Chapter 15 Not unified but not independent

Chongzhen respected Dr. Chen very much. Although his knowledge of doctors has been greatly reduced this year, Dr. Chen’s level is unquestionable. Dr. Chen’s undergraduate studies are in surgery, master’s degree and major in integrating Chinese and Western medicine, and doctorate has switched to medical psychology. Even the outsider, Gong Daming, is impressed by this difficulty. Princess Kunxing has the wisdom of Dr. Chen, who knows what shocking thoughts would be!

Sure enough! Princess Kunxing opposed the united front with Li Zicheng. The reasons are: one, inhumane; two, thief is not changed; three, there is no program for governing the country. The examples of recovering stolen goods and helping torture and torture and torture and maiming by placing sticks are enough to illustrate these three points. As a humanitarian's disgust with this inhuman behavior is in the bones. The thief is not changed and he did not falsely accuse Li Zicheng. Detention and torture are essentially no different from kidnapping, but just set up the bandit village directly in the capital. As for the program for governing the country, even such short-term behavior of killing chickens and retrieving eggs, what are the ideals of long-term stability! Let's not mention Juntian's dream of freeing the Fu.

If you unite the battle with such a bandit, you will lose the hearts of the world! On the other hand, the Qing soldiers who entered Kyoto were not so crazy. Of course, they had robbed them all, and Li Zicheng had to take them away. But the Qing soldiers who were not too late to transport them away were also accepted. But the Qing Dynasty would pretend to be a b-and-seller and sell them well. Under the guise of revenge on the Ming Dynasty to pacify the thieves, they fooled the old and young people in the capital who thought that the Qing soldiers were actually a mighty and a benevolent army. Look at the means of collecting the hearts of the people, you will know that Li thieves could not do it!

Based on the above, the princess was rumored and opposed the united front with Li Zicheng. But if she didn't engage in united front, what could she do? The princess could only remain silent.

Dr. Chen remembered his status with his boyfriend in later generations. Some best friend analyzed that his status was similar to the situation in the Taiwan Strait: it is difficult to be unified, and it is difficult to be unified. - neither getting married nor break up; it is difficult to get married or break up.

The relationship between Chongzhen and Li Zicheng is not as good as this one now! It is difficult to unify and even more difficult to be independent! If you want to build a united front, you can only be unified by Li Zicheng. If you want to unify Li Zicheng, you dream! If you want to be independent? That's right, we want to be independent all day and night, but our personal freedom is controlled by others, and there is no door to independence!

The doctor is quite unfamiliar with politics. The situation is stronger than that of human beings! The humanitarian rule of law and other spirit have to be temporarily put away.

For a child like the princess who is full of humanity and rule of law in future generations, it seems that she has to find a way to send it out of the capital as soon as possible. If this girl is hot-headed, who knows what kind of demon moth will make!

Since Chongzhen met the three young princes, especially Princess Kunxing, he felt more concern and responsibility. Gong Daming's greatest ideal in later generations was to blow Chinese football out of Asia and the world, but later, Zhang Jilong drew the lottery for Asian football into the world. Gong Daming alone took the responsibility to save the people from water and fire and save the country from decline, and he did not have this awareness and ability. Among the three people who traveled through time, we were the worst in level and ability, but Wang Chengen traveled through time and became a eunuch, Dr. Chen traveled through time and became a flower girl, and his left arm was also abandoned. In terms of identity, can you expect a eunuch and a yellow-haired girl to turn the tide? It seems that even if this protagonist is unwilling to make up for the numbers, he has to bite the bullet.

In Princess Kunxing's eyes, it was like a public looting to recover stolen stolen money and helping the money. Liu Zongmin led a group of subordinates to do a lot of work.

