Chapter 176 The Guest

After dealing with the missionary affairs, Xiao Tianjian issued a decree to suspend the military attack in Fujian in May, but it made Luo Ru to start activating troops against Guangxi in the south of Huguang.

In the past few months, Luo Rucai was ordered to transfer a group of people from Sichuan and Huguang. On the one hand, he took over Guizhou, which had announced that he would defect to China, and cooperated with the administrative officials who went to office to take charge Guizhou. On the other hand, he transferred troops in Chenzhou and Yongzhou in the south of Huguang, and recruited new recruits in the south of Huguang. The army has gathered more than 40,000 soldiers and horses. By May, these soldiers and horses had finished their training and were ready to send troops.

So Xiao Tianjian issued a decree that Luo Rucai led the army and began to use troops against Liangguang. Chenzhou all the way out of Chenzhou to attack Guangdong Province and launched an attack on Shaozhou and Nanxiong and other places, while Yongzhou all the way pointed the troops to Guilin. In this way, the Yongli Dynasty became nervous and had to mobilize troops to Guilin and The action of Shaozhou Prefecture wanted to stop the attack of the Dazhong Army against Guangdong and Guangxi.

At present, the Ming army of the Yongli Dynasty is very poor in equipment and morale. It is not the opponent of the Dazhong Army, which is close to the modern Jin army. Shortly after Luo Rucai took action, the Dazhong Army defeated the Ming army in Shaozhou, destroying nearly 20,000 horses of the Ming army in one fell swoop, and captured Shaozhou Prefecture at the end of May. The city has opened the passage to Guangzhou.

The other people and horses who set out from Yongzhou also quickly broke through the resistance of the Ming army in Guilin. The front went straight to the city of Guilin. The Guilin guard Ma Fang was invincible and immediately led his troops to surrender to the Dazhong army. In this way, Guilin was also occupied by the Dazhong army, and the Yongli Dynasty was immediately confused. Emperor Yongli was afraid of the Dazhong army. He was angry and went to Guangzhou, so he abandoned the Guangzhou government at the insult of the minister and fled to Nanning.

In this way, the morale of the Ming army of the Yongli Dynasty was even more demoralized, and it unintentionally continued to fight with the Dazhong Dynasty. In just two months, the Dazhong army controlled Nanxiong and other places, and the soldiers pointed straight to Guangzhou Prefecture.

At the same time, after eliminating the resistance of the surrounding Ming army, the Dazhong army in Guilin went south again and began to use troops against Pinglefu and Liuzhoufu.

However, due to the hot weather, some veterans from the north of the Dazhong Army began to suffer from a large area of water and soil after entering the hot south, and there were a large number of sick soldiers, which also had a great impact on the attack of the Dazhong Army. A large number of sick soldiers had to be sent back for adoption. The disease made the next military operation begin to slow down.

Fortunately, before Luo Ru recruited a lot of recruits from the south of Huguang before the rioting of troops. These people were more adaptable to the climate and water and soil in the south, but preserved their combat effectiveness. Otherwise, it would be difficult to make a breakthrough in this operation. However, because of the arrival of the rainy season, the action of the Dazhong army in Guangdong and Guangxi will enter June. Ten years later, I had to stop for the time being.

After reading the war report, Xiao Tianjian agreed to Luo Ru's request to temporarily stop the attack. After all, there were relatively few military disasters in the south. It is not impossible for the Dazhong Dynasty to destroy the Yongli Dynasty overnight. For the Dazhong army, who rely heavily on firearms, they want to continue on a large scale in the rainy season in the south. This will cause a large number of casualties in the Dazhong army, so it is also helpless to temporarily stop the operation.

So after entering the end of June, the military operation in the south, which lasted for three months, was temporarily suspended, and the war situation once again entered a stalemate.

During this period, Xiao Tianjian also welcomed a very important "guest" in Nanjing. In May, the Northwest Army escorted their captured Li Zicheng from Shaanxi to Nanjing.

Tian Jianxiu, who came with Xiao Tianjian, also came with him. After catching Li Zicheng, Tian Jianxiu sold Li Zi to the Dazhong Army. Yan Chongxi originally meant that he was simply in Hanzhong Mansion, killed Li Zicheng and pulled him down, and the rest party of Li Zicheng tried to save him.

However, Yan Chongxi did not dare to make a decision on this matter without permission, but sent someone to ask Xiao Tianjian for instructions. Xiao Tianjian replied that Li Zicheng was to be escorted to Nanjing for trial, so this time it took a long time. After Yan Chongxi got the imperial edict, he took Li Zicheng from Xi'an and escorted him to Nanjing, etc. When we arrived in Nanjing, it was already in May.

Li Zicheng's capture made the Dashun regime he built completely disintegrate. As a hero of this era, Xiao Tianjian didn't know what he thought and wanted to finally see this hero, which led to the detention of Li Zicheng to Nanjing for trial.

