Chapter 1547 Soldiers approaching the city

"Your Majesty! You should summon the army to support the king quickly!" They had tried every means to block the army to support the king, but now the Tartars have broken through the pass, so they immediately changed their words.

"Oh? Didn't you say that the military disciplines of each border town are not rectified, and you may cause trouble when you enter the important areas of the capital rashly? Also, isn't the Ministry of Revenue lacks money? How can you solve the problem of food and salary in the army entering Beijing?" Chen Long said with a sneer. Since Huang Taiji had arrived here to gain reputation for himself, he was too lazy to continue to hide his strengths and retorted without hesitation.

If ordinary people heard Chen Long use what he said to criticize himself, they would have been ashamed to him. However, the face of my Ming official was not too thick. Someone immediately said, "It was one time and another. I was cautious when I opposed the army to serve the king. Now I am summoning the army to the capital for the sake of the country!"

Haha, if you really want to think about the country and the country, then you should resign and get out of office and get home early. Getting out of here is your greatest contribution to the Ming Dynasty!

"Absurd, as a minister of the court, how can you go back on your word?" Chen Long was too lazy to pay attention to him. Such shameless people just cut off the house after Huang Taiji left.

"I, how is the rectification of Jizhen?" No matter what he said, Chen Long did not intend to summon troops to serve the king. The four guards of Tengxiang alone were enough to defeat Huang Taiji's army. When they came, they would only make trouble and would also increase their strength for Gao Yingxiang, Wang Jiayin and others. Chen Long ignored the request to serve the king and turned to question Liang Tingdong, Minister of War.

He has now understood the rules of conduct of the Ming Dynasty. As the emperor, it may not be easy to do something, but if he doesn't want to do anything, he will definitely not be able to do it. Without his own will, the military town dares to send troops to the king. If he is transferred to the capital without authorization, it is a serious crime of treason and will lose his head!

"After receiving the order, the empress did not dare to slack off at all. He immediately selected the operators to go to Xifengkou, Zunhua, Jimen, Tongzhou, Sanhe and other places to rectify the city defense military discipline. He had a small success, but the time was urgent, and the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry were in short supply, and it was not possible to... all repairs were not completed." Liang Tingdong was in a cold sweat. If these places were broken, he would be finished. So at this time, he didn't care about offending his colleagues and quickly threw the blame a few times.

"What does Liang Shangshu mean? The Ministry of Revenue has no money and cannot be used up!"

"Yes, it's hard to supply Liaodong in the Ministry of Industry, and what's the extra money? If Secretary Liang is dissatisfied, I will never resign." The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry are willing to take the blame? Some people even realized the danger and planned to run away.

The two sides were furious in the court again, and the censor immediately came out to impeach them for the crime of losing their manners in the palace. Then the ministers stopped and quickly apologized to Chen Long.

Chen Long ignored them and turned his attention to British Duke Zhang Weixian, "If British Duke, if Jiannu enters the pass, can the Beijing camp be able to fight?"

"Your Majesty, the Beijing Camp has been abandoned for many years. If it were a wild war, it would probably be the opponent of the Tartars!" Zhang Weixian could only answer with a tough bullet. What kind of combat power does the Beijing Camp still have now?

I, the Ming Dynasty, raised you nobles just to hope that you can lead troops to fight. Now it seems that it is in vain. Chen Long stared at Zhang Weixian and continued to ask, "Why might you defend the city?"

Now Zhang Weixian dared not say that it would be impossible. If he could not fight or defend the city, then the emperor would still want the nobles, so why should he do the Beijing camp? "I should lead the Beijing camp to defend the city."

"That's good." Finally, you have some prospects. If you continue to say no, then the British Duke's unit will be cut off from you. Chen Long retracted his gaze and glanced at the officials of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of War. "The British Duke has the need. As long as it is useful for defending the city, I will report it to me. I will let the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of War solve it!"

"Your Majesty, even if the Beijing camp can defend the city, there is no army to support the king. When will the Tartars retreat?" Someone strongly demanded to summon the army to support the king, but Chen Long still did not agree and directly announced his retreat.

After the scattered dynasty, the officials were frightened and the Tartar army had entered the pass, but His Majesty refused to summon the army to serve the king. Do you just count on the Beijing camp? Then the capital city is in danger! No, I can't stay in the capital city and wait for death, so someone began to clean up the money, sell his property, resign from his official position and prepare to run away.

"All the memorials of resigning from office will not be posted. Write down their names. I want to see who dares to escape in the last battle. When I defeat the Tartars, I will settle the score with them!" Chen Long ordered. Cao Huachun and Lu Wenzhao immediately took the order. Dongchang and Jinyiwei took action at the same time, and they would definitely be able to dig out the details of these people.

"Guo Zhen, if anyone sells his property, you can send someone to lower the price!" Well, this is a good opportunity to make money. They are all in a hurry to escape. The industry that is usually worth 10,000 taels may be available now or 1,000 taels. If you buy it now, it will definitely make a big profit.

"Ding Baiying, I have been training troops for a thousand days. I have never treated the four guards of Tengxiang in the past two years. Now is the time for you to serve the Ming Dynasty! Can you do it?"

"I will definitely live up to the emperor's kindness!" Ding Baiying, Ding Jiaqian and other generals knelt down and saluted. After more than two years of training, coupled with various new cannons and muskets, they were full of confidence in defeating the Tartars.

"Okay, let's go down first and make preparations. Let the Beijing camp stand in a while. When the Tartars' aggression is depressed, you will lead the army out of the city to fight." After all, this was their first battle, and Chen Long thought it would be better to be careful.

In just six days, Huang Taiji's army broke through the mouth of Congxifeng, captured Zunhua, Jimen, Sanhe, Tongzhou, and then went straight to the capital. However, it took twice as much time than in the original history. It seemed that Chen Long had some effect on asking Liang Tingdong to rectify the city before.

When the Tartars' flag appeared in the suburbs of Beijing, the capital was in chaos. Many officials and civilians fled out of the city. Chen Long didn't care about ordinary people at all. But the official, the royal relatives and noble children dared to escape, so he asked the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei to record all the names of these people and settle the accounts with them in the future!

At the same time, the order was issued to allow officials in Beijing, royal relatives, and heroes to take their servants to patrol and guard the city walls to strengthen the city defense.

Chen Long also changed into armor and climbed the city tower with many important officials in the court to watch the dynamics of Huang Taiji's army from afar. Huang Taiji personally led the Great Beile Daishan, Beilejiergalang, Yuetuo, Dudu, Sahalian and others to command the four Manchurian right-wing banners and the right-wing Mongolian soldiers, set up a formation outside the Desheng Gate and began to invite battles at the top of the city.

Seeing this, the noble generals of the Beijing camp bowed their heads one after another, and did not dare to go out of the city to fight the Tartars.