Liu Zongmin is still unwilling to pursue 45 million taels of silver in 5 days. The bones of these corrupt officials and nobles are too soft. After tortured a few people on the street and fainted, the rest of them surrendered. Saving their lives is important, and it is difficult to get rid of the silver. According to Liu Zongmin's plan, as long as he takes more ruthlessness, it is not a problem to chase 20 million taels of silver within 10 days. Mr. Liu found that it was much more interesting to recover stolen money in Beijing than to fight, so he used a few moves, and a few old wealthy slaves died and suddenly suppressed the powerful people in the Beijing gate. If the wealthy slaves refused to hand over the money, they would just wait for the stick to be held in the heart. There were a few more heroes who could endure the pain, and then the money was paid up. Some of the money owners needed to be graceful for a few days, so they sent the beauty to Mr. Liu's mansion, and Liu Zongmin accepted it all. Now there are more than 100 beauties in the Liu Zongmin's mansion. Mr. Liu has been through the battlefield for a long time, but he is a new recruit in the pile of makeup. In an instant, his children have a long love affair. In addition to recovering stolen money, they are also snuggling red and cuddling, fighting irons and fighting. How could they be compared to the charming and charming people in the tent? Liu Zongmin simply entrusted all the major events of reorganizing the troops and preparing for the Qing army to Li Guo. Li Zicheng saw that Liu Zongmin was like this, but he was not convenient to denounce him.

The recovery of stolen money can no longer be carried out, which has caused a lot of chaos in the capital. Wu Sangui didn't know if he would buy it. How could he give up the abdication ceremony be greatly reduced!

Therefore, Li Zicheng's high-level meeting was held again under the great situation of recovering stolen money and helping the money.

In addition to Gu Junen who sent to surrender Wu Sangui, there were more generals in the military, Tian Jianxiu and Liu Fangliang, and the others were the original teams of the last high-level meeting: Liu Zongmin, Niu Jinxing, Li Guo, Song Xiance, and Li Yan (ranking regardless of order).

After collective research at the meeting, Li Zicheng decided:

1. The task of recovering stolen money has been successfully completed, and the recovery of stolen money has stopped from now on;

2. Make every effort to promote all preparations for the abdication ceremony;

Third, continue to focus on recruiting Wu Sangui;

Fourth, Hao Yaoqi led his troops to Beijing, Bai Wang and his troops to Beijing, prepare for the Qing army, and guard against Wu Sangui.

Just as we were about to end the meeting, we heard that Gu Junen had brought back the good news.

Gu Junen did bring back good news, and Wu Sangui surrendered and surrendered.

It turned out that Wu Sangui and Shanhaiguan General Gao Di and Governor Li Yutian were sent to Beijing. On the 20th, they arrived in Yongping. However, they heard that the spies came to report that Beijing had lost. The next day, they reported that Chongzhen was not dead and imprisoned in the palace. When Wu Sangui saw the situation, it was no longer advisable to rescue Beijing. He had no good plans to discuss it with Gao Di and Li Yutian. Even Gao Di's troops were only 45,000, and 10,000 of them were even more powerful. How could he fight against Li Zicheng's tens of thousands of troops! Therefore, he stationed the main force in Yongping, sent a vanguard to occupy Yutian first, and then tried good plans.

There was no place to worry about it. On the 23rd, Tang Tong led Gu Junen and came to surrender with silver supplies for the army.

After reading Chongzhen's letter and Wu Xiang's letter of persuasion, Wu Sangui was also quite moved when he saw that his former comrade Tang Tong turned into a celebrity in Dashun. In addition, Gu Junen conveyed Li Zicheng's promise to be a marquis, and Wu Sangui was also quite moved.

Wu Sangui summoned Gao Di, Li Yutian, his staff and a group of generals, circulated Chongzhen's letter, and asked the opinions of the attendees. Everyone present understood that it was unwise to save Beijing, and becoming an enemy with Li Zi means that the general was attacked by Li Zicheng and the Qing soldiers outside the pass. He also heard that Li Zicheng had a million soldiers, and when the Ming Dynasty surrendered generals were not weak, Bai Guangen, Tang Tong, and Jiang Xiang surrendered Li Zicheng to be highly valued. Moreover, Li Zicheng did not kill Chongzhen, but just abdicated. Regardless of whether Chongzhen was sincere or false, he had a kindness and righteousness, and the taste of inheriting the truth. In this case, naturally no one mentioned the enemy with Li Zicheng, let alone the It was a fool to seize Beijing and save Chongzhen. Everyone expressed their unanimous statement, but General Wu was the leader of the horse. Seeing that everyone had the intention to surrender Li Zicheng, Wu Sangui thought secretly that although Dorgon had sent a letter to surrender, he would never refuse to surrender to him. As Chongzhen wrote in his letter, who would be willing to be a lackey of Tartars and bear the reputation of eternal eternity! Li Zicheng was the Han family, but it was just a change of dynasty. Of course, he did not have the opportunity to verify that Li Zicheng was actually a descendant of the Dangxiang Qiang people. After his plan was settled, he decided to surrender Li Zicheng. When Wu Sangui said this, everyone cheered.

