can we get the throne ceremony, the salaries and rewards of officials, the soldiers' military pay, and the government's operation money? We can only get it from these officials."

Then look at Li Yan with a frustrated expression: "Don't worry, the military advisors, the people in the world hate those corrupt officials to the core. They thought they would be protected by surrendering to us. But our hands not only obtained gold and silver, but also the people's hearts. This is a good thing, so let Jie Xuan go."

And at this moment, Li Yan had no time to get involved with Liu Zongmin and others.

Because Wu Sangui had already forced Yutian to go to Beijing to serve the king.

Only when I heard the news of Chongzhen's death, I hesitated and stopped moving forward.

Guanning Iron Cavalry is the most elite military group in the Ming Dynasty. Once they fight over at all costs, these 200,000 Dashun Army will not be able to resist. At that time, everyone will not even sit on the butt and will slap their butts again and leave.

Therefore, Li Yan met Li Zicheng and led the surrender of Wu Sangui. This was a big deal.
