A real man

The Chuang army lost Shanhaiguan and also Beijing.

The only thing that was not lost was the courage to continue fighting against the Qing army.

"The soldiers fought bravely and were not afraid of Jiannu artillery fire. They fought equally."

Li Zicheng murmured to himself, his eyes closed tightly, and his palms opened and closed on the handle of the knife on his waist in response to the sound of cannons in the distance. His somewhat haggard face looked like he was enjoying listening to sweet music.

Even though he knew the sounds of cannons and explosions, most of them were Qing army cannons.

But.

When he thought that he was about to retreat from Beijing in embarrassment and return to Xi'an, he felt particularly nostalgic for the sound of cannons.

It's not that he hasn't roared hysterically and complained, but he understands after these days.

No matter how he vents, he can't change the situation where he has retreated all the way from Shanhaiguan to the current situation where he has almost failed.

The old battalion suffered heavy losses and the soldiers were disloyal. Those Ming troops who had surrendered could still command in front of Shanhaiguan. After retreating from Shanhaiguan, some of them quickly lost contact with the Dashun army.

"Although Jiannu entered the pass, Shun's army is still there. Even if he can't hold the capital and retreats, Jiannu will definitely stop him if he wants to go south to Dashun. On the contrary, it is Wu Sangui. It is estimated that after this, no matter Dashun or Daxi, I will be blocked."

, I dislike him even more."

All this shows that Li Zicheng now hates the Manchus and Wu Sangui to the extreme!

The smile on his face could not be concealed.

He extorted money arbitrarily, and in the huge Beijing, rich and beautiful women were asking for anything, and everyone from the common people to the princes and dignitaries of the past bowed at his feet.

Thinking about it, the slave chief who was already in the capital after chasing the soldiers should have already figured out the current situation of the capital.

I wonder how he feels now?

No matter what Dorgon thought, Li Zicheng retreated.

The capital of Dashun is also in Xi'an.

Going back is nominally not a big problem.

No joke, it is difficult for the Qing army today to find a chair or bench made of more expensive materials in the Forbidden City. All the dragon chairs have been taken away!

"I read some books!"

Unfortunately.

Take advantage of the slave establishment!

Li Zicheng looked towards the Qing army, his smile still radiant and open-minded.

Dashunjun should eat wherever he goes!

There is almost enough food in Beijing, so it’s okay to let you stay as a slave for two days!

This gap from heaven to hell! It’s just going home!!

Thinking about it, Li Zicheng clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into the calluses on his palms.

Preserve yourself to make great plans.

"As commanded."

If the possibility was not too small, Li Zicheng even wanted to give Chongzhen's two sons and one daughter to Nanming, so as to unite Nanming to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

The reason is to have the opportunity to cut Wu Sangui into pieces!

but!

Xingjia trembled when he heard the words, and then he stiffened his neck as before, looking completely dissatisfied, but he responded verbally and said: "This person is treacherous, a snake and a rat, a shameless villain! If it were me in Shanhaiguan, it would be me."

!Either you would rather die than surrender! Or quickly choose a British master and serve him! This is what a man does!"

It's too early to make a loss.

The court painters who came out of the capital still had to paint the portrait of Wu Sangui, the money rat tail, while traveling.

"Stay safe to plan a great plan."

He still had enough power to carry out a second sweep of the capital, and he was able to retreat under the pressure of Jiannu and Wu Sangui, leaving behind a capital that was not an empty shell, but better than an empty shell.

All this is by no means a lie.

Li Zicheng gave an order and all valuable objects in the Forbidden City were swept away!

I can't stand it anymore!

Zhu Youjian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and looked at Ning Guta guard Xingjia, who was tied up and kneeling in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little happy when he saw the slight disdain on his face.

"Yo ho?"

He was determined not to give up Beijing.

He also brought with him the three children left behind by Chongzhen. Each of them was treated like a prince, without any slight or insult. Before retreating, he even contacted the Nanming court, hoping to seek Nanming's treatment of Wu Sangui at the cost of returning Zhu Cijiong, the third son of Emperor Chongzhen.

Species expulsion.

I guess he is now a slave builder like that thief Wu Sangui.

pity

Li Zicheng couldn't help but sneer when he thought of this.

After several months of confrontation, Lao Li almost gave up his position as a condition. He gave him whatever he wanted, including the throne, power, money, and even military pay from Guan Ning's army for half a year.

I changed it to robbery!

At this time, Li Zicheng's smile became a little thicker when he thought that he held almost all the wealth of the entire Ming Dynasty capital, and also took away all the palace officials and a large number of the capital's population.

He received numerous surrendered ministers and soldiers.

"What, you look down on this Wu Sangui?"

You are still undecided.

"Send the order, please withdraw the last two artillery battalions."

Just issue a joint announcement with Dashun saying that this guy will no longer be Han Chinese from now on.

He retreated with Emperor Chongzhen's crown prince, third son, a princess with a broken arm, and everything in the imperial capital.

Destroy the capital of Ming Dynasty.

But looking at the first half of his life, it can be said that his life was full of ups and downs. When he was most desperate, he wore big shackles and wailed in prison. He never thought that he would be able to see the sun tomorrow. He just wanted to die happily, so as not to be like those old people.

Like a prisoner, he was weighed down by big shackles and could not straighten his back for the rest of his life.

In other words, time was of the essence, otherwise Li Zicheng would have wanted to collect the spine beasts from the palaces in the Forbidden City and take them away.

That's it.

This is different now.

Not only did he proclaim himself emperor in Xi'an, he also ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor while still in the capital of the Ming Dynasty!

What a joy!

This isn't over yet.

Although I, Lao Li, live in Beijing for a short time, I am a rebel! I am a bandit!

Also taken away were all the craftsmen and ordnance in the capital.

Although Xingjia was a little embarrassed by being tied up, she still pretended to be calm and unyielding and said: "I have just read Spring and Autumn a few times."

If we wait another month, the troops in front of Shanhaiguan may not even be able to fight Jiannu.

That arrow book really hit the mark.

Now this artillery bombardment lasted for three full days, and the offensive of Jiannu's pursuing troops was completely resolved, and they retreated despite the difficulties.

But at that time, he really couldn't wait any longer.

The prince was bending back to say goodbye, but Li Zicheng stopped him again: "Please prepare King Song and Ding'an's carriage to accompany me, and Princess Kunxing has recovered from her injuries but her vitality is severely weakened. She must also go south with my army."

Take care of her and let the medical officers from the Imperial Medical Office accompany the princess in her carriage."

And because the image of Shanhaiguan's defeat was not revealed much, Li Zicheng still had hundreds of thousands of Ming troops to surrender.

yes.

I have enjoyed the peak of my life these past few months.

The previous capital defense battle was just for this.

Historically, he had no intention of waiting at all, and he had no sincerity towards Wu Sangui.

Li Zicheng waited for it to spread throughout the world.

But after scoffing, Li Zicheng suddenly became enlightened.

After saying these words quietly, he waved his hand, and the bodyguard came over and held his hand.

Although he was speaking in Manchu, the meaning was spot on. Zhu Youjian was amazed by these adjectives and values.

He looked away.

As he said this, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

He has never read Spring and Autumn Period.

But I have listened to The Romance of the Three Kingdoms several times.

Originally, he was illiterate before, but he just listened to Chinese storytellers in Shengjing City, telling the Manchu version of the Three Kingdoms, and selling Manchu manuscripts of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In order to follow the drama, he suddenly learned Manchu, and many other things.

Few Chinese characters

"That's really incredible. Quickly, quickly, take off his rope and give him a seat."
