Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 124 Zhang Xianzhong Offers Silver

Shengkyo
After Fan Wencheng left the East Captive, Dorgon has been raising food, grass and military supplies in preparation for entering the customs as soon as possible.

The Han people in Liaodong were miserable. Almost all the valuables and food in their homes were looted by the Eastern captives, and many Han people were killed because of their resistance.

Meng Yuan is also constantly moving. In order to cooperate with Donghuo's entry into the pass, they are also stepping up conscription, ready to follow Dorgon to attack the pass at any time.

The Joseon Dynasty itself is a pro-Ming regime, and they have a strong sense of identity with Ming Dynasty. Many Koreans are proud of being able to join Ming Dynasty.

But with the invasion of North Korea by Dongyao and the overthrow of the pro-Ming regime, all this is changing.

The newly-established Lee regime in North Korea also received a notice from Dorgon, asking them to contribute people and money, and Quan fully supported Dongcap for the invasion of Ming Dynasty.

Dorgon had high expectations for Fan Wencheng to persuade Zhang Xianzhong to surrender. He believed that Zhang Xianzhong had nowhere to go and had to cooperate with them.

"Squeak..."

"Wang...Master...Fan Wencheng has been away for so long, why is there still no movement at all, nothing will happen, right?"

After some strenuous exercise, Dayuer looked at the sweating Dorgon and suddenly asked about Fan Wencheng.

Don't look at her as a girl, but she is not a simple character. Many things about Dorgon are the result of discussing with her.

His son, Xiao Fulin, was only six years old. As his mother, it was impossible not to worry about his son's throne.

Dorgon grabbed a du bag, wiped the sweat from his head and comforted him:
"It's okay, even if Zhang Xianzhong refuses to cooperate, they shouldn't embarrass Fan Wencheng. The two countries will not kill the envoy before they meet, and there will be Oboi to protect them on the way."

Da Yuer looked at Dorgon coquettishly:
"I hope so, I really want to see Fulin enter Zijin City."

"Haha, don't worry, princess, as long as my Eight Banners army is dispatched, it will surely flatten the Central Plains and drink horses from the Yangtze River to the Yellow River."

Suddenly a court lady broke into the palace and hastily knelt down in front of the two:
"The Queen Mother..."

"Go out, don't know any rules."

Dorgon was furious when he saw the maid disturbing the good things, but Da Yuer laughed and said:

"Don't blame her. There must be something urgent. Tell me."

The court lady was scared to death by Dorgon's words. Seeing that the Queen Mother didn't blame her, she hurriedly said:

"A scout reported just now that both Fan Wencheng and Lord Oboi were killed in the pass..."

"Nonsense, how is it possible."

Dorgon jumped in front of the maid, who was so frightened that she hurriedly closed her eyes and kowtowed for mercy.

Da Yuer was also stunned on the spot. Although Fan Wencheng was Han, he was the founding father of the Eastern Captives, and Obai was the number one warrior of the Eastern Captives.

If the two of them were really killed, it would be a huge loss to Dongyao, and the prospect of Fulin taking control of Zijin City was almost cast in a shadow.

In order to find out the facts, Dorgon quickly put on "arms" and hurriedly left the palace to find out the truth.

At the head of the capital, the soldiers suddenly saw dust flying in the distance, and a large group of people approaching the capital. The guards were shocked:
"Quickly, close the city gate and go to inform the Ministry of War and Master Sun, it seems that there are enemy troops coming."

It's not that this kind of thing has never happened before. In the history of Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing happened many times. Just as the soldier turned around, he was stopped by the leader again:
"No, wait a minute."

As the cavalry got closer and closer, they found that the flag of the Ming Dynasty should not have been invaded by Dongkuo, it seemed to be the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, but they didn't know which army it was.

No matter what the army is, the gates cannot be opened:

"Stop, don't move forward, or you will fire."

Hearing the call from the top of the wall, the leading general got off his horse, clasped his fists and shouted at the top of the wall:

"We are under Mrs. Qin Liangyu's command in Sichuan. We are ordered to go to Beijing to face the saint. Please inform me from the military master."

This army was the army of Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu. In order not to misunderstand the guards, they had to lie that they were under Qin Liangyu's command.

In fact, it is not a lie. Qin Liangyu is now the governor of Sichuan, and Li Dingguo and the others are Qin Liangyu who have surrendered.

When Sun Chuanting and Sun Chengzong received the report, they immediately split up, one went to meet the emperor, and the other went straight to the city.

Qianqing Palace

"Your Majesty, General Sun Chuanting seeks an audience."

"Let him in."

After the eunuch reported, Sun Chuanting quickly entered the Qianqing Palace.

"Sun Chuanting sees the emperor."

"Excuse me, the general. Seeing you are in a hurry, is there something urgent?"

Sun Chuanting clasped his fists and saluted:
"Your Majesty, an army has come from outside the city, saying that it is ordered to meet the Holy Spirit, and this humble servant came to confirm it."

"Zhu Youjian was overjoyed:

"Oh, it should be Li Dingguo. Go and see. If it is really Li Dingguo, let him come to see me and treat the soldiers he brought well. They have traveled all the way."

"obey"

Zhu Youjian didn't tell the Ministry of War about Li Dingguo's visit to the capital, so Sun Chengzong didn't know either.

Climb to the top of the city and look down.

There are about [-] men and horses in the city, although not all of them are cavalry, but they are all riding war horses.

Everyone's face is full of dust, but the lineup is very neat, and everyone sits upright on their horses, and they can tell that the military regulations are strict.

The first member of the grand prize, about eight feet tall, with a white horse under his crotch, and a golden spear with a tiger's head in his hand, is very majestic.

"Who is under the city and why did you bring troops into Beijing? I am Sun Chengzong from the military department of the Ming Dynasty."

Hearing the person calling to report his name, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu hurriedly got off his horse, and saluted Sun Chuanting with fists:
"The last general Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu paid a visit to Lord Sun. We are the Great Western Army. We have surrendered to the court and were ordered to go to Beijing to face the saint."

Sun Chengzong was taken aback at the time, he knew that Zhang Xianzhong had surrendered, but he didn't hear that Li Dingguo was going to face the saint, and just about to ask, Sun Chuanting had already walked to the top of the wall.

"Master Sun, pass on the emperor's command to open the city gates and let them enter the city, and treat these soldiers well."

"Come on, quickly open the city gate."

As the city gate opened, [-] elite soldiers slowly entered the capital, and saw that they were still pulling more than a dozen carts, most of which were not grain.

Sun Chuanting asked vigilantly:
"General, what supplies are these vehicles carrying?"

Li Dingguo waved his hand to stop the vehicles, and casually opened the covers on several carriages for Sun Chuanting and Sun Chengzhong to watch.

"My lords, don't worry, we sincerely surrender to Daming, this is a gift from our adoptive father to the emperor."

"my God……"

When Sun Chuanting and Sun Chengzong saw the cart full of gold and silver, they both opened their mouths in surprise, and then there was a burst of joy that Daming had silver again.

In fact, this is just a meeting gift they gave to the emperor. There are many more in Sichuan, and even a hundred carts would not be able to pull them all.

How much Zhang Xianzhong's wealth is, after his death, is now a mystery.

But most of them have been handed over to Qin Liangyu, and will be shipped back to the capital in the future. It is roughly estimated that all of them will be converted into silver, which is definitely as much as [-] million taels.

All these gold and silver were collected from those vassal kings and officials, as well as gentry and rich merchants. You can think about it, the Ming Dynasty vassal kings, gentry and rich merchants were actually rich.
