If Chongzhen could leave the capital and avoid being chased by the men sent by Li Zicheng, there might be hope for a comeback.
However, Chongzhen did not listen to the old eunuch's advice at all.
And he was unwilling to abandon all the women and daughters, because Chongzhen believed that if these people fell into the hands of Li Zicheng, they would definitely not end well.
Therefore, Chongzhen would rather die than bear such humiliation.
Now that the old lady has said all these words, she will keep silent and say no more, because the rest depends on how Zhu Yuanzhang decides.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Chongzhen fiercely and said to Chongzhen.
"Although we can't all blame it on you, you are so cowardly and it makes us very disappointed."
"Now, please immediately ask someone to count how many soldiers there are, how many are fighting capable, and how many manpower are still on the city wall."
"We also need to count how many people are on the enemy's side. What is the situation around the capital now? Tell us immediately after you get the news."
Chongzhen did not dare to neglect and hurriedly led the people down. Although he was still very scared, he thought that perhaps this was the last hope of the Ming Dynasty.
If Zhu Yuanzhang was also helpless, he would never be allowed to compile this information.
He no longer cares about the status of his women, because for him, as long as he can drive away the enemies outside, these women can naturally stay in the palace.
He can also comfort these people slowly, but if his country is taken away, even if he dies, he will take these women with him.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang learned about the difficult matter. After feeling there for a while, he also knew what he should do, so he asked Chen Yang beside him.
"Mr. Chen, now that things have come to this point, how do you think we should solve this game?"
"We don't want the Ming Dynasty to be like this, and you probably don't want to see the scenes you mentioned either."
Chen Yang rolled his eyes and couldn't help but curse in his heart.
He just knew how to play moral kidnapping with me, and he just knew how to kidnap me with the life, death and suffering of all the people.
I really don't want to see all the people suffer pain and death, but that doesn't mean I have to help you.
If it hadn't been for the system's task this time, even if I helped you, I would never let Chongzhen and this bunch of losers govern the country like this.
But now is not the time to be sulky. Even if he clearly knows that Zhu Yuanzhang is kidnapping him morally, he still has to reach out to help.
Chen Yang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then said seriously.
"Now that I want to break the situation, I have three countermeasures, the upper, middle and lower. The lowest one is to continue to encourage all the soldiers, and then mobilize all the people in the city to take up arms and fight together."
"As long as everyone is determined to die, they will be able to shock Li Zicheng's people. After all, his people are just a mob. His people are not much stronger than ordinary people."
Chen Yang's meaning is very simple. As long as everyone shares the same hatred and risks their lives, we can still drive these people away.
But there must be a leader. In addition to the people and soldiers led by the generals, Chongzhen also needs to be able to climb the city wall himself.
In this way, using Chongzhen to shock the enemy's soul and inspire the people on your own side can also achieve the effect.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Chen Yang said, he did not say a word.
Because Chen Yang just said that there are three ways to deal with the problem at hand, he was still waiting for Chen Yang's remaining two answers, and Chen Yang continued to express.
"We can also reward everyone heavily. After all, there must be brave men under the reward. After we can frighten Li Zicheng's people, we can negotiate with his people. At most, we can give them some compensation, and then show them how we are." Strength."
"As long as Li Zicheng is afraid, he can temporarily agree to negotiate with us. At most, it will only damage the face of the Ming Dynasty, and it can also buy the Ming Dynasty a period of time to survive. At this time, we can organize new troops, and maybe we can Be able to continue to compete with the opponent.”
"It's just that this way, Li Zicheng will have money, and he will have the strength to recruit troops. And when the people see us doing this, they will think that the Ming Dynasty's national destiny is running out."
Chen Yang was talking about solutions to the crisis, so as long as the immediate crisis was solved, he did not say what consequences the hidden dangers would have in the future, and he did not need to consider this issue.
So now he said the second method, and Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head directly.
Although he did not speak, it was obvious that Zhu Yuanzhang believed that this method was not advisable. He had been used to being tough all his life.
And all his life he would rather fight the enemy to death on horseback than compromise, so he was least willing to accept this method.
But he had to admit that the method Chen Yang mentioned was indeed possible to prevent the opponent from attacking the capital temporarily.
Because the other party also knows that with this money, they can recruit troops and horses, as long as they can attack with stronger force next time, so this method can only be regarded as temporarily bandaging the wound.
But in the future, the wound will continue to pus, and it will need to be treated at that time, so Zhu Yuanzhang still wants to hear what Chen Yang said about the best way.
Chen Yang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's anxious expression. He was no longer trying to show off. Chen Yang had an indifferent smile on his face, but along with this smile, there was still a strong murderous aura on his body.
Because the last method has something to do with the river of blood, Chen Yang said to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"The last method is to resist desperately. Of course, there is a skill in how to fight to the death. We can use cannon bombing."
"If the four city gates are full of cannons, even if we have a small manpower, we can kill a lot of the opponent's troops, but we will probably see a scene of rivers of blood."
"As long as the effect can be seen, the other party will definitely be frightened, but everyone will think that His Majesty does not have a merciful heart today. After all, it is indeed cruel to kill the enemy in this way."
"Of course, if we can defend the city, no matter how cruel it is, but once we cannot defend it, Li Zicheng's people will definitely retaliate against us with more brutal methods."
