Because of this, the common people were forced to rebel. They rebelled not to overthrow Daming, but to fill their stomachs
(Li Zicheng wanted to negotiate with Chongzhen when he went to the capital, but was rejected by Chongzhen because he split the Northwest)
At this time, most of the Ming Dynasty had lost most of the country. Liaodong, Shandong, Dezhou and other places were occupied by Dong captives, and Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang and other places were occupied by rogue bandits.first launch.. ..
In Sichuan, there is also a Daxi regime, which is completely controlled by Zhang Xianzhong.
Although Jiangnan was still in the hands of Daming, Zhu Youjian only had the capital of the capital in the north, and all the surrounding cities fell.
On the smart map, Shanhaiguan was still in Daming's hands, but Zhu Youjian soon discovered that a red dot was moving there.
Zhu Youjian couldn't help frowning. The red color is the mark of Dongyao. Could it be that Dongyao started to act so many days earlier than historical records?
"Your Majesty, Qinglong Cao Zhengchun is asking to see you in Yuhuatian."
"Yes, let them in."
"obey"
At this time, the Yue girl Aqing reported to Zhu Youjian, Qinglong and others asked to see him, Zhu Youjian nodded, and then the three masters entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
When they saw Zhu Youjian, they all bowed and saluted respectfully:
"Blue Dragon"
"Cao Zhengchun"
"Rain Field"
"See the Emperor"
Zhu Youjian withdrew his thoughts from the smart map and looked at the three of them:
"Free Gift"
"Qinglong, pass on my decree, let Baihu Xuanwu lead two hundred Jinyiwei, all dressed up as fleeing ordinary people, find a way to sneak into Shanhaiguan, be careful not to reveal your identity."
"Humble Job Obedience"
"Yuhuatian, you send people to the south of the Yangtze River, transfer the officials of the Nanjing court, as well as Wu Youke's genius doctor and Yan Yingyuan, the history of Jiangyin's classics, and let them go to Beijing immediately and secretly."
"Humble Job Obedience"
"Also, Cao Huachun mobilized some elites to enter the big towns occupied by the bandits as soon as possible, and assassinate all their leaders."
"obey"
"Qinglong, you lead five hundred brocade guards to enter Datong Mansion in disguise, collect evidence of crimes committed by the eight Shanxi merchants, and raid their homes by the way."
"obey"
After a series of orders were issued, Zhu Youjian looked at Yuhuatian:
"Yuhuatian, what I asked you to do, did it work?"
Only Yu Huatian knew what Zhu Youjian said. Hearing the emperor's question, Yu Huatian hurriedly bowed and saluted:
"Your Majesty, I have cleared all complaints from all parties who tried to get close to the capital to inquire about the news according to your instructions. The news of the defense of the capital will not be spread in a short time."
"Haha, very good, you guys go down."
The three left the Hall of Mental Cultivation as soon as they were ordered. Seeing the backs of the three leaving, Ah Qing couldn't help feeling a little worried, walked up behind Zhu Youjian, and gently tapped him on the back.
"Your Majesty, the current situation has not stabilized. You have sent them away. What if there is no one available in case of an emergency?"
Zhu Youjian smiled and patted A Qingyu's hand:
"It doesn't matter. They took hundreds of people away at most. There are thousands of Jinyiwei and factory guards around me. Suzaku Yuhuatian is still in the capital. When there is really no one to use, isn't there still Ah Qing?"
Shanhaiguan Marshal's Mansion
Wu Sangui was reading a letter, a letter from Dorgon, the regent of the Eastern Captives,
The content of the letter is of course hoping that Wu Sangui can surrender to them.
The rogues assembled hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege the capital. Wu Sangui only had [-] Guanning cavalry in total.
If the other armies could not enter King Jingqin, with Wu Sangui's Ningyuan army, if he wanted to defeat the hundreds of thousands of rogues, it would be obvious that he was hitting a stone with an egg.
So Wu Sangui sent a police officer to inquire about other King Qin's troops. If the other troops did not move, he would definitely delay preserving his strength.
As a result, the other King Qin's troops were advancing slowly on the road, obviously delaying the process, and Tang Tong surrendered to Li Zicheng halfway.
Liu Zeqing from Shandong actually refused to enter Jingqin King on the pretext of falling off the horse and being injured.
Zuo Liangyu's army had the largest number of people, but he did not dare to fight Li Zi, and his march was also dragging his feet, unable to walk a few kilometers a day.
Although several groups of King Qin's army did not enter King Qin in time, they all sent out information to inquire about the capital.
But all the people who came to Beijing to inquire about the news disappeared. These people thought that they were found and killed by the rogues, so they sent another person to continue to inquire.
In fact, Zhu Youjian had already guarded against them by arranging Yuhuatian to secretly send some elite factory guards out of the city quietly.
Try every means to bypass the defense of the rogues, intercept and kill all the complaints on the outside to inquire about the news, and absolutely not let the news of the defense of the capital spread.
Zhu Youjian's move is also to prevent some people from acting on the wind, that is, to prevent them from getting news about the battle to defend the capital.
If they were loyal enough to Daming, they would definitely attack King Jingshiqin at full speed.
If they have their own ghosts in their hearts, they will definitely stall on the road.
Clearing the complaints means that Zhu Youjian is testing them. If it is true as it is said in history, no army will appear in the capital.
Then, the good days of these people are coming to an end, Zhu Youjian will never let them go, and insist on making them disappear from the earth.
Chapter 40 The Sensible Princess
When Wu Sangui was in a dilemma at Shanhaiguan, Dorgon's letter was sent to Shanhaiguan.
Thinking that half of the Ming Dynasty was either occupied by bandits or invaded by Eastern exiles, and that it was only a matter of time before the demise of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui felt even more disturbed.
He convened a few confidants to discuss, and it turned out that these people all supported Wu Sangui to establish himself as king, and he would not surrender to the captives and would not follow Daming's call.
This gave Wu Sangui a headache, and suddenly complained to Laibao:
"Report to the general that the captives are coming. The Regent Dorgon is leading the Eight Banners Army. It is still a day away from Shanhaiguan."
Wu Sangui was taken aback:
