Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

The orange flame dyed half of Li Zicheng's body red.

He rode farther and farther on horseback.

The light shining on him became darker and darker...

The glory that belongs to Li Zicheng is about to come to an end.

However, the people who followed Li Zicheng out of the city spread all over the land.

It is said in history that "there is an endless stream of people in the city supporting the elderly and running westward with the young." (Gu Cheng's "History of the Southern Ming Dynasty")

……

When Wu Sangui learned that his whole family had been killed, he burst into tears and cried so hard that he couldn't bear to die.

Even Chen Yuanyuan's warm embrace couldn't comfort her.

Dorgon's heart moved, and he immediately dispatched [-] elite Manchu troops to Wu Sangui to pursue Li Zicheng.

Dorgon started his best show - driving away tigers and devouring wolves.

At the same time, in order to let Wu Sangui do his best, Dorgon even dispatched the Manchu kings Duduo, Azige, etc. to cooperate with Wu Sangui to pursue Li Zicheng.

The purpose was to further inflict heavy damage on the Dashun Army and try to intercept the gold and silver property transported away by the Dashun Army.

Dorgon's operation was historically the key to the Qing Dynasty's ability to seize China.

Let the cannon fodder stand at the front while the country's elite recharge their batteries...

This strategy successfully allowed Manchuria, a young man with less than [-] men, to dominate the world...

At the same time, after the cannon fodder depleted the strength of the hostile forces, they took advantage of their weakening and used their own troops to attack them all at once, creating a huge lie - the Manchurian soldiers were invincible!

……

When Liu Fangliang caught up with Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng had already left the capital.

At this time, the Zhending defenders were defeated again.

At this time, Li Zicheng had already made a plan to evacuate the capital from Jingxing Pass (one of the eight passes in the Taihang Mountains) and enter Shanxi.

Even the leading troops have arrived outside Jingxing Pass.

"Your Majesty, I am late!"

Liu Fangliang knelt down and cried bitterly.

"As long as nothing happens to the Qing family, it will be fine as long as nothing happens to the Qing family!"

Li Zicheng's face was full of joy and he hurriedly pulled Liu Fangliang up.

After Liu Fangliang was captured by Zhu Youjian, he thought he was going to lose a general, but he didn't want to...

"How did the Qing family escape? Tell me quickly!"

Li Zicheng looked expectant.

That guy Zhu Youjian captured so many of his men, and even his adopted grandson Li Laiheng was captured alive.

If Zhu Youjian's supervision is not strict, he can send someone to try to rescue them.

When Li Zicheng said this, Liu Fangliang suddenly remembered his purpose. He hurriedly wiped away his tears and said:

"Your Majesty, please have General Liu, General Li, and the two military advisors come over quickly. I have something to say."

Although Li Zicheng has proclaimed himself emperor, the hierarchical system within the Chuang Army is not yet obvious. It has been a rule that has been carried out for many years to discuss important matters together.

Soon, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing, Li Yan, Li Guo and others all arrived. Even Liu Zongmin was carried over by the soldiers.

Li Zicheng turned around and looked around. Niu Jinxing immediately understood and hurriedly asked the Chinese army to clear the surrounding area.

A group of people squatted on the ground and formed a circle.

"Qing family, tell me quickly, what is going on?" Li Zicheng urged.

Liu Zongmin coughed and looked at Liu Fangliang expectantly.

Liu Fangliang reached out and took out a few drawings from his arms, and then took out a bamboo tube:

"Your Majesty, I did not escape, but Emperor Ming let me leave!"

"How dare you rebel!"

Liu Zongmin was impatient, so he immediately became anxious and scolded him immediately.

However, his lung was injured by an arrow, and he suddenly started coughing before he could finish his sentence.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Liu Zongmin coughed so hard that his wounds burst.

The bandages on his chest and back also seeped blood.

However, even though Liu Zongmin was coughing badly, he was still struggling and took out the knife to chop Liu Fangliang.

Liu Zongmin's anger caused Li Zicheng's expression to change several times.

Liu Zongmin is angry and he can't stop him!

Niu Jinxing even shrank her neck and didn't dare to say anything.

The scene of being scolded by Liu Zongmin is still clearly imprinted in my mind!

Song Xiance's lips moved and he tried a few times, then sighed slightly and closed his mouth.

Liu Zongmin, he couldn’t persuade him...

Li Guo turned his head and looked away...

His adopted sons all rebelled. In front of Liu Zongmin, the emperor's nephew was already a head shorter...

"General Quan, don't be impatient. Let Brother Liu finish."

Li Yan reached out and held him down.

This Liu Zongmin was originally a blacksmith and had a very hot temper.

His temper got worse, not to mention the other five battalion commanders, not even Li Zicheng could calm him down.

However, Youdao means that one thing must be conquered, and Li Yan, a general born as a scholar, was able to surrender Liu Zongmin...

Without him.

Liu Zongmin never won in the private competition between the two...

These capable generals obey the most capable people.

If Liu Zongmin were to lead troops in a war, Liu Zongmin would naturally disapprove of anyone. However, Li Yan was not only powerful in martial arts, but also capable of leading troops, and he was also capable of both literary and military skills.

In terms of martial arts, Li Yan was not inferior to him, and in terms of writing, even the eighteen generations of the Liu family's ancestors combined could not beat Li Yan.

But Liu Zongmin, who had a hot temper and Li Zicheng couldn't do anything about it, took Li Yan's advice.

Of course, this assumes that Liu Zongmin is not completely furious and completely loses his mind.

"Humph!"

Liu Zongmin snorted coldly and turned his head to look away arrogantly.

Seeing Liu Zongmin being persuaded by Li Yan, Li Zicheng's eyes flickered a few times.

Li Yan is a general in charge. Even though he is not greedy for power, his cousin Li You is also a general in charge. Now, he has such a good relationship with General Liu Zongmin?

The failure of Shanhaiguan and the loss of the capital made Li Zicheng suspicious.

However, when he saw Li Yan's upright look.

After arriving in Beijing, Li Yan's repeated persuasion came to mind again.

Ugh!

If I had listened to Li Yan, where would I be today?

Li Zicheng put away his speculations and was filled with regret.

……

Liu Fangliang glanced at Li Yan gratefully and said hurriedly:

"Your Majesty, everyone, Emperor Ming has something to say, please let me pass it on to everyone."

"Before I say this, let me say something. I, Liu Fangliang, swear to follow Your Majesty to the death and will never regret it in my life!"

Liu Fangliang glanced at Liu Zongmin vaguely.

After being persuaded by Li Yan, the latter also felt a little impatient.

Seeing Liu Fangliang, he felt a little guilty and simply looked at the sky to hide his embarrassment.

in the crowd.

When Niu Jinxing saw that Li Yan had persuaded the irritable Liu Zongmin with just a few words, his eyes were incomprehensible.

The biggest threat to him was not fellow civil servant Song Xiance.

Having presided over the enthronement ceremony, his status cannot be shaken by Song Xiance!

However, Li Yan was talented in literature and martial arts, and there were quite a few members of the Li family who served as generals in the army!

Now Liu Zongmin, the number one figure in the military, has listened to Li Yan...

God, could he threaten his position?
