Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 555 Li Zicheng Opens the Way

Three days later, everything was ready, and the [-] vanguard battalion led by Li Zicheng fired three cannonballs, and they pulled out their camps and set up their camps.

From the emperor of Dashun to the general of the Ming Dynasty, and then to the vanguard officer personally conquered by Zhu Yousong, the trajectory of this kind of life is simply a parabola with ups and downs.Li Zicheng experienced this kind of multiple suspicious roles in just over a month.

Now Li Zicheng has adapted to these roles. These seem simple, and those who have not personally experienced them do not know what the difficulty is. Even if they are cast by national first-class actors, he will not be able to play them in such a short time. From this point of view, Li Zicheng He really deserves to be a peasant leader, a statesman, a military strategist, a generation of great men who can be bent, stretched, big or small.

And now that Li Zicheng has become a vanguard official, he doesn't dislike his small official position at all, but is grateful to Zhu Yousong.

It's not because Li Zicheng is a man of temperament. In the past ten years, he has rebelled against the imperial court, murdered and set fire everywhere, attacked cities and looted land, went to Yingzhou, captured Fengyang, burned the emperor's mausoleum, occupied Luoyang, served King Fu, entered Beijing, and forced The Chongzhen emperor Meishan hanged himself, which can be described as a heinous crime, too numerous to write down.

It is said that Li Zicheng fell into the hands of the imperial court, hacked into pieces, ransacked his family and wiped out his family, no matter what kind of torture he imposed, he could hardly atone for his crime.

However, Zhu Yousong pardoned all of them with one word, not only to him, but also to all the soldiers under his opponent, as long as they were willing to surrender, they would all forget the past, and he also entrusted him with a heavy task, making Li Zi the Marquis of Xi'an in an exceptional way.

For Li Zicheng and others, this is undoubtedly a blessing from heaven.

But it doesn't stop there, Zhu Yousong is still concerned about the safety of his own daughter Li Na. One of the important goals of this expedition against Daxi is to find ways to rescue Li Na.

This is something Li Zicheng dare not even think about. Li Na is now Zhang Xianzhong's concubine. Zhang Xianzhong knows that he has surrendered to Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Yousong agreed to design to save people. Zhu Yousong treated him like this. Li Zicheng felt that if he didn't know how to be grateful, would he still be a person?
After Li Zicheng's vanguard battalion set off, Zhu Yousong's brigade did not move out that day.

With such a strong team leading the way, Zhu Yousong didn't need to panic at all.In addition, and more importantly, Zhu Yousong deliberately distanced the vanguard battalion from his main force.

Going out to fight again, and living a life of soldiers and horses, Zhu Yousong felt that he had not lived enough in Xi'an.

Zhu Yousong felt that Li Zicheng's palace was very comfortable to live in. Although it was not as luxurious as Beijing's Zijin City, nor could it keep up with the scale of Nanjing's Imperial City, it was a hundred times stronger than the military tents in the wild. Fortunately, this is the palace. .The Forbidden City in Beijing and the Imperial City in Nanjing basically have everything that should be there, but what Beijing and Nanjing don't have is here.

Living here, receiving visits from civil and military generals every day, all day long, the royal banquet is fine wine, the sea of ​​meat and wine, the maids of the palace, singing and dancing, and at night, there are three beauties, Ma Jinhua, He Xuanjiao, and Huimei, who take turns serving Sleeping, what a fairy-like day.

The dazzling Xijing war has been peacefully resolved for more than a month, and Zhu Yousong feels that the freshness is not over yet, and there is a hero like Li Zicheng leading the way, so Zhu Yousong is not in a hurry to get out of the army.

He planned to let Li Zicheng's vanguard battalion go for a day first, and the next day, his brigade would set up camp again.

That night, Zhu Yousong withdrew the singing and dancing and the banquet in advance, and left the screen to the left and right, leaving Xiao Liu, who had just turned 11, waiting in front of his eyes.

Xiaoliu was studying ink, Zhu Yousong spread out the paper roll, held the pen in his hand, after a little thought, he wrote a secret decree in one go.

"Your Majesty's handwriting is so good!" Xiao Liu praised while studying the ink, her black eyes were as smooth as black grapes, her white and tender face had two cute dimples looming.

"Are you sure you didn't compliment me?" Zhu Yousong glanced at her, intending to tease her.

"Liu swears, what he said is absolutely true." Xiao Liu raised a small hand as he spoke, swearing.

Zhu Yousong smiled.Of course he believed that this was Liu from the bottom of his heart, and he traveled here by himself, and it has been more than two years of ups and downs.The brush calligraphy has been passed on by two calligraphers, Huang Daozhou and Wang Duo, reviewed the memorials, and in addition to the words and conversations, it was also influenced by these ministers of the Southern Ming Dynasty and influenced by culture. Now Zhu Yousong’s calligraphy is a family of its own, with strong style and rigid style. .

Even he himself looked a little flustered, just this handwriting, not to mention anything else, if he travels back again, it will be shown to those later generations who don't know what a brush is. It is simply better than a third-rate calligrapher. Book, should be able to earn a lot of money, not to mention a fortune, at least be able to support the family.

After finishing writing, Zhu Yousong carefully reviewed it twice, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he handed it over to Xiao Liu.

Xiao Liu admired it carefully again, dried the ink with her mouth, folded it, and handed it to Zhu Yousong for safekeeping.

"Liu Yes, what did I write?" Zhu Yousong asked suddenly.

Liu was taken aback, then smiled, and quickly replied: "It's a word, it's very beautiful, a very beautiful word, other than that, Liu doesn't know anything."

Zhu Yousong was very satisfied with Xiao Liu's yes answer, this clever little girl is really an elf!
Next, Xiao Liu yelled, asking Zhu Yousong to teach him how to write.

Zhu Yousong was in a good mood, and instructed him to write a few articles. The unique fragrance of the girl's body hit Zhu Yousong's man's heart several times.

Xiao Liu, who is as beautiful as a fairy, already has an adult figure, but when she thinks that this is an 11-year-old budding flower, Zhu Yousong only has the love of the elders, and all the evil thoughts disappear.

Just taught Xiaoliu to write two articles, and Ma Jinhua came in from the outside.

Before I knew it, the second watch had passed.Tonight it was Ma Jinhua's turn to attend bed. Just after taking a bath and changing clothes, she came in style like a flower fairy. Before she arrived, the fragrance diffused. .

Xiao Liu quickly greeted Ma Jinhua, she was a little hazy, and then bid farewell to the master with interest.

On the way back to her room, Xiao Liu was very envious in her heart, looking forward to growing up soon, she must learn literary and martial arts well, to please His Majesty, to serve His Majesty personally like Sister Ma, Sister He, and Sister Mei, Warming the bed for His Majesty, what a longing and honorable thing it should be, Xiao Liu was thinking about this in her heart, and her two big black eyes were shining with happiness.

After Zhu Yousong and Ma Jinhua finished their trip, Ma Jinhua pulled his thoughts back to the matter of Zhu Yousong's personal conquest from the clouds.

"Your Majesty, is it appropriate for you to let Li Zicheng lead the army alone?"
