Chapter 154 The Bureaucracy and the Parties
Beijing City.
In the basement of a large mansion.
More than ten people are participating in this party.
Each of these more than ten people, when put into the outside world, was a super official in the court, a shocking role.
Among them, there is Wei Zaode, the chief assistant of the cabinet.
There is Zhang Xin, the Minister of Justice.
Wu Xiang's eldest son Wu Sanlian, who survived by luck, killed him in the Wu Mansion that day. He happened to be out of the mansion and did not dare to show up after that, but he was always active in the darkness.
There is eunuch Du Xun.
There are other important figures.
If you have any intention, you will find that several of these ten people have a considerable overlap with those who wanted to open the city gate when Li Zicheng attacked the last time.
"He Xuan is too much. He has become a demon. In the Battle of Yaoyue Tower, it is not enough to ask all of us to hand over most of the money, and we are still killing people continuously." Wei Zaode said in a deep voice: "Who are we? We are scholars and cultural people. We have passed the imperial examination, we have passed the Jinshi, and we are higher-level people like us bullied some illiterate inferior people, so what if."
"Just because of such a small matter, He Xuan actually planned to kill us. This is too much. He is also an official himself. He is sick when officials kill each other like this."
Wei Zaode's scolding became more and more excessive.
He has been the chief minister of the cabinet for so long, but he has never seen anyone as sick as He Xuan.
As an official, he does not protect the interests of officials, but rather protects the interests of some untouchables.
"This He Xuan is definitely a lunatic." Zhang Xin, the Minister of Justice, also cursed hatefully: "If he continues to kill like this, he will sooner or later kill us. This He Xuan is much more hateful than Li Zicheng and the Qing Dynasty."
"However, He Xuan is a man with peerless force, and we can't do anything to him at all. His family is also under the protection of the Jinyiwei. Luo Yangxing is the dog raised by Chongzhen, and we can't penetrate at all." Eunuch Du Xun said hatefully.
"Yes, we can't do anything to He Xuan. However, He Xuan is not invincible. It is said that the last time Li Zicheng attacked, he was so tired that he almost lost his strength. This person is not without limits." Wei Zaode said: "So, if we want to deal with He Xuan, we can only use external forces. For example..."
"He Xuan has always been incompatible with my younger brother Wu Sangui. This time, he killed my father again. He no longer took our Wu family seriously. Our Wu family decided to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and lead the Qing Dynasty into the pass. The Qing Dynasty had 120,000 powerful soldiers. Our Wu family also had 50,000 most elite Guanning Iron Cavalry. Attacking Beijing, he would definitely kill He Xuan. By the way, he killed Chongzhen. He was also confused and dared to reuse people like He Xuan." Wu Xiang's eldest son Wu Sanlian said with murderous aura.
These words made several other officials take a breath.
Doing so is equivalent to treason.
But, I thought about it again.
Now, He Xuan wants to collect the silver they embezzled, and what's wrong with such noble officials bullying some inferior people? He Xuan is going to shout and kill. It's too much. Since that's the case, then, if you beat Chongzhen and He Xuan, you can kill Chongzhen and He Xuan, and they will continue to be the people.
Wei Zaode saw that most of the officials present were intentional, and only a few were still unable to accept the treason. He smiled and said, "I have contacted the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty was very happy to hear our news. And they promised that as long as we defect to them, we will not lose our wealth in the future."
"It's not just the Qing army, but General Wu's army." Zhang Xin, Minister of Justice, said: "He Xuan killed too much, and the younger brother of General Zuo Liangyu of Huguang was also killed. I have compiled a letter to Zuo Liangyu and told us about our situation. Zuo Liangyu should also lead a large army. Zuo Liangyu also has 50,000 elite soldiers in his hands."
"With so many troops, He Xuan can't kill him?"
"The 120,000 troops of the Qing Dynasty, the Guanning Iron Cavalry of General Wu, and the 50,000 troops of General Zuo, are indeed extremely prosperous." Wei Zaode laughed: "He Xuan, He Xuan, aren't you powerful? Don't you want to kill us officials? Then let's see who is stronger."
