"Your Majesty, why did Chang Xiao withdraw? Why did he just leave? Why didn't he kill Li Zicheng?"

"Your Majesty, what is the intention of smiling so often? He is clearly not far from the bandit's camp!"

"Your Majesty, did Chang Xiao surrender to the bandits? Otherwise, why would the bandits give way to them instead of crushing them to death? This is unreasonable!"

"emperor……"

Chongzhen looked at Chang Xiao's thousand soldiers, swaggered out from Li Zicheng's army, and finally stationed in Li Zicheng's belly and back, and saw that the army Li Zicheng used to attack the city had already retreated back to the army Now, thinking about it for a while, it is impossible to attack the city, especially their morale is extremely low, which is obviously good news!

Chongzhen couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief, and only then did he realize the danger of his position. Although there was a wooden fence blocking it, the height under his feet still made Chongzhen dizzy. Chongzhen quickly stepped back a few steps to stabilize his emotions. , sat on the grand master's chair that had been placed there all the time.

It was only at this time that Chongzhen realized that he was not as relaxed as he had imagined before, and it could even be said that his muscles were tense, and had been tense all the time!

At this time, Chongzhen suddenly relaxed, and his whole body felt powerless, especially the muscles on his arms were a little sore, and even Chongzhen's back was soaked in sweat.

Chongzhen didn't take a single word into his mind about all the remarks made by the officials around him. He really didn't want to say anything more now, but these officials were too noisy, so Chongzhen looked around at the officials and said: : "Those who often laugh at collaborators and disloyalty, I will give him 1000 people, and I will also go to fight against the [-] army of traitors! To show your loyalty!"

When Chongzhen said a word, the surroundings were immediately silent.

It has to be said that Chang Xiao led 1000 people into an army of [-]. With this alone, all their doubts seemed so powerless and pale.

There must be a reason why Chang Xiao didn't go in and go straight to Huanglong, and killed Li Zicheng. At this time, even those officials who kept saying that Chang Xiao defected to the enemy and missed the opportunity of the war, did not believe that Chang Xiao would be a traitor from the bottom of their hearts!Chang Xiao's actions have most powerfully demonstrated his loyalty!

The reason why they said what they said just now was nothing more than complaints because their hopes were shattered.After all, they suddenly gained hope from hopelessness, and this hope was even close to being fulfilled at one time. Chang Xiao gave them this hope, but at the end, at the most critical moment, he lightly took away this hope.Can't help them not being annoyed!You must know that this is related to their lives.From a certain point of view, their entire family is now in the hands of Chang Xiao.

Fortunately, Chang Xiao's soldiers' fighting power, now none of these ministers will have any doubts. Although they haven't seen the details of the fire dragon army's killing of the enemy, they can see the speed of the fire dragon army's advance. The servants in Chang Xiao's hands The army formed is really too powerful, even stronger than Guan Ning's iron cavalry, and it is the hope of all the officials of the Ming Dynasty.Even if these officials don't understand the art of war, they also know that with such a team behind to contain Li Zicheng, it is impossible for Li Zicheng to attack the city with all his strength.

As long as it waits for a few days until the army from all directions gathers, Li Zicheng's good days will come to an end!

Chongzhen breathed out again, patted the chair happily, then stood up abruptly, full of energy, and smiled confidently: "Everyone, did I trust this person correctly? Ah?"

All the ministers looked at me and I looked at you, and they all nodded in agreement, but at the same time they all had a thought, if Chang Xiao survived this war, who would be in the whole of Ming Dynasty? I can't cure this constant laughing.

Thinking of this, all the ministers shook their heads in unison, Chang Xiao was already so terrifying before, if they achieved such a great achievement again, would there still be a way for them to survive?

At this time, during the brief exchange of eyes between several ministers, a consensus has been reached. As long as Li Zicheng's army retreats, if Chang Xiao does not die, then they will find a way to give Chang Xiao a high performance and authority. The charge of treason!

Such charges are often the end of those heroes.

Chang Xiao led his soldiers to get out of Li Zicheng's army, and he didn't have to go too far. He just set up camp 1000 meters away, and just watched Li Zicheng's army with covetous eyes. For Chang Xiao and his party, the few red cannons were the only threat. Moreover, with Chang Xiao's hearing and eyesight, there was no need to worry about the sneak attack of Li Zicheng's army. It can be said that a thousand meters away is a completely safe place. Moreover, they still occupy a position on the slope, condescending, like a huge boulder hanging on an egg, presumably as long as they stand here, Li Zicheng will have trouble sleeping and eating, and the soldiers have no morale at all!This is the way to attack the heart.

