At noon on March 19, a large number of Shun Army soldiers were alerted inside and outside Deshengmen in the capital.

After kneeling on the cordon, the people in the north of the city met the King of Rebellion who had stirred up the world for the first time, Li Zicheng, the lord of the Dashun Kingdom.

As King Dashun, Li Zicheng still had a blanket and a white coat. He was wearing a simple dress, but his left eye, whose face was blinded by arrows, made his face look a little ferocious.

He rode a black horse, accompanied by General Quan Liu Zongmin and Tianyou Hall Grand Secretary Niu Jinxing, guarding him with hundreds of elite cavalry, slowly passed the city gate hole under the Desheng Gate Tower and entered the capital that he had been thinking about day and night.

Since Xi'an vowed to the Eastern Expedition, he has almost never fought a serious battle. The main task along the way seems to be to accept the surrender of the Ming army. Datong, Xuanfu, Juyong, Changping, Baoding, Jizhen, and the Ming army in the north are rushing to open the city gates and welcome his arrival.

He brought out more than 60,000 main forces from Shaanxi, and more than 10,000 Liu Fangliang advanced from Henan, and only 80,000 were the most successful. However, the Ming army surrendered had more than 200,000. Even this world-class capital, which was thought to be indestructible, was declared to be broken after only one day.

It was all fake, Li Zicheng thought, and with a light poke with a finger, it all dispersed with a thud.

As I walked, I thought, and before I knew it, I had bypassed the imperial city and arrived before the Daming Gate.

The Daming Gate is the south gate of the Forbidden City. Du Zhizhi, who had already knelt here, saw Li Zicheng, quickly kowtowed and bowed, and then led several eunuchs to the front, passed Chengtian Gate, entered the Forbidden City, and came to the front of the Emperor's Hall.

"The Emperor's Imperial Gate is here." Du Zhizhi bowed and said carefully.

Although the hall was majestic, Li Zicheng looked at the flattering eunuch in front of him and felt extremely disgusted. He didn't understand why Niu Jinxing wanted to find him to lead the way.

"When Chongzhen was here to follow the government and sent you to Juyongguan to supervise the army, he probably wouldn't have thought you would be sold."

At this time, who would have thought that Li Zicheng suddenly mentioned this? This sudden sentence scared Du Zhizhi to the ground.

He was sent to Juyongguan to supervise the army as one of the eunuchs that Chongzhen trusted the most. However, when General Tang Tong came out of the pass to fight the Shun Army, he suddenly turned on and surrendered, causing Tang Tong to be attacked from both sides. He had no choice but to surrender with eight thousand elite soldiers.

"The people around you are most hated by the Lord and seeking honor, and keeping them is a disaster." Li Zicheng glanced at him with one eye, "Even if Chongzhen is a fool, he treats you well, so why do you betray him?"

Du Zhizhi knew that Li Zicheng had a crush on killing, and as long as he answered a wrong word, he would be dragged out by Li Zicheng's guards and chopped them out.

He put his heart on his back and knelt to the ground.

"I dare not take the Lord's name, but only know the destiny of heaven."

In this place, everyone knows what the destiny belongs to.

Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, and his tense face relaxed unknowingly - even this eunuch knew that the world was settled!

The only remaining combat power in the Ming court was only 40,000 to 50,000 people from Wu Sangui at Shanhaiguan, and they were already at the end of their lives. There was no need to worry about it, so a piece of letters could bring surrender.

The world is so big, who can fight?

With this in mind, Du Zhizhi was let go, and he ignored him and glanced at the empty palace.

"Have Chongzhen and the Queen not found it yet? Don't let him escape."

"The prince has been found, and it was presented by Zhu Chunchen, Duke Chengguo." Niu Jinxing said, "As for the emperor and empress..."

He said that he stopped here and used his eyes to indicate Du Zhizhi.

"When I return to King Dashun, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace had already fled after night," Du Zhizhi said boldly, "It is absolutely impossible to escape by the emperor and the empress."

"Well," Li Zicheng nodded and said to Niu Jinxing, "Send a notice to clarify that those who dare to hide the emperor and the latter will be punished with great power! If the emperor and the latter are given a reward of ten thousand gold!"