The officials were full of energy and seemed to be able to kill He Xuan immediately.
"At that time, I will also peel He Xuan's flesh and make him die extremely miserable."
"That's sure. Since He Xuan dared to confront so many of us officials, we would have to die extremely miserably, so that everyone, including Ren Chongzhen, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty knew that our civil servants were powerful." Wei Zaode said confidently.
"In fact, we can not only summon these people, but also call Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng was defeated by He Xuan a year ago and missed the opportunity to win the world. I think he would be very happy to call him to come and take revenge together." Du Xun smiled and said, "Although Li Zicheng was defeated, he still had 100,000 troops under his command."
"Okay, then call Li Zicheng too."
"The Qing Dynasty, General Wu, General Zuo, Li Zicheng, what a spectacular lineup, I don't believe that He Xuan can't be killed." Wei Zaode laughed: "It's a pity that Zhang Xianzhong is far away in Shu, otherwise he could call him together."
"He Xuan, he is called the world's number one god general, he is called the Great Demon King."
"But no matter how good the big devil is, he can block such a lineup."
Several other officials also laughed.
...
Outside the pass.
Qing Dynasty.
Prince Yu Duoduo.
Prince Heshuo Li Daishan.
Prince Su Haoge.
Now the real high-level of the Qing Dynasty is these three levels.
Although Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang is famous, she is just a woman to put it bluntly. It is impossible for women to truly control the army in this era.
Emperor Shunzhi Fulin's son was a real child, and now he is only seven years old, he is a puppet.
"Just just now, news came from the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet that He Xuan, the big devil, was in Beijing, and the corrupt people punished silver and those who bullied the people killed them. This made the officials of the Ming Dynasty quite dissatisfied." Prince Yu Duoduo smiled and said, "The officials of the Ming Dynasty are already extremely rotten. How could they punish their silver and prevent them from bullying the people?"
"They have contacted us. At that time, the general of Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui, will let us cross Shanhaiguan and attack Beijing City together. At the same time, Wu Sangui will lead his 50,000 troops to attack Beijing City together. Not only that, it is said that they also contacted the General Zuo Liangyu Zuo and Li Zicheng of Huguang to attack Beijing City together."
"Will there be a fraud? Let's go and plot against us again?" Prince Li Dai Shan said in contemplation.
"The possibility of being a fraud is not high. According to the news from the spy, He Xuan, the great devil, was killed in Beijing, and even Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang and Zuo Liangyu's younger brother Zuo Liangyun were killed. It was normal for Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu to bear it."
"In Beijing, a large number of officials were also beheaded."
"He Da Demon King is really crazy. He killed so many officials alone, and he is really not afraid of officials rebelling against him. Hehe, but this also gives us a chance. We will gather everyone's strength first and kill He Da Demon King. And the only one who can make our Qing Dynasty worry about it is."
"As soon as He Xuan dies, how can others stop our Qing army? We can suppress the world and establish the Central Plains." Prince Yu Duoduo said with great enthusiasm. With He Xuan, he has never had any chance to establish the Central Plains.
And now, He Xuan himself was so angry that he had a flaw.
And his opportunity also came.
Ha ha ha ha!
"All up your troops and attack Beijing!"
...
Shanhaiguan.
Wu Sangui stood on the city wall with his hands behind his back.
"He Xuan, He Xuan, you dare to kill my father. You forced me." Wu Sangui said hatefully. If his father was simply killed, Wu Sangui would not be so angry.
However, when Wu Sangui remembered his first meeting with He Xuan, He Xuan started to mock him. The two seemed to be born with no ties. If He Xuan was allowed to become older, he would be afraid that he would not have any good results.
Therefore, Wu Sangui wants to seize this opportunity and kill He Xuan.
When the Qing troops were led into the pass, the Qing troops were led into the pass.
...
Huguang.
Zuo Liangyu, this man is over fifty years old, his hair and beard are gradually becoming white, and there are wrinkles on his face. However, he is still very energetic. Every day, he is in the two girls, and all girls are happy.
Zuo Liangyu has never been a loyal minister.
