Chapter 174: Li Zicheng has entered the examination room
There is only 200 miles between the capital and Tianjin, and it is only 30 miles to Tongzhou. The journey took only one-seventh of the journey. Emperor Chongzhen and his party were far from resting at peace, Li Zicheng was not anxious at all.
Because Emperor Chongzhen successfully "escaped" the day before he led his army to the capital, from that moment on, he realized that he could not get the most perfect fruit. Even if he sent a large army to chase Chongzhen and his party, he also quickly defeated Zheng Zhilong's blockade. However, Zheng Zhilong was defeated so badly that he still had the ability to escape by surrounding Emperor Chongzhen and his son.
As long as Emperor Chongzhen could arrive at Tianjin, he would not be able to prevent Emperor Chongzhen from going south.
Because Yuan Yuzong, the deputy envoy of Tianjin Army Preparation, had already sent him a secret message, but Zheng Zhilong's fleet had arrived on the sea route, and the troops of Denglai and Shen Tingyang were accompanying him. At this moment, not to mention that Yuan Yuzong, the deputy, had lost control, even Feng Yuanyang had to follow the orders of the Zheng family.
Yuan Yuzong and Li Zicheng were fellow villagers in Guanzhong. They were arrested by Li Zicheng on the way to take office. Because the official reputation was not bad, Li Zicheng did not kill him, but instead replaced him very much. He just kept his mother Lei. Yuan Yuzong had long been a pawn by Li Zicheng in the Ming court.
Therefore, Li Zicheng was not in a hurry to use the old camp's elite cavalry to chase and fight Zheng Zhilong to death.
The latter was his old capital for refusing to suppress the world. If he could not capture Emperor Chongzhen, he would fight with Zheng Zhilong to the death and lose a lot of his old capital. Li Zicheng would have suffered a lot.
No matter how many Ming court officials were captured or how much gold, silver and wealth they had seized, it would not make up for his losses.
So, let Bai Guangen and the surrendered troops first touch Zheng Zhilong's bad luck. There is no need to fight with him, but it is always feasible to entangle people, right?
Bai Guangen, Ma Ke and Tang Tong are also veterans. People who fight old wars are not easy to win, but it is always easy to entangle people.
As long as Chongzhen and his group slowed down, the opportunity for Li Zicheng to be the main force of the fifth camp will come.
Of course, Bai Guangen and the others knew that surrendering generals had no human rights, and could still keep wealth and honor and the basic foundation of their troops. Li Zicheng was already generous. The three of them bowed their heads to lead the troops, turned around and left the imperial front, and returned to the team to order their troops.
That's a redundant word and you dare not talk nonsense.
The three led their troops to run south, bypassed the capital and then rushed east. Bai Guangen and the other two rushed to the southwest corner of the outer city first and stopped, watching the soldiers and horses coming towards this side. The three-man coalition also had 30,000 people, and the team was vast.
Tang Tong sat on the back of the horse and looked back. Li Zicheng's imperial guard had already headed north from Fucheng Gate.
Fuchengmen is close to the dynasty, but its reputation is not good. Li Zicheng entered Yanjing City and had to go to Deshengmen to enter the north.
The imperial guards head north, and it seems that they are going straight into the imperial city.
"Oh..." He sighed, his face full of inexplicable complexity.
Not long ago, he was responsible for the high hopes of Emperor Chongzhen, leading his troops from the capital to Juyongguan. In just ten days, he was about to lead his troops to pursue Chongzhen for the new emperor. The changes were really upside down.
Bai Guangen and Ma Ke also had fluctuations on their faces. The two had also received great kindness. If they could, they would not be willing to be traitors.
This feeling of being inferior and being discriminated against and ridiculed is too bad.
But the situation is better than that of others.
"Forget it. Emperor Dashun is pretty good. It's been half a year, brother, I can still lead the troops." Bai Guangen, the first of the three, said this.
"Just talking about this mind and this grandeur, there is no reason why Emperor Dashun does not become an emperor."
Not to mention Emperor Chongzhen, who was extremely suspicious, even Zheng Zhilong, had already figured out Bai Guangen in half a year when encountering such a thing. Who knew what this Emperor Dashun thought, and even asked Bai Guangen to leave a basic foundation.
Tang Tong and Ma Ke are all soldiers like Wu Sangui, and they are more precious than their lives. Although they have been angry these days, they can only say the word "suit" when Li Zicheng deals with his own people.
At this moment, Li Zicheng's imperial guards had entered the capital city, at Deshengmen, dozens of left-behind officials in the capital city headed by Chen Yan, the second assistant to the cabinet, were waiting for Li Zicheng's big guards here.
"Your Majesty, the officials of all sizes and all the gentry and wise men in the city who have not yet run away are here." Niu Jinxing said this.
Those who did not run away naturally were those who wanted to be loyal to Dashun, and the true loyal ministers seemed to have been taken away by Emperor Chongzhen, and all those left were to surrender.
Even someone like Chen Yan, whose family members were taken away, chose to surrender without any scruples.
This is called Niu Jinxing very shameless.
"If the order is sent, those who surrender the troops at the top of the city will be spared from death if they return home and keep their doors."
Li Zicheng, who was full of ambition, now doesn't want to hear a fight. He entered the imperial capital of the previous dynasty without bloodshed. As Li Yan said, this must be a special book for later history books. This is the only one who can prove that the great success of the will of heaven and the fate of heaven and the world is this.
Li Zicheng was overjoyed when he heard this.
