Everyone talked and expressed their opinions and reviewed the gains and losses. Li Zicheng sighed secretly, "It would be great if this would be the case earlier!"

But he knew in his heart that people's hearts were dispersed and he could no longer fight against the enemy army. There was nothing else but surrender and entrusting his fate to Li Xin.

"Send the order to seal the treasury, and do not harass the people in the city, nor are they prohibited from going out. Li Guo, take Li Zizai to find Li Xin, and just say that I, Li Zi, will be spared from the trouble of Guanzhong and are willing to go out of the city to receive surrender!"

Li Zicheng waved.

"emperor!"

The ministers knelt down one after another, and when they recalled the country they had built was about to be destroyed, they couldn't help but burst into tears, and some even cried loudly.

"Don't call me the emperor in the future, but call me to break into the king. It's all over the place until now!"

After saying that, Li Zicheng stood up and turned around and left.

At this moment, his mood was very dark. He waved all his entourage and walked aimlessly in the Qin Palace. Looking at the towering palace and white marble danmu, he sighed while walking: "I'm afraid I will never see it again."

Before he knew it, he walked into a long alley. At this time, the night was already dark, the north wind was gushing, and the alley was dark and the ghostly aura was so fierce that he suddenly thought of Chongzhen. I guess Chongzhen was in a similar mood before the country was destroyed?

He always had a thought in his heart: Could it be that Dashun was abandoned like this? Was he really defeated?

Just like this, Li Zicheng returned to the bedroom, and was extremely tired. He was not physically tired, but his heart. He didn't even want to take off his clothes, so he fell directly on the imperial bed and fell asleep.

This night, he dreamed of the wandering life that had been thirteen years ago in Chongzhen, and he almost died several times. He dreamed of Gao Guiying accusing him of why he wanted to die with the old and weak women and children in the old camp, and dreamed of many faces that had gradually become unfamiliar!

...

Two days later, Li Guo took Li Zizai to Tongguan and told Li Zicheng that he was willing to surrender to the city. In fact, Li Xin was not hostile to Li Zicheng. Although there were many people who died directly or indirectly at the hands of Li Zicheng, some of Li Zicheng's styles were also criticized by later generations, but everything should be viewed dialectically.

First of all, Li Zicheng's background limited his vision and could not require Li Zicheng according to the standards of modern people.

Secondly, although Li Zicheng did a lot of bad things, his original intention was to let the people live a good life. Moreover, according to historical records, when Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he did not make things difficult for Chongzhen's concubines. After being defeated, he did not kill the prince and the two princes of Yongding, but gave them some money to escape.

Unfortunately, the prince lacked experience and actually returned to Beijing. He was betrayed and eventually got labeled as a fake prince and was killed.

Third, Li Xin is a modern person and does not focus on the success or failure of a country at a time. If Li Zicheng and his subordinate forces are exiled overseas, they will play an important role in the rise of Chinese people.

The situation in Southeast Asia at the end of the Ming Dynasty was not as bad as before and after the Opium War. Britain and France had not intervened on a large scale, and the power of the West was not strong. It was the best time for Chinese to gain a foothold overseas.

Based on the above three points, Li Xin allowed Li Zicheng to meet with him with the courtesy of a vassal king.

Five days later, the enemy troops arrived in Xi'an. The officials, gentry, men and people went out of the city one after another, dressed neatly, and placed incense tables on the road five miles away. The common people and officials and gentry stood separately, waiting on the roadside in the wilderness. Although there was severe frost and cold wind blew, many people were happy. This not only ended with the end of the war, but also with Li Xin's reputation for benevolence.

The people of Guanzhong also envy the good days of the people in Jiangnan, eager to have a full meal every time and no longer endure hunger.

In front, soldiers from the team came over, and the people watched with their necks tilted.

"Huh? Why are there no Dragon Chariot and no Armored Trail?"

Someone asked in confusion.

Someone next to him immediately chuckled: "Hey, you don't understand, the Regent doesn't like pomp, and he even deliberately notified someone to notify him that he is not allowed to kneel down."

"Oh, so that's it. The Regent and that Master are really different!"

One after another, ordinary people looked back at the group of important civil and military officials who were greeted by the city gate, including Li Zicheng!

Li Zicheng saw Li Xin from afar. He felt complicated and felt sad. Recently, he often thought that in the past, he only saw wars and only wanted military victory. He did not expect that the people would think about governance for a long time, hoping to live a life of food and clothing, nor did he think about what to do if they were setbacks.

