(Thank you for your friend U67421561's two monthly tickets~~)

A few days before New Year's Day, many things have to be formulated, and they have been implemented from the New Year's Day of the Jiashen year. Li Zicheng was particularly busy before the Eastern Expedition.

According to the five virtues, the Ming Dynasty was fire virtue. He designated Dashun Dynasty as water virtue, and his clothes were blue. The civil servants used clouds as decorations, one grade, one flower, nine grades, nine flowers, and other characters that violated his three generations of names need to be replaced by other characters.

The two common characters of his name, Zicheng, are commonly used, so Li Zicheng issued an edict to the world that from the New Year of the Jiashen year, Cheng would be changed to Sheng. His name was Li Zisheng. At the same time, Li Zicheng also considered reforming the currency system.

He established the Baoyuan Bureau, which was affiliated with the household government and cast the large and thick Dashun Tongbao, but the source of copper was scarce, so Li Zicheng ordered the collection of private bronzes and transported them to the Baoyuan Bureau.

Many other things are like the founding rules, various systems, political measures, dispatching soldiers and raising food and money, and although the officials from each yamen were in charge, there were also confidants such as Liu Zongmin, Niu Jinxing, and Song Xiance who made careful plans, he was the one who decided to make the decision. Every day, his life was both prominent and proud, and he was also full of busyness and worry.

But Li Zicheng is happy, he is like an emperor!

The wise ruler in his mind was Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang was busy with all kinds of things and skinned corrupt officials, which won the hearts of the common people. He regarded Zhu Yuanzhang as his idol.

"Ha~~Li Zicheng doesn't feel tired!"

A few days later, Li Xin got Li Zicheng's information, chuckled, and threw the information on the table.

The Hongniang also had a seed under Li Xin's hard work. It had been nearly a month since she picked up the letter and frowned and said, "Although Li Chuang has never read much, he is still very diligent. I read the above, not only does he handle government affairs until late at night, but also changed his previous lustful habits and only took two concubines. One was a palace servant from the former Qin Wang Mansion, called Chen Fei, and the other was brought from Mizhi's hometown. Although he was not well-versed in literature, he looked like a fairy and knew how to be a polite person, which showed that Li Chuang wanted to be a good emperor in his heart."

Li Xin waved his hand and said, "Do you think he doesn't want to have fun? He is forced to do it. Although he has set up a central government and six ministries, almost all the civil officials are surrendered Ming Dynasty officials. Most of his old eighth teams are illiterate, and civil officials are not his own. Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance have no real skills. To be realistic, the one who came to Toshun in Xiangyang a few months ago is already considered an old qualification.

Not to mention that those civil officials may not be the same as him, even Li Zicheng did not trust them. But he was still eager for quick success and instant benefits. Before the Qing Dynasty was settled, he couldn't wait to march towards Beijing, so he had to be a laborer."

Gu Hengbo praised from the side: "Mr. Li's eyes are still long-term. As early as when he came out of Luoyang, he paid attention to the cultivation and selection of talents. Although he occupied a large territory in a short time, he was in order and was not at all confused. Compared with Mr. Li, Li is far behind."

This is fine, but she forgot that there are Gao Guiying and Huiying around Li Xin. In addition to Li Xin's ability to say that Li Zicheng is not good, others always have some concerns and will not openly say bad things about Li Zicheng, so as not to be embarrassed by Gao Guiying and Huiying. But Gu Hengbo didn't know that, just to please Li Xin, he was not estimating the forces around Li Xin.

Sure enough, Gao Guiying and Huiying both frowned.

Gu Hengbo noticed it and thought it was not good.

Sun Di also glanced at Gu Hengbo, thinking that I would like to teach you the correct way to slander Li Zicheng. Then he asked Li Xin: "Mr. Li Chuang changed Li Zicheng to Li Zisheng. Do you think this name is changed well?"

"He is seeking death by himself!"

Li Xin sneered.

“Why?”

Sun Di asked.

Li Xin explained: "Cost is a good word, like thinking that it is a success, and achievement of great cause, but Li Chuang didn't know if he believed someone's greedy words. He put a sun on his head. He thought he was the Great Sun Tathagata?

Tathagata had no boundless magic power and could hold the sun behind his head. He was just an ordinary person. What kind of virtue could he do? Can his head resist the sun? If it hadn't been for the Ming Dynasty, he would have been dying. He finally defeated Guanzhong and should have rested, but before his internal stability was stable, he was eager to send troops to Beijing.

In the manifesto, he claimed to send 500,000 troops, but I made up the bill for him. At most, he could only lead about 200,000 troops. In the past six months, Li Zicheng has expanded too much. He occupied Huguang, Henan, and there are no soldiers? After he annexed Luo Rucai's troops, there were hundreds of thousands of troops, which was enough, but when he dispersed, his strength became weak. Moreover, the situation in many prefectures and states in Huguang and Henan was unstable, and the gentry and officials looked around and waited for an opportunity to move.

