Chapter 98 The Rumor Originator - Manqing

Zhang Biwu was thinking, I don’t know who played a wonderful chess game.

It's really a coincidence! In the case of Liu Yuanxu's rebellion that shocked the whole country of the Ming Dynasty in 1606, it was said that Li Wang was born in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Li Zicheng happened to be born in the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, and he ordered Yingpojunxing to be the star. All the coincidences made the rumors unable to resist. What's more, three people became tigers, and a lie, and they could be true after telling them thousands of times.

People in the Ming Dynasty were very superstitious, and countless believers of superstitious rumors! Don’t think that rumors are useless. The Eighteen-Son Master Artifact that Song Xiance presented greatly encouraged the hearts of Li Zicheng’s subordinates! And made more people join Li Zicheng.

Zhang Biwu couldn't figure out who did it? The rumors were spreading rapidly throughout the world without restraint and quickly! Li Zicheng was the Pojun star and the disaster star, not the one who saved the suffering. If he had no foundation for the human heart in the future, it would be difficult for him to resist the Qing army. No wonder he was defeated quickly!

A word broke out in Zhang Biwu's mind - Qing! Could it be the news spread by the spies of the Qing Dynasty?

Zhang Biwu thought that the Ming Dynasty could not set up spies in the Qing Dynasty. On the contrary, since Huang Taiji was about to pay great attention to the collection of information about the Ming Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty spared no money to bribe spies in the Ming Dynasty to buy spies. It can be said that the entire north of the Ming Dynasty was full of spies from the Qing Dynasty! Even if Dorgon became the regent, he would do it according to Huang Taiji's established policy!

Zhang Biwu was thinking this way, and someone spoke again: "Du Xun, the eunuch who was guarding Xuanfu, and Wang Chengyun, the general, surrendered first. Governor Zhu Zhifeng scolded Du Xun and then hanged himself to death. This affected Tang Tong, who was guarding Juyongguan. Originally, Chongzhen named Tang Tong the Bo, because he wanted him to block Li Zicheng in Juyongguan. Unexpectedly, his most trusted eunuch Du Zhizhi actually came out with Tang Tong to welcome Li Zicheng. Tang Tong called him the minister of the dragon. He knew the current affairs and let the people be ravaged by fire. Alas! When Juyongguan was lost, Beijing would be in danger!"

Some people also said: "Is Beijing really going to be lost? Li Zicheng is the reincarnation of Pojun Star, he is really amazing! Others say that Pojun Star is reincarnated and will generally be destroyed and disrupt a dynasty! The rebellious leaders of each generation, such as Huang Chao, Zhang Jiao, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, are either reincarnated or reincarnated by the Qisha Star, are all very evil!"

Many people nodded, they all agreed with this view, and they also believed that the demise of the Ming Dynasty was not far away, and Li Zicheng could not sit in the throne.

What a pity! Li Zicheng did not notice the market. The people were talking about the remarks that he could destroy the Ming Dynasty and could not live in the country. Now he is only determined to break through Beijing and seize the Ming Dynasty! As long as Beijing is broken, the world has been obtained! He will be comparable to Tang Zong Song Zu Ming Hongwu. Once he is blinded by victory, he will not feel the danger!

Now Li Zicheng no longer has the style of being close to the masses before. He looks arrogant. How could he not lose his heart if he seems to be so?

When Zhang Biwu saw that the scholar who spoke most in the teahouse was the most prone to speak. This scholar was eloquent, as if everything he said had been familiar with it. It was like he had said it many times, as if he had known it.

"There is a problem!" This was the first response in Zhang Biwu's mind! He had to follow this person to find out what was going on!

Zhang Biwu followed him all the way. When he saw this man, he flashed by quickly and looked around, afraid that someone would see him! Soon, the scholar arrived at a remote place, and there was a man waiting.

The man smiled and said, "Very good! You did a good job! If I can destroy the thieves in the Ming Dynasty, you will be able to achieve fame in the future!"

The scholar reached out to take the purse and took it. He was very happy and said, "Of course! I don't believe that the Ming Dynasty will perish in the hands of the thieves! What's more, the Ming Dynasty has half of the southern country! The Ming Dynasty for three hundred years cannot perish at any time, and at least it will be as secure as the Southern Song Dynasty!"

"Hehe!" The man smiled and looked at the scholar contemptuously, mocking the scholar's views in his heart. It was really the scholar's views. He was extremely stupid! The man waved his hand and said, "Continue to spread it! Let more people know that Li Zicheng is the reincarnation of Pojunxing, and he cannot sit in the country! All he can do is to constantly destroy and destroy again!"

"Okay!" The scholar was very happy, so he put his purse in his arms and left happily.

Zhang Biwu, hiding in the corner, couldn't help but smile. He had to capture this person! See if he was a spy from the Qing Dynasty!

When the man was about to leave, the man noticed the danger! He grabbed him with an eagle claw! The man reacted quickly, and he turned around quickly and let him pass.

Zhang Biwu was not surprised. The other party knew martial arts! He even affirmed Zhang Biwu's speculation. Then he followed a sweeping leg and swept the other party to the ground. Then the eagle pounced on the chicken, and then pounced on the man, controlling him.

