Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 53 53, the Dashun army went out at night, and the four people conspired in a secret room
Night falls.

In the army camp, Li Zicheng stood awe-inspiring, beside him were Niu Jinxing who had just come out of Beijing secretly, Song Xiance who tried to persuade Wu Sangui, Li Yan who was still injured but able to walk, and other confidants.

In front of Li Zicheng, two thousand soldiers were waiting for the King Chuang's lecture.

Most of these two thousand soldiers were from the Northwest Frontier Army of the Ming Dynasty. Since they couldn't survive, they defected to Li Zicheng one after another. Over the years, most of them were veterans of the army.

Anyone with a little military knowledge knows that veterans are the backbone of an army with the most combat effectiveness.

Li Zicheng said calmly: "It has been more than 15 years since I started the army. At the beginning, I was chased and killed by the Ming army like a dog. I ran here and there, panicking all day long.

But I didn’t admit defeat, I kept fighting despite repeated defeats! Fifteen years have passed, and I brought you all to the city of Beijing, only one step away from destroying this great Ming!
Tonight is our best chance.When the time comes, you will attack Deshengmen, where someone will open the city gate to meet you.

What you have to do is to firmly guard the Desheng Gate, and when the follow-up brother troops arrive, you will be the sharp knives that will go straight into the Daming Palace and become the final candidates to destroy Daming.

Do you have confidence? "

Facing Li Zicheng's question, the group of veterans had a terrified expression and said in unison: "Yes!"

Li Zicheng nodded in satisfaction: "Remember what I said, after you enter the city, you can choose all the women first, and you can plunder all the wealth at will. As long as you can take Beijing City for me, I will give you everything in this world." !"

For recruits, honor and the future are inspiring magic weapons, but for these battle-tested veterans, women and wealth are their favorite things.

Sure enough, after hearing Li Zicheng's words, all the veterans suddenly became emotional and raised their weapons in unison.

"Destroy Daming!"

"kill!"

Amidst the shouts, Li Zicheng laughed triumphantly.

"Gao Jie!"

A general who had already put on his clothes strode up to Li Zicheng, and saluted respectfully: "Here is Chen Gaojie."

Li Zicheng patted Gao Jie on the shoulder: "Are you ready to go down in the annals of history as No. 1 in Beijing?"

Gao Jie grinned: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have already prepared it!"

Li Zicheng's smile became more intense: "That's good. Take these soldiers under your command to have a full meal, and then wait for the arrival of Zishi."

Gao Jie is of course not as brave as Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang and others, but like Li Yan, he is a brave and comprehensive general under Li Zicheng's command. Entrusting this task to Gao Jie is already the best that Li Zicheng can do right now. Good choice.

Deshengmen is not in the south of Beijing, so Gao Jie took the two thousand veterans out of the camp secretly, and went to the Chuangjun camp in the north to wait for the attack.

Watching Gao Jie and others leaving, Li Zicheng remained silent.

The fire light shone on Li Zicheng's face, and a gust of night wind blew, the flames kept beating, and the shadows shuttled across his face, making Li Zicheng look eerie.

Li Zicheng said suddenly: "Military adviser, tell me, what should we do if we fail this time?"

Hearing Li Zicheng's words, the two military advisers beside him were taken aback for a moment, and then answered in unison.

"Don't worry, King Chuang, this time, our army will definitely win!"

Although Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance had different political views due to class representatives, it was only a personnel struggle within Dashun.

Daming, but the new Dashun's real enemy!
Li Zicheng did not continue to say anything, but nodded slowly.

Inside the capital, a house about a few hundred miles away from Deshengmen.

Cao Huachun, Zhou Kui, and Wei Zaode met secretly here.

Zhou Kui asked, "Where is the prince?"

Cao Huachun said: "Our family doesn't know either, he has been serving His Majesty today, but he just sent someone to tell our family that we will meet here tonight."

Zhou Kui snorted, and said very unhappy: "This prince won't back down in battle, will he? If he goes to inform us, we will all be ruined!"

Cao Huachun shook his head and said, "Master, you think too much. If the prince really backs down and informs, how can we talk properly here now? And don't forget that in the letter of nomination written to King Chuang a few days ago, he But it was signed and fingerprinted."

Wei Zaode also said: "That's true. Eunuch Wang is a steady person. The old man has dealt with him a lot. Presumably he will not run away, but was delayed by something."

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and after a few seconds, Wang Huamin walked in.

After seeing Wang Huamin walk in, Zhou Kui breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help complaining: "Eunuch Wang, don't you know that the situation is urgent now? Why did you come here at this time?"

Wang Huamin's expression was very solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The situation is not good. Today, when I followed His Majesty, I got the news that Wu Sangui has conquered Tongzhou!"

Hearing this news, the other three were shocked at the same time.

Tongzhou is very close to the city of Beijing. Even the infantry only takes two or three days, and the cavalry can arrive within a day.

Zhou Kui couldn't help but said: "The capital is now so empty of troops that even King Chuang can't take it down. If the most elite Guan Ning army of Ming Dynasty arrives, will they still be able to fight?"

This question made the other three people a little silent.

Wei Zaode began to waver, and tentatively said: "Or, why don't we cancel today's operation?"

As soon as Wei Zaode finished speaking, the other three said in unison: "No!"

Cao Huachun said in a deep voice: "Lord Wei, don't forget, if the capital is really defended, then the glory and wealth promised to us by King Chuang will be gone, and there is no hope of recovering our family property!"

As soon as Zhou Kui heard about the family property, his eyes turned red immediately, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, since Daming won't give us a way out, why should we be loyal to this Daming? No matter how good Wu Sangui can fight, it's impossible to fly to the capital tonight. As long as we capture the capital today, everything will be fine!"

After being told by the two of them, Wei Zaode finally settled down temporarily.

Wang Huamin looked around at the three people present, and said, "Has our manpower been arranged?"

Cao Huachun said: "Today there are generals from the Zhou family and the Wei family on the city wall. As long as we give the order, we can immediately seize control of Desheng Gate and open the door to welcome Master Wang."

Zhou Kui couldn't wait to say: "Then what are you waiting for? Do it!"

　I accidentally opened the Qidian APP and looked at the circle of book friends, and I was stunned, what was displayed. .Let's reform this time, let's reform ourselves.