His problem was that his steps were too big and he was ripping the ball. I think Li Zicheng himself understood, but in the past six months, he had a smooth sailing and became arrogant in the army. He always thought it was easy to win Beijing. The people below were eager to make achievements and pushed him to attack Beijing.

Besides, Li Zicheng used to wander around without paying wages. Now that he has established a country, can he still not pay wages? But the places he got were either naked for thousands of miles, or people were unstable, where could he get money to recruit more soldiers? So Li Zicheng's ending could only be that his prosperity and his demise would be sudden."

Gao Guiying and Huiying no longer expressed their dissatisfaction. Sun Di glanced at Gu Hengbo proudly. Gu Hengbo was also a smart girl. She understood that in this family, only Li Xin could speak ill of Li Zicheng. If you want to express Li Zicheng's contempt or dissatisfaction, you can only speak it through Li Xin's mouth by asking questions.

"Okay, how about Li Zicheng, it's not our business. The New Year will be in a few days. Everyone should prepare."

The Hongniang also saw the problem and smiled and smoothed out the situation.

In fact, even though Liu Rushi and his daughters are in front of others, they have no family except Koubaimen and are alone. Therefore, the Hongniang is kind and stays in the mansion to celebrate the New Year.

"Um!"

Several women nodded gratefully.

...

The New Year in Nanjing is as lively as ever. The people did not feel any impact of the enemy entering the city. They even independent criminal investigation power from the government office due to the establishment of police agencies. Public security has improved greatly, and the people praised it.

Xi'an was also filled with praise, and officials and gentry rushed to greet Li Zicheng. In the early morning of the third day of the Jiashen year, Li Zicheng led Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, the Secretary of the Military Government Yu Shangyou (formerly the Censor of the Ming Dynasty), Gu Junen (apart from Niu Song, another strategist valued by Li Zicheng) and surrendered generals in Xi'an, and thousands of elite cavalry guards led by Li You, Wu Ruyi, Li Shuangxi, Li Qiang and others, left Xi'an.

The civil and military ministers who stayed in Xi'an, led by Zehou Tian Jianxiu, sent them to Baqiao. The Qin king and several princes of the Ming Dynasty were brought to the army.

The vanguard of the Shun Army's eastern expedition crossed the Yellow River on the ice in mid-December last year. The main forces were divided into two groups: one from the Shawo River between Hancheng and Yumen, and the other from Hancheng to Puban. When Li Zicheng set off from Xi'an, the Ming Dynasty regime in Shaanxi had collapsed, and the scholars opened the city and offered surrender. Liu Zongmin's flying sound continued to come, and the power was unstoppable along the way.

In the joy of victory, Li Zicheng marched quickly and headed towards Taiyuan.

Wherever the Shun Army passed, the post station was restored, the postmen were rectified, and the information exchanges were smooth. Li Zicheng's civil and military officials who remained in Chang'an continued to receive the sound of the Shun Army's Eastern Expedition. He was excited and the market was filled with the joy of victory.

Some officials even suggested to Tian Jianxiu that once Li Zicheng held a grand ceremony in Beijing, Xi'an would also celebrate grandly, and the streets would set up colorful arches to celebrate for three days.

When Tamaki Hideyuki started to prepare.

By February 10, another good news came. Taiyuan City had been captured four days ago. Shanxi Governor Cai Maode hanged himself and killed him. The family of King Jin was captured. The morale of the civil and military officials was extremely excited. It is said that Taiyuan has been broken, and the next step is Beijing. As expected, God is taking care of it. As soon as he set out to fight, he fell into his hands.

After a while, there were gongs and drums and cheers on the streets outside the Forbidden City, and firecrackers also crackled, and the sound became more and more intense, shocking the entire Xi'an City.

On this day, Li Xin led the eighty queen ships and hundreds of transport ships that had been transformed, quietly left Nanjing and headed towards Jinan along the canal.

Among these eighty ships, there are only twenty warships transformed from Fu Ship, and the rest are transformed from smaller Hailun ships. The displacement is only about 200 tons and only two decks. Except for the first and last ships, each equipped with a 117 field gun, and only a 093 light gun can be installed on the side. There is no way, there are only these lucky ships in the army.

Vannasha and John were accompanied, and the rest of Pier and others remained in Nanjing and continued to be a cow and horse for Li Xin.

The infantry and cavalry army sneaked to Linqing in batches and in batches as early as the New Year, and together with the Mongolian cavalry, the total strength was nearly 50,000.
Chapter completed!
