Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 556
"My concubine, tell me, what's inappropriate?" Zhu Yousong said, smiling and hugging Ma Jinhua's tender body around him.

Ma Jinhua blushed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, a big bandit like Li Zicheng has been fighting against the court for more than ten years. It is not uncommon for him to turn back after surrendering. He also chose to surrender when he was trapped in the chariot gorge and had nowhere to go. Accepting the summons, but not long after, they gathered a crowd to rebel. Your Majesty must be wary of such capricious people. It is already dangerous for the couple to stay by your majesty's side in this expedition, because the thieves that your majesty is attacking this time are similar to Li Zicheng in Qin and Jin Dynasties The alliance, why let him lead the army alone, if he brings 5000 troops and surrenders to the bandits, what should your majesty do?"

Zhu Yousong laughed, "The most important thing about loving a concubine is listening to the loyal Marquis, right?"

Li Zicheng has mainly fought against Chongzhen for more than ten years. Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Tingfang, Hong Chengchou, Yang Sichang, etc. have dealt with Li Zicheng a lot, but this has become history. It has been many years since Li Zicheng was trapped in the carriage gorge. Even Zhu Yousong only learned the details from the historical records of later generations and integrated the memory of this body. Ma Jinhua is a teenage girl, of course she doesn't know these things, she should be through her grandmother. Qin Liangyu learned about it.

Qin Liangyu was the commander-in-chief of Sichuan during the Chongzhen period. He fought many thieves like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. In the land where the Tartars spread troops in Jifu, Ma Jinhua was not born when Qin Liang led his white soldiers to serve the king.It has been nearly two years since Zhu Yousong and Ma Jinhua played against Li Zicheng, so Zhu Yousong said so.

Ma Jinhua nodded, and hurriedly said modestly: "Your Majesty is very aware of the details. All the concubine's words come from her grandmother's precepts and deeds. I dare not talk about anything high in front of Your Majesty."

Speaking of Qin Liangyu, Zhu Yousong didn't admire him and said: "Old Qin loves the hero of Qing Dynasty. Many relatives of the Qin and Ma families died in battle for the Ming Dynasty. Forgetting to work hard for the country, seeking talents for me, and giving me my good granddaughter, I am moved by the high morals of the Qin and Ma families. However, I have carefully considered the matter of Li Zicheng being the pioneer, and I intend to let He Li Zicheng made my return."

Originally, Zhu Yousong praised the Qin and Ma families for their loyalty and great achievements for generations in front of Ma Jinhua. Ma Jinhua was very happy to hear it, and felt a little passionate and extremely honorable, but Zhu Yousong's last sentence was surprising.

"Intentionally make Li Zicheng rebel?" Ma Jinhua thought she had heard wrong, so her eyes widened.

Zhu Yousong said earnestly: "If she, Li Zicheng, hadn't rebelled, this battle would have been difficult. Zhang Xianzhong is not what he used to be."

Don't look at the emperors and subjects of the Ming Dynasty who also vilified Zhang Xianzhong as a traitor, in fact, he is also an emperor now.And although Onishi is now a country within a country, the territory ruled by the Onishi regime is really not small.

Two years ago, Zhang Xianzhong took advantage of Li Zicheng's Dashun army and the remnants of the Ming Dynasty to take care of him when he took advantage of the tartars to go south, occupied the whole of Sichuan, and established the Daxi regime in Chengdu, the throne, and the reign name Dashun.

After Zhu Yousong gained a firm foothold in the south of the Yangtze River in the past two years, he led the soldiers of the Ming army in the south of the Yangtze River to fight endlessly with the Tartars and the bandit Li Zicheng. Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi ushered in the spring of development again.

Now Daxi has more than 60 strong soldiers, and thousands of generals who are used to fighting. The most famous are the Four Kings, that is, his four godsons.

The first is King Sun Kewang of Pingdong, the second is Liu Wenxiu, King of Funan, the third is Li Dingguo, King of Anxi, and the last is Ainengqi, King of Dingbei.

The four kings are all talented generals, and all of them are brave and good at fighting. The four kings use Sichuan as their base, radiate westward, southeast, northwest, and expand their territories.

