Chapter 89 A large army gathers in the capital



Li Qin then wrote the relevant letter and sent it by fast horse to Li Wenqi in Shanhaiguan.

Tell him to arrange all of this as soon as possible.

After sending the letter, Li Qin casually picked up a report in front of him.

The images above actually show members of the royal family captured during this battle.

Looking at the list of concubines, princesses, and wives and concubines of royal family members, there was everything imaginable.

Even the empresses of Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu are on it.

Looking at the names of these people, Li Qin knew that these were all his spoils of war.

After scanning through their names, Li Qin also thought of Jiang Qingyue, the trophy he had left behind in Shanhaiguan.

I was quite satisfied with that trophy.

Li Qin then looked through the list again and found her daughter's name.

Looking at her daughter's name, Li Qin thought of Jiang Qingyue's gentleness.

After fighting for so long, why don't you relax a bit first?

Then Li Qin gave a subtle hint to his personal guard captain, Qi Duchen, who immediately understood what Li Qin meant.

He immediately said there was no problem.

This one is definitely easier to use.

After all, he couldn't say this outright.

Li Qin then glanced at the list of royal family members and their families in front of him.

He knew these things were his, but he had just captured the capital, and so many eyes were watching him.

I should restrain myself a bit.

I'll just have to put up with this for the next few days.

Wait until things calm down, then secretly take them one by one?

Let Qi Duchen bring Jiang Qingyue over from Shanhaiguan first.

Li Qin then looked at other military reports, and then he thought of Yang Shizhong, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.

Since he entered the city, he had not heard from him, so he immediately sent people to search for him in the city.

You have to understand, he's a veteran of four dynasties. If we could get our hands on him, the effect would be enormous.

After making the arrangements, he thought of the craftsmen he had specifically instructed, among whom the craftsmen in the capital who could make cannons were the ones Li Qin valued the most.

During this siege, Wu's artillery caused him a great deal of trouble.

If the enemy didn't have artillery, our own siege ladders and other large siege weapons could get close, and we wouldn't have to fight so hard.

He then immediately ordered that a craftsman capable of making cannons be found among the captured artisans.

After issuing the orders, Li Qin finished dealing with some military affairs and then rested.

At the same time, he also ordered his men to spread the news throughout the world that he had captured the capital, eliminated treacherous officials, and escorted His Majesty back to the Forbidden City.

He believed that once this news spread throughout the world, many of the reinforcements from the various governors who were still on their way to provide aid would immediately return to continue observing the situation.

After all, with the fall of the capital, the overall situation of the country had changed.

It would be best for these people to seize military power first and protect themselves.

The very next day after Li Qin woke up, he immediately received a messenger from his nephew, Li Xuanshang.

His army finally arrived.

Li Qin personally went to the camp to greet them, and then he saw more than 100,000 troops appear in the distance.

Upon seeing Li Qin, the generals, including Li Xuanshang, immediately spurred their horses forward, dismounted, and bowed.

"Uncle, your nephew has not failed in his mission."

"well."

Li Qin looked at Li Xuanshang in front of him, immediately stepped forward with a smile, and personally helped Li Xuanshang up.

Then, looking at the generals kneeling beside him, he said:

"You all get up too."

After the generals stood up, Li Qin immediately saw an unfamiliar general.

Then he looked at Li Xuanshang beside him and asked:

"He is."

Li Xuanshang, who was standing next to him, immediately said:

"Uncle, this is General Cui Yuanbin, who eliminated the treacherous Guo Zifeng and led 60,000 troops from Xuanfu to abandon the darkness and join us."

After hearing Li Xuanshang's introduction, Li Qin immediately put on a professional smile and said:

"This is General Cui Yuanbin."

Cui Yuanbin immediately knelt down before Li Qin and said:

"This humble general, Cui Yuanbin, pays his respects to the Duke. Our Xuanfu army is willing to serve the Duke with utmost loyalty."

"Good, good, good, General, please rise."

With a smile on his face, Li Qin helped Cui Yuanbin up and continued:

"Having a general is like adding wings to a tiger."

Let's go to the main camp first. Although we've taken the capital, we haven't cleared it out yet.

Your victory celebration banquet will have to be held in the military camp for now.

Later, I will report your merits to His Majesty and reward you handsomely.

"Thank you, Duke."

After paying their respects to Li Qin, the generals followed him into the camp.

After the banquet ended.

Li Qin was in the main camp, looking at the detailed information about the large army that Li Xuanshang had brought back.

With the fall of the capital, I need to rebuild the court, reorganize the capital, and manage the army.

At the same time, they took the opportunity to seize the undefended area north of the old course of the Yellow River.

Furthermore, the freed-up troops can also be used to wipe out Zhao Shuai Town and You Chu, those two guys who have been causing him trouble.

Oh, and what happened to those prisoners of war.

In short, I still have a lot of things to deal with.

His next task was to address the issue of the land north of the old course of the Yellow River.

After all, the place is completely empty now, and we can't miss this opportunity.

At the same time, now that I have captured the capital, I should immediately send a letter to Qin Chenyao in Shandong and Jiang Xiangyang in Datong.
