Zhao Peng and Gao Wencai walked into the hall. They did not bow to Li Zicheng, but just stood there and bowed.

"Bold madman! I won't kneel down when I see Your Majesty!" A eunuch standing beside Li Zicheng shouted in a sharp voice.

"Eunuch Wang, you are so majestic! If I remember correctly, it is you who opened Xuanwu Gate to welcome the trespass, which caused my brothers to be unable to defend the palace city, right?" Gao Wencai said to the eunuch with a sneer.

The eunuch was named Wang Xiangyao. At that time, Gao Wencai, Zhao Peng and others were defending Xuanwu Gate. It was this guy who opened the city gate to welcome the army, causing the imperial city to fall. It can also be said that this guy broke Chongzhen's last hope and crushed Chongzhen's last straw. Chongzhen then went to Coal Mountain to find the crooked tree. Although Chongzhen had forced Empress Zhou to death, killed Princess Zhaoren, and injured Princess Kunxing, Chongzhen and Wang Chengen wanted to resist in the end, although the hope was very slim.

Wang Xiangyao's old face turned red and he argued awkwardly: "If our family does not open the city gate, the first emperor will wait for reinforcements? Without silver, the Guanning army will definitely not come. The outside of the capital, all the guards in the outer city of the capital have surrendered. Why do we still have to make unnecessary resistance? Instead of adding futile casualties, it is better to follow the destiny of heaven to be the best strategy!"

"According to the destiny of heaven? Is it an excuse to be greedy for life and fear death?" Zhao Peng sneered.

Wang Xiangyao laughed: "You are afraid of death if you are greedy for life? If you were not greedy for life and fear of death, you would have sacrificed your life for your country as early as the day when the city was destroyed. Why did you come here to see Your Majesty again today?"

Zhao Peng said: "We brothers wanted to sacrifice our country to repay the emperor's kindness, but the whereabouts of the prince and the princes are unknown, so we wanted to save His Highness the prince with a useful body and protect His Highness the prince to go south. But who knew that Luo Yangxing had surrendered to the king. We were found out and had no way out, so we surrendered to the king, just asking the king to bury the late emperor and treat the prince well and all the princes."

Li Zicheng laughed: "The two heroes are loyal and loyal, and have a strong and loyalty. They are much stronger than the nobles in the court. I admire Gu very much! It's a pity that Chongzhen's tyrant monarch is unclear about the use of people. The two are still small Qianhu and the lieutenant. Since this is the case, it's better to follow the Gu King. Gu wants to revive the Jinyiwei, thinking that His Majesty the Grandmaster of the Grand Emperor will take revenge! The two follow Gu, one is named the commander-general of the Jinyiwei, and the other is named the commander-general of the Jinyiwei."

Li Zicheng left the position of commander of the Jinyiwei to Luo Yangxing. Although that guy was despised, he was the former commander of the Jinyiwei after all, and Li Zicheng dared not treat him too badly.

Who knew that Zhao Peng refused Li Zicheng's official position: "The king, I don't want to be the commander of the Jinyiwei, I just want to serve the crown prince! As long as the king treats the crown prince well, I am willing to do my best for the king!"

The reason why Zhao Peng rejected Li Zicheng's official position was that if he went to Nanjing in the future, he would still be carrying a posthumous identity as a traitor, and would be in the Southern Ming Dynasty in the future, this would be a deduction item.

Gao Wencai naturally rejected the official position of Dashun: "I only want to serve His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Zicheng was disgraced by the two of them, and his face looked a little bad.

Seeing that Li Zicheng's face turned gloomy, Zhao Peng hurriedly asked, "Master, do you know who Dashun's biggest enemy will be in the future?"

"Jiannu!" Li Zicheng blurted out.

"Yes, it's Jiannu!" Zhao Peng smiled, "The king is really wise! We were originally ministers of the Ming Dynasty, so we naturally had irreconcilable with Jiannu! The king fought against Jiannu, and the ministers were naturally willing to die loyally for the king! Although the Ming Dynasty was defeated by the king, it was only the Ming Dynasty. But if the king was defeated by the hands of Jiannu, it would be that my China had destroyed the world!"

Li Zicheng asked expressionlessly: "Do you think Gu is not a match for Jiannu?"

