Of course, Yang Qing would not have any special favors to Chongzhen...

Although this emperor was a little sad.

But Chongzhen took great responsibility for the reason why the Ming Empire came to this point today. His tragic ending could not conceal his stubborn and incompetent nature. It is indeed not his fault that he is a mediocre person, but as a mediocre person, he cannot know himself clearly, but instead makes a fool of himself...

In particular, they are still working diligently to make a lot of tricks.

Then this is his wrong.

Whether he is Liu Chan or his carpenter brother, even if he is Li Yu or Chen Shubao, the Ming Dynasty would not have come to this day. The two of them knew that it was really not possible, so let's just follow him, but unfortunately he insisted on being a wise king. By the way, the people of the Ming Dynasty did not need him to be a wise king. He was honest and incompetent in the palace, which was a good thing for the people of the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately he didn't. In the end, with his efforts, the Ming Dynasty, whose sick body, who had just recovered a mouthful of blood, was completely exhausted.

But Yang Qing still saved him.

Because for this nation, his hanging coal mountains is the worst result.

Nothing worse.

He could still fight for at least one Southern Song Dynasty when he ran away to Nanjing. He could at least fight for a Han Dynasty change if he fell into the hands of any warlord. Even if he fell into the hands of Li Zicheng, it would be much better than him hanging Coal Mountain.

Including for himself.

Li Zicheng won't kill him.

Even if Li Zicheng was the one who was appointed as Emperor Dashun, he would at most be the king of Chongzhen.

Even if you want to kill it, you will have to die of illness for a long time.

But judging from Li Zicheng's series of performances, he may not be really going to be the Emperor Dashun. He came to force the palace rather than destroy the Ming Dynasty. Not only did he try to negotiate to be the King of the Northwest before siege, but he did not accept the persuasion of Grand Secretary Chen Yan and others before he found Chongzhen's body. So even if he really got Chongzhen, it might be more likely to use it as a puppet and complete his transformation from a thief to a powerful minister. For example, to grant him a great vassal king, just like Cao Cao suddenly enfeoffed almost one-third of the land of the Han Dynasty, and then he could assist in the government in the court. In the short term, he would continue to let Chongzhen sit on the throne and hold the emperor to command the princes. After all, this is the safest way to seize the world with many precedents.

Then use official titles to satisfy the generals of his subordinates instead of having to fight against the local tyrants.

He was helpless to beat the rich.

At this time, he was still a thief in the eyes of most of his subordinates. Among the hundreds of thousands of people, he only had a few true confidant brothers. It was nothing more than the tens of thousands of old camps, and the vast majority were actually dependent forces, even the surrendered Ming army. These people did not respect him. In the eyes of these people, he was always a thief in the eyes of those gentry who surrendered to him, such as Yan Shenggong put out the tablet of Emperor Dashun at this time. These people could not really regard him as the destiny of heaven.

Similarly, no one took the title he had given seriously.

Not long ago, there was a loyal and righteous juren who ran to stab him to death with a knife, and then continued to wipe his neck. This is the attitude of the gentry towards him.

But the authentic Ming emperor's title is different.

The reason why he cruelly defeated the local tyrants was because he had to satisfy those forces that could only be considered investors. Since the official title he gave would definitely not satisfy these people, he could only use money. Unfortunately, he only copied a pitiful amount of money in Chongzhen's warehouse. If he could not quickly get a large amount of wealth to satisfy those under his command, he would not be sure whether these people would rebel.

Li Zicheng's behavior of rising up is worthy of praise.

But he was just an ancient peasant uprisinger and could not expect him to have any clear political ideas and long-term plans.

If he doesn't beat the rich...

Even if they fight, they just searched the house in a targeted manner under the banner of Chongzhen, and everyone would be happy. Similarly, Wu Sangui and Ming troops from all over the country would pinch their noses to cooperate with him.

Does Wu Sangui want to surrender to the Qing Dynasty?

He doesn't want to.

He fought with the Qing army for so many years, and hatred was indispensable between each other. If he had a choice, he would not risk being put on the list in the future. Didn’t he and Li Yutian abandon their homes and abandon their homes and entered the army with hundreds of thousands of residents outside the pass, just because they were unwilling to surrender to the enemy? However, Li Zicheng defeated the local tyrants and left him with no other choice. This was determined by the class position. Behind him was a huge network of relationships, subordinates, relatives, and village party, all of them were watching behind him. Surrendering to Li Zicheng could only protect himself at most, and at most protect the Wu family. Surrendering to Dorgon could protect everyone behind him. What's more, he had been more familiar with the Qing army after fighting with the Qing army for so many years. His alliance with Li Zicheng may not necessarily defeat the Qing army, but he could definitely defeat Li Zicheng if he joined forces with the Qing army.

And he also has a beautiful enough flag to avenge Chongzhen.

This multiple-choice question is not difficult to do.

However, they cheated on the billions of people of this nation.