Wu Sangui became more careful and wrote a surrender letter, but asked Li Zicheng to promise that for his ministers, formal surrender must be held after the formal surrender ceremony was officially held. He said: On the one hand, he was a famous honor for the old ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, he would also become the number one example of surrender after the abdication ceremony.

When Gu Junen saw that Wu Sangui was willing to surrender, his reputation was not too much. After rewarding the military, he immediately brought Wu Sangui's surrender to Beijing. He thought that a great achievement fell on his head and was overjoyed all the way.

Li Zicheng looked at Wu Sangui's surrender and was overjoyed! He asked Niu Jinxing to read it again, and everyone shouted long live, and congratulated each other. A big rock fell into the ground in Li Zicheng's heart, sweeping away the worries of the day before yesterday, and happily said:

"Since Wu Sangui has surrendered, the big thing has been settled! Wu Sangui has thought about his reputation thoroughly! He has to wait for the abdication ceremony before formal surrendering. First, he can achieve his reputation as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and second, he can set an example for his loyalty to Dashun after the abdication. But it is reasonable. This is a slippery point, just follow him."

Li Zicheng swept away his ministers and continued:

"Let Wu Sangui's troops garrison Yongping on standby. Jiexuan, I am willing to send Tang Tong to lead 8,000 troops to guard Shanhaiguan, and Bai Guangen to lead 20,000 troops to follow up. The Great Wall Defense Line, and Liu Fangliang to lead 30,000 troops to guard Zunhua and the Great Wall. The troops around Beijing are stored at any time to respond, and to prevent Wu Sangui from changing."

Liu Zongmin responded: "As for your order!"

Li Zicheng smiled and said, "Chongzhen and his son are working as carpenters in the palace. It's a bit funny! I don't care whether he is keeping a low profile or not, and if he wants to do carpenters, I will not even open this convenient door. But if you have to take him into consideration, don't blame me for being rude! How are you prepared for this abdication ceremony?"

"The emperor is wise! Go back to the emperor, everything is done step by step. The ceremony on the sixth day of the April 1st can be held on time." Niu Jinxing quickly replied.

"So good! Li Guo, how are the food and grass prepared?" Li Zicheng looked at everything and thought of the problem of food and grass in the army. More than 100,000 soldiers and horses are facing a big war at any time, and food and grass are a big problem.

Li Guo stood up and replied, "Return to the emperor, the grain transportation is now cut off, and the grain in Beijing has soared. You can only buy grain at a high price. The rice price has reached four taels of silver and one stone. There is still a silver liang to be added for the food and grass problem."

Liu Zongmin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to fight against the Qing soldiers, you must not be short of food and grass. I believe that since Wu Sangui has surrendered, the main thing is to prepare a battle with the Qing soldiers. Therefore, you must prepare for at least one year of food and grass. At the current price of food and food, I think that the silver obtained from recovering the stolen money is still too little. I am responsible for recovering the stolen money and helping the money. Some detained corrupt officials and honors agreed to pay the money within the past two days. According to what I see, should I wait until they pay the money before stopping the recovery of the stolen money and helping the money? With the food and food, there will be no worries during the war, and dealing with the Qing soldiers will increase the chance of victory. I ask Your Majesty for your kindness!"

When Li Zicheng heard it was reasonable, since Wu Sangui had surrendered, although the Qing army was brave, our Dashun army was waiting for work, and as long as we had no food and grass, we had more confidence in fighting the Qing army. In addition, the Dashun Dynasty had all the things that required were amazing. In addition, it was only possible to provide relief to the victims with money and grain. As for the situation in the capital, it was under control. It was no big deal to release these corrupt officials and relatives for two days. Therefore, he stopped insisting and said:

"Since this is the case, the recovery of stolen funds will be delayed for two days. After three days, all must be stopped, and all the detainees will be released. Be careful not to hurt anyone's lives after recovering stolen funds."

Everyone felt something was wrong with Niu Jinxing, but refused to speak out and brush Liu Zongmin's rebellious scales. Seeing that Li Zicheng looked like he was talking, Li Yan stopped his opposition.