The dark heads all bowed, and Li Zicheng entered Beijing amid the sound of drums and music. Chen Yan looked a little embarrassed. Li Zicheng didn't even come to say a word to him, but he quickly calmed down and smiled and sold the Shunjun officers who came to guide them, the surrendered officials.
Li Zicheng and his party walked in front, and his adopted son Zhang Nai, who was also from a kid camp, just like Luo Hu. Behind him were two hundred cavalrymen with neat military appearance, all riding tall horses in the northwest. Behind these two hundred cavalrymen was a general of the passer-guard, riding on the horse, tall, holding a yellow umbrella. On the side of the yellow umbrella were ten front guard generals and propaganda officers, all of whom were handsome and solemn. Then there was Li Zicheng, the emperor of Dashun, wore a light green arrow sleeve silk robe embroidered with flying dragons and tides, apricot and yellow silk ribbons, and a wide-brimmed white felt hat on the head. The top of the hat was tall and tassel made of golden silk thread, and a dazzling golden top was exposed on the top of the hat. A glittering blue gem was prefixed.
The yellow umbrella, the tassels of the hat, and the embroidered dragon on the robe means that he is an emperor, while the light blue dragon robe and the blue jade in front of the robe indicate that he is the virtue of water. He is already burly, and today he is wearing military uniforms, with a sword on the tall and majestic oolong horse, which makes him look even more majestic and extraordinary.
Compared with Emperor Chongzhen, who was still riding in a sedan chair when he left Beijing, the new owner of Yanjing City had a different taste from the former.
Starting from the street outside the gate of the urncheng City to the streets along the way after entering the city, the military and civilians have been quickly cleaned up, and the incense tables on both sides of the street were also set up. Wherever they pass, it is extremely quiet; on both sides of the street, every family is open, and everyone kneels outside. There is a incense table outside the door, with yellow tablets on the table, which read "Long live the Emperor Yongchang, Long live the words "Long live the Emperor". There are yellow paper or red paper on the front of the door, and the words "Shunmin" are written on it.
Yanjing City is Yanjing City. The people have a lot of knowledge and understand many rules! It’s just different.
Li Zicheng secretly praised in his heart, but quickly closed his eyes. He rode on the tall oolong horse, only with his solemn expression, because he is now the Emperor Dashun, which is not the same as before.
To be an emperor, you must have the same style as an emperor. He gently lifted the apricot and yellow silk reins with his left hand, drooped his right hand, sat up straight, looked forward with bright eyes, and refused to look around casually. Although he was also curious about what Yanjing City looked like, although under the cover of this calm appearance, he was also very excited inside, constantly thinking about it and passing by himself.
Thinking that when he was a child, he was thrown into a temple to be a novice monk, named Huang Lai, and lived for the landlord Ai surnamed Sheep. He lost his mother in his teens, and soon his father died. At the age of twenty-one, he was helpless and applied to work as an in-houseman at Yinchuan Station. Soon, because he was unable to repay the debts of the rich Wen Juren, he was tortured and severely tortured. He suddenly started to kill Wen Juren and fled to join the army with his eldest nephew Li Guo. At that time, the life of the border soldiers was also very difficult, with insufficient food and salary, officers embezzled and deducted military salary, and soldiers often starved and fled to death. He also recalled many difficult past events afterwards, such as when he left Shangluo Mountain, only eighteen cavalry left. It was really time to end the country. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Uh, you can have today! Uh, it's really not easy..."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Li Zicheng woke up from his memories and saw Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance step forward, holding a carved bow and three arrows that pulled out arrows.
Li Zicheng suddenly realized that it was already time for Chengtian Gate and it was time to make a show.
However, on the way to march into the capital, Li Yan made a comment: "In the past, Emperor Gaozu of Han first conquered Xianyang. After hearing Fan He and Zhang Liang's advice, he immediately withdrew from Xianyang, returned to the army to the top, and made three rules with his elders. As a result, the Qin people were very happy and fought for cattle, sheep, and wine and food to offer soldiers. Your Majesty will enter Yanjing City soon. Although it is not the same as Emperor Gaozu of Han entering Xianyang, at the time of national reform, how can the people in the capital be without worries? Your Majesty is stationed in Ye Forbidden City, and the army of 100,000 people are stationed in Yanjing City. The military and civilians are mixed. It is inevitable that someone will indulge his own desires and destroy Your Majesty's reputation. I think it is wrong.
Now that Chongzhen fled south, the world has not yet been peaceful, so it is not a time for us to rest assured. Your Majesty should carry out a kind and benevolent policy in Yanjing to win the hearts of the people. After the overall situation is stable, select ministers of honor and relatives to be honest and guilty, and punish a few of them. The rest of the surrenders will not be investigated. Doing this way will not only make the capital safe and secure, but also make the people who are watching and surrender, but also make the enemy incompetent."
Li Zicheng agreed with it. Emperor Chongzhen ran away, and the situation he is facing now is very different from the same period in history.
He took the bow and arrow, calmly rushed, and whispered a few words.
Li Zicheng is now an emperor, so he doesn't have to shout like he used to be. Although only the close-knit civil and military officials could hear clearly, others could preach loudly.
Immediately, the official of the Imperial Execution pulled out of the queue, and in a loud voice like a bronze bell, he announced back with a loud voice: Long live the order, the military and civilians obeyed. The soldiers entered the city, and the four people should not be alarmed. Every family opened the door and continued to make a living. All the soldiers of the three armies returned to the military camp. They would harass the people and would not be allowed to be killed!
Then, the soldiers around and the kneeling people all cooperated very well and shouted long live the mountain. This is what the people support!
