Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 123 As long as you die earlier than me, the wonderful decree

Atlantis, Chengdu.

When Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui were still pacifying Shaanxi and Gansu, Zhang Xianzhong had already seen through the strategic intentions of the Qing court and understood that sooner or later the Tartars would attack Shu, so he made two-handed preparations.

First, Sun Kewang was sent to lead the army northward to fight for Hanzhong.Hanzhong was in the hands of Li Zicheng's old subordinate He Zhen. He Zhen was very capable and withstood Sun Kewang's attack, causing Daxi's army to return without success.

Unable to take down the Hanzhong area, the door to the north of Shu was wide open.Feeling uneasy, Zhang Xianzhong decided to leave Chengdu and go south to a safer place.

Before leaving, Zhang Xianzhong took away all the gold and silver treasures accumulated over the years, and the transport ships sailed along the mighty Minjiang River.Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the "Tiger Beach" area of ​​Jiangkou Town, Pengshan County, they were jointly raided by Yang Zhan and Qin Liangyu, and most of the thousand ships of gold, silver and jewelry sank into the river with the fleet.

In desperation, Zhang Xianzhong turned around and returned to Chengdu.These two battles made the Daxi regime more unstable and the situation more cramped and unfavorable. Zhang Xianzhong was already suspicious and cruel, and now it became even worse.

After returning to Chengdu, the Daxi army strengthened the monitoring and control of Chengdu, and soldiers patrolled day and night.The residents in the city are under the strict surveillance of officers and soldiers, and they are easily blamed.

There is a thatched hut under one of the city walls, where a poor couple lives.Late that night, the man drank and talked non-stop, with a lot of complaints in his words.

The woman was frightened, and reprimanded: "Drinking a few mouthfuls of cat urine, it's like an overturned urine jar, beeping endlessly. Zhang's parents and Li's family are talking nonsense, be careful that the officers and soldiers will catch you!"

As soon as the words were finished, two soldiers broke into the thatched shed, arrested the couple, and sent them to prison for the crime of making dissatisfied remarks.

When Zhang Xianzhong heard about this while chatting with the officials, he laughed and said, "Okay, okay! Listen, what he said, 'Zhang's parents, Li's family is short', clearly meant my parents, Li Zicheng's family is short! Then A husband and wife are good citizens, and they will be released with a reward."

The officials couldn't laugh or cry, so they had to do so.

Ever since Li Zicheng proclaimed himself emperor in Xi'an, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhang Xianzhong's temperament had changed drastically, becoming more moody and chattering.

Zhang Xianzhong often compares himself with Li Zicheng, and often asks the officials around him who is better between him and Li Zicheng.

Anyone who praises Zhang Xianzhong and belittles Li Zicheng will be rewarded, but if he accidentally shows a hesitant expression, he will be killed immediately.

Back then, when the Peasant Army first started an uprising, Zhang Xianzhong's status, fame, and strength were all higher than Li Zicheng's, and he once hoped to become the leader of the Peasant Army.

But somehow, Li Zicheng came from behind and became King Chuang and Emperor, with a vast territory.And he, Zhang Xianzhong, was gradually inferior to Li Zicheng, and once had to obey Li Zicheng's orders.

Especially when Dashun established the regime in Xiangyang, Zhang Xianzhong also established the Daxi regime in Wuchang. Li Zicheng wrote a letter to criticize and intimidate Zhang Xianzhong.

Whenever he thinks of these things, Zhang Xianzhong is really unbalanced.Li Zicheng founded the country and proclaimed himself emperor, and his country name was Dashun. Zhang Xianzhong also founded his country and proclaimed himself emperor, with his country name Daxi.

In August, Dashun fell to the country, and the news of Li Zicheng's death in Jiugong Mountain reached Chengdu. Zhang Xianzhong held a big banquet in the name of seeing off his old enemy Li Zicheng.

During the banquet, Zhang Xianzhong talked and laughed happily, and he was very happy. In front of the civil and military ministers, he told many secret jokes about Li Zicheng.

Zhang Xianzhong was deeply drunk, and laughed loudly: "I have been fighting with Li Zicheng for more than ten years, and I am both of mud-legged backgrounds, so don't pretend to be big! Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng, as long as you live better than me and die earlier than me, It's no big deal. Drink, let go of the drink, Li Zicheng is dead and no luck drinking, I will drink for him!"

