Chapter 121 First day of the first lunar month

Beijing City is under martial law on New Year's Eve. The last fig leaf of the Ming Empire was torn off by Huang Taiji, thrown on the ground and stepped on it with his feet. Then he left with a swagger.

This is the reality that Zhu Youjian faced in the palace!

Man Gui died in battle, and the troops serving kings from all over the country stayed dozens of miles away and did not dare to approach. This reality was even more cruel.

At this moment, Zhu Youjian was trapped in deep darkness and could not see a trace of light.

Looking at the memorial on the case blankly, no one talked about repelling the enemy at this time, they were talking about one thing, responsibility!

The Later Jin army was still rampant in Northern Zhili, stolen everything they liked, including gold, silver, cloth, pig iron (Zunhua is a famous iron factory), population, and food, as long as they can be taken away.

What’s hateful is that no one dared to stop them from doing this. No army dared to fight against the Later Jin field.

At this time, the ministers of the empire were talking about responsibility. How ridiculous, ridiculous and shameless it was.

Just when Zhu Youjian's anger reached a critical point, calmness slowly came. The calmer he was, the more he realized how helpless he was. He was the emperor and was rich in the world, but was stepped on his face by someone. Zhu Youjian also needed a channel to vent his anger, the people in the capital also needed a target to vent, and civil and military officials also needed a scapegoat.

In fact, at this time, even if Zhu Youjian knew that there was a person who was actually innocent and knew that this person was the most suitable candidate for Ji Liao Supervisor he could find, he had to push this person to the court.

Wang Chengen arrived in a hurry, but there was no footsteps. Zhu Youjian looked up and saw him happily, and still whispered in a low mood: "Big partner, is there any news?"

"Long lively, the Ministry of War sent personnel to verify the battle results under the city of Tongzhou. The heads were all real. There were more than 400 real Tartars. The heads were not killing Liang and taking credit. The governor of Baoding explained the scriptures and the censor Fang Daren jointly reported that Qin Liangyu, the envoy of Shizhu Xuanfu, brought Chen Xie, the ambassador of Dengzhou, and the two departments had a total of more than 6,000 troops to the capital to serve the king. The memorial also said that the key places in Tongzhou must be kept, so the two of them led their troops to the capital. The slave asked the following, and it was indeed Qin Liangyu, the envoy of Shizhu Xuanfu, led his troops to camp about five miles outside Guangqu Gate, and Qin Liangyu also went to the city gate to report."

Upon hearing this news, Zhu Youjian's face unexpectedly showed a trace of red light, and he stood up with a hunched back and said, "Big partner, this Dengzhou regiment training camp is the pioneer of Dengzhou camp. How could he dare to line up in the wild to threaten the flanks of the Later Jin siege?"

Wang Chengen hesitated for a moment, and he knew what Chongzhen wanted to hear, and said, "Long live, you don't have to be ignorant of military affairs and dare not speak nonsense. However, this ambassador of the regiment training must be a loyal minister who is not afraid of death. Think about it, even though he knew that the Later Jin was attacking Tongzhou, he bumped into it. Now he followed Qin Liangyu into the capital again. Who dared to do so many troops that served the king...?"

Speaking of this, Wang Chengen stopped, but Chongzhen heard what he meant, smiled and shook his head, "Don't hide it. I can see all these things. The wind knows the strong grass, and the storm shows the loyal and kindness. Others hide from each other. The two armies combined are less than 10,000, but they plunged in."

Wang Chengen said: "Long lively, Qin Liangyu's Shizhu soldiers, totaling more than 13,000 people. The Ministry of War ordered the Ministry of War to go north to guard the border and arrive in Xinyang. When he heard that the capital had changed, he personally led 3,000 powerful soldiers and rushed to Baoding. The Ministry of War, also known as her, rushed to Tongzhou, and rushed to the training camp of the Dengzhou regiment to serve the king. Then he gathered together. It is estimated that in a few days, the main force of the Shizhu soldiers will also be able to arrive in the capital."

"Big partner, I will summon Qin Liangyu on the platform tomorrow and make arrangements."

After saying this, Zhu Youjian continued to review the memorials. In fact, there was no good news. What he was most concerned about was Sun Chengzong, but now there was no news. A mere Shizhu Bing and Dengzhou regiment training camp was just a drop in the bucket for the entire battle situation. Even if they could fight, they would dare to fight, less than 20,000 people. Liu Zhilun’s lessons are not far away!

Chen Xie's class was still too low. Even if he was a loyal minister, the emperor would not have any reason to meet him. No matter what, this name was the first time that it was heard by Chongzhen.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was another sunny day. Chen Xie rarely slept until the sun came out before getting up. If there were cheers in the camp, Chen Xie would not be awakened, and he probably still had to sleep. Leaving the warm bed, a little movement alarmed the red fruit waiting beside him.

"The master is up?" Hongguo greeted him and went out very consciously. Chen Xie put on his clothes in a few seconds and went to the temporary toilet. When he came back, he had already called hot water.

"What's the situation?" Chen Xie asked, and Hongguo smiled and said, "It's nothing, Wang Qinian's New Year activities. Didn't you tell me about this?" Chen Xie thought for a while: "It seems that he forgot after drinking."

