Chapter 258
The problem with the Dashun Army is that its foundation is not stable, it gains territory quickly and loses it even faster.

It took Li Zicheng three months to conquer Beijing, but it took only one month for Li Zicheng to return to Guanzhong.

When news of Li Zicheng's defeat was received in Northern Zhili and other parts of Shandong, they rebelled upon hearing the news, and the officials appointed by Li Zicheng were overthrown before they took full office.

Shanxi is also surrounded by rebels. Even Henan, which has been ruled for nearly two years, has many rebellious rebellions.

For a time, the territory controlled by the Dashun court, which was born as a bandit, was full of "Lin Dengwan" who rose up everywhere.

On June [-], a group of cavalry rushed from the east, entered the city of Runing, and then galloped along the street to the residence of the defense envoy.

Gao Chengwei hurried forward, held back the horse for the visitor, and asked in surprise, "General Liu, why did you arrive today?"

Liu Heizi got off his horse and handed the whip to his subordinates, with a look of anxiety on his face, "It's this time, how can I sit still, naturally I came here non-stop."

As he said, he walked into the mansion bluntly, "Is my Brother Gao in the mansion?"

"The commander-in-chief thought that General Liu would arrive tomorrow, so he was not in the mansion, but went outside the city to dispatch troops, and arranged for troops to go to Xuzhou to fight against the rebels in Han Jiadi." Gao Chengwei replied, and hurriedly said: "I will take General Liu first. Go to the living room to rest, and then immediately send someone to notify the commander-in-chief."

The news of Li Zicheng's defeat spread to Henan, which also caused many rebellions. In particular, Li Zicheng once flooded Bianzhou with water and plundered eastern Henan. The common people and gentry did not like Li Zicheng.

Historically, Ruzhou occupied by Gao Yihuan and Guide occupied by Liu Heizi were the first to rebel. However, because Gao Yihuan was well governed and Liu Heizi was not bad, the rebellion mainly occurred in Kaifeng Prefecture and the area east of Luoyang.

Liu Heizi waved his hand, "You should inform Brother Gao now, and I will wait in the living room by myself."

Not long after, Gao Yihuan rushed back to the mansion from outside the city, carrying a whip in his hand, and came outside the living room, and saw Liu Heizi pacing back and forth in the hall in a hurry, almost a deep groove was stepped on the ground by him.

Liu Heizi couldn't help but be in a hurry, Guide's mansion is usually a good place, located at the junction of three provinces, and it is fertile and wild for thousands of miles, but once there is a war, he has to pass through his Guide to go north and south, and Liu Heizi's territory is in danger.

Li Zicheng, who was now in full swing, suddenly fell from the sky to the ground, and most of Shandong Province fell to the ground in less than a month or two.

Liu Heizi approached Shandong and took in many Shunguan who had fled from Shandong to Henan. Hearing what they said, his liver trembled with fright, and he suspected that he followed the wrong boss.

In addition, rebellions also occurred in Henan, mainly in the eastern part of Henan that had been ravaged by Li Zicheng. In addition, the Ming Dynasty was ready to move. If the Ming army cooperates with the rebels and wants to recover Henan, they must return to Germany. Liu Heizi is naturally impatient, so Let me ask Gao Yihuan what to do?
"Brother Liu!" Gao Yihuan cupped his hands and walked in.

Liu Heizi turned around, his face beaming with joy, "Brother Gao, you've come back."

Gao Yihuan put the whip on the table first, and Liu Heizi couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Gao, what do you think of the current situation?"

"Brother Liu, don't panic." Gao Yihuan sat down, pressed his hand, and motioned for him to sit down.

"Mother, why don't you panic?" Liu Heizi stared, and said anxiously: "Xu Dingguo, the Henan general of the Ming Dynasty stationed in Suzhou, has already attacked Yongcheng!"

Liu Heizi said worriedly: "Although Guisun was driven back by me, there are rebellions everywhere in Henan, there are tens of thousands of Ming troops in Xuzhou, and the Tartars from Shandong are coming again. How can I not panic. Brother, my mouth is foaming." , the urine is yellow!"