"Yes." Niu Jinxing agreed first, and then said as if he remembered something: "When it comes to notice..."

He reached out and took a poster written on yellow paper from a beloved beside him and presented it to Li Zicheng.

"This thing, from the Ganqing Palace to the Donghua Gate, from the Ten Princes Mansion to the Chaoyang Gate Street." Niu Jinxing shook his head and said, "It's only half a day, it's said that it has been circulated privately in the capital, which is a bit weird."

Li Zicheng took it and looked at the crooked and broken words on the poster, and he felt funny.

After looking at the content of the poster carefully, I gradually frowned and couldn't laugh.

"Yuanxi Pirates"

I will listen carefully and clearly

The Eight Banners of Jianzhou have already formed a large army,

Wearing a armor of 100,000, traveling day and night,

To the east, to the sea, to the west, to Jicheng,

The wolf's ambition is to seize the imperial capital,

First kill Zongmin, then kill himself.

Sangui is confused and can't understand his intentions.

If you do it yourself, don’t become a laughing stock.

"It's indeed a bit weird." Li Zicheng waved away the people around him, handed the post to Liu Zongmin, and began to ponder.

He is a real hero, with five ups and downs, and is definitely not a person who forgets the truth. Although he doesn't know who wrote the post, the meanings in the post are very straightforward and can be understood at a glance.

First, it seems that the Manchus have already become the entire clan and are about to die.

Second, it means that you can go to Shanhaiguan in the east, and you can take a detour to Mongolia in the west, and cross Jixian in the pass.

Third, it means that the visitors are not good. This time, they are not going to grab something and leave, but to seize the capital.

Fourth, it means that Wu Sangui is unreliable and needs to prepare early.

In this post, although Dashun was called a Western thief or a thief, he actually did not scold him. Instead, he reminded them throughout the post to be careful of the Later Jin and Wu Sangui.

"It's indeed a bit weird." After Liu Zongmin finished reading it, he looked up and looked at Li Zicheng.

Manchu Tatars really dare to enter the pass to compete with Dashun for the world?

"After I originally planned to enter the capital, I would fly to Wu Sangui, and give him two marquises, and order him to descend quickly. If he refused, General Liu would take the old camp's troops to Shanhaiguan. Together with Tang Tong's eight thousand elite soldiers, it would be enough to deal with his Guanning army." Li Zicheng frowned, "But if the Manchus came to get into a slap, they would really be a bit tricky if they could fight the Eight Banners."

"There must not be a hundred thousand people." Niu Jinxing said with confidence, "The Eight Banners can produce 30,000 people, and the Eight Banners of Han can produce 20,000 people. At most, 10,000 people from Chahar Mongolia can be calculated, which is only 50,000 or 60,000 people."

"Fifty or sixty thousand is not bad, and the braided soldiers can still fight." Li Zicheng pondered, "This time he entered Beijing, the old camp led by General Liu and Fangliang's left camp were only 70,000, plus the newly surrendered border soldiers from Xuanda and Juyongguan, there were only more than 100,000, and they could not be fully launched. After all, the capital also needs to leave troops to defend."

"I think it's no big deal for the braided soldiers. In recent years, Wu Sangui can fight with them in western Liaoning for a long time." Liu Zongmin said indifferently, "If they really dare to enter the pass and let the surrendered soldiers guard the capital, I will go with Fangliang. The 60,000 old battalions will be enough to deal with them."

"If you don't succeed, be careful. Although you are not afraid of them, you can't be too careless." Li Zicheng thought for a while and said decisively, "In addition, the border troops surrender and the people's hearts are not settled, so they are not enough to rely on."

"That king means..." Niu Jinxing asked.

"Immediately fly a letter and order Liu Rukui of Zhangde, Ma Chongxi of Zhending, and Zhang Tianlin of Datong to bring 5,000 troops from the headquarters to gather in the capital, and order Yuan Zongdi to lead the 20,000 people from the Right Camp not to go south for the time being, let Zuo Liangyu go first, and return to the capital immediately."

"Okay, this is a perfect move, be prepared for any trouble."

Niu Jinxing first praised Li Zicheng and couldn't help but pick up the poster to read it.
Chapter completed!
