Chapter 299 Drive Li Zicheng out of Beijing
"What, that kid hangs Dorgon's envoy in front of Zhengyang Gate?"
When Li Zicheng heard the spy come to report, he was shocked and showed a complex and difficult-to-understand look.
The civil officials and military generals below were also surprised and looked different.
Li Guo praised: "What a man, I didn't even read Dorgon's letters, and stepped on my feet. Although I, Li Buzhi, are his enemy, I still want to praise you, I'm so proud!"
Although most of the generals in the rebellion army were not good people, they were still bloody. After hearing Li Guo's words, they all nodded, and even Liu Zongmin had a flash of light in his eyes!
Liu Zongmin and Li Xin have no personal grudges. He is a bandit-like person. He is quite obsessed with some of Li Xin's behavior in private, but it is difficult to show it in public due to his identity.
"Ahem~~"
Niu Jinxing coughed twice and bowed, "Emperor, according to my opinion, Li Xin is too stupid. Dorgon wrote to him, most of whom he was unhappy and intended to alienate and force us to fight in an internal struggle. He could take advantage of the situation and fight for the city of success. But Li Xin revealed his thoughts in public and was ashamed to him. Even if Dorgon would not tolerate him just for the face of the Qing Dynasty, wouldn't Li Xin fall into death?
As I expected, since Li Xin's road is not working, perhaps Dorgon will send another letter tomorrow. Your Majesty will accept it or not. If it is accepted, how to accept it should be considered clearly."
Li Zicheng understood Niu Jinxing's meaning. When he was still marching the last time, the Qing Dynasty sent a letter to the Qing Dynasty. Li Zicheng did not make any excessive statements, but just made a fuss to make a fuss. But if Dorgon sends another letter tomorrow, it would be a big problem.
Because Li Xin hanged the Qing ministers in public and wrote letters to express his swearing to the point of being incompatible, Li Zicheng would never openly accept Dorgon's letter. Otherwise, whoever is superior will be better or inferior, and all the heroes in the world will be disappointed with Li Zicheng.
But if you don’t accept it, just like Li Xin, you will pick up people and you will not dare to break up with Dorgon.
After all, he only had 70,000 troops, and other troops in the Eastern Expedition guarded the main roads, and it was difficult to draw in a short period of time. After Dorgon surrendered Wu Sangui, the total force was close to 200,000. He really did not have the confidence to fight Dorgon, especially Li Xin was still by his side, so he did not dare to take action.
Therefore, for a moment, I didn't know how to answer, and I stroked my beard and pondered. After a while, I cursed and said, "This kid is pushing me to the dead end!"
Song Xiance bowed and said, "Emperor, if Dorgon is a wonderful person, he should send someone to disguise himself and see the emperor. Otherwise, it would be better if the emperor didn't see him. It can be seen from this that Li Xin was not willing to fight with the emperor at the moment of his great enemy. The emperor can also deal with him temporarily, and he should not teach him to get the righteous alone!"
"Well~~ That's all!"
Li Zicheng nodded reluctantly.
...
"presumptuous!"
Dorgon had more spies in Beijing than Li Zicheng. When he received the news, he was furious and slapped the table hard and stood up.
This is a shameful insult, a naughty insult!
"This child should be cut into pieces!"
Azig and Dodo both were furious and said in unison.
"Regent, please make the decision for the old minister!"
Fan Wencheng knelt on the ground in front of the case, crying and robbing the earth.
Hong Chengchou was vaguely worried about his family in Beijing, so he couldn't help but look at Wu Sangui and acted like Li Xin. If their family fell into Li Xin's hands, it would definitely be a word of death. Fortunately, the Hong family and the Wu family lived in Beicheng. Under Li Zicheng's control for the time being, he believed that Li Zicheng would not be so crazy. Even if he was tying up for the quasi-mass, there was still a possibility of negotiation.
The civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty were also angrily scolded.
"Brother Hong, what do you think?"
It took a while for Dorgon to calm his anger and asked in a deep voice.
Hong Chengchou bowed righteously and sternly: "The thief is cruel and should be punished by heaven. I beg the Regent to send troops quickly to the city of Beijing, take the opportunity to attack, and defeat the thief at the head. At the same time, I will write a letter to the thief Li, who is willing to be the king of Guanzhong, and fight against the thief together with our Qing Dynasty!"
"Prince!"
The ministers and generals bowed one after another and looked at Dorgon with earnest eyes.
Dorgon calmed down and came back. According to his understanding of Li Xin, he should not be so impulsive. Then, there was only one goal to do so, forcing himself to attack Beijing when he was not firmly established.
In fact, Dorgon was unwilling to use troops immediately. He has always been good at using strategies and strategies, and prefers to solve problems with strategies and political means. He admired Zhuge Liang the most and used him as his teacher.