"King, the situation is complicated now. If the king ascended the throne and became the emperor, the world is not the king's family. Jiannu outside the pass is eyeing my China. Jiannu has long coveted the land of our Central Plains for a long time. Now that the capital is in trouble, the captive chief Dorgon will definitely not miss this great opportunity to invade the Central Plains! The south is still under the control of the Ming Dynasty, and now the ancestor of the emperor has collapsed. The gentry in the south will be afraid that there will be some bad idea to join forces to suppress the enemy. At that time, the king will face two sides of the Ming army and Jiannu! I wonder if the king can withstand the north and south attack?"

"I have hundreds of thousands of troops, but I can resist Jiannu from the north and the Ming Dynasty in the south." Li Zicheng said with a smile.

"As far as I know, the king can fight only 20,000 elite cavalry, 30,000 old camp cavalry, and hundreds of thousands of others are all mobs? However, Jiannu had 50,000 elite infantry and cavalry of the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia, and 30,000 elite firearms of Han flags, with 30,000 against 80,000. What is the chance of victory? Wu Sangui at Shanhaiguan has not yet determined. If Wu Sangui surrendered Jiannu, the situation of the king would be even worse." Zhao Peng analyzed.

Li Zicheng smiled and said, "Gu has already asked Wu Xiang to find Wu Xiang, and Wu Xiang is willing to send a letter of surrender to Wu Sangui. With Wu Xiang in Gu's hands, are you still afraid that Wu Sangui will surrender to Jiannu? As long as Shanhaiguan is in Wu Sangui's hands, let alone the 800,000 army of Jiannu, it is difficult to overcome the thunder pool."

"What if Wu Sangui refused to surrender to the king, but let Jiannu enter the pass?"

"He dares!" Li Zicheng sneered, "I heard that Wu Sangui was a filial son. He attacked tens of thousands of Jiannu with only twenty cavalry and rescued his father from the siege of Jiannu. Now that the Wu family is in the capital, how dare Wu Sangui take the name of being unfilial?"

"I hope the king can treat the whole family of the Wu family well!"

"This is natural. As long as Wu Sangui surrenders to my Dashun, Gu will naturally treat the whole family well. If Wu Sangui surrenders to Jiannu, then no wonder Gu is cruel and ruthless!"

"I heard that Wu Sangui had a beloved concubine named Chen Yuanyuan. I hope the king can control his soldiers and not covet Chen Yuanyuan. Wu Sangui loves this beautiful girl deeply. If Chen Yuanyuan is moved, I am afraid that Wu Sangui will really surrender to the Qing Dynasty in anger." Zhao Peng, a historical novices, always thought that Wu Sangui really let the Qing army enter the pass because of Chen Yuanyuan's anger.

Li Zicheng nodded: "I will send an order now, so that no one can touch the Wu family's family!"

Zhao Peng then said with satisfaction: "King, since ancient times, unify the world, all have to be the north first and then the south. If the king wants to unify the world, he will inevitably face the elite iron cavalry of Jiannu. I wonder what the king has to counter the Jiannu?"

Li Zicheng laughed: "You guy is a good plan! If you want to see Gu and Jiannu both suffer losses, can the Ming Dynasty in the south reap the benefits?"

"The king is so bad. The gentry in the south has been in the flower world of Jiangnan for a long time. He has been weakened in the prosperity. How can he be enterprising? If the king defeats Jiannu, the world will definitely belong to the king! Although the Jiannu Iron Cavalry is powerful, I think that the king should reject it with firearms and defeat Jiannu Iron Cavalry!" Zhao Peng replied.

"Firearm?" Li Zicheng shook his head, "If this firearm is useful, why did your Ming Dynasty defeat Jiannu repeatedly?"

Zhao Peng replied: "When you go back to the king, it is not that the firearms are useless, but the officials of the Ministry of Works of the Ming Dynasty only know how to greedy for ink and silver, but do not care about building firearms. The firearms they make are naturally crude, so how can they fight against Jiannu? An excellent bird gun can break Jiannu's heavy armor. If bombarded with a turtle dove gun, even if Jiannu's three layers of heavy armor are like paper! The power of the cannon is even greater. No matter how brave it is, it will be blown away with one shot, and it will be powder!"
