The officials were helpless. Faced with Chongzhen's decree and Lin Fan's royal guards, they could not resist at all and could only accept it.
"Comrades, please take good care of yourself after you go back. If you need to buy vegetables, meat, etc., you can tell Jin Yiwei. Jin Yiwei can buy it for you, but you have to pay!"
Lin Fan said with a smile.
After the morning court, Chongzhen wanted to keep Lin Fan for a chat, but Lin Fan didn't give him the chance at all and was anxious to go home to catch up on his sleep.
Shanhaiguan.
Snapped!
Wu Sangui slapped the table with his palm, and he clenched the letter in his hand with his left hand. His face was full of murderous intent. The generals standing on both sides frowned when they saw Wu Sangui's expression.
Some time ago, a letter from Emperor Chongzhen arrived. After Chongzhen saw it, he just sneered. This letter did not seem to be sent by Emperor Chongzhen. Why was General Wu so angry?
"General, what's wrong?"
One person asked in a deep voice.
"It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others! Now in the capital, there is a young boy named Lin Fan. Somehow, he has now become the commander of the Jinyi Guards!"
"This person is so arrogant and domineering that he actually insulted my parents in a letter. If I don't kill him, it's hard to understand the hatred in my heart!"
Wu Sangui said coldly.
At first, when he saw Chongzhen's letter, he just smiled contemptuously. He was confident that Chongzhen would never accept Chen Yuanyuan as his concubine!
After all, Chongzhen and Chen Yuanyuan had known each other before him. If he could accept Chen Yuanyuan as his concubine, why should he reward her?
Are those corrupt people in the Donglin Party vegetarian?
However, the content of the letter sent this time by the man named Lin Fan was extremely filthy. Not only did he write down all the positions he wanted to play with Chen Yuanyuan, but he also said that if he didn't come back for one day, he would do it ten times a day!
Not only that, this kid also said that he would adopt his father as his adopted son. If his father didn't agree, he would be beaten ten times a day until he agreed!
This person must be killed!
kindness!
Lin Fan!
Who is this guy?
I’ve never heard of this guy!
The faces of the generals present were all full of doubts. After a while, Wu Sangui tore up the letter in his hand and said coldly: "Send my military order and the whole army will set off! Abandon Shanhaiguan and return to the capital to resume orders!"
"General! Now that Li Zicheng has established a foothold in Xi'an, he is afraid that he will proclaim himself emperor. Moreover, Li Zicheng has written to you several times, hoping that you will surrender to him, and has promised you the position of general!"
"Yes, General, if we return to Beijing with one hundred thousand soldiers at this time, we will have to confront Li Zicheng head-on. Li Zicheng is now so powerful that we, one hundred thousand soldiers, are no match for him!"
"Li Zicheng has an army of one million, including many elites. Our 100,000 people are definitely no match for us. General, please think twice!"
Wu Sangui decided to return to the capital, but his group of generals did not want to. They just wanted to drag him to the capital and be captured, and then directly surrender to Li Zicheng.
In this way, they can get the maximum benefit. If they return to Beijing at this time, they will have to face two choices!
The first one is to confront Li Zicheng and defend the Ming Dynasty. If successful, they will be the greatest contributors to the Ming Dynasty. Since Emperor Taizu, the Ming Dynasty has never made a marquis. This Wu Sangui can definitely be made a marquis.
This second option is to surrender if you are no longer able to defeat him. This is a surrender, and the treatment will be very different.
Wu Sangui thought so at first, but at this time, they were in Shanhaiguan, short of food and money, and could not delay for a few days.
If he asked Chongzhen for the one million taels of silver and Chongzhen sent him, he would really not go back. The problem is, Chongzhen only gave him one hundred thousand taels of silver.
This is enough to feed an army of 100,000 for a few days. Not counting the letter written by Chongzhen, he can still tolerate it, but the letter written by Lin Fan is too nasty and cannot be tolerated!
"Let's go back to the capital now. I'll kill that little Lin Fan and take you to surrender to Li Zicheng. By then, the world will be unified, and we will still be heroes!"
Wu Sangui said in a deep voice.
"General! You really have a brilliant plan. In this way, we can also achieve great success in seizing the capital!"
One person said in surprise.
Wu Sangui nodded, and an army of 100,000 troops set off towards the capital. News that Wu Sangui's army had returned to the capital came back. When the officials learned of this, they were extremely surprised.
"Great! General Wu is actually going to return to the capital. When he returns to the capital, we and other officials will have a backer!"
"Haha! That's an army of 100,000 people. It's better than the 40,000 to 50,000 Jinyi Guards. A large number of these Jinyi Guards are newly recruited and cannot form combat effectiveness!"
"Moreover, Wu Sangui is also young and energetic, and Lin Fan doesn't know how to advance or retreat. If the two of them meet, if we stir things up, we will definitely turn them into enemies!"
Before Wu Sangui arrived in the capital, officials had already planned how to use Wu Sangui to deal with Lin Fan.
After Lin Fan woke up, he heard the report from Bai Husi that Wu Sangui was coming back.
"Yeah! That's great! The rebellious Wu Sangui is finally coming back! My Tiger and Leopard Rider will be born soon!"
Lin Fan said with great joy.
As long as Chongzhen can be allowed to hand over the 100,000 troops to his command, then these 100,000 soldiers will become his tiger and leopard cavalry. By then, Wu Sangui will only die!
"grown ups?
General Wu Sangui is coming back, and you are so happy. It seems that you have been recruiting Jin Yiwei during this period, and you are under a lot of pressure!"
"Yes, it's fine now. Wu Sangui is back and has brought back an army of 100,000 people. The pressure on our Jin Yiwei will be much less!"
The Jin Yiwei of Baihu Division said happily.
Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "Haha! Wu Sangui didn't come back sooner or later, why did he come back now?
You think things are too simple!"
"His Majesty had long ago ordered Wu Sangui to return to the defense and guard Xi'an, but Wu Sangui's troops did not move at all, resulting in Xi'an being captured by Li Zicheng!"
"It can be seen that this person cannot be trusted. If you want to defend the capital, you still have to rely on the Jinyi Guards! The recruitment of Jinyi Guards must be accelerated, so that the arsenal can build weapons faster!"
"Yes! Sir!"
The Jin Yiwei of Baihu Division said hurriedly.
After what happened in the past few days, they had blind confidence in Lin Fan. Whatever Lin Fan asked them to do, they would do it from the bottom of their hearts.
"No, to be on the safe side in this matter, I'd better go to that silly boy from Chongzhen and ask for an imperial edict. When Wu Sangui enters the city, I will take the Jinyi Guards to subdue the 100,000-strong army!"
Lin Fan thought in his heart, and then entered the palace.
It happened to be afternoon. Chongzhen had dealt with government affairs for the day and took some time to fish at the lake. When Lin Fan arrived, Chongzhen invited Lin Fan to go fishing together and enjoy some rare leisure time between father and son.
