Taking advantage of the moment when Li Zicheng attacked and opened the brigade, the revolutionary army also took down Chuzhou and Hezhou, and since then opened up a channel to enter Luzhou and go south to Nanjing. However, Li Xin did not have the desire to further expand for the time being, but instead trained troops to consolidate internal affairs, with a total force of 50,000.

On this day, several letters were placed on Li Xin's table and picked it up to look at it. First, it was about Nanjing. Chongzhen was appointed as the general of Hou Xun, and he did not dare to go south directly. Instead, he detoured the two lakes and went to Nanjing. Sun Chuanting was very quick and wrote a letter to Chongzhen to confess his guilt, Hou Xun became the nominal lord of Jiangnan.

There are no changes in Nanjing for the time being. After all, Sun Chuanting is still the Minister of War and the Prefecture of Yingtian in Nanjing. Although he was deprived of military power, his administrative power was still there. Instead, Hou Fangyu's status rose rapidly. He was originally ranked as the leader of the Fushe with Chen Zhenhui, Mao Xiang and Fang Yizhi, but now he is the first person in the Fushe with a constant banquet every day. Even Li Xiangjun is a concubine who is noble. However, Hou Xun doesn't like Hou Fangyu lingering in brothels, so Hou Fangyu had to move out of Meixianglou and live with him.

Li Xin smiled and knew quite well about Hou Xun. After being released in history, he wrote a letter to Chongzhen to give up Beijing and move the capital to Nanjing. He was imprisoned again. It was not until the Ming Dynasty fell that the Dashun Dynasty was released. Later, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and lived in seclusion.

This person actually has no political ambitions and will never be Sun Chuanting's opponent.

Li Xin picked up the next letter and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh.

Hong Chengchou was defeated in the battle!

Hong Chengchou led the eight generals, and 130,000 elite troops gathered in Ningyuan to fight with the Qing army. Hong Chengchou advocated approaching slowly, establishing camps step by step, fighting and defending, and not fighting lightly. However, Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War, promoted the war, and, while Chongzhen also hoped to be persistent, adopted the strategy of quick battle and quick decision.

Huang Taiji led a large army from Shengjing and stationed between Songxing. Jiergalang attacked the outer city of Jinzhou, cut off the Ming army's connection between Songxing, cut off the Ming army's food route, and cut off Hong Chengchou's way back. Hong Chengchou advocated a decisive battle. The generals of various departments advocated retreating south and gathered to break through the mountain. In the end, more than 100,000 people collapsed. Hong Chengchou only led a few thousand remaining soldiers to be trapped in Songshan City, and was almost foregone conclusion.

“Oh ~~”

Li Xin couldn't help but sigh, feeling extremely complicated.

In terms of emotion, he was very ashamed of Hong Chengchou's defeat of the Ming Dynasty and surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, but Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng were different. Fan Wencheng was the Central Bank of the Han Dynasty. Zhang Bin of the Jin Dynasty voluntarily became a traitor, while Hong Chengchou was a tragic figure. It was not entirely his responsibility to defeat the war. Chongzhen, Chen Xinjia, the Eight Generals, and the Ming army, broke out these four aspects separately, and each of them had a greater responsibility than Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou only led the wrong person to a defeat at the wrong time and place, but did not surrender. Instead, the deputy general of Songshan, Xia Chengde, kowtowed to the Qing army and was willing to take his son Xia Shu as a hostage to surrender. The Qing army was invited to attack at night and Songshan City was broken.

But no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that Hong Chengchou will not be safe in his later years.

Li Xin looked at the next letter, Li Zicheng failed to attack Kaifeng in the second attack!

This is almost a repeat of history. Li Zicheng dug holes to attack the city and buried explosives, but God did not help. Kaifeng's city wall was not blown up. One layer inside was intact. The outside was blown up and bricks and stones burst out, killing and injuring many of his own people. Morale was frustrated. Song Xiance observed the celestial phenomena again and suggested that the time would not come. He should attack Kaifeng again next year. So Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai led their troops to retreat to southeastern Henan.

‘Yuan Shizhong!’

Li Xin murmured.

Yuan Shizhong and Li Xin revolted in the same year, gathered tens of thousands of people to attack Kaizhou (now Puyang County), and killed Xi Zhi, the governor of the state. The following year, Liu Yuchi and Zhu Chengju entered the Shangqiu area of ​​Kaifeng, active in southeastern Henan and northern Anhui, and claimed to be the Xiao Yuanying. Because he was chased by the Ming army, he joined forces with Li Zicheng after Li Zicheng failed to attack Kaifeng in the second attack.

"Commander-in-Chief, Zhang Nai suddenly comes. Mrs. Gao asks you to come over quickly!"

At this time, Erfu called out.

"oh?"

Li Xin was stunned and said, "Okay, I'll go over and take a look!"

When he and Erju came to the government office, Gao Guiying and Huiying were both there, their faces were faintly angry, and Zhang Nai's eyes were red, obviously they had just cried.

"Zhang Nai, what's wrong?"

