Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 166
Don't look at what Ning Wan said to me, the Qing army was just avenging Emperor Chongzhen, and after the peasant army was wiped out, they immediately returned to their hometown outside the pass.

But who can guarantee that after the Qing army captured Shaanxi and wiped out all Li Zicheng's troops, they would really return to their hometown outside the pass, instead of going along the Grand Canal or going to Henan, and directly raising Zhu Cihong's Jinling.

The distance of about [-] kilometers is actually not far, and it is even simpler for an army like the Qing army with a large number of livestock.

Even marching and fighting, Zhu Cihong estimated that the Qing army would be able to fight in a month. Of course, that was when Zhu Cihong was unprepared. In fact, Zhu Cihong would definitely defend every city, and he would not give up until he drained the blood of the Qing army.

"Sincerity, no matter how good your sincerity is, in my opinion, it is not as good as the cow dung in the cowshed. At least the cow dung can be used as fertilizer to nourish crops." Zhu Cixi said disdainfully.

At this moment, another news came from the guards and eunuchs responsible for guarding the palace gate. Li Zicheng actually sent someone to meet Zhu Cixiang.

Zhu Cihong did not expect that there would be such a day when Li Zicheng and Dorgon found his head at the same time, but since Dorgon's envoy had already been received by him, it would be fine to meet another Li Zicheng's envoy, anyway, he did not intend to promise Li Zicheng And any condition of Dorgon.

"My minister, Da Shunli, Niu Quan, the left servant of the government, sees the Emperor of Ming Dynasty." Compared with Ning Wanwo, Niu Quan knew the etiquette very well, and led the members of the mission to bow down to Zhu Cihong as soon as he came in.

Although Zhu Cixiang was the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, not Niu Quan's Emperor Yongchang of Dashun, Niu Quan still lived under the rule of the Ming court for most of his life, so he had a good impression of Zhu Cixiang.

The central government of Dashun is roughly the same as the Ming court, with six ministries, but Li Zicheng changed the name of the six ministries to the six governments, and Niu Quan's government of rites is equivalent to the Ministry of Rites of the Ming court.

"Very well, let's get back together." Seeing that they were so polite, Zhu Cihong didn't want to embarrass them like Ning Wan and others did. As soon as Niu Quan knelt down and kowtowed, Zhu Cihong ordered them to stand up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Niu Quan said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, why are these people here?" Niu Quan pointed to Ning Wan and the others and said, obviously, he was shocked by the appearance of Ning Wan and the others. He did not expect that Zhu Cihong would summon two missions at the same time .

The most important thing is that both of their missions came to discuss military and state affairs, so Zhu Cihong would not be afraid of leaking secrets by doing this, Niu Quan thought to himself.

"You don't need to worry about it, just treat them as air. You can talk freely about what Li Zicheng sent you here for."

After hearing Zhu Cihong's words, Niu Quan complained in his heart, how could such a large group of people be regarded as air.

However, due to Zhu Cihong's order, Niu Quan had no choice but to tell Zhu Cihong what Li Zicheng had told him before leaving.

"Now the Qing army has invaded the Central Plains thousands of miles deep, hundreds of cities have been breached in North China, thousands of people have been massacred or taken into slavery by the Qing army, and hundreds of millions of acres of land have been occupied by the Qing army. "

"At this critical moment, our Chinese people should join hands to fight against the enemy. The hatred between each other can be resolved after the war is over. If the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is willing, Emperor Dashun is willing to sign an alliance with you." Said With that, Niu Quan pulled out a piece of yellow paper wrapped in yellow silk from his cuff, which contained Li Zicheng's covenant with Zhu Cihong.

Li Zicheng's current situation is very bad. It's no wonder that he is thinking of making peace with Zhu Cixiang. After all, with his territory of two provinces, it is tantamount to wishful thinking to fight against Qiqing and Ming Dynasty at the same time.

After Li Zicheng had just captured the capital, within a few days, Dorgon's [-] and Eight Banners defeated Li Zizi in Shanhaiguan.

Li Zicheng, who had been defeated in a row, lost a large number of elite troops. Many Ming soldiers who had just joined him saw that the Qing army was in a state of overwhelming power, and they turned around and the Qing army was reorganized into the green battalion.

Under the ebb and flow, Li Zicheng's military strength is obviously at a disadvantage to the Qing army, and Li Zicheng has also fallen into a disadvantage in terms of strategy. If he fights bloody battles with the Ming army and the Qing army at the same time, he may not wait until next year. Li Zicheng's name It will disappear from the battlefield at the end of Ming Dynasty.

"That's right, very sincere." Compared to Ning Wanwo, who was empty-handed, Zhu Cihong felt that Dashun's Niu Quan was more sincere.

At least they brought a paper of alliance, as long as Zhu Cihong reads it, and find another day to meet Li Zicheng, it will be over.

I thought, as soon as Zhu Cihong finished speaking, two people boldly stood up to express their opposition.

I saw Ning Wan and Qian Qianyi stood up at the same time and said to Zhu Cihong, "Your Majesty, no."

Zhu Cihong was a little confused by the sudden arrival of these two people, so he asked Qian Qianyi to explain why first.

"If Li broke through the capital of our Ming Dynasty and killed my father, if we make peace with him, where will the late emperor be? Where is filial piety and etiquette?" Qian Qianyi is a feudal defender. He has no big country politics in his eyes, let alone From a diplomatic and military perspective, he only saw that this incident would have an impact on Confucianism and the etiquette system in people's hearts.

"What about you?" Zhu Cihong asked Ning Wan again why I objected.

"Your Majesty, Li Chuang broke through the capital of the Ming Dynasty a few months ago and killed the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Now he is making peace. His heart must be impure. Maybe he has some schemes." Ning Wan, I am really alarmist.

In fact, Li Chuang only sent an envoy to see Zhu Cihuang until today, and he was really forced to die. If it takes another ten days and a half months, Li Zicheng will have to be forced to give up Xi'an, and even the whole of Shaanxi.

On the contrary, Ning Wan, Mi Qing, and I were full of bad water. They wanted to paralyze Zhu Cihong, and they waited for a while, and when Li Zicheng was eliminated, they took out their hands and then beat Zhu Cihong, then it would be much easier.

"Haha, it's ridiculous. What do you take me for? I will believe whatever you say." Zhu Cihong slammed the table and said.

"Let me tell you the truth, I won't agree to whoever makes peace. Mite Qing and Dashun, either you will die or I will die. My Ming Dynasty will never make peace with any enemy, nor will I do any humiliation. matter."

"The two envoys can go back if they have nothing to do. I'm going to send troops now." Zhu Cihong said domineeringly.

After these few days of training, a lot of supplies from the rear have been delivered, and the soldiers have been sufficiently repaired to launch a new offensive.

The most important thing is that there is a very good time now. According to Zhu Cihong's historical knowledge and the information of Sticky Office and Jin Yiwei, Li Zicheng and Mi Qing are fighting in front of Tongguan, and the two sides have gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