It is all because the Ming army and the Dashun army have been fighting against each other for several months. This is undoubtedly the most conducive to the development of Daxi's power. Seizing this favorable opportunity, Zhang Xianzhong ordered his four godsons to unite a strong army, and desperately expanded the territory to the outside world. It has already occupied Hanzhong and Ankang in Shaanxi Province, has opened to Jiujiang in the east, and occupied most of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi in the west and south.

Therefore, the current Onishi has a vast territory.Now the territory under the actual rule of Daxi includes the whole of Sichuan, most of Yunnan and Guizhou, all of Hubei, Guangxi and Jiangxi, and parts of Shaanxi.Its strength has far surpassed Li Zicheng's Dashun Kingdom at the beginning, and it borders on the sphere of influence of Tang Wang Zhu Yujian to the east.

Now it is against Zhu Yousong's Ming Dynasty. In addition to Zhang Xianzhong, the Great Western King, there is also the Tang King Zhu Yu. Emperor Wu had already occupied Fujian and Guangdong, and Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with Hou Xun as his brain trust, Zhu Yihai was also secretly recruiting troops.

Hou Xun, an old guy, wanted to avenge his son Hou Fangyu. In order to avoid Zhu Yousong's pursuit, he ran to King Lu. It happened that Zhu Yihai and Zhu Yousong also had an inseparable knot.This is because when the warlords of the four towns sent out troops to support themselves and refused to listen to the court, Lu Wang Zhu Yihai and Dongping Bo Liu Zeqing got too close. After Liu Zeqing was eradicated by Zhu Yousong, Zhu Yihai was afraid that he would be affected, so he ran from Shandong to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Settle down in the area.

Zhu Yihai and Hou Xun were connected by the same fate, and the two hit it off with each other. At first they just ran for their lives, and they didn't dare to blatantly raise the flag to rebel, especially the warlords of the four towns were successively dealt with by Zhu Yousong, the Tartars were expelled from the customs, and Zhu Yousong recovered. The Ming Dynasty re-established its capital in Beijing, and Zhu Yousong then began to deal with Li Zicheng. The two felt even more frightened and secretly stepped up their efforts to expand their power.

The power of Daxi and the derivation of Emperor Longwu made them feel that they could fish in troubled waters, secretly recruiting troops and buying horses, which intensified. Now King Lu's anti-Daming heart is ready to come out. Zhu Yousong has already known this through Jin Yiwei, but he has not had time to deal with them.

In other words, although Li Zicheng has surrendered to Zhu Yousong's Ming Dynasty in this land, there are still three major anti-Ming forces: Zhang Xianzhong, Zhu Yujian, Zheng Zhilong, and Zhu Yihai.

Of course, at present, the most powerful one is Daxi Wang Zhang Xianzhong.

But when Zhu Yousong said that, Ma Jinhua didn't take it seriously. Of course, Ma Jinhua understood Zhang Xianzhong's strength, and Zhu Yousong didn't exaggerate.But if this is the case, why does His Majesty want Li Zicheng to surrender to Zhang Xianzhong?

Therefore, she was puzzled, "Your Majesty, since you know that the thief is so powerful, why do you have to create conditions for Li Zicheng? Letting him surrender to Zhang Xianzhong, isn't it like adding wings to a tiger? If Li Zicheng really went to Daxi, It's like a tiger entering a deep mountain or a dragon entering the sea."

Zhu Yousong was amused in his heart, I have thought about this a long time ago, I am neither stupid nor stupid, how could I create conditions with Li Zicheng to give him soldiers to turn against me?

"What Aifei said is not bad, but Li Zicheng rebelled by order this time, and rebelled by order, does Aifei understand?" Zhu Yousong said with a sly smile.

At this moment, Ma Jinhua's mind finally turned around. It turned out that His Majesty used the tactic of bombing surrender, and asked Li Zicheng to pretend to surrender to Zhang Xianzhong, go there as an undercover agent to save people, and cooperate with the inside and outside to make troubles.

However, Ma Jinhua, who has won Qin Liangyu's true biography, is extremely alert and has military talent, and soon thought of a serious problem, "Your Majesty, Li Zicheng is by no means someone in the pool. What if he really betrayed and led the crowd to surrender?" What should Zhang Xianzhong do?"

Zhu Yousong rejoiced with confidence, "Don't worry about loving my concubine, don't worry, I have my own plan."
