"Is Li Zicheng actually captured? Or is it in Hancheng!?"

Under the gaze of Wang Chengen and Han Zanzhou, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the memorial in his hand, frowned, and said in a little surprised: "How could he be captured? He was also imprisoned under the command of Yongwei Camp..."

Seeing his own emperor like this, Wang Chengen and Han Zanzhou looked at each other and showed a suspicious expression. Who is Li Zicheng?

Emperor Chongzhen raised his head and said to Han Zanzhou: "Han Zanzhou, did Zhou Yuji submit a secret report?"

Li Zicheng's capture in Hancheng was indeed beyond Emperor Chongzhen's expectations. In a sense, the Ming Dynasty was cut off from this person.

"Your Majesty, I submitted it."

Under the gaze of Emperor Chongzhen, Han Zanzhou quickly took out his secret song from his sleeve, bowed and said, "There are many people who have met before, I am..."

Emperor Chongzhen did not want to listen to what Han Zanzhou said. Seeing this, Wang Chengen quickly walked towards Han Zanzhou, took the secret memorial and submitted it to the imperial court.

"My memory, Zhou Yuji, kowtowed in Hancheng and bowed again..."

With many thoughts, Emperor Chongzhen opened this secret memorial and read it carefully.

The secret report presented by Zhou Yuji was very consistent with that presented by Hong Chengchou, but there were significant differences in some battle situations.

‘This Hong Chengchou was born as a civil servant, and the writing style of the Spring and Autumn Period is truly amazing.’

Emperor Chongzhen sighed in his heart, "A few changes have changed the nature of the Battle of Hancheng. No wonder Wang Zuokao, Miao Mei and others were killed in Hancheng."

After all, it is the tiger general I recognize!

However, the report of the victory of the State Dynasty also changed the first contribution of the Yongweiying Camp.

Hong Chengchou is a man with strategy, a view of the overall situation, and a strategic vision. When the situation in quelling the rebellion in Shanxi and Shaanxi is stable, he must try to promote the military affairs department and no longer ask him to stay in the place.

If this person can use it well, it will have excellent miraculous effects on subsequent suppression of rebels and builders.’

Through the secret memorial submitted by Zhou Yuji, Emperor Chongzhen had a clearer understanding of the battle in Hancheng and understood that Li Zicheng was captured, which was true.

Even in this secret memorial, there were things that Emperor Chongzhen felt happy.

In the past few days, Zhou Yuji condemned the soldiers under his command and found Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, Liu Zongmin, Li Laiheng and others.

During this period, he also planned several heavenly punishment actions, and in the name of a thief, he eliminated a group of evil gentry and landlords who trampled on the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty and had a poor reputation!

"Zhou Qing, I really did not read you wrong."

After closing the secret memorial, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "In Shaanxi, Yang He is doing big things with great enthusiasm, and you are doing big things without saying a word.

OK.

Yu Hancheng destroyed Wang Zuoguai, Miao Mei and other troops, captured Li Zicheng's uncle and nephew, and collected a batch of seedlings for me. In the future, the Ming Dynasty will enthrone the Duke of the Kingdom, and you will be one!"

“!!”

Wang Chengen and Han Zanzhou's face changed slightly, and they looked at his prince with some fear. If you say this, then Zhou Yuji will be successful in the future.

What an honor to be granted the title of Duke.

What exactly did Zhou Yuji do? He actually asked his own emperor to appreciate it so much.

"Han Zanzhou, you leave the palace immediately, pick a team of people from the Xichang, and rush to Shaanxi."

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Han Zanzhou and said, "Go to Hancheng to find Zhou Yuji's troops, and take Li Zicheng's uncle and nephew, and join Zhou Qing to recruit all the talents and bring them back to the capital. Zhou Qing can be ordered to select an elite soldier and follow the team to take the custody.

.

Remember, no one left behind by Zhou Qing, and you will bring all the people you give to you. If you don’t have to go back to the inner court.”

"Slave...slave, follow the order!"

Han Zanzhou endured his fear and bowed and responded under the gaze of Emperor Chongzhen.

The emperor's clear attitude is too clear.

If the errand is done, he will never escape death.

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, ten Han Zanzhou and hundreds of Han Zanzhou could not match one Li Zicheng.

This person was captured in the Battle of Hancheng, and Emperor Chongzhen had a good idea in his heart.

Speaking of courier Li Zicheng, the history of re-employment to entrepreneurship is full of drama.

In the first year of Chongzhen, the post station was abolished, and Li Zicheng lost his post and lost his job. That year was his most frustrated year.

Debts are paraded in the streets.

His wife cuckolded him.