After leaving the circle surrounded by the carriage, Cui Xin followed behind him, Chen Xie was still very satisfied with this kid. Unlike Mengzi, he didn't know where to go. The cotton coat seemed to be over, and he could mop the floor like before. This should be the hands of a group of women. Those women who were rescued did not have much hatred for this bald boy. Chen Xie was surprised and too lazy to agree to the reason.

Cui Xin had an extra knife around his waist, and I don’t know who gave him the shoes. The shoes were also replaced with Dengzhou version of military boots. Those who have watched the anti-Japanese drama must have seen them. The big-headed leather shoes worn by the Japanese were clattering when walking, and they were very imposing.

Wang Qinian organized a good organization. In the camp, there were groups of people forming circles, some tug of war, some wrestling, and some running competitions with a comrade in the back. In total, there were more than a dozen events, and the fun was very lively. Chen Xie walked around and came back very satisfied.

It happened that Wang Qinian was waiting outside. When he saw Chen Xie, he stepped forward and said, "Sir, are you satisfied with the event organization?"

This guy came to take credit, Chen Xie smiled and said, "I did a good job, haven't you relaxed in your warning?"

Wang Qinian stood up and said, "I dare not relax at all, the scout has been sent out."

Back in the tent, Chen Xie's mood did not change better, but felt a little depressed. In general, there was too few people, and these two thousand people were not sure where to fight. Sitting on the camp bed, Chen Xie was dazed and vibrated his wrist a few times, looking down at a line of words: "What are you looking for me?"

Seeing that there was no one outside, Chen Xie lay on the bed and whispered: "Find some historical information, the battlefield in the Northern Zhili in the first month of the third year of Chongzhen."

After a while, there was a continuous vibration on his wrist. Chen Xie quickly read it. There was not much information, only a few dozen words in total. The general meaning was that, not long ago, Qian Longxi, who had a good relationship with Yuan Chonghuan, was dismissed. Zhou Yanru, He Rufeng, and Qian Xiangkun entered the cabinet. After Man Gui got dead, Ma Shilong led the troops to serve the kings in various places, and Liu Zhilun died in Zunhua. On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Yongping was captured by the Later Jin Dynasty, and then Luanzhou was captured. Governor Ji Liao's Censor Liu Ce was sentenced to death and was sentenced to death soon. Han Kuang of the cabinet resigned, etc.

In short, there has been no good news recently, and Chen Xie felt very depressed after reading it. According to historical records, there has been no good things in the past two months. He took Yuan Chonghuan and dealt with Qian Longxi from the Donglin Party, and two major scapegoats were found. The entire Beizhili was destroyed, and he was still interested in fighting for power and profit. He really impressed these civil officials. Chongzhen, forget it, let alone this monarch with a low attitude. Thinking about his ending, he was sad. The most diligent emperor since the Ming Dynasty, ended up hanging the coal mountain.

Finally, Qin Liangyu came back from the palace and entered Chen Xie's tent with a sad face.

"Sihua, let me discuss with you, how to fight next?" Qin Liangyu looked anxious. It seemed that he was fooled by Chongzhen's little favor when he met him. At this time, Chongzhen really couldn't give anything too real. Chen Xie knew this very well, but he couldn't resist Qin Liangyu's loyalty and determined to fight for the Ming Dynasty to the end.

"I still want to fight Zunhua!" Chen Xie's attitude was very firm and he was not shaken at all. Qin Liangyu stood in front of the map, and there was no intention of forcing him to occupy him. Fortunately, Chen Xie had a lot of inventory. After staring at the map for a long time, Qin Liangyu said: "After entering the city, Your Majesty summoned me on the platform and encouraged me to make contributions to the country. He also said that Ma Shilong led a large army in Jizhou and refused to save Liu Zhilun, which led to the loss of Zunhua. The generals in the world must be like this, how should the Ming Dynasty be stable?"

"The Later Jin army has only 100,000 people. In such a large Northern Zhili, if this little force is thrown out, it will be thrown into the sea with stones, and no waves will be brought. Ma Shilong set out from Shanhaiguan and led 15,000 troops. He can avoid the Later Jin army along the way. It can be seen that the situation on this battlefield is far less terrifying than we thought. Now Sanhe and Jizhou are all in the hands of our army. The main force of the Later Jin army has already rushed to Shanhaiguan. Why can't we concentrate our troops to attack Zunhua?" Chen Xie complained in discomfort. Qin Liangyu looked at Chen Xie in surprise and didn't speak for a while.

Chen Xie said in confusion: "Aunt Qin, why do you look at me like this?" Qin Liangyu smiled bitterly: "You really don't understand or pretend not to understand? Zunhua is a strong city. Even if the main force of our army arrives, there are more than 10,000 people in total, it is impossible to fight in a few days. In these few days, it is enough for Huang Taiji to swing his troops on his back and make us dumplings. Otherwise, why is Ma Shilong so old that he is in the army and huddled in Jizhou? Isn't it because the Later Jin army has many cavalry and the marching speed is fast? Your regiment training, my white-rod soldiers, are all infantry soldiers. What do we compare the marching speed with people?"

Chen Xie disagreed and said, "Isn't it just a field battle? Just fight. If you don't fight, I won't fight, who will fight? Just let the iron hooves of the Later Jin dynasty rage on my Central Plains? I don't care what others think. In short, I will set out tomorrow and head north to Zunhua. I don't believe it. As long as everyone dares to fight to the death, the Ming Dynasty's millions of troops, ten can consume the little force of Jiannu." rs
