Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 264 Careful Choice
"My lord, have you summoned me?"

"Exactly."

About 10 minutes later, Natai came from the side of the camp, and after entering the tent, he knelt down in front of Zhu Youjian.

"Get up, I'm looking for you because of a secret letter from Ningyuan City. If the owner of the letter wrote it himself, then it seems that you, Zakuta Huerha, have a talent. Read it!"

"Whoo."

Qi Xinlang took the letter and began to read this homely secret letter to Natai sentence by sentence.

Afterwards, Natai clenched his fists tighter as he listened, and immediately said after listening, "It's an old man when the old Zakuta city was still there. The letter said a lot of things that only the old people in the tribe know."

"that would be great."

Zhu Youjian smiled and applauded, and then asked Jiao Boqing to put the letter away.

"This person delivered the letter secretly from Ningyuan City. Presumably, his intention is not only to reminisce about the old days with the Huerhazakuta people in our Zhengheiqi. Maybe the old people of your tribe in Natai can meet some old friends."

"They're all traitors! This hypocritical letter was sent under siege, and I dare not tell my name!"

Zhu Youjian waved his hand and said: "This shows that he is smart. You have to test it out before placing a bet. Let the navy pay attention. See if there are any new ones tomorrow. By the way, Natai, I'm here today." Let's eat together, and you will also know Oboi."

Zhu Youjian received letters from people who might defect.

Azig in front of the city of Xi'an did receive a letter from someone who secretly defected.

Therefore, the Qing army's siege of Xi'an City was extremely smooth.

After the verification, the Qing army knew all the subordinates in the city. On the first day of the official attack, they launched a surprise attack and entered the city. If the Shun army hadn't resisted desperately, then the city of Xi'an would have lost part of the city wall that day.

In the next two days, the Qing army had already invaded the city. Apart from the unauthorized attacks by some Shun army guerrilla generals outside the city, the main force of the Shun army's harassment was also known to the Qing army and they were defeated many times.

Therefore, the Shun Army has already started preparing for the withdrawal.

Although it is very important to have a solid base that has been painstakingly managed, it does not necessarily have to stick to the city to the end.

"The Qing army wants to take my city of Xi'an, and the Ming army also wants to take my city of Xi'an. This is not a dilemma. If we stick to Xi'an, the Ming army will sit and watch. If we withdraw from Xi'an, we will sit and watch the Ming army and the Qing army meet. fight."

The counselor under the hall made it clear that now he was wearing a yellow robe, and his hair was grayer than before in the capital, and he looked a little fatter. Li Zicheng, who had serious dark circles under his eyes because of the rapid attack of the Qing army and had not slept for many days, also nodded.

"Just as Ai Qing said."

To put it bluntly, there was a tall scholar in the hall who was hesitant to step forward, but Li Zicheng hummed lightly, and the man hurriedly backed away.

Seeing this, the military and civilian officer who was admonishing under the hall was very relieved, knelt down to thank him, and hurriedly went out to make arrangements.

"Brother! Your Majesty?"

"Mr. Li!?"

There were many people waiting outside the hall, the military officer Yingwu smiled wryly and said: "I agree now, let's hurry up."

After speaking, the civil servants kept walking, and hurriedly went to drink, and immediately passed on the order to retreat.

But when I think about the recent turn of the Qing army's offensive, every attack can pick up the weak point, and the internal investigation did not find any traitors, and not many people know about the military layout.
Therefore, the military and civilian officials gritted their teeth, got on their horses and called in exchange for cronies, and divided up the retreat route they had long thought about, and did not fully implement the retreat plan originally planned by the Dashun Dynasty.

Just now, His Majesty's eyes made him faintly see the shadow of King Chuang in the past.

Now that the capital is in crisis and the country is in danger of being destroyed, it will be too late if we do nothing.

But he didn't know that since he left the court, Li Zicheng asked the few ministers in the hall to disperse quickly to prepare for the evacuation of Xi'an, leaving only the tall middle-aged scribe and a group of eunuchs in the hall guard.

"Juming, you can talk now."

As soon as Li Zicheng opened his mouth, Niu Jinxing, the Prime Minister of Dashun and a scholar of Tianyou Pavilion, hurriedly knelt down, with a worried look on his face.

"Your Majesty! Xi'an is the foundation of my Dashun foundation! Don't abandon it! Li Yan is cowardly and fearful of the enemy! I am willing to lead the army! Guard Xi'an! Guard Your Majesty!"

Li Zicheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and patted the seat silently.

Recalling the years before Shanhaiguan.

At that time, there was an arrow book that helped him a lot.

There was also a person whose remonstrance was the same as Jianshu, he ignored it and shelved it. He remembered it only when the situation started to get out of control, and took it as a treasure.

Unfortunately it was too late.

"Juming, do you know why I didn't take your advice and kill Li Yan when I left the capital with my people?"

"This minister doesn't know."

Li Zicheng grinned: "Because I came back and realized that if I listened to him after entering the capital, I might not be able to sit in the capital. If I recruited in time, Wu Sangui... that dog thief might still be double-faced, but Jiannu will never today.

So even though I didn't let Li Yan lead the troops to Zhongzhou Henan that day, I still let him lead the troops to Taiyuan first, so that our army can have a place to stay when they leave the capital. "

Li Yan's strategy is somewhat similar to the content in the arrow book.

So for a short period of time after leaving the capital, Li Zicheng paid special attention to Li Yan.

Speaking of which, Li Zicheng stood up, walked up to Niu Jinxing, looked at him carefully, and then spoke suddenly when he was worried.

"Why do you want to betray?"

Immediately, Niu Jinxing's body went limp and he slumped on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! No! No! No minister!"

"I have given you all the power and benefits you want. You are the No. 1 counselor under my command. Song Xiance and Li Yan both need to look at your face when they make admonitions. Why do you want to rebel."

Li Zicheng didn't want to listen at all, his face became more ferocious as he spoke, and at the same time, the warriors in the hall hurried over because of his words, and the saber was on Niu Jinxing's neck in a blink of an eye.

"How much I trust you! Do you know! I knew there was a traitor, but I just never thought it was you! No one checked you at all! Because you were the one who rushed to let me sit on the throne! The representative of my enthronement The rituals are all arranged by you! You still worship heaven in the capital on behalf of me!"

Pointing a finger at the head outside the palace, Li Zicheng became more and more excited as he spoke, and grabbed Niu Jinxing by the neck.

"Do you know how I found out? There was a secret agent from the Ming Kingdom outside who wanted to save their princess, and secretly contacted the green gangster in the city to send him out! But he was discovered and caught. There are also people who help you deliver letters to Jiannu!?

That's it, those green skins are just a cover!The secret work of the Ming Dynasty did not intend to use that young man's green skin at all, but to divert attention!I still don't believe it!It took you two days to find out!The traitor is really you! "

"His Majesty--!"

Niu Jinxing screamed, and then Li Zicheng pulled out the knife of the guard beside him, and stabbed directly into Niu Jinxing's chest!Press desperately to penetrate the whole thing!
The two guards pressed Niu Jinxing's arms so that he could not resist, and could only knelt down and let out a frightening sound from his throat.

Li Zicheng knew that he wanted to die alone but also wanted him to die in pain.

You have to cut through the lungs.
