Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 18 The Butterfly Effect, Li Zicheng Enters Beijing
Li Guo was captured alive, Gao Yigong fled in panic after being wounded, and the rebels who besieged the other three city gates also dispersed in panic.

It only took one day and one night to win the battle of defending the city of Ningling, and the casualties of the Ming army were almost negligible. This battle was won very beautifully!
It was determined that the rebels had retreated and fled far away. Only a few soldiers were left patrolling the city wall, and the rest retreated to the city to rest.

Zhou Yuji told how Wang Yi was brave and how he captured Li Guo.

Li Cunming was filled with emotions, gently stroking the scar on Wang Yi's back, and said emotionally: "He is really a good man from the Ming Dynasty! I will go to the imperial doctor who accompanied me to the south, and I must save Wang Yi."

"Your Majesty, do you want to see Li Guo? Besides Li Guo, there are two or 300 captives, how should we deal with them?" Zhou Yuji asked for instructions.

Li Cunming said thoughtfully: "I will not see Li Guo for the time being, and will imprison the prisoners together with him. Tell the soldiers guarding the rebels not to abuse the prisoners, especially Li Guo. Not only should we prevent him from committing suicide, but we should also take care of him with good food and drink." There is still a big use in keeping him alive."

Zhou Yuji took the order to leave, Li Cunming arrived in the hall of the county government office, and the courtiers guarding the other three city gates also returned.

Li Banghua, an old man who seeks the country, said: "Your Majesty, although we have repelled the enemy and achieved a great victory, it is only temporary. Liu Fangliang's [-] troops are approaching Kaifeng, and the rebels will come back soon. We should not take it lightly. .”

"Yes, I also think that when you are not happy, you have to seize the time to prepare the army." Liu Wenbing said, he was mature and steady, and further analyzed the situation.

"The rebel army has suffered a big loss this time, and they will definitely learn their lesson. They must be fully prepared to come back again. What I am most worried about is that the rebel army will bring red cannons to attack the city. more difficult."

Li Cunming said: "My dear friends, I am very pleased that the victory has not gone to your head..."

Before he finished speaking, the system prompt sounded: "Ding, get Li Zicheng's negative emotion value of 5000"

"Ding, get Liu Zongmin's negative emotion value 30000."

What's going on, could it be that Li Zicheng has entered Beijing?
Oops, Liu Zongmin has so much negative emotions. Why are you so excited? Have I dug up your ancestral graves?

When he left the capital and went south, Li Cunming wrote a letter and asked Fan Jingwen to forward it to Li Zicheng.Now that Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin's negative emotion value has been obtained, there is only one explanation, they are reading the letter.

Li Cunming was speechless for a long time, thinking that his time travel had triggered a series of butterfly effects, and Li Zicheng entered Beijing a full month earlier than in history.

Is it a blessing or a curse?
Li Cunming couldn't make a judgment yet, but he knew that the entire situation would be more complicated and more difficult.

Will Wu Sangui surrender to the Qing Dynasty?Can Li Zicheng win the battle of Shanhaiguan?Jiannu's iron cavalry is about to enter the pass to occupy and ravage my great country?

At this time, Liu Fangliang's army, who was coveting in Kaifeng, had become insignificant.

Li Cunming stood up and ordered: "Gong Yonggu, immediately send more smart and capable Jinyiwei to the north to investigate the news. I have a hunch that Li Zicheng has entered Beijing!"

The courtiers were stunned for a moment, and then burst into an uproar.During these days, they have seen the majesty of the emperor coming down to earth many times. Although they don't know how the emperor got the news about the capital, the courtiers firmly believe it.

"I'll do it now." Gong Yonggu left in a hurry.

"My dear friends, the situation in the world is about to change!" Li Cunming stood with his hands behind his back, with a serious expression on his face.

……

Li Zicheng issued an imperial edict on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and immediately rushed to the capital without stopping.Then he got the news that Chongzhen had given up the capital and fled to the south, and he stepped on the horse even more, without making any stops along the way.

Chongzhen was impatient, and so was Li Zicheng. He had to take the capital as quickly as possible, and intercept and kill Chongzhen halfway, so as to stabilize the country.

They were originally supposed to rest in Taiyuan for eight days, but Li Zicheng ordered it to be cancelled, and he was so impatient that he just headed eastward.

Fortunately, Chongzhen's move to the south also brought considerable negative effects. The local officials in the north lost their fighting spirit and surrendered very quickly.They advanced vigorously all the way and encountered only one day of resistance at Ningwuguan.

Historically, the battle at Ningwuguan lasted for more than ten days.Zhou Yuji led his troops to Beijing to protect him, leaving only his wife Liu with two thousand soldiers and horses to guard the pass, so Li Zicheng won easily.

