By the way, the Mingshun army fought for three days and three nights under the Hanjing city, and fought in a dim sky, the sun and the moon were gone, and countless dead and tens of thousands of corpses were killed and injured. Even the palace was filled with a vomiting smell of decay.

News of the fall of Yingshan had long been heard in Li Zicheng's ears. When he learned that the retreat had been cut, he not only did not panic, but instead urged the army to fight more firmly. He knew that Yu Wan's army was coming soon, and there would be a glimmer of vitality only when he arrived before he could conquer the capital.

Under the peasant army's desperate attack, Li Chengdong gradually could not withstand, and the east gate was broken many times. The Shun army once attacked the imperial city. Fortunately, Feng Dai led thousands of imperial troops to fight to the death to resist, so he barely stabilized the situation.

In Ganyang Palace, Chongzhen had not closed his eyes for three days. At the time when the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, the whereabouts of Princess Lingxiang, his most beloved, were unknown.

In anger, Zhu Youjian locked all the palace maids of Zhaoxue Palace in the princess's bedroom and even his personal maid Yu You were whipped.

These days, Chongzhen was exhausted, but the ministers of the Ming Dynasty did not relieve him at all, and he was still chattering and criticizing each other in the hall.

"After several major battles, our 100,000 defenders have lost 40% to 50%. Although Li Chuang's rebel thieves are not much better, his most relied on cavalry team has not hurt the roots. Now half of the Han capital has fallen into the enemy's hands. I beg the emperor to go south to Changsha as soon as possible to avoid the edge."

The person who spoke was Liao Wenkai, the Minister of War. He was Zuo Liangyu's right-hand man. Therefore, even if Zuo Liangyu didn't say a word, he still kept silent, others knew that moving south was actually his proposal.

As soon as he finished speaking, the commander of the Duke Zou Liren brushed his sleeves out and shouted angrily, "It's so outrageous that Li Zicheng's army surrounded Hanjing for three days. The Suizhou garrison actually stopped moving and refused to come to support. Now he still has the face to let Long Live go south. Your Ministry of War is going to rebel and force the palace to force the palace."

Although Zuo Liangyu has lost his absolute right to command the army, he is still firmly controlled by the 200,000 troops in Suizhou and Changsha towns, which is also the reason why Zuo Liangyu is still firmly in the position of Shangshu.

His plan was very clever. As long as Chongzhen and all officials were forced to Changsha, he could use the emperor to command the princes. Therefore, even if Li Zicheng had already reached the doorstep, he still refused to call on the army in Suizhou and Changsha to serve the king.

This plan made him fatten him, but he himself misled everyone, because Li Zicheng came too hastily, so that all officials did not have time to transfer their wealth and wealth. It was reasonable that the Censor Zou Liren fought with him.

Zuo Menggeng saw the civil servants struggling to his father one after another, so he was so angry that his blue veins stormed and shouted loudly, "Suizhou is the gate of the northern Hanjing. What should I do if the army starts and the Qiang people take advantage of the situation? The roads in Suizhou are bumpy, and the carriages are not enough. It will take about seven days for the army to come. The Censor cannot open his eyes and tell lies."

He didn't say it was okay, but as soon as he jumped out, the ministers became even more angry and generous.

"It's simply a bit of nonsense. Don't you know that if the skin is not covered with hair, then what's the use of protecting Suizhou? Is this a reason why you refuse to send troops?"

"Suizhou is only more than 500 miles away from Hanjing. It can be reached in three days of marching. Who do you want to deceive, Huangkou kid?"

"Since the war in Hanjing started, your Zuo family father and son have not left the door without leaving the door. You cannot relieve your worries and cannot save the common people. How can such a slanderous minister be able to take on the important task of the Minister of War?"

"I beg my emperor to dismiss the post of Zuo Liangyu to comfort the hearts of all military and civilian officials."

Looking at the officials who wanted to tear themselves into pieces, Zuo Liangyu smiled instead. After a moment, he directly turned his head:

"Due to the misjudgment of the empress, our army has been defeated step by step and is in danger. I also asked the emperor to remove his ministers from his post to calm the people of the world."

As soon as this statement was spoken, everyone was stunned on the spot. Obviously, they didn't expect Zuo Liangyu to respond so positively to the dismissal, but the disaster was finally worthy of the crime, and the ministers couldn't help but exclaimed.

But there was one person except that was Guo Dashu who had been frowning. Zuo Liang and Yugang took the black veil and stood up.

"Emperor, the thieves have now knocked on the imperial city. At this time of danger, the removal of the highest official of the Ministry of War is afraid of affecting the morale of the front. I would like to remember that Zuo Shangshu has made many great contributions and will coordinate the army to retreat to the rebels."

Although the number of people on both sides of the enemy and us is balanced, the pampered Beijing Army is not the opponent of the peasant army that has been through the battlefield. Anyone with discerning eyes knows that Han Jing cannot be protected. For the sake of the current plan, the only way to abandon the city and flee to make a comeback. At this last moment, if Zuo Liangyu resigns from the position of Minister of War, the broken capital will be all taken to Guo Shixun.

Although Guo Shixun long wished that Zuo Liangyu would be demoted, if he took the blame for this guy, it would have a major blow to his reputation and even affect his monopoly after moving the capital.

Just as the ministers were arguing, the commander of the imperial guard Feng Dai suddenly rushed into the hall covered in blood.

"Emperor, the big thing is wrong. The rebel general Qian Feng led his troops to open Jing'anmen. Li Chuang's army of 20,000 troops entered the imperial city. More than half of the five thousand imperial guards were killed or injured. The bandit army was about to enter the palace soon. Please follow the last general and break through."

"Where did Li Chengdong's army go?"

"General Li was dragged on Yong'an Street by the thieves, and he could not be expected to come and rescue him."

Everyone, including Zuo Liangyu and Guo Shixun, was shocked by this bolt from the blue. Although they knew that the imperial city would fall sooner or later, they did not expect that it would fall so quickly, and now there was no chance to abandon the city and escape.

Compared to the panicked and frightened officials, Chongzhen seemed much calmer. After all, this was the second time he was facing such a situation, and he was very experienced and unstoppable.

"What about the concubines and the prince in the harem?"

"Don't worry, the emperor, they are already waiting for the priest behind Chengtian Gate."

"Okay" Chongzhen suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, his white hair and his eyes were covered with vicissitudes of wrinkles. The expression on his face could not tell whether it was sad or happy. "If you don't want to surrender to the thief, just fight out with me."

At this time, most of the Hanjing had fallen into Li Zicheng's hands, and the city was filled with wolf smoke and corpses, and even the solemn imperial city was filled with swords and shadows.

Guo Shixun was protected by iron-blooded guards, and Zuo Liangyu was also protected by his confidants. As soon as the two left the palace, they left the emperor and fled with their families.

Chongzhen and all the officials and concubines quickly changed into casual clothes and fled in panic under the protection of Feng Dai and hundreds of guards.

However, they had just escaped from the imperial city, but were surrounded by thousands of enemy troops. Their thick eyebrows, big eyes, majestic figures, and extraordinary domineeringness. Their bright and wide eyes are even more memorable.

Seeing this person, Chongzhen's eyes turned red in an instant, and his hair stood up, his teeth clattered, and even his breathing became more and more rapid.

Zhu Youjian will never forget this person's appearance.

"Li Zicheng, it's you"

The two enemies Zhu Youjian and Li Zicheng finally met. What will they talk about? What will the ending of Chongzhen? Let’s read the later narration
