"Yeah." Li Zicheng nodded, "Sending people to surrender is not enough, you still need to change defenses! Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan have important positions and must be in the hands of their own people! In this way, Li Guo and Li Yan will no longer be used in Beijing, and immediately lead troops to Ningyuan to change defenses, and Wu Sangui leads his army to Beijing and accept the inclusion."

Niu Jinxing said in a flattering voice: "Long live the holy light."

Outside Chaoyang Gate, there is a camp of thieves.

A bandit general surrounded by more than a dozen personal soldiers and entered Li Hu's central army tent arrogantly. Li Hu and Jing Maocheng, who were discussing affairs in the tent, quickly stood up, clasped their fists and said, "This is..."

The thief general pointed at himself and shouted: "I, Li Baoguo, Long Ying put on the side general in front of the general's tent!"

Li Hu and Jing Maocheng were in awe of respect. General Long Xiang Shang Li Shuangxi was Li Zicheng's nephew. In terms of identity and status, Li Yan was even more incomparable to him. In addition, the side generals in front of Li Shuangxi's tent were much more angry than those of the rebel generals in other camps. Li Hu and Jing Maocheng could only refer to the following qualities.

Li Baoguo Highway: "The king has an order, Li Guo, Li Yan's army immediately set out to take over Ningyuan, and I will now take over the Chaoyangmen Pass camp."

As he said that, Li Baoguo threw a token to Li Hu.

Li Hu took the token and asked carefully: "General Li, there are several important criminals in the Guanxiang camp. Can we take them away?"

"A criminal?"

Li Baoguo's eyes rolled, thinking that it was the Beijing big family that Li Hu and the others privately arrested. He said in an unquestionable tone, "Stay behind the prisoners! How could anyone take the prisoners to fight?"

Li Hu had no choice but to leave the tent in disappointment and strode the troops of his headquarters with Jing Maocheng to Tongzhou to join Li Guo. Li Yan's large group of troops went together.

Three days have passed in a blink of an eye.

The "movement" of pursuing dirty and assisting wages under Liu Zongmin has been launched vigorously. The first person arrested and tortured was the cabinet chief Zhou Yanru, Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Chunchen, and the father-in-law Zhou Kui, and other large numbers of cabinet officials and royal relatives. Zhu Chunchen, the old beast, never expected that he would surrender the first time he had offered his door, but now he became the first group of prisoners of the bandits!

On the contrary, Wang Pu and others who were accidentally captured by Li Hu were regarded as small families with little money by the thief and left in the Datong cell without anyone caring about it.

Jiangnan, thousands of miles away, soon learned about the fall of Beijing and Emperor Chongzhen was hanged to death.

The whole of Nanjing suddenly became a mess. Nanjing officials, led by Gao Hongtu, Minister of Revenue in Nanjing and Minister of War Lü Daqi, Minister of War, rushed into the headquarters of the Nanjing Ministry of War, asking Minister of War Shi Kefa to come forward to take charge of the overall situation, because Nanjing Minister of Rites He Xiongxiang had died of illness half a year ago, and Shi Kefa was already the highest official in the Nanjing officialdom.

When Beijing fell, the capital of Nanjing naturally became the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the six ministries of Nanjing naturally became the highest authority of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, Shi Kefa had become the de facto highest official of the Ming Dynasty. As for the governor of Zhejiang, Sun Chuanting, although he had heavy troops in his hand, he was just a local chief official in terms of rank, and was still far from it.

Nanjing officials have only two issues.

The first is to recruit a large number of people who have dismissed from their posts at home, such as Qian Qianyi, a famous Jiangzuo who lives in Nanjing, Liu Zongzhou, a former left-level censor who retired and returned home, and a talented Confucian scholar headed by Zhang Pu and Zhou Biao to enrich the six ministries in Nanjing and the Kedao Censorate Office, and to make the six ministries in Liudu and the Kedao Censorate Office run as soon as possible.

There is nothing to say about this topic, and the opinions of Nanjing officials were quickly reached.

The second is the issue of supporting the new monarch. Gao Hongtu believes that although Emperor Chongzhen died, the life and death of the prince was uncertain. Before there was a certain news about the prince, another new monarch should not be established. Lu Daqi believed that the country could not be without a king for a day, and should choose one person from the Fu and Lu Kings who were exiled in Nanjing nearby to take charge of the country.
