......
Li Zicheng had been a little annoyed recently.
Because he realized that his opponent had changed!
It was not his opponents on the battlefield, but the Great Ming trash Emperor in the capital.
Even though he, Li Zicheng, was illiterate, he could not read a single word.
However, he had many military strategists under him. Coupled with his rapid growth in strength like a snowball, he had long regarded his status as equal to Chongzhen!
He and Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon throne, were only one name apart.
In the past.
Li Zicheng could clearly feel that this opponent of his not only did not clean up his mess, but he was also hesitant when doing things. From time to time, he liked to use a little unconventional sword.
Simply put, it was: Easy to deal with!
He would be defeated.
He only needed to run around or hide in the mountains.
Soon, he would be able to make a comeback!
But recently, Li Zicheng realized that something was wrong!
He realized that his opponent had not only turned into a coward.
He even moved his head away from the capital to Ying Tian.
Wasn't this a joke?
If Chongzhen didn't send out the army, he wouldn't be able to fight his way in. Now that he had moved the capital away, he had lost his direction of attack!
This time.
How were they going to fight?
"Roaming King, bad news!"
Liu Zongmin ran into the tent in panic."A lot of our soldiers have run away recently. I counted them this morning and found that there were 3,000 fewer soldiers!”
Ever since they arrived outside Tongguan.
It had already been five months!
After five months of attack, Tong Pass did not budge at all!
In fact, they had also thought of bypassing Tongguan.
However, they needed to cross hundreds of miles of mountain roads to go around Tongguan.
With such a terrifying march, the army would probably fall apart halfway through, so they naturally could not take a detour.
As for the effect of continuing to attack.
Naturally, just like Liu Zongmin said, there were countless deserters!
"Damn Chongzhen brat, damn Sun Chuanting!”
"These two cowardly rats are infuriating me!”
Li Zicheng slammed the table angrily and gritted his teeth.
How could he not know about the current military situation?
He also wanted to end this quickly!
But the problem now was…
Da Ming didn't seem to want to fight with him.
Even when he took the initiative to reveal a flaw, the Ming army was like a turtle in the water, motionless!
The North suffered from disasters year after year.
Even though his current army had swept through three provinces, food was still a huge problem!
As for the Ming army?
Chongzhen had already moved south to Yingtian and could transport food from the south to the front line.
Their foundations were not on the same level at all!
At this moment, in Yingtian Prefecture.
The imperial palace built during the Hongwu period could also be used now.
Chongzhen was practically carrying his bag and moving in directly.
He had been in Ying Tian for two to three months now, and the development of the situation was better than he had imagined.
"Looks like it won't be long before this Li Zicheng can't stir up any more waves.”
He looked at the military report that Sun Chuanting had given him.
Chong Zhen also chuckled.
Ever since he used the ancestor's method, Da Ming was really getting better day by day.
Especially this time.
Not only had he accomplished the task of reorganizing the Three Thousand Battalion, but he had also taken advantage of the time when the civil officials had yet to arrive to use the Brocade Guard and the East Chamber to set up a large iron cage around Ying Tian.
He felt that in his sixteen years as Emperor, he had never felt so good in the past few months.
"The next one to deal with is Huang Taiji.”
Chong Zhen looked at another enemy.
The situation was indeed as his great-grandfather had said.
At the end of the 15th year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji had indeed broken through and plundered wantonly.
Her heart ached when she saw it.
Now that he was in Ying Tian, even though he no longer had Huang Taiji as a direct threat, he was still constantly thinking about this enemy.
"With food, the army is slowly reforming.”
"We also collected a lot of silver from those merchants.”
"But how to deal with this Huang Taiji, we still have to discuss with the three ancestors.”
Chong Zhen thought to himself.
Huang Taiji was much stronger than Li Zicheng.
Now that he was able to face Li Zicheng, he could naturally pay attention to Huang Taiji.
It was still the same sentence.
He wanted to fight like a turtle like the great ancestor.
If he could avoid taking risks, he would.
He tried his best to wait until the Emperor's chat group to ask questions.
.........
"How's the new policy trial going?"
In the Qingjing Palace, Jiajing asked while meditating.
In front of him.
Naturally, they were the new cabinet members.
Zhang Zhi, Li Ben, Xu Jie, Yuan Wei.
The original Yan Song and his gang were naturally swept into the trash by Jiajing.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the implementation of the new policy is very smooth and has already achieved great success in Zhejiang and Hu provinces.”
Zhang Zhi said respectfully.
However, Jiajing's expression did not change.
"Ask them to bring the account book over in a few days. Don't just say that it was a success.”
"I want to see those numbers before I can have an idea!”
"Yes, sir!"
Zhang Zhi nodded.
Speaking of which, he also felt that something was amiss recently.
For some reason, Emperor Jiajing's temperament suddenly changed and he kicked out Grand Secretary Yan, who had been in power for twenty years.
Then, he quickly changed the cabinet.
Although he still liked to cultivate, he was far from being as crazy as before.
He even began to manage the government frequently.
For a moment, it actually gave them a feeling of the new Jiajing administration.
After reporting a few more things about her birth.
The four cabinet members also retreated.
Jiajing meditated for a long time.
Only then did he stop to stretch his muscles and bones.
"Although the new policy can restore the people as much as possible, it won't be so easy to regain the military and political power in our hands.”
Jiajing sighed softly.
Ever since he came out of the Emperor's chat group.
He had always been thinking about how to improve the country's strength.
Previously, Zhu Houzhao had guessed that Dynasty's national strength was based on the amount of resources the emperor had.
Jiajing had naturally guessed this.
That was why he was so proactive.
The fastest way to increase the strength of the country was to regain control of power.
However, military and political power was not so easy to obtain.
"No matter what, I have to give it a try.”
A trace of adventurous spirit gradually appeared in Jiajing's heart.
Twenty years ago,
He saw the mountain retreat.
But now…
In order to pursue the Dao Fruit, he decided to go all out!
"I may need some external help."
Jiajing looked outside the palace gate.
His eyes flickered.
No one knew what he was thinking.
In the world, those who could fight for power.
Eunuch Party.
Civil officials.
Concubine.
In addition to these,
and
A vassal king?
Jiajing's eyes lit up.
For now.
He could only stand after breaking!