Zhang Biwu sneered and looked at him, saying, "It's good martial arts! But I won't give you a chance to use it! If I'm right, you're helping the Tartars! Okay! Just offer a price and tell me how much money the Donglu gave you, I'll give you twice as much! As long as you make everything public, you can get the gold, silver and treasures you want, status!"

As soon as Zhang Biwu finished speaking, he saw the other party's contemptuous gaze. Zhang Biwu expected what the other party would do!

It was too late when Zhang Biwu pinched his chin with his hand! Because when he showed his gaze, he knew that he could not escape, so he bit the poison hidden in his mouth and died of poisoning.

"Very poisonous!" Zhang Biwu looked at the dead man, and stood up and said, "It's so terrible! The Qing Dynasty was determined to enter the Central Plains. Li Zicheng received a letter signed by the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty to Li Zicheng on the way eastward. Now before Li Zicheng arrived at the city of Beijing, he had already spread the remarks that Li Zicheng could not sit in the country and spread them to everyone's hearts! If Li Zicheng did not do well in Beijing and lost the hearts of the people, he would really not sit in the country!"

Zhang Biwu now wants to tell Li Yan about this. I hope Li Yan can persuade Li Zicheng so that after Li Zicheng enters Beijing, he can restrain military discipline. Moreover, Liu Zongmin will not imprison all officials of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, he will be very popular!

Zhang Biwu's idea was good, but imprisoning all the officials of the Ming Dynasty and royal relatives to pay for the salary was a strategy that Li Zicheng and his ministers had determined during the Eastern Expedition, and it would not change no matter what.

Li Yan heard what Zhang Biwu said, and he thought the situation was urgent. Now he was not worried about the Ming Dynasty, but about the Qing Dynasty. Now the spies of the Qing Dynasty are everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, so it is impossible not to be careful!

He told Li Zicheng all this, and Li Zicheng smiled and replied that he would be cautious about the Tartars. However, it can be seen that Li Zicheng did not agree with it. He believed that what Li Yan said was a worry-free person. Li Yan was really worthy of being from Qi County, so he would worry-free person!

Li Yan also saw from Li Zicheng's expression that Li Zicheng disagreed. Li Zicheng would not take Li Yan's persuasion to heart. Li Yan finally said it was useless! But he had no choice!

Li Yan had to go back. He discussed with Song Xiance and went to find Niu Jinxing. It would be fine if Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing persuaded each other!

As for Liu Zongmin, Li Yan knew it was unreasonable. Liu Zongmin, like Li Zicheng, was determined to enter Beijing! Moreover, the strategy of chasing wages formulated in Chang'an was proposed by Liu Zongmin. If he wanted him to change, wouldn't he slap himself in the mouth? How could it be possible!

Moreover, the military generals and soldiers in Shaanxi were all motivated with the purpose of breaking through Beijing and enjoying themselves in Beijing. It was difficult for Li Zicheng to rectify the military discipline. After the city was broken, the soldiers were not allowed to act as a mighty person in Beijing and enjoy it. This was difficult!

What disappointed Li Yan was that Niu Jinxing avoided it. Knowing that what Li Yan mentioned was the one who offended the Shaanxi generals the most. Li Zicheng relied most was the Shaanxi generals, and the status of Shaanxi generals was no lower than that of Niu Jinxing! If Niu Jinxing offended these generals, his status would be in danger!

When Li Yan saw this, he could only sigh! He knew that he could not persuade him anymore. After the city of Beijing was captured, he would persuade Li Zicheng to win the hearts of the people in Beijing.

Beijing is the political center of the country, and everyone in the country is staring at Beijing! Li Zicheng's every move in Beijing will touch the nerves of everyone in the country! At that time, I will persuade Li Zicheng again, hoping that he can persuade him! Li Yan thought in his heart that as a minister of Dashun, he had to be loyal to Dashun! He was only thinking about dedicating all his strength to Li Zicheng's hegemony.

Seeing this, Zhang Biwu knew that Li Yan, who was deeply influenced by the thought of ignorance, could not persuade him, so he was ready to enter Beijing.

When Li Zicheng's army was aiming directly at Beijing, the three camps under the city of Beijing were vulnerable and quickly defeated. There were no defenders in the entire Beijing. Even if Chongzhen ordered Wu Sangui to give up Ningyuan and return to Beijing quickly, Chongzhen made a mistake. He asked Wu Sangui to escort the people to serve the king, which would delay Wu Sangui's advance.

Wu Sangui was not a loyal minister, otherwise he would have divided his troops into two groups, one of which would have escorted the people, and the other was composed of elite soldiers and generals, and quickly marched to the city of Beijing.

Because it is said that Li Zicheng brought at least 200,000 to Beijing, Wu Sangui was afraid that his troops would be destroyed when he arrived at the city of Beijing, so he forced himself to escort the people under the order, thus avoiding this. Hong Chengchou could also see this. Later, he persuaded Dorgon to surrender Wu Sangui and Wu Sangui defeated Li Zicheng.
