Beijing City.

Chongzhen's imperial guards were waiting quietly in the palace, with many civil and military officials behind him.

Wang Chengen rushed over and reported to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, here you are here!"

Chongzhen showed joy on his face and nodded slightly: "I understand."

A sound of footsteps came, and then the triumphal army led by the Duke of England appeared.

The British Duke led an army of 100,000, and of course it was impossible for them to come to the palace. He only brought a few thousand soldiers and horses, all of whom had the best military achievements.

The British Duke jumped off his horse, rushed to Chongzhen, and knelt on one knee: "My dear Zhang Shize has seen His Majesty, but fortunately he has received help from God and returned to his mission!"

Chongzhen laughed loudly, walked down from the imperial guards and helped the British Duke up: "Duke, you are really my lucky star! This time, you have saved so many Ming people for me again!"

Chongzhen was really very happy because he had learned a painful lesson.

In May of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji sent Ajige and others to lead troops into the pass, captured 179,820 people and animals, captured the general Chao Pichang alive, and returned to Shandong safely.

In March of the 12th year of Chongzhen, the Qing army crossed the canal and captured Jinan, Shandong, and captured more than 250,000 people. In April, they passed by triumphantly.

The first two times, the Qing army passed by outside Beijing in a swagger, but Chongzhen could only watch the Qing army abduct a large number of people in the Central Plains, and there was no way out.

But this time, Chongzhen finally successfully stopped the Qing army from plundering the population for the third time!

When Chongzhen thought of this, he gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Do these Jiannu really think I am not angry? As the saying goes, things are only three. From now on, with the help of the Duke of England, they can't even find any advantage from me and the Ming Dynasty!"

The British Duke also empathized with Chongzhen's words.

Watching Jiannu show off his power is a shame for every Ming Dynasty!

The British Duke calmed down and then smiled and said, "Actually it is all the credit of the prince. I just follow the prince to fight."

The British Duke is absolutely impressed by His Royal Highness’s ability!

Another person who was deeply impressed by Zhu Cilang was Li Zicheng.

Kaifeng, "temporary palace".

Li Zicheng sat on his "throne" and listened to the latest battle report with shock.

"Dorgon fled, and Duoduo fled too. All the Ming people were rescued and more than 30,000 Qing troops were wiped out?"

At this moment, Li Zicheng really began to doubt his life.

In front of Li Zicheng, Li Yan said helplessly: "I don't want to believe this matter, but now it is known to everyone in the world, Your Majesty."

Li Zicheng suddenly roared: "Impossible, this kind of battle report must be a trick. The Ming people must have deliberately exaggerated their achievements, just bragging, just bragging!"

Li Yan wanted to speak but stopped.

In fact, Li Yan wanted to say at this time that no matter how much the Ming army bragged, the Ming army did rescue the common people from the Qing army and forced Dorgon and Duoduo to retreat.

From the most extreme perspective, even if the Ming army did not kill even a Qing army, it would not prevent the Ming army from achieving a great victory this time.

Don’t forget that the two cities of Datong and Taiyuan were still under control before the war began.

So after the entire war, the Qing Dynasty was indeed the loser, and Li Zicheng was the same!

Li Zicheng took a few deep breaths, and suddenly a panic surged into his heart, saying, "You guys say, if Zhu Cixuan comes to cause trouble for me now, will I have no choice?"

A panic-like atmosphere instantly swept across all the Dashun kings and ministers present.

Li Zicheng's words put a very obvious reality in front of them, that is, the attack that the Ming army could arrive at any time!

With Dashun facing the Ming Dynasty's repeated defeats, Dashun really has no chance of winning.

Li Yan coughed and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The court's top priority now should be to resettle the people they rescued and consolidate their territory. When they finish everything, winter will come. Winter is the best time for us to rest and recuperate. As long as we survive this period, war will start again next spring, it is still unknown who will die."

As a military advisor, Li Yan is indeed very conscientious and can come up with a way to rescue Li Zicheng at this time.

Li Zicheng also had a gaze when he heard this and said, "Okay, that's a good thing! I know you must have an idea, just do it like this! By the way, the people in Shanxi must keep a close eye on it. If the Ming army goes south from Shanxi, we must report it to me as soon as possible!"

Li Yan nodded quickly, and then continued to comfort him: "Don't worry, your Majesty, Shanxi is full of mountains and ridges. Even if the imperial army wants to go south, it should be from the capital to the north Zhili Plain."

Li Zicheng said with a sneer and said, "Of course, someone else's words are going to the Northern Zhili Plain, but that boy Zhu Ciyang... When did you see Zhu Ciyang taking an ordinary road?"

Li Yan was also stunned when he heard this, and his expression suddenly became quite strange.

To be honest, after Dashun and Daming fought so many battles, Zhu Cilang seemed to have been there a few times, and basically won by surprise.

From this perspective, even if Zhu Cilang travels through the mountains and ridges of Taihang Mountain in Shanxi in winter, it seems that it is not so surprising...

Li Yan said dryly: "Your Majesty, you said that, but this way of playing... is too contrary to common sense."

Li Zicheng waved his hand very unhappily and said in a deep voice: "Doesn't common sense? Is there anything that goes against common sense more than a fifteen-year-old child who is still not dry in a row to defeat me? Well, you don't need to say more. I have decided to move to Luoyang from tomorrow!"

Why move to Luoyang? On the one hand, Luoyang is located in the basin at least, with mountains and rivers and the Yellow River protecting each other. On the other hand, it is also the most important reason, that is, Luoyang is closer to Li Zicheng's "capital" Xi'an, which makes it more convenient for Li Zicheng to run back to Xi'an after something wrong.

After all, he is from Shaanxi.

Li Yan was a little surprised and said, "Your Majesty, what should you do if you move to Luoyang, Kaifeng?"

Li Yan is his family knows his family affairs. Since the Dashun Army was defeated again and again, many people in Kaifeng have long had secretly aroused their worries.

Now Li Zicheng is still in Kaifeng, so he can keep the scene. Once Li Zicheng leaves, the scene is almost imaginable. In summary, it is just two words - ending.

Li Zicheng waved his hand impatiently and said, "I still have so much care at this time? Anyway, as long as I can take a breath, I will definitely be able to get back in the future. I will send an order to me immediately and prepare to move now!"

This time, Li Zicheng made up his mind to empty the entire Kaifeng before retreating!
Chapter completed!
