Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 112 Chapter 112, Daming wins and sacrifices loyalty and panic, the two generals in Nanjing change their faces
Sichuan, Wanxian.

Above the city, countless flags fluttered, with a large character "West" on it.

A man with a crown on his head and sharp eyes stood on the top of the city, staring at the west in ecstasy.

He is the same name as Li Zicheng, and established the "Daxi" regime, another big gangster in Ming Dynasty——Zhang Xianzhong!

There was a sound of footsteps, and a young man full of heroic spirit quickly came to Zhang Xianzhong, and said respectfully: "Father, according to the information just obtained, Jiannu has withdrawn from Shanhaiguan, and it is said that the losses are very heavy!"

Zhang Xianzhong hummed, and said slowly: "It's fine for these Jian slaves to run rampant outside the customs. It's unreasonable to think about invading our Chinese Han people's land every day! Dingguo, when we unify the world in the future, this king will definitely Lead the army out of the customs and destroy the Liaodong Jiannu!"

The young man is none other than Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son, Li Dingguo. (Li Dingguo was adopted by Zhang Xianzhong and changed his surname to Zhang. This book is still called Li Dingguo for the convenience of memory.)
Li Dingguo's young face was full of spirits, and he said: "Back then, Zhuge Kongming had donated to Longzhong and assisted Uncle Liu Huang to enter Sichuan to establish a great Han. Now that my father follows the same path as the emperor, he will surely be able to restore the glory of the Han!"

Zhang Xianzhong laughed loudly: "Big man? No, this king doesn't like to be second to others. In the world in the future, there will only be this king's Daxi!"

Li Dingguo said: "When will the father continue to march? We have stayed in Wanxian for more than three months now, and the soldiers are a little anxious."

Zhang Xianzhong smiled and said: "There is no need to march, let's go back."

Li Dingguo was taken aback, and said, "Father, why is this?"

Zhang Xianzhong let out a long breath, and said slowly: "Sichuan...that is not a good place. How many times have we been here? That dog of Daming! The reason why this king stays here is originally to wait until Li Zicheng breaks through the capital. If that happens, Daming will have no leader, and Sichuan will naturally fall without a fight!

Unexpectedly, Li Zicheng, such a waste, not only couldn't even fight an empty city, he even suffered a defeat in Gu'an, and finally couldn't even defend Baoding, so he had to go back to Kaifeng on the south bank of the Yellow River.Hehe, think about it, when the news reaches Sichuan, the people here are all screaming, vowing to resist us rebels for Daming.By the way, there is also that old lady Qin Liangyu's white pole army, she is not that trash Zuo Liangyu! "

Li Dingguo couldn't help being silent when he heard the words, and he said after a long time: "So this Sichuan...is it really impossible to win?"

Zhang Xianzhong sighed: "Don't look at us for so many years, but Daming is still the same Daming, and still hasn't collapsed. Why? It's because of this damn Daming, it still has people's hearts! This king can conquer the two lakes, and can defeat Zuo. Liangyu's waste, that's because the two lakes are flat, Zuo Liangyu has no way to lead the army.

But what about Sichuan?This place has high mountains and high mountains, the residents are tough and good at fighting, and the old lady Qin Liangyu sits in the town, the hearts of the people and the army have not yet dispersed. If this king really fights this Sichuan, I am afraid that the whole Sichuan will be slaughtered! "

Li Dingguo was taken aback: "Slaughter the whole of Sichuan? This... Father, think twice."

Zhang Xianzhong said indifferently: "This king has already made up his mind, and he will return to Hunan tomorrow. Zuo Liangyu, that waste, he is still thinking about copying the king's back road after this king enters Sichuan. Originally, Sichuan was the guard of the natural danger, and the two lakes It's fine to give it to him, but now... hehe, this king will definitely kill Zuo Liangyu, a good-for-nothing, take over the two lakes and Jiangxi, and then go south to Guangdong and Guangxi, so that the southern part of Ming Dynasty will be in trouble!"

Li Dingguo nodded, and said earnestly: "The great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang took the whole world from the south and the north. With the power of the father, as long as Huguang, Jiangxi and Yungui are taken, he can also dominate the world in the future!"

Zhang Xianzhong laughed loudly: "Unify the world? What this king wants is not to become the next Chen Youliang! By the way, you can send someone to inquire about that His Royal Highness Zhu Cihong, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty."

"Zhu Cihong?" Li Dingguo looked puzzled.

Zhang Xianzhong nodded solemnly: "Remember, this person will definitely become our Daxi's strong enemy in the future! If you can defeat him, there is really hope for Daxi to rule the world!"

The next day, Zhang Xianzhong's troops, who had been in Wanxian with great fanfare and ready to attack at any time, retreated eastward and returned to Hubei.

At the same time, Nanjing.

As we all know, the Ming Dynasty had two capitals, Beijing, also known as Shuntianfu, was the true capital, and Nanjing was the founding capital and the current accompanying capital, also known as Yingtianfu.

After Zhu Di, the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, chose to move his capital to Beijing, Nanjing City still left a set of six departments and a central system. According to later generations, it can be called the "shadow court".

At this moment, a quarrel is breaking out in this small shadow court.

Zhang Shenyan, Minister of the Ministry of Households and Minister of the Ministry of Officials in Nanjing, patted the table and said angrily: "Shi Kefa has led a lone army to the north for many days. He has won many battles and recovered many cities in Shandong. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty and an important minister of the Nanjing court, but I can only quarrel here every day, I don't know why it is reasonable to send troops to help Master Shi Qin!"

