The banquet at Xihun Pavilion is undoubtedly a united banquet, a victory banquet, and both sides are very happy.

Chongzhen and Wang Chengen's lives were temporarily preserved, and Li Zicheng would be respectful before losing his value. As for the great cause of anti-Qing, after all, Li Zicheng's current attitude is more important than the original attitude in history. If this reminder has not improved at all, then Li Zicheng is really unable to help.

The next day, in the warm pavilion of Wuying Hall, Li Zicheng convened the first imperial meeting of the Dashun Dynasty to Beijing. In addition to Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance and Li Yan who accompanied the banquet yesterday, there were Liu Zongmin, Li Guo and Gu Junen (Note: Ranking is in no particular order).

After Niu Jinxing introduced the situation of last year's dinner, Liu Zongmin immediately expressed his congratulations:

"If Chongzhen is willing to abdicate, it will be the best. First, it will achieve His Majesty's benevolence and righteousness, and second, the remaining Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers will be better subdued. I think this is a great thing! I congratulate Your Majesty!"

After hearing this, Li Zicheng was overjoyed. Liu Zongmin spoke very importantly, and it was much easier to do if he spoke up to support everything.

"Jiexuan said well. Abdication is good for us, and we can help us to conquer the world as soon as possible. What do you think?" Li Zicheng has broken Beijing since he broke up, especially after drinking with Chongzhen, and his words have been given some particularity, as if he was not particular, and it would not be in line with the emperor's identity.

After Niu Jinxing never fell into flattery, he immediately said: "Your Majesty is the destiny of heaven. As far as I know, Chongzhen has always been stubborn. Today he is willing to abdicate, probably because he is sincerely admired by His Majesty. He is not a fool. He understands that only His Majesty, who is wise and powerful, can be the common ruler of the world. Chongzhen himself does not know any military force, and is different from His Majesty. When there is a great chaos today, only a hero like Your Majesty can conquer the world and clarify the world. Therefore, I congratulate Your Majesty! Congratulate Your Majesty for Dashun!"

Li Zicheng listened to all kinds of flattery, and this kind of flattery sounded unresentful, but instead felt uncomfortable if he didn't listen for a day. Li Zicheng changed his eyes and looked at Song Xiance. Song Xiance immediately stood up and said, "I think the abdication is indeed a congratulation. Abdication shows the destiny of heaven, which is actually a beautiful talk for the past three generations. The military strategy says that if you defeat others without fighting, you are a good person! By abdication and ascend to the great treasure, the world can be determined by placing an edict. At the same time, even if someone sets another son of the Zhu family's clan as the Ming Dynasty.

The king is just a "pseudo-Ming" and cannot be compared with the Zhengshu. It is just that the two major problems of the threat of the Qing army mentioned by Chongzhen and Wu Sangui's requisition and pacification are both crucial. Since Hong Chengchou was willing to work hard for the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army would definitely take the opportunity to move south. Our Dashun in Beijing and Jifu areas was not stable, and our army had only tens of thousands of troops coming to Beijing. We should dispatch troops as soon as possible. As for Wu Sangui's requisition, we should give preferential conditions so that we will not turn to the Qing Dynasty. Please give your Majesty the Holy Tribulation!"

In fact, the so-called abdication myth between the "Three Generations" is worth considering. Yao abdicated to Shun and Shun abdicated to Yu. No one of the historians has ever seen it, but the historians dared to slap their heads and write the transfer of power of Yao, Shun and Yu into a plot of giving up the wise after the glorious retirement. A group of people who are good at later generations pointed out the fallacy and pointed out that the truth of the so-called abdication is nothing more than a robbery of power by one means. As for the abdication after the three generations, it was so fake that even the abdicated oneself did not believe it. What is said to be a beautiful story is purely nonsense. Of course, no matter how much abdication is, it reflects the civilized progress of the transfer of power, and has always been praised by literati.

Li Zicheng nodded, then turned to Li Yan: "Lin Quan, you were here yesterday, what are your opinions?"

Li Yan stood up, bowed to the ground, and said to Li Zicheng: "I was drunk yesterday and couldn't sleep. I thought it was a good thing, but the situation was still not optimistic. What Chongzhen said was true. I thought it was difficult to avoid fighting on both sides even after the abdication. The abdicator was certainly a formality, and the original viewer would have been obeyed by those who watched and rode the wall, which was true, but those who were foolish and loyal to the Ming Dynasty or those who had ulterior motives would never admit that I was a formality. I thought that Zuo Liangyu, Gao Jie and others would inevitably continue to be enemies with me, and Zhang Xianzhong would never surrender easily. If Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, our army would not only be attacked on both sides, but could be said to be four sides.