The most wonderful thing is that they only have 900 people, while Li Zicheng's side has a full 10 people. Such a disparity has formed such a weird and weird situation, which will definitely make Li Zicheng feel a huge sense of frustration.

But Chang Xiao is very clear that guns are not omnipotent. They can only stay like this for three hours, and then they have to withdraw. Human wisdom is infinite. Although they rely on the power of guns to intimidate each other, Li Zicheng's army There may not be any smart people in China, maybe after a few hours, they will have some way to threaten the fire dragon army.

In fact, it is the best choice for Chang Xiao to kill Li Zicheng in one go. However, killing Li Zicheng is of no benefit to Chang Xiao, because what Chang Xiao wants is military power, not credit. What he wants to do is the emperor. Not a servant!

Now that Li Zicheng has been beheaded in a hurry, then the power of commanding troops, the power of dispatching troops, and the power of supervising troops that Chang Xiao obtained from Chongzhen will be useless. All Chang Xiao has to do is to hold back Li Zicheng , maintain the current situation on the battlefield until the moment when the Ming army arrives, at that time he will restrain the entire Ming army, expelling these militias is just a piece of cake, what Chang Xiao should pay attention to is the water capital of Asia and Europe.

Guns are just a trick, they can only hold back Li Zicheng's army and intimidate the opponent. If you want to kill 900 people with 10 people, ordinary guns are not very meaningful.Except that Xiao Xiao brought in more destructive heavy weapons.

If you want to seek the world, you still have to follow the dignified and righteous way, and it is only suitable to use it when there is no other way.This truth is very clear.

Three hours later, the sky gradually darkened. Chang Xiao stood up and raised the banner. Nine hundred soldiers who had recharged their batteries stood up together. Immediately under the banner of Chang Xiao, this The 950 people gradually retreated and disappeared into the dark night.

Dark night is not suitable for siege, it is very dark, but it is very suitable for Li Zicheng's sergeants to manipulate Chang Xiao and his party, so Chang Xiao decided to retreat.It is enough to play with high-risk things for a while, but to play endlessly is to risk your life and it is not worth it!

At least, no matter what tomorrow holds, tonight will be a peaceful night!

The frightened common people in the capital thought so, and so did the civil and military officials, and so did Chang Xiao, without exception!Li Zicheng's side was hit hard by the fire dragon army today, no matter what, he had to take a good rest, after all, his morale had plummeted, and it was impossible to attack the city under such circumstances, let alone in the dark!

But Chongzhen is still busy. At this time, anyone can rest, but he can't rest yet. It's not for the purpose of approving memorials. At this time, memorials and the like are useless. I didn't even read the memorial.

After Chongzhen took a bath and changed his clothes, he went to the ancestral hall and knelt there. One was to pray for Daming and ask the ancestors to bless the Daming country, and the other was to write an edict of guilt!

Being surrounded by rioters by Li Zicheng to besiege the capital, there must always be someone to take the blame for this kind of thing. No one is qualified to take the blame, only he, the emperor, has the qualifications.

There was a severe drought in the world, Chongzhen wrote an edict of guilt, Huang Taiji entered the bandits and circled around the capital, killing and looting countless, Chongzhen wrote an edict of guilt, Zhang Xianzhong dug the grave of Zhu's ancestors, Chongzhen wrote an edict of guilt, now, Li Zicheng besieged the capital , Chongzhen naturally had to write an edict of guilt.In short, he, the emperor, is to blame for everything!

For the Edict of Guilt, we have to talk about shortcomings and inadequacies. In short, we want to scold ourselves. Chongzhen really doesn’t want to write this Edict of Injustice, and he really doesn’t know what to write. It’s obvious that he has worked hard since the day he took this position. In charge of government affairs, he never sleeps and rests. He has to take it out to review memorials when he eats. He has no time to watch songs and dances, and he has no time to enjoy the life of the emperor. It can be said that Chongzhen began to be exhausted as soon as he came to the throne. , the day after tomorrow there will be another Jurchen rebellion, it can be said that Chongzhen is the one who will live the most exhausting life in the whole world.

A pile of waste paper was scattered around Chongzhen. For some reason, Chongzhen was extremely restless tonight. When he picked up his pen, he couldn't write a single word!