Liu Heizi couldn't sit still at all, pointed to the blisters on his lips, and talked, but found that Gao Yihuan was very calm, unmoved in his heart, suddenly turned his eyes, and asked mysteriously: "Brother Gao, do you have any connections? Why don't you panic at all?"

At present, Da Shunchao looks like he is about to end, coupled with the rebellion in various places, it is easy to panic.

"Panic? What's the use of panic." Gao Yihuan glanced at Liu Heizi, "Our brothers robbed the horses of the Tartars in Shandong, and even the man of the bird princess was killed by us. The Qing army came, and we must not be here. Brothers are good fruit to eat. With the cruelty of the Tartars, if we fall into their hands, we will probably die miserably. We can't solve the problem even if we panic."

Liu Heizi's heart trembled. At the beginning, he really didn't expect that the Tartars would occupy Beijing and kill them all the way to Henan. If he knew, he might have to think about it and wouldn't kill so many Tartars.

Gao Yihuan continued: "The Dashun Army forced Emperor Chongzhen to death, and Crown Prince Chongzhen ascended the throne in Nanjing. In his eyes, we are the enemies who forced his father to death. If the Crown Prince can see the general situation clearly, he may be able to reluctantly accept us, but if Nanjing The imperial court is short-sighted, then we will be enemies on both sides."

"We didn't go to Beijing either! Can we blame the emperor for hanging himself?" Liu Heizi felt a little wronged, and frowned, "Then what should we do?"

"What should we do?" Gao Yihuan said, "Of course we rely on ourselves. Right now, our brothers are working together. As long as we are strong enough, who else will we be afraid of?"

Gao Yihuan cast a glance at Liu Heizi, "Brother Liu, if we beg for help now, it will make people look down on us. It's not like we haven't fought the Tartars before, and there is nothing to be afraid of those idiots in the Ming Dynasty. What we have to do now The thing is not to put a hot face on other people's cold buttocks, but to try our best to stabilize the territory, and only then can we have bargaining chips with others."

Gao Yihuan said with arrogance, but he really didn't know what to do in his heart.

After all, history is very different. Nanming has an emperor that everyone recognizes, which is stronger than in history, and the crown prince must have hated Shunjun after experiencing the destruction of Beijing.

In fact, since the First World War in Shouzhou, Gao Yihuan had some contact with Ma Shiying, and when the news came that Li Zicheng had withdrawn from Beijing, Gao Yihuan immediately expressed his favor to Ma Shiying, expressing the hope that the Ming Dynasty could appease him, but Thaksin sent more than one letter. However, Ma Shiying did not reply to him.

The second brother is also feeling guilty, he can't be tough now, and the Ming Dynasty doesn't care about him at all.

After listening to Gao Yihuan's words, Liu Heizi pondered for a while, and finally nodded, "Brother Gao is right. In this situation, the most important thing is to have soldiers and territory. As long as you are strong enough, you can eat there."

As he said that, Liu Heizi suddenly softened, "But brother Gao, if the Tartars or the Ming army want to attack me, you have to help brother!"

Gao Yihuan walked down, took his hand and said, "Brother Liu, don't you trust me because of our friendship?"

"Believe it, trust it." Liu Heizi nodded. He has limited skills and can't see the future situation clearly, and he still feels a little uneasy, but he trusts Gao Yihuan's vision, so he asked: "Brother Gao, tell me, we want How to preserve the territory."

Gao Yihuan was also dissatisfied with him, "Brother Liu, to tell you the truth, I have already contacted the Ming Dynasty, but the Nanjing side may not think highly of us. What we have to do now is that we will not take the initiative to provoke troubles against the Ming Dynasty, but It can’t be too soft, and besides, we need to clear up the rebellion in Henan as soon as possible, and at the same time expand the territory, let the Ming Dynasty take a look at our strength, so that we can negotiate.”