The officials and generals who had followed Zhang Xianzhong for many years were well aware of his temper and kept silent.

However, Zhang Dashou, the first number one scholar in Daxi Kingdom, believed that he was favored by Zhang Xianzhong recently, and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, once Li Zicheng dies, you will be invincible in the world!"

Zhang Xianzhong's face full of smiles suddenly turned cold, his dark yellow face covered with black air, he stared at Zhang Dashou and said:

"Heh, you donkey bastard, you can talk a lot. I like you very much. You go to the underworld to meet Li Zicheng for me, so that he won't feel lonely. Come on, kill him!"

Zhang Dashou was dumbfounded, before he knelt down and begged for mercy, his head was lost.

After killing Zhang Dashou, Zhang Xianzhong laughed heartily, then wept bitterly, and then vomited violently, his beard was covered with vomit and blood, and he looked like a crazy lunatic.

When I vomited enough, I continued to drink, and when I drank enough, I laughed, cried, and then vomited again.

After tossing like this for a whole night, no one dared to persuade him, for fear of accidentally causing death.

Historians study Zhang Xianzhong, and many people tend to think that he had mental problems in his later years.In today's words, since I got a neurosis, my whole person is much more energetic than before!
……

In late October, Song Xiance arrived in Chengdu, first to meet Li Dingguo, and then Li Dingguo took him to meet Zhang Xianzhong.

Entering the hall, Song Xiance frowned when he smelled the smell of wine rising from the sky.

Zhang Xianzhong was lying on the dragon couch, drunk and unconscious.Li Dingguo walked over and shouted softly: "Your Majesty, former Dashun military advisor Song Xiance has come to see you!"

After shouting several times in a row, Zhang Xianzhong woke up moaning, rubbed his temples and asked, "Who do you think is here?"

"Song Xiance."

"Aha, it's old Song, a fortune teller!" Zhang Xianzhong sat up, looked at Song Xiance with drunken eyes, and said with a smile.

"Old Song, I still remember you, donkey bastard. Back then, you spread the prophecy of 'Eighteen Sons of God's Artifact' everywhere, raised Li Zicheng's worth, and fooled many people."

"What's going on now, Li Zicheng is dead, he owns a goddamn artifact!"

Song Xiance said: "Your Majesty, let's not talk about the past. The grass people came to see you in order to prevent your Majesty from repeating Li Zicheng's mistakes! The Tartars are staring at Shanxi and Gansu. Do you want your Majesty to sit and wait for death? The Tartars are cruel and violent. , and the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, His Majesty asks himself if he is the opponent of the Tartars?"

Zhang Xianzhong said frankly: "I don't have much ability, I still have self-knowledge, I'm not as proud and arrogant as Li Zicheng. I also want to run away, but where should I go?"

"Return to the Ming Dynasty..."

Before Song Xiance could finish speaking, Zhang Xianzhong jumped up and shouted strangely: "Unexpectedly, your thick-browed and big-eyed Song Xiance also betrayed the revolution... Hey, what's wrong with your eyes, are you blind?"

Song Xiance explained the ins and outs of poking his blind eyes, and said: "Ever since I became blind, I can see more clearly than ever before, and my heart is bright. After Emperor Chongzhen moved south, his behavior changed greatly, and he has become a hero. Master style. To resist the Tartars, only Chongzhen can do it!"

"Li Zicheng didn't surrender to Chongzhen, and I didn't surrender either! Blind Song, don't worry. For the sake of our friendship in the past, I want to drink. I will drink enough with you, but if you keep making noise, I will cut you. Take your meat as food and drink."

Song Xiance was not afraid, and was about to continue persuading, when suddenly someone came to report: "Your Majesty, General Liu Jinzhong did not listen to dissuasion, sent troops without authorization, and went to attack Hanzhong again, but was defeated."

"What? Raised by a donkey!"

Zhang Xianzhong was furious, and dictated the imperial decree on the spot: "The Emperor Chengyun, the edict said, our father told you not to go to Hanzhong, you insisted on going to Hanzhong, and now you have lost a lot of soldiers and horses. Donkey balls, go into your mother's bed. "

When Song Xiance heard such a vulgar and filthy imperial decree, he almost spat out old blood, thinking that Zhang Xianzhong still had the same virtue and hadn't changed at all.