Being attacked. Among them, the Qing soldiers are undoubtedly strong enemies, and Wu Sangui should not be underestimated. Although other aspects are not worth worrying, they will restrain our troops after all. Moreover, our Dashun Dynasty will inevitably need to divide the troops. In this way, it will be difficult to concentrate our troops to fight the Qing army with all their strength. If our army does not concentrate its troops, it may not be easy to defeat the Qing army in one fell swoop. Moreover, Beijing and the capital area are both plains and suitable for cavalry combat. The Qing soldiers are all cavalry, and if they cannot win, they can escape far away, but if our army is defeated, the army will face the cavalry, because there is no danger to defend, and it may be difficult to escape calmly. Therefore, I have repeatedly thought about it and have a bold idea, but this discussion is abrupt, and I am afraid that Your Majesty will be furious when he heard it."

"Lin Quan doesn't have to be too careful, just come and do whatever he wants. I will not be surprised." Li Zicheng aroused his interest, so he naturally had to look at it after hearing it.

"I believe that abdication should be temporarily suspended. Your Majesty might as well wait until the overall situation is decided to hold the ceremony of abdication and ascend the throne. At present, Chongzhen can still be respected as emperor. We still regard the Ming Dynasty as the main story and change the year name to Dashun. Your Majesty can be granted the title of King of Qin, serve as the Prime Minister, the Grand Marshal of the World, and use the emperor to command the princes. In this way, it is legitimate. Chongzhen is still the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui and others are still the ministers of the Ming Dynasty. If we surrender to the Qing Dynasty, we will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. If we obey me, we will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Then our army will have more help and less restraint. When our army gradually divides and collapses and conquers us, we will be conquered.

After the Ming army everywhere, they fought with the Qing army and won it in one battle. At this time, the overall situation has been settled. It is a safe move to abdicate and ascend the throne again. This strategy was inspired by Chongzhen's words of "half military and half political", but was changed to "seven-part politics and three-part military." I believe that if there is no absolute certainty in military affairs, we should be very cautious. If we can achieve our goals through political means, we should give priority to political means as much as possible. This is a little insight of me. I am bold and rebellious. Please forgive me for your crime!"

At this time, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was popular, and storytelling popularized this famous work to the point where everyone knows it. Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin had no idea about "using the emperor to command the princes". It is said that the Qing Dynasty had been referring to this book from top to bottom to fight, and even the generals of the Qing Dynasty praised "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as good as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and much better than "The Art of War". "Seven-part politics and three-part military" was originally the think tank of Chiang Kai-shek in later generations - Yang Yongtai, who claimed to have the "talent of the Wang Zuo", proposed to deal with the Red Army, but was proposed by Li Yan nearly three hundred years in advance. It can be seen that Li Yan's talent was also at the level of "talent of the Wang Zuo".

After hearing Li Yan's words, Li Zicheng felt that it made sense. He read a lot of political tricks of swaying in books. After the uprising, he used various political skills to play Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, who had played around with him. As for sitting early and late in the position of emperor, Chongzhen was in control of him, and he could not escape this position. It was important not to sit early and late in the position. The key was to sit safely and steadily forever. So Li Zicheng was not only not angry, but smiled. If Chongzhen knew that these people were discussing here, he would continue to hold him on the throne and not let him go, and I don't know what he thought!

After hearing this, Gu Junen felt that it was reasonable. He had strongly advocated that Li Zicheng attack Beijing, but now the development of the situation deduced by Chongzhen would be considered groundless by anyone who was a little rational. It is still possible for others to be afraid of Li Zicheng, and it would make people laugh. He was a person with a very good mind. Now, when he heard these deductions, he was sweating profusely. His original plan was obviously too ideal, and the Qing soldiers would not be polite to Li Zicheng! He had just thought about breaking the world of Beijing before.

, Maybe it is still time to make up for it now, otherwise there will be no redeem for a hundred deaths. So I stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think what Li Yan said is reasonable. I thought that when others were kings, Taizu adopted the strategy of "building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowing down the king" to keep a low profile, and avoiding the big tree attracting wind, so that he finally won the world later. I think this strategy of keeping low profile can be learned from. For the world, it is necessary to claim that the army was sent to Beijing for military advice, and the purpose was to clear the king's side, encourage the whole country to unite the troops of the world, and pacify the Liao and sweep the north. In this way, it can gather the hearts of the people in the world."

Niu Jinxing disagreed with it. He looked at Liu Zongmin, but saw that Liu Zongmin's face became darker and darker, and he became scheming in his heart. He stood up and said, "I think this is not something to do. I believe that everyone here at that time saw Chongzhen's performance last night. Although Chongzhen was captured by me, he should never be underestimated during the banquet. I don't know his heart, but I can conclude that this person is not something in the pool, and what I think is not something we can measure. I am worried that his ambition is still there. The century-legged insect in the Ming Dynasty died and was not stiff, and there are many speculators in the world. I am afraid that if we still respect him as emperor, if this matter is taken by conspirators, it will cause endless harm. The restoration of Yingzong is a lesson from the past, and Your Majesty must not ignore it!" Niu Jinxing said about the restoration of Yingzong, and Li Zicheng couldn't help but change his face.

While speaking, he looked at Li Zicheng's face. Seeing that he became more and more serious, he saw that it had an effect, so he didn't say much.

