On the 16th day of the 3rd month of the 17th year of Chongzhen, just as night fell, the campfire outside the capital city flickered like stars.
They were Li Zicheng's Great Shun Army. Tomorrow, they would swagger into Beijing.
At this moment, in the back hall of the Profound Language Pavilion in the Imperial Palace, a middle-aged man was wearing a black gauze fan crown.
Dressed in a nine-dragon leather robe with a jade belt around his waist, he leisurely sat up from the dragon throne.
He was originally a 21st century historical researcher. When he flipped through the Ming history materials, his head was dizzy.
He fell asleep on the table in the library.
But now, he was slowly waking up on the dragon desk in the back hall of the Profound Language Pavilion.
Countless memory fragments flooded his mind like a tidal wave.
When the flood of memories stopped, Zhu Youjian rubbed his temples and tried his best to clear his mind.
"I actually transmigrated into Chongzhen's body!”
Connecting his memories, Zhu Youjian came up with the above facts.
"Long live, you're awake?"
An old man in a red robe with a python's tail in his arms walked out from behind the curtain.
The memory of the original owner of the body told him that this person was Wang Chengen, the most reliable and only reliable eunuch beside the Emperor.
"Wang Daban, today is the 16th of March, right?”
"Your Majesty, today is the 16th of March!”
According to the normal development of history, tonight, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian would kill his empress and daughter.
Then on the morning of the 27th, he went to the coal mountain and hanged himself.
"Your Majesty, Li Zicheng has already surrounded the capital.”
Zhu Youjian raised his hand and interrupted Wang Chengen's words.
"I know. There are 200,000 intruders outside the city. Don't say anything and let me be quiet.”
Wang Chengen's expression was anxious, but Zhu Youjian's face was as dark as water. He did not comment.
At this moment, Zhu Youjian was brainstorming, trying hard to think of a way to break through.
200,000 intruders were stationed outside the capital, and they were arrogant. The officials in the city were already prepared to surrender. The situation was extremely dangerous.
However, from another point of view, Li Zicheng's army was not on guard. They were either asleep or drunk.
They were just waiting for tomorrow morning to swagger into the city to receive the defense.
If there were a few hundred cavalrymen who launched a night attack tonight.
There was a possibility of Zhang Wenyuan fighting Xiaoyao Jin and trampling on the joint venture!
Zhu Youjian opened his eyes. He had already found a solution to the problem.
He had a plan, but how was he going to execute it? In other words, where could he find a few hundred fully armed cavalry with high morale?
And where was the brave general leading the troops?
Just as he was pondering, a voice suddenly sounded in Zhu Youjian's mind.
Ding!
Host discovered, scan binding, binding successful!
Welcome to the system!
After the voice, there was a flash of light, and a screen seemed to appear in front of Zhu Youjian.
On the screen were the names of the civil officials and generals of each dynasty. Behind each name was a number-the amount of offerings.
"What is the amount of offerings?"
[System Notification: Offered amount refers to the amount of silver needed to invite the civil and military officials.]
"First-class general, Chang Yuchun, 3 million taels.”
"Second-rate general, Cheng Yaojin, offering 2 million taels."
"Third-rate general, Liao Hua, offering 1 million taels.”
There were quite a number of offerings from these generals.
He saw that Li Jing, who he was most fascinated by, actually wanted 80 million taels of silver!
"System, why is this Li Jing so expensive?”
[System Notification: Because Li Jing is not only skilled in martial arts, but also has a strong commanding ability. He has the reputation of the God of War, so the amount of offerings is high.]
"Then I'll buy a fierce general with pure martial arts and summon Li.
"Then I'll buy a fierce general with pure strength and summon Li Yuanba.
Two 400-jin drum-beating golden hammers, thousands of miles of smoke under them.
Not to mention Li Zicheng, even destroying Huang Taiji and trampling Hou Jin would be a matter of minutes.”
< System Notification: The host can summon Li Yuanba. The reward is 100 million taels of silver. Do you want to reward him?>
"Let's talk about it later."
Zhu Youjian knew that there was not even one tael of silver left in the national treasury.
After understanding the system's rules, Zhu Youjian browsed through it for a while.
He also discovered that this system not only allowed him to buy civil officials and generals, but he could also buy weapons and precious horses.
"Wang Chengen, how much money do we have now?”
Wang Chengen suddenly heard Zhu Youjian calling him and quickly replied,""Your Majesty, previously, in order to collect the army's pay,
He had already given all the silver to Cao Huachun. Now, there was no more money in the palace.”
"It's okay. Go and tell the Empress to bring the jewelry, the golden plate, the golden bowl, and so on.
Yes, and the golden crown. Bring all the valuable things here. Hurry!”
Wang Chengen called two eunuchs and went out.
Zhu Youjian sat alone in his room and began to think about how to make good use of this system.
Ding!
[System Notification: Host, please receive the Newcomer Award. You will be randomly selected to be a personal civil servant or general.]
Host, please confirm whether you are a civil official or a military general.
Zhu Youjian was overjoyed when he heard that there was a newcomer award in the system.
According to the previous plan, Zhu Youjian chose a general. It would be best if they were generals who were good at commanding cavalry.
Zhu Youjian knew the reason very well. The capital was surrounded by 200,000 people. There was no backup outside, but there was rebellion inside.
If they had generals who were good at defending the city, such as Hao Zhao or Tian Dan, blindly defending to the death, the final result would be death.
He had to be good at breaking through, and the person leading the troops had to be a fierce general with superb martial strength.
Chong Zhen sat on the dragon throne with his eyes closed. He tried his best to calm his heart, but it was still beating wildly.
"Good! Let's start the lottery. I choose the general.”
Host will be provided with one super first-class general, two first-class generals, three second-class generals, and six third-class generals. Do you wish to start the lottery?
"Begin! Start immediately!"
Ding!
The lucky draw has ended. The host has randomly obtained a first-class general.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Great General of the Three Kingdoms Era, Guan Yu. His current name is Guan Shou and he is currently standing outside the door. The host can summon him at any time.
"A first-rate general! That's great!"
After the joy, Chong Zhen was a little puzzled. If Guan Yu was a first-rate general, then how powerful would a super first-rate general be?
Just as he was thinking, a beautiful woman walked in with a small bag.
"Your Majesty, ChenQie has brought all the gold and silver in her hands.”
This beautiful woman was Empress Zhou. At this moment, she did not look like an empress at all.
There were no ornaments on her head, and there were tears at the corners of her eyes. She must have been crying all day.
Zhu Youjian quickly comforted her,"Haha, my beloved concubine, why are you doing this?"
I'll borrow this gold and silver first. When Li Zicheng returns, I'll give you a new set!”
