Chapter 29

"What's the matter with us? How long can my subordinates outside last? You can solve them in just a few seconds."

After seeing the Armstrong field cannon, all Li Zicheng's energy and spirit were wiped out.

I was arrogant yesterday, even half an hour ago, but now I am like a defeated rooster, and I can't see any hope.

When Cao Renli ridiculed him before, Li Zicheng was still unconvinced, but now he finally understood.

What Cao Renli said is true. The person who is really arrogant is not the dog eunuch he looks down on, but the famous king of corruption.

When Zhu Cilang saw Li Zicheng's situation, he knew in his heart that he was hit hard.

It's no wonder that this cannon will be released two hundred years later and was pulled out two hundred years in advance. This reaction is normal.

If Zhu Cilang was not familiar with history, he would really have settled in the capital.

But he knew very well what was going on next. Even if he could settle Li Zicheng's army, he would not be able to settle Wu Sangui.

Even if Wu Sangui can be settled, he will not be able to settle the Eight Banners Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty in the north.

Even if Zhu Cixuan now has a system that goes against the will of heaven, even if we can form various new troops, it is impossible for us to face such a powerful enemy from the beginning.

If you fail, you will lose your life.

We can try other things, can we try this life?

"Don't look so discouraged. Winning and defeat are common in military affairs. I can give the capital to you."

"It's common to be bullshit. It's not you who fails. Do you like to give in or not...what did you say??"

At the beginning, Li Zicheng didn't take it seriously and even followed Zhu Cixuan's words.

Who knew that when I heard the last sentence, I stood up excitedly, scaring the guards around me.

If Zhu Cixuan hadn waved his hand quickly, they would have shot. Judging from Li Zicheng's attitude just now, this would be detrimental to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

It is normal for Li Zicheng to have such a reaction.

If it weren't for his disaster, why did the Ming Dynasty be like this? The person in front of him was the prince of the Ming Dynasty. He should fight with him. How could he give up the capital to himself?

"What are you excited about? I didn't give it to you without saying it. I can take my people back to the south, but you have to pay a certain price. You have to announce to the whole world that you can allow me to leave the capital safely, and at the same time, you have to raise 40 million taels of silver for me, which is the money to redeem you."

Li Zicheng knew that it was not that good, but where did he get 40 million taels of silver?

From the time of the reign of the army to now, even if all the money is added up, I am afraid there will be no 40 million taels of silver.

"So you're serious?"

Li Zicheng said with some doubts.

"Is there any benefit to lie to me?"

Li Zicheng thought about it and so did it.

"You can agree with the ones you said, but where can I get you 40 million taels of silver?"

Li Zicheng looked bitter.

Zhu Cilang didn't say anything, but looked into the distance, and Li Zicheng also looked over. The distance was a prosperous capital. Although it had passed the late Ming Dynasty, this capital was still very good.

"you mean?"

Li Zicheng finally understood that this is to let us use our previous strengths and rob the soldiers.

"Stop, what do I mean? I just ask you for money, how can you get it? That's your own business, and forty million taels of silver is not much. Think about it, this is buying your life. If your life is gone, what's the use of these silver? This world is useless to you."

Zhu Cilang is also very capable of fooling people, and soon Li Zicheng felt that the price was not expensive.

In Li Zicheng's heart, he actually thought that Zhu Ciyang was right. Why do you care about so much? His own life is the most important thing. If he has no life, what else can he think about others?

In the original history, Li Zicheng has not started robbing now, and it will take at least a while to start.

But Zhu Cixuan could not wait, and after the robbery, Li Zicheng also ruined the money, so it would be better to let him take it with him.

I took this money south, plus what I exchanged, and I could hold on for a while. No matter what the north is, I could be invincible.

In some original unofficial histories, Li Zicheng plundered 70 million taels of silver. His time was urgent, and as long as he had 40 million taels of silver, it was already quite affordable.

Besides, these people betrayed the Ming Dynasty and surrendered one by one. Do you really think this matter has just passed?

Thinking of the surrendered court officials, Zhu Cilang sneered, but Li Zicheng next to him shuddered, for fear that Zhu Cilang would plot against him.

"You want to take revenge on them, but you also want to maintain your image as a wise ruler and splash all the dirty water on our Lao Li's head."

Li Zicheng finally figured it out.

"So do you do it?"

Zhu Cilang didn't look back. We are just a conspiracy. For your own life, you will get on the bus no matter what.

"You're ruthless."

Li Zicheng's three words also show that he will do this.

Li Zicheng also thought about it. It would be fair to buy his life for 40 million taels of silver, but the problem is that after plundering, even if he occupied the capital, it would be an empty city.

Moreover, during the process of plundering money, all the surrendered ministers and generals of the Ming Dynasty were offended, and this was another famine in the future.

In Li Zicheng's eyes, Zhu Cilang is really terrible.

If everyone is plotted into it, except for his own benefits, the rest of the people will also get rid of a layer of skin even if they don’t die. At least Li Zicheng is more uncomfortable than losing the skin now.

"Don't feel that you are at a disadvantage. If I don't negotiate with you and I will cut your head with one knife, then what else do you have? After negotiation with me, I will take my own people across the river and go south. In the future, we will cut the river and govern each other without disturbing each other. If you can't swallow this, you can also bring people to attack, but at least you have to survive first."

In Li Zicheng's mind, he had never understood why Zhu Cilang did this, because Zhu Cilang had already gained an absolute advantage and there was no need to negotiate with him.

How could he think that there are so many enemies in the north? Zhu Cilang is a typical example of selling you and asking you to count the money.