Li Xin nodded to Gao Guiying and Huiying, and asked.

"Hey!"

Zhang Nai squatted down in pain and punched him hard on the ground!

In fact, Li Xin knew that the tragedy in history finally happened, but he couldn't tell it, so he looked at Gao Guiying.

“Oh ~~”

Gao Guiying sighed: "Huimei, this child, has a miserable life! You already know that Yuan Shizhong and Zicheng jointly operate, but the heaven should not be, but the earth should not be. He happened to run into Huimei and was shocked, he was immediately shocked, alas!"

He sighed again, Gao Guiying couldn't continue to say anything.

Huiying also looked unbearable and had no way to speak.

Li Xin asked Zhang Nai: "What the hell is going on?"

"I...I'm useless, hey!"

Zhang Nai punched the ground hard, and his fists were red!

Li Xin asked again: "Did Yuan Shizhong stole Huimei? Zhang Nai, you are a man. The so-called hatred for killing your father and hatred for stealing your wife. If this is the case, what's wrong with you?"

"Young Master Li!"

Zhang Nai suddenly started to cry, wiping tears, and said hatefully: "The dog thief named Yuan took a fancy to Huimei and went to propose marriage to the King of Chuang. At the beginning, the King of Chuang was unwilling, but Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, two dog thieves, fanned the flames from the side and talked about the benefits of marrying Huimei to Yuan Shizhong. From the overall situation, the King of Chuang agreed, first let Huimei be the adopted daughter, and then someone persuaded me and Huimei separately. The King of Chuang treated me as a mountain of kindness. What can I do?"

"You agree, too?"

Li Xin glared: "Zhang Nai, it's not that I said you, even my wife can be given up. Are you a man? If you had known that you could not keep Huimei, I should have forced Huimei to stay and be a sister with Huiying!"

"Mr. Li, what are you doing?"

Gao Guiying quickly grabbed Li Xin and said dissatisfiedly.

Huiying also blamed: "Young Master Li, Zhang Nai is like this, you still say such things!"

Zhang Nai cried, "Mr. Li, I'm useless. I couldn't hold Huimei. Actually, you're right. I would rather Huimei follow you than let her get the dog thief named Yuan!"

"Well?"

Li Xin was shocked. Is his popularity so good? But he was quite comfortable to say this, so he asked sympathetically: "What about Huimei, what does it mean?"

Zhang Nai smiled bitterly and said, "Huimei must not be willing. She even had a hunger strike for this. Later, Gao Yigong, Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Zongmin and others advised her to put the overall situation first and said what her parents' orders were. The media said that since the King of Chuang was her father, she should make the decision for her marriage. Huimei could not resist it in the end... agreed!"

Gao Guiying and Huiying also looked miserable and shook their heads.

Li Xin said: "From the beginning, I thought you and Huimei were a pair of people made of heaven and earth. Therefore, even if Huimei was a master of appearance and talent, she was a good match for Huiying. I never thought of taking Huimei from you, but I didn't expect that Li Chuang would be inhumane and breaking you and Huimei apart. Really, I was so angry that I heard about this. Now I ask you, do you want to take Huimei back?"

"I……"

Zhang Nai hesitated and said, "I'm afraid Huimei has married Yuan Shizhong."

Li Xin hated her and said unconfrontation: "What's wrong with getting married? Do you think she's not clean? Zhang Nai, if you think this way, don't blame me for looking down on you. Huimei is already pitiful enough. As a man, you should save her from the sea of ​​suffering. Now that she is ravaged by other men, you hesitate and ignore it. I have to doubt your love for her. To be honest, I regret it. I shouldn't have given Huimei to you at the beginning. You disappointed me too much."

Zhang Nai felt something was wrong. What did it mean to give Huimei to himself? What did Huimei have to do with her childhood sweetheart? But he was an honest person and felt that Li Xin was thinking about himself and could not say anything to him.

Gao Guiying asked, "Mr. Li, how do you plan to rescue Huimei?"

Li Xin snorted coldly: "Of course, he sent troops to attack Yuan Shizhong and snatch Huimei away!"

Zhang Nai was shocked and said in disbelief: "Mr. Li, are you really willing to steal Huimei for me?"

Li Xin nodded and said, "So I want to ask you, if Huimei loses her body, do you still want her?"

"I...I want it!"

Zhang Nai gritted his teeth and knelt down and said, "Mr. Li, if you can help me save Huimei, I, Zhang Nai, would be a cow and a horse for you!"

"Zhang Nai, I see you as your brother and treat you as a brother. Don't do this. Besides, I have a good impression of Huimei, and I would rather help you than give it to Yuan Shizhong's dog thief. Don't worry, if Huimei is defiled, I will use a cannon to kill him, and you cannon!"

Li Xin pulled Zhang Nai up.

"Okay! From today on, my life in Zhang Nai will be yours!"

Zhang Nai was not pretentious and nodded violently. It could be seen that he hated Yuan Shizhong to the core and completely gave up on Li Zicheng.
Chapter completed!
