Li Zicheng finally began to pay the price for his wrong strategy.
After he returned to Xi'an, he fully hoped to use the strategic location in Guanzhong to keep the Qing army at bay and stabilize the situation.
But when he truly understood the situation in Shaanxi, he couldn't help but feel cold.
It turned out that after he marched to the capital, the situation in Shaanxi did not get any relief.
From the beginning of winter until midsummer, there was no rain, causing all the seedlings in the fields to die due to the sun, resulting in no harvest.
The plague that was originally raging in Xi'an also began to spread to the surrounding areas, causing more deaths. People were panicked and countless people began to flee.
Shaanxi now needs money but no money, food but no food, and people but no one. It can no longer support Dashun's operational needs.
Li Zicheng had a premonition that something was not going to happen, and he felt angry at the same time.
It was his idea to march into the capital, but at this moment he just wanted to find a scapegoat to vent his anger.
"Where is Li Yan?"
Of course Li Yan is not called Li Yan.
But the ministers here looked at me and I looked at you, and they all looked at each other.
He knew even more that if he fell into Xia Jun's hands, he would definitely not end well.
The results paid off quickly.
In desperation, he ordered in July that Tian Jianxiu, Gao Yigong, Zhao Guangyuan, Liu Zongmin and others command an army of more than 100,000 to cross the Yellow River and enter Shanxi for reinforcements.
Kuang Zhao, the governor of Jiangxi, was fighting alone in the yamen. He heard the shouts of killing gradually spreading from the far distant city wall into the city.
In addition, Mianhou Yuan Zongdi was asked to station troops in Linfen, and Liu Rukui was also stationed in Weihui Mansion, Henan.
As an important adviser to Li Zicheng, Li Yan had always been by Li Zicheng's side, so there was no reason for him to disappear for no reason.
Nanchang was occupied and the war in Jiangxi came to an end.
He spent decades in ups and downs in officialdom, and was greatly favored by the Ming Emperor throughout his life.
"No, it seems that since we passed Tongguan, I don't know where Mr. Li has been."
"Your Majesty, there is no one in Mr. Li's residence. Not only is Mr. Li missing, but his wife is also missing."
Li Zicheng fully believed that with this elite force, he could compete with the Qing army.
In just one stick of incense, black blood flowed out from his seven orifices. Then his head tilted and he died completely.
Now that the Ming Dynasty is gone, His Majesty the Emperor cannot be left too lonely on the road to hell.
"Come, come and have a look at Mr. Li's house."
The East China Sea Fleet and the First Division have completed the siege, with a strength of 30,000, fully giving enough respect to this provincial capital of Jiangxi and a strong city in Gansu.
Zuo Rong and Zuo Hua made an explanation to Li Yuanding and then left the army and returned to Shandong.
As they talked, everyone felt something was wrong.
Soon, Li Zicheng suffered a bitter taste.
In order to stop the Qing army, Li Zicheng made multiple arrangements in Shanxi.
In order for the two of them to successfully infiltrate Dashun's senior management, the Intelligence Department worked hard for several years to perfectly forge their identities.
That is the division of troops.
Including his wife, Red Lady, who also has a pseudonym.
Li Zicheng became even more angry.
It seems that this arrangement can establish a complete line of defense, allowing the Qing army to take advantage of it. But in fact, there are not many troops and horses between each department, and they cannot take care of each other.
Amidst the miserable laughter, Kuang Zhao picked up the wine bottle on the table and drank it down one sip after another.
The remaining Nan'an Prefecture, Jianchang Prefecture and Ganzhou Prefecture, seeing that there was nothing they could do, opened the city and surrendered one after another.
In the office of the Henan Division of the Ministry of Intelligence, Li Yan, the former important minister of Dashun, and his wife Hong Niangzi appeared together.
"You rebels and traitors! Send the order, catch Li Yan and his wife, and kill them on the spot."
Li Yan's true identity is actually Tang Menglou, an agent of the Henan Division of the Xia State Intelligence Department.
On the surface, this arrangement was comprehensive, but Li Zicheng made the same mistake that the Ming Dynasty made when it faced the Qing Dynasty.
Yan Yuanzhong, director of the Henan Department, laughed heartily and came to greet him personally.
Only she can play the role of a chivalrous and powerful red lady.
Li Guo sent people to investigate Li Yan's hometown, but he didn't know that the remaining people there were actually arranged by the Intelligence Department, so there were no mistakes.
He ignored that with so many soldiers and horses attacking, there was very little food and fodder for logistical transportation.
This name was given by Zuo Mengeng.
These soldiers and horses were originally stationed in Shaanxi and various places in Shanxi. They did not have to travel around and were considered elite.
He then knew that the situation was over.
At this point, what else don’t you understand?
Li Zicheng slapped his hand on the table and cursed through gritted teeth.
"Report, our mission has been successfully completed, please return."
"You two have done a great job. This time the national strategy can be implemented smoothly, and you deserve the first credit."
There was no need for Tang Menglou and Zhao Zhu to do anything else, so the Intelligence Department recalled them both.
It's approaching July, and Xia Kingdom's founding celebration is about to be held.
It is none other than Zhao Zhu, the lieutenant colonel martial arts instructor of the Xia Army Special Forces and the founder of Mantis Boxing.
He ordered General Zhang Tianlin to lead 10,000 troops to guard Datong, Wenshui Bo Chen Yongfu to lead 10,000 troops to guard Jinzhong, and Pingnan Bo Liu Zhong to guard Pingzhi.
First, Zhang Tianlin of Datong was killed because of Jiang Yu's rebellion, and the front lines of the Great Wall were opened wide.
"Li Guangzheng, I leave the situation here to you. If there is resistance or rebellion, please inform the garrison."
After all, Jiangxi's resistance was all caused by him. No matter how tolerant Xia Jun was, he would not let him go.
Xia Jun rushed into the government office and saw that his condition did not change at all. He just dragged the body aside, no different from ordinary people.
Below Nanchang City.
And even without them, Li Zicheng was still on the wrong path and never returned.
The first person he thought of was Li Yan, who initiated the march to the capital.
Now that Li Zicheng has withdrawn from the capital and is retreating steadily, his demise is not far away.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that it would be impossible to catch Li Yan and his wife again in this life.
Amid the loud charge horns, the Xia army soldiers stepped forward in an orderly manner, and began to advance into the city steadily and steadily.
Top bosses like Zuo Rong and Zuo Hua must rush back to participate.
The subsequent rebellions in various parts of Shanxi made the Shun army focus on one thing and not the other. They were so anxious that they did not have much energy to fight against the Qing army.
The red lady is even more powerful.
Intelligence from the front lines was gathered, letting Li Zicheng understand that Shanxi was in danger.
The siege began when the sun rose. By noon, the city walls on the north and west sides of Nanchang had been blown down in many places. An untold number of Ming soldiers were killed on the city walls.
Song Xiance gritted his teeth and said, "I haven't seen Mr. Li for several days."
So much so that the soldiers and horses that followed were afraid to go up.
What the Qing army is best at is actually concentrating its forces. You can come in any direction, but I will only go in one direction.
This also caused Xia Jun's actions to pause and enter a rest stage.
Southern Zhili, Jiangxi, Guangdong and other places that had just been brought under the rule also began to enter the recovery stage.
Xia Jun even established advance bases in these places to prepare for the next stage of operations.
But at this moment, everyone's heart is affected by Jinan.
What does the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China look like?