When he was ordered by the emperor to encircle Zhang Xianzhong and was about to defeat Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong said: "If I, Zhang Xianzhong, are still here, the general will be useful. If I, Zhang Xianzhong, are there any use?" At the same time, he presented a huge amount of silver.
Zuo Liangyu immediately let Zhang Xianzhong go.
He only knew that in this world, if there are soldiers and food, he would be the king of grass heads.
And recently, his younger brother died, which made him very angry.
Chongzhen's son and He Xuan's son, you are too disrespectful to him as the general of Huguang. You dare to kill his younger brother.
Moreover, according to the range He Xuan was going to kill, Zuo Liangyu was also a person who was a traitor. Wouldn't he even want to kill Zuo Liangyu?
Therefore, when many ministers of the Ming Dynasty court heard the news, Zuo Liangyu agreed almost without hesitation.
Since He Xuan dares to do these things, he will be disobedient.
I, Zuo Liangyu, want to see if you, the general He Shen, who is known as the best in the world, can withstand so many attacks from joining the army?
...
northwest.
Yongcheng.
Originally, the Shun Army established its capital in Chang'an City.
However, in the battle of attacking Beijing, the defeat of 600,000 troops made Li Zicheng and the senior leaders of the rebel army scared him by He Xuan. Even Chang'an City did not dare to stay there, so he found a remote place, Yongcheng, and continued to accumulate strength here.
Li Zicheng found Li Yan, Li Guo, Liu Zongmin, and Song Xiance.
"Just just now, I received a letter from the Ming ministers of the imperial court. What's wrong with you?" Li Zicheng smiled and said, "It is said that He Xuan, the great devil, was so angry in the capital."
"Corrupt official, hand in the fine."
"The people who bully men and women, kill them."
"Everyone knows their virtues. Most of them have bad records. They have fallen into the hands of He Da Demon King and have been killed countless times."
"These officials have always been arrogant and will not be convinced. But they can't beat He Xuan with all their usual methods. So they wrote a letter to me. They wanted to contact us, the Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui, Zuo Liangyu, and others to attack the capital together, and use troops to kill He Xuan." Li Zicheng said with a loud voice.
Li Yan, Li Guo, Liu Zongmin, Song Xiance and others couldn't help but change their colors: "Whether we or the Qing Dynasty are all enemies of the Ming Dynasty, are they treason?"
"Yes, they must be treason, but no one cares about whether they are treason or not." Li Zicheng sneered: "How do you feel? Did you take this opportunity to kill Beijing City? The other troops of the Ming Dynasty are rotten, and only He Xuan has combat power. If we can defeat He Xuan, then we can revive the situation and make a comeback.
Li Guo shouted loudly as soon as he heard this: "No matter how strong He Xuan is, there is a limit. If we can gather the power of us, Wu Sangui, Zuo Liangyu, and the Qing Dynasty, it is absolutely possible to deal with He Xuan alone. Once He Xuan is eliminated, no one in the world will be our opponent."
Li Yan shook his head: "King of Chuang, I feel that this time, it's better for us to remain calm."
"Oh, tell me." Li Zicheng is willing to listen to the following people now.
"The Qing Dynasty is a foreign race. If we join forces with the foreign race to attack Beijing City, even if we capture Beijing City and force He Xuan to death, we will have a bad reputation. If Xuan and the Qing Dynasty fight to the death first, we will fight to the death. Then we will do it, and this is not considered joining forces with the foreign race. This is one of them."
"Secondly, we can't tell how deep He Xuan is. The Qing Dynasty had an army of 120,000, Wu Sangui had an army of 50,000, and Zuo Liangyu had an army of 50,000. It is said that these are all elite soldiers. So many elite soldiers attacking Beijing City is much larger than what we claimed to be 600,000, but only 30,000 elite soldiers."
"Even He Xuan's ability is sure to be the enemy. We don't know how much power He Xuan will burst out before he dies. Everyone knows that wolves can burst out with super power before he dies, and it feels that people who are close to him are in danger."
"So, why don't we watch the battle next to us, wait until they get the result, and then it's our turn."
After hearing this, Li Zicheng thought briefly: "Li Yan's words make sense. If you have no other opinions, this matter will be settled."
