Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 33 I will never let history repeat itself

early morning.

Daming capital.

Golden Palace.

Chen Fan and Chongzhen are making final battle arrangements to ensure nothing goes wrong.

"Brother Xian, the personnel and weapons have been arranged, and the eldest brother can't wait to show the intruder how powerful he is."

Chongzhen's face turned red as he spoke.

This is a sign of overexcitement.

At the thought of finally being able to fight back, Chongzhen couldn't help being excited all over.

When Li Zicheng led an army to besiege the city a few days ago, although Chongzhen was a little worried.

But not too desperate.

In Chongzhen's mind, with the 15 soldiers of the three major battalions in the capital, it is easy to defend the capital.

The Donglu cavalry are said to be invincible, and they are far from being comparable to the weak peasant armies of the bandits.

When even 10,000+ elites like Donglu surrounded the capital.

Unable to attack for a long time, he finally left.

Not to mention the old, weak, sick and disabled like the intruder.

Therefore, for the siege of thieves.

Chongzhen didn't care at first, thinking that the intruders could only lay siege for a few months and then leave on their own when they found that the capital could not be captured.

But the result was far from what Chongzhen expected.

Chongzhen found out that he was wrong.

When the intruders made their first tentative attack on the city, Chongzhen asked the soldiers from the Beijing camp to guard the city gate.

As a result, Chongzhen was shocked to find out.

Where there are 15 soldiers in the Beijing camp, at most [-] soldiers are available.

Most of the [-] soldiers were emaciated, sallow and emaciated, and looked malnourished at first sight.

How can such soldiers resist the hundreds of thousands of thieves outside the city?

really.

After the intruder made a tentative attack on the city, although the intruder was repelled.

But it also exposed the weakness of the capital's strength.

Li Zicheng saw the opportunity right away, and took advantage of this to force Chongzhen to negotiate.

Let Chongzhen decree to recognize his status as Dashun State, and cede the northwest land to him to rule.

If Chongzhen agreed, he would retreat.

If he disagrees, Li Zicheng will lead the army to attack the city immediately until the capital is broken.

Seeing the weakness of the capital, Li Zicheng threatened Chongzhen and forced him to submit.

As for directly attacking the city with a large army, Li Zicheng hadn't figured it out yet.

Attacking such the largest city in Ming Dynasty would definitely result in countless casualties.

As for breaking the capital, Li Zicheng never thought about it.

In the history of Ming Dynasty, no one has ever been able to break through the capital.

The most dangerous time was when Mongolia led an army of one million to besiege the capital.

Even such an army did not break through the capital.

and so.

Li Zicheng had no hope that his army of more than [-] peasants could break through the capital.

This time Li Zicheng led an army of more than [-] to besiege the city, mainly to show Chongzhen his power.

Let Chongzhen feel that he, Li Zicheng, is now capable of wrestling with Daming.

Threats forced Chongzhen to recognize his status as Li Zicheng.

As for attacking the city gate, it was only a tentative attack to put pressure on Chongzhen.

"By the way, big brother, make sure people keep an eye on the city gate."

Seeing Chongzhen's confident expression, Chen Fan took the opportunity to remind him that he might capsize in the gutter.

Chongzhen looked at Chen Fan suspiciously.

"Are you optimistic about the city gate?"

Chen Fan nodded and explained:

"Brother, you don't know something. According to the original historical records, it took Li Zicheng two months to breach the city gate. Brother, how do you think Li Zicheng breached the city gate?"

Chongzhen frowned, thought for a while, but still had no clue.

Looking at Chen Fan suspiciously, he asked:

"Brother can't guess, how did the intruder break through the city gate?"

Chongzhen was not too shocked by the fact that Li Zicheng broke through the city gate in two months.

Before Chongzhen learned something from Chen Fan.

According to the original historical track, after Li Zicheng broke through the city gate, Chongzhen would hang himself on Meishan to die for his country.

When Chongzhen knew this, he was immediately frightened and turned pale.

Fortunately, Taizu blessed him and sent immortals to help him.

Don't let the tragedy of Daming repeat itself.

Chen Fan didn't hold back any more, and said directly:

"The city gate was breached from the inside. Li Zicheng instigated some people to open the city gate and surrender at a critical moment. Li Zicheng's army broke through the city gate with ease."

When Chongzhen heard the words, he was furious and said:

"Do you know who are these people who eat inside and out? Brother wants to punish their nine clans."

The reason why Chongzhen was so angry was that he didn't expect that there would be someone who would cheat on the inside and outside, colluding with the enemy and traitorous to the country.

Chen Fan comforted:
"Brother, don't be so angry, wait until the threat outside the city is resolved, and then deal with these villains who defected to the enemy and betrayed the country."

After thinking about it, Chen Fan continued:
"But brother, don't worry, two months is still far away, and Li Zicheng hasn't arranged an internal response yet for this meeting."

"Besides, now that I have a younger brother, everything is different. Now who in the capital doesn't know that there are immortals descending to help you, elder brother, and who else is stupid enough to be Li Zicheng's internal support. After all, in everyone's eyes, immortals are omnipotent. Raiding an army of thieves is trivial."

"So, brother, don't worry too much, you just need to pay attention to the people who guard the city."

After hearing this, Chongzhen was obviously relieved.

Chongzhen was about to say something.

I saw Wang Chengen rushing in from outside the hall.

"My lord, the negotiators sent by the thieves have been asking the slaves for several days. How is your majesty thinking? They said that as long as your majesty agrees to Li Zicheng's request, they will withdraw their troops and promise that they will never invade the capital."

Wang Chengen knelt on the ground and reported carefully.

After all, this request is too outrageous, and the emperor will definitely be furious when he hears it.

Wang Chengen was afraid that Chongzhen would vent his anger on him.

really.

Chongzhen was furious after hearing this.

"Hmph, what audacity, I just borrow someone else's head to let the intruder see my answer."

The negotiators arranged by Li Zicheng had already entered the palace long before.

And put forward the request to Chongzhen to share the world.

The Central Plains belonged to Chongzhen, and the northwest region belonged to Li Zicheng.

When Chongzhen first heard this request, he trembled with anger, wishing he could pull the negotiating envoy out of the hall and behead him on the spot.

But Chongzhen still retained a sliver of sanity.

If the envoy is killed, the negotiation will break down, and the army of thieves will immediately attack the city.

After seeing the lifeless morale of the soldiers, Chongzhen gave up hope on these [-] soldiers.

Therefore, Chongzhen did not dare to execute the negotiating envoy, so he could only delay it first.

Then find a way to solve the crisis outside the city.

Fortunately, God still favors him.

When Chongzhen was about to compromise, God sent an immortal to help him.

With Chen Fan's help, Chongzhen is now full of confidence.

For Li Zicheng's threat of persecution, Chongzhen considered it a disgrace, and he wanted to return it and kill the Quartet.

Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen on the ground, and said majesticly:

"Big companion, you drag the intruder's envoy to the city wall and behead him, so that the intruder understands that I am the Son of Heaven and cannot be violated."

When Wang Chengen heard the words, he immediately took orders and went out.

Seeing Wang Chengen walking away, Chongzhen turned his head to look at Chen Fan, smiled and said:

"My dear brother, let's go, accompany elder brother to watch the battle on the city wall, and see how the intruder escaped under the attack of the grenade."

Chen Fan also smiled and nodded.

　Can executions be suspended if death row inmates request organ donation during executions?
　　God's comment: No, the opportunity has passed.The bailiff will ask a few months in advance, and the food will be better after agreeing.
