Chapter 170 (12) Be low-key

As soon as the Nanming peace talks delegation left, a messenger rushed to report: Report, it’s not good, Dashun’s 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry are brazenly attacking our two cities of Huaiqing and Weihui in Henan. Jin Yuhe went to battle, but unfortunately died on the battlefield. This battle included 22 leaders at all levels and 1,755 soldiers died in battle. Dorgon became angry when he heard it: You said that Li Zicheng, you can't hide now, and you dare to come out to make trouble, isn't it because you are tired of living? What Dorgon said was not false at all. Based on the situation at that time, there were already three emperors gathered together in a small China. , called Emperor Dashun.The three emperors gathered together, and there was a little more anyway, so Li Zicheng should keep a low profile at this time and avoid attracting attention.

But Li Zicheng also has his own difficulties. The difficulty for Li Zicheng is that he has been emperor for too short a time, and he still doesn't know how the emperor should be.He fled from Beijing all the way back to Shaanxi, and closed his door in Xi'an, where he became addicted to being an emperor.When the emperor was about to govern the country, he had to deal with trivial matters. These things annoyed Li Zicheng to death, so he said: We must rule the country by law and follow the road of legalization. It was ordered to cast bronze swords. If anyone breaks the law, no matter the crime is big or small, he will be killed with a bronze sword.A commoner stole a chicken from the neighbor's house and killed it.Some daughters-in-law and mother-in-law talk back and kill each other.Some people habitually hold their heads up when they walk, and they are pinched to death; some people walk habitually with their heads down, and they are pinned to death; some people go out and walk, and they are pinned to death; Anyone who doesn't like it will be killed.

Therefore, in Xi'an, everyone was in danger, and the common people ran away in the dark, hiding and not letting Li Zicheng find them. Li Zicheng was very angry. Just at this time, the cities in Henan took action one after another, killing the leading cadres sent by Li Zicheng, and brazenly surrendering to Dorgon of the Qing Dynasty.Li Zicheng was suffering from a toothache. Li Yan came and said, "Your Majesty, can you see if this works? I am from Henan and I am familiar with the local conditions. Send me back to Henan to do underground work." Li Zicheng was overjoyed and said: "Li Aiqing, if you are willing to go to Henan, I will have no worries about the future."

So a farewell banquet was held for Li Yan, and the wine cup was brought up: Li Aiqing, drink and drink.Li Yan had just picked up the glass when he heard a bang. Li Zicheng had already smashed the wine glass in his hand. Li Yan chopped it to pieces. Hearing this news, all the officials in the court were frightened out of their wits, and asked tremblingly: "Your Majesty, why did you kill Li Yan?" what?Li Zicheng said sadly and indignantly: I was ordered by the sky to rule the people. Wouldn't it be okay to kill Li Yan? Everyone didn't dare to say anything, and after inquiring carefully, they realized that it was Niu Jinxing's trick.Because Henan is Li Yan's hometown, once he is released and becomes a powerful force, there will be nothing for Li Zicheng in this world, so Li Zicheng panicked and killed Li Yan first.

Li Yan's people are quite talented among the rogues. Li Zicheng's level is not high, and every time he sees Li Yan, he feels uncomfortable.Now that Li Yan was killed, Li Zicheng immediately felt refreshed and refreshed.Kiss the soldier now: Tian Jianxiu and Gao Yigong worked together, commanding 300,000 soldiers and horses. Liu Zongmin led the way, commanding 100,000 troops. The emperor Li Zicheng unified the road with a force of 300,000. The three groups of troops departed from Chang'an, first went to Ningwuguan, replaced Zhou, went to Datong, and then fought back to Beijing in one breath to flatten Shanhaiguan.

Calculated in this way, Li Zicheng should still have 700,000 horses. But this number is definitely exaggerated, but how much is exaggerated, and what is the real base, this is hard to say.But there is one thing, Li Zicheng dared to boast of an army of 700,000, and it is impossible to lose 300,000. Moreover, Li Zicheng was able to easily kill Huaiqing's general officer Jin Yuhe, which made Dorgon even more startled. Then put Nanming down and ignore it for now.Dorgon gritted his teeth fiercely, Li Zicheng, you are out of luck!