He angrily killed his adulterer and mistress, led his nephew Li Guo to flee, and fled to Gansu in the second year of Chongzhen.

Li Zicheng, who had killed someone, also changed his mind and nature.

It was also in this year that although Li Zicheng had a job in the army, he killed people again because he was in need of pay and launched a mutiny, which directly caused the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty.

It was also in this year that Huang Taiji led the eight banners of the empire, and took the Mongolian to enter the pass, giving the Ming Dynasty a heavy blow.

Li Zicheng eventually defected to Gao Yingxiang, and was known as the "rebellion general". He joined Wang Zuoguai, who was not in the mud (Zhang Cunmeng).

When talking about Li Zicheng's journey from unemployment, to re-employment, and then to entrepreneurship, he did not mention Emperor Chongzhen everywhere, but was influenced by Emperor Chongzhen's decision everywhere.

This Ming Dynasty is such a big chess that can be linked!

‘Since I have been influenced by myself, there have been significant changes in the rebellion and quelling affairs in Shanxi and Shaanxi, so I can simply open my eyes.’

Looking at Han Zanzhou's hurried departure, Emperor Chongzhen said in his heart: "If possible, put Li Zicheng, the general, into the vast world of southern Liaoning.

What would it be like to take advantage of the reality of Jianlu's brutal rule and incite the oppressed and exploited Liao people to cause a situation of wandering and rebellion within the territory of Jianlu's Eight Banners?

Even the Ming Dynasty can be dragged to death by the bandits. How will Jianlu deal with this when encountering this?

Not to mention more, only three years!

Even if Li Zicheng was killed by the Eight Banners of Jianlu or subjugated by Huang Taiji in the end, it would only take three years to get a precious breathing time for the Ming Dynasty.’

In the vast territory of China, the most unabashed are ambitious people.

How many ambitious are there among the following Jianlu and bandits?

How many ambitious people are there in the court, including the honorary and civil servants?

How many ambitious people were there in the vassals, local officials, gentry, landlords, etc. under the Ming Dynasty?

Emperor Chongzhen also had his own ambitions.

But he still lacks time.

If the situation exposed by the Ming Dynasty was not as critical as before, and could make Emperor Chongzhen respond calmly and reduce external pressure with the flow, then what he planned could be implemented one by one.

Emperor Chongzhen did not have the idea of ​​capturing Li Zicheng.

But now that Li Zicheng has been captured, Emperor Chongzhen’s idea has also been understood.

He wanted to regain Li Zicheng and asked him to work honestly for himself. Emperor Chongzhen thought this was a thunder and he had to be careful at all times. Maybe it would explode at any time.

But it would be a pity to kill it directly.

If Li Zicheng could make the best use of his own and let him go to Liaodong to make trouble, Emperor Chongzhen would like to know what kind of situation the territory stolen by Jianlu would fall into.

Perhaps Li Zicheng could slow down Huang Taiji's integration of Jianlu Eight Banners, initially realize the centralization of the Eight Banners, and weaken Daishan's authority.

Then he led the Korqin Grassland, North Korea and other places, and the strategic depth of the eight banners of Jianlu, including the war mobilization power, was greatly improved.

Although the Jianlu Eight Banners showed a strong deterrence to the Ming army in the area in front of Liao, there were also many internal conflicts and class conflicts within the territory they occupied, especially the oppressed Liao people. Someone really dared to rise up.

Once momentum is established, there will definitely be people following you.

At that time, taking advantage of Li Zicheng's traversal of Liaodong, he would plan to temper the new army, and take advantage of the chaos to occupy some cities, and actively open up the situation in southern Liaoning. Perhaps the whole situation would be reversed.

Moreover, there are also conflicts within the Jianlu Eight Banners, especially when Huang Taiji inherited the Khan throne and caused a banner change storm.

This is called the current two yellow flags (formerly two white flags), and the current two white flags (formerly two yellow flags), both hidden a lot of hostility and dissatisfaction.

‘This matter needs to be planned well.’

The more Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, the more he thought he could give it a try, 'Even if Li Zicheng rose up in Liaodong, the longer the three-way chess, the more the Ming Dynasty would be.

If Li Zicheng was unfortunately killed in battle or was subdued by Jianlu, it would last for at least three years, and the entire battle pattern would also change significantly.

We must think carefully about how to increase the strength of Li Zicheng in Liao and ask him to take away a batch of excellent firearms. It will eventually be exhausted, but the craftsmen cannot give it to him.

You can try to reach an arms deal and ask Li Zicheng to exchange the plundered gold and silver, but this matter needs to be done more secretly and cannot be published...'
