Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 63 63, Song Xiance suggested withdrawing troops, and Li Zicheng made a decision
Li Zicheng woke up.

When he first woke up, the whole world in front of his eyes was spinning.

Li Zicheng muttered to himself: "Where is this?"

A sound of joy suddenly came from the side.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is awake!"

"Quick, hurry up and notify the adults!"

Soon, a group of people rushed in.

Li Zicheng also regained some energy at this time, only feeling that his mouth was extremely dry: "Water, give me water!"

After finishing two large bowls of water, Li Zicheng asked for another bowl of porridge and drank it straight away.

After doing all this, Li Zicheng raised his head and looked at the courtiers in front of him.

Without exception, these guys all had a very grateful and relieved expression on their faces.

The atmosphere was a little dignified.

Li Zicheng said slowly: "How long have I been in a coma?"

He just vomited blood and didn't have amnesia, so when Li Zicheng said the word coma, Li Zicheng's expression obviously became much more gloomy.

Niu Jinxing said cautiously: "Your Majesty, you have been in a coma for a day and a night."

Although he was mentally prepared, Li Zicheng still paused.

At this moment, everyone could feel the murderous intent emanating from Li Zicheng.

They were even able to clearly know the direction of Li Zicheng's murderous intent, which was Zhu Cihong, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty who wiped out Gao Jie's entire army and even wrote a letter to mock him!
After a while, Li Zicheng let out a sigh of relief and said, "Is there anything new?"

Niu Jinxing said: "Yes, Wu Sangui has led more than 3 Ming troops to the outside of Beijing and set up camp five miles outside our army's Beida camp. It seems that an attack on our army may be launched at any time!"

Li Zicheng was speechless, and there was a sudden silence in the big tent.

If it was half a month ago, no, even a few days ago, Wu Sangui's arrival would not have put such great pressure on these Dashun monarchs present.

As the so-called one-shot, and then decline, three and exhausted.

The Dashun Army started the Northern Expedition from Xi'an in January, and in just two months until the beginning of March, they had occupied all the territory of the Ming Dynasty north of the Yellow River, making Beijing an isolated city.

At that time, everyone in the Dashun Army, including Li Zicheng, felt that this wave of flattening Daming was already as stable as an old dog.

The results of it?The city wall of Beijing City is like that steel plate. No matter how hard Li Zicheng, the tiger, bites, the final result is that the tiger's teeth are all broken.

Liu Zongmin, Li Yan, Liu Fangliang, and now another Gao Jie, the attack on Beijing this time caused Li Zicheng to lose his troops and generals, which can be said to be heartbreaking.

Now, Wu Sangui, who has been hesitating for a long time, has also come outside the capital. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is impossible for Wu Sangui to fall to Li Zicheng's side again.

Li Zicheng raised his head slowly, and said to the many courtiers in front of him, "What's your opinion?"

The courtiers all turned their eyes to Niu Jinxing, but Niu Jinxing remained motionless, watching his nose, nose and heart, as if he had become a statue.

Another military adviser, Song Xiance, gritted his teeth and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, at this point, it is impossible to conquer the capital in a short time. The soldiers have been besieging the city for a long time and failed again and again, and their morale has dropped. At the bottom of the valley, coupled with the fact that Wu Sangui may attack the capital at any time, the situation of our army is already critical.

It's better to withdraw from the capital first and find a place to rest for a while.Now the advantage is still with me, as long as I plan well, I will conquer this Beijing city in the future. "

What Niu Jinxing dared not say was finally spoken by Song Xiance.

The other ministers had obviously already made up their minds, and they all spoke in agreement.

"What Song Junshi said is very true."

"Your Majesty, let's take a rest first."

"Your Majesty, let's come again next time!"

Li Zicheng listened, and suddenly smiled.

"Do you think I will withdraw my troops?"

There was a sudden silence in the big tent.

Li Zicheng looked around at everyone present, and his eyes fell on Niu Jinxing.

Niu Jinxing dodged his eyes, not daring to look at Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng's eyes turned to Song Xiance again.

Song Xiance said calmly: "I think His Majesty will withdraw the troops."

Li Zicheng said: "Why?"

Song Xiance said: "Because Your Majesty has fought with Daming for many years, and this is not the first time he has failed."

This is almost exposing Li Zicheng's scars.

When Li Zicheng first raised his army, they were just a group of refugees in the true sense. Any decent army could beat Li Zicheng to the ground. narrow escape.

Failure was the main theme in the early days of Li Zicheng's army. Almost all the Ming generals sent by Chongzhen to suppress the uprising of the peasant army defeated Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng laughed out loud when he heard this.

"Mr. Song, you are right. This is indeed not the first time I have failed. Perhaps, this will not be the last time either.

But so what?Through repeated failures, I have grown from a grassroots person who could not survive to the current Emperor of Dashun.

I have never been afraid of failure, because I know that as long as this Great Ming continues to decay, then my Dashun can still gain endless power! "

Li Zicheng's words obviously boosted the morale of all the ministers of Dashun present, causing many people to raise their heads with hopeful expressions on their faces.

That's right, isn't it a failure? Dashun has experienced fewer failures?
Li Zicheng stood up, although his body was shaking a little, but he stabilized immediately.

His eyes were bright, and he said in a deep voice: "Although I really don't want to admit it, but I have to admit it, this time, we are really screwed!
However, what we planted is not worthless.We have already let everyone in the world know that this Great Ming is now on the verge of dying.

Maybe I can't defeat it this time, but I can do it the second time, the third time, and more times!
One day, I will sit on the throne of the imperial palace, use the head of that old boy Chongzhen as a chamber pot, and cut that bastard Zhu Cihong to pieces! "

After uttering such impassioned words, Li Zicheng was silent for a moment, and then spoke again.

"Then... pass on my decree, starting tomorrow, the entire army will withdraw from Beijing and go south to Gu'an!"

After all, Li Zicheng chose to withdraw his troops.

He had to withdraw because he had no chance of winning.

Because...that man.

After listening to Li Zicheng's words, all Dashun officials present also breathed a sigh of relief, and said in unison: "Your Majesty is holy!"

For them, this attack on Beijing was like a nightmare.

Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang, Li Yan, Gao Jie...Which Dashun minister will be next?No one can say no.

In the past few days, rumors have even begun to spread among the army, saying that the dragon aura in the city of Beijing has not dissipated, that Daming is destined to die, and if the Dashun army continues to go against the sky, it will be counterattacked by the law of heaven.

Some people didn't take it seriously, and some people were worried after hearing it.

But anyway, everyone agrees with Li Zicheng's decision.

Now, I can finally leave this ghostly place in Beijing!