Tian Jianxiu also arrived in Nanjing City with the escort. In this regard, Xiao Tianjian personally summoned Tian Jianxiu in the palace and made Tian Jianxiu the Marquis of Hanzhong. According to the original reward for Li Zicheng, he was rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver as promised, which made him walk in the military headquarters, which made Tian Jianxiu very grateful. Thank you again and such a reward. For Tian Jianxiu, it was already something he didn't dare to think of at first. It can be seen that Xiao Tianjian is quite polite to Tian Jianxiu. As for walking in the military headquarters, although it is not a real errand, Tian Jianxiu also knows that as a person who defected over, he can't fight with those who follow Xiao Tianjian. Compared with the generals, it is enough for him to get such benefits, and as long as he does a good job in the future, he may not have a day to come out, so Tian Jianxiu withdrew from the palace after thanking him.

After Li Zicheng entered Nanjing, he was taken to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice of the Dazhong Dynasty and was closely guarded. According to the current system of the Dazhong Dynasty, Li Zicheng will be handed over to Dali Temple for trial.

Li Zicheng sat in the cell with heavy shackles. The conditions of his cell were not as gloomy as he thought at first, and along the way, except for the lack of freedom, the soldiers who escorted him along the way did not deliberately abuse him. Normal eating and drinking basically guaranteed him. Even when he arrived in Nanjing, he was not allowed to take a prison car to show the streets, but was taken over by the prison of the Dazhong Dynasty in a low-key manner and loaded into a cart and transported to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Li Zicheng was already disilated at this time and knew that he could not be spared. When he was caught by Tian Jianxiu, he also thought about avoiding humiliation and simply committed suicide. However, the Dazhong Army was very strict about him. Several suicide attempts were found and stopped by his caretakers, which made Li Zicheng not commit suicide several times. So.

After Li Zicheng was transferred to Xi'an, he found that the Dazhong army was not too embarrassed by him. Although the diet was relatively rough, he did not deliberately starve him. Therefore, after several suicide attempts, Li Zicheng no longer tried to commit suicide, but just waited for his last place for him. Set up.

He knows very well that people like him will never leave his life in the Dazhong Dynasty. It's only a matter of time before he is killed, and he is likely to be killed by the Ming Dynasty like his uncle Gao Yingxiang, but for Li Zicheng, there is no room for him to maneuver.

If he announced that he would turn to the Dazhong Dynasty after the establishment of the Dazhong Dynasty, it is estimated that Xiao Tianjian can still leave him with his life, but now he does not expect Xiao Tianjian to let him live.

These days, Li Zicheng has been looking back on his life. From the first postman, to the Rebel leader who later dominated the battlefield, to Emperor Dashun. Of course, he, the emperor, has a lot of water, but at least he once had hundreds of thousands of people, but in just over half a year, everything he has been in Dazhong. Under the front of the army, the ashes and smoke disappeared, and everything became a thing of the past.

For so many years, he has been thinking about where he is worse than Xiao Tianjian, but this problem has also troubled him for many years. He has never figured it out. When he rebelled, Xiao Tianjian didn't know where he was. When he led the army against Longzhou, Xiao Tianjian was just a supporter. It's just a little leader of less than a thousand people.

However, when he was far more famous than Xiao Tianjian, Xiao Tianjian suddenly rose among all kinds of rebels and created an unparalleled soldier and horse. In just a few years, he overturned the huge and unparalleled Ming Dynasty and controlled more than half of China.

Li Zicheng sat in the cell and finally didn't figured out this question. He was not as good as Xiao Tianjian. Xiao Tianjian could take the world, but he was just a bandit from beginning to end.

While Li Zicheng was sitting in prison thinking about these problems, he heard someone outside the cell shouting, "Welcome to the emperor!" ......”

After hearing this, Li Zicheng's heart suddenly jumped a few times, raised his head and looked outside the cell. At this time, several lanterns suddenly lit up, illuminating the inside and outside of the cell, making Li Zicheng's eyes, who had been used to this dim environment, a little uncomfortable, so he closed it. Then he opened his eyes again and tried his best to look out of the prison.

At this time, he saw a tall man appearing outside the cell in a yellow dragon robe. At this time, Li Zicheng naturally knew his identity as a person who could wear such a dragon robe.

"All gifts are free! The guard will stay, and the others will withdraw first. Don't disturb me!" The man in yellow robe outside the door said loudly.

After the jailers quickly agreed, they immediately exited the cell. Someone opened the iron cable on the cell with a bang and pushed the door open.

Li Zilai wanted to stand up, but after thinking about it, he sat back on the stool again and looked up at the people who walked into the cell.

Several tough bodyguards immediately walked into the cell first, pressed the knife handle of the waist knife one by one, staring at Li Zicheng covetingly, and then the man in a yellow robe followed into the not narrow cell.