Liu Zongmin breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the time came, he started to speak: "Lin Quan was a little nerdy. In my opinion, it should be 'seven-point military and three-point political'. Everything must be hard on his fists. If Your Majesty does not ascend the throne, his elder brother will be disappointed. I don't want to call Chongzhen, who was defeated again and again, but only a single mouth left. As for the Qing army, I don't think it's great. My Dashun army is dominating the world. I have never seen any opponent. I just need to cheer up and mobilize troops. The Qing army is coming. If the soldiers come to block the water and cover the soil, he will definitely not be able to get it."

When Li Zicheng first heard Li Yan and Gu Junen's words, he felt that it was indeed worthwhile to keep a low profile and to use the emperor to make the princes. But Niu Jinxing's words were shocking. Chongzhen did not seem to be a good thing. He accidentally caught him sleeping on firewood and tasting his low profile. His hidden secret was played by Chongzhen's hidden secret, and that joke became a big deal. Besides, when he was already emperor, he wanted to let a group of Shaanxi brothers who had been born and die to worship his defeated general Chongzhen. He also felt that everything was inappropriate. Looking back on Li Yan, Gu Junen's words made sense and hesitated for a while.

Seeing that everyone was talking about it, Li Guo also stood up and said, "I don't know how to plan, but I think that the morale of the army is the most important. If Your Majesty calls the emperor but does not ascend the throne, he will respect Chongzhen as the emperor, and I am afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable."

When Song Xiance saw this situation, he knew that Li Yan's suggestions were mostly difficult to adopt. Although Li Yan's suggestions were good, Li Zicheng was not Cao Cao, and Zhu Youjian was not Emperor Xian of Han. It was a technical job to use the emperor to command the princes. It was too difficult to operate, but it would be a bad idea. Therefore, he stood up and said, "According to what I saw in my opinion, the overall strategy of 'seven-part politics and three-part military' is desirable. As for the temporary abdication, it is not necessary. The abdication ceremony should be held as soon as possible. I agree that 'in the absence of absolute certainty in military affairs, we should be very cautious. We can achieve our goals through political means.

Priority is given to political means.’, that is to say, in dealing with the current chaos, we can solve the problem by non-armed means without resorting to force. We must do everything possible to avoid resorting to force. Specifically, for the Tartars, only using force against tit-for-tat, of course, supplemented by strategy is another matter. For Wu Sangui, Zuo Liangyu, and even Zhang Xianzhong, try to use various means and strategies to make them surrender, or not to be enemies with me for a short time, so that our Dashun Army can concentrate its forces to relieve the threat of clearing the army. In this way, Chongzhen is an important piece. If His Majesty wants to play a whole game of big chess, he might as well give Chongzhen some benefits."

When Li Zicheng saw it, he discussed it all over the place. So he summarized the comments: "I have benefited a lot from listening to what you all my dear friends said. Gu thought that Jiexuan mentioned the 'seven-point military, three-point politics' is good. He also has to be strong himself. First of all, we are not afraid of the Tartars. If the Tartars dare to come, we dare to fight! From today on, we will dispatch troops and generals to prepare for a tough battle. Secondly, we will be kind to Chongzhen and give full play to Wu Sangui. Lin Quan spread the news of Chongzhen's abdication to win the hearts of the world. It's settled." Li Zicheng said in his heart that in the end, there are three points on military politics, and seven points on which side of military politics, it is not that three points on which side of three points, and seven points on which side of seven points.

"The emperor is wise." There was a chorus of voice below.

When Liu Zongmin heard that Li Zicheng agreed with his "seven-point military and three-point political", he was very happy, regardless of whether this was really the case. He suddenly remembered the matter of recovering stolen goods and helping money in Xi'an, and said, "Your Majesty, it has been two days since the army entered the capital. No silver was found in Chongzhen's palace. This emperor is too poor. I think the recovery of stolen goods and helping money should start immediately. Otherwise, the morale of the army will be unstable. Besides, if there is no money and food, why should we fight off the Qing army!"

Before the troops were moved, the food and grass were gone first, how could Li Zicheng not understand! I thought Chongzhen was so poor, and he was so embarrassed to be the emperor! I immediately replied: "Then Jiexuan, please arrange it according to the original plan. Li Guo assisted Jiexuan to recover the stolen money and provide money, so be careful not to make trouble too much."

Song Xiance and Li Yan always felt that it was inappropriate to recover stolen money and help pay in Beijing at this time. After recovering stolen money and helping pay, Beijing officials and gentry were forced to do so. I was afraid that the "seven-point politics" he originally advocated would not even have the effect of "three-point politics". But if there was no money, nothing was wrong, let alone preparing for a big battle. The money of the Dashun Army has always been sought after by recovering stolen money and helping pay. Otherwise, Li Zicheng would "not pay food when the King of Chuang came" and would eat and drink whatever he wanted! The two of them wanted to open their mouths, but after thinking about it, they would still stop.
Chapter completed!