Since this time and space have arrived, Yang Qing always has to do something. Not to mention anything else, he must stop Chongzhen's suicide. As for whether he can escape, this is not important to him. If he can escape, he will run away. If he can't escape, he will give him to Li Zicheng. If he really has no choice, he will give him to Wu Sangui. As for whether Wu Sangui will transfer it to Dorgon after he gets Chongzhen...

No.

But he would use Chongzhen as a puppet and then lead Dorgon into the pass to borrow troops to suppress the enemy.

During this period, Wu Sangui, as a powerful minister, integrated the Ming army in the northern region to form a separate force, and also used Chongzhen to control the southern ministers to use their fear to obtain support. Finally, he fought against Dorgon under the support of gentry. The result was still very likely that after defeating Li Zicheng, the two sides divided the world, and at most ceded the northern land to Dorgon, and then formed the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

In short, the most important thing is that Chongzhen must not die here, this is the worst result among all the results.

However……

"Do you think long live to listen to you?"

The governor said with a smile.

This guy is also a character, his face still remains unchanged even when his knife is crossed around his neck, and he also signaled the soldiers around him not to stop Yang Qing's retreat.

"We have to give it a try."

Yang Qing said.

"What is the name of the governor?"

He continued.

"You don't even know our family? How do you, the Jinyiwei?"

The governor said in surprise.

"Uh, I'm so amnesia!"

Yang Qing said without changing his face.

"Our Wang Cheng'en, if you want to see Long Live, you have found the right person. Our family will serve Long Live."

The governor said.

"If you take this knife away, our family will not be able to escape your skills. If you accidentally cut it, it will hurt. If you want to see Long Live, our family will take you there. If you can persuade Long Live to be lucky in Nanjing, our family will be able to kowtow to you, but our family must say that you are not the first one, and none of them will succeed in front of you."

He continued.

"Planning depends on people and accomplishing things depends on heaven!"

After saying that, Yang Qing, who had already got off the city wall, jumped onto a war horse next to him, then brought Wang Chengen to another horse, and then urged the horse to lead the Daming Gate that rushed straight ahead.

As for Zhengyang Gate’s defense...

There is no hope for this. The eunuchs, Jinyiwei and the soldiers recruited hastily cannot even hold their weapons. How can we fight against the elites who followed Li Zicheng to rampage the world? It is nothing more than when the latter began to attack and directly disbanded and surrendered. In fact, before this, the defenders in the outer city were firing empty cannons, and they only installed gunpowder but not shells to fire. The city cannot be defended. It is the same as if he is not here. Besides, what can I do if I defend Zhengyang Gate? There are three city gates between the inner and outer cities! Hundreds of thousands of Shun troops were blocking outside the six city gates on the other three sides of the inner city at this time, and they will be opened one after another on this night.

Yang Qing believes that he does not have the ability to turn the tide!

Then do what you have the ability to do!

He was running wildly at the Daming Gate, which was not far away. There were not even a guard here. He rushed straight past and continued to move forward to Chengtian Gate. Looking at the extremely familiar magnificent building in front of him, he continued to cross the Jinshui Bridge with a sigh. There were several guards here, but when he saw that Wang Chengen was just caring about salutes, no one stopped him. Although in theory, the palace could not ride a horse, Wang Chengen, as Chongzhen's number one confidant, was also the highest commander of the army in the city at this time, and no one would interfere with some violations during this special period.

In fact, after the news of the breach of the outer city spread, there was no suspense about the fate of the city.

Yang Qing could even see that the Jinyiwei was already running away. At this time, no one would care about such trivial matters. Behind Chengtian Gate is the Duan Gate, there is also no guard here, followed by the Meridian Gate. At the Meridian Gate, they bumped into several officials, who didn't even look at Wang Chengen, and saw them rushing past the side like air.

Wang Chengen showed a sneer.

"Duan Gong, do you think they are going to welcome the new master into the city?"

Yang Qing said with a smile.

"Hmph, I'll be with the emperor for three hundred years and follow the thief? The thief is a thief. There are no thiefs who do not plunder. They all guard the wealth of thousands of families and want to break into the city to flatter them in order to seek wealth. Our family wants to see how they cry in the future!"

Wang Chengen sneered.

"Haha, ha, then you have to be alive first!"

Yang Qing said.

"Long live our lives. If you can persuade Nan Xing, we will live to see it. If you fail, we will go downstairs to see it!"

Wang Chengen said.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Qing urged his horse to rush straight into the Meridian Gate again.

At this time, the palace was not too chaotic. After all, the Shun Army only broke through the outer city, and Beijing's core defense was actually the inner city. There were even two additional roads between this place and the inner city, to be precise, three walls. Before the palace maids and eunuchs began to escape, they soon arrived at the Qianqing Gate.

"Duke, long live looking for you!"

They met a eunuch in front of the Qianqing Gate, who said respectfully.

"knew!"

Wang Chengen nodded.

"If you believe in our family, then wait here. Our family wants to go to Nanjing more than you. If you break in like this, it will only be a bad thing. Our family will find a way to persuade Long Live to summon him. It depends on your ability at that time!"

Wang Chengen whispered to Yang Qing.

"You'd better hurry up, the inner city won't last until dawn."