Calculated in this way, it is reasonable for Li Zicheng to arrive in the capital one month earlier.

At dawn on February [-], accompanied by civil and military officials such as Liu Zongmin, Niu Jinxing, and Song Xiance, Li Zicheng, a former postman, rode a tall horse to the imperial city, which symbolized the authority of the feudal empire.

Immediately under the Chengtian sect, Li Zicheng recalled the past with a lot of emotion.He was very excited, and his one eye was shining brightly.

Suddenly, he picked up his bow, put an arrow on it, and shot it at the gate of Chengtianmen.With a whoosh, the feathered arrow flew through the air, nailed to the side of the word "天", and the shaft of the arrow shook violently.

Li Zicheng shook his head and said: "I originally wanted to shoot the word '天', but unfortunately I missed the target."

Military adviser Song Xiance felt a bad premonition for no reason, and frowned.

But Niu Jinxing, the prime minister, flattered: "Your Majesty is mighty, this arrow is well shot. The Zhu family dynasty has always been known as 'following the sky', so let's shoot through its sky and its luck!"

Arriving at the Hall of Martial Heroes, a group of ministers of the Ming Dynasty had knelt here and waited for a long time.Guang Shiheng kowtowed like pounding garlic, shouting long live.

Fan Jingwen glanced at Guang Shiheng fiercely, and held up a letter in his hand: "My lord, before my majesty made his southern tour, he left a letter for you, please read it."

"This is my Emperor Dashun, and I am no longer a great king. You are a subjugated minister, why don't you change your mind, believe it or not, I will kill you?" Liu Zongmin scolded angrily.

"Forgive me for disagreeing with this general. First of all, my Ming Dynasty was not destroyed. The emperor went to Nanjing on his southern tour, and half of the country was still there. Secondly, I, Fan Jingwen, did not want to surrender. It was just that the emperor asked me to hand over a letter before he left. I I have survived so far." Fan Jingwen was neither humble nor overbearing, and his righteousness was awe-inspiring.

Liu Zongmin was about to lose his temper, but Li Zicheng waved his hands and said, "Winning the king and defeating the bandit, this fan surnamed will be hard-spoken. You don't need to be familiar with him. I'm really curious about what the dog emperor Chongzhen wrote in the letter."

Taking the letter and looking at it, the letter is not long and concise, but it can be called the most amazing letter in the history!

"Li Zicheng, I have gone to Nanjing, the battle between us is far from over, maybe it has just begun."

"I admit that the purpose of moving the capital to Nanjing was to escape and save my life. But if you occupy the capital, don't be complacent. Watch out for praying mantises, cicadas and orioles behind you. You must beware of Wu Sangui, and you must beware of Jiannu."

"Don't let Jiannu pick up the leak, don't let the Jiannu pick up the leak, don't let the Jiannu pick up the leak, say the important thing three times!"

"In fact, I left you a big gift, which is Wu Sangui's father, Wu Xiang. Before leaving the capital, I intentionally humiliated Wu Xiang and robbed Wu Sangui's concubine, Chen Yuanyuan. The father and son hated me to death. You have to take advantage of this." , win over the Wu family and his son, and control the Guan Ning Cavalry and Shanhaiguan in their own hands."

"Another thing I want to tell you is that I strangled treacherous officials and tortured and looted their salaries, and got more than 5000 million taels of silver. The civil and military officials in the capital have nothing to squeeze, so you don't need to do anything extra. If there is a real shortage of salaries, there are many in the capital. Shanxi merchants, this group of profiteers who can sell the country for money has a lot of money, go to them and ask for money."

"I'm going to withdraw, so I can take care of myself, bye!"

Li Zicheng and others read this letter written in the vernacular, staring with big eyes. It seems that Chongzhen's cultural level is not high!

"What do you mean by goodbye?" Li Zicheng asked Niu Jinxing.

"It probably means farewell or goodbye. I have never seen this word before." Niu Jinxing said.

Liu Zongmin grabbed the letter paper, read it carefully again, and finally shouted furiously: "The money is gone, Chen Yuanyuan was also taken away by the dog emperor, my money, my woman!"

"I thought Chongzhen had something important to say, so he was just talking nonsense and wasting my time." Li Zicheng disagreed and said with a smile, "Never mind this letter, this is my first time in the Forbidden City and I have to walk around. What an eye-opener.”

Said, turned and left.Niu Jinxing Pidianpidian followed, and Liu Zongmin crumpled up the letter paper and threw it on the ground, cursing while chasing after him.

Song Xiance remained silent, picked up the letter, smoothed it, stood there for a long time, and carefully collected the letter.