Chongzhen rubbed the corners of his eyes, stood up, and sighed slightly in his heart. Fortunately, he still has a minister of Honggu who often smiles, otherwise, the bandits might have broken into the capital today!As long as Chang Xiao can hold on, the thief will not be able to enter the city!Thinking of this, Chongzhen smiled lightly. The most important thing in his life was to use Chang Xiao correctly!Chang Xiao is his lieutenant general!With Chang Xiao, his country will not collapse so easily. Chongzhen is still confident that after driving away Li Zicheng, he will continue to fulfill his dream of a prosperous Ming Dynasty!

Daming will definitely become prosperous and prosperous in my hands!Shout out to the world!

Inside the ancestral hall, there are portraits and tablets of the emperors of past dynasties. Standing in front of these portraits and tablets, Chongzhen felt a little depressed and couldn't breathe. Chongzhen then lifted his clothes, knelt on the futon, and raised his spirits for a while Finally, he clasped his hands together and was about to make a wish when the gate of the ancestral hall was knocked open with a bang.

Chongzhen was taken aback, and then became furious, this is the ancestral hall of their old Zhu family, who dared to break in here.

It was an old eunuch who rolled in. The old eunuch had a pale face. Before Chongzhen could speak, the old eunuch knelt down in front of Chongzhen and shouted: "Your Majesty, go quickly, the city is broken..."

ah?ah?ah!

Chongzhen rushed forward, grabbed the old eunuch by the collar, and said a few words between his eyes and teeth: "Wang Chengen, what did you say?"

Wang Cheng'en's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he was about to say something, when he suddenly heard shouts in unison from a distance: "God bless Dashun, eternal prosperity forever. Great Ming has no way, and the new emperor will abolish it. People don't be afraid, avoid houses." middle."

This roar came from all directions of the capital, and it exploded in Chongzhen's ears like layers of thunder, and Chongzhen's whole body was about to shatter. I have no strength.

Chongzhen stepped back, if he hadn't hit a beam, he would have been sitting on the ground now.

"How is it possible? How is it possible? I didn't hear the sound of the siege, I didn't hear the sound of the siege, how did these rebels enter the capital?"

Wang Chengen walked in front of Chongzhen crying, crying, "Your Majesty, everything is in chaos now, such a small thing has no way of knowing!"

At this time, a dark man emerged from Wang Cheng'en's shadow, it was the emperor's eyes and ears.

"It's the Zhang family, Lord Zhang Hou's family. They are rebellious and united with hundreds of officials, big and small, holding the letter of surrender, and opened the city gate together..."

Chongzhen's face turned pale immediately, the Zhang family, yes, how did he forget the Zhang family?

When Chang Xiao interrogated the descendants of the Zhang family in the court hall, the other party narrated all the evil deeds of the Zhang family in recent years. They originally planned to ransack the Zhang family's house, but just after the court meeting ended, there was news that Li Zicheng's army was suppressing the situation. Chongzhen and all the officials became busy, and put the Zhang family's affairs aside for the time being. Unexpectedly, such a small negligence would break the country.Yes, where did Li Zicheng get the cannon in red?The Zhang family could sell the cannon in red to Huang Taiji, why couldn't they sell it to Li Zicheng?

The Zhang family, hundreds of officials...

Chongzhen's face changed from snow white to scarlet, and his breathing became heavy. He stood up and rushed out. Wang Chengen hurriedly followed behind him, and whispered in Chongzhen's ear: "Your Majesty, since the capital has fallen, your Majesty should hurry up!" Withdraw from the capital, the slaves have already prepared vehicles..."

Chongzhen stopped suddenly and stood there firmly, Wang Chengen almost bumped into Chongzhen.

Chongzhen closed his eyes slightly, and subconsciously reached out to touch the sword at his waist, but found nothing. Then he remembered that the sword that never left him day and night was with Chang Xiao now. Unfortunately, Chang Xiao is now outside the city. , not in the city!I'm afraid Chang Xiao still doesn't know that the thief has already entered the city...

Listening to the shouts of God bless Dashun and Wanshi Yongchang coming from all around, the expression on Chongzhen's face became more and more cold, and he didn't show any anger at all.

Chongzhen suddenly turned around and hurried towards the palace.

Wang Chengen quickly followed closely.

Chongzhen went straight to the palace of the queen...