The next day, all kinds of right and wrong of recovering stolen money and helping pay were reported to Wu Sangui's military camp. Some said that hundreds of people were tortured, and some said that they tortured thousands of people. There were countless former Ming officials, eunuchs and honorary relatives who were detained. Some said that Liu Zongmin forced his daughter to rob the people of the country and did everything he wanted, and even said that he robbed Wu Sangui's concubine Chen Yuanyuan. He did not tell the truth for a while. Some relatives and friends in the army were detained and torn in the capital, and they all told the atrocities of the Dashun Army. The spies sent also confirmed that the Dashun Army

He was paraded and killed several times, injured several times, and reported the exaggerated words and complaints of a family member who suffered from the suffering. It made Wu Sangui feel uncomfortable and wished he could go to Beijing to see if his father's family had suffered such grievances. As a result, Wu Sangui's army was happy to surrender Shun Dashun, but the rumors made people panic. Some generals even were afraid that they would be recovered and helped to pay after they arrived in Beijing, so they ran to Wu Sangui to ask what was going on.

Gao Di couldn't help but: "General, Li Zicheng's character remains unchanged. We are following the thief. It's really hard to predict what the future will be."

Wu Sangui comforted him: "These are all rumors. I heard that the rioters recovered stolen money and helped pay, as well as donations and loans. I would not be so cruel! I will continue to find out the news and make a reason."

“Okay.”

In the capital, Liu Zongmin not only did not restrain himself, but he was addicted to recovering stolen money and helped his money. Originally, Li Zicheng's confession could not affect Zhou Guohou. Liu Zongmin was worried that Wu Sangui had not yet surrendered, and he was indeed afraid of three points. Now Wu Sangui bowed his head, so he had no worries! With an order, Zhou Guohou secretly detained Zhou Guohou and torture him. Zhou Guohou could not withstand it, so he paid 400,000 taels of silver as soon as he put the stick on. Of course, this amount was less than the 530,000 taels of silver in history. Without an airtight wall, Wang Chengen heard about it immediately. He thought to himself that Liu Zongmin dared to do it. The world would not rebel, and he had to force others to rebel!

Li Zicheng thought that the throne was as solid as a rock, and he also made the election of concubines by Niu Jinxing, which also made the wealthy families frustrated. Li Zicheng did not show his domineeringness at this time, at least he lacked domineeringness in front of Liu Zongmin. In addition, he felt that he was not very righteous, so he became weaker when criticizing Liu Zongmin. As a result, you continued to recover stolen money and helped the money. I continued to elect concubines and treat everyone in the world as puppets.

The news from the capital was getting more and more chaotic, just like the Dashun Army robbed the women of wealth. There was also a man with a mysterious origin, claiming to have brought news from the palace. Wu Sangui called and asked, saying that he only obeyed the secret order of the palace and passed on one sentence:

The pseudo-submission of Dashun was not subject to unified dispatch, and maintained relatively independent, waiting for an opportunity to return to the south.

Wu Sangui did not dare to hide it, so he invited Gao Di, Li Yutian and a group of generals to discuss how to deal with it.

The results of the discussion all believed that Li Zicheng was extremely disappointing, and such actions would not last long. However, if Wu Sangui's troops wanted to survive, they had to be vain. However, it was not easy to maintain relative independence without being unified and dispatched. So Hu Shouliang and Fang Xianting proposed that it would be better to occupy Shanhaiguan again. Since the Qing soldiers were ready to attack Li Zicheng, it would be better to be able to get along between the Qing soldiers and Li Zicheng and watch the tiger fight. In this way, the Qing soldiers and Li Zicheng would not dare to touch the Wu army, which was highly respectful, but when it comes to food and grass, the two couldn't help but talk.

Li Yutian strongly advocated going south to Shandong and supporting the royal family of the Ming Dynasty to become emperor. The Dashun army had to fight against the Qing army, which was beyond the reach. As long as you just need to respect Dashun, and betray the snake, take the opportunity to go south and support the new emperor, then all the kings will have the merit of following the dragon, and success will be of great importance.

The final discussion of Wu Sangui and his group unanimously agreed: the false surrender of Dashun is not subject to a unified sect, both independent and not completely independent, and listen to the sect but not the tune. In fact, it is similar to the "not unification and not independence" that Taiwan adheres to later. As for whether to go north to reoccupy Shanhaiguan or go south to Shandong, Wu Sangui said: Let me think about it for a few days before making a reason.