What Zhang Shenyan was targeting was none other than the two military officials sitting in front of him, Lufeng governor Ma Shiying and Ning Nanbo Zuo Liangyu.

Ma Shiying sighed, and said: "Zhang Shangshu, it's not that I don't want King Qin, it's that Fengyang, Luzhou, can't even protect itself, what do you ask me to use to recruit troops to buy King Qin? You are the Minister of the Household Department, If you can get the Nanjing household department to come up with money, I will immediately go north to serve as king, how about it?"

Hearing this, Zhang Shenyan couldn't help being very annoyed and said, "The money and food are going to be transported to the north for the capital, how can they be spent freely?"

Ma Shiying spread his hands, and said: "But it's not possible to transport to Beijing now! You should recruit troops and horses for me first, and then I can send troops to Qin Wang. Don't you want to put Qin Wang as the most important thing?"

Ma Shiying's rhetorical question made Zhang Shenyan dumbfounded.

It's not that Zhang Shenyan is unwilling to give out food and money, but he knows very well in his heart that even if these things are given to Ma Shiying, Ma Shiying will never go north half a step apart from recruiting troops and buying horses to expand his power!

So Zhang Shenyan turned to look at another general who controlled the military power: "Uncle Ning, you don't have no soldiers like Governor Ma, why are you still unwilling to go north to serve the king?"

Ning Nanbo Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Menggeng father and son are now stationed in Wuchang, claiming to have as many as 20 soldiers.

Zuo Liangyu, with white beard and hair and an old-fashioned appearance, said slowly: "Soldiers? Of course there are soldiers. But if I send troops to the north, there will be no one to guard Hubei and Jiangxi. At that time, if Zhang Xianzhong He left Sichuan suddenly and went down the Yangtze River, and he will reach Nanjing in less than a month. I would like to ask, what will Nanjing do to deal with Zhang Xianzhong at that time?"

Zhang Shenyan choked again, and said angrily, "King Xianqin, let's talk about other things!"

Zuo Liangyu laughed and asked calmly: "Zhang Shangshu, you want King Qin, but look at the other ministers and ministers here, are they willing?"

Zhang Shenyan turned his head to look at other colleagues, but found that the group of ministers and servants all lowered their heads, no one looked at Zhang Shenyan, and no one dared to stand up to support Zhang Shenyan.

Seeing this, Zhang Shenyan couldn't help feeling disheartened, and sighed: "Your father is suffering, but as a subject, you can't do anything, Zhang Shenyan is really incompetent!"

At this moment, a general suddenly rushed into the hall and shouted loudly: "My lords, the news just came, the imperial court has won, great victory!"

Everyone present was stunned.

Zhang Shenyan suddenly stood up and asked in disbelief: "What kind of victory?"

The general unfolded the information in front of him and said loudly: "On April 1th, the British Duke defeated Li Zicheng in Baoding, and Li Zicheng's entire army was wiped out. Only less than 21 people escaped with him across the Yellow River and continued to recruit troops in Kaifeng. April [-], His Royal Highness led the army in Shanhaiguan to reject the establishment of slaves, killed the slaves and embroidered red flags. The deputy governor, Aixinjueluo Mandahai, was in front of the battle and beheaded over ten thousand slaves. Go back to Shenyang!"

These two news exploded directly like a bolt from the blue, making all the Nanjing officials present stupefied.

After a while, Zhang Shenyan was the first to jump up, laughing loudly: "That's great, it's really great, Da Ming still has hope, Da Ming still has hope!"

All of a sudden, there was joy in the lobby.

Ma Shiying and Zuo Liangyu looked at each other, and they both sensed the panic in each other's eyes.

Originally, these two people thought that Li Zicheng should be able to break through Beijing, and that Ming Dynasty was finished, so they delayed in every possible way and refused to send troops to serve the king.

But now...

Ma Shiying jumped up suddenly, rubbed his fists, and said loudly: "Everyone, Your Majesty is in trouble right now. As subjects, we should serve as kings! The old man will lead [-] soldiers under his command to the north tomorrow, what do you think?"

Not to be outdone, Zuo Liangyu blows his gray beard into the air, and said in a deep voice, "Zuo Mou also agrees with Governor Ma's words very much. Zuo Mou decided to let my son Zuo Menggeng lead [-] soldiers and horses to go north tomorrow, and we must help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince completely defeated Li Zicheng, and made the world brighter!"

The two were impassioned, as if they were willing to die loyally for Daming.

The officials in Nanjing who were present were stunned for a moment, then their expressions began to change, and they all applauded.

"The two lords are indeed loyal to the country, and they are really role models for my courtiers of the Ming Dynasty!"

"I am not talented, but I am willing to do my part for King Qin's affairs!"

"Be sure to let Your Majesty and His Royal Highness know the loyalty of my officials in Nanjing!"

Seeing the excitement of this group, Zhang Shenyan, who was unanimously elected by everyone to preside over King Qin's affairs, opened his mouth, a little speechless.

In Zhang Shenyan's heart at this moment, in addition to the joy of knowing that nothing happened in Beijing, there is also a kind of sadness and confusion hidden in his heart.

Can such a Daming really continue to persevere?
In this world, is there anyone who can save this decayed, old, weak and faltering Ming Dynasty?
Zhang Shenyan took a deep breath, tried his best to get rid of all the negative thoughts in his mind, and said in a deep voice, "In that case, then, my lords, let me wait to discuss the specific matters of the dispatch of troops!"

In any case, save Daming first!
