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

Liu Fangliang smiled bitterly:

"Emperor Ming said that the prerequisite for cooperation between the two parties is that they do not invade each other. As for the territory that each will occupy in the future, it will naturally belong to each other."

"High!"

Song Xiance smiled bitterly.

Everyone looked at them together.

Li Zicheng asked: "What does Song's military commander mean?"

Song Xiance smiled bitterly:

"The Emperor Ming must have anticipated that we would encounter the Tatars..."

Li Yan's eyes widened, and Song Xiance's words convinced him of the obscure but incomprehensible guess in his heart.

Song Xiance opened a window for him, which brightened up the hazy heart of Li Yan.

"high!"

Li Yan caught Song Xiance's words:

"Emperor Ming not only pushed us forward, but he also stared at us with eager eyes!"

When the two said this, the others understood instantly.

The premise for cooperation between the two parties is that each other does not infringe on each other's territory.

Now they are being chased and beaten by the Tatars...

Then - if Emperor Ming had seized the land from the Tatars, it would naturally not belong to Dashun.

And they can't break the agreement yet...

They occupy the Shanshan area and pose a great threat to the Tatars who have entered the pass!

Before they fall or withdraw from Shanshan, Dashun must be the Tatars' first target.

partial birth...

They couldn't refuse Emperor Ming's conditions!

Because, although Yuan Zongdi was busy suppressing the rebellion in Shaanxi, news came -

Emperor Ming was willing to fund them with food and weapons...

As long as you have money!

Yuan Zongdi said: Emperor Ming had food and purchased a large amount of food from Jiangnan...

Emperor Ming had weapons, a large number of weapons of all kinds...

……

These two things happen to be Dashun’s weak points!

The dilapidated Shanshan, the new Dashun that is not good at construction.

These two are Dashun's Achilles' heel.

……

Liu Zongmin's eyes widened.

He had a hot temper and wanted to persuade Li Zicheng to refuse.

however……

Dashun is short of food, which is Dashun's biggest dilemma.

Dashun is full of land that has been dry for more than ten years. If you want to find food, you need to work hard to break through the forts of wealthy families.

Taking food from the mouths of wealthy people is such a simple matter!

Baowu is not a government office.

As the saying goes, people's hearts are separated from each other. How many nobles would risk their lives to serve the imperial court?

Baowu is the cornerstone of the existence of aristocratic families!

If they want to attack Baowu, those people will work hard to defend it.

……

Liu Fangliang whispered weakly:

"The Emperor Ming said that we are all Chinese, we fight for our own lives, and it doesn't matter who among the insiders becomes the emperor.

However, China cannot be taken advantage of by the Tatars...

Emperor Ming said that the existence of a king in Di Yi is not as good as the death of all Xia..."

what?

Li Yan jumped up and looked at Liu Fangliang in disbelief.

Liu Fangliang's words were like a bolt of lightning, illuminating the deepest dim corner of Li Yan's mind.

He got it!

As a scholar, Li Yan is also a person who has read many books by sages.

The corrupt scholars may not care about the meaning of this sentence, but Li Yan firmly believes it.

Looking at Li Zicheng, Li Yan felt that his deeply believed belief was beginning to blur.

The lofty goals that I pursued throughout my life in the past seem to have lost the cornerstone of my existence...

……

"Ugh!"

Li Zicheng sighed.

He could understand Emperor Ming's thoughts.

Just like when he fled the capital, he deliberately let the people run away first.

The gentry treated him so much, but he never actually attacked them.

……

In his eyes, although the gentry opposed him and even gave him a stumbling block.

However, as a strong man, Li Zicheng had a natural compassion for the weak people.

It's like seeing your poorest son, you can't help but want to give him a hand!

It's like seeing your most rebellious son, you won't really kill him...

Otherwise, he would not insist on raiding officials and gentry.

If he had no conscience - he would simply ignore the life and death of the people, let the gentry go, cooperate with them, and draw blood from the people together...

As long as Li Zicheng doesn't have a conscience, how can he retreat from the capital in defeat?

……

Li Zicheng understood.

He felt that until this moment, he had really seen Emperor Ming clearly.

I finally understood what Emperor Ming asked Li Laiheng to tell him back then——

This world is left to you, Li Zicheng!

When I die, I will see my ancestors lying faceless on the ground. I will take off my crown and cover my face with my hair. I will allow thieves to split my corpse. Do not hurt any of the people.

……

Li Zicheng understood...

He finally understood Zhu Youjian...

He, Li Zicheng, regarded the common people as his sons and did not even kill the gentry who opposed him...

In the eyes of Emperor Ming, why not—he also regarded himself as a rebellious son!

……

If he had not understood Zhu Youjian's thoughts before retreating from the capital.

Even the fake corpse that served as Zhu Youjian's corpse was treated like a wild dog, allowing it to rot and breed mosquitoes and flies...

There is absolutely no behavior from previous emperors in treating the corpse of the previous emperor kindly.

Because, at that time, he looked down upon Emperor Ming!

What kind of emperor is he who has the world in vain, but ends up being betrayed by everyone and separated from his relatives?

however……

When he Li Zicheng also became Zhu Youjian...

He also became a loser who lost his capital...

When he, Li Zicheng, was also abandoned by officials and gentry...

Li Zicheng finally understood Zhu Youjian's heart!

……

Li Zicheng said seriously with a serious face:

"Liu Qing's family, please send someone to tell Emperor Ming that his conditions must be met!"

Li Zicheng tore off a section of the hem, took out the knife, cut his palm open, wrote a few words in blood, then took out Dashun's Emperor's Seal and covered it.

Everyone looked around and saw that there was only a short sentence on it:

“The Emperor of Dashun, Li Zicheng, and the Emperor of Ming, Zhu Youjian, have concluded a friendly treaty of mutual non-aggression between Ming and Shun.

After today, you and I should join hands and face the national crisis together.

I, Li Zicheng, dare to ask Ming Emperor Zhu Youjian if he dares to make an agreement with me - "The king of China who will destroy the Tatars"?

If one person annihilates the Tatars, the other person should deprive himself of the title of emperor and bow his head as a vassal!

Does Emperor Ming dare to agree? "

Li Zicheng did not shy away from everyone and wrote the letter of credence and the bet by himself.

He picked up the cloth and blew it. After the blood stains solidified, he folded it solemnly and handed it to Liu Fangliang:

"If you send someone to deliver this thing to Emperor Ming, you will say that you have fulfilled his promise. Does he dare to fulfill his promise?"

Everyone looked at Li Zicheng, who had lost his decadence and became so heroic. They felt that at this moment, the languid Emperor Dashun disappeared after losing the capital.

At this time, what appeared in front of them was King Chuang, who had failed to escape Shangluo Mountain and had only 18 riders left but refused to admit defeat!

Li Yan was the first to kneel down solemnly:

"Your Majesty, Li Yan, swears to follow His Majesty to the death and promote our great national prestige!"

Although Liu Zongmin was vulgar and ignorant of etiquette, he even did something to confront Li Zicheng in the capital.