Since ancient times, when using troops, you must be able to advance and retreat, attack and defend, so that you can be invincible. Li Xin suggested that the people of Wan and the people should rest and wait for the strong soldiers to compete again. That would be a great opinion, but he would not listen!

Alas, it’s hard to buy regret medicine by paying money. Now there is only one emperor who is covered with dust, and the king and his subjects are helpless!

Suddenly, there was a fierce cheer in front of him. The people had already recognized Li Xin and greeted him warmly. Although Li Zicheng always boasted that every time he broke into a city, the people carried wine and welcomed him together, the facts were very cruel. Every time he fought a city, he was struggling, and the people in the city resisted to the death, and almost no one took the initiative to greet him.

Most of the farmers who followed him were numb and insensitive. They didn't care who they were following, they only care whether they could have a meal.

"Friends, fellow villagers, I, Li Xin, came late and told everyone to suffer. But at least China's civil war has ended, and now only the moss and mustard disasters in Liaodong are left. Although the Tartars are cruel, China has 200 million people, which is enough to crush him from national strength. No one has to worry about the chaos and can live a stable life..."

Li Xinzheng delivered a passionate speech. Although he could not be as beautiful as a mustache, his body language was extremely inspiring. Suddenly, another even more intense cheer interrupted his words.

Li Xin pressed down his hands and finally suppressed the sound waves a little, and then hurriedly said, "I, Li Xin, came to Guanzhong for the first time and didn't understand the situation. I hope you can tell me any ideas. Now I announce that the whole province of Shaanxi is exempt from taxes for one year. The court will allocate money and grain to support the elderly over 60 years old. Schools will be gradually established in various cities for free for children over seven years old to read and read!"

In an instant, the atmosphere was extremely high, and everyone praised Li Xin. Li Zicheng and others standing at the gate of the city seemed to be transparent and no one cared about it anymore. Even if they occasionally looked at each other, they were still full of hatred and disgust.

“Oh ~~”

Liu Zongmin sighed: "Shaanxi is our hometown. My dynasty has established Chang'an, but it has not allowed the people of Chang'an and Guanzhong to enjoy a day of peace. The top priority that the young people are most concerned about is eating, dressing, and having children. But we have not even done this most basic thing. No wonder the people of Guanzhong regard us as enemies!"

Li Zicheng shook his head and said nothing.

"Young Master Li is here!"

Yuan Zongdi shouted softly.

Everyone had a solemn face.

Li Xin rode his horse and slowly rode over, setting himself three feet in front of everyone, and his sharp eyes were scanning one by one.

Li Zicheng reluctantly bowed: "See Regent!"

"Yeah~~"

Li Xin flew off the horse, nodded and said, "King of Chuang, long time no see!"

Li Zicheng took a deep breath: "I only know today that destiny is with you, so I would like to thank you for not killing you!"

Li Xin waved his hand: "There is no destiny? Even if there is, God will only care about the right and wrong of the world after he is full. It is just that people's hearts are confused for a long time. However, the situation overseas is different. They are all a group of ungrateful wolves who are not well-fed. If they go overseas in the future, don't be kind to women!"

As he said that, he turned his attention to Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and Yuan Shizhong.

The three of them shivered all over, and they didn't dare to see through their anger. Yuan Shizhong even knelt down with a plop.

Li Xin said lightly: "Yuan Shizhong, it is logical that you are just marrying a wife. You are not very clear about Huimei and Zhang Nai's situation. The crime is not on you, but there are so many girls in the Jianfu camp, and you just marry Huimei. You are just going to get to the edge of the knife. It's just that you don't kill you. Zhang Nai will be at ease. I'll do this evil man. Today is a good day for me to enter the city. I will save your life for the time being. I'll give you another pleasure tomorrow. Come on, take it with me!"

"Get orders!"

Two personal guards stepped forward and dragged Yuan Shizhong to the side.

Yuan Shizhong also knew that he would die, his face was ashes, and his resentful eyes were staring at Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance tightly.

He was indeed innocent. At first he asked Li Zicheng to marry Li Lanzhi, but Li Lanzhi was in the hands of Li Xin, so Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance thought about it and persuaded Li Zicheng to take Huimei as his adopted daughter and then marry Huimei to Yuan Shizhong.
