It is because of the many disadvantages of the mecha-rope, which made the Ming Dynasty unable to turn the world back. If there were magical weapons such as the flintlock spear, how could it be that a mere bandit? What was the fear of the Qing Dynasty?

Because flintlock guns can fire normally in most environments, they are much better than the reliability and loading speed of the flintlock gun, and their combat efficiency is greatly improved. To be unfair, once the Ming Dynasty can start mass production of flintlock guns, it means that they will stand on the top of the world soon in the future.

Sun Kewang was defeated, and it was not surprising that he lost. All of this was long under Zhu Cilang's expectations.

When the news of the defeat reached Jianmen Pass, Li Dingguo was stunned.

Although Li Dingguo was incompatible with Sun Kewang, Sun Kewang's defeat caused Zhang Xianzhong's vitality to be severely damaged. At this point, Zhang Xianzhong was completely powerless to fight against the officers and soldiers. Destruction was only a matter of time sooner or later.

"Report to General Li, General Sun's 80,000 troops were injured by the firearms of officers and soldiers in Dongshan Village. There were only less than 200 people who fled back."

"What!" Li Dingguo looked at the subordinate in horror, and he could not believe his ears.

Eighty thousand soldiers, even eighty thousand pigs, could not catch them all at once. There were less than two hundred people who could escape back.

You must know that these 80,000 soldiers were elite soldiers trained by Zhang Xianzhong. They were just to make a big splash and wanted to completely defeat the officers and soldiers, so that the Ming army would not dare to spy on Sichuan anymore.

Zhang Xianzhong also knew that it would be impossible to destroy the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time. He hoped to defeat the 12th Regiment Battalion, occupy Sichuan, and become the emperor of Sichuan himself.

Just like the Dali Kingdom in the Northern Song Dynasty, the court was allowed to recognize its status. Founding a country and becoming an emperor was Zhang Xianzhong's dream.

However, Sun Kewang destroyed all his elites in one battle. Zhang Xianzhong, who had always believed that military strength was more expensive than energy, fainted after hearing this.

Zhang Xianzhong fell seriously ill and his health was getting worse. Ming Jun was so terrible. He now understood why the crown prince was so brave that he dared to break into Jianmen Pass alone.

There are only two ways in front of Zhang Xianzhong. First, kill Zhu Cilang to sacrifice to heaven. If you exclaim this anger for yourself, the consequence is that the officers and soldiers will break Zhang Xianzhong into Sichuan, and the officers and soldiers will break Zhang Xianzhong into pieces and avenge the prince.

The second way is to accept the recruitment of the Ming army. Zhang Xianzhong surrendered to the Ming court and lived his old age in a storm.

Because at this time, Zhang Xianzhong no longer had the capital to negotiate with the officers and soldiers. Even if he was surrendered, his life would not be better. After all, he once dug Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral tomb.

If it is settled in the future, even if Chongzhen doesn't do anything to himself in front of the world, it is not impossible to secretly give him a glass of poisoned wine and a white silk behind his back.

Like Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong is also a hero of a generation. He refused to agree to make him surrender.

Zhang Xianzhong, on the sickbed, kept coughing, and the maids around him served him. Beside the bed, there were all the generals under his command.

Zhang Xianzhong coughed and said, "Chuan, Chuan Order's order, cough cough, let Dingguo kill, kill the prince, kill the prince!"

Zhang Xianzhong would not surrender, and heroes had their own home. He could not make him surrender under the court.

Just like Li Zicheng before, after his defeat in Zaopo, he would rather continue to cause trouble than go up the mountain to become a monk. How could he be willing to surrender to others?

The generals held their own opinions, some supported and some opposed them. Those who supported them felt that killing the prince to avenge their brothers. At worst, they could fight to the death and fight with the officers and soldiers. Eighteen years later, they would be a hero again.

Opponents think that this move will cause a catastrophe. If the prince is killed, the officers and soldiers will retaliate wildly. At that time, everyone will be finished.

Zhang Xianzhong was stubborn and insisted that Li Dingguo kill Zhu Cilang. There was no way, so the military order had to be passed to Jianmen Pass.

Those who opposed it went to find Prime Minister Wang Zhaoling. Wang Zhaolin is a vicious guy, but this time he turned to Zhu Cixuan's side.

"Prime Minister Wang, you must not, and you must not let the king's military order be passed to Li Dingguo. If the prince is killed, how could the officers and soldiers let you go?"

"Yes, Prime Minister, to put it bluntly, the king is afraid that there will be no more time. He will be over. If the officers and soldiers come over, how can you and me live in order to avenge the prince?"

"Yes, only the Prime Minister can help with this matter. Prime Minister, you must not let the king kill the prince."

These people are all treacherous ministers around Zhang Xianzhong, and they are like Wang Zhaolin. These people have no other skills, and they are easy to frame their brothers.

However, treacherous ministers also have the advantage of treacherous ministers, that is, in order to save their lives, they now decided to rescue Zhu Cixuan.

Because they were afraid that Zhu Cilang would be killed by Li Dingguo. After the officers and soldiers came, they would all be executed by lingchi.

On the other hand, if he helps Zhu Cilang and saves the prince's life, even if Zhang Xianzhong is defeated in the future, he will probably save his life because of the credit for saving the prince. Maybe he will be promoted and promoted.

Wang Zhaolin naturally knew this truth, and he couldn't help but feel restless: "Yes, yes, yes, you must not kill the prince, the prince cannot be killed."

"Then, then Prime Minister, you're thinking of a solution."

"Yes, the king seems to have no time left, so everything depends on you, the Prime Minister."

The subordinates were talking, and Wang Zhaolin fell into deep thought: "Wait, wait, let me think about it, let me think about it carefully, how to save the prince's life without letting the king punish him. Now, let's go find the queen."

Zhang Xianzhong was shot to death by the Qing army while fighting against the Qing army. After Zhang Xianzhong's death, his wife and confidant Prime Minister Wang Zhaoling were still above Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates as usual. In fact, several generals of Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and others were very capable, while Zhang Xianzhong's queen and Wang Zhaoling were both ignorant people. They usually rely on Zhang Xianzhong's power to act as a blessing. At this time, Zhang Xianzhong was dead. They still acted the same way, which would naturally cause dissatisfaction among the people below.

Empress Zhang Xianzhong and Prime Minister Wang Zhaoling advocated continuing Zhang Xianzhong's extreme policies during his lifetime, treating the people harshly, and even killing the people wantonly. Li Dingguo and others wanted to correct this wrong policy, but the queen and the prime minister were the biggest stumbling block. In order to clear the obstacles, Zhang Xianzhong's four adopted sons discussed and unanimously decided to execute the queen and Prime Minister Wang Zhaoling, and then the four of them jointly led the remaining troops of Zhang Xianzhong.

This queen and Wang Zhaolin are birds of a feather.