It is said that the Qing Dynasty highly praised the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Almost everyone at the middle and senior officials had seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Many strategies to deal with the Ming Dynasty were to evolve from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. For example, the disagreement plan against Chongzhen envoy defeated Yuan Chonghuan.
In Dorgon's view, Li Xin and Li Zicheng will have a conflict sooner or later. There is no need to force too much. If it is forced, it will make both sides let go of their grudges and work together to deal with it. Only by hanging them without looseness or tightness will it induce the conflict between the two sides to accumulate over time and eventually conflict breaks out. At that time, it will be the day when the Qing army attacks.
Unfortunately, he was just the regent, not the emperor, and he could not ignore the calls below. Especially after Huang Taiji's death, Ajige and Duoduo gradually became a tendency to become centrifugal and no longer had the same heart as him.
At this moment, it was the most fierce thing that Ajige and Dodo shouted.
But no matter what, Dorgon didn't think he would be defeated by Li Xin, it was just to lose more troops.
"Well, the whole army will make fire and make food. After dark, they will move to Beijing!"
The Qing army became busy immediately. The Qing army was stationed fifty miles northeast of Beijing. Even if they moved camp overnight, they would not be able to reach the city of Beijing tomorrow morning.
...
The sky gradually dyed a bright red color, and the sun also emitted a brilliant golden light. Li Xin was at the top of Chaoyang City, setting up a task to attack Li Zicheng.
"If I expected it was not bad, the Qing army should be able to arrive tomorrow, so Li Zicheng, the misfortune, must be driven out of Beijing tonight!"
"This attack starts from Chaoyang Gate and Fucheng Gate on the east and west wings, and attacks along the city wall, with the goal of driving Shun Army down the city!"
"The Chaoyang Gate was led by He Hu and led by 500 Forward Battalion and 3,000 Musketeers, and the Fucheng Gate was led by Fei San and led by 500 Forward Battalion and 3,000 Musketeers. Make preparations quickly and launch an attack on time in the third day!"
"Get orders!"
He Hu and Fei San both bowed.
Since the establishment of the vanguard, it has never been used to charge and storm. It is mainly fighting in the south. It is just a surrender without fighting. The vanguard battalion has no use of weapons. This is a formal battle. All the vanguard battalion soldiers are excited.
Although the probability of sacrificing is high, there are also some rumors in the army that the Forward Battalion is not doing serious business with a high salary and competes for favor with his personal guards. The Forward Battalion is filled with resentment!
Of course, some rumors were secretly spread under Li Xin's instruction. The so-called raising troops for a thousand days, and using troops for a while is very particular. Don't raise them, and they will be useless, or they will become arrogant soldiers and their commands are not effective. Therefore, Li Xin used rumors to arouse the resentment and anger of the soldiers of the vanguard camp!
Aren’t you okay? Then prove yourself!
"The merit has become a plan for everyone, let's go now!"
Everyone gave another gust and hurriedly left for preparation. The Forward Battalion had to wear two layers of iron armor and swung huge axes. They ran from Chaoyangmen and Fuchengmen to Deshengmen, which was several miles away. Even if they were strong, they could not bear it for so long. In addition to eating a lot, they were reasonable distribution of physical strength.
Because the city was narrow, there was actually no need to attack so many people. The five hundred people on each side were divided into ten teams. Those who followed were not wearing armor. The armor and giant axe were specially provided with special soldiers to help send them out, and they were equipped when war was about to happen.
After long-term training, the striker's soldiers can finish dressing within two minutes.
Of course, no matter how well prepared you are, the soldiers need to have a fearless heart.
Li Xianfeng was worried and said, "Commander-in-Chief, if Li Chuang fights to the death and refuses to retreat, once the Qing army takes advantage of the chaos to enter the city tomorrow, wouldn't that be a mistake?"
Li Xin glanced at Gao Mingheng and smiled: "Mr. Luji knows Li Chuang the most, so please ask Mr. Luji to say it."
"snort!"
Gao Mingheng hummed contemptuously: "It is the most cunning to break through this thief. There was a false surrender in the carriage. When Tongguan was surrounded, he also said that he would surrender to the court and fight the Donglu for the court. Sun Baigu ignored it. Later, the thief attacked Kaifeng three times. When he saw that the situation was not good, he retreated immediately. It can be seen that he was a person who knew the current affairs.
Before the arrival of the commander-in-chief Yu the Qing army, he would be caught off guard and retreat step by step. It is difficult to find out the truth late at night. Aren’t he afraid of being trapped in Beijing and closing the door to beat the dog? When news of the loss of each gate comes one after another, he will definitely flee.
He has a palace in Diaoyutai, which is only a few miles away from Beijing, so he must go to Diaoyutai. If the commander-in-chief kept him for another purpose, he would just have to set up ambush outside Desheng Gate, which could take his life!"
